Chapter 337: The Cave
When entering, Zheng Lang looked north.
Zheng Lang could not do anything about what happened in the north, and if it was involved, this dispute could be decades, more than a hundred years, until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. He doesn't want to do anything, and he will be stuck in it for the rest of his life, which does not fit his loose surname.
Do what you have now.
Just took the opportunity of Chen Zuo's case to submit some low-cost small objects, which could not be presented at ordinary times, which would make Yanchen impeach himself and bewitch Zhao Zhen's playthings. But at this time, it doesn't matter, by the way, let Zhao Zhen have fun.
He could have dodged it!
The officials began to catch and chase people like wolves.
They don't have a good impression of the pilgrims at all, and the people you send money and things to are not high-ranking monks, but gangsters, and they are rampant for the tiger.
More than 60 pilgrims who stayed in the middle of the night were frightened, and all of them got up, and under the urging of the officials, they were driven to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Seeing Zheng Lang, he asked suspiciously: "Zheng Zhizhou, what are you going to do!" ”
The tone was strongly dissatisfied.
Some of them left later, and they saw the officials arresting the great monks.
"Don't be wordy, this official will handle the case, and if you block it, you will be punished with fifty lashes." Zheng Lang said coldly.
After a while, the Chen brothers walked down. At this time, they changed out of their women's clothes and became men again.
Zheng Lang walked over and said, "Thank you Chen Jiaerlang." ”
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Wang Tongju for help and find two beautiful men in Jiangning County to come and pretend. This one is easier to find, the Adam's apple is also easy to cover, and the skirt collar is a little higher and you can't see it. It's mainly a beard.,Can't get two beautiful girls with beards.,Zhishan doesn't believe it.。 After persuading for a long time, the two beautiful men endured the pain and cut their love, and pulled off their beards one by one, not shaving, but dialing. Cover up the bearded eyes with fine grease, apply grease and powder, and then steam two large steamed buns in a steamer, wrap them in silk cloth, tie them on their chests, and put on a high-necked flower skirt outside.
The little maid is a real woman. I came here a few days ago, and for fear of revealing flaws, there is a real woman, which is easier to hide. It was a note invited from Jiankang City. I really went back to Jiangning, but I didn't take the money, but I received the reward money.
However, there was no movement on the first day.
Today, Zheng Lang made a second arrangement, and asked the two clever van soldiers to buy some cloth, pretending to be pilgrims from Jiangning from afar, entering Linjiang Temple, and then preaching everywhere that he was grateful for his sister.
The other pilgrims gathered around, feeling what kindness?
A few years ago, my sister came to ask for a child, and I really asked for a white and chubby son, not only effective, but also did not give birth to a child for ten years before, this broken fetus, followed by three consecutive births, this is the third child.
What do these pilgrims come for?
One is to ask for a child, the other is to repay the vow, and the wish also needs to be effective in the Buddhist temple, what is the use of burning incense if it does not work? So I listened to it with relish.
Then the voice changed, and he said that he heard that two concubines of a well-known wealthy family in Jiangning also came here to ask for children. This rich man is very remarkable, his family has millions of yuan of family property, and the lucrative business of salt, tea, and silk is very large. It's just that there are few children, and I don't know if I can get my wish this time.
Some pilgrims thought about it, but it was the pair of sisters they were talking about, so they asked what they looked like. What else is not on the number.
Talking nonsense again, what is 500 gold, if it is effective, 5,000 gold people can give it up.
A dry pilgrim listened with envy and amazement, no wonder the shot was so bold, daring to lover that the family was so poor that only gold remained.
After only a few blows, the news entered the ears of several big monks in the temple.
Understood.
But there were some poor pools in between.
I didn't expect the monks in the temple to come so quickly, and I talked for a while in the afternoon, and I was ashamed to welcome them. After all, it's a man, and it's tiring to learn how tiring a woman to speak. Several great monks left satisfied. At least that's a good attitude.
After dinner, the four monks came, and a few soldiers were climbing up with ropes, and if they saw it, wouldn't it be very troublesome. Chen Dalang said in a sloppy voice: "Master, my sister is taking a bath, and the concubine has not been washed, let's wash it and you come in, okay?" ”
It was another bath, and another delicate sound, and several monks listened to it and their legs were weak.
Fool a few monks down.
More than a dozen people were in place, some went up to the roof, some hid under the bed, two beds, there were not many people hiding, only four people could hide.
The great monk came in and began to preach the Dharma, but in the end it gradually became unspeakable, but he couldn't do it yet. The Chen brothers still wanted to welcome and refuse, saying that they didn't agree, but the two of them looked at each other and said they agreed, but they never agreed at the last level.
The big monk became irritable and began to overlord hard bow, can this be on it, and the two big steamed buns fell down with a rancid smell. The four of them were stupid on the spot, what's going on?
The ambushers poured out at once and were captured alive on the spot.
