Chapter 560
Chapter 560
Jia Cong was sitting in the office of the Dajiala Government Building, which was full of future generations. After listening to Liu Xiaoqi talk about the late emperor's past for a long time, he couldn't help cursing a curse word for future generations: "Fuck him!"
Liu Xiaoqi rolled her eyes: "What are you complaining about? Our family has sacrificed their lives for several generations, and I didn't complain."
Jia Cong snorted, "That's because your ancestors were stupid."
Liu Xiaoqi gave him a sideways glance: "It's as if your ancestors weren't stupid!"
Jia Cong choked, wanted to refute but couldn't argue, so he could only ask: "What kind of tricks did that old man Zhen Deren use to make the late Emperor?"
Liu Xiaoqi smiled lightly: "Although Zhen Deren is not a Taoist priest, his master is a celestial master."
It turned out that when Zhen Deren got the box, he took a look at it and understood what was going on.The box is engraved with his master's private seal - others don't recognize it, but he does.His master said that all craftsmen who make organs will learn to pay attention to them when they are learning, such as one yuan, two poles, three talents, four images, five elements, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces and ten directions, and they will follow these when doing it.Those who break the mechanism also learn these things, and use them to break them.Therefore, the organ of order will inevitably be broken; only disorder cannot be cracked.
Outsiders can't break that box, but Zhen Deren can.It is not difficult to break, but it takes some effort. There are 36 celestial gangs, and no one knows what arrangement his master used to arrange them.Try every possibility, and always try the one that can be opened.It's just that people who don't know the details dare not act rashly for this kind of thing, for fear that if they make a mistake, the mechanism will damage the objects inside.Naturally, Zhen Deren couldn't tell the late emperor the truth, he only said that he had to spend several years studying it slowly.It was very difficult for the first emperor to find such an expert, who would obey everything he said.
Zhen Deren then lived in Malishan, pretending to be a painter, strolling every day to see the scenery, chatting with monks and Taoists, and hooking up with little widows.When he went back, he pretended to draw a bunch of mechanism sketches in his residence to fool the little eunuch sent by the late emperor to take care of his daily life, and tried to open the boxes one by one behind his back.One day the test came out and the box was opened.He recognized the celestial master's way of token inside at a glance, recalled all kinds of celestial master's way that his master said when he was alive, and immediately guessed the cause and effect.The Tian family is so cruel and ruthless that even the Tianshi Dao Maitreya teaching will be eliminated when it is used up, let alone yourself?It's enough to pay for my own life, if I don't keep it, even the wife and children at home will not escape death.He immediately put the box back, pretending he didn't find anything.
Zhen Deren is very skilled.Although he couldn't leave Xiaoci County, he was able to ask the first emperor for a lot of materials, and he only said that they were used to break the mechanism inside the box.Just like Monkey Sun seeing a doctor for King Zhuzi, he took these things and fiddled with them day and night. In fact, he only took a few of them and imitated a fake token that was very similar to the token of the Heavenly Master, but smaller .Taking advantage of the Duanyang Festival, the first emperor sent his confidant eunuchs to deliver the rewards. Zhen Deren accidentally dropped the false token from his bosom while thanking him.The eunuch was curious and asked him what it was.Zhen Deren said: "This is left by my teacher. A few days ago on my teacher's birthday, I took it out to worship."
After the eunuch returned to the palace, he told the matter to the late emperor, and the late emperor was shocked when he heard what the false token looked like!Li ordered the eunuch to rush back to Mount Mali quickly, and take the thing left by Master Zhen Deren back to the palace.The late emperor had seen the real thing when the grandpa was there; now when he sees the fake one, countless thoughts flooded into his mind.So he sent a clever eunuch to test Zhen Deren.Desiring to survive with all his heart, Zhen Deren made up many irrelevant stories and hooked up with ambiguous words.The eunuchs in the palace are the best at thinking wildly based on clues. If they think too much, they use words to test Zhen Deren.
In the end, the eunuch thought about it all over again, and decided that Zhen Deren was the illegitimate son raised by an important person in Tianshidao, and his master was ordered to go to Jinling to educate him.Zhen Deren's biological father did not die at the hands of the grandpa, but slipped through the net.It's just that he also believed in his own celestial master and went to practice in seclusion, so he led his congregation to hibernate among the people.Zhen Deren made up another strange object, saying that his master had mentioned it.The thing is not big, but it can withstand thousands of troops.He thought, with the identity of the Celestial Master and this strange object hidden somewhere, maybe the emperor could spare his life and use him to catch the people of the Celestial Master so as to seize the strange object.
