Chapter 65: Divination
Xiyun Lao Dao and Xiqi Dao people, each practicing the law, occupy a simple high platform, in a triangular position, chanting mantras and practicing the law.
Not far away, in the narrow stream, in the waterway, a trace of gray and black breath was silently dormant.
As the three of them finished reciting various mantras in the order of the stanzas, the slightest trace of black qi in the water continued to surge, turning the clear waves of green water into a pool of ink.
The water was tumbling and gradually rising to the fullest, almost overflowing the waterway.
A few people saw it in their eyes and were not surprised, but smiled and said:
"The earth's qi is surging, mixed with water vapor, the local official and the water official have already responded, it depends on the heavenly official."
As he was talking, a white dot in the air suddenly lit up, it was a star, and suddenly it shone in the daytime.
The light was blazing, and it suppressed his forehead at this time for a while.
"Tianguan also responded, it's really smooth!"
The three of them didn't dare to slack off, and they pinched the mantra one after another, pointed to the heaven, earth and water and prayed silently, chanting the affairs they prayed for, and went up to heaven to listen!
A layer of fine brilliance, with a ritual, like a magic circle, emerged on the high platform.
The surrounding Daoists were all glowing with a layer of clear light, connected as one.
Gradually, we reach a limit in the light·········
An invisible force emerged, holding the three of them to move further and further away.
Xiyun Lao Dao felt that he had fallen into an endless abyss, constantly falling in the depths of the bottom line, with no light, no sound, and nothing around him, only constantly falling and falling.
Boyang Dao people feel that their homes are riding on the green smoke, constantly steaming, rising, rising, the ground is gradually moving away, and there is only a thin Gangfeng air flow around, and then away from these, continue to go up, and then go up, until they come to space, completely lose their weight, and return to complete silence.
The Xiqi Daoist is diving into the depths of the ocean, surrounded by water countries, countless unheard of and unseen huge water monsters lurking in it, and he is in a bubble that can only accommodate himself, constantly sinking, sinking to the bottom of a deep valley where there is no daylight.
The three of them didn't dare to slack off, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore, they just kept repeating the questions they wanted to ask.
At this time, the three of them were actually under the support of the forbidden law, throwing a trace of divine thought into another level that represented the three natural forces, and they were actually in place.
Mortals are like blind people touching elephants, and they often do not see the original appearance of heaven and earth, nor do they know what they are.
Only by using this forbidden law, or beyond the heavens and the earth, or diving into the heavens and the earth, can we see the original appearance of the heavens and the earth more deeply.
Even so, the three of them could not arrive at the same place at the same time, but only chose the three levels of heaven, earth, and water respectively.
Everything you saw and heard during this period is very different from common sense, so you can't see more, and it's best not to remember more.
When the forbidden law is in operation, it will naturally retract the divine thoughts and return to the original place.
To ask here is to ask one side of the whole world.
The three of them will ask the same question to the heavenly officials of the sky, the earth officials, and the water officials of the water, and they will be able to obtain relevant information about the all-pervasive earth, sky, and water flow between heaven and earth. ‘’
That's what this access control law really intends.
Geese have left sounds, people have left traces, but anyone who is in this world, as long as they have done things, few can leave no traces.
And as long as they are exposed to the sky, there are records where the heavenly officials have acted, and those who have acted on the earth have also responded.
In and out of the waterway, there are traces in the place where the water officer is.
In this way, the three sides of heaven, earth and water can be used to obtain information that ordinary people cannot hide, and then deduce it in the sand table, which is almost invincible.
In the past, the people of Boyang Dao relied on this method to identify the local people who were possessed by the "extraterritorial demons".
He was just one person, and his natural mana was not enough, so he couldn't spy on more, but he hastily entered this realm and hurriedly returned.
Now that we have more than enough money, we should find out where the "disaster" that led to the change of heaven comes from.
········
A light snow, one after another, sprinkled on the ground, melted in a blink of an eye, and only moistened the dark earth.
"With this snow, there will be a bumper harvest next year, Shuzhong, even if it is relieved."
Lin Zhengyang was dressed in a strong suit, and he and his subordinates enjoyed the snow and drank in the small pavilion in the house.
It's rare to have free time, so it's time to rest.
If you don't want to take a holiday, you can also accumulate it, and then take a one-time holiday.
The maximum is to accumulate three days, that is, at the end of one month, you can accumulate three days of leave.
"Even so, Beihu is watching from the sidelines, and there will be a war at that time." Leng Dongliu answered next to him, took out a bottle of wine, and put it on the table.
Twenty paces away, there are guards standing guard, fifty paces, a hundred paces away, there are all kinds of open guards, dark guards.
"It's snowing so hard, it's hard for them."
When I saw these guards, I couldn't help but sigh when I remembered how many open guns and hidden arrows they had tried their best to block for themselves in the past few months.
"It's a good thing that the lord is sympathetic to his subordinates, but the guards have rules, so I guess I can't drink now." A scribe just said.
