Chapter 86 The fierce man who entered the Forbidden City

rub--

Like an ape, Li Heng jumped from the coffin he was standing on to another hanging iron coffin.

"The position of the great immortal, grandson and three tigers..."

Boom——

Jumping onto another iron coffin, Li Heng continued to look at the writing on the coffin.

"The position of Great Immortal Wang Ping..."

At this point, he stopped and jumped down from the iron coffin.

The coffins hanging in the air swayed even more vigorously due to his tossing, and the sound of the iron chains rubbing against the coffins was like a symphony in the extremely quiet underground.

A symphony from the underworld.

But it seems that these "immortals" are not peaceful after death, right?

"Zhou Deyang...Zhou Deyang?"

After thinking for a while, Li Heng made up his mind.

And the corpses of these "immortals" are now hanging above Li Heng's head!

Don't let the "immortal" inside escape.

There really are some meanings of "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" descending to earth.

"Second worship to the great immortal, with unparalleled divine power to kill the Tartar thieves"

But now, after seeing the tablet in front of him, Li Heng looked over this period of history and couldn't help but make associations.

This looks more like a prisoner, and the body is still bound by layers of shackles and cannot be released.

However, the fierce man in black robes and black coat who single-handedly entered Yangxin Palace was not mentioned much in the historical records, as if he was deliberately concealed.

And there are many yellow and white paper slips displayed on the tribute platform, pressed with a black stone paperweight. On the paper slips are crooked red and black traditional Chinese handwriting -

Could it be that the "Great Immortal" Zhou Deyang written on this tablet was the fierce man who single-handedly chopped down a bunch of imperial guards and went to Emperor Daoguang alone?

And there is such a strange person in the world who was stabbed so many times and was seriously injured before falling down after being shot three times in a row. What kind of physical strength and perseverance is this?!

The presence of such strange people in the White Lotus Sect naturally frightened the Qing court, so they ordered a thorough investigation.

In addition to hoisting the coffins, those iron chains were also tightly wrapped around them, as if they were trying to lock the iron coffins and prevent the contents from escaping.

This search is very fast, and the results are given in almost a second or two.

After reading the tablets on these tribute strips, Li Heng suddenly realized something was wrong.

Unfortunately, this farce ended hastily. In the end, these believers were surrounded and annihilated one by one by the Ouchi guards due to their numerical disadvantage. The leader Lin Qing also died in the chaos.

When later commentators talked about this incident, they viewed it more as a farce, believing that it was one of the obvious signs of the Qing Dynasty's weakness. A mob of dozens of people could break into the inner courtyard of the palace and kill many guards.

, it can be seen how weak the palace guards who were born under the Eight Banners have become.

"Five bows to the great immortals, the gods of Ming will return and create China."

However, that was the case with folk religion back then. There was no unified belief or doctrine. It was all a patchwork of myths, stories, folk customs, and customs. Whatever was useful was stuffed in. Since the common people didn’t know a few Chinese characters, it was good if someone believed in it.

Reciting this name, Li Heng couldn't help but be slightly startled, and a ray of thought emerged from the ocean of memory.

He planned to meet these great immortals for a while and communicate with them face to face!

Bang bang bang——

Before it fell to the ground, Li Heng had already dragged the entire iron coffin to the ground with one hand.

And because he died in the palace, his body naturally fell into the hands of the Qing court. There was no coffin for him here, so he could only set up a memorial tablet.

But he was brave enough to die and had extraordinary courage. He killed a large number of Imperial Guards with one man, and slashed him from outside the palace to the Yangxin Palace with one sword. He left countless sword wounds and sword marks on his body, and his black robe was stained with blood, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain.

Not afraid of death, he rushed straight into the Yangxin Palace, intending to kill the princes and nobles in the palace with the kitchen knife in his hand.

This incident can be regarded as an anecdote even if we look at the entire history.

"Four obeisances to the Great Immortal, the White Lotus enters the world and determines the universe."

Under these iron coffins were placed a pile of incense burners and fire pots, as well as tribute stands and prayer flags similar to Lamaism, but they were all modified by the White Lotus teachings.

Some say it is called "Chen De", others say it is Zhou, but there is a high probability that the name contains the word "德". Anyway, there are different opinions, and in the end the truth will only be lost in the vast history.

According to Ye Shi, Daoguang fired a total of three shots before stopping this man. At that time, each shot of the musket needed to be reloaded. When the last shot was loaded, the kitchen knife was only a few feet away from him. If it were later, the result would be

It's hard to say for sure.

Speaking of the White Lotus Uprising, many people know about it, but if you really ask what famous battles occurred during the uprising, most people can't tell them.

A White Lotus cult leader named Lin Qing led seventy-two so-called "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" directly into the capital, taking the Forbidden Golden Palace and even broke into the inner courtyard of the palace!

Only a few dozen people actually threatened Ouchi, approaching the Yangxin Hall and the harem courtyard.

"When I worship the great immortal, I, the Buddha, will always be at peace."

There are nine immortal thrones placed on the tribute platform, but there are only eight iron coffins hanging on it. One is missing?

Li Heng immediately jumped back on the iron coffin to check the inscriptions, which corresponded to the tablets below, and then found the extra "Great Immortal" tablet.

That was the incident of "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals Attacking the Forbidden City" during the Jiaqing Period of the Qing Dynasty!

But there is one thing that is absolutely engraved on the pillars of history, and it has completely established the reputation of the White Lotus Sect and it can never be erased.

In his recollection, Daoguang also felt terrified and terrified.

Li Heng's eyes suddenly lit up: "During the Jiaqing period... this was the match!"

But there was still a change. Among these "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals", there really was a fierce man. His whole body was wrapped in black clothes and black robes, and he only used a kitchen knife as a weapon. He looked like a cook.

Have you ever heard of an immortal being put into an iron coffin and hung on a beam after death?

It is obviously an organization that worships Buddhist gods and uses Buddhist concepts as its basic teachings, but as a result, there is no great immortal here, and it feels a bit nondescript.

There are tablets placed on these tribute strips, including Zhang Mingwu's immortal tablet, Sun Sanhu's immortal tablet, Wang Ping's immortal tablet... which correspond to the coffins hanging above.

In the end, he was killed by the then Prince Zhi, later Emperor Daoguang, with a Western musket, thus stopping this terrible man.

If we follow this speculation... doesn't it mean that the other eight immortals enshrined here are also fierce men like Zhou Deyang?

But he was not sure, so he took out his collection again, clicked on the offline encyclopedia application, and began to look for clues about the name.

Li Heng jumped directly on top of one of the coffins. He slashed at a rusted iron chain with his finger like a knife. He struck three times in a row to directly break the rusted part. The whole coffin suddenly fell with a crash.

"Three bows to the Immortal, and I will serve Amitabha in the afterlife."

If this is the case, it seems understandable that these fierce group of "foreigners" are revered as great immortals in the White Lotus Sect, and they will be enshrined as immortals after their death.

There are three characters "Zhou Deyang" written on the tablet.

Wow——

He also untied all the remaining chains, and with a bang, Li Heng violently opened the coffin lid.

"this……"

However, when he saw the scene inside, he was shocked. There was something inside that he had never imagined before.
Chapter completed!
