A knife in love

Chapter 437

It's just that after the hall fell into darkness this time, nothing strange happened again.Everyone was fully alert, and after a long time, the surrounding area was still completely silent.It's just that the four jets of water under the coffin on the platform disappeared at some point. After the ebony coffin was burned, it became torn apart and fell scatteredly on the platform.

"Moonlight" is shining on the platform through the hole in the ceiling of the main hall.The hall gradually became brighter, and a burnt smell filled everyone's mouths and noses, making them want to vomit.The throne on the platform seems to be covered with a strange white light, which looks weird and gorgeous.

Seeing that there was no abnormality in the hall, Liu Yong said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, what should we do next?"

Situ Qiao said: "Just now I have thought about it carefully. Yao Guangxiao did not know what method he used to reenact the situation when he and Zhu Di turned against each other more than a hundred years ago in this hall. We all saw him If this person is alive, even if everyone rushes up to him, he will definitely not be able to defeat him. Fortunately, the wicked have their own grind. Although Yao Guangxiao is excellent in martial arts and extremely vicious, he was fooled by Zhu Di. He drank poison While drinking, I thought that I had already tried the wine, and thought that even if it was poisonous, it could be dissolved. However, since Zheng He was present, the poison in this poisonous wine must have been brought back by Zheng He from overseas, and it is different from the poison in China. Yao Guangxiao is as treacherous as a ghost, so he still drank Zhu Di's footwashing water. After he was poisoned, he was no longer Zheng He's opponent. Just look at the way he talked to Zhu Di. At first, Zhu Di probably didn't want to kill him. He must have said something that Zhu Di was difficult to kill. The matter of tolerance attracted Zhu Di's poisonous hands. The gray-clothed old monk who suddenly appeared later was presumably Yao Guangxiao's close friend, Monk Puqia. It's just that he had always heard that Puqia had a close relationship with Emperor Jianwen. After the disaster, Zhu Di was sent to prison by Zhu Di. When Yao Guangxiao was about to die, Zhu Di went to visit him in person and asked him if there were any unfinished business. Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di that Puqia had been imprisoned for more than ten years. No matter what he has done in the past, it is already dead, and there is no need to make things difficult for him. Zhu Di immediately ordered Pu Qia to be released, and sent Pu Qia to rush to Yao Guangxiao's residence. The two met for the last time. But from the Judging from the situation, this monk Puqia is clearly Yao Guangxiao's assistant, and the two of them must have great plans..."

When he said this, Li Qiufeng suddenly said: "The things I heard are different from yours. It is said that Yao Guangxiao offended the Emperor Taizu in the past and had to escape into Buddhism. It's just that several of his friends were full of Emperor Taizu Yao Guangxiao wanted revenge. He was thoughtful, and he knew that wanting to overthrow Daming by himself was nothing more than an idiot's dream. He happened to meet Pu Qia, who was also a monk who avoided disaster. The two hit it off immediately, and every day How to plan to kill the Emperor Taizu. Later, the two thought that killing the Emperor Taizu was not considered revenge for their friends. They had to kill all the descendants of the Emperor Taizu, and even overthrow the Ming Dynasty. This anger in my heart.

