Chapter 335 People's hearts are on fire
The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the mountains and forests.
Ezhou has fertile soil and abundant rainfall, and there are often old trees that can grow to tens of meters high, forming large mountain forests.
The same is true around Liangzi Lake.
The undulating hills are surrounded by dense forests. As long as no one lives there, plants will grow wildly. Many abandoned Kiln Sites are covered with green within a few years. Only by entering them can you find any clues.
In the mountain forest, two groups of tomb robbers are moving forward.
The woods are dense, and there are not only shrubs and thorns on the ground, but also vines entwining between the big trees. Therefore, it is very difficult to walk with Kai Shan Blade constantly.
Wang Lao Bie saw this and said impatiently, "It's too slow. Just wait here while I go up the mountain to check the feng shui."
After that, he took off the flying hook from his waist, flicked it, and threw it high into the sky, hanging on the tree trunk.
Anyone who can make a living in this field and become famous certainly has no mediocre skills.
This Wang Lao Bie has stepped into Hidden Strength. Although he is fat, his arms are still as strong as an old bear, pulling the rope quickly and climbing up the tree trunk.
Then, Hidden Strength exploded and jumped directly to another big tree.
"Humph, I'll follow you to prevent him from causing trouble!"
Third Master Chen also snorted and followed closely behind.
But unlike Wang Lao Bie, he just put on a pair of special spiked gloves and climbed and jumped among the big trees like a gecko.
Soon, the two of them disappeared.
Naturally, their subordinates had already received the order, and they glared at each other with clear distinction, and their eyes were full of defense.
Of course, those who are really on guard are the few people sent by the Bai family.
On the other end, Wang Lao Bie and Third Master Chen soon climbed to the top of the mountain and stood on the trunk of a big tree.
"Brother Wang, what do you think?"
Third Master Chen finally asked.
Wang Lao Bie sneered and said, "That man named Bai has no good intentions. I looked at him carefully when he entered the village."
"The ground is dry and uneven in some places. The compass shows 'Evasive Needle'. There are secret passages underneath the village!"
"People in other villages are very wary of outsiders, but people in this village don't pay attention to us when they see us."
"The whole village probably belongs to them!"
"This village named Bai is probably a hidden bandit. He usually pretends to be a salesman and goes around the area. When he encounters fat sheep, he pretends to be a bandit and robs them."
Third Master Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen a few villages like this. They are more evil-minded than us. I will probably fall out with them when the time comes."
Wang Lao Bie sneered and said, "They have a good idea, Third Master Chen, I heard that you were the first to use gunpowder to open the tomb in Yuzhou, I guess you must have something hidden in your hands."
Third Master Chen was noncommittal, "I know that although Mr. Wang is famous as Divide Gold and Determine Location, his skill in using poison is not bad at all. When the time comes, we must not really fight among ourselves and let others take advantage."
"Third Master Chen said this."
Wang Lao Bie shook his head quickly and said with a smile, "We are all our own people, so we should follow the rules of the road. There are many fire holes on Mang Mountain. When the time comes, I will give Third Master Chen a shot, okay?"
"Okay!"
Third Master Chen nodded in agreement without hesitation.
There are naturally rules among tomb robbers, first come first served, but what makes the two parties truly join forces is common interests.
After making an agreement, the two of them spoke more directly.
"The man surnamed Bai must have some reservations, Third Master Chen, let's not take action now, we will fall out after we find something."
"What Brother Wang said makes sense, take a look at the feng shui of this place."
Wang Lao Bie nodded, took out the compass from his arms, climbed up and looked around, frowned for a long time, and then said, "This Liangzi Lake's Feng Shui, of course, goes without saying."
"The middle is as flat as a mirror and is surrounded by mountains. It is an excellent place to store wind and collect energy. It can be called a treasure basin."
"I have inquired before I came here. The Liangzi Lake bank has many twists and turns and is named 'Ninety-Nine Tributaries'. The terrain is complex and it is easiest to hide things."
"I didn't have a clue at first, but according to the location marked by the surname Bai, I also found something strange. The Liangzi Lake and 'Ninety-Nine Tributaries' are scattered around, forming a natural Nine Palaces Formation."
"The formation eye is in the center of the lake. It is rumored that that is where the ancient county seat sank, and the locations marked out in the north are all at Sun Position..."
"According to Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique, it is located in the Northwest Qian Palace, where the door opens. The five elements belong to gold, and there must be mineral veins underground."
"Third Master Chen's men should all have compasses. You can ask your disciples to search the surrounding mountains. If 'Spinning Needle' and 'Evasive Needle' appear at the same time, send a signal immediately."
"Okay! Brother Wang is really good at what he does!"
After making a plan, the two asked their disciples to disperse and search along the nearby hills and dense forests, not missing any place...
Their actions were all seen by Li Yan and Lu San.
But what they are more concerned about is the unusual activities in Bai He Wan village.
The people in the village, regardless of men, women, old or young, have all gone out and gathered outside the village ancestral hall.
