[017] Old things in the rivers and lakes
After seeing that everyone was seated, Zeng Hu returned to the open space among the people, arched his hands everywhere and said, "Inviting you to come here today is actually a matter to discuss."
Everyone raised their heads instantly after hearing this, after all, everyone knows that snow ambergris is definitely not so easy to drink, ordinary ambergris is not easy to get, and snow ambergris is the head pot of ambergris brewed in winter, not that the head pot of every pot of ambergris can become snow ambergris, generally a probability of five to one.
After obtaining the liquor, a variety of precious Chinese medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, shou wu, tiger bone, deer whip and so on are added, in addition to these, there are two other flavors of medicine, and the addition of these two flavored medicines, if successful, can be made into ambergris, using the urine of a woman and a three-year-old child. Whether it is the collection time, the dosage, and even the body of the collection are very particular, so that after calculation, it is good to be able to make three or five jars of snow ambergris in a year. And today, Zeng Hu uses it for nearly a year.
"Everyone knows that there is a pious order in the rivers and lakes, and this pious order was made in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and was left by Li Shimin." Shen You heard the opening of Zeng Hu's mouth slightly upturned, and as he expected, Zeng Hu just warmed up a little and went straight to the point.
Everyone didn't speak, and made a listening posture to Zeng Hu's ears, and Zeng Hu continued: "As we all know, there is a secret behind this pious order, for so many years, some say it is a martial arts cheat, some say it is jewelry coral, some say it is gold and silver jewelry, all of them are insufficient. But what exactly, for thousands of years, no one has given an accurate answer. ”
Everyone didn't speak, after all, what Zeng Hu said was exactly what the people here cared about, and people often listened carefully when they came to what they were concerned about.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zeng Hu looked around and said, "Actually, this thing is also a thing with a master, do you all know it?" ”
"Didn't you say it was an item in a thousand doors?" Zou Qingmei, who was sitting on Shen You's side, raised her head and said, the lines of her raised side face made Shen You, who turned his head when he heard the sound, move.
After hearing this, Zeng Hu snorted and said, "A thousand things? That's just a rumor! ”
"Oh? Is it? In that case, dare to ask Mr. Zeng, in your heart, whose item is this pious order? Shen You laughed after hearing this, and raised his head to Zeng Hu and asked.
Zeng Hu's face instantly became divine and solemn, and he clenched his fist in front of his chest and said, "This pious order is our tantric thing!" ”
"Oh? Is it? What are you doing with this tantra! If you say something like a Zen stick bowl or a wooden fish and a green lamp, maybe I'll believe it too, what kind of thing do you say that a tantric sect handed down a pious character order is? If so, can I say that this pious order is our ancestor! At that time, our ancestors followed Emperor Taizong to gallop on the battlefield, half a life, and finally Emperor Taizong thanked my ancestors for their loyalty, and specially gave my ancestors a pious order. Zou Qingmei spoke softly and tactfully, but she was heart-wrenching.
After all, Zou Qingmei also knew that when she received the summons and came to Zhongjing City at this moment, in the face of Shangzenghu, there was no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.
To Shen You's surprise, Zeng Hu didn't have any angry posture, just smiled slightly, and said to everyone: "Do you have any unclaimed ones?" After a slight pause, he continued: "Actually, the reason why we got everyone here today is to let everyone testify, everything can't be a courtesy, no matter who claims this thing, first of all, take out something that can convince everyone, if it can't convince everyone, then there is no need to jump out and be embarrassed!" ”
"Good! Take your evidence and I'll take a look at it first. Zou Qingmei pressed forward step by step, not retreating at all.
Zeng Hu ignored her aggressiveness, but continued: "You all know that Emperor Taizong had thirteen stick monks to level the territory ...... back then."
"Yes, we all know this, but the thirteen stick monks and fools all know that it is from the Shaolin Temple, why, when did your Tantra be merged into the Shaolin Temple?" Zou Qingmei interrupted.
Zeng Hu's eyes flashed, but he still restrained himself and said: "In front of so many heroes and heroes, let's talk about a historical case, if some people are afraid that the truth will come to light, they will naturally mess around, if someone wants to prove the owner of the pious order, then there will naturally be a special time to prove it." ”
Zeng Hu said this, basically blocking Zou Qingmei's way to interject again, after all, for Zou Qingmei, if she spoke again, I was afraid that Shen You would open her mouth for a while, and it would be unreasonable to be reasonable.
