Chapter 291 [The knife is full of water, and the wood will break.]
In the blink of an eye, King Jin's chariot arrived at the place where the young princess was changing her palace clothes.
"Hush!"
The convoy stopped, and the luxurious and wide door curtain of the first car was opened from the inside. The King of Jin did not wait for the eunuch to hand him the pedals, he jumped down from the side of the car, and while arranging his ceremonial clothes, he walked quickly towards the thatched cottage.
Come.
The captain in green clothes who had stopped Jia Fei before did not appear, and the King of Jin walked smoothly all the way to the small gate of Cicada Garden.
When he saw two people standing at the door, one was the personal eunuch beside Emperor Jiarui, and the other standing with his hands hanging down was a fifth-grade female official.
He was stunned for a moment, but when he recognized her as the female official in front of the young princess of Prince Yu's Mansion, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but then he returned to normal and said to the eunuch:
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to send a message to my father for me, saying that I have something important that needs to be reported to the Holy Spirit."
"yes!"
This time the eunuch at the door no longer refused, he immediately pushed open the courtyard door, ran to the thatched cottage in the middle, knelt down and screamed:
"Your Majesty! The King of Jin has something important to report outside the courtyard."
"Ha! You didn't come too late. Anting, go and pick up your fifth uncle."
Emperor Jiarui was still half-lying on the couch, speaking lightly to Princess Anting through the screen.
Princess Anting had no choice but to obey the order and stood up and walked to the gate of the small courtyard. She said deeply "Ten Thousand Blessings" to the King of Jin outside the door:
"Fifth Uncle Wan'an, Grandpa Huang is in the thatched cottage."
King Jin glanced at Anting and only responded with a slight hum. He did not ask why she was here, but immediately went to the main house in the thatched cottage.
When he arrived at the thatched cottage, he knelt down and worshiped:
"My dear father, long live my father, long live him, long live him."
"Pingsheng, you both can come in."
Emperor Jiarui's cold voice came from the thatched cottage, and it was no longer as gentle as when he was talking to Princess Anting.
"According to the order!"
King Jin and Princess Anting walked into the thatched cottage one after another, while Emperor Jiarui was still half lying on the couch and asked King Jin through a screen:
"It has been some time since you came back from Qianyuan Prefecture. I have only received a note of greetings from you... Oh yes, there is also a set of rubbings. Other than that, there is no other text. I am afraid that Anting will not be able to do this this time.
Come on, you still don’t know what you’re delaying? Huh! Tell me, what’s the important thing you’re here to do?”
Upon hearing this, King Jin hurriedly knelt down and said that his father atones for his sins. Then when he was about to speak, Emperor Jiarui interrupted:
"I heard that one of the civil and military temples collapsed yesterday? And they were both Suzhou temples?"
"Reporting to my father, it is indeed true. I have asked the Ministry of Industry, the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities and other yamen to go and investigate the casualties. I have also asked the Jinwu Medical Association to investigate the matter..."
Before King Jin finished speaking, Emperor Jiarui raised his hand to stop his words and asked:
"Can we find out the reason for the collapse? And it's such a coincidence that it's all in Suzhou."
After hearing this, the King of Jin hesitated briefly and replied:
"It is said that... it is probably due to disrepair. Father, don't worry, I will submit it to my father immediately after the Ministry of Works investigates and responds."
Emperor Jiarui nodded slightly, then stopped caring about the affairs of the civil and military temples, and turned to ask about King Jin's trip to Qianyuan Prefecture.
At this time, Cheng Yu used the cat demon's magical vision to observe the expressions of the three people in the thatched cottage at the same time.
The King of Jin obeyed the emperor's order and began to talk about it from the time he arrived in Qianyuan Prefecture until Emperor Jiarui heard that there were indeed relics of immortals dancing swords on an unknown hill outside the city. The old emperor didn't know why, but he could not see it.
He glanced at Princess Anting and saw that the other party only lowered his head and showed no signs of anything strange. After pondering for a while, he interrupted Prince Jin and said:
"On that unknown hill, besides the sword rubbings you brought back, are there any other discoveries?"
"Um……"
King Jin thought about it for a while and then said:
"Reporting to my father, Lieutenant Jinwu also found some traces of the fight on the top of the mountain. In addition...oh, he also found a few wine cup fragments. When they were first discovered, they were contaminated with the evil spirit of the wood element, but later they disappeared.
dissipate."
"Evil spirit? Don't say it's the relics of immortals? Where does the evil spirit come from?"
"My son has also visited the local people at the foot of the hill. Everyone said that when the immortals came, clouds and fog gathered on the top of the hill, but two figures, black and white, seemed to be fighting with swords.
generally."
"According to what you said, that was the sword ink mark left by the immortal on the top of the mountain after the battle between immortals and demons was over?"
Jiarudi asked as he straightened up.
"Going back to my father, I am indeed guessing like this."
"Well, it's a pity that I don't know the origin of the immortal... Anting."
After Emperor Jiarui pondered again, he turned to Princess Anting on the other side and asked:
"I think Patriarch Jin has also shown you the rubbings of the sword manual, right?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Anting immediately knelt down and said:
"Back to Grandpa Huang, Anting has already seen it."
“What’s your opinion on it?”
"An Ting is stupid, how dare he speculate on the miracles of immortality? He just looked at the sword score and it seemed like a five-character poem."
