Chapter 21: The Lair by the River

The burrow is empty, and the wat is full of 'beds'. The withered grass and withered poplar used to be a singing and dancing field.

In the midst of a raging fire. The gills wanted to take Hong Xiuquan away, but Hong Xiuquan begged bitterly, saying that he was ambitious, could he give him one last chance. He wants to possess and take away a person, and use this person's identity to make a comeback.

The gills asked, who do you want to attach to, Emperor Tongzhi, don't think about it.

Hong Xiuquan said a name, and the gills looked at him with admiration, and felt that Hong Xiuquan was really a character.

The person Hong Xiuquan wants to give up is none other than his own son Hong Tianguifu.

Or that Hong Xiuquan can be called a generation of heroes, and he can also do it to his own son. Hong Xiuquan thought so. Although the city of Tianjing was broken and the center of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed, the Taiping army in the whole country was still there, and there were hundreds of thousands of people. What if these people make up? Yes, with the correct strategic deployment, steady and steady, it will not be a problem to make trouble for a few more years.

For these stragglers to come together, they must re-establish the hub of power, and they need a leader. And the most suitable person for this leader is the young king Hong Tianguifu. The legal procedure of the succession to the throne, the natural divine power, even if the child ascended the throne, the Manchu civil and military had to kowtow willingly.

Gills thought about it and agreed. He was also secretly excited in his heart, he used to be a good judge in the 'yin' division when the tolerance was simply weak, and he was completely able to influence the situation in the world and affect history.

At that time, the young king Hong Tianguifu had been covered by Li Xiucheng to leave the city, and the gills did not stay in Tianjing. Take Hong Xiu's whole soul out of the city to chase. Please Baidu じじ,Thank you!

Hong Tianguifu is still protected by loyal ministers and righteous people. They go out day and night, do not dare to enter the big city, burrow into the old forests, and take the remote roads that no one walks. The fish gills chased all the way, he had just decided to leave the 'underworld' at that time, and he had not yet grasped and experienced the escape from the 'yin' division, and he didn't dare to use too powerful spells. You can only use stupid methods to pursue according to clues.

After traveling through many provinces, they finally found their traces in a deep mountain. There are not many people around Hong Tianguifu, and the Qing army has encircled and suppressed him several times. Scattered everyone around me. Only a few guards followed. At that time, they entered a large village, just in time for the drizzle to be 'Meng' and 'Meng', the road was muddy, and the group was sleepy and tired.

In the heavy rain, the guards took Hong Tianguifu to a large landlord's house for the night, and at this time, the gills also arrived. He was dressed as an ordinary person, wearing a hat to protect him from the rain on his head, and he also stayed in this house.

The landlord was enthusiastic about good deeds, and successively arranged two groups of people in adjacent rooms, and also arranged such things as meals, hot water for washing feet, etc. After eating, the sky was 'colored', the rain was pouring outside, and the wind blew the 'door' board clicked.

No one thought that this man who came in later like a farmer would actually be a ghost from the 'underworld'.

Hong Xiuquan was in a hurry, urging the fish gills to do everything they could, so that they could give up on their son. The opportunity at night is too good, in the dead of night, the ghost sends the 'yin' spirit to possess him, and he can do it without knowing the ghost.

The fish gills faintly sensed that something was wrong, and he secretly did not move, not in a hurry, waiting for the development of events.

After the third watch, he opened the 'door' to see that outside the room where Hong Tianguifu lived, there were two guards, these two people were so sleepy that they had fallen asleep under the eaves. Hong Xiuquan's 'yin' soul urged again and again, and the gills looked at the sky 'color' and it was almost bright, and it was too late if he didn't do it.

Just as he was about to pass, suddenly there was a "whoosh" footsteps outside, and the lights and torches in the dark rainy night shone like day. With a loud bang, a group of people broke through the 'door' and entered, all holding weapons and raising their eyebrows. swarmed up and grabbed the two guards, and then kicked open the room inside, only to hear a noisy sound, Hong Tianguifu was wearing underwear, his face was pale, and he was escorted out with his hands tied upside down.

The gills were secretly funny, fortunately he was careful, otherwise it would be Hong Xiuquan who was caught this time.

Later, when Hong Tianguifu was in Nanchang City, the gills of the fish hid in the crowd with Hong Xiuquan's 'yin' soul, and watched the teenage children tied to the stakes, and the 'meat' was cut by people with a knife, and for three days and three nights, the blood flowed all over the stage, and they died miserably.

In the years that followed, the gills of the fish fell into the world with Hong Xiuquan's 'yin' soul. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed and the empire died overnight, which not only deeply stabbed Hong Xiuquan, but also gave the gills of fish an insight. He became more and more interested in the impermanence of life and death, and while cultivating himself, he was also searching for the true meaning of life in the world.

It's been a long time since all that was said. I was stupid to listen to the bell, no one expected that there would be such a magnificent history.

