Chapter 145 Why did Lianjun end up at the end of the world?
The ancient houses in Fuzhou City are dimly lit by waves and reeds are thick. Occasionally, jackdaws wake up among the branches of the trees, and then scream strangely and dive into the indestructible shadow, quietly disappearing away.
Goddess Liu Ding has calmed down the frightened believers and continues to hibernate in this not-so-quiet night, waiting for the end of the long night. But what makes them uneasy is that even though the drum has been warned several times, it is far away.
The dim sky there still showed no intention of brightening up.
This trip was full of difficulties, and the only good news worth remembering in the past few days was that the Qing soldiers who had been searching the streets and alleys suddenly seemed to have withdrawn after receiving the news, and gathered towards an unknown place.
When Jiang Wen returned to the ancient house, Goddess Liu Ding showed an incredible expression.
Jiang Wen carried the man over the wall and came over, placed the unconscious Madonna with Red Lotus on the stone bed in the secret room, and then retreated two steps, allowing the women to come forward and scream in surprise.
"Quickly see if this is the person you are looking for. Anyway, I don't know him. These are all told to me by a triangle-eyed man."
The current situation is very delicate and very fortunate.
The Madonna of the Red Sun, who has been missing for several days, is still alive, but her breath is dying, but her life is not in danger. The other party is obviously very aware of her status and role, and has no intention of killing her.
Or it may be said that you can kill, but you must "die well".
Jiang Wen was overwhelmed by this series of extremely wonderful plots to kill with a borrowed knife. He could only admire and lament the depth and viciousness of the other party's schemes. This man knew the darkness of people's hearts and did not leave any traces. He knew very well that whenever conflicts arise,
Sometimes, those who gain more will doubt that it is the unbreakable truth.
He massacred the servants of Dingguang Temple in order to sow discord between Monk Yankong and the Geng family. Regardless of whether the murderer was caught or not, it was also true that the Geng family had been digging extensively here before.
Therefore, Dingguang Temple was attacked just as the "Shinto Monument of Mr. Yanshan" was excavated. The Qing government would never be merciful and make the assumption that the crime was innocent. Instead, it would only think about whether it was right or wrong to strike first.
.
This method has appeared many times and succeeded many times. It has to be said that it is an unsolvable problem.
The same method was used before when Feng Daode almost accidentally killed the Red Lotus Virgin. If this happened, it would become an irresolvable conflict between the Wudang Sect and the White Lotus Sect. And it is not a conflict that can be resolved by simply killing people, hiding corpses, and destroying traces.
.
Jiang Wen has always been very accurate in judging people. If Feng Daode was killed by mistake, he would never admit his mistake upholding the morality of the world. He would only use various methods to remove the Hongyang lineage of the White Lotus Sect from the world in order to maintain the reputation of the Wudang Sect.
Erase - after all, the Wudang Sect today is also facing internal and external troubles. It is not like the one dominant sect in the Yitian period, and it is not as simple as finding Zhang Cuishan and his wife to commit suicide.
All in all, this kind of operation is very interesting. The mastermind behind the scenes stirs up problems from the perspective of profit, but as the real culprit, he can calmly hide behind the scenes and watch the clouds thunder.
From this perspective, there is a reasonable explanation for the previous assassinations of Geng Jingzhong and Fuwei Escort, Lin Zhennan's difficult situation, the leaderlessness of the White Lotus Sect, and the complete indiscriminate use of everything in the Qing court——
The man behind the scenes, the Ghost-faced Man, wants to cause chaos in Fuzhou City in order to draw chestnuts from the fire.
But Jiang Wen still had something he couldn't figure out.
For example, why Feng Daode came to this muddy water inexplicably, and why he was deceived by this supposedly impressive thing twice in a row despite having used Tiansi silk before.
Jiang Wen didn't think he was pretending to be stupid for the time being.
