The heavens start from Maoshan

Strange to say, the fire seemed to have eyes, and it only burned the dowry brought by Shi Niang and the renovated courtyard.

The Ning family was in chaos.

Ning Caichen even came to Zhang Heng personally: "Brother Zhang, there is a fire at home, please help quickly."

Zhang Heng shook his head: "This is the demon fire. I can save it, but I can't save it. The old frog has already counted that his daughter has been wronged. This is to take away everything Shi Niang brought and let you go back to the old days. I It's not suitable to intervene."

Day two.

Looking at the messy Ning Mansion, Ning's mother couldn't afford to get sick.

Zhang Heng used water talisman to treat him, and asked, "Today is just like the past, has the old lady ever regretted it?"

Ning's mother was angry and said angrily: "My Ning family passes on poems and books to the family. The daughter raised by the old frog can't serve her parents-in-law. Can't I say it? Burn it, let him burn it. I think the gold and silver he sent are too expensive." Dirty, I am ashamed to pass it on to my children and grandchildren."

Zhang Heng said no more.

the next few days.

The Ning family was impoverished, and it returned to the way it used to be. Every day, there was little water in the soup, and there was no meat.

In the past few months, Ning's mother was used to eating afternoon tea and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ning Caichen saw it, and went out with the hen in his arms, but he waited until night, but the hen in his arms was not sold.

And compared to Mother Ning, brother Ning Caichen has more complaints.

Blaming his mother for not knowing what is good or bad, it is already a blessing in eight lifetimes that Ning Caichen can marry a wife like Shiniang.

If it were him, he would have wished to be worshiped as a Bodhisattva, but he would always agree to what he asked for, and Ning's mother actually went to trouble Shi Niang. Isn't this making herself uncomfortable.

Ning's mother had nothing to say, looking at Ning Caichen who was getting thinner and thinner, she felt very regretful in her heart.

It's a pity that people from the Qingfu went to Loukong, and no one knew where Shi Niang went. Ning Caichen searched for it for several days, but found nothing.

Forced to helplessness, Ning's mother could only come to the backyard again, and begged Zhang Heng: "My greed covers my eyes, like a dark cloud covering the sun. Now that I think about it, I regret it. Since Shi Niang married into my Ning family, we have suffered so much. Qien, Caichen misses his wife even more every day, and doesn't think about food and drink, it's all my fault, and I won't do it again."

Zhang Heng sighed: "Not deaf or dumb, not a family member, Ning Caichen and Shi Niang have a very good relationship, let them live their lives, as a mother, why bother to meddle. "

After finishing speaking, he said: "Before Qinggong left, he asked me to take care of Shi Niang for a while. I know where she is now, but I have something to say first. This kind of thing can never be separated. If there is another time, I will not take care of her." I'll take care of it."

Mother Ning thanked her repeatedly.

Zhang Heng called Ning Caichen and said to him: "Qingfu is seven li to the west, and there is a stone bridge. Ten Niang has nowhere to go, so she lives under the bridge. Whether you can bring her back is up to you. "

Ning Caichen hurried over.

But when I got under the bridge, I checked left and right, but there was no one there.

Ning Caichen was impatient, so he could only shout: "Ten Niangs, Ten Niangs!"

quack! !

A red frog jumped out of the river.

But after a moment of hesitation, the red frog dived back into the water, looking at Ning Caichen with only two eyes exposed.

Ning Caichen is just an ordinary person, so there are no clues.

I saw that after shouting for a long time, Shi Niang didn't come out to meet him. She thought that Shi Niang already hated him, and couldn't help feeling sad: "Shi Niang, Shi Niang, how can I live without you."

Seeing Ning Caichen crying bitterly.

Ten Niang couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of the water, turned into a human form, hugged Ning Caichen and wept: "Caichen, I also hate you, but now I can't find my father, and I am hated by your mother." , what can I do if I don’t leave?”

Thinking of these days, Shi Niang has been living under the bridge hole, homeless.

