Those disciples of the Quanzhen Dao who became the earth masters and those who thought that they were born from the Zhengyi were always in opposition, and fundamentally speaking, there was a contradiction between the Quanzhen Dao and the Zhengyi, and they both believed that they were the true Taoist orthodoxy.

Therefore, in order to distinguish themselves from other earth masters, the disciples of the Quanzhen Dao called themselves the earth minister, which means the prime minister, that is to say, they can not only be feng shui, find dragon points, choose burial places, but also be able to fight on the battlefield, unify hundreds of officials, and govern all the people.

Tang Anshu said: "Of course the earth masters are not convinced, but they are not convinced, the earth is indeed skilled, and later the earth minister participated in the civil uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, at first mixed in the Red Turban Army, and later the Red Turban Army had internal contradictions, and began to be hostile to the vendetta, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the Yuan Army to deal with the Red Turban Army, expanded his power, and the land ministers threw themselves under his command to make contributions. ”

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, after the world gradually calmed down, the earth ministers convened the famous earth masters around the country under the banner of the so-called "Taiping", and formed the first generation of earth masters after agreement.

However, in Hu Shen's generation, the Earth Master Association was infighting because of the relationship between "Jinling Jane", and finally existed in name only.

After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he looked at the sea snake and said, "This is the origin of the earth's physiognomy. ”

Le Zhengxian was thinking in his heart at this time, why didn't Hu Shen teach himself these things in the past? What is taught is now all methods such as charlatanism, and it is not in the stream, nor is it in the Tao, so it can be said that it is a bit embarrassing to take it out.

The sea snake said: "There are actually five volumes of Ling Jian, and Jin Ling Jian is just one of them. ”

The sea snake said, smiling and holding out five fingers.

Tang Anshu hurriedly asked: "Five volumes?" What do you mean? Five-volume table of contents or only five? ”

"There are only five volumes." The sea snake put away his smile, "Okay, I've told you so much, shouldn't you tell me something, so we can talk to each other." ”

Tang Anshu asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

The sea snake asked: "I want to know, why did the employer repeatedly emphasize that you must be when hiring you, Wu Sihe, and Liu Luoqu, and why did the news of hiring you spread throughout Yongcheng?" ”

When Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian heard the sea snake's words, they suddenly understood one thing, in fact, the old pirate in front of them was not stupid at all, and it could be said that he was wise and foolish.

Tang Anshu replied truthfully: "I don't know, I also want to know why, I don't even know who the employer is now, I haven't found out, Fu Guodong set us up before, just to make us mistakenly think that he is the employer." ”

After thinking for a while, the sea snake looked at Tang Anshu and said: "If you promise to save me out, I will tell you some more things I know, and when you leave safely with me, I promise to tell everything I knew back then, and not hide a word." ”

Sea Snake's words were undoubtedly telling Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian that he was the only person who could tell them the accurate information of "Ling Jian" at the moment.

Tang Anshu pondered for a moment and said, "I can think of a way, but I can't guarantee it 100%. ”

The sea snake smiled: "Just have your words, you listen well, there are five volumes in the book, divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are hidden in five different places, to find gold, first to find soil, to find soil, first to find fire." ”

Tang Anshu immediately had an epiphany: "If you want to find fire, first find wood?" And if you want to find wood, you must first find water. ”

The sea snake nodded: "That's right, the principle of the five elements, for your earthly physiognomy, it makes sense at all." ”

Le Zhengxian also understood: "It is the five elements that are born together. ”

The sea snake replied, "That's right. ”

What was Tang Anshu thinking there, Le Zhengxian was a little puzzled, and asked, "What did you think of?" ”

"Wait, I seem to get it." Tang Anshu raised his eyes and looked at the sea snake suddenly, "The snake master said that there are five books, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so the five books are a set, and the name of the whole set of books is "Ling Jian"? It is divided according to the five elements, which are called "Jinling Jian", "Muling Jian", "Shuiling Jian", "Huoling Jian" and "Tuling Jian"? ”

The sea snake grinned, "Look, I'll just say it, and it's all right." ”

Tang Anshu grabbed the railing, Le Zhengxian also frowned, and after the two subconsciously glanced at each other, they both looked at the sea snake, but no one spoke.

The sea snake read the suspicion from their faces: "Sounds too, right?" But that's the truth, okay, in order to survive, I'll tell you an accurate news, "Jinling Jane" is indeed on Snake Heart Island, and I can't say the rest, otherwise I don't have any bargaining chips for life. ”

Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian just nodded silently, and then Tang Anshu returned to the corner of the wall, sat down slowly against the wall, and recalled the past things that Master had said in the past, as well as the strange key.

Le Zhengxian leaned on the railing, looking at the sea snake with his back to him in the opposite cell, and countless suspicions surfaced in his heart, when he turned back to look at Tang Anshu, at that moment, he seemed to see Hu Shen sitting there, plus everything that happened in the past, he suddenly had an answer in his heart, but the answer made him angry.

●

On the fifth watch, the door of Qiu Yishan's office finally opened, and the people at the inspector level in the police station walked out of it one after another, everyone had a sad look on their faces, and many people were still scolding and scolding.

