Chapter 4 Reform the Master's Letter

The person standing in the courtyard was Tang Rou, who was holding his waist with his hands on his waist at the moment, tilting his head and looking at Zhang Fatzi who rolled in like a meat ball with a strange and interesting look.

Wrestling so humiliating in front of a girl, Zhang Fat Man felt that his face turned red and burned.

He turned his head and glared angrily at the door, trying to figure out who kicked him in the back just now, and saw Ye Feng walking in with a smile: "Dead fatty, why don't you enter the door and stand at the door to peep?"

Zhang Fatzi had a nameless fire in his heart, thinking that it wasn't all because of your!

But in front of Tang Rou, it was hard to say it, so she could only snort and say angrily: "You are peeping! You not only peep, but also attack your fat man's ......."

In front of the girls, the word "ass" was not elegant after all, and Zhang Fatzi finally swallowed it back.

Tang Rou saw Ye Feng walk in, suddenly showed a strange smile, turned her head and shouted into the house: "Really girl, come out quickly, someone has come to see you!"

Ye Feng first saw Tang Rou and smiled, and then heard her call Cheng Nianzhen, and his cheeks turned red suddenly.

Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang, who had just entered the door, saw this scene, but they were stunned for a while, it seemed that the two women under the same roof not only did not fight, but got along well and became sisters.

The two of them glanced at each other, remembered all the conjectures standing at the gate of the small courtyard just now, and shook their heads secretly, this woman's mind is really more unpredictable than this weather!

At this time, the door of the room opened, Cheng Nianzhen ran out with a happy face, raised his eyes and saw Ye Feng with a red face, and saw Tang Rou who was smiling at her with bad intentions, her face was also red, and she stood at the door with her head down and did not speak.

The five people in the courtyard had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, only the black ghost Helian Tie who was following Ye Feng was a straight intestine, and he didn't see the twists and turns in the middle, and looked at the others inexplicably.

Ye Feng suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming here at this time, so he cleared his throat and said, "I came to you today, I have something important to discuss with you, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”

With that, he led the way and strode into the house.

Everyone saw that he looked serious, and knew that this matter must be important, so they also packed up their moods and followed him.

After everyone sat down in the house, Ye Feng first spent some time to tell everyone about the previous night talk with Master Likai in Shaolin Temple, about the relationship between the Elder Scroll and the Qishu Tui and the back map in the secret cave of Huashan. (For details, please refer to Chapters 6 to 9 of Volume II.)

There was only one point, about the fact that the scroll had the same dragon pattern on his body, which he concealed from everyone and did not talk about it.

After all, this matter is too mysterious, and the dragon pattern on his body has only appeared twice, and only Cheng Nianzhen has seen it when he was treating him with an acupuncture, which is really difficult to explain, so it is better not to mention it at all.

When he finished speaking, everyone in the room still looked at each other, silent.

The dignified Shaolin Temple has been dedicated to deciphering the ancient scrolls in this Huashan Cave for more than 100 years since the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

The content of the Elder Scrolls is inextricably linked to the strange book "Tui-Back Map" in the Tang Dynasty?

Could it be that behind all this, there is a big secret hidden?

These contents are so bizarre that it is a little difficult for everyone to digest for a while. Some of them had never even heard of the name of the push-back picture, and they couldn't understand what kind of strange book it was.

But Zhang Idiot knows.

After all, he was well-read, and naturally knew many strange legends about this strange book, and he lowered his head and said: "Tui-Beitu is a book that records some hexagrams, and the reason why it is called the first strange book is because the hexagrams and proverbs in it are prophecies of the future world, and it is said that these prophecies are all fulfilled one by one, and there is no inaccuracy. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it for what it really is. ”

Tang Rou and Cheng Nianzhen didn't know about this book before, but after listening to Zhang Fatzi's words, they looked at each other and looked surprised.

Xie Zhenliang on the side shook his head secretly.

He has learned the art of yin and yang math since he was a child, and of course he has heard of this Taoist book.

All the hexagrams and proverbs in this book are deduced from the I Ching gossip, and the hexagrams and proverbs themselves are obscure, and when it comes to fulfillment, it is actually all about how to interpret them.

But it is indeed a bit unbelievable to say that this book written by Tang Shi can decipher the contents of the Elder Scrolls.

Ye Feng saw that they all had a look of surprise on their faces, knowing that they were all suspicious, and he hadn't even understood the mysterious things that Master Cheng had told him, so he didn't have to bother to make these people believe in them.

So he began to talk about how Master Kong was injured by a man suspected of being a fisherman in the East China Sea on the way to deliver a letter to him.

"Donghai Fisher, he is also one of the Ten Hall Yamas?" Zhang Fatzi was stunned, it is rumored that this person's martial arts are extremely high, not a generation of grandmasters, but also a hero, if he also joins the Ten Hall Yamas under the command of Prince Xuanyuan, it will be too terrifying.

