C14 12 Taking Pictures of the Appendix Singing and Singing and the Tang Dynasty Rising and Falling
As soon as the eight of them returned to the gambling house, Ye Keying ran up to Chen Wanniang without waiting for anyone to speak. She raised her head and shouted, "He's right! Everyone in the entire Luoyang City is hoping for the dog official to die. If you told us early on, we would stand shoulder to shoulder. Let alone the dog official, these tens of soldiers would not be a problem either! Why did you stop him? You clearly know that the official is not a good person, why did you kill the good person and save the evil person? " Ever since Ren Sher messed with the Gold Casino, she had long since stopped her evil aura, and did her best to obey Chen Wanniang's words. This was the first time in two months that she was making such a ruckus.
Chen Wanniang was not angry, she tried to touch Ye Keying's forehead, but was pushed back by Ye Keying. She smiled and said, "That Feng guy already knew the news long ago, he is not an easy person, if I don't go, he can arrange a few more people to stand by the stairs and surround us, and we can still drag Xie Huan's poison, but Xie Huan is not someone who should be killed, and so many people shouldn't have taken the life of that dog official. If I were to stop him, I can make those with the surname Feng give us more face in the future. In addition, it would be more convenient to save others. "
When he finished, everyone was shocked, except for Qiu Cai. Ye Keying still had some doubts. She took a few steps back, sat on a horse, and asked, "You, how did you save him?" Liu Chong gawked and asked, "Sister Chen, do you know why Xie Huan killed the dog officials? He said that he would avenge his father, so how did his father die? "
After a long period of silence, she said, "Keying, when I said I wanted to save someone, I wasn't only going to save him alone. Perhaps this way, I could save you, your foolish big brother, Monk Yuanzhi. Saving Liu's patient from a few months ago would also save even more youths in this world. Do you know that a few years ago, I met Xie Huan once at Rakasha Sect. At that time, he was not a playboy, but was actually the Young Sect Master of White Lotus Cult. "
When the three words "White Lotus Cult" came out, not to mention Liu Chong, Ye Keying, and the rest, even Qiu Cai and the other three people were stunned for a moment.
Ye Keying did not read much after all. Although she knew that White Lotus Cult was the world's most "notorious" cult, she still did not know much. Thus, she stared at Chen Wanniang as she asked: "What does this have to do with saving me? And what is White Lotus Cult? "
"Yes..." Liu Chong answered first, he wanted to show off his vast knowledge. Seeing that Chen Wanniang did not try to stop her, he cleared his throat and said, "People say that White Lotus Cult can help people live forever, and that it soars in the heavens. I want to learn medicine, so I have read a few ancient books in this area. The White Lotus Cult originated from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and belonged to the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. In the early days, it was also known as the White Lotus Society and worshipped the Amitabha Buddha, also known as the Immeasurable Buddha. White Lotus Cult was spread widely because of its shallow teachings, reaching its peak in the prime of time. "In the Imperial Court, the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming dynasty, was the leader when the Emperor rebelled with the slogan 'the next life of Maitreya and the birth of the Emperor Ming'."
When Ye Keying heard the words "immortal and immortal", she vaguely understood the reason, but she still did not dare to be sure of it. She looked towards Chen Wanniang, and seeing that she was also nodding slightly, she continued listening.
Liu Chong said, "As soon as the Ming dynasty established itself, the 'demonic arts on the left path' were explicitly banned from the 'Law of the Ming Dynasty'. From then on, White Lotus Cult's momentum plummeted and it became a cult sect.
"What?" Ye Keying could not help but ask, "Then why did Zhu Yuanzhang use his White Lotus Cult to gain power and instead repay the kindness with enmity?"
Liu Chong was still young after all, and although he'd come into contact with all sorts of evils in this world, he didn't have a deep understanding of them. At this moment, when she asked, he was stunned and unable to respond. Chen Wanniang smiled faintly and continued, "Finally. Since ancient times, there have been many people who used the name of White Lotus Cult to rebel. The ones in the distance might as well be Song Fangla, Yuan Han Shantong, or Wang Lun and Jia Qing during Qian Long's years … " As she spoke of this last occasion, she paused for a moment. Ye Keying and Liu Chong were small and small, but from the looks of their words and expressions, they knew that Xie Huan was somehow related to Jia Qing's one year rebellion. However, counting with his fingers, it had been more than fifty years since the start of the rebellion. Yet, from what he had seen today, Xie Huan was only in his twenties. Could it be that his ancestors were implicated as well?
However, Chen Wanniang did not delay her words and continued, "Since that Zhu Yuan Zhang came from the White Lotus Cult, how could he not know the impressiveness of this sect? He had to hide everything. He wasn't even willing to let his brothers attack the mountains and rivers, let alone an even more powerful sect like this.
