God and mystery

Chapter 407
Emperor Wanli thought about it: "What if he pretends to defect? ​​Is there such a possibility? Moreover, Tokugawa Ieyasu claims to be an internal agent, and he wants to borrow the power of our country in words. I am afraid that once he accepts it, he will fall into his trap. In the future, I will borrow soldiers and luck for him, just to make a wedding dress."

"Besides, I also learned from the battle reports of the Korean battlefield that when Tokugawa Ieyasu was stationed in Ulsan City, it was said that he did not retreat in a deadly battle, and only left after being seriously injured. After such a person returned to his home country, the Japanese Guanbai did not liquidate him. , maybe he will be reused again, what reason does he have for our country?"

"The matter of Kobayakawa's family, I have heard of Kobayakawa Hideaki's name, but it is just a stigma due to rebellion. Maybe Kobayakawa's family came here to serve as a response in our country, and in turn wash their reputation in Japan. shame."

The elders of Sange looked at each other, disagreeing with Emperor Wanli's opinions, and when discussing issues, there are usually not four people, so a fifth person was required to make a decision. All four turned their faces to Zhang Tianshi, who thought for a while and said:

"The fact that Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to respond internally may have something to do with my senior brother."

"Oh? He didn't seem to appear in the report of the Battle of Ulsan. It seems that he was in a decisive battle with another Japanese Buddhist. The report said that he killed a person named 'Eight Hundred Bikuni'. I don't know about this person. Understood." Emperor Wanli asked doubtfully.

"It's because it didn't appear that it matters." Zhang Tianshi smiled. "As for the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni, I know that he is also a legendary Buddhist nun in Japan. His cultivation level should be very high, but it seems that he was killed by my senior brother very easily."

"In that case, use the communication talisman to ask, I'm afraid I can't find him."

Emperor Wanli frowned. It was very convenient to communicate after having the communication talisman, which also showed the danger of this thing. The sound transmission with one talisman did not even require any communication medium.

However, there are also flaws, just like now, you can’t find anyone when you look for Ji Xiang, because Ji Xiang doesn’t have a messenger talisman on him, so you can only inform the people around him. , where Ji Xiang will appear, and who to contact, who knows.

"It should be possible to find it. His Majesty's recall order was sent to all parts of North Korea. Those monks should have known about it, and they will return soon. My grandson should be in the same place as him."

Zhang Tianshi said that his little grandson and Ji Xiang should stay together. The last time the order was passed, his little grandson should start looking for Ji Xiang. If Ji Xiang came back directly without saying hello to those people, then he should also return. Shuntian once, so I'm not afraid of people who can't find him.

Emperor Wanli asked Tian Yi to make contact, and at the same time looked at Matteo Ricci:

"Bishop Li, this time, the Kobayakawa family and others led by Father Ba have to make a trip to deal with this matter."

Emperor Wanli thought for a while, and thought that he still agreed with this group of people to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but they would be guarded by soldiers and horses in a short period of time. As for Ba Fanji, they would be handed over to Ricci. Just stay in the church on the other side of Dongyue Temple, don't go anywhere.

Of course, what Emperor Wanli said was "stay in the Catholic Church and wait for the reward".

It's just this waiting, but I don't know when it will be!

On the other side, Tian Yi had already communicated with the North Korean side with the communication talisman, and followed closely to Emperor Wanli. After hearing this, Emperor Wanli showed joy and nodded frequently, indicating that he knew, and followed closely:
"Go, Xuanfeng Menglong, Liu Mengyin and Zhang Yaofang come to see us."

Tian Yi left, and Matteo Ricci also took the order to leave in a hurry. When he went out, there were already people waiting in front of the door to act with him. Not long after, two scholars and an envoy arrived at the cabinet. Emperor Wanli said:

"The Korean War is over. I am going to confer a group of fallen generals as new gods. The three of you will write biographies for these people, or books of gods and monsters. The sooner you write, the better. After you finish writing, send it to the printing factory for further review." It was printed in large quantities and distributed to Shuntian and the nearby big cities, and distributed to post stations in various places to the people."

"The details, after the matter here is dealt with, I will give you detailed requirements, and you all go back and prepare. First, conceive some ideas in your heart."

All three of them took orders, but their minds were different.

