It is said that Lin Daiyu made a bet with the white-bearded monk that if he couldn't get out of Meilin in three months, he would become a nun as his apprentice, and the white-bearded monk agreed. {We don't write novels, we're just internet text porters — he picks up Jarvis and staggers across Merlin like a fat bird and disappears.}

Not long after, the monk came back, but saw Lin Daiyu sitting cross-legged on an old futon frowning and stunned, so he asked, "Girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Daiyu said casually: "I am thinking about which prince to take refuge in after completing my studies." ”

"I didn't start to think about what I learned." The monk snorted, "You don't have to think about it, eighty percent is the king of Yan." ”

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows: "His three sons are mediocre, I may not be able to look down on them." ”

The monk nodded secretly in his heart and said, "He is still in the prime of life, and it will not be a problem to have another one." Don't look at your Lao Tzu who is still sulking at him, he has a deeper friendship with King Yan than the third child. Just give you another one to teach Lao Tzu. ”

Lin Daiyu looked at the monk and asked, "Does Uncle Shi also have a deep friendship with him?" ”

The monk said: "I am a person outside the world, and I only care that this idea in my stomach may be passed on." In terms of friendship, he has some friendship with the first emperor. ”

"But the first emperor was the emperor." Daiyu said, "Don't you care? ”

The monk snorted: "That old man has a deep mind. He pointed to the northwest corner, "There is a courtyard over there, and there is an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the courtyard." There is a table under the pavilion, and there is an object on the table, and King Yan wants it very much. He got it once the year before last and put it back later. ”

"Why put it back?"

The monk said: "He thought that it was safest to still be placed here by the poor monks." ”

Daiyu asked, "Is the duty of the senior uncle to guard that?" ”

The monk sang the Buddha and said, "That has nothing to do with me, it's just that the first emperor left it here." Whoever has the ability to take it can take it, and the poor monk doesn't care. My Merlin doesn't have a wall. ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "It's just that ordinary people can't get in." ”

"Not bad." The monk smiled and said, "You are not convinced, and you are going to walk around?" ”

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "The junior wants to sit first." ”

"Whatever you want." The monk then went out with the walnut.

Lin Daiyu pondered for a while, and Dai Quan Baba'er asked her to say that 'Venerable Manjushri' would not be for no reason. This time it is better not to provoke the old monk to be suspicious. I walked around the rooms a few times, and sure enough, there were four major books of various colors. Because he didn't see the eighteen blades at all, he thought that this old monk only studied the art of leading soldiers, and he didn't care about fighting in front of the battle. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart: if her grandfather had such ability, why were all her uncles mediocre? Not to mention that the second uncle is a literati, the eldest uncle was in the barracks when he was young, and he didn't even learn half of his grandfather's skills? If you want to say that you are not talented, why not be enough to that share.

At lunchtime, someone brought food to the two of them, and Daiyu smiled: "I still think that we should cook by ourselves in Merlin, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't even have a kitchen, how to do it." ”

The white-bearded monk said: "You are the leader of the troops, not the man." You don't have to. ”

Daiyu saw that he was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Shi is so heroic, and my grandfather is also very human, why are my two uncles mediocre?" ”

The monk glanced at her: "Didn't the poor monk say it?" The qualifications are too poor. ”

Daiyu said: "The qualifications are mediocre." ”

The monk said: "Hengzhi is too far away." ”

Daiyu didn't believe it, and said after a while: "I used to think that manpower is limited, and after all, there is only one Leonardo da Vinci." I've also heard a little about my grandfather, and he doesn't seem to be like my uncle and ancestor, who can lead troops and be good at exquisite martial arts. ”

The monk looked at her and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Daiyu said: "The kung fu of the fighting general and the kung fu of the green forest are not all the way. Grandfather is the kind of fighter that is long. Guns and knives fight each other in front of the formation. Uncle Shi's ancestral martial arts are in fine art, as if it is a ......" She pursed her lips.

