Chapter 412: Broken Young
Seeing the expression on Iwasaki Hideyoshi’s face, Hanzo didn’t care and just asked.
"Do you know the source of these books?"
These are all Chinese strange books recorded in ancient books, but they have been lost long ago, and even whether they are just fabricated myths and legends, There is no conclusion.
Although Iwasaki Hideyoshi had heard of it, he didn’t know the detailed source, and he suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment.
Hanzo Iwasaki didn't take it seriously either, and explained slowly in an old and vicissitudes of voice.
"In ancient China, Fu Xi relied on the "He Tu" to perform the Book of Changes, and Dayu ruled the Kyushu based on the "Luo Shu".
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya, the founding father of the country, obtained the strange book "Tai Gong" "Yin Fu", it is said that it records the method of military formation, which Jiang Ziya used to help Zhou Dynasty destroy Zhou
Later he was imprisoned for his merits. King Wu of Zhou granted the kingdom to Qi and became the earliest king of Qi. His "Tai Gong Yin Fu" became a secret treasure of the Qi royal family and was passed down by successive Qi kings.
In the Warring States Period, "Tai Gong Yin Fu" was discovered. It fell into the hands of a strange man named Wang Xu (xǔ). Because he lived in seclusion in Guigu, he called himself Mr. Guigu and created the Guiguzi lineage!
Legend has it that Guiguzi not only had the Six Taoist Strategies and Three Strategies, but was also good at vertical and horizontal skills. He was even proficient in divination and prophecy.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhang Liang was in exile in Xiapi. The Taoist god Huang Shigong tested Zhang Liang three times and taught him "Tai Gong's Art of War".
Then he assisted Liu Bang, strategized, won the victory thousands of miles away, and created the foundation of the Han Dynasty!
After Zhang Liang's death, "Tai Gong's Art of War" was lost. It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Taoist wizard Nan Hua Lao Xian awarded Zhang Jiao three volumes of "Tai Ping Yao Shu".
According to speculation, this horn may be a descendant of Zhang Liang.
With this book, in just over 10 years, the Taiping Dao led by Zhang Jiao had a million-strong Yellow Turban Army, triggering the Yellow Turban Rebellion and kicking off the Three Kingdoms era.
It can be said that this book "The Art of Peace"... is the source of the chaos of the Three Kingdoms!
After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao died, and the two volumes of "The Essential Art of Taiping" buried with him were said to have been obtained by Zhuge Kongming.
Therefore, Zhuge Kongming not only knew astronomy and geography, he was also proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and was proficient in Taoist techniques such as praying to gods for divination and "Red Cliff Borrowing the East Wind".
Before leaving Longzhong, he knew that the world was divided into three parts, and finally assisted the hero Liu Bei to create the foundation of Shu Han.
Hua Tuo, on the other hand, obtained the human scroll of "Taiping Yashu", created the "Qing Sang Sutra", and his medical skills can lead to the gods..."
Hearing this, Iwasaki Hideyoshi was stunned.
Even "Chronicles of Strange Books" Have you figured it all out?
And... fortune telling, military strategy, astronomy and geography, Qimen Dunjia, magical medicine...
Why does it sound more and more mysterious? >
Is this just a book called an omnipotent book?
“However, even if the book Grandpa You mentioned records various astronomy, geography, and military strategies, the knowledge will become outdated!
The strange book from thousands of years ago may be It was a treasure to the ancients at that time, but to us it was just a cultural relic that recorded outdated knowledge, right?”
“Outdated?” Hanzo Iwasaki smiled meaningfully. .
“Do you think the content recorded in it is just some knowledge?”
"Isn't it?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi was puzzled.
“Hua Tuo scraped Guan Yu’s bones to treat poison, and even wanted to open Cao Cao’s head to treat brain tumors.
As an ancient man more than 2,000 years ago, he knew surgery and disinfection techniques. , the first anesthetic drug , understanding the nervous and vascular systems...
Any of his medical attainments are more than 1,000 years earlier than Western medicine!
What kind of ancient people could write such knowledge?
< br>
Guiguzi was proficient in hundreds of schools of thought. Although he lived in seclusion all year round, he taught Su Qin, who was born in the six kingdoms, Lu Buwei, who was a "wonderful person," Sun Bin, who was a god in military warfare, and Shang Yang, who was a reformer.
There are also disciples such as Zhang Yi, Pang Juan, Li Si, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Xu Fu and so on.
