Chu Nanfeng said: "At that time, the Northern Han Dynasty invaded and it was an emergency period. It was reasonable for Elder Feng to mobilize like this. If someone in the court had not paid attention, it would have been difficult to detect Zhiku."
Jiang Qiubai nodded and smiled bitterly, "And if you want to know whether any of the people who were transferred by Elder Feng at that time have been reassigned, you only need to check the inspection documents to find out. With the wisdom and hard work, he sneaked in to check, but it was
easy……"
"In this case, it is impossible to find out from the inspection officials... those who are connected with Zhiku in the court." Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment, then thought for a moment, and then said: "Where is the Shenhu Camp usually stationed?
?Who can know its movements?"
"The imperial city's internal guards are composed of four guards: Guangwu, Xiongqi, Shenhu, and Longyong. Among them, Guangwu and Xiongqi are responsible for patrolling all palace gates, and Shenhu and Longyong are responsible for guarding various places in the palace.
, According to the control of these four guards, they do not guard the field for fighting, and they camp in the north of the inner city."
"But Emperor Taizu especially trusted the Shenhu Camp Guards, and took him with him during the Southern and Northern Wars. The people who served in the Shenhu Guard Camp were all personally selected by Emperor Taizu, so its personnel were four
There are at least three hundred people among the guards, but they set up camp next to the Sisi Yamen in front of the west hall."
Chu Nanfeng nodded and asked: "Now that the Tongbao Pavilion Arrow Guards and academy students have joined, the number has expanded to more than a thousand people...are they still staying next to the Si Yamen in front of the palace?"
"Exactly."
"Then do they still have the responsibility to serve as guardians?"
"Yes, since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, as long as the emperor has not left the capital, the Shenhu Guard and the Long Yong Guard will jointly guard the palace halls..."
"Do all the officials in the office in front of the palace know about the orders of the Shenhu Camp Guards?"
"No, Shenhu Camp is nominally under the command of the Palace Front Division, but only the emperor and his commanders can mobilize it. Even if Zhang Yongde is inspected in front of the palace, he has no right to mobilize. Originally, Jungui wanted his nephew Shang You to command
Shenhu Camp... After Master Shang's nephew was killed, he had to let Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, take charge of it."
"Then Junior Brother was ordered to mobilize the Shenhu Camp Guards who stayed in Beijing. Does Zhao Kuangyin know?"
"It is absolutely impossible to know. I received the message from senior brother and immediately made it clear to Jungui. After receiving Jungui's edict, I rushed back to Kaifeng with Master Mingwu..." Jiang Qiubai said for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said
: "Elder Weng and the others were attacked this time... Senior brother thinks Zhao Kuangyin is suspicious?"
Chu Nanfeng shook his head, "If Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know about it, this matter has nothing to do with him... The two or three hundred Shenhu camp guards left the capital, and there was some movement, and Jungui was in front of the formation. Officials from the DPRK and Central Government
Once I see them, I think I can guess where they are going.”
After a pause, he looked at Mingwu, "I once heard Abbot Wenyi say, 'The leaks are all connected' and the 'Pinglong recognition' are two great skills. The skills of looking at the weather are almost the same. If one party gets the upper hand,
If Zhiku hadn't read the memory of Captain Meng, could he have found out the location of the tomb in Yimen Mountain if he had set up a formation?"
Mingwu thought for a moment and said: "The young monk is fortunate to have followed the abbot master for the past two years, and he has a little understanding of these two magical powers... But based on what the young monk knows now, Zhiku should be able to do it."
"Different from the spiritual caves where the Dragon Veins and Great Fortune are located, they are in caves located in mountains and deep pools. Even if you can find the approximate place where the spiritual energy gathers, if you want to find the spiritual caves, you need to spy on the various earth veins.
Toward.”
"Using the magical powers of 'Leaking Through' and 'Pinglong Recognition', the spiritual energy in the earth veins leading to the spiritual cave can be covered up. If one party has the upper hand, the other party will have to explore the intricate earth veins one by one.
"The party that has the upper hand will lead some of the spiritual energy into the waste veins, which will lead the searcher astray... But when the spiritual acupoint recognizes its owner and the yin and yang weather corresponds, it will be protected by the heaven and earth spirits. At that time, even if it is a human being
It is found, but it cannot be taken."
"The Yimen Mountain Burial Tomb Crypt is not like the Dragon Vein Dayun Ling Cave, where thousands of earth veins gather spiritual energy. It is just a place where a few ordinary earth veins gather energy. Even if there is a 'leak all through','
Pinglong recognizes that magical powers and magic can cover it up, and if you are intentional, you can easily find it with the young monk's 'Heavenly Eyes' skill..."