The monk snorted: "I was really a thief in the green forest in my early years. ”

And so it was. Daiyu blinked and said, "The master who taught Cong'er to practice martial arts is also from the green forest, why didn't Cong'er learn to fly the eaves and walk the wall?" ”

The monk laughed and said, "That kung fu is not only difficult to learn, but also requires great hard work." A young master of the Guogong Mansion is willing to learn two tricks to defend himself, and he still wants to expect him to fly off the wall? ”

“…… It seems to make sense. Daiyu added, "Jarvis, who practiced martial arts with Cong'er, worked very hard, and it seems that he has not yet learned. ”

The monk said, "I have also heard of this son. It's just that he was already quite old when he entered the Rongguo Mansion, and he missed the opportunity. ”

Daiyu was suddenly disappointed: "Then didn't I miss the opportunity too?" ”

The monk laughed: "You still want to learn this?" It's too late. The two of them got along much better.

On the other hand, Jarvis had woken up in the temple and found himself lying in the Maitreya Temple, so he was busy looking for it all over the temple, and after a while, Yang Erbo saw it. When the two of them entered Merlin, Yang Erbo and Shi Liyin didn't dare to follow too closely, and when they looked for it again, they couldn't see anyone, and they couldn't go around Merlin.

The three of them can be regarded as meeting, Jarvis told what happened, Shi Li "oops" and said: "I know a temple and a slope of Merlin, I just think that Yunshen doesn't know where, it turns out that there is really such a temple and a Merlin!" Then he said helplessly, "The first emperor in front of me, Situ Pan's grandfather, a stand-in monk who became a monk in this temple, I only know this." Emperor Taishang and Liu Dengxi have always wanted to find out where this temple is, and the first emperor did not miss any news. ”

Jarvis frowned and said, "Just now we met a eunuch who claimed to be Dai Quan. ”

Shi Li said: "He has served the Empress Dowager for all these years, and according to his ability, it is not difficult to be loyal." What does it look like? Jarvis said slightly, and Shi Li nodded, "It's really him." ”

Jarvis thought for a moment and said, "It's weird. If Emperor Taishang and Liu Dengxi didn't know where the 'one temple' was, it was obvious that Dai Quan didn't know it before. Then he learned from the Queen Mother in the past few years. The events of these two days are mostly due to Situ Pan's fall in love with Lin Junshi's ability, and the white-bearded monk has not been able to find a hearty successor for many years, so Situ Pan used a trick to lure Lin Junshi here. The Empress Dowager is far away in the deep palace, and Dai Quan is serving by her side, how would she know? Pinch the days and points well. ”

Shi Li said: "This 'one temple' has not even been found out by Liu Dengxi for so many years, but I am afraid that only the first emperor and the empress dowager know." Where did Situ Pan find out? "He's blocked both.

After a while, Yang Erbo glanced at them a few times and said, "The Empress Dowager sued him." ”

Shi Li said: "The Empress Dowager is not in the same group as him, and he is not born to the Empress Dowager, what do you do to sue him?" ”

Yang Erbo touched the back of his head: "What benefits is Xu in exchange?" When I was in Taiwan, I heard Cong'er say that the emperor's family was very poor. ”

Shi Li said: "If there is no supply for the family today, it will be really difficult. This verse speaks of the past. Situ Pan's matter was arranged properly, and Dai Quan didn't seem to be here to help, but like he was here to make trouble. Besides, it's not easy to get out of the palace. ”

Jarvis's eyes lit up: "Could it be that there is a secret passage?" ”

"Huh?"

"There is a secret passage in the palace that leads directly to this temple. Dai Quan, Bao Buqi learned something by accident, and came to mention it, or was ordered to mention it. Jarvis said, "There must be few secret passages in the palace." ”

Shi Li nodded and said, "It's a possibility." It's just that Miss Lin is still inside, how can I get in. ”

The three of them discussed for a long time, but they couldn't find a way.

