Bu Tian Gang

It took a while before he digested what Long Shen said just now.

"You mean, I can't invite God anymore?"

Long Shen nodded: "The last time you invited the gods in Liang Qiwei's tomb, it directly caused you to be in poor spirits and your inner breath is disordered. If you use it again, even if you practice breathing skills for a year, you will not be able to recover. Please God is something that consumes a lot of energy. Zhong Yuyi is different from ordinary people because one of his great ancestors met a great opportunity, and Luansheng's blood has been passed down from generation to generation. But even he can't keep up with other people. member."

Seeing that the winter solstice was sluggish, he slowed down his tone: "This time the incident happened suddenly. I know that you are trying to prevent the explosion. It is my responsibility. After you recover well, I will teach you other things, please God, Don't use it any more."

Master said something so solemnly, Dong Zhi naturally had to nod in agreement.

"Master, what are the altars and grooves for? Why are there so many ghosts behind them?"

Long Shen said: "Are you in the mood to listen now?"

Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "I slept so badly that I almost got moldy! Are we still near the Xixia King's Tomb?"

Long Shen nodded: "Still in Yinchuan, wait until you are almost recovered from your injuries, then go back. Someone from the sub-bureau has already tried to find the remains of Zhou Yue and Xing Qiaosheng, and Chen Xun, he may have inhaled some magic energy, and the situation is a bit bad now , is being rescued."

When this matter was mentioned, Dong Zhi's mood inevitably became heavy. Although he had no contact with these people, they all lived and died together down there. If there were no accidents, they would become members of the Special Administration Bureau to work together in the future.

But now, accidents still occur, and some people leave the team forever.

Before the departure, Song Ju's words of the death rate, which still lingered in their ears, became an eternal prophecy for these people.

Long Shen said: "I have already asked someone to translate the Xixia script on the stone tablet in front of the tomb. That tomb is indeed Liang Qiqi's tomb. But that tomb was originally prepared for the Empress Dowager Liang."

Winter Solstice let out a cry: "In general, isn't the emperor and empress buried together?"

Long Shen: "When the Empress Dowager Liang was in charge of the government, power was in the hands of the people. She hoped that her rule would be as permanent as the country, and she hoped that she would live forever, so Liang Weiwei thought of a way to help her."

This is also normal. Since ancient times, those who have no money want money, and those who have money want power. Having power is not enough, and they begin to yearn for immortality and eternal power. Even though the Queen Mother Liang is a woman, there is no exception.

She was originally not the concubine queen of Li Liangzuo, Emperor Yizong of Xixia, but his sister-in-law. Because she had committed adultery with him, she tipped off his husband's family and cheated her husband's family, so she became the queen.Such a woman, of course, would not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

After Li Liangzuo died, Empress Dowager Liang began to take power as a Han woman, but Xixia was ruled by party members, so of course she would not worship Han women. Katerina II's method is to please the Xixia nobles by changing her position and identity, and to use war externally to divert domestic conflicts.

Liang Qiqi took a fancy to her unwillingness to let go of power, and suggested to her that he could help Queen Mother Liang achieve her wish.This person is indeed skilled in the art of empathy, but his mind is not right, and he can't get along in the Central Plains, so he can only go to the Queen Mother Liang in the end.

Empress Dowager Liang had heard of his name for a long time, and was overjoyed when she saw people. Regardless of the general atmosphere of worshiping Buddhism in Xixia, she granted Liang Qiqi for reuse, and ordered him to let go of it as soon as possible.

Liang Qiqi took people to investigate everywhere, and finally found such a place, located near the Xixia King's Mausoleum, known as a geomantic treasure, and encouraged the Queen Mother Liang to build a clothes tomb here.

The so-called Clothes Tomb is to put the clothes used by the deceased in the tomb as a substitute when the body of the deceased cannot be found.But Liang Wei's Clothes Tomb did not mean this. According to him, this Clothes Tomb is closely related to the luck of the Empress Dowager Liang. As long as the Clothes Tomb is well arranged, the Empress Dowager Liang's luck will also be prosperous.

The Liang family is the queen mother of a country, what else do they need to thrive?Naturally, she would be invincible, even break into the Central Plains, unify the world, and become a unified queen.

How to make the Clothes Tomb exert its power?Liang Qi thought of another method, blood sacrifice.

Xixia and Song Dynasty fought in Yongle City. The Song Dynasty was defeated and more than [-] men died. Xixia also suffered heavy casualties. Under the instructions of the Queen Mother Liang, many corpses were transported here and sent to the cave behind the tomb.

As for how the cave was formed, how Liang Qiqi discovered it, and whether he knew of the existence of the three-headed python, there is no record on the stone tablet.

