Chapter 25: Anecdotes of Strange Books

The girl and Momiji carefully put the firefly in the palm of their hand into a translucent silk sac, tied it up, and hung it on the tip of a reed. The girl asked proudly, "Momiji, what do you think of the fluorescent lanterns made by Princess Ben?"

"The lanterns made by the princess are more delicate and bright than the lanterns made by the palace masters!"

The girl said angrily, "Momiji, are you making up nonsense again?"

Momiji hurriedly replied, "How dare the slave deceive the princess, you see that the lanterns we made are like the bright moon in the sky, they are bright, and you don't have to worry about overturning them and causing a fire!"

When the girl heard this, she smiled and said, "Momiji, you are getting better and better at talking!"

The man in black stood by for a few moments before coughing softly. Seeing this, Hongye hurriedly reminded: "Princess, General Zhou is still waiting?"

The girl suddenly came back to her senses and continued: "The rest of the story is also very interesting, I will continue to tell it to the two of you!"

Besides, Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice asked the heavens on the top of the golden summit of Zhongnan Mountain, and stayed until the ninth day, the weather on the ninth day was also very strange, the continuous heavy rain began to gradually stop, the sky was like picking eggs, the clouds and mist faded layer by layer, and the nine heavens such as the sun, moon and stars were presented in turn.

At this time, Li Chunfeng really believed that the heaven and earth in the ancient books were transformed by chaotic qi, and the heavens were divided into nine parts. Li Chunfeng saw that the sky was changing rapidly, so he hurriedly knelt down and prayed, burning incense and praying. At this time, the sky seemed to have been opened a gap, and in the gap there was a gust of wind and wind, a heat wave rolling, a cold air for a while, and after a while, there were dark clouds all around, lightning and thunder.

Li Chunfeng on the high platform was not afraid of the great changes in the environment, he stood against the wind, and thought to himself: The worse the weather, the more he must strengthen his beliefs, even if he is killed by this lightning, it is for the sake of the common people in the world, and it is also a matter of death, so he straightened his waist instead, and he was upright, no matter how the sky changes, he will not move.

In the evening, a spherical lightning bolt swept past Li Chunfeng, as fast as a whirlwind, spinning at high speed, and everywhere he went, the trees and rocks turned into dust and dust. The lightning shone brightly, illuminating the dim surroundings like day, and it flew over the altar, hitting the opposite mountain rock and bouncing back, like a white horse passing through Li Chunfeng's body in an instant.

Li Chunfeng's whole body was shrouded in white light, as if he was crazy, he covered his head with his hands, shouted loudly, his voice was very sad and painful, and after a while, his emotions gradually stabilized, and said to Yuan Tiangang beside him: "Master, the disciple was illuminated by a strong light just now, just like riding a horse, running in the whirlpool of time, and finally realized Lao Tzu's "white horse passing through the gap" in the Tao Te Ching I also saw a lot of strange images, there are characters from this dynasty in these images, and there are also many characters from unknown dynasties and generations, and there is a proverb and a verse behind each picture. ”

Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Chunfeng was opened by the magical natural light, and hurriedly said: "Apprentice, this is God's gratitude for the sincerity of our master and apprentice, and it is also a piece of care for the people in the world. Now, while you are still awake and have not completely forgotten, you hurry up to recall, draw it for the teacher, and record it. ”

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, he led Li Chunfeng to a pavilion not far from the top of the mountain, at this time the wind and rain on the mountain had suddenly stopped, and there was silence all around, only the sound of the gurgling water of the mountain stream was heard.

Li Chunfeng sorted out his thoughts and began to recall: "This first picture is a plate of plums, with a total of 21 plums.

"The results are incomprehensible.

One fruit and one kernel, that is, the new is the old. ”

Ode:

"All things are born in the soil, and the twenty-nine come to fruition.

Unification of the Central Plains, Yin and Yang are exhausted first. ”

Yuan Tiangang listened carefully on the side, recorded what Li Chunfeng said one by one, and then passed the pictures to Li Chunfeng for inspection, asking him if he was as he saw in his heart.

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "The number of Li Shi in the hexagram is true, but the number of layers is different!"

Yuan Tiangang changed his draft several times, and it was not until it completely conformed to what Li Chunfeng saw in his heart that the first hexagram was finalized.

Li Chunfeng then talked about the second hexagram: this hexagram is very strange, there is only a young woman in her twenties, holding a big knife, saying:

When the sun and moon are in the sky, they shine on the earth.

Confusing, uncivilized and martial.

Ode:

Visiting the empty king, once re-entered the imperial palace.

The roots of the branches are still there, and the chicken is male.

Li Chunfeng sighed: "This seems to be a sign of the heroine's chaos, the root of the curse has been planted at present, and my country will suffer from this catastrophe in less than 30 years." This storm should be the precursor to this hexagram. ”

Yuan Tiangang said: "This is the will of heaven, not human can change, we can only adapt to the sky, is the king." ”

Li Chunfeng listened to his master's words, so he had no choice but to nod yes.

