The years of reselling the haunted house

I froze for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and stared into his eyes again.

As the light flashed by, the evil man's eyes miraculously regained their luster, and the dilated pupils began to focus.

From his eyes, the outgoing look was just facing me.I was stunned for a moment.

There seems to be a kind of magical power in the eyes of this evil person, and it is difficult for me to look away.I seemed to be attracted by this look, and kept looking at his eyes.

Who knows that this situation has only lasted for more than ten seconds, and I suddenly feel that my mind is starting to become chaotic.

It seems that there is something in the body that is being pulled out by someone.

I tried to get the situation under control, but found that there was nothing I could do.

First my mind was emptied, then my body, and I already felt that my body was not my own.I seem to have left this underground palace, attracted by something in front of me, and drifted in another direction.

Soon, I floated into the air, and after floating for a while, I suddenly fell from the air.

I tried my best to swing my limbs, trying to maintain my balance, but in the end I fell heavily to the ground.The fall was hard enough that it hurt my ass.

During this period, I actually closed my eyes, until the pain in my butt came, which made me open my eyes all of a sudden.

As a result, when I opened my eyes, I found that I had indeed left the underground palace.Get out of that dark, dimly lit scene.

At this time, the sun is shining all around me, the air is fresh, and the breeze is blowing, which is very pleasant to blow on my body.

I looked up, but I didn't find the sun above my head, and I didn't know where the light came from.

I shook my head, not quite believing what I saw.I remember that I was still in the underground palace just now, and I was looking at the evil man who opened his eyes. Why did I come here suddenly?

Here and the underground palace are completely two worlds.

I immediately thought of the word time travel.

Could it be that I traveled to another time and space the moment I stared into his eyes, or came from another place?

But as soon as this idea appeared, I was amused by my own idea.I must have read too many time-travel novels to think of this.That was all imagined by the writers of online novels. This is reality for me, how could there be a time-traveling phenomenon.

I shook my head and found that I was still sitting on the ground, so I slowly got up from the ground, patted my buttocks, turned and looked around.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and the warm wind is smooth, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.Although I can't see the whole terrain and feng shui now, I can feel intuitively that this must be a place with good feng shui.

"Little benefactor, how is the environment here?"

I was looking around when suddenly a loud voice came from behind, the voice was magnetic and full of energy.

I was startled, turned around and saw a person standing on a small hillside behind me.

This person was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist temple on his head, and was standing on the slope smiling at me with a whisk in his hand.I never saw where the light was coming from, but the man was standing in the backlight.The radiant glow behind him made him appear to be full of immortality and majestic.

While I was looking at him, he walked slowly down the dirt slope and walked slowly in front of me.

Due to the glare of the light just now, I couldn't see his face clearly.I didn't recognize him until he came down.

His face turned out to be exactly the same as that evil man's face before he turned into a mummy.Isn't this the evil person himself?Moreover, the Taoist robe and crown he was wearing were the same as those worn by the mummy.The golden Taoist robe, with a golden Taoist temple on the top of the head.

I was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, dumbfounded, pointed at him and said stammeringly: "You...you...evil..."

The Taoist smiled slightly: "You mean... an evil Taoist?"

"Yes...ah no..." I wanted to say yes, but I felt that the title of evil person was disrespectful, so I shook my head again.

The man waved his whisk: "It doesn't matter what the name is, it's just a title."

I nodded, people who have attained the Tao really don't value false fame.This was the case with Ouyang or Zhong Tianhai before.

"You... are really an evil person, in that underground palace..." I haven't recovered from this extreme change, and I am ignorant of everything that happened before me.

The Taoist pointed to the ground: "Sit down, you have half an hour here, I have something to tell you, you have to remember them all."

Although the Taoist's tone was calm and friendly, there was a deterrent force in it, which made you obey his instructions involuntarily.

I sat on the ground according to his instructions, and he also shook his Taoist robe, sat down cross-legged, and faced me.

"Master Taoist, are you really an evil Taoist?" Seeing that this Taoist is very approachable and doesn't care about his name, I asked again.

The Taoist nodded and said with a smile: "The evil Taoist is just an elegant name given to the poor by the world. The poor Taoist Shimen Taoist."

"You really are?"

I was startled, and stood up from the ground.That was obviously a mummy, how did it appear alive in front of me?Didn't I live to hell?

The Taoist was not surprised, he just stretched out his hand to signal me to sit down again.

