Gospel of Lazy Cancer

"The woman in the secret passage, were you locked in?"

Yao Chen's question, in the eyes of the scribe-looking man, was a tacit acceptance of his identity as the proprietress, otherwise he would never have known about the mechanism of the inn's secret room.

The man was secretly happy, he didn't care about the impoliteness in the other party's words, as long as the lady boss admitted her identity, it would be easy to deal with later.Relying on his strong martial arts, he was not overly vigilant when dealing with the proprietress who had lost her martial arts, and was very calm.

"That's right. I heard about you from the Western Regions, and I came to investigate. I happened to see the scholar and the guard's daughter fighting indoors, so I intervened." He didn't talk much about this matter, and said, "You have been away from teaching for many years. I don't know The recent situation in the church, and since the turmoil, the leader passed away, the church has been in turmoil, the forces are divided, and there is no climate." He seemed to be hinting at something.

Yao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he won the bet, this person is the murderer behind the scenes, and the two belong to the same Jianghu sect.At the same time, more questions arose, which force did they come from?It seems to be related to the Western Regions...

Yao Chen didn't believe what the man said, there is no coincidence in the world, did he really get involved in the city defense map theft case by chance?Is he related to the Luoshu League who tried to sell the city defense map?

"How are you doing?" Yao Chen asked tentatively.

The man thought he was asking how to deal with the guarding daughter, and said: "After you get out of the city defense map, I will deal with it. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Yao Chen's heart tightened: You killed her to embarrass me!

He remembered that in addition to protecting his vest, he also had to settle the case of the city defense plan. Not only did he have to close it, but he also had to do it beautifully, otherwise it would not look good to the court if it spread.

This time it's the city defense map, if the daughter of a fifth-rank official dies, will it be an official seal next time?Chuan Guo Yuxi?Even the emperor's head?

If all the people from the rivers and lakes come to pluck the tiger's beard and teeth, and lead the tiger out for a walk, the prestige of the court will be wiped out.

Yao Chen felt that his life was miserable.

Yao Chen thought for a while and said, "It's just a piece of waste paper, and the court has already become vigilant, and I'm afraid it will change its defenses."

The man looked like he was holding the pearls of wisdom: "The guard now thinks that his daughter is dead, and those who know about the theft of the city defense map are dead. He may not dare to tell the truth to the court, otherwise his official position will be lost if the court investigates it. "

"Also, it doesn't matter if it's fake, as long as someone thinks it's true, am I right?"

The man looked surprised, wondering how the other party knew what he was thinking.

"The scholar is a member of the Luoshu League, but you killed him. I'm afraid he is an enemy and not a friend of his power. It may not necessarily mean that they can benefit from it. Moreover, stealing city defense maps and selling them is a bad move in itself. Fishy, ​​not like what you would do. Therefore, I deduce that you are not with them, but the oriole behind the mantis and cicada."

"As expected of the protector of the Dharma King." The man praised, admiring the wisdom and sensitivity of the proprietress very much.

Oh, so the proprietress has such a high status?

While collecting information, Yao Chen diverted the man's attention to prevent him from focusing on his identity and discovering doubts.

"How do you plan to use the city defense map?"

The man smiled and didn't answer. He didn't trust the proprietress very much, and he didn't want to talk about it. Confirming the identity of the proprietress this time is already a great achievement. The future will be long, and he feels that it is not appropriate to rush. The two will soon have nothing to say, and he politely leaves .

This confrontation lasted only half an hour, but Yao Chen felt that a year had passed, his brainpower was exhausted, and his temples were throbbing with pain.

According to the known information so far, there is a simple character in the proprietress's name, she is highly skilled in martial arts, and she practiced exercises to forget love.She and this middle-aged man belong to the same faction, and she does have a treasure on her body, which is coveted.This force has existed for more than a hundred years, and its financial resources are good, at least surpassing the small countries in the Western Regions. There have been civil strife, which has led to the current weakening of its strength, and the Worry Inn is one of its strongholds. The proprietress left the inn 19 years ago. The reason is unknown .

On the other hand, the case of the theft of the city defense map has been found out. The seller is indeed Luo Shumeng. The buyer is unknown, but Jinyiwei encountered a Tatar attack on his westward journey, or it may be related to it.The murdered scholar has appeared, but the guarded daughter is still not rescued...