Because this is too stupid, so stupid that anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and there is no benefit in pretending. But the current leader of the Wudang Sect must still have something in his hands that Jiang Wen doesn't know about, and he doesn't want to share it, so just
Just like his farewell without saying goodbye on Jiuxian Mountain just now, it seemed awkward from beginning to end.
Jiang Wen still had another puzzlement, the Red Lotus Virgin in front of him. How did she fall into the hands of the Ghost-Faced Man, and how did she get trapped in the banyan tree.
From the first confrontation between Wuyi Mountain and the White Lotus Sect, Jiang Wenzai knew that they liked to pretend to be gods and ghosts, so they created suspicions. But the man in front of him was said to have good martial arts skills and was proficient in the tricks of people's hearts. How could he be easily plotted and captured?
You must know that it is much more difficult to capture a master of martial arts alive than to kill him with one punch!
Fortunately, the answer to this question is now close at hand.
"Girls, you two have almost finished singing the show. Can you revive the person?"
Jiang Wen was thinking about tonight's situation in his mind. He hugged his arms and watched the Six Ding goddesses using various methods to save people. He watched them relieve acupuncture points, apply fumigation, massage the philtrum, and scratch the creaking holes. He was anxious.
He was sweating profusely, but there was no sign of Our Lady of Red Lotus waking up.
Since ancient times, men and women have not been close to each other, so Jiang Wen was too embarrassed to step forward and come forward, as this would easily appear to have ulterior motives and arouse suspicion.
The youngest goddess Liu Ding, who was always outspoken, looked at Jiang Wen with a mournful face: "Director Jiang, we have tried our best to wake up the Red Lotus Virgin Bodhisattva, is she dead?"
The older Goddess Liu Ding quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Our Lady's pulse is stable, how could she die!"
Goddess Liu Ding, who was bitten by a small stone on her leg, was well-informed. After thinking for a moment, she expressed her guess.
"Sisters, I once heard the Holy Mother Bodhisattva say that after I teach the magical skills and practice them to the realm of Wuyang Chaoyuan, once the mind is severely damaged, it will fall into suspended animation and rely on internal power to protect the body."
The youngest goddess hurriedly said: "Really! Sister, can you save the Holy Mother Bodhisattva!"
"I know the method. The Holy Mother Bodhisattva has said that if you want to use external force to break the turtle breath at this time, you must have the input of true energy from the same source and the same realm to show that you are there to protect you, and you will naturally wake up by then."
But the woman in gauze clothes said hesitantly, "But the six of us can't at most have the power of the Three Yangs Gathering. Tonight, our internal strength was injured due to strong luck. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do together..."
The women looked at each other and let out a long sigh. It is said that pretending to be dead is for self-protection, and they can wake up when the time is up. However, in this treacherous environment, every quarter of an hour without any capital is a huge danger.
.
Jiang Wen finally said slowly: "Maybe I can try it once."
Then he slowly stretched out his hand, grasped the wrist of the Holy Mother of Red Lotus through his sleeve, and urged the vast and majestic Nine Yang True Qi from his body to flow in.
In the expectant eyes of several people, as Jiang Wen slowly exerted his power, the pale face of the Red Lotus Virgin who was lying quietly turned a little rosy. The temperature in the secret room on the lake platform suddenly increased a few degrees, and it seemed that a turning point was about to come.
.
But what disappoints Jiang Wen is that some of the symptoms have not yet stabilized. His internal energy is like a mud cow entering the sea, being blocked by many meridians and then dissipating. Still unable to awaken the opponent.
"No, something seems to be wrong. There is always an inner force that repels me..."
The difference in internal strength between Jin Yong's Jianghu and Ming and Qing's Jianghu has always been a thorn in Jiang Wen's mind. At this time, he encountered a classic adaptation problem, making the two internal powers seemingly different but incompatible.
The light in the eyes of the Six Ding Goddess suddenly fell silent again.
A Liuding goddess comforted her: "The true energy we teach is extremely special. Unless it comes from the same origin, there is no way to figure it out. Director Jiang, the internal energy you teach and the internal energy we teach seem to be the same, but they are actually different. Thank you for saving the Holy Mother Bodhisattva tonight."
