Chapter 79 The Underground Palace is LJZ's view of criminal law
Lao Mao and I stretched our necks, waiting for Rujun to tell this story about Yao Guangxiao.
Rujun looked at our expectant eyes, smiled, and said: "Because I was born relatively early, the version of the story I heard is definitely different from what is currently circulating on the Internet. In order to avoid preconceptions, I will give it to you first.
Let me tell you the story I heard. As for the online version, if you are interested, you can search for it yourself."
With that said, Rujun began to tell the version of the story she had heard.
First of all, Yao Guangxiao's story about dealing with the evil ghosts in the underworld of Bei Shang Jing was widely circulated. It is said that at that time, several of the evil ghosts in the underworld of Bei Shang Jing had already reached the level of immortality, which was beyond ten thousand years of Yin age. They were quite powerful.
Coupled with many thousand-year-old ghosts, the underworld in Beijing is very scary.
The most important thing in a city is the harmony of yin and yang. Although the real dragon Zhu Di is in charge of Beishangjing, it is obvious that the ability of these evil ghosts cannot be suppressed by the great emperor Zhu Di. With no other choice, Yao Guangxiao thought of a way to pretend to want
Building a palace in the underworld for them to live in is actually building a permanent prison cell for them and giving them a life sentence.
The ruler of the underworld at that time was not aware of Yao Guangxiao's conspiracy. In fact, the two realms of yin and yang complement each other. He believed that Yao Guangxiao did not have the guts to wipe out the entire underworld.
However, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of Yao Guangxiao. What this famous black-clad prime minister wanted at that time was to seal all the ghosts in the underworld in the underground palace he built.
At that time, the ruler of the underworld was extremely confident and arrogant. Because the ruler of the underworld was called the Son of Heaven and the True Dragon, the ruler of the underworld called himself the King of Dragons, or Dragon King for short. This means that even if there is one person in the underworld for generations,
Ten thousand emperors who claim to be true dragons, I am also the king of you ten thousand dragons and the master of all of you.
It was precisely because of their arrogance that they completely angered Zhu Di. With his authorization, he asked Yao Guangxiao to seal all the ghosts in the underworld.
Finally, after several years of work, Yao Guangxiao led a group of skilled craftsmen to finally complete the construction of the underground palace, and the Lord of the Underworld, the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons", swaggered into the underground palace and brought with him almost 80% of the ghosts in the underworld.
However, what he didn't expect was that this was just a conspiracy set up by Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di. When he entered the underground palace, he found that it was easy to get in, but it was absolutely impossible to get out.
No one can explain exactly how Yao Guangxiao sealed the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons" in the underground palace, but it is true that the "King of Ten Thousand Dragons" cannot come out.
Moreover, the King of Ten Thousand Dragons has brought almost all the powerful ghosts in the underworld into the underground palace. Most of the ones left outside are low-level imps who are only a few decades or less than a few hundred years old. So now, under the underworld in the Four-Nine City
The most powerful ghosts are only those that took shape around the early Ming Dynasty, because the earlier ghosts either expired and were reincarnated, or were sealed in the underground palace by Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black.
In this way, it perfectly explains the current situation of the four major families.
As for the messengers, they also emerged from the underground palace. Why and how they came out is not clear to Rujun.
Moreover, as for who the person in the sedan chair of Yonghe Temple was, Rujun did not say clearly. She just said that Yonghe Temple was the exit of an underground palace. Not only that, Beixin Bridge adjacent to Yonghe Temple was also a supernatural location.
Because about Yao Guangxiao, the legend circulating now is this.
That is, there is a dragon king under the old Yanjing. If there is a dragon king, there will be frequent floods. Yao Guangxiao built Beishangjing into the shape of Nezha, known as the Eight-Armed Nezha City, in order to suppress the evil dragon in Beishangjing. As for
There happens to be a locking dragon well in Beixinqiao, which is an eye of the sea. If it touches it, it will bring heavy rain.
