Chapter 437

It's just that after the hall fell into darkness this time, nothing strange happened. Everyone was on alert, and after a long time, there was still silence all around. It's just that the four columns of water under the coffin on the platform have disappeared at some point, and the ebony coffin has become fragmented after being burned by the fire, and it has fallen scattered on the platform.

The "moonlight" shines through the hole in the ceiling of the main hall and is shining on the platform. The hall slowly became brighter, and a burnt smell filled everyone's mouths and noses, and people wanted to vomit. The throne on the platform seemed to be covered with a strange white light, which looked strange and gorgeous.

Liu Yong saw that there was no abnormality in the hall, so he said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, what should we do next?"

Situ Qiao said: "I have thought about it carefully. Yao Guangxiao didn't know what means he used, but he actually reenacted the situation when he and Zhu Di turned against each other more than a hundred years ago in this hall. We have all seen his martial arts, if this person is alive, even if you rush up, you will definitely not be able to defeat him. Fortunately, the wicked have their own evildoers. Although Yao Guangxiao is good at martial arts and extremely ruthless, he still fell for Zhu Di. When he drank the poisoned wine, he thought that he had already tried the wine, and thought that even if it was poisonous, he could dissolve it. It's just that since Zheng He was present, the poison in this poisonous wine is supposed to be brought back by Zheng He from overseas, which is different from the poison in Middle-earth. Rao is Yao Guangxiao treacherous like a ghost, or drank Zhu Di's footwashing water. After he was poisoned, he was no match for Zheng He. It's just that looking at the way he talked to Zhu Di, Zhu Di shouldn't have wanted to kill him at first, he must have said something that Zhu Di couldn't tolerate, which caused Zhu Di to poison him. Later, the gray-clothed old monk who suddenly appeared was Yao Guangxiao's friend Puqia monk. It's just that I've always heard that Pu Qia has a very close relationship with Emperor Jianwen, and he was put in prison by Zhu Di after the Battle of Jingjing. When Yao Guangxiao was about to die, Zhu Di personally visited him and asked him if he had anything undone. Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di that Pu Qia has been locked up for more than ten years, no matter what he has done before, he is already dying, and there is no need to embarrass him anymore. Zhu Di immediately ordered Pu Qia to be released, and asked Pu Qia to rush to Yao Guangxiao's residence, and the two met for the last time. But judging from Fang Cai's situation, this Puqia monk is clearly Yao Guangxiao's helper, and the two must have a great plot......"

When he said this, Li Qiufeng suddenly spoke: "What I heard is different from you. It is said that Yao Guangxiao offended Emperor Taizu in the past and had to escape into the empty door. It's just that several of his friends were beheaded by Emperor Taizu, and Yao Guangxiao was bent on revenge. He is a thoughtful person, knowing that wanting to subvert the Ming Dynasty with the power of one person is tantamount to a fool's dream, and he happened to meet Pu Qia, who is also a monk who avoids trouble, and the two hit it off, and they plotted every day how to kill Emperor Taizu. Later, the two thought that only killing Emperor Taizu was not revenge for their friends. It is necessary to kill all the descendants of Emperor Taizu, and even overturn the Ming Dynasty to relieve the anger in his heart.