When I come back, I will never forget my great kindness..."
Although the Liuding goddesses could not hide their disappointment, they still did not forget to express their gratitude.
But Jiang Wen was like an experienced Mongolian doctor at this time. He refused to give up when faced with difficult and complicated diseases. His only advantage was his courage. He frowned slightly and glanced at the huge murals on both sides, and suddenly said
: "Let me try again."
Several different attempts at running the techniques failed again, but Jiang Wen had a vague understanding and took action again without any discouragement.
This time, Jiang Wen exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the method of practicing martial arts changed from vast and broad to fine and long. However, there was a majestic momentum like the rising sun. Goddess Liu Ding seemed to be inspired by something, and her eyes seemed to see it.
Above the sea of clouds, a rising sun radiates boundless brilliance, riding on the vision of majestic purple energy...
At the beginning of one yang, everything is renewed!
This time, the fingers of the Red Lotus Virgin on the stone bed trembled slightly, her eyebrows gradually furrowed, her chest seemed to have sucked in air for a long time, and she suddenly sat up with her body hunched over.
She breathed in the fresh air violently, touching the deep and winding scars on her face.
Goddess Liuding was overjoyed, and she quickly went up to fetch the water, bowed her back, and spoke softly to her, which finally helped her overcome the dazed state of unconsciousness.
The Red Lotus Virgin was still weak, but she took the initiative to push away the six Ding goddesses surrounding her, and asked to be alone with Jiang Wen, who had retreated to the door.
"Director Jiang, we parted ways in Sanliting until today. I didn't expect that we would meet here. Thank you for your help..."
Before the weak voice could finish speaking, Jiang Wen interrupted the words of Our Lady of Red Lotus without politeness.
"Holy Mother, there is no need to be polite. Jiang has several questions now. I hope you can answer them one by one."
At this time, the credit has been obtained, and Jiang Wen did not intend to set up any memorial arch to show kindness without repaying him. He originally wanted to master the information channels of the White Lotus Sect and clear up the final confusion.
Our Lady of the Red Lotus looked pale and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, we will tell you everything we know."
Jiang Wen immediately asked the first question.
"First question, are you the one who sent the message to the Wuyi sect this time?"
This question is very important.
If Lian Jiang Wen's entry into the situation was all a plan by the mastermind behind the scenes, then he might as well have fled the city on a train overnight. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
Fortunately, Our Lady of Red Lotus nodded slowly.
"My sect has offended your sect many times, and Hongyang Holy Child fell into the hands of the Taoist priest again, so I had to make this plan. At first, I wanted to come to the door in person to show my sincerity, but unfortunately, the incident in Fuzhou happened suddenly, and our sect Huang
The protector came up with this strategy as a way to delay the attack, but he didn't expect that the Taoist priest would come straight to Fuzhou City."
As Jiang Wen had guessed, the White Lotus Sect was unable to fight on two fronts, so the threats and inducements in their letter were all to delay time so that they could go all out to deal with the affairs of Fuzhou City. Unfortunately, Jiang Wen noticed the flaw and it backfired.
Heading straight to Fuzhou.
Jiang Wen guessed the series of causes and consequences correctly, but he didn't guess that the White Lotus Sect, who was supposed to be the leader of the trouble, became the victim of repeated schemes this time.
Hearing the other party's direct admission, Jiang Wen simply spoke out: "To be honest, I didn't take the previous disagreement to heart at all. I came here specifically just to tell you that Hongyang Saint Child himself chose to die.
On Wuyi Mountain, even the corpses can’t be found.”
Seeing that the other party was dumbfounded, Jiang Wen quickly added, "I didn't kill the person. If you don't believe it, you can go to Wuyi Mountain and ask the four surviving Liujia generals. They know everything - those four are still in my Wuyi sect.
Drink for free, pay for the meal when you have time."
After hearing the news, there was no special change in the weak Red Lotus Virgin, as if everything was expected.