"After the two made a big plan, it happened that Emperor Taizu chose eminent monks to accompany the princes and pray for the princes. Yao Guangxiao and Pu Qia thought it was a good opportunity, so they tried their best to get their names included in the list of eminent monks. At that time, the crown prince Zhu Biao was still alive, and Yao Guangxiao thought that Puqia was handsome, had a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and had a clean family background. If he helped Zhu Biao, after the death of Emperor Taizu, Zhu Biao ascended the throne, and Puqia could be the national teacher. Then you can use the plan of revenge. However, just in case, you can’t put all your eggs in the basket of Prince Zhu Biao. Among the princes, Yao Guangxiao has his eyes on Zhu Di, the king of Yan. This is because Yuan Gong, the most powerful warlock at that time, The princes met each other and thought that the king of Yan would never tolerate being just a prince. Yao Guangxiao secretly watched the king of Yan and thought that he could use the king of Yan to fight against the prince and make the Ming Dynasty Disaster caused Xiao Qiang, and Emperor Taizu's sons and sons slayed each other. This is more enjoyable than killing Emperor Taizu with a sword. King Yan is a man of sinister nature. Although he can lead troops to fight, he is just cruel and easy to kill, and has a bad reputation. Moreover, when he was granted the title of King Yan, he lived in Beiping, which was close to the Great Wall, and fought with Tartar soldiers from time to time. It can be said that it was a dangerous place, so no one of the eminent monks wanted to go. Yao Guangxiao visited the King of Yan at night, asking for peace with Yan Wang Tong went to Beiping. At that time, King Yan was very angry because he was sent by the Emperor Taizu to Beiping to guard the border. Seeing Yao Guangxiao's ugly face and not looking like an eminent monk, he was troubled, so he said to Yao Guangxiao, what are you capable of? , want to go to Peiping with the king? Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, the poor monk has no skills, but he can give the prince a white hat.

"A white character is added on top of the word Wang, which is the emperor's character. The king of Yan is so smart, he immediately felt that this monk had an extraordinary background. The two of them discussed secretly in the room. Yao Guangxiao explained the general situation of the world for King Yan, which made King Yan suddenly enlightened. On the second day, he made a statement to Emperor Taizu, asking Yao Guangxiao to accompany him to Beiping. Naturally, Emperor Taizu didn't know Yao Guangxiao's plan, so he approved King Yan's request.

The prince Zhu Biao died early, and Puqia then assisted the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi until Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne and became the emperor.The world has always thought that Emperor Jianwen's proposal to cut down the vassal came from Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others, but in fact the mastermind behind it was this monk Puqia.He had already made a plan with Yao Guangxiao, and Puqia planned a plan for Emperor Jianwen to cut down the vassal in the palace, so that the emperor and his uncles who were entrusted to various places would fight each other.Yao Guangxiao incited King Yan to rebel and took the opportunity to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.At that time, Emperor Taizu had killed all the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and other counselors were also killed by Taizu. No one could restrain Yao Guangxiao and Puqia.Everyone knows what happened afterwards. King Yan launched the Jingnan Campaign, overthrowing Emperor Jianwen in one fell swoop and winning the throne.Puqia was indeed captured by Chengzu. Although he was severely tortured at first, Chengzu wanted to get news about Emperor Jianwen from him, but he couldn't torture him to death, so he was locked in the sky prison without eating. What a pain. "

Situ Qiao nodded when he heard this, and said, "Perhaps the matter is indeed as you said. But no matter what, it is certain that Yao Guangxiao and Pu Qia have colluded for a long time. Judging from the situation just now, Zhu Di's love for Yao Guangxiao Either they had doubts for a long time, or they wanted to kill people to silence them, so as to prevent the scandal of his usurping the throne from leaking out. Therefore, the two were intrigued by each other and wanted to put each other to death. In the end, it was Zhu Di who made the best move, which made Yao Guangxiao win the drama Poison cannot compete with Zheng He. Before Yao Guangxiao came to see Zhu Di, he had already prepared to let Puqia watch over him. He thought that his plan was to join forces with Puqia to kill the emperor. Being poisoned, not only could not kill Zhu Di, but fell into a trap. After Pu Qia appeared, Zheng He led the Jinyi Guards to protect the emperor. At that time, in the name of accumulating grain, grass, and military equipment for the King of Yan, he built this underground palace in the belly of the mountain under Hutou Rock, in case of emergencies. The grain, grass, and military equipment in the cave were only built by Yao Guangxiao. It's just a cover for the city, this person is really thoughtful, and even Zhu Di and other cunning people were deceived by him."

When Situ Qiao said this, Liu Yong asked: "If Yao Guangxiao wants to overthrow the Great Tomorrow, he should recruit troops and buy horses to accumulate strength. But what's the use of him rushing to the middle of the mountain and building this city? Unless He wants to be the king and hegemony in this Netherworld, otherwise why would he spend so much effort?"

