Chapter 263: Gathering the strengths of a hundred schools

readx;? After Yang Jing came back from Lin Wenzhong's Assassin's Mansion, Zong Yun had not returned, but Lin Jue came to report, saying that he had dug up some slightly strange things from the mouths of the prisoners of the White Bull Sect, and Yang Jing came to the Juzhou Prison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info★.くく√.

There were about 20 captives captured this time, and these people were all masters, ruthless, and determined, which brought great resistance and difficulty to the interrogation.

Although Lin Jue and the others are all old spies, and the methods of torture to extract confessions are also endless, and these captives do not have any reservations, but the strange thing is that their confessions are surprisingly consistent, and the words for use are incredible.

"My lord, this is the case, I really can't understand the lowly position, what should I do in the future, please let me decide..."

Lin Jue was obviously at a loss for this, so he could only ask Yang Jing.

Although Yang Jing also felt bizarre, he was not too surprised, after all, he had already seen such demagogic methods.

According to the confessions of these captives, they are all apostles of the Holy Mother, and they are also celestial beings among the apostles, and they have escaped the category of ordinary people and are qualified to live in the True Mother Palace of Our Lady of the White Bull, and the True Mother Palace is the fairyland of Our Lady, mortals cannot set foot in it, and if they want to enter and exit the True Mother Palace, they must pass through the Cloud Bridge Barrier, and every time they pass through the Cloud Bridge Barrier, they can only be led by the Holy Maiden or the Dharma Protector, and they themselves do not know the path.

Although he couldn't find out the specific path to enter Xianyun Mountain, this also gave Yang Jing an indirect understanding of how rigorous the White Bull Sect was.

All religions must put forward a purpose and give people a kind of faith, and the reason why they give people faith is actually to give people a kind of hope and a way to escape from reality.

This kind of hope is heaven in Christianity and other Western sects, in Buddhism, there is the Western Heaven Elysium, in Taoism, there is the Heavenly Palace of the Three Qings and the Immortal Class, and the White Bull Sect also follows the example and creates a True Mother Palace.

This shows that the White Bull Sect is no longer an ordinary non-governmental organization, it has a strict hierarchical structure, and its cronies will become celestials, and their status in the sect is higher than that of other believers, which will stimulate those believers to continue to make contributions to the Holy Religion in order to become celestials, which also becomes the driving force for believers to do things actively.

It even has a whole set of theoretical systems, with the ultimate paradise and fairyland such as the True Mother Palace, which has become the ultimate goal that many believers look up to.

From the small details of the confessions of these captives, Yang Jing could see that these almost obsessive disciples had gone mad, they had even lost the ability to know themselves, unable to distinguish between the real and the unreal, they really regarded themselves as omnipotent celestials, and in Xianyun Mountain, there was their True Mother Palace!

As for the so-called Cloud Bridge Obstacle, it should be somewhere in Xianyun Mountain, or maybe the White Bull Sect will use drugs or other means to confuse these disciples and Dharma protectors every time they enter and exit in order to hide the location of the main rudder, so that they temporarily fall into a state of delusion, and they cannot remember the path in and out of Xianyun Mountain.

Yang Jing also had to admire the White Bull Sect's methods, even his own people were deceived so hard, which shows how meticulous the White Bull Sect is, in fact, think about it, even the pharmacist saint Sun Erniang once believed in the White Bull Sect, as if she had been brainwashed, and others could naturally imagine it.

In this way, there are actually not many people in the White Bull Sect who can maintain a sober understanding, and the vast majority of people are actually in a state of blind and fanatical worship, losing their assertiveness and self-knowledge, and even the ability to distinguish the real world, and have become the human tools of the White Bull Sect.

This is also the reason why these captives confess honestly, but the words are of little value, because what they say is the truth, but these truths are the deception of the White Bull Sect to them, nothing more.

Yang Jing also knew that it was impossible to wake up these people, thinking about how twists and turns it was to subdue Sun Erniang, he knew the difficulty of this, and even if he woke up, they couldn't think of more useful things, and Yang Jing didn't bother to waste time and energy on this.

I was thinking of getting some useful information from these captives, but now it seems that if you want to get the secret path to enter Xianyun Mountain, you will eventually need to go up the mountain to investigate.

Yang Jing made a plan in his heart, so he asked for a confession from Lin Jue, and personally interrogated a few prisoners, collected some details, and left the prison.

Before leaving, he also deliberately left Lin Jue behind and asked him to take a trip to the Thorn Mansion, saying that he asked Lin Wenzhong, the Thorn Historian, to help him find two local guides who were familiar with the terrain of Xianyun Mountain.

When Lin Jue heard that Yang Jing was going to Xianyun Mountain to explore the road in person, he was also a little worried, so he hurried to the Assassin's Mansion.

Yang Jing returned to Zhizhou Yamen, found Wei Qian again, and asked him about the situation in Xianyun Mountain, after all, Wei Qian was a new official, and he didn't know much about a place like Xianyun Mountain, and he didn't have too many constructive opinions or suggestions for a while.

His knowledge of Xianyun Mountain was limited to the struggle between the Han and the local barbarians, and it was only at this level.

Yang Jing suddenly remembered some of the situations that Wei Qian had said when he looked at the south wind, and after thinking about it, he asked him.

"Lord Wei, this official seems to have heard you say that after the rebellious natives of Xianyun Mountain were exterminated, the Han officials completely eradicated the wild temple on the top of the mountain, and in order to suppress the gods and ghosts, they also built a Taoist temple on the ruins?"

