Chapter 320: Talking about gold and heart
ββ The Taishi told everyone about an experience he had twenty years ago, explaining why he would take the initiative to ask to go on a tour this time.
At noon, Zhan Zhao and the others gathered in the private room of Taibai Ju to eat, and while eating, they discussed things about Evil Feather and Red Cherry Valley.
Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun with some curiosity, "Are there any gods or demons with feathers?" β
Gongsun touched his chin, "...... with feathers and a human body"
Xiao Sizi raised his hand, "Birdman? β
Gongsun picked up a bun and stuffed his mouth, "Don't swear!" β
"Red Cherry Valley, and Evil Feather ......" Yin Hou held his chin, "I haven't heard Lan Ci mention it...... The goblins who were in the mountains two hundred years ago still eat people? What is it? Mountain Demon? β
Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that something was wrong with this story.
At this time, Pang Yu was heard sighing.
And all the people turned their faces to look at him.
Bao Yan looked at him, "What's wrong with you?" β
Pang Yu shook his head with a chicken wing, "Of course it's wrong!" β
"What's wrong?" And all the people looked at him.
"The problem is...... No good at all! Pang Yu touched his chin and thought deeply.
"What's not good?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.
Pang Yu looked at the sky, "Wow...... The first day you met my father, huh? When have you ever seen my dad take the initiative to run to a dangerous place? β
Everyone was stunned and looked at each otherβas if ......
"Unless it's a big benefit or some special reason." Pang Yu held his chin and squinted his eyes, "You think, my father is thinking about Xiangxiang now, even if you give him a lot of silver to let him spend less time with Xiangxiang, he won't be." My father has money and power, and immortality is not his style, he also said before that as long as Gongsun is here, it is estimated that he will have no problem living to the age of ninety, and it is enough to live to the age of ninety...... So ......"
Everyone felt that it made sense, so they asked Pang Yu together, "What do you think your father is hiding from him?" β
"Hmm." Pang Yu nodded, "With what I know about my father, there should be something important for him not to say!" β
Everyone stared at Pang Yu.
"Nothing." Pang Yu was not in a hurry, "Since my father dares to go with Master Bao, it means that it is not a matter of corruption and perversion of the law, and it is estimated that it is a private matter." β
Everyone nodded.
"Perhaps...... There were a lot of people just now, so the master was embarrassed to say it? Zhao Pu asked.
Everyone thought about it and looked at each otherβsomething that the Taishi couldn't say......
"Is it a relationship problem?" Gongsun suddenly had a little bit of gossip.
"Feelings?" Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "That's right, twenty years ago, Taishi was still young. β
"My dad wants to find an old lover?" Pang Yu tilted his head, "There's no reason, my father has married seven, and my seven mothers are also very good, if you like it, take it home, no matter what her identity is." β
"What about the married woman?" Lin Yehuo suddenly said.
The crowd opened their mouths wide.
Pang Yu was also shocked, "Isn't it......"
"Will there be any children?" Bai Yutang poked again.
Again, the crowd opened their mouths wide.
"Bastard?!" Pang Yu covered his mouth, and then hugged his arm, "Isn't it...... That old man was so unreliable when he was young? β
"Sneeze ......"
In the courtyard in front of Lord Bao's room, Pang Taishi, who was holding a rice bowl, turned his face and sneezed.
Mr. Bao took a chopstick dish to eat, and said, "What? What have you done? β
Taishi's eyes widened, chewing on the food and muttering, "I don't know what you say." β
Master Bao laughed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the spoon and drank the soup, "It's okay if you lie to others, even I want to be blind?" β
The Taishi glanced at him, and his expression seemed to be a little weak.
Master Bao pointed at him with a spoon, "You dead fat man can't afford to be early, you will be so good, in order to catch some monster to run on an adventure?" At most, you can tell me to let me investigate, and when the investigation is clear, tell you the result, and then you will also come to the credit to get the light, and if there is a risk, you will hide away. β
Taishi stiffened his face, "Hey, I said sunspots, we can be regarded as having tribulations together, don't talk about me, I'm so unrighteous." β
"Less nonsense!" Bao Zhengbai said to him, "You explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't want to take you this time!" β
"You ......" Taishi didn't hesitate for a long time, sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked around.