So Li Chunfeng recalled, Yuan Tiangang transcribed, the two got a total of 58 pictures in turn, Yuan Tiangang saw that Li Chunfeng was still unfinished, and was still struggling to reminisce, afraid that he would continue to leak the heavenly secrets, so he gently pushed his back with his hand, and comforted: "Apprentice, we have already seen through the heavenly machine, everything can not be done, leave some secrets for the future!", so the master and apprentice discussed, and added the first picture and the 60th picture on the basis of this 58 picture, and named this picture "Push Back Picture".

"Princess, this "Tui Bei Tu" should be the secret of Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice, how did it get included in the palace later, and how did it become known to the world?", Hongye couldn't help but ask on the side.

The man in black also said curiously: "Yes, since this Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice named this picture "Tui Bei Tu", it must be through such an inconspicuous title to hide people's eyes, and this is also to better hide these big secrets! Princess, what happened to this strange book?"

The girl continued: "Shortly after this natural disaster was forgotten, on the day when the Queen of Heaven was summoned to the palace and was named a talented person by Taizong, there was a rare solar eclipse since ancient times, and the entire court was in a very panicked atmosphere. ”

Taizong asked Li Chunfeng and said: "My world has just stabilized, but today there is an unprecedented celestial phenomenon. I don't know who began to disturb our country, and who was the one who ascended to the pole after our dynasty? What kind of dynasty was it? I hope Aiqing can say it for me. ”

Li Chunfeng responded cautiously: "Your Majesty! If you want to know what will happen in the future, you can refer to the previous dynasties. Since the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, Qin died in rape, and the Han dynasty died in weakness, and the Sixteen Kingdoms of Wei and Jin dynasties died suddenly, and the death of the former Sui Dynasty was due to Emperor Yang's great joy and exhaustion of the world's material resources and people's hearts. Throughout the previous dynasties, it was the virtuous people who prospered, and if they lost their hearts, they would gradually decline, which is the unchanging truth of all generations!"

Seeing that Li Chunfeng did not directly answer his question, Taizong continued: "What I asked is not this. Rather, I hope that Aiqing can calculate how many years our dynasty will be able to enjoy from the aspect of the number of Heavenly Dao techniques? Who began to destroy our country, who replaced our world? and how the Heavenly Dao Society evolved later, I want to know this?"

Li Chunfeng replied: "Your Majesty, this is a heavenly opportunity, and Weichen does not dare to leak it!"

Taizong continued: "The heavenly machine comes from Aiqing's mouth, into my ears, Aiqing only said it to me alone, no one else knows, Aiqing must say it to me." ”

Li Chunfeng still refused to agree, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still doesn't dare to leak!"

Taizong had no choice but to sigh: "If Aiqing doesn't say it, I won't be reluctant." Aiqing, please follow me into the Forbidden Palace, I have important matters to discuss. ”

Li Chunfeng was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to follow Taizong and climb the tall building of Xianqing Palace.

Taizong ordered someone to evacuate the stairs before saying to Li Chunfeng: "This place is not as good as the sky, and it can't go down to the ground, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about outsiders knowing, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I am the Son of Heaven and know some heavenly opportunities, right?" Aiqing can say it for me now!"

Li Chunfeng said slowly: "The people who mess with me in the world are next to Banzai." Thirty years later, he will have almost killed all of His Majesty's descendants, and the Lord will not know it. ”

Taizong continued to ask: "Then is this person a civil minister or a military general? Please ask Aiqing to speak clearly for me, and I will kill him immediately to eliminate harm for the country." ”

Li Chunfeng hurriedly dissuaded: "This is the will of heaven, how can it be changed by manpower? This person is only more than 20 years old, if he is killed today, God will inevitably bring disaster to my country, and if a young man is born again, then my descendants of the Tang Dynasty will be even more dangerous." ”

When Taizong heard this, he had no choice but to sigh and say: "Since the will of heaven is like this, then please Aiqing try to talk about this person who messed up my country for me."

Li Chunfeng was reluctant to divulge the secret of heaven, and he couldn't help but say it, so he had to say vaguely: "This person doesn't leave his body, and his eyes are in the air." ”

Taizong said with a smile: "As Aiqing said, then isn't this person a big weirdo, so who can pacify the people who mess with my country?"

Li Chunfeng replied: "Your Majesty don't worry, thirty years later, there will be Wenqu Xing, born in a family that sells tofu, and later as a prime minister, he will naturally be able to calm him." ”

Taizong continued to ask, "What is this person's surname?"

Li Chunfeng replied: "The heavenly machine must not be leaked, if it leaks, there will be a greater disaster." ”

When the girl in red said this, she was afraid that the man in black would not understand, so she deliberately stopped.

