158. Chapter 158 Spring and Autumn Tomb, the stars change!
Author: My heart is still the same
Chapter 158 Spring and Autumn Tomb, the stars have changed!
The Bureau of Economic Affairs, to put it bluntly, is a very large library that occupies half of the mountainside. It is divided into east and west areas from other departments of Zhanshi Mansion and the official residence, separated by a long climbing step.
From the outside, it looks like an ancient version of a factory, with only one floor and several feet high.
In the middle of the interior is a main case and two secondary cases, surrounded by giant bookshelves.
Etiquette, laws, farming, poetry, astronomy and geography...
Except for records of natural disasters and martial arts that cannot be put on paper, this book contains almost all the knowledge of this world.
Moreover, it is far more complete than local county schools.
For example, history books.
When I was studying in Canglong, the official history that I had access to was only 1,800 years old, while the Economic Bureau's... was 5,000 years old!
pity.
The origin of Daqing was even more than five thousand years ago.
For example, at this time, what Xu Chong was holding in his hand was the earliest official history collected by the Bureau of Economic Affairs, "Qingshi - Shunhe Years".
The first sentence at the beginning is "In the 6259th year of Xuanli, the emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Shunhe".
A succession and a change of reign can show that Shunhe was not the reign name of the founding emperor.
However, Xu Chong secretly paid attention to this year, Xuanli 6259.
Whether it was the original person or his own, this was the first time I saw this Xuanli statement in my memory.
"Was it eliminated or hidden?"
"If it is eliminated, it means that Xuanli was not established by Qing Taizu. Moreover, Qing Taizu's era should not be too far away from Emperor Shunhe."
"If it's hidden, there are more possibilities."
Xu Chong was thoughtful and walked towards the main case with his book.
Anyway, he was already in the cave, and the prompt on the panel also indicated that the spiritual source could be generated without any hindrance. He had a lot of time to spend searching for secrets.
As they walked over, there was a loud clatter and about twenty people stood up in unison.
Including Xue Fu, there are six school clerks, six writers, and a dozen miscellaneous officials who have not entered the ranks.
This is the manpower of the entire Economic Affairs Bureau.
"Sir, let your subordinates do the work of finding books."
Xue Fu was the first to speak, and his status was obviously higher than that of other school teachers.
"How can there be so many rules?"
Xu Chong waved his hand and sat down, "Just go about your business and don't worry about me."
After countless revisions, most of the books in the Bureau of Economic Affairs have reached the point where they cannot be changed. The main daily work is to sort out the local chronicles of the previous year, select the parts that can be included in the official history, and submit them to the Hanlin Academy.
If there are objections from the Hanlin Academy, they will send people to discuss it together.
This work is filled with a lot of self-deception and stupidity, and Xu Chong disdains to get involved.
"Haha, listen to the adults."
Xue Fu smiled and gestured to the others and sat down one after another.
These people felt relieved at the same time.
In fact, thanks to the temperament of His Royal Highness, there are no too strict rules in the entire cave, and the officials are very easy-going to get along with.
But after all, Xu Chong had just taken office, and their grades, status and backgrounds were very different from Xu Chong's, and they couldn't figure out Xu Chong's likes and dislikes, so they inevitably had to be more cautious.
Youshi.
Xue Fu led everyone to salute and say goodbye.
Xu Chong is the only person left in the Economic Affairs Bureau.
When twelve hours passed, the spiritual source was generated a little.
"The Auspicious Heaven is also a low-grade cave. Theoretically, it can be generated at a maximum rate of 2 o'clock a day, but I'm afraid you have to go to the prince's palace on the top of the mountain."
Xu Chong thought and shook his head, "Forget it, the prince's palace, apart from the prince's family, only the eunuchs can live there permanently. It would be nice to have one day at 1 o'clock."
"At least it's safe here."
"The prison side also successfully descended to the seventh floor."
"From now on, my main focus will still be on the Fang family."
There is a saying that the principle of this external incarnation is beyond his knowledge in two lifetimes combined.
Three bodies share one brain and can see three different scenes at the same time and make different responses at the same time without any delays.
At this time, Xu Chong was chewing fire moss, flipping through history books, and observing the Spring and Autumn Tombs.
In the Spring and Autumn Tomb, Xu Chong was also placed halfway up the mountain, but the treatment was far different.
At this time, he was standing in a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Outside the pavilion is a water pool, and outside the water pool is a large net woven by thunder and lightning. Outside the power grid, there are only graves all over the mountains and plains...
Generally speaking, the main body inside Chunqiu Tomb is the same as Jixiangtian, which is a mountain.
The difference is that this is a tomb.
From the foot of the mountain up, densely packed tombstones are spread all the way to the top of the mountain, and no other buildings can be seen.
There is no clue at all about the so-called rules of the cave.
"You have been living here for many years, won't you have problems with your character?"
Xu Chong was a little curious.
Fang Lezhong's face darkened, "Lin Kuang, you are no longer the Taoist master you once were. Believe it or not, even if the Lin family knew you were here, they wouldn't ask for anyone from the Fang family at all?"
