Chapter 168: Four Hundred Years of Mountain Closure
A huge convoy slowly southward, the battle is huge, far better than the newly named Dingding general of the military department squire Lu Shengxiang, more than 200 people, wearing a show of gold swords in the inner Jinwu cavalry guard has 80 people, the remaining 100 or so knights are wearing black shirts, weapons are different, but without exception, there is a piercing copper yellow embroidered fish bag hanging around the waist, the number of carp tails embroidered on the copper bag is also more or less, more than seven, less there are four or five tails. This means that they are the warriors of the rivers and lakes who have awarded meritorious services to the Liyang Imperial Court, and they are no longer reckless, but have the status of an official government, and with this bag, they can enter the pass city without a household. The Liyang martial artists who originated in the rivers and lakes are all proud to have a copper yellow embroidered carp bag in their hands, and the bag of the Liu Artemisia Master is woven with eight golden carps, but the master of the celestial realm never wears it. In this trip, hang the seven carp bags that symbolize the first-grade masters, there are three people, the second-grade small grandmaster six carp as many as fourteen people, all the top sects including Longhu Mountain, Wujia Sword Shrine and Dongyue Sword Pond, have sent henchmen to accompany them, and more are those carp in the rivers and lakes who have been attached to Longmen early, and they have worked hard for the criminal department over the years, they have helped the court to spy on the news and chase down the bandits, and the court gave them a talisman to walk the rivers and lakes, and each took what he needed.
Two hundred horsemen, only escorted a carriage, this royal style of luxury carriage with four sweat and blood BMW to pull the carriage, the carriage is surrounded by more than 20 eunuchs, copper yellow fish bags embroidered with six or seven tails of first-class masters are mixed in, each performing its own duties, in an orderly manner. All the way to the south, through the city without stopping, only camped in the wilderness, but along the way through the military town, must be dispatched 1,000 to 3,000 light cavalry to escort hundreds of miles, the distance between the two is always strictly maintained at one mile, during which there are military brigades who violate the ban, slightly closer to half a mile of the road, probably to offer courtesy, but the result is self-defeating, the leading captain was stripped of his armor on the same day. Half a decade, even if the elite cavalry of Jinwu and those copper yellow fish bag masters, no one has seen the car curtain completely pulled up once, and there is a special eunuch responsible for food delivery, every time he kneels in front of the car curtain, whispering, and then there is a hand to lift the corner of the curtain, take the food box, next time, the new box is replaced by the old box, and so on. At first, some people speculated that it was the willow artemisia master who was said to be only separated from the land immortals by a layer of window screen, but later it was found that there were eunuchs who needed to carry and clean the toilet, so they were a little unsure of the truth, most of them were temporarily told by Zhao Gou that they needed to go to Beijing, what to do, it was not clear, and after meeting with Zhao Gou's spy, they had to leave immediately, and even the elders of the sect and their parents, wives and children could not be informed, and then they took such a trip to talk about how fortunate they were。 Could it be that he went to Emperor Wu City to find trouble with Wang Xianzhi? Otherwise, who and what objects in the world are worth driving these first-class masters who are worthy of the power of half of the rivers and lakes?
The facts on the carriage were very unexpected, just two people, an old eunuch who was dying, dozing against the wall of the carriage, wearing a bright red python suit to show that his identity was indeed good. His real name has long been lost in the years, is a remnant of Dongyue, when he entered the Dongyue Palace, like most eunuchs, worshiped a senior eunuch as the "adoptive father", and was rewarded by the master of the biological father's higher status to give a name, this is the real entry into the door, you must know that in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, the heart is ruthless to cut off the roots of the children and grandchildren, and there are countless poor people who have never thought about but can't be eunuchs. This is now worthy of the Mink Temple said that the old eunuch, called Zhao Siku, was already in his forties when he arrived in Tai'an City, his second master, in the Tai'an City Palace Imperial Horse Supervisor errand, did not make much of a eunuch, but the most inconspicuous among the apprentices Zhao Siku, slowly climbing, once successively palm printed Shang Bao Jian and Yin Shou Prison, served the two emperors of Liyang, not leaking, so many years, it was a small mistake has not been made, even Han Shengxuan did not hesitate to smile at this colleague, Zhao Siku is indeed one of the few eunuchs who do not need to see people and cats to retreat from the Mink Temple, the rest of the twenty-four Yamen leader, in the past to see Han Shengxuan, the same has to be cautious。 Zhao Siku and now the master of Song Tanglu is the best friend, the object of the two old eunuchs, and happened to die on the same day, the same month and the same year, after Song Tanglu became the first eunuch, he did not miss the old feelings to everyone, even the master was no exception, but for Zhao Siku, he always carried out the junior ceremony, and the two "standing emperors" in succession from Liyang were impressed by one person, which shows the depth of Zhao Mink Temple's skills.