Anting knelt in front of the screen and answered calmly.
"Well, it is indeed a five-character poem. Let me look at it. The big characters written with the edge of a sword are quite similar to the Jingkang style you wrote before..."
Hearing Emperor Jiarui mention the words "Jingkang Ti", Cheng Yu immediately looked at the back of Princess Anting, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of the old trickster who cheated food and drink.
These two people are peers who came from time to time.
He transmitted what he heard to Jia Fei next to him. Jia Fei couldn't bear the chirping of cicadas around him and covered his ears. After receiving the transmission from Cheng Yu, he suddenly said:
"No wonder the little princess wrote to King Yu that I was a swordsman. It turned out to be the boy ancestor of Jinwu Guard who told me."
After Emperor Jiarui finished speaking, he looked at Princess Anting motionlessly. There was silence in the thatched cottage for a while. After a few breaths, Anting paused and said:
"Back to Grandpa Huang, when Patriarch Jin gave Anting a rubbing of the immortal's relics for a first look, Anting was also shocked... and admired him endlessly. The so-called shock... was because he saw that the immortal could actually use the sword's edge.
The trend is integrated into the calligraphy, and it is so natural.
And admiration is due to the sharp but elegant writing written by the immortal. The so-called Jingkang body written by Anting before was very different. As for the similarity between the two, it was really the emperor who praised it incorrectly. Anting couldn't afford it.
It was just a mistake, how dare you compare yourself with an immortal?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Princess Anting finished speaking, Cheng Yu's mind suddenly flashed back to the time when he was in Qingchuan County, and he was shocked when he first learned that there were companions in this world.
Feelings.
And the horror that the young princess felt when she first saw the rubbings at that time was probably not as casual as her understatement in these few words.
That feeling is far beyond that of meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
"Hmm... accidental collision, haha, accidental collision can be 70-80% similar. No wonder Patriarch Jin once said that you have spiritual roots and wanted to accept you as his disciple. Do you know that our Daliang royal family has been in the royal family for more than three hundred years?
, a total of eighteen emperors have been passed down, and there are more than tens of millions of princes and emperors, so how did the two ancestors of Jinwu Guards ever accept a royal child? "
Upon hearing this, Anting quickly kowtowed and said:
"My granddaughter is stupid. Patriarch Jin's words about accepting disciples at that time were just a joke. Besides, there is still the prophecy, so my granddaughter dare not have any wrong thoughts."
After Princess Anting finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. Cheng Yu, who was high up, heard Princess Anting mention the prophecy and immediately recalled those four sentences:
"The dragon soars into the clouds, the phoenix flies into the sky, the water fills the knife, and the wood breaks."
The two sentences "Long Tengyun and Feng Feitian" are quite straightforward, but the water behind them is full of water and the knife is broken, and the wood is broken...
Does it mean that the knife will rust when exposed to water?
Why did the wood break?
And how does it relate to the first two sentences?
The prophecies in Cheng Yu's impression were just "Hu Ye is the one who destroyed Qin", "Thousands of miles of grass will not grow." etc., and these four prophecies were only allowed to be circulated among the direct descendants of the royal family, and they were dragons.
, it’s a phoenix, it’s water, it’s a knife, it’s wood, it’s something like that.
The knife is full of water?
The wood breaks...
water……
knife……
Wood!
Suddenly an idea flashed in Cheng Yu's mind. Water, knife, and wood combined into one, weren't they the word "Liang" in the Liang Dynasty?
The wood breaks...
The lower part of the character Liang is a piece of wood. If the wood breaks, the beam will collapse...
Could it be that this prophecy refers to the day when the dragon and phoenix ascend, which is when the Liang Dynasty will fall?
At this time, Cheng Yu remembered that just now, the little princess had told Emperor Jiarui that it was a joke for Patriarch Jin to accept him as his disciple, and with this prophecy, she did not dare to have any evil thoughts.
This prophecy was only circulated within the Daliang royal family, and even the princes and princes who had not yet been ennobled or knighted were unaware of it.
But the inner guards of Jinwu Guard are all cultivators, especially the incense-holding boy and the fine dog demon senior brother. Their cultivation is even more unpredictable. But according to what Emperor Jiarui said, they have never seen each other in more than three hundred years.
Received royal children as disciples.
From this point of view, the dragon and phoenix in the prophecy should refer to the children of the Daliang royal family.
The four sentences before and after are connected together to warn the children of the Daliang royal family not to have people who are obsessed with practicing and trying to ascend, otherwise the Daliang Dynasty will be in danger of being destroyed...
That Emperor Jiarui is so determined to live forever...
Does he really not believe in evil?
At this time, Cheng Yu recalled the Tianxia Duwen Temple and Duwu Temple in the capital. The Suzhou Hall in both temples had collapsed successively, and Suzhou at this time was said to have completely fallen into the hands of the Mobei barbarians.
From this point of view, Emperor Jiarui's actions finally partially fulfilled this prophecy.
Also, thinking about the past life, those emperors who were obsessed with immortality only wanted to cultivate immortality and ascend to the throne forever, but they no longer had the energy to be diligent in political affairs. Naturally, none of them ended up well.
When a human emperor is alive, he has already acquired the greatest wealth in the world, but he still wants to live forever and enjoy heavenly blessings forever?
