After hearing this, Emperor Jianwen, who had just stopped crying, suddenly became infinitely sad again. This time I cried even more, and I almost had to go back to my back a few times.

The old monk who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly got up and walked to Emperor Jianwen's side, and kept helping Emperor Jianwen rub his front heart and beat his back. Men's crying is not the same as women's. Once a man cries, it can always make people feel heart-rending pain. The man's painful cry echoed in the twilight room, creating an incomparably sad atmosphere.

For fear that others would hear it, the old monk hurriedly closed all the windows one by one. Emperor Jianwen also realized the danger of his crying, so he tried his best to control his feelings, and in order to suppress his crying, he bit his lower lip vigorously until he bit out a row of blood-red tooth marks, and finally calmed down.

The two sat quietly on either side of the table, silent. After a while, Emperor Jianwen asked in a hoarse voice crying: "The master hasn't sued me yet, what is your origin?" ”

The old monk did not answer Emperor Jianwen directly, but asked Emperor Jianwen a very strange question: "Your Majesty, do you know that this dynasty has any relationship with monks since Emperor Taizu?" ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded, thinking, of course everyone knows that Emperor Taizu once worked as a monk.

The old monk seemed to guess Emperor Jianwen's inner thoughts, smiled indifferently, and then told a magical story about their Zhu family, as a descendant of the Zhu family, Emperor Jianwen had never heard of this strange thing about their family.

This old monk shows that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is not from Fengyang, Anhui, but Suzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father lived in Suzhou for three generations, and later because the family was very poor, it happened to catch up with the famine, so the Zhu family moved from Suzhou to Fengyang.

When he was in Suzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather had excellent water nature, floated and sunk freely in the water, and could often dive into deep pools to catch big fish. At that time, in the area of Suzhou, there was a very accomplished numerology master, proficient in astronomy and geography, Qimen Dunjia, metaphysical numerology, and people called him Liu Xianshi.

Late one night, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, although the knock was very soft, but it was very urgent, there must be something urgent when someone knocked on the door so late, so he hurriedly lit the oil lamp, got up in his clothes and went to open the door.

When he opened the door, a person flashed in from outside, and by the dim light in the room, he was surprised to find that this person was actually Liu Xianshi.

Liu Xianshi is a celebrity in their area, not to mention ordinary people, it is difficult to invite even officials and dignitaries to him, his usual whereabouts are always erratic, and he often travels. Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather couldn't understand why this famous Liu Xianshi came to him in the middle of the night. Look at Liu Xianshi again, he looks mysterious.

After the two exchanged a few words, it happened that Zhu Yuanzhang's grandmother led Zhu Yuanzhang's father back to his parents' house, so Liu Xianshi went straight to the point as soon as he saw that there was no one else in the house. It turned out that Liu Xianshi came to ask Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather for help.

Because after decades of research by Immortal Master Liu, he discovered a big secret.

Not far from them, there was a deep pool. This deep pool is a bit strange, it looks very calm on the surface, but there are many undercurrents underwater, as long as people get out of the water, it is very easy to be washed away by the undercurrent, and it is difficult to survive. But because there are many big fish in the deep pool, and some people say that there are extremely precious red carp weighing up to 100 catties in the pool, there are always people who venture into the pool to fish, so for hundreds of years, countless people have drowned in this deep pool. And the person who entered the deep pool several times, but was able to survive unscathed, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, could not find a second one. But what Liu Xianshi was interested in was not the red carp in the pool, but a stone rhinoceros that was a thousand or ten thousand times more magical than the red carp.

This stone rhinoceros is not carved by man, but the qi of heaven and earth, under the action of comprehensive factors such as mountains and rivers, water and water, formed a "spirit fetus". After decades of painstaking research, Liu Xianshi finally found the exact location of this stone rhinoceros at the bottom of the deep pool.

In order to test whether his research is correct, in the past few days, every late at night, Liu Xianshi will run to the edge of the pond and observe carefully, because only at a certain moment in the middle of the night, this magical stone rhinoceros will exude a special "aura". After a few days of observation, Immortal Master Liu was sure that his research was correct.

So what's the use of finding this stone rhinoceros? The answer is simple: you can make your descendants emperors and generals.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was very excited. He knew that this Liu Immortal Master was not only unfathomable, but also never spoke, whether it was to treat people or tell fortunes, he had something to say, he never cheated and cheated, and his reputation was excellent.

Since Immortal Master Liu said that this stone rhinoceros has such a magical effect, it is worth risking his life. He hurriedly asked Liu Xianshi what to do.

