Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 196
"Come on, why are you following me?" Lin Zhuoming leaned against the side of the boat.

"..."

But he bowed his head and said nothing.

I'm afraid it's another protagonist template.

Lin Zhuming shook his head, turned around and left.

Waiting for the night, Lin Zhuoming was sitting on the boat meditating, and Liujia was patrolling around.

"My lord, something is on board."

Lin Zhuming opened his eyes, what Liujia saw was what he saw.

But I saw many dark shadows crawling onto the boat from the bottom of the water, and then went to each cabin.

"It doesn't seem to be a person." After all, it was not in person, and Lin Zhuoming couldn't see any changes in it.

I saw these little black things, and soon smuggled out many bags of salt.

"Steal the salt!"

Lin Zhuming now knows what it is, "salt rat".

Salt mouse originally refers to bats. According to legend, bats were originally just mice running on the ground, but after stealing a lot of salt, they grew wings and became mice that could fly.

Hence the name salt rat.

But in fact, it is just a homonym of "eaves mouse", and bats mostly live under the eaves.

And the salt mouse here refers to people who sell private salt, a name corresponding to official salt.

In addition, if it is official salt, among the salt merchants, there are also salt rats who specialize in selling private salt, just because the official salt has to be paid in silver, and the private salt is all their own.

The rat that used fire to cast silver ingots, the rat that stole the granary, and the rat that stole salt are known as the three great rats of the Manchu dynasty.

I saw it once today.

If you steal salt and sell it, just sell it. Anyway, you don't do your own business.

Lin Zhuming was about to pretend that he didn't see it, but he heard the sound of a bell: "Dingling! Dingling!"

The sound of the bell disturbed the mind, I'm afraid it was used to drive away the corpse.

Many "zombies" jumped out of the boat to fight with these salt mice.

Following Liujia's gaze, these zombies were lifelike, and they were still wearing clothes, but they didn't have much moisture, they looked a little dry, and there were hoarfrost on their bodies.

"Salt Corpse."

Salt can be used to make bacon insurance, and naturally it is also a kind of antiseptic material.

Some of them are heretics and know how to refine "Dharma Salt". Salt Corpse is a kind of walking corpse refined with Dharma salt. Apart from the salty smell of bacon, it is also considered invulnerable.

And there is no need to find any place to raise corpses, and it doesn't suck blood, so it is a relatively cost-effective type of zombie.

These new salt corpses fought with the salt mouse, and then listened to the ringing bell and said: "I am hereby ordered by the God of Salt, Empress Deji..."

"Hehe! Old dog Zheng! The imperial court gave you a job as a ninth-rank sesame official, and you are here to work hard. It is ridiculous."

But I saw a small old man appearing from nowhere: "I heard that you escorted the Bashu Salt Administration to the emperor's birthday outline this time."

"Salt mouse, this matter is completely nonsense, I don't know who you listened to!" Old Dog Zheng came out from the dark, with an ugly expression on his face.

"Hahaha, the dog emperor held a banquet for thousands of elders. Officials from all over the country collected Luo Qizhen, Xiangrui, but I know about yours. The ones you escorted are Shu stone scriptures and Guangzheng stone scriptures."

"Hehe, I don't know what you're talking about."

"The Guangzheng Stone Classic is a treasure of the cultural context of the Shu region. It contains the orthodox inheritance of Confucianism. The Emperor Dog wants to use stones from all over the country to build altars and prolong his life. Do you think people don't know it?"

The salt mouse chuckled: "Old dog Zheng, what are you hiding? Hand over the stone scriptures, and I won't trouble you."

"Guangzheng Stone Classics" is also known as "Shu Stone Classics" or "Shu Carved Thirteen Classics".

It was created and engraved in the early years of Guangzheng in Houshu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was initiated and presided over by Wu Zhaoyi, the prime minister of Later Shu. It is the earliest complete collection of annotations on the Confucian "Thirteen Classics".

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, most of the country was in chaos. Only Shu was relatively peaceful, and a large number of gentry fled to Shu, so Shu was prosperous.

Fearing that the scriptures and classics of the Han family would be tampered with by foreigners, the prime minister at that time presided over the engraving of scriptures.

The thirteen classics were engraved before and after, which are Xiaojing, Analects, Erya, Maoshi, Book of Rites, Yili, Zhouyi, Shangshu, Zhouli, Zuozhuan, Gongyangzhuan, Zhuliangzhuan, Mencius.

During this period, it took a hundred years, among which ten scriptures were engraved in Shumeng, and three in Song Dynasty.

The main text of the Thirteen Classics has more than 64 characters.

There are more annotations several times the text.

Thousands of steles are like a forest, attracting the fascination of scholars all over the world.

Moreover, during Guangzheng Shijing's stay in Shu, a large number of outstanding literati emerged in Shu, which shows his contribution to enlightenment.

It is a pity that at the end of the Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by artillery fire. As for the present, there may only be a few rubbings handed down to the world.

Unexpectedly, the chief envoy of the Bashu Salt Administration collected the Guangzheng Stone Scriptures and wanted to present them to the emperor.

This treasure was originally intended to prevent the Han family from perishing after the invasion of foreign races. Unexpectedly, after the Manchu Dynasty entered the customs, this kind of Han family inheritance would even flow into the hands of foreign races.

Lin Zhuming felt a little uncomfortable.

And I heard from him that this is the emperor's banquet for thousands of old people, so he searched for famous mountains and rivers from all over the country, or strange stones containing local luck to cast altars, then it was just to intercept the luck of the mountains and rivers of the Han family and use it to stabilize his full Is it the country of the dynasty?

I'm afraid that the three mountains and five mountains, the famous mountains of Buddhism and Taoism, and the famous places of interest in various places will remove the spirit stones and replace them with objects, with the intention of eternally suppressing the spirit of the Han family, so that the slaves will not be able to resist.

The sinister intentions really make people furious.

Liujia continued to listen, and saw two waves of people fighting.

"My lord, do we want to help?" Xu Biao was eager to try. "Is this stone scripture the kind of secret book that will cause a bloodbath in the martial arts as soon as it appears? Let's take it to see?"

It seems that there is no culture.

"The Stone Scripture itself is just an ordinary stone, but its significance is extraordinary, and it can be regarded as a national treasure." Lin Zhuming said: "It should be regarded as a national treasure, but it is already incomplete."

"Since it is incomplete, how did these two waves of people beat them to death?"

Lin Zhuming did not explain, and observed secretly again.

The salt corpse manipulator named Zheng Laogou also has heresy spells. There is a pot of colorful magic salt, which is like corpse powder, sprinkled on the flesh and blood, and immediately begins to rot.

As for the salt rat, he has trained many non-human creatures, which look like ghosts and not demons, partly like a beaver, partly like a child, weird in appearance, and extremely fast.

At the same time, it also has some side-door spells, which don't seem to be the right way.

"I just wanted to go to Peiping by boat, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Lin Zhuming thought it was a bit too coincidental.

In particular, the two groups fought more and more towards Lin Zhuoming, forcing Lin Zhuming to make early plans.

"My lord." Xu Biao was already eager to try.

"Go and fix those salt corpses and help him out. As for showing up, besides, the composition of these two groups is quite complicated, so we don't want to get involved."

"okay!"