"Is that really the case... I saw Shengtong's last letter in a decisive tone. I hurriedly rushed but it was still a step too late. Don't worry, Taoist Master, we will not anger others. Besides, if Shengtong wants to run away, I believe that in today's martial arts world, it will be impossible.
No one can stop him. Just please don’t let the sisters outside the door know."
"Why is this?"
"Master Haojiao knows that the Mingzun Sect has actually withered away for a long time. Many of today's Hongyang lineage are lonely people picked up by Grandpa Shengtong. Our friendship has not yet been repaid, but we have been separated forever..."
Jiang Wen also sighed slowly, and he could see that the person in front of him had a close relationship with Hongyang Holy Child: "My condolences. Let me ask the next question. What is the fight for in the city now?"
Our Lady of the Red Lotus put away her grief, sat up from the stone bed, and whispered: "All of this has a lot to do with the Protector Huang who I taught. Protector Huang was originally a descendant of the Yixu Huang family in the city, and ran Eryou.
The studio also sells some antique calligraphy and paintings, relying on its wide contacts with various parties to take care of the local people."
"It wasn't until he unearthed some unspeakable things in the ancient tomb that things became weird. He became suspicious and hid every day without a trace. However, I came to Fuzhou City to inquire and found out that he told
The messages to all parties are actually completely different!”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In his letter to me, he said that he had found the whereabouts of the "Nine Nether Scriptures" engraved by Youming in the former Song Dynasty; in his secret letter to Prince Geng's Mansion, he said
The Emperor's Temple in Youquan, Yongzhen, was about to be born; in his message to the Qing court, he said that there were clues to the Mani Orb in the Tower Alley; and in the Fuwei Escort Bureau where he worked as an accountant, he said that he had learned the secrets of entering and exiting the netherworld.
Method..."
When Jiang Wen heard the words "Fuwei Escort Agency", he couldn't help but frown.
"Hufa Huang's behavior seems to be intended to attract covetous attention from all parties, but it is somewhat similar to the behavior of the mastermind behind the scenes..."
No wonder the mastermind behind the scenes has been targeting Fuwei Escort Agency. It turns out that Fuwei Escort Agency has always been connected with this core figure. No wonder Lin Zhennan unconsciously showed a familiar look when he walked into Nether Alley Xiangdian!
Lin Zhennan, a fool, must have thought at the beginning that he had not fought for it and that he could sit back and relax if he had the things that all parties were fighting for. But the man behind the scenes didn't care about this. He was just a fish fry maniac. No matter how big or small the opportunity was, he would fry fish in the pond.
A ruthless one!
Jiang Wen took a deep breath and said to Our Lady of the Red Lotus: "Then do you know what Protector Huang said to me? What he said to me was that there are ghosts in Fuzhou City and ghosts in Netherworld Alley! He went crazy.
He recited the stories of ghosts and gods from past dynasties, recounted the evil omens of the underworld, and then stuffed himself into a small cabinet and died suddenly there."
After hearing this, the face of Our Lady of the Red Lotus turned pale, and she was so frightened and frightened that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden, revealing some traces of time.
As if she had encountered some kind of great terror, she said with a trembling voice: "Director Jiang, can I also ask a question?"
"Holy Mother, please speak."
"I remember that the letter only mentioned Quanzhou Cao'an Temple. I would like to ask the Taoist Priest, how did you know you were coming to Fuzhou City?"
Jiang Wen said bluntly: "In the hall construction drawings you sent, the cover paper was mixed with the official paper support of the Fuzhou government seal, so I guessed that you were in Fuzhou."
"...Protector Huang is indeed doubting me."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus sighed deeply, with a bit of despair in her eyes, "This flaw must have been intentional by him, and the purpose is very simple, which is to send a message to the Holy Child of Hongyang in Wuyi Mountain, asking him to hurry up.
Come back and save yourself."
"Did he do it on purpose?"
Jiang Wen frowned, and suddenly felt that fate was unpredictable. Who would have thought that this hidden message would happen to fall into the hands of Jiang Wen, an ally of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and this would lead him to enter the game alone.