He sorted out the information he got today, stared at the next door, and asked the waiter to run ten miles away before releasing the pigeons.

For the next three days, Yao Chen lived in peace with the man, and the latter often disappeared. Seeing that he was alive and kicking without taking the drug, Yao Chen felt a pity for a while.

That day the man left the inn again, Yao Chen entered the secret room again while he was away, this time he made a thorough investigation.

He went to see the guarding daughter first, and the acupuncture points on her body had been automatically unlocked, but she hadn't had a drop of water for several days and was very weak. Yao Chen felt a little guilty, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Some water and rice soup.

"That man is skilled in martial arts, I dare not rescue you, I can only wrong you."

"Since you appeared, the person who kidnapped me has never been here." The guard girl said with difficulty, she turned her head and refused the feeding from the proprietress, Yao Chen was surprised.

She said in a tone of confession: "His purpose does not seem to be for the city defense map. At that time, I was caught by the scholar. He tortured me several times every day, but the man caught me, but he didn't mention it at all. .If I die, that person will definitely be poisoned when he touches my body, and that will be our chance."

Finally, she begged the proprietress: "In case something happens to me, please tell my father that my daughter is not filial, she knows her mistakes, and her wrongdoing will hurt the family. Let me die with the secret of the city defense map. This is what I can do for my family." The last thing to do..."

"I promise you." Yao Chen solemnly promised.

Yao Chen also explored several other secret passages. These passages are probably used for hiding and escaping. There are no traps. Some of them lead directly to the inner rooms, and there are gold, silver and food supplies in them. to the outside.Due to years of terrain changes or man-made destruction, some exits have been blocked, and the remaining exits are very hidden, which is good for escape.

Yao Chen's biggest achievement is in several stone rooms.One is probably a place for secret discussions and gatherings, with stone tables, benches, kettles, teacups, etc., and the other is a resting place. There are traces of people’s lives, including stone beds and bedding, futons for practicing meditation, and even gold-plated mercury. Mirror and jeweled dowry case.

There are carvings on the walls of the interior, saying:

"The holy fire is shining brightly, and the holy light is shining. All my disciples work together with one heart. Pity me, the world, who are helpless and helpless. All things are blessed, only because of the light.

"Bright and loving father, knowing righteousness and understanding, enlightening me to clarify my heart, and enlightening my nature. Pity me in this world, which is polluted by demon dust, eliminates evil and promotes good, only because of light.

"How happy is life, why is death so painful, the blazing holy fire burns my remnant body. Twelve permanent treasures, universal enlightenment, wonderful voices to guide the way, boundless pure land." (Quoted from Jianwang [-])

Yao Chen came out of the secret path, feeling complicated.

Made is actually a Mingjiao!

Speaking of Mingjiao, one has to mention Zhu Baba, the founder of the dynasty.

During the Yuan and Mongolian reigns, excessive levies were imposed, and the common people were exploited. The people were forced to a desperate situation, and they rose up, and the heroes of the world responded one after another.

Hunger was everywhere, and the young Zhu Baba was about to starve to death. He heard from the villagers that if he walked with the fairy, he would have something to eat, so he went with them.

It was only later that I found out that it was not a fairy leader, but an ordinary disciple of Mingjiao who pretended to be a Taoist priest. When they recruited a few young men from them to join the group, they were promoted to small bosses.

Zhu Baba didn't care, after all, in the era of war and chaos, it was better to have a full stomach than anything else, but where in the world is there a free lunch?They didn't have a few drills before they were rushed to the battlefield.

The worst thing he did in the past was stealing two steamed buns from the landlord's house, chasing and kicking the dog he bit, but now he wants him to kill.

But in order to survive, he became an excellent soldier, and because of his quick mind, he was appreciated by the higher-ups of the Ming Cult, taught martial arts, and climbed to the position of general within a few years.

Later, the Tatars were driven away, and various warlords competed in the Central Plains. In the final battle, Zhu Baba, who was born as a farmer, won, ascended to the throne of God, and ruled the world.

Regardless of whether Mingjiao helped him reach the summit, his Mingjiao membership is firmly established and there is no grievance.

Mingjiao disciples became emperors, what kind of experience did they have with Mingjiao?

Mingjiao made all kinds of reasonable demands: If you helped you conquer the world and won the battle, Mingjiao must be the state religion, right?Why does the leader want to be on the same level as you?The taxation of the world, just give us half of it, but Mingjiao sub-forums will bloom everywhere...

