"Gaoming? What's the use? Hasn't the master been kicked out by his disciples?" The old liar snorted coldly, and his resentment filled with smoke.
"Hey, you forced me. Master can't even see through this, right?" The little liar immediately bowed his head and flattered him, brought a bottle of good wine, and filled the old liar's teacup. The old liar in front of him said just now I went too far, and by being manipulated like this, this situation not only contained half of the world, but also the entire world and half of China.
"If you don't look away, you won't come to Shanghai." The old liar was addicted to alcohol. After one sip, he seemed to have forgotten his past grudges.
"The third and most important flaw: the Red Cliff Heavenly Book."
"The Red Cliff Book?" The little liar has always been very proud of this magical stroke. He merged Shen Wansan's treasures with the treasures of Emperor Jianwen. The clues pointed to the Red Cliff Book in Guizhou; in his opinion, everything was perfect. .
Shen Wansan was a wealthy man in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After Emperor Jianwen had been emperor in Nanjing for four years, he was ousted from the throne by his uncle. Legends about them have been circulating in the rivers and lakes, as well as among the people. After research, the little liar was accepted by some scholars. Inspired to connect the Red Cliff Heavenly Book in Huangguoshu, Guizhou Province with this treasure legend;
The core of the scam is to suggest that the Red Cliff Heavenly Book is the key to Shen Wansan's treasure and the clue to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. The little liar wants to come up with a formula for interpreting the Red Cliff Heavenly Book, and what is released for everyone to fight for is this formula.
"Yes, the Red Cliff Heavenly Book is your biggest flaw; that thing has nothing to do with these two people. If you can figure out what is written on it, huh..."
The old liar stopped mid-sentence, causing the little liar to feel itchy: "Master, what is it?"
"There are two words in the Red Cliff Heavenly Book that you should know." The old liar spread out a rubbing and pointed to a place.
Zhu Tong tilted his head and looked straight for a long time, but he was still confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
"Look carefully, what do they look like?"
"Phoenix..., these two words are Phoenix."
Zhu Tong was suddenly enlightened, and two trance-like words were flying in front of his eyes, floating flexibly, like living creatures.
"Yes, it is Phoenix. There are experts among the people. Although these two words are the most hidden, some people still have some clues. Master, I can only say that I admire you."
There are more than ten rubbings of various versions on the bed, which Zhu Tong has collected everywhere these days. They are all rubbish rubbings of the Red Cliff Book from various dynasties; there are editions ranging from fifty "character" to more than ten "character" editions. , and there are also fuzzy versions where the number of "words" is difficult to distinguish. Some are obvious fallacies, and some are different versions due to omissions in copying. What is an authentic or original work? Who is wrong? Everyone has their own reasons, and the little liar is If you don’t understand it, it is for reference only.
It was the blurred version that the old liar was referring to.
"Look here, a knowledgeable expert will see that the Red Cliff Heavenly Book is the source of the word Zhuyoumenshu. If you spread this word, you will make people laugh."
The little liar recalled the inscriptions on the Phoenix mask, carefully compared the inscriptions and seal characters on it, and really found two similar characters in the rubbings: Phoenix.
"Master, are you saying that the Red Cliff Heavenly Book belongs to us?"
"Who knows those? The words are just superficial, and it's useless to read them." The old liar corrected: "To be more careful, the Red Cliff Book of Heaven has some connections with us. However, for thousands of years, everyone has tried to decipher these and carved them randomly. Writing about random expansions, today's Red Cliff Heavenly Book has long been destroyed by arrogant people. It is even more difficult to find something. However, this is fine, such things are really handed down. In addition to making people think wildly, it is really not It’s of no use.”
"Then... what should I do?" The little liar is a little frustrated. First, because he has little knowledge. If he hadn't invited the old liar to check it, this scam might have become a joke. Secondly, because the old liar obviously has a lot of things left in him.
It's a secret, but he won't tell it, leaving the little liar with nothing to do.
The old liar reached out, grabbed a pen, and wrote two lines, three sentences, and twenty-one crooked and simple traditional Chinese characters on a rubbing.
"Take it and go to Henan, find Mrs. Yu, and carve these words into a three-way seal. So, do you understand?"
Twenty-one characters were carved into a three-dimensional seal, and a treasure map was engraved on the seal. This was Zhu Tong's plan long ago. He invited the old liar to come, and his original intention was to check the acrostic poem he made; but he did not expect it.
, the old liar denied most of what he prepared.
Zhu Tong read it carefully several times, and found that these twenty-one words actually contained multiple meanings; after being divided into three parts, they still had the charm of breaking up and connecting, and he could read every sentence: Shen Fu, treasure, Yun Wenzhi
Class clues.
Even if they are put together in one place, people can clearly feel: this is just a part.
"Master, is there more?"
"Yes, there is more, but if you throw out all the clues, will this play still be sung? Only when you are half asleep and half awake can you arouse people's reverie. What you can't get is the best, just like
Just like a beauty."
"I'm asking, what's the next line?" The old liar wrote a few lines of poetry, which were full of ancient meaning. The little liar was fascinated by the poem and was also confused by it.
