Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 105
They had just walked halfway when a thin old man with white hair and a white beard that stretched to the ground rushed out from the end of the road. Because his beard was too long, he stepped on his own beard every few steps, and he ran in a very embarrassing situation. .

Seeing the destruction of the elaborate mechanism, Master Kang jumped up angrily, "You guys destroyed all my organs! Go away! Let me go! I don't want to see you!"

"Your exact words are that it's okay to ask you to answer your questions! As long as you walk this road, you didn't say how to go, and you didn't say that you can't destroy the mechanism. Master Kang, you must keep your promises, and you can't go back on your word!"

Feng Jin said coldly, Master Kang was so choked that he couldn't speak, his dry face flushed, he stomped his feet hard, but accidentally stepped on his own beard, almost fell on his back
Feng Jin saw the opportunity, and gave Master Kang the next step at the right time, "Master Kang, I came here all night, just to ask Master some questions, and ask Master to show me some face."

As an emperor, with such a low posture, Master Kang's face finally looked a little better. He snorted softly, turned around and walked in.

Seeing this, Feng Jin knew that he had agreed, and hurriedly followed him inside.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Feng Jin suddenly realized that there was a small open space in the mountain. Surrounding the open space were peaks soaring into the clouds. This open space was hidden among the surrounding mountains. , if Master Kang hadn't personally brought them in, they wouldn't have discovered this place at all.

A wooden house was built on the open space. It was still dark at this time. From the candles in the wooden house and a few scattered lights outside, you can see the degree of wear and tear of the wood. From this, it can be deduced that Master Kang lives here. It has been decades at least.

There is a small field next to the house, where there are green vegetables, and there is an empty space. It is probably winter, and the autumn harvest has already been harvested, waiting for the next spring to sow seeds.

Seeing Master Kang walking with his beard in the way, Feng Jin lowered his voice and asked Shen Wenqing, "How old is this Master Kang?"

Just as Shen Wenqing was about to answer, Master Kang, who was walking in front, turned around, "Ask me directly if you have any questions, what do you ask others for?"

Feng Jin was silent, and asked, "Then, Master, is your birthday this year?"

Master Kang glanced at Feng Jin, curled his lips, and scratched his neck, "I won't tell you!"

Feng Jin was a little speechless, it seemed that this master was really weird, the old man's body hid a child's heart.

No wonder some people say that old children are old children. They all say that people will become like children when they get old. This is really the truth.

Seeing Feng Jin stopped talking, Master Kang muttered softly again, "Okay, seeing that you want to know so much, let me tell you."

Feng Jin was even more speechless, she really wanted to say something: I was just asking casually, I didn't really want to know that much!

But after thinking about it, it's better to follow Master Kang and not confront him.

Master Kang began to count on his fingers, counting back and forth, he frowned and looked at Feng Jin, "How many years has Dayan been dead?"

"32 years!"

Master Kang showed a confused look on his face, "It's been 32 years so quickly? I really don't know the years in the mountains. It's been more than 30 years in a flash."

"I was Xuanyuan Miao who escaped from the imperial capital in the third year when he became emperor. I was 60 years old that year. Oh, Xuanyuan Miao has been emperor for 20 years. Seventeen plus 32 plus sixty equals... equals..."

He counted with his fingers for a long time but couldn't figure it out, Feng Jin smiled and said, "One hundred and nine."

"Oh, I'm already one hundred and nine years old. I can't believe that I'm still alive at this age. Those who don't want to die are dead, but those who want to die are still alive and well."

Feng Jin heard that there seemed to be other meanings in his words, and asked curiously, "Who is Master talking about?"

"what?"

"I don't want to die..."

"As for Xuanyuan Miao, the subjugated emperor of Dayan, he built a mausoleum for himself as soon as he ascended the throne. It is said that he heard some alchemist say that there are dragon veins under that land, and if he builds a mausoleum there, he will live a long life. , Tell me, with his body hollowed out by wine and sex, even if the country is not subjugated, he will not live for a few years."

