Chapter 238 Shura Array
Qin Lang smiled and said, "If it weren't for the letter from Mr. Lu, Qin Lang would probably not have come back so easily."
Lu Bu chuckled, then started coughing again. When the cough subsided, he said: "Don't lie to me, Bian Beiliu will not change his mind because of the old lady's words, and the old lady may not be willing to repay my favors back then. I understand in my heart that you said this... it's just that I want me... to cough...... it's better."
Seeing that he was coughing violently, Qin Lang asked the doctor to come over and take Lu Buyao's pulse first.
The doctor also recognized that the old man with white hair and beard was Lu Buyao, the prime minister of Da Yong, who was one of the past ten thousand people. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Lu Buyao comforted him without worrying and just taking his pulse for himself.
After taking the pulse, the doctor thought that Lu Buyao had just suffered from wind and cold, and his current condition was in the recovery period, but if he wanted to recover from normalcy, he still needed to recuperate for some time.
Qin Lang asked Lu An and learned that since Lu Buyao came to the imperial tomb, he had been spending his days in such a difficult environment. He was in his seventies and slept in the wind and was in the remote wilderness. He also wrote sacrifices every day and burned to worship the sky. Even the energetic young people would probably not be able to stand it, let alone Lu Buyao.
According to the instructions of the Empress Dowager, Lu Buyao would have to be here for three years, and it was obvious that he would take this opportunity to torture him hard.
Lu Buyao asked Lu An to prepare dinner, wild vegetables and porridge, and the staple food was black steamed buns.
Qin Lang said: "I will send some food to Mr. Lu tomorrow."
Lu Bu laughed and said, "I have enjoyed the rich and elegant food in my life, but now I feel that simple food is more delicious. Qin Lang, tell me about the outside."
Qin Lang knew that he was always concerned about state affairs and briefly said what happened recently.
After hearing this, Lu Buyao frowned: "So, you made great contributions to Da Yong. The Empress Dowager not only did not reward you, but instead asked you to come to guard the tomb. This is a bit strange."
Qin Lang said: "I was originally sent to guard the tomb before I went to Kitano, but Kitano's affairs were delayed. Now everything is as before, and it is nothing strange."
Lu Buyao said: "I asked you to guard the tomb because of the princess. It is said that the princess murdered the late emperor. There are not many rumors recently that the emperor's death has nothing to do with the princess."
Qin Lang said: "Xixi cannot kill the late emperor, this matter must have been framed."
Lu Buyao said: "It's not that the princess killed, but someone in the palace did this. From the murder of the late emperor to the empress ascending the throne, everything was arranged by the Queen Mother and Sang Jingtian." His meaning was already very obvious. The death of the little emperor was related to these two people.
Qin Lang said: "Sometimes I really want to put aside everything here and leave Yongdu, a place of right and wrong."
Lu Buyao smiled indifferently and said, "Can you avoid troubles even if you leave? You will stay away from XZ all your life. It would be fine if you are alone, but do you have the heart to let your family and friends live in anxiety all day long?"
Qin Lang was speechless.
Lu Buyao said: "Yong is not necessarily more sinister than outside. If you are in a good position, your luck will not always be bad. When you feel that you don't see hope and are about to give up, the turning point is actually not far away from you."
Qin Lang remembered the White Jade Palace. Is the White Jade Palace, which has ascended the throne, his turn? Everyone around wanted him to marry the White Jade Palace. If he got married to the White Jade Palace, then his status in Dayong is self-evident. Even Sang Jingtian dared not act rashly on him.
When Qin Lang first came to this world, he never thought that his decision could affect the fate of a country and even the world.
Lu Buyao said: "Follow me."
Qin Lang followed Lu Buyao to the northeast corner of Tongming Hall. Standing here, you can see the scene of most of the imperial tomb construction sites. At this time, night fell and the lights were still on the construction site.
Lu Buyao said: "Since I came here, people have died one after another in the imperial tomb construction site, and 371 people have died so far yesterday."
Qin Lang nodded. When the royal family built a large-scale construction, there was a time when the people's corpses and blood and sweat were laid. Looking at the lights in the distance, Qin Lang suddenly felt a chill for no reason. An invisible sense of oppression enveloped his heart. He couldn't figure out why, but he felt a little uncomfortable. The deep darkness inside his left arm exuded a chilling chill around his body.
Every time Shenming's warning is related to the undead, Qin Lang thought to himself, could it be that the little emperor's resentment is still staying here and he is resentful of his indecent death?
Arrays flashed in his mind. Lu Xingqiao used the seal-opening skills to teach him his lifelong art. Although Qin Lang was forcibly instilled with so many secret magic, it would take some time to understand. Whenever he encountered a situation, it would naturally appear in his mind.
Qin Lang suddenly realized the Feng Shui location and architectural composition of the imperial tomb, forming a huge summoning ground. Among the secret techniques passed to him by Lu Xingqiao, the secret techniques included the secrets of the eighteen Soul Breath Shura Formation.
The more Qin Lang looked at it, the more he felt that the design of the imperial tomb was wrong. There were nine stone towers distributed around the imperial tomb, and the locations were carefully selected.
