It's just that after this man became powerful, he became so proud and complacent that he even ignored his adoptive father Yan Song. Lu Bing collected evidence and instigated his subordinates to defect to Mongolia, and he was found guilty. Qiu Luan was already ill, and being treated like this was basically a crime.

He died of fear, and three days after his death, the furious Jiajing ordered his coffin to be opened and his body slaughtered.

Obviously, as Jiajing's brother-in-law, Lu Bing was influenced by his eyes and ears, and he was unambiguous in fighting with others. Moreover, because Qiu Luan's crimes were so heinous and hated by everyone, Lu Bing tortured him to death. There is also a reputation among the people as "wisdom to eliminate Qiu Luan"

, highly praised.

Lu Bing was also proud of the removal of Qiu Luan, but when he mentioned the White Lotus Sect's power outside the Great Wall, he sighed: "These evil thieves control the border, and their actions are effective. The generals only know how to exploit the soldiers and the people, but they don't know how to protect their homes and the country."

, many people were tortured and unbearable, so they crossed the Great Wall and surrendered to the Communist Party..."

Li Yan was silent.

Every time in troubled times, in order to survive, some people would rather flee to barbarian lands than stay in the Central Plains.

For example, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a large number of Han people fled to the Turks. Later, during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin deliberately moved the Han people back from the Turks to increase the population.

But the Ming Dynasty is not yet at the end of the dynasty. A large number of border people have fled to Mongolia, which is really shocking. On the one hand, it is the corruption of officials. Under the military merit policy of karma, the Ming army especially likes to kill good people and take credit for their merits. Naturally, the unlucky people are the people on the border.

.

On the other hand, there is religious incitement and provocation.

Lu Bing also said: "These refugees have opened up "Bansheng" on the border, which means village in Mongolian. However, they do not live like the Mongolians. They still farm and survive like the Han people. There are many gaps between them.

With the alliance, the White Lotus Sect is their common belief, and more and more Bansheng people join Xiao Qin's command, and their power continues to grow."

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Then it's no wonder that he was named a national master..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anda Khan will appoint Xiao Qin as a national advisor, obviously not only because of the White Lotus Sect, but also because the other party does have a large territory and has elite soldiers.

With nearly 10,000 people, and the fanatical support of all the Bansheng Catholics, they can pull out an army of tens of thousands and become a force that cannot be underestimated in the border areas.

Xiao Qin, like Wang Zhi, belongs to

According to the standard Ming Nuqian, Wang Zhi led the Japanese invaders to invade the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Qin led the Mongols to invade the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and Anda Khan invaded the invaders several times, with Xiao Qin and the White Lotus followers as guides.

The key is that every time the Mongolian army invades, Xiao Qin spreads words among the border soldiers and civilians through Bailian disciples, describing Ban Sheng as "there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, and when you go there, you will divide the land, farm cattle, farm tools, and seeds."

"You don't have to pay grain to the Ming government, you don't have to worry about being plundered by the Mongols, and you won't be killed by the Ming army for credit." It's simply a paradise...

The people who didn't understand were naturally overjoyed. When they actually escaped, they found that they had transformed into working for Xiao Qin and opening up wasteland. The key is that they were still caught between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. They were precarious and the situation had not improved.

The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. When people encounter injustices in front of them, they often hope that things will change in the distance. However, when they actually go there, they find that each has its own difficulties and it is not as beautiful as imagined.

Lu Bing explained the situation in the north and considered the motive: "Doctor Li thinks that this is the evil method of the White Lotus Sect? But they don't seem to have such a big power in the southeast..."

"Hard to say!"

Li Yan was meditating when Zhu Si's call came from outside the alchemy room: "Sir! Sir!"

Lu Bing perked up and asked expectantly: "Can I go out to see him?"

Li Yan nodded: "Okay."

The door of the alchemy room opened, Lu Bing stepped out, and a scent of fragrance hit his face.

When Zhu Si saw the good-looking Lu Bing, he was overjoyed at first, then suddenly changed color when he smelled the fragrance, and was so frightened that he backed away like lightning.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Lu Bing laughed loudly: "This is the golden elixir made by Divine Doctor Li. Come and smell it. Does it not have that crazy weird smell?"

Zhu Si was relieved when he heard this. He walked over and said with a grin, "It's great that the Governor is fine!"

