The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 143 Giant Cauldron
Zhu Laoba said that Maoshan Taoist priests climbed into Longjing Village from the smelly ditch, and the Taoist temple was built for them by traitors in Luban's sect.

After listening to it, I suddenly became enlightened.

All the mysteries are easily solved. If the guess is correct, there are complex rivers under the Dragon Well, covering a wide area, and the scale is even far larger than the original Chenqiaoyi on the ground.

The layout of this underground river channel must have been established by the ancients a long time ago, and it must have been before the Song Dynasty, and it may even have been built by Lu Banmen disciples of a certain dynasty.

Lubanmen's skills are already outstanding, and they have also relied on them to repair the tombs of the emperors, so they are fully capable of building such a mysterious river project underground.

It may be precisely because of the existence of such an underground channel that Longjing Village has not been submerged when the Yellow River diverted several times in history. It may be that this underground channel has successfully diverted the majestic Yellow River water.

Thinking of this, I have to admire Lu Ban's ingenious workmanship again. It really has the ability to move mountains and fill seas.

The Maoshan faction probably dug a tunnel quite far from Longjing Village, connected the underground river, and successfully entered Longjing Village along the river.

In addition, the traitors in Longjing Village cooperated with each other to successfully build the Taoist temple, and the five Maoshan sons were also hidden in this Taoist temple, so they were so unaware.

But what they didn't know was that Zhu Laoba, the treasurer, had sneaked into Longjing Village after Maoshan Wuzi's ass.

In this way, Zhu Lao Ba also has the ability to reach the heavens. It seems that the few people who entered the Kunlun Imperial Mausoleum back then were not ordinary people.

After thinking through all this, I felt much more relaxed. With these clues, the mystery of the Taoist temple can be solved, and it is no problem to win the post of coffin bearer.

But at the same time, a series of question marks rose in my heart.

What is the relationship between Maoshan and Luban Sect?Why are they undercover for each other?

The Luban religion built a ghost city to worship the things in the well, and Maoshan established a Taoist temple to destroy the city. Which one is right and which is evil?

And Zhu Laoba told me so much, what is his intention?I can't believe that he is really an old naughty boy with such a strong desire to share.

Zhu Laoba seemed to see through my thoughts. He smiled like an old fox and said, "Boy, are you completely confused? I don't know who is the right side?"

I nodded honestly, and he said again: "There is no such thing as bullshit justice. They have different positions. Naturally, they all think that they are the right side. It's just a conflict of interests. Young people, don't think too much about Taoism." Good, the dragon may just want to survive, and the dragon slayer may end up becoming a dragon."

Such philosophical words always felt different when they came out of his old and unprincipled mouth.

Soon Zhu Laoba told me another story, and after listening to it, I finally sorted out the relationship here.

Things still have to start with the Luban Sect. Carpenters had a very low status in ancient times, but the core of the Luban Sect is actually different. They have always been close to the royal family. He has mastered many royal secrets.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, at that time, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had not yet ascended the throne, the world was in turmoil, all the heroes from all walks of life became kings, wars broke out everywhere, and the people were in dire straits.

The so-called heroes come out of troubled times. Those kings who ruled in separate regimes think that they will be the real dragon emperor and have the opportunity to command the world.

And to really win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is indispensable to obey the will of God and win the hearts of the people, so even in troubled times, those separatist kings want to win the support of the people and make some political achievements.

Liu Zhiyuan, King of the Later Han Dynasty, was one of them, and the Kaifeng area was in his territory at that time.

At that time, there was a severe drought in Kaifeng, the harvest was bleak, and the people's hearts were lost. Whether it was to appease the people or to supply food and grass, a heavy rain was urgently needed.

In the troubled times, Taoist sects cultivated behind closed doors and did not care about temple affairs. In the end, Liu Zhiyuan, king of the later Han Dynasty, asked Lu Banjiao for help.

And it was Gong Shuqi who was in charge of this operation of praying for rain. He was still a young man at that time and had not yet mastered the Luban religion, but his Luban skills were already miraculous.

He didn't pray to the sky for rain by means of spells, but dug a well in the area of ​​Chenqiao, and led hundreds of people taught by Lu Ban to repair it for a whole year.

Just when others thought Lu Ban taught that these people died in the well, a violent metal crash burst out of the well and soared into the sky.

This was the sound of a tripod, and soon Lu Ban taught everyone to lift out a huge bronze tripod from the well.

As soon as this tripod came out, it was as powerful as the world.

With the sound of the tripod, the situation changes.

The sky and the earth turned pale, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and soon a violent storm actually fell.
