A knife in love

Chapter 720

The eldest grandson Guangming took a deep breath and said to Li Qiufeng: "Hero Li, there is one thing that I have not told you about Mr. Situ. The reason why the two of us are like this is not to conceal it intentionally, but because this matter has nothing to do with Li Daxia. It’s just that we are trapped here, and this Gao Lishi suddenly appeared again. If Mr. Situ and I don’t confess this matter to Mr. Li, I’m afraid Mr. Li will become suspicious and misunderstand. There is also something puzzling about this matter, until now I have thought about most of the joints clearly, and it is time to unravel the mystery, so I just said it out, everyone can discuss it together, maybe we can find a way out."

Yang Yansi was the most impatient, and before his eldest grandson Guangming finished speaking, he kept urging him.Yang Ye glared at him, Yang Yansi stuck out his tongue, and just stared at his grandson Guangming with eager eyes.

The eldest grandson Guangming said in a deep voice: "I have been wandering around in the rivers and lakes these years, just to find the formation map left by Zhuge Wuhou. For this wish, I don't know how many old capitals I have traveled through, and how many royal relatives have been excavated. The tombs of nobles, famous ministers and generals. Later, I accidentally discovered that not only Cao Bin, Zhao Guangyi, Yao Guangxiao, and Wu Zetian, who usurped the Tang Dynasty, had obtained this map. And I accidentally discovered that these people had One place is very interesting. And this place is the Changping Ancient Battlefield."

At this point, Changsun Guangming glanced at Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ is ten times more capable than me, and he knew before me that there is a map left by Marquis Zhuge Wu in the world. Naturally, he already knew about it?"

Situ Qiao sneered, and said, "Mr. Changsun, please don't put money on my face. Although the Changsun family suffered a lot under Wu Zetian's hands, they are centipedes, dead but not stiff. For thousands of years, the Changsun family has always If you want to dig Wu Zetian's mausoleum, you must have prepared it long ago, I am afraid that in the Tang Dynasty, you have already searched for the map of Marquis Wu."

When he said this, he turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, I don't have to hide it from you at this time. I have indeed been to this ancient battlefield in Changping many times. This is because I once got it from Cao Bin's tomb. I passed a hand scroll, and Chang Ping was mentioned in many places in the paper, with strange words. I guess with Cao Bin’s ability, he will definitely not mention here for no reason, so that he can find Chang Ping. After searching around, I think of the previous Only after discovering the clues did we know that the people who got the formation map wanted to use the remains of hundreds of thousands of Qin and Zhao soldiers buried underground in the Changping Ancient Battlefield to form a skeleton army formation. I know that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji also used the Pinggu has done tricks on the battlefield, but I have never been able to guess what he is going to do. I didn't understand Li Longji's purpose until today when Gao Lishi appeared here, and it turned out to be to deal with Princess Taiping."

When Situ Qiao said this, he suddenly stopped talking, frowned, and said: "Perhaps the matter is not so simple. When Wu Zetian abolished his father Li Dan's throne, Li Longji thought about getting rid of Wu Zetian and taking back the throne of Dalai Lama." Tang Jiangshan. He built the Skeleton King Temple here, maybe just to deceive people. The real purpose is to use Marquis Wu's formation map to summon an army of skeletons to help him destroy Wu Clan and restore Li Tang Jiangshan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Lishi made two "clicks" in his throat, and his face became even paler.

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said, "What is the Skeleton King Temple?"

Situ Qiao said: "Just now Mr. Changsun said that I knew about this a long time ago, that is because he thinks too highly of me. Except for Li Longji's involvement in this matter, I have already told Li Longji all the other things. Brother, I know. It is up to Mr. Changsun to elaborate on the origin of this matter, and the grievances and grievances in it."

Sun Guangming smiled and said: "Since Mr. Situ doesn't want to say more, let me do it for you. We have already talked about how Wu Zetian got the map left by Zhuge Wuhou a few days ago, so I won't repeat it here. After the temptress got the formation map, she didn't want to summon the skeleton army, but wanted to use the magic of Xing Xing to live a long life. It's just that the temptress didn't expect Zhang Jianzhi and others to suddenly launch a coup, put her under house arrest in the harem, and tried her best Killing her cronies made her helpless, unable to retrieve the formation map, and soon died of anger.

"While Wu Zetian was alive, she wanted to be emperor wholeheartedly. This temptress was cruel and ruthless. In order to become emperor, she even killed her own children and grandchildren whenever she wanted. Therefore, whether it is Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian or Emperor Ruizong Li Dan, everyone is trembling. , I am afraid that this temptress will be unhappy one day, and they will be dragged down to the throne, and a cup of poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk will kill them. You may wish to think about it, even the emperor is so afraid, grandchildren like Li Longji Li Tang's descendants are even more frightened birds. It is not easy to survive. It's just that Li Longji is very talented and wants to imitate his ancestor Tang Taizong Li Shimin. How can he give up the Great Tang Dynasty to the Wu family? Li Longji wanted to take back the throne with all his heart.

