"It saves trouble to talk to smart people." The old man said, "Two hundred years ago, the law of heaven came and the land of China was destroyed. The world was devastated, and the fields were starved to death. Floods and beasts were rampant in the world, and every house was empty. It was the gloomiest era in the world.

It was also an era when heroes emerged in large numbers. A Taoist priest came out of nowhere and used divine grass to reshape the order of the world and create a true pure land on earth. If successful, the world would span several eras and enter a new era. Unfortunately, this plan was abandoned.

Destroy and end in failure.”

Zhu Yan asked: "Who is it?"

The old man said, "One of them is your ancestor, the Yinyang King Zhao Lanjiang, who is also your Lizong Emperor Zhu Yi. He seized the restoration, regained the world, and recuperated. In more than ten years, the world was restored.

The prosperous times were restored, but the shortcomings of the imperial system were gradually revealed. Foreign relatives took power and the eunuchs were dictatorial. Although he signed an armistice agreement with the Western Chu, he was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He reflected on what he had done, asked questions, and finally decided to go.

He compromised and wanted to restore the Pure Land plan. The sacred herb was only in Dingzhou. He sent a large army to attack the border and prepared to seize the sacred herb. However, the city of Dingzhou disappeared from the world overnight, making him return without success. Half a year later,

Lizong died suddenly, and the matter was settled. However, the Blood Handprint Organization and the ambitious plans of Emperor Lizong have been preserved."

After Zhu Yan heard this, he could not deny it and said: "If this is true, why have I never heard of blood handprints?"

The old man's hoarse laughter came, "Just because you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. On the contrary, organizations are everywhere. They just appear in other identities. Some are wealthy gentry, some are civil servants, and some are military generals, infiltrating

In human life, you just didn’t notice it. Maybe, they don’t even know it themselves.”

Zhu Yan was greatly moved when he heard this.

Is there such a power in the world? The old man's words sounded like alarmist, but his tone sounded like he was convinced. If it is true as he said, the Blood Handprint Organization should be an extremely terrifying force.

, can even subvert the power of the regime.

The old man added, "Originally, the organization chose a person to lead the overall situation in the human world. If necessary, restart the Pure Land Plan on Earth. And we always thought that this person would be the best candidate. Unfortunately, this person was too ambitious and had too many methods.

He was cruel and out of control."

Zhu Yan asked, "What is the plan for the Pure Land on Earth that you mentioned?"

The old man said: "Use the sacred grass to enslave the world, create a steel army, and establish a true totalitarian society, so that everyone will lose their desires and become a docile and gentle flock, and those in power will also use the sacred grass to gain immortality, and thus become

Eternal God! At that time, the world will be unified, there will be no injuries, no wars, no strife in the world, there will be only peace and order."

Niu Dafu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Isn't this a pig raised in captivity?"

The old man sneered, "What's the difference between your current life and that of a pig? It just requires you to make a little sacrifice, and then you can enjoy the ultimate happiness. Why not?"

Niu Dafu said, "Then why wasn't you the one who sacrificed?"

boom!

His fat body flew out again. Niu Dafu struggled to get up and said angrily, "If you can't explain it, just beat him?"

"Those who achieve great things should abandon the benevolence of women and resort to extraordinary measures. I am here to teach you that it is better to use your fists to reason with your mouth than with your mouth. In this world, fists are more effective!"

Zhu Yan was deep in thought. What the old man said just now had a great mental impact on him. He was different from Niu Dafu. He was the one who would control the world in the future. The old man's words seemed to open up another way of thinking for him.

And it is possible for him to realize the dream that the wise and powerful Emperor Lizong failed to fulfill.

This can be regarded as inheriting the ancestral teachings!

Zhu Yan asked: "You told me this because you want me to realize this?"

The old man sighed, "No, it's just that I'm too bored. After being locked up in this dark cell for decades, it's hard to find someone who can talk, so I can vent my anger."

Imprisoned?

Cell?

I'm sorry, this old guy is not the one who kidnapped them, but a prisoner here?

Niu Dafu said: "It turns out he is a psychopath."

After saying this, he even took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, the old man did not take action, and sighed again, "Well, there are talented people in the country, and each generation is not as good as the last generation. After the disappearance of Dingzhou City, the world is really

The Yuan Dynasty is thin, and there are many cowards in the world, and there is no such beautiful scenery as before. What's more, your father has used the New Deal in recent years to turn the entire world into a stagnant water. It is estimated that this world of great harmony will never see the light of day."

"Then why are you locked up here?"

Since this person knew so many things, his identity should be common. Zhu Yan asked what he had always wanted to ask.

