The third case occurred on an isolated island. The southern continent is too big and there are too few people. This isolated island has no official name. The locals call it Kamakayi, which means a place to rest on the way.
As sea trade prospered, ships on long voyages often stopped here to replenish fresh water. As a result, the originally uninhabited island gradually became populated. Some people opened hotels and restaurants here, brothels also became popular, and even merchant ships began to exchange trade here.
Markets were formed, and towns were formed.
No matter how you look at it, it is prosperous. But one night, a shadow fell on this small town. Strictly speaking, the shadow enveloped the entire island, including the ships docked on the island, and they were not spared. This is why we do not
Knowing the reason for the specific time, it was not until many days later that a passing merchant ship discovered the anomaly here and reported it to us. But it happened that the steam gospel soldiers were approaching the border at that time, and we had no time or energy to investigate the anomaly on a remote island.
. ??
When the war ended and we went back, the power of the shadows had not faded. We temporarily broke through the isolation of the shadows and entered the interior of the island. We found that no one survived here, and everyone was drained by the shadows. The situation was even worse than before.
The Sun Temple is even worse. Probably because the Sun Temple is protected by the Sun God, the erupting shadow power is not strong, but the shadow power of this remote island is more than ten times that of the Sun Temple. Everyone's corpses turned into servants of the shadow.
, causing the investigation team we sent to lose some manpower.
However, the investigation team still tried their best to bring out some of the corpses. These corpses also had black sun tattoos, even the corpses of the members of the investigation team we sent were no exception.
This shows that these black sun tattoos are not original, at least not all of them. A considerable part of them appear on the corpse after death. In other words, there are both, some are there before death, and some are after death.
It's hard to tell the difference.
Besides, this kind of tattoo is more like a special mark than a tattoo. This overturns our previous speculation about the struggle between the two factions within the temple, and it also involves a wider range of things.
For this reason, we named this series of cases "The Shadow Case".
Because the special tattoo mark is in the shape of the sun, we believe that whether it is a frame-up or for other reasons, the Sun God is inseparable from it. However, we are unable to investigate the Sun God. Although in the following period, the North and South continents
A new war has not broken out, but the situation is still tense. The secret confrontation under the table has reached a new peak. Our Absolute Holy Church must fully respond to the offensive of the Gospel Ministry, and we really have no energy to investigate the "Shadow Case" anymore.
Of course, there are not only these three cases, but also several other cases that are more or less related. However, due to space limitations, I cannot describe them one by one, but I have compiled these cases into the dossier.
, please read it, Chief Qi.
The signature is Tantai Ying, the chief deputy church leader of Xidaomen Juesheng Church.
Just by looking at this name, we can tell that Tantai Ying must be from the Tantai family. After all, Xidaomen is very good in some aspects, and the Li family is the worst, such as focusing on blood relationships and personal attachment. In any case, in Daomen,
People with foreign surnames like Qi Xuansu can still stand out, but they have not yet completely solidified.
On the other hand, Tantai Ying is not very afraid of Huangfu Ji, such as joking in the letter that Huangfu Ji is not as good as Qingwei Zhenren, and Qi Xuansu launched a Taiping Qian offensive that forced Huangfu Ji to submit, etc. It seems that the relationship between the two is
Yes, and Tantai Ying also has enough confidence. This confidence undoubtedly comes from the family behind him.
Qi Xuansu put away the letter and asked Huangfu Ji, "Brother Huangfu, is this Tantai chief a woman?"
"She is the eldest granddaughter of Master Tantai. Of course, she is not a relative. You also know that it is difficult for immortals to have heirs, and grandnieces are also granddaughters." Huangfuji responded.
Among the three giants of Xidaomen, Tantai Zhenxiao is the eldest, followed by Gong Fu, and Huangfu Zhao is the youngest. As Huangfu Zhao’s son, Huangfuji’s age is just between Tantai Zhenxiao’s children and grandchildren.
He is an uncle, a little younger, and a brother, but a little older. In addition, Huangfu Ji is not very self-assured in private, so Tantai Ying is not so respectful to him, nor does he regard him as an elder.
Qi Xuansu expressed his understanding, "Qingxiao is not the granddaughter of the Heavenly Master."
Yao Pei? It’s hard for him to comment. God knows what the relationship between Earth Master and Yao Pei is.
Huangfu Ji met Zhang Yuelu at Qi Xuansu's apprenticeship ceremony and spoke highly of Zhang Yuelu. In fact, few people had a low opinion of Zhang Yuelu. As long as Zhang Yuelu did not "bring harm" to himself and stood on a neutral stance, they would
They all recognize Zhang Yuelu's ability and character.
"My deputy can't compare with Qingxiao's sister-in-law. She has an eccentric temperament and is not generous. If you offend her, I dare not say that I will remember you for the rest of my life. It will be easy to remember you for more than ten years." Huangfuji commented like this,
"But I don't care anymore. I don't have to worry about too many debts. I don't have to worry about too many lice. As for personal matters, let her go as she pleases. If she delays official matters, I won't be polite at all."
Qi Xuan Su Xiang
Xin Huangfu is not joking. He is somewhat similar to Qi Xuansu. Public and private are two different faces. He is usually very amiable and not aggressive. But when it comes to Xidaomen affairs, he becomes an extreme person. From Tantai
It can be seen from Ying Ying's letter that she often has to transfer her energy to the gospel ministry. It can be seen that Huangfu Ji is in charge of Juesheng Church. No matter how much she holds a grudge, she lacks the strength to take revenge and can only complain and ridicule. She dare not
Go against Huangfuji's will.
