Chapter Ninety-Four: Running in the Night (D)
Chang Nai and Huang Juren hit it off at first sight and had a long talk all night. The two of them chatted deeply www.biquge.info and Chang Nai knew that this Huang Juren was not only a deep and dark man, but also a yin and yang master under the Huang Lao Sect, and he was better at exorcism and blessing, and the use of the altar.
During this period, most of the Manchu officials had their hands stained with the blood of the Han people, and they exchanged military exploits for slaughter and poke, and sat in the position of a party leader. After a long time, there is always some faint uneasiness in my heart, afraid that those unjust souls will ask for their lives, so they are very enthusiastic about Buddhism. Of course, Chang Nai is not exempt from vulgarity, such a talent, pragmatic and reasonable, and proficient in yin and yang, must stay in the house.
Within a few days, the official letter of the Governor's Yamen came down, that Huang Juren was the son of Chang Nai's old friend, and he came to Jiangning from Sichuan to defect, and there was no problem of forging the seal letter, so he was released immediately, and he also entered the Governor's Yamen as Chang Nai's staff. Of course, in retrospect, it was all implemented according to a seamless plan. Huang Juren came to Jiangning from Sichuan via many provinces, why was it only in Jiangning that he was found to have forged a seal letter? Wasn't he prepared to deal with the government with no fear, talked eloquently, and dealt with it freely? When he was imprisoned in prison, a foreigner, who helped him to drum up momentum in the market, turning him into a prisoner of the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, causing tension in the government? When he first saw Chang Nai, he was a down-and-out person, how could he know about the intrigue in the Liangjiang government and make accurate judgments and suggestions so quickly?
These doubts are put together, there is only one explanation, this is a well-thought-out plan, many people help Huang Juren to get close to Chang Nai in the shadows, and gain Chang Nai's trust. But even if you know the previous plan, you still can't figure out what Huang Juren is going to do next, so you will only attribute everything before to coincidence, to providence, this is also the most powerful part of Baiguan Dao, and you will never guess what he is going to do until the last moment.
The reason why I remember this story so well is entirely because of the ending of the official fight caused by Huang Juren's strategy of fishing in troubled waters. After receiving Chang Nai's recital, Kangxi thundered and was furious, and several holy decrees followed, Wei Tingzhen had the confidence to thoroughly investigate the huge deficit before the two Huai Salt Administrations, and Cao Yin and Li Xi were not spared. Fortunately, at the last moment, Kangxi still missed the old and did not destroy the door, but only raided his home and exiled, but the Cao family was in decay so far, and it was only here that Cao Xueqin had a painful inspiration because of the great changes, and achieved the famous novel "Dream of Red Mansions". In a sense, without Baiguandao, "Dream of Red Mansions" may be "The Story of Red Mansions".
I was so happy that I was fascinated by what I said, and I suddenly realized that the last train of 360 had already left the main station and slowly drove forward. Team Cao forgot the teapot in his hand, went directly to touch the steering wheel, gear, and the teapot fell on his pants, he scolded, started the jeep in embarrassment, and chased forward.
From Xiangshan Bus Terminal to Wan'an Cemetery, there are about three stops, the bus runs very slowly, there is no momentum of the previous night bus, plus the light poles on both sides of the road are very spacing, the light is dim, the bus is simply moving, this speed does not encounter trouble and has to be late. But Team Cao was so relaxed that he ignored the tea on his pants and asked me to continue.
Huang Juren entered Chang Nai's shogunate, and was deeply respected by Chang Nai, not only to discuss major matters with him, but also to draft many official documents directly by him. But Huang Juren was not proud of this, but used most of his salary to win over other masters, travel in the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and socialize. He is very low-key in doing things, he does a lot of things, and the credit is given to others as much as possible, and there is a ball of harmony up and down, so after more than three months, Chang Nai trusts Huang Juren even more. But no one noticed that when Huang Juren was fine, he always liked to wander around the back garden of the Governor's Palace.
But soon, some strange things began to appear in the Liangjiang Governor's Palace. First of all, an old staff member who had been following Chang Nai for a long time was on duty one night, and suddenly went crazy, shouting in the courtyard that the third prince of Zhu was coming, and everyone would take over. This is a crime full of beheadings, and Chang Nai hurriedly and secretly took people to the countryside for treatment. Soon, one of Chang Nai's housekeepers committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam in the governor's palace, leaving only a bloody letter, saying that he would die to block an evil god for Chang Nai, and repay the kindness of the year. After that, some people always saw some white-clothed headless figures wandering in the back garden, so that people did not dare to enter the garden at night, and even the long ray ran into it once, and was scared half to death. One day, Chang Nai was taking a nap in the bedroom bed, and suddenly woke up, but his limbs couldn't move, and he saw a white shadow entering through the wall, and then through the opposite wall, and holding a person's head in his faint hand. Chang Nai was originally timid, but the case of Yan Zheng was investigating the critical port, and he fell ill in a hurry.