At that time, I remembered that the previous generation of Qianmen Fire General Shang Yingying once said that the pious word order was broken into eight pieces, including one piece of the monk's door, the Taoist gate, the Confucian gate, the beggar's door, and the bandit door, and the people in the thousand doors at that time had the most in their hands, and it has developed for thousands of years, according to the order in which Shen You got the jade tablets, one in Lu Tianxing's hand, one from Lu Fang's hand, and then two in Zeng Hu's hand, and when he heard Zeng Hu talk about Shaolin stick monks, he also vaguely felt that one of the two in Zeng Hu's hand must have been obtained by the monk's door. After all, at that time, there were Buddhism and Tantra in the monks, and no one could say which branch it had passed on. The other must have come from Confucianism, after all, as a spring city, not far from the Confucian family, the base camp of Confucianism, in the era of the decline of Confucianism, it is entirely possible to get the jade piece of Confucianism in his hands.
Out of the above four pieces, two pieces were obtained from the Shencheng Qinggang Long Jiutian, and Long Jiutian was intercepted from the Nalan family in Sijiu City, although there is no way to find out where these two jade pieces came from, and got one from the Nalan family, according to Nalan Banshan, the old man of Nalan, this Nalan family was obtained when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded and the Boxers made trouble in the capital, so nine times out of ten it should be a bandit. And to get the last one from Ning Yutang's hands, according to Shen You's thoughts, it must have been inherited from the predecessors of the Thousand Sects.
After straightening it out, Shen You already knew that during the period of time when Zeng Hu disappeared, he must have found some evidence to prove that the ancestors of Tantra had indeed obtained jade tablets at that time, and then extended it to prove that the entire pious word order was related to Tantra.
Just when he lowered his head and pondered, he only heard Zeng Hu continue: "Although the Shaolin stick monk fooled Emperor Taizong, but after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, it was not the Shaolin people who followed him into the palace to teach Buddhism, after all, in the war, the Shaolin Temple was also damaged, and the real lecture to Emperor Taizong was our tantric ancestor Mojiaye Zen Master, Mojiaye Zen Master was invited by the then imperial brother Xuanzang Master, and finally met Emperor Taizong proudly and was able to teach him Buddhism. ”
When he said this, he paused a little and then said: "Of course, there is no basis for what you say, there is our Tantric Aged Scroll as proof, if there are any objections from friends in the rivers and lakes later, you can ask me to check it." ”
"It doesn't make much sense to check or not, I just wonder, you have said so much, time has been involved thousands of years ago, what is it for?" Although he got the antidote, he still held back the fire in his heart, and it was easy to seize the opportunity, Nalan Changfeng asked Zeng Hu directly.
Zeng Hu smiled slightly and said: "To put it bluntly, this is a simple proof that the pious word order is our tantric thing. ”
"What about after proof?" Nalan Changfeng asked with a little disdain.
Zeng Hu's hands were slightly folded, and the whole body leaned forward slightly and said: "After proof, it is to get it back, and I also know that the pious word order has appeared, so I also hope that all fellow martial artists will be a witness." ”
"Humph!" Zou Qingmei, who was sitting next to Shen You, took the lead in letting out a disdainful snort, and Shen You also knew that the spearhead was already coming to him at this moment, so he immediately stood up and said unhurriedly to Zeng Hu in the face of everyone's gaze: "But Boss Zeng, you have come around in a circle, and the final spearhead is actually me?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just talking about things, not about a certain person." Zeng Hu's body leaned forward even more, revealing a look of respect that was difficult to hide, if it weren't for his dealings with him, Shen You would have almost been deceived by the compassionate and polite posture he showed.
Shen You said a little teasingly: "Boss Zeng, your ancestor said that this pious order is your tantric thing, but the key to unlocking the pious word order is Huzhou Zihao pen and Songhua inkstone, so did your ancestor say that these are also your tantric things?" ”
"A slap can't make a sound, and a chopstick can't hold a dish. Naturally, the things that are related to it must also be the things of our tantra. ”
If you had just said that, maybe everyone would have believed it, but Shen You had just answered Zeng Hu's question, which directly made everyone understand, but this Zeng Hu was directly in a posture of robbing, but he made a polite posture.
"Good! In this case, I won't tell you that the things are indeed in my hands, not only the pious word order, but also the Huzhou Zihao pen and Songhua inkstone, which are a lot. ”
"I hope Boss Shen will be successful." Zeng Hu is still polite.
"Oh, I haven't spoken yet, I want to say, the things are indeed in my hands, a lot, but I won't give it to you!" Shen You paused for a moment halfway through speaking, and then put away his laughing appearance and said.
The air calmed down at this moment, and the people sitting around except Zou Qingmei instantly made a posture of standing with Shen You, and the others were more or less gloating expressions.
After all, when it's not about you, it's natural to hang high.
"If Boss Shen is obsessed, I'm afraid that our tantric people may take some unconventional means." Zeng Hu seemed to say to himself.
"I know that wine has good wine, but there is no good feast, but so what?" Shen You still had a harmless smile on his face.