"I was negligent. Not only did I not ask Abbot Wenyi for the key to this, but I asked him to find the exact location of the Wei Mansion's burial mound. When I found Mr. Li, I never thought of this... Abbot Wenyi was not in trouble at the time. Thinking about it,
It’s just like what the master has concluded here.”
Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "But if that's the case, I have an idea that might be able to lure out the traitor, and also make Zhiku and the others show up."
"What method?" Jiang Qiubai asked.
"The Divine Tiger Guards serve the emperor personally. In the eyes of outsiders, whenever the emperor has important matters or secret matters, the Divine Tiger Guards will be sent to do it. If you can find a nearby mountain range to bury in a tomb, then let Wu
, Master Hua brought the Shenhu Guards to protect him, thinking that it would attract the attention of the traitor and notify Zhiku..."
"At that time, Senior Mu, Master Mingwu and I will be lurking in secret. With the combined power of Wu and Master Hua, we will be able to compete with Zhiku. By then, the direct archery guards who are in the Shenhu camp... should also find out.
The spy who leaked information in the camp."
Jiang Qiubai nodded, "From the deaths of Elder Liu and Junior Brother Zhao to the attack on Elder Weng and the others, everything is related to the Shenhu Camp Guards. Although, as the senior brother said, the actions of their large group are easy for others to know.
, but judging from Zhiku Xun’s trip to Lingxiu Village, there must be a spy among the camp guards. Senior brother, this plan is very good..."
Chu Nanfeng looked at Mingwu, "Master, can you use your 'clairvoyance' magical power to find a qi-gathering cave and create an illusion?"
Mingwu shook his head, chanted the Buddha's name, and said: "The earth veins where Mr. Zhu was buried in the tomb should be connected with the dragon veins... It is not difficult for the young monk to find a cave in the mountain to gather energy, but he cannot
If you want to know whether the earth veins are connected to the dragon veins, you will probably be discovered by Zhiku."
Chu Nanfeng knew that Ming Ming's words were justified, so after hearing the words, he said: "Does Master Wen Yi know how to identify the direction of the earth's atmosphere in the mountains?"
"Amitabha, Master Abbot should be able to do it."
Chu Nanfeng nodded and turned to Jiang Qiubai, "Did Jun Gui say when he would return to Kaifeng?"
Jiang Qiubai pondered for a moment, "The city of Shouzhou is about to be captured. Jungui once said that he would return to Kaifeng after arranging the defense arrangements for Shouzhou... If my prediction is correct, it will be around midsummer."
"Okay, the Shenhu Camp Guards will probably accompany him back to the capital at that time. Junior brother can tell Jungui about this plan. At that time, a hundred camp guards will be selected to follow the two masters Wu and Hua." Chu Nanfeng said.
Said: "I will go find Master Wen Yi tomorrow to help me and explore the layout of the Qi Gathering Crypt that is connected to the dragon veins."
…
At midnight on April 28th, in the Zhaozhai Buddhist Hall, Mrs. Zhao Du, who was chanting sutras and worshiping the Buddha with her eyes closed, suddenly heard a call from behind her. She turned around and saw Zhiku appearing alone at the door of the Buddhist hall.
After the two greeted each other, Zhiku sat cross-legged on the futon, looked at Zhao Du and said, "Did Madam find any clues in the past month?"
Zhao Du hesitated for a moment, "My son Yuan Lang also made a detailed investigation of Mr. Jiang's whereabouts after the death of Emperor Taizu. During Mr. Jiang's expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty with the current emperor, only when his wife caught a cold
Never went to court..."
"Mrs. Jiang, how many days will the cold last?"
"Two days. But later, when I was playing matchmaker with Mr. Jiang, I had a chat with Mrs. Jiang... But I found out that they were very much in love with each other. If Mrs. Jiang felt a little unwell, Mr. Jiang would definitely tell her.
Take care of her."
"As Madam said, Mr. Jiang doesn't have time to bury Emperor Taizu in his tomb?"
"I don't dare to make any judgments. If there is another tomb in the distance... Master Jiang probably doesn't have time."
Zhiku spoke in silence for a moment, then turned the rosary beads in his hand and said slowly: "The old monk also knows Madam's painstaking efforts not to do anything to Lord Jiang..."
Zhao Du was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."