Ning Caichen cried in the dark, and blamed himself very much: "I was busy studying all day, and I couldn't stand in the middle. It was my fault to handle the relationship between you and your mother. I also saw through it. Instead of wasting time with fantasies all day long, it's better to obey the destiny and live a good life with you at home."

That night, Ning Caichen took Ten Niang home.

Seeing Shi Niang come back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that Shi Niang had no money left, so she had no choice but to pawn the jewelry on her body and return it in exchange for a hundred taels of silver.

This amount of money, of course, cannot be compared with before.

However, it is enough for the two of them to rent a shop and sell some pens, inks, papers and inkstones to survive. Although they are not rich and wealthy, they are enough to live comfortably.

call! !

Zhang Heng is meditating in the attic.

Suddenly, the paper frog on the table ignited without fire and turned into a puff of green smoke.

The green smoke condensed and did not disperse, and gradually turned into the form of an old man. He saluted Zhang Heng: "My little girl has made the real person bother."

"No problem."

Zhang Heng was expressionless: "What's going on with Qing Gong?"

"I have found out that Pudu Cihang came from the Western Regions, came from the Great Compassion Temple, and is the current Dharma King of the Great Compassion Temple."

"Shi Jing, the censor of the left supervisor, recommended her to come to the capital to speak in the name of the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday."

"After the speaking conference, the Empress Dowager took a fancy to her and gave her a badge for walking in the palace, and was elected as a national teacher by the emperor not long after."

"Of course, this is on the surface. In secret, Shi Jing, the censor of the left supervisor, is a registered disciple of Zen Master Hongye of Xiangguo Temple. Purdue Cihang became a national teacher. There is a Buddhist sect to help."

"And after Pudu Cihang became the national teacher, many conferred demon kings disappeared. I'm afraid..."

Qing Muhai didn't say any more about the latter words.

After a moment of silence, Qing Muhai frowned a little: "I just don't know what their purpose is."

......

ps: There is a second update in the early morning, which is also [-] words long.

Chapter 199: A Demon Is a Demon

purpose?

Zhang Heng frowned slightly.

It is not surprising that Purdue Cihang has a Buddhist background.

Because Pudu Cihang has always been dressed as a Tantric monk, and the moves used are also close to Buddhism.

But say the purpose.

In the movie, the purpose of Purdue Cihang is to absorb the Qi of the dynasty dragon and transform into a dragon, but this is the purpose of Purdue Cihang, not Buddhism.

What is the purpose of Buddhism?

Zhang Heng thought of the chaotic world, the sects that swept the snow in front of their gates, and the enfeoffed demon kings from all over the world who were constantly being slaughtered. A light flashed in Zhang Heng's mind: "Help the real dragon, and open the wind of the Southern Dynasty!"

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

Because the king of Nanliang was close to Buddhism, Buddhism flourished in the Southern Dynasties, and officials from all over the country liked him, and many temple towers were built.

According to the description in 【Research on the Temples of the Southern Dynasties】, there are 840 temples in Liang Shihe, and there are more than 110 temples in Duxia (Nanjing), including [-] large temples and [-] nine small temples.

Within ten miles, there must be a temple.

For a trip of ten people, there must be one monk.

Of course, whether the ratio between monks and ordinary people has reached 1:10 or whether it has been exaggerated is difficult to trace now.

But the prosperity of Buddhism is true. In the middle and late stages, all places are controlled by temples. Before officials take office, they have to go to the temple to fast for seven days. Otherwise, you will not be able to be an official and the people will not support you.

The so-called prosperity and decline, after the peak of worshiping Buddhism in Nanliang (546), internal chaos soon followed, and then the Northern Zhou Dynasty went south, and Emperor Wu of Zhou exterminated Buddhism (573).

"It's no wonder Pudu Cihang, a monster, can be a national teacher in the capital."

"In addition to his own strength, the Buddhist sect may also contribute a lot. This is to use Purdue Cihang to destroy the luck of the Dasong Dynasty, and then support the real dragon to aspire to the world."

