Chapter 297
Chen Jia was drafting the New Deal plan in the study, and suddenly heard a slight sigh.
"Who?" Chen Jia panicked for no reason.
"Master."
At this moment, Liuyun suddenly pushed the door in. "Liuyun forgot an important thing."
"Oh?" Chen Jia closed the fold in his hand, suddenly thought of the sigh just now, and decided to pretend to think it was the sound of Liuyun and go out for a walk first. "You're just in time, I'm just thinking about going out for a walk, come with me!"
"Yes, master." Liuyun didn't know it, and followed Chen Jia out.
In the study, the shadow also breathed a sigh of relief, just now he sighed involuntarily and was almost discovered by Chen Jia, he was also so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, seeing Chen Jia go out, he quietly walked to the desk and opened Chen Jia's fold to look at it.
Sure enough, it was a new deal, and he was writing about how to improve various supporting facilities, and the shadow looked at it, and secretly sighed in his heart that although Chen Jia was a woman, she didn't let her eyebrows, and then thought about his current master, Lin Mufeng, he suddenly put down his fold and sneaked out quietly.
Chen Jia and Liuyun walked around the Biliu Lake outside the castle, Chen Jia's eyes were always staring at the movement of the castle, what Liuyun said, she actually didn't listen to a word, suddenly, she saw a black shadow flash out of the castle, flashing by.
It turned out that there was really a master in his castle.
I remember that I often heard that people with perfect skills will have better hearing and vision, but Chen Jia has never felt it, Chen Jia often wonders, is his qualification too mediocre, or in his previous life, he often ignored the things outside the window, why can't he sense the things that the old monster can sense? I can sense it today. I had to ask the man to let his guard down, and the ghost made the god sigh.
"Liuyun, there are people in my ancient castle who dare to sneak in. Could it be that the formation is useless? Chen Jia asked Liuyun.
"Master, the formation has always been activated, I don't know if someone is also proficient in the formation? Eh, did the master really see someone sneaking into the castle? Liuyun obviously couldn't believe it.
"Then it can be fake, I heard a sigh, and then when we came out, I saw a dark shadow just now. That person's skills are quite good, and his kung fu is not under you and the stars. Chen Jia nodded affirmatively.
"Really? We will definitely step up our precautions. It's just master, when are you going to leave for Lisheng? ”
"Huh? When did I say I was going to Le Thanh? Chen Jia blinked. It's like hearing a fantasy.
"Master, you obviously kept nodding just now!" What Liuyun didn't know was that Chen Jia was too focused just now, and he heard a voice nodding. It's just a knee-jerk reaction. I didn't listen to what Liuyun said at all.
"Well, what are you doing in Lisheng? I forgot. Chen Jia smiled apologetically.
"Dragon's head crutches?" Liuyun reminded Chen Jia.
"What's the matter with the faucet crutches?"
"Did the master not listen to him at all just now?" Liuyun looked at Chen Jia and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"yes, I was thinking about that spy just now. What happened to the dragon head crutch in Li Shengguo? Chen Jia scratched her head embarrassedly, forget it, she still honestly admits it.
"Before he died, Emperor Li Shengguo suddenly said a strange thing, 'The wrath of the sun god is coming, you kill the people of the sun god.'" You will be punished by God! Liuyun had no choice but to adjust his emotions and say it again from the beginning.
"Nonsense. He was clearly alarmist. It's like some people will say before they die, 'I won't let you go if I do ghosts', you can't be afraid, right? Chen Jia looked at Liuyun with a smile, thinking of the ancient people's awe of gods and ghosts, I am afraid that Liuyun also believes in it.
"Master, later Ah Jiu and I went to ask other people in the palace about the sun god, and it turned out that what he said was not all groundless, because, in Li Shengguo's palace, there is an altar, just inside the temple, and there is a statue of the sun god next to the altar, Ah Jiu and I walked over to take a look out of curiosity, but we were startled."
"What's wrong? Didn't the sun god have any clothes? Chen Jia thought funny.
"Master, why do you think so?" Liuyun blushed. "We were startled because the sun god also had a dragon-headed cane in his hand, exactly like the one that the master had thrown away before."
"What?" Chen Jia was interested, she held Liuyun's shoulders, less than a foot away from her. "Are you serious? Can that faucet crutch be taken off? ”
"I don't know, Liuyun hasn't tried." Liuyun shook his head.
"So, is there a mechanism next to it that looks like the one in the belly of the mountain?" Chen Jia shook Liuyun's shoulder.
"I didn't see it, it's just a statue with a dragon's head cane in its hand."