"The master just said that Xuanyuan Miao escaped from the imperial capital in the third year of his reign. Why did he escape from the imperial capital? Where is the master's family?"

"All dead!"

Master Kang's old face was very calm, Feng Jin was silent, "I'm sorry, I, I..."

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't kill people."

Master Kang's tone was calm, he glanced at Feng Jin, "I know you want to ask who killed it."

Feng Jin was a little speechless, I really didn't want to ask!
"Let me tell you, Xuanyuan Miao killed him!"

Master Kang probably stayed alone for too long and was too bored, so he talked to Feng Jin endlessly, "When he came to the throne, he built a mausoleum. There are actually two mausoleums, one real and one of course." It is used to confuse the world. But both mausoleums hide a lot of organs. He asked me to design organs for his mausoleum. I reasoned that I was sick and declined. No."

"But what I didn't expect was that even if I refused, I wouldn't be able to survive. Someone close to Xuanyuan Miao had received my favor and secretly sent a little eunuch to tell me that Xuanyuan Miao was going to kill my whole family. I was drinking tea outside. After learning about this, I rushed home, but it was too late. I just walked to the alley where my house is located, when I heard screams. I hid in the dark and waited for everyone to leave before returning home. My wife , two sons, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, more than a dozen domestic servants, all fell in a pool of blood, all dead."

"Later, I escaped from the pursuit of the soldiers, escaped from the imperial capital, and hid here. Later, Xuanyuan Miao asked a mechanism engineer to design mechanisms for his mausoleum. It took 18 years to build the two mausoleums. All the craftsmen and mechanics were buried alive inside, and none of them escaped. Fortunately, I didn't promise him at the beginning, otherwise, those mechanics would be my end."

Having said that, his expression became sentimental and bewildered, "Speaking of which, what's the difference between me and them now? I'm not as good as them, at least their family members survived."

Feng Jin remained silent, the throne gave too much power to an emperor, so that if the emperor was a tyrant, the people would be in dire straits.

Master Kang didn't say anything else, and led them into the wooden house. The candles in the room were brightly lit, illuminating the faces of the three of them.

Master Kang's gaze passed Feng Jin and landed on Wuming's face. The expression on his face was first confused, then shocked.

"what happened?"

Feng Jin asked a very simple question, but Master Kang seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, and he spoke quickly, "No, it's nothing."

When he said this, he secretly glanced at Wuming again, Wuming's eyes darkened, "Master has been looking at me like this, is there something wrong?"

"Your appearance is a bit like a person I've seen before, especially your eyes. It's even more similar when you look at people, but it's impossible. I heard that all the members of that family are dead."

Wuming's eyes flashed, "Who?"

Master Kang didn't answer, and didn't ask them to sit down, so he sat down first.

The furniture in the room is very simple, all made of wood, it doesn't look like the room of a master craftsman, but rather like the room of an ordinary carpenter.

Wuming looked around the room and said coldly, "There are traps everywhere in this room, please Master Kang to turn off the switch, lest we stumble into something by mistake and damage the things in the room."

"What if I don't turn it off?"

Master Kang's words indirectly admitted that there are many agencies ambush in this room.

Shen Wenqing wanted to sit down, but before his butt touched the chair, he stood up immediately. He still remembered the experience of crossing the stone road before, so he didn't want to have more holes in his body.

Wuming glanced at Master Kang blankly, "If you don't close it, in order to protect His Majesty's safety, I have to do the previous thing again! By then, Master Kang, you will not only build roads, but also build another house .”

Master Kang's face swelled into a pig's liver, and he muttered a foul word in a low voice. He pressed a certain part of his seat lightly, and there was a rattling sound in the room.

All the furniture receded as if they had grown feet, countless cracks appeared on the walls and the floor, the previous furniture disappeared quickly, and a new set of furniture came out immediately.

"Okay! There is no mechanism now!"

Master Kang said angrily, Feng Jin held back a smile, sat down opposite Master Kang, and took out the jade pendant, "Master, please show me this thing, is it a key?"

Master Kang reluctantly picked up the jade pendant, looked at it casually, and as he watched, his expression gradually changed.