The old eunuch with a weak body sat cross-legged, unable to hide his fatigue and napping, his movements were big, he woke himself up, his face was sleepy, he didn't know what he dreamed of in his sleep, the old man sighed softly.
Liyang single-handedly took over the Spring and Autumn Period, territory, gold and silver, arsenal, and even concubines, these are either reasonable, or slightly flawed, are not how to be criticized, but one of the measures of the first emperor of Liyang, there are criticisms both inside and outside, that is, almost all the eunuchs who died in the Spring and Autumn Period, which led to the Tai'an City Palace reaching a crowded and bloated point, there are 12 prisons, 4 divisions, 8 bureaus, and 24 yamenBut Emperor Liyang turned a deaf ear, and the old shoufu, that is, Zhang Julu's mentor, went up and down one after another, and all the mud cows entered the sea. As the war gradually stopped, those eunuchs kept to themselves, and they were extremely loyal to the new master, and they worked hard for 20 years, only heard that one by one the old eunuchs died in the palace, and never heard of anyone who caused trouble in the inner palace, although it was indispensable to the contribution of Han Shengxuan, but obviously more of these eunuchs were grateful to the extrajudicial grace of the first emperor, so that they would not be displaced after the death of the country, and others lost their home and country, and they could still live by virtue of their skills, how easy is it for them eunuchs?
Out of the corner of his eye, Lao Mink Temple glanced at the corner of the carriage, and lowered his eyelids, which was really not strange. In the corner sat a middle-aged man sleeping peacefully, with a handsome appearance, and a scarlet scarlet on his eyebrows, as if there was another eye in the sky. Lao Mink Temple was in charge of the seal and ribbon prison eight years ago, responsible for the inner court's edict and pasting yellow letter charms, etc., and was transferred to Shang Baojian in charge of the big and small jade seals in just two years, and after the cat's "violent death", the old eunuch who was already preparing to enjoy his old age was neither promoted to the priest of ceremonies, nor was he idle, but was led to see a "thing" by two Qi Practitioner Grandmasters who were independent of the Guozijian , Zhao Siku went from unbelievable to calm down and finally numb, but in half a year, because no matter how rare the thing, it couldn't stand staring at it all day long, and from that day on, Zhao Siku came into contact with the secrets that ordinary people could not know for several lifetimes, such as hundreds of Fulong Qi practitioners distributed everywhere, picking up heavenly thunder in the blessed land of the cave, and used to cast an unprecedented "thunder pool" , There is also the dragon and tiger mountain in the past dynasties of the heavenly masters in the self-recognition of the Taoist Dacheng, all have to come to Tai'an City for a certain object to engrave a talisman, this talisman, often a few months or even half a year, exhausted spirit, so far, since the founding of Liyang, there have been eleven generations of a total of eighteen great masters on behalf of the painting talisman on behalf of everyone to do the talisman, just to suppress the carriage of this "person", "forget the worries of the person" , the only one who walks through the rivers and lakes in the true sense of heaven and man, the so-called one product and four realms of contemporary rivers and lakes, from the root, is born from this "person" four hundred years ago The martial arts experience, it is also this person who put the King Kong realm into the category of masters, intentionally or unintentionally put the foreign Buddhism that was originally suppressed by Confucianism and Taoism to the point of not being able to raise its head at all, but the catastrophe four hundred years ago, Gao Shulu traveled all over the north and south of the river in ten years, and killed people all over the rivers and lakes, no one dared to call himself a master, and the masters who died in Gao Shulu's hands alone were two sword immortals, and the world's Daomen made up eighty-one real people, and did not hesitate to join forces to form a demon suppression array, but it was still slaughtered by Gao Shu on the top of the lungs of the mountain, leaving a sentence"I am an immortal in the world, what kind of demon is the town", go away. Gao Shulu met with an unknown young Taoist in a narrow way, the momentum of that battle was huge, and there was no one who came so far, and there are still people who firmly believe that only the demon slaying platform Qi Xuanjiao or Wudang Hong Xixiang went out of the mountain to fight with Wang Xianzhi, which can be compared. Zhao Siku, the old mink temple, faced such a guy who should not be said to be a living person or a dead person, the current "Gao Shulu" does not drink, eat, exhale or inhale, like a stinging insect hibernating for four hundred years, the body does not shrink at all, and it is still as smooth as jade, except for the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain
Eighteen talismans, before this there are still the eighteen prohibitions of the former Taoist famous mountain Dazhenren, of which the first nine are from the original Taoist ancestral court Wudang Mountain, the first one is called the "mountain opening talisman" by the descendants of the mountains and Taoist priests, it is from the nameless and surnameless but will be like the sun in the sky high tree dew into the sleep of the young Taoist handwriting, just one talisman, it supports the later generations of more than a dozen Taoist famous mountains and the "ladder to the sky" of the Qi practitioner sect.