Zhen Deren spent several years of hard work, but he didn't open the box, and confessed to the late emperor: "The villain can only be a carpenter, but he can't crack the mechanism." The late emperor was extremely disappointed.Although he didn't open it, he didn't know who he was from the Heavenly Master Way, so he didn't dare to kill it for now.So he ordered him to make another mechanism box, and specially used old camphor wood.Sure enough, Zhen Deren made another one, which was the one that Lin Daiyu and others stole from a temple.He also made a stone rabbit to hide his master's old camphor wood box.The first emperor ordered the stonemason to carve another eleven zodiac animals, which were hidden at the bottom of a lake in a col in Mount Mali, so of course there was no shortage of traps to ambush them.
The first emperor didn't know it at all, praised his exquisite craftsmanship, appointed him a fourth-rank idle official and sent him back to his hometown; before leaving, he ordered someone to ask him for the fake token and leave.Zhen Deren escaped from birth, Amitabha.The old man knew well that the things in the emperor's hand were fake.If he doesn't use it, just pay it back. If he uses it, he will be exposed, and he will die.
The first emperor then sent his emissary to try his luck at the place where the Taoism of Heavenly Masters was rampant in the past with fake tokens.Zhen Deren is extremely skilled in craftsmanship, and Tianshidao has cut off news from the leader for many years.Although I know this thing is not real, I can't tell if it is another important thing.By mistake, the first emperor didn't realize that the thing was fake, and Zhen Deren lived a few more years.
It's just a few more years of life.Since the first emperor could not use the way of the celestial master, he wanted to find the "strange thing" that Zhen Deren mentioned.The late emperor's men sneaked into the Tao of Heavenly Masters with false tokens, but they couldn't find out that "strange thing". No one else knew that there was such a thing.The first emperor thought about it for a few days, and suddenly came to the conclusion: "Could it be that it is in Zhen Deren's own hands, so others don't know?"
Zhen Deren knew that the thing was non-existent, and it didn't take long for his meticulous work to show his flaws.Zhen Deren understood immediately - he lifted a rock and hit his instep, the emperor thought that the strange thing was at home.So he pretended to be a fool, and after years of careful work, he didn't find out the slightest news.The days were not salty or insipid, and Zhen Deren thought that it would be okay to beg for his life on the tip of a knife; but the subtle work suddenly became urgent, and he used all kinds of tricks.Zhen Deren suddenly felt bad, went to Zhen Yingjia's mansion to find out, and learned that the catacombs of the imperial mausoleum were about to be completed.The old man's heart skipped a beat—the emperor must have wanted to find the strange object of that day's teacher to guard the mausoleum for him.Helpless, he sent his smartest little granddaughter to take refuge in Zhen Yingjia's house.Half a year later, the first emperor couldn't wait any longer, and ordered his inner masters to raid Zhen Deren's mansion at night to seize the strange things.
After the bloodbath of Zhen's house, the late emperor sent people to search every inch of the tiles in Zhen's house, and finally found a letter in a bookcase in Zhen Deren's bedroom.The envelope of the letter was the copy of the emperor's play, and the searchers dared not read it, so they sent it to the capital quickly.The first emperor opened the letter, and Zhen Deren explained most of what he had done.From opening the box a long time ago, to making a fake token and weaving a fake miracle. "Saint, you let the villain play tricks." The first emperor was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, but his whole family was dead, so he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Later, the late emperor was about to lose his health, so Fang told the matter to the Supreme Emperor.The Supreme Emperor sent someone to Ma Lishan to check the terrain, and then sent someone to Jinling to check Zhen Deren—he thought, since the old man opened the box, maybe he left other clues?The Supreme Emperor is more anxious than the previous emperors to use the power of Maitreya Sect and Tianshi Dao for himself.It's a pity that he disappeared before he could start to investigate the matter.
Many years later, Jia Xu led the people to find the stone carvings of the Chinese zodiac at the bottom of the Malishan Lake, and found that all the organs at the bottom of the lake had been unpinned.Jia Xuli thought for a while by the lake and understood.When this institution was installed back then, Zhen Deren probably went to inspect it himself in the end.The old man quietly pulled out all the pins... The mechanism at the bottom of the lake became scrap iron.
Jia Xu thought, he arranged for a smart granddaughter to memorize the order of the Tiangang, and pulled out the pins of the mechanism at the bottom of the lake, there must be a reason for it.But after careful investigation of Zhen Deren's actions in Mali Mountain, he found out his two illegitimate sons - one is dead, it must be the imperial court's actions.Then he managed to trick out his concubine Li Taoniang, and obtained the letters and paintings that Zhen Deren had left for his son.It was obvious that he pulled the pin because he was afraid that his son would hit the trap.Piana Li Taoniang is an ambitious woman.Jia Xu seems to be a high-ranking official, racking his brains to tell Jia Xu everything about Zhen Deren, just to get some benefits. "Only disorder can't be deciphered" Those words were said by Zhen Deren drunk.Li Taoniang didn't know what it meant, but she had a good memory and wrote it down; Jia Xu guessed eight or nine points.
