※※"They all said - cutting with chanting*^_^*"
Partridge Shao and Chen Xiazi each had a big thing that they had to do, and they both believed that the other party's idea was vague and unfounded, and it was difficult to succeed. Moreover, the two of them had already made up their minds, so they couldn't turn back.
In the end, I just said, 'Everyone has his or her own ambitions, don't force it', and I just prepared to split up in Xiangyin to find the 'Tomb of King Xian' and 'Heishui City'.
As for Zhang Lin, he knew nothing about this. During the days when he returned to Xiangyin, he had been dragged by Mr. Chen to drink tea and watch movies, etc., to show his kindness as a landlord and to show his kindness in protecting Chen Yulou.
In the past few days, Chen Yulou's spy in Pingshan came back with news that the bandits and bandits near Laoxiong Ridge were dispatched in large numbers to filter the pits in the ancient tomb of Dan Palace in Pingshan.
A fierce armed conflict broke out between all parties, killing and injuring many people. Not only did they destroy the Dangong Ancestral Cave, but they also tasted the benefits. They thought that robbing tombs could make a lot of money, so they gathered a team to break through the local county town, and used explosives to blow up the anger.
Qing County: Fengming Ancient Pagoda.
Speaking of this ancient pagoda, Chen Yulou also knows a thing or two. It is said that this ancient pagoda is extremely supernatural and has been rebuilt eight times in history. Each time, it will inevitably collapse within ten years.
However, the cause of the collapse was not due to cutting corners or man-made destruction. Therefore, the reason for the collapse of the ancient pagoda cannot be explained. It was not until the last repair in the Yuan Dynasty that it was preserved to this day. It is a famous local monument.
The bandits and local warlords took advantage of the momentum of tomb robbery in Pingshan and used torture to interrogate the old monk guarding the pagoda. They learned that there was a tomb buried under the ancient Fengming Pagoda, which may be that of a Buddhist monk who died together with the general of the Yuan Dynasty in Pingshan.
After the thieves got the message, they immediately blew up the ancient pagoda and found several thousand-pound stone gates under the base of the pagoda.
However, apart from the golden body of Monk Fan, there were not many treasures inside, and there was also an incident involving corpses spitting out pills. In the chaos, someone lit explosives, and no one was killed.
The local people said that the ancient pagoda was destroyed and that the corpse king in the mountain could no longer be suppressed. Every household posted a Chenzhou talisman, and the entire Laoxiong Ridge was in chaos, making everyone feel uneasy.
Chen Yulou was furious when he found out.
Unexpectedly, he made a mistake with the gang of thieves in Xiling and finally killed those unscrupulous thieves. He couldn't help but feel annoyed and thought about doing something big to regain his prestige.
It happens to be the fifteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the day when Mr. Guan sharpens his sword. There will be an annual reward and punishment ceremony. On this day, the thieves from all over the Changsheng Mountain who put incense will come from all over to gather.
As the general leader of Green Forest, Chen Yulou occupied the top golden position. He immediately opened an incense hall in the Wusheng Temple in Xiangyin, dedicated the statue of Guan Gong, and gathered the leaders of thieves and thieves from all walks of life, seven to eight hundred people.
All gathered in front of the hall.
It never rains every March 15th in Xiangyin, and this day is no different.
That day, the sky was covered with clouds and drizzle.
Deep in the dark clouds, there was faint thunder rolling. Although the hall was wide, it could only accommodate a hundred people, and the remaining hundreds of people had to stand in the rain.
The occasion of the new defeat was not as good as in previous years, so the atmosphere was particularly solemn, and nearly a thousand people were silent.
First, the leader of the bandits, Chen Yulou, came out and led the crowd to kowtow the Guan Gong knife, and then they burned incense and prayed in front of the shrine.
This green forest road is different from ordinary incense burning. According to ancient custom, thieves and thieves burn three and a half handfuls of incense.
Many of them contain allusions and conventions about advocating thieves and upholding righteousness, implying three and a half branches of loyalty.
