Master Qingbo looked at Master Qingwei's face with his one eye, but he could only see the calmness of still water, without any disturbance.
Master Qingbo could only say, "Don't you really want to know why I turned into a demon?"
Master Qingwei asked, "The reason why you turned into a demon is the secret of Fenglinzhou?"
"This is only a very small part of it," Qingfang said.
"Is there anything else?" Master Qingwei asked.
Master Qingfang replied, "There is a rule in the human world. People who are too powerful, whether immortals or gods, cannot stay in the human world for a long time. They can only stay in the human world for a hundred years. Unless they build a divine kingdom with countless divine powers and then hide in it.
, but even so, after a hundred years, one cannot easily leave the Kingdom of God, no different from the mountain god. But Fenglinzhou seems to be an exception. Many people or demons who have passed the one hundred years period are still active in the world, such as the great demon Tamamo.
Before, another example is Yamata-no-Orochi."
"With the great strength of the Taoist sect, it has nominally ruled Fenglinzhou for nearly a hundred years. It must have discovered many strange and unexplainable phenomena. Fenglinzhou seems to be a dark and unknown place where humans and monsters coexist, and where monsters live.
, actually overlaps with where humans live, except that humans are active during the day, while monsters appear at night."
"It seems like a deserted ruins during the day, but at night, when the lanterns are turned on, monsters appear one after another, and it is as lively as Yoshihara in Hidekyung. In Pyeongkyung, when night comes, the whole street is deserted.
At this time, many strange monsters will appear, like a procession in a temple fair, marching in groups in the streets at night. It is called the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts. It is said that those who witness it will be cursed and die for no reason."
"There is also Ise. Not long ago, I just went to Ise. The Yin Qi there covers the sky. If there is not enough people, they will be eroded by the boundless Yin Qi and resentment and turn into monsters. And people will die.
, the soul cannot enter the sky, and the soul cannot enter the earth, but will be driven by the Yin Qi to return to the body before death and turn into a ghost. In the past, the killing god in the Central Plains killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers, but there was no such Yin Qi and
Resentment. Where does all this yin energy and resentment come from?"
"What do Gaotian Kingdom, Weiyuan Kingdom, and Huangquan Kingdom mean respectively?"
"I believe that the Taoist sect has a certain understanding and research on these situations, but I also firmly believe that the Taoist sect still has many unknown things. Regarding these, even this native Shizhouzhai will not know better than me."
Master Qingwei really smiled this time, not an illusion. "Very good, I'm very interested. As long as the master can answer my questions and resolve my doubts, the Taoist sect will meet all the master's reasonable requirements. Let's change places and talk slowly."
Qingbozhu bowed his head and put his hands together
"Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: old age, illness, death, the meeting of resentment and hatred, the separation of love, the failure to seek, and the five yin raging. Everyone in the world is suffering from this disaster. I intend to save the world, but the world is addicted to the world of mortals, and the world of mortals turns into bones. All things are planned
Empty, only cause and effect, repeated reincarnations. Life and death are immortal. I often tell the world that if the mind is not moved, there will be no suffering and no pain. All phenomena are not real, all phenomena are like dreams, and all phenomena are illusory. The one who saves me is the mercy of Buddha. Come into me.
Buddhism, devote yourself to good deeds, know what you know, get what you get, have no desires or demands. Give up anger and ignorance, avoid sex and avoid greed, only then can you achieve ultimate happiness."
…
Xiujing camp.
After Zhang Yuelu met the leader of Qingfang, he returned to the camp. He did not follow the army to attack, but still buried his head among the papers.
In fact, this was supposed to be Li Changge's job, but who allowed Li Changge to be censored?
On Zhang Yuelu's left hand was a top-secret file from Fenglinzhou Daofu and the notes she had made casually, and on her right were various historical records from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, Zhang Yuelu was browsing the file at a glance.
As early as when the Daomen entered Fenglin Continent for the first time, they were already aware of the existence of certain problems.
At that time, Da Zhenren, the first head of Fenglinzhou Taoist Prefecture, once proposed to Jinque that Fenglinzhou should be abandoned. The reason was that there were great unknown risks in Fenglinzhou. As for what the risks were, this Da Zhenren
The words are unclear and there is no clear explanation.
Regarding the original, Fenglinzhou Taoist Office does not have it, and it should be sealed at Jinque. But after all, it is an old object from a hundred years ago, and it should have been decrypted, but it will be quite troublesome to find it.
At that time, Jinque made a compromise decision, not to actually occupy and rule Fenglinzhou, but to hand it over to Prime Minister Toyotomi for self-government. The Taoist sect must do no interference, no change, no intervention to the greatest extent possible, ensuring that it can leave at any time.
Fenglinzhou Daomen can only make certain decisions within certain limits, focusing on business, that is, making decisions that the situation allows.
A hundred years have passed by in a hurry, and many people have forgotten the original decision. Even because it was unclear at the time, future generations do not even understand the meaning of this decision. So there was the Fenglinzhou War, which went against the ancestral decision.
Zhang Yuelu was also unclear about the significance of the decision back then. Only after combining the top-secret documents related to Fenglinzhou Daofu and Toyotomi Prime Minister's Palace, he gradually came up with a rough guess.
Under normal circumstances, these top-secret documents are kept in dusty and heavily guarded places, all the way up to Fenglinzhou Road.
No one from the head of the government to the ordinary deacon would touch it.
The reason why Zhang Yuelu accessed these two secret files was mainly because he came up with this idea after a conversation with the master of Qingfang.