He was going to try all the sequences, but Jia Cong sent a letter saying that he would send Zhen Hui to Beijing.Jia Xu thought, since that's the case, it's better to coax out the order of Tiangang from her mouth.What if I didn't guess right, poked it a few times randomly, and the mechanism destroyed the box?So he set up a big set for fennel.First ordered Li Taoniang, mother and son, to help Li Cuihua perform a show, and then put the letters and paintings in the place where ordinary women like to hide things for her to steal.Li Taoniang's son is not Zhen Deren's, Li Cuihua's son is Zhen Deren's, how can she let her son use the power of her biological father to become an official?True or false, they coaxed out Zhen Hui's password.As for the box that Zhen Hui unlocked, as long as you poke at each hole of Tiangang, it can be opened regardless of the order.
Liu Xiaoqi opened the real box and took out the token inside.I was bored, and poked it randomly many times, but the box was never destroyed.Fang knew that Li Taoniang had an excellent memory and what she said was true.Zhen Deren said: "It doesn't matter if Xinjun's people don't find my granddaughter, you just let Zhu'er try all the sequences once, and you can always find the right one. That's how I found it." It's just that Jia Xu said that he did a full set of plays.Now that Zhen Hui is her own person, if she finds out that something is wrong or dangerous, it will be very important.Both Li Taoniang and her son were silenced.
Jia Cong's scalp tingled when he heard this.After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "These two people... don't need to be killed."
Liu Xiaoqi said: "I also think it's okay not to kill him."
Jia Cong said, "You should have stopped Fifth Uncle then."
Liu Xiaoqi smiled wryly, "He's the boss."
Jia Cong was stunned, and the phrase "Learn to say no" was pressed under the root of his tongue, unable to utter it for a long time.In Jiaxu's line of work, subordinates really can't say "no" to the leader.Otherwise, I don't know what will happen.
Liu Xiaoqi said: "The boss said, he is afraid that you will destroy these two things."
Jia Cong touched his nose: "How does he know me so well. I'm hesitating."
Liu Xiaoqi wondered, "Why destroy it?"
Jia Cong sighed: "Religion is a very terrifying power. Once it falls into the wrong hands, it can turn a living person into a robot. And it's so powerful, otherwise how can the grandpa be destroyed? I'm not sure I have the ability to transform they."
Liu Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Why do you need to transform it? Can it just be used? Didn't you say that as long as manpower is clever enough, even scourges can be used?"
Jia Cong smiled wryly and said: "Religion is not a scourge, but the main body is people. In my opinion, religion must not have two things: tax money and the right to command the actions of the congregation. You see, the churches of Westerners have great power, and they have this Two things. Buddhism and Taoism have a long history in our country, and there are many believers. Reciting scriptures and practicing Dharma can save all sentient beings. I welcome this; They must not be tolerated. Because they not only have the rules, but also have the ability to maintain the rules. And their rules and my rules are obviously not the same set of rules. Do their believers listen to me or theirs?"
Liu Xiaoqi said: "I must listen to them."
Jia Cong said: "If ordinary monks break the law, the government can take them down and question them, just like the evil Taoist who dug a tunnel underground for the King of Shu's mansion and hid the Seven Yin Formation, was dealt with by the King of Shu. If there is a powerful Taoist Taoist behind him What? Can the King of Shu deal with him? Will he be rescued?"
Liu Xiaoqi blinked: "Why didn't I understand? Now that the two keepsakes are in your hands, why don't you take all their money into your hands for your own use?"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Grandfather also took them all for his own use, and what happened in the end? Even the emperor who holds the state machine can't deal with them, he can only coax them into dormancy. This power is so powerful, it's too scary And they didn’t help for free, didn’t they all ask for the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism? There are so many schools of Buddhism and Taoism, it’s impossible to prosper together.”
"Of course they favor their own side."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "The emperor helped to promote their own sect, so they can recruit many new disciples, and new money will flow in, making them stronger. These people will abide by the rules of their sect, not the laws of the country. Once their rules conflict with the laws of the country, they will stand on the opposite side of the laws of the country. The most terrifying thing is that they are powerful and able to resist the government. The country cannot fail to stand. The layman commits crimes, and the monks and Taoists commit crimes, so what will happen to the world? ?Everyone goes to become a monk, can't they do anything recklessly? If things go on like this, the country will be ruined. Tai. Grandfather seems ungrateful, but in fact there is nothing he can do. If he keeps his promise, he will destroy the country and society he built. And ruined the whole country."