However, Liang Qi not only used sacrifices of the dead to set up the formation, but also sacrificed the blood of living people. According to inferences, he probably killed the craftsmen in the back of the tomb after the Xixia craftsmen built the tomb.In fact, he didn't need to do it himself, the terrain of the underground cave was complicated, the glazed grass made people lose their way and six senses, and there were three fierce beasts like giant pythons, as long as the stone gate was closed, those craftsmen could only die inside.

Long Shen said: "The flesh and blood of all people will be collected from the soil into the underground river, and the tomb will lead the river water into the lower layer of the coffin. As time goes on, the resentment of the dead will continue to accumulate, and it will send vitality to the owner of the coffin. Liang Wei's original idea It should be that Queen Mother Liang's birth date and puppet clothes were placed in the coffin to replace her, so as to boost her luck. Unexpectedly, after the tomb was completed, Queen Mother Liang changed her mind, and finally it was herself Lie in."

The winter solstice couldn't explain it: "Then why didn't Liang Qi change himself?"

Long Shen said: "We speculate that it may be that the junction under the coffin that connects to the river has not been opened, or that the later stage of the project has not been completed, or that someone stopped him. These are not recorded on the epitaph. We will wait until we have a chance in the future. Got the truth."

Winter Solstice still felt a little unbelievable. After killing so many people, it was too late for these people to be full of resentment. How could it possibly contribute to the luck of the Empress Dowager Liang?Queen Mother Liang is not a fool, how could she believe Liang Qiqi's nonsense?

He asked this doubt.

Long Shen said: "He didn't deceive Empress Dowager Liang, all things must be reversed. I said last time that geomantic treasure lands may not be incapable of being transformed into fierce lands. Similarly, he has used resentment to the extreme, and it is indeed possible to transform it into vitality. He once As a disciple of a famous teacher, if he has no ability, the Queen Mother Liang will not use him."

Winter Solstice said: "So, the altar was not built during the time of Queen Mother Liang, so when was it built?"

Long Shen said: "The history of the altar is far longer than that of Xixia. The bronze mirror is the key to open the altar. Liang Qiqi probably went to the altar, took out the bronze mirror, and put it in the tomb."

The winter solstice had a flash of inspiration: "Under that groove is a stele? The Japanese want to blow up the stele?!"

Long Shen nodded.

Winter Solstice frowned: "What is the secret on the stele? Why did the Japanese destroy it?"

Long Shen: "To be precise, it is the demon who wants to destroy it. There may be some kind of interest relationship between the demon and Otowa Hatohiko. We are still investigating the specific situation."

Time was running out, so Long Shen took a quick glance and found that the stone tablet under the altar and the one on Changbai Mountain should have come from the same magic circle, so before leaving, he turned back and placed a small talisman array underneath as a defense to prevent the soil layer from Crush the stele when it collapses.Later, send people back to clean up and protect the stele.

Winter Solstice said: "Then the murals found in the northwest of Inner Mongolia last time...?"

Long Shen: "If I didn't guess wrong, those should be the reminders of the altar and the stele, but we couldn't interpret the meaning from them in time. If we could find this place and protect it earlier, we wouldn't let the devil almost succeed."

Winter Solstice thought for a while, and said, "Changbai Mountain is one place, in the northeast, and here is another place, in the northwest. Is this talisman array distributed according to azimuth?"

Long Shen nodded: "The talisman array can be divided into four directions, six directions, and eight directions. If you guess correctly, this should be an eight-direction talisman array."

Winter Solstice worried: "But even if this is the case, the scope is too wide, and the exact location is hard to find! Moreover, the specific burial methods of the steles are also different. For example, Changbai Mountain is guarded by bone dragons, while here, it is buried under the altar. , using the three-headed giant python, is it possible to find all the places where the beasts may appear?"

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up: "Fuxian Lake?"

But Long Shen shook his head: "There is indeed a demonic energy under Fuxian Lake, but judging from He Yu's feedback, it is currently ruled out that it is related to the stone tablet."

Moreover, it is likely to have nothing to do with demons.

This means that on the vast land, there are other ferocious monsters, perhaps even more powerful than humans and demons.

The elimination of demons is not the end, but just the beginning.

But he didn't say that.

These rookies had just put their lives on the line on a mission and needed rest, not worse news.

Dong Zhi didn't notice Long Shen's implication, and now he felt dizzy when he thought about it: "Where can I find it?"

He is a person who can't hide his thoughts, his joy and anger are written on his face, even his worries are more vivid than others, his brows are wrinkled, and there are two big words of worry in his eyes.

Ordinarily, Long Shen was also worried about this matter, but seeing him like this, he still couldn't help laughing.

"China is too big, and there is no better way at present. You have already contributed to the successful protection of a stone tablet this time, so take a good rest and don't think too much."

Long Shen paused, as if thinking of something, "You asked God to deal with that person before, do you know who you invited?"