"What's the next sentence? There isn't one at all; it's just these that gave me, Master, a headache for a long time before I thought of it for you. Your generation is the most relaxed. I think back then, we only complained about hardship when we were learning arts. We had to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and three
Sixteen spells need to be practiced, and eighteen amulet spells need to be drawn. Master, I was also a romantic talent when I was young, and my words were easy to talk about; the price was that I didn't get a good night's sleep, and I would suffer if I was lazy...
"
"You have so many skills, why don't you teach us?" Zhu Tong finally came to his senses and interrupted the old liar's reminiscing about the sorrows and sweetness, and said bitterly.
"Those things are very labor-intensive and rarely come into use. Boy, don't blame the master for being mean. I have no problem with you wanting to become a nerd. In this society, as long as you learn something, you can just run and do it."
Mr. Shuzhai. For example, those who can truly understand these sentences must have at least thirty years of study skills. Hehe, who would know that I made them up at random."
The little liar slapped himself on the back of the head and said with a smile: "I almost got deceived by Master, I forgot, we are setting up a plan; Master, where does Mrs. Yu live? What should I do with her?"
"Boy, you've only been in Shanghai for a few days and you've already become stupid?"
"No, Master, you are also a good engraver, why would you want to find someone else?"
The old liar is indeed good at sealing. In the past years, the old liar often did things like engraving official seals privately.
"It's easy to carve a seal, but it's hard to make jade. Your three-dimensional seal was thrown out as an ancient seal of the Ming Dynasty, and you have to put your random treasure map on the seal. I'm not that capable; only by finding Mrs. Jade can I
Making high-grade goods that no one can identify; playing with ancient jade is a profound knowledge, and the price will not be cheap."
When it comes to money, the little liar is the least worried. He now has a large amount of black money around him and nowhere to go.
"How much?"
"Mrs. Jade is not very greedy. Two jade seals and one gold seal, five hundred thousand is probably enough. Alas!" The old liar had a complicated expression when talking about Mrs. Jade, and finally sighed heavily.
The little liar was alert and asked: "Mrs. Yu, are you Master's old friend? Master, you'd better explain everything clearly, otherwise, I will be killed or deceived, which will be a huge injustice."
.”
"Hmph! Will I be in love with Mrs. Yu? Hehe, she is living in seclusion in Nanyang. Don't worry. As long as you can find Mrs. Yu, your game will be complete. The following are all operational details. I have to say, your operation
The plan is very thorough, even I can't do it better, hey, I don't see any flaws. There will be many people involved."
The old liar vaguely walked over this difficult but important issue. He picked up Zhu Tong's plan and read it page by page. After reading one page, he threw it under the bed; when he finished throwing it all away, there was just a table next to the bed.
A pile of finely shredded paper scraps.
"The more people there are, the more lively it is. Master, there's another question. If we don't use the Red Cliff Book as a cover, we have to give the treasure hunters a place, right?"
"This is true."
The two swindlers, big and small, discussed and considered for a long time before settling on a suitable place: Niutoushan on the outskirts of Nanjing.
Nanjing was the capital of Emperor Jianwen, and Niutoushan was the most appropriate place for Shen Wansan's legendary treasure trove. There used to be many temples there, with high mountains and dense forests, making it a good place to hide treasures.
"Last point, how are you going to throw it out? You need to find the right opportunity." The old liar is a little sleepy. After all, he is an older person and has more worries.
"I have a patient on my hands. He holds a secret. Several people want to pry open his mouth; he is my release port."
The little liar introduced Zhao Yongbing's situation with a sinister and proud smile: "Jiang Xiaoyu, a fifth-grade Qingyang, once hid beside him. What if..."
"You are so good at what you do. When did you learn how to let others speak for you?" The little liar's skills were taught by the old liar. It is not difficult to let a dying person speak, but it is difficult to say what you want.
"Of course I don't have this ability, but it does." The little liar nodded his head: "Master, I am now a Gu God, and I have great abilities. I can know where he hides the things, and just put the seal there.
You know, although Zhao Yongbing is a rough man, it is normal not to know the value of these; but Jiang Xiaoyu knows, and the person next to Mr. Tian also knows; they will..."
Zhu Tong was talking about his plan when his hand was grabbed by the old liar. In an instant, heat surged and his whole body was thoroughly inspected.
"It's not a good thing. Try to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"I think so too, but there's nothing I can do about it; Master, you..." Zhu Tong looked at Master with hope.
The old liar thought about it again and again, and sighed: "I have no idea, maybe...forget it, it will kill you; Zhu Huang is good at this, maybe...you can practice these two words "haoshengsheng", and everything will be reduced.
Things, bugs are always afraid of birds, well, it might be of some use."
Zhu Tong watched as the old liar made virtual drawings in the air with his cigar. Light blue smoke lines emerged from the cigar, and two flying words solidified in front of his eyes: Phoenix.
This skill is really very clever. He solidifies the smoke of nothingness in the air. Zhu Tong blows a breath, and the whole "phoenix" dances, but does not dissipate. It floats far and near in front of the little liar.
