sixty-six

The sun is falling westward, and the mountains and forests are gradually darkening; In the ruined temple, the atmosphere was condensed for a while.

Yue Xiang and the other three all thought that this matter could not be stopped, but after hearing the suggestion of Ma and Li, he hesitated for a while. In all fairness, he didn't want to turn his face with these two, after all, they had fought side by side on the battlefield, and if they didn't have the uneasy identity of the White Lotus Sect, Yue Xiang would even treat them as comrades-in-arms who could trust their lives.

But who knows what their intentions are? Listening to the tone of these two people, it seems that there are some unknown secrets in this Gao Huai hidden gold, could it be that these two guys are trying to divert the attention of others? What's going on, and what do they mean?

"You two don't pretend to be forced here, you have worked hard all these years, don't you just want to find Gao Huai's hidden gold? Now that you have found it, you can give up so easily, who are you fooling? Don't you want to stabilize me with words first, and then plot against me. ”

"It's so unreasonable for the adults to say this, I know that the adults have always been uneasy about the two of us, and it is no wonder that the imperial court is prejudiced against us and us, saying that we are a cult. It is true that some scum swindlers have been deceived and deceived under the banner of missionary service, and as a result, even good people like us have been brought with them a bad reputation. But please think about it, if we want to be bad for adults, why did we show up just now? Wouldn't it be better to just sit back and wait for the adults and the Tartars to fight and lose and then come out and make a profit? ”

Yue Xiang had nothing to say, thinking that it was indeed the case just now.

"I've been by my side all these days, and I admire them very much when I see what they do. Dealing with the Tartars is where the national righteousness lies, although the adults are the officials of the court, but they are not those corrupt officials who oppress the people. To tell the truth, if all the officials in the world are like adults, why should we risk being accused of rebellion to secretly preach? ”

Li Shoucai peeked at Yue Xiang's face as he spoke, but saw that his expression seemed to be loosened, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, so he glanced at Ma Sandao and motioned for him to continue.

"Although we are not scholars and scholars, we grew up drinking the water of the Yellow River. The defense of the Han Yi still understands, seeing that the Jurchen Tartars of Liaodong are so inhumane, as the adults said, once they become the climate, the millions of compatriots outside the pass will suffer. Since the adults are determined to fight against such beasts to the end, how can we be stubborn in such a big matter here, so what if this Gao Huai Tibetan Gold is given to the adults. ”

Ma and Li said a great reason, and Yue Xiang almost didn't believe his ears. How do these two guys seem to be different people? Is it really a discovery of conscience? Is it possible?

"What did you two say...... Is it true? ”

"What? Isn't it true that adults can't trust us? Do you think that all of us in this 'cult' are selfish people? Shouldn't anyone be able to say that? Adults must be too underestimating me, so I waited. ”

"How do you believe I'm telling the truth? Maybe I got the treasure of Gao Huai Tibetan Gold, and if I find a place to be a rich man, I will be rich and prosperous for a few lifetimes, and I may not be able to use this money to fight Tartar? You are not afraid that I will coax you by saying this. Yue Xiang's face did not change, still staring at the actions of the two, but the tip of the knife pointed at them slowly drooped.

"Haha, my lord laughed, what are we doing. It's not boasting, we have been preaching for decades, and what we usually rely on is the four-character key to observing words and colors, and the number of readers in our lives is tens of thousands, who hasn't seen it? The man stood in front of us, and we couldn't say a few words before we could see him as a ****. There was a determined look in the eyes of the adults when they spoke just now, and the feelings brought out by the tone of the voice were definitely from the heart, and when I talked about the Jurchen Tartars, I could feel the anger and murderous aura emanating from the adults, which was not pretending to be able to pretend. If I'm not even wrong about that, I'll gouge out the eyeballs myself. ”

Yue Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw that what these two people said was categorical and confident, he really admired them a little in his heart. It seems that it is not so easy to be a god, and their ability to observe words and colors is really a masterpiece.

"Besides, if the ambition of an adult is really as simple as being a squire and a rich man, then why should he sell his property and organize a righteous social militia, wouldn't it be safer to stay at home honestly? In the face of the Tartars' sword mountain and arrow rain, the adults still dare to ride alone to break the formation, and in the face of a heroic figure like Huang Taiji who leads thousands of troops and horses, he still dares to go to the meeting alone, knowing that we are the imperial court and the demons who want to commit cults, and as the official of the imperial court, he still dares to openly scold the imperial court unscrupulously, this kind of courage is simply rare in the world. How can they be satisfied with the ambition of a mere rich man? ”

Yue Xiang was completely speechless, it was undeniable that these two guys did have something special. The analysis of other people's psychological analysis is really in place, and it is almost better than those who engage in pyramid schemes in the previous generation, but it does not mean that he will be convinced. In this deep mountain and old forest, isolated from the outside world, he really can't be careless.

