Chapter two hundred and seventy-sixth secret pavilion secret
I am not talking nonsense. The popular zombie movies in the last century, each zombie was wearing the Qing Dynasty official uniform. Northerners thought at first glance that all Qing Dynasty officials could turn into zombies. In fact, this is just that northerners do not understand the customs of the southern coastal generation.
Northerners wore shrouds when they were buried. Some places along the coastal areas wore official uniforms, which meant to be officials in the next life. To put it bluntly, those official uniforms were local shrouds.
The man shouted in the coffin, "How do you believe me?"
I said lightly: "I will ask you a few questions. Can you explain it clearly. It's not too late for me to believe you anymore. Who are you?"
The man replied: "My name is Guo Hongcai, who is a third-class Jinshi in Jiajing year. Later, he was assigned to the Emperor Shi Ke to manage the secret files. Later... I inexplicably entered the Secret Pavilion."
Guo Hongcai said: "The only purpose of my entry into the Secret Pavilion is to memorize the secret techniques collected by the Secret Pavilion and remember them. Then wait for someone to ask me."
"You are lying!" I said in a deep voice: "If you are only responsible for recording secret techniques, will the people of Emperor Shisu have to suppress you with the maid in red?"
"I didn't lie!" Guo Hongcai said sternly: "That's because some of the clerks of Emperor Shizu have turned into demons, so Emperor Shizu will take strict supervision of all clerks."
I suddenly became interested: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Guo Hongcai said: "The Emperor's History was divided into four layers. Each layer was responsible for raising different secret techniques. For example, the layer where I was called Fange, and could only entrify hundreds of secret techniques."
When I heard this, my eyes suddenly shrank: Fan Pavilion? The people who fought with me in the Sanyan Gate last time called themselves disciples of Fantang? Is there anything wrong with Fan Pavilion?
I asked quietly, "What are the three layers called?"
"Ghost Pavilion, Immortal Pavilion, God Pavilion!" Guo Hongcai said: "There are several clerks in each floor of the secret pavilion and memorize the records. The Emperor Shizhu will not let us read the secret method. Each secret method can only memorize 30% at most. There will never be more."
"Just like me, I have memorized the novella of the blacksmith's secret technique, but I don't know who the two are in the first and second. Only the people of the Emperor Shin-seok know who can find the complete secret technique together."
"The people from the Imperial History Secret Pavilion thought that we would not cause any storm if we could not get all the secret techniques. However, unexpectedly, a stunning and stunning person appeared in the Secret Pavilion. He deduced the complete secret technique just by relying on the broken chapters of the secret techniques. The man finally took action one day and rushed up from the fourth floor of the Secret Pavilion."
"That day, Emperor Shi was bleeding into a river. Many people died without complete corpses."
I could still feel Guo Hongcai's fear through the coffin, but the other party didn't know what I was thinking and continued: "Many of us saw him killing out of the Secret Pavilion. But no one knew whether he rushed out of the Emperor Shizu. I think he probably died in the imperial city? After all, there are many experts in the imperial city!"
Guo Hongcai sighed and said, "After that day, the Secret Pavilion had relaxed our management for a few days. However, just a few days later, we were taken out of the Secret Pavilion and sent here."
"At the beginning, there were about fifteen clerks left in the Pavilion. Only five people were sent here, and those three were missing."
Guo Hongcai smiled bitterly and said, "I know that the missing people will never come back. They are all smart people. Perhaps, they have also deduced some secret techniques, but they have not achieved the invincible posture of that person!"
Guo Hongcai's words were probably just his speculation.
If I were asked to speculate on the whereabouts of the missing clerks, I would feel that those people have been used by the court.
The imperial court built the imperial history secret hall and collected the secret techniques of the world. It would never be as simple as just like an archive, saving them for people to check. The significance of the imperial history secret hall was probably to cultivate a group of sorcerers used by the imperial court.
Guo Hongcai said: "Short after we got here, we found that the people of Emperor Shizu changed to a secret method of preserving the secret. They no longer needed us."
When I heard this, I interrupted the other party and said, "One other way you said is to hide the secret technique in the coffin?"
"That's a failed approach." Guo Hongcai said: "The secret technique cannot be hidden in the coffin. Those coffins are all things that cover up their eyes and ears. In fact, they are all empty inside."
Regarding the coffin, Guo Hongcai's statement is very different from Chen Sanmu, but I think Guo Hongcai is more credible.
Guo Hongcai said: "The only thing that can preserve the secret technique is the Nine Tribulation Eyes they hang on the wall!"
My heart was slightly shocked, but I said calmly on the surface: "What is Jiujie Eye? Where did you get it?"
"I don't know!" Guo Hongcai said: "I have only seen the Nine Tribulation Eyes once. I was beaten by the Emperor Shizi because I looked at it twice more. I don't know the origin of that thing."
I didn't have much hope for Guo Hongcai, so I wouldn't be disappointed if I got this answer. I just calmly told the other party: "You keep talking later."
Guo Hongcai said: "Later, the people of Emperor Shizu brought three more people in. They should be the descendants of the Hundred-Level Sorcerer. Shortly after they came in, Emperor Shizu completely closed the secret pavilion. The three people also drew the funeral maps of the five maids."
What Guo Hongcai said later was exactly the same as what Chen Sanmu told me, including the man in black who broke into the secret room.
I asked in a deep voice: "Old Chen has come in too?"
Guo Hongcai said: "Many years ago, someone broke in again. However, he left before he reached the second floor. Although the man was also a sorcerer, he was no match for the maid in red and could not go down to my level. I heard from the maid in red that the one who broke down was an old man."
"Yeah!" I nodded slightly and said, "I heard that Chen Sanmu had been chased once, what's going on?"
Guo Hongcai said: "You should know that there was a maid in red who escaped from the Secret Pavilion? After they ran away, someone came to the Secret Pavilion. Those people were very interested in Chen Sanmu. They paid a considerable price to arrest Chen Sanmu. Just the masters who died with the maid in red who guarded Chen Sanmu were more than twenty. However, they still let Chen Sanmu run away."
"After searching the Secret Pavilion, those people thought there was nothing worth doing, so they led the team to leave. All I know is this."
Guo Hongcai said: "I am just a clerk who was trapped here by the Emperor Shizi. How could I have any chance to offend the coffin gate?"
