Sixty-five

This land temple was actually enshrined in the Hongyang Sect's lifeless old mother, and Yue Xiang was really taken aback. But it's a relief to think about it, Gao Huai himself is a member of the Hongyang Sect, and it's not strange to build this temple. Moreover, it is still in this kind of deep mountain, which is rarely visited, and even if it is seen by the mountain people by mistake, they may not know that this statue is a fairy.

"I said why is this great immortal so strange......" After answering casually, Yue Xiang came to the spirit again, "According to this, then this temple must have been built by Gao Huai, and it seems that this is the landmark of Gao Huai's gold." ”

Now that it was confirmed, the rest of the matter was simple, and the five of them began to search around in this small space, and they did not let go of every suspicious wall crack, wooden tree, and floor tile, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing, and the only thing left was the golden body of the lifeless old mother erected on the shrine.

"It's not going to tear down the house, is it?" Yue Xiang said and stared at the statue of the lifeless old mother, this golden body is about three meters high, even if it is now full of dust and dust, you can vaguely see the exquisite colored carvings on the body, it can be seen that a lot of work was put into the original plastic body.

"I wonder if there's a name for myself down here." Wang Yining sat on the side with his feet in his hands, pointed to the statue and said. At this point, no one will give up, seeing that if he is not incapacitated now, he will go up and push away the evil god and find out.

Ma Sandao circled around the statue of the lifeless old mother a few times, rubbed it and jumped up, first knocked and touched the statue of the god, touched every part of the body again, confirmed that there was no moving joint, and then pushed it hard, the statue just shook slightly, and it seemed that the weight was obviously not light. Li Shoucai and Yue Xiang also went up to help, and the three of them worked hard at the same time, this lifeless old mother statue was quite solid, dead and heavy, and the lotus throne under him was integrated, although it was gradually crooked, but it was difficult to overthrow it.

"His grandmother's, this mud tire is pretty heavy." Ma Sandao spent a long time to no avail, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He cursed in his mouth, turned around and picked up the Pu knife from the ground, and turned his back to the head of the statue with the knife to hit it hard, and the mud crumbs that were smashed flew wildly, and the face of the lifeless old mother collapsed into a crack.

Yue Xiang saw Ma Sandao firing his bow left and right, smashing and slashing in a few strokes, and in a few strokes, he had already made only half of the god's head look out of shape, and he was a little speechless, and said strangely: "Isn't this the immortal you worship in the White Lotus Sect?" How can you say smash it, do you want this faith anymore? ”

Ma Sandao pursed his lips and said, "What about believing it, is it difficult to let it sit on it all the time?" If it is convenient for me, I will believe it, and if I am troubled, what shall I do by believing it? Besides, this is just a wooden clay sculpture, and if it is a true god? Besides, what we worship in the red seal is the ancestor of the righteous gods, and this lifeless old mother is the evil god made up by the Luojiao Demon Book and Hongyang's distorted interpretation of the treasure scriptures and holy scriptures, so what if you smash it!? I want to set it on fire! With another click, a large piece of his shoulder collapsed.

It turned out that this was the so-called belief of these White Lotus Sect disciples, Yue Xiang had a feeling of crying and laughing, so he also drew his weapon to join the ranks. Although the weight of the statue is heavy, but it is a clay body, it cannot be smashed by a sharp steel weapon, and after a while, half of the body is scattered, and even the lotus throne under it is broken by a small half.

"Okay, it's cut in half, let's see if this evil god can still sit." Saying that, the three of them resisted the force, shook wildly, and the lotus seat of the clay sculpture shattered, lost its center of gravity, and finally fell to the ground. At the same time, there was a metallic sound, and an iron chain at the bottom of the clay sculpture was revealed from the ground.

"Hahaha, there's a mechanism!" When you see the iron chain, even the stupid person knows that there is a cat in it. Yue Xiang immediately grabbed the iron chain, which was attached to the base of the clay sculpture at one end, and under the ground at the other, and did not know where it led; The body of the chain is as thick as a child's arm, and it is stained with rust.

The other four immediately gathered around to watch, each with excitement on their faces. After suffering so much, now I finally see the light of hope. Wang Yining, regardless of the pain of lameness, also leaned over to take a closer look, but saw that there seemed to be a hole in the ground where the lotus throne was pressing, and the iron chain led to the ground, which should be connected to something below.

Li Shoucai dug up the ground under the original lotus seat, and it turned out that it was covered with a layer of soil more than two feet thick, which had been pressed to porcelain all year round, just like the land. Underneath was a large rusty iron plate, like the door of a hole in the ground, and the iron chain peeked through the hole in the door.

