Chapter 68: Great Zhou Fengyun leads to speculation
According to historical records, before the Yan Dynasty was unified, there were nine vassal states in the world. These nine vassal states conquered and killed each other. At that time, the temples and rivers and lakes were in great chaos, and countless masters and extraordinary figures were created.
The Soulless Old Man is just one of them. In addition, there are many masters who have emerged. Today, the seven major sects of Dayan, Yuheng Sword Sect and Blue River Sect were founded at that time and continue to this day.
Going back further, before the Nine Kingdoms Rebellion, there was the extremely powerful Zhou Dynasty.
However, the history books only record the prosperity and glorious history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for why such a powerful Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed and suddenly fell apart, there is no record. It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly became the most powerful.
It's like it has declined.
As a result, the nine major vassal kings in the world later separated their regimes and established the nine major vassal states, ushering in an era of mighty conquests and galloping horses.
What puzzles An Jing is that there is no record of the sudden decline of the Zhou Dynasty, either in history books or among the people, as if this is a blank history.
Although the nine countries conquered each other, they seemed to maintain a natural tacit understanding, which was to burn and bury this period of history.
As for why the Nine Kingdoms did this, not many people know, and perhaps most of those who know are no longer in this world.
"I don't know the specifics."
Jiang Sanjia shook his head.
"Is there anything in the world that your Guigu sect doesn't know?" Mu Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow, "Besides, isn't your Guigu sect a sect that has been derived from the Zhou Dynasty to this day?"
As the oldest sect in the world today, the Guigu Sect is good at calculating heavenly secrets and knows many secrets of the world. Jiang Sanjia also served as the Ritual Superintendent of Dayan Division before, so he can read some royal secret scrolls. Logically speaking, he doesn’t know anything about the world.
Things should be very few.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be fully calculated. This is the rule of our sect."
Jiang Sanjia pondered for a long time and said: "I only know one thing. The decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty must be related to the things sealed underground. This is stated in the Guigu Book. There are six seals underground today. In fact, these seals are also
They have existed for a long time. During the Zhou Dynasty, Buddhism suppressed these seals. Now, the Emperor of the Yan Dynasty built Suolongjing in Yujing City and seemed to have strengthened a new seal, so there are seven underground seals in total.
"
"By the way, there is a seal in Faxi Temple, and the seal is about to break. I just don't know what will happen if the seal breaks."
Mu Xiaoyun shook his head, "I have heard of these things, but they seem to be related to the national destiny."
When An Jing heard this, he became even more confused about the seal.
The fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually related to the seal. What exactly was the seal, and why did the Nine Kingdoms vassal kings erase this period of history?
Why is the seal of Hokiji Temple on the verge of cracking and his fortune is rising?
And what exactly are you and the dragon, or what are they metaphors for? Why do you go crazy when you see yourself?
Could it be that this seal is my destiny, so when the seal breaks, my destiny keeps rising?
All of this filled An Jing's heart with doubts.
The three of them spoke briefly again and fell into a brief silence.
"In that case, I will bury Xue Chen's body and plan to leave."
Mu Xiaoyun carried Xue Chen's body on his back, looked at the two of them and stood up to say goodbye.
An Jing looked at Mu Xiaoyun and sighed secretly in his heart.
A piece of precious ancient jade essence and blood was exchanged for a dead body. It is hard to imagine that this is the choice Mu Xiaoyun, known as the femme fatale in the world, would make.
"Let's go, leave Dayan." Jiang Sanjia sighed.
"Sanjia, don't use the ground as a prison to trap yourself." Mu Xiaoyun gave Jiang Sanjia a serious look, and then said: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you in the rivers and lakes."
"I hope we won't see you in the Jianghu next time." An Jing said with a faint smile.
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
Mu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then he straightened up and walked away into the distance.
.........
Jade Capital City, Yonghe Palace.
The courtyard is open and vast, with white stones all over the ground, lawns lined with flowers and trees, and beautiful pines and pavilions.
There is a pair of more than ten meters long Chinese watches standing on the Xumizuo in the courtyard. They are made of white marble, surrounded by dragons, and the wind rises from the clouds. There are cloud boards, dew trays and squatting animals on them, which is solemn and solemn.
Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard is a young man. The man is wearing a red robe, a Yishan crown on his head, and a jade glazed belt around his waist. He is not handsome in appearance, but he is somewhat attractive. His thin lips make people laugh.
vivid memory.
He was holding a jade birdcage in his hand and was teasing the spiritual bird in the cage.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, a middle-aged man, led by guards, walked in slowly.
