The beautiful woman suddenly turned into a nine-tailed fox and bit him. Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Meng Du was so fierce that he slashed the nine-tailed fox with a knife in his dream. Then he stepped on it and was about to chop it off. Her head. The vixen suddenly began to beg for mercy, saying that his body had been killed by him, and if his soul was killed by him again, he would never be reincarnated. If he let him go, he would be given two treasures that would make him a supreme minister. .
Even though Meng Xing was the Cavalry Commander at the time, he was under the direct management of Cao Pi and his identity was always kept secret. He regarded himself as having great achievements and had long been dissatisfied, so this condition was very attractive to him, so he agreed.
The vixen taught him how to use his eyes. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Meng Xing felt that this matter should only be known to God and should not be spread to the world, so he killed the vixen with a single blow.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but lick my tongue. This Meng Xing was too cruel. Fatty Yu ran over at this time and asked: "That treasure must be the Eye of the Jade Rabbit, what is the other one? Could it be this Heavenly Meteor Jade Armor?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Look down yourself!" I rolled my eyes at him, "After Meng Xing woke up, he tried the method in his dream and it turned out to be quite successful. He felt that this matter could not be known to others, so he decided to The entourage he brought with him, as well as their families, were slaughtered one by one, even the children who were just one month old were not spared."
Fatty Yu raised doubts and said: "How could he kill so many people by himself? He must have used that treasure. I'm really worried. Can you look at what's written below?"
Lao Ji scolded: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go and pack your Skyfall Jade Armor!"
"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't interrupt, please read faster!"
I ignored him and continued reading.
In the following decades, with the help of those two treasures, he was invincible, whether in war or in government, and he was famous for a while. However, in his later years, due to many years of exposure to corpse energy, he developed many stubborn diseases in his body, which was very inconvenient. As a result, Cao Pi thought that he was too old, so he removed his military power and asked him to only fight in reverse and not to deal with military affairs. This actually demoted him.
As his health deteriorated day by day, he began to fear death. One day, he dreamed of the vixen he had known for decades. The vixen told him that his death day had come, and we are all waiting for you in the underworld. When he saw it, almost all of them were the people he had killed indiscriminately before! After he woke up, he remembered what he had dreamed and was very frightened, so he went to ask his military advisor for advice.
His military advisor was a Guizhou Taoist priest who was punished by Guizhou for violating the law. He had sought Taoism in the Kunlun Mountains in his early years and was proficient in numerology and Feng Shui. He thought for a moment and told Meng Xing that in ancient times, jade meteorites falling from the sky in the vast sea in Mobei had the effect of bringing the dead back to life. After that, the jade meteorite was acquired by the ancestors of the Huns and made into the heavenly meteorite jade armor. It is said that wearing it can make people rejuvenate and become immortal.
This Guizhou Taoist priest said, "The jade fell to Chunwei, the dead wood was reborn, and the Chanyu was overjoyed to make the jade armor." According to Sima Qian's records, this Chunwei should be the ancient Huns. After they migrated from the Huaxia tribe in the Central Plains to the north, they merged with other ethnic groups and became the first generation of the Huns. But it is a pity that later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Huo Qubing won a great victory along the way and sealed the wolf in Xu Mountain. The Tianyun Jade Armor, regarded as the most precious treasure by the Xiongnu, was in Langjuxu Mountain at that time. After this battle, the Tianyun Jade Armor "went around several times and eventually became extinct."
Meng Xing was at the end of his rope at that time, and the words of the Guizhou Taoist priest, whether true or not, gave him a glimmer of hope. So he stayed up all night studying ancient books, and finally he discovered a large tomb in a simple book that might contain a fallen jade armor.
Then, he used the elite of Faqiumen to spend half a year excavating the mountain and found a huge tomb of the Warring King in the area he estimated. It was built out of a mountain, using natural caves. The tomb passage inside uses the principles of Zhouyi Bagua. It is extremely complicated. If Meng Xing hadn't been proficient in Qimen Shield Armor, there would be no way to walk in. The most peculiar thing is that in the cave that is the main tomb, there is a vine that he calls the Iron-eating Tai Sui, and an almost skinny young man corpse, wearing a black gold-lined jade garment, sitting there meditating On the jade bed under the vines.
After looking at it, the Guizhou Taoist priest said categorically that this was the Tianyun Jade Armor. The corpse of this young man seemed dead but not dead. Every once in a while, the dead skin on his body would fall off and new skin would sprout from the inside. He estimated that this A young man must die a decayed old man.
This Guizhou-faced Taoist priest was so extraordinary that he actually knew how to restrain the bloody corpse. He used a special method to take out the male corpse from the human figurine and sealed it in the sarcophagus in the auxiliary tomb. Meng Xing followed all the plans set by the Taoist priests in Guizhou. He took the fake death medicine and faked his death in front of Cao Pi. Cao Pi believed it to be true and stopped paying attention to him. Later, the Faqiu clan used the excuse of digging a tomb to secretly destroy the tomb of King Zhan and built a tomb on the original site.