After everyone left, Qiu Gubo closed the door and turned to look at Qiu Yishan, who was sitting at his desk with his head in his arms.

Qiu Gubo stepped forward and asked, "Dad, can't you take a few out of the cell and hand them over as before?" ”

Qiu Yishan sighed: "Public trial, public execution, all the process must be witnessed by the people, if we go from the cell to take out a few substitutes for the dead, the people are not stupid, you can see at a glance, when the crowd is excited, the scene is uncontrollable, Fu Guodong will use our father and son to calm the situation." ”

Qiu Gubo shook his head: "Then he handed over a few so-called corrupt people who colluded with pirates to come out?" Let's hand over five people? And at least the two of them are at the level of inspectors, isn't that tantamount to letting us sell our brothers? ”

Qiu Yishan let go of his hand: "Yes, if you insist on collusion, we did collude with pirates, but Lao Tzu is also to protect ordinary people, if I don't do that, the sea snakes will even rob ordinary fishermen, even if they don't rob, they have to let those fishermen pay protection fees every month, isn't that the same reason as robbing?" Many years ago, I proposed to Fu Guodong that he send troops to suppress bandits, what do you guess Fu Guodong said? He said that today he killed a sea snake, and tomorrow there will be a sea tiger, seal, and sea lion. ”

Qiu Gubo knew that in fact, although Qiu Yishan had received a lot of benefits from pirates over the years, he had turned a blind eye, but he was indeed embarrassed, if he didn't do that, it would be tantamount to announcing to Fu Guodong that he would no longer be in the same stream, and even he didn't even have the only way to do it.

Qiu Gubo pondered for a moment: "Dad, if I go to Fu Guodong, doesn't he want a hostage?" ”

Qiu Yishan stood up suddenly: "You dare!" ”

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them heard dense footsteps and commotion from downstairs.

Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo immediately walked to the window, looked over, and found that a large number of heavily armed soldiers appeared outside the police station at some point, and those soldiers surrounded the ten detectives, and the two sides were facing each other with guns.

Qiu Yishan grabbed his hat: "Damn! Dare to do it directly on Lao Tzu's territory! ”

Qiu Yishan went downstairs with a gun, and Qiu Gubo followed.

At the entrance of the Yongcheng Police Station, the ten detectives stood back to back, raising their guns to confront the soldiers surrounding them.

Although the soldiers were all armed with spears, there were three light machine guns pointed at them higher up in the surrounding area, and at the slightest order, these ten people would be instantly beaten into meat sauce.

"What? What do you want to do? After Qiu Yishan fired his gun into the sky, he pushed away the soldiers on the periphery, walked straight into the encirclement, and stood with his subordinates, "What do you want to do?" I don't know what this place is? ”

One of the soldiers stepped forward and put his rifle on Qiu Yishan's temple and shouted, "Put the gun down!" ”

Suddenly, there was a gunshot at the entrance of the police station, and a row of bullets hit the ground on the periphery, splashing sparks and dust, and the soldiers on the periphery immediately turned their guns, and a light machine gun on the roof was also immediately aimed at Qiu Gubo, who was holding two flower traps and a grenade in his waist at the door.

"Shoot!" Qiu Gubo said as he walked to Qiu Yishan's side, "As soon as these few things on Lao Tzu's waist ring, everyone is done playing!" Come on! ”

As soon as Qiu Gubo walked to Qiu Yishan's side, a voice sounded from the periphery: "Everyone calm down, just perform official duties, they are all their own people, be careful to brush the gun and hurt your brother." ”

After the soldiers got out of the way, Chi Leichen, who was full of smiles, walked over, came straight to the Qiu father and son, raised his hand and waved: "Put down your guns!" ”

When the soldiers received the order, they neatly lowered their guns, and the machine gunners at the high ground immediately got up and stopped aiming.

Afterwards, Chi Leichen saluted Qiu Yishan decently, and after the salute, he spoke: "Director Qiu, I was ordered to come to arrest the people involved in the Sea Snake case, and the marshal said that you have dug out the moths in those police stations." ”

Qiu Yishan also smiled: "Adjutant Chi doesn't need to make such a big move, right?" ”

Chi Leichen looked left and right: "No, we didn't enter the police station either, but we were worried that if those people and dogs jumped over the wall to resist or escape, it would be troublesome, I am here to help you." ”

Qiu Gubo said: "Don't bother Adjutant Chi." ”

"It's my job." Chi Leichen smiled, "I'm also on military duty. ”

Chi Leichen deliberately said the word "military affairs" very seriously, which means that if you don't hand over people, I will come hard.

Qiu Yishan looked at Qiu Gubo, and then looked at the ten detectives next to him who were actually very frightened, and just when he was about to defend something, Chi Leichen took out a confession: "According to the confession of the sea snake, there are a total of five people who have anything to do with him in the Yongcheng Police Station, namely Inspector Zhang Xiande, Inspector Zhong Yi, third-class inspector Gao Danxue, second-class patrol Chen Lubai and inspector Ma Chi. ”
