Chapter 33: The Treasure of the City
Since the decision was made, Chen Jinnan did not delay the time, and immediately set off for Jiangling with all the men, and they left the city in batches without attracting anyone's attention.
Before leaving, Chen Jinnan told and told Xuanzhen Daoist to keep a low profile and not make any moves recently.
Daoist Xuanzhen and Qian Laoben are not idiots, this time there is such a big movement, no matter what you ask, you can know that the Qing court will definitely make a big move, and during this period, it is purely looking for death.
This time, those who followed Yang Yifei and they left, in addition to Mao Shiba, Wu Liuqi, Xu Tianchuan, Fengjizhong, Li Lishi, and Gao Yanchao, the six main subordinates of Yang Yifei, as well as the henchmen of Xu Tianchuan, a total of twenty-six people.
As for the ordinary congregants who are going to be transferred to Perak Hall, that is the matter of Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman, and they will not bother with it.
Heaven and Earth will have ten branches, each of which has hundreds or thousands of core disciples, tens of thousands of ordinary congregations, and tens of thousands of peripheral members.
Naturally, it is impossible for Aoki Hall to produce only about 20 people, these are just the henchmen of Xu Tianchuan and others.
Along the way, Xu Tianchuan and the four of them found opportunities to talk to Yang Yifei from time to time, in order to test Yang Yifei's character and personality, so that they could decide how to get along with him in the future.
Soon they found out that Yang Yifei had no arrogance, and he would not be arrogant, and when he talked to them, he was no different from the other brothers in the meeting, and he was even more bold and informal.
This is also the character that Yang Yifei cultivated in the army, when training and fighting, he must be meticulous, order and prohibit, and suppress his personality.
But getting along with his comrades-in-arms on weekdays is like a group of bad friends getting together, doing what they should do, never pretentious, and very real.
And Yang Yifei's character was quickly loved by Xu Tianchuan and others, and he felt very comfortable getting along with him, not depressed at all, and there was no need to be careful.
Yin Xiangzhu is certainly highly respected, but because of this, his personality is a little too upright, and Xu Tianchuan and the four of them, except for a little bit of silence in the wind, the other three are more outgoing personalities.
They are willing to take the initiative to transfer out of Aokitang, but they also can't stand the internal gangs, in their opinion, they are all brothers in life and death, why do they have to divide into factions?
In Aoki Hall, Daoist Xuan Zhen and Qian Laoben each have a circle, and when Lord Yin Xiang is still there, they play their own games at most, and there is no problem with each other except that they can't play together.
But as soon as Lord Yin Xiang left, this problem became prominent, because their respective supporters, of course, all hoped that the person who played well with them could succeed to the position of Lord Xiang.
Xu Tianchuan and the others usually did not deliberately join the camp of either side, and they were considered to remain neutral, but the four of them formed a circle of their own.
This time the Perak Hall was established, and they took the opportunity to offer to be willing to be transferred to the Perak Hall, so that they didn't have to have a headache all the time, how could they refuse to be drawn together by Daoist Xuan Zhen and Qian Laoben in private, intentionally or unintentionally.
And now that I found out again, it turned out that Yang Yifei was so easy to get along with, and he secretly praised himself for making the right choice.
……
From the capital to Jiangling for nearly 3,000 miles, the group rushed at full speed and arrived at the destination in about half a month.
The news that Chen Jinnan was going to come to Jiangling had already sent a fast horse to send a message to Shentaitang, and Emperor Hu De, the incense master of Shentaitang, personally led his disciples to greet him.
Emperor Hu Dedi is a middle-aged man with a burly and strong personality, and he is also heroic and straightforward, and Yang Yifei has a good impression when he sees it.
This Emperor Hu De is not an ordinary person, but one of the first generation of elders of the Heaven and Earth Society, he was born in South Shaolin, after the Heaven and Earth Society evolved into Hongmen in later generations, he and Ma Chaoxing, Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Li Shikai four people, were called "Shaolin Five Ancestors" by Hongmen disciples.
