Chapter 68: The Theory of Disaster
"Li Bin, one hundred households of Jinyi Wei, meet Gao Qianhu."
"Mu Qing, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, meet Gao Qianhu."
When Li Bin and Mu Qing heard Gao Qianhu's name, they immediately saluted him respectfully.
Gao Yuan nodded and sighed: "It's been almost seventeen years in a blink of an eye, and I can't imagine that there are still people in the Jinyi Guard who remember Poor Dao." If it's good, I'm afraid that the palace is still catching the poor road back, right? ”
Li Bin nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Next to him, Wen and Bao'er were busy bandaging Qian Jin's wounds. Today is also fateful, Bao'er originally came to ask herself to eat, but she happened to bump into the scene of her own life. Thanks to Bao'er carrying the musket with her, the white-robed scholar was startled at the critical moment.
The wound was not deep, and it was obvious that the scholar's strength had been somewhat old when he used this sword. There was no gold sore medicine on everyone, but fortunately, Gao Yuan had a bottle with him. Bao'er hurriedly applied the medicine, and after a while, the wound had stopped bleeding. Bao'er relieved herself, took another handkerchief and folded it over the wound, and then ripped off a piece of cloth from her dress to fix the wound.
Taking advantage of this moment, Qian Jin naturally thanked Gao Qianhu for his life-saving grace in advance. Recalling the appearance of the white-robed scholar running away, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Gao Qianhu, that scholar just now seems to be extremely jealous of you......" Gao Yuan did not report himself, and Qian Jin called by the name of the world.
"Haha......" Gao Yuan stroked his beard and smiled: "It's no wonder, a few days ago...... Poor Dao hanged the boy for a month. ”
"Do you know that scholar?" Qian Jin exclaimed.
"I can't talk about acquaintance, but he claims to be the Great Protector of the White Lotus Sect." Gao Yuan paused and said, "Poor Dao also met him once recently in the suburbs of Beijing, and this kid actually claimed to be the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. Poor Dao was annoyed that he had insulted his ancestor, so he chased him and beat him for a month. Maybe he was scared of being beaten, and this time he ran away when he saw the poor road. ”
"White Lotus Sect? Have you never had a holiday with them below? ”
"Maybe it's to collect money from people to eliminate disasters for others, the White Lotus Sect often does this kind of thing."
After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Qian Jin still didn't understand. He came to the capital for a short time, and if he had a grudge against others, only the official Wang Shangshu had a deep grudge; There is also a Chen Xiong. Chen Xiong's kind of deflated three naturally couldn't invite the Great Protector of the White Lotus Sect; Wang Shangshu is also unlikely, he is a member of the imperial court and a person who has read the books of sages and sages, so he should not collude with the White Lotus Sect, which is known as the anti-thief.
However, fighting for the life of the Great Dharma Protector today, he actually gave birth to a sense of familiarity that came out of his bones. Not because he pretended to be an old man and had an encounter with him a few days ago, but because of the "I grass" he scolded. It has been nearly 17 years since he came to Chen Guo, and Qian Jin heard the national scolding with the flavor of his hometown for the first time.
After the bandaging was completed, Qian Jin got up and asked with a smile: "Gao Qianhu, can Taoists avoid wine and meat?" There is a barbecue not far ahead, so it's better to ......"
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Dao Ancestor has left it in his heart. ”
"Then the junior is going to have a good life today." After that, Qian Jin led Gao Qianhu to the barbecue place.
The lamb was still hot, and the wine was scalded. Lao Qian and Wen are grateful to Gao Yuan for saving their son's life, one is busy cutting meat, and the other is busy pouring wine. When the two of them saw their son being attacked, their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Qian Jin picked up a glass of wine and saluted: "Gao Qianhu, drink this glass of wine first, and then see if this wine is worthy of the fortune-telling money." ”
Gao Qianhu took a sip with a smile, then drank it all, and praised: "Well, it's softer than a burning knife, but it doesn't lose its fierceness, it's good, it's not bad......"
Qian Jin hurriedly filled him up again, and continued to salute: "If it weren't for Gao Qianhu, the kid would only be afraid that his life would be difficult to protect." A glass of wine is not enough to thank you, but this kindness will be remembered. "Anyway, he did it himself first.
Gao Yuanda glanced at Qian Jin meaningfully, and also drank a full glass.
Next, Qian Jin stopped talking and concentrated on serving Gao Yuan to eat wine and drink meat. After he was full of wine and food, Qian Jin led him to the place where he had fought with the white-clothed scholar before, and did not let Li Bin and them follow.
"Gao Qianhu, is this trip for viewing the scenery or visiting friends?" Walking under a red maple tree, Qian Jin looked at the road down the mountain, and suddenly said this. For Gao Yuan's life-saving grace, Qian Jin is naturally grateful. But he is not impartial and this point appears here, which is also strange.
"Hahaha...... You're a little too alert. Gao Yuan stroked his beard and smiled: "When you were in Guanhai City, the poor road has been seen by you to be flawed; Now, I still can't hide it from you. Yes, the poor road has been looking for you all these years. ”
"Looking for me? Even today, it seems that I have only met with Gao Qianhu twice......"
