Infinite Script Killing

At the dinner table in Lianshan County Yamen, the aroma of wine overflowed. Huo Wuji had a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil.

At the same time, Li Xi and the others did not forget to toast Xu Tong.

Xu Tong drank happily, patted the arms of Huo Wuji and others and said: "We are all brothers. When we go back this time, we dare not say anything else. From now on, we can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas as we please. We share the blessings and share the hardships. Cheers!"

"Thank you, Brother Ma. I will follow you to the death!"

Huo Wuji was a rough man. He was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it.

The arrival of Huo Wuji and the others naturally made Xu Tong feel surprised, but also felt an indescribable melancholy.

In the previous script world, except for Huo Wuji, Li Xi and the other three were his biggest enemies. Now that their identities have been reversed, Li Xi and the gang of scourges who brought trouble to the world actually sit with him and call themselves brothers.

I have to sigh, things are changing, and this year it’s coming to my house.

Lianshan County is poor in resources, so there is naturally no place to entertain people with good wine or meat. Fortunately, Li Xi is not bad at craftsmanship and cooks chickens for everyone to enjoy.

As for Yang Gongjing, she didn't take the three of them seriously. Anyway, we were short of manpower now, so one more person would be more helpful.

They were enjoying themselves here, but little did they know that the wind in the court was already tense.

It turned out that Yang Gongjing's memorial immediately caused a chaos after it was delivered to the court.

People of the new school of thought took this opportunity to criticize in the court. The theory of ghosts and gods is pure nonsense and charlatans. At the same time, it is an excuse to play on the topic. The strict imperial examination system is outdated and decadent. The world only knows how to study hard and has no clue about the facts. It is useless and should be abolished.

While refuting the old ministers, he also proposed new policies and strategies to establish industry and commerce, promote new learning, and build a new army.

Because of this incident, the court was completely blown away.

"Your Majesty, these students just don't know where the sky is from the ground, and the policies they pursue are all nonsense. I sincerely ask the prince to come to the palace. No matter what, we can't let these idiots continue to delay the country and the country."

The ministers in the court who had been refuted red-faced were gathering in Prince Gong's palace at this time. However, unlike the numb and angry expressions in the court, these ministers were calm and calm at this moment. In words, he hoped that Prince Gong would take up the responsibility of assisting the prince as soon as possible, but his demeanor was neither hasty nor slow, and even his words became fluent.

For example, the speaker at this moment is Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The new students in the court refuted him to no avail. At that time, Li Jian was slurring his words, so angry that he was out of breath, and looked like he was going to faint at any moment.

Even the Emperor of Datong frowned when he saw it, wondering how this old waste climbed to this position.

But now that my hands are not shaking, my eyes are not blurry, and I have a cup of fragrant tea, I can't find the embarrassment in the court today.

Just listen to him continue: "If you don't take care of it, Your Majesty, the old minister will not be able to take care of the Hubu family. In the end, this burden will fall, so you might as well hire someone else."

Prince Gong glanced at him, and he was already very angry, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile on his face: "Haha, Master Li, what are you talking about? It's just... Xiao Wang has only shallow qualifications after all, and it's time for the emperor to show his talents. I Coming forward is counterproductive.”

"Then I won't bother you to step forward, but when trouble occurs, don't blame me and other veterans. Mud can't hold up a wall."

Another veteran wearing a first-class court official's coat stood up and said angrily.

Prince Gong's face suddenly turned cold. Fortunately, Li Jian quickly waved his hand: "Nonsense, what are you talking about? We ministers, after all, are subjects of the unification, who live on the emperor's salary and worry about the country. How can you be such a child's play, sit down."

After Li Jian finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Prince Gong. Seeing the unkind look on Prince Gong's face, he immediately smiled: "Long live the Lord, naturally he is full of energy, but it seems that he has gone in the wrong direction. I and other veterans must also serve the late emperor." , think about the country."

After speaking, he took out a memorial and handed it to Prince Gong: "I'm not here to embarrass the prince, but to ask him to prepare for a rainy day."

After saying that, Li Jian and others stood up and left.

The group of people came and left in a hurry. The butler came up and started to curse: "These old guys must be out of their minds. They were scolded bloody by several students in the court, and they came here to show off. I'm tired of living, my lord..."

As soon as the butler turned around, his heart skipped a beat, he immediately shut his mouth and stood aside honestly.

I saw Prince Gong looking at the memorial in his hand, a smile appeared on his face for a moment, he picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand.

Then he looked up and saw the butler who was afraid to speak. He waved his hand and motioned for the butler to come forward. When the butler moved his head forward, Prince Gong raised his hand and slapped the butler on the face.

"Haha, you are such an idiot..." Prince Gong pointed at the butler and opened his mouth. In the end, he really didn't know how to explain to this idiot, so he could only wave his hand: "Forget it, I can't explain to you, I can only understand. It cannot be expressed in words.”

