Chapter 578: Taoist Tongtian, empress of the palace

Views:

The so-called water law refers to the types of water in the world, geographical location and water quantity patterns. The content comes from a strange book called Shui Jing written by Guo Pu during the Jin Dynasty.

Guo Pu was the most famous alchemist in the Jin Dynasty. Legend has it that he was good at divination and many strange alchemy skills. He was fond of ancient prose and strange calligraphy, and was good at astronomy, calendar calculation, and divination. He was good at prose, and was especially famous for his "Poems on Traveling Immortals". He wrote the water classics with reference to the records of water vein characteristics in geographical essays left by ancient alchemists, as well as his own travels and experiences.

In terms of physical geography, there are thousands of large and small rivers recorded, from the origin of the river to the sea, including the main stream, tributaries, valley width, river bed depth, seasonal changes in water volume and water level, sediment content, glaciation and the path along the river. The undercurrents, waterfalls, rapids, beaches, lakes, etc. have been extensively collected and recorded in detail. There are hundreds of lakes and swamps, springs, wells and other underground water veins, more than 330 undercurrents and 70 waterfalls recorded.

This wonderful book was written more than a thousand years ago. It has been revised and revised by characters in the past dynasties, changes in dynasties, the likes and dislikes of kings and other factors, and it has been passed down to this day. Even so, it can still be called a magnificent and majestic classic book. It "focuses on the dynamic when writing about water" and "focuses on static when writing about mountains". It is "a collection of landscape prose from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a collection of myths and legends, a guide map of places of interest, and interviews with local customs and customs."

In official records, Shui Jing is an official work recording the human geography of the time. In every dynasty, people have made modifications and additions or deletions according to the trend of public opinion at that time and the king's preference, making it an official treatise that remains politically correct. But in Jianghu, it is a masterpiece that contains many practical thaumaturgy, and has been passed down relatively completely. Xuanmen and Baiyuntang both have original collections.

Among the people in the world, the one who has studied this book most thoroughly is undoubtedly the Paizi Sect. In the old days when the Paizi Cult was most prosperous, there was always a saying that there was the Beggar Gang in the north and the Paizi Cult in the south. What it means is that the Paizi Sect has a large number of people, and its strength is comparable to that of the Beggar Gang.

The founder of the Paizi religion was Chen Silong, an alchemist from the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that he was born in Xiangyin and was neither a monk nor a Taoist. He studied water scriptures intensively and developed his own alchemy. He was a chivalrous and righteous man. Because he felt the hardships and precarious life of the row workers, he made a great ambition to manage the Dongting waterway and clear the rocks during his lifetime. , killed the water monster, and taught the rowers to place big drums and oars on the rafts of logs tied with bamboo strips and yellow vines, and beat the drums to encourage them during the rowing to drive away evil spirits, and use the oars to guide the direction. Over time, Become a faction.

There is no leader in the Pao Pao Church, but the Pao Tou manages everything. The so-called Pao Tou is the person who beats the drum and casts spells on the bamboo rafts. Because the life in Pao Pao is precarious, the Pao Pao workers develop a aggressive and aggressive character. The almost blind belief in Pai Tou, this feature gives Pai Tuo a very strong cohesion, and Pai Tuo's thousands of years of history also makes these Pai Tou really the hidden dragons and crouching tigers, inheriting the complete orthodoxy of Shuifa School.

The Xunlong Sect is the one who has the most thorough research on the Water Scriptures and the most proficient in underwater arts in the world, followed by the Paizi Sect. When Wu Yinglong was a boy, he accidentally made friends with an old Pai Tou and learned a little bit about water techniques, so he knew weak water. He was crude and illiterate and didn't know much about Shui Jing and Pai Zi Sect. However, Yuan Quan's great-grandfather was the only surviving Pai Zi Sect octogenarian figure in the contemporary era. Yuan Quan explained the origins of his family's studies and explained Ji Xuefei's doubts.

Wu Yinglong relied on some water magic skills to carry the stone through the water ghost wall and saw the entrance of the cave. But he didn't dare to enter the cave. Over the years, he had been curious about what was there countless times, but when he thought of the legends about the dragon king causing trouble and the water monster eating people, he felt that it was still not worth risking his life.

Li Muye asked: "Have you told your employer about the underwater situation?"

Wu Yinglong said: "This is my ability to eat. How can I show it in front of others until I am about to die?" He added: "It seems that some of you are interested in the underwater Dragon Palace, so you can't kill me. Except for me, none of the fishermen in the thirteen villages on the two banks can get in there through water."

Yuan Quan said: "Your ability to eat is actually nothing special. We don't need you to take us in."

"What are those guys trying to do to catch me?" Wu Yinglong had already disliked this pretty boy. When Yuan Quan was telling Ji Xuefei the origin of the water method, he thought he was a colleague. And he seemed to know more about the things in the water than he, a river dragon. What he fears most now is that he will lose his use value. So when Yuan Quan said this, he immediately panicked and said: "Don't worry, everyone, although I have taken the employer's money, I will not do anything for them. I will pack up my luggage and leave for another country. What's the point?" Isn’t it possible?”

Li Muye said: "You are wrong. I came to capture you. Firstly, I want to know what is under the water. Secondly, I want you to continue working for that group of people. But at the same time, you have to report their movements to me and get things done. Okay, I'll pay off the usurious loan for you, and then I'll give you a wife's money to settle down and carry on the family line, do you understand?"

Wu Yinglong thought that his employer was not someone to be trifled with, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Can I say no?"

