Chapter 1170
At dusk.
Near the capital, there was a sparsely populated village with only a few families living in it, and the rest of the houses had been abandoned as soon as possible. Su Wu and others gathered in an abandoned house here.
The congregation in Vacuum Lianxiang was broken into pieces and had already dispersed into various places in Zhili Province.
Only Su Wu was left, leading Qingmiao and Xiuxiu, as well as the two Taoist priests Shao Shoushan and Su Jue, their respective disciples, and Li Heihu to hide in the current village.
“I have a lot of contacts in Zhili Province and various places in the capital, and I have dealt with people from all religions and professions.
We have just collected some information from them - in the Forbidden City, the eunuchs at the 'sticky pole' have been sent out to the Taihang Mountains to collect information.
Kangxi has been in poor health since he failed to seize the 'Xuanyuan Jade Coffin'.
He most likely sacrificed the former 'Crown Prince' as blood food in some way to replenish himself - but even so, his injuries seem to have never healed. In recent years, he has rarely been seen visiting certain places. rumor.
But my friends in the capital observe the movements in the palace, and they feel that Kangxi may be unable to restrain himself recently and go out of the palace for a tour - this may be related to what we are doing in the Taihang Mountains..."
The smell of decay floats in the air inside the dilapidated house.
Shao Shoushan sat on a newly repaired stool and spoke to Su Wu, who was sitting bare-chested and leaning on the back of the chair opposite, about the current situation.
Su Wu was not wearing any clothes on his upper body, and the trousers on his lower body were in tatters.
At this time, Xiu Xiu, who had grown a lot taller and looked like a pretty girl, had cleaned the table against the wall, squatted on the table with the oil lamp in her hand, and pointed towards the oil lamp that had run out of oil - inside the oil lamp , the moon-white firelight slowly rose, illuminating the currently dark space.
Qing Miao sat on the earthen kang that had been padded and almost repaired. In her arms lay a piece of clothing stained with red gold and blood. She was threading and sewing under the lamp, mending the tattered cloth.
Li Hu first fled with the Lianxiang congregation, and after the court's search relaxed, he would come to join Su Wu and others.
Listening to the rustling sounds in his ears and Shao Shoushan's slightly lowered voice, Su Wu felt a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time. His eyes shone brightly in this slightly dim environment, and he said to Shao Shoushan. : "Where did the theory that the crown prince was sacrificed as a blood meal by Kangxi first come from? Do fellow Taoists know the inside story?"
Shao Shoushan nodded and said with a smile: "I do know a lot about the inside story of this matter.
The theory that Kangxi killed the crown prince was first proposed by the fortune teller Zhang, who used the situation of "dragon swallowing the dragon" to imply that Kangxi killed his own crown prince.
This ‘fortune teller Zhang’ is a friend of mine in the capital.
He is often called "Blind Zhang" and calls himself "Jiu Liu Sanren". He is a leading figure promoted by the "Zhongjiu Liu". Disputes over the nine professions of painting, hermit, monk, Taoist, nun, chess player, doctor, and child immortal, as well as various external exchanges.
After the death of the crown prince, he made a divination and indeed calculated the fate of 'dragon swallowing dragon'.
However, he did not spread the matter to the public, but his disciples leaked it through lax remarks, which eventually caused an uproar.
The ninth-rate people in the capital suffered many casualties as a result, and basically fled to all parts of the world.
Even ‘Old Blind Man Zhang’ was unable to protect himself and fled from the capital. I have not yet been in contact with him and do not know his whereabouts. "
"This Ninth Dispatcher is quite interesting." Su Wu nodded, "If the facts are really as he predicted, his fortune-telling skills are indeed amazing. In this case, I would also like to ask him for help. I’ll calculate a few hexagrams.”
"Old blind man Zhang's fortune-telling and divination are indeed incredible and unpredictable."
Shao Shoushan shook his head and said, "His predictions are often called 'twenty-nine ineffective', which means that in January 30th, his predictions were ineffective for twenty-nine days.
But there must be one day in between, when everything will be right and there will be no mistakes or omissions. "
"Twenty-nine doesn't work..." Su Wu fell silent for a moment.
"The day when the dragon swallows the dragon is calculated, it should be the most accurate fortune-telling day for old blind man Zhang that month." Shao Shoushan thought, "If his calculation is not accurate, the people in the palace will just think that he is talking nonsense and will spread the news If the person who spreads the rumor catches him, he will be beaten to death.
But Kangxi's reaction was so great that he almost uprooted all the nine professions in the capital. Even now, none of the nine professions in the capital have recovered their strength. This shows that Mr. Zhang, the blind man, may have really made the right calculation..."
Su Wu nodded.
When Kangxi escaped from the 'Xuanyuan Tomb', a pair of his arms were torn off by him. In the process of fighting for his life, his vitality was greatly damaged.
Under such circumstances, Kangxi indeed had the need to "repair himself."
It is actually very possible for it to use its son as blood food and sacrifice it to the ‘Heavenly Mother’ in exchange for its own compensation.
And this sacrificed son may also need to have the "imperial appearance" in order to meet the requirements of the "Heavenly Mother" - in this case, the only one who is closest to the emperor's appearance is the Crown Prince Yinreng.