However, this matter is somewhat reasonable. Fuzhou is an ancient city in central Fujian, and Huang Hufa is registered with all major forces. As long as Jiang Wen is involved with one of them, he will definitely get involved.
The Holy Mother of the Red Lotus sighed: "Yes, the reason why Protector Huang is willing to be Qin Muchu's repeated villain and travel around various forces to sell information is because he has always suspected that someone is trying to assassinate him. He has never believed that anyone except Hongyang Saint Child
Everyone outside, so I used this method to pass on the news without concealing it from our sect..."
"I can see that he is indeed afraid of death and is uncontrollably afraid of death itself."
Jiang Wen said slowly: "It's a pity that Protector Huang is still dead, and what news he knew has become a mystery after all."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus shook her head alone and looked haggardly outside the lakeside pavilion.
"Director Jiang, I guess your last question is who is the mastermind behind my arrest."
Jiang Wen nodded secretly, admiring the other party's intelligence.
"I will tell you this question exactly. It only involves some details of the two previous questions. Let me tell you slowly."
"I mentioned before that Protector Huang never trusted me because he served as a staff member in Fuzhou Prefecture thirteen years ago and was in charge of official documents and seals. He had many of these papers in his hands. My father was alive at the time
As the prefect of Fuzhou, he tortured cruelly and was corrupt and corrupt. On the day when the Qing army besieged Fuzhou, he had an affair with slaves, intending to open the city and betray Emperor Longwu."
"However, the hatred between the two was very deep. Hongyang Holy Child was also in Fuzhou City at the time. Out of righteous indignation, he teamed up with Protector Huang to kill my father and threw him into a deep well."
Jiang Wen was startled: "You have a grudge against killing your father, so how can you two have a good relationship? Hongyang Holy Child was also involved in this matter?"
Jiang Wen only felt that there was something wrong with the White Lotus Sect. Is it killing a whole family and then converting others to become monks?
The Madonna of the Red Lotus looked at her with a calm look in her eyes: "Taoist Priest, do you know where I was at that time?"
"you?"
"That day, I was lying in a coffin."
Our Lady of the Red Lotus expressed her deep-seated pain, but her expression was filled with sadness and a cold desolation.
"My father has not remarried since the death of my mother, and he appears to be honest and upright. However, secretly, in order to make money, he ordered me to marry the eldest son of Ding in the city. On the day of the wedding, he fabricated evidence of rebellion and killed them all.
He was tortured day and night in prison.”
"I have long been in love with Mr. Ding. Because I was not ashamed of my father's behavior, I went to see him in prison every day. But in order to make him despair and talk, my father deliberately told him that I was just acting on the occasion, just to make money together.
Money. Then my father locked me in the house and deliberately wanted to marry me to the city guard."
Once such heart-wrenching words are released, it will be extremely difficult for a weak woman to clean herself up, let alone the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which had the strictest feudal ethics.
"Of course I refused to obey, and cut my face with a hairpin to prevent him from thinking about it. From then on, father and daughter completely turned against each other, and there was no more kindness. When Emperor Longwu got the news, he rushed out of the city, and my father locked me up on the day when he dedicated the city to the enemy.
He was buried alive in a coffin and said to the outside world that I had died for the country and it was appropriate to add a banner, just to cover up all the bad things he had done and change his name and career again..."
Jiang Wen frowned as he listened. This story was so familiar that it seemed like he had made it up. But Jiang Wen knew very well that even if the person in front of him really wanted to make up a story, it would be impossible for him to match the details in his mind.
degree of agreement.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Good guy. Only now do I realize that your father is really Ling Zhifu, and he deserves to be Ling Zhifu..."
Jiang Wen said something strange without beginning or end, but Our Lady of the Red Lotus could feel that the other party believed it very firmly, "What happened next?"
