After hearing this, Emperor Jianwen, who had just stopped crying, suddenly became infinitely sad again. This time he cried even harder, and almost lost his breath several times.

The old monk who was kneeling on the ground quickly got up and walked to Emperor Jianwen. He kept helping Emperor Jianwen rub his forehead and beat his back. Men's crying is different from women's. Once a man cries, it will always make people feel heartbroken.

Lung-like pain. The man's miserable cries echoed in the increasingly dark room, creating an atmosphere of incomparable sadness.

In order to avoid being heard by others, the old monk quickly closed all the windows one by one. Emperor Jianwen also realized the danger of his crying, so he tried hard to control his emotions. In order to suppress his crying, he bit his lower lip hard.

, until he bit out a row of blood-red tooth marks, and finally calmed down.

The two sat quietly on both sides of the table, silent. After a while, Emperor Jianwen asked in a hoarse voice from crying: "Master, you haven't told me yet, what is your origin?"

The old monk did not answer Emperor Jianwen directly, but asked Emperor Jianwen a very strange question: "Does your Majesty know that this dynasty has any relationship with the monk since Emperor Taizu?"

Emperor Jianwen nodded and thought, of course everyone knows this - Emperor Taizu once served as a monk.

The old monk seemed to have guessed Emperor Jianwen's inner thoughts, smiled lightly, and then told a magical story about their Zhu family. As a descendant of the Zhu family, Emperor Jianwen had never heard of this strange and strange thing about their family.

.

This old monk explained that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang’s ancestral home was not Fengyang, Anhui, but Suzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang’s great-grandfather, grandfather, and father lived in Suzhou for three generations. Later, because the family was very poor, there happened to be a famine, and the Zhu family was

Moved from Suzhou to Fengyang.

When he was in Suzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather had excellent water properties and could float and sink freely in the water. He could often dive into deep pools to catch big fish. People said that he must have been born by a fish, otherwise how could he have such superb water properties. At that time,

In the Suzhou area, there was a very accomplished numerology master who was proficient in astronomy and geography, Qi Men Dun Jia, and metaphysics and numerology. People called him Master Liu Xian.

Late one night, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. Although the knock was very light, it was very urgent. If someone knocked on the door so late, there must be something urgent, so he quickly lit the oil lamp, put on his clothes and got up.

Open the door.

When he opened the door, a person flashed in from the outside. Through the dim light in the room, he was surprised to find that this person turned out to be Master Liu Xian.

Master Liu Xian is a famous person in their area. Not to mention ordinary people, it is difficult for even officials and dignitaries to invite him. His whereabouts are always erratic and he often travels. Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather could not understand why this famous Master Liu Xian was...

He came looking for this poor guy in the middle of the night. Looking at Master Liu Xian again, he looked mysterious.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, it happened that Zhu Yuanzhang's grandmother took Zhu Yuanzhang's father back to her parents' home. Therefore, when Master Liu saw that there was no one else in the room, he went straight to the point. It turned out that Master Liu came to Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather for help.

Because after decades of research by Master Liu Xian, he discovered a huge secret.

Not far from them, there is a deep pool. This deep pool is a bit strange. It looks very calm on the surface, but there are many undercurrents under the water. As long as a person enters the water, it is very easy to be washed away by the undercurrent, and it is difficult to survive.

.But because there are many big fish in the deep pool, and some people say that there are extremely precious red carp weighing hundreds of kilograms in the pool, there are always people venturing into the pool to fish. Therefore, for hundreds of years, this deep pool has been flooded.

Countless people died. Apart from Zhu Yuanzhang’s grandfather, there was no one else who could escape unscathed after entering the deep pool several times. But what Liu Xianshi was interested in was not the red carp in the pool, but the red carp in the pool.

A thing that is a thousand or ten thousand times more magical than the red carp - the stone rhinoceros.

This stone rhinoceros is not carved by humans, but is a "spiritual fetus" formed by the energy of heaven and earth under the influence of comprehensive factors such as mountains, rivers, and swamps. Master Liu Xian finally found this stone rhinoceros after decades of painstaking research.

The exact location - right at the bottom of the deep pool.

In order to test whether his research was correct, Master Liu would run to the pond every late night in the past few days and observe carefully, because only at a certain moment in the middle of the night, this magical stone rhinoceros would emit a special

"Aura". After several days of observation, Master Liu Xian was sure that his research was correct.

So what is the use of finding this stone rhinoceros? The answer is simple - it can make its descendants become emperors and generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was very excited after hearing this. He knew that Master Liu Xian was not only unfathomable in his teachings, but also never lied. Whether he was treating people or telling fortunes, he always said what he wanted and never deceived or deceived.

Excellent reputation.

Since Master Liu said that this stone rhinoceros had such magical effects, it was worth risking his own life. He quickly asked Master Liu what to do.