"And pass on my order, it's cold in the snow, after today's rotation, let each of them drink a drink to ward off the cold."
A subordinate passed, passed one by one, and came back after a while, crying and laughing.
"Well, they say, the Iron Guard has its own rules, and you can't drink alcohol. And their internal strength has been small, and the wind and snow are insignificant! The ministers don't listen to what they say. This, my lord, look ······."
"That's it, the law is not to be wasted, let them go."
Waving his hand, he put down the matter, and he didn't mention it again.
As his power swells, there are now more and more rules around him.
For the sake of their own safety, they can't be careless, so they can only endure it.
Sitting in this seat and enjoying the scenery of this great power, you have to face the inconvenience caused by it at all times.
There are always pros and cons to everything, and that's it.
He now shoulders the hope of more than 30 million people in the five states of Yizhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou, and is the first person in the Central Plains to resist Beihu.
Even so, in the past month or so, there have been dozens of conspiracies against the inner court.
The Thirteen Divisions have made secret investigations, and until now, only half of them have traced the real culprit behind the scenes, and the rest are either cut off from clues or belong to overseas.
The Thirteen Divisions were originally expanded many times by Li Chengye's original Black Guards, but now they are gradually expanding too fast.
Moreover, they rely on the Thirteen Divisions internally and externally, and the authority of the Thirteen Divisions is a bit too heavy·········
"Pass on my order, order the thirteen divisions to be restructured, divide the functions and powers, and specialize in supervising the affairs of the inner court and the palace, as the internal guard; Those who supervise civil and military officials are Jinyi Guards; Those who supervise the lawlessness of the people, as well as the warriors of the rivers and lakes, are the six gates; Those who monitor overseas movements and military intelligence are the Espionage Division. ”
As soon as the king's dictation came out, the scribes accompanying him immediately took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and recorded them.
After a slight groan, Lin Zhengyang said again:
"In addition to the internal guard, the brocade guard, the six doors, and the spy department, a black ice platform will be set up to supervise the above four departments, so as not to be a traitor and a person who violates our law."
"The internal guard is divided into two factories in the east and west, the east factory is set up as a factory officer, which is filled by a eunuch, and the west factory is also set up as a factory director, which is filled by a minister."
"The above many intelligence departments are under the direct jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven and supervise the world, and the ministers cannot ask, and the imperial history cannot be impeached, for the purpose of defending the royal power, so as not to be overlooked by future generations of ministers, this is listed as the ancestral system!"
The faces of the subordinates around him are different, and most of them are not very good-looking.
Isn't this the red fruit land, showing the king of Shu's distrust of the minister of civil and military affairs?
Lin Zhengyang didn't care about this, and continued to command:
"That's it! In the future, the prince will be established, and the prince must first experience in these five parts and know the situation in the world, so as not to be deceived by others. ”
Most of the descendants of later generations grew up in the deep palace, taught by women, and all the things they heard and saw all day long were in the court.
This set is okay for palace fighting, but it is not good for governing the country.
Not to mention the egg for one or two silver, and the allusion of why not eat minced meat, it is not uncommon in all dynasties.
If the Son of Heaven in the Deep Palace can't master his own eyes and ears, then he is no different from a puppet.
All he can know is what those close people around him tell him, how can he know the real situation?
You don't see, on the earth, in modern times, the dignified Yuan Shikai, President Yuan Da, understand the voice of the domestic people, and the only way to read the newspaper is to read it.
The people below deliberately forged a newspaper, and he believed it to be true, and really thought that domestic public opinion supported his restoration and proclamation as emperor·········
This shows the importance of intelligence, as well as the necessity of secret services.
To give another example, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after destroying his eyes and ears and destroying the factory guard, his family was completely unable to grasp the situation, and he was repeatedly deceived by Confucian scholars, and he was helpless·······
Although it is hurtful, some words are indeed true.
A monarch who trusts his courtiers and is loyal is either hollowed out or too dead to die········
After the clerk finished recording, Lin Zhengyang took off the private seal from his personal place, stamped it, and wrote a few strokes in the corners and corners.
This is now a new anti-counterfeiting code, which is only known to him and the internal core personnel of the Thirteenth Division, and it cannot be easily counterfeited.
In fact, he has now personally written a complete set of ciphers for the Thirteen Divisions, and the text span alone covers small seals, large seals, official scripts, Jin Dingwen, and Arabic numerals, and the coding methods are also brought from the era of developed cryptography in later generations, at least in this era, it is very advanced.
Immediately after that, the will was handed down.
They continue to enjoy the snow here.
"Lord, do you want to add mutton to the hot pot?" A subordinate is already putting soup stock in the hot pot.
This hot pot was not invented by Liang Xi, but has existed since ancient times, but it is difficult to determine when it appeared.
"Add mutton, add more, the weather is cold, you should eat some warm."
The group was in the pavilion, around the stove, eating hot pot, and talking.