"I know."
Xu Chong nodded directly, "Back then, no matter whether I had any hope of breaking through the Immortal God or not, I was still in the Nine Transformations of the Yang God. But now that my Zi Mansion is almost half-impaired and barely retains the strength of the First Transformation, it is far less important.
"
"Since you know, you should understand that telling the truth is your only way to survive."
Fang Lezhong narrowed his eyes.
"Explain what?"
Xu Chong's face was expressionless.
"The first is the imperial edict."
Fang Lezhong stared at 'Lin Kuang', his eyes flickering: "It is said that no one who was imprisoned below the third floor can come out alive... Tell me, what is it like below the third floor, and you?
How did it come out?"
This information is needed by all three major families.
The three families only knew about the imperial edicts on the upper third floor and knew nothing about the lower third floors, and even this was obtained from the mouths of the officials in the imperial court.
If there really is a way to escape from the imperial prison, and only the Fang family knows about it...
"Don't you think I have surrendered to the imperial court?"
Xu Chong grinned, "It's true. I have arrangements from the imperial court. If you don't want the imperial court to find you here, I advise you to let me go as soon as possible."
"Forget it, if I don't let you die, I'm afraid you won't cooperate."
Fang Lezhong shook his head and sighed, "Did you see the coffin when you came in?"
"So what if I saw it?"
Xu Chong's heart moved slightly.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, that is not the original body of Chunqiu Tomb at all."
Fang Lezhong chuckled, "The original body of the Spring and Autumn Tomb is placed in the coffin."
"And the material of that coffin is the forbidden stone from the imperial prison - ninety-nine thousand kilograms of forbidden stone."
"It took hundreds of years just to collect the materials."
"After hundreds of years and six generations of continuous tempering with pure physical strength, the Forbidden Stone was built into such a coffin."
"The purpose is to completely distinguish the Chunqiu Tomb from the outside world."
"So, no matter what arrangement you have on your body, it can only take effect within the cave and cannot be transmitted out of the coffin at all."
As he said this, Fang Lezhong chuckled, "I'm not afraid to tell you, even if Dou Tianyuan came here, he would not be able to leave the Spring and Autumn Tomb through his methods."
Xu Chong's face turned ugly.
It's not pretending this time.
He always thought that as long as he had a hand to break the sky, he could leave at any time no matter what danger he encountered in the Chunqiu Tomb.
But now it seems that it may be hanging by a thread.
They have spent nearly a thousand years just to make the clan's land more stable... They are worthy of being one of the three ancient families, and their efforts are really astonishing.
"in addition."
After a pause, Fang Lezhong continued: "Unless he is elected to the clan elders' meeting or becomes the head of the upper clan, otherwise, no matter who enters or exits the Spring and Autumn Tomb, he must drink the unconscious drug in advance to protect the secret of the coffin...
…you understand me?"
"It means that you will never let me leave alive, right?"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.
"certainly."
Fang Lezhong stroked his beard and smiled, "Whether it is Lin Kuang from the Lin family or Lin Kuang from Taiping Road, they will definitely not be able to leave the Chunqiu Tomb alive, but... Lin Kuang from the Fang family is different."
Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Cooperate with the Fang family."
Fang Lezhong's eyes burned brightly, "As long as you can prove your worth, the Fang family will not hesitate to help you restore the Zi Mansion and give you the same treatment as a direct descendant... Of course, certain restrictions are necessary."
"...I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Xu Chong said coldly.
"Haha, don't worry, you can think about it carefully."
Fang Lezhong stood up and said meaningfully: "I believe you will agree in the end."
After saying these words, Fang Lezhong's body shone with lightning, and he flew out of the thunder and lightning net.
"Now!"
Xu Chong's eyes widened.
Spectral Transformation and One Hand Breaking the Sky are activated at the same time.
With one step forward, Xu Chong, who was completely invisible, appeared behind Fang Lezhong.
As for those who are still sitting in the pavilion, they are naturally phantoms.
In this way, Xu Chong followed Fang Lezhong to a position close to the top of the mountain.
There are many fewer tombs here and they are much larger.
One of the tombs sensed Fang Lezhong's arrival and automatically separated from the center to both sides, revealing a staircase extending downwards.
Xu Chong followed and walked down.
With just one step, the picture in his peripheral vision made him discover the clue.
Outside the cemetery, whether it was flowing clouds or flying birds, everything slowed down instantly.
Compared with before, the difference is almost ten times!
"So, only in the cemetery can the rules of change exist?"
Xu Chong was thoughtful.
According to the information Lin Kuang obtained, one hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Tomb corresponds to one year in the outside world.
Obviously, this news is crude.
It should be the strongest point of the rules to achieve a hundred to one effect.
"We need to find out what conditions are required for entry and exit of this cemetery."
Xu Chong thought as he followed Fang Lezhong down.
Soon, a large hall appeared in front of you.
There was no lamp on, but it looked extremely bright, like daylight.
On the wall near the back, there is a plaque with the three characters "Senate Hall" written on it.