However, according to Rujun's description, in fact, the person under Beijing Shangjing is not a Dragon King at all, and Yao Guangxiao is definitely not just trying to suppress disasters such as heavy rains and floods. What he longs for is actually the harmony of yin and yang.
After listening to Rujun's description, I was completely shocked.
I couldn't help but be shocked. Even the old cat was dumbfounded. He forgot to smoke. The cigarette in his hand was almost burned out, but he didn't flick out the ashes.
Ruoshui glanced at the old cat helplessly and said, "Hey, don't get cigarette ashes into the car..."
The old cat then awkwardly flicked the cigarette ashes out of the window.
This Yao Guangxiao is also very powerful.
He was able to single-handedly seal off all the ancient ghosts that were roaming the Forty-Nine Cities at that time. This kind of strength can be said to shock the past and the present, and is amazing.
But who knows how many powerful people in his time who were hidden in the wild and in the court silently dedicated themselves to helping Yao Guangxiao behind the scenes?
Now there are eight great masters. If we can't protect the world at that time, there will be eight great masters, sixteen great masters, thirty-two great masters and so on.
Thinking of this, a fresh idea suddenly emerged from my mind. Since the families of the Eight Great Masters are known as the Eight Lines of Immortals and Buddhas, and it is said that they have been passed down from generation to generation a long time ago, then the Eight Lines of Immortals and Buddhas
Could the ancestor be related to Yao Guangxiao?
Could it be that the ancestors of the Immortal in Tsing Yi, the Crazy Taoist, Mr. Zheng of Dream Butterfly, and the Smiling Buddha also participated in the comprehensive blockade of the underworld in Beijing?
I don't know, this is just a guess and more evidence is needed to support it.
But after hearing these things, I vaguely felt that a train of thought began to become clearer in my own head. I also roughly had some understanding and inferences about the heavenly catastrophe that my grandfather talked about.
At least from now on, I am no longer as chaotic and ignorant as before.
After figuring out the underground palace, I quickly asked: "Rujun, since the underground palace is like this, then why was that line built? Why did it have to go through the underground palace? Do the people inside want to come out?"
Rujun shook his head and said, "I don't understand this either. It's just that the envoy asked us to build it at that time. That line was actually mainly built by the Xu family, and the Chen family also participated in part, so until now, I still know too little.
The only thing I know is that Chen Xuance has been researching this route like crazy over the years. Almost all the mainstays of the Chen family have been used for this task, so now there are only two people in the Chen family, Chen Xuance and Chen Xiaoqing..."
I nodded. Indeed, the Chen family is indeed too thin. At first, I thought that the entire Chen family had been reduced to just Chen Xiaoqing and Chen Xuance. Now I finally understand that this is not the entire Chen family.
"Moreover," Rujun added: "You also heard what Mr. Chen said just now. In fact, there is more than one line. In other words, the subway line built by the Xu family and the Chen family was basically overlapping with Line 1.
, it’s just one of them, and there are many other lines left, so it’s even more strange, why are there so many subway lines leading to the underground palace?”
"The people inside want to come out. This is the only explanation." Old Cat took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.
Rujun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things are not that simple. With Chen Xuance's investigation, these lines have gradually begun to surface. I think the day when the truth will be revealed is coming soon."
"Rujun, do you think these are related to the catastrophe my grandpa mentioned?" I asked quickly.
"Of course it does matter. I always feel that these are the important factors that make up the catastrophe. Even you, including me, almost every one of us is a part of this catastrophe." Rujun said softly, looking into the distance, the entire
Everyone fell into a state of contemplation...
"We...are all part of the catastrophe?" I kept chewing on Rujun's words. The truth was not difficult to understand, but it was difficult to accept it.
The old cat threw the cigarette butt out of the window helplessly and said: "Oh, I'm just an ordinary person, why do you have to involve me..."
I smiled and asked, "Are you really ordinary? Why do I think you are an important person?"
The old cat gave a bitter smile, looked out the window, and suddenly whispered: "I miss Rhubarb..."
