Chapter 535: Yuan Tiangang's deduction
As soon as he heard a strange sound coming from the altar, Jada was so frightened that he hid behind Xu Xiaoyuan, and the momentum of scolding just now was instantly gone.
Fang Zheng, who was packing up a few formation bases on the ground, walked over, grabbed the jar that Jin Huang had placed on the ground, shook it, and put his ear to listen to it.
"Little thing, I can't see that you're quite powerful, and you're not honest yet." After saying this, Fang Zheng took out a yellow handkerchief from his pocket.
Chen Ziyang saw that Fangzheng's handkerchief was more special, in addition to the very fine workmanship, the handkerchief was also embroidered with red silk thread with a huge yin and yang fish pattern, and there were some other talismans around it, obviously this handkerchief was not ordinary. Then Fang Zheng tore open the seal affixed to the mouth of the jar, and instantly put the yellow handkerchief into the jar.
After turning his hand around the jar a few times, Fang Zheng took the handkerchief out of the jar again. This time, Chen Ziyang saw that the handkerchief just now had been wrapped into a small bag, and the bulging bag inside should be filled with Yin Spirit.
As if he was very unwilling, the yin spirit struggled desperately in the handkerchief, making the whole little burden move left and right, and finally Fang Zheng tied the bag with a red silk thread.
After another baby's cry came from the handkerchief, the Yin Spirit struggled in the handkerchief for a few moments, and then never moved again.
"Give me this thing." Xu Xiaoyuan, who had recovered from the shock just now, was talking to the other party.
"This thing...... What do you want it for, if you don't handle this kind of thing well, it will fly out and hurt people. Fang Zheng said with some hesitation.
From his tone, Chen Ziyang could tell that Fang originally wanted to refuse Xu Xiaoyuan's request, but considering the previous matter, he still expressed his worries and did not directly refuse.
"This thing has very heavy yin qi, it should be able to refine the pill, don't worry, I have learned how powerful it is, I will be careful."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyuan say this, Fang Zheng didn't insist anymore, and after handing over the burden to Xu Xiaoyuan's hands, he turned around and went to clean up the few array sticks on the ground.
Chen Ziyang stared at the sticks carved with various talismans and didn't know what material for a while. Fang Zheng was originally a Maoshan Spirit Master, while Jin Huang was a Maoshan Formation Master.
But just now, in order to be able to trap the Yin Spirit, the identities of these two people were reversed, and Jin Huang went to deal with the Yin Spirit, but instead Fang Zheng arranged a formation at Xu Xiaoyuan's feet for defense.
It seems that as long as this set of formation bases knows the method of manipulation, anyone with a little mana in the body can use it, but I don't know if I need anything to supplement it after using it once, it seems that there is not much mana contained in these array bases, otherwise it will not be useless after being hit by the yin spirit.
felt that this set of formation bases was a good thing, Chen Ziyang thought that when he had the opportunity in the future, he must get a set from Liu Cong, so that when he arranged any formations in the future, he would not have to scrape together to find magic weapons.
Leaving the two bodies in the grave of a house near the observatory, the remaining 21 people continued on their way, heading towards the row of palaces on the stone wall in the distance.
I don't know if it's because of the appearance of the yin spirit out of thin air, or because the prophecy on the stone slab in front of Yuan Tiangang's statue is too terrifying, the team has to advance extremely carefully along the way, and the speed is also very slow, and by the time they can vaguely see the palace in the distance, it is already time for dinner.
Zhang Linfu called Liu Cong aside, and the two of them muttered alone for a while, and then Liu Cong decided not to let the team enter the palace for the time being today, but to stay in place to find a camp, and go back the next day after resting.
Chen Ziyang knew that this was the result of Zhang Linfu and Liu Cong's discussion, and it was estimated that the two of them felt that the people in the team needed time to digest what they had experienced today, and if they moved forward so rashly, the morale of the army would be easily weakened.
Although there is this rare time to rest, but few people in the team can rest steadily, all of them are thinking about the pattern on the screen they saw today, and they don't know whether to believe the prophecy on the screen.
Yang Lei wrapped his sleeping bag and moved towards Chen Ziyang little by little, how did his posture look like he had turned into a caterpillar. There was no way, it was too cold outside, and Yang Lei really didn't want to get out of the sleeping bag.
