Chapter 155 Going out to see the imperial calendar
"The almanac is a treasure inherited from the Demon Suppression Department. It was originally discovered by your great-grandfather and handed over to the court.
The cost of using that thing is not small, it must be controlled by a specialist. Every time it is used, it must be included in the public account. The effect is to predict the future to a certain extent, especially in terms of people's whereabouts, which are almost unsatisfactory.
For a long time, law enforcement officials have encountered major tasks and must read the almanac when they go out, which has become a regular rule."
After a while, Li Lu followed Li Xin and his subordinate to look at the almanac, and learned from Li Xin the origin of the treasure.
"It was the great-grandfather who handed it over to the court..."
Li Chu quickly understood.
Some things are only suitable for the court to control. If public use is used for private purposes, they will suffer strange disasters. And now, descendants still have the right to mobilize that thing, which has reached a certain tacit understanding with the court.
These are the real reasons why the ancestors of the Marquis' Mansion were able to live in peace with the imperial court.
The kind that can be hidden and can be raised by yourself will still keep it privately.
The three of them walked into one of the rooms in the nearby courtyard. The outside was very guarded, but it was very simple. There was only a table next to the wall, with an open imperial calendar on it on it, and a screen next to it.
Li Xin called Li Chu to stand on the screen and said to him: "You must not see the handwriting on it when using the strange treasure later. It comes with a strong curse, which can make people who see the page blind."
Li Lu was shocked. There was indeed some special and bizarre power in this world that could target the eyes.
However, he soon realized that there was indeed a restraining relationship between the strange forces, but it may not necessarily mean that one side was absolutely dominant.
For example, the imperial calendar may not necessarily blind one's eyes.
Even a department like the Law Enforcement Hall of the Demon Suppression Department would not blind a subordinate for no reason. It is even more likely that it would use all kinds of weird forces to resist.
For example, the alien who also has special eyes.
Li Lu told Li Xin his guess, and Li Xin certainly said: "Yes, at the beginning, the Law Enforcement Hall relied on a dedicated person to control the weird things of eyes to see. Later, some things that had selfish thoughts and deliberately distorted the results they saw were happening. In addition, this treasure also harmed the weird things of eyes, so they slowly changed to other methods later."
The imperial calendar is a calendar that can display multiple sets of calendars at the same time and attach a large number of rules and contents related to seeking good and avoiding bad luck. The content includes the twenty-four solar terms, good and bad luck, conflicts and evil, combined harm, Na Yin, stems and branches, etc.
After becoming a treacherous thing, its special function becomes information that can display the specific direction of the designated target, future whereabouts, etc.
The handwriting displayed on this is almost 100% fulfilled. A few words may reveal a lot of future information, so it can be regarded as a magical treasure to predict the future and play a huge role in the court and the country.
In addition to the cover and back cover, the entire book also has 366 pages. Each time one page is tear off and one page grows, the total number remains unchanged, but the new one will be born on the same day of the second year.
This torn calendar will change from the original normal content to the relevant information about the target that the page-torn person thinks, but it can only be related to finding people and things, and other information will appear randomly.
However, the price of using this treasure is that you will be blind after reading the page.
In fact, for real powerful people, this is not a big price at all. The real trouble is that the content that has been torn off will disappear after being read, and others cannot confirm the authenticity.
This will cause many problems, and the powerful are unwilling to take risks on their own. The only way is to design a better way.
The Demon Suppressing Division has held such treasures for decades and has established a complete mechanism to deal with this situation.
So shortly after they stepped into this room, two other law enforcement officials also walked in, carrying copper basins, kettles, paper and pens and other debris, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Master of the Hall."
"Let's start." Li Xin said lightly.
Li Lu thought about it, but while others were not paying attention, he quietly drank a sip of the wine in his bottle and tried to see through the imperial calendar.
"Single Treasure (Old Emperor's Calendar)"
"A outdated old year calendar with information about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune"
"Reading calendar information will make people blind, and after reading the information, it will disappear, and become a strange and exist in the readers' consciousness."
"This thing is often used to encounter a curse of bad luck."
"This is a curse of bad luck?"
Objects like this that can be used multiple times at first glance are indeed hidden in dark pits.
Li Chu couldn't help but think of his Eight Immortals Golden Cup.
However, two law enforcement officials have already started using the strange treasures.
Li Lu thought about it, but he still couldn't look at the torn calendar.
From the information I just saw, we can already understand that this imperial calendar itself is the biggest trouble.
Because of the cost of blindness, the circulation of information is not smooth, and suspicion has already occurred and will not be eliminated.
This is a huge trouble for those who use this treasure.
The curse of bad luck is hidden in the beautiful disguise of seeking good and avoiding bad luck. It is easy for people to rely on it, and it is more likely to fall into a life-threatening crisis without realizing it.
Li Lu suddenly thought of his true vision.
I had fallen into suspicion about it before, and it was only relieved until I successfully controlled Xiao Qingyi's right arm, but this trust was still fragile because no one knew what the truth behind these strange things was.
No wonder human wisdom is also a kind of treacherous. The uncertainty brought about by this suspicion will run through the whole process, which is the characteristic of wisdom itself.
One of the strangers turned a few pages, tore off the page of the day, and activated it with his spiritual thoughts.
But when the strange fire flowed, the page actually started to burn.
The law enforcement hall Yiren put it into a copper basin, and then he saw that this page of the calendar turned into ashes and kept at the bottom of the basin.
Another stranger took out a strip of ink from the small box he was carrying, and began to grind the ink with paper ash and clean water.
Li Lu looked curiously, and felt that there was a gray and strange force flowing on it, but his state was unstable and he could not form pale fire.
After all this was over, the two of them took out the white paper and spread it flat on the table, brushed it with a small brush, and actually printed out a calendar.
"The Lord, it's already done."
Li Xin took the page and nodded.
"Is this a solution?"
Li Lu was surprised and immediately heard Li Xin’s prompt.
"It's time to watch now."
Some handwriting has indeed appeared on it.
"In the 60th year of Delong, on the fourth day of the fifth month, Lin You was in Shanhefang Baijia Teahouse. He returned to the fifth house of Nan Erqu at the end of Si. At the time of Xu, he was heading east to the neighboring wall Yiqu Lichun Courtyard..."
