Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Six: The Spring is Cold
"Where?" Jiang Mu asked.
"There is a remote small county in Ye County, Liang Kingdom called Qilin County. It is a very remote and very desolate small town. It is rumored that there is a Qilin here, which is the mount of an immortal." Mr. Qi said.
"There are traces to be found?" Jiang Mu asked in confusion.
"No," Mr. Qi shook his head and said, "But there are many legends about immortals in the world, and this place is the closest to the truth, because a treasure of heaven and earth has appeared here, called Blood Bodhi."
"Jiang Sheng should have heard of this blood Bodhi. It was only after thousands of years of Bodhi dyed the blood of the Qilin. Although no one has seen this Qilin, the Blood Bodhi really exists. I also found a blood Bodhi there twenty years ago."
Mr. Qi paused for a while and said, "Well, in addition, I have been in Qilin County for a while. On a heavy rainy day, I heard one or two strange screams, like horses but not horses, like cows but not cows. Unfortunately, I saw nothing when I was chasing him after him."
"There are only a few traces of immortals that I have been to. If Jiang Sheng is interested, he can go here for a visit!"
"OK!"
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "It's a matter here. In addition, if you have the leisure time, you can check the history more. For some reason, I have a vague premonition. The land gods... seem to be a great disaster on earth, but I have no specific evidence. I hope you can find more clues and we can deduce them."
Several great scholars attached great importance to Jiang Mu's words.
Because Jiang Mu's realm is the number one person in the world, his innate premonition will never be simple, just like them, he will have premonitions in advance.
What's more, Jiang Mu is a saint of literary and Taoism and adheres to the laws of heaven and earth. This premonition is worthy of attention.
"Don't worry, Jiang Sheng, we will definitely double the investigation!"
Jiang Mu nodded and said, "Hope is because I feel wrong, but I always feel something is wrong, because the trace has been erased too thoroughly. It seems that there is a mysterious force deliberately doing it, perhaps... it is hiding some secret or truth!"
Hearing Jiang Mu say this,
Several great scholars also felt that this matter was not that simple.
It is indeed a bit abnormal to have a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, but there is not even a single documentary.

At the end of the 13th year of Dingwu, there was a heavy snowfall in the Wei Kingdom, which continued from early winter to early spring of Dingwu in the 14th year of Dingwu.
In this stage,
The world seems to be not very peaceful. Wars broke out in several countries, some were civil strife and some were national wars. Among them, civil strife in Chen State is the most eye.
At first it was the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, but then the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was killed by the Xu Sheng Jiang Mu with a sword, which completed great chaos in a short period of time. Then many rebel troops appeared in the Chen State, among which the Zhulu Army led by Li Zhifu, the world's number one talent, was the most prosperous.
As for the world, the storm there has never stopped.
In the early 14th year of Dingwu,
A relatively sensational incident also happened in the Wei State. The representative figure of Shandong gentry, Mr. Mingshan, led more than 20 personal disciples to worship Jixia Academy, and Mr. Mingshan personally served as the mountain chief.
For a moment,
The Jixia Academy was famous and had a vague sign of restoration of the world's No. 1 academy.
It was also in the spring of the same year,
The entire Shandong gentry collectively submitted famous letters to the court, demanding to participate in the imperial examination organized by the court, and then it was even more rumored that the Shandong gentry also took the initiative to propose that this year's scientific examination be examined, the main examination of Jiang Sheng's concept of unity of knowledge and action.
As for whether to take the exam or not, the court has not spoken for a long time, but what is certain is that Jiang Zi’s Holy Rule must have become a major focus of the Wei State scientific examination.
…………
February 12th.
In the middle of spring, all things are awakened to the insects.
In this chilly spring, the cold wind on the river surface is as cold as a knife, and the tens of thousands of mountains are as depressed as a trench grave. Spring thunder explodes, the rumbling thunder is getting closer and closer, and the wind blows on the long street.
In the middle of Qilin County, Ye County, Liangguo, in the tavern at the end of the street, the candlelight was swaying slightly, dim and hazy. In the tavern, a waiter was wiping the table. Hearing the thunder, he gently closed the door of the tavern, covered a gap, and wiped the tea set on the table again.
After doing all this, the waiter put down his bupa, sat on the bench to rest, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the counter.
Then you have a young man in plain clothes reading a yellowed book, and he was fascinated by reading it. He didn't care about the thunder and the storm outside.
The waiter was a little bored, so he walked over slowly, lay on the counter and looked at the book in the young man's hand. Unfortunately, he was illiterate and had no idea what the fun was of a book that was not even illustrated.
"Young Master Jiang, you always read this book, but you haven't heard it. What does it write about in this book? Are there fox demons and ghosts?" the waiter asked.
The young man in plain clothes slowly raised his head, and a smile flashed across his pretty face in the lights, and he said, "There is no fox demon and ghost, but he talked about a person who slept for a while. It has been decades in his dream. Everything has changed and changed. After waking up, he is still a teenager, but he is like he has lived his life truly!"
The waiter said in surprise: "Isn't that just a dream? What's so good about it?"
“Yes.”
The young man in plain clothes easily closed the yellowed book, and the seal clearly stated "The Synestheses of Nan Ke Yishu".
A gust of wind blew, and the candlelight in the inn swayed for a moment, looking a little dull. The waiter said again: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that it is not peaceful in our county recently. You must not go out this night?"
The young man in plain clothes said in confusion: "How come he is not peaceful?"
The waiter looked around and suddenly said mysteriously: "I heard that a monster has come to Changli County. I will choose a handsome young man like Mr. Jiang, and eat it cleanly."
The young man smiled. How could he not tell that the waiter was deliberately trying to scare him for some fun, and asked, "Since they have been eaten, how could he know that they have been eaten? Who knows it is a monster?"
Xiao Er said stubbornly: "Of course someone saw it."
"Since you have seen it, why don't you report to the officials to catch monsters?" the young man asked again.
"Well……"
The waiter touched his head awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't believe it very much. It's all rumors. There are no monsters in this world? If there are monsters, wouldn't there be gods? If there are gods, wouldn't it be able to stop the war? Why bother so many people dying on the battlefield!"
The young man in plain clothes shook his head.
The waiter said in confusion: "Do you believe Mr. Jiang?"
"I didn't believe it before." said the young man.
The waiter wondered: "That's what I believed. When did you believe it? Why?"
The young man slowly stood up, hung the book around his waist, walked out slowly, and said, "I believe it after living for the second life, but I don't know which one is a dream!"
As he said that, the boy went upstairs.
The waiter left behind and muttered: "What does it mean to live for the second life? Can anyone live for a few more lives? Alas, Mr. Jiang is a hindrance to read books!"
The waiter shook his head, and did not think about it carefully.
This young master Jiang was a customer who came a few days ago and directly paid half a year of accommodation. He was a big customer of the inn. The shopkeeper came to take water to wash for Mr. Jiang every day, but he was not something that he, a waiter, could afford to offend.
He didn't dare to ask questions constantly.
At this moment,