What happened in the capital, Chen Jinnan had already written in the letter that Emperor Hu Dedi naturally knew about Yang Yifei, because he also attached great importance to Yang Yifei, and there was a bit of respect in his words.
Not only because Yang Yifei is destined to become the master of the same hall as him, but also because Yang Yifei has enough resources in his hands to make the Heaven and Earth Society rise strongly.
Regarding the treasure, Chen Jinnan has not made it public for the time being, and what he knows so far is only the Aoki Hall brothers.
Of course, the people who go to the Taitang must also know, but they only know about the high-level and their henchmen, and the disciples below don't need to know so much.
After the treasures of Gangneung are raised, they will be temporarily stored in the Sentaitang, because the geographical location of the Santaitang is relatively special, and it is most suitable as a strategic center.
Jiangling is the Jingzhou city that Guan Yun lost under the care of the Three Kingdoms, this place is located in the central south of Hubei Province, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the west of the Jianghan Plain, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of the Han River, the west of Bashu, the south of Hunan and Guangdong, the ancient name of "the thoroughfare of the seven provinces".
It's a strategic location.
After sending a group of disciples, Chen Jinnan said to Yang Yifei: "Brother Yang, now that you have arrived in Jiangling, you can tell the location of this treasure." ”
Yang Yifei nodded, and in the burning eyes of everyone, he said a place name: "Jiangling, a treasure belonging to Emperor Liang Yuan, is in the Tianning Temple in the west of the south of the city. ”
"The big Buddha in the temple, in addition to a layer of clay sculpture on the surface, is made of pure gold inside, and in the belly of the golden Buddha, the inside is hollow, which is filled with pearls and gemstones."
"Each piece of jewelry is priceless, and if I were to get it all out, I wouldn't be able to tell how much it would be worth."
"Hiss......"
There was a gasp in the chamber, even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, but just listening to Yang Yifei's description, they could already imagine the value of this batch of treasures.
Yes, the treasure of Emperor Liang Yuan in Yang Yifei's mouth is the big treasure in "Liancheng Jue" that has caused countless bloody cases in the rivers and lakes.
And the reason why he is so sure that there must be this treasure in the world of Luding Ji is naturally because of the original record of Liancheng Jue.
The original text of Liancheng Jue records: During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a monk with strong martial arts stationed in Xitianning Temple, and he accidentally found a treasure.
He wrote this message into a letter and asked someone to send it to Wu Liuqi, the owner of the Red Flag Incense of Hongshuntang in Guangdong at that time, and asked him to dig it out and use it for the Heaven and Earth Society to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
For fear of revealing secrets, he poured the treasure into a "Selected Tang Poems" that circulated at that time with a sword trick and sent it to Wu Liuqi.
Wu Liuqi is a disciple of his senior brother, who is passed down from the same sect to the monk, and the monk knows the "Tang Poetry Swordsmanship" and knows the order of the swordsmanship.
When the unfortunate code was delivered, Wu Liuqi suffered and was assassinated by the Xin Shu family, and the sword code was left out for decades.
If the message is not connected with the "Selected Tang Poems", it will not be a piece, and if the person who receives the message does not know the "Tang Poetry Swordsmanship", although he knows the sword trick, but he does not know the order of the sword moves, the treasure will be difficult to find.
Later, this information fell into the hands of Mei Niansheng, Mei Niansheng was the same sect of the senior monk and Wu Liuqi, who knew the "Tang Poetry Swordsmanship", and later got the sword trick, the matter was not secret, and he ended up betraying and killing the three apprentices.
In other words, the era of the story of Liancheng Jue is decades after Wu Liuqi's death, so now this treasure must still stay in Tianning Temple.
And that monk was settled in Tianning Temple in the year of Wu Liuqi's death, that is, the twelfth year of Kangxi, but this fashion is still the eighth year of Kangxi, and even that monk has not yet appeared!
