Copper Coins Chapter 75: Nevi (2)
Taibu frowned and said, "Could it be that you never saw the ring finger? After all, the mole is so small that it is not noticeable."
"It's impossible." Taizhu shook his head and said, "I carefully looked at every finger, and I didn't miss any of my left and right hands. If I looked at half of them, how could I calculate the bones. I was considered audacious at that time, look. It's completely straight, so it's impossible to remember it wrong. What about you? Are you sure? After all, how many years ago did you meet the national teacher for the first time? A little vagueness is also possible."
"I have no chance of remembering it wrong." Taibu held the mask in his hand unconsciously and added: "Besides, if I remember wrongly, how could I happen to see it in the hands of the national teacher of Dustpan Mountain. The same mole?"
Indeed, the fallacy of such a coincidence is too rare to happen.
The two looked at each other, their brows furrowed and their faces solemn. If the moonlight was a little brighter at this time, it would be able to see through the eyes of the two of them, and they would be able to find that the depths of their eyes were filled with panic.
They seem to have accidentally discovered a shocking inner story: the same national teacher, the same national teacher they have seen, but with different characteristics, the possibility of one of them admitting mistakes has also been ruled out, so there is only one left. Next explanation -
The national teachers they saw were not one person at all, but two.
For a moment, the two of them almost forgot to breathe, and couldn't find their voices for a long time.
After a while, Tai Zhu said in a voice like someone was pinching his throat: "Could it be... but there's a little chance that the national teacher was impersonated?" He swallowed unconsciously while speaking. He spit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the voice was like a gossamer.
Because this can be frightening just to think about.
"What do you think? That's the national teacher..." The national teacher has always held a position like a mountain **** in Taibu's heart, so she almost immediately denied it, "How is it possible, the national teacher Would you allow others to pretend to be him? Who would have the guts to pretend to be a national teacher?"
Taizhu held his breath and thought about it, and then heaved a long sigh: "Indeed, the national teacher... should not be impersonated, after all, whether it is Taichang Temple or Tianjiyuan, it is not ordinary people who can fool If someone came in, if it was an insider..."
"Then it's even more impossible. You and I have high qualifications in Taichang Temple. Do you dare to pretend to be a national teacher?" Taibu said.
Taizhu waved his hands quickly, as if someone was putting a knife on his neck: "No no no no, I don't dare to give me eight courage."
"That's not it." Taibu frowned: "So, the possibility of impersonation is minimal."
After Taizhu thought about it, his face was a little stunned: "Is it possible that the national teacher acquiesced? Even..."
It was even arranged by the national teacher.
But why did the national teacher do this?
Of course, they have no way of knowing this.
What the national teacher does and how to do it will never be explained to them. In fact, the national teacher is a person with very few words. Thinking about it carefully, in the more than ten years that Taibu and Taizhu came to Taichang Temple, the number of times they heard the national teacher speak is very limited.
Except for his occasional raids to visit Taichang Temple, and once a year to Mount Tai to worship the sky, most of the time, the national teacher will not even open the gate of Tianjiyuan. He is like a strange hermit, but he lives in seclusion. The place is in the middle.
If he has any instructions, he often sends it directly to the other party by means of a letter.
The Taichang Temple belongs to him directly. Usually, if the people or the court need to use the people of Taichang Temple, they are all assigned by the national teacher. But as far as Taibu and the others know, the people who the national master can really assign are actually not the only ones from Taichang Temple.
Sometimes when they went to the national teacher to report the matter, they would see the national teacher burning letters, but no one in Taichang Temple received the order afterwards. It can be seen that in addition to the people on the bright side, the national teacher also has some people in the dark.
It's just that these have nothing to do with Taibu. After all, in addition to the people in Taichang Temple, there are also some talented people who do not want to come to the DPRK and are still hidden in the people. Therefore, in their opinion, the national teacher's The behavior is normal, and they are not qualified to intervene.
