Dragon Pattern Roll Set

According to Liu Xianren's confession, his original name was Liu Taiyan, and he was from Yangzhou.

Originally, he lived a life without pain or itching, neither eating enough nor starving to death, but one day, something happened suddenly, which changed his fate.

About two years ago, one day when he was passing through Xu County, he couldn't afford an inn, so he drove all night. When he passed a forest, because the night road was too dark, he was afraid that it would be a disaster if he went in the wrong direction and got lost in the forest, so he simply climbed up. Climb a tree and prepare to sleep until dawn before heading on the road.He is also used to eating and sleeping in the open, and being a poor man, he is not afraid of any thieves.

Liu Taiyan fell asleep quickly, and that night, he had a very strange dream.

In his dream, he saw a half-human, half-bird thing with chains all over his body and said to him, "Please help me out, and I will make you rich!"

Liu Taiyan asked him, "How do I let you out?"

The man said to him, "Under the tree where you sleep, there is a black stone. If you push that stone away, you will see a spell underneath. You burn that spell, and then go down. Dig about three feet deep, and you will see a nail nailed to a chain, you pull out the nail, and that’s it. In return, you take the nail and the chain, both of which are pure gold.”

When Liu Taiyan woke up from his sleep, it was already dawn.

As soon as the morning breeze blew, he also woke up a little bit. He felt that he might be crazy about money. He shook his head and climbed down from the tree to continue on his way... But at a glance, he saw a black spot next to the root of the tree. stones.

Originally, black stones were very common, but that stone looked quite smooth, and he would not have noticed it normally, but because of the dream last night... Liu Taiyan's heart was moved.

He walked over, stretched out his hand to push the stone...the stone rolled away, and looked again...I saw weeds and mud under the stone, and vaguely, there was a yellow skin-like thing in the mud.

Liu Taiyan scraped away the soil, and really pulled out a palm-sized spell written on cowhide from the ground.

He had never seen the talisman drawn on the talisman before, and he didn't know the meaning, but...he didn't care too much at this time, he only knew that if the dream was true, there would be gold in the ground!

Liu Taiyan took out a fire pocket, burned the skin's charm, and then took out a broken knife that he carried with him to dig the mud. After digging for about three feet, he really heard a "ding", and the broken knife hit On something hard.

Throwing the knife and digging again, he dug out a big golden chain about three feet long and as thick as a wrist, but he couldn't pull it out for a long time, as if it had grown in the ground.After digging for a while, he really dug out a huge golden nail.Liu Taiyan almost went crazy with joy, this is called flying windfall!So he took a lot of effort to pull out the whole nail.

Liu Taiyan didn't care about anything else, shook off the burden, picked up the golden nails and chains, and ran home quickly.

After returning home, he weighed it. Four catties of nails and six catties of iron chains made a total of ten catties of gold. Thus, Liu Taiyan made a fortune!

Liu Taiyan melted all the gold and made it into small gold bars of one pair and one pair. He decided to marry a daughter-in-law, Meimei, for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to be a Taoist priest anymore.

It's just... the night Liu Taiyan fell asleep with his pillow on the gold, he dreamed of that half-bird, half-human monster again.

This time, Liu Taiyan saw more clearly than before. He found that there were four chains tied to the monster. Among them, the chains on the left foot and right hand had been loosened, but the right foot and left hand were still entangled with the chains of the death cup. In the ground, he was trapped and could not move.

The monster told Liu Taiyan that this little gold will be used up, and there is still a lot of wealth in the world.

Therefore, the monster taught Liu Taiyan in detail how to use the cult to deceive people. Everything Liu Taiyan did was taught by the monster.

……

After hearing Liu Taiyan's frank confession, everyone couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. This fellow blamed all the crimes on the monster that appeared in the dream.Ganqing, the monster, would dream of him every night, and then teach him how to make money by deceiving people.

But Liu Taiyan has committed a serious crime this time. Instead of blaming the ghosts and gods, it would be more useful for him to drag a few more people into the water. Pushing the ghosts and gods is equivalent to bearing all the crimes by himself.Judging by the lives he entrapped, beheading is absolutely inevitable.

After all, Mr. Bao has handled countless cases and has rich experience, so he always feels that there is a little bit of strangeness in this case from the beginning to the end.So he was not in a hurry to kill Liu Taiyan, and asked people to imprison him temporarily and release him later.

When Liu Taiyan was pushed down, everyone began to look at the small Buddha statue.

"Grand Master." Zhan Zhao asked Grand Master Pang curiously, "Is it the same as the one in your dream? It seems different from the one on the gold medal."

The grand master shook his head again and again, "This is not what I saw in my dream... It feels very different."

Bai Yutang picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it. It was half human and half bird, but it was just a small porcelain Buddha statue, and the workmanship seemed rough.