Lord Bao seems to have specially separated everyone, even Mrs. Bao was eating with Hong Jiuniang in the courtyard, hiding far away, and they were the only ones in this courtyard.
Taishi lowered his voice and said, "Heizi, do you remember that I was the emperor's guard for a while?" β
Master Bao nodded, Pang Ji was a clever ghost when he was young, not only smart, but also accurate, the first emperor liked him quite a lot, otherwise he would not always be called into the palace, which directly led to Pang Ji taking the young Concubine Pang into the palace, and Zhao Zhen became a childhood sweetheart.
When the first emperor was in poor health, he let Pang Ji be a guard by his side, in fact, he secretly ordered him to do a lot of things, although Pang Ji was not good at kung fu but he was able to do things, in other words, the most secret of the first emperor was Pang Ji.
Taishi looked left and right again, made sure that there was no one, dragged the stool to Bao Zheng's side, took out something from his arms, and put it in front of Lord Bao's eyes, "Take a look." β
Master Bao looked down and saw that Pang Ji took out a gold seal, the size of a palm, with no words on it, only a pattern engraved. This pattern is very strange, it is a person, but the form of the person is very abstract, and there are feathers underneath, which seems to be a bird's tail...... In general, it looks like a bird that is turning into a human, or a person who is becoming a bird.
Lord Bao took it and looked at it, frowning slightly, making sure that he hadn't seen it, so he looked at Pang Ji.
Taishi coughed and leaned into Bao Zheng's ear, "What is Yin Hou's real name, do you know the way?" β
Master Bao was stunned, frowning and looking at Pang Ji, "What does it have to do with Yin Hou?" β
"Yin Hou is not surnamed Yin at all, the reason why he is called Yin Hou is because he is the Hou Ye, and then his father is the hereditary Eagle King, who was originally supposed to be the Eagle Hou, but many people don't know the true meaning of the word Lu Dao, in order to cover up his identity, so he simply took the surname Yin." Taishi Dao.
Lord Bao frowned deeply at this time, and looked at Pang Ji, "Eagle King...... Which Eagle King? β
"The one with the same surname!" Taishi raised his eyebrows, "Very, very rare compound surname!" β
Master Bao gasped, "I see...... No wonder Xuanyuan Po can use Zhanzhao's identity to threaten Bai Yutang, it turns out that this is the case...... Do you know what to do with the guards? β
Taishi shook his head.
"However......" Lord Bao's mood calmed down a little at this time, "It's been so long, and the relationship between Yin Hou and Zhan Guards and the emperor is ...... now" said, Lord Bao looked at the prince, "Does the emperor know about this?" β
Taishi shrugged his shoulders, "Then it's not possible, I think eighty percent is Zhilu Dao, but you also know, who can guess the emperor's thoughts?" β
"The emperor shouldn't be embarrassed to protect and wait......" Lord Bao frowned.
"You said you sunspot, why are you stupid at a critical moment?" Taishi shook his head, "Zhan Zhao and Yin Hou are such rare talents, how many people did Zhan Zhao bring to Kaifeng Mansion?" Bai Yutang, Tianzun, the entire Demon Palace, what kind of great benefit is this? The emperor is such a shrewd person, how can he let this secret be made public, only bad things and no good things he has done! β
Master Bao nodded and looked at Pang Ji, "Could it be that the first emperor once wanted to deal with Yin Hou?" β
Taishi shook his head and said, "You don't believe it, since Taizu's generation, there has been a family motto, and you must not harm the descendants of the Eagle King." β
Master Bao was surprised, "There is such a thing?" β
Taishi nodded, "It's true." β
Master Bao seemed confused, "For what?" β
Taishi spread his hands, that means - in the future, when we die, we can ask Taizu when we see him.