Zhang Yaofang's mind is the purest, he just thought that he was brought to Shuntian by that little fairy before, saying that he wanted to find some pen pals, but he didn't expect one of them to be the emperor, which frightened him a lot, but he was able to do it in one step, It seems to be a good way to become the scribe next to the emperor.

If you fail the imperial examination and go straight to the back door, isn't that a pity?
It’s just that I haven’t had my own job for a long time. That Liu Mengyin ghostwriter for the emperor, and that Feng Menglong spends every day in the scripture hall, but he is idle, grinding or entertaining himself with the other two, just like a worthless follower. , this time when I finally got to show my talents, although I also collaborated in writing a book, I can still work for the emperor, and I am one of the nominated ones, which is enough to make my face look good.

When writing a book, put some private goods in it, if it is appreciated, won't it soar into the sky?
What Zhang Yaofang was thinking about was how to do a good job for the emperor, seek an official career for himself, and think about getting ahead, but at this moment, the aura of grandeur that was already weak in him dissipated a little.

This point was seen by Zhang Tianshi.

After the three left, Emperor Wanli said with a smile to Zhang Tianshi: "Zhen Beiji really got in touch. Not only was Tokugawa Ieyasu instigated by him, but he also revealed that Mori Terumoto and Kuroda Nagamasa had rebellions. It is not clear between them, Tokugawa is alone, and the latter two belong to the same faction, which is also very good, if there is only one internal response, I am afraid that I will be led by the nose in the future."

"Not only that, Changbai Mountain actually has a magical technique that can fabricate gods!"

Emperor Wanli took a few deep breaths: "Of course, the conditions are relatively harsh. Here, I am going to try this method first. Teaching the three people to write books is just to make Haoran righteous, and combine the wishes and incense of the people to complete the fabrication of gods. It's just one step."

"This kind of ability seems to be about the same as that of the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection"? Or even more so?"

After Zhang Tianshi finished listening, he was completely surprised at the need for such a spell.

"There is such a method in the world to fabricate gods? This is not an easy thing to do. There is no country in Changbai Mountain, how to fabricate gods?"

Emperor Wanli said that he would be a fool first, Zhang Tianshi did not ask, but gave a conclusion on the level of the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" and the skill of fabricating the gods just now, he just laughed and shook his head:

"Your Majesty is wrong. It should be that the ability of "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" is stronger than this method of fabricating gods!"

"No matter how many steps there are in the method of fabricating the gods, it is not an easy task from the point of view that it requires the wishes of all people. Although the gods are powerful, the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection can continue to create monsters just by relying on chaotic wishes. , that is to say, as long as the human heart still exists, the monsters in the books will never die."

"And now, the abilities of the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" are only inferred from the information obtained on the battlefield. Even my senior brother has not obtained this divine book, and it can be guarded by the Japanese desperately." Things, how can it be at the same level as Changbai Mountain's spells?"

"After all, it is a magic technique of the Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Wanli nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Then you only have three people, what do you think?"

"I see that you look different."

Zhang Tianshi shook his head again and said: "Zhang Yaofang is all about seeking fame and fame, her grandeur has gradually declined, and she is about to be the same as the three elders."

As soon as this remark came out, San Ge's elders immediately looked ashamed, but they didn't know how the aura of awe-inspiring appeared, they just shook their heads and sighed very puzzled: "Could it be that reading the books of sages can't read the aura of awe-inspiring?"

"That's not true. A few decades ago, Tang Shunzhi and Wang Yangming also read the books of sages and sages. Take it to your heart."

Zhang Tianshi laughed teasingly, and then commented:

"Although the other two, Feng Menglong and Liu Mengyin, agreed to His Majesty's request without hesitation, the aura of grandeur on their bodies has not dissipated and is still strong, which reflects from the side what they are thinking, as well as their own The realm of Confucianism and Taoism reached."

"This Liu Mengyin is a North Korean official. Although he is now beside the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because the old man Lei Xuan's incident cast a heavy shadow on him, he stays in the Forbidden City now more for the sake of safety. Not trying to make a name for yourself.”

"But Feng Menglong is even more different from this Liu Mengyin. After all, this guy has experienced more, and he is very interested in the affairs of gods and ghosts. Instead, he is not interested in being an official. He has already found his own Confucianism and Taoism. It will definitely be great in the future Do something."