The old man said: "The survival of an organization ultimately depends on its people. After a hundred years of development, it is no longer as monolithic as it was when it was first founded. People all have selfish desires, and their desires are endless. After gaining the supreme power in the world,

, people's ideas will also change. The internal division gradually began to divide, and more than 20 years ago, internal fighting finally broke out, and I was one of those losers."

Niu Dafu sarcastically said, "It's ridiculous for a group of people with selfish desires to try to build a harmonious world without desires or desires."

The old man said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If you lose, you are defeated. There is nothing to defend."

Zhu Yan asked again, "Why did they kidnap us?"

"You should ask them this question, not me."

There was a rumble.

The door to the secret room slowly opened.

…

The whole capital exploded.

His Majesty, the Ming Prince, disappeared out of thin air in full view of the public and underwent a huge transformation. Moreover, he was protected by a thousand forbidden troops and more than 200 masters of the six gates. Even the best magician in the world would definitely do it.

Not coming out.

There are only a few breaths of time before and after.

The two men disappeared without a trace.

After the incident, without any delay, the Forbidden Army and the Six Gates immediately blocked Dingguo Temple and more than ten surrounding streets, launched a blanket search, and even demolished many suspicious houses.

If Dingguo Temple was not a royal temple, it might not be able to escape the fate of being demolished.

Still found nothing.

Chief Catcher Yang Deshui was so frightened that his face turned pale. Day and night passed, but he still found nothing. He was in a trance, as if he had lost his soul. His job as Chief Catcher had not yet warmed up, but he encountered such a situation.

If something goes wrong, it's really a bad year.

Now their mission is to find the missing prince. If there is really something wrong with him, he may be buried with him. In his confusion, he even asked his assistant to go to the coffin shop to find out if there were any discounts recently.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing have been busy.

The two of them didn't sleep all day and night.

This plan was their idea, and if something goes wrong, it will naturally be their responsibility.

The craftsmen who built the stage on site were all interrogated by them, and they were all well-informed people in the capital, and there was no breakthrough. The only descendant of Iron Arrow who might know the truth was imprisoned in the imperial prison, enjoying the life of the imperial prison.

Japanese luxury experience package, judging from the feedback from Murong, he was very tough and still made no progress.

Originally, a hidden compartment was built to deal with emergencies.

As a result, the hidden grid is still there, but the people are gone.

The two of them carefully inspected the secret compartment, and found that there were only two people's footprints inside. Moreover, the secret compartment was surrounded by iron plates. There was only one exit at the top and a bluestone slab at the bottom. There was no tunnel or anything like that. How did the other party kidnap the two people away?

What about?

They took strict precautions for this kidnapping, but still failed.

The other party was obviously prepared.

The person who caused chaos and conflict at the scene has admitted that he was paid to cause trouble at the scene, and the person who took out the transforming bow from the water tank has already confessed that he was ordered by others to take the opportunity to attract the attention of the guards.

This creates opportunities for real archers.

Although the Iron Arrow successor's arrow was exquisite, it was sabotaged by Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing who arrived in time. Everything was planned, but who could have expected that the other party would still take one step further than them, and from the secret grid,

Kidnap the prince?

In other words, their plan has been known to the other party and is under their control?

But the only person who knew about this plan, apart from the two of them and the parties involved, was the chief arrester Yang Deshui, and it was closely related to his life. How could he, who was so greedy for life and afraid of death, do something like killing his head?

Zhao Xingdao: "We have also ignored one person."

"who?"

"A storyteller."

Fan Xiaodao said in astonishment: "Tiejiang Liu?"

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "I made iron arrows and made up a story about a deformed bow to lead us astray and lead us astray, creating opportunities for real archers. If he says he doesn't know about this, I won't kill him."

believe."

Blacksmith Liu is a time-honored brand in Beijing.

Zhao Xing has known about this blacksmith shop since he was very young. Blacksmith Liu is an honest man. He usually makes things commonly used by ordinary people, such as hammers, knives, iron pots, kitchen knives, etc. He is also good at making some strange and obscene things.

It is a skillful item, so it is well-known in the capital.

Due to the capital's control over weapons, the shop registered weapons manufacturing procedures at Liumen several years ago. It is also the only shop in the capital qualified to cast weapons, and is responsible for the maintenance and repair of weapons from Liumen and the Military and Horse Department.

So when the two of them were casting iron arrows and hidden traps, they found him immediately.

When the two came to the shop, Blacksmith Liu was burning a furnace. A pot of molten iron was melting in the furnace. One of the two apprentices was adding charcoal to control the temperature of the furnace, and the other was pulling the bellows. The shop was steaming with steam. Even though it was late autumn, Blacksmith Liu was still shirtless.