Li Muye knew what he was worried about and said: "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, none of that employer and his accomplices will be able to survive. I will do what I say, and I will not break my promise to you. At least you can do something for me." There is still a way to survive, but if you are determined to do things for that group of people, the final result can only be to be killed and silenced! You are also half a person in the world, and you should know the weight of my words. "

Wu Yinglong said: "My hand is injured, so I need to have a reasonable explanation in front of my employer."

Li Muye said: "The ready-made reason is that you encountered a debt collector and cut off one of your fingers, so you need money more urgently."

Wu Yinglong nodded dejectedly and said, "I hope you keep your word." He added, "I have to make an appointment with my employer in a little while. Isn't this going to cost me my life."

Li Muye said: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to protect you secretly."

Li Muye held the old cat in his arms and sat with his legs crossed on a chair by the Yingbin Road square.

Bai Qi came over and reported quietly: "The person who hired Wu Yinglong is a Chinese from Japan named Yi Tongtian. He has extremely high kung fu and is probably an important figure in Xiaoyao Pavilion."

"Yi Tongtian." Li Muye repeated the name, and another old memory was awakened, and said: "I have seen this person with my own eyes. He once wanted to kill your aunt at the auction in Honolulu. ..." Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the scene when I first met Bai Wuxia, and thought of that little girl who was as cute as an elf, lonely, pretty, sensitive, and infinitely dependent on me. I felt uncomfortable in my heart.

It's a pity that the lovely Bai Xinyue will never come back. When he thinks of what the Flawless Witch did to Xiaofen and Diana, Brother Xiaoye doesn't dare to think about her. If she hurt Xiaofen or other women who had interacted with him because of herself, Li Muye would never be able to forgive herself in this life.

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists, and said angrily: "This person first went against my aunt, and now he comes to the country to make trouble. He really thinks that we have no one." Li Muye turned his eyes elsewhere and said: "The background of Xiaoyao Pavilion Not necessarily inferior to Baiyuntang, Fengjian Xiao can escape from Wuxia alive, there must be something special about him. Previously, everyone thought that he had injured a pair of tricks, and his strength was too damaged to continue to serve as the master of Xiaoyao Pavilion, the leader of Guxiang Sect. Wang Ba and Yi Tongtian fought endlessly for the position of Pavilion Master, but in the end, he got the advantage and regained his fortune. This move alone is enough to attract our attention."

"Uncle, what are you looking at?" Bai Qi followed Li Muye's gaze and saw that there were only a group of middle-aged and elderly people dancing in the square. He took a few glances and found nothing special, so he asked, "What's going on over there?"

"There's nothing wrong for the moment." Li Muye waved his hand and said, "Go and do your business. Remind Yuan Quan and Ji Xuefei to be safe. The people in Xiaoyao Pavilion are much more powerful than those bastards from the Protestant Church."

Among the people dancing in the square, an ugly middle-aged woman danced with great joy. According to the information provided by Brother Ah Hui, this woman's name is Zeng Baofeng, the empress who divorced before Zeng Xiguo came in three years ago.

This bitch was demoted to a commoner by Zeng Xiguo before the country was overthrown, but she escaped a prison sentence. When Zeng Xiguo was torturing the Taiping Buddhist Kingdom, apart from enfeoffing ministers, the most important thing he did was to work hard on the three palaces and six courtyards. As soon as he became emperor, he immediately brought a group of women into his house to be concubines. His Majesty the Emperor is not picky either. He has brought in all the ignorant country girls, the undercover prostitutes, and all the pretty ones from ten miles and eighty villages.

Unfortunately, they only managed to gather forty, which was thirty-two short of the seventy-two concubines, and they were all taken away by the Gyeongju Public Security Bureau.

A divine song ended, and the middle-aged and elderly dance lovers were ready to disperse. Li Muye stood up with the old cat in his arms and walked towards Zeng Baofeng.

This bitch had three daughters and a son with Zeng Xiguo. The Buddhist emperor could ignore his wife, but he probably still had to take care of his crown prince and princesses.

Brother Xiao Ye previously wanted to let them mess around with the Taiping Buddha Kingdom, but Chen Binghui raised objections and believed that the situation could not be allowed to deteriorate. His opinion is that you can investigate the situation secretly first, control the other party's movements at any time, and take action immediately if the other party wants to do something inappropriate.

It's difficult to squeeze a boil if it doesn't come out, but you still need to make some preparations before you start squeezing it.

Just halfway through, he saw a familiar figure with a slim figure approaching Zeng Baofeng before him. Brother Xiaoye recognized it at a glance. It was Sister Chen. Immediately realized that targeting Zeng Baofeng was not Chen Binghui's intention.

Li Muye hurriedly turned around, but unexpectedly, the old cat in his arms jumped out of his arms and ran towards the mistress whom he missed day and night. Brother Xiaoye cursed in his heart. They say dogs are loyal ministers and cats are traitorous ministers. Damn it, it is indeed the case. This old cat is a psychic worm. Apart from not being able to speak, it has a lot of inner thoughts than a teenage child. I have taken care of it for so long, but the relationship I have built with Sister Chen after taking care of it for two months is not as good.

When Chen Miao saw Kui Dou, she immediately spotted Li Muye who was turning his back and pretending to be fine. He quickly called out, "Hey, you bastard, where are you going?" He picked up Kui Dou and held him in his arms, very familiar to him. Catching Li Muye like that. Turning to Zeng Baofeng, he said: "Sister, this is the silly son I told you about working out of town before. I specially called him back. You can see how it goes first, and let the two children meet if you think it's appropriate..."