Several Red Turban big men with Baotou and shirtless bodies carried out two shrines from the cellar of the village ancestral hall.
One is a bald Buddha statue, kind and kind, smiling, with a big belly, bare chest, and holding a string of rosary beads in his hand...
The other one is wearing armor, a shawl on his shoulders, a crown on his head, holding Treasure Sword, and stepping on auspicious clouds, looking rich and handsome...
The people in the village all held Three Incense Sticks, knelt on the ground, and knelt down before the two statues of gods.
And Bai Weng Hai also changed his attire at this time, wearing a white robe and a golden scarf on his head.
With a solemn expression, he kowtowed to the two statues and shouted at the same time, "Hearing this, the Buddha of the moment is in the Shravasti tree alone garden, together with Great Bhikshu Assembly five hundred people..."
After reciting a verse, he turned around and said, "Maitreya becomes Buddha, is born to save the world, and performs Longhua Three Assemblies to save all sentient beings. At that time, there will be no more suffering in the world."
"At that time, all living beings were equal, there was no dog emperor in the world, and there were no corrupt officials oppressing us, and the world was bliss."
"But the evil spirits in the sky don't want to see this prosperous world. They will confuse people's hearts and deceive all living beings..."
"Just like this Great Xuan Dynasty, they were afraid, they were afraid, so they destroyed King Ming's physical body and prevented Maitreya from being born."
"Red Sun Great Tribulation has arrived, and bliss will finally come!"
"At that time, there will be no more suffering in the world..."
"Maitreya is born, King Ming comes to the world!"
"Maitreya is born, King Ming comes to the world!"
Listening to these words, the people below became more and more enthusiastic. Some people kowtowed and some prayed to the sky. The scene was chaotic.
In the sky, the birds were also frightened and fled.
Listening to the chirping of birds, Lu San spoke from time to time and informed Li Yan of the situation there.
This is his Divine Ability convenience.
Li Yan's cud spirit can be regarded as an excellent detection method, but at this time, a sacrifice is being held in the village, with incense and incense lingering, and there is Xuan Gate People, so it is inevitable that he will be discovered.
Lu San listens to the sounds of birds and animals for detection.
No one will care about these ordinary birds and beasts. They don't have Gangsha Energy on them, and they won't be discovered by any magic circle.
"It turns out to be Maitreya Sect..."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, not surprised.
This Maitreya Sect is different from the ghost religion.
Ghost sects rely on desires to corrupt people's hearts, drag people into trouble, and kill people as sacrifices to ghosts. Their methods are cruel and will eventually be destroyed.
And Maitreya Sect exists through the dissatisfaction of people's hearts.
This sect is rooted in ordinary people and will exist as long as there is suffering in the world. When times are difficult, it will rise up due to the wind and turn into a raging fire that spreads everywhere.
A few dozen miles further north is Dragon Spring Mountain, with the tomb of Chen Youliang above it, who was originally the master of the Maitreya Sect, known as the Ming King.
The people in this village may be the descendants of the original remnants.
Moreover, Maitreya Sect is divided into many factions, and they all compete for orthodoxy. Not all Maitreya Sect disciples would participate in the great chaos of Guanzhong.
Thinking of this, Li Yan said, "Inform Daoist Wang about this and let them be careful."
Lu San nodded, and immediately pinched Mystical Gestures to chant the spell.
In the Shen family mansion, the falcon immediately sensed the situation and fluttered its wings under Sha LiFei's doubtful eyes.
"Did something happen?"
Sha LiFei felt inexplicably uneasy.
The falcon was so fast that in less than half the time it took to burn the incense, it had returned with a secret message and a package.
Inside were the secret message and Thangka found from Fan Monk.
After Sha LiFei saw it, his pupils shrank immediately, and he quickly ran to Wang Dao Xuan who was busy and whispered, "Daoist Master, follow me."
After that, he took Wang Dao Xuan to a secluded corner and handed him the secret message in his hand.
"Maitreya Sect?"
Wang Dao Xuan After looking at it, I suddenly felt a headache, "Why do I meet these guys here?"
As he spoke, he sighed, "It stands to reason that this matter should be reported to the Enforcement Hall, but there are people in the whole village, both old and young, and many of them have been deceived. According to the rules of the imperial court, I'm afraid not one of them will survive..."
He has seen this kind of thing too many times.
At that time, Guanzhong Maitreya Sect rebelled, and many people in the villages converted to Christianity. The imperial court massacred them indiscriminately, creating countless ghost villages.
Their reporting cost countless lives.
Wang Dao Xuan will naturally hesitate.
Seeing this, Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "Daoist Master thinks too much. Maitreya Sect is hiding here, and he may have secretly developed many followers."
"It's not like you don't know their temperament. There is a war raging in the southwest right now. If they take advantage of the chaos, more people will die."
"The Daoist priest is kind-hearted, please don't worry about this matter. Old Sha I will set off immediately to send a message to Wu Prefecture City. I will be back tomorrow."
