Chapter 44: Wen Weng
Qi Xuansu patiently waited for the results of the autopsy.
The old man's movements were very fast, and it only took an hour to end the autopsy.
The old man came to Qi Xuansu, took off his gloves, and said: "The time of death is about last night, there is no external injury, it is not poisoning, the soul is dissipated normally, the three corpses escaped, but there is a lack of incense willingness, there is no sign of turning into a ghost, by now, three hours have passed, and the spiritualism is useless." ”
Qi Xuansu asked, "How do people die?" ”
"Go crazy." Lao Qizuo is also a congenital person, and his cultivation is quite good.
Qi Xuansu frowned.
"Going mad and going crazy" is usually used to describe what went wrong in practice, such as Qi Xuansu's cultivation of the "magic knife", being mad and unleashing, and finally being difficult to help himself, that is, going mad and going mad.
Can Gao Ming be hidden in the prison, precarious, and still in the mood to practice? Could it be that he can't escape from prison?
Qi Xuansu asked again: "What kind of madness is it?" Is there something wrong with the sanity? Or is it really angry that has gone a fork in the road? ”
The old man said slowly: "Master Qi should know that if there is a problem with his sanity, it will only endanger the lives of others, and generally not his own life. The entire lower dantian of the prisoner was completely destroyed, and the middle dantian was also affected, and the broken meridians were unknown, which was exactly the manifestation of the true qi going astray and going mad. According to the inference of the old decay, it seems that the true qi of the whole body does not flow in the meridians, but all converges in the lower dantian, which eventually causes the lower dantian to burst. ”
Qi Xuansu himself is a loose person, so he naturally understands the meaning of the old man.
The true qi in the human body is not fixed, but constantly circulating, and it is true that the lower dantian is the place where the true qi gathers, but if all the true qi in the whole body is compressed into the lower dantian, it will not work. This is like a river and a lake, the meridians are rivers, the dantian is a lake, and the lake can store water, but if all the water of the river flows into the lake and only goes in and out, then it will be flooded with water.
This is indeed in line with the symptoms of madness.
But Qi Xuansu didn't believe that things were so simple.
It's like the previous dynasty fell into the water and died, whether he fell into the water or was pushed down, there is a world of difference.
How could Gao Mingyin, a scheming person, take the risk of cultivating any exercises at such a time. In ordinary exercises, there is no possibility of going mad at all.
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it possible to forge the state of going mad and dying through external forces?" ”
Practicing the exercises is like riding a horse, not playing with flowers, and riding a horse slowly and honestly, and there will generally be no problems. However, it can also artificially startle the horse, and eventually cause the result of falling from the horse.
"It's hard." The old man groaned, "It's not difficult to break the lower dantian with external forces, but it must be from the outside in, and the inner true qi supports the dantian, but it is from the inside out." Even if the dantian no longer exists, there are still many residual broken meridians, which are like thin tubes, with two inner and outer parts. If these meridians are destroyed by external forces, the outer wall must be more seriously damaged, while the inner wall of the meridians is relatively well preserved. Conversely, the inner wall is more severely damaged, while the outer wall is relatively intact. The old decay only checked a few major meridians, these meridians are thicker, clearer, and easy to observe, all of which are seriously damaged by the inner walls of the meridians, and they are obviously blown up from the inside, so the old decay came to this conclusion that he went crazy. ”
Qi Xuansu whispered to himself: "Gao Ming." ”
I don't know if he is praising the old man, or praising the person who will hide his wisdom.
The old man didn't speak, quietly waiting for Qi Xuansu's other orders.
Qi Xuansu came back to his senses: "I still have to bother the master to put the results on paper and form words." ”
The old man nodded in response.
In the past, when the former dynasty was in charge, the Confucian people liked to call themselves "students", and called the high-status important ministers "old man", and because the eunuchs were in power, they called the eunuchs "old masters".
In this dynasty, although there were still eunuchs, they had been abolished nominally, but the title of "old master" was handed down to refer to some craftsmen and craftsmen with unique skills. As the so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, and the leader of this line can be called this title.
Qi Xuansu motioned to Ke Qingqing to present a big ticket: "Bother the master to go on a trip, this case is not a matter of the master's responsibility, so a little hard work is not a tribute, and I hope the master will not shirk." ”
The old man hesitated for a moment and took the big ticket: "Old man thanked Master Qi." ”
Qi Xuansu said again: "If the master encounters any difficulties in the future, he can also come to the Dijing Provincial Mansion to find me." ”
The old man's eyes lit up, for him, a hundred peace money is really nothing, but the promise of a real power is different.
The old man thanked him again, and his attitude was much more sincere.
Qi Xuansu motioned to Ke Qingqing to lead the old man to write the autopsy results in the duty room where the spiritual guard was located, and then asked the Fang Shi sent by Shi Bingyun to start preparing for the earthly qi backtrack.
The result of the earth's qi backtracking was not unexpected by Qi Xuansu, that is, Gao Mingyin had been lying sideways against the wall on the stone bed, until the spirit officer in charge of guarding outside noticed that something was wrong and came in to check Gao Mingyin's situation, only to find that he was dead.
