In the early morning, the whistling pigeon whistle sounded again on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. When Yun Chu woke up from his dream, Yu Xiurong was still sleeping soundly.
Yun Chu took off Yu Xiurong's legs from around his waist, tiptoed out of bed, and went outside to wash up.
After washing, he said to Yu Xiurong's personal maid Zijuan: "Don't disturb Madam, let her continue to sleep."
Zicuckoo said: "That can't be done. Madam said that as soon as Langjun gets up, she must be called."
Without Zijuan's greeting, Yu Xiurong had already woken up, yawning and wrapping her curvy body in her nightgown.
Although she had given birth to two children, this woman's body was still full of temptation for Yunchu.
Yu Xiurong hugged her husband's waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and said lazily: "Are you going to Fengyu Valley, husband?"
Yun Chu patted Yu Xiurong's warm little hand and said, "Being able to trap Di Renjie there alive means that the matter in Fengyu Valley is very serious. I have made an appointment with Wen Wen to go there to take a look today."
"Monkey Master said that things there are not big things. As long as Master Daoxuan is here, the Taoist priests at Louguantai will not be able to make big waves."
Yun Chu took the hot towel from Zijuan and wiped his face and said: "If it's not that Daoxuan didn't explain the matter over there clearly, or Master Hou underestimated the enemy, it would definitely be possible for Di Renjie to stay there for ten days without coming back.
It won’t be a small matter.”
"Magistrate Sun of Hu County used to be Lang Jun's subordinate. Are you asking him to dispatch some government officials to protect Lang Jun?"
"No need, the bad guy's outpost entered Fengyu Valley yesterday. Since there are no urgent reports coming back, it means it's pretty quiet there."
"So, husband, please be careful."
When Yunchu was having breakfast, Old Monkey and Naha were also there. They huddled together and whispered about the Huihe people.
Seeing Yun Chu coming over, they sat separately. However, Yun Chu had already heard what they just said.
Naha told the old monkey that her palace could be smaller or simpler, but the Buddha statue should be big and magnificent.
The old monkey told Naha that her palace would be built with jade, and the Buddha that Naha needed was a mountain, and Naha's palace was built on the palm of the Buddha's hand.
If what the old monkey said is true, then it is estimated that not many of the more than 20,000 slaves who built Naha's palace would survive until the completion of the project.
In this era, large-scale projects are built with human lives. The materials for Li Zhi's mausoleum are still being prepared and construction is not started easily.
Naha's palace is in a deserted area, so the difficulty of building it can be imagined.
The mountain the old monkey mentioned was definitely not a gentle hill. Yunchu had seen giant Buddhas built on hills. Which one was not on a cliff?
Leshan Giant Buddha, Maijishan Giant Buddha, etc.
However, given that Lao Houhou is a veteran slave trader, he should be able to gather enough manpower.
The self-denial side that Naha can show, and what she saw yesterday, has already had a little effect on her.
Since the two of them were using Uighur dialect, it meant they didn't want others to know, so Yun Chu didn't interrupt and just ate his own noodles.
Although Chang'an has entered early winter, this year's winter is not as cold as in previous years, but the sky is clean, and even the pigeons flying in the morning have returned to their nests.
Therefore, when the sun comes out, the sky is as blue as water.
When the old monkey saw Yunchu wearing hunting clothes, he said to him: "Don't worry about the affairs of Fengyu Valley. Since Li Chunfeng started the matter and wants to end it, it is not up to him to have the final say."
Yun Chu said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of Buddhism and Taoism competing, right?"
The old monkey shook his head and said: "That's the spiritual point that Changsun Wuji chose for himself. The Taoist priests want to pour the land there with the monk's blood. It is said that this can gather the spiritual beauty of Zhongnan Mountain."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "This is impossible. Changsun Wuji will be buried with Zhaoling. This was decided before Emperor Taizong died."
The old monkey said: "It is for this reason that we can compete with the Taoist priests. If Changsun Wuji does not accompany Zhaoling and chooses Fengyu Valley as the tomb, we will not have any trouble."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Does Changsun Wuji have the guts not to be buried with Zhaoling?"
The old monkey spread his hands and said: "That's why we think this matter has nothing to do with Changsun Wuji and we can fight for it."
"I'd better go to the field and have a look."
The old monkey watched Yun Chu go out and said to Naha: "I don't dare to imitate your brother who has to take care of everything and fight for all interests.
A group of good-for-nothing Da Qin people should be abandoned when they should be abandoned. Let Changsun Wuji kill these Da Qin people, which will also eliminate your suggestion that Li Hong kill Wu Zheng. It is a good deal for you.
You will be the king from now on. The meaning of king is to just be the leader and mind your own business. If the people below are willing to fight, let them fight. No matter who wins the fight, they will recognize you as their king.
Only those who do not recognize you as their king are the enemies you must eliminate quickly."
"My brother doesn't like me killing people."
"Fart, he killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood and heads in Liaodong. How dare he teach you not to kill people?"
Listen to Mr. Monkey and kill all those who deserve to be killed. Only then can the living people live a good life. In this way, you are actually saving people by killing people. This is a great good result."
Naha nodded and said: "Okay, we will only kill bad guys from now on."
