Chapter 221: Secret Rumors, Eccentric Taoist Sanqing!

The voice fell.

Cheng Yanjin pointed to the halfway slope in the distance and replied: "Lord Qin, it's bad, the rut mark has reached there, Lord Qin, you can go over and take a look." ”

Qin Zulai and the others quickly followed the rut mark and walked over.

Halfway up the hill, I saw dozens of empty carriages stacked here and there.

The horses of the carriage were unreined and ran everywhere.

And nearby, there is nothing but stones.

"It seems...... Something strange may seem like it. ”

Qin Zulai said softly.

Han Min also nodded at this time, "It's really strange, the rut mark stopped here when it arrived, indicating that someone had unloaded the military salary here, but there weren't many people's footprints nearby." ”

In the distance, there was no footprint of a single person except for the footprints of the horses. ”

"So, how did those people disappear into thin air, and how did they get so much money to be paid, and why did they, why did they abandon the wagons here?"

Here, it's really weird everywhere.

A million pieces of military pay can't be transported by people without a horse-drawn carriage, so it's even weirder.

Even Qin Zulai felt that the statement of ghosts was really becoming more and more appropriate.

Here!!

It's a big haunted scene!!

However, the more this is the case,

The more Qin Zulai felt that this matter was someone pretending to be a ghost, and there were only two possibilities why he did it.

Either they use the legend of the ghost to achieve their own goals, and all the blame is put on the ghost.

Either

It is to use these things to divert the attention of others, so as to hide one's true actions and purposes.

Qin Zulai believes that the people behind all this will definitely not be able to escape these two possibilities.

It's just that it's the reason for now, and he can't be sure for the time being.

"Huh??"

At this time, Qin Zulai's brows suddenly moved.

He crouched down and began to scrutinize the rut marks.

He was in a hurry just now and didn't check it carefully, but now he looked back at the footprints of himself and the others all the way, and then looked at the rut marks and suddenly his eyes flashed.

"I see, no wonder it's so mysterious, it's like this. ”

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth suddenly curled.

Han Min had been secretly looking at Qin Zulai, and at this moment, he saw Qin Zulai smile for the first time,

Hurriedly said in surprise: "Qin County Order, you ...... Did you crack some secret??"

His voice was a little excited, he didn't know, he thought that Han Min thought that Qin Zulai had already found the truth.

Qin Zulai smiled lightly and nodded.

But what was cracked, he did not say.

Now, he just understands some little tricks, and the real methods of the people behind the scenes, he has not yet understood.

Several people returned to the camp, and Qin Zulai suddenly asked: "General Cheng, you said that you saw that headless man lifting a particularly large stone and killing a person, so you are sure that he is Xiang Yu's, right?"

Cheng Yanjin nodded and replied: "The power can carry the tripod, except for the overlord Xiang Yu, who else can do it?"

"So, where is that stone?" Qin Zulai asked again.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly walked over with Qin Zulai, pointed to a big stone one person high and said, "Lord Qin, this is it!!"

Qin Zulai gave Lu Shisan a look, and Lu Shisan walked over directly, hugged the big stone, and lifted it vigorously in an instant.

His face turned red instantly, his teeth were about to be crushed, and then he ...... He lay down.

The next moment,

He got up, shook his head and said, "Lord Qin, this big stone is too heavy, and I can't move at all when I carry it." ”

Qin Zulai also saw it in his eyes.

He thought for a moment and asked, "You know how well you know, who else in this world can do such a thing?"

"Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!!" several people replied in unison.

Qin Zulai pursed his mouth, he was already too lazy to pay attention to them.

He circled the big stone a few times, and then, lightly tapping the stone.

Not to mention, this stone is really strong.

I withdrew my hand, but found that there were some water stains on my hand.

"Water??"

Qin Zulai's brows furrowed slightly, he turned his head to look at the stones in other places, and saw that those stones had already dried up because of the sun's rays.

"Could it be...... Do you say ......"