The man's face is wrinkled and covered with traces of time, but his eyes are bright. This man is Yue Tingchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time.
The young man in front of him is Zhao Mengtai, the second son of the current emperor.
"Have you been able to find out what happened at Suolongjing just now?" His Highness Zhao Mengtai looked at the caged bird and asked casually.
"It's not serious." Yue Tingchen said calmly: "In recent years, the shaking of Suolongjing has become more and more frequent. The Imperial Master once said that it was caused by the loosening of other seals in various places in Dayan, but as long as the last seal of Suolongjing is
If there is no hindrance, you can sit back and relax."
"The Imperial Master is right in saying so."
Zhao Mengtai put down the birdcage, then clapped his hands, "But that's not what my father said. He said that seals everywhere are indispensable, and no mistakes can be made in one place. You still have to investigate this matter."
Yue Tingchen nodded and said: "What His Highness the Second Highness said is true."
Zhao Mengtai nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I heard that there has been a lot of unrest in Jiangnan Road recently. Has Mr. Yue heard about it?"
"I heard, it seems that there are masters from the Demon Cult." Yue Tingchen said with a frown.
The Demonic Cult also launched a rebel coup in Dayan, so the Demonic Cult was feared as much as a tiger in the temples of Dayan.
"I'm not talking about the Demon Cult." His Highness narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm talking about Jiang Sanjia."
"Jiang Sanjia?"
Yue Tingchen was a little puzzled.
Naturally, he knew very well about Jiang Sanjia. He used to work in the Qintian Prison. Where was the Qintian Prison? Jiang Sanjia was an important figure who specialized in fortune-telling for the emperor. This position was not something that ordinary people could hold.
However, Jiang Sanjia had a very strange personality. Various forces in the temple tried to win over him, but he was not interested in it. In addition, a series of subsequent events caused him to lose the trust of the Emperor. If Qin Tian Jian became popular, then
But it was red and purple. Once he lost power, it would be extremely miserable. After all, Qin Tianjian knew many secrets. Not only the emperor would be suspicious, but many other people in the temple would also be worried about him.
In the end, two years after Jiang Sanjia resigned, he was still imprisoned on charges of corruption and bribery, and later it seemed that he was secretly escorted to Jiangnan Road.
Chu Nanying, the Taoist master of Jiangnan Road, was a member of the prince. Needless to say, this must have been some method used by the prince to escort Jiang Sanjia to the sky prison in Yuzhou City.
According to the information obtained from the investigation, Jiangnan Dao Taoist leader Chu Nanying and Cao Gang leader Liu Qingshan also had a close relationship. As an old fox who had been in the temple for decades, he naturally smelled something different.
"What do you mean by His Highness?" Yue Tingchen asked in a solemn voice.
Zhao Mengtai said slowly: "What Jiang Sanjia committed back then was just some trivial things, and the person who impeached him was Zhu Yongfang, the Minister of Rites, right? Most of the people in Qintian Prison now are drunkards, and Jiang Sanjia is a descendant of Guigu, why should we
Why don’t you make good use of him?”
"Besides, my brother, the prince, is very ambitious. He actually wants to stir up this huge world."
Zhu Yongfang, the Minister of Rites, is also a member of the Prince's Party. If Jiang Sanjia is rehabilitated, it will not only win over Jiang Sanjia, but also eradicate the forces that weaken the Prince's Party.
The most important thing is that it can stop the current prince's next steps.
If the alliance of five gangs is promoted, then the prince will have a terrifying force in the world...
When Yue Tingchen heard this, he was shocked. Zhao Mengtai only revealed a little bit of information, and he guessed some information. He didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince's plan to be so deep, and his hands unknowingly reached into the world.
Logically speaking, with Zhao Mengtai's temperament, it is impossible for him not to respond.
His Royal Highness wants to promote the alliance of the five gangs and seek some help from the world, so His Highness cannot remain indifferent...
Yue Tingchen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mengtai asked with a smile when he saw Yue Tingchen's expression.
Zhao Mengtai had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were like sharp swords, making people afraid to look directly at him.
However, Yue Tingchen is an old fox who lives in the temple after all. He smiled calmly on his face and said: "His Second Highness, this plan is very quick. Jiang Sanjia is still very capable. If we can win over him, it will be a great help."
Zhao Mengtai nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it this way. What do you think we should do specifically?"
Yue Tingchen pondered for a long time and said: "The Holy One cannot refuse the reason of locking Longjing."
