Tibet

Chapter 196 Regaining the Legacy

The Taoist ceremony was long and complicated, lasting for an hour. Just when everyone's patience was about to run out, the ceremony ended abruptly. Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and left one after another, including more than a hundred distinguished guests. There was no intention of gathering for lunch, so the Taoist Zhike sent everyone out through the side door.

However, the VIPs gained a little more than the ordinary spectators. Each of them received a small brocade box, which contained a palm-sized peach wood sword, which was engraved with evil talismans and was suitable for hanging in the room of the elderly or children.

It can be seen that everyone is still very satisfied with this small gift. The VIPs are not short of money, but they all need a sense of security.

At this time, a Taoist priest came forward and whispered to Li Ye: "The master of the temple invites the young master to come to the backyard to talk!"

Li Ye nodded, "Go right away!"

He stepped forward, cupped his fists at Gao Xianzhi and said with a smile, "Is Marshal Gao going back now?"

Gao Xianzhi nodded, "Go back and pack up. We will set off before dawn tomorrow. Mr. Li, we will meet in Anxi."

"Have a safe trip, Gao Shuai!"

Gao Xianzhi chuckled and said, "I wish you a safe journey. Remember, don't meddle in other people's business on the road, otherwise I won't be able to see you until next year."

"Junior, remember!"

After Gao Xianzhi left, Li Yu, the prince of Hanzhong County, stepped forward and patted Li Ye's arm and said, "We met Ming Song yesterday. I guess he wants to talk to you. Let me say a word to you, 'Follow nature and the water will come. Then it will work', remember! Remember!"

Although Li Ye didn't understand the meaning of this snake oil-like motto, Li Yu was sincere and took good care of himself.

"Li Ye will bear in mind the teachings of our seniors!"

Li Yu laughed, "You don't understand now, but you will understand in the future!"

He waved to Li Ye, turned around and drifted away.

Li Ye watched the two of them go away, and then followed the Taoist priest into the deep courtyard of the Taoist temple.

After turning so many corners and entering so many doors, they came to a small courtyard. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "This is the temple master's place of pure cultivation. We can't go in. Sir, please come in!"

Li Ye walked into the small courtyard and saw Master Mingsong, wearing a purple fairy cave robe, wandering in the courtyard.

Li Ye looked at the yard again. The yard was full of vegetables and fruits. There was a bean shed in one corner, and there were three thatched huts next to it. Li Ye suddenly found that this place looked very familiar, and it looked very much like Lie Feng's small courtyard.

"You guessed it right, this place is decorated according to the old residence in the palace!"

Master Mingsong turned around and said with a smile: "Feilong used to live in a courtyard like this, and later moved to the Star Observation Tower."

Li Ye cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations to the real person today!"

Mingsong smiled and said, "I'm too busy today. I'm neglecting you, sir. Please sit down!"

Li Ye stepped forward and sat down on the stone bench, while Master Mingsong sat on the other side. He was silent for a moment and said, "We went to Wuting River to worship the flying dragon yesterday and discovered something strange."

"What's so strange?" Li Ye asked curiously.

"Wuting River has been renamed Feilong River and is designated as a royal forbidden garden. No one is allowed to fish in the river, and people are not allowed to live along the river. But the strange thing is that there is not a single fish in the river."

Li Ye smiled and said nothing. He knew before the spring hunting that there were very few fish in Wuting River. It was related to the water quality being too clear and had nothing to do with the flying dragon. But Mingsong and the others obviously didn't know and thought it was a strange phenomenon.

"Last time the Prince of Hanzhong County told me that there were six disciples of Master Feilong. I only know Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi and Li Yu. Who are the other three?"

"The other one is the consort Yang Hui, the other is Xue Xiu, the brother-in-law of the former crown princess, and there is a barbarian whose name I don't want to mention. Feilong has expelled him from the school, so don't ask."

Li Ye nodded, "It seems that the incident of former crown prince Li Ying is related to Zhenren Feilong?"

Mingsong smiled bitterly and said: "How could it not be related? Feilong ordered Xue Xiu to persuade Li Ying to launch a palace coup. Later, he found that Li Ying could not control it and would harm his own interests, so he asked Yang Hui to inform him, and Li Ying was The emperor will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"But Xue Xiu is also dead!"

"It was just an accident. Feilong left a way for him, but he was dragged by Li Ying and had no time to retreat. In the end, he had to choose to commit suicide."

Although Mingsong spoke in an understatement, Li Ye seemed to have seen the intrigues and bloodshed at that time, and also saw the various methods Feilong went to great lengths to seize the throne.

He even encouraged the former prince to launch a palace coup. When he found out that Li Ying could not succeed, he did not hesitate to report him and let his disciples be buried with him.

Feilong was actually a failed time traveler. After struggling for half his life, he finally achieved nothing. He left a mess to himself and kept claiming that he was his descendant.

Pass what? Are you going to continue messing around like him?

Li Ye stood up and said calmly to Ming Song: "If the real person has nothing else to do, I will go back first!"

"Don't leave in a hurry yet!"

Mingsong said quickly: "I came to you not to talk about this, but to tell you the biggest secret of Feilong."

Li Ye shook his head secretly. Only he knew Feilong's biggest secret. What other secrets could he have?

