459. Dongtian Cauldron (Can the bigwigs vote for recommendation)
The investigation of the case is under the control of Wang Qilin.
But the interrogation was none of his business.
The high-level members of the Dawei Pai Gang were all arrested within a day, and Xu Nan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, began to move wildly, and it is said that he went to find Prime Minister Lang Zhihuan, and also knelt outside the Weiyang Palace after the end of the court meeting to see the saint.
It's a pity that he didn't see Emperor Taijia and was forked away by a few little eunuchs......
Then rumors began to spread in the capital, saying that Xu Mao had offended the popular man Wan Gonggong of Weiyang Palace.
But Xu Mao couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, where did he offend Gonggong Wan?
Wang Qilin handed over Xu Yi, Shui Boniang and Shui Xingsun, and Xie Toad was reluctant to go to Tianting Temple as usual, so Wang Qilin could only lead the team himself.
The process of handing over the prisoner went smoothly, and he wanted to go to the Qinglong King to ask what to do next, but the Qinglong King was not there, but he ran into the copyist.
The scribe also accepted his favor, and when he saw him, he clenched his fists and smiled: "Isn't this Wang Tongwei? Wang Tongwei is here to find the Qinglong King? He hasn't come back today, if you have something, you might as well tell the old man, the old man can still say a few words in front of the Qinglong King, and help you convey it when the time comes." β
Wang Qilin shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask the adults how to carry out the next step, the assassination of Yu Darong is really missing traces......
At this point, he shook his head even harder.
The scribe said helplessly: "That old man can't help you much." β
Wang Qilin's heart moved, and said: "The old man is modest, in fact, you can really do me a favor, I want to ask you about two people." β
The scribe is old, and he has been copying strange stories in the Tianting Temple for many years, and he must know about the strange things inside and outside the capital.
The snake seller must belong to the second of the strange people, and he wants to copy the book and may have some impression of the two.
So he described the image of the two snake sellers, and asked the old man if he had any impression of them.
The scribe said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, the old man has such a pair of brothers as candidates in his heart, their brothers live in the ruler workshop outside Changlingyi, their names are called, called, well, the eldest brother is called Chang Boyuan, the younger brother is called Chang Zhongyuan, the two brothers followed their father to move from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are very good at catching snakes." β
There are many water systems and water snakes around Chang'an, so the two brothers went to catch the water snake, and then about ten days ago, the two brothers died on the side of the road inexplicably. β
"The reason why the old man remembers their two brothers is because when their two brothers died, a big snake appeared, and there were traces left by the big snake on the ground. β
Wang Qilin was stunned when he heard this, the two brothers were already dead, and they died in the revenge of the snake spirit?
But the old man couldn't be sure if the two brothers were the two people Han Er met, he knew about it because he had registered it in the books, and he didn't know exactly what the two brothers looked like.
Wang Qilin thanked him and left, walked a few steps and came back: "Old man, you have done me a lot of help this time, the kid can't repay me, but I have friends who are very good at barbecue, when I am busy for these two days, can I invite you to drink good wine and eat barbecue in the evening?"
The scribe said with some embarrassment: "Of course, having wine and meat is a happy thing in life, but Wang Tongwei, you may think that the old man copied the strange story for the Lord of the Green Dragon King, so he can have face in front of the Green Dragon King and can help you in the future, but in fact, it is not the case......
"The old gentleman misunderstood what I meant," Wang Qilin interrupted him with a smile, "I'm not an official idiot, I don't have any obsession with officialdom promotion, whether you believe it or not, boy, my biggest wish now is that there are no more demons and monsters in the world, even if it leads to the Tianjian swords and guns in the warehouse, and the horses in Nanshan." β
"The boy only hopes that the people in the world can make a living in peace and stability, when the time comes, I will take my brother back to my hometown, buy dozens of acres of land, marry my beloved woman, and give birth to him with more than ten or twenty children, haha, when the time comes, there will be flowers in spring and autumn and moon, and there will be heavy rain in summer and snow in winter, that is the day I am looking forward to. β
Seeing that he was talking and behaving frankly, the scribe nodded with a smile: "I believe in the words of adults, but adults, you have more than ten or twenty children, isn't this a bit much?"
Wang Qilin said: "You don't know how good my fiancΓ©e is, I would like her to have fewer children, but I guess not." β
The dozen or twenty children he said were also said to be younger.