The first one was burned to Yang Jiaoshuai and Zuo Botao from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The other two incense sticks were burned to Liu, Guan, and Zhang who were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, as well as the one hundred and eight generals of Shuibo Liangshan.
They have both brotherhood and loyalty to the emperor and his subjects.
The last half of the incense was burned to the heroes of Wagang Village.
As for the hero of Wagang who cannot receive the full incense, he still has to tell the story of his sworn friendship.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was unjust and the world was in chaos. Thirty-six friends of Jiajialou formed an alliance and rebelled. They gathered in Wagang Village and raised a banner to uphold justice for heaven and fight against injustice.
He was famous all over the world for a time, but later everyone in the group surrendered to Li Tang according to God's will, but Shan Xiongxin, a member of the sworn group, would rather die than surrender to Tang Dynasty and lost his life.
When he was taken to the execution ground, among his sworn brothers, only Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao came to the execution ground to see him off.
Therefore, Wagang's righteousness has an incomplete ending, and only half of the incense can be offered to them as a warning to future generations.
Chen Yulou burned incense and paid homage to the Shinto Holy Spirit, which was the annual merit-based reward for the Xiling bandits.
As the saying goes, thieves also have their ways, and thieves think they are the true colors of Liangshan.
The people among them either had no choice but to become bandits because of the government's oppression of the people, or they had talents that were not recognized and took advantage of this green forest to live temporarily.
So it's not something to be ashamed of.
However, thieves also have their own rules. Anyone who violates the taboos is seeking death.
The punishment in Changsheng Mountain is even more severe. Anyone who commits adultery will be punished one by one.
Chen Yulou immediately ordered the execution deacon to come forward and reiterate the commandments of Changsheng Mountain. The deacon laid out various torture instruments on the incense table in front of the hall, and then recited in public:
He swept away the ashes and dumped the stove, forgot his loyalty, broke his feet and hands, dug a hole and buried them.
The following offenders disobey orders, and their skin and flesh will be burnt with an eighty-red stick.
If you are greedy for water and ventilation, you have to take care of it, even if you have three cuts and six holes.
If you accidentally ruin the name of the mountain with your words, you will chew it with your own tongue.
………”
After the deacon finished reciting each item, Chen Yulou waved his hand, and seven or eight thieves were kidnapped and brought to the front of the hall.
These people were all cowards who, together with the deserters from the warlord's troops, took the treasure and escaped during the Pingshan landslide. They were all captured later.
At this time, they saw that the leader of the bandits' face was as dark as water, and everyone in the temple was filled with murderous intent. They thought they would die this time, and each one of them was like chaff in a sieve.
At this time, I heard Chen Yulou ask the deacon: "According to the rules of Changsheng Mountain, how should a person who swallows water in battle and escapes escape be punished?"
The deacon replied: "This is a serious crime and cannot be forgiven. As a rule, your body should be dismembered under the knife, and you should not be buried with your whole body after death."
The seven or eight bound thieves heard every word clearly, and their faces were ashen as death. When things came to a close, they could not blame others, so they had no choice but to close their eyes and wait for death. The rest of the thieves were also watching in horror in front of the hall.
Li is in danger.
But after hearing this, Chen Yulou said: "The Pingshan Ancient Tomb has killed many of our brothers in vain. This is because I was indecisive and failed to plan carefully in advance. If according to the rules, the sword should be cut through the neck and the head, I should behead it first."
My boss, although these brothers have committed crimes, their crimes are not worthy of death, they can only be punished by extinguishing the lights."
When the group of thieves in front of the hall heard this, they all admired the thieves leader's magnanimity in speaking frankly about his mistakes, and quickly tried to dissuade him. They all said that what happened at Pingshan was God's will, and that we deserved this setback in Changsheng Mountain. It cannot be reversed by human power, and the fault is not one person's.
Shengshan must not be leaderless and expect the helmsman to lead everyone to a comeback in the future.
Chen Yulou was originally reluctant to part with his more than 100 kilograms, and pretended to seek death and survival. After being persuaded by everyone, he quickly got off the mountain and took the opportunity to spare the thieves and ordered them to follow him.