Bai Yutang held the porcelain statue in his hand and weighed it, frowning.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

"It doesn't look like new porcelain." Bai Yutang said.

Everyone looked at each other.

"If what Liu Taiyan said is true, then this porcelain Buddha statue should have been made in the past two years." Bai Yutang said, "The porcelain firing industry in the Jianghuai area is very prosperous, and the porcelain fired in any workshop now is better than this one." It is much thinner and thinner. And judging by the color of the glaze, this should be a handicraft a long time ago."

Tianzun came over, picked up the porcelain Buddha and looked at it carefully, "Huh? This one feels so old, like something fired in a porcelain kiln when I was a child!"

"It really looks like the glaze from the previous dynasty." The grand master also took it over and tasted it carefully, then nodded repeatedly, "It should be some years old."

Zhao Pu asked the county magistrate to invite a few veteran craftsmen from porcelain kilns. After they saw it, they all said that it was fired with the method used 200 years ago, and it can't be called an antique. Their grandparents all used it. This method is glazed.It's just that I'm afraid I can't find it if I look for it now, and no one should use this native method to make things anymore.

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "But just now Liu Taiyan clearly said that he made this Buddha statue after the monster in his dream."

Pang Yu leaned over to come up with an idea, "Isn't this kind of thing written with the year it was made and where the kiln came from? Why don't you cut it open and have a look." He said, pointing to the giant que in Zhan Zhao's hand , "Don't chop it up, it's fine, cut it in half and stick it back."

Everyone looked at Mr. Bao.

Bao Zheng nodded. To judge whether Liu Taiyan's words are true or not, this Buddha statue can be said to be the most direct evidence.

At the same time Master Bao nodded, everyone saw Zhan Zhao's saber swaying... Ju Que flashed a cold light again, and when everyone realized it had already been sheathed.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and gently broke the Buddha statue on both sides... The Buddha statue was really divided into two, the cut surface was so smooth that there was no gap at all, and the seam could not be seen even when put together.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched and they looked at the giant sword in Zhan Zhao's hand - the sword was still sharp.

Bai Yutang looked inside the Buddha statue and frowned slightly.

Bao Yan asked, "How is it? Is there any writing?"

Bai Yutang showed the inside of the Buddha statue to everyone, and saw that it was written on one side - it was opened for five years.

"It has been in existence for five years..." Gongsun counted with his fingers, then nodded, "It's almost 200 years."

Just as everyone was frowning, Bai Yutang showed them the inside of the other half of the Buddha statue, and there was a vertical row of small characters - Xie Yu drove down the sixth Mishazhuluoshi.

Everyone looked at each other.

"What is Ziluoshi?" Zhao Pu was puzzled.

"What is Misha?" Lin Yehuo was also curious, "I've heard of Maitreya and Rakshasa, but I haven't heard of Misha."

"Zuloshi means succubus."

At this time, Gongsun spoke.

Everyone looked at Gongsun and said in their hearts - really know!

Bao Yan asked himself that he had read a lot of books, but this Zhu Luoshi had never heard of it, so he couldn't help admiring it, it really was Gongsun who was knowledgeable!

Zhao Pu was very satisfied and nodded, as long as it was written in words, his family's top nerd would know it.

Master Bao was also puzzled, "Dream Demon?"

Gongsun smiled, "I know this because of a chance encounter."

Everyone listened carefully.

Gongsun said, "When I was young, about ten years old, I saw a doctor for an old man. He was 80 or [-] years old at the time, and he suffered from insomnia. Sometimes I can survive without food or drink for ten days, but if I don’t sleep, I will go crazy for four or five days.”

Everyone nodded.

"At that time, I heard him muttering non-stop, Zhu Luoshi fell into a dream, Zhu Luoshi fell into a dream..." Gongsun said, "Later I found out that he couldn't sleep because his blood vessels were not smooth and his tendons were blocked. After he cured his illness, he asked him curiously what "Zulosh into a dream" was, and he told me that "Zulosh is a nightmare."

When everyone heard this, they seemed to grasp the key point, "Is he not from the Central Plains?"

Gongsun nodded, "He is from the former Bohai Kingdom. After Bohai was destroyed by the Liao Dynasty, he came to Zhongtu."

"Oh..." Zhao Pu nodded, "Bohai Kingdom! King Da Zuorong of Bohai County is the first emperor, right?"

Everyone nodded, it turned out that they were from Bohai Country.

"It wasn't long before Bohai fell." Gongsun said, "It was originally a kingdom within a kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. It was so beautiful back then. When it was the most prosperous, Shangjing was known as Little Chang'an. Unfortunately, it finally fell."

Master Bao stroked his beard, "What about Mi Sha?"

