But it was said that Jia Cong found Chen Ruijin from the cellar of the Yuanchen Hall of Qingyang Palace and hugged him for a long time, because he heard the sound of iron chains, he looked down and saw that Chen Ruijin's ankles were surrounded by iron buckles, and his heart was like a needle prick, and he asked softly: "Are you hurt?" ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "It's fine. It's just that the lock can't be opened. ”

Jia Cong looked back at the Taoist priest who led him, and the Taoist priest hurriedly said, "It was the Taoist brother who sent this girl who locked it, and he took the key away." ”

"It's so far away from that evil way!" Jia Cong clenched his fist and pulled out a dagger from his boot. This thing was found by Jia Yu when he was carrying the large treasury of Rongguo Mansion in the early years, and it was said to be a rare treasure blade, which was used by their ancestor Jia Yuan. Because Jia Cong often ran around outside, he gave it to him. Although the dagger was good, it only made a rough cut after a long time.

Jia Cong thought for a while and asked the Taoist priest, "Do you have alum oil in your view?" ”

"Yes." The Taoist priest said, "In the place of the ancestor." He looked at Chen Ruijin with complicated eyes.

Chen Ruijin stood up and bowed to him deeply: "Thank you, Daoist." The chains on his feet clanged.

Jia Cong didn't know what Chen Ruijin coaxed others, but said: "Your master and ancestor are not in harmony with Zhenyuan, after all, he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart, and he looks like a fairy wind and bones." I'll check that later. Master Qiu has solved countless cases, and if he is innocent, he will naturally return his innocence. ”

The Taoist priest recited "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable". The horizontal and vertical cellars have brought people here, and it doesn't hurt to have one more and one less. Then he led Jia Cong to a small courtyard for alchemy at the back, and found a big urn with a grimace. Jia Cong ordered the object to be moved to the cellar and said to the Taoist priest, "You go back first, pretend not to say anything." The Taoist priest answered and left.

Jia Cong then ordered the soldiers to light more candles, fetch a large bucket of water, and took a blue and white sea bowl, carefully scooped out the green alum oil from the big man with a porcelain spoon, and filled most of the bowl. He grabbed Chen Ruijin's left ankle and dipped the iron lock sticking out of the iron buckle into the sea bowl, which immediately began to gurgle and bubble. Alum oil is dilute sulfuric acid, which will begin to corrode when exposed to metal.

Chen Ruijin said: "Will it take too much effort? ”

"It won't take long." Jia Cong concentrated on holding the thing for a long time, took out the iron lock and carefully erected it on the ground, and let Chen Ruijin grasp the iron buckle on his ankle. He took the revolver out of his bosom. The gun came, and it was shot straight down at the keyhole with a "bang" from above. The bullet got stuck in it and never came out, and there was a slight crack in the lock. Jia Cong then soaked the iron lock in alum oil again and did it again. In this way, there are four, and the iron lock is "boomed" open. Jia Cong boasted: "Knowledge is power!" Chen Ruijin glanced at him with a smile.

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that a circle of red marks had been buckled on the white ankle, and he couldn't help but gently reach out and rub it for a while. Chen Ruijin is still sitting against the wall, hanging his head slightly, as quiet as a quiet orchid. Jia Cong's heart jumped, and he hugged the girl again.

The two of them got together in one ear and sideburns and grinded for half a cup of tea, and Chen Ruijin pushed him: "There is another one." Jia Cong nodded again and again, and then did the same, and opened the iron lock on her right foot. He first diluted the remaining alum oil in the bowl in the bucket and poured it back, and then ordered the soldiers to take the urn and put it back in its place.

Chen Ruijin asked, "What do you want to do when you put it back?" ”

Jia Cong said: "That Taoist leader helped us, but there is a rebel teacher, I'm afraid the reputation is not good." If he doesn't mind, he'll talk about it later. What if people mind? It's better to keep quiet or not to be quiet. ”

Chen Ruijin nodded: "That's right." Let's get out. ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong got up and took her hand, picked up the lantern and walked outside, and said to the soldiers who followed, "Put the lid back on and smash it." ”

The soldiers were stunned: "Cover back?" ”

"Cover it back first, and then you can rest and gossip, and then smash it."

"Yes."

The two of them went out of the temple side by side. Coincidentally, a full moon hangs in the sky in the west, round and bright. Chen Ruijin sighed: "Today is exactly fifteen. ”

Jia Cong said: "To put it mildly, it is called the two rounds of the human moon, I would rather find you yesterday when it was not so round." ”

Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "The most beautiful thing is you." ”

Jia Cong said twice: "I'm really." Do you want to go back first? ”

"I see the sun is coming out." Chen Ruijin looked to the east, "Let's watch the sunrise." ”

"Okay."

The two of them then quietly stopped talking. After a long time, there was a clanging sound in the hall behind him, which was not very pleasant, but it was very pleasant. It didn't take long for a series of "bangs" and the stone lid on the cellar shattered.

It would be quiet in the middle of the night, and Qiu Liangzheng was pretending to be interrogating a Taoist priest. Hearing the noise behind him, he stood up and asked, "But what did you find?" So he sent one of his soldiers to see.