"At that time and not long after the burial, Hongyang Shengtong happened to sneak into the house and heard the yamen's discussion. He was furious and killed the yamen who committed the crime. He said that the justice of the family and the country had nothing to do with him, but there were such bastard parents in the world who did not raise or educate.
He has to take care of it no matter what!"
"The Saint Child of the Red Sun smashed my father's skull into pieces with one palm and threw it into an ancient well. Later, when the war broke out, I gave up my name and joined the White Lotus Sect until I became the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, burying these past events deep in my heart.
"
In the rolling torrent of history, some people try their best to fight like a chariot, some people are drifting in the current, and some people join in the current and will be tainted for thousands of years, but most people can only be carried away by the mighty force, unable to express their feelings.
A trace of sound was made, scrawling and ending this miserable life.
After all, before going against the general trend, how much noise can ordinary people make, so that those Long Bo giants who think they can reach the sky and fish with poles all day long will even take a look?
Her journey from Miss Ling to Our Lady of the Red Lotus was just a step that was destined to happen.
"The five poisons are blazing and suffering, and the three realms are like a house on fire. When they are fighting against each other, the weak eat the strong, and there are many ways to kill people. It is really sad."
Jiang Wen didn't know what to say, so he had to use Buddhist sayings to comfort him.
Although these sayings in Buddhist scriptures are used too often, they are just like words on wheels, but it is true that there will be great suffering and catastrophe in the world, and fights are inevitable. As a human being, you can't pity the mouse when you encounter a cat and catch a mouse, or give to the sheep when you encounter a tiger eating a sheep.
Revenge, if this continues, when will the injustice be repaid?
Of course that's what he said, but deep down in Jiang Wen's heart, even if he knew where the suffering came from, he would not pretend to be kind and compassionate.
If he had encountered these things that day, he would have just raised his hand and smashed the other person's head like the Hongyang Saint Child, so that his eyes would be clear and his thoughts would be clear.
"By the way, I saw a man who had been imprisoned for many years in the waiting room of the Fuzhou government office. Do you have any clues about this?"
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus gave Jiang Wen a meaningful look.
"I once went back to find him. He said that all rights and wrongs were meaningless. He was just a cripple waiting to die. Even if he went outside now, it would just be a bigger cell. He also said that I would not use it.
I have to go look for him again and bring him misfortune."
Our Lady of the Red Lotus touched the hideous scars on her face with self-pity, her fingers trembling slightly as if feeling pain again, and she didn't know whether the pain was from a long-healed wound or from her stabbed heart.
Jiang Wen also saw that there was something wrong with her state today. Ever since the Red Lotus Madonna woke up, her mood seemed to be wandering on the border between extreme and depression, and she could always notice something strange.
"Hey, I made a mistake. It's too painful to recall these things. I'll go out and check the surroundings before coming back. You can rest for a while first."
Jiang Wen originally wanted to give the other party some time to manage his emotions, but when he looked back at the expression of the Red Lotus Virgin, it revealed the calm and perseverance after the dry wood was burned out.
"Director Jiang has misunderstood. I am not here to feel sorry for myself and seek sympathy. I have said so much just because this is what I find difficult to accept, and the answer you want is here..."
The Red Lotus Virgin breathed for a moment and finally gave the answer she had been preparing for a long time.
"I saw my father again. The person you are looking for is probably him."
Jiang Wen was suddenly startled.
"Prefect Ling? Isn't he dead?"
Our Lady of Red Lotus nodded firmly.
"Yes. He died thirteen years ago. He was beaten to death by the Holy Child Hongyang himself. His drowned body was salvaged and cremated on the spot. These people in the Fuzhou Prefecture Yamen have all seen it with their own eyes. There is no way they can lie."
"Then are you sure you saw him?"
Our Lady of Red Lotus is still very confident.
"Exactly. I saw his figure in Netherworld Alley, and then tracked him all the way to the Jade Emperor Pavilion in Jiuxian Mountain. He took off the ghost mask there, and his appearance was exactly the same as it was thirteen years ago, even the collapse of the top of his skull.
Same."
Jiang Wen took a breath: "Good guy, that's really like seeing a ghost..."