Master Bao stretched out his hand and picked up the gold seal, looked at it, and asked, "Could this be the token of the Eagle King back then?" β
Taishi Wangtian rolled his eyes, "Of course not." β
Master Bao sighed, and wanted to kick the Taishi, "Then you talked about it for a long time, and I was nervous to death, what does it have to do with the Eagle King and the Zhan Guard?" β
"This token is called the Evil Feather Order." Taishi said, "Evil Feather is an evil god that was worshiped in the era of the Eagle King about one hundred and fifty to two hundred years ago. β
After all, Master Bao is well-versed in the past, he thought for a while, "Hmm...... It was a troubled time, and I hadn't heard of Evil Feather, but there were a lot of weird sects rampant back then! β
"That's right." Taishi snapped his fingers, "It's the sect!" β
Master Bao looked at the Grand Master, "Evil Feather is a sect? β
"Hmmm! A sect that controls people's hearts, quite an evil sect! Taishi said, "It is dedicated to the god of evil feathers." β
"Oh......" This time, Master Bao understood completely, "I said that you were a big official in Dali Temple back then, and there was no reason to go to a small county town to investigate corrupt officials, it turned out that the emperor secretly gave you a task to investigate the Evil Feather Sect." β
Taishi nodded, "This token was copied by the big greed back then, when Liu Tian, the prefect of Tianfu, raided his house!" β
"So you suspect that Liu Tian has something to do with the Evil Feather Sect back then?"
Taishi then nodded, "I went to investigate by secret order, but...... What I told you before, including dreaming of evil feathers and so on, is true. β
Master Bao frowned, "Are you saying that you dreamed of the Evil Feather at night, and it was influenced by the Evil Feather Sect?" β
Master Pang nodded.
"But why didn't you investigate after that?" Master Bao was puzzled, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh...... At that time, the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. β
"No, no one has arranged for me to investigate this matter after that, and you know it, and I've been getting busier and busier since then." Taishi took a sip of tea.
"I talked about it for a long time." Master Bao still felt that he couldn't connect, "What does Evil Feather have to do with Zhan's life experience?" β
Taishi sighed, "In those years of the Evil Feather Sect, there were countless believers, but then it suddenly destroyed the sect overnight, do you know the reason for the Dao?" β
"Oh......" Master Bao remembered, "back then, the sects were rampant, all kinds of defrauding the people of money, making a miasma, the Eagle King slaughtered the seven sects, and cut off the heads of the seven largest cults of the year, and during the time he was in power, these sects were eradicated, and the subsequent dynasties were all peaceful." β
Taishi raised his eyebrows, "You actually know the Dao?" β
Master Bao sighed, "I am a scholar of Longtuge University, although some things are blocked from the news and not mentioned in various official histories, there are still some in secret histories." It's no wonder that no one has ever doubted the identity of Yin Hou, the section of the Eagle King back then, Taizu didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and the historians were not allowed to record it in the history books, and the people who wrote the books were not allowed to mention it, so they deliberately erased that paragraph. So much so that now many people know that Chai Rong knows Li Yu, but no one knows the existence of the Eagle King, hey......"
Taishi nodded and stretched out a finger, "It's a pity that the seven major sects have slaughtered all the demons, but only one has escaped." β
"People from the Feather Cult?" Bao Zheng asked.
"That's right, son of the leader of the Feather Sect." Taishi said, "Back then, he fled in all directions, and after the most Lu fell ill, he committed suicide. β
"Suicide?" Lord Bao frowned and looked at the evil feather order.
"According to the secret history in the hands of the former emperor and the results of years of secret investigations, before that person died, he issued the last evil feather order, that is, to kill all the descendants of the Eagle King." Taishi sighed, "But back then, the number of evil feather qi was exhausted, and I haven't seen it for many years, but I didn't expect that after all these years, it would resurrect." β
After hearing this, Master Bao frowned, "What news did you get, someone will trouble Yin Hou and Zhan's guards?" β
Taishi smiled, "In these years, the trouble can't wait to come to the door to deal with it, you should solve the trouble before the trouble comes to the door!" β
Master Bao smiled and looked at Pang Ji, "So, you went out on patrol this time to show your guards and wait." β
"That's it!" Taishi patted his chest, "I'm a person who values feelings, and you know the way!" I see Zhanzhao as a son and nephew, and if someone wants to be unfavorable to him, the old man naturally wants to help, Ha Lu Ha...... Oops! β
Taishi was laughing, and he didn't watch out for Master Bao and grabbed his beard and pulled him deadly.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts...... Kuroko, don't pull it off, it's ugly! Taishi hurriedly protected his chin.