After a rough thought, Zhang Heng found that the plan of the Buddhist sect was very similar to that of Cihang Jingzhai in the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

It's all bad luck of the dynasty, supporting the new real dragon to ascend the throne, so as to achieve their own political goals.

In this way, in this plan, the forces belonging to the Song Dynasty were naturally the first to be eliminated.

Great Confucianists of Confucianism, frontier generals who mastered martial arts, demon kings conferred by the dynasty, and even some sects close to the Song Dynasty.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, in A Chinese Ghost Story 2, in a prison in a certain city, there is a doctorate and a great scholar Zhuge Wolong.

According to him, he was arrested because he helped a general write a book and set up a biography.

But Zhang Heng is now very skeptical that this accusation is true. It kills two birds with one stone. The rebellion is false, and the implication is also false.

And behind Zhuge Wolong and that general, there may be more great Confucians and generals arrested, with the purpose of weakening the high-level combat power of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking hard.

Purdue Cihang entered the court hall and devoured the dragon's energy, just what happened right now.

But this bureau, I am afraid that it started to be arranged ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even ten years ago.

Today, it is nothing but a matter of course.

Purdue Cihang is the lore piece, not the first move, and there is more hidden in A Chinese Ghost Story 2.

But thinking of this, Zhang Heng has another doubt.

What role does the Taoist gate play in this plan? Have you seen through the layout of the Buddhist gate?

There should be.

In A Chinese Ghost Story 2, Pudu Cihang finally died in the hands of Yan Chixia and Yiye Zhiqiu of the Kunlun School.

The Kunlun School is the Taoist leader of the Liaozhai world, and is said to be inherited by the Queen Mother of the West.

Yiye Zhiqiu is a leader in the new generation of Kunlun School.

What about Yan Chixia?

He used to be the tough judge of Megatron Kyushu, and the chief arrester of Xingmen.

According to his own statement, he disliked the darkness of the officialdom, so he sealed the gold hanging seal and retired to the world.

And in the rivers and lakes, he didn't do nothing.

On the contrary, he has been traveling the world, eradicating those evil spirits and demon kings.

Like the nine-tailed demon fox, like Grandma Shu, like the old Black Mountain demon, and like Pudu Cihang...

Yiye Zhiqiu represents Taoism.

What about Yan Chixia?

Is he really a lone ranger?

Is it really as he said, have you left the officialdom and stopped asking right and wrong?

Probably not.

In A Chinese Ghost Story 2, he practiced with Yiye Zhiqiu to kill Pudu Cihang. Yiye Zhiqiu represents the Taoism, so does he represent himself?

Zhang Heng pondered that Yan Chixia might have another identity.

For example, the guardian of the Song Dynasty who has never shown up.

Even, he may be a member of the royal family himself, only in this way can he explain why he has Xuanyuan Sword and knows Xuanyuan Sword Art.

Because Xuanyuan Sword is the sword of the Emperor, it is very likely to be treasured in the palace.

Every generation, the Dasong Dynasty will choose a sword-bearer as the guardian of the dynasty, and this generation is Yan Chixia.

Of course, whether this is the case, Zhang Heng is only guessing, and there is too little information to make a conclusion.

Even if Yan Chixia really gave away the guardian of the dynasty, his passing of the sword might not have been willful.

Zhang Heng understood.

The founder of the Dasong Dynasty, known as being invincible with fists and sticks, and capable of martial arts.

He is the last person in the world of Liaozhai who has ascended to martial arts. Back then, he dominated the world, beating Kunlun with clubs and Buddhist sects with fists. No one in the world would dare not follow suit.

In the end, he was rejected because he was too strong to stay in the lower world.

Now, this master of boxing and sticks is already a martial artist.

There is no doubt that he must have been paying attention to the world of Liaozhai and his descendants. Zhang Heng has the obvious imprint of the three mountains on his body. Yan Chixia doesn't know what the three mountains in the talisman represent. The ancestor of Dasong, the martial arts immortal, may not be.

"Interesting!"