The method that Liu Xianshi said is a bit unbelievable, and the bones of the ancestors must be used. Then you have to go to the ancestral grave first, dig out the bones of the ancestors, and then wrap them with things, and don't expose the bones, and then dive into the bottom of the deep pool, find the stone rhinoceros, and when the stone rhinoceros opens its mouth, you must quickly fill the bones of the ancestors into its mouth, so that it is okay. But the rhinoceros only opens its mouth once, so it is necessary to fill in the bones at one time, otherwise the work will be wasted.

However, when it came to the specific operation, something went wrong.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, after digging up the bones of his ancestors, found that he had forgotten to take the bag, and if he wanted to go back to find the bag, it would be too late.

After diving to the bottom of the pool, he didn't have much effort to find the stone rhinoceros, and found that it was indeed lifelike, lying at the bottom of the water, like the real thing, and the whole body glowed with a glowing green light.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather swam over, and when he was about to send two bags of bones to the stone rhinoceros's mouth, suddenly, the stone rhinoceros opened its mouth, bit the bones of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, wrapped in crop leaves, and swallowed it. Because although it is a stone rhinoceros, after all, it still has the nature of a rhinoceros, and likes to eat green leaves.

So, the bones of the ancestors of the Zhu family were swallowed by the stone rhinoceros, and Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, when he wanted to stuff the bones of the ancestors of the Liu family, the rhinoceros closed his mouth. This is broken, because Immortal Master Liu said that this rhinoceros will only open its mouth once. Therefore, the bones of the ancestors of the Liu family could not be stuffed into the mouth of the rhinoceros.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather came ashore and told Liu Xianshi about the situation, Liu Xianshi stood there like five thunderbolts, without saying a word, his face was full of extreme disappointment and frustration, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Liu Xianshi asked Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather to sneak into the pool again, hung the bones of the ancestors of the Liu family on the two horns of the rhinoceros, and then wrote a secret spell and wrote a spell: "The left corner is the minister, the right corner is the minister, and the cow mouth is a monk."

It was because of this spell of Immortal Master Liu that Zhu Yuanzhang had the calamity of being a monk. However, after all, the mana of the stone rhinoceros is huge, although Zhu Yuanzhang was made by Liu Xianshi and temporarily became a monk, but he has the emperor's order after all, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang is a monk in the temple, it is said that whenever he is alone in the dead of night, when he cleans the Buddhist hall, he holds a broom, and as long as he says: "Go away, go away", those Buddha statues will automatically move away.

Emperor Jianwen listened with relish, and the expression on his face was a lot more relaxed, and after the old monk finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said to the old monk: "I don't know where the master heard such a story, although it is ridiculous, but it can be regarded as an ingenious fabrication."

"Haha, made up? In this vast world, there are many strange and wonderful things due to fate, and what actually happens may be even more unbelievable than this", the old monk picked up the tea after speaking, took a sip and moistened his throat, and then lowered his voice again, and asked Emperor Jianwen very mysteriously: "Your Majesty, do you know who this Liu Xianshi is?" ”

Emperor Jianwen shook his head blankly.

The expression on the old monk's face suddenly became stern: "This Liu Immortal Master is none other than the ancestor of Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the minister of the dynasty."

Emperor Jianwen couldn't help but be surprised.

Emperor Jianwen knew that Liu Bowen was the first adviser under his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, he was knowledgeable, like a god, proficient in scripture and history, and was compared to Zhuge Liang. But because his grandfather was extremely suspicious, the founding ministers were all eliminated by him on various charges. This is for the stability of the Zhu family. This Liu Bowen is no exception, he was suppressed and rectified very badly by his grandfather, and in the end, his grandfather asked another minister to poison the sick Liu Bowen to death.

The old monk continued: "Taizu got rid of Liu Bowen, but because the Liu family is not an ordinary family, starting from his ancestor Liu Xianshi, they are all proficient in Taoism and Yin and Yang numerology, so that he Liu family will inevitably be used by them to use strange techniques to retaliate, this time the Zhu family's cannibalism, as well as the catastrophe of His Majesty, can not but be said to have a great relationship with the Liu family."

Emperor Jianwen couldn't help but shudder, he felt that it was too terrible. He was the most beloved grandson of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect to fall into such a fate, and his tragic fate was still inseparable from the word "monk". Is this karma that can't be avoided?

It was already dark outside, and the light inside the house was already dark, and it was even darker at this time. The two of them said these things in the dark, which made Emperor Jianwen even more terrified. The old monk seemed to feel the change in Emperor Jianwen's feelings, so he got up and fumbled to light the oil lamp.

The beating bean-like lamp head makes the dark room a little more vibrant. And then, the old monk revealed an even bigger secret.