The method Master Liu Xian said is a bit unbelievable - the bones of the ancestors must be used. Then you have to go to the ancestral grave first, dig out the bones of the ancestors, and then wrap them up with something, and be sure not to expose the bones.

Then dive into the bottom of the deep pool and find the stone rhinoceros. When the stone rhinoceros opens its mouth, you need to quickly fill its mouth with the bones of the ancestors, and that's it. But the rhinoceros only opens its mouth once, so you have to

Fill in the remains all at once, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.

But during the specific operation, a problem occurred.

It turned out that after digging up the remains of his ancestors, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather found that he had forgotten to take the bag. If he wanted to go back to find the bag, it would be too late. In desperation, he walked into the crop field and got it.

Wrap the bones with some leaves, then take the bones of the ancestors of the Liu family that Master Liu had already wrapped, dive into the deep pool, and prepare to stuff the two packages of bones into the mouth of the stone rhinoceros at the same time.

After diving into the bottom of the pool, he found the stone rhinoceros without much effort, and found that it was indeed lifelike. It was lying on the bottom of the water, just like the real thing, and its whole body was glowing with green light.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather swam over, and when he was about to bring the two packages of bones to the mouth of the stone rhinoceros, suddenly, the stone rhinoceros opened its mouth and bit Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather's bones, which were wrapped in crop leaves.

Swallowed it. Because even though it was a stone rhinoceros, it still had the nature of a rhinoceros and liked to eat green leaves.

As a result, the bones of the ancestors of the Zhu family were swallowed by the stone rhinoceros. When Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather tried to stuff the bones of the ancestors of the Liu family, the rhino shut his mouth. This was bad, because Master Liu Xian said, this

A rhinoceros can only open its mouth once. Therefore, the bones of the Liu family's ancestors could not be stuffed into the rhino's mouth.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather came ashore and told Master Liu about the situation, Master Liu seemed to be struck by thunder. He stood there blankly without saying a word. His face was full of extreme disappointment and frustration. After a long time, he sighed deeply.

Take a breath.

Master Liu Xian asked Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather to sneak into the pool again, hang the bones of the Liu family's ancestors on the two horns of the rhinoceros, and then secretly cast a spell and wrote a spell: "The left horn is the prime minister, the right horn is the prime minister, the ox is

The mouth comes out of the monk".

It was because of Master Liu Xian's spell that Zhu Yuanzhang was destined to become a monk. However, the magic power of Stone Rhinoceros was huge after all. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was temporarily made a monk by Master Liu, he still had the destiny of the emperor. Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang

He was a monk in a temple. It is said that whenever he was cleaning the Buddhist temple alone in the dead of night, he would hold a broom and just say: "Go away, go away", and the Buddha statues would automatically move away.

Emperor Jianwen listened with gusto, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed. After the old monk finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and said to the old monk: "I don't know where the master heard such a story. Although it is ridiculous, it is still true."

Edited with unique ingenuity."

"Haha, you made it up? In this vast world, there are many strange and wonderful things that happen by chance. What actually happened may be even more unbelievable than this." After speaking, the old monk took the tea and took a sip to moisten it.

Moisturizing his throat, he lowered his voice and asked Emperor Jianwen mysteriously: "Your Majesty, do you know who this Master Liu Xian is?"

Emperor Jianwen shook his head blankly.

The expression on the old monk's face suddenly became serious: "This Master Liu Xian is none other than the ancestor of the then minister Liu Ji and Liu Bowen."

Emperor Jianwen couldn't help being surprised.

Emperor Jianwen knew that Liu Bowen was the number one adviser to his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang. He was knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and proficient in classics and history. He was compared to Zhuge Liang. However, because his grandfather was extremely suspicious, all the founding ministers were regarded by him as

All kinds of crimes were eliminated one by one. This was for the stability of the Zhu family. This Liu Bowen was no exception. He was suppressed by his grandfather and punished very severely. In the end, his grandfather asked another minister to drug the sick Liu Bowen.

poison.

The old monk continued: "Taizu got rid of Liu Bowen, but because the Liu family is not an ordinary family, starting from his ancestor Liu Xianshi, they are all proficient in Taoism and yin and yang numerology. If they harm the Liu family, they will definitely be punished.

He used strange magic to retaliate. The Zhu family's fratricide this time, as well as your majesty's disaster, must be said to have a lot to do with the Liu family."

Emperor Jianwen couldn't help but trembled. He felt it was too terrible. He was the most beloved grandson of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect to end up like this. Moreover, his tragic fate was still inseparable from the word "monk".

, Grandpa may have noticed it a long time ago, and deliberately left the mysterious iron box before his death, so that he could survive. Is this unavoidable karma?

It was already dark outside, and the light inside the room was already dark, and now it was even darker. The two of them talking about these things in the dark made Emperor Jianwen even more frightened. The old monk seemed to feel the change in Emperor Jianwen's mood, so he got up and groped around

Light the oil lamp.