Qin Zulai's eyes flickered for a few moments, and then he called Lu Thirteen and whispered something in Lu Thirteen's ear,

Lu 13 nodded hurriedly, divided five by two, and climbed onto the stone.

I don't know what to do, Lu Shisan quickly jumped down again.

He walked up to Qin Zulai, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Qin, it's really as you expected just now......

Listen to Lu Shisan's detailed explanation......

In Qin Zulai's eyes, a flash of essence flashed.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and the smile deepened.

I see, I see!!

He finally understood what tricks the so-called Western Chu Overlord was playing.

But what is the purpose of the people behind this scene who have spent so much effort and played so many tricks to create such ghost rumors? ?

You know, at the end of all roots, you can chase profits.

What's in it for them?

Qin Zulai looked around, and suddenly, he felt that he raised his hand,

Pointing to the top of the hill in the opposite direction of the wagon transporting military salaries, he asked, "General Cheng, let me ask you, what kind of place is there?"

Cheng Yanjin glanced at it and said, "There, it's an old gym, which was personally sealed by His Majesty 4 years ago." ”

"His Majesty personally sealed it...... Gym??"

Qin Zulai muttered, then squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Gym, a very strange word.

At least that's the case with Datang.

In the Tang Dynasty and Li Er's period, Taoism was the state religion, and in the later Wu Zetian period, Buddhism really flourished.

Therefore, during this period, Taoism should be in the limelight for a while, and there is no one who can compete with it.

And Li Er also believes in Taoism.

In the imperial court, there are Taoist people holding important positions.

For example, the famous [Tui Bei Tu] in history, its authors Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were very important Taoist representatives in the Li II period, and their status was not low.

Therefore, Li Er admired Taoism so much, how could he personally order the banning of an ordinary Taoist hall? ?

Moreover, this Dao Pavilion was still in the opposite place of those rut marks, as if it was deliberately keeping people away from it, which made Qin Zulai suddenly welcome.

Li Er, who believes in Taoism the most, actually abolished this gym.

Things are full of weirdness.

And in the process of solving the case, anything that is unreasonable or seems strange is worth a careful investigation.

Everyone walked quickly to this dilapidated hall, Qin Zulai raised his head, and three words were vaguely visible on the mottled plaque.

【Tai Chi Hall】

"Tai Chi Pavilion, Tai Chi Mountain, interesting. ”

Qin Zulai laughed, and walked into this dilapidated hall with everyone.

As soon as you come in,

I saw that the area of this gym is not small, although it is not as good as the top gyms in the limelight in Datang, but it is also several times larger than those unknown small gyms.

Walking in the overgrown gymnasium, looking at the dilapidated buildings, you can vaguely see the heyday of the year.

It definitely costs a lot of money to build such a large gym, and without strong financial resources, it can't be built at all.

And built on Taiji Mountain, so close to the top of Chang'an, incense naturally does not need to be said, it will certainly not be less!!

So how could such a gym with an excellent location, excellent incense, and a low cost be sealed by Li Er? ?

Qin Zulai thought for a moment, and then asked, "General Cheng, do you know why this Daoist Hall was closed four years ago? What did its contemporaries do?

The voice fell.

Han Min and Lu Shisan also turned their heads to look at Cheng Yanjin, and they were also very curious at this moment.

Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, and then said: "Don't hide it from Lord Qin, this matter is actually a secret news from the DPRK and China, and the people who knew the truth of this matter back then were extremely limited. ”

"It shouldn't have been revealed, but since Lord Qin asked, then I can't continue to be hypocritical, so I said it here, and I hope you don't spread it. ”

The voice fell.

Qin Zulai and others should promise that they will never spread it!

Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath, and then talked about the things of the year.