"After you accommodated the 'Wan Mu Gui' in your body, you were given the title of 'Zhenren Du'e' by Kangxi.
Didn't you see him when Kangxi gave him the title? "Su Wu asked Shao Shoushan again.
Shao Shoushan shook his head: "It's just that a decree was sent to the Tianwang Temple in Jingshi Mountain. I have never seen Kangxi with my own eyes."
"You also have a name with Kangxi.
The "Ten Thousand Eyes of Creepy" is not a trivial matter. If you tolerate such a serious treachery, Kangxi must have been deeply impressed by you, and he may be very afraid of you. He can't tell. In the past, strange phenomena often appeared in the Taihang Mountains, and you and your Taoist companions appeared together in the Taihang Mountains again - maybe in a few days, a decree will be sent to the Temple of the Heavenly King, and you will go to the capital to meet the emperor.
Kangxi may not be aware of the appearance of the 'Red Knight' in the Taihang Mountains.
The Da Qin Sect's plot behind such a treacherous plot is now clearly revealed.
The plot of the Da Qin Sect may be exactly contrary to what Kangxi himself pursued.
At that time, you must remind the Manchu Emperor more and order him to ban the "Da Qin Sect" from spreading in the world - although he is a fake person, his spirit still belongs to the "real person", and he is the emperor of the present day. If the official government shows a clear rejection of the Da Qin Sect, the development of the Da Qin Sect will definitely be hindered. "
"Puppet people have unpredictable and sinister thoughts. Although these 'pure demons' can only be regarded as 'real people' wearing pseudo-human skins, from the time they began to practice the pseudo-human method and transformed into pseudo-human beings, they have become aware that they are different from mortals." Not in the same row...
Senior brother also wants to clarify our interests with these pure monsters, show them with emotion, and move them with reason... I think they will not only not appreciate it, but will secretly stumble us. These pure monsters are the most untrustworthy! "
A crisp voice came from behind Su Wu.
Su Wu turned around and saw Xiuxiu, whose figure was as hazy as the moonlight, frowning and speaking warily.
This was the first time he heard Xiu Xiu speak, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I have had a lot of dealings with the Manchu clan, and I even read the exercises practiced by those puppets - those Eight Banners puppets, In fact, in the final analysis, it is just the qualifications for the princes and clans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to practice on the path of pseudo-humanity. They have distinct classes within them. Since they are divided into classes, they cannot be monolithic.
The pseudo-people are insidious and terrifying, and I have learned something about it. I cannot trust them or cooperate with them. Now I just remind them aloud, hoping that they will react.
They can react best to the actions of the Great Qin Sect.
Even if there is no response, we have lost nothing.
Junior sister Xiuxiu, just rest assured. "
Li Xiuxiu pursed her lips, smiled, and said a little sheepishly: "It's good if senior brother understands."
"Nowadays in the Lianxiang Association, Xiuxiu has the final say on all major matters. Junior Brother Hu only leads people to do things." Li Qingmiao, who was mending Su Wu's clothes, raised his head at this time, looked at Li Xiuxiu and Su Wu with a smile, and asked Su Wu said.
Su Wu nodded: "Xuan Zhao, the old Taoist, once said that Xiu Xiu has great fortune.
Now it seems that what Xuan Zhaolao said is true. "
"oops!"
Xiu Xiu, who already looked like a full-grown girl, was even more embarrassed. She snuggled next to Li Qingmiao and didn't dare to look up.
Su Wu turned around with a smile and looked at Taoist Shao: "Kangxi must be wary of you. There is no guarantee that he will not be unfavorable to you. When you come to Beijing to have an audience, please pass on the news to me first.
I will also go to the capital secretly at that time.
Once something dangerous happens, I can take care of you and fellow Taoist Su Jue. "
"Okay." Shao Shoushan responded.
"You can lead your disciples away from here later. Don't let anyone discover that you and I have been in contact. If Kangxi asks you about my situation, you only need to tell him that I am trying to be alone. The establishment of the temple system attracted the 'Three Purity Projections'... After that, you and your Taoist companions fled from the mountains. You don't know what my ending will be, so let him guess on his own."
Shao Shoushan agreed repeatedly.
He stood up, looked at Su Wu, hesitated to speak, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but said: "Su Jue and I fell into a coma and have no memory of everything that happened after the three pure projections came down.
I would like to take the liberty to ask Brother Dao now——
Has the ‘Back Yin Temple System’ won all the glory? "
Su Wu nodded and said nothing.
"Very good!"
Shao Shoushan looked excited and asked Su Wu: "Where are you going to open a dojo, Brother Taoist? When are you going to teach?"
"I now have five preparatory disciples. After everything is almost settled, I will choose a place to retreat, open a dojo, and teach others." Su Wu said seriously.
"It's the five waiting outside..." Shao Shoushan said hesitantly.
"yes.
They came from a bad background, but now they have changed. For them, what they experienced in the past was just a test in the world of mortals. "
"That's fine..."
Shao Shoushan nodded, and finally said nothing more. He turned to Su Wu and said, "In Jingshi Mountain, there is also an old friend of yours - Miss Xiaohe. She is practicing in seclusion this time. Su Jue said that she might wake up." Jue Suhui...
Also, do you want to meet that boy with the ‘Xuanyuan bloodline’? "