"However, before he could do anything, Zhang Jianzhi and other ministers loyal to Li Tang staged a coup, driving Wu Zetian from the throne of the emperor, and the throne returned to Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian. It's just that Li Xian is incompetent, Queen Wei and Princess Anle are in chaos, Dedicated to imitating Wu Zetian as the female emperor, the Tang Dynasty is still in a precarious state. Empress Wei was extremely afraid of Li Dan and Princess Taiping, and Li Longji was the most outstanding among Li Dan's sons, so Empress Wei tried to drive him away After leaving the capital, she went to Luzhou, Shanxi to do a special car. She thought that it would be easier to get rid of Li Dan if Li Longji was not with Li Dan. However, after Li Longji arrived in Shanxi, he did not know where he got the news about the ancient battlefield in Changping. Hiding a big secret, he led people to Changping. Perhaps he had already obtained the formation map at that time, and was going to summon the skeleton army to destroy Queen Wei's party."

When Changsun Guangming said this, he paused for a moment, as if he remembered something.After a while, he went on to say: "After Li Longji arrived in Changping secretly, one day, he summoned the local officials in Changping and said that there are bones everywhere in Changping, which are the remains of soldiers from Qin and Zhao countries. It's really pitiful that no one restrains them. The imperial court takes pity on these lonely ghosts and wants to collect and bury these remains and set up a temple to worship them.

"After Li Longji returned to Luzhou, he sent people to send a large amount of gold and silver, which was used to hire peasants, collect the bones, and bury them on the mountain on the west side of Gukou Village. This mountain is not tall, because it is shaped like a human head. , and the head on the mountain looks like a mountain, and the bones form a mound, so it is called the Skull Mountain. It is said that after Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, wiped out 40 Zhao troops, he built a Beijing temple with the heads of Zhao Jun on the Skull Mountain. Thousands of heads were left behind. It is also said that Qin State has rewarded military merits with titles and heavy gold since the date of Shang Yang's reform. The evidence of military merits is the enemy's heads. During the Changping War, Qin's soldiers will be like Wolves are like tigers, and every time they kill a Sergeant of the Zhao Army, they will chop off their heads and bring them back to ask for credit. After these heads are recorded in the book, they are all piled up on the Skull Mountain.

"Li Longji not only sent people to send a large sum of gold and silver, but also sent his cronies here to supervise the construction of a large temple to pay homage to the souls of the dead, so as to appease the grievances of these soldiers who died in battle. And the cronies chose The place where the temple was built is near this head mountain."

Changsun Guangming said this, looked at Gao Lishi and said: "Master Gao, if my guess is correct, the person Li Longji sent to supervise when the Skeleton King Temple was built was you, Mr. Gao Lishi?"

Gao Lishi's face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he just nodded, but didn't speak.

The eldest grandson Guangming smiled, very proud, and continued: "Master Gao spent a lot of money, hired civilians, buried thousands of bones on the Skull Mountain, and chose an open space where the bones were buried, and built a large-scale temple. When the temple was built, Mr. Gao issued a notice to find a skeleton. It is said that this skeleton has abnormal images. There are three protrusions on the top of the skull, the middle is the highest, and the sides are slightly lower. If anyone can find this skeleton, a reward will be given. Jin. The people who buried the bones cheered and looked around, but they couldn’t find the skeleton. In the end, Mr. Gao ordered to choose the tallest skeleton from the collected skeletons. In the main hall of the temple, it is enshrined as the "King of Skeleton" and sacrifices are held at four o'clock. Therefore, the temple is named "Temple of King of Skeleton" and stands at the west entrance of Gukou Village."

Changsun Guangming spoke up to this point, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ is proficient in studying the Five Elements, and is even more proficient in the art of organ information. Mr. Gao is building a large-scale construction project on Toutou Mountain in Gukou Village. Mr. Situ naturally knows what he wants to do?"

Situ Qiao sneered and said, "Mr. Changsun's words are convincing, so why should I be brought out as evidence for Mr.?"

Changsun Guangming shook his head and said: "Mr. Situ's words are not right. I don't want Mr. Situ to prove me, but because Mr. Situ's skills are superior to mine. I didn't see through the usefulness of this skull king temple at the beginning. It wasn't until later that I spied on Mr. Situ's side and saw Mr. Situ's method of laying out the ecstasy array, and then I suddenly realized and understood Li Longji's intention to build this skeleton king temple on the Skull Mountain."

Situ Qiao hummed, but didn't speak.Yang Yansi was fascinated by what he was listening to, when he saw that Chang Sun Guangming changed his subject again, he felt anxious, so he couldn't help but said to Chang Sun Guangming: "Since Mr. Situ doesn't want to talk, you can talk to us."

The eldest grandson Guangming smiled slightly, and said: "Since Mr. Situ doesn't want to teach, I have to say. I saw Mr. Situ set up a five-element formation that day to lure the monster monks from the Western Regions into the formation. The two of them used their own skills and fought fiercely for a day. One night, the demon monk in the Western Regions used rosary beads to transform into a snow demon and tried to break out of the five-element formation. However, Mr. Situ used the head of the founding general of the Ming Dynasty Lan Yu as his courage to wipe out all the snow demons with a strange killing array, and dragged the demon monk in the Western Regions to death. The door scared him to death. At that time and place, Mr. Situ had not obtained Marquis Wu's formation map, but after many years of research, he was not in vain. He even created a five-element formation. I saw this five-element formation Afterwards, recalling the situation of the Skeleton King Temple, I realized that Master Gao's real purpose of building this temple was not to sacrifice the dead souls, but to use the temple as a large tent for the Chinese army of the Skeleton King, and use the Skeleton King as the courage. Summon thousands of resentful souls buried under the head mountain to work for Li Longji to regain Li Tang Jiangshan."