"Daoist Master, protect yourself and don't say too much, lest there are spies from the other side in the house and alert the enemy."
"Well, I know, so be careful on the road."
After some explanation, Sha LiFei immediately packed his bags and left Shen's house without saying hello to anyone.
"Daoist Wang."
Before Wang Dao Xuan could take a breath, the old housekeeper of the Shen Mansion came over to discuss with him what he would need for burial.
In the main hall on the other side, Shen Jinghong is entertaining guests.
Master Shen left behind a lot of connections when he was still alive. Some people heard the news and either sent their nephews to express their condolences or came to visit him in person.
Although they all come and go, it also represents their attitude.
With the support of these people, Shen Jinghong finally felt relieved.
At this moment, a servant hurriedly came over and whispered in his ear, "Second young master, the people in the second and third houses have left. They took away all the horses and took some banknotes and land deeds. They said that we will never have contact with each other until we die."
"Hmm."
Shen Jinghong sighed and ignored it.
Of course he knew what those people wanted to do. Last night he made a fuss, took away the map manuscript left by his father, and even signed the family separation deed.
This thing was the bait he released at that time.
I thought I would finish my work and then use bait to force these people away, but I never thought these people were so impatient.
He didn't care about the treasure at all.
He saw what happened to Wu Prefecture City.
Not to mention whether it can be found, even if it gets Black Cloud Longsword Secret Method again, the Shen family will not be able to withstand this storm.
The right way is to stabilize the situation at home as soon as possible, reopen Kiln Site, and follow the Chamber of Commerce to sell porcelain overseas!
Thinking of this, Shen Jinghong was too lazy to pay attention to that group of people.
On the mountain road near Shenjiaba, a large group of people were riding horses.
It was the man from Shen Family Second Branch who lived in the third house. Because there were not enough boats, he rode his horse to make a detour from Official Road.
"You're just messing around!"
The short and fat Shen family Third Master Chen's eyes were full of anger, and he cursed at Shen Jingcan, "You eat things inside and outside, and you dare to talk nonsense to others about such an important thing."
Shen Jingcan just came back and told the story again.
Even though he talks like a lotus flower, the Shen family Third Master Chen is still very angry. If not, why would he leave in a hurry.
Shen Jingcan quickly defended. "Third uncle, please don't be angry. He is my master. He is proficient in Feng Shui and also knows some magic skills."
"The picture the uncle gave me is not Spiritual Light at all. If the treasure is easy to find, will it be our turn?"
"My master is different, he already has clues. Besides, there are only two old men, and there are so many of us, are we still afraid that he will cause trouble?"
"Jing Can is right."
The second son of the Shen family said coldly, "No matter how good the treasure is, it must be found. That little bastard in Jinghong will definitely be waiting to see our jokes. When we get the treasure, we must show it to him!"
Although he is equally annoyed, at this time, he must stand by his son, otherwise the third child will make trouble.
As for the danger...
There are more than twenty people in their group, all of them are proficient in fists and kicks, and possess sharp weapons. They can fight against bandits, and they are not afraid of two old men.
"Okay!"
The third son of the Shen family also held back his breath and cursed at Shen Jingcan, "Don't make random opinions in the future. Listen to me. If you get the treasure, send some to the county government, and put your master on death row with the reputation of being a witch who harms people."
"If you are not cruel, you will be in trouble sooner or later."
Shen Jingcan nodded quickly, "Uncle San is right."
He was respectful on his face, but cursed secretly in his heart.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have told this group of people that before they even found the things, they were just thinking about how to divide the money and kill people to silence them.
With these stupid relatives, you will be in bad luck sooner or later...
Rumble!
There was the sound of horse hooves, and everyone tried hard to urge the horses to move.
Rumble!
This time the roar came from the sky.
But at some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind howled, making the surrounding woods rustle.
Summer has entered, and the sky is becoming more and more unpredictable.
"Found it!"
On the shore, Third Master Chen's men shouted.
The signal was sent out, and people around him gathered one after another.
"Get out of the way, let me take a look!"
Wang Lao Bie came quickly carrying the compass.
The location they were on was a small hill by the lake. It looked inconspicuous, but when they stood on it and looked at the compass, the needle not only rotated crazily, but also kept sinking.
"Shovel down!"
Wang Lao Bie's eyes were filled with joy and he quickly ordered.
Several disciples quickly stepped forward, picked up Luoyang Shovel, and inserted it into the ground, but soon, Luoyang Shovel stopped moving.
"Master, there is something below!"
"Pull it out!"
Pull out Luoyang Shovel, Wang Lao Bie, first look at the soil on top, then pick up a little from the front and put it into your mouth.
After tasting it twice, he spit it out and said with a gloomy face, "It's an iron vein. The rock is too hard. Find another place."
However, even after changing several places in a row, it was still the same.
"It's Iron Dome!"
Third Master Chen suddenly understood, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "I never thought that I could actually see such a method in this life..."