Xie Zhenliang was silent for a moment, but asked, "Even the Ten Halls of Yama have personally taken action, what kind of letter did this Likong Master send you?"

Ye Feng glanced at him, secretly admiring his calmness in his heart, and being able to see the crux of the problem at a glance, he said in a deep voice: "What he sent me was a letter written to me by the master of Shaolin Temple. ”

Xie Zhenliang frowned: "Isn't the content of this letter related to the Elder Scroll?"

Ye Feng nodded, took a long breath, and said, "Master Likai said in the letter, according to his latest research findings, there should be more than this such scroll!"

All the people in the room were shocked, but no one spoke, quietly waiting for Ye Feng to continue.

Ye Feng paused and then said, "According to what Master Chang said, there should be three copies of such a scroll, which are hidden in different places. The secret cave of Huashan should be called the Cave of Yang, which hides this scroll of Yang. There are also two other places where the remaining Yin scroll and the Arashi scroll should be hidden. ”

Fat Zhang asked suspiciously, "You mean, there are two other copies of the Elder Scrolls that are exactly the same?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "It's not exactly the same, these three scrolls have different contents, and only by combining the three scrolls can we unlock the big secret hidden behind this." ”

Fat Zhang's face changed, and his head shook like a rattle and shouted: "Just kidding, such a thing that has been buried for thousands of years must be in an extremely secret place, the world is so big, where can I find the remaining two copies? Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's not like looking for a needle in a haystack, Master Likai said in his heart that he has found the relevant clues and knows the approximate burial location of the Wasteland Scroll." ”

Zhang Fatzi's eyes widened in surprise: "This old monk is so capable, so where is the scroll of the desolate buried there?"

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Loulan Ancient Kingdom. ”

Zhang Fat Man was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened in surprise, and he couldn't say a word.

Xie Zhenliang on the side poked him and asked, "Aren't you erudite and knowledgeable, and you know the ancient and modern?

It took a while for Zhang Fatzi to come to his senses, and he said: "This ancient country of Loulan was first recorded in the historical records, an ancient state that existed in the Western Regions hundreds of years before the Han Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous and powerful country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions on the ancient Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty. (The term Silk Road actually originated from the name of German scholars at the end of the 19th century, and there was no such term during the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Zhenliang frowned: "Western Regions, is there still this country now? I heard that there is not a desert there?"

Zhang Fatzi shook his head and said: "The large-scale desertification of the Western Regions was a matter of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the late Tang Dynasty, and it became a desert from the north of Dunhuang after that, but it was still a good place with fertile soil and beautiful water in the Western Han Dynasty. ”

He immediately frowned: "But the ancient kingdom of Loulan has perished since the period of Emperor Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty in the official history." ”

Xie Zhenliang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you perish?"

Zhang Fatzi sighed, as if he felt helpless about other people's ignorance of history: "It was recorded in the Book of Han that during the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, King Angui of Loulan was sandwiched between the Western Han government and the Xiongnu. ”

"At that time, there was an envoy of the Western Han Dynasty named Fu Jiezi, who was ordered by the general Huo Guang to go to Loulan, and at the banquet, he took advantage of the defenselessness of King Angui and assassinated him. Then Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty returned to the king, stayed in the capital of the Western Han Dynasty as a hostage, and his younger brother was the king of Loulan, and went back to govern the country. ”

But since then, the water of Lop Nur Lake, on which the Loulan Kingdom depends, has gradually dried up, and the land has gradually become a desert, so the remaining people have migrated elsewhere and changed their name to Shanshanguo. The ancient kingdom of Loulan also died out. ”

After listening to his story, everyone admired Zhang Fatzi's knowledge, but Ye Feng asked, "Then why did you say that you perished in the official history just now?"

Zhang Fatzi sighed and said, "Because it is recorded like this in the official history, but there are many doubts. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, and asked, "What's the doubt?"

Zhang Fatzi said: "The first is the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. It is said that after the people collectively migrated and changed its name to Shanshanguo, it also perished in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the descendants are nowhere to be found. However, it is recorded in the Tang Dynasty Master Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that after he entered the territory of ancient Loulan from Dunhuang, he once met a group of people who claimed to be Loulan nationals. At this time, even Shanshan Kingdom has perished, where are the people of Loulan from?"

In addition, in many poems of the Tang Dynasty, Loulan has appeared. Like Li Bai, he is willing to put his sword down his waist and cut Loulan directly. Wang Changling's, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. There are many such verses, which show that by the time of the Tang Dynasty, Loulan was still an important town in the Western Regions, and there were still people. ”

These poems are familiar to everyone, Zhang Fatzi looked at everyone and nodded, he didn't feel very proud, and on a whim, he continued with spittle: "There is a bigger suspicion, it is in this famous minister Fu Jiezi who assassinated King Angui!"