However, when Jiang Wen looked back and thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not worth hearing about it - after all, just tonight, he and Feng Daode chased a ghost for two miles.
He had already guessed the magic of the Mani Orb. Jiang Wen had always believed that it would bring some kind of hallucination to people, and that it might also involve Yixi, whom he was most wary of.
"My father suddenly became very powerful in martial arts, and his attacks were unfathomable. He said that there would be drastic changes in the three mountains tonight, and he would watch Hecheng fall into hell. He would not kill this good daughter of mine, but would let me
I have personally experienced the feeling of being unable to die under the underworld..."
Even though the Holy Mother of Red Lotus recalled the scene of the father-daughter meeting, she still couldn't help but shudder.
Over the years, she has also pursued and explored ghostly things, and searched for horrifying phrases in old papers, but the most vicious and terrifying expression she has ever seen in her life, without exception, appeared on the same face.
superior.
Jiang Wenlian thought of the story of the ancient city sinking into the bottom of the lake. According to the records of "Three Kingdoms·Wu Zhi" and "Sou Shen Ji", the ancient Chao City was transformed into Zeguo during the Three Kingdoms period, and the people were reduced to fish and turtles. It is quite similar.
Huang Quan Hao Li's statement.
The ancient temple in the middle of the lake? Maybe all this is really related to the lake.
"It turns out that the mastermind behind the scenes is Prefect Ling?!"
Jiang Wen said to himself, "Okay, I can barely accept this answer. After all, I have long admired this man's insidiousness. It's no wonder he can grasp the evil and darkness in people's hearts.
So clever..."
Then he changed the subject, "By the way, why do I feel that you hate your father's appearance more than you are surprised by the resurrection of the dead?"
A forced smile appeared on the pale face of the Red Lotus Virgin, and she sensed that Jiang Wen was deliberately trying to lighten the atmosphere.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's natural. Although many of my teachings have been lost, I know a lot about the underworld, and I also know about the Yinquan Sea Eye under Fuzhou City.
In the Tang Dynasty, Master Hulu was forced to seize the Mani Pearl into the Three Mountains. He was worried that it would be used by traitors and cause even greater disasters, so he passed down the method of restraining the Mani Pearl through the lineage of the leader."
"Later, the Mani Orb was quietly taken away, and after hundreds of years, it found its way into the hands of our sect's leader Han Lin'er. Leader Han is an amazingly talented person, and he derived the art of injury from the method of restraint and suppression, which can communicate with the underworld.
, borrowing corpses to revive souls, thus preserving many scriptures and classics of our religion.”
"Is it so magical?"
Jiang Wen was a little happy to see the hunter, and couldn't help but start gossiping. Because Mingjiao is keen on rebellion, its classics have long been suppressed by many parties. They have always been regarded as evil and false, and they have been strictly investigated and banned, so that they can only rely on the name of Buddhism and Taoism again and again.
Remains.
For example, "Yi Jian Zhi" records that someone bribed the editor of "Tao Zang" to secretly include it in the Mingjiao classic: "The title of the sutra is "The occasion of the two sects." The two sects are light and dark. The three realms are the past and the future.
Now, when Dazhong Xiangfu promoted the Dao Zang, the rich man Lin Shichang bribed the master and envoys were incorporated into the Dao Zang and settled in the Ming Dao Palace in Bozhou."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus said with a little pride: "The magic of this magic does not stop there. The art of killing and injuring appeared in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty. Protector Liu Futong used this method to bring his head back to life. Later, King Chahan Tiemu of Yingchuan
Er swept across the Central Plains, defeated the rebel army, and shocked the Red Turban armies of all walks of life. Zhu Yuanzhang in the south of the Yangtze River was even more frightened, and secretly exchanged letters with Chahan Timur, with repeated intentions."
"King Xiaoming noticed something was wrong, so he sent this method to the Shandong Red Scarf Army, and asked Mingjiao protectors Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng to pretend to rebel. The two acted in accordance with the law, and when King Yingchuan led the troops to recruit them, they came to kill them with swords.