When the man in black saw it, he interrupted: "The people who messed up the world that Li Chunfeng predicted are referring to the fact that the Queen of Heaven changed Tang to Zhou?"

The girl snorted and sighed, "This is the will of heaven!

Hongye was very curious when he heard this, and couldn't wait to ask, "What happened later? What did Warlock Li predict to Emperor Taizong?"

The girl cleared her throat and continued to explain to the two:

Later, Taizong continued to ask: "Can the world be peaceful after that?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "The political situation in the first twenty-four years can be comparable to Yao Shun, but in the next twenty-four years, there will be people who will be in turmoil, but it is not dangerous. ”

Taizong sighed: "Then I am really in the world, I don't know who can be calmed?"

Li Chunfeng replied: "If the photon is the general, then it can be calmed." ”

The girl saw the maid Red Leaf looking at her in surprise under the moonlight, and the man in black was even more speechless, explaining: "This matter is about the Anshi Rebellion of the three dynasties of Xuanzong, Suzong, and Daizong, and Li Chunfeng is also right in his prediction. ”

Hongye hurriedly asked, "Princess, the prophecy made by Li Chunfeng later is about to reveal the major events that will happen in the world recently, right?"

The man in black was also full of interest when he heard this, he was afraid that Hongye would interrupt the girl's train of thought, so he hurriedly stopped: "Hongye, don't interrupt the princess first, let her finish telling Li Chunfeng's story, and ask her if we have questions." ”

The girl sighed and said: "Hongye is right, the later prophecy should be related to the current situation, but there is no record of Li Chunfeng's prophecy in the palace so far, and the later prophecy is a curse or a blessing for the imperial court, so I don't know?"

The records of the palace only mentioned lightly: Later, Li Chunfeng had no choice but to dedicate his collection of "Tui Bei Tu" to Taizong, asking Taizong to keep it properly, saying that this book will be related to the fate and happiness of the people in the world thousands of years later, and cannot be circulated, otherwise it will cause many people to think about it, leading to chaos in the world and suffering the people. Taizong saw that this book was very important, so he had to agree to Li Chunfeng's request, and since then he has hidden this "Tui Bei Tu" in the inner courtyard of the palace.

After the girl finished telling the story of Li Chunfeng and "Tui Bei Tu", she stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky in the distance, and sighed: "What did Li Chunfeng prophecy behind it? Since his first two prophecies were recorded in the court, why was there no record of the follow-up? Could it be that there was not even a trace left?"

The man in black and Momiji were also puzzled by this matter, and they both lowered their heads and thought hard.

Xu Zhi also heard about these secrets in the court for the first time, and sighed: This Li Chunfeng is really the first strange person since ancient times, and he actually predicted the two large-scale turmoil that occurred in the Tang court after his death.

Seeing that the girl was still deep in thought, the man in black seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said, "Princess, since there is no Li Chunfeng in the Imperial History Bureau in the palace, there is a further prophecy about the current and future situation. The subordinates speculated: There are only two possible outcomes, one is that the prophecy of "Tui Bei Tu" implies a situation that is extremely unfavorable to our dynasty, so the emperor of the past dynasties is very secretive about this part of the content, so that the historian deliberately deleted this part of the record.

"There is also a possibility that the book and related records were stolen at the same time, but this book has been hidden deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, how can it be lost to the people?"

Hongye also persuaded on the side: "Yes, princess, General Zhou is right, since there is no record in the palace, there will definitely be relevant prophecies in the "Tui Bei Tu". As long as we find the strange book "Tui Bei Tu", we can know Li Chunfeng's predictions and judgments on the current situation. ”

Xu Zhi saw that the girl listened to the words of the man in black and Hongye for a long time before saying: "I hope that the result of this matter is the second possibility that General Zhou said, after all, now that it is certain that the book has been circulated among the people, I also asked General Yun to personally go down to Jiangnan to investigate the whereabouts of this book, and there should be a result soon, and the real reason for the theft of this book from the palace can be found out, as well as the great secret hidden in it." ”

When the man in black heard this, he was worried: "I hope the princess can find this book as soon as possible, but her subordinates still can't understand: since the princess doesn't know the secret in the "Tui Bei Tu", why should she publish it to the world?"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "General Zhou, do you also think that a strange book can change the hearts of the people in the world?"

The man in black asked, "Forgive my subordinates for being stupid, but my subordinates still don't understand the princess's intentions?"

The girl replied, "Then let it be a secret of the world!"

Xu Zhi suddenly realized: "The little princess of this court is really far-sighted, she is just using this strange book to hide people's eyes and ears and stir up disputes among the princes of the world, and the court can benefit from it." It seems that this girl in front of her must be the most powerful opponent of the Yellow King Righteous Army!"