"This seems to be a secret room, what should I do?" Ma Sandao's eyes radiated an eager light, as if behind this iron gate was a mountain of gold and silver. In fact, everyone present knew that this time it was their time to operate, but then they faced a problem that had to be solved.

"What if the treasure is really hidden under this iron plate?"

Yue Xiang's words made Ma and Li also stop moving, this is the case in front of them, although these two people were born and died together with him, but their motives were very clear from the beginning, and if they didn't make it clear in advance, they would have something dirty if they didn't do it well later. Yue Xiang's physical strength recovery was not enough, but the two of them were the same, and it was not certain who would have the upper hand if they really made a move.

Ma and Li glanced at each other and asked Yue Xiang, "Our brother has something unclear, and I hope that the adults will teach us." ”

"If you have anything to say, just ask."

"If you have this treasure, what will you do with it?"

"It's none of your business, but I'll tell you. Now that the Jianzhou Jurchens are in turmoil in Liaodong, I think they will become the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, if they are not eradicated in time, it will be difficult to tell the story of the re-enactment of the Song Dynasty in the north. I, Yue Xiang, am a Han man, and I am still wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, so I can't just watch the blood of the Central Plains flow into a river in the future, although I haven't thought about how to use this money yet, but it must definitely be used to deal with Tartars. All of my hundreds of brothers died under the iron hooves of the Tartars, and they will not avenge this revenge and swear not to be human. ”

Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai didn't expect Yue Xiang to give such an answer, and they couldn't help but talk to each other.

According to their understanding of Yue Xiang, this person is definitely a bold and unruly guy, and judging from his recent performance, he seems to have some flavor of a hero in troubled times. I thought that he would get this windfall, and he would definitely want to stand on his own and show his strength, but he didn't expect to say such words that worried about the country and the people, which is really surprising.

"Could it be that Lord Fei wants to use this money as a capital to invest in the imperial court to get a high position? In the future, the marquis will worship the generals, open the border and level the domain, and will not make the famous generals of the Han and Tang dynasties specialize in the front? ”

"Joke, this money is now given to the imperial court, and it's not a meat bun beating a dog and never going back. Now this bastard court is not worth my life for that faint king. I just want to wait until someone who can really deal with the Tartars appears, and then I will take the money out. Now none of these generals sent by the imperial court to Liaodong are Nurhachi's opponents, and giving them is equivalent to giving them for nothing. ”

The two of them were even more curious, just now they said how to be an official of the court, and now they are scolding the bastard court, because they don't know what this person is thinking in his head. Is it lying to cover yourself?

"Adults haven't thought about setting up their own door? Make your own business? ”

"Hehe, you don't need to test me with words, to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu thought like this before. But when I look at the current situation, I realize that things are not as simple as I thought. My family knows my own affairs, and I know whether I am that piece of material or not. ”

Yue Xiang told the truth, how difficult it is to start a business from scratch, and the ambition when he first arrived here has long been eroded with the various realities he has personally experienced. He inherited the power and property of the Yue family, but now he has been tossed by him almost out, and he is the general leader of hundreds of people, so that he has an inexhaustible heart, which fully shows that the simple four words of self-reliance are definitely not as simple as written in the novel.

In these years, it's not that you can gather a large number of followers by just going there and exuding the following kingly atmosphere, ordinary soldiers only know how to eat food and become soldiers, and whoever pays them will listen to whomever they want, and if they don't eat or drink, see who follows you.

"I see, the adult wants to be Xiao He. I don't know who the adults think is today's Liu Bang? ”

"As far as I know, the person I like hasn't appeared yet......" Yue Xiang couldn't help but hesitate a little when he said this. Liaodong Xiongsun Yuan Sanjie only emerged in the government and the opposition after the defeat of Sahu Xu, and now Yang Hao is in power in Liaodong, unless he falls, those three people don't want to come out. But do you just sit back and watch Yang Hao's failure and do nothing? If the treasure he found could help him, would you like to help him?

Perhaps the opportunity to change history is at this moment, once Yang Ho really wins, how will history develop? Maybe the Ming Dynasty will still be able to exist in the future, but in the face of today's corruption situation, an easy victory may not be able to make the Ming Dynasty wake up, and it is difficult to ensure that a Jurchen will not disappear and then emerge from a few foreign races, what should I do at that time?

Moreover, Yue Xiang is even more worried about whether history can be changed so easily.

Even if he helps Yang Ho, what if he still loses the battle? Seeing the current situation of the Ming army, it is really like a pile of mud that can't support the wall, even if they are given sufficient food, even if they are given sophisticated weapons and equipment, but an army that lacks fighting spirit and training can win the fierce Jurchen Eight Banners is really bottomless.

