Chapter 16: The Hidden Immortals
The book describes a carpenter master, this person is a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu, surnamed Xiang Ze, is a famous craftsman in the south, the inheritance is Suzuo furniture skills, known as a thousand hands high, whether construction, carpenter or stonemason, carving are extremely proficient, especially in the craft of the craft is extremely fast, complex and changeable, dazzling, unless he teaches by hand, even if you fiddle in front of you, you don't want to steal the slightest skill, so there is a thousand hands high nickname.
During the reign of Shenzong, there were many fires in the palace, and the three major halls and the three palaces of Qianqing, Kunning and Cining were burned down.
Zhu Youxiao is not loved by his grandfather and father, no one is responsible, so he plays around in the palace, just when the palace is rebuilt, under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is also interested in architecture and carpenter, this thousand hands are a smart person, although Zhu Youxiao is not favored, but after all, he is a royal nobleman, seeing that he likes it, he attracted the little prince with his own skills.
I didn't think that Zhu Youxiao was talented and intelligent in this, and in a short period of time, he learned the skills of Qianshou Gao, and even left Qianshou Gao in the palace and worshiped him as a teacher. After the death of Shenzong and Guangzong, Zhu Youxiao, who was only sixteen years old, ascended the throne by mistake, and the thousand-handed high rose to prominence.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a strange explosion in Beijing, which caused great damage to the city, more than 20,000 people were killed and injured, tens of thousands of houses were turned into powder, people and animals were uneasy, Xizong hid under the dragon case during breakfast to escape, the strange thing is that although the explosion caused devastating damage to the surrounding land, the center of the explosion was intact, not an inch of wood was burned, and the Tunguska explosion that occurred in Russia later was very similar, and therefore became a historical unsolved case, no one can say why.
Zhu Youxiao also issued an edict on himself in this regard, giving amnesty to the world. However, in just one year, Zhu Youxiao went to Xiyuan for a cruise, and a sudden wind blew Xizong into the water while rowing.
At this time, Thousand Hands High offered a person, who was met by Thousand Hands High when he was young and traveled and claimed to be a Lingyin Immortal. When Qianshou Gao traveled to a village in Tongling, Guangxi, there was a plague in the village, and Qianshou Gao was also infected, and in despair, this Lingyin Immortal suddenly entered the village, and in less than a month, all the people infected with the plague in the village were cured.
But he cures the disease is not medicine, but cut the palm of the hand, fill a bowl of blood for people to drink, the person who has drunk it will be alive in less than a day, his blood is not like ordinary people, but as colorless and tasteless as clear water, drinking refreshing and delicious, called Linglu drink by the people in the village, he only treats ten people a day, and as soon as it is finished, he will immediately eat a large amount of fresh meat and blood.
After curing the villagers, he built a fire platform, and then summoned the dead bodies that had been buried after dying of the plague, and these corpses that should have rotted in the soil seemed to be alive, and under the control of the Lingyin Immortals, they went into the fire platform and burned to ashes. Later, a grave pit was built on the west mountain of the village, which was called a mourning ground to appease the dead.
The thousand-handed-high strategy made Xizong overjoyed, at this moment this Zhu Youxiao was addicted to fun for many years, and was frightened by this, and it was difficult to get out of bed, so he immediately sent an edict to find this Lingyin immortal into the palace, and in less than half a month, he found someone in Yunnan.
However, the Lingyin Immortal refused to accept the edict, and said that this was a curse of heaven, and it was not allowed to go against heaven to save people who should not be saved, and used magic to wound officers and soldiers and escaped. Xizong Longyan was furious, and it was night when he secretly sent Shangshu Huo Weihua and Taishi Ling Xu Wende to come.
The Lingyin Immortal has a good means, it is difficult for ordinary officers and soldiers to catch this person, but these two people have strange skills, they have to do this, Xizong heard that the Lingyin Immortal refused to enter the palace to treat him, and he was worried, so he asked Huo Weihua and Xu Dewen to personally supervise the matter, and asked to arrest the Lingyin Immortal within a month.
Half a month later, he suddenly had a dream, dreaming that an old man with a length of 7 feet and a white beard suddenly came, grabbed Xizong, and said with a big laugh on his lips, "You are a person who is cursed by heaven, and you dare to seek me to avoid heavenly punishment?" ”
As he spoke, he opened a mouth as big as a dingkou and swallowed Xizong in one gulp. Xizong was pleasantly surprised from the dream, only to feel frightened and inexplicable, and his whole body was sore, but at this time, there was good news from Jinyiwei, saying that Huo Shangshu and Xu Taishi had caught the Lingyin Immortal and were being escorted to the capital, and they would arrive in a few days.