These people are like Guiguzi’s chess pieces, influencing the entire Warring States Period.
It even has a profound impact on the entire history of China.
What kind of knowledge do you think can enable a person to influence the situation of the world without leaving home? ”
"This..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi was speechless.
"Is this all because of this book? Then what is recorded in this book?"
Iwasaki Hanzo looked at the other party, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he just whispered He spat out two words...
"Future!"
"What?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi was stunned.
"It's the future! If the great monk Jianzhen didn't lie, then this... is a book that can predict the future..."
"What?!"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi looked at his grandfather with dumbfounded eyes.
What is recorded in the book is... the future?
His expression became extremely strange.
It's like someone telling you, Hey! That octopus can predict the World Cup with perfect accuracy!
If it weren’t for the powerful head of the Iwasaki family in front of him, he felt that he would definitely invite doctors from two mental hospitals to come and check him out.
Is it because he is old and mentally disturbed?
Seeing Sun Tzu's expression, he knew that the other party must not believe it, but Hanzo just smiled.
"This is unbelievable. When I heard this from your great-grandfather, I was the same as you.
But the great monk Jianzhen believed it without any doubt!"
“Why?”
“Because in Luoyang, Xue Huaiyi once personally predicted the outcome of his life...
Blind, he traveled east six times, and died in a foreign land... ”
Iwasaki Hanzo said this with a complicated expression.
“Jianzhen only told his most trusted disciple Si Tuo about this before his death, and Si Tuo told his descendants, the ancestors of the Iwasaki family.
So, the secret of this strange book became the family’s biggest secret and has been passed down..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi’s mind was a little confused at this time.
Jianzhen is an eminent monk, so he should not make up such incredible lies about this matter to deceive his most trusted disciples.
But...how could such an incredible thing exist in the world?
He only felt that the information he had just received was strongly impacting his outlook on life.
However, he quickly realized a problem.
“But if there really is such a heaven-defying thing, wouldn’t the person who gets it be invincible?
But Zhang Jiao’s Yellow Turban Uprising clearly failed!”
"Well! As you said, it must have some kind of limitation!
Maybe it is that it cannot see the future that is too far away, or maybe it can only see some random futures.
So get it People may have extraordinary vision and insight, but they cannot do whatever they want.
Judging from some clues, this book seems to be different for everyone who gets it. , the information obtained from them is different.
If you want to control the world situation, it may present military strategies; if you want to save the people, it may present medical prescriptions.
However, manpower is sometimes poor. In that era of natural and man-made disasters, when people were like ants, personal power was ultimately limited.
The future is also changing at any time.
Being able to predict the future does not mean that you can rewrite the future according to your own ideas!
Moreover, this book...should have a huge side effect! ”
"Side effects?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi looked at Hanzo in confusion.
"Well! As the saying goes, if a secret is revealed, there must be divine punishment!
At least neither Zhang Jiao nor Zhuge Kongming died of death...
As for what the side effects are...the answer Maybe it's on top of the Buddha's head..."
Iwasaki Hanzo pointed to the authentic authentic seal on the table.
"Buddha's head... By the way, Grandpa, are you saying that this book later came into the hands of Xue Huaiyi?"
Iwasaki Hideyoshi then realized.
If this book really exists, what does it have to do with the Buddha head?
"Yes! After Xue Huaiyi got this book, he predicted that Wu Zetian would have the appearance of an emperor with his incredible fortune-telling skills!
Under his guidance, the empress escaped many After a fatal accident, he finally entered Ganye Temple and became a nun, where he met Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, who changed his destiny.
In the end, with extraordinary political wisdom and skill, an almost impossible miracle was created!
After ascending the throne, because Xue Huaiyi was fond of Buddhism, the empress promoted Buddhism and built Mingtang.
Because he was almost obedient, the world mistakenly thought that Xue Huaiyi was the face of the empress..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi was stunned, but after hearing this, he discovered another problem. .
“However, according to Chinese historical records, after Xue Huaiyi was favored, he became domineering and arrogant.
Because the burning of the Mingtang finally aroused Wu Zetian's resentment, and was she sentenced to death in the end?
If he could predict the future, how could he not know that the empress wanted to kill him? "
Iwasaki Hanzo shook his head.
"No, Xue Huaiyi was not killed by the empress, but burned himself to death! "
"What? ”
"In fact, the fire in Mingtang was caused by Xue Huaiyi setting fire and burning himself to death after going crazy!
