The tablets on the left and right are guarding the five-story tablets in the wall like stars over the moon.
The incense on the table burned quietly, and pieces of burnt ash fell down from time to time.
Below, Mr. Tang, Mrs. Mo and Li Mi are sitting on the left and right respectively.
In the lingering smell of incense, under the vague old voice of Mr. Tang, the veil about the Bronze Bird Treasure was slowly lifted...
In the last years of Yong'an in the previous dynasty, the demon concubine was born, causing chaos in the palace and confusing the emperor. Emperor Yong'an favored the demon concubine and favored the concubines and eliminated the legitimate sons. The middle palace was struggling, and the prince's status was even more shaky. Emperor Yong'an was in his prime, and the prince was really young.
The queen and the prince had to hide their talents and bide their time, temporarily avoiding the spotlight.
But even so, the demon concubine refused to make things easier for them.
First, the empress suddenly fell seriously ill, and then Emperor Yong'an listened to the demon concubine's slander and deposed the prince without telling him, and almost killed the prince. Fortunately, the old officials in the court tried their best to remonstrate with him, and the prince saved his life, but he was sent to Ningyuan Temple for house arrest.
Under such unfavorable circumstances, Uncle An Guo had a premonition that he would be the next one. Before that, he had to take precautions and make preparations for the prince in advance, leaving him to die later.
The An family was the richest man in the world at that time. After several generations of accumulation, they were as rich as the country. Uncle An Guo made a prompt decision and sent his confidants to secretly divide 90% of the family wealth into five parts and hide them in secret places.
It is not advisable to use a bronze bird as a key.
And he divided the twenty-five golden guards into five groups, took five bronze birds, and left the capital overnight. They dispersed and kept their names anonymous, waiting for the prince to grow up and call them back. The bronze birds gathered together to open the treasure, bring order to the chaos, and bring peace to the court.
.
Within three months, Uncle An Guo was framed by the demon concubine, his family was confiscated, and his entire family was exterminated. After being tortured in prison, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Immediately afterwards, the prince who was imprisoned in Ningyuan Temple also died of illness for no reason.
From then on, the demon concubine was in power, the emperor was obsessed with beauty and had no intention of governing the country, and the court was treated like a child's play by a woman.
He also carried out extensive construction work, occupied civilian residences, and built Lao Shizi's Lingfei Palace, which was a waste of life and money.
Moreover, he appointed all his cousins from his mother's family as officials, bullied men and women, and treated human lives with indifference, creating a mess in the court.
She also allowed her younger sister to have a good reputation and rob the courtier's son. Others would rather die than obey, so she ordered the seizure of the other three clans.
There are countless things like this that make people and gods angry.
Yan Guan risked his life to remonstrate and asked Emperor Yong'an to execute the demon concubine in order to uphold the order of the emperor. The pillars of the Jinluan Hall were dyed red layer by layer with blood. Unfortunately, Emperor Yong'an still refused to listen.
In the end, the imperial court was in chaos, but the world was not in chaos.
When troubled times arise, rebel armies rise up in various places to attack the evil concubines and the cowardly kings, and restore peace to the world.
The Li family returned in dismay, and later established the Dali calendar. Since then, nearly two hundred years ago, starting from Taizu, they have been diligent in government and caring for the people, and the people have all praised their merits.
Today, the Holy One has peace in the world, peace in the country and peace in the people.
Mr. Tang sighed quietly, looked at Li Mi, and continued: "The Jinjia Guards remember Uncle An Guo's order, and they form a group of five to guard the Bronze Bird. They stay anonymous, hibernating in secret, without contacting each other, just to wait for the prince to grow up.
So that I can hand over the bronze bird and achieve complete success,
Unfortunately, they did not wait for the prince, uncle An Guo also died, and the world was in chaos, so they could only carry out another order from uncle An Guo: if the prince could not recover, this treasure would be taken from the world and used for the world.