From head to toe, I saw that Taoist was not unusual, no different from strangers.I'm really messed up.

Chapter 1114 Reversal

I slowly sat down again, staring directly at the Taoist.

The Shimen Taoist said indifferently: "Little benefactor, I will tell the truth, don't be afraid."

I nodded.

"Now you and I are not real people, just souls. I brought you here just to explain something to you."

"Soul? I am also a soul?" I was taken aback and asked.

Taoist Shimen nodded: "If you don't believe me, pinch it and see for yourself."

Suspicious, I stretched out my hand and pinched my thigh hard.

As a result, I didn't feel the slightest pain when I went down.How could this be, how did my soul come out?

"Then...here...where is it?" I still want to figure out what this place is.

"This is Yuantai Mountain."

"Yuantai Mountain? Where is Yuantai Mountain?" I questioned.

"Mt. Yuantai is where I cultivate. Below..." Said, Taoist Shimen pointed to his feet: "Below here is where the Nine Dragons Underground Palace is located. Weren't you still there just now?"

"The underground palace is under here? Sanyangpu is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Is this Yuantai Mountain one of the mountains?"

Taoist Shimen nodded: "Exactly. Don't worry about how you got here, I promise to send you back safely in a while."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Seeing that the Taoist Shimen had no malicious intentions, I tried to calm down and asked the Taoist Shimen.

Taoist Shimen asked back: "Do you know the origin of the Nine Dragons Underground Palace?"

I nodded: "I have roughly figured out the situation."

"Then... let's talk about it, be brief..."

I said: "When Emperor Qianlong had to abdicate for a few years, he thought of a way and sent people to build this underground palace. The purpose was to give him the Qianlong Tongbao king coin to replenish the dragon energy. He sent Huang Jiye Supervise the construction, and sent three groups of people, one group is masons, one group is the Taoist priest headed by you, and the other group is the military officer in charge of guarding. The masons not only built the Jiulongding to absorb the dragon energy, but also placed it on your Under the suggestion, this underground palace was built. But... But this underground palace is for your use. You want to use this underground palace for your own use, so you absorb a lot of dragon energy to your side, so the dragon on the side of Jiulongding Insufficient qi, and finally failed to repair the dragon qi. And you still want to be resurrected after 200 years. To tell you the truth, I am here this time to prevent you from resurrecting. Your...you have...beads in the center of your eyebrows... ..."

I don't know what happened, but in front of the Taoist Shimen, I was unrestrained and told everything I knew.

After I finished speaking, I realized that many of these words were disrespectful to Taoist Shimen.

But the Shimen Taoist kept smiling all the time, and didn't have any emotional changes because of my words.Although I know that the one sitting in front of me is only the soul of Taoist Shimen, but this soul should also have the basic qualities of a monk, and the most basic thing is not to be surprised by favor or shame.

After listening to me, Taoist Shimen smiled and asked, "Did you realize these things yourself, or did someone tell you?"

"Some of them I realized on my own, and most of them were told to me by the little mason." I told the truth.

"Little mason? Who is he?" Taoist Shimen asked.

"He is..." I didn't know how to tell Taoist Shimen for a while, because it was a long story.

As a result, Taoist Shimen closed his eyes, seemed to meditate for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "I see. He should be a descendant of the stone maker Shi Zhengyang."

"Shi Zhengyang?"

Taoist Shimen nodded: "Shi Zhengyang is the master stone maker who claims to lead three thousand disciples to oversee the construction of the underground palace."

"It's him? Shi Zhengyang, Shi Jin... So it's no coincidence that they all have the surname Shi, because Shi Jin is the descendant of the master stone maker, but he told me that his master is the descendant of the apprentice of the master stone maker .” I shook my head, feeling that things were a bit messy.I have received a lot of information recently, so I can't figure it out for a while.

"What you said is generally correct, and most of what the little mason told you is true. But he concealed the most important fact. That is, I am called a wicked person, but I am not. The instigator of this underground palace. That is to say, the construction of this underground palace was not proposed by me, but what Shi Zhengyang wanted to do." Taoist Shimen said.

I was taken aback, this matter seemed to be reversed, so I hurriedly asked: "You mean, Shi Zhengyang did all of this? But this underground palace is clearly a Taoist building."

Taoist Shimen waved his hand: "We don't have much time, you can stay here for at most half an hour, I want to tell you too many things, I can only pick the important ones, as for how much you can comprehend and learn, that's up to you." It's up to you."