Sent people back to report the news, but they didn't dare to move, and there were more monks, who were also afraid of hurting the innocent pilgrims.
It wasn't until the big group came in that a group of people escorted the four monks down the mountain.
Seeing the two rich concubines turn into men, the pilgrims were stunned together. Some feel a little weird, and a few very smart vaguely guess something, this front is put down, and two fake women pour in the back, and then catch the big monk, can there be no weirdness?
Some pilgrims didn't dare to think about it.
Zheng Lang then said: "Everyone, excuse me, there is a very good chance that there will be a big case in Linjiang Temple, several lives, and some other cases that can be beheaded, everyone, take your luggage and leave this place of right and wrong." ”
Expelled them, Zhao Tongju led them on the boat and sailed all the way to Wuhu County, which was not very far, and arrived in a while. Go on and let them come down, shout to the officials, and drive them on. All the way to the building.
If you want to know why, please take a look here. Including tomorrow, the temple will continue to be blocked, and if you ask the reason, you won't answer, and if you want to find an answer, or if you are dissatisfied, come here to take a look.
Some pilgrims heard about this courtyard, which is very mysterious, but what does it have to do with Linjiang Temple?
Walk in slowly.
The first thing I saw was a stone statue, and I carved some outlines, and I didn't even carve the words on the stone base.
Continuing inside, several houses were not built, the outside was about covered, and the inside had not had time to be painted, and in some places only a little white lime had been painted, but some of the equipment had already been made.
The first is fish washing, the manufacturing cost is very low, and the success rate is also very low, about a hundred are made, and only two are successful.
A large copper basin with four fish carved in the basin, touch their ears, and the water in the basin will automatically spray into the air, just like the fish come alive and splash in all directions.
There is a schematic diagram engraved on the side of the wall, how much water is held and the performer's skill is high, so that there are four to eight ripples on the water surface, four fish are engraved on the copper fish wash, the four fish mouths correspond to the four vibration waves of the wash, the four fish mouths and fish whiskers correspond to the four wave bellies, and the four water columns sprayed after the fish wash are rubbed as if spraying out of the fish's mouth. This is the principle of resonance.
Not only does it create a low success rate, but it also requires the rhythm of the performers' friction, and other audiences can touch it, either they can succeed or they can't. The craftsman led everyone to try it, and one by one they called it magical.
As for the principle, no one understood it.
What is Resonance?
But this device was also invented in the Song Dynasty, much later.
The second is the marquee.
In a round or square lantern, insert a wire as the main shaft, a impeller is installed above the shaft, two crossed wires are installed in the center of the shaft, and each wire is pasted with people or story paper-cuts, when the lantern is lit, the heat rises, forming an air flow, pushing the impeller to rotate, so the paper-cuts rotate with the wheel shaft, and their shadows are projected onto the lantern paper cover.
I don't know if it appeared, it was very popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui had a poem to say, one after another, riding a small roundabout, conjuring up Cao Gong's chariot, if you know the hero knows the bottom line, don't teach your children to play in front of the lamp. It was written that the marquee.
I also drew a schematic diagram, but there was not a single one who could understand it.
I just think it's amazing again.
Why did you turn it yourself?
The third is expensive, the concave and convex mirror, you must buy the glass imported from the big food, and the extra thick kind, brush the mercury at the back, and then pour lead water, and finely polish it into various concave and convex surfaces. The effect is not as good as that of the later diorama, but it can play some role.
After looking at it, they laughed strangely.
In the fourth room, there is pinhole imaging, in a secret room, the light source is radiated from a small hole, and the other end of the light source is hung with paintings, slowly shaking, just like a small movie, but the picture is upside down, and the image is not clear. But in the Song Dynasty alas. Isn't it amazing?
So after it was made, although Zheng Lang said the principle, Shi Congguang and his wife were still very surprised, Huan'er asked Zheng Lang, why do you know everything?
In fact, except for the fish washing, which is somewhat complicated and difficult to make, other things are easy to manufacture, as long as the conditions allow.
One by one, they ran to the fifth room, and then froze, a big Buddha, which looked similar to that of Linjiang Temple. There is still a difference, in order to save costs, the whole Buddha statue is made of wood. In addition to a few important places, such as the five friction surfaces, the tips of the Buddha's two fingers, the groove behind the Buddha, the vertex in the middle of the groove, the contact place must be wear-resistant, and it is copper, which is also smoother than wood, and it will be very labor-saving when turning.
There is a big incense burner in front of the Buddha, and after these pilgrims go in, let them look at it first, look back and forth, and they can't see that there are people inside. When the performance began, they didn't want to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the golden wheel turned on its own. Stop for a moment. The craftsman inside moved the incense burner, the incense burner is very important, in order to show that there is no one inside, so the bottom of the Buddha is hollowed out into a lotus shape. But it doesn't matter if you look from the side and from behind, if you bend down from the front, you can see the person standing on the golden wheel inside the Buddha statue. So a large incense burner was placed. Who dares to move this incense burner?