At that time, my ancestor, as the leader of the Golden Armored Guards, made a decision, contacted the other four groups of Golden Armored Guards, gathered them together, and then secretly inspected several rebel armies that had risen up, thinking about who to hand over the treasure to make the best use of it, and live up to the expectations.
Uncle An Guo’s wish.
However, the speed of the Li family to pacify the world was too fast and unstoppable, so they killed the demon concubine and the foolish king to restore peace to the world.
Therefore, my ancestor could only bring other people to settle down, and out of gratitude for his master, he engraved the mission of guarding the Bronze Bird in his bones and blood, and passed it down until his death."
"To this day, generation after generation, Jin Jiawei has experienced too much.
The treasure is a big deal and it is too confusing. By the time of my great-grandfather, every family had a large number of descendants and a mixed population. He was afraid that future generations would not be able to withstand the temptation and would fail Uncle An Guo's wishes, so he discussed it with other people.
The two golden armored guards who guarded the bronze bird were chosen by lot. Besides himself, the other one was the Mo family.
After their generation has gone away, only our Tang family and Mo family will know the secret of guarding the bronze bird."
Mr. Tang finished speaking slowly, and Mrs. Mo immediately took up the conversation, "As the head of the Golden Armored Guard, the Tang family attaches great importance to protecting the Bronze Bird and inheriting the master's great ambition. However, something like my father's change occurred in the Mo family.
My father is a martial arts fanatic who strives to conquer the world and is invincible. He doesn’t want to be trapped in that small mountain village.
Before my grandfather passed away, after receiving this secret, he handed the secret and the bronze bird directly to my eldest brother without saying a word, and then left Jinhua Village to travel around the world, relying on the knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the Mo family.
The unique martial arts skills of Guiyuan Xinfa are famous in the world, he has made a breakthrough, and founded the Guiyuan Sect."
"At that time, none of us thought there was anything wrong. My eldest brother and I saw our father carrying forward the Guiyuan Mental Technique and establishing a sect. We were very happy for our ancestors, especially as the senior brother and senior sister.
I went to the sect and helped my father teach his disciples and strengthen the sect. Later, he saw that the sect was getting better and better. It was a pity that my father had the idea of passing the sect to my elder brother, so he made our family guardian Bronze Bird
The burden of the secret was entrusted to me and I was asked to return to the village."
"Not long after I returned to the village, there was a severe drought in the south, and everyone had to flee Jinhua Village together to find a way to survive, and later settled down here.
My eldest brother took over the position of leader and continued to promote the Guiyuan Sect. We didn't meet often, but we always kept in touch.
Suddenly one day, my eldest brother's eldest disciple, who was seriously injured, came to me and told me that all members of the Guiyuan sect were killed by thieves, including my eldest brother. He was the only one who escaped alive and took my eldest brother's letter with him.
.
My eldest brother said in the letter that King Hou Li Jian was tracking down the treasure of the Bronze Bird, and somehow found out about the ancestral martial arts of Mo Daocheng, the third member of Jinjia Wei Xingsan, so he approached the Guiyuan Sect and forced him to hand over the Bronze Bird.
He was so shocked that he couldn't reveal the whereabouts of the treasure, so he could only pretend to be stupid and deal with it.
But King Hou obviously didn't believe it and insisted on my eldest brother. In the end, he sent a top killer to sneak into the sect to search. When he couldn't find it, he became angry and killed more than a hundred people in the Guiyuan sect. My eldest brother risked his life to help his eldest disciple escape.
Just to tell me that we should be careful about King Hou."
Mr. Tang continued: "My ancestors thought carefully at that time, and the people they finally selected were actually the Li family, but they couldn't use them at that time.
Nowadays, the Changle Kingdom is approaching fiercely. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Food and grass are indispensable for war, and money is also indispensable.
Sister-in-law Mo and I are already prepared. Even though King Kehou is ambitious and traitorous to the enemy and the country, even though he is a member of the Li family, we will never hand over the bronze bird to him.
It just so happened that the Crown Prince came to our door, so it was destined to happen."