Mingsong took out a flat box from his arms and handed it to Li Ye, "Feilong asked me to give this to his disciple or successor. I have been thinking about it for a year. Your performance in Shuofang is enough to prove your extraordinary, so I decided to give it to you." .”

Li Ye took the box. It looked like a pack of cigarettes in later generations, but it was cast into a seamless gold box that could only be cut open with a knife.

Li Ye had an intuition for a long time. Feilong had been struggling for half his life to seize the throne. It was impossible to leave only the little things in Taipingfang. He must have a secret treasure house.

At this moment, Li Ye suddenly realized that the box in front of him was the real legacy of Fei Long.

Originally, he had no interest in the matter of flying dragons, but the appearance of this gold box reignited Li Ye's interest.

"What's inside?"

"It's the blueprint for opening the Qiaoling Mausoleum!"

Li Ye was startled, "Qiaoling!"

Master Mingsong nodded, "You should know that Qiao Tomb is only the secret of Ruizhong Yiguan Tomb, but even Yiguan Tomb contains countless wealth. No one in the Tang Dynasty dared to dig Qiao Tomb, but there is a secret passage to get in.

Feilong said that if one day you need to raise soldiers, you can transport the wealth inside from the secret passage. But if you don't need to raise soldiers, don't open it. The wealth in the secret room of Taipingfang will be enough for you to enjoy it for a lifetime. "

"How many people know about the Qiaoling incident? Does the emperor know about it?"

Master Mingsong hesitated for a moment and said: "Except for me, everyone else who knew about it is basically dead, and the emperor doesn't know about it either."

Li Ye saw the hesitation in his eyes. Master Mingsong didn't tell the truth, at least not fully. He still had something to hide from himself. I'm afraid someone else knew the secret.

This gold box should be Feilong's legacy, but it's more like a hot potato.

Li Ye shook his head and returned the gold box to him, "Let's give it to Feilong's disciples! Gao Xianzhi and Li Yu are more suitable to inherit his legacy."

Master Mingsong didn't answer, turned around and left.

His ethereal words came from outside the hospital, "Gao Xianzhi said you wanted to travel to the Western Regions. I knew it was God's will!"

After leaving Xuandu Temple, Li Ye came to the Taipingfang Mansion. The house was guarded by an old couple. They were said to be an old couple, but they were actually in their forties. They also had an eight-year-old granddaughter. Their surname was Kou, who was originally For the neighbors of the old house in Yonghefang, Li Ye pays them three guan of money every month. They don't have to rent a house, and they can live a very good life with three guan of money.

The house in Taipingfang was lived by his father Li Dai and his mother Pei Sanniang, and the three rooms to the east were lived by Li Ye. Li Dai and Pei Sanniang also knew that their son had a secret. They never went to Li Ye's room, and the door there was always locked.

Li Ye got the door and study keys from a secret place on the roof, and opened the door and study door. Next to the study was the secret room. He had not been there for half a year, and the secret room mechanism had long been restored to its original state.

Li Ye entered the secret room and carefully put the arrows back into the mechanism box. After returning to their original state, the poisonous arrows would be redeployed. I really don’t know how the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty invented this ingenious mechanism, but any mechanism requires kinetic energy. This set The kinetic energy of the mechanism comes from a copper shaft on the bookshelf. You need to use a tool to turn the copper shaft about a hundred times. The tool is a socket wrench.

Li Ye put the gold flat box on the iron shelf in the secret room together with the two thousand banknotes given to him by his grandfather. Li Ye did not need money. He had a salary. Although he was not an official, he was only a casual official of a guerrilla general. This is a bit similar to being on leave without pay, as casual officials have no salary.

But Li Ye has a title. He is a high-ranking Duke from the second-grade county. Logically, he should be granted land, which is called a real title. However, the court has no extra land for a long time. If there is no title land, it can only be given a salary. He has 24 guan of money per month and 460 shi of rice per year. In addition, the family also has 5 guan of money per month, which is enough for his monthly expenses.

Li Ye plans to travel to Anxi next month. This trip will take at least a year. He also needs to get some things from the secret room. The first is the Tiance Bow. The Luo Shixin Sirius Bow he used before feels a little soft. The Tiance Bow is a two-stone bow, which he can use just right now.

The second is the armor-piercing sword. His sword can only be regarded as an entry-level weapon.

Daoshan is very good at beheading horses and killing people, but he is a little weak when it comes to fighting fierce generals. He is not strong enough and can be easily broken. He can only rely on speed and skill to kill the enemy.

The armor-piercing spear is different. The head of the spear is broad and heavy. It can be chopped and stabbed, but because it is heavy enough, it can fight with the enemy general's heavy weapons.

Li Ye hesitated for a moment, then put the armor-breaking gun back on the iron stand. There was a line of words clearly engraved on it, Li Shimin's gun, it can be used as a collection, but there is no need to use it as a weapon. Li Ye didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

After thinking about it, he took out the 2,000-guan cash box note and the gold box. He would not be in Chang'an for a long time. If the emperor ordered someone to open the secret room and find the gold box, he would be in big trouble.

As for the counter tickets, I still have to play for Gao Lishi, so I will definitely have income, so I simply put the counter tickets with my grandfather.

Li Ye buried the gold box deep under a big tree in the backyard and covered it with a stone slab, which was one meter and a half deep. No one would dig it that deep anyway.

Li Ye then took the Tiance Bow and left the secret room, returning to the Imperial Academy.