In order to retrieve these two secret files, she specifically asked Master Qingwei for instructions. Master Qingwei came forward to communicate with the Fenglinzhou Taoist Office and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office respectively. The Taoist Office and the Prime Minister's Office spent a lot of effort to retrieve the documents.
If it were Zhang Yuelu himself who came out, that would be absolutely impossible.
Zhang Yuelu turned another page.
"There is a mountain called 'Eternal Life' in Fenglinzhou, also known as 'Hibiscus Mountain'. Back then, a Taoist alchemist went to the overseas fairy mountains for the ancestor dragon to find the medicine of immortality. He came here, but he disappeared later.
There are rumors that this alchemist surnamed Xu is the ancestor of the Japanese people, but the authenticity cannot be verified."
Zhang Yuelu wrote the words "Furong Mountain" in his notes and opened the relevant records of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"In June of the 19th year of the Enritsu year, Suruga Kuni said that from March 14th to April 18th last year, the top of Furong Mountain burned by itself. During the day, the smoke was dim, and at night, the fire illuminated the sky. The sound of
Like thunder, the ashes fall like rain, and the rivers and rivers under the mountains are all red."
"In the 21st year of Yanli, "Fenglinzhou Jiluo" contains "Suruga Xiangmo Guoyan, Suruga Kingdom Furong Mountain, the day and night are constantly burning, and the gravel disperses like mist, please ask for divination to divine the sun and prevent thousands of epidemics.
It is appropriate to order the two countries to strengthen their support and to read scriptures to ward off disasters... In the fifth month of the month...Jiawu, abolish Xiangmoguo Zugang Road, open the Luhe Road, and use hibiscus to burn gravel to block the road."
"On the twenty-fifth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Shinkan period, in Suruga Kuniyan, there was a great mountain fire involving the three Asama gods in Furong County. It was so blazing that it burned the mountain for one or two hundred miles. The flames of light were more than twenty feet high and were as big as
There was a sound like thunder, and there were three earthquakes that lasted for more than ten days. The fire was still not extinguished, the scorched rocks collapsed, sand and gravel were like rain, and the smoke was thick. No one could get close. To the northwest of the mountain, there was a native habitat in the water and sea. The burned rocks flowed into the sea.
, three hundred or so miles far, three or four hundred miles wide, twenty or thirty feet high, the flame belongs to the Kingdom of Jia Fei."
"On the 17th day of Xin Chou Kahi's national speech, there was a sudden fire in Furong Mountain in Suruga Kingdom, which burned the hills and mountains, scorched the grass and trees, caused landslides and rockslides, buried Yatsushiro County Motosu, and drew two seas. The water was as hot as soup, and the fish
All the turtles died, and the people lived in their houses and were buried with the sea, or there were houses and no one there. The number of them is hard to remember. To the east of the two seas, there is also a sea of water, called the Hekou Sea. The flames went to the Hekou Sea. Motochi and other seas were not burned.
Before he was buried, there was a huge earthquake, thunder and lightning, heavy rain, rain and fog, and it was difficult to distinguish the mountains and fields."
"In the second month after the fire, the Fenglinzhou court issued the order of 'Suppressing Xie'. There will be no worries from then on."
Zhang Yuelu continued to take notes, "Four fires, the ashes almost filled the entire Kanto, and there were countless casualties. After that, the 'Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night' happened."
After writing this, Zhang Yuelu paused slightly, and then commented in small characters: "Is it because of the fire that the Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night? Or is it because there were too many casualties in the fire? Or are these two factors indispensable? So
You should always be suspicious."
"In addition, regarding the so-called sacrifice ceremony, it was led by the Ise Shrine, the former shogunate, and the Horinsu court represented by the imperial family. The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office rose too late, and the Toyotomi family was from civilians, so there was no relevant
There are no detailed records on this aspect, and the specific circumstances are unknown.”
Zhang Yuelu leaned back in his chair and murmured, "What exactly is under Furong Mountain?"
No one can answer this question.
Perhaps Qingwei Master can answer this question after he has finished talking with Qingfang Master.
This is related to the entire layout adjustment of this Fenglinzhou war.
Now, Zhang Yuelu even believes that the Taoist sect should not have launched the Fenglinzhou war so hastily. It was only the increasingly fierce internal party disputes and the rising blind arrogance of the young faction that ultimately led to the occurrence of this war, and the result may be
It develops in a direction that no one expected.
At this moment, Mu Jin walked in.
Zhang Yuelu closed the files and notes on the table and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mu Jin replied, "The secretary of Master Qingwei sent word that Deputy Hall Master Tianyuan has replied and everything is fine."
Generally speaking, secretaries will have a special circle. For example, if two real people want to meet, their secretaries will usually contact them first, discuss the time, and finally report to their respective bosses.
In this circle, there are also distinctions between big and small. For example, the secretaries of Tang Jiaohua, Gong Jiaojun and Qingweizhen are considered big secretaries, while Mu Jin is considered a small secretary.
However, Zhang Yuelu has a bright future, and Mu Jin, who follows Zhang Yuelu, is destined to be prosperous, so the secretaries are happy to submit to him at all costs, as if they have formed a good relationship in advance.
After all, the three masters and the three princes will eventually ascend, and they can't follow them up together. When that day comes, it will be Zhang Yuelu and others who are high up in Jinque, and they will no longer be secretaries and come out to take charge of the affairs on their own.
. Just as the saying goes that career advancement requires precision work, constant access to credit, and constant filial piety. They also want to flatter these juniors who have become senior secretaries in order to get these juniors to say good things about themselves in front of Zhang Yuelu and others.
Or get some inside information.
Zhang Yuelu asked, "Where is Tianyuan now?"
Mu Jin replied, "On the way back to Yoshida City."
