Emperor Wanli thought: "What if he is pretending to defect? It is not impossible, right? Moreover, Tokugawa Ieyasu claimed to be an internal correspondent, and he wanted to use our country's power in his words. I am afraid that once he accepts it, he will fall into his trap
, I will lend him troops and luck in the future, just to make wedding clothes."
"Besides, I also learned from the battle reports on the Korean battlefield that when Tokugawa Ieyasu was stationed at Ulsan Castle, he fought to the death and was seriously injured before leaving. For such a person, after returning to his home country, Japan's Guanbai did not liquidate him.
, maybe we will reuse him, what reason does he have for serving as our domestic collaborator?"
"This matter about the Kobayakawa family, I have heard of Hideaki Kobayakawa's name, but it is just a stigma due to rebellion. Maybe the Kobayakawa family came here just to counteract their domestic influence in our country, and in turn cleanse their reputation in Japan.
What a shame."
The elders of the three pavilions looked at each other, and they had different opinions from Emperor Wanli. When discussing issues, there usually cannot be four people, so a fifth person was needed to make the decision. All four people turned to Zhang Tianshi, who thought for a while and said:
"The matter of Tokugawa Ieyasu's internal response might have something to do with my senior brother."
"Oh? In the battle report of the Battle of Ulsan, he didn't seem to appear. It seemed that he was fighting another Japanese Buddhist nun... The battle report said that he killed a person named 'Eight Hundred Bhikshunis'. I'm sorry
This person doesn't understand." Emperor Wanli asked confused.
"It's just because they didn't show up that it matters." Tianshi Zhang twisted his beard and smiled. "As for the eight hundred bhikshunis, I know that they are also legendary Buddhist nuns in Japan. Their cultivation level should be very high, but it seems
It was very easy to be killed by my senior brother."
"In that case, let's use the messenger talisman to ask, otherwise we won't be able to find him."
Emperor Wanli frowned. It was so convenient to communicate after having the communication talisman. It also showed the danger of this thing. The world is far away from the sea and the one talisman can transmit messages without even needing any communication medium.
But there are also flaws. Just like now, Ji Xiang can't find anyone because Ji Xiang doesn't have a messenger talisman on him, so he can only notify the people around him. However, North Korea also has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and there are dozens of strongholds stationed by the Ming army.
, who knows where Ji Xiang will appear and who to contact.
"It should be possible to find it. His Majesty's recall order was sent to all parts of North Korea. Those monks should already know about it and will set off to return soon. My grandson should also be in the same place with him...
"
Zhang Tianshi said that his grandson and Ji Xiang should be staying together. After the last order was passed, his grandson should start looking for Ji Xiang. If Ji Xiang comes back directly without saying hello to those people, then he should also come back.
Shuntian once, so I am not afraid of not finding his people.
Emperor Wanli asked Tian Yi to make contact, and at the same time looked at Matteo Ricci:
"Bishop Li, this time, the Kobayakawa family and others led by Father Tomoe have to make a trip to deal with this matter."
Emperor Wanli thought for a while and thought that he still agreed to allow this group of people to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but they would have to guard it with soldiers and horses for a short period of time. As for Ba Fanji, he would leave it to Matteo Ricci to take over. When this person came back, he
It happens to be directly enclosed in the church next to Dongyue Temple, so don't go anywhere.
Of course, what Emperor Wanli said was "stay in the Catholic Church and wait for rewards."
It’s just a matter of waiting, but I don’t know how long it will take!
On the other side, Tian Yi had finished communicating with the North Korean side using the messenger talisman, and followed him to the side of Emperor Wanli. After hearing this, Emperor Wanli looked happy, nodded frequently, indicating that he understood, and then said:
"Go, Xuan Feng Menglong, Liu Mengyin, and Zhang Yaofang come to see you."
Tian Yi left, and Matteo Ricci also took the order and left in a hurry. When he went out, there were already people waiting in front of the door to join him. Not long after, two scholars and an envoy arrived at the cabinet. They first paid a courtesy to Emperor Wanli, and then
Emperor Wanli said:
"The Korean War is over. I am going to canonize a group of fallen generals as new gods. The three of you will write biographies or books about gods and monsters for these people. The faster you write, the better. After you finish writing, send it to the printing factory for printing.
Print it in large quantities and distribute it to Sunchon and nearby large cities, and distribute it to various post stations among the people."
"After the details are finished, I will give you detailed requirements. You all go back and prepare. First, formulate some ideas in your mind."
