Chapter 352: Chaotian Official

Zhai dipping is actually a collective term for Buddhist and Taoist rituals. Xiuzhai refers to Buddhist rituals, which originated in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, and the dipping has been around since the Xia Yuan Festival. However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was very little strict religious division between Zhaidi, mainly because of the convergence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty.

According to the management at that time, during the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was in Daxinglong Temple, and the dipping was in Chaotianguan. During the Chenghua period, the fasting and dipping activities began to be popular in the palace ban, and in the inner house, there were activities of "repairing the fasting and dipping, writing scriptures and mantras" from time to time. Ming Xianzong once decreed to build the Yellow Altar in the Qianqing Palace, as the place where the emperor practiced fasting, and then mistakenly took "Huang" as the "Emperor", and the Yellow Altar became the "Imperial Altar", and the Guanglu Temple was responsible for supervising and collecting the utensils used in the Imperial Altar.

During the Hongzhi period, Ming Xiaozong not only sent people out many times to "burn incense and pray", but also continued to do fasting and dipping activities. In order to dip, more than 10 thousand utensils were made in Nanjing City, and 100,000 catties of incense were taken; sent the real person Wang Yingqi to lead the silver to Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain to "repair and dip"; And because of Chen Yingxun's request, he bought the foundation for the Manifestation Palace, developed and decorated, and once he fasted and dipped it, he was "rewarded too much".

In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), because the stars have not changed, coupled with the fire alarm in the palace, Mingshenzong issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to build Russia in Chaotian Palace for three days, and told all palaces and temples that hundreds of officials repaired the province and stopped the punishment and banned slaughter.

In November of the eighth year of Wanli, in accordance with the merciful decree of the Empress Dowager, on the 28th of this month, the "Guarantee of the Country, the People, and the Food Disaster Xie You" was built in Chaotian Palace for three days and nights, and the sentence was suspended for three days.

Later, in the Xuande period, the imperial court established the position of Chaotian official, and the first Chaotian official was called Xia Shi.

Xingshu recalled: "I remember hearing my father say that this Xia Shi is very mysterious, I heard that he is a nomad, and later worshiped the Iron Cloth Gate, and changed his name many times, as for what his real name is, there is no way to verify, but when Xia Shi left the Iron Cloth Gate, it was a defection, but for the court at that time, he belonged to Toucheng, Xia Shi should be a person from the more famous Toucheng Imperial Court in the history of the different ways, and when he left, he once took something away from the so-called place where yin and yang meet. ”

Wei Chiran asked: "Don't sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, what is he taking away." ”

Torture said: "Ding Jia pot." ”

Wei Chiran looked at Xie Meng: "What is that?" ”

Xie Meng shook his head: "It's also the first time I've heard the name Ding Jia Pot. ”

"As for what the Ding Jia pot is, I don't know, that's all I know, now, you should tell me the rest of the case." ”

Xie Meng got up impatiently: "Let's go." ”

Torture immediately stood up: "Eh, you're not bored. ”

Wei Chiran dragged Xie Meng to sit down, and told the other parts of the case to the criminal technique, and asked the criminal technique to help analyze what was going on.

After listening to the torture, he said: "Two Hu Xin, two Xia Congyun, this case is interesting, how can it be like this?" ”

Wei Chiran asked: "I remember that there was such a thing as disguise in ancient China, right?" ”

"Although there are indeed any, there are not many people left who can change their appearance now, right?" Besides, if the disguise technique wants to turn a woman into a man, or a man into a woman, it can't be done in terms of body shape, just looking at the figure will make people suspicious, isn't it the same with the lonely Qianyan? Even if you change your face, you can't change your body. ”

Wei Chi nodded: "I really thought about whether it would be done by a lone soldier." ”

Xingshu shook his head: "I don't think so, at this juncture, the lone soldier returns to China, isn't this looking for death?" ”

Xie Meng sighed and said, "I thought you would give us some clever advice." ”

Torture took a sip of tea: "Although I don't know, I can show you the way." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "What is the clear road?" It can't be the Dead Ear, right? ”

Xingshu smiled: "It really has something to do with the Dead Ear, this person was also a disciple of the Dead Ear, and there are rumors that he used to be a lone soldier, and some people say that he has also done a hunt, in short, in the past fifty years, this person is a legend of the Evil Path." ”

Xie Meng asked, "Are you talking about He Changqing?" ”

Xingshu nodded and said, "Yes, he is a jack of all trades, you 517 can't not know, right?" ”

Xie Meng was silent, and Wei Chiran asked, "Who is He Changqing?" ”

Xingshu looked at Xie Meng and said, "You ask her, He Changqing was locked up in the cell of 517, and he was locked up voluntarily, and everyone in the other way knows about it." ”

Xie Meng got up and thanked him, then turned around and left.

Wei Chiran also got up, looked at Xie Meng's back, and then looked at the torture technique, and the torture technique got up and stretched: "Keep working, goodbye." ”

Wei Chiran caught up with Xie Meng and asked, "Is that He Changqing really a jack of all trades?" ”

Xie Meng said: "He Changqing is a strange person, and he is also a repeat offender, I once thought about looking for him, but it was too troublesome, it took a long time to go through the formalities, and it must be signed by everyone in the management above, and we must agree to his conditions when talking to him, we have sought his help, but the conditions he proposed are simply unreasonable." ”

When Xie Meng said this, Wei Chiran became even more curious, so he had to ask Xie Meng to tell him the story of He Changqing.