For half an hour, Zhu Tong reached out and copied the words "drill" over and over again, but he couldn't grasp the key points. This was rare for him. In the past, Zhu Tong could only learn things with one click, and it had never been so difficult.
.
"Ordinarily, your current level of cultivation at your age is pretty good, but there is no shortcut to learning these two words. You have to settle down and think about it little by little. If you don't work hard for a few years, you won't be able to understand the way. Learn these two words.
You can use the phoenix mask. However, you are not a good guy no matter what. If you come up with something weird, don’t show it to embarrass yourself."
After hearing this, the little liar felt a little discouraged. He lit the phoenix mask on his chest and said, "Master, what is the use of this thing? Get rid of it quickly."
It was because of it that the little liar had a hard time hiding it; a man without a chest would not dare to touch a woman at all; Ye'er had obviously meant to commit herself to her, but Zhu Tong just didn't dare to take action.
"What's the use? I don't know. It's been with me for forty years, and I only use it to make fires and light cigarettes. You must not have practiced the word '中' well."
"You didn't teach me how to write at all, you told me how to practice?" Zhu Tong made a virtual '中' character in the air, "Is this how you write it?"
The old liar squinted for a while, until the aura condensed by the word '中' dissipated, and then sighed: "It turns out that you are really an embroidered pillow. What was the first word I taught you? Forget it, you have completely forgotten it.
.”
The first character that a Zhu disciple learns is of course the word 'Zhu'. Zhu Tong has been beaten a lot for this word since he was a child, and of course he will never forget it. Listening to what the old liar said, take the word 'Zhu'
'口' is the shape, and the most difficult part of the character '中' suddenly becomes clear.
The little liar drew the word "中" in the air, and practiced it many times before he mastered the key; the coolness on his chest made him feel comfortable all over. He opened his clothes and checked, and found that the invisible part had shrunk a lot, but most of the slap on his chest was still empty.
one slice.
"You kid... forget it, I'll mess up your mind by saying it. You can't have any distracting thoughts when practicing the Phoenix Mask. Write it down, maybe it will take a year and a half before you can return to normal. Alas, I really don't know where your brain is broken.
Yes, invisibility is so wonderful, but you don’t want it. When you want it, you’re afraid you won’t get it anymore.”
The old liar slapped Zhu Tong on the chest, and a few points of brilliance burst out from the void. The strong zhenqi surged to protect Zhu Tong's heart. The old liar was shocked and took a step back. He held his wrist and shook his head and sighed, as if he had thought of something.
There were some glorious moments, but they were never revealed.
"Do you want to be a shameful and invisible person?" the little liar asked back.
"Hmph! You ignorant thing, if you can cultivate to the state of three hidden and three appearing, who will be your opponent in the world?" The old liar sneered and ignored him again.
Zhu Tong just wanted to say, "It's not like you don't teach me well?" But he felt that it was unnecessary. Is that kind of kung fu really useful? What if he could practice to be as powerful as a bamboo Taoist?
The old liar took the poem and carefully considered it again and again, revised three words, and added Niutou Mountain. The whole scam was freshly baked, and the planning stage was basically completed.
The yin and yang drums shake the cow's spirit, and the dragon's head clouds are hidden in the Zen forest; ——, Xinjin Shengdong Huiquan Mountain.
"The Yin and Yang Drum is the most precious treasure of Taoism. As long as these three words appear on the ancient seal, they can't help but go crazy. Before monk Huiquan retired to hermitage, he once held the seven-leaf lotus, a sacred instrument of Buddhism. It is said that it was the great lama from Tibet.
Obtained from the hands of Kunjia Kammo Dharma King. Kunjia Jiamo Dharma King was the last black hat Dharma king canonized by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He was very powerful. Monk Huiquan defeated Kunjia Jiamo Dharma King in the Snow Valley of Mount Wutai and won the Seven Leaves.
Lian established his status in the Golden Buddha Sect. If the monks know the whereabouts of Huiquan, not only the monks here, but also the lamas from Tibet will come. At that time, hehehehe..."
"Hey hey hey..." The little liar followed the old liar and smiled evilly.
After finishing the conspiracy stuff, it was almost dawn.
"If the boss Zhu Huai was smarter, he wouldn't have fallen into it at all. He is just like your uncle Zhu Huang. He is conservative and traditional but lacks flexibility. He will be a good helper. The second brother Zhu Yun has a long-term vision and a careful mind, but he is not courageous enough.
You are timid in doing things; you are smart, clever and generous, you have a strong chest and know how to advance and retreat, and the most important thing is that you are not selfish or greedy. You are the person who can do great things. With you three senior brothers, I can also be considered as someone who knows Zhumen.
I've confessed." The time has come to say goodbye. The old liar is nostalgic about leaving the world, but what he values more now is home.
"What happens to Zhumen in the future depends entirely on your plan. Hey, I'm very relieved now."
The little liar was startled by the old liar: "What do you mean?"
"You are now the leader of the Zhu Sect. What's the point? Do you think the Phoenix Mask is a toy? Anyone can get it? I will give it to anyone who comes to me for it."
Zhu Tong "popped" and fell from the bed to the ground, staring blankly at the old liar.