All three people accepted the order, but their thoughts were different.
Zhang Yaofang's thoughts were the most pure. He just thought that the little fairy brought him to Shuntian before and said he wanted to find some pen pals. Unexpectedly, one of them turned out to be the emperor of the dynasty. This scared him a lot, but he was able to get it right in one step.
Becoming a scribe beside the emperor seems to be a good way.
If you fail the imperial examination and go straight to the back door, will you die?
It's just that they haven't had their own jobs for a long time. That Liu Mengyin ghostwrote for the emperor, and that Feng Menglong spent every day in the scripture library, just doing nothing, grinding or amusing himself with the other two, just like a worthless follower.
, this time I finally had the time to show off my talents. Although I was co-writing a book, I could still work for the emperor and was one of the named ones. This was enough to bring glory to my face.
When writing a book, if you add some personal stuff into it, if it gets appreciated, won't it skyrocket?
Zhang Yaofang was thinking about how to do a good job for the emperor, seek an official career for himself, and get ahead, but at this moment, the aura of aloofness in him that was already indifferent began to dissipate a little.
This was noticed by Zhang Tianshi.
After the three people left, Emperor Wanli smiled at Zhang Tianshi and said: "The North Pole Master really got in touch. Not only was he the one who instigated Tokugawa Ieyasu's rebellion, he also revealed that both Mori Terumoto and Kuroda Nagamasa were against each other, but the three of them were mutually exclusive.
None of them know clearly that Tokugawa is on his own, and the two behind him are from the same faction, which is good. If there is only one internal agent, I'm afraid he will be led by the nose in the future."
"Not only that, Changbai Mountain actually has a magical skill that can fabricate gods...!"
Emperor Wanli took a few deep breaths: "Of course, the conditions are more stringent. I am also going to test this method first... Teaching three people to write books is just to make Haoran righteous and combine the wishes and incense of all people, so as to
It’s just one step in completing the fabrication of the gods.”
"This ability seems to be almost the same as the ability of "The Collection of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit"? Or even worse?"
After listening to this, Zhang Tianshi first expressed his complete surprise at asking for such a spell.
"There is actually such a method in the world... to fabricate gods? This is not something that can be done easily. There is no country in Changbai Mountain, how can you fabricate gods?"
Emperor Wanli said that he would give it up first, but Zhang Tianshi did not ask further questions, but gave a conclusion about the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" just now and the level of the art of fabricating gods. He laughed and shook his head:
"Your Majesty is wrong. The collection of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit should be more powerful than this method of fabricating gods!"
"No matter how many steps there are to fabricate the gods, it is not an easy task from the point of view of the fact that it requires the wishes of all people. Although the gods are powerful, the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Ji can continuously create monsters just by relying on chaotic wishes.
, that is to say, as long as the human heart still exists, the demons in the books will be immortal."
"As for the ability of "The Collection of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit", we can only infer it based on the information obtained on the battlefield. Even my senior brother has not obtained this sacred book, and it can be guarded by Japan.
How can something be on the same level as the magic in Changbai Mountain?"
"That is the magic of the Tang Dynasty after all."
Emperor Wanli nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Then what do you think of the three talents?"
"I think you look strange."
Zhang Tianshi shook his head again and said: "Zhang Yaofang is devoted to pursuing fame, and his aura of awe has gradually declined, and he is now as good as the three pavilion elders."
As soon as these words came out, Sange Lao suddenly had a look of shame on his face, but they didn't know how the aura of awe-inspiring appeared. They just shook their heads and sighed in confusion: "Can't you read the books of sages but you can't read the aura of awe-inspiring?"
"That's not true. A few decades ago, Tang Shunzhi and Wang Yangming also read the books of saints and sages, and they were equally awe-inspiring. It can only be said that the three pavilion elders did not read it well. They only remembered it in their eyes and did not read it.
Take it to your heart.”
Zhang Tianshi smiled teasingly, and then commented:
"Although the other two people, Feng Menglong and Liu Mengyin, also agreed to His Majesty's request, the aura of awe in them has not dissipated and is still strong. This reflects from the side what they are thinking in their hearts and their own
The realm of Confucianism and Taoism achieved."
"This Liu Mengyin is a North Korean official. Although he is now with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the incident with Old Lei Xuan cast a heavy shadow on him, so he stays in the Forbidden City now more for stability.
Not seeking any false reputation."