After returning to Wei Chiran's room, Xie Meng sat down and spoke for a long time: "I don't know much about He Changqing, all I know are rumors on the different rivers and lakes, he is now about seventy years old, no one knows the specific age, some people say that he is a person from the end of the Qing Dynasty, and some people say that he is a person from the end of the Ming Dynasty, in short, it is very mysterious, no one knows when he was born, where his place of origin is, only know that all sects are looking for him, but they don't want to kill him, everyone wants to get the secrets of other sects out of his mouth." ”

Wei Chiran frowned and said, "So, this person sounds like a non-existent person?" ”

Xie Meng said: "Strictly speaking, He Changqing is a person who exists and does not exist. ”

He Changqing took the initiative to surrender to 517, and he walked into the mountains alone, and walked directly to the gate of 517 and raised his hands to express his surrender.

That was ten years ago, when He Changqing walked to the front of Tunnel 517, he was dressed like a beggar, and the soldiers on guard thought he was a lost old man, and he was ready to check his body, and then send him home, who knew that He Changqing said directly: "I know that it is 517." ”

At that time, He Changqing spoke in Cantonese, and the soldiers guarding only heard the three words 517, and immediately became vigilant, while He Changqing gently gave himself a mouth and said in Mandarin: "I'm sorry, I said I'm used to it, that, I know this is 517, my name is He Changqing, you probably don't know who I am, but if you look for your leader, just say that I am the street rat He Changqing who everyone shouts and beats, and they will know." ”

After speaking, He Changqing showed a mouth full of yellow teeth and smirked.

This is the detailed process of He Changqing wading through mountains and rivers to the door of the 517 headquarters to surrender to Cheng, it's as simple as that, there is no pursuit, no shootout, and it is not thrilling, but like a homeless person, he ran to the door of the aid station to ask for help.

When the 517 high-level officials heard that He Changqing was coming, they almost set out en masse, not so much to distinguish between serious and fake, but to greet them. You must know that whether it is for 517 or a different way, He Changqing is a treasure, a treasure.

However, there are many people in 517 who don't believe that He Changqing is really as magical as the legend.

Xie Meng said: "The person who interrogated He Changqing at that time was He Lao. ”

Wei Chiran said: "Interesting, the two surnamed He are quite legendary." ”

Xie Meng said again: "The embarrassment is that 517 does not have any evidence of He Changqing's crime, but only knows that such a person may exist, what has he done, 517 has mastered part of it, but there is no evidence to prove that it is him, so first of all, we must prove that he is He Changqing, and then figure out why he came and what is the purpose?" ”

He Changqing was also happy, and directly said the secrets of the two different ways, which are also the two cases that 517 is more concerned about, and the cases that have not been investigated clearly for 20 years have been solved by He Changqing in a few words, and the evidence has been found, and the real culprit of the case has been caught within three days.

From this, it is basically believed that the person who came is He Changqing, but why did He Changqing come to 517? According to He Changqing's own words, the reason is just two words: tired.

Lao He felt that He Changqing's reasons were not sufficient at that time, and always felt that he had a conspiracy, which caused He Changqing to be very irritable, thinking that 517 was too distrustful of people, so he asked how to believe that he was really tired?

Lao He put forward the condition and asked He Changqing to help 517 solve all the incurable diseases in the different paths.

This request was rejected by He Changqing, he told Lao He that he was also a stranger no matter how he said it, and it was the purpose not to cooperate with the government, but he also knew that now he was seeking the shelter of the government and wanted to find a quiet place, and it was not appropriate for him not to do something, so he first reported a few undiscovered ruins, as well as the location of the shipwreck as a condition for temporarily living in 517, and then he also said that if 517 wanted to seek his help, then it would be the same thing, and it would depend on his mood when the time came. It also depends on whether he can agree to the conditions he put forward at that time.

According to what He Changqing said, Lao He sent people to investigate, but he did not expect to find two ruins, as well as the location of the shipwreck, which are major archaeological discoveries after China entered the 21st century.

So far, He Changqing has also lived in 517, and he lives alone on the first floor, reading books, walking, and exercising every day. When I'm in a good mood, I will also teach 517 people some fist and foot kung fu.

Wei Chiran asked: "In the past ten years, has He Changqing helped 517 solve a lot of cases?" ”

Xie Meng denied: "In the past ten years, except for one case, 517 has not sought He Changqing's help, because Lao He still suspects that He Changqing's purpose is not pure. Although He Changqing lived in an underground facility every day, he did not make any changes, on the contrary, he lived a very nourishing life. The doctor we sent after examination thought that he was physically and mentally healthy, which is very strange, anyone in the 517 Institute will have problems such as stress and irritability if they stay underground for a month, but He Changqing is very healthy. ”

After listening to this, Wei Chiran became even more curious: "Can I go and meet him?" ”

"If you want to see He Changqing, you must be approved by Lao He." Xie Meng stopped and looked at Wei Chiran, "As a last resort, we can't ask for his help, after all, He Changqing is too mysterious and must be treated with caution." ”

Wei Chiran said again: "Then I can meet He Lao, right?" ”
