Chapter 48: Legends of Jianghu
The Third Department of the Ministry of War is located deep in the mountains. In view of its construction needs, the Third Department is actually in the mountains, and the entire mountain was hollowed out to build the Third Department.
The entire building is integrated with the mountain and is strong enough to withstand missile bombardment.
Deep in the building is Bai Gangliang's laboratory, hidden behind the mountain, which is the most secluded place in the entire building.
In the silver-white laboratory, Bai Gangliang was practicing day and night.
Since there is no experimental material for me, I will become my own experimental material.
In his pursuit of the truth of the universe, Bai Gangliang never leaves himself any room for retreat.
It was unknown how long it had been before Bai Gangliang woke up from his practice.
He walked to the table nearby, skillfully cut off a piece of epidermal tissue from his left hand, and placed it under the microscope.
The puppets used as experimental materials were of too high a level, and he could only study himself now, because Lin Qingsheng forbade him to study those Nirvana seekers, saying that seeing those extraordinary people would put too much psychological pressure on him.
What's the point of having too much psychological pressure? A cut won't kill anyone.
I'm not some devil.
A group of people who follow their hearts.
Picking up the experimental equipment, Bai Gangliang began to do the experiment. He wanted to find the so-called Qi body from the sliced tissue.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Gangliang put down the experimental equipment in his hand and sighed: "I still can't find the difference."
There is no visible difference in the sliced tissue, except that it is more active.
Bai Gangliang turned his head and looked at the puppet placed in the corner of the laboratory, and sighed:
"When will I reveal your secret?"
“Crack!”
As the handle of the laboratory door was moved, Lin Qingsheng pushed the door open and walked in.
Bai Gangliang glanced at Lin Qingsheng, then continued with his own experimental improvements and thinking, as if he had gotten used to it.
Lin Qingsheng walked in through the gate and stopped in front of it, hesitating.
He wanted to add an extra layer of insurance to his cooperation with the white-robed monk because he felt that the white-robed monk was likely to cheat them in the end.
And perhaps only the Puppet Man can add a layer of insurance to this cooperation.
But adding an unknown condition for insurance purposes may result in even greater risks.
“It turns out there is such a place here.”
Like the spring breeze in March, a gentle and magnetic voice rang out in the laboratory.
Lin Qingsheng suddenly turned around, and the white-robed monk clasped his hands together and looked at Lin Qingsheng with a smile.
"Captain Lin, there is such a good place, but you didn't bring me here. I am so sad."
It would take ten days for the Ming Nirvana Organization to recruit soldiers, so the white-robed monk stayed in the Third Department of the Ministry of War.
They will go to Yinshan tomorrow.
Lin Qingsheng subconsciously glanced at the puppet in the corner, then immediately restrained himself and moved his gaze back.
However, this was still keenly grasped by the white-robed monk.
"Captain Lin, it seems that something interesting has been placed here."
The white-robed monk turned his head and looked in the direction where Lin Qingsheng was subconsciously observing.
The next second, his expression suddenly changed subtly, from casual and a little indifferent, to serious, and then to cautious.
"This is... Bai Xiaosheng!"
But in a moment, Lin Qingsheng felt that the white-robed monk in front of him became solemn.
It was the first time that Lin Qingsheng saw the white-robed monk show such a surprised expression. His original expression was always nonchalant, as if everything was under control.
Lin Qingsheng originally thought that only people like them in the Ming Dynasty knew about the puppet man, but the white-robed monk in front of him also knew about it.
There is only one possibility. The Puppet Man is very famous in the circle of extraordinary people. He is so famous that even the unorthodox forces that are ridiculed by the Puppet Man as the lowest class forces know of its existence.
But...is this puppet's name really Bai Xiaosheng?
"Is it famous?" Lin Qingsheng asked indirectly.
The white-robed monk Bujie glanced at Lin Qingsheng, and seemed to want to tease him in a frivolous tone, but after taking a look at the puppet, he gave up.
“Almost everyone knows about Bai Xiaosheng’s possessed puppet. Those who want to see it can line up from here to the horizon.”
"Lined to the edge of the sky?" Lin Qingsheng opened his mouth.
The white-robed monk Bujie nodded and said:
"Legend has it that it knows everything. You can ask it anything about the past and the future, and it will give you the answer as long as you pay a price."
"Whenever the spiritual energy is abundant, it will appear. Regardless of the people, weapons, and sects in the world, there is no one in the world of cultivation who does not know about it."
"And the last time it appeared was in the early Ming Dynasty. It is said that he and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty were good friends."
The white-robed monk turned his head and glanced at the puppet, saying:
"That may be why you can see it. This puppet man won't just appear in one place."
Lin Qingsheng looked at the monk in white and said in surprise: "This is not the tone of your voice. If you like something, it's already polite not to snatch it!"
The white-robed monk Bujie did not refute when he heard this comment, as he was just that kind of person.
He can be cheerful and talkative, or he can kill without blinking an eye.
"If I could snatch this puppet, I would really like to be the destined person. Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng has been in the world for thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to snatch the things he gave."