The old monkey patted Naha's head with satisfaction and said: "This is a good boy. If you don't kill those evil people, are you waiting for them to harm the good people?"
When Yun Chu arrived in Wannian County, Wen Wen and Zhong Kui had been waiting for a long time.
Wen Wen said: "The bad guys reported that they could only enter the outskirts of Fengyu Valley and could not enter the valley. People from the Changsun family were guarding them. The bad guys originally wanted to climb over the cliff, but they were also blocked by the Changsun family.
The bad guy followed our previous instructions and left without any conflict with the Changsun family."
"Has the Changsun family closed the mountain?"
"No, according to reports from bad people, many people have entered in the past two days, but we are the only ones who cannot enter.
At the same time, according to my understanding, the reason why the Changsun family was so unscrupulous this time was because Your Majesty executed Prince Xima and Wu Zheng's family on charges of rebellion.
This was the first time that His Majesty refuted the Changsun family's reputation. Changsun Wuji refused to accept it and went to His Majesty, saying that Wu Zheng was unjustly killed. He hoped that Your Majesty would allow Wu Zheng's cousin Wu Mian to continue to serve as the Crown Prince.
His Majesty did not show any expression, and then came the matter of Changsun Wuji inviting Lou Guantai to find a tomb for him. He planned to accuse Your Majesty of being unfilial and force Him to retreat in the name of not burying Emperor Taizong with him.
Master Daoxuan of Jingye Temple was ordered by the Queen to fight with Lou Guantai in the name of gold found in the tomb.
As for the current extent of the fighting, we don’t know.”
Yunchu looked at the map of Fengyu Valley that Zhong Kui brought, and finally clicked on Daqin Temple and said, "Why must we choose Daqin Temple? As far as I know, a place where living people live is not suitable for use as a ghost house."
Wen Wen shook his head and said: "To deal with the Daqin Temple, the actual target is Naha. The construction of this Daqin Temple was only started in the second year of Yonghui. It can also be said that it is a Daqin Hu temple supported by your Monkey King to gather money for Naha.
The Hu people from the Qin Dynasty who traveled to and from Chang'an used this place as their residence outside the city of Chang'an, and it was also a place used by Monkey King to receive the filial piety of the people from the Qin Dynasty.
As a result, Master Xuanzang's lineage pretended not to see this matter this time, for unknown reasons.
Now, are you sure we still want to go in?"
Yun Chu sat down, put his hands on his stomach and said, "It seems that Master Hou has given up on these people of Great Qin."
He smiled softly and said: "If I guess correctly, even if Changsun Wuji lets these Da Qin people go, your Monkey King will kill these Da Qin people. He will not allow these Da Qin people to live to ruin Naha's reputation.
"
Yun Chu said: "In this case, there is only one question left, why hasn't Di Renjie come out yet?"
Wenrou took out three letters from the box on the table, all of which were written by Di Renjie to his wife Wang.
Wen Wenwen spread the three letters side by side, brought a basin of water, and spread the light yellow letter paper on the water. Soon, a line of red letters appeared on the paper.
After looking at it, Rou Wen said to Yun Chu: "Di Renjie said that he fell into a trap."
Yun Chu came over to take a look and said, "Magistrate Sun of Hu County has joined the Changsun family."
Wenrou spread the second letter in the water, and there were more handwritings on this letter. After reading it, Wenrou said: "Di Renjie may be in danger of his life."
When Wen Wenwen spread the third letter, which was sealed with turmeric water, in the alkaline water, he read the red letters on it and said: "When they saw that your monkey master was not fooled, they found someone to trap Di Renjie. Lao Di also said, now
They are just waiting for you to crash into the Valley of Plenty so that they can find an opportunity to kill you.
Moreover, Lao Di also said that this time Changsun showed signs of using gunpowder against you. If you don’t have a foolproof plan, don’t enter Fengyu Valley, he will find a way to escape on his own."
Yun Chu shook his head and smiled and said, "If I don't go, Lao Di will be dead."
Wen Wen frowned and said, "It doesn't matter whether the monk or Taoist priest dies. Nothing can happen to Lao Di. If gunpowder is used to deal with you, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
Yun Chu sneered and said, "Who else in the world knows more about gunpowder than me?"
Wen Wen said: "If that thing really explodes, you are not made of steel, and you are certain to die."
Yun Chu said: "Do you know what gunpowder is most afraid of?"
Wen Wen frowned and said: "Water, but now it is the late autumn season in Chang'an, and there is basically no rain in Chang'an at this time."
Yun Chu said: "That's wrong, what gunpowder fears most is not water."
Wen Wen asked in surprise: "What are you most afraid of?"
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said, "I am most afraid of fire!"
Hearing this, Rou Wen immediately cheered up and said, "Yes, gunpowder will definitely explode when it encounters fire. At that time, it can't tell the difference between friend and foe, and it will explode as soon as it is ignited.
At this time of year, the vegetation in Fengyu Valley is withering. Except for a river in the valley, there are weeds on both sides.
We started the battle with fire, burned it first to eliminate the danger of gunpowder, and then went in to find Lao Di.
I just hope that Lao Di can be smarter and not be blown up by gunpowder."