Li Yan walked out: "It's just suppression, not a cure. Is there any news from Suzhou?"

Zhu Si quickly took out the letter: "Yes, Mr. Tao asked me to give this to Mr. Tao."

Li Yan unfolded it and saw that it read: "The inner elixirs of the thirty-seven snake monsters in Wujue Cave were not taken by foreign enemies. The specific reason is still under investigation..."

Then he added: "This time it was mainly my mother who found out, and all the credit goes to her!"

Seeing Li Yan's expression of deep thought after reading the letter, Lu Bing was extremely curious, but he was not rude until the letter was handed over.

, then what’s going on?”

Li Yan reached out and made a move, and a jade bottle flew out from the shelf in the alchemy room. There was a label on the bottle with three words written on it, "Pure Breath Pill".

Lu Bing was moved: "Isn't this a panacea for treating epidemics? Doctor Li has also mastered it?"

Jinyiwei is the strongest intelligence department, so they naturally pay attention to the "Pure Breath Pill", a pill that claims to be able to quell epidemics. However, later Tao Taoist just made a fuss and made little actual progress, so he did not follow up.

Li Yan shook his head: "This is a semi-finished product. I opened a furnace before and the refining failed. However, I also analyzed the principle and found that the idea of ​​​​this elixir is actually to sacrifice the "God of Plague"."

Zhu Si suddenly realized: "Five Plagues? No wonder Mr., with his alchemy attainments, has not been able to succeed..."

The god of plague in the world of Journey to the West is none other than the Five Plagues. When King Tota and Third Prince Nezha captured Wukong in the lower realm, among the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals there were "Five Plagues and Five Mountains arranged east and west, and six Ding and Liujia walking left and right." The five plagues were

They are Zhang Yuanbo for the spring plague, Liu Yuanda for the summer plague, Zhao Gongming for the autumn plague, and Zhong Rengui for the winter plague, who are in charge of the history and literature industry of the middle plague.

Among the five gods, the one most familiar to future generations is naturally Zhao Gongming, and they are surprised why he is the god of plague.

In fact, Zhao Gongming's earliest image was that of a fierce ghost. In the Sui Dynasty, he evolved into the god of plague. He "drove thunder and lightning, called for wind and rain, eliminated plague and malaria, protected diseases and avoided disasters." From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty, he was worshiped as the god of plague by the people.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gongming became the God of Wealth. Finally, with the spread of "The Romance of the Gods", Zhao Gongming's setting as the God of Wealth was fixed. In later generations, he was a black-faced and bearded man, holding a silver whip in one hand and holding a gold ingot in the other, beaming with joy.

of

The God of Wealth.

Returning to the Five Plagues in the Journey to the West, Li Yan was not sure which plague god was worshiped with the "Pure Breath Pill", or whether all five were worshiped, but based on in-depth research after the failure, he concluded that the ancient prescription was for this purpose.

This method must have worked before the gods and Buddhas disappeared, but now it is an outdated version.

The problem is that Tao Yin, who was in the "Spirit Locking Ring" state before, was still tirelessly looking for a way to successfully refine alchemy.

Li Yan had a new idea based on the current case: "Tao Taoist has always coveted the snake demon in Wujue Cave, hoping to seize the snake gallbladder and inner elixir. He originally thought he would use these as materials for alchemy, but if he also discovered

The nature of the "Pure Breath Pill" makes it possible to choose another path and use these as tributes for sacrifices!"

Zhu Si understood: "Thirty-seven snake monsters, their inner elixirs were taken away, but not by external force. Was it a sacrifice ceremony?"

Lu Bing shook his head slightly: "To spread faith among a group of snake demons, and even go so crazy as to sacrifice one's own inner elixir, the White Lotus Sect should not have such great capabilities in the south after being encircled and suppressed several times..."

Li Yandao: "In the south, apart from Taoism, Buddhism, and the White Lotus Sect, are there any other widely worshiped beliefs?"

Zhu Si was a little confused: "It seems to be gone, right?"

Lu Bing thought for a moment and said slowly: "So, there is indeed a sacrificial belief that is widely spread among the people in the south. The Zhengde Dynasty once attracted the attention of the government, but this dynasty is much more peaceful. I actually ignored it for a while...

…”

Li Yan asked: "Which god do you believe in?"