Everyone looked at Gongsun, and Gongsun shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either."

Everyone sighed, even Gongsun didn't know... Just when he was helpless, Yin Hou said, "Mi Sha means Dharma protector."

Everyone was taken aback, looking at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou crossed his arms, "Zhuluoshi, Qiluoshi, Jialuoshi, Qiluoshi, Liluoshi, Poluoshi, and Banluoshi are the seven guardians of Xieyu. They are also seven sects, and they want to gather believers. One million, and there must be enough gods. In the later stage of development, the form of cults is similar to that of ordinary gangs. The seven guardians have their own followers, each of which is different. The biggest leader of everyone's envelope is Xie Yu."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded, that's why.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Yin Hou again, what did that mean—how did you know?Even when you saw the Buddha statue just now, you said you didn’t recognize it.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yin Hou felt helpless, "I just heard about it from my elders when I was young, but it's actually the first time I've seen the real thing."

"Why are they all from Bohai?" Bai Yutang was curious, "Could it be that Xie Yu also came from Bohai?"

"More than 200 years ago was the most prosperous period of the Bohai Kingdom, and Bohai not only had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, but also had frequent exchanges with some surrounding vassal states and even overseas countries. It may have been spread from outside, through the channel of Bohai. To the Central Plains, so I used the term Bohai." Tianzun said.

Everyone nodded, that's how it is.

After the explanation by the two elders, everyone was cleared up. Sure enough, an old family is like a treasure. They are too old, eat more salt than they eat rice, and have more knowledge.

Both Gongsun and Bao Yan sighed with emotion - they still haven't read enough books!

"So it is basically certain that Liu Taiyan is lying." Zhan Zhao said, "He seems to be misleading us."

"It seems to be covering up something." Bai Yutang nodded.

Zhao Pu glanced at the Buddha statue of Zhu Luoshi, "Since there are seven guardians, the others may also be enveloped... Liu Taiyan will not expose his companions if he carries it down with all his strength?"

"Cover up the truth and mislead us in other directions." Master Bao frowned, "It feels like a premeditated plan."

"I'll ask him again." Zou Liang felt that he could get something out of Liu Xianren's mouth, so he left with the two shadow guards.

But Zou Liang was less than a cup of tea away, came back frowning, and said two words, "Dead."

Everyone was surprised.

Gongsun jumped up, "Dead?"

"It's weird to die!" Zou Liang couldn't help but said.

Everyone ran to the tent where the prisoners were held in the military camp to see.

Because Liu Taiyan is a very important prisoner, he was held very carefully. Zhao Pu's barracks had a temporary prison for prisoners.

However, when everyone arrived, they found Liu Taiyan lying flat in the cage, his face was pale and his lips were purple, his eyes were staring straight up, he was already dead.

Gongsun frowned, "It looks like he's suffocated!"

The shadow guards carried the body out, Gongsun inspected it, and tilted his head, "It's so strange!"

Everyone is waiting for Gongsun to say the cause of death.

Gongsun narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to peel off Liu Taiyan's shirt, put on silk gloves, and took out a small knife as thin as a cicada's wing from the medicine box, and stabbed it...

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and when they came back to their senses, Gongsun had already "opened Liu Taiyan's belly open" and reached in to take a look at his lungs.

Bai Yutang silently turned and went outside to wait. The fourth son pointed to Liu Taiyan's lungs in Gongsun's hand, "Oh, it's suffocated, that's right!"

Everyone looked at this cute baby helplessly. It's like this now, and it will be fine when it grows up... This group is usually so timid, but it's not afraid of corpses, how strange!

Gongsun came out again with a bottle of medicine, and used a brush to apply some on Liu Taiyan's nasal cavity, cheeks, and neck. After waiting for a while, he frowned, "No one covered his mouth and nose, and no one stuck his neck...he didn't either. The signs of poisoning are nothing strange... I smothered myself to death."

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Suffocate yourself to death? Do you just hold back your breath until you suffocate to death?"

Gongsun nodded.

Everyone was horrified, "This can be done?!"

Gongsun frowned, "It's quite difficult."

Zhao Pu asked the guard, "Did anyone else go in or heard any strange noises?"

The guard shook his head, they were outside the tent, let alone people, not a single fly flew in, and Liu Taiyan didn't make any movement inside, until Zou Liang opened the tent and went in, he found that the person was dead.

"Unless..." Gongsun stared at the corpse for a long time, and suddenly thought, "Guess, if someone strangled his neck in his dream and couldn't wake up... would he be strangled to death?"

Everyone subconsciously looked down at the divided Buddha statue in Zhan Zhao's hand, and then at the straight corpse, and they couldn't help frowning. In short, the whole thing about death was——strange!