After saying that, he sent the butler off, but then he thought of something and said, "Come back!"

"Your Majesty!"

The butler came back with a confused look on his face.

"Isn't Xiang Gongbao back? I sent someone to leave a message for him and said I would treat him to dinner."

After Prince Gong finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the myna, teasing the myna with his fingers: "Come, call the emperor..."

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Gongjing finally waited for the approval from the court, asking them to bring evidence and return to Beijing to report their work.

At the same time, he also ordered the local magistrate to bring people to reinforce him.

So a large group of people rushed to Xiang Lianshan Temple again. This time without the interference of Zhao Xusen, everyone saw the rotting corpses on the ground as soon as they entered.

Xu Tong and others stood behind calmly. Seeing that the officers and soldiers continued to walk, they quickly reminded Yang Gongjing in a low voice that it was here that they fell into someone's spell last time.

Yang Gongjing is confident this time. She got it right here last time, so she won't make the same mistake again this time.

He took out his compass and compared it carefully for a moment, then signaled the officers and soldiers to smash open the broken Buddha statue. The officers and soldiers didn't know what they were doing, but after they smashed it open, they found that there was nothing inside, so they could only smash it open. He looked at Yang Gongjing suspiciously.

"Huh, that's it!"

Yang Gongjing stepped forward and dug through the rocks a few times, then picked up one of the stone pipes in her hand. The stone pipe had been smashed, and it was precisely because of the smashing that you could see the stone made of it. There are actually many uneven places in the tube.

Yang Gongjing carefully held the stone pipe in her hand. After carefully identifying it, she gently blew on it. Xu Tong raised his brows slightly and clearly heard the strange sound.

And everyone around them was in a daze for no reason.

"Sir, is this some kind of spell?"

Li Xi stepped forward and asked, staring at the stone tablet in Yang Gongjing's hand.

"Idiot, this is not a spell, this is a kind of evil writing called ghost scripture."

Yang Gongjing looked at Li Xi with contempt. Although she hated the little eunuch, she had to say that the little eunuch's stupidity could only set off her extraordinary knowledge.

He explained to everyone: "The theory of Ghost Scripture first appeared in the Western Regions. According to rumors, there is a ghost country in an extremely remote place in the Western Regions. This country has no writing. They leave their voices on the stone walls, and the wind blows gently. , the voice on the stone tablet will come alive, and the voice will be read to future generations."

"The sound is left on the stone, how is this possible??"

Li Xi couldn't believe it and thought it was nonsense.

Xu Tong picked up a broken stone pipe and fumbled around with it. He felt that there were indeed dense dents on the stone pipe, and he understood immediately.

"Master Yang, does the ghost scripture you are talking about have the same principle as the foreign gramophone?"

Yang Gongjing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded: "It's almost the same, but this one is more advanced, because it only needs wind to make noise, and I once heard Mr. Jianzheng say that top masters can The sound can be controlled within the range that ordinary people cannot hear, and can even be engraved on the utensils that are carried around. Then it only takes a wisp of breeze to cause hallucinations."

Yang Gongjing mentioned a real case, which happened during the reign of Emperor Jing.

There was an old gentleman in the academy who taught seriously, but could not tolerate disdain in his eyes. One of the students was expelled from the school because he was late. The student held a grudge, stole the old man's jade pendant, and secretly burned a ghost scripture on it. .

I returned the thing the next day. There were no fonts in the Ghost Scripture, only potholes of varying depths. You couldn't tell if you didn't look carefully.

The old gentleman went out to teach with a jade pendant, but when he was walking halfway, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw his friend who had been with him for many years. So he stepped forward, but as a result, he stepped on something empty. , slipped and fell into the river and drowned.

After the old gentleman died, the jade pendant ended up in the market for some unknown reason. After several transactions, it finally fell into the hands of a butcher. The butcher loved the jade pendant so much that he couldn't bear to take it with him every day and wrapped it in a cloth bag.

One day he couldn't bear it any longer, so he put on the jade pendant. As soon as he put on the jade pendant, he heard someone outside calling him to kill a pig. So the butcher picked up the butcher's knife and walked out. Sure enough, he saw a big fat pig.

When the butcher saw the big fat pig coming towards him, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward and stabbed the pig in the neck.

Then he started cutting the pig and meat on the spot.

When the official came, I couldn't bear to look at the scene. The official grabbed the butcher and pinned him to the ground. At this time, the jade pendant just fell off. The butcher stared and realized that the pig he killed was clearly a human being. .

This man was already torn to pieces by him, and the butcher himself was disgusted by the scene.

When Yang Gongjing said this, she suddenly sneered: "The person killed by the butcher was the student who caused the trouble. As the saying goes, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly got goosebumps all over their bodies. When they looked at the broken stone pipes on the ground, they were all filled with fear. Only Xu Tong stood behind and said in a voice he could hear: "Believe me, you idiot, old man." The guy is very bad..."
