God and mystery

Chapter 137 Personalized New Magical Weapon

The little fox had a sad face, and there were two more small bags on his body, with a pile of books in it, and asked Ji Xiang in confusion:
"Master, don't we leave Shuntian now?"

"No, we still have to find someone and order some new instruments from him."

Ji Xiang responded in this way.

The little fox's expression became a little curious: "New magic weapon?"

In his little mind, some treasures from story books and novels emerged, such as the flying magic sword, the magic brush that turns still life into reality, and the diamond carving that pulls a cow.
"I know I know!"

The little fox was a little excited: "Those magic tools are written in Journey to the West, such as the Ruyi golden cudgel weighing [-] catties, the golden lock armor, the purple gold crown with phoenix wings, and the nine-toothed rake, Three golden hoops, two cylinders of yin and yang, three-pointed and two-edged guns, hard-core soldiers with one's heart, five-color fairy clothes, banana fans, and eight-diagram furnace."

"Master, is the person you are going to find a great immortal who can make these magic tools? Ah. Isn't it?"

In the middle of speaking, the voice suddenly became quieter. It turned out that it was Ji Xiang, who was covered in firearms and books, and lowered his head to stare at the little fox.

"When did you watch Journey to the West?"

"It's in the Longde Hall. You all went to fight that Jurchen. I saw His Majesty put a book on the table, so I secretly read it."

"Fox Xiaoten! You have the time to read Journey to the West, but not to draw talismans? Is this your learning attitude!"

Ji Xiang's tone suddenly became weird. The little fox was like a child who was caught reading extracurricular books, sweating all over his body, and his face turned pale.

"That's right, I just glanced at it twice. I read books faster, and I didn't read the whole plot."

I didn't watch it all because I was afraid that you would come back from outside.

In order to be cute and pass the level, the little fox immediately mentioned one thing.

"Master, you don't know. It seems that he searched for the original manuscript of "Journey to the West" during Emperor Jiajing's time, but he couldn't find the whereabouts. He often read it over and over again, and even made comments."

"This is what I heard from Fox Dragon."

Sure enough, the little fox frowned immediately when he saw Ji Xiang heard the gossip.

What the master was thinking, the little fox didn't know.

We don't know, and we don't dare to ask, so we hold our little command flag tightly.

Ji Xiang is thinking here. Doesn't this news correspond to the news that Liu Mengyin said at the beginning, saying that the old man Lei Xuan once searched for the original manuscript of a book and strongly supported Liu Mengyin's behavior of writing the book? Journey to the West".

The predecessor of "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West Pinghua", existed in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and there are such classic contents as Wei Zheng's Slaying the Dragon, Xuanzang's Journey to the West, and Che Chi's Fighting in the Kingdom. The complete "Journey to the West" It was supplemented by Wu Chengen's collection of materials during the Jiajing period.

It is said that it was still a very popular book back then, so that it was so popular that people wrote "Journey to the East" and "Journey to the South".
"Hmm! Interesting?"

Ji Xiang was startled suddenly.

It's kind of weird!
Liu Mengyin wanted to write novels about gods and ghosts, and he was affirmed by the old man Lei Xuan, which was supported by Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing did not find the original manuscript of Journey to the West.

The Japanese art of transforming gods and ghosts appeared on the Korean battlefield, turning false book spirits into real ones, combined with Western magic.

Emperor Wanli was threatened by the Korean battlefield and Emperor Jiajing, and under the double terror, he began to write books.

These clues seem to be related in some way. Could it be that Emperor Jiajing is engraving and guiding Emperor Wanli to use Liu Mengyin to write books?

"Here, I didn't find "Journey to the West", so let Emperor Wanli write a substitute?"

Emperor Wanli: I'm writing, I'm writing.

Ma Dan, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", right?
"I don't understand, but at least for now, it is impossible for Emperor Jiajing to have any influence on Emperor Wanli. After all, the progress of writing the book is only zero percent."

Ji Xiang is not too worried about this. Anyway, when writing a book in this era, if it is to be finished, it is based on ten years as the unit. It is impossible for the emperor to write every day. year.

Moreover, to find a ghostwriter, the wish belongs to the ghostwriter, not the Wanli Emperor, and it is useless to have the naming rights, so he has to do it himself in the end.

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing was tricked by himself, and now he seems to be chased like a dog in the mountains and rivers, and he probably doesn't have much time to manage the affairs of Emperor Wanli. For the time being, some hidden dangers in the capital have been resolved.

But in the future, blooming everywhere is the big thing that Li Shanhe and his gang want to do. It is estimated that various rebellions and uprisings will soon appear. After all, the Little Ice Age is almost here.

This is the cycle of heaven, which does not depend on human will, but only obeys the arrangement of "heaven".

Thinking wildly all the way, Ji Xiang and the little fox came to Zhao Shizhen's residence.

Zhao Shizhen has been the master book of Honghe Temple for 18 years. This position is mainly in charge of the review and review of seals and some etiquette matters. There is only one person, and there is no great power. He is still a small official, and his salary is not high and he is relatively poor. After all, all his money is spent on research, and people who have no hope of promotion will often achieve something in another aspect.

So his residence is also at the junction of the inner and outer cities. He lives in a certain alley and has no real estate of his own. Although he does not have much money, the place where he lives will be one of the Chaoyang people in future generations.
Now there is no work in Honglu Temple. The Wanli period was regarded as a serious period for officials to fish for fish. Except for the official department, there were almost no holidays. The holidays of other officials were about three days in January. Others don't even go to court, fishing?That's all for real work
When I came to Zhao Shizhen's residence, the door was also an old employee, and it looked like it had been through many vicissitudes. Ji Xiang didn't dare to knock on the door, and asked the little fox to knock, for fear of tearing down the door panel.

Boom boom boom!
The little fox knocked on the door and shouted at the same time: "Da Ming Dao Lusi, the great master of Hua Bei Ren Wei is coming to visit Mr. Zhao."

Soon there was movement from the door, someone was talking, Zhao Shizhen's wife opened the door in the small courtyard of the alley, and there was no servant in his home.In the Ming Dynasty, women generally did not show their faces, and it was only limited to wealthy families. The old Zhao family obviously did not have this condition.

When the woman saw the little fox, her eyes lit up slightly, and when she saw Ji Xiang again, she was a little taken aback, because Ji Xiang was covered in ammunition all over her body, so she thought it was someone who came to knock on the door.

Hearing that Ji Xiang is here to visit Zhao Shizhen, ask Ji Xiang to wait a while while her beloved is talking with someone inside.

"People from the Department of Daolu? I don't know him."

Zhao Shizhen came out of the house and walked into the dilapidated small courtyard, with a bearded fanbang beside him.

Seeing Ji Xiang's robe, he was shocked, this kind of robe was only worn by Zhang Tianshi when he was watching the gate, but there are some differences, and the person in front of him is actually wearing firearms all over his body!

Zhao Shizhen was also taken aback, and took two or three steps back.

He didn't dare to neglect, and asked strangely:

"I don't know who you are?"

Small officials of the seventh or eighth rank do not have the right to participate in the court of Fengtianmen, so they don't know Ji Xiang at all.

Ji Xiang smiled slightly: "Pindao heard from Zhang Tianshi that you are making some useful magic weapons here? Pindao wants to give you some advice, and by the way, please help me make a separate one."

After all, he patted the firearms on his body, making a dull thumping sound.
