The Emperor suddenly muttered, "Looking at this Ding and this pit, I am reminded of a tragedy that happened here many years ago......
The faces of everyone present suddenly changed and became extremely weird.
Zhu Lang said sideways, "Erchen has gone to Longhu Mountain to practice since he was a child, and rarely returns to the capital, but he has also heard that there has been a murder in this Kongtong Temple, and all the pilgrims who come here have all died in one day, and the scene is full of blood, which is extremely tragic." β
The emperor laughed and said, "Yes, although Lang'er is in the mountains, he is also very well-informed. I don't know who told you? β
Zhu Lang smiled back, "Erchen also forgot, maybe I heard someone say it when I went down the mountain." β
The emperor squinted his eyes and stared at him for a long time, only to see that this son had clear eyebrows and an upright face, so he moved his gaze and looked at the Yin Yang Dao Kaozi who was standing below.
"Gate Supervisor, can the next exam questions be found by me?" The emperor asked.
The people below were slightly surprised, although they had known the powerful position of the gate supervisor, but at this moment, they could truly reflect the monstrous power above the ten thousand people under this person. The emperor thought about asking for a fight, but he even had to get the consent of the gate supervisor.
Tang Jiuyue had a smile in her eyes, "The saint is free." β
The emperor's knuckles tapped rhythmically on the armrest, and he commanded the chief eunuch beside him. The chief eunuch understood, and persistently brushed the dust all the way to the edge of the circle. Yuan Yuan listened, and the stiff expression on his face seemed to move. Then he announced to the crowd, "The next exam question isβ"
The crowd waited with bated breath.
Shen Man looked at the water in the pit, at first it was red blood water, but now it has recovered into muddy and yellow muddy water. Jiang Qiudi had been standing beside her, staring at her side face.
"Find out the truth about the tragedy of Kongtong Temple!" Yuanyuan said in a loud voice.
At the end of the sentence, there was silence all around.
Zhu Kui, the eldest prince who had been silent, interjected at this moment, "Father, this is a case a few years ago, and it was an unsolved case at that time. β
The emperor was a little displeased, "Although they are young, they all have unique skills, and they are candidates to be selected for the Taige in the future." I'm also curious if they can find out the truth. If you can really find it, it will be a great achievement; If not, they can also show their talents. Quill, don't you say? β
Zhu Kui could only say, "Obey the holy decree." He looked over there, only to be blocked by Zhu Lang and then by Decheng, and the masked man sat in that place majestically, as if he were just a spectator.
Zhu Kui could only vaguely see the corner of the mask through the gap, and her facial expression was completely covered behind the mask, and there was no joy or sorrow.
Zhu Lang noticed the sight here, and stretched his neck curiously to look, and after seeing Zhu Kui peeping at the gate prison, he showed an ambiguous smile, and then waved his hand at Zhu Kui. Zhu Kui came back to his senses and saw him, and was stunned, Zhu Lang showed a big smile again, and then pulled Princess Decheng back to the back of the chair.
Decheng was stunned, looked here and there, understood Zhu Lang's intentions, and followed him to lean.
"Brother Emperor hasn't changed after so many years." Zhu Lang smiled, looking ahead with a slightly gloomy look.
Decheng said, "Have you changed over the years?" β
Zhu Lang was stunned and said modestly, "I have been in the mountains for the past few years, and if you want to talk about changes, the most is that I don't eat meat, I only eat vegetarian." β
"Longhu Mountain is not a temple, why can you only be vegetarian?" Decheng raised his eyebrows, indicating puzzlement. She was so cute that Zhu Lang couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tip of her nose, "Not because of the precepts, but because of ...... The place I went to was so poor that I couldn't afford to buy meat. β
"What's so difficult about this, I'll send someone to send it to you." Decheng's eyes lit up.
Zhu Lang smiled awkwardly, "I understand your kindness, and I'm used to being a vegetarian." He couldn't help but float towards that end through Decheng's sight, and after a long time, he didn't know how the person under the mask had changed.
Decheng frowned, suddenly pressed Tang Jiuyue's hand, and then grabbed one of her fingers. Tang Jiuyue was stunned, turned her head and looked at Decheng strangely. Decheng smiled slyly, gritted his teeth and used all his strength to break Tang Jiuyue's finger, trying to either break a bone or crack a bone.
Tang Jiuyue raised her hand strangely, and deftly crossed her fingers and asked Decheng, "Excuse me, princess, do you want to break my fingers to this positionβor this position?" The finger that was broken by Decheng tilted at a surprising angle in the direction of the back of his hand. Decheng was frightened and covered his mouth.
Tang Jiuyue still had to inch in, and continued to break without reason, until her fingertips touched the back of her hand, and she said, "I'm sorry princess, it seems that I can only bend to this extent." β
Decheng was shocked for a while, then coughed lightly and said, "It turns out that you are nothing more than that." β
Zhu Lang next to him couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha...... Don't you know that the bones of the gatekeeper are the softest in the world? β
Decheng snorted coldly, "It seems that you know it very well." β
Zhu Lang touched his nose, "When I was practicing in Longhu Mountain, my master told me." β
Several princes and princesses here are still making trouble, but the Yin and Yang Dao examinees on the other end are at a loss. They were embarrassed to investigate an unsolved case a few years ago, when the imperial court had sent officials from the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Kyoto Yamen to investigate, and finally handed it over to Taige. At that time, Taige was still in charge of Zou Yan, and Zou Yan's investigation was fruitless, so he could only temporarily close this place to prevent unclean things from coming out.
Later, only one monk lived in Kongtong Temple, and there were no monks or pilgrims, and it became an abandoned temple from then on.
But people who live at the foot of the mountain often say that they will hear the inexplicable sound of ghosts crying in the temple; Even the soldiers stationed in the palace at the foot of the mountain often saw a few black shadows passing over their heads from time to time.
Now I don't know where the emperor's interest suddenly came from, he suddenly went to Kongtong Temple, and suddenly gave an order for everyone to investigate the truth of the year.
Shen Man grabbed Wu Niannian and just persuaded her that they could investigate the case together, but in a blink of an eye, they saw Jiang Qiudi coming with a cold face. The young man is handsome, but he has a cold expression that has not changed for thousands of years.
"I'm joining." Jiang Qiudi stood between the two of them, and the three of them formed a small circle.
Shen Man and Wu Niannian looked at each other in astonishment.
Jiang Qiudi's gaze swept over their faces, and she said word by word, "What she just said is right, this mysterious case cannot be found by relying on the strength of one person, and only by gathering our strength and showing our strengths can it be possible to find out some clues." I'll read minds, you'll mirror edges, and you-"
He looked at Shen Man fixedly, his thin lips opened one by one, "I don't know what you will do, but I know that you are very strong." β
Shen Man heard the point, "Mirror prism? What's that, you'll mirror the prism? β
A trace of panic flashed across Wu Niannian's face, and he hid behind Shen Man, poked out a head to look, and pulled Shen Man's right shoulder with his hand, "What does he rely on to read minds, look at my head?" Body? Or is one finger enough? Can you read minds in the air? β
Shen Man broke her fingers one by one, "I don't know, but if he wants to read your heart, how long can you hide behind my back?" β
Jiang Qiudi's brown pupils contracted slightly, and he hugged his hands and said coldly, "She did the right thing, because I can't see through you." 166 Reading Network