After the two made a plan, it happened that Emperor Taizu selected the monks to accompany the princes and pray for the princes, Yao Guangxiao and Pu Qia thought that this was a godsend, so they tried every means to make their names included in the list of monks. At that time, the crown prince Zhu Biao was still there, Yao Guangxiao thought that Pu Qia was dignified, and had a very good reputation in Jiangnan, and his family background was innocent. However, just in case, you can't put all your eggs in the basket of Prince Zhu Biao. Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Di, the king of Yan, among the princes. This is because the most powerful warlock at that time, Yuan Heng, met all the princes, and thought that King Yan looked at the tiger and could never tolerate only being a prince, and he would inevitably be this person in the future. Yao Guangxiao secretly watched King Yan, and felt that he could use King Yan to confront the crown prince, so that the Ming Dynasty would cause trouble and Emperor Taizu's sons would kill each other, which would be more painful than killing Emperor Taizu with a sword. King Yan is a yin owl by nature, although he can lead troops to fight, but he is cruel and easy to kill, and has a bad reputation. Moreover, he was named the king of Yan, and he was in Beiping, which was close to the outside of the fortress, and he was at war with the Tartar soldiers from time to time, which can be said to be a dangerous place, and no one wanted to go to all the high monks. Yao Guangxiao visited King Yan at night and asked to go to Beiping with King Yan. At that time, King Yan was sent by Emperor Taizu to Beiping and held back his anger. Seeing that Yao Guangxiao had an ugly face and did not have the appearance of a high-ranking monk, he was troubled, so he said to Yao Guangxiao, what ability do you have to go to Beiping with this king? Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, The poor monk has no ability, but he can give the prince a white hat.

"Add a white character to the word king, which is the emperor's imperial character. How smart King Yan was, he immediately felt that this monk had an extraordinary background. At that moment, the two of them discussed secretly in the room, and Yao Guangxiao explained the general trend of the world for King Yan, which made King Yan suddenly open. On the second day, he made it clear to Emperor Taizu that he wanted to ask Yao Guangxiao to accompany him to Beiping. Emperor Taizu naturally didn't know about Yao Guangxiao's scheme, so he granted King Yan's request.

The crown prince Zhu Biao died early, and Pu Qia assisted the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen until Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and became the emperor. The world has always thought that Emperor Jianwen's proposal to cut the feudal domain came from Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others, but in fact, the mastermind behind it was this Puqia monk. He had already made a plan with Yao Guangxiao, and Pu Qia planned a plan to cut the feudal domain for Emperor Jianwen in the palace, so that the emperor and his uncle who were divided into various places killed each other. Yao Guangxiao instigated King Yan to rebel and took the opportunity to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizu had killed the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty cleanly, and Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and other advisers were also killed by Taizu one after another, and no one could restrain Yao Guangxiao and Pu Qia. Everyone knows what happened after that, King Yan launched the Battle of Jingjing, subverted Emperor Jianwen's country in one fell swoop, and seized the throne. Pu Qia was indeed captured by Cheng Zu, although he was tortured at first, but Cheng Zu wanted to ask for the news of Emperor Jianwen from his mouth, but he couldn't torture him to death, so he was locked in a prison, but he didn't suffer much. ”

Hearing this, Situ Qiao nodded and said, "Maybe things are indeed as you said." But no matter what, it is undoubtedly that Yao Guangxiao and Pu Qia have colluded for a long time. Judging from Fang Cai's situation, Zhu Di either had doubts about Yao Guangxiao for a long time, or he just wanted to kill people to prevent the scandal of his usurpation of the throne from leaking out. It was because the two of them deceived me and wanted to kill each other. In the end, it was Zhu Di's chess master, which made Yao Guangxiao highly poisoned and unable to fight against Zheng He. Before Yao Guangxiao came to see Zhu Di, he was ready to let Pu Qia watch on the side. Thinking of his plan, he wanted to join forces with Pu Qia to kill the emperor, but he was poisoned first, not only could he not kill Zhu Di, but fell into a trap. After Pu Qia appeared, Zheng He led the brocade guards to protect the emperor, Pu Qia couldn't kill Zhu Di, so he could only rescue Yao Guangxiao. Thinking that when Yao Guangxiao planned a rebellion for Zhu Di, he built this underground palace in the belly of the mountain under the Hutou Rock in the name of accumulating grain, grass and ordnance for King Yan, in case of emergency. The grain, grass and ordnance in the cave were just a cover for Yao Guangxiao to build this city, this person was really thoughtful, and even a cunning person like Zhu Di was concealed by him. ”

When Situ Qiao said this, Liu Yong asked on the side: "If Yao Guangxiao wants to overthrow the great tomorrow, he should recruit troops and accumulate strength." But what was the use of him running into the heart of this mountain and building this city?