Qin Lang said: "Duke Lu, when were those nine towers built?"
Lu Buyao said: "It was only after the First Emperor was buried. This imperial tomb was the tomb of Emperor Shunde. Later, Emperor Shunde heard that the Feng Shui here was incompatible with him, so he built half of the tomb and found other places, so the place was idle. After the First Emperor was killed, his tomb had not yet been built, so the court thought of it."
Qin Lang said: "Is the Feng Shui here not incompatible with him?"
Lu Buyao thought about it hard and whispered: "It was Lu Xingqiao's proposal to choose this place. It's strange that he was the one who advised Emperor Shunde to give up this place."
Qin Lang said: "Did the same place have completely different effects on the two people?"
Lu Buyao said: "It is said that after the emperor was killed, the empress dowager asked Lu Xingqiao to discuss it. Lu Xingqiao proposed to set up the imperial tomb here. Some people also proposed that the Emperor Shunde had disliked Feng Shui and gave up halfway. However, Lu Xingqiao said that Feng Shui varies from person to person. Everyone has different birth dates and horoscopes and fates. It is a great blessing for the unlucky places of Emperor Shunde, and the little emperor Long Shixiang. Just make some changes here, and the entire Feng Shui situation will become impeccable."
Qin Lang thought to himself that Lu Xingqiao is undoubtedly a fake person now. He suggested choosing the little emperor's mausoleum here and resetting the Feng Shui Bureau here. To be precise, this is not a Feng Shui Bureau at all, but a large summoning ground. The Soul Breath Shura Array is an array specially set up to summon the dead. I wonder what the purpose of Lu Xingqiao is?
Lu Buyao said: "In fact, the person who made a statement in front of Emperor Shunde and persuaded Emperor Shunde to re-select a location was Lu Xingqiao."
Qin Lang said: "Mr. Lu, have there been any killings nearby?"
Lu Buyao narrowed his eyes and looked at the lights in the distance, thinking about it. After a long time, he said: "Before this place became an imperial tomb, there was a name called Huilongpo in the past. It was rumored that Emperor Gaozu passed by here during his Western Expedition and looked back at Yongdu three times, so he got the name. More than a hundred years ago, the general of Xihaizhou, Yan Beihui rebelled, and the Dayong royal family had to use the Yin-Yang Wuji Map, open the gate of the Ghost Realm, and ask the Ghost Realm army to quell that rebellion."
Qin Lang said: "I heard that it would cost ten lives to recruit a ghost soldier."
Lu Buyao sighed and said, "Although I have never visited that era in person, I also heard about the miserable situation back then. After the Battle of Baijiang, the rebels led by Yan Beihui were wiped out. The entire Xihaizhou was bleeding, and the blood dyed the river of Baijiang red. The rebels were defeated in a miserable defeat, but the court was not the winner. Before the return of the army, all the army of the Ghost Realm disappeared strangely, but in the middle, the plague began to spread in the imperial army. Half of the 500,000 troops died of illness in the middle of the journey. The court ordered the army to station on the spot and not be able to return because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine. If the remaining soldiers stayed on the spot, it would be like a death. In addition, they believed that the court was unfair, and the resentment finally broke out, and the more than 200,000 soldiers actually rebelled."
Qin Lang had never heard of this past and was amazed secretly, but it was normal to think about it. Those soldiers fought bloody battles for the imperial court, but in the end they ended up being abandoned. How could it not make people feel sad?
Lu Buyao said: "The court quickly sent someone to comfort me and sent a doctor to send medicine, but no one expected that poison would be mixed with herbs for curing these soldiers."
Qin Lang took a breath of air conditioning, and the most cruel thing was indeed the royal family.
Lu Buyao sighed: "Most of the more than 200,000 soldiers died of poisoning by taking medicine. The remaining tens of thousands of people came here with a sense of righteous indignation. They were ambushed by the army and killed them all. The truth of this history has been hidden. I compiled the eight divisions of Tongjian and found this matter by chance. After I checked all aspects of information, this matter is indeed true. But strangely, the plague was only spread among the 500,000 troops and did not spread out."
Qin Lang said: "Did they have not contacted the outside world?"
Lu Buyao said: "How is it possible? After they rebelled, they rushed from west to east for three thousand miles, almost crossing half of Da Yong. They came into contact with more than a thousand people, but everyone else was fine. Just as the curse of heaven was just falling into this army, the plague was only spreading within them."
Qin Lang thought for a while and said, "Is it the price of summoning the army of the Ghost Realm?"
Lu Buyao nodded and said, "I think so too. The Yin-Yang Wuji Picture is an evil thing. Since the royal family launched that picture, the national fortune of Dayong has been cursed and has become worse and worse."
"Is "Yin Yang Wuji Picture" still in the hands of the royal family?"
Lu Buyao said: "I don't know about this, but I would rather this picture be destroyed long ago so as to avoid harming the world in the future."
Qin Lang said: "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat. Perhaps there is no problem with this picture itself, but I just chose the wrong owner."
