Chapter 1195: The concierges are all Heavenly Spirit Herbs. Is this the Heavenly Master?
"This is the Tianshi Mansion?"
A group of stocky men came not far outside the mansion. The leader had dark skin and began to observe with sharp eyes, comparing them with the dignitaries in the capital he had seen during this period.
This man's name is Mao Haifeng, also known as Wang Shuang, and he is Wang Zhi's adopted son.
My real name is Mao Lie. He was born in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture. His father was a prison officer in the county government. He originally came from a good family. Unfortunately, his father was greedy for smuggling and spent a lot of money, but was robbed by Japanese pirates. In order to seek help, he had to give his son to
Wang Zhi, the most powerful smuggler at that time.
Mao Lie was good at using firearms and soon gained the attention of Wang Zhi, who adopted him as his adopted son and named him Wang Chuan.
The reason why it is Wang instead of Wang is because Wang Zhi's original surname was Wang, and Wang Zhi used the pseudonym of his mother's surname. Therefore, when he was in the Japanese country, the famous generals mostly called him Wang Zhi, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was covered up.
As for Mao Lie, after he became the captain of a ship, he called himself "Haifeng", so he took the name Mao Haifeng.
Historically, when Hu Zongxian recruited Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng was a negotiator on Wang Zhi's side. After Wang Zhi was trapped and executed, he luckily broke out and returned to the sea. In order to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty, he frequently raided coastal areas and became the new leader of Japanese pirates.
Now in this world, due to various concerns, both sides did not complete the matter. Wang Zhi defeated the Ming navy overseas. He could have killed them all, but under the mediation of Li Yan, he took the initiative to let him go and then ordered Mao Haifeng to come.
Negotiate, hoping to get a job offer.
Mao Haifeng was also very concerned about this matter. He arrived in Beijing very early and visited countless officials and dignitaries. As a result, a certain later Taoist doctor became a heavenly master and became the general religious minister, but he still found nothing.
It's also about method.
Wang Zhixiong dominated the sea area, but his level was not high after all. He did not know that the power of the Ming Dynasty was actually firmly in the hands of Jiajing. He only knew that the emperor practiced Taoism and major political affairs were supervised by the cabinet and the Secretary of Ceremony.
The cabinet was not easy to please, so Mao Haifeng targeted the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The result was beyond doubt. The eunuch was not only extremely greedy, but also had no credibility. After paying a lot of unjust money, he finally contacted Bingbi eunuch Yang Jinshui. As a result, the other party sent a godson, asked a few words, and then sent him away.
.
In desperation, Mao Haifeng had no choice but to come over.
"Before leaving, my father reminded me not to come to this Divine Doctor Li unless it is absolutely necessary. This person is extremely powerful. Once he holds a high position in the Ming Dynasty and gets involved in this matter, we will not be able to take advantage..."
"But if there is really no other way, asking this person is the most likely to solve the problem..."
"Is that true? Why is this mansion so deserted?"
However, Mao Haifeng experienced continuous obstacles during this period, and his judgment of Wang Zhi was shaken. After observing the Tianshi Mansion for two quarters of an hour, he found that the front door was deserted and there were no guests visiting, and he was even more disappointed.
If this new Celestial Master was really powerful, his threshold would have been breached by officials at all levels. For example, in the other courtyard of the small pavilion, Yan Shifan, there would always be guests' carriages waiting for him.
In the current situation, it is obvious that life is indifferent. Is it possible that idle clouds and wild cranes are in name only and have no power at all?
"It doesn't matter, it's here now!"
Mao Haifeng was so disheartened that he wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about how many brothers there were on the island who were looking forward to clearing the identity of the thief, he finally took a deep breath, carried the prepared gifts, and came to the balcony under the eaves. At the concierge, look inside.
This move is a bit rude, mainly because compared to other mansions, there are servants waiting outside to greet guests at all times. Even if there are servants patrolling at night, the concierge here seems to be alone and still taking a nap in the house.
But when Mao Haifeng peeked his head, he saw a man with a sturdy back and a childish face. He could not tell whether he was a child or a man. He opened his eyes instantly and looked over with shining eyes: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Mao Haifeng clasped his fists: "I'd like to inform you that Wang Chun, the adopted son of maritime merchant Wang Zhi, wants to see Master Li!"
The porter looked at it and said, "I'm leaving without an invitation. If you have any letters, you can leave them and I'll give them to you!"
Mao Haifeng did bring Wang Zhi's letter, but he did not dare to hand it over to this eccentric concierge: "I wonder if Tianshi Li is here? I hope to report to him in person!"