"And where can we find him?" Xie Ling asked.

Yu Gill stood up, picked up Tang Yan's body, and said, "Jiangbian No. 5 Pier." He said: "Hong Xiuquan's generation of 'rape' males, I expected that there would be a backlash, but I didn't expect to be able to endure until now, and the timing was very accurate." ”

He staggered out with the corpse in his arms, and without looking back, he said, "Minail? Three soul refining beads, you know where to find me. "It's getting farther and farther away.

Xie Ling 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' his eyebrows: "Trouble." Let's get some rest. Then go to Pier 5. ”

It's getting late, so we're resting here. Lying on the 'bed', my brain was 'messy' buzzing, all kinds of strange thoughts were 'messy' running in it, and I finally fell asleep and had many 'messy' nightmares.

When I woke up the next day, it was bright outside, I sat up in a daze, and saw steaming soy milk fritters on the table.

Seeing that I was awake, he said, "Eat, he bought it in the morning."

After tossing for so long, I was also hungry, so I picked up the fritters and devoured them. Xie Ling didn't eat, and looked at me sadly. Seeing that his eyes were strange, he asked what was wrong.

"I can't get rid of responsibility for this incident, and after the incident, I must go to the 'Yin' Division to close the case. I don't know how long it will take. Xie Ling said.

I put down the fritters and wiped my hands with a tissue, not knowing what to say.

Xie Ling opened his satchel and took out a book from it and threw it to me. I took it in my hand and looked at it, it was an ancient book of imitation threading, and on it was handwritten in simplified Chinese characters: Secret Ten Thousand Laws. I was stunned, I still remember that I used to read this book on the table at his house, but at that time it was the original version of traditional characters, there was no punctuation on it, and the first two were big.

I opened the book, and it was all simplified characters, densely packed with handwriting, written in small letters, stroke by stroke, clear, and there were annotations made with pens of different colors in the middle.

"What is this?" I asked.

Xie Ling said: "This is my hand-copied law book "Secret Ten Thousand Laws", this journey is far away, I can't teach you anything, let's give you this book first." If you don't understand anything, you can ask Xiaohui or Nanhua. The spells here are a little simple, a little complicated, according to your personal ability, don't be reluctant, don't think about eating a fat man in one bite, see as much as you can. ”

My eyes were a little 'damp', and what he meant by this was a bit like the last words of the 'handover'.

"If you go to the 'underworld' this time, will something happen?" I asked.

Xie Ling shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I'm worthy of my conscience." ”

"Don't they all say that the 'underworld' is the most just, don't the gods and ghosts there know what you have done in the yang world?" I asked.

Xie Ling smiled: "Have you heard of Peng Zu's story?" Peng Zu lived for eight hundred and eight, and his secret was to bribe the judges, roll up the life and death books with his name written on them into a roll and hide them in the mezzanine, and no one would tick off his name. This story has an element of jokes, but it shows a problem, there are leaks and holes in the 'underworld' that can be drilled, and not everyone can reflect in them. ”

"What is the 'underworld' like?" I asked curiously, "Is it similar to the yang world, there is a group of ghosts in charge of the 'yin' souls?" ”

"It's hard to describe in human language. Zi Fei Yu knows the knowledge of the fish, and wants to know the 'underworld', so let's go and see it for myself when I die. Xie Ling said.

A word blocked me, and we simply packed up our things and checked out. Stopped a car on the street and went straight to Pier 5.

Pier No. 5 is an important freight terminal on the river, which is responsible for the transportation of coal, charcoal, and building materials in the city.

The river is slight, and a row of plywood bungalows is built against the wharf for people who live in the wharf. There are several flat-bottomed boats floating in the river, the river water is gray and thick, and when you look at it from the riverside, it is gray 'color'. This is not pure, slightly brown 'colored', revealing a dark solemnity.

A ship docked at the dock, a group of workers were unloading the ship, it was so cold, they were only wearing thin clothes, some of them were rolling 'pants' and 'legs'.

Jieling took out the beads and twisted them in his hand, and the beads glowed with a strange light. He looked up, his gaze falling on the row of improvised rooms.

"The dumb ones are there."

We walked past together, and from time to time trucks whizzed by, rolling up the dust, and we hurried to cover our faces. One foot deep and one foot shallow, come to the front of the simple house. These houses have formed a complex shanty community that is dirty, 'messy' and full of sewage.

There is a man squatting at the entrance of the 'door' of the community, sucking and eating noodles, his face is full of ash, and his rice bowl is dirty and he can't see the original 'color'.

He looked straight at us and didn't speak.

The bell touched it and motioned for me to go to the 'door' of the room. On the eaves of the 'door', there is a gray 'color' round sign, and two very strange words are written on it. The word above should be "heaven", but the two horizontal ones are long at the top and short at the bottom; The word below is "country", but the box is "king", not "jade".

"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Xie Ling whispered.;