"So, it's not that you can't understand the truth or awe-inspiring spirit when you read the books of sages and sages. It's because you haven't stepped out of your own Confucianism and Taoism. For the word awe-inspiring, I'm afraid it's not a simple word in the book. You can understand it by reading it of."

Emperor Wanli also shook his head at this time: "Let's take a look at the results of the book written by the three of them."

In the land of North Korea, everyone overhauled received the transfer order and set foot on the way back to Beijing one after another, but Ji Xiang was once again out of touch with the main force because he had something to do.

In today's North Korean affairs, there is the demon god Dahuangluo sitting in the town. Once there is something to do, he can communicate with sacrifices.

Ji Xiang pressed down his cloud head and wandered on the land of Liaodong. After about two days, Ji Xiang looked very strange.

"What's going on here, let alone the White Lotus Sect, there are no folk religions?"

Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, and the population is not too large. The White Lotus Sect aims at those places with a lot of people to preach. Of course, those places either have food or money, but Liaodong has neither money nor food. The power of the White Lotus Sect is in the This place is not too big, but there are also some folk religions here, and there are also two or three big cats and kittens, but now these religions are gone.

It's like it just evaporated out of thin air.

Ji Xiang came to a dilapidated temple with the words "Golden Chan Dajiao" hanging on the temple door, and a strong smell of white lotus came to his face, but the temple had been abandoned for a long time, and there was nothing left.

With a wave of hand, there was a strong wind, and piles of headless skeletons rolled out from under the ruined walls.

The heads are taken without the need for corpses. Considering that the White Lotus Sect is not an army, but a powerful cult organization, it must be a more evil cult that can destroy them and then snatch the heads of their followers. Shamans have the custom of using human heads as utensils.

However, the heads of the members of the White Lotus Sect took the heads of these miscellaneous soldiers with their skills, so could they add more enchantments?
"The land of the mountain god, come out and see."

Ji Xiang used the supernatural power of restraining the gods, white smoke fell into the ground, and a thin weasel was caught after a while, Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment:
"Yo? Master Huang?"

Huang Pizi raised his head, with a blank expression on his face, and bowed to Ji Xiang, expressing that he was not a master, that would be too flattering of himself.

The land temple also belongs to the gods of the people. Only the land gods in specific places belong to the gods, just like city gods. The city gods in Shuntian Prefecture have the title of gods, and they are not at the same level as the city gods in your local county.

Huang Pizi told Ji Xiang that the people in this place had been killed for more than a year. Back then, the Golden Chan Sect was quite powerful here. There was a cicada demon who had practiced for 500 years to give them a platform, but the cicada The demon was later killed by a crazy man with a numb child. It was not the lunatic who did it, but the child.

"He came from Changbai Mountain. The crazy man didn't know the name. He only heard him calling the kid 'God Kui'."

"There was also a big incident before Changbai Mountain. It is said that the commander of the Jianzhou Guard was killed, and then the city he guarded was breached by one person, killing many of his heirs. I look like this lunatic .”

Huang Pizi knew everything about the land, and even described the image of that person vividly, but Ji Xiang frowned more and more as he listened to it. He had never heard of the name Shenkui.

Could it be that the immortals who fell from the mountains and rivers in the mountains did not succeed?Which Heavenly Palace sent it down?What is the purpose?
Just to kill the White Lotus Sect?Can't it?

Hearing Ji Xiang's question, Huang Pizi shook his head and said, "No, that Shenkui just killed them and didn't cut off their heads."

"Three months later, when it was about to rot, it was chopped off by a monk from Liaodong and taken away. It looked like a Tatar."

Huang Pizi said it in a straight line, but Ji Xiang was surprised: "You recognize it quite clearly."

"That's natural. Those who can make a living outside Shanhaiguan, let alone human beings, even gods have to have some eyesight. The people from Changbai Mountain are from their own family. If they see me, they don't dare to do anything, and they will take a detour. Not to mention the people who are here, they will not do things here, but the Tatars are different. They tear down the temple when they see it, and knock off their heads when they see the statue. You say they are all shamans. Changbai Mountain and the Tatars Tartar is different!"