He said: "Actually, this gym didn't do anything back then, and they were also affected. ”

"Four years ago, that is, in the second year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, there was a great drought in the world, and His Majesty was worried about the livelihood of the people, so he was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to the Taiji Pavilion to worship. ”

"When you try to pray to the heavens, you can see the suffering of the people, and send down nectar to save the world. ”

Qin Zulai nodded slightly, in the early days of Zhenguan, there were indeed many natural disasters.

Moreover, the ancients have always been feudal, and it is normal to do such things.

"General Cheng. What happened later?" Qin Zulai then asked.

Cheng Yanjin continued: "Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received an order from His Majesty, so he naturally went to some Tai Chi halls, but ......"

Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was praying to the heavens, a stone tablet suddenly broke through the ground in the dry river of the mountain behind the dojo. ”

"The stele?, and it broke through the ground??"

Qin Zulai was stunned for a while, this is a bit mysterious, huh? ?

Is it possible, can it really get rain?

Qin Zulai thought for a moment and asked, "General Cheng, how did you break the ground and come out of the law?"

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and replied: "I don't know what the specific situation is. ”

"Anyway, a corner came out, and then it was discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince's East Palace, and His Royal Highness ordered someone to dig it out. ”

"As a result, the content on the stone tablet made everyone see it!!"

"What's the content??"

Han Min swallowed angrily and asked.

Cheng Yanjin's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "This is a prophecy stone tablet, and there is a line of words on the stone tablet. ”

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is unkind, the heavens are furious, and the Li Tang II dynasty will !! die."

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Qin Zulai and the others' faces changed.

This......

What exactly does this inscription mean?

Doesn't it mean that Li Er is unkind, so the sky is furious, and natural disasters continue? ?

Then it was prophesied, saying that Li Tang II would die!!

This......

This is simply a knife, and it directly poked into Li Er's heart.

And it's the kind that stabs you to death.

Qin Zulai's face changed slightly, and he said, "So...... So Your Majesty was furious and angry with this gym, so he closed this gym??"

Cheng Yanjin nodded, "Your Majesty said that there must be a thief who deliberately messed with my Datang, but I couldn't find out who did it for a while." ”

But the stele appeared in the back mountain of this hall, so it was absolutely inseparable from this hall, so in a fit of rage, all the Taoist priests in the hall were arrested, and the hall was closed at that time. ”

Since then, no one has dared to come here, let alone anyone to mention it again, and because of the content of the inscription, His Majesty has forbidden it to be passed on, so very few people know about it. ”

The voice fell.

Qin Zulai, Han Min and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw a little surprise in each other's eyes.

No wonder Li Er admires Taoism so much, why would he personally close a Taoist hall.

It turns out that there is such a secret.

Does this matter have anything to do with the case of the loss of military salaries?

Qin Zulai thought slightly, and then his eyes flashed, "That...... What's that?"

Suddenly, Qin Zulai didn't know what he saw, and his eyes froze.

He walked quickly to the main hall of the hall, squatted down, and glanced at the upside-down grass that had been trampled on, and there was some dark yellow mud and sand on it.

His eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he looked at Cheng Yanjin next to him,

said: "General Cheng, since Your Majesty banned this place, no one has come here again, right?"

Cheng Yanjin nodded and replied: "Naturally, that's nature." ”

"Your Majesty's order, who would dare not listen? And now there are other better Taoist halls, and the people will go to those places to pray for blessings, who will come here?"

Hearing this,

Qin Zulai's eyes narrowed, and the next moment,

He walked directly into the main hall.

I saw that there were three dilapidated idols here.

Taoist Sanqing, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and Taiqing Daode Tianzun sat there.

It's just that no one has taken care of them for a long time, and these statues are very dilapidated, and they are covered with dust.

"Don't you think there's anything weird about these statues?"

Qin Zu glanced at the three statues and asked.

In a split second

Han Min stared at it for a long time with wide eyes and said, "Qin County Order, I really haven't seen this yet. ”

"Anyway, what's wrong with them?? I really can't see it!!"

The voice fell.

Cheng Biting Jin and Lu Shisan also shook their heads.