Of course, what Huangfuji did was right.
Maybe these shadows are indeed harming the foundation of Xidaomen, but the priorities are different. No matter what the shadows have planned, they will not be able to truly threaten Xidaomen in a short time. However, the steam gospel in the north is really related to Xidaomen and Tawan.
Ting's life and death depended on it. With one careless move, the country was destroyed by the Steam Gospel, and everyone was finished together.
Westerners have never been civilized when dealing with foreigners. After the Steam Gospel returned to the Southern Continent, they had no scruples. They killed people, blew up temples, and the apostles destroyed the Kingdom of God. Give you a stone to pass the knife, and grass to pass the fire.
If people want to change their species, a scalp can be exchanged for a gold pound, and it doesn’t matter what conspiracy you have or not.
Investigate? Investigate shit.
A shadow shrouds the isolated island? Then just wipe out the entire island and all the creatures on it. Is the sea water polluted? Then use the Holy Court's method to pollute it again. All sewage and wastewater will be discharged into it. Fight poison with poison. If I can't use you, don't do it.
If you want to cultivate some weird things in it, the worst thing you can do is withdraw from the Southern Continent. I'm afraid you won't be the steam gospel that sweeps across the New Continent.
From a certain perspective, internal conflicts can only involve one's own people. Once outsiders come in, it won't be a problem at all.
At that time, the gentry cried at the temple every year and would always bring out the most holy teacher. The Confucian courts of all dynasties were helpless and could not beat or scold them. After the Taoist sect came to power, the Confucian temple was demolished, the academic palace was changed to a Taoist palace, and the most holy teacher was changed to a Taoist palace.
Taishang Daozu. Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry again. Your Confucian crown will be ripped off, your legs will be broken, and you must pay taxes and serve as corvees. Let you know what it means to be polite and sweep the floor, what it means to be de-Confucian, and what it means to be a Taoist-dominated society.
Teaching unity.
Therefore, the gospel ministry of Steam Gospel has always been the primary goal of Juesheng Church.
However, now that the war is temporarily over, Xidaomen wants to seek development, and this kind of case cannot be left alone. Therefore, even if the opinions of Xidaomen and Daomen are not completely unified, Qi Xuansu agreed to launch a secret investigation and asked Ben to participate in this case.
The Juesheng Church fully cooperates.
For the next period of time, Qi Xuansu read the files in his room.
Tantai Ying's letter is just a summary, giving Qi Xuansu a general idea
What happened to Dao? The summary of the dossier is an outline, which allows Qi Xuansu to understand some hidden contexts and fills in the background and premise. As for more details, you have to go to Juesheng Hall to know.
Tantai Ying only introduced three relatively representative cases to Qi Xuansu in the letter. In fact, there were other cases, which were all summarized in the files. One of them was related to the Royal Guards.
Tawanting has been transformed into the Central Plains of Xidaomen, and all official positions are fully imitated by the Daxuan court. Especially in the army, a system of large and small ministers is implemented. The highest is the admiral and military affairs general, which is equivalent to a Western general. Then there is the guard general.
A military officer is equivalent to a Western lieutenant general. Then there is the deputy chief military officer, who is equivalent to a Western major general. The general who does not have a permanent seal is equivalent to a marshal.
The leader of the Royal Guards is a guard general and a person who is absolutely trusted by the royal family. He is not from the Central Plains, but he has accompanied the royal family to learn the Central Plains culture since he was a child. He is considered a disciple of Huangfu Zhao and a senior brother of Huangfu Ji, so he
There is also a Central Plains name called Huangfu Zhu.
The compound surname Huangfu must have obtained the consent of the Huangfu family, which somewhat means giving a surname. It can be seen that Huangfu Zhu has a close connection with the Huangfu family.
When building Xin Paititi, it was influenced by Xidaomen and referred to Xijing of the Li Dynasty to a certain extent.
Therefore, the Royal Imperial Guard also followed Li's example and set up the Northern Imperial Guard and the Southern Imperial Guard.
To summarize, the North Ya Imperial Guard is the army that guards the palace and is responsible for guarding the emperor. The South Ya Imperial Guard is the army that guards the city and is responsible for guarding New Paititi.
If the Nanya Forbidden Army is a serious national army, then the Beiya Forbidden Army is the emperor's personal guard, that is, the emperor's personal army.
Throughout the history of Da Qi, as the emperor's personal armed forces, the Beiya Forbidden Army had an unparalleled influence on Da Qi politics. From Gaozu, Taizong, to Zhongzong, Xuanzong, and Xijing Palace, they became ordinary four times, all with the gains and losses of Xuanwu Sect.
The direction of the imperial troops stationed at the North Gate is the key to success or failure. It can be said that whoever wins the North Gate wins the world.
This is similar to the inheritance law of the Imperial Guard in the Western Qin Empire.
Learning from the past, it is natural that such two forbidden armies cannot be placed in the hands of one person. Therefore, the North Yamen is in charge of two deputy deputy general guards to check each other. The South Yamen is less threatening and is in charge of the general guard general.
Therefore, Huangfu Zhu is mainly responsible for the Nanya Imperial Army. Because he is responsible for city defense, many cases are also handled by the Nanya Imperial Army. In order to deal with the endless stream of "chivalrous people who use force to disrupt the imperial army", Huangfu Zhu spent a lot of effort to form a special team.