The white-robed monk looked at the puppet and said cautiously:
"He can give to others, but you can't steal."
"What if it was robbed?" Lin Qingsheng hypothesized.
The white-robed monk looked at Lin Qingsheng and said, "Kill them all. This is extremely cruel."
While the two were talking, the puppet man who was originally leaning in the corner of the laboratory stood up, as if he suddenly came to life, and a smile appeared on his strange face.
"It's not a good idea to talk about me behind my back."
The puppet man walked out from the corner step by step, and his cloth feet stepped on the ground without making any sound.
The laboratory fell silent for a moment.
The monk in white bowed very politely and said:
"Zuo Dao Bujie pays homage to Senior Bai Xiaosheng."
The puppet man transformed by Wen Zhengming glanced at them, as if he had already seen through their thoughts.
"You both have questions to ask, who's going first?"
“Crack!”
Bai Gangliang on the side turned the door handle consciously and walked out of the laboratory skillfully before Lin Qingsheng could speak.
Lin Qingsheng glanced at the white-robed monk and said, "He can also ask?"
"It depends on my mood. It may be okay now, but may not be okay later." The puppet man said calmly.
After saying that, the puppet man turned around and looked at the white-robed monk Bujie.
Upon hearing this, the white-robed monk Bujie immediately asked:
"I want to know... where is the inheritance of exorcism and spirit writing?"
Bai Xiaosheng, the person that everyone in the world is looking forward to.
No one can refuse to have their doubts solved by him, even if it costs money.
The puppet knocked on the table in the laboratory and said:
"The land of Guangdong and Guangxi is in the body of a woman named Yi Su. You want to complete all the left-handed ways and seek the forbidden book Lu Ban Shu."
The monk in white robes neither admitted nor denied it, but said politely:
"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, sir?"
The puppet looked at the white-robed monk and said:
"You know the rules very well. When Lu Ban created the Wood Immortal, there was a drought in Wu for three years. Later, Wu sent gifts. Lu Ban lamented that he had done something wrong and cut off one of the Wood Immortal's fingers. This finger fell into the Western Regions. You help me destroy it."
Lin Qingsheng was listening on the side and understood a little bit. The white-robed monk wanted to collect all the unorthodox skills and obtain the "Lu Ban Book".
Lin Qingsheng himself has also heard the story of "Lu Ban Book".
Rumor has it that in ancient times, Lu Ban got tired of building houses thousands of miles away and missed home, so he made a little invention and created a wooden kite.
Lu Ban climbed up the wooden kite, humming a tune, and only needed to knock on the kite three times and it would fly up into the sky. In an instant it would travel a thousand miles and go home to play with his wife.
Only Lu Ban and his wife knew about the secret date, everyone else was kept in the dark.
After a while, Lu Ban's wife became pregnant.
Lu Ban’s mother quit her job. What does it mean? My husband has been away for more than three years, how come you, a wife, have a child?
Lu Ban’s wife: Well, my husband often comes back by plane…
Father Luban’s eyes lit up: What, where is the plane?
Then tragedy struck. Old Man Lu mounted the wooden kite and struck it randomly for more than ten times. As a result, the wooden kite pulled Old Man Lu into the sky of Wu State.
The people of Wu looked up and were shocked. What kind of monster is that? Shoot!
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and old man Lu died...
It is said that afterwards, Lu Ban built another wooden kite and flew to the State of Wu. He was so angry when he saw the body of old man Lu.
Who do you think is a monster? ! ! !
This is intolerable.
Lu Ban returned to the construction site and made another wooden immortal, with his finger pointing angrily at the land of Wu. As a result, Wu suffered a severe drought for three years and people were so hungry that they had to eat dirt.
The Wu Kingdom also has experts, and they sent people to investigate secretly.
My God, Lu Ban’s father was killed. Lu Ban was offended. He should send a few carts of gifts to apologize.
Lu Ban also felt that it was a bit too much to let the people of Wu take the blame, and out of guilt he cut off the finger that the Wood Immortal extended.
Soon, heavy rain fell in Wu for several days, relieving the drought...
Later, in his later years, Lu Ban wrote all his unique skills into the "Lu Ban Book".
It is said that all the words in this forbidden book are extremely terrifying evil spells, and only the widowed, lonely, and disabled people have the fate to be able to bear them.
Does this book really exist?
Lin Qingsheng looked at the white-robed monk in front of him and made up his mind.
This book is not only interesting, but also extraordinary.
The white-robed monk bowed and walked out of the laboratory.
Only Lin Qingsheng was left, and the puppet man looked at Lin Qingsheng.
"I want to know how to prevent the evil monk from going back on his word!" Lin Qingsheng said.
The puppet man smiled and said, "Find someone to go to Hengshan Mountain, put a five-meter-high seven-colored stick on the mountain, and use a red flag to write the events of Yinshan on it."
"That's all?"
"That's it!"
"What do I need to do?" Lin Qingsheng asked.
The Muppet laughed.
"Publish the weapons list for me."