I nodded. First of all, from the appearance of this Shimen Taoist, I don't think he is the kind of insidious evil that Shi Jin said.So I choose to trust him for now.

Taoist Shimen turned his back to the sky, closed his eyes as if he was remembering.

After a while, he looked at me calmly, and said lightly: "That was in the 53rd year of Qianlong. The historical event at that time was the Annan incident. Later, another Annan coined a batch of Annan coins. This underground palace has nothing to do with it, it's just an introduction to build the underground palace. The royal family also thought of the idea of ​​replenishing the dragon energy to the king's money through this incident, so they came up with the idea of ​​building the underground palace."

I nodded. It was a chance that we discovered Annan Qian. The third uncle was more careful, and found some clues from the Annan Qian, and then sent me here.

And after we entered the underground palace, we did not find any traces of An Nanguo.So I am sure that this underground palace should have nothing to do with An Nanguo.

The Taoist of Shimen continued: "You have almost figured out what happened later. I was originally cultivating in Yuantai Mountain. At that time, a prince who was stationed here made friends with me. He often went to my Taoist temple to discuss the Tao with me. But this People belong to those who were demoted here, and have always wanted to return to the capital to occupy a high position. He knew that I was good at Fengshui, so he once asked me if there was any dragon veins to follow in this place under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. I was also practicing Not enough, so I mentioned it to him on a whim. There are dragon veins near the Yuantai Mountain where I practice, and there is also a dragon aura. I didn’t expect this prince to report my remarks to Lord Qianlong afterwards. I know that If you say something like this, you will be held accountable, and you will probably lose your life."

What Taoist Shimen said is true, it was a feudal society at that time, the imperial power was supreme, and the dragon veins were the top secret of the state, and no one but the royal family could know.Taoist Shimen actually revealed the location of the dragon's veins. According to the old system, it is definitely not allowed, and he must be punished. Losing his life is the lightest punishment.

Chapter 1115 How the Underground Palace Was Built (...

Shimen Taoist was expressionless, and then said: "However, I had wasted seventy years at that time, and I have already seen life and death. I said it and said it, and I have no regrets. This is indeed a good place for Fengshui. Dragon Qi Very prosperous. Taking this to inform the imperial court is also a little contribution from my many years of cultivation."

I was very surprised: "You mean, you were already seventy at that time?"

Taoist Shimen nodded: "That's right, what you saw was my appearance back then. A cultivator, the six roots are clean, and his face looks tender."

I'm so sorry about this, it's not just a tender face.Looking at the image of Taoist Shimen, he is at most 30 years old.Who would have thought that he was over 70 years old.It can be seen from this that the Shimen Taoist's practice has reached a certain level.

"At that time, my disciples were all persuading me to leave the Taoist temple and hide for a while. The world is so big, there must be a place for me to stay. But I still stayed in the Taoist temple. Later, things developed in a different direction. I didn't wait to arrest My people waited for someone who respectfully invited me. They took me secretly to the capital, and I actually met the current Holy One."

"Have you seen Lord Qianlong?"

The Taoist of Shimen nodded: "The main thing is that the prince recommended me to the emperor, so I was able to meet Long Yan. In fact, there are many people around the emperor who are more powerful than me. At that time, Lord Qianlong retreated from the surroundings, leaving me alone. Have a long talk."

When Taoist Shimen said this, a hint of pride and relief appeared on his face.It seems that even for a person with such a profound practice, having the opportunity to have a long talk with the emperor is something worthy of special mention.We must know that in the imperial power society, where the emperor's supreme status is placed, ordinary people may find it hard to see the holy face in a few lifetimes.

"What did Lord Qianlong tell you?" I asked curiously.At this time, I have been completely substituted into the events of 200 years ago by Taoist Shimen.

"At the beginning, I just discussed the Tao with me. I also told Lord Qianlong what I realized after practicing. Later, Lord Qianlong was thoughtful and seemed to have something hard to say. After I asked, he gave I looked at a copper coin he was wearing."

"Five emperors' money? Is it Qianlong Tongbao?" I interrupted and asked.

Taoist Shimen nodded: "That copper coin looks very delicate, and it was worn by Lord Qianlong. It's just that there are many fine lines on it, and it looks like it's about to crack. I know, it's because the dragon spirit has weakened. Omen, this indicates that the throne will not last long. Lord Qianlong did not hide it from me, and asked me if there is a way to restore the king's money to its original state?"