Winter Solstice said confusedly: "It sounds like a female voice... By the way, she said that she is just a ray of divine sense that is about to dissipate, and my body can't hold more power, so I left soon."

Long Shen was thoughtful.

Winter Solstice: "It can't be, Empress Dowager Liang? Or some kind of empress from Xixia?"

Long Shen shook his head: "The one you invited should be an upright god. Only an upright god can have such great power."

Dong Zhi opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, unable to imagine that he was so lucky.

The underground is impassable on all sides, and the ground is covered with Gobi yellow sand. There is nothing. If you want to talk about Yin gods, they are at most those soldiers and craftsmen who died in vain in the cave before, and the tomb owner in front of the cave. Didn't expect much either.

"Which righteous god did I invite?"

Long Shen muttered: "According to the epitaph, Liang Qi discovered the stone statue and altar underground, so he concluded that the place was once a place where humans sacrificed in the pre-Qin period, and the object of their sacrifice was the stone statue, that is, Houtu."

Winter Solstice was taken aback.

It's just... amazing luck.

Houtu, known as Houtu empress among the people, and the official title is Empress Dowager Land of Empress Dowager, who follows the law of heaven and imitates the virtues of great virtue. The former is a person who existed in reality and was conferred as a god after death, while Houtu Niangniang is completely part of the mythology. The legends related to her have never been cut off since the birth of this nation.

In legends, she often appears as a woman and is in charge of all land affairs in the world, including the lands of Yin and Yang. The statues in the temple, the symbol of a nation, nothing more.

During the winter solstice, I still couldn't believe it: "I met Empress Houtu?"

Long Shen said: "It's not the deity, it's just a ray of her spiritual thoughts. All god statues are enshrined and incensed by people for a long time, and they always have the power of faith. This power of faith is spiritual thoughts. That stone statue may have been worshiped by the ancestors. Worship and offerings, there are still negligible spiritual thoughts on it, you go, invite the gods, just meet, even if you don't invite the gods, she will dissipate on her own in a short time."

But even a ray of divine sense is a very extraordinary thing.

In everything that is gained, there must be sacrifices. This time, the Great God was invited, and at this price, it was expected that he would not be able to invite God again in the future.

Winter Solstice recalled intermittently: "At that time, I remember she told me that it was not easy for that person to cultivate, and God has the virtue of being good at life, so he didn't kill them all, leaving him with a chance of survival."

Long Shen nodded, and he had a clue in his mind: "The other party should be an artifact cultivated to become a master, no wonder he is so powerful."

Dong Zhi rubbed his eyes: "Master, what about your injury, are you alright?"

Long Shen said: "My injury is an internal injury, which has been left for a long time. It only depends on the severity. It will be fine to take care of it slowly. There is no major problem."

Winter Solstice snorted, his energy is very poor now, this conversation has exhausted him, and his face is tired.

"Go to sleep." Long Shen said.

The light in the ward is very good, even if the curtains are drawn, there is still a thin amount of sunlight filtering in.

Dong Zhi narrowed his eyes and took his hand that was placed by the bed.

"Master accompany me."

Now that he is injured on duty, it can be said that he can do whatever he wants.

If He Yu had acted so coquettishly, Long Shen would have let him know why Hua'er was so popular on the spot.

But after all, the winter solstice is different. The former has just entered the practice world, so he inevitably feels hesitant. For such a delicate little apprentice, Long Shen unknowingly gave too much tolerance and preferential treatment.

"Go to sleep." He pulled his hand away from the other party, but put it on Dong Zhi's eyes.

In lieu of a blindfold, to shield him from excess light.

The warmth on the eyelids is reassuring, and within a moment, the winter solstice will soon fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing that he was fast asleep, Long Shen removed his hand, got up and left the ward.

As soon as the door was closed, the phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was a familiar number.

"Wu Bureau?"

"Long Ju, how are you doing, are you in good health?"

"Fortunately, is there any news from the Japanese?" Long Shen asked.

Wu Bingtian didn't exchange much greetings, and went directly to the topic: "Yes, the news that Fujikawa is in our hands has been leaked here, and the Japanese side came to contact soon, but it was the Japanese government, not the Otowa Foundation. The Otowa Foundation directly contacted us. Putting aside the ties to this operation, he said that the president did not know about it, and never let anyone from the Otowa family come to China to carry out illegal activities. Everything was done by Saburo Otowa. Accept the sanctions of Chinese law, and the Otowa Foundation respects the ruling of Chinese law and international law."

Otowa Saburo is dead, and there are only a few young people left, and you can't ask anything, but even if Otowa Saburo is still alive, it's useless. The Otowa Foundation has already said that these shitty things are all Otowa Saburo himself. Make up your mind, come to China to do anything wrong, it is your business to kill or cut into pieces, our president will kill relatives righteously, will not interfere, and leave everything clean.

