Chapter 20: Jade Guanyin
Jiang Moyan had dinner and handed over the task of guarding the house to Xiao Ye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Ye has experienced a lot, and she has lost her previous worries and fears, and told Miss to be careful.
Jiang Moyan felt happy in his heart, put on a short night suit, tied his hair on the top of his head like a man, and took his flying claw short blade and went out.
With the experience of walking at night several times, Jiang Moyan already has a general understanding of the topography of the capital. Especially the road to Cui's Mansion, she walked through it during the day, and she already knew it in her heart.
Seeing the vermilion lacquer gate in front of him, Jiang Moyan stopped. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he turned over a house next to him with the help of flying claws, and walked a narrow alley to the outside of the side wall of Cui's house.
She remembered that this was the outer wall of the Cui family's garden, over the wall, and then through a meadow, she could see a Moon Pavilion, and then all the way west, it was the Chunhui Courtyard where the old lady of the Cui family lived, and the courtyard was close to the back garden was the old lady's Buddhist hall.
She remembered that Miss Cui Er once said that her grandmother loved to play with flowers and plants, and she also liked to go for a walk in the garden, so she moved to Chunhui Courtyard, which is the closest to the garden.
Jiang Moyan easily walked through the garden and climbed up to the ridge of Chunhui Courtyard. When I looked down, it was pitch black and silent below, except for the constant sound of insects.
Jiang Moyan jumped off the ridge of the house and quietly landed in the courtyard. Skirting the low vegetation, the river that extends from the garden converges into a small lake, where a few lotus plants are budding and swaying gently in the shadow of the moon.
Passing by the lake, following the stone-paved path, you came to a house. It was supposed to be a small kitchen, and a girl with a fire was sitting by the stove napping, and the porridge on the stove had overflowed, and the porridge water was spraying onto the fire, muffling all the sounds outside.
Jiang Moyan bypassed the kitchen and saw an angry wind lamp lit under the porch not far in front of him, and the two mothers-in-law who were keeping vigil were chatting in a low voice, and one of them looked resentful.
After a while, a bewitching maid came out of it and said to the two mothers-in-law: "You go to the Buddha hall and tell the princess that she will put incense on the Bodhisattva again, and the old lady is sleeping a little unsteadily, so let her bring the Buddhist scripture that she offered to the old lady to press the bed."
The two mothers-in-law said yes and left with lanterns. Jiang Moyan smiled secretly in his heart, followed the two mothers-in-law, and successfully found the Buddha Hall.
The Cui family's Buddhist hall is really magnificent. It's just that the son is doing evil outside, and the old lady is practicing at home, this house of accumulating good and accumulating evil, I really don't know how those gods and Buddhas will judge the Cui family for this foolish account.
Jiang Moyan saw the two mothers-in-law go in and waited outside for a while. After a while, the two of them came out with a mother-in-law again, holding something in their hands, which should be the Buddhist scriptures that the old lady wanted.
Jiang Moyan waited for them to go away before quietly entering the Buddhist hall. There is a large Buddha shrine in it, which enshrines a jade Guanyin, sitting on a large gold lotus platform.
Jiang Moyan stepped forward and carefully examined this Jade Guanyin. I saw that Guanyin was white and delicate, pure in jade color, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, sitting on a high platform, holding a jade bottle in one hand, and pinching the trick in the other hand to point to the sky.
Jiang Moyan wanted to take off the jade Guanyin to take a closer look, but found that the statue of Guanyin, which was more than 20 centimeters, could not be taken off. Looking at it again, it turned out that the Guanyin was actually inlaid on the golden lotus platform below.
The lotus platform was very stable, and Jiang Moyan used his arms to steadily lift the jade Guanyin down. Jiang Moyan opened the base and took a closer look, and groped the entire Buddha body carefully, that is, there was no mechanism or hidden card. Just as he was hesitating, the door outside "creaked" and someone came in. Jiang Moyan hurriedly lifted the Buddha statue and put it in its place, and the person instantly jumped on the top beam and hid in the dark.
The princess was called up in the middle of the night to deliver the scriptures, and she was angry, and her mouth was a little unclean, and she scolded and went back to the east side room to sleep.
When the lights went out and there was a faint snoring sound, Jiang Moyan jumped back to the ground and groped his way to the side of the Buddhist shrine.
She hurriedly put back the Jade Guanyin just now, and before the position was corrected, the woman came in. Just because Mrs. Wang didn't guard against anyone, she didn't look carefully, so she went back to sleep. Jiang Moyan moved the jade Guanyin again at this time, only to find that the jade Guanyin was not very strong on the lotus platform.
Jiang Moyan had an idea, and then took a closer look at the ever-bright candle flame in the Buddhist shrine, only to find that on the lotus platform at the back of the Guanyin statue, there was a lotus petal with a pattern that was somewhat different from others, just because it was well decorated, it was not easy to be found.
Jiang Moyan fiddled with the petals, and the Guanyin statue was gently lifted, revealing a delicate box.
Jiang Moyan read it carefully, and his heart was settled. He put the things back in place and fiddled with the petals again, and then the jade statue was placed.
Jiang Moyan left the main hall, hid outside the window on the east side and listened carefully, and saw that the mother-in-law was snoring as usual, so he left the Buddhist hall.
Jiang Moyan looked at the sky, and estimated that it was only eleven or twelve o'clock now, it was still early to go back, so it was better to go and see what Cui Youdao was busy with, and by the way, I also wanted to try how the guard ability of this Cui Mansion was. After thinking about it, he flicked his claws, jumped on the ridge in front of him, jumped a few times, and came to the front yard. Jiang Moyan followed the light all the way over, and sure enough, he saw Cui Youdao's figure appear in front of the window.
The figures in the room swayed, and sometimes the sound of Cui Youdao cursing came out. Jiang Moyan despised this villain who did not cultivate morality in his heart, such a scum, he could actually mix in officialdom for so many years!
Soon, two black-clothed masked men came out of Cui Youdao's study, one jumped out of the distance. Jiang Moyan saw a master of light gong for the first time, it turned out that there really existed in this world, although this was really unscientific, she had to accept it. In a hurry, he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.
Someone over there had already asked, "Who is it?" The other guard was reminded and noticed an abnormality, and the two slowly leaned over to this side.
Jiang Moyan was shocked, thinking about how to avoid it without alarming people. Looking at her flying claws, and then thinking about those two light masters, she was forced to find that she might be exposed. At that moment, there was a sudden sound of leaves shaking from the trees at the top of the wall on the left. The two quickly changed direction and headed for the wall to the left.
Jiang Moyan's heart was relieved and he was about to run. I didn't want to suddenly reach out a hand from behind, quickly grabbed her by the back of the neck, lifted her up and left. Jiang Moyan was frightened. Since she became a soldier, she has not been easily approached without being noticed. She quickly turned around, not wanting to be easily caught by the other party again, her mouth was still clasped by a big hand, and her body was also caught and flying.
Jiang Moyan's heart was beating wildly, he had just been hit by the reality of light power a moment ago, and now he had experienced it himself. Jiang Moyan only felt that the wind was whirring in her ears, her body was suspended in the air, and she could only cling to the person behind her, and just when her blood pressure soared to 180, her body paused, and then leaped up again.