"What if I have the ambition to be a Kunpeng? But I still can't believe that you would give up Gaohuai Zangjin so easily. ”

"We can swear hereby that if we lie anything, we will be condemned to the eternal hell after death, burned by the fire of karma forever, and we will not be reborn for eternity." Saying that, the two of them really made a solemn oath. It's a pity that this kind of thing may work for others, but for Yue Xiang, it is like a breeze blowing, and the impact is almost negligible.

"I said a long time ago that I don't believe in this kind of oath at all, people don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't believe you even if you give me a hundred oaths here, what I need is a reasonable explanation that can reassure me. Life must have a plan in the world, you have worked hard to come here, I don't believe that you are willing to return empty-handed by me after just a few words, unless you are idiots. ”

"If we explain the reason to your lordship, will you grant our request?"

"So you really have other plans?" Yue Xiang frowned, these two people really had another purpose? What could be more important to them than tens of millions of treasures? He felt ridiculous, but he did not think that the two men were lying, for it was impossible to try to arouse suspicion on such absurd grounds if they were to deceive him.

"Exactly, please rest assured. The things we are trying to do are of no use to the adults, and if the adults are willing to make a promise, we vow never to leak out this matter of hiding gold. ”

“…… Well, if what you ask for really doesn't matter to me, so what? But you have to tell me now, what exactly do you want? I won't easily agree if I don't make it clear. After thinking for a moment, Yue Xiang made a decision. At this point, they really can't fight anymore, if they really don't have any big conflict of interest with him, just cooperate.

These two people didn't have the skeptical spirit of Yue Xiang's chatter, and said very simply: "Okay, the gentleman is quick to speak." We believe that adults are fair and upright, and we believe that adults will make the right choices. To tell the truth, in this high hidden gold, there are gold and silver treasures that we want, but this is only a secondary purpose. The real main purpose ......"

Speaking of this, Li Shoucai paused for a moment and said slowly in a low and solemn voice: "It is to find the White Lotus Sacred Weapon that has been passed down since ancient times, that is, the legendary Seven Treasures of King Ming." ”

"What?" Not only Yue Xiang, but even Wang Yining and Xiao Wan, who were on the side, made a sound. When they repeated it again to make sure they understood, Yue Xiang was confused, while Xiao Wan and Wang Yining had strange faces, as if they knew what Ma and Li were talking about.

"Ming King Qibao? I haven't heard of it, what is it for? Hmph, don't be a deceitful ghost trick made up by you White Lotus Sect, right? After Yue Xiang and the others understood, his heart was immediately filled with disdain. He was not a superstitious person in the first place, and of course he would not believe in these things. Especially this kind of thing that resembles several great divine weapons, what creation of several holy weapons and the like, he even has an impression: all of them are plots in film and television novels, and there can be no such thing in reality.

The real society is realistic and uses scientific theories to explain everything. Strange things only exist in fantasy, that's his idea. Although sometimes he doesn't know how the resurrection of himself in this situation in this day and age is explained by science, most of the time he deliberately ignores it.

"What adults usually make is friends in the rivers and lakes of the three mountains and five mountains, and they are also people in the officialdom. Those of us who usually can't climb the threshold of adults, and it's normal for adults not to understand. It's just that the adult's wife is afraid that she should have heard of it, the lady was born in Baiyang, and this Ming King Qibao also had a deep relationship with the Jin Sect Master back then......"

Speaking of this, Ma Sandao paused deliberately. But seeing that Xiao Wan's face did change and changed, Yue Xiang suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had heard them say before, Xiao Wan's father, Baiyang Sect Leader Jin Deshi, had gathered tens of thousands of disciples in Qinghe City to rebel, and it went smoothly at first, but the imperial court was fighting against the Japanese in Korea, and the elite troops of the whole country gathered near Liaodong, but later Xing Jue, the secretary of the military department at that time, mobilized all kinds of soldiers and horses to quickly encircle and suppress, and adopted a strategy of division and disintegration, and finally the uprising was suppressed.

He vaguely remembered that when Kim De was in the past, he claimed that his son was Allah of the East, and that there were seven treasures in his life. At that time, he didn't pay attention to it, and thought that the so-called Shippo was just some trick to deceive. Now it seems that this so-called Ming King Qibao is exactly what they did when they rebelled.

Yue Xiang felt ridiculous, he knew that it was a deceptive thing, but there were still people who worked hard to find it without their lives, and they had nothing to do when they were full?

Or do they really think that this so-called "treasure" is really a treasure? It is also their freedom to be willing to think like this, anyway, most of the believers of these cults are not in their normal minds, Yue Xiang looked back at Xiao Wan, but saw that her expression was not what he imagined.