The thieves rescued their lives at the expense of their merits. With tears streaming down their faces, they obeyed the orders wholeheartedly.
Chen Xiazi walked to the front of the hall and said loudly in front of the group of thieves: The world is declining now, and it is the autumn when heroes and heroes make great achievements. We, a hundred thousand soldiers, have been scattered in all directions since the defeat of Chimei in the Han Dynasty, and gathered in the mountains and forests.
like
This person has been "hiding in the mountains and stalking the rivers and lakes" for a long time. Although he only does things like "fighting for profit, dividing the viscera and gathering righteousness", he often has big plans involved. Looking at the situation in the world, it is already turbulent all over the world.
People's thoughts change, how can we not remain still?
Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who know the ways of the world are heroes.
At this great opportunity, if we heroes unite and unite, we will surely be able to achieve a golden waist and a purple coat, and leave a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty. This life will not be wasted, and the autumn of the grass and trees will not be wasted."
The thieves were all reckless people. After hearing Chen Yulou's extremely inflammatory words, they immediately said yes.
It's just that the warlords in the north are powerful now, and they all have foreign guns and artillery, which are extremely sharp. Although there are a few warlords in Changsheng Mountain, they are difficult to compete with. Without a large number of advanced munitions, it will definitely not be possible.
Chen Yulou said that the Xiling group of thieves were accustomed to robbing tombs for profit. In ancient times, any imperial mausoleum could take away most of the world's wealth. As long as they stole an intact imperial mausoleum or the tomb of a great prince,
That gold, jewels, jade, and even ancient treasures can be inexhaustible even if tens of thousands of people take several months.
A few days ago, he happened to learn that there was a tomb of King Xian behind Zhelong Mountain on the bank of Lancang River.
The tomb is luxurious and solemn, and most of it is not from the human world. If this tomb can be stolen, great things will happen, and the treasures in the tomb will not be exhausted even in ten lifetimes.
After hearing this, the group of thieves all knew that the mountains and rivers in Yunnan were high and the roads were far away. Traveling through mountains and rivers was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Moreover, it was a barbaric place far away from Changsheng Mountain's sphere of influence. Needless to say, there were all kinds of extremely difficult and dangerous places, but it was also a way to become famous.
Wrist, opportunity to make a fortune.
The ambitious ones among the thieves wanted to go along, but the mature and prudent ones did not advocate going. There were also many who were hesitant, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Since Chen Yulou suffered a setback at Pingshan and saw the skill of Zhang Lin and Partridge Shao in stealing the ancient tomb in Pingshan, he felt that it would be difficult to accomplish the task with a large number of people.
He thought in his heart: Soldiers are more valuable than more. This time he only took a few dozen people south to Yunnan. Even if he couldn't steal the ancient tomb of King Xian in the end, he wouldn't lose too many men.
Otherwise, if thousands of people die, even if others don't say anything, I will have no shame in being the helmsman anymore.
※※Cut to rule forever
Chen Yulou made up his mind and ordered the bandits from Xieling to prepare what they needed for their trip. It would be difficult to leave for a while. But Partridge Post went alone and left at will.
Within a few days, everything was packed and we immediately found Zhang Lin and were about to set off.
When Chen Yulou heard about it, he insisted on sending it off, so he took a few close followers and sent the partridge whistle all the way to Dongting Lake.
Eight hundred miles away, Dongting is filled with vast smoke and shadows of sails.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao have been running around all their lives, always entangled in worldly affairs, and never have a moment of leisure. At this moment, seeing the scenery of the mountains and the water, they both feel like they have washed away the dust in their chests. When they looked up, they saw a restaurant on the mountain beside the lake. Chen Yulou
Then he proposed to go upstairs and have a distant view, and have a jug of water and wine to see off the partridge whistle.
Hearing this, Partridge Whistle said it was very good. Just when he was about to see the scenery of Dongting, Chen Yulou ordered his men to wait downstairs. He and Partridge Whistle went up to the second floor one after another and took a seat by the window.