In these years, the common people are very capable of giving birth, not because they like to give birth, but because there is no entertainment and no contraception at night, what can men and women do together?
It's like why his parents were able to have seven children?
And the fox has at least five cubs in one litter, Wang Qilin feels that he has been made up well, then he must be much more energetic than his Lao Tzu, Sui Sui gave birth to four or five babies is the least, so it is twenty cubs to lay the foundation.
In addition, he said to the young that foxes are very capable of giving birth, many of them are ten cubs in one litter, and when the time comes, they will be put in his house:
One child and ten treasures: where to run the high-ranking official daddy......
He returned to Dongshi with the news and saw that a group of people were no longer barbecuing, and they all gathered nervously.
Xie Toad took Xu Da to sit opposite, the wooden box was placed in front of them, and Xie Toad was about to open the box.
Wang Qilin hurriedly ran over, and he asked in surprise, "What about Han Er, how could he let you open the box?"
Huang Junzi stammered and said: "No, don't let Han Er get out of the way, and then Dao Ye will knock him out!"
Xie Toad said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you are also stupid, he has not had a good rest for two days and two nights, you let him carry it like this and are not afraid that something will happen to his body? Since he dreams when he sleeps, then change it to stun him, he won't dream after stuning him, so that his body can still rest, right?"
Lu Shi nodded first: "What Dao Ye said is right, Seventh Master, you are really happy, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!"
Xie Toad opened the box, but immediately closed it again.
Xu Da's face changed suddenly, and he pointed to the box in horror.
Xie Toad glanced at him, he reluctantly swallowed the words he was about to speak, and said in a dry voice, "How can it be such a thing?"
Wang Qilin was about to speak, and a group of people had already asked in unison: "What is it?"
Xu Da frowned and covered his mouth, looking like a 'little woman is so scared'.
Seeing this, Wang Qilin knew that this slut was pretending.
Xie Toad didn't speak, he muttered: "I didn't expect this thing to be in this Han Er, Ah Huang, do you know Han Er?"
Huang Junzi cautiously asked: "Dao Ye, what kind of understanding do you know? If you ask him what he likes to eat and his work and rest rules, these sons know a lot, but if you want to know ......?"
"Okay, I know you don't understand. Xie Toad interrupted him.
Wang Qilin asked, "What the hell is in here?"
Xie Toad handed it to him and motioned for him to open it himself.
Wang Qilin asked, "Didn't Han Er say that if he opened this thing, he would be in trouble?"
Xie Toad said: "If you don't open it now, he will already have a catastrophe, so it doesn't matter if you can't open it." But be careful, just take a look. β
Wang Qilin wondered, he still had to look quietly? What the hell is in this?
He opened the box to reveal a slit, squinted his eyes and looked insideβEight Meow and Nine-Six were pulling him by the arms and feet from both sides of his body, hanging their eyes and looking in, and then they both meowed and stunned:
Inside is a bone tank, a very large white porcelain bone tank!
The bone jar was round, and the outside was filled with many soft and fine wood chips, so when Wang Qilin shook it before, he heard a rustling sound, which was the sound of wood chips rubbing.
He asked Xie Toad in surprise, "What does Han Er mean by carrying such a thing?"
Huang Junzi and the others asked in unison, "What is it?"
Wang Qilin glanced at them and said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't make a fool of yourself." β
The group was quite unhappy, and Huang Junzi muttered, "Why are you hiding it from us?"
Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Tianzun, because there is a big treasure in it, Lao Dao can't let you know what kind of treasure this is for the time being, and when Han Er wakes up, if he is willing to let you know, let him tell you." β
He looked at Wang Qilin again and asked, "Seventh Master, you rushed over just now, did you find anything?"
Wang Qilin said: "Yes, I may have found those two brothers who sold snakes." β
Huang Junzi was overjoyed: "Ah Qi, I knew you could, where are those two brothers from? Let's go find them quickly." β
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "I want to find you yourself, I won't go, and I won't be able to go." β
Huang Junzi immediately reacted: "The two of them won't die, right?
Wang Qilin can see from this point that Huang Junzi is not stupid, but he is very naΓ―ve, like a greenhouse flower.