The next day, Lin Daiyufang began to wander around Merlin. Sure enough, the road is strange and the steps are clever, and it is extremely difficult to identify the direction. Thinking about what Dai Quan said, "The dream of Venerable Manjushri pointed out a way for him to live." Manjushri was born on the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month, April is the month of the establishment of the temple, the south-southeast, according to the angle is 30 degrees east-south. She followed in that direction, but she never found a way out, and there were no clues beside her.

In the next few days, Jarvis and others were wandering outside, and Lin Daiyu was wandering inside, but they couldn't help this Merlin. Seeing that the day when Jia's mother would leave Beijing was tomorrow, Lin Daiyu was anxious, and the white-bearded monk became more and more comfortable, and hummed a tune. As soon as he was happy, Daiyu calmed down. She thought, the temple outside is minimalist, and if she can't keep it, she thinks too much, and Dai Quanzhi's hint is not so complicated? She then remembered the temple. When she was young, she studied construction for several years, and when she first went to Taiwan, she was also in charge of this part, and when she thought of something, she stood up and secretly scolded herself for being confused. The layout of the temple outside is exactly the same as the house inside! Venerable Manjushri, doesn't that mean the Manjushri Temple? was about to run away, but suddenly stabilized again, his heart was beating fast, but his face was fine. She pretended to walk around every room. The monk didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The room corresponding to the Manjushri Hall is a study, and there is a table corresponding to the Bodhisattva statue. Lin Daiyu recalled the appearance of the next temple, Wenshu Hall. The Bodhisattva rides a lion, holding a sword in one hand and pointing diagonally to the ground in the other. The hands of ordinary Buddha statues and bodhisattvas often pinch a Dharma seal, and this Manjushri gesture is afraid to refer to something. She closed her eyes and pondered where the Bodhisattva was pointing, and when she looked in the direction, she saw a pattern on a blue brick under the table, which was from the map of Merlin.

didn't care about anything else, Lin Daiyu rolled up her sleeves and went under the table to take a closer look, and couldn't help but smash her brain: her mind was full of gossip about the five elements these days, but she couldn't get out at all. After looking at the map, I realized that this Merlin's road was not arranged according to gossip, but was just a maze - the kind of maze that Jia Meng often scribbled out to draw lines for him when he was a child. There is no regularity, and you can't go out at all except by following the lines drawn on the map. Xiao. The people in the Xiang Pavilion carried charcoal and paper with them, and Daiyu copied the map in her arms, pretended to be casual and retreated, and finished the rest of the house.

Lin Daiyu went to Merlin again, as if she didn't give up. After turning a few corners, I came to a few plum trees, and the sun was still good. She took out her charcoal and map, and set her mind to find her way. Thanks to Jia Meng's blessing, most of the maze diagrams that Jia Cong took to abuse his nephew in recent years were written by Aunt Lin to help draw the answer, and his Aunt Lin was experienced and it didn't take long to draw it. At this point, her heart was beating to her throat. Follow the route on the map and walk cautiously all the way - when you really walked out of Merlin, you saw the big rock where the white-bearded monk had been sitting.

As if she had received amnesty, Lin Daiyu ran quickly towards the temple, and immediately heard a noise, as if Yang Erbo's voice was loud. I rushed over and saw that the old man was messing with a few monks with Jarvis, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

When the three of them met, they were overjoyed. Lin Daiyu knew that the monk in Meilin was still practicing martial arts, and he rushed out for fear that it would be difficult to do it, so he hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, go back first." ”

Jarvis knew that the monk was powerful, and he didn't care about the etiquette, so he hurriedly said, "It's good for you to come out." ”

Yang Erbo said loudly: "You still deny it!" Look at? Didn't they let you hide? ”

Daiyu hurriedly pulled his shirt: "Second Uncle Yang, go back first." ”

Yang Erbo snorted: "Go back and settle the account!" ”

The monks in this temple were shocked and stepped forward to stop each other. It's just that there are few people in this meeting, and they can't stop Yang Erbo. The three of them hurried away as if they were running for their lives.