"And Feng Menglong is even more different from Liu Mengyin... After all, this guy has experienced more. He is very interested in things about gods and ghosts, but has little interest in being an official. He has found his own Confucianism and Taoism.
There will definitely be great things to do in the future.”
"So, it's not that you can't read the truth or the aura of awe-inspiring people when you read the books of sages. It's because you haven't stepped out of your own Confucianism. I'm afraid the word "aoran" is not a simple two characters in the book. You can understand it just by looking at it.
of."
Emperor Wanli also shook his head at this time: "Let's take a look at the results of the three of them writing this book."
...........
In the land of North Korea, the major repairmen received the transfer order and embarked on their way back to Beijing. However, Ji Xiang was once again separated from the main force because he had something to do.
In today's affairs in North Korea, there is the demon god Dahuangluo who is in charge. If anything happens, he can perform sacrifices and communicate. He is the god's master, and he has fragments of the law on his body. He can sense Dahuangluo's whereabouts. There is a strong connection between the dark and the dark.
Ji Xiang lowered his head and wandered around the land of Liaodong. After about two days, Ji Xiang's expression looked extremely strange.
"What's going on? Not to mention the White Lotus Sect, there aren't even some folk religions anymore?"
Liaodong is a bitterly cold land with a small population. The White Lotus Sect aims to preach in places with a large number of people. Of course, those places either have food or money, but Liaodong has neither money nor food. The power of the White Lotus Sect is in
This place is not big, but there are some folk religions here, and there are also two or three big cats and kittens, but now these religions are gone.
It's like it evaporated out of thin air.
Ji Xiang came to a ruined temple. On the door of the temple, there were still the words "Jinchan Dajiao". A strong smell of white lotus came to his face, but the temple had been abandoned for a long time and there was nothing left.
With a wave of his hand and strong winds, piles of headless skeletons rolled out from under the broken walls.
Taking the heads without the need for corpses, considering that the White Lotus is not an army, but just a powerful cult organization, so the one who can destroy them and steal the heads of their followers must be a more evil cult, it seems like the Tatar grassland
Shamans have the custom of using human heads as utensils.
But the heads of the White Lotus Sect members... With the behavior of these soldiers, if they take their heads, can they add more enchantments?
"The land of the mountain god, come out and see it."
Ji Xiang used his spiritual power, and white smoke fell into the ground. Not long after, a skinny weasel was caught. Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment:
"Young Mr. Huang?"
Huang Pizi raised his head, with a confused look on his face, and bowed to Ji Xiang, saying that he was not a master, that was too flattering to him.
Earth temples also belong to the folk gods. Only the earth gods in specific places belong to the gods. Just like the city emperor, the city emperor of Shuntian Prefecture has the title of a god, which is not the same as the city emperor of your local county.
Huang Pizi told Ji Xiang that the people in this place had been killed for more than a year. At that time, the Jin Chan Sect was quite powerful here. There was a cicada demon who had practiced for five hundred years to support them, but that one
The cicada demon was later killed by a crazy man with a child who looked numb. It was not the madman who did the killing, but the child.
"The crazy man from Changbai Mountain didn't know his name. I just heard him calling the kid 'Shenkui'."
"There was also a big event in Changbai Mountain before. It is said that the commander of the Jianzhou Guard was killed, and then the city he was guarding was attacked by a man, and many of his descendants were killed. I looked like this madman
.”
Huangpizi Earth God knew everything and described the man's image vividly, but Ji Xiang's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. He had never heard of the name Shenkui.
Could it be that he is an immortal who has descended from mountains and rivers? Which heavenly palace sent him down? What is the purpose?
Just to kill the White Lotus Sect? That’s not true, right?
Listening to Ji Xiang's question, Huang Pizi shook his head and said: "No, that Shengui just killed them, not cut off their heads."
"This head was chopped off three months later by a monk from outside Liaodong when it was almost rotten. It looked like a Tatar."
Huang Pizi spoke so clearly that Ji Xiang was surprised: "You recognize him quite clearly."
"That's natural. Anyone who can make a living outside Shanhaiguan, let alone a human being, even a god, must have some discernment. The people from Changbai Mountain are from my family. They don't dare to do anything when they see me, and they will take a detour. So if I'm inside the pass,
Not to mention the people in the country, they will not cause trouble here, but the Tatars are different. They will tear down the temples when they see it, and knock off their heads when they see the statues. You say they are all shamans. Changbai Mountain and Tatars