Xie Toad said: "The two of them are already dead, then all this may make sense, but Seventh Master, have you found out where the two of them live? Or is there any family at home? Let's go and see." β
Wang Qilin said: "Knowing their residence and name, it should be easy to find them, but I don't know if these two people are the two brothers Ah Huang and they met." β
This can only be inquired about.
Xie Toad asked Master Lu to take Huang Junzi's subordinates here to take care of Han Er, and then put down the wooden box and told him repeatedly: "If Lao Dao doesn't come back, you must not open it!"
Huang Junzi stared at the group and said, "Don't look for death for this son!"
The four of them set off for Changling-eup.
Bai Juyi, the king of poetry, once wrote a very famous poem, called 'Pipa Xing', one of which has been passed down for thousands of years, and Wuling is young and entangled.
The five tombs in the poem are the rich N generations and official N generations of these mausoleums outside Chang'an City.
Lingyi is a county-level administrative unit, as early as Qin Shi Huang built a mausoleum at the foot of Lishan Mountain, set up the first mausoleum about ten miles northeast of the mausoleum - Liyi.
It is usually said that the Han inherited the Qin system, but in fact it is like this, many things in the Han Dynasty are learned from the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang's practice of creating a mausoleum was also inherited and perfected by the Western Han Dynasty, and when this dynasty was established, Taizu was saddened by the destruction of the Central Plains culture by the previous dynasty, so he vowed to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and he moved back many of the official systems and living patterns of the Han Dynasty.
This is the case of the current Wulingyi, according to the historical records, Emperor Taizu sent the nobles and soldiers of the previous dynasty to rebuild the tombs of the Han Dynasty north of the Wei River, and from east to west there are Yanglingyi, Changlingyi, Anlingyi, Pinglingyi, Maolingyi and so on.
These five tombs are the largest of them, and there are actually many smaller tombs.
The Lingyi system was not only used because Emperor Taizu wanted to emulate the ancestral system, but also because this system had a lot of effects on stabilizing the world.
Initially, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, decided to build Lingyi in order to eliminate the unstable factors in the east, and he migrated a large number of Haoqiang from the Kanto region to the Guanzhong region and lived near Changlingyi for easy monitoring and control.
In the period of this dynasty, it was not only Taizu who raised troops to revolt, the previous dynasty had no virtue, and the rebels from all over the country rose up, and for a while, there were countless heroes.
In order to avoid the resurgence of the family power of the powerful people, these families were all migrated from all over the country, which also formed the characteristics of Wulingyi today's large population, mixed accents, and diverse food and cultural customs.
Among the five Lingyi, Changlingyi is the largest, and all the people living here are Jiangnan clans, and the Zhu family where Zhu Huaijin, Xu's rival, lives here.
Changlingyi is a county, and Qizifang is a township, which surrounds the outside of Changlingyi, which is the result of the distant relatives of the Wang clan in Jiangnan who moved to this place, and most of the people living in this place are poor people.
However, the capital is a big place after all, and the rural areas are also very prosperous, with 2,000 households in the ruler square, which is enough for the size of a county town in the northwest borderland.
After Wang Qilin arrived at the ruler shop, he inquired about Chang Boyuan and Chang Zhongyuan, and in the face of his interrogation, the common people replied with blank faces.
Xu Da changed his question: "There are two brothers who caught snakes, and they were killed by the snake spirit in revenge a few days ago, where is their home?"
Hearing this, the common people suddenly said: "Brother Snake and Brother Snake." "Come with me. "Their family is long gone, so let's go to their graveyard and have a look." β
After walking around the shop for a while, they came to a thatched house, and the woman leading the group pointed to the door and said, "This is their house, and the government has sealed it, but it is said that snakes still appear here intermittently, so the surrounding families have moved away." β
Xu Da thanked the woman like a woman, and gave a stack of small pots bought on the road to a woman, and the woman left happily, and said to them when she left: "The slave family is called Feng Xiaopo, and everyone in this workshop knows the slave family, so you can go to me if you have something." β
After he left, Wang Qilin stepped over the wall and entered the thatched hut.
The courtyard was built in a simple circle, and he sniffled, and the air of the monastic was filled with a strong smell of water.
He went to push open a side room to see, there was a black rumbling cellar dug inside, it was very wet, it should be designed to let the water snake survive.
Then he went to push open the side room opposite, and as soon as the door opened, the eight meows who followed him immediately rushed up, waving his claws in mid-air, and slapped a long figure to the ground at once.
