Chapter 288 Sleepless Night in Kyoto
Zuo Chen actually doesn’t have any hobbies in tormenting people. He doesn’t like screaming or blood. Whenever he sees similar bloody movies, he will frown and leave, so everyone Sometimes the attack is clean and neat, allowing the opponent to turn around and walk away without doing anything else.
However,
his soul-torture skills are really poor.
If you want to dig out all the secrets in the other party's memory, you will naturally have to use the method of soul torture, but Zuo Chen's whole body is too strong. When pinching the three souls and seven souls, he accidentally It will tear off a small piece of the opponent's soul.
It's just not easy to pinch it back.
But the bricks will fly if you are too strong, as long as it can be used.
The half-stick of incense that was tossed around completely consumed the remaining three souls and seven souls of Qin Wuming, and Zuo Chen was able to identify the part of it that he needed.
He found the memory of Qin Wuming's betrayal:
From the memory, Zuo Chen could recognize that Qin Wuming was not actually a disciple of a noble family, but a commoner.
When he was young, he had good grades and was eloquent. He was a very good boy. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he encountered heavy rain, so he hid in the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain. As a result, he encountered a tiger on the way and was almost eaten. He fell, and an old Taoist priest passing by saved him.
After arriving in Kyoto, I discovered that this old Taoist priest was the current capital.
When the library was founded in the capital, he also volunteered and directly joined it, becoming the first generation disciple of the capital.
However, the capital at that time had not yet been able to deal with all kinds of things in the world. His knowledge was good, but in terms of life, he could only repeat what he had learned on Gray Mountain, but he still failed. Being able to comprehend it all, I also heard the doubts in the minds of the following students.
With no one to guide you, it is easy to go astray.
Taking advantage of this juncture, the Kyoto nobles took advantage of the situation and selected a few apprentices under the capital. They used debauchery, gold and silver to dazzle them and let them join their camp.
At that time, the gentry bewitched a total of seven people, four of them chose to refuse, three were fascinated, and two of the three died because of the confrontation between the library and the return home. .
The only one left was Qin Wuming, who secretly went to the nobles before the war started and told them what the capital had done and why.
After the death of the capital master, the person in charge of the library was not even Qin Wuming, but an eldest son of the gentry.
However, not long after the eldest son took over, the returnees rushed back to Kyoto. The two sides fought again, and the eldest son was beaten to death in the end.
There was really no other way, so Qin Wuming was pushed forward.
Qin Wuming also knew that his position was unjust, so he simply relied on the gentry and built the library into a "gentry" library step by step.
Beyond this, there are other interesting things in Qin Wuming’s memory:
The seven cities of Kyoto are intricately complex, with many family influences entangled, like sprawling ancient trees with deep roots.
No one in these families is convinced, but only one "noble man" is respected.
Qin Wuming didn't have much contact with this noble man. The few times he met him everywhere, he only looked at him from a distance.
And this noble man,
was sitting in a sedan chair supported by four maids.
After sorting out Qin Wuming’s memories, Zuo Chen couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
At that time, the capital master had been practicing with him in the mountains for sixty years. He had learned a lot about Taoism, but he had not explored much about human nature.
Looking around the empty hall, Zuo Chen seemed to be able to see the old Taoist priest sitting on the main seat. The hall below was filled with futons. Children, young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly were all sitting on futons. Listen to him preach.
The Taoist who planted the peach and plum tree looked at the treetops with great expectation, hoping that it would bear big fruits and fill the world.
But he didn’t want someone to poison him in the bush.
It really is...
Everyone in the world is blinded by the desire for profit, which harms those who are dedicated to helping the world.
Yan Wangsheng moved closer to Zuo Chen and felt happy when he saw these "old friends" disappearing.
He left his hometown and stayed in this library for so long just for this moment.
At this moment, 90% of the dirt in the library has finally been removed, and the place has returned to its proper place.
"Grandmaster, what are your plans next?"
Yan Wangsheng walked to Zuo Chen and asked respectfully.
"The owner of the library is dead, but the library should continue to operate." Zuo Chen said: "My apprentice opened the library mainly to allow literati from all over the world to jointly study techniques and benefit the people. If the library is cleaned up, it will not be the same." Because there is too much garbage and the library is closed, the gain outweighs the loss.
"Yan Wangsheng, take over the library first and carefully screen the students and teachers in the library. If you don't meet your ideals, just let them go." Please take a leave of absence and go home to rest. Those who are willing to stay in this new library can still stay and study. "
"Understood. Yan Wangsheng nodded, paused for a few seconds, and then asked: "Taoist Master, the Kyoto nobles know what you did today, and I'm afraid they won't be too quiet. Do you have any plans?" "
"Plan? "When Zuo Chen heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "I don't plan to do anything. In the next few days, I plan to walk around Kyoto and take a good look at the customs and customs of Kyoto. "
"Huh? ”
The Taoist priest has just cleaned out so many old people in the library, and he plans to go for a walk?