The concierge yawned: "My master never sees strangers. Yan... Yan Ge is always the same when he comes. It's hard for you to meet him in person."
Mao Haifeng was shocked. This was too crazy. He felt like he even wanted to call Yan Song by his name. Was it the words and deeds of Master Li, or was it the concierge who didn't know what he was talking about?
But the experience of being unable to find anyone in the capital made him more aware of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Even if he felt that this mere porter was simply seeking death, he hurriedly presented the gift and said with a smile: "Yes! Yes! But so am I. I am entrusted by the adults in the family, and I hope that my brother will be accommodating... I don’t know your surname?"
The concierge accepted the gift, his expression was not greedy, but more curious: "My name is 'Nine Leaves'."
Mao Haifeng secretly wondered, what kind of servant's name is this?
Then I saw this person touching the outside of the box, lost interest, and stuffed it back: "It's gold and silver again, boring and boring, give it back to you!"
"It's so greedy that a mere janitor can't even be satisfied with gold and silver?"
Mao Haifeng was feeling troubled when the sound of horse hooves came. Soon a man came to the door of the house and turned over. It was a strange-looking and bohemian scribe. As he glanced around, he said softly: "You are the characteristics of being at sea for a long time. Wang Zhi’s person?”
Mao Haifeng's heart trembled, and he stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Wang Shuang has met Mr. Wang. Do you know his surname?"
The scribe said: "Xu Wei has a long character, you are from Zhejiang, have you heard of me?"
Mao Haifeng's expression changed slightly: "It turned out to be Mr. Qingteng. He made suggestions for Governor Hu and his clever calculations are very admirable to me. How could you not know?"
"Is Captain Wufeng hating me to death?"
The scribe laughed. He was none other than Xu Wei, a talented man with a wealth of knowledge. He went to sea with the army when he was in Hangzhou, and after returning, he also participated in the frontline fight against the Japanese.
Nowadays, Hu Zongxian's status is becoming more and more prominent. He has been promoted to the position of censor of Youqiandu and governor of Zhejiang. Xu Wei has also been invited to serve as the bureau chief of the shogunate. He has repeatedly provided suggestions, causing Wang Zhi's fleet to suffer a big blow.
Wang Zhi's letter not long ago explained this matter in detail. He originally looked down upon the imperial navy, but recently he has clearly felt the pressure under the training of Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Xu Wei and other talents.
.
And Xu Wei came here because there was another turmoil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He went to the capital to pay a visit to his real backer. At this time, he bowed his hands to Jiuye and said: "This person is indeed important and is related to the overall situation of the southeast. Senior, shall I lead them in?"
"The master has given orders. Mr. Xu is here on important matters. Please come in!"
Jiuye nodded easily, returned to the room, closed his eyes again, and entered into practice.
Xu Wei bowed respectfully again before entering the Tianshi Mansion.
Mao Haifeng was puzzled at first, and then thought he had guessed: "Is this person a relative of a powerful person in Beijing?"
Of course he didn't ask, but Xu Wei was so sharp. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he guessed the psychological activities of the pirate's adopted son, and laughed secretly: "I really don't know what to do, I'm counting on this senior to teach me the method of cultivating immortals."
Woolen cloth!"
But when he thought about it, he was shocked when he learned the origin of this person yesterday. He really didn't blame the other person.
After all, who would have thought that the concierges are all heavenly spiritual grasses? Is this the Heavenly Master?
Mao Haifeng did not sigh like Xu Wei. He walked behind him, walked through the front yard, and headed towards the hall. What he saw along the way made him feel awe.
In ancient times, every item of clothing, food, housing and transportation reflected a strict hierarchy.
In the Ming Dynasty, in the 26th year of Hongwu's reign, officials made custom-made houses. They were not allowed to build houses with hills and corners, double eaves, heavy rafters, or caissons. However, buildings with double eaves were not allowed.
Among them, the number of rooms and interior decoration are specific. For example, the residences of first- and second-grade officials must have "five halls with nine frames, roof ridges decorated with tiles, beams, pillars, dougongs, eaves decorated with green and green eaves, and three doors."
, five frames, green oil, animal-faced tin rings"; the third- to fifth-rank mansions have "five halls, seven frames, roof ridges decorated with tiles and beasts, beams, pillars, and eaves decorated with green and green paintings"...
As for the common people's houses, they only have three rooms and five frames. They are not allowed to use Dougong or colorful decorations.
Of course, rules are always rules. It has been nearly two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Many rules in the Hongwu period have long been followed by very few people. Let alone the wealthy merchants among the common people, they have already had red walls and green tiles, painted buildings and withered beams.