Shi Li came out of the city gate and said, "There are no pursuers." ”

Yang Erbo smiled: "I'm afraid the chasing soldiers won't have time to keep up." ”

Daiyu said: "Although my uncle is not very reasonable, he doesn't seem to be a rebel. ”

The four of them returned to the Lin Mansion, and Daiyu told them what had happened. Others just left, Shi Li was full of interest and wanted to play, but he was aggrieved for a few days, and in the end it didn't come in handy at all, which was quite unpleasant. Guess what is left in the courtyard in the northwest corner of Merlin, and whether you want to use it for a while. Lin Daiyu has never suffered a big loss in the past few years, and although there is no danger this time, she is also very scared. Yang Erbo fanned the flames again, Jarvis has been holding back more than the two of them in the past few days, and he will not stop the fire. The four of them went back to Merlin that night.

Because the old monk really didn't care about it, and the courtyard was originally an ordinary gossip array, they didn't have much effort to get the box. As soon as he took off the box, he heard the bell ringing loudly, and the entire monk temple was alarmed. Although the four of them came out of Merlin safely, they encountered Situ Pan's army - there were not many monks in this temple, but there were many soldiers and horses.

Relying on the presence of two masters, the four of them fought their way out and fled to the Iron Threshold Temple. Lin Daiyu Jarvis hid in Jia Baoyu's monk's bed first, and waited for the opportunity to sneak out after the searcher left. Shi Li got a chasing armor for Jarvis early, and he changed it to be more convenient. Later, the people who saw Feng Ziying even lifted the lid of Jia Mu's coffin, knowing that the box was not an ordinary thing. If Feng Ziying searched again, Baoyu would not be able to hide on the bed, so Lin Daiyu had to hide between her grandmother's coffin, and after this search, she would pretend to be a subordinate of Rongguo Mansion and sneak out of the hall. Later, Yang Shi and the others led Feng Ziying away, and Jia Lin took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The next day, after Jia Cong learned that Situ Pan was looking for a fist-sized box, he asked Chen Ruijin to rush to find Daiyu to get it. Dai Yuyin saw that the depiction on the box was exactly the same as the big jade shanzi in Jia Yu's house, but there was no human figure. She followed the place where there were people on the top of Yushanzi, and according to the height of the people, she used a silver needle to point the mechanism. First from tall to short, it was not opened; I clicked it again from short to high, and the box opened with a "clatter".

The things in it were useless to her own family, so she stuffed the original things back and handed them to Chen Ruijin. Chen Ruijin took the box and returned to Tieji Temple, Jia Cong stood on the chair and pretended to beckon the subordinates in the hall to come over and give a lecture, until he saw Chen Ruijin put the box under the lid of Jia's mother's coffin.

Daiyu finished talking about this matter in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Cong held his cheeks and asked, "Why didn't Situ Pan come to our house to ask for Yushanzi before?" Could it be that he just found out about this? ”

Daiyu said: "Since he got the box, he must not have known it before. ”

Jia Cong said: "If he doesn't even know - it is obvious that Liu Dengxi doesn't know, otherwise as soon as the first emperor leaves, the emperor will come to our house to ask for Yushanzi, and he will not be able to wait for the funeral of the first emperor." There are probably only two people who know about it - the Empress Dowager and the Uncle Ancestor. I don't know who sued Situ Pan temporarily. ”

"Whatever, it's none of our business." Lin Daiyu said, "It's just that Uncle Shi and his military books?" ”

Jia Cong glanced at her: "Don't think about it!" We don't need it that much. ”

Daiyu also held her cheeks and said, "It's a pity to put it in vain." ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are more good things in the world." We can't catch everything, can we? If you go to learn art from him for ten years, not to mention these things in Taiwan, Uncle Lin must be crazy. Besides, we have now entered the age of firearms. In the era of cold weapons, no matter how good it is, there is a risk of being eliminated. It's not cost-effective to spend so much effort sifting through the essence dross. ”

Daiyu hesitated: "After several days of hard work, I haven't even read a single military book." ”

Jia Cong slapped his palms twice: "It's dawn, I'm waking up~~ No matter how good Uncle Shi's things are, if we don't use them, we don't, we want them!" ”
