Chapter 296 One hundred thousand taels of gold
"I know all the words said by Taoist priest, but I am now quite excluded in Mongolia because I am kind to the people of the Han area and like Confucianism. This time I attacked Song State, I was even more excluded. How can Taoist priest let me gain military power? Do you want me to learn from the Prince Wei Wuji and take the risk of stealing the military power in the front?" Kublai Khan interrupted the old Taoist priest.
"Haha, if the commander has this confidence and courage, what's wrong? The sect king Tachar is not good at attacking the city and has been blocked in Jingshan for half a year. This is absolutely not in line with the order of Mengge Khan. If this situation cannot be broken until the beginning of spring, I am afraid that this war will end in vain. If the commander learns, Wei Wuji seizes Tachar's military power and then breaks through the defense line of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Once the commander leads the Mongolian army to win this war, he will also get a lot of benefits..."
"Yun Songzi, what is your intention to deceive the commander like this? Do you don't know what Wei Wuji will end?" The old man surnamed Yao stood up angrily.
"How dare you? I'm just joking with the words of the commander. By the way, I haven't asked the sir for the name of Gao!" The old Taoist priest bowed his head and apologized.
"Hmph, I'm just a commoner, my surname is Yao Shu!" The old man surnamed Yao snorted coldly.
"Yao Shu, is it the folk legend that Sai Wang Meng?" The old Taoist priest stood up in surprise.
"I dare not take it. People in the world are just loving you. I am just an unknown person who follows the commander's tent!" The old man surnamed Yao waved his hand coldly.
"Haha, Lord Yao, don't blame me. The old Taoist is abrupt. Although we don't know each other, we all have the same thoughts. We all hope to quell the war between Mongolian and Song dynasties as soon as possible and commit less murder. Among the Mongolian princes who are most familiar with Han affairs, the only one of the Grand Commanders is the most wise. Otherwise, the old Taoist would not risk coming to see the Grand Commanders. Since Lord Yao is here, the old Taoist will feel more at ease when he says the next thing!"
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, Yao Shu's unhappiness slightly dissipated. After bowing, he sat down and said, "I don't know what kind of tricks Master Yun Song has to help the commander get the trust of the Khan and gain military power!"
"Yes, since the Taoist priest has said this, I will not hide it. I also speculate about this war between Mongolia and Song. Even if our attack is resisted by Song, it may not be successful in the short term, but the Song Dynasty will eventually be defeated by our army. But the longer the Song Dynasty resists, the greater the price it will bear in the future. I am afraid that the day when the Song Dynasty is defeated, the blood will be flowing into rivers. I and Mr. Yao are all thinking that they do not want to kill the Han people. But I have no military power and cannot stop the actions of the Mongolian army in the future. If you can help me replace Tachar, I promise you that after breaking the Song Dynasty, I will definitely kill less and be cautious. I will never kill innocent people unless I have to!" Kublai Khan's mood slowly calmed down and began to take what the old Taoist priest said seriously.
"Okay, as long as the commander agrees to treat the people of Jiangnan well, the old Taoist will naturally spare no effort. Please look at this purple jade crystal gossip bottle and think how valuable this thing is?" The old Taoist priest pointed to the crystal glass bottle placed in front of Kublai Khan and asked.
"It's priceless, immeasurable..." Kublai Khan stared at the crystal bottle for a moment before shook his head slightly.
"Since the commander said this, how can the old Taoist think it is worth ten thousand taels of gold?" The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Ten Thousand Taxis of Gold..." Kublai Khan nodded silently for a moment, "If you have to exchange gold, you will think it will be more or less. I don't know what the purpose is?"
"Since ancient times, the war has only been the population of wealth and goods. This crystal treasure bottle is rare in the world and can be regarded as the most precious treasure in the world. I think if the commander gave it to the Khan, he would definitely get the Khan's praise!"
"The Taoist priest said that I would like to offer this vase to the Khan, and the Khan would let me replace Tachar?" Kublai asked in surprise.
"Don't think too simply, the commander. Although this thing is precious, it may not touch the Great Sweat!" Before the old Taoist priest could speak, Yao Shu shook his head first to remind him.
"In this way... the old Taoist originally had two more precious crystal treasures in his hand. They were originally my Taoist treasures to defend the mountain. If they were presented to the Great Khan, they would definitely ensure that the commander would get what he wanted. However, these two magic weapons are not ordinary things, and the old Taoist dared not give them to the commander easily..." The old Taoist said after picking his beard and pondering.
Kublai Khan suddenly became excited when he heard this, "But he didn't know what it is to grow two other treasures. He was so sure that Khan could hand over the military power to me?"
The old Taoist priest looked solemn, and he grabbed his beard for a long time and did not speak, as if he was still thinking about whether he should say it.