Situ Qiao said: "What Mr. Liu said is good. Although Yao Guangxiao is thoughtful and scheming. But what he used was only a conspiracy after all, attacking cities and plundering land, and field warfare, but it was not his forte. Intrigue can be used for a while, but not for a lifetime. If you talk about strategy, Zhu Di may not be as good as him, but when it comes to commanding thousands of troops and horses to win a decisive victory on the battlefield, ten Yao Guangxiao are not as good as one Zhu Di. What's more, although Zhu Yuanzhang is a bastard, the Ming Dynasty drove out the Tartars, restored the clothes of the Han people, and was deeply loved by the people. Yao Guangxiao wants to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, naturally he is not treated by the people, and he wants to wave his arms and gather soldiers and horses to subvert the Ming Dynasty, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

Speaking of this, Situ Qiao looked at the ebony coffin on the platform, which had been burned to a disfigured level, and then said: "Yao Guangxiao couldn't drive the living to work for him, so he had to find another way. I don't know where he found the method, but he actually thought of using dead people to charge for him......"

When Situ Qiao said this, everyone's hearts were full of joy, and they all thought of the skeleton in Fang Cai's coffin. But I heard Situ Qiao say: "I think everyone has seen the power of that skeleton just now." You are all martial arts masters, and more than a dozen people are besieging him, and they can't get rid of him yet. If there are thousands of such skeletons used in the battle array, even if Bai Qi, Li Mu, Kong Ming, Zhou Yu, Li Jing, Yue Fei and other famous generals are resurrected, they are definitely not Yao Guangxiao's opponents. ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought of the tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers outside the main hall. Qingfeng Daoren's face changed greatly, and he said to Situ Qiao: "Could it be that those skeletons outside the main hall are the sergeants that Yao Guangxiao plans to use to rebel?"

Situ Qiao nodded and said, "I think that's it." And if my guess is correct, the skeleton in the coffin is the corpse of Monk Puqia. This Yao Guangxiao is really vicious, after Pu Qia saved his life, Zhu Di will naturally send a master to chase and kill, and he will definitely send a sea fishing document, and all prefectures and counties in the world will go all out to arrest him. With nowhere else to go, the two fled all the way to the cave. Yao Guangxiao wanted to drive the skeleton army he had arranged a long time ago to fight off the ground and go to Zhu Di to settle accounts. It's just that he hasn't figured out what joints are in it, and he can't bring these skeletons back to life. Yao Guangxiao killed Pu Qia and put him in a coffin, wanting to see if he could be resurrected. This Pu Qia martial arts is strong, if Yao Guangxiao's method can succeed, it is enough to use Pu Qia to be a hundred, which will be very beneficial to his strategy. ”

Situ Qiao's words are eloquent, although they make a lot of sense, but the content is too absurd. Everyone thought in their hearts, "How can a person come back to life after death, let alone turn into a skeleton?" but everyone saw the terrible scene of the skeleton standing up from the coffin, and it was difficult to refute it for a while, so they had to be silent.

Situ Qiao continued: "This underground city is where Yao Guangxiao's foundation is, if there is a secret passage in the belly of this mountain that can escape, it must be in this city." It's just that I still have two things I haven't figured out, the first thing is where Yao Guangxiao's body is hidden, and whether he will become inhuman and ghostly like Pu Qia. The second thing is where Yao Guangxiao got the tens of thousands of skeletons outside the main hall, and whether they will also come back to life like Pu Qia. If these tens of thousands of skeletons besiege us, then everyone will have to ask for more blessings. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a faint sound of squirming outside the main hall. At first, the sound was like the buzzing of mosquitoes, but the sound became louder and louder, and after a while, it had become a "bang, bang, bang", as if the heavens and the earth were full of such strange sounds. Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they all thought in their hearts: "Situ Qiao really gave birth to a crow's mouth! Whatever you're afraid of, you can come to whatever you're afraid of, and those skeleton sergeants must have also come back to life, how can this be good?!"