The incense burner also has a function, there is a hidden door at the bottom of the hollow Buddha, the workmanship is precise, it is difficult to see, just behind the incense burner. With the movement of the incense burner, the door can be opened. Now move the incense burner, bring a small ladder, put down the people on the golden wheel inside, and then let the pilgrims go up to perform, no other conditions, just wear socks and run on the golden wheel.
When a person runs on it, the reaction force causes the golden wheel to rotate, and the faster he runs, the faster the golden wheel turns. If you want the monk to run fast, the pilgrim has to show sincerity, such as donating 300 acres of fertile land, where the big monk is desperately running, and the one is boundless fast.
I tried it, but I was at a loss when I came down one by one, and I didn't know what to do.
Then they asked each other, "What's going on?" ”
……
Over there, Zheng Lang began to ask questions.
Separate these monks and torture them separately.
After a while, the roots of Zhishan were found.
Zhishan turned out to be a gangster in the south, handsome, and hooked up with the concubine of a local rich man, and was discovered by the rich man, sold the concubine, and sent someone to beat Zhishan hard. Knowing good and evil, he touched the rich man's house on a rainy night and killed all his family. Then he quietly ran out with his belongings.
But the states were chasing the murderer in the shadows, and they had no choice, so they went to a temple in Quzhou to be a monk, but it was too close to his hometown, so he was uneasy and secretly came to Linjiang Temple. When he got here, his heart was at peace.
After staying for a long time, he was a fake monk, and his spring heart was unbearable, so he came up with a clever trick, and he had money in his hand to dig out the mountain platform. At first, he didn't know that it would become popular later, just to satisfy his personal silver desire.
When I saw a young woman who was not serious, I came up to talk to her, and the whole temple didn't know it at first. And at that time, the scale of Linjiang Temple was also very small, there were only about a dozen monks of all sizes, and the incense was not very prosperous. Didn't pay attention.
Zhishan was not very old at that time, evil was in his heart, and he was good-eyed, which really made him meet a few young women who couldn't bear it. Get up quietly at night and fool around.
This mix, some young women are really pregnant, in order to conceal it, they said nonsense, the one in Linjiang Temple who asked for the blessing of Guanyin.
After the incense got better, some monks also defected and threw themselves at him. But some monks were a little disgusted by this, and finally let the original abbot catch him. Zhishan was once again afraid of evil, strangled the original abbot to death, and called him dead to the outside world, and the other three dissatisfied monks also died inexplicably one after another.
In order to control the monks in the temple and do whatever they want, another cave was dug behind the Zen courtyard, which was very hidden and no one noticed. Then when he met the young women who resisted, he did not push them to the river, but imprisoned them.
Then force the monks in the temple to go up and give silver.
One by one, they were dragged into the water. In fact, for the sake of greed and support for the ascendancy of Zhishan, these monks have gone astray.
In other words, the seven or eight missing young women, including the little ladies of the Gao family, are all in the world. Only two of them couldn't bear it because they had been locked up for a long time, and they died in humiliation.
Not only these seven or eight young women, but also some young women from other places and their little maids, left alone, after hearing about this temple, they came alone, so that the monks in the temple heard about it, and immediately started to arrest them forcibly to satisfy their silver desire. Some men came with their husbands and killed them, leaving the young women behind. Originally, he also picked a young woman with good looks and property to do it, but later there was so much money that he couldn't put it down, so he picked out those young women with good looks to start.
The daughter of the Gao family was an accident, there was a monk with a heavy taste, seeing her bronzed skin, about the delicate little lady had seen too much, and wanted to change the taste, so it happened. As a result, I didn't expect this accident to lead to a catastrophe.
After the trial, a total of fourteen lives were killed, and they didn't ask the young women who were insulted by them, there were too many, it was possible that they couldn't remember it clearly, and Zheng Lang didn't want to ask. But there is one thing, the concubine of Wang Zhizhou who just left must be a monk's species, which monk's, there is no way to figure it out. He had an affair with about seven or eight monks, and he couldn't recognize his father even if he wanted to. There were also eighteen women locked up in the cave.
Zhao Tongju had just returned, and when he heard about this, his face turned pale with fright.
But it was not easy to do, and to put it mildly, I would rather these women be killed than let them live. This life is even more difficult to deal with the aftermath.
Punching and kicking all the way, let Zhishan lead them to the front of the cave, and open some creepers, inside is a stone gate. This arrangement is very ingenious, the ground is biased, the creeper hangs down, and just covers, it is possible to walk in front of you, and you can't see the existence of the stone gate.
Pushing the stone door open, there were some wall lamps hanging inside, and some scenes could be seen clearly, Zheng Lang and Zhao Tongju suddenly put their hands together, closed their eyes, and recited: "Amitabha." "
