Chapter 6: Nine Bells

"Naturally, this bell is not only for you, but there are actually seven other ones, for a total of nine in the world. If you want to talk about the origin of the bell, you have to start with Yao Guangxiao, he came from Wuxing Yao's family, that is, the family of Emperor Shun in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which is a famous royal family, which has flourished since the Han Dynasty, but Yao Guangxiao became a monk and became a monk called Daoyan. This person is a young monk, but does not practice Buddhism, Zen chanting scriptures are a waste of time for him, he worshiped a heaven and earth as a teacher, this person is the chairman of Pang Tian's vein, Yao Guangxiao followed Xi Yingzhen to study yin and yang, the art of war, celestial phenomena and other secret arts, and finally learned but Xi Yingzhen did not accept apprentices in his life, so he forgot that a major event is to worship the post. What is the worship post, that is, to submit the name of his apprentice to the Zhongzheng lineage, and every five years of the Zhongyuan Festival to visit the Zhongzheng lineage residence, after this ceremony can be regarded as a real heaven and earth person, but I don't know if Xi Yingzhen forgot or deliberately so, in short, no one knew the existence of Yao Guangxiao, until a man named Liuzhuang monk Yuan Heng happened to meet Yao Guangxiao in Songshan and said something in surprise: "What a monk!" The eyes are triangular, shaped like a sick tiger, and the sex will be murderous, and Liu Bingzhong is also flowing. This sentence further affirmed Yao Guangxiao's determination to do a great job and provoke the Yellow River to rebel against the world, and also foreshadowed Yao Guangxiao's character. It has been rumored that the three points of heaven, earth and man in the Central Plains and other places are fate qi, and their practice of various secret techniques is also the three points of fate qi, as long as one of them is three times higher than the other party, even if the other party thinks to death, they can't calculate the other party's fate. And Yuan Heng is already a famous fortune-teller, and his Tianxiang lineage is known for fortune-telling, so his skills are superb, but at this moment he is trying his best to see Yao Guangxiao's character. So when he said these words, he went to Beijing day and night to see the master of the Zhongzheng lineage at that time, that is, Mr. Shi's master, this person is named Chu Tianyang, he calculated and came to the conclusion that Yao Guangxiao must be opposed, so he worked hard to find Yao Guangxiao, and the two talked about it behind closed doors for many days, Chu Tianyang wanted to persuade Yao Guangxiao not to interfere in government politics and not to be involved in the disputes of the world. After a long conversation this night, Yao Guangxiao actually persuaded Chu Tianyang to do his best to assist King Yan, that is, Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, Chu Tianyang also awarded Yao Guangxiao the title of heaven and earth, and Yao Guangxiao officially became a heaven and earth man. ”

Zhu Qiyu listened attentively, and couldn't help interrupting the emperor's words and said: "Brother Huang, what does this have to do with our bell, you and I have been reading the deeds of Emperor Yongle since childhood, Yao Guangxiao is indeed an important minister of Emperor Yongle, but after all, he is a man of heaven and earth, this bell will not be harmful to us, right?" ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Virtuous brother, don't worry, after listening to me, although Yao Guangxiao is considered a member of the heavens and the earth, he is not happy to become a heaven, earth and earth. When the Yongle Emperor was in trouble, Yao Guangxiao used magic to attract demon winds at a critical juncture to help the Yongle Emperor defeat the enemy. After Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, Yao Guangxiao also persuaded Emperor Yongle to move the capital, and designed the eight-armed Nezha City, which is our Beijing, in order to suppress the dragon vein of China, so that our Ming Dynasty will last forever. The most important thing is that Yao Guangxiao regarded the Yongle Emperor as his best friend, so he designed the bell that you and I wear, every emperor knows this secret, and after I tell you today, you must remember not to pass it on. The bell is designed by Yao Guangxiao, in order to restrain the heavens and the earth to tell the emperor's fate, to prevent political speculation and support the new king to assist the vassal king to make trouble, the bell is embedded in one of the sixteen evil ghosts, Yao Guangxiao divided this evil ghost into nine parts, respectively inlaid in the nine bells, ordinary people can not calculate our Zhu royal lifeline, the profound heaven and earth people are also recorded, once they plot against us to calculate the royal fate of our family, the bell will vibrate, the day of the bell ringing, is the time when the heaven, earth and people are full of copied and beheaded. I hold a main bell, and the important vassal kings hold the auxiliary bell, which is also used to monitor the vassal kings, and as for how to monitor, it is ....."

Suddenly, Wang Zhen shouted on the bed: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest." Although Wang Zhen was stupid, he also knew that at this time it must involve heavenly opportunities, and he could not let Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, know that if he knew the law of surveillance, he would not be able to restrain the king of servants, so he interrupted Zhu Qizhen's gushing speech, this little emperor who was only sixteen years old did not know what to say and what not to say, after all, Wang Zhen was no longer young, he knew the stakes, and hurriedly stopped the emperor, from this point of view, although Wang Zhen bullied the soft and feared the hard, greedy for money is hateful, But it is not only because he is deeply respected and loved by the emperor that he is in power now, but also because he has mastered a little skill that many people can't learn in a lifetime, and he knows the current affairs.

The emperor didn't think of this truth, he was still too young after all, and he wanted to continue, Wang Zhen no longer stopped the emperor, but said to Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants: "Your Highness, it's time for the emperor to rest, please go back." "King Yu is also smart, at least smarter than his brother, and hurriedly bowed down to the emperor to retire, and then left the palace in a hurry.

Wang Zhen waited for the king to retreat, and then said sternly to the emperor: "This matter is about whether you can sit firmly on the throne and your net worth and life, how can you tell others so easily, and you are not allowed to mention it in the future, even I can't know." Do you hear clearly? The emperor was watched by Wang Zhen since he was a child, and Wang Zhen also served as the emperor's companion and supervised the emperor's reading, so the emperor has always called this eunuch "Mr. Wang". Although he thought that Wang Zhen was making a big fuss at the moment, he still replied respectfully: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, the widow has taken it to heart." ”

Wang Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the emperor, although he had covered the sky with one hand, did whatever he wanted in the court, and killed a lot of Zhongliang, but the only thing he didn't want to kill was the young man in front of him, this young man was not the emperor in front of him, but a child who grew up from a young age, he even took care of Zhu Qizhen as his own son, he couldn't help but meditate in his heart: Zhu Qizhen, child, you must grow up quickly, I will try my best to assist you.

Although he thought so, Wang Zhen's character flaws and lack of resourcefulness led to the ups and downs in the future, so much so that he harmed the emperor Zhu Qizhen in front of him.

After Lu Yunzhi entered the mansion, he was arranged into a small house, which had a bunk with four pillows and four sets of bedding. In addition to the bed, there are also four tables in the room, on which are full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, seeing these stationery, Lu Yunzhi's eyes shine, he knows that he has another chance to read. But what puzzled him was that in addition to the normal rice paper, there was a pile of yellow table paper neatly placed on the table, this kind of paper Lu Yunzhi knew that it was burned to the dead during the Ghost Festival in the Middle Yuan. But what is the use of this paper on the desk now? Lu Yunzhi thought suspiciously, after entering the door of the house, Mr. Shi handed Lu Yunzhi to a thin man, the man looked about thirty-four or five, the tall and thin face seemed to have no expression at all, but the two eyes showed a sparkle in it, making it impossible to look at him, Lu Yunzhi was no exception He was a little afraid of this man, although this man did not say a word to Lu Yunzhi.
