After the two discussed it properly, they left the Sutra Pavilion and went to the viewing platform of the ancient murals of the Eighteen Immortals.
During the Dharma meeting of Lingyun Temple, Xu Yunchu brought Su Fengnuan to the viewing platform of the Eighteen Immortals. At that time, after climbing to the high platform, they just didn't watch it carefully, but something happened to Lingyun, and the two hurried down from the viewing platform.
There are still monks guarding the viewing platform, but now they are guarded and controlled by the Imperial Forest Army.
The viewing platform is the same as when Su Fengnuan came that time. There are eighteen steps, fastened to the rocks on both sides with iron locks.
Su Fengnuan asked Ye Chang, "You come to the back mountain of Lingyun Temple to worship every year, have you never been to this viewing platform?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "Not interested."
Su Fengnuan lamented that, like her, he was not interested in this kind of landscape, so he didn't explore it after so many years and several visits. She turned her head and glanced at the forest guards standing everywhere. Even if she recovered her martial arts, she couldn't do it with so many eyes. So, she said to Ye Chang, "You take me up there! Your martial arts, bringing someone with you, shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Chang smiled at her, nodded, wrapped her arms around her waist, lifted her lightly, and rose into the air, at a height of three feet, grabbed the rope, then lifted slightly, flipped up, and brought Su Fengnuan up up the high platform.
Su Feng warmly said, "It's the same as when I went to the high platform."
Ye Chang let go of her with a smile.
The viewing platform is very large, with tables and chairs for the Eight Immortals. On the stone wall of the backing mountain, with natural rocks as the background, after artificial carving, a mural of the Eighteen Immortals is made. It is very old, but the Eighteen Arhats have different expressions and are lifelike. The real person sat in front of him, the stone wall was smooth, and it was difficult to see the traces engraved by the years.
Just like what Su Fengnuan saw when he boarded the viewing platform.
She said to Ye Chang, "At the beginning, I only saw the artistry of the Eighteen Immortal Scenery was amazing."
Ye Chang glanced at it and said, "Hundreds of years ago, Master De Ling, the eminent monk who opened the gate of Lingyun Temple, was good at painting. This mural painted with his powerful vajra fingers is indeed a magical skill. uncanny workmanship."
Su Fengnuan walked up, groped and observed along the ancient murals carefully, observed the Eighteen Arhats carefully, and said to Ye Chang, "No wonder the old monk Lingyun didn't dare to let me take a closer look. Although the technique is exquisite and ingenious, it really can't be hidden from me." After finishing the sentence, she said, "However, I don't understand. Since this ancient mural painting of Eighteen Immortal Scenery was created by Master De Ling when the temple was established, , who made such an ingenious mechanism here, and didn’t destroy the painting itself.”
Ye Chang said, "More than 130 years ago, it should have been established jointly by the abbot of the temple and Master Zhanyi!"
Su Fengnuan said, "Master Zhanyi is gifted and talented, and his teacher is Ling Zhu. If he does it, he can indeed do it."
Ye Chang said, "Open the mechanism and have a look."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and stretched out his hand to press the extremely secret mechanism, only to hear a "pop", a door cracked from the stone wall from the nine arhats in the middle, and inside was a stone room with its back against the rocks.
Into the eyes, separated by a layer of black curtains.
Ye Chang stepped forward, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and saw a row of tablets enshrined in the stone room, which were the spiritual tablets of the emperors of the previous dynasties.
From the Taizu who opened the dynasty to the last emperor, everything is missing.
Ye Chang stood with his hands behind his back, watching silently.
Su Fengnuan stood beside Ye Chang, also very silent.
This place was established by Master Zhanyi of Wangdi Mountain, and enshrined in Lingyun Temple, which is full of dragon energy in the Jiulong Mountains. Master Zhanyi is the father of his master, and his master was born of Master Zhanyi and Gaozu's daughter Yingsu. Half of the blood flowed from the descendants of the previous dynasty, and half flowed from the blood of the current royal family.
No wonder his master traveled all over the world and didn't easily set foot in the capital.
And as far as she knows, from the beginning of Taizu's reign to the current emperor, Wangdi Mountain has never broken its close connection with the royal family for more than a hundred years. It can be said that the royal family trusts Wangdi Mountain very much. The coupon symbol will not be passed to Wangdi Mountain.
The Iron Coupon Talisman is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the states, counties and counties of the Southern Qi Dynasty, even the palaces of the imperial city, can move troops smoothly as long as they hold the Iron Coupon Talisman. Such a right is equivalent to the emperor's ninety-five supreme powers, and it is equivalent to the emperor and the person holding the iron coupon talisman sitting in the same country.
At that time, Taizu bestowed the Iron Coupon Talisman to his brother Prince Su, who accompanied him to conquer the north and south. After arriving at the emperor's house, when Princess Yingsu was pregnant with her master, Gaozu passed the Iron Coupon Talisman to the child in the princess's womb, that is, her master. After Gaozu passed away, Princess Yingsu gave birth to his master. Emperor Taizong bestowed the name Yunhuang, and the iron coupon amulet remained in his master's hands until three years ago, when his master was dying, he passed the iron coupon amulet to her.