The ax did not hurt him, and it stabbed Chahan Timur to death and walked away."
Jiang Wen was dumbfounded. This period of history was far from what he knew.
The history books only say that in the 22nd year of Zhizheng (1362), the Yuan army besieged Yidu, Shandong for several months. After Tian and Wang pretended to surrender, they assassinated Chahan Timur who entered the camp alone in Yidu, and then the Yuan court
After breaking the Tianzhu, he could no longer reverse the defeat. After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "There is no one in the world!" and then refused to accept the Yuan Dynasty's offer.
But the doubtful point in this period of history is that Chahan Timur is the prototype of King Ruyang in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword". Without the help of Zhao Min, he almost put down the rebellion. A wise general like him who came from the imperial examination and has experienced many battles, it stands to reason that
There was no way he would choose to enter the camp alone, especially if it was a group of untamed rebels who had just surrendered.
Now after the explanation from the Holy Mother of Red Lotus, Jiang Wen felt that it was a lot more reasonable. The two people should have used the unparalleled weapon to kill the palace guards. This is in line with the common sense of assassination and attacking them unprepared.
But thinking about which one was more reasonable, Jiang Wen was a little undecided for a while.
"Really or not? I don't have enough education, so please don't lie to me?"
Jiang Wen was still a little skeptical.
"Taoist Priest, there is no need to doubt that the world is unaware that it is nothing but the handiwork of that thief Zhu Yuanzhang. Another thing is that the Holy Fire Kung Fu learned by Our Lady of the Red Lotus in the past generations has no words at all. It relies on this method and the ghost of King Xiao Ming in the sarcophagus.
Meng taught me that this will never be cut off."
As the gauze slowly swayed, Jiang Wen shuddered and looked around suspiciously, always feeling that there were eyes quietly peering at his back in the dark corners.
At this time, the only candle left in the dark stone room moved without any wind, and the flame slowly floated towards the corner where the stone coffin was located.
Jiang Wen was originally a little confused about the pavilion built in this mausoleum, and he was not sure why there was a stone bed and stone table in the tomb. Now it is said that the White Lotus Sect deliberately set up a secret room in this tomb to use it to communicate with Prince Xiao Ming.
Communicate with ghosts and practice the holy fire magic in religion...
"Okay, okay, the topic of the underworld is over."
The Holy Mother of Red Lotus looked at Jiang Wen strangely, wondering how this Taoist priest who was not afraid of ghosts in Sanliting could act so creepy.
Jiang Wen hugged his arms and said to her: "I know you won't understand, and I can't explain it clearly to you. But you have to know that the way I just woke you up, I used the Wudang Nine Yang Kung Fu - this matter is more and more serious.
The more I think something is wrong, I'd better go do something else first..."
Jiang Wen walked outside the door and found that Goddess Liu Ding was still guarding the waterside pavilion outside the secret room. He said to them: "Take care of your holy mother, I should go to work."
The youngest goddess Liu Ding could not help but ask one more question: "Taoist Priest, where are you going? Do you know where the mastermind behind the scenes is?"
"I don't know. But the whereabouts of the Mani Orb are unknown now. I have already guessed that their next plan will be the imperial palace. Instead of working hard to find the culprit, it is better to go to the place where he may appear and use my own method to look like
Just like tonight, force him to show his flaws."
"Then please be careful on the way, Daochang. The officers and soldiers outside have withdrawn just now. It should be okay to go out."
"What? You said the Qing troops withdrew?"
Jiang Wen put away the ancient bronze sword, checked his clothes again, and suddenly said with confidence.
"Okay! Then they must have concentrated their forces to find the Geng family."
"In Fuzhou City today, all the Geng family forces have retreated. Only the ancient temple in Huzhong beside the West Lake is still firmly in their control. Unless Monk Buxiu loses his mind and goes crazy and plans to attack Prince Geng's Mansion, their target must be at West Lake outside the city.