"Yun Songzi, you have heard the words of the prince just now. If you cannot help the commander obtain military power, the Song Dynasty will definitely flow into a river in the future. Although these two treasures are precious, they may not be able to give up compared with the lives of the 60 million people in the future. The Tao Te Ching says: Which one is close to fame or body? Which one is more fame or goods? Which one is more fame or death? Extreme love will cost a lot; a lot of money will be lost. Those who are practicing Taoism, fame and fortune are things outside of their bodies, so why bother so stingy!" Yao Shu stood up anxiously and said.
Yun Songzi shook her face and said with a very ugly expression: "Mr. Yao, even though that's it, these two magic weapons are different from the ordinary treasures refined by the old Taoist master. They were magic weapons that took more than a hundred years to successfully refine by several seniors of the old Taoist master. When the master passed away, he specifically told me that once these two magic weapons appear, they will inevitably cause chaos in the world and may cause unpredictable consequences..."
"The saying of luck is illusory. The Taoist priest doesn't want to take it out, so why bother to hide it!" Yao Shu shook his head disdainfully.
"The great way of heaven and earth, all things have laws, and some things cannot be seen clearly by ordinary people. The old Taoist learned the art of observing Qi since he was a child, so how could he talk nonsense... Stop, for the plan of the 60 million people in the Song Dynasty, the old Taoist could take out these two treasures and hand them over to the commander. However, because these two items are too precious, they cannot be given for nothing. The commander needs to give some profits to the master. The old Taoist needs to go back to practice a Taoist temple as compensation to clear away the old Taoist's sins!"
Seeing the old Taoist priest letting go, Yao Shu's face looked much better, and Kublai Khan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a pleasant smile: "What the Taoist priest said is reasonable. These treasures are indeed expensive. I just don't know how much price I will pay to get these two treasures?"
The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment and stretched out a finger and looked at Kublai Khan with a serious face: "One hundred thousand taels of gold..."
"Clang~"
Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Yao Shu stood on the desk directly. Kublai Khan also felt his head buzzing, and his temples were leaping straight at the old Taoist priest.
"The commander needs to be surprised. You are indeed not wrong. It is only 100,000 taels of gold. This is not a mistake by the old Taoist, but once these two magic weapons appear, the old Taoist will not be able to control what will happen in the future. Because according to the Master's reminder, these two magic weapons gather the fortune of the Jiuzhou. Anyone who gets these two magic weapons will definitely be full of luck. It is not a saint who cannot possess it. Otherwise, the fortune will be unpredictable. Therefore, the old Taoist must pay the price of sincerity, and swear that no matter what consequences arise from these two magic weapons in the future, you must not cause trouble for the old Taoist, because once these two magic weapons fall into the hands of the commander, the change of the fortune of the heaven and earth will no longer be stopped!"
The old Taoist priest looked extremely serious when he spoke. Even Yao Shu, who didn't believe it, felt a little cold on his back. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Since you said that these two magic weapons cannot be possessed by the saints. Mengge is the great Khan of Mongolia. He ruled hundreds of tribes and was the real true dragon emperor. I think nothing will happen!"
"Hehe, Lord Yao thought too simply. The old Taoist said just now that these two magic weapons gather the fortune of my Nine Provinces in China. Mengge Khan is not the lord of my Nine Provinces in China. I can't guarantee whether there will be any accidents. But the commander is worried. The old Taoist sees that your purple qi cover has the appearance of the emperor and is a person with great fortune. There should be no problem with these two magic weapons. But if you give them to Mengge Khan, it is better to be careful. If Mengge Khan is in trouble because of this, the old Taoist cannot afford it. Therefore, no matter what kind of changes happen in the future, don't cause trouble for the old Taoist!"
The old Taoist priest laughed and explained a few times and stopped talking. He sat cross-legged on the Persian carpet and showed a look of meditation. The young Taoist priest next to him had never opened his mouth from beginning to end. He sat next to him, watching his nose and nose, and listening to the few people talking.
Yao Shu turned his head to look at Kublai Khan in fear.
Kublai Khan sat in his position and felt his heart thumping loudly almost jumping out of his body.
Although the old Taoist priest's words sounded like nonsense, the crystal clear crystal vase in front of him could not be faked. It was definitely a rare treasure in the world. Therefore, Kublai Khan and Yao Shu couldn't help but treat these words carefully.
The old Taoist priest gave out the treasure vase worth ten thousand gold. The other two were so cautious and mysterious. Therefore, whether it is true or false, Kublai Khan felt that the two Taoist priests in front of him had exceeded his control, and what the old Taoist priest said exceeded his expectations.
After a long quiet in the tent, Kublai Khan's beating heart slowly calmed down, and then he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "If Taoist priest really has such a magical treasure, 100,000 taels of gold is worth the money, but I have one thing to ask clearly!"
"Even if the commander says it, I will speak out!" The old Taoist priest half opens his eyes and nods slightly.