Qi Xuansu asked Ke Qingqing to summarize the results of the earth's qi backtracking and the results of the autopsy, and then copied a copy and handed it to Shi Bingyun.
……
"Wen Weng, good hand." A middle-aged man dressed in a stone blue regular suit said.
Sitting opposite him was a white-haired old man with a graceful bearing, which was the long history of the Liao Palace.
Emperor Taizu of the previous dynasty set up the Wang Xiangfu, and later changed to join the army for the long history, abolished the Wang Xiangfu and promoted the Changshi Division to the five products, put the left and right long history each one, one person in the book, and set the Wangfu breeding house, warehouse and other official furniture for miscellaneous duties.
In this dynasty, the old system was inherited, but because the vassal king became a prince, it was changed to only one person in charge of the palace's decrees, auxiliary regulations, and the affairs of the palace. All requests for names, invitations, marriages, favors and thanks, and dedication to the table are all played by the chief of the royal palace, and if the prince is at fault, he will ask the long history, which has the nature of both a government official and a state official.
Therefore, although this Wen Changshi is only a five-grade official, he is a figure that should not be underestimated, even the directors of the Tianchen Division are also called "Wen Weng", the so-called prime minister's doorman seven-grade official, how many rank officials should the confidant of the King of Liao? If you talk about the weight, except for the King of Liao, the princess, and the prince who can stabilize one head, the rest of the side concubines and concubines also depend on the face of this long history.
Wen Weng took a sip of his wine and pushed open a window to see the hall on the first floor.
This is the head of the Taiping Inn Dijing, and Gao Mingyin was arrested in the banquet hall not far away.
Wen Weng gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and said leisurely: "In the public gate, it is important to have a background or not. Many people look like a master in front of outsiders, in fact, they are also weak-minded, others have an accident, someone has a problem, they have nothing, but a bunch of people are staring at their position, once they are caught, it is the end of disrepute. ”
"Normally, when it's fine, everyone is with the light, so naturally you can't see anything. But once something happens and encounters a bigger ditch, whose roots are not deep, it can be immediately revealed. This principle is the same in the Daomen. ”
"Last year, there were nearly 30 people who hanged, took poison, and died. Large and small, up to the left senator of a state, down to the county of a county, all kinds of things, yesterday it was fine, but today suddenly there are no people. To put it bluntly, from the beginning of his troubled waters, the ending was already doomed, and there was a cover on it, and they were this cover. ”
The man in the stone blue uniform was one of the directors of the Tianchen Division, surnamed Cui.
Although Director Cui is a celestial, he is also an official of the imperial court, and listening to Wen Weng casually talk about these experiences, he is deeply aware of it and a little uncomfortable at the same time.
Isn't that the case of Lao Du, whose whereabouts are still unknown?
Every creature feels for its kind.
Who's better? It's just that some of them have already fallen overboard, and they are still standing on the boat for the time being, and no one is completely sure whether they will succeed in getting ashore.
Wen Weng's words changed: "Look at this Qi Master again, he is not afraid of things at all." ”
"Rectifying the atmosphere of the imperial capital, it sounds like an understatement, but it can involve snakes of all sizes, but if the background is not hard enough, it will be blinked. Which of those courtyards has no background? Which is not a cash cow? Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and it is not uncommon for people to be hacked. ”
"So different people have different approaches, and those who have no background are perfunctory, go through the motions, and have an explanation for the above. Those who have a background will make a big fuss, want to establish authority, and ask new officials to take office. ”
"It is said that people's hearts are like water, but this is not the case. The water flows downward, and people's hearts always want to be high when they are high. People's eyes are looking up, outsiders look at the fire cooking oil, flowers, only insiders know the undercurrent, wind and waves. The more you go up, the shallower the foundation, the more you understand the danger here, and between the wind and waves, what you want is nothing more than to protect yourself. Speak nicely, be cautious, speak badly, tremble. ”
"But those who are bold have the ability to follow, the key is whether the foundation is deep or not, and whether there is anyone to cover it."
Director Cui tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Needless to say, the four celestials are still missing, this root is so thick that it is about to catch up with the Li family, he is really not from the Qi family in Shuzhou?" ”
Wen Weng shook his head and said: "No, but it is even more tricky than the Qi family, after all, the foundation of the Qi family is in Shuzhou, and the whip is beyond the reach." Behind this Master Qi are the Yao family, the Pei family, and the Zhang family. ”
Every time Wen Weng said a surname, Director Cui's face became ugly, and after listening to the three surnames, Director Cui's face had collapsed.
Wen Weng said softly: "I thought he would stop after catching Gao Mingyin, but now it seems that it is not so simple, the Yao family and the Pei family represent Taiping Dao, and the Zhang family represents Zheng, such a character is not a drunkard." ”
Director Cui was shocked: "He came down for His Royal Highness King Liao." ”
Wen Weng nodded and said, "This Qi Master is a knife in someone else's hand, so I can only use my relationship to extinguish Gao Ming's mouth." Just acting in a hurry will inevitably leave a lot of tricks, but I'm afraid it will be ......"
Director Cui said in a deep voice: "I have to think of a way to let him stop a little, and I can't let him spoil a big deal." ”
Wen Weng said: "I came to you today for this purpose. ”
