Hong Bo took another sip of tea and said: "This group of villains from the Xilu Kingdom came and went without a trace. They became more and more violent in the Xiliang area. People in some places began to worship the statues of the Xilu Kingdom and claimed to surrender to the West.
The State of Lu became their subjects...
There were even some cities on the edge of the Tengger Desert that simply raised the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, defending themselves and breaking away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty...
If people from the Xilu Kingdom come, the people in these cities will open the city to welcome them, and take the initiative to send gold, silver, treasures, wine and women as taxes...
The people of the Xilu Kingdom accepted the offer gladly, and promised to protect the people in the city. They gave them a horn and said that if the Qing army came to encircle and suppress them, they would ask the people in the city to blow the horn, and the Xilu Kingdom would send people to protect them.
..
The people in the city sent the people from Xilu away with hesitation...
Within a few days, the Qing army indeed sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and the people in the city quickly blew the trumpets...
In less than half a day, I saw people from Xilu riding on horseback and wielding swords. They were extremely powerful and invincible. They quickly killed the officers and soldiers who came to suppress the rebellion, leaving nothing behind. They ran away with their heads covered...
Only then did the people in the city believe that the people from Xilu had not deceived them...
But the city is surrounded by desert Gobi, and there is no place to station a large army. No one knows where these people from the Xilu Kingdom came from...
The people in the city welcomed the Xilu people into the city and held a big banquet to thank them. During the dinner, the leaders of the city asked the Xilu generals where they lived, where they came from, and why they were like this.
quick?
The general drunkenly said that they indeed lived in the Thunder Tower Mirage Palace in the sky, which was a fairyland outside the world...
If he wants to come out, the leader of the Xilu Kingdom will summon a mirage to form a space passage, allowing the warriors of the Xilu Kingdom to come out of the mirage...
If they want to go back, the soldiers of the Xilu Kingdom come to the Tengger Desert and blow specific horns. A mirage passage will appear in the desert, and the soldiers will return to the Leitai Mirage Palace from the mirage..."
"Wow... isn't this amazing?"
"A mirage is actually a passage to another space?"
"Is this true?"
Everyone was amazed again.
Jiang Zhonglou stared in thought.
Space travel is no longer unusual for him...
The last time he was in Undersea City, he traveled to the Yuexin God Realm, met the true god, and even talked to Mozi in person...
However, that way of time travel is actually just that the brain consciousness is connected to the divine world through the sacrifice of the bronze sacred tree. It is just the mind consciousness crossing over. Jiang Zhonglou's body is still in the earth space and has not really traveled through space...
After arriving at Hong Kong Island, Mo Xian's Clematis brought Jiang Zhonglou into his personal space, which was truly a space travel...
Although the carrying space of Clematis is not large, in essence, it is no different from the "Leitai Mirage Palace" of the Xilu people mentioned by Hong Bo...
However, Clematis' Taoism is not high enough yet. If he can practice the Moxian magic left by Mo Zi to its peak and create a grand space, it shouldn't be difficult.
Therefore, the story Hongbo told about the Xilu Kingdom may sound absurd to others, but to Jiang Chonglou, it is completely understandable...
It is very likely that during the Kangxi period, a master of Moxian created a mysterious space, named it "Leitai Mirage Palace", and gathered a group of murderers to live in it...
They can use the "mirage" passage to enter and exit the "Leitai Mirage Palace" in the Tengger Desert at any time...
The word "mirage" originally means big clam. According to legend, it is a kind of sperm clam that lives in a huge shell...
The "Leitai Mirage Palace" space is indeed like a huge clam shell...
As for why it is called Leitai, I don’t know...
Maybe it’s because the mirage is in mid-air, so it’s called Thunder Tower, right?
"It is said in our Hongmen legend that if you find the dragon-headed stick, you can open the Hongmen altar. There are not only countless gold and silver treasures in the altar, but also the secret of immortality... Is it so rare that the Xilu people can travel through space?
"
Hong Bo listened to everyone's amazement, but said nonchalantly.
"But...this Xilu country still has no connection with our Hongmen!" Niu Qianxi said again.
"Uncle Hong hasn't finished speaking yet, just listen slowly!"
Beng Yakui glared at Niu Xixi angrily.
Hong Bo took another sip of tea and continued: "Later, more and more people in the Xiliang area joined the Xilu Kingdom and openly raised the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The local officials were unable to suppress it and saw that the situation was not good.
He quickly reported to Kangxi...
Kangxi was furious after receiving the report. He felt that the local officials were deceiving the public with their lies, so he killed the local officials and sent a new trusted general to Xiliang to take charge of military and political power and put down the rebellion...
The general arrived in the northwest and stationed himself in Liangdu City, the capital of Xiliang. He gathered an army and organized a counter-rebellion...
Unexpectedly, after several battles, the troops and generals were lost, and they were no match for the Xilu people...
Those Xilu people came and went without a trace, and when they encountered strong officers and soldiers, they would ride back on horseback and disappear into the Tengger Desert...
When the officers and soldiers dispersed to suppress the rebellion, the Xilu people suddenly came out from the desert and defeated the officers and soldiers one by one...
The army of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers was exhausted and was quickly eaten away...
Finally, Liangdu City was captured, and the general fled back to the capital alone overnight and reported to Kangxi that the Xilu people in Xiliang were indeed monsters and could not be pacified with conventional force...
Kangxi finally believed that the people of Xilu did have mysterious magic, so he asked some national advisors to go to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, but all the imperial advisors shook their heads and waved their hands, and no one dared to quell the rebellion...
Kangxi was at a loss what to do, so he publicly issued a reward list, saying that whoever could pacify the demons of the Xilu Kingdom would be rewarded with thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. He hoped to recruit capable people from among the people to help him pacify the Xilu Kingdom...
After the bounty was issued, no one dared to reveal the list for a long time. Everyone knew that this Xilu countryman had mysterious magic skills and was so elusive that even an army of hundreds of thousands was no match for him, let alone ordinary people.
Even if the folk masters have unparalleled martial arts skills, they cannot use fists and kicks to deal with demons...
Just when Kangxi was worried and at a loss what to do, the monks of the Southern Shaolin Temple unveiled a reward list, saying that they could subdue the demons of the Xilu Kingdom and put down the rebellion of the Xilu people...
Kangxi was overjoyed and asked the monks in the Southern Shaolin Temple what spells they used to break the demons of the Xilu people? How much money and food were needed for the army and horses?
The monks from the Southern Shaolin Temple said that they have their own magic to subjugate and eliminate demons. They don’t need anything. They just need the inn to take them to Xiliang...
Kangxi then asked how many monks there were in the Southern Shaolin Temple. They said there were only one hundred and twenty...
Kangxi was dubious, so he sent one hundred and twenty monks from the Southern Shaolin Temple to Xiliang, asking them to put down the rebellion of the Xilu people..."
"Wow... An army of hundreds of thousands can't do anything. How can one hundred and twenty monks defeat those Xilu people who know sorcery?" Niu Shuangshuang asked curiously.