Yan Wangsheng was stunned for two seconds, and his expression suddenly became a little subtle.
With today's group, Zuo Chen's killing of the top brass of the library will surely spread throughout Kyoto.
Such a walking killer walking around in Kyoto...
I am afraid no one can sleep well these nights.
Moreover, according to Yan Wangsheng's understanding of the nobles, how could they sit still under the current situation?
Today’s Kyoto is like a big pot of boiling water, and these nobles are like shrimps thrown into it.
When the boiling water is boiling, the shrimps will definitely jump back and forth, and eventually they will be cooked into a whole pot of seafood soup.
And Zuo Chen, who was walking around,
was the most intense firewood!
"I don't have any other ideas. I just want to go shopping. Later, write down on a list where the nobles like to go and where they are willing to gather. They are elegant and the places they are willing to go must be beautiful. I'm sure I want to go take a look.”
Listening to Zuo Chen’s smile, Yan Wangsheng thought that if the Taoist priest went for a walk in those places, he would probably scare a few people with weak hearts to death. "Open the door." Zuo Chen said, "The matter has been resolved. It's time for the students in the library to see the real owner."
Yan Wangsheng and Guan Jinping walked to the door of the main hall, and they stretched out their hands , pressed on the door.
Push the door open with force, letting the sunlight enter the house.
The entire main hall is clean.
Like there was never any dirt.
There were a few bold library members standing outside the door. There was a young man who seemed to be the spy of a certain library gentleman. Seeing the door being pushed open, he subconsciously looked inside. .
There was no one else in the main hall except Zuo Chen and everyone else. As if he had thought of something, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Looking at Yan Wangsheng again, his eyes were full of horror:
"Mr. Yan... Mr. Yan, where are the other nobles?"
Yan Wangsheng looked at the young man, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Speechless.
Cold sweat soaked the young man's back.
On this day in Kyoto,
I’m afraid things are going to change.
...
What happened in the library was quickly suppressed.
The ordinary people in Kyoto, the ordinary students and gentlemen in the library, and even some lower-ranking officials don't know anything. They just feel that the wind in Kyoto today is a bit loud and makes people feel a little cold.
As for those people with status in Kyoto, I am afraid they will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
There is one master of the library, three lay people, and a total of forty nobles.
Among them, Ulu layman disappeared after going to Qingzhou and was suspected of losing his life. This resulted in only two laymen who went to see the Taoist priest.
Then,
just one day.
Eleven noble people are missing from the library,
The layman Changsun is missing, and layman Zhuge is unconscious.
The owner of the library is missing
.
It was said that he was missing, but in fact, the senior officials in Kyoto knew exactly what happened.
Taoist priest,
start killing people!
This incident was like a bolt from the blue, striking the hearts of all the nobles.
The Seven Cities of Kyoto, Fanyang to the south, in a towering pavilion, in an elegant manor.
After listening to the report of her subordinates, the woman with high hair and heavy makeup slowly closed her eyes.
Sitting next to the woman, there is also a young man about thirty years old. He has a feminine face and is somewhat similar to the woman. There is a bit of misfortune in his eyebrows, as if The kind who suddenly covers his mouth and coughs violently.
“Step back.”
After hearing the woman's words, the maid was relieved and quickly left the room. Only the woman and the slightly unlucky young man were left in her eyes.
The woman looked sideways at the young man:
"Son, what do you think about this?"
"Unfortunately." The young man sighed: "First of all, my stupid The younger brother is missing, and another Taoist leader came to kill him in the library. It can be said that there is a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. The Lu family is in a state of crisis. "
The woman was silent.
My eldest son always looks depressed, and his words are always full of devastation, which makes people feel heartbroken.
But there is nothing wrong with what he said today.
Not only the Lu family, but all the families in Kyoto are in turmoil, on the edge of the cliff, not knowing where to go?
After pondering for a moment, the woman said: "Tomorrow you will gather other families and discuss how to deal with the Taoist Master in the Changxian Hermitage. This matter is of great importance. Let's see if we can invite noble people."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." The eldest young master of the Lu family sighed sadly.
...
Early the next morning, Zuo Chen woke up from bed, stretched out and felt comfortable all over.
I got back my apprentice’s dojo yesterday and cleaned up a lot of bugs, which made me feel really happy.
Put on your coat, walk to the table, and pick up the map Yan Wangsheng made yesterday.
Nothing to do today,
Let’s go to this place called Changxian.
Asking for monthly tickets