The Liangjiang Governor's Mansion used to be the Han Wang's Mansion in the former Ming Dynasty, when the Qing army conquered Nanjing, the Han Wang's family set themselves on fire, and more than 2,000 people in the palace were killed, which can be said to be a river of blood. Chang Nai knew that it was a ghost who was wronged, so he hurriedly went to invite Huang Juren. Huang Juren told Chang Nai that the resentment here is too deep, and the jealousy is difficult to relieve, and I am afraid that I will worry about my life if I stay here for a long time. It is recommended that Chang Nai temporarily move out of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion first, and at the same time close the back garden, and he will invite some masters to do a ritual and surpass the soul. After the peace in the house, move back. But this can only be done in secret, and it will be very detrimental to the long ray if it gets out. At this time, Chang Nai was already a master of the six gods, and he naturally obeyed Huang Juren's words.
The next day, Chang Nai moved out, leaving some soldiers to surround the back garden, and no one was allowed to enter without waiting for Huang Juren's order. Huang Juren went out of the city for a few days, and when he came back, he took a dozen people and used several carts to pull some heavy things back to the house. But the car was covered with a thick black cloth, and I don't know what it contained. Chang Nai was a little worried, so he arranged for the housekeeper to secretly take a look, it turned out to be some half-human high copper tripods and various incense burners and candlesticks, Chang Nai was relieved.
I was talking to Team Cao when I suddenly saw the bus in front of me stop, and the tail lights flashed back and forth. At this time, we were about twenty or thirty meters away from the bus, and the Cao team hurriedly turned off the engine, and it was dark all around, and even the street lights on both sides of the road were extinguished, leaving only two bus tail lights on.
I asked Team Cao where we we'd been, and Team Cao looked around and told me that it should be near Wan'an Cemetery, and we stopped talking and waited silently for the movement in the bus. But the strange thing is that we waited for a long time, and the bus was like falling asleep, and there was no sound at all.
After about five minutes, Team Cao couldn't bear to get out of the car to take a look, so I grabbed him and pointed to the darkness on the side of the road. Team Cao's eyes widened, and he looked carefully for a long time, but he didn't seem to see anything except the shadows of the weeping willows on both sides of the branches and trees that kept swinging. Team Cao looked at me suspiciously, and I put my finger to my mouth and motioned for him to continue observing in the dark.
At this time, the front and rear doors of the bus "Kuang" opened, and the loud sound of us were both excited, and then the originally black carriage suddenly lit up, but this was originally a little dim light, flickering, shaking people's eyes very uncomfortable. It was only then that we noticed that several figures were walking towards the bus on the side of the road.
As the old man we interviewed said before, there were three people in black robes, and even their heads were tightly wrapped, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. The one in the middle was obviously carried forward by the two next to him, and it was true that the underside of the robe was empty, and there were no legs. But judging from the walking posture of the other two people, it doesn't seem difficult to hold the individual, especially when getting into the car, I can't feel their strength at all, and the person in the middle seems to float up on his own.
Team Cao turned his head sideways and whispered to me, "Old Chang, do you want to go over and have a look?" I grabbed his wrist and shook my head.
Under the flickering lights of the carriage, three black-robed men sat down in the long row of seats at the back of the car, and one of them looked back, and then the lights in the carriage went out. A minute later, the headlights of the bus turned on suddenly, and the two pillars of light illuminated the snow white in the distance, and we noticed that countless willows were shaking in front of the bus, as if there was a strong wind blowing the willow trees that one person could not hug were shaking. After that, it was the roar of the bus engine, and the car trembled twice and slowly drove forward.
I whispered in the ear of Team Cao, "Don't be busy, you must leave a distance of two hundred meters." Team Cao nodded, but kept holding the steering wheel with his hands, muttering, "Lao Chang, what the hell?"
"Hell, not necessarily, at least the two on both sides are human. ”
"Why?" Team Cao was clearly confused by my words.
"The bus stopped just now, and the three people got on the bus, about five minutes apart, and in these five minutes, did you notice that the wicker swayed the hardest? ”
"What about collective hypnosis?" Team Cao couldn't keep up with my train of thought at this point.
"Hypnotism is generally one-to-one, both in the East and the West, and the hypnotist uses an object, of course, through gestures and words, and the controlling one can even put the other person into a light sleep without any medium. There are very few people who have mastered this kind of simultaneous hypnosis of multiple people, and the possibility of being able to perform simultaneous hypnosis without these people being conscious is very rare, but I know that there is such a method in Baiguan Dao, and it is only today that I understand that they actually use the shaking of tree shadows as a medium to carry out collective hypnosis. Of course, this thing is not called that in ancient books, and it is collectively referred to as illusion. Lao Cao, think about it carefully, if a ghost wants to get into this car, how can he use illusions, it must be a person, someone is manipulating all this. "I knew that Team Cao might have a hard time digesting my inference, but I couldn't help but say it.
"Lao Chang, you know my brain, I won't turn around, you tell me so many things at once, you panic, you still finish telling me about Huang Juren first. Seeing that the bus had gone far away, Team Cao started the car and slowly followed.
"Okay, you drive, I'll tell, but don't lose it. It is estimated that the bus will stop when it arrives at the tomb of King Rui. ”
As our car passed by where the bus had just stopped, I noticed that all the wickers were hanging silently, without a hint of wind.