"It's not because the old monk is considerate of Madam, but it's actually because the time has not come yet." Zhiku shook his head, looked at Zhao Du with a look of surprise on his face, and smiled faintly, "Madam, you remember what the old monk said... you must stay in the spiritual cave.
Is there an earth vein in Chushuo that leads to Shuanglong Pond?"
"I remember what the master once said."
"Due to the coming of the calamity, only people like Emperor Yingjie, who has two fates, can recognize the owner of the spiritual acupoint. However, God's will, if the emperor Yingjie does not eliminate the resentment of the calamity, he will not be able to recognize the spiritual acupoint.
Lord, the spiritual cave became ownerless, so the old monk had the opportunity to make plans."
"But it is not easy to connect a vein to the spiritual acupoint. It can only be done when the weather of the spiritual acupoint is less disturbed... That's why the old monk stayed with his wife, right?
Mr. Jiang takes action,"
Zhao Du was stunned, and then heard Zhi say bitterly: "But things have changed now, and if we delay it any longer, the plan may be in vain..."
Zhao Du was suddenly shocked, "Master, what can you say?"
"The merits and auspiciousness of Emperor Taizu returned to the great fortune of the Dragon Vein, and the path of calamity appeared. The old monk was focused on peeling off the grievances and finding the protector, but he paid no attention to the reduction of grievances. Yesterday, he had no intention of using his magical power to examine the tribulations carefully.
The movement of resentment is found to be flowing into the Dragon Vein Great Luck Spirit Pond..."
Zhao Dushi was shocked again, "Why is this?"
"The old monk was negligent for a moment. He only thought that the burial tomb in Yimen Mountain only had the effect of making Emperor Taizu's auspiciousness cover up the calamity, but that there were other burial tombs that prevented the old monk from stripping away his resentment..."
Zhi Ku He Shi said: "Amitabha, sin, sin. I don't know if it is possible to peel off the grievances. This is also the function of the Yimen Mountain burial mound. But there is another burial mound that secretly dissolves the grievances into the aura of dragon veins and great luck."
"And the speed at which it dissolves into the aura of great luck is even faster than the Emperor Ying Jie's efforts to resolve his grievances. But I guess it won't take five or six years for the grievances of Jie Dao to be gone..."
"What will be the consequences?"
"If it is not possible to insert a vein to connect it to the Shuanglong Pond when the weather sensitivity of the spiritual cave is at its weakest, then even if the protector fails to rob the emperor, no matter who inherits the great fortune of the Dragon Vein in the future, he will use my Buddha
Dafa is in trouble."
"What if it is impossible to connect the spiritual acupoint?" Zhao Du was surprised for a moment, "Listen to the master's tone, there are other burial tombs that will not only dissolve the resentment into the dragon's veins... but also make it impossible for the master to connect the spiritual acupoint with the Shuanglong Pond?"
Zhiku nodded, "But the burial tomb in Yimen Mountain not only blocked the return of Emperor Taizu's merits and auspiciousness, but also prevented the grievances from being peeled away... The old monk guessed that other burial tombs would also have dual functions."
Zhao Du's face suddenly darkened, and he spoke quietly for a moment, then said: "Now the resentment has been melted into the dragon's veins and fortune, but if the spiritual cave is connected to the Shuanglong Pond, will the emperor of Chengze in the future also follow the Buddha's difficult path?
Lift?"
Zhiku knew what Zhao Du was worried about. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "No, Madam should know that Shuanglong Pond is for the 'Fire Wind Spiritual Luck', but it only complements the 'Earth-Water Spiritual Luck' of the Dragon Vein. The resentment and resentment melted into it are
If they are not compatible, the resentment will be pushed away by then...Madam, please do not worry that any Buddhist disaster will happen to the two young masters."
Zhao Du felt relieved and hesitated for a moment before saying, "What is the time when the spirit cave is at its weakest?"
"The sky has three walls, Ziwei, Taiwei, and Tianshi. In terms of astrology, Ziweiyuan is the inner palace where the emperor lives, Taiwei is where the officials of the court live, and Tianshi is where the emperor lives.
Refers to the common people. This great fortune of dragon veins is gathered by the hearts of the people. If the stars in the sky are confusing, it will be the time when the spirit cave atmosphere is at its weakest."
"Does the master know when Yinghuo will attack the stars in Tianshi?"
"It will be in the early autumn of next year." Zhiku chanted the Buddha's name and said: "In order to prevent the Buddha from being reborn, the old monk spent a lot of time studying the Dharma and understood the powerful connection between it.
Will buy it."