As for the death penalty, it was just a way for the empress to cover up the truth."
"Crazy?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi was stunned.
"Not bad! This is the side effect I was talking about..." Iwasaki Hanzo sighed.
“According to Monk Jianzhen, although Xue Huaiyi became a monk halfway, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism.
However, the later he went on, the more moody he became.
Sometimes he recites Buddhist scriptures and is charitable like the Buddha, and sometimes he is angry and murders, like a devil.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is arrogant and domineering, arrogant and arrogant...
In the end, Xue Huaiyi could not control himself more and more.
So after driving his only disciple Jianzhen out of the Mingtang, he went crazy and burned the Mingtang to the ground with a fire, and he himself was also buried in the sea of fire.
Jianzhen only remembers that during the final fire, Xue Huaiyi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly while mumbling one sentence..."
"What words? "
Iwasaki Hanzo looked at the Buddha-headed face in the portrait that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was both righteous and evil, and said slowly...
...
"Two flowers bloomed. Face, life among Buddhas and demons...
Become a Buddha with one thought, become a devil with one thought..."
Meng Lang closed the book in his hand with a complicated expression.
He did not expect that Xue Huaiyi would be the owner of this book thousands of years ago. .
After knowing his ending, Meng Lang felt mixed.
On the one hand, he finally confirmed the existence of "senior" and could finally cross the river by feeling the stones. >
But on the other hand, this "stone" feels so prickly to the touch...
Reading too many books will change a person's mind. This is basic common sense.
But reading too many books can cause schizophrenia, which is definitely prohibitive!
He has only been studying for a few months, and the effect may not be obvious yet, but Xue Huaiyi can be seen at a glance as a person who has been "reading" all year round.
Obviously, by not closing this Pandora's box, Shengsheng became schizophrenic...
Buried in a sea of fire... I'm afraid the other party still had some sense left and chose to end his own life.
From this aspect, he still has deep respect for this "senior" whom he has never met before.
Otherwise, once the person who has an autobiography loses control of his thoughts and becomes obsessed with it, the country will be ruined, the family will be destroyed, and the blood will flow.
Maybe there will be another Yellow Turban Rebellion...
"Alas! The worst has happened..."
Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh.
The previous guess has finally been verified by cruel reality...
Now he finally understands why the previous brothers always avoided talking about this Buddha head.
It's not that they missed it, or that they forgot, but they discovered that the truth extremely affects internal unity...
[Life is so busy, short stories are long, but there is no prosperity or failure. Countless, gains and losses are hard to measure.
For me, living long is victory, but for you, that may not be the case...]
[Actually, living too long may not be a good thing for me...]
The brothers in the previous episodes were actually hinting at themselves crazily, keywords: "Live long!"
Until this moment, Meng Lang realized how complicated the parties involved must be. The emotion that spoke these words.
Xue Huaiyi’s experience directly illustrates that “brothers” are one’s “burden”.
And the "longevity brother" is his "heavy burden"!
The longer a brother lives, the greater the influence he will have on Meng Lang’s spirit and even his personality.
Although it is unreasonable to think this way, various natural and man-made disasters have prevented Meng Lang from surviving to the end of his life every time.
Maybe it’s a good thing for him?
Then his best choice is to either resist the temptation, stop reading and let fate dictate, or... persuade his brothers to die early and be born early...
But the problem is, schizophrenia is death, and the destruction of mankind is also death...
He seems to have only the second way to go.
But this idea...can those brothers who are charging into battle agree?
Oh! I've worked hard all my life to get into this, and then you want me to get my lunch early instead of my pension?
Who would be happy to leave it alone?
Meng Lang believed that his spiritual state was not to the point where he would immediately prepare for his funeral as soon as he found out that he had no "book"...
As the same saying goes, zero-sum games test internal unity the most. Resource allocation is most likely to provoke internal conflicts.
If this is not handled well, internal unity will completely collapse.
At that time, countless brothers who want to "scream" will rise up collectively.
You do whatever it takes, I kill people like crazy. Once a few dark personalities return, they conflict with the upright and kind-hearted Meng Xiaolang Benlang...
It's not schizophrenia, I'm afraid it will become schizophrenia!
Originally, everyone might be able to stay harmonious for another three to five years, but if this is all done to you...
Then I will really have no choice but to "live young and old" "Cracked"... (End of this chapter)