Zhao Si bitterly pulled the expensive thick velvet mink hat, the old man is not a master, he has never practiced martial arts, and ten thousand Zhao Siku is not an opponent of Han Shengxuan, he is old, so he is especially intolerant of spring cold. Zhao Siku also thought about why the Zhao family was willing to let him be the person in charge, was it because he was not proficient in martial arts? Was it because he had been walking on thin ice for 20 years? Or did Han Shengxuan have a "last word" to the king when he left the palace? Zhao Si pulled the corners of his mouth, looked at the heavenly man in the world who was like a clay statue Bodhisattva opposite, and stopped talking, so many years of caution, finally let the old man not talk to himself, Zhao Siku, think hard? The old mink temple smiled, what are you most afraid of for so many years, what are you most afraid of talking in your dreams, talking about people and talking about ghosts, what is so difficult about this? The difficulty lies in telling the truth.
Zhao Siku thought that he would die of old age in this life, with a stomach full of secrets and closed his eyes, but he didn't expect it to come, Bei Liang, who was loyal to the little master, quietly passed on a news, it was an inconspicuous palace maid, Zhao Siku had no doubt, the news was divided into two parts, the previous paragraph was what the little master said when he parted, God knows that Zhao Changling knows Zhao Siku, and then it is probably Yang Cai Zhao Changling entrusted to Yin Cai Li Yishan and others. Zhao Siku fell into deep thought, the Green Pavilion Zhao family he was born in was one of the top ten wealthy lords in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he didn't know that Zhao Changling, who was the eldest grandson, did not inherit the family business, but took refuge in the Xu family, it can be said that without the support of Zhao Changling's family background, Xu Xiao would never be able to stand out from the large number of generals in Liyang so quickly, Zhao Siku did not have any loyalty to the Green Pavilion Zhao family, but clearly remembered the demeanor of the little master, as well as the grace of his return and acquaintance. What Zhao Siku could do was to deliver the detailed route to the south and the details of the armament to Beiliang. After 20 years of sealing the secret in my heart, I opened a jar of old wine, drank it all, and spit it out.
Zhao Siku habitually stretched out two dry fingers, twisting his eyebrows, he really couldn't figure out what Bei Liang would take to compete for this celestial, the key has two handles, divided into two things to open the seal, the method of opening, in his Zhao Siku's hands, how to re-block Gao Shulu, then on the side of the Qi practitioner in the dark, even if Bei Liang succeeds, it is just a big hot hand and a hotter potato, no one knows what Gao Shulu will do when he wakes up after four hundred years, once the mountain opening charm is torn off, who can "close the mountain" Zhao Si looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the ground with a calm expression, and said softly: "My old eunuch was given a bitter name by the master, and in addition to being a little tired of intrigue over the years, it is not bitter or not. You Gao Shulu said that he is a person who forgets worries, the so-called forgetfulness of worries, we heard that the teachings of Buddhism are used, but there are two more kinds of self-sealing in addition to the six senses, so that they can be at ease. This kind of freedom, our family is a vulgar person rolling in the mud jar, I can't imagine it, but our family thinks, so many Taoist real people have closed the mountain for 400 years, how can we talk about forgetting the word "forget worries......?"
The old mink temple is broken.
A sharp chirp rang out.
Instead of being frightened, Zhao Siku was somewhat relieved. The old man was curious about what Beiliang was calling for a battle, although this side was already on the edge of the southern border of Gyeonggi, but to say that Beiliang had an ambush of thousands of soldiers and horses here, even if it was a temporary rebellion, it would be too terrible, and this was tantamount to an indirect rebellion.
The truth must have caught the old eunuch, Liyang, and even Beiliang off guard.
At the end of the post road as far as the eye can see, there are only three horsemen, and the one on the left hand is a thin young man, with the rough outline of a man in the north, staring at the mighty two hundred horsemen on the opposite side, his eyes are burning, and he smiles.
In his right hand, he carried a broken spear.
In the center is a white-clothed man with a feminine appearance, and his spirit is extraordinary.
The horse team that escorted Gao Shulu south against Cao Changqing did not stop, and continued to ride forward. The old eunuch lifted the corner of the curtain of the car, and sighed softly, it turned out to be the devil of Zhulu Mountain, Zhao Gou has a file record of the white-clothed man who has blocked the useless monk, it is Luoyang, who is both Beimang and the first demon in the world, but somehow he entered Zhulu Mountain. As for the two riders around him, Zhao Gou didn't have any news about it.
It has been 800 years since Great Qin lost his deer.
The old eunuch with his back to Gao Shulu naturally didn't notice the person who sealed the mountain behind him, and seemed to open his eyes slightly.