Even the official residences in Beijing are full of violations.
The Dazhenren's mansion was naturally built by the Ministry of Works in a grand and majestic manner. Mao Haifeng secretly compared the mansions of powerful people he had entered before and felt that there was no comparison at all.
Realizing that Mao Haifeng's observation of regulations was not just about luxury, Xu Wei nodded and said: "I have some knowledge. I must have read a book. It's a pity to follow Wang Zhi..."
Mao Haifeng was furious and said in a deep voice: "Captain Wufeng is my adoptive father. I hope Mr. Qingteng will respect him!"
Xu Wei has a weird temper. He is not angry when he is rebuffed. Instead, he smiles: "He is a loyal man. I made a mistake. It's a pity that if he doesn't atone for his sins, his whole family will be wiped out and he will be disgraced for future generations!"
Mao Haifeng clenched his fists: "My lord has long wanted to serve the imperial court, but no one in Beijing is willing to tell His Majesty that there is no hope of serving the country!"
"The powerful people in the capital are very greedy, and you don't have any connections. How can you go up to heaven to listen?"
Xu Wei failed in the imperial examination and thought he was talented. He actually looked down upon the court officials. After his evaluation, he said curiously: "I remember it was Li Tianshi who ordered Wang Zhi to withdraw his troops. Why didn't you come here earlier to pay a visit?"
Mao Haifeng was a little embarrassed. It was difficult to say that Wang Zhi was afraid of Li Tianshi's ability, so he asked him to find someone else. Just when he was about to find an excuse, he suddenly stopped in his step: "Huh?"
Because the yard in front suddenly became lively, with people coming in and out, and books were still being carried.
Didn't the concierge Jiuye just say that Li Tianshi didn't see any guests? Why are there so many people in the house?
Xu Wei was not different and explained: "They come from major medical clinics in the capital and are not guests of Tianshi Li."
Mao Haifeng also heard that Li Tianshi was a doctor, and he was a miraculous doctor who could cure the father-in-law of the land. He thought: "Are they here to learn from him?"
Xu Wei shook his head, with admiration in his tone: "It's not about teaching medical skills, but about writing a medical book."
Mao Haifeng took a few steps forward and saw "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Famous Doctors", "Lei Gong Pao Zhi Lun", "Tang Materia Medica" and so on from the cover. Only then did he realize that he was going to compile a medical work of the Ming Dynasty.
.
Mao Haifeng also had some characteristics of a scholar at heart. He had an instinctive yearning for writing books and published works, so he carefully avoided them and did not dare to disturb those doctors who were concentrating on their work.
Xu Wei took him to the side hall and sat down. Knowing that the servant in the house was either the concierge or the extremely good-smelling doll, he took tea leaves to make tea himself, and also brought a cup to Mao Haifeng: "Hou is here, right?"
, Tianshi Li will see you when he comes back."
"Thank you sir!"
Mao Haifeng thanked him and saw that Xu Wei had a different temperament from ordinary people. He gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Xu is a good friend of Tianshi Li. I wonder if you can say a few kind words for me?"
Xu Wei sipped the tea and said leisurely: "The choice made by Tianshi Li cannot be shaken by outsiders. If he is willing to help you, I have to ask. If he is not willing, my words will not count."
Mao Haifeng asked again: "Then what are Tianshi Li's preferences?"
Xu Wei laughed: "You don't have to think about that. He will definitely look down on the gift. If he helps you, he will also let you serve the country well."
"Yes, yes!"
Mao Haifeng smiled apologetically, unwilling to listen to these lies, and simply asked: "I wonder where Tianshi Li is now?"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "I can't be sure, but if the prediction is correct, the previous Heavenly Master Tao Zhongwen should be killed here!"
…
Jin Yiwei ordered him to be imprisoned.
Princess Wan Sheng and Luang Po knelt on the ground, and the executioner stood behind them.
In addition to Lu Bing, the supervisors of the executioners, Li Yan and Lu Fang were also present.
Lu Bing's eyes showed the joy of having his hatred repaid, Lu Fang's eyes showed disgust and hatred, and Li Yan's eyes showed peace and determination.
In his opinion, the human confrontation with this mother and daughter has ended, and all that is left is to draw conclusions and draw lessons from the past.
Compared with the normal world where you can become an immortal and achieve enlightenment through step-by-step practice, in today's dirty and weird world, you must take the initiative to find the mysteries and reveal the truth, so that you can avoid being manipulated involuntarily.