However, before Meng Xing entered the Jade Palace, he was not completely at ease with the Taoist priests in Guizhou. He was not only afraid that he would not be able to return to life, but also worried that others would obtain the official seal of Qiu Tianguan after his death. So, he sealed the Faqiu Tianguan Seal in a box made of pure gold, and installed the Qiqiao exquisite lock on the broken dragon stone of the ancient tomb, leaving seven Canglong Qisu keys for future generations, which was said to be two hundred years old. If the Tianguan Seal does not reappear in the future, they can open the ancient tomb and take away the Faqiu Seal.
Before he put himself in the coffin, he killed everyone involved in the project, pushed them into the river, and then poisoned all his followers, leaving only one concubine to bury him. The concubine also took poison and died after finishing everything. I guess the female corpse on the jade bed outside is Meng Xing's concubine.
Regarding the legendary story told by Meng Xing, I think it is highly likely to be credible, because some of the details mentioned in it are consistent with what we have now, such as the Qiqiao exquisite lock, the female corpse, etc. But after reading it, I couldn't help but have a question, "If Meng Xing is so cruel and ruthless, how could he leave the Taoist priest Qianmian behind? Why is there no record of his ending in this book?"
Lao Ji shook his head and said: "I guess this Guizhou Taoist priest is not a serious person. He should have expected that Meng Xing would kill people and silence him, so he ran away early. Maybe the one who ended up lying in the Tianyun Jade Armor , it’s not Meng Xing, but himself.”
As soon as this sentence came out, an idea flashed in my mind, "Did the two people switch contracts at the last minute?"
Lao Ji nodded and said: "Although there are not many records about Meng Xing in history, we in the world of fighting still know a little about him. Faqiu Sect was once the most powerful sect among the five sects, and Mojin School The captains were not enough for them to see, but as a result, they declined rapidly at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and they are nowhere to be found so far. The source of their decline is from the hands of Meng Xing. It can be seen that what is recorded in this silk book is basically true. But think about it, Meng Xing, as the Heavenly Official of Faqiu, has the entire Faqiu Sect in his hands, how can he not be at all wary of the Qianmian Taoist priests?"
I frowned and said, "It's not Lao Ji. One moment you said that the Taoist priest from Guizhou occupied the magpie's nest, and the next moment you said that Meng Xing had been on guard for a long time. What are you trying to say?"
Lao Ji suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Yunshu and found that she was also staring at us. Then he seemed to suddenly realize it and said with a smile: "It should be said that the Taoist priest from Guizhou really intends to occupy the magpie's nest. This person is deliberately planning. He just wanted to use Meng Xing's power to achieve his goal of immortality. But in the end..."
At this time, Yan Yunshu suddenly took over the conversation, "In the end, he still fell short because Meng Xing had actually suspected him for a long time and held back a hand, which made it impossible for him to get his wish when he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest."
"How do you know this?" I asked.
Yan Yunshu shook her head and said: "A few years ago, a group of local masters found a complete set of Eastern Han Dynasty letters in a Tang tomb. This thing was actually the autobiography of the Qianmian Taoist priest who taught Meng Xing. After making the plan, he set fire to his own family, threw the body of a beggar into the fire, and pretended to be himself, thus escaping death. Although Meng Xing knew there was something fishy, he had no choice. In the end, After Meng Xing was buried, he led people to sneak into the tomb again, trying to drag him out of the Heavenly Meteor Jade Armor and let him lie in it. But he never expected that Meng Xing installed the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock on the Broken Dragon Stone. , and the key to cracking the mechanism was kept by different elders of the Faqiu Sect, and he had no chance to get it. And because of his eagerness to seize the treasure, he fell into the trap of the ghost-eyed grass people, which eventually led to the annihilation of his entire army and reduced him to an iron-eater. Tai Sui's prey. And he himself was seriously poisoned, so he barely escaped death, but died soon after."
I asked further: "Since the Guizhou Taoist priest did not die in the tomb, didn't he leave any last words after he came out? Since the Tianyu Jade Armor can be brought back to life, if it were me, I would definitely leave some last words for future generations to continue. Searching, and he participated in the construction of the ancient tomb from beginning to end, even if he is dying, it is still okay to leave some clues, right?"
"He didn't write this in his book, maybe because he had no descendants, so no one came to disturb this place after his death." Yan Yunshu's eyes were a little uncomfortable, "These are only mentioned briefly in the autobiography. There can be no detailed records.”
I looked at Yan Yunshu, and for some reason, I suddenly felt that her words were a bit false. I looked at Lao Ji, and sure enough, he didn't believe it either. But since people don’t want to tell them and have already made up lies, there’s no point in trying to expose them anymore.
I looked at Lin Xiaoyu standing behind her again, and saw that she kept her head lowered and her face looked very bad. It seemed that she had not spoken since she came in. I walked over and asked, "Ms. Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiaoyu slowly raised her head, with an indescribable loneliness in her eyes. The corners of her eyes were shining brightly. She looked at the body lying in the coffin and shook her head in pain, "It's okay..."
I also turned to look at the coffin, and suddenly, the previous suspicion flashed through my mind. My heart skipped a beat, and I thought, no way, is Lin Xiaoyu really a descendant of Meng Xing? However, if Lin Xiaoyu is Meng Xing's descendant, then why is the Canglong Qisu Key in Yan Yunshu's hands?