Gao Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and then the two of them stepped on the red maple leaves on the ground and walked forward. Gao Yuan was the first to speak: "This has to start from seventeen years ago. At that time, a meteor shower was coming, and Tang Xianchen, the supervisor of Qintian, happened to observe this vision at the stargazing platform. However, he died that night. ”
"Dead? How did he die? ”
"He jumped from the observatory and fell to his death."
“……”
"Whenever there is a vision in the sky, Qin Tianjian will deduce it with the Heavenly Machine, and then report it to His Majesty. But this time, Tang Xianchen obviously deduced a terrible disaster, if the emperor knew, he Tang Xianchen was only afraid that he would be beheaded by the whole house. Early the next morning, I was ordered to investigate, and found not only Tang Xianchen's body, but also these two criticisms. With that, Gao Yuan took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Qian Jin, which contained two yellowed notes.
"The Vermilion Bird comes south, and Nirvana is born; When the fire comes, all four elephants are shocked? Qian Jin read it once, but he didn't know why.
Gao Yuan glanced at Qian Jin with disdain and said, "It's reversed...... You're still a new champion. ”
"See ...... laugh" Qian Jin sneered: "The kid doesn't know any heavenly skills. ”
"Vermilion Bird, Green Dragon, White Tiger, and Xuanwu are the Four Holy Beasts that I Da Chen guards, you should always know this, right?"
Qian Jin nodded, when he participated in the palace examination, he saw the statues of the four holy beasts on the eaves of the Fengtian Palace, and they could be seen everywhere in the palace.
In fact, Poor Dao couldn't solve these criticisms at first. Later, because Poor Dao did not return to the palace to restore his life, he was chased and killed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, so he simply fled to Wudang Mountain and worked as a Taoist priest for several years. There, Poor Dao finally understood the meaning of these words by consulting the classics. ”
Gao Yuan paused and continued: "The Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu are the four spirits of my Chen Kingdom, and they are in charge of the four directions of the Heavenly Palace, the southeast, the northwest, and the four directions. The green dragon lord Ganlin, the white tiger lord kills, the Vermilion Bird lord leaves the fire, and the Xuanwu lord guards.
'Heavenly fire is coming, and the four elephants are shocked' means that the meteorite rain will collide with the four spirits to protect the four spirits, and then the Chen Kingdom will be full of disasters, and will eventually endanger the Emperor Star of the Middle Palace; Shicai Poor Dao has already said that the Vermilion Bird is away from the fire, and there is a saying of Nirvana, and Poor Dao guesses that my Chen Kingdom will get the vitality of revival from the south. ”
Qian Jin patiently listened to Gao Yuan's words, and then asked, "What does this have to do with Zaixia?" ”
"In times of great calamity, there will be those who will be calamated. According to these two criticisms, the person who should be robbed this time should be in the south. Therefore, after staying in Wudang Mountain for a few years, Poor Dao went down the mountain to search around, and traveled all over the southern prefectures and counties over the years, and finally found you in Guanhai City. After that, Gao Yuan glanced at Qian Jin meaningfully.
"Could it be that Gao Qianhu thinks that he is the one who should be robbed, right?" Qian Jin sneered.
"At first, I was not sure, but then Poor Dao went around the capital and heard some things about you, and became more and more convinced that you were the one who should be robbed."
"Haha......" Qian Jin wanted to tell him that there were no four spirits in the sky at all, but he couldn't bear to tell Gao Qianhu. Over the years, he has guarded this secret for seventeen years, and if he knows that this so-called heavenly machine is not bullshit, it is estimated that he will vomit blood and die on the spot. He thought for a moment and laughed at himself: "Gao Qianhu, the person you said about the robbery almost died today. ”
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Poor Dao knows that you won't believe it, but the Queen Mother believes ......."
"The Queen Mother?" Qian Jin couldn't help but recall the first time he met the Queen Mother, and at that time he felt that the Queen Mother seemed to have a grudge against herself, and she spoke coldly, could it be because she regarded herself as the person who should be robbed? Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Gao Qianhu, what are the characteristics of this person who should be robbed?" ”
"It is said that those who should be doomed will come at the same time as the vision of heaven and earth. Poor Dao remembers clearly that when the meteorite shower came, it happened to be the winter solstice......"
"Then if the Queen Mother is a person who should be robbed, wouldn't she want good wine and good meat?"
"You think too much, and you underestimate the royal people. They have ruled the world for hundreds of years, and they are confident that they can control the world in their hands. If they know that you are the one who deserves to be destroyed, they are afraid that they will kill you first. ”
"Why is that?"
"Throughout every dynasty, three hundred years can be said to be a cycle. The meteorite shower is coming, and the emperor star in the middle palace is unstable. To put it bluntly, this person is the new emperor star, do you say that the queen mother wants to kill you? ”
"Hahaha...... Gao Qianhu, you are too high-valued. After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Qian Jin was noncommittal. He was an atheist, with memories of his past lives, and knowledge far beyond this world, so he naturally did not believe these prophecies. However, Gao Yuan didn't know what his purpose was when he found him this time, so he asked, "Gao Qianhu, you found it this time just to tell me this?" ”
Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Not all. I've been away from home for more than ten years, so I'll come back this time to take a look and verify some things by the way. ”