Princess Wan Sheng and Long Po didn't know that as chess pieces, they acted as warnings in each other's eyes. Looking at this being who even wanted to show courtesy to the Queen Mother, there was no hatred anymore, only fear.
Princess Wan Sheng even took the initiative to show her kindness: "Master Li, please accept my memory aura. It contains the location of the Nine-Headed Prince Consort, the entanglement with the Yamata-no-Orochi, and the guard of the Japanese practice world. I hope my husband can get rid of his shackles and help me."
Heavenly Master, destroy the Japanese!"
Li Yan nodded: "I welcome those who abandon darkness and turn to the light, don't worry!"
Princess Wan Sheng raised her mouth with an ugly expression. After a brief exchange, Lu Bing shouted loudly: "Execution!"
Zhu San, who was good at spells, stepped forward, checked the ghost-headed sword held by the executioner for the last time, and backed away.
When the sword with the strong smell of blood behind her was raised high, Princess Halloween trembled slightly.
She originally thought that with her experience in this life, she would not be afraid of death, but when the critical moment came, she still could not overcome this instinct of a living being.
But as the blade fell and blood spurted out, a head still fell to the ground. The former leader of the Taoist sect and the most respected Heavenly Master died here without incident.
Lu Bing looked at this scene and murmured: "Little Thirteen's revenge has finally been avenged!"
Long Po on the other side also closed his eyes tightly, forcing himself to think about the mission entrusted by the Queen Mother, but he almost fell to the ground softly.
But her head flew out and her body fell, but it was a dragon corpse with dried up energy and blood, which quickly turned into fly ash and scattered away.
If the world were normal, with the life span of Long Po, he would have died long ago, and his bones would hardly survive. Now he is back to his proper state.
The key is that an air mass visible to the naked eye also rises, and there seems to be a golden dragon swimming inside, flying towards the direction of Xiyuan.
Lu Fang was relieved and smiled when she saw it: "The true dragon's energy can't wait to return to the body of the master Long live the Lord. Our family can return to life!"
"Send it to Eunuch Lu!"
Li Yan and Lu Bing sent him out of prison, and the latter suddenly asked in a low voice: "What should I do with Mr. Tao?"
Li Yan said: "Tao Shi'en is willing to fight for a chance of survival for the family. He will take the underworld ticket to the underworld. He has not returned yet, so he will give Tao a chance to forgive."
Lu Bing frowned: "Then what if he never comes back?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "If you wait another half a year, he should return. If he is really sacrificed, news will come back from the underworld. Then we will decide how to deal with it."
"good!"
Lu Bing was by no means a kind person. He looked at the Buddha without looking at the monk's face. He also thought about the Japanese pirates: "Now that there are nine-headed insects, can we attack the Japanese country?"
Li Yan shook his head slightly: "The nine-headed worm alone is not enough..."
He did not underestimate the Japanese country, because the other country also had a background.
The Wusheng Old Mother behind the White Lotus Sect has a relationship with the heaven, while the three artifacts of the Japanese Kingdom have collusion with the underworld.
Relating to the secular aspect, the White Lotus Sect and the Mongols, the Japanese and the Japanese pirates are exactly the northern captives and the southern Japanese of the Ming Dynasty.
Just solve it together.
Li Yan also had this consideration in his willingness to take the position of Heavenly Master. In this position, he could not only compile a more complete "Compendium of Materia Medica", but also make good use of the power of the Ming Dynasty.
The quest for Buddhist scriptures in the West begins with Li Shimin’s night trip to the underworld. Mythology and secularity are often inseparable.
Lu Bing was determined to make great achievements, and he wanted to be the leader of the Jinyi Guards who would go down in history. He asked many questions and mentioned one thing: "Today, an official proposed to reopen the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to raise military supplies for the anti-Japanese front line. Mr.
What do you think?"
Li Yandao: "What does the cabinet think?"
Lu Bing's eyes moved: "We are discussing."
Li Yandan said calmly: "It's a good thing, but it's a pity."
Lu Bing thought of Yan Dang's actions and secretly sighed: "Yes, it's a pity..."
After discussing for a while, the two separated and Li Yan returned to the mansion.
He had a vague feeling that there would be visitors at his house today.
Sure enough, Xu Wei led Mao Haifeng out to see the gift. This godson of Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates in history, took out the letter with unusual respect and presented it with both hands: "This is a letter from my family. I hope Tianshi will sign it personally!"
As soon as Li Yan took it, he heard the sound of chains that hadn't been heard for a long time.
Under the excited gaze of Xu Wei and the horrified gaze of Mao Haifeng, the dead man rose from the ground and presented the letter in front of him with both hands.