"Er Yang, is there any story about Yuan Tiangang's prophecy, I want to hear it." After lying down side by side beside Chen Ziyang, Yang Lei came up with such a sentence.
"Why are you suddenly interested in these things? Do you want to see if Yuan Tiangang's prediction is so accurate? ”
"Yes and no. You can believe in this thing, but you can't believe it all, just like you said, people are a life, you can't fight, some things are better than facing them calmly. I just can't sleep, it's a little uncomfortable to lie down like this, and listening to a story might even hypnotize me. ”
Although Yang Lei didn't admit it, Chen Ziyang knew that Yang Lei was worried about himself.
"I don't know too much about Yuan Tiangang, I've only heard one story about his prophecy, I can't sleep anyway, I'll tell you about it.
Once Li Shimin set up a banquet in the back garden and invited Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. This time, he invited two people over to let Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng calculate the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.
During the chat, Yuan Tiangang suddenly got up and gave a salute, saying that he would recommend a talent to Li Shimin. As soon as his words came out, the prime ministers next to him were not happy, and even Li Chunfeng chuckled in his heart, which was a big taboo.
Recommending talents is a major national affair and must go through formal procedures. Li Shimin had just established the Tang Dynasty, and the most important charter, Yuan Tiangang's words violated the rules set by Li Shimin. What's more, even if you want to recommend talents, it is a matter for civil officials and prime ministers.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang's status was low, and he was only made a petty official by Li Shimin, and he did not have the qualifications to recommend talents at all, and the prime minister at the time, Wei Zheng, was also at the banquet, Yuan Tiangang was undoubtedly guilty of the following.
However, Li Shimin was broad-minded and did not blame Yuan Tiangang, but asked Yuan Tiangang who he recommended and what kind of talent he had.
Yuan Tiangang said: The skills of the people he recommends are not ordinary, and the best thing is to figure out the psychology of others, as long as he looks at him for a while, he can guess what the person who looks at him is thinking.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng meaningfully, and smiled without saying a word. Wei Zheng smiled and asked Yuan Tiangang who he was recommending. Li Shimin and Wei Zhengjunchen only regarded Yuan Tiangang's words as drunken gibberish during the banquet, and did not take it to heart.
But Yuan Tiangang ignored the attitude of the two people, and said on the spot that the person he recommended was Wen Buzai. I hope to make good use of his skills and let Wen Bujiao assist in breaking the prison and solving the case, so that some unnecessary unjust, false and wrongful cases can be reduced.
Wei Zheng asked Li Shimin for approval and brought this person to help the wine. Li Shimin was also very curious, so he agreed.
Soon, someone invited Wen Buqi to the palace. As soon as Li Shimin and Wei Zheng saw Wen Bujie, they all shook their heads secretly. And Li Chunfeng, who secretly pinched a handful of sweat for Yuan Tiangang, also felt that Yuan Tiangang was a little confused.
This Wen Bu has a bad face, at first glance, he is the appearance of Ke's father and wife's boss, although he has strange skills, but he also has a short-lived appearance, it should not be long-lived, how can Yuan Tiangang recommend this person to the emperor?
Wei Zheng was not polite, and directly called Wen Buqi in front of him, and asked him to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Wen Buzai looked up at Wei Zheng for a while, his eyes lit up suddenly, he hurriedly took two steps back, bowed down and said, "The villain's stunt is not witchcraft, but it is innate!"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng was also surprised, he couldn't imagine that Wen Buqi was so powerful, and he immediately guessed what he was thinking.
At this time, a palace maid came up with a plate of dried apricots, and suddenly tripped over, and the dried apricots on the plate spilled downward.
Wen Buqiu, who had just revealed his guessing of other people's skills, had the intention to reveal his kung fu again, he quickly shook forward, his body was as fast as a ghost, and he instantly caught the dried apricots that were about to fall to the ground out of thin air, and put them back on the plate.
By the time Wen Buzai put all the dried apricots on the plate, the palace maid holding the dried apricots had just stabilized her figure, which showed how fast his body was.
This kung fu immediately calmed everyone down, and Li Shimin cheered loudly, took the lead in applauding, and ordered Wen Buzai to arrange work immediately. But after the banquet, Li Shimin sent someone to find Chai Bilong and ordered him to get rid of Wen Bujiao!
Chai Bilong's word "wall dragon" is his nickname, because of his light skills, so he got such a nickname. It was only fitting that he was sent to assassinate Wen Buzai, and he was the only one who could win in terms of speed.