Master Bao glared at him, "This mansion will give you the last chance, do you recruit or not?!" β
"Alright, alright!" The Taishi was out of luck, sighed, saved his beard from Master Bao, and said helplessly, "When the seven major sects were wiped out, all their wealth was gathered together, guess how much?" β
Master Bao was stunned, "It should be a lot, right?" β
"What's more!" Taishi raised his eyebrows and pointed to his head, "The Eagle King is also very characterful, he asked the craftsman to use all the gold to create a million golden skulls!" β
Master Bao was stunned, and then opened his mouth rarely, "A million ......"
Taishi pointed to his head again, "The kind that is comparable to a human skull!" A million! β
Taishi said, "I have people use gold to build a pure gold human head, and such a head needs six catties and four taels of gold, that is, one hundred taels of gold!" β
"Isn't that a million ......" Master Bao was surprised, "10,000 taels of gold?!" β
"Back then, this wealth had just been built, but there was a war on the way to transport it, and it was gone!" Taishi said, "But the sunspot ......"
Master Bao frowned and looked at Pang Ji.
"I dreamed that night, that evil feather was standing on a large number of skeletons...... "Taishi narrowed his eyes slightly, "those skeletons are golden!" β
Master Bao finally understood, and pointed to the Taishi, "Sure enough, it's for money!" β
"Hey, yes!" Taishi waved his hand, but he was very calm, "I said Lao Bao, I don't lack money, it doesn't matter to the old man if I have more or less, besides, if I get this kind of wealth back, it will be a disaster of killing, who wants it!" The old man just wanted to see with his own eyes how spectacular these million golden skeletons were when they were placed together! β
Master Bao looked at him speechlessly.
"Kuroko, think about it!" Taishi hugged his arm and pouted Bao Zheng, "Ten thousand taels of gold!" There are only 10,000 people in my Great Song Dynasty! Everyone gets a tael of gold! β
Master Bao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The Taishi smiled and asked Master Bao, "This year's Chinese New Year, the emperor will give gold to the people of the world!" One person and one tael of gold! Which emperor in the world has ever done such a thing? What a face! Haha......"
Master Bao was also amused by the Taishi, and just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone behind him say, "Wow...... That should check out! β
"Yes! 10,000,000 taels, more than the silver in the warehouse of the Yutang family! β
Taishi and Master Bao were startled, turned around suddenly, and saw that Zhanzhao and them had all returned, and everyone gathered behind them to listen with relish.
Master Bao and Taishi opened their mouths wide and said in unison, "When did you come?" β
Everyone blinked, "It started when the Eagle King asked someone to build a million golden skeletons. β
Master Bao and Taishi glanced at Yin Hou behind Zhan Zhao, and saw that Yin Hou was looking at them with slanted eyes, the two of them subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and heard Zhan Zhao ask, "Who is the Eagle King?" β
"Oh......" Taishi hurriedly said, "A big hero in the troubled times at the end of the Tang Dynasty!" β
"Hmm!" Master Bao also added on the side, "That's a peerless talent!" The material of the emperor through the ages! β
"Ever been an emperor?" Zhan Zhao scratched his head and recalled that there was no such dynasty as the Eagle King.
"Ahem." Taishi smiled and said, "That Xiang Yu didn't become an emperor either, is he also a big hero!" β
"Oh......" Zhanzhao nodded.
Taishi saw Yin Hou squinting at him, and hurriedly patted his ass, "Of course, the Eagle King threw out Xiang Yu's nine streets!" β
Mr. Bao agreed, "Yes, it's still a long street like Nantian Street!" β
Everyone touched their chins and thought about how far the nine Nantian Streets were, who did Xiang Yu provoke?
Only Bai Yutang and Tianzun looked at Pang Taishi a little speechlessly-Xiang Yu was hit by an arrow for no reason, it was really a disaster.
Taishi smiled awkwardly and looked at Bao Zheng.
Master Bao smiled and waved the sleeves of his robe, "Okay, prepare in the afternoon, rest well in the evening, we will set off tomorrow before dawn!" β