This matter is what Wei Qian said and Yang Jing knew, he was naturally clear, and immediately replied to Yang Jing.

"Indeed, in order to build that Taoist temple, it is also considered to be a labor force, it is said that just the construction of the Sanqing Treasure Palace, the Xianyun Mountain was hollowed out by half, but the Xianyun Mountain is full of miasma, poisonous snakes and beasts are everywhere, and it is haunted and haunted, and there are not too many people who dare to go up the mountain... Occasionally, some hunters or woodcutters go up the mountain, and most of them die on the mountain, and over time, everyone will stay away from Xianyun Mountain..."

Yang Jing's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked Wei Qian: "The Taoist temple back then, but it was built under the supervision of the Juzhou government?"

Wei Qian is a smart person, and when he heard Yang Jing's question, he suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Your Excellency, I will gather all the old scribes!"

Yang Jing saw that Wei Qian could understand a little bit, and he was very satisfied, and after sitting in the flower room for a while, he saw Wei Qian walking in happily.

"Your Excellency's expectations are not bad, there is indeed a hidden design plan for the supervision of the year in the Juzhou Mansion!" Wei Qian reported to Yang Jing in surprise.

After he knew Yang Jing's intention to go up the mountain to explore the way, he wanted to provide some help to Yang Jing, and when he heard Yang Jing talk about building a Taoist temple, he naturally thought of this.

Although there was no shortage of huge ancient trees and stones on Xianyun Mountain, manpower and some materials still needed to be transported from outside the mountain, and the design of the construction, as Yang Jing guessed, was hidden in the mansion!

When Wei Qian asked those old scribes and the scribes to stick to the eyes and other officials to move the design drawings of the sweaty cow building, Yang Jing was also taken aback.

I didn't expect these blueprints to be so complete!

Yang Jing began to flip through these design drawings, and from these design drawings, Yang Jing could also see how majestic the Taoist temple was at the beginning, and it was hard to imagine that this was a small Taoist temple in the deep mountains and forests.

Because the design is cut into hundreds of parts, even involving the underground drainage system, as well as some living facilities on the ground.

And what made Yang Jing even more amazed was that there were hundreds of houses for Taoist people to live in, and what kind of Taoist temple was this, it was clearly a palace!

Moreover, Yang Jing is also present, and the design drawings are also mixed with some equipment design drawings such as winches, and there are even many design patterns of construction equipment that have never been seen before!

Yang Jing couldn't help but ask in his heart, if it was to suppress gods and ghosts, would it be as for building such a huge Taoist temple?

Yang Jing pinched the design of the huge winch in his hand, pointed to the seal that was already a little blurry in the lower left corner of the design, and asked an old scribe, "What is this seal described?"

Yang Jing is not ignorant of calligraphy and painting, but this seal is too complicated for Yang Jing to see.

But in this large pile of design drawings, many of them carry this seal, Yang Jing couldn't help but explore it, so he was ashamed to ask.

The old scribe looked at it for a long time, and then took the seal and consulted it with the other priests, and soon there was an uproar!

Seeing this, Yang Jing walked over and asked the old scribe, "What's up?"

The old scribe's face was still flushed with excitement and excitement, and he replied to Yang Jing: "My lord, this seal is Mengxi's handwriting, this is Shen Kuo's handwriting!"

"Shen Kuo, the ?!!! Shen Kuo who wrote Mengxi's pen talk" Yang Jing couldn't help but be taken aback, although he was not very familiar with history, but he was still familiar with ancient scientists like Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng, after all, these are characters who have appeared in textbooks since elementary school.

Shen Kuo, one of the most outstanding scientists in ancient history, proficient in astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, geography, agriculture and medicine, etc., is also an outstanding engineer and diplomat.

and also served as a high-ranking official, Wen Neng and Wang Anshi jointly pushed the official to change the law, and Wu Neng served as the pacification envoy of Jingluo to fight against Western Xia.

Once reused by Wang Anshi, he tried his best to promote the change, and once became the third envoy in charge of money and grain, and then Wang Anshi failed, Shen Kuo was implicated, and many reasons such as the Wutai poetry case, he was deposed to the locality, and later he had to be used, and went to the northwest to fight against the Western Xia, Zhiyan Prefecture, and concurrently served as the pacification envoy of the Yan Yan Road, but unfortunately in the Yuanfeng years, the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated, and Shen Kuo was relegated to Junzhou, Hubei, and bid farewell to the officialdom since then.

Shen Kuo's life can be described as a complete body of writing, and he did not move his mouth without hands, he also improved some other ancient Ming creations such as movable type printing, and also made a leaky pot for timekeeping and so on.

Yang Jing vaguely remembers that it is said that an asteroid was named after Shen Kuo, in short, this Lord Shen Kuo is a god like Leonardo da Vinci.

However, Yang Jing also asked the old scribe that Shen Kuo had been dead for at least one hundred and thirty years, and the Taoist temple on Xianyun Mountain was built decades ago, so it was obvious that this Lord Shen could not draw a design for the Taoist temple.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is that the designer of the Taoist temple has stolen some of Shen Kuo's design concepts!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing searched in the pile of old papers, and sure enough, there were some other masters who had already made ancient paintings in these design drawings!

This builder can be said to have taken great pains, and he actually gathered the heads of hundreds of schools, and all of them were used on this Taoist temple!

Yang Jing was even more puzzled, if it was just to suppress the gods and ghosts, why did he build such a huge Taoist temple, and he went to great lengths?