What is even more disturbing is that Mingjiao originated in Persia. The head teacher of Persia heard the news and summoned the emperor to go to Persia to meet the leader of the head altar. The two countries are brothers to each other. Of course, Persia is the eldest brother.

What kind of Mingjiao is this? Just change the name to the Sun Moon God Sect!

How can Zhu Baba be a kind-hearted and open-minded person who can stand out among the heroes?

He kept his composure, listened to all the reasonable requests, and thought of a countermeasure.

His method is very simple - to kill.

Mingjiao did not expect that one of the most outstanding disciples in history that they had cultivated by themselves would attack them directly. They still fantasized about spreading light all over the land of the Central Plains!

Caught off guard, the Ming Cult suffered heavy losses, and countless congregants died in vain.

Tai/Zu listed Mingjiao as illegal, ordered it to disband, and arrested the leader believers across the country.

Although the method is crude, it is very useful. In the later period, the Mingjiao expanded rapidly, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons. Not all those who joined the Mingjiao were devout believers, and there were also people who were opportunistic and political investors.

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing him banqueting guests, seeing his building collapsed.

The Mingjiao tree fell and the monkeys scattered, only a few disciples with high martial arts skills and loyalty remained.

Although there are not many people, these are hard bones and very difficult to crack. Tai/Zu mobilized countless elite soldiers and generals to besiege them, and the attack for several months was fruitless.

Under the stalemate, the two sides negotiated and finally reached an agreement: those who are willing to leave the Mingjiao and surrender, barely survive; those who are unwilling, get out of his territory.

So the Mingjiao in the Central Plains returned to the west. Tens of thousands of people left their homeland and crossed the Gobi desert. They couldn't survive the scorching sun and wind and sand. Sand engulfed.

In the desert wind and sand, away from the rain of human blood.

In addition to those who were expelled, there are many pious believers with noble morals in Mingjiao. They do not want to leave their homeland, nor do they want to change their beliefs.

It is said that half of the sky was reddened by the fire that night, and hundreds of relics were picked up from the embers, and were offered in Daming Temple. Daming Temple was later changed to Hongluo Temple, and some people rumored that the name was Tai/Zuqingai.

At this time, it has been more than a hundred years since he left the country. Counting the years, Wuyou Inn has been the stronghold of Mingjiao, and the time even exceeds the history of the current dynasty. It can be seen that Mingjiao is deeply rooted and difficult to eradicate.Even if the name of Mingjiao is rarely heard in the Central Plains, it does not mean that it has declined, it only shows that they are more cunning, low-key and better at hiding.

Once the emperor's ancestors are involved, things will not be simple.

Yao Chen had a premonition that he might never be able to return to the prosperous imperial capital.

Sure enough, Dongchang reported to the emperor immediately after receiving Yao Chen's previous report.

Wangqing Jue was recorded in the imperial secret file, and it was confirmed as Mingjiao exercise. This is the first time Mingjiao has revealed its whereabouts in a hundred years, and the emperor attaches great importance to it.

The garrison's daughter stole the city defense map, and she has already committed the crime of beheading. Although she was coaxed and a victim, it is understandable, but the law will not forgive her. Her current status is a fugitive.If her corpse is used as bait to catch the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult, this deal is quite a bargain.

It's just that Yao Chen's identity will be exposed once he does it, and he can no longer act as the inn proprietress.

There are not many opportunities to penetrate the enemy's interior like this.

Although there are many dangers involved, because the matter is of great importance, the emperor personally approved and ordered Yao Chen to continue to lurk, to investigate the Mingjiao affairs in depth, and to grant a gold medal seal, which can be dispatched to various guards and Jinyiwei to act cheaply.

At the same time, Dongchang also sent all the existing information about Mingjiao.

Yao Chen discovered that there was once a protector of the Dharma King in Persian Mingjiao with the Chinese name Jian, who was most likely the elder of the proprietress; the identity of the man was also found out. All-rounder in civil and military affairs, resourceful and resourceful, he is good at counseling and strategizing. He has been traveling in the Western Regions all year round. Some people have seen him go east, and it is said that he has come to the Central Plains.

Most of this information was obtained from inquiries in the Western Regions, and there was very little news from within the territory.

From this we can also see how deeply Mingjiao is hidden in the Central Plains, and the government is eager to investigate and grasp Mingjiao's activities in the Central Plains.

