A knife in love

Chapter 553

Li Qiufeng was startled, pondered for a moment, and said: "Naturally, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is at peace."

Situ Qiao smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Li, you can't help but say that? You are no longer a Jin Yiwei, why should you show any face to the emperor?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I am ashamed to say that even though I am a member of the Jinyi Guard, I am only on duty in the Hall of Martial Arts. Today's emperor worships Taoism and seldom comes to the Hall of Martial Arts. Every day, he only has a feast with Zhiyi Zhenren in the harem." .I’m a little Jinyiwei with hundreds of households, how do I know what the emperor wants to do?”

Situ Qiao smiled and said: "Brother Li, what you just said just now is on point. I have heard that the current emperor worships Taoism in the capital, and he uses Taoist priests Shaoyuan Festival. All major court events often have to be fasted in the palace first. Begging for instructions from the Emperor of Heaven. But why does the Emperor worship Taoism?"

Li Qiufeng listened to him peeling off the cocoon, step by step, although there was a clue in his heart, he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.Situ Qiao went on to say: "The greatest wish of the emperor is neither the peace of the country and the peace of the world, nor the smooth weather and the return of the world. After becoming an emperor, there is only one wish, and that is to live forever!"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, just now he had vaguely thought of the words "immortality", but he didn't say it.But I heard Situ Qiao say: "After the emperor ascended the throne of God, all the guests in the world will be served, and no one dares not to obey the emperor's orders. At this stage, he really becomes a lonely family, no parents, no friends, and everything in the world is under his control. Yes What the emperor pursues is to continue this power for thousands of years. Immortality has become the emperor's greatest wish. For example, powerful emperors such as Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong, in their later years, only want to find gods And the elixir of immortality, this is the truth.

"Yao Guangxiao not only wants to be an emperor, but also wants to live forever and live as long as the sky. He took refuge in Zhu Di because he wanted to use Zhu Di's power to find the bones and skeletons needed for the deployment of the army. But he didn't expect Zhu Di to be more sinister than him , actually acted preemptively and almost killed him. After he fled back to the Jingxin Temple under Hutouyan, his hatred became more intense, and he wanted to practice the Yin Formation one day earlier so that he could seek revenge from Zhu Di. But Before the big thing happened, his sister killed him with her own hands."

Li Qiufeng thought that Situ Qiao was always long-winded.Just now, when we clearly talked about immortality and resurrection, why did we go around to the military formation again.Just as he was getting impatient, Situ Qiao continued: "Yao Guangxiao thought that since this yin array can make ghosts attach to the bones, turn the bones into skeleton soldiers, and act like ordinary people. Then if the souls of living people are attached On top of other people's bodies, wouldn't it be possible to bring the dead back to life and live forever..."

When Li Qiufeng heard this, he suddenly realized, he couldn't help but his heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "This, is this the legendary resurrection of the dead?"

Situ Qiao nodded, and said, "That's right. Yao Guangxiao wanted to use the Yin Formation to finally attach his soul to other people's bodies. In this way, even when his body is getting old, he only needs to transfer his soul to other people's bodies. Then you can bring the dead back to life and live forever.”

The more Li Qiufeng heard it, the more frightened he became. Although this matter sounded extremely absurd, he just recalled all the things he saw in the belly of Hutou Rock. Not surprising.

Situ Qiao saw Li Qiufeng's surprised and uncertain expression on his face, knowing that he didn't believe what he said, and was about to say it again.Suddenly Li Qiufeng said: "You are so keen on this matter, I am afraid that you have the same plan as Yao Guangxiao, thinking of immortality?"

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said: "Brother Li, you underestimate me a little. Although I am not a well-educated person full of knowledge, I also know that the reincarnation of heaven has its own reasons. Just like the sun At sunset, flowers bloom in all seasons. If you want to forcibly reverse the cycle of reincarnation, the end will be extremely miserable. Yao Guangxiao is a living example. If he hadn't wished for immortality, with his intelligence, he would definitely be able to become a generation of eminent monks. In the end But he ended up with the fate of fratricide, tragic death in the mountains, and no place to die. I want this map, just want to know whether the reincarnation of heaven has arranged it, or is it purely accidental like flowing water from high to low .”

Hearing his mysterious words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "This man's martial arts are not high, but his thoughts are too tortuous and unpredictable. People just live well, so what's the use of thinking so much?"

But I heard Situ Qiao continue to say: "I figured out the truth of the Yin formation, and saw the incantation written by Yao Guangxiao in the scroll. I was overjoyed, so I thought about giving it a try. It's just that I want to calm the world. Where can I find skeletons? Although I have robbed some ancient tombs, I have never tampered with the remains of the tomb owners. If I were to dig other people's tombs, it would be detrimental to morality, and I would absolutely refuse to do such despicable things. Second, to form a Yin formation, tens of thousands of bones are needed. If you want to dig tombs in the deserted villages, where can you find these many tombs?

"I've been thinking about it, but I can't find anything. It just happened that I accidentally opened a book that night. It said that during the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao fought for the Shangdang in Changping. The Qin State General Bai Qi pitted and killed 40 Zhao Jun. This is the famous Changping War. When I read this article, I didn’t think it was different at first, but after I closed the book, something seemed to come to my mind... "

When he said this, Li Qiufeng sneered and said, "You think of the bones of the 40 Zhao soldiers who were buried alive."