His master had held the iron coupon talisman for decades, but he had never used it. He traveled all over the world like a crazy Taoist priest.
She thought, if his master wanted to seize the throne of the Liu family and take back the land of Southern Qi, it would be a piece of cake with the Iron Coupon Talisman in his hand.
However, he never did this, but passed the iron coupon talisman to her on his deathbed.
She thought a lot, turned to look at Ye Chang, he was still standing quietly, silent, she asked softly, "We found out about this today, what should we do?"
Ye Chang turned to look at her when he heard the words, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's put this down for now!"
Su Fengnuan sighed, "Yeah, how can such a thing be passed on to the emperor? If the emperor knows, he will probably vomit blood in anger, especially when it is related to Wangdi Mountain, and I am a teacher of Wangdi Mountain, and I still hold iron in my hand. Coupon talisman, now that the emperor trusts me, he even gave me a military talisman. Even if you don’t take your anger out on me, I’m afraid you can’t help it.”
Ye Chang said, "Since your master is a descendant of the previous dynasty, but he died three years ago, in the past three years after his death, there are still enshrined tablets of the emperors of the previous dynasty, your master's half-brother Although brother Lin Ke is alive now, but beside the second prince, it doesn't look like he has a deep relationship with Lingyun Temple. Now Master Lingyun is also dead. The secret he will keep even if he dies, the secret that can pierce the sky , since we speculate that it is related to the current royal family, it is still inappropriate to publicize it before the truth is revealed."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Let's keep sealing this place for now."
Ye Chang nodded.
The two checked for a while, and found nothing but the enshrined tablet, then closed the mechanism and exited the Eighteenth Observation Deck.
Ye Xi got impatient and found the Eighteen Observation Deck. Seeing that the two looked normal, but their brows were frowning, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What did you find out?"
Ye Chang glanced at him, but said nothing.
Su Feng warmly said, "The old monk Lingyun passed away, let's stay in the temple first."
Ye Xi was taken aback, "He passed away?"
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Ye Xi knew that something terrible must have happened if even Lingyun died, otherwise he would rarely see the two with such calm expressions. He nodded, stopped asking, and said to the two, "What about the monks in the temple? They are all in custody now."
Ye Chang said, "Let the Imperial Forest Army guard them. Except for their respective courtyards, they are not allowed to move around at will. Sleep for a few days before we talk about it."
Ye Xi nodded.
Because Ye Chang would come to Lingyun Temple to worship every year, there was a courtyard specially reserved for him in the back mountain, and no outsiders were accepted except for him. So, it was getting late, and Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan, Ye Xi, and Chen Zhiran, who was still asleep, all lived in that courtyard.
After entering the room, Su Fengnuan told Ye Xi about Master Lingyun's death and the secrets hidden in Lingyun Temple.
After Ye Xi heard this, he was amazed, and after a while, he sighed, "The patriarch of Wangdi Mountain is really capable. For a hundred years, he has placed the tablets of previous emperors in this Lingyun Temple in this way, not only under the influence of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. Dragon Qi, still receiving incense."
Su Fengnuan also felt that Master Zhanyi was very capable, especially since he married Princess Yingsu.
Ye Xidao, "Since An Guogong is a descendant of the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, and he is behind the restoration of the previous dynasty's imperial career, then, could it be that the many major cases that happened in Beijing and the conspiracy behind them were all because of the previous dynasty? But why? King Jin and King Xiang are also involved? Those two are descendants of the Liu family, so aren't they two descendants of the Liu family?"
Su Feng said warmly, "Who knows!"
Ye Chang said, "Tomorrow, the three of you and I will start to search the books of the previous dynasty in the Sutra Pavilion, and we must find something."
Ye Xi said with emotion, "I never expected that Wangdi Mountain, which we claim to be born untouched by the world, would be dug out of such a big deep pool."
Su Fengnuan said, "Master didn't say anything when he was dying."
Ye Xi said, "Half of his blood is from the previous dynasty, and half of the current blood. Half of him is inherited from his father, and the other half is inherited from his mother. Both parents are close relatives. As disciples, although we are teachers for one day and fathers for life, but After all, they are not blood relatives."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Ye Chang said to Su Fengnuan, "Go and check Chen Zhiran's back again to see if there is anything missing in the picture drawn by that ****. Or, if there are any subtle observations that are not true, she There should be some unsolved mysteries we want."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Okay, I'll check again."
Ye Xi said, "If it weren't for the fact that she is a little girl, I really wanted to take off her clothes and look at the strange scene on her back. I really don't understand why An Guogong painted that strange scene on her back? Could it be Is she also a descendant of the previous dynasty? If she is, then if she is the daughter of the king of Xiangjun, isn't the king of Xiangjun really a descendant of the previous dynasty?" After finishing speaking, he asked, "Which concubine was born the king of Xiangjun? ?”