"The person who set up the formation made the resentment melt into the dragon's veins and great luck, in order to let the old monk understand that even if the protector failed to rob the emperor, he could still make the emperor who would carry the fortune in the future perform difficult acts. Their intention was to force the old monk to give up.
Eliminate calamity..."
"But he didn't expect the appearance of the Double Dragon Pond, but he didn't have to seize the spiritual acupoint, and could use the spiritual acupoint to transfer the dragon's spiritual energy, thus stealing the sky and exchanging the sun."
Zhi Ku paused for a moment, looked at Zhao Du with a gloomy expression, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The old monk came here today to inform Madam that now he has no choice but to take action against Mr. Jiang. The seriousness of this matter is
, also to tell the truth frankly..."
"If Madam still tries her best to help, even if the old monk's plan fails, the backlash to Madam's family will surely be eliminated in the future, and a long-lasting treasure of blessings will be found to benefit the descendants of the Zhao family."
But knowing that someone had set up an array to block the connection between the spiritual cave and the Shuanglong Pond, Mrs. Zhao Du felt regretful. Now she heard Zhi's bitter words were threatening, and her heart shuddered, "That day when I stepped into the place of Dragon Vein, I had already decided to fight with him.
The masters are advancing and retreating together. The reason why the masters are not allowed to take action against Mr. Jiang is actually because Quanzi has not gained the upper hand..."
"Mr. Jiang is at fault. The current emperor will definitely have new cronies around him. If there are people who are fighting for power and profit, the dog may be suppressed. But Mr. Jiang cares about the people of the world and has the overall situation in mind. When trouble occurs in the future, he will use it appropriately.
...I think it will be of great help.”
"Amitabha, it's good, it's good. Madam is a wise person, and the old monk also understands the plan." Zhiku nodded and said: "That's why I attacked Master Jiang. The old monk didn't intend to take his life, he just wanted to read his memory.
, find out where the guardian and the tomb are..."
Mrs. Zhao Du felt happy, "Then what should I do?"
"The old monk secretly found out whether there were any monks around him to protect him last night, so he didn't take action..."
"There are no monks to protect you? Is it possible that the master is no match? What's more, there are masters Zhiguang and his disciples..." Zhao Du was surprised for a moment.
"Madam, do you also know that Na Luo Pavilion Lord cut off his heart?" Zhi Ku shook his head and smiled bitterly, "With the old monk's martial arts skills, it is possible to defeat Na Ming Wu Shi, but it is not easy to take his life. Jiang
Your Excellency, if you know my purpose in looking for him, you will definitely escape."
"And if we bring Junior Brother Zhiguang with us, Master Jiang will immediately know how powerful it is, but he will cut off his heart like Master Luo... so the old monk does not dare to take risks."
"What does the master mean?"
"On the way the old monk came, I heard that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was returning to Kaifeng. I think the eldest son will also come back. It should be easy to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Jiang by then. If you know that the monk Mingwu is not with him, you can inform the old monk.
."
Zhao Dushi hesitated for a moment, "Since the attack on the elder of the other dean, Master Zhiguang has not stayed in this Buddhist hall... So how will I inform the master then?"
Zhiku smiled slightly, took out a green jade pendant from his sleeve, and said: "This jade pendant has been carried by the old monk for many years. If Madam comes to see the old monk for anything in the future, she only needs to hold it in the palm of her hand calmly for ten breaths.
Count and the old monk will be sensed by then."
Zhao Du passed the jade pendant with a look of surprise on her face, "I will take note of the master's instructions. If there is any news, I will report it to the master immediately."
…
At three o'clock on the third day of the fifth lunar month, as soon as Zhao Kuangyin returned to the mansion, he invited Mrs. Zhao Du to the study. When Mrs. Zhao Du sat down, he said: "Not long ago, Mr. Jiang and the monk Mingwu went to the Si Yamen in front of the palace to look for the child.
... Let me select a hundred camp guards who are good at shooting and follow Mr. Wu and Mr. Hua from the academy. I guess it has something to do with the tomb."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Du thought for a long time and then said, "Do you know where they are going?"
"Master Jiang holds a secret edict from the Holy One, but I don't dare to inquire about it."
Zhao Dushi nodded, "What they did may be related to the tomb...but there is also the possibility of arranging a plan to find out what we are doing."
"Oh?!" Zhao Kuangyin said suspiciously: "Two days ago, the Holy Father also appointed the child as the commander in front of the palace, and added a security guard to inspect the school... It is impossible to see any suspicious child."
"Do you know my mother's purpose in letting Master Zhiku attack and kill Elder Weng and the others?"