Situ Qiao said: "Mr. Liu is right. I think Yao Guangxiao is thoughtful and quite scheming, but what he uses is conspiracy after all. Siege of cities and lands, field battle fronts are not his specialties. Conspiracies and tricks can be used for a while. But it cannot be used for a lifetime. In terms of strategy, Zhu Di may not be as good as him, but when it comes to commanding thousands of troops to win a decisive victory on the battlefield, ten Yao Guangxiaos cannot compare with one Zhu Di. What's more, although Zhu Yuanzhang is a bastard, But Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars, restored our Han clothes, and was deeply loved by the people. If Yao Guangxiao wanted to overthrow Daming, he would naturally not be welcomed by the people. He wanted to raise his arms and summon troops to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, which is tantamount to a dream."

At this point, Situ Qiao looked at the burnt ebony coffin on the platform, and continued, "Yao Guangxiao couldn't make living people work for him, so he had to find another way. I don't know where he found it, but he thought of it." Use the dead to charge for him..."

When Situ Qiao said this, everyone's hearts trembled, and they all thought of the skeleton in the coffin just now.But I heard Situ Qiao say: "The skeleton just now is so powerful, I think everyone has seen it. You are all martial arts masters. A dozen people besieged him, but he still can't get rid of him. If there are tens of thousands of such skeletons, how can we use them to kill them?" On the battlefield, even if famous generals such as Bai Qi, Li Mu, Kong Ming, Zhou Yu, Li Jing, Yue Fei are resurrected, they are definitely not Yao Guangxiao's opponents."

When everyone heard this, they all thought of the tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers outside the hall.Taoist Qingfeng's expression changed drastically, and he said to Situ Qiao, "Could it be that those skeletons outside the hall are the soldiers Yao Guangxiao intends to use to rebel?"

Situ Qiao nodded and said: "That's what I think. And if my guess is correct, the skeleton in the coffin was transformed from the corpse of Monk Puqia. This Yao Guangxiao is really vicious, after Puqia saved his life Zhu Di will naturally send his masters to chase him down, and he will definitely send arrest documents at sea, and all the counties and counties in the world will try their best to arrest them. The two of them had no other place to go, so they fled all the way to this cave. Yao Guangxiao wanted to drive him. The skeleton army rushed out of the ground and went to Zhu Di to settle accounts. However, there must be some joints in it that he hadn't figured out, and he couldn't make these skeletons reborn. Yao Guangxiao killed Pu Qia and put him in the coffin, wanting to observe Will he be able to come back to life? This Puqia's martial arts are very strong, if Yao Guangxiao's method can succeed, he can use Puqia to outnumber a hundred, which will be of great benefit to his strategy."

Situ Qiao's words are eloquent, although they are very reasonable, but the content is too absurd.Everyone thought in their hearts: "How can a dead person be resurrected, let alone a skeleton?" It's just that everyone saw the terrifying scene of the skeleton standing up from the coffin, and it was difficult to refute for a while, so they had to remain silent. language.

Situ Qiao continued: "This underground city is the foundation of Yao Guangxiao. If there is a secret way to escape in the mountainside, it must be in this city. But I still have two things that I haven't figured out. The first thing is where Yao Guangxiao's body is hidden, and whether he will become human and ghost like Pu Qia. The second thing is where Yao Guangxiao got the tens of thousands of skeletons outside the hall Yes, will they come back to life like Pu Qia? If these tens of thousands of skeletons besiege us, then everyone can only ask for blessings."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound from outside the hall.At the beginning, the sound was like the buzzing of mosquitoes, but the sound became louder and louder. After a while, it turned into a "crash, clatter" sound, as if the world was full of this strange sound.Everyone's face changed drastically, and they all thought in their hearts: "Situ Qiao really has a crow's mouth! He will come here for whatever he is afraid of. It must be those skeleton soldiers who have come back to life. What should we do?!"