After a while, the soldier came running back and shouted, "My lord! Got it! The girl has found it! In a cellar! ”

Qiu Liang laughed twice and drank: "Take them all!" Nai walked to the front of the Yuanchen Palace, and saw the two of them sitting on the stone steps.

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Hello Lord Qiu! ”

Qiu Liang smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Mr. Jia!" ”

"I owe you a favor." Jia Cong said, "We're looking at the moon." ”

Qiu Liang looked up at the moon: "The sun is coming out." ”

"Hmm. Watch the sunrise and see the moon by the way. ”

"The lower officials won't bother." Qiu Liang then led the soldiers to get busy.

Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin sat in front of the treasure hall of Doumu Yuanjun, watching the full moon fall in the west, and the early sun revealed a glimmer of light from the sky. There were clouds all around, and there were red, gold, purple, and blue colors. Before I knew it, the clouds gradually faded away, leaving only a golden one. Suddenly, a sharp light shot out, and a little dazzling color jumped out of the east, and it was already white instead of gold. Jia Cong said softly: "You are like this sun." At first it was just a glimmer of pips, then it got brighter and brighter; When it really comes out, it's unique. Chen Ruijin looked up at the sunrise and leaned lightly on Jia Cong's shoulder.

The sun is out. The two of them sat for a few more moments before standing up, and all the soldiers were busy with their own business, laughing twice as they passed by. Chen Ruijin's face turned crimson, and Jia Cong pulled her to Qiu Liang to say goodbye to Qiu Liang like no one else, and went back to her residence to rest.

Jia Cong didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and when he woke up, the sky was bright. I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, but it was just an hour. Nai cleaned up his meeting and ran out, and those people were all eating tea in the courtyard. Jia Yu looked at him and said, "I've slept all day." Jia Cong touched the back of his head, saw that Chen Ruijin's face was as usual, and his heart was settled, and he sat down directly to drink tea and eat snacks on the side of her, and asked her how the two days were.

It turned out that a thief came to visit him on the night of the accident, and Chen Ruijin saw that his skills were not mediocre, so he chased him out. She didn't want an old Taoist priest waiting outside, and after only one move, she knew that she was not an opponent. The old Taoist priest's hands and feet were too fast, one wall forced her to fight farther and farther, and the other wall was so fast that she even took out her hand. The gun couldn't be pulled out, and finally let the family hold it.

The old Taoist priest then took a rope to tie her up and asked, "Are you Chen Siniang?" ”

Chen Ruijin immediately knew that he had something to do with the true Ming Daoist of Nanchang Tianning Temple, and said strangely: "I have never left a name everywhere, how can the immortal chief know about it?" ”

"Sure enough, I followed Jia Cong." The old Taoist priest said, "Good life and calm." ”

Although Chen Ruijin was tied with his hands, he still bowed down and said, "Dare to ask the fairy chief, what is the matter with catching the little girl?" ”

The old Taoist priest said: "There is a reason. He looked at her again and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

"It's just a dart master."

The old Taoist priest sneered and said, "The stunning female dart master happened to meet Jia Cong. ”

Chen Ruijin then pretended that he had learned martial arts with a South China Sea god and went home after learning. Not long after, Lin Hai Jia Cong let the water bandits kidnap him; After Jia Cong coaxed the two of them out, he said that he wanted to find two reliable dart masters. Her brother knew about this, and he recommended himself through the hands of others.

The old Taoist priest looked at her for a long time: "Are you from Wu Guo?" ”

"I'm from the capital, and I followed my brother to the country of Wu."

"I don't look like you're from Wu Guoren." The old Taoist priest said, "Your brother is a person from King Wu?" ”

Chen Ruijin hesitated for a moment, because the old Taoist priest's eyes were like torches, she flinched, lowered her head and said, "My brother's name is Chen Ruiwen." ”

The old Taoist priest was shocked, pointed at her and said, "Isn't it the eldest grandson of Qi Guofu?" Are you Chen Yi's granddaughter? ”

Chen Ruijin was pleasantly surprised: "Immortal Chief knows my grandfather?!" ”

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but look at her a few more times: "Your grandfather is willing to let his granddaughter practice martial arts!" I underestimated him. Then he stood and thought for a while. Judging by his expression, Chen Ruijin knew what he had changed.

The old Taoist priest suddenly picked her up and flew all the way to the Qingyang Palace, without even entering the door, and entered the Yuanchen Hall from outside the wall. Chen Ruijin has an excellent memory, because he has been to Qingyang Palace, he recognized it at that time. She knew that if there was a secret plan in such a great way, no one would know about it, so she pretended to be at a loss for her soul. The Taoist priest who guarded the candle came forward to make a joke, and secretly glanced at Chen Ruijin, with a puzzled face. Nai led the two of them to lift the lid of the cellar, and the old Taoist priest ordered Chen Ruijin to go in. Chen Ruijin walked in stiffly like a wooden man, and the Taoist priest guarding the candle became more and more suspicious.

The old Taoist priest locked Chen Ruijin in the cellar and said, "Since you are a girl of Chen Yi's family, you can only stay in peace and see if there is anything to be done in the future." Chen Ruijin stood blankly. The old Taoist priest left.