Does she also think that there is really a name for itself?

"Xiao Wan, what is this Ming King Qibao?" After Yue Xiang asked, Xiao Wan didn't answer immediately. It seems like I don't know where to start. But fortunately, there is still someone who understands, Wang Yining coughed next to him and said: "I said that you guys really don't know how to learn, and you claim to know everything about the three religions and nine streams, haven't you heard of this?" ”

"I'm naturally not like you, any lynx beast can be called a brother, listen to your tone but know, then trouble your old man to give me guidance, otherwise you can't carry your hand on this shoulder, you have to play a little role."

Ignoring Yue Xiang's sarcasm, Wang Yining said in an ironic tone: "Well, fortunately, you still know how to be motivated, since you ask for my head, I will do good deeds to preach to you and solve your doubts." To put it simply, the Seven Treasures of the Ming King is a legend circulated among the followers of the White Lotus Sect, and it is said that they are seven objects with magical powers, but there are many specific theories. No one can tell where it came from, it's as simple as that. Got it? ”

"Nonsense, you can guess by listening to the name, but you don't know anything else. What are these seven magic weapons for? ”

"It's hard to say what kind of magical power each has, after all, legends are just legends. I said that it would call for rain and turn stones into gold, and probably you wouldn't believe it, and there are very few people who have actually seen it. It's just that the legend says that more than 200 years ago, when the heroes of the late Yuan Dynasty rose together, the Ming King Qibao once appeared, and the leaders of the righteous army of the White Lotus Sect at that time once relied on the power of the Seven Treasures to fight against the Yuan army's iron cavalry, and finally drove the Mongolian Tartars out of the Central Plains. ”

"What? How powerful? Yue Xiang's expression was exaggerated, and then he smiled.

"Don't tell me this kind of nonsense, you also believe that if Meng Yuan can be defeated by some treasure alone, then what do ordinary rebel soldiers do? With this kind of divine power, where will it be Zhu Yuanzhang's turn to sit in this country? Yue Xiang really didn't believe in this at all, if he really had such a powerful weapon, he could handle thousands of troops and horses by himself, and he would not be a god. How can such a weapon exist in such an era?

"What does it matter to you whether I believe it or not? Anyway, the legend is like this, don't forget that our founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chongba, was born in the White Lotus Sect back then, and he was ordered by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. Legend has it that Zhu Chongba later annexed the rest of the White Lotus and Red Turban Zhuxiong, killed King Xiao Ming, and finally pocketed all the Seven Treasures of King Ming, only to successfully overthrow Meng Yuan and sit in the Dragon Court. These Seven Treasures were later regarded as a symbol of supreme authority within the White Lotus Sect, and whoever could obtain the Seven Treasures of the Ming King would become a symbol of the White Lotus Supreme. ”

"However, I heard that after Zhu came to power, he killed his former parishioners with his backhand. I can't see this White Lotus Supreme as I can't do it accurately, and if he really has such awesome mana, how could he have a chance to succeed when King Yan Jing was in trouble? Emperor Jianwen only had to take out this treasure and pull it twice, and King Yan's northern army was afraid that it would be swept away. ”

Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that this Qibao is really a double-edged sword, and if it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will inevitably become a scourge, and then secretly stored this thing in an unknown place, so later Emperor Jianwen did not find the exact whereabouts of Qibao at all, so he was defeated in the civil war. There is also a legend that Qibao mysteriously disappeared with the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, and some people say that Emperor Jianwen was not able to use Qibao, so after the city of Nanjing was broken, he took Qibao to escape under the pseudonym, and Qibao has been in exile since then. Some people even say that Zhu Di later found a part of the Seven Treasures, so he succeeded in defeating the strong with the weak, and finally defeated the million Southern Army with more than 100,000 Northern Army, seized his nephew's country, and became a generation of heroes. ”

"Ah, I see......" Yue Xiang listened to him, and his heart was just funny. It is inconceivable that the legend that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth is said to be true. If the power of these seven treasures was really so powerful, the Ming Dynasty would have annexed the entire Mongolian Plateau a long time ago, and there would be no Great Wall of China. But now people believe this, just like every emperor likes to say that he is the reincarnation of Ziwei and that he is the true dragon emperor. To use superstition to bring legitimacy to yourself, probably the same is true.

"Then you just conclude that there is the whereabouts of the Seven Treasures of the Ming King in this Gaohuai Hidden Gold. It's hard to imagine that you haven't even seen the specific appearance of these seven treasures, and you are clamoring to hunt for treasures, I really don't know what you can find. Anyway, it's none of my business, don't use your brains if you can't find it when the time comes! ”