It's useless to entangle in this kind of matter, Long Shen directly skipped the section on the Yinyu Foundation: "What does the Japanese government say?"

Wu Bingtian said: "They offered to redeem Fujikawa with money."

Before he mentioned how much money, Long Shen said: "No, I need someone to change it, I want Dong Jilan."

Wu Bingtian: "Dragon Bureau..."

Long said in a deep voice: "Ju Wu, you don't know my intentions."

Wu Bingtian slowed down his tone: "I know, Longju, Dong Jilan is our hero. Decades ago, if he hadn't sneaked into Japan to spoil the good deeds of the priests, and prevented the possible catastrophe in time, maybe we I don't know how much trouble I have to deal with now."

Long Shen said: "Decades ago, the Special Management Bureau had not yet been established. At that time, everything was waiting to be done, and everything was just getting started. There was no way to recruit manpower here. Elder Zong had no choice but to use Dong Jilan's chess piece. Later, She has been blaming herself, and I have also gone to Japan to investigate, but I still can't find his whereabouts."

Wu Bingtian: "Over the past few years, no matter what methods we have used, they have refused to admit the existence of this person. Have you ever thought that he may have unfortunately died?"

Long Shen said: "The last time they went to Changbai Mountain through legal channels, we, as a law enforcement agency, have to abide by the rules of the game, so I have no objection to letting them go. But this time, Fujikawa came to the door himself, and this chip must not be easily let go. It happened to be exchanged for Dong Jilan, and if he was still alive, the Japanese would agree."

Wu Bingtian was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and said, "The above means that we accept the condition of using money to redeem people."

Long Shen: "Above? Is it Jiang Bureau?"

Wu Bingtian euphemistically said: "Ju Long, after all, he is the director sent by the higher-ups. He is not only coordinating the work, but also supervising us. The three of us are practitioners. There is definitely no way to be truly impartial, so Director Jiang is the most trusted by the higher-ups." people, you understand what I mean?"

Long Shen couldn't tell whether he was angry or not: "Wu Bureau means to support Jiang Bureau's decision?"

Wu Bingtian made a haha, but did not answer directly: "I also put the overall situation first! Dragon Bureau, let's talk heart-to-heart. Comrade Dong Jilan's sacrifice back then made my heart ache, but I have to look forward in everything. I don’t support using Fujikawa as a bargaining chip, but there are considerations above, so we should be more considerate.”

Long Shen said lightly: "Don't worry, this matter will not embarrass Bureau Wu. I have already informed the elder Zong, and she will try to persuade the higher-ups. Even if Dong Jilan can't be exchanged, a Fujikawa Aoi, a majestic Japanese royal family Onmyojis who have to be reused should not only be worth such vulgar money, they should be exchanged for something else."

Wu Bingtian was a little annoyed: "Long Shen! I discussed it with you in a good voice, but you went directly to Mr. Zong across Jiang Bureau. What do you mean! If the higher-ups ask me about this matter, I will not agree to it! "

Long Shen: "We arrested Fujikawa, and Bureau Song agreed. When the time comes to ask for opinions, Bureau Wu's opinion may be isolated."

"Okay, this time you're being cruel!" Wu Bingtian sneered and hung up the phone directly.

He put down the phone, just in time to see Xie Qingning coming out of the ward.

Xie Qingning's injuries were considered minor, she only suffered some skin trauma, and she didn't need to be hospitalized. Now she is temporarily staying in the hotel next to the office, and she comes to visit her companions every day.

Seeing Long Shen approaching, she quickly stopped to say hello.

"Good morning Dragon Bureau!"

Long Shen nodded slightly.

"Dragon Game!" She called to the other party, hesitated, and asked, "Is Fujikawa Aoi still in our hands?"

Long Shen: "Yes."

Xie Qingning said: "I heard that Fujikawa is very famous in Japan, Japan will definitely come to ask for someone, we won't be under pressure, should we return the person to them?"

Long Shen said: "There are considerations from above. No matter what the situation is, we must obey the order. However, even if we really want to pay it back, they will have to pay a certain price. It is impossible to give it back for nothing."

Xie Qingning was a little disappointed by the previous words, but she only showed a gratified expression when she heard the latter.

"That's good. As long as it's not returned in vain, I think Zhou Yue and Xing Qiao will feel that their own sacrifices are worthwhile."

Xie Qingning couldn't hide her sadness with a smile. Since the training, she had the best friendship with Zhou Yue and Ouyang Yin. Even the winter solstice would be sad for the sacrifice of her companions, let alone Xie Qingning.

"The country and the nation will never forget everyone who has paid for the country."

After saying this, Long Shen left.

Seeing his gradually receding figure, Xie Qingning lowered her head and blinked away the moisture in her eyes.