With Taoist Shimen's explanation, the incident seems to have moved closer to what we inferred before.

Sure enough, Taoist Shimen told Lord Qianlong that if he wanted to restore the king's money, he could only replenish the dragon's energy.

Lord Qianlong seemed very excited. He said that he heard from that prince that near Yuantai Mountain, there are dragon veins, which can replenish dragon energy.

Taoist Shimen said that this is indeed a feasible method, but it is easier said than done.Detailed planning and possibly a series of construction works are required.

Lord Qianlong said that this matter can only be done in secret, and he doesn't want the world to leave a story.

I nodded: "As an emperor, when he has been in power for 60 years, he will definitely abdicate. And he supplemented the king's money with dragon energy to give himself a high-sounding reason to continue the throne. Of course he will not To make this method of replenishing dragon energy public can only be done in secret. When he met you for the first time, he was able to tell you about this, it seems that Lord Qianlong has great trust in you."

Daoist Shimen said with a smile: "You're right, I'm actually surprised by this."

In fact, this Taoist priest of Shimen exudes a special temperament from the inside to the outside.Maybe there was no such thing as temperament during the Qianlong period, but he just has the feeling that people trust him at first sight.I was like this just now, when Daoist Shimen asked me something, I actually told him without reservation.

I thought it was only a small person like me who felt this way, but I didn't expect that a person with such a noble status as Lord Qianlong would trust Daoist Shimen so much.It can be seen that Taoist Master Shimen's cultivation base has reached a very high level.

Priest Shimen smiled wryly again, and said: "This kind of trust is sometimes not a good thing. Lord Qianlong told me his thoughts and plans, which actually pointed out a way for me to go. He asked me to help him supervise Building an underground palace, because the underground palace involves some mysterious things, so my task is to ensure the smooth progress of the entire project in terms of Fengshui and Taoism. I know that once I accept this task, I may put myself in it. Even if One day the underground palace will be completed, and Lord Qianlong will not let me return to the Taoist temple."

I understand what Daoist Shimen means. Lord Qianlong is the current saint, and he cannot allow his selfishness to be known by the world.Even if Taoist priest Shimen would keep his mouth shut, as an emperor, he might not believe it.We can only take measures to prevent Taoist Master Shimen from speaking, either under house arrest, or... silence.

I asked again: "Since the Taoist priest is unwilling to help the emperor with this matter, he can refuse. I think you are a monk, and the emperor believes in Taoism so much, so it may not be possible to force you."

Daoist Shimen shook his head: "You are wrong. Since Lord Qianlong has told me his thoughts, it means that I have no way out. Think about it, if I decline this matter, Lord Qianlong will let me go back To the Taoist Temple? Isn't he afraid that I will leak the news? So when he told me his thoughts, I knew that I had been trapped by the emperor."

I sighed, "I didn't expect Lord Qianlong to be such a calculating person."

Daoist Shimen waved his hands and said: "Actually, Lord Qianlong is a very good emperor. He must think much more than ordinary people like me when he is on the throne. We can still make mistakes in our work, but he does things , must be foolproof. This is the difference between an emperor and ordinary people. I understand him, and I think he is a good emperor. If he is no longer on the throne, I don’t know if the next emperor will be able to achieve his achievements So in the final analysis, I am also willing to give up my own interests to help him, and I help him voluntarily. To put it a bit bigger, I only help him for the sake of the common people.”

I nodded: "Later you brought a hundred disciples to participate in the construction of the underground palace."

Taoist priest Shimen shook his head and said: "Not so many, I didn't intend to take disciples to build the underground palace. But the scope of this underground palace is huge, and I can't do it without people around me. I only brought ten direct disciples, and another fifty The Taoist priests were recruited by the royal family from all over the country, and I will dispatch them in a unified way. Also, as you said, the construction of this underground palace is extremely complicated. In addition to our Taoist priests, there is also Shi Zhengyang, who is known as the world's number one stone maker. Subordinate disciples participate in..."

Chapter 1116 How the Underground Palace Was Built (...

Before I met this Taoist master Shimen, most of what I knew was speculation and inference, and a lot of content was heard.This time I actually met someone who personally participated in the construction of the underground palace, and I really want to hear more clues from him.

So when I heard this, I asked curiously: "Then Shi Zhengyang really brought three thousand disciples to participate in the construction? Were all these disciples buried in the underground palace later?"