We sat down, ordered some food and drinks, and drank a few glasses together. Then we looked out the window and saw that this restaurant was in a great location. When we climbed up the stairs, we could see the sails rising under our feet, and the mountains and rivers in the distance were all in front of our eyes.
The two of them were originally full of anxiety, but now they saw the lake and the mountains in the distance at the top of the building. They were just like walking in the scorching heat and suddenly encountered a clear spring, and they felt more in their hearts.
Chen Yulou held the wine glass in his hand and looked at the lake. He couldn't help but feel full of ambition and said to the partridge whistle: "Brother, you see, from ancient times to the present, there is a group of earth-shattering heroes who are not afraid of dangers and hardships, just for this.
The country is splendid, and the great strategies are used to conquer the world. The reputation of being good at teaching has been passed down through the ages.
You and I are both full of real talents and learning, we must not fall behind and be negligent!"
Partridge Whistle only wants to find the Muchen Bead, he does not have Chen Yulou's ambition, and he is already tired of going through life and death all day long.
At that moment, I saw Chen Yulou mentioning his old words again, and wanted to persuade me to join the group, so I had to say perfunctorily: "The number of gains, losses, and prosperity is mostly God's will, how can we let people care about it?
Unlike Brother Chen, I don’t have any talent for grandiose plans. After finding the Muchen Bead, if God has pity on me and allows me to survive, I would like to learn how to live in seclusion across the five lakes and travel far away like a hermit in ancient times.
Jianghu, I will never do this life-threatening thing again."
Chen Yulou saw that Partridge Whistle had made up his mind, and knew that it was difficult to keep him, so he thought to himself: That's fine, anyway, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and since it can't be used by me, it's better to let him retreat into the world, so as not to meet with swords and guns in the end.
, broken loyalty.
Anyway, this guy's excavation of sand in Heishui City in Xixia is probably a waste of effort. Only after I steal the tomb of King Xian in Zhelong Mountain will I let you know the true ability of Changsheng Mountain, which is definitely beyond the reach of Taoists who move mountains.
But Chen Yulou didn't know the skills of Partridge Whistle, so he planned to use the red girl as a bargaining chip in the future to let Partridge Whistle sacrifice his life for Changsheng Mountain a few more times. He then said to Partridge Whistle: "Since Xiandi has no intention,
, I won’t force you as a brother, but I still have something to ask you.”
Hearing this, the partridge whistle was confused and asked what was going on. Chen Yulou smiled and said: "This is a good thing. The red girl from our mountain asked Chen to be a matchmaker.
Brother Wei has always regarded her as his own sister, so he agreed. When we were at Pingshan, I saw that you were also interested in her. If I had not waited for you to come back from Blackwater City and let her go with you, her family would have been destroyed.
, she is also a miserable and lonely person, and the green forest is not the place for her to settle down and live her life after all."
Partridge Whistle ignored the details and responded immediately: "We are going to Heishui City in Xixia. The success or failure is unpredictable, but as long as we have the chance to come back, I will live up to Brother Chen's kindness and be willing to take her far away."
When Chen Yulou heard this, he cursed in his heart: You are such a fake Taoist priest who cultivates his mind but not his words, and abstains from sex but not sexual immorality. You agreed happily and did not refuse... But after all, Miss Hong is interfering in Changsheng Mountain.
It's fragrant. In the future, if she wants to pull out the incense and wash her hands in the golden basin, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Then let's see how I can make things difficult for you.
The two people had deep differences in their hearts, but they didn't reveal it. At this time, there were more and more diners in the restaurant, and the seats were packed. Most of what Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao did was secretive, and it was not convenient to reveal it in front of the public. They never talked about tomb robbing at the moment.
The only thing I do is drink wine, admire the lake, and point out the scenery of the mountains and rivers.
Unexpectedly, while drinking half of the wine, I heard the whispers of the businessmen at the table next to me, repeatedly mentioning words such as "Feng Shui, reverse fighting", which immediately attracted the attention of Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou.
Chapter completed!