When Li Qiufeng spoke, his words contained sarcasm.Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Situ Qiao didn't change his face, and even said quite proudly: "Exactly. At that time, I thought to myself, it's wonderful. This bastard Bai Qi killed so many people, the bones must still be buried in Chang'an. The underground of the flat battlefield. If I go there, I only need to dig out a few hundred bones, and then use Yao Guangxiao's incantations and Yin array spells to see if I can form a Yin array. If the Yin array is exactly as Yao Guangxiao said If you can make the ghosts attach to the bones, then it proves that this method is effective. I only need to see the power of the Yin formation, and I am satisfied. If I destroy this scroll at that time, it will not fall into the hands of those who hide evil intentions In the hands, it can be done once and for all.”

When he said this, seeing Li Qiufeng's expression of disbelief, he could only sigh and said, "Brother Li, if you don't believe what I say, I have nothing to do. One day, I will teach you that I am not Yao Guangxiao." Such a fool."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, your martial arts are naturally not as good as Yao Guangxiao's, and your talent may also be far behind.It's just that when it comes to ruthlessness, it may not be inferior to him.

Situ Qiao continued: "Since I thought of Changping, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I set off from the capital and headed straight for Shanxi. It's just that more than 1000 years have passed since the Changping War, and even the place name Changping has been lost. After I arrived in Shanxi, I searched around and went all the way to Gaoping. I found some old people in the local area, and I heard from them that it was said that Bai Qi surrounded 40 Zhao troops near Gaoping, and finally defeated the entire Zhao army. Annihilation. It’s just that Bai Qi buried the defeated and surrendered Zhao Jun’s captives. I couldn’t find anything from those old people. Later, I sneaked into the Gaoping County Government and found the Gaoping County Chronicle. I tore out a few pages of the book and took it out of the county office, and went back to the inn to study it carefully. Hehe, I finally discovered the exact location of the Changping War."

Having said this, Situ Qiao took out some papers from his bosom with his right hand, handed them to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, just take a look."

At this time, the two of them had already walked for several miles, and they could see a very high mountain facing them from a distance, presumably it was the Dajia Mountain that the old man just mentioned.The surrounding fields were barren, with dead grass everywhere, and crows would fly over their heads with "dumb" crows from time to time, creating a chilling scene.

Li Qiufeng took the few pieces of paper from Situ Qiao's hand, and the writing on them was very correct.One of them reads: "Zhao Kuo took advantage of the victory to chase to Qinbi, which is the valley of injustice in the present province, and the valley is surrounded by mountains. There is only one road to accommodate chariots and horses. Zhan Yiqin shot and killed 40 people who surrendered to Lord Wu'an and lured them into the valley."

Li Qiufeng nodded when he saw this, and said, "I think you found the battlefield of the Changping War from these words."

Situ Qiao said proudly: "That's right. The Valley of Injustice mentioned in the county annals is next to a village ten miles outside Gaoping City. After I got there, I didn't know that the local people called this valley the Valley of Killing. It is said that Back then, Bai Qi killed tens of thousands of Zhao troops here, and the whole valley turned into a river of blood. When I arrived in the Valley of Killing, it was at dusk. It was cold and windy all around, and it was indescribably eerie. I walked around the valley After walking around, I can see scattered human bones everywhere, as well as some corroded arrowheads and knife blades. I am overjoyed, knowing that I have finally found the battlefield of the Changping War, and the corpse pit where Bai Qikeng killed Zhao Jun must be nearby .That night I stayed at the home of a commoner. Early the next morning, I borrowed a shovel from him and tried to dig near Shagu. This is probably exaggerated. The Qin army and the Zhao army confronted each other, and the two sides attacked each other. The Zhao army died in battle. In the end, they were defeated by Bai Qi. It was not that the soldiers were unable to fight, but that the food road was cut off by the Qin army, and the Zhao army was starving. , In the end, he even ate human flesh, and was unable to fight anymore, so he surrendered to the Qin army. It is expected that the number of Zhao soldiers buried alive by Bai Qi must not be 40. But even so, Bai Qi is really ruthless as a bastard. How much is that Human life, this bastard was buried alive in one night. What is even more frightening is that the corpses of Zhao Jun were buried alive, and Qin Jun deceived Zhao Jun by saying that he would build a long wall and drive Zhao Jun's prisoners to dig it."

Situ Qiao sighed at this point, and then continued: "It's just that the retribution is not good. After the death of Qin Shihuang, the world was in chaos. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, led tens of thousands of Chu troops, and Qin's generals Zhang Han and Wang Li had 40 troops. The main force of the Qin army fought in Julu. Xiang Yu broke the boat and led the Chu army to attack the Qin army, wiped out Wangli's army, and killed more than 20 Qin people. Eight months later, he forced Zhang Han to lead the 20 Qin army to surrender. Xiang Yu was worried about this. The 20 Qin army rebelled, and they killed all of the 40 Qin army overnight, leaving only Zhang Han and other generals of the Qin army to act as guides for the Chu army to attack Xianyang. If Bai Qi has a spirit underground, he knows [-] The tens of thousands of Qin troops were like Zhao Jun in Changping, who were either killed or buried by Xiang Yu, leaving no one behind, I wonder if he regretted that he was too vicious back then."