Yao Chen sighed, and had no choice but to change the original plan, and continue to fight with the Mingjiao Zuo Shishi to fight against the yang deficiency.

He went to see the guard's daughter again, removed the drug from her clothes, brought her rice porridge and old ginseng soup, and planned to let her survive first.

"The plan has changed, you use something first."

Although the guard's daughter was extremely hungry, and there was a light of longing for food in her eyes, she suppressed it and closed her eyes.

"You are not an ordinary proprietress, are you? What is your identity?" She was locked in the secret room all day, and the woman could do nothing, but she had a lot of time to think. It is not normal for the proprietress to come into the secret room, and there are drugs, ordinary inn There will be such a thing?

"Don't be stubborn, if you want to survive, just listen to me." But the other party had already embraced death and was unmoved.

Yao Chen could only change his strategy: "Do you know Captain Lu? I spread the news that you are still alive, and he told me that your father is very happy to know that you are still alive, and he has already reported this matter to the court. The court granted you If you commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, your father and you can be exempted from the guilt of the crimes, and the past will not be blamed."

After hearing the words, the guard's daughter finally loosened her attitude.She had indeed heard about the affair between Colonel Lu and the proprietress's wife, because Captain Lu's family had a fierce wife, and tried to beat him into a pair of panda eyes to make her colleagues laugh at her, and the matter spread among the officials.She had heard it before, and wondered how charming this proprietress is...

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

"How dare I talk nonsense about a major court matter? If it wasn't for Captain Lu, I wouldn't want to get involved in such a thing!"

The woman finally believed: "Then what should I do?"

"Eat the food first." Yao Chen fed her mouthfuls at a very slow pace, afraid of hurting her stomach, and when she regained some mental strength, he narrated his strategy, and the latter memorized it while listening. If she didn't understand, he asked, Yao Chen found that she was quite talented, probably after this catastrophe, her mentality and intelligence had improved a lot, if she survived in the end, he might poach her back to work in Dongchang.

Shi Zhengyang found out that the proprietress was delivering food to the guarding daughter, he felt strange, not knowing the purpose, so he went to the door.

In the beginning, he kidnapped the guard's daughter and pretended to be dead. He did it for the purpose of city defense plan, to steal the Luoshu League's business, and let the court think that the crisis was over, so they relaxed their vigilance.

But then he received news that Jin Yiwei, who left the Wuyou Inn that day, actually killed all the Tatars on the frontier, which means that there is no buyer for this business now—he has been running around for the past few days, and it is also In order to rearrange.At this time, the guarding daughter had lost its value, so he locked her in the secret room and let her fend for herself. He didn't expect that the proprietress would intervene.

The proprietress of the inn seemed to expect him to come, she smiled lightly, and gave him a roll of blueprints, Shi Zhengyang took it, it was the Yinchuan city defense map.

"I got this out of the mouth of the guarding daughter."

"Sister Jian, what does this mean?"

"Brother Shi, please sit down, let's talk slowly." Yao Chen used this address, tried his best to keep his tone natural, and at the same time observed the other party's reaction, and found that everything was as usual, so he continued: "We meet again after a long absence, let's toast the east wind with wine." Speaking of pouring wine himself.

Shi Zhengyang regarded it as a show of favor to him, and was satisfied with the other party's understanding, and when he realized that the other party did not know further inside information, he felt relieved.

"It's been more than 20 years since I met several times in the general altar when I was young, and I don't want to blink," Shi Zhengyang said with emotion. Li, did not mention that the proprietress left her post without authorization and did something that was almost equivalent to betraying Mingjiao.

The two complimented each other a few words first, and they had a good time, before the proprietress said: "I got the news that the Yinchuan garrison has reported the whole story of this case to the imperial court, and the imperial court did not pursue the matter, but kept it secret. Old, according to the wind from him, the government has not changed its defenses."

"You mean, the imperial court plans to use their tricks?" Shi Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right," the landlady raised her lips, "We might as well borrow a knife to kill someone."

"This plan is very clever!" Shi Zhengyang clapped his palms and laughed, understanding that he was extremely proud of using the government to attack his opponents, "Brother, I would like to thank sister Jian for this great gift." He picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Yao Chen smiled and took a drink too.

That's right, borrow a knife to kill people, borrow your knife, and kill people from Luo Shumeng.