It turned out that Huo Weihua and Xu Wende thought that the two of them might not be able to catch the Lingyin Immortal, so they invited the masters from Qingcheng Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, and after discovering the Lingyin Immortal on the border of western Hubei Province, they set up a nine-day magic circle to trap him.
Hearing that he caught the Lingyin Immortal, Xizong felt a little at ease, and he pressed this strange dream, at that time, the Lingyin Immortal was secretly escorted to the capital, because he was injured by the magic circle, he suffered a big loss of qi and blood, and cut the skin and flesh without blood, but Xizong recognized that this person was the old man who swallowed him in the dream, and his heart became more and more frightened, and Qianshou Gao also confirmed that this person was indeed a Lingyin Immortal.
So Huo Weihua said that he would choose a feng shui treasure to let the Lingyin Immortal heal, and at the same time build a magic circle so that he could not escape. Under the auspices of Huo Weihua, he found a feng shui secret, and then Xizong personally supervised the construction of the magic circle, which was called the Zhenxian Palace, also known as the Spirit Terrace.
After that, every three days, a special person took the spirit dew drink for Xi Zong to take, and in less than half a month, Xi Zong recovered his body, and he was much more energetic than before. It's just that this situation didn't last long, a few months later, Xizong suddenly swollen all over his body, and died soon after, what is even more strange is that Huo Weihua, Xu Wende and other people involved in this matter died violently one after another, and Qianju Gao disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew the reason.
And the location of the Spirit Terrace has become a secret that is difficult to decipher with the death of these people. This is where the content of the book comes to an abrupt end.
Chu Ye knew a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but Chu Ye had no impression of this content, if it weren't for the fact that he was somewhat similar to the Lingyin Immortal in the book at this moment, he would only treat it as a wild history at most.
It is recorded in the book that the Lingyin Immortals love to eat raw meat, eat blood, sleep day and night and are tireless, very human, and can manipulate dead corpses, and their power is infinite. Except for the manipulation of the dead, everything else found confirmation in Chu Ye.
It's a pity that the book doesn't say the origin of the Lingyin Immortal, but it's always a clue. After thinking about it, Chu Ye decided to borrow the book back first, but he didn't expect an accident in the process of borrowing the book.
The books in the library are all printed and encoded into the computer file, and when the borrower registers and scans the code, he finds that the book is not in the library, and there is no library code on it.
"Are you sure the book is in the library?" The borrower asked, a little surprised.
"It's not from the museum, I'm looking for you to borrow something?" Chu Ye also looked inexplicable.
"Then you wait, I'll check it again. Hey, not really, where did you find this book? The borrower asked again.
"It's over there." Chu Ye pointed to the popular science area on the upper right and said.
The borrower glanced at it, "I'm sorry, this book is not in the warehouse, and it can't be borrowed, you can look at other books." ”
Chu Ye could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and walked out of the library.
The wind outside is so strong that it can almost blow people up, Chu Ye doesn't like the winter in Beijing very much, the dry air can almost absorb the moisture of the human body, not to mention that the irregular cold wind blows on the skin like a blunt knife cutting meat, Chu Ye, who is a little afraid of the cold, feels unsustainable every winter, only this year is different, no matter how low the temperature outside is, how strong the wind is, there is always a heat in Chu Ye's body. Such a change made Chu Ye not know whether to be happy or afraid.
Out of the library, Chu Ye immediately looked up information about the book "Dream Strange Chronicles" on the Internet, but unfortunately there was no record of this book on the Internet. But Chu Ye had an idea in his heart,
When he got home, he couldn't wait to find the Swiss Army Knife, looking at his bloodless palm, he couldn't help but tremble with fear and excitement, both expecting and afraid to poke the last window paper open, what if it wasn't?
When the tip of the knife touched the flesh of his palm, Chu Ye was already a little difficult to breathe.
A piercing ringtone suddenly exploded in his ears, Chu Ye screamed in fright, threw away the saber in his hand, and then a burst of anger hit his heart, he opened the round table in front of him, and then grabbed the mobile phone and wanted to throw it aside, but the caller made Chu Ye quickly calm down.
