Chapter 26 Niu Kelian's Another Identity

The timid Shen Lang was frightened again.

After seeing Niu Kelian's sudden action, he looked nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.

He closed his hands together and kept bowing to the four directions of southeast, west and north, and began to speak indifferently as he panickedly moved.

"I just said that this place is not clean, from Brother Chuan to Yihe, Niu Kelian is crazy now, the Three Pure Ones are blessed by Buddha... There are no taboos and no taboos..."

Seeing Shen Lang's appearance, I also supported his trembling body with amusement and laughed and cried, glared at him angrily, but could not make any accusations against him.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he came here because of me. How could I bear to blame him?

With Yihe's past lessons, we did not rashly ask Niu Kelian, but looked at his actions and waited for him to finish the worship before asking.

I saw Niu Kelian kneeling in front of the statue, with a humble but full of excitement. The ritual he performed was the most solemn ceremony of three bows and nine bows.

We have just said that the so-called three kowtows and nine bows refer to the great ceremony of visiting emperors or worshiping ancestors in ancient times.

Yihe bowed three times and nine times to Houtu’s statue because Houtu had the grace of recreation for him. No matter how important the etiquette was, it was not an exaggeration for this grace of recreation.

What about Niu Kelian, why is he like this?

We have discovered the statue of God for a long time, but he has no reaction. It was not until Yihe and Shen Lang opened the statue that he saw the dragon couch in the statue that his expression changed drastically.

To be precise, he should have been so excited after seeing the two words on the tent of the silk and Luobao in the dragon couch.

Therefore, what Niu Kelian is worshiping now is not this Houtu statue, but the dragon couch hidden in the Houtu statue.

Flowers must be set off overnight, don't wait for the morning breeze to blow.

What mystery is hidden in these two sentences on the Lingluobao tent?

Under the gaze of us, Niu Kelian finally ended the long three-kow and nine-worship ceremony. After getting up, he saw our puzzled eyes slowly opening. He did not explain his behavior, but instead completed the words left on the dragon couch for us.

"In the Ming Dynasty,

Immediately to the spring,

Flowers must be released overnight,

Don't wait for the morning breeze to blow."

After hearing this, I felt very familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it, so I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ke Lian, what are you talking about? Why do I feel so familiar?"

Niu Kelian did not answer, but stared at the dragon couch in front of him, his eyes full of awe.

After hearing what Niu Kelian said, Xue Nan felt enlightened and looked at us with certain words.

"If I remember correctly, this poem is "The Imperial Examination of the La Day" written by Wu Zetian. It is rumored that Wu Zetian borrowed spring to appreciate flowers. None of the flowers dared not to follow the edict. The source is because of this poem."

Niu Kelian nodded slightly, indicating that what Xue Nan guessed was correct.

When Shen Lang saw that Niu Kelian was back to normal, he felt a little more relaxed. After hearing what Xue Nan said, he couldn't help but start teasing.

"Sister Nan, I didn't see it. I always thought that there was no difference between us and we didn't expect you to have such skills."

"I'm a woman after all."

Xue Nan was not angry when he heard Shen Lang's teasing, and continued to say with a faint smile.

"As the Empress of the Eternal Eternal, I was naturally curious about her. This is not a secret, but everyone just ignored it for a while."

Shen Lang's expression collapsed, and he looked at Xue Nan with a frustration and said in a low voice.

"Sister Nan, you obviously look down on me. Even if it is not a secret, I don't know what story you are talking about..."

Xue Nan sighed, looked at Shen Lang helplessly, and began to explain what the so-called "borrowing spring flowers" means.

According to unofficial historical records, in the twelfth month of the second year of Tianshu, Wu Zetian had already become the emperor at that time, but she was a woman after all, so some ministers intended to rebel. These ministers pretended to say that flowers were in full bloom and asked Wu Zetian to visit Shenduyuan to enjoy the flowers.

Although Wu Zetian noticed something was wrong, her status was noble. If she refused, she would inevitably lose her status and become accustomed to the public. So she took the plan and wrote this magnificent poem to urge flowers, which is the poem "The Imperial Examination of the La Day" to Shangyuan.

When I visited Shangyuan in the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the flowers must be set off overnight, and don’t wait for the morning breeze to blow.

After the poem was written, Wu Zetian used this poem as an edict and sent envoys to Shenduyuan to burn the edict to inform the god of flowers to order the flowers to bloom on a walnut day.

Although Wu Zetian was a woman, she was a real emperor's destiny. Although it was winter at that time, under her edict, no one dared to refuse to obey. In the early morning of the walnut day, precious flower species were placed in Shenduyuan, and the colorful flowers were magnificent in winter.

After Wu Zetian came to Shenduyuan with his ill-hearted ministers, they saw the spectacular scene of flowers blooming in Shenduyuan. The ministers were shocked and impressed by it. The rebellion was self-defeating.

After hearing this, Shen Lang was amazed and couldn't help but sigh at Wu Zetian's intelligence and strength in the story. Whether it was using tricks or using spring to enjoy flowers, this was not something that an ordinary person could do within the scope of an ordinary person.

After hearing Xue Nan's detailed explanation of the story of enjoying flowers through spring, Niu Kelian finally stopped silent.

He turned around and looked at us quietly, saying something amazing.

"The leader, in fact, my family should not have the surname Niu."

After hearing this, Ling Xuan quickly took a step forward. He was afraid that Niu Kelian would be our enemy, so he asked loudly with Frost Sky in his hand.

"If you don't have a surname, Niu? Then what's your surname?"

Niu Kelian shook his head, signaling Ling Xuan not to be so excited, and slowly spoke out his true surname.

"It's true that I am a clan guarding the tomb, but this clan should have a surname of Wu!"

Should Niu Kelian's lineage be named Wu?

Could it be that this martial arts is Wu Zetian’s martial arts?

Seeing our guessing eyes, Niu Kelian spoke in a lonely way.

"My lineage should have a surname of Wu. This Wu is the Wu of Wu Zhou, and his ancestor is Wu Yuanqing, the eldest brother of Wu Empress Wu!"

A descendant of Wu Yuanqing?

Wu Yuanqing was Wu Zetian's half-brother, the father of King Wu Sansi, Liang. He was appointed as the Minister of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and later posthumously named him King Xian of Liang.

Legend has it that after Wu Zetian was enthroned as queen, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang treated her biological mother Yang very poorly, so Wu Zetian took the opportunity to retaliate and demoted her to the governor of Longzhou, and died of illness as soon as he took office.

In addition, there are no more records in the history books of Wu Yuanqing.

"The leader, the ancestors have a deep affection with Empress Wu, and the ancestors were originally kind-hearted people, so how could they intentionally make things difficult for Empress Wu's mother?"

Seeing my puzzled eyes, Niu Kelian knew what I had thought of, shook his head again and explained to me.

"The reason why there is a saying that he was demoted was actually the news that Empress Wu deliberately released was to conceal the true whereabouts of his ancestors!"