After the banquet ended, Li Chunfeng followed behind Yuan Tiangang and neither spoke nor left. Yuan Tiangang knew Li Chunfeng's thoughts, so he smiled, and turned around to ask Li Chunfeng if he felt that he was reckless in recommending Wen Buqiu.
Li Chunfeng told Yuan Tiangang that he was not doing this to help Wen Bujiao, but to harm him.
Yuan Tiangang nodded, deeply convinced. Wen Buzai can not only speculate on the psychological activities of others, but also has superb martial arts, and he has come and gone without a trace, such a person is indeed a very dangerous person in the eyes of the emperor.
Li Chunfeng thought that Wen Buqi would soon have a bloody disaster, the emperor didn't like him, and he would be very afraid of his talent, and he would definitely try his best to get rid of this person as soon as possible, he didn't understand why Yuan Tiangang wanted to do it.
Li Chunfeng thought that Yuan Tiangang saw Wen Bujiao's antipathy, so he wanted to wake up Li Shimin in advance and let Li Shimin get rid of this person as soon as possible.
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said his thoughts. It turned out that after Yuan Tiangang's calculations, this descendant of Wen Bujiao would gain power in the future and would steal and dig up the Tang Tomb. If Li Shimin treats him better now, maybe his descendants will be lighter when they attack the tomb of the Tang emperor in the future.
But Yuan Tiangang didn't expect Wen Buqi to show his light skills during the banquet.
In advance, Yuan Tiangang had told Wen Bujiao not to show off his light skills, but Wen Buzheng was in a hurry to gain power, forgot Yuan Tiangang's entrustment, and did a big mistake. It was precisely because Wen Buqi showed light skills that Li Shimin had murderous intentions.
Maybe it was destined in the dark, Chai Bilong assassinated Wen Buzai without success, and since then, Wen Buzai fled to the rivers and lakes, incognito.
More than 200 years later, Wen Tao, a descendant of Wen Buzai, became a warlord and led a large army to dig up the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty.
The Qianling Tomb where Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were buried together was not dug by Wen Tao because it was too strong, but except for the Qianling Tomb, none of the other Tang Dynasty imperial tombs ran away. ”
"I'll be obedient, this Yuan Tiangang's ability to predict the future is really not nonsense." Hearing this, Yang Lei was a little worried.
"Actually, legends and stories should be listened to for fun, and don't take them too seriously. I estimate that this story was fabricated by later generations based on Wen Tao's theft and excavation of the Tang Emperor's tomb, just to put gold on Yuan Tiangang's body and prove how accurate his prediction was.
If this is true, you can think about it the other way around. If Yuan Tiangang hadn't speculated that Wen Buzai's descendants would steal and dig up the Tang Tombs, then maybe Li Shimin would not have discovered Wen Buzai's talents, and he would not have sent someone to kill him, causing the descendants of the Wen family to hold a grudge against the Tang Dynasty, and there would not have been a matter of stealing and digging up the imperial tombs later.
And if Yuan Tiangang had directly told Li Shimin the results of his deduction at that time, instead of adopting this roundabout method, maybe the result would have been completely different. Maybe Li Shimin will treat the Wen family well, and the Tang Emperor's tomb will not be stolen and dug up.
So prophecy is a very contradictory thing, sometimes you know the prophecy, it will happen, but when you don't know, something that may happen may or may not happen, it's all up to people's choice. I think that's why the patterns depicted on both sides of the screen are different.
I thought that the two patterns on the top of the screen were continuous, and the reverse pattern was what happened next to the front pattern. The basis for my judgment is the difference in the facial expressions of Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian on the picture.
But now that I think about it, is there such a possibility, the pattern on both sides of the screen is not a continuous thing, but is completely unrelated, referring to two possible outcomes, if you look at it this way, the things on the screen are not too much to worry about. ”
After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei pondered for a while, this kind of logical thing is indeed a little difficult for his pasty head to think clearly. After a long while, Yang Lei pursed his lips and nodded.
"Good guy, I originally wanted to persuade you, but you persuaded you in turn, or you are so good, you think things are different from others, let you say this, I don't think this matter is a big deal."
Although the conversation between the two men was not loud, it was still clearly heard by the others in the quiet camp. Hearing the conversation between the two people, Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing smiled, turned over, and fell asleep very steadily.