The next day, the Taoist priest guarding the Yuanchen Hall came to bring her water and food, Chen Ruijin had already returned to his soul, and asked with tears and panic: "Can I still see my father?" The Taoist priest put down the food basket and said nothing, his eyes becoming more and more suspicious.

Another day, when it was time to deliver food in the evening, the Taoist priest who guarded the temple asked her, "Who are you?" ”

Chen Ruijin hurriedly wept and said: "I am the daughter of a good family, I originally slept well in the house, but somehow I got here." Is this the place to take pictures? ”

A trace of anger flashed on the Taoist priest's face, and he said, "Don't worry, girl, someone is looking for a girl outside." ”

Chen Ruijin grabbed his sleeve: "Is my father looking for me?" Dao Chief, would you like to send a letter to my father? ”

The Taoist priest sang "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" and said, "Poor Dao has made an oath not to leak half a word." ”

Chen Ruijin thought for a while and said, "That'...... Can the Taoist help me send a painting back? The Taoist priest shook his head. Chen Ruijin pleaded, "I'm gone; Others are still there, and my grandmother is afraid that she will die in a hurry. She was eighty-six years old. The Taoist priest still shook his head. Chen Ruijin then drew a sketch on the ground with his fingers, which was the mask that Jia Cong painted on that day and dug up from the left side of Qingyang Palace. "This is what I scribbled on when I was a kid. The Taoist chief was sent to my house according to this appearance, and my father and mother knew that I was still alive when they saw it. Don't worry too much or make something happen. ”

When the Taoist priest saw it, it was really like a child's graffiti, and he believed most of it in his heart. Chen Ruijin's eyes were slightly red, tears did not fall, and Baba looked at him. The Taoist priest relented, secretly wrote down the graffiti, drew it himself, and found a little beggar while it was dark, and asked him to send it to the small courtyard where Jia Cong and others lived according to the address.

Jia Cong let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "It's good luck to meet this Dao Chief." Nai asked Jia Xuan, "Zhenming Zhenyuan, what is going on with these two old Taoist priests, does the fifth uncle know?" ”

Jia Yu said: "I don't know at all. ”

"Where is Jo Liang?"

Jia Yu said: "Yesterday, a letter came that the host of Qingyang Palace had made a move. Guess what Zhenyuan has in his hands? ”

"Where can I guess?"

Jia Yu smiled and said: "The gold medal, the gold medal of the first emperor, is like me coming in person." ”

"Cut, it's really the first emperor's people." The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched, "Eighty percent of the people who wrote to him are the old monks of a monk, don't worry about me." ”

"I don't know how many people are veterans. Zhenyuan took the gold medal and went to him, saying that he would use the cellar of the Yuanchen Hall to temporarily lock up a key criminal, which was very important and extremely mysterious. And the key to the iron lock in the cellar is not in charge of the old way, but it is in the hands of Zhenyuan. Jia Yu said, "The host only knows how to open the cellar." ”

Jia Cong threw a piece of peach cake into his mouth and asked, "That night, he was still dead and refused to speak, why did he suddenly recruit him?" ”

Jia Yu smiled: "Everyone has found it, but I can't deny it." Besides, the crime you charged Zhenyuan with being a human trafficker, and the notices all over the street were still posted by the officials, and one of them was posted opposite Qingyang Palace. He didn't know Zhenyuan, he didn't know who he was. Seeing the appearance of Lord Qiu's notice, it was inevitable that he would be suspicious. There are also Taoist priests who are angry all over the city because of Zhenyuan. The crowd chuckled. And Chen Yatou also pretended to lose her soul that day, which really seemed to be a bit like a fan of the flowers. The host didn't say anything, and secretly wondered if Zhenyuan had tied up a girl from a serious family. ”

Jia Cong said: "It can be seen that these monks still have a conscience after all, and they will not blindly believe in authority without distinguishing between good and evil. How far is it? ”

"There is no trace yet."

"It's okay, let him fall into the ocean of the people's war." Jia Cong squeezed his eyes, "Where there are people, there is a family, and where there is a family, there are children." Who isn't afraid of taking pictures of flowers? Then he asked, "What about the Taoist priest who helped us?" ”

Jia Yu said: "According to what he said, he didn't say anything, Chen Yatou was found by you and Qiu Liang themselves." ”

Jia Cong said: "With such a big stone cover, he lifted it without much effort. Later, when I put it back, three soldiers carried it. I also want to hook up with him as a military general. ”

Jia Yu said: "In this case, I will check on this person." I think he was specially placed to guard the Yuanchen Palace. He glanced at Jia Cong again, "Don't eat so many oil and fire dim sum, drink some porridge seriously." ”

"Oh~~" Jia Cong responded. I slept a lot, my head was a little dizzy, and I simply started doing eye exercises.

Then I heard the soldiers outside the door say back and forth: "There is a porter outside who asks to see Mr. Jia, saying that he knows the location of the true Taoist. ”

Jia Cong put down his hand and blinked: "Why didn't you come to Qiu Liang?" ”