"I don't know what the worst consequences will be?" Kublai Khan asked with a dry mouth.
"Haha, the commander asked knowingly that in life, everything is more than life, and the greatest misfortune is naturally death!" The old Taoist priest replied indifferently.
Kublai Khan's heart began to jump up again, and his face that had just calmed down suddenly flushed. His ears were filled with the sound of blood flowing, as if the Yangtze River was turbulent. There was even a faint blood color in front of him.
"Prince...Prince..."
After staying for nearly three minutes, Kublai Khan woke up from Yao Shu's successive calls, rubbed his temples hard and calmed down and said: "I don't know where these two magic weapons are now, can I take them out for me to see, but please rest assured that after I have seen them, I will never disclose this matter whether I buy them or not."
"Okay!" The old Taoist priest nodded, "Purple air covers Yanjing, and when the master is a saint, he is a foreigner, and should not care about these folk and courts, but heaven has the virtue of life. The old Taoist cannot bear the disaster of war, so he came to see the great commander. First, he reminded the great commander to be prepared, and second, he also knew that the great commander was familiar with Han affairs and was very sympathetic to the people of our Han. He only hoped that the great commander would kill and kill the people of the Song Dynasty, whether it was attacking the Song Dynasty or ascending the throne of the Khan in the future, he would kill and kill the people of the Song Dynasty. Although these two Taoist treasures are valuable, since the old Taoist promised the great commander, he naturally had to take it out, but this thing cannot be easily shown to others. The old Taoist still needs to go back to do a ritual. In addition, the great commander must also fast and bathe for three days to show sincerity. Three days later, the great commander personally went to Lingquan Temple west of Yanjing to find a monk with the name of Xingkong..."
"The Taoist priest is a Taoist monk, why did he put two Taoist treasures in the temple?"
The old Taoist priest's words not only puzzled Yao Shu, but Kublai Khan was even more confused. The two of them couldn't help but interrupt the old Taoist priest's words together.
"Haha, these two treasures are related to the luck of the world. Anyone who touches it will be affected by cause and effect. The old Taoist fake monks just want to share some cause and effect. The battle between Buddhism and Taoism has been fighting for hundreds of years, and this hundred years has made my Taoist sect breathless. These monks claim to be relieved of suffering and suffering. In order to save the people of the world, it is reasonable to help our Taoist sect bear some sins that disrupt the secrets of heaven. By the way, the commander must be extremely careful after getting these two treasures. They must not bear the bumps. Once they are broken, they may affect the commander himself..."
"That's natural, don't worry, Taoist priest!" Kublai Khan nodded quickly, and then asked nervously, "I don't know what else to pay attention to when welcoming these two magic weapons. Please inform the Taoist priest at the same time so that I can prepare early!"
"The commander does not need to be too nervous. When we go home, we emphasize Taoism following nature, doing nothing, and using it without use. The most important thing is that what we do is not important on the surface is that the commander promises the old Taoist to do what he says in the future. The old Taoist will write a detailed talisman table when doing it, praying to many gods in the Taoist sect, and submitting the decree to obey the will of heaven. If the commander breaks his promise and kills innocent people in the future, he will be frightened by the way of heaven, and will not blame the old Taoist for not reminding him in advance..."
"Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will naturally believe in my words. If the Taoist priest's words come true, I will definitely treat the people of the south well in the future and will not easily add up with weapons!" Kublai Khan quickly nodded with a serious face.
"That's good. Let's explain it today. The old Taoist must go back and prepare quickly. In three days, the commander will go to welcome the magic weapon and say goodbye!"
The old Taoist priest bowed his head and called the young Taoist priest to get up and prepare to leave.
"Master Wait..." Kublai Khan quickly stood up from the big bearskin chair.
"What commander has to do?" the old Taoist priest nodded and asked.
"I dare not. Since I will see these two magic weapons in three days, if they are really Taoist treasures, I will definitely buy them, but I don't know how to take the 100,000 taels of golden Taoist priest away?" Kublai asked in confusion.
"Haha, gold, silver and jewelry are just things outside the body. The commander can give it whenever he wants. The old Taoist did not force it, and the old Taoist could not take it with him. Moreover, although the commander was rich, he could not get a hundred thousand taels of gold in three days. Therefore, when will the commander be given the money, the old Taoist only has one requirement..."
"What are the requirements? Please tell me in detail?" Kublai Khan nodded with a strange face.
"Help me deliver this 100,000 taels of gold to Kaifeng Chongyang Temple!"
"Okay, I am familiar with the Chongyang Temple. This temple was built by Qiu Chuji, a real person in Changchun. Although it was destroyed later, it has been repaired over the years. The Taoist priest claimed that he came from Laoshan. The Laoshan School should be the Taoist Taoist Taoist, and it seems that it is not in line with Quanzhen Taoist Taoist?" Kublai Khan's face became even more strange.