He had seen with his own eyes the high degree of organization and discipline of the Eight Banners Army, and the invincible combat effectiveness, probably the Mongol cavalry of Genghis Khan's era, which once shocked the world.

Seriously, he didn't think from the bottom of his heart that the current Ming army was the opponent of this army, at least the Ming army that came out of Yang Hao** would definitely not be an opponent. Because the vast majority of people still don't know what kind of opponent they are facing, it is not a group of savage barbarians in the barren mountains outside the fortress, but probably the most powerful field cavalry group on the planet at the same time.

He is really conflicted now, he doesn't want to sit back and watch the Ming army fail, but he doesn't want to contribute easily. If it was Sun Chengzong or General Yuan who was in charge of the army now, maybe he would have made a move, but Yang Hao ......

In that case, what the Lord said was nothing more than empty words. If the person who is loved by adults does not appear in this life, will this treasure sleep here forever? Ma Sandao frowned, feeling that Yue Xiang's words were really incomprehensible. desperately did not hesitate to bankrupt his family, did not hesitate to bury a group of elite soldiers who had worked hard to pull up, and also found Gao Huai to hide gold, but found it but did nothing, only to make dowries for others, is it because of a brain disease?

"I know it will happen, unless it ......" Yue Xiang lowered his head and groaned, his tone suddenly became impatient: "Am I talking about empty words, what is your?" I've already answered the questions you asked me, and I don't need to explain so much to you, even if this treasure sleeps here, it's better than falling into the hands of you White Lotus Sects. ”

"My lord, our Red Envelope Society and the White Lotus Sect are not one family, don't mix them up......

"Nonsense! You say it's not a family, it's not a family? I think it's pretty much the same! It's not that you're pretending to be a god and deceiving those ignorant people, you're still messing with the ancestors, if you have the ability, you can call the ancestors out for me to see! Can you call it? Who knows what you're going to do with this money? Is it possible to pull the flag and rebel again, and the war is together, and it is not the people who suffer? ”

"My lord seems to have a misunderstanding of our Red Seal Society, our Red Seal Society has been preaching in Gyeonggi for a generation, and has never defrauded the people of their property, but only helped the poor and helped the world, which has a good reputation. I don't believe that the adults have the opportunity to come to us and inquire, we ......"

"Okay, don't give me nonsense. Since you see through the red dust and are indifferent to fame and fortune, why were you sent by Concubine Zheng to assassinate Prince Changluo. You can see that you have other plans, you have to deceive others, you don't have to tell me so much. Even if you really spread the gospel and help the world, it has nothing to do with me, we are not on the same path. Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

"Your Excellency's words are wrong, just now your Excellency said that you can't bear to see the people of the Central Plains suffering, which is quite consistent with the actions of our Red Envelope Society, how to go is not the same road." Ma Sandao saw that Yue Xiang was very desperate, and there was almost no room for turnaround, and he was also a little anxious.

"I'm mainly here to deal with the Jurchens, how are I going all the way with you? I will make it clear today, I am determined to get this Gaohuai Tibetan gold, and I will never have your share, if you want to rob me, you will see the real chapter under your hands. "When he said that he was putting on a posture, he was ready to make a move.

Ma and Li's faces turned red and white, and they had thought that Yue Xiang would not let go easily, but it really embarrassed them to say it so recklessly. After all, they had been born and died together on the battlefield, and it seemed that Yue Xiang had always been wary of them. But they had no intention of going against him, they knew how capable Yue Xiang was, and it was really not a wise move to turn against him with the current state of the two of them. Moreover, although they are members of an underground sect like the Red Seal Society, their behavior is basically relatively upright, not as despicable and insidious as the cult demons are rumored outside. Although Yue Xiang turned his face ruthlessly, these days he saw that he was fighting to the death with Tartar without fear, and the two of them admired him a lot and didn't want to do anything with him.

“…… Isn't it true that the adults are determined to win the gold against Gao Huai? After being silent for a long time, Li Shoucai finally held back a sentence.

"Nonsense!" Yue Xiang had a premonition that he might be going to use force, and he was ready, his physical recovery was quite amazing, and now he felt that most of his physical strength had recovered. But unexpectedly, Ma and Li spread their hands and gave up easily.

"That being the case, then the two of them will not fight with the adults in this Gao Huai Tibetan gold, but please also make an oath with the adults, and we are willing to swear a poisonous oath not to take half of the gold and silver goods in the Gao Huai Tibetan gold; But for things other than money, please don't ask about them, and the next two will be on other things...... It's also a must-win! ”