Liu Chong and Ye Keying looked at each other, and after a short while, Liu Chong suddenly said, "I heard that the cultivation method passed down from White Lotus Cult is called 'Immeasurable', and is probably the same as the Descending Head Technique in southern Fujian and the Gu technique in Yun Gui. Could it be that Xie Huan's cultivation was so powerful today? Could it be that he really had some sort of secret behind it? Then, to use the young man's and young woman's blood to refine the elixir of life, it was not sent from the palace, but from the White Lotus Cult? "
Ye Keying looked panicked. Although she had heard about it before, she did not take it seriously. Isn't that all demonic magic? "
Chen Wanniang said, "These... Unlike ordinary martial arts, he did not cultivate the seven meridians or eight meridians, but had to borrow external strength. However, the Descending Head Technique and the Gu technique were mainly used on the target, and this' Immeasurable 'technique added cultivation skills to the user's body. When cultivating 'Immeasurable', one must obtain the pattern of a snow lotus on the skin of the chest. There were nine layers in total, and the deeper one trained, the darker the color of the lotus flower would be on the heart, and the more true qi the body would have, the greater the amount of true qi would be. During my battle with Xie Huan today, he had only trained his' Immeasurable 'techniques to only three or four levels. If he was two levels higher, then the head of the dog official would have been hung in front of his Peony Clubhouse as a lantern for the Spring Lantern Festival. "
Before Liu Chong and Ye Keying could react, Hee Yang, Yang Tiancheng, and Fu Yitian's eyes lit up. It was as if they had finally seen a glimmer of hope and could suddenly ascend to the ranks of top experts. They no longer had to look at Chen Wanniang's expression.
However, the happiness only lasted for a moment, and Chen Wanniang continued, "This' Immeasurable 'does not conform to common sense, acting against the will of the heavens, thus causing great harm to oneself. After practising these three or four stages, his seven or four meridians and eight meridians have only been injured by thirty to forty percent. His fate has been shortened by twenty to thirty years, and unless he were to disperse his cultivation, it will be hard to recover from. " Liu Chong frowned and asked, "Is this why they are trying to find a way to live forever? That was why they were trying to harm children? Is it really possible? "
Chen Wanniang shook her head and said, "It's just a rumor. To harm the heavens and earth, you will only lose your lifespan. How can you live forever? The 'Red Ball case' in the three great mysteries of the previous dynasty was not intentionally administered with poison, but was caused by the White Lotus Cult entering the palace. " Liu Chong nodded and said, "That's right, no wonder I have seen someone in the wild talk about the evil ways of the palace. It must be that!" As he said that, he looked towards Ye Keying. He saw that the girl's face was pale and her chest was heaving. Is it to take my blood to refine medicine, to take my blood to refine medicine? Take my blood to refine medicine … " He was shocked and could not calm down.
Qiu Cai hurriedly placed his palm on Ye Keying's back and inserted some inner strength into it. "Let's not talk about this for now." Chief Shopkeeper, do you know why Xie Huan's father died? "
Chen Wanniang said, "It's for the Word Prison. Xie Huan was born into a singing and acting family. I heard that his family was hundreds of years old and had a close relationship with the famous music master Ma Zhiyuan. Ma Zhiyuan's manuscript "Lu Dongbin Three Drunken Yue Yang House" was collected by his family. If I remember correctly, there was once a passage in which the poem 'Sui Tang, count the rise and fall of this piece of green flag, can have a few days of autumn sunshine. "How can the vastness of the surrounding mountains and rivers be dispelled with just a few waves of my drinking ink?"
Other than Chen Wanniang, the rest of the people present didn't have much ink in their stomachs. Listening to her recite this piece of music slowly, they only felt that it was clear and refined, truly pleasant to listen to, but they didn't understand its meaning, and they didn't know where it was related to the word "language prison." All seven of them stared at Chen Wanniang at the same time, waiting for her detailed explanation. Chen Wanniang could not help but think about the life of her daughter before she left home. She sighed inwardly and said, "You should all study some more in the future." This sentence meant that while Lu Dongbin was watching the water of the Dongting Lake at Yue Yang Tower, he was sighing over the rapid rise and fall of the world, and the number of lives and deaths could be counted on a single hand. It was originally an excellent phrase. However, from the perspective of the imperial government, the words' one can expect this green flag to shine with autumn light for a few days' were completely wrong. Qing and Qing sound the same, and these words are said all at the same time, so it will not be long before it is Cursed Great Qing as well. "
The seven men then realized what was going on and listened to Chen Wanniang continue, "At the beginning of the empire, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and other emperors were investigating the most outrageous claims. The imperial government ordered the Xie Clan to hand over Ma Zhiyuan's copy, and not to perform any more, but the Xie Clan refused. From then on, the descendants of the Xie Clan were displaced and joined the White Lotus Cult. Five years ago, as the White Lotus Cult Master, Xie Wang Shan, Xie Huan's father, came to Rakasha Sect to discuss the joint uprising of Nian Rebellion. Afterwards, we heard that his return journey had been a temporary accident, and that he was captured by the soldiers and died in a short period of time. Xie Huan came with my father, but I don't know if he was killed or not. All I remember is that he was shy and introverted by nature, and that he loved to be quiet and unruly and refused to practice martial arts. Now that you have actually started to practice 'Immeasurable', it is truly unexpected. "
When Qiu Cai heard this, he bitterly smiled and whispered, "After so many years, everything will change, not to mention the hatred of killing my father." The words came as a surprise and everyone looked towards him but when they saw that he did not say anything more, they did not care. Only Liu Chong looked at him a few more times and suddenly felt that the background of this eldest senior brother was truly a mystery.
Chen Wanniang was dazed by this interruption. She smiled faintly and said, "I only know this much. Next, was how to save Xie Huan. This is a stupid thing to do, so let's keep our mouths shut. Otherwise, it would not be good if I were to take charge of it. " Her smile was like a flower, as if she had complete confidence in herself.
