The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 144 Calculation
The tripod comes out, the rain falls, and the water arrives.

Lu Banjiao did not disgrace its mission and accomplished such a great event, which is considered a merit.

Liu Zhiyuan, King of the Later Han Dynasty, was also overjoyed when he heard about this incident. He quickly summoned Gongshuqi and asked him how a bronze tripod could change the sky and make it rain heavily.

Gongshuqi said that this tripod is the tripod of heaven, one of the nine tripods used by Dayu to control the floods, and the town of Jiuzhou to calm the floods.

Such a god of water town cauldron is buried underground in the Chenqiao area, and it will naturally lead to drought.

Liu Zhiyuan was even more delighted when he heard the words. This is an ancient artifact. Doesn't it mean God's will for him to get it?Spreading it out will definitely inspire the army.

However, Gongshuqi told Liu Zhiyuan that although this tripod was a divine weapon, thousands of undead had accumulated in it for so many years, and it must not be reborn, and he had already sunk it into the Yellow River.

Liu Zhiyuan sighed and had to give up.

However, in fact, Gongshuqi did not sink the tripod into the Yellow River, but sent it to Maoshan overnight.

Using the tripod as a stepping stone, Gongshuqi successfully entered Maoshan and learned the true method of Maoshan.

Later, he became a master of Taoism and joined the tent of Zen Master Qingchen of Baima Temple. It took only one year for him to achieve great success in Buddhism, and he achieved the real accommodation of the two religions.

After living in seclusion for several years, the day when Gong Shuqi came out again was when he planned Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

After listening to the story Zhu Laoba told, everything became clear.

That bronze tripod must be an extremely important artifact to Maoshan, and Gongshuqi used it to make a deal with Maoshan.

And Gongshuqi obviously started the layout ten years before Zhao Kuangyin became king, and he actually led people to dig the Dragon Well!
He not only dug the Dragon Well in Chenqiaoyi, but even built complex projects underneath, one of which is the complicated river.

What on earth is Gongshuqi doing all this for?
Really want to fight against that cursed thing?Still want to find out the truth behind it?

While I was thinking, Zhu Laoba's voice sounded: "Boy, I have told you so much, do you understand what's going on?"

I nodded, and said with lingering fear: "I understand. The reason why Lu Banjiao was able to design Song Taizu, and even later the Song Dynasty royal family failed to investigate this matter with all the power of Taoism, was because Maoshan cooperated with Lubanjiao. Although Maoshan Its prestige is not as good as that of Longhu Mountain, but in fact, its magic technique is number one in the Taoist sect, and its congregation is spread all over the place. With them as cover, it is no wonder that the Luban Sect can stay in the Taoist sect without falling."

Zhu Laoba's eyes lit up, he looked at me and said: "Hey! The old man really didn't miss it, you kid is interesting, you can see it deeply!"

I followed his words and flattered me and said, "It's old man, you have explained thoroughly, but I don't understand one thing. The Maoshan sect is the orthodox Taoist sect, how could they cooperate with Gongshuqi just because of a bronze cauldron? With such a big risk, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?"

Zhu Laoba smiled ghostly, and said: "If the thing they cooperated with really comes to fruition, what's the matter if it's really despised by the Taoist sect? Besides, if it really happened, who would dare to question the crime? I'm afraid kneeling and licking It's too late!"

I was stunned, what exactly is the cooperation between Maoshan and Lu Banjiao?
But no matter what kind of cooperation they have, designing the founding dragon Zhao Kuangyin must be one of them.

My heart rose to my throat, and I hurriedly asked Zhu Laoba: "Could it be a cooperation that can change the Taoism in the world? It shouldn't be, even if there is no cooperation, Maoshan is also the number one school in the world!"

Mr. Zhu gave me a blank look, and snorted softly, "Don't talk to me, you boy. I only know a little bit about their cooperation. Even if I know the details, I can't tell you. With your current skills If you know this secret, I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died!”

Zhu Laoba is not threatening me. This matter involves a lot. The more you know, the closer you will be to death. This may be the reason why Grandpa didn't tell me too much.

I suppressed the curiosity in my heart and continued: "I won't ask more about their cooperation, so can the old man tell me that they obviously cooperated, why are they fighting each other here now?"

Zhu Laoba said: "There is no permanent banquet in the world. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Mao Shan relied on his strength as the number one Taoist sect, thinking that he could handle Lu Banjiao. In the end, he found that he was actually a pawn. Being used by those muddy legs taught by Luban, can you not become angry?"

"Maoshan has made great efforts, but all the benefits have been taken by Lu Ban. Who wouldn't be mad? Maoshan also has to point the face of the famous family, and he can only eat Coptis chinensis as a dumb man, and dare not make this matter public. Otherwise, it’s not just the five sons of Maoshan who come down to Longjing Village!”

Speaking of this, Zhu Laoba flashed a sincere admiration on his face, and said: "I really admire that Gongshuqi and Lu Banjiao. A group of masons and bricklayers who can't get on the stage borrow the sky and the earth, dare to plot against the real dragon emperor, dare to offend Maoshan , I really don't know what kind of shocking situation they are planning. I can't see through it, I can't see it through!"