A big colorful snake!
I don't know what breed this snake is, it has hideous lines on its body, red and green, a triangular head, black eyes, and the snake hyacinth spits out the silk, which is very ferocious.
Then it folded its head and looked at Hachimeow obediently.
Eight Meow licked its paws and prepared to dry, but when it saw this, it was depressed, so it went up and slapped the snake's head with its claws.
The snake didn't move, and after being filmed, he lay on the ground.
Eight Meow casually turned around and walked back, and the big snake scurried up.
Wang Qilin subconsciously wanted to let Eight Meows be careful, but the big snake got up and drilled into the cellar with all his might, and there was a small pit below, and it wanted to get into the small pit.
Eight Meows backflips and landed, landing right at the door of the cellar and holding down the tail of the big snake.
It was only a matter of time before the serpent could escape, but at this point, it couldn't escape.
Huang Junzi emerged from behind Wang Qilin and asked, "What are you looking at?
Wang Qilin got out of the way and pushed him from behind, and Huang Junzi fell unsteadily into the cellar.
Sudden Mutation!
Many triangular heads soon popped up around the cellar, and there were hundreds of snakes around the entire cellar!
Huang Junzi froze.
Wang Qilin hurriedly said: "Hurry up!"
The snakes swallowed their tongues, hissing like thick spring rain on bamboo leaves.
Eight Meow raised his paws and stood up with a cry, the hissing stopped abruptly, and the snakes blinked at Eight Meow, and suddenly disappeared into the pit again.
Cats are the natural enemies of snakes.
Eight meows are the most dominant cats among cats.
Huang Junzi was frightened and lost his soul, Wang Qilin had to go down and drag him up, Ba Meow disdained this, and looked at Huang Junzi's eyes full of contempt.
After returning to the courtyard, Huang Junzi broke out, and he yelled at Wang Qilin: "Do you know that people are scary and scared to death? Ah Qi, this son treats you as a true friend, why do you want to kill this son?"
Wang Qilin explained embarrassedly: "I didn't know that the cellar was actually a snake's nest, but it was true that this was a heavenly prison, didn't they come to check this place? Why didn't they find that this place became a snake's nest?"
Xu Da, who was climbing the wall, asked curiously, "Ah Huang, are you afraid of snakes?"
Huang Junzi said in a low mood: "When my son was a child, he was entangled by a big python, and it came to me several times, as if it was entangled with me, and later, it was difficult to get rid of it, and since then I have been afraid of snakes. β
Xu Da jumped off the wall, but there were also potholes at the base of the wall, and he landed unsteadily and staggered forward several steps and almost fell.
However, he reacted quickly, went straight to Huang Junzi and hugged him, and said: "It's okay, now that the uncle is here, you don't have to be afraid of snakes, the uncle likes snakes the most, and there is a big python on the uncle." β
Xie Toad stood at the head of the wall overlooking the whole yard, he stepped on the wall and walked up to the roof, walked to the chimney and put his arm into it, and when he pulled out his arm again, he held a rope in his hand.
Looking at the rope, he muttered, "Sure enough, it's okay, it's okay." β
Wang Qilin asked, "Master Dao, don't play dumb riddles, what's going on?"
Xie Toad Zhengse said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Lao Dao is not trying to play dumb riddles, but has been thinking about what happened to him. β
"That thing in the wooden box, that's a very powerful magic weapon, it's called the Cave Cauldron!"
"Cave Heaven Blessed Land?" Wang Qilin was shocked.
Xie Toad shook his head and said: "No, it's the Dongtian Cauldron, the cauldron of the broken cauldron and the sinking boat, but it does have something to do with the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, it is said that it was made by the immortals who saw the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in ancient times, it is very similar to the Sumeru mustard seed, and there is a special space in it." β
"The difference is that the Sumeru mustard seed is very small, and the cave cauldron is large, the Sumeru mustard seed space is also small, and the cave cauldron has a large space. Moreover, there is no way to store living things in Sumeru mustard seeds, but the cave cauldron can!"
Wang Qilin was still surprised when he heard it, this thing is indeed a treasure!
He subconsciously said, "I thought it was a bone jar inside." β
"It's not wrong to say it's a bone tank. Xie Toad said slowly, "Now, I'm afraid there are a lot of dead people in that cave cauldron. β