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment and pondered for a moment, "Are you trying to clear the child of suspicion?"
"Yes, Elder Liu, Mr. Zhao of the academy has had troubles one after another, and they are all in the Shenhu Camp. In addition, with the incident of Pavilion Master Luo, Mr. Jiang and the others will be very suspicious of the people in the Shenhu Camp, especially with their wisdom.
As the leader, you..."
"That's why when I learned that the Shenhu Camp Guards and the elders who had stayed in Beijing were going to the battle, I asked Master Zhiku to take action. And you were in Shouzhou at that time, so naturally you didn't know about the Shenhu Camp Guards.
The matter of leaving the capital and the attack on Elder Weng and others will not make you suspicious... At the same time, the suspicion of the Holy Emperor, Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Chu on the death of Elder Liu and Mr. Zhao has been transferred to the officials in the capital."
Zhao Dushi paused and looked at Zhao Kuangyin, "Do you know when they will get up?"
"I heard it's Haishi..."
"If Mr. Wu and the others are really going to protect the tomb this time, it is for a long-term matter. As Master Jiang, they will definitely not go with them." Zhao Du said in deep thought: "But regardless of whether it is true or not, for my mother's sake,
It is expected that their ultimate goal is to lure out Master Zhiku. In this case, Mr. Chu and Master Mingwu will secretly accompany them..."
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, "But with Mr. Chu's wisdom, he would not fail to take care of Mr. Jiang's safety. He would have a back-up plan. Maybe they pretend to be out and come back to fight back."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Du thought for a moment and said: "With the magical power of Master Zhiku, Mr. Chu should also know... If Master Zhiku is involved, there is also a burial place, but I guess Mr. Chu and the others
There will be no turning back."
"Then my mother wants to inform Master Zhiku?"
"If Mr. Chu hadn't left anyone to protect Mr. Jiang, where do you think Mr. Jiang would stay?"
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said: "When the elders of other courtyards are reincarnated, they will go to the palace to help prevent it. Even if Master Zhiku is able to do it, it may be difficult for the elders and the palace guards to succeed. And now the elders are dead.
, Mr. Wu, Mr. Hua took the camp guards away again. There are only five masters of the Divine Mind Realm in the palace, but I don’t think Mr. Jiang will stay in the palace..."
"He won't stay in the mansion, nor will he stay in the inner palace..." Zhao Du's eyes suddenly lit up while he was thinking, "Then will he stay in Princess Gaoping's mansion?"
"Princess Palace?" Zhao Kuangyin was stunned.
"I heard that Mr. Luo's brothers and sisters also live in the princess's mansion. It is very possible for Mr. Jiang to settle down in the princess's mansion." Zhao Du said: "It's Youshi down here. My mother went to inform Master Zhiku to come and act.
It’s just time…”
"Mother is asking Master and the others to do something tonight?" Zhao Kuangyin was surprised for a moment.
Zhao Dushi nodded, "As for whether Mr. Wu and the others are really going to protect the tomb, and where they are going... Master Zhiku will know as long as he reads Mr. Jiang's memory, and there is no need to follow them. The important thing now is
Even if the guess about Mr. Jiang's whereabouts is wrong and he is not in the princess's mansion, it will not cause people to suspect us."
…
At three o'clock in the morning, Chu Nanfeng and Jiang Qiubai sneaked into the east courtyard of the princess's palace. However, Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun, and Lin Wanzhen who were chatting in the hall were greatly surprised. After the three people greeted them, Chu Nanfeng
He smiled and said, "Is there any room available in the east courtyard?"
Luo Xiaoyao was overjoyed, and Xiao Muyun said: "Senior brother is staying on the right side of this hall. The wing on the left is an empty room. If master wants to stay here, I will clean it up now..."
"As a teacher, I need to leave the city for two or three days for important matters. It is for you, Master Jiang, to stay temporarily. You three must remember not to let anyone know."
Luo Xiaoyao and the other three were shocked and doubtful for a moment, but they did not dare to ask the reason. They looked at each other and responded in unison: "Disciple, I obey."
Chu Nanfeng and Jiang Qiubai looked at each other and smiled, then they walked out of the hall and entered the wing on the left, but they did not light the lights.
"After Master Wu and the others leave the city, Senior Mu and Master Mingwu will accompany them secretly. I will stay for a moment in the south of the city for a stick of incense. If something changes, junior brother, remember to release the sounding arrow."
Jiang Qiubai smiled and said: "I am staying at the princess's mansion, but no one except Xiaoyao and the other three will know about it. Senior brother, I can rest assured."