There are twelve chairs in a circle in the hall, eleven of which are already occupied.
Fang Lezhong walked straight to the empty chair.
As soon as we took our seats, someone started speaking eagerly.
"How about it? Is Lin Kuang willing to cooperate?"
"How can it be that easy?"
Fang Lezhong shook his head, "After all, he has been a Taoist master. Even if he has been imprisoned for twenty years, he is still somewhat arrogant."
"Hmph, it would be a big joke if you spend so much time and effort to expose the location of the cave. If you can't find out anything, it would be a big joke."
"Yes, opening and closing the forbidden coffin is not an easy task. Don't waste your efforts."
"As far as I'm concerned, this Kuang Lin has no value at all. He could just kill a hundred of them."
"..."
Everyone spoke one after another, mocking Fang Lezhong openly or covertly.
Only an old woman supported him.
"You can't say that. In any case, Lezhong is also doing things for the family. What's more, whether it's opening and closing the coffin or maintaining the cage, Lezhong does it himself. Even if you get nothing in the end, it doesn't waste anything for you.
Son."
As soon as the old woman opened her mouth, everyone immediately became restrained.
It can be seen that he is relatively senior among the people here.
"Le Zhong, don't be depressed, tell me your opinion."
The old woman looked at Fang Lezhong and said, "We are all brothers and sisters. Even if there is any unpleasantness, please don't involve it in business."
"That's what my aunt taught me."
Fang Lezhong nodded respectfully, then glanced around before speaking calmly: "Whether Lin Kuang has surrendered to the imperial court or not, I think he must have mastered a magical power."
The words shocked everyone.
Xu Chong hid in the dark and couldn't help but feel shocked.
And others became even more noisy.
"Supernatural powers?!"
"impossible!"
"Mystical powers have long since disappeared..."
"..."
Everyone was talking.
"Quiet!"
The old woman uttered two words coldly, "Listen to the music and finish."
Fang Lezhong nodded to the old woman, took out an object from his arms and threw it over, "I wonder if aunt recognizes this object?"
The old woman stretched out her hand to catch it.
This is an irregular stone with sharp edges and corners, golden and black in color. It looks ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, every surface has twisted lines.
The old woman recalled the records in her family and exclaimed in horror: "World Stone?!"
Everyone looked puzzled, as if they didn't know about this kind of thing.
"It's the World Stone."
Fang Lezhong nodded, "My Fang family has records that the World Stone was born with the creation of heaven and earth. Each World Stone represents a magical power that goes hand in hand with the rules of heaven and earth."
"In ancient times, some people destroyed the World Stone in order to monopolize magical powers. Once the World Stone is destroyed, you have to spend your life if you want to pass on magical powers, and you can only teach one person at a time. This is the reason why magical powers are extinct today."
After saying this, the eyes of all the clan elders became hot.
"When and where did you discover this?"
The old woman asked in a deep voice.
"This stone came from the sea."
Fang Lezhong replied, "In the sixth year when Lin Kuang became the Taoist master, our Fang family suffered heavy casualties. The clan suspected that Lin Kuang was causing trouble, so they sent me to sit on the building ship. It happened that this stone ignored the building ship.
The protection just hit the hull."
"...It's just a fragment. It might have been broken in ancient times. How did you think that Lin Kuang has supernatural powers?"
The clan elders looked at Fang Lezhong, speechless.
I thought you found it from Lin Kuang, but this is the result?
What a surprise for nothing.
"At first, I thought so too."
Fang Lezhong shook his head and changed the subject: "It wasn't until I learned that Lin Kuang was still alive that I began to think of supernatural powers."
"Think about it, how many years has our Fang family been inherited?"
"In so many years, so many people, have you ever discovered a second World Stone fragment?"
"If it doesn't appear sooner, it won't appear later, but it just happened that it appeared after Lin Kuang's rise."
"Maybe you think this is just a coincidence, but how did Lin Kuang survive back then?"
"Can the ninth level of Yang Shen stop the cave sky from collapsing?"
"Not to mention the ninth level of Yang Shen, there are also people here who have golden bodies of fifth or even sixth level. Are they sure they can prevent the cave sky from collapsing and not die?"
"In addition, Lin Kuang is just a side branch of the Lin family. Even though he has been a Taoist master for more than ten years, what qualifications and secrets do he have to allow Emperor Qing to keep him for more than twenty years?"
Fang Lezhong raised his lips, "I think if Lin Kuang had mastered a magical power and exposed it back then, all this would be explained."
Xu Chong listened and sighed secretly.
The background of the three ancient families is too deep, and the huge information gap allows them to get very close to the truth with just a few clues.
If it weren't for the spectroscopic shadow and the hand that broke the sky, this body would have been handed over to the Spring and Autumn Tomb sooner or later.
"Yes, it is possible."
The old woman nodded slowly, "Although not everyone can master magical powers, our Fang family has nothing but a large number of people... The only problem now is that Lin Kuang cultivates Taoism for the Zi Mansion. Even if the Taoism is half useless, unless
He volunteered, otherwise we would not be able to force him."