The entire Taichang Temple, and even most of the people in the court, even the one on the dragon chair, know that the national teacher has an eccentric temperament, and his temper is uncertain, and very people can figure it out. But there are always some quirks in the master, not to mention that the national teacher has gone through several generations, even the one on the dragon chair has to respect him in terms of qualifications, and in terms of ability, no one dares to compete with him, who will ask him no
What's more, although the national teacher is uncertain, he is not a domineering person. He rarely asks about reasons that have nothing to do with him, so sometimes even if his orders are confusing, other people in the court can do it. I did, and I wouldn't ask why.
"Hi--" Taizhu suddenly thought of something and gasped, "Do you remember the sea-capture documents that the national teacher told the officials to disperse?"
"Remember, the notice on the document has a somewhat similar face to Master Zhang Tongguo, who is also a monk. I was a little puzzled when I saw the document, so I asked a little more." Taibu said: "Shao Qing said He is also not clear about the intention of the national teacher, but he has heard that many years ago, before he took up the post of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, such a sea arrest document was issued once in various places. At that time, there were rumors that the country The teacher wants to..."
Taibu paused for a moment in embarrassment, then lowered his voice and said: "It's going to pass away, but some people in the people saw the announcement and spread out a lot, guessing a variety of possibilities, but it blurred the rumors that the national teacher passed away, in fact, at that time. The state of the national teacher is really bad, and he is not in Tianjiyuan. It is said that he has not shown up for more than a month, but he has returned to normal when he shows up again. So... I thought at the time, maybe this is the reason this time, after all, he was in retreat. At that time Shaoqing asked me not to ask more questions, and the national teacher later ordered everyone in Taichang Temple not to get involved, so I didn't think about it any more."
I wish to hear the words, but he pondered for a moment, then whispered: "If, I mean, is there any possibility that one of the two we have met has left the court? And this move, Not according to the wishes of the other, so..."
"So you need to use the sea capture documents to find the other party's trace?" Taibu continued his words and finished guessing, "but——"
Taizhu felt that he had found the right direction. He interrupted Taibu and said: "Otherwise, if it is purely for the sake of blurring folk rumors or other simple reasons, why did the national teacher bypass Taichang Temple? He wrote The local government issued a document, but it clearly ordered us not to intervene, why? No one of us dared to disobey his orders, and it has even become a habit for many years. It’s just a sea arrest document, even if it’s not within the scope of Taichang Temple’s purview, it’s not impossible, after all, it’s the order of the national teacher. Unless, he doesn’t want us to come into contact with certain things or some people because of the sea capture documents…”
"You mean..."
"If what he is looking for is another national teacher, and other people have no contact with the national teacher, even if they meet face-to-face, they will only be regarded as the person that the ordinary sea arrest document is looking for, and the news will naturally go to ordinary people. Report. But if we see..."
See the scene under Dustpan Mountain to see the consequences.
The two stopped talking at the same time, and stared blankly at the star of the river temple in the distance.
If most of their guesses are true, then after careful consideration, the national teacher they are following now should be the one from Li Chao, and the national teacher in Famen Temple bypassed Taichang Temple to let It was him who was looking everywhere.
"Yuebai, what should we do..." Taizhu said suddenly.
Yuebai screamed Taibu and was stunned for a long time.
When they were brought to Taichang Temple, they were all seven or eight years old, some were even younger, and most of them were children of poor families. Folks give cheap names to children, hoping that it will be easy to raise them by suppressing them. Except for cats and dogs, it is six or seven pounds, or the year of birth. In short, the mess can't be on the table.
So after they arrived at Taichang Temple, in order to distinguish them, each of them got a relatively elegant name, which was all taken from the color of Danqing. Taibu was called Yuebai at that time, and Taizhu was called Yuanqing.
It's just that this name hasn't been called for many years, and now she knows just this one, and Taizhu is really at a loss.
Taibu remembered the thin chin and his deep voice when he first saw the national teacher at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Follow, let's find out, we can't always act like this. I want to find out if I'm following the one I want to follow..."
Taizhu was silent for a moment, then nodded. He took a long sigh, glanced at the young rascals behind him, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Then let's follow, we are still somewhat capable, at least we won't be thrown too much by them— "
The word "far" hasn't been uttered, Taizhu's whole person is stunned.
