Wei Yining wanted to know why Mrs. Zhu and other elderly ladies didn't like to wear lapis lazuli.

The old lady took a sip of tea, sighed slowly, and then said, "It is true that few people have mentioned the old things more than twenty years ago. What's more, it's not a good thing, when the emperor was still alive, there was a sect called Tsing Yi Fengtian Sect, which has been rising for nearly a hundred years.

The people of this sect revered the color blue, and the congregation wore blue clothes when they gathered, and made lapis lazuli a sacred object of the religion.

Because the color of lapis lazuli is extremely close to the color of the sky, lapis lazuli has been used to worship the sky since ancient times.

There was nothing wrong with this sect at first, and like Buddhism and Taoism, it also persuaded people to do good.

Later, a new sect leader came out, named Ru Fangdan, who carried forward the Fengtian Sect even more magnificently, and the followers were all over the world, and even the first emperor personally summoned him and gave him the honorific title "Great Enlightenment Shengzun".

Later, this Fengtian Sect was accused of forcibly seizing the people's land and property to build temples, and using evil magic to kill children, and many people were helpless, and there was a fight with the sect, and the casualties were very serious.

When the emperor found out that something was going on, he ordered the Fengtian Sect to be eradicated and the head of the sect was wanted.

Because of the large number of believers, it was specially ordered that the original followers of the Fengtian Sect would not be held accountable as long as they took the initiative to leave the religion and register with the Yamen, guaranteeing that they would have nothing to do with the Fengtian Sect from now on.

It's just that those leaders are not tolerated, especially the sect leader Ru Fangdan.

At that time, many people voluntarily abandoned Christianity, but some were still stubborn, and even organized mobs with the intention of rebelling.

There was even an important minister who wanted to assassinate the emperor because he believed in the Heavenly Religion.

This made the emperor even more furious, and ordered that all those who dared to continue believing in religion with official positions should be dismissed from their posts and confiscated, and ordered that there would be a reward for reporting. ”

Mrs. Zhu said so much in one breath, Wei Yining's heart was also turbulent, this was really the first time I had heard of it.

It turned out that there was such a major event in Da Zhou more than 20 years ago, although Mrs. Zhu did not mention too many details, just said a rough idea, but it is not difficult to imagine how thrilling it was at that time.

"So from that time on, everyone is not worthy of wearing lapis lazuli that was once a sacred relic of the Fengtian Sect, right?" Wei Yining asked.

"Needless to say!" Mrs. Zhu said: "Who is stupid and has to touch the mold? What's more, this lapis lazuli is not very commonly used, and it can be without it, and it is not gold and jade. ”

"Grandmother, was this Fengtian Sect completely eradicated later?" Wei Yining asked.

"What else can you set off?" Mrs. Zhu said: "That Ru Fangdan was beheaded, and the rest of the people stopped. ”

Wei Yining was silent for a long time, got up and said, "Grandmother, I just remembered that my second brother asked me to help him find a book a few days ago, and now I will send it to him." ”

"You little monkey don't play sloppy with me, are you sending a message to him for the girl of the Wei family?" Mrs. Zhu smiled: "That girl is indeed good, good looking and educated. ”

Wei Yining couldn't deny it, so he smiled and passed.

Mrs. Zhu asked Ruyi to take some snacks and asked Wei Yining to bring them to Wei Aluan along the way.

Wei Yining came to Shao's house by car, and Shao Tong had already seen the doctor at this time.

"Second brother's injuries are fine, right?" Wei Yining asked.

Wei Aluan sighed: "The doctor said that he would recuperate and recuperate, and he would not be able to go down to the ground after three months. ”

"Since the doctor said that you need to recuperate, then it's better to recuperate." Wei Yining said with relief: "As long as you are no longer injured, you can be healed." ”

Although Wei Aluan was worried, it was inconvenient to say more in front of the juniors, so he said, "Today's incident didn't scare you, did it?" I heard your big brother and them say, what's wrong with the capital? These days, things have never happened before. ”

"Little aunt, don't worry, I'm fine." Wei Yining smiled: "I just came to see the second brother." ”

"I'm going to go to the old lady's side and let Xinghua accompany you first." Wei Aluan said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, dinner will be eaten here, and I will ask your third brother to send you back when I turn around." ”

Wei Yining agreed, and followed the maid to Shao Tong's yard.

At this time, Shao Nan and Shao Yang were also there, and they were a little surprised to see Wei Yining coming.

Wei Yining first asked about Shao Tong's injury, and then told him what he had heard from Mrs. Zhu.

"At first, I was in the Yan family, and the eighth prince of his family once showed me the list of lost items, I looked at it, and found that every household on it had lost lapis lazuli, and the eighth prince also told me that it was very likely that the prince of Duan Wang was hunted down and killed that day because he was also wearing the crown of hair inlaid with lapis lazuli that day." Wei Yining analyzed: "I listened to my grandmother's words today, and I couldn't help but connect these things with the Tsing Yi Fengtian Sect more than 20 years ago. Of course, this is just my conjecture. It was inconvenient for me to go to Yan's house, so I asked my eldest brother to tell Yan's son on my behalf. ”

"Don't worry, I'll go to their house later." Shao Nan said: "It's just that now it's all speculation and there is no real evidence, so I have to check it privately." ”

"It's not impossible, it's just that we have to carefully verify after making bold assumptions." Shao Tong said: "But the origin of those people who attacked you today is what I care about the most. If the masterminds behind these people are not caught, I will not be at ease for a day. ”

Wei Yining naturally understands that anyone who thinks of the existence of a person who is hidden in the shadows and wants to wait for an opportunity to harm people's lives will be like needles and needles.

What's more, Shao Tong regards Wei Lanpei as more important than his own life, he needs to recuperate now, and he can't guard it at any time, so he will inevitably be more anxious.

"Don't worry, second brother," Shao Yang said, "I have already sent someone to protect me day and night outside the Wei family, ensuring that not even a fly can fly in." ”

"Second brother, you take good care of your injuries," Wei Yining also said, "The Yan family has also gone a lot. ”

Shao Tong knew that Yan Yuntang was interested in Wei Lanshan, so he would naturally send someone to protect him, and the Shao family and the Yan family sent people were not small, not to mention that as long as the Wei family sisters did not leave the house, the other party would have no chance.

"It's getting late, I'm going back," Wei Yining got up and said, "I'll come back if there's something." ”

"Fifth sister, my mother said that I would leave you for dinner and then go back." Shao Yang said humbly.

"No," Wei Yining: "My little aunt still has to take care of the aftermath of those killed family members, so I won't make trouble here." We are our own family, so you don't have to be polite. ”

When the three brothers of the Shao family heard her say this, they no longer forced them to stay, and Shao Nan sent Wei Yining out.

Wei Yining was afraid that Wei Aluan wouldn't let her go, so she didn't go out of her way to say goodbye to her little aunt: "Big brother, say it to my little aunt for me!" Just say I'll come back another day. ”

"I'll send you back." Shao Nan said: "It's getting late, I don't feel at ease if you go alone." ”

Wei Yining thought about it and didn't refuse, and got into the carriage in front of the door, Shao Nan got up and followed behind, and sent her back to the Zhiyong Mansion.