I heard a clear whistle from the river temple in the distance, as clear and clear as the spring breeze and the bright moon. Before they could recover from this clear howl, a long shadow suddenly flew into the sky from the River Temple and went straight into the sky.
Then, a long wind suddenly rose, and the crescent moon was still there, but the clouds and thunder bursts. The long shadow stood above Jiuxiao, and after a few twists and turns, it disappeared.
That's-
"True dragon..." Taibu Taizhu, together with the hundreds of chameleons from Taichang Temple behind him, suddenly stood up and looked up from the top of the mountain, like a nest of frightened quails.
Seeing the real dragon flicking its tail alive, anyone would be speechless in shock.
I wish they were full of emptiness, stunned for a long time, and then subconsciously glanced at the River Temple, the lights that were on were completely turned off, and it can be seen that there is no one there anymore.
Everyone looked dumbfounded for a long time, and finally realized a problem.
Taizhu said in a soulful voice: "Did the country and the national teacher ascend to the sky by dragon..."
Taibu didn't expect this scene either, and he also said, "It should be..."
Taizhu: "..." Then how the **** do you chase him? ? ? ?
Like everyone in Taichang Temple, there are also the stone Zhang and Lu Twenqi, who are carrying the dragon's claws.
Stone Zhang did not only carve a few broken stones at Fang's house, but also did some practical work. He thought that the Fang's guys who went out to collect herbs all year round should be familiar with the surrounding mountains, so he took advantage of Xue Xian and Xuan Min's failure to return, and inquired about them.
He remembered what it looked like around the mountain he was taken blindfolded to, so he described it carefully to the guys, but fortunately, they really gave guesses.
It is said that there are two places in the mountains where he can see the river scene he saw, one is Yunxi Mountain and the other is Lianjiang Mountain.
These two mountains are located between Anqing Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, not too far from Qingping County where they are located... Of course, it is "not too far" in Xue Xian's mouth.
This ancestor thought that since the stone Zhang Shun could dig a keel there, maybe there are still some broken bones left there, and the left and right are also going to Langzhou, the direction is the same, not the two by the way. Set foot on the mountain and look for it.
Xue Xian has a temperament that is not as quick as his hand. After he made a decision immediately, without waiting for Shitou Zhang and Lu Tianqi to make some mental preparations, he directly took one in one hand and flew to the sky. This kind of heroic act, except Xuan Min can stand it, everyone else has to lose half their lives.
The group of four fell to the ground at Yunxi Mountain first.
As soon as Shizuo Zhang's feet touched the ground, the sky was spinning. He rolled on the ground and murmured and touched his robe. He said inarticulately: "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't pee my pants."
Xue Xian glanced at him with disgust, then glanced at the mountain.
Stone Zhang was paralyzed on the ground for a long time before he staggered to his feet. While trying to stabilize his body, he looked at Xuan Min, who was standing still with envy and envy, and said, "Ancestor, let's have a discussion. , next time, can I also put it on my back and don't stay on my paws? It's shaking too much, I want to vomit..."
Xue Xian glanced at him: "Anyone can ride a dragon's back?"
Xuan Min is plucking the branches and twisting the paper talisman, wanting to explore where there is an abnormal gathering of spiritual power. Hearing Xue Xian's words, he had a meal in his hand.
After Xue Xian finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with the words, and when he raised his eyes, Xuan Min glanced over again. Immediately, he turned his feet faster than his head, turned his back to Xuan Min, and rushed towards Shi Shi. Said: "Get out."
Stone Zhang: "..."
If the negotiation fails, I have to act obediently. He picked a few places, stood on the high rock and looked around, shook his head and said, "It's not this mountain, I have to change it—"
Before the word "local" was spoken, he and Lu Tianqi were once again stabbed by the ancestor Xue Xian.
He didn't even have time to put on a face that was unlovable, and he went to the sky again in the wind: Mother and ancestors - help -
This time it landed, and the momentum was even greater.
Because Xue Xian's feet just touched the ground of Lianjiang Mountain, the whole mountain shook twice, and the very familiar sense of echo came again.