"Okay, okay, then you can always tell when the statue was built, right?" Chen Jia looked at Liuyun helplessly, this girl, why didn't she have any curiosity at all? If you see such a fantasy scene, why don't you try to see if you can take it off?
"It was built a long time ago, and it's covered with moss."
"Good!" Chen Jia clapped her hands suddenly, "When I arrange this matter, I'll go and see it immediately." ”
"Yes, master." Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jia didn't do anything, and drafted the new policy overnight, but in view of the fact that everyone was used to the monarchy, she was not in a hurry, but first placed a few auxiliary ministers to help the little emperor get ideas, Yang Mingyuan and Sun Aoting both arrived in the capital, while Cheng Hu was guarding the border of Changcheng, and Zhao Zilin was in charge of the border of Yuancheng.
Chen Jia took Ah Jiu and Liuyun all the way to the east, but along the way, Chen Jia always felt that someone was following him, and the other party was very careful, Chen Jia wanted to hide it several times and check who it was, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, so that in the end, Chen Jia himself felt that he was a little nervous.
"Master, now Li Shengmin has a lot of grievances, mainly because someone has been promoting the wrath of the sun god, could it be them?" Ah Jiu also sensed that there were people, and Ah Jiu thought it would be someone from Li Shengguo.
"Yes, yes, no, we have a dragon cane, so we don't have to be afraid of a few little minions." Chen Jia deliberately said loudly. She always felt that the other party could hear her. See your own words and deeds.
"The master is wise." Liuyun also sensed Chen Jia's intentions and replied loudly.
"Go straight to the Lisheng Palace." Chen Jia flicked the silver whip, and the white horse ran fast. Roll up the dust and smoke all the way.
If there is really a dragon head crutch, does it mean that Jiang Haoze also stayed in Li Shengguo? Although there are many books in the Jiang family's collection in the belly of the mountain, it is a pity that Chen Jia was busy with various things and did not check whether what Jiang Wenhan said before his death was true or false.
There is no depression and solemnity in the emperor's palace, even in the middle of summer, there is no anger in the lotus pond.
"Why is it so desolate?"
"At that time, there was a fire to the corpses here, and there was still some damage here." Liuyun was a little sorry, she knew that Chen Jia didn't like to burn and loot the most.
"Then there is no destruction elsewhere, right?"
"Nope. Rest assured, master. ”
Chen Jia nodded and came to the Burning Hall to rest, it was still the same place. Chen Jia sat on the sofa she designed for a long time and couldn't calm down, this is Ruoyun begging her to design a gift for her mother. It's just that she didn't expect that Ruoyun committed suicide, and her mother and her royal brother were also forced to commit suicide. The once infinitely glorious royal family. Now it's just a touch of loess.
The right to chase can often make people desperate, but since ancient times, how many people have been able to escape the temptation of power?
Liuyun brought a cup of tea, and Siqi followed her in.
"See Master." Siqi's movements were clean and neat, without the slightest hesitation.
"Siqi, it looks like it's a lot sunny! Otherwise, leave Li Sheng to you to manage. Chen Jia teased.
"Siqi doesn't have that heart now, but. If the master has a heart, Siqi will definitely go to the soup for the master. No excuses. Siqi replied with a serious face.
"Forget it, all countries have just fought wars, and they fight every day, and the people are not happy, so why bother?" Chen Jia smiled, in fact, for hundreds of years ago, the division of the four countries has always been very good, but there are always some people who have destroyed the overall situation in order to seek their own personal interests, but it is the poor people at the bottom who are affected.
"Siqi in this life, only recognize the master, what the master asks Siqi to do, Siqi will do, if the master does not want the world, Siqi is also willing to return to the mountains and forests with the master."
Siqi's words shocked Chen Jia a little, once he betrayed Jiang Wenhan and Cheng Mei to have an adulterous child, which shows that he is not a very loyal person, not only that, he is also a very ambitious person, but now, he can give up everything and return to the mountains and forests with himself, just to be his own minion, this change in the middle, is not surprising?
"If you never see the light of day, will you do it?" Chen Jia deliberately scared him.
"Siqi will never give up!" Siqi's eyes shining with sincerity as he looked at Chen Jia.
"Well, I believe it!" Chen Jia shrugged her shoulders and pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Jia took a sip of tea, took a breath, and decided to go to the temple to see the so-called sun god.
The temple is in the innermost part of the palace, except for the annual sacrifice day, no one usually goes, Chen Jia has never heard of this place after staying with Ruoyun in the palace for several days, let alone been there.
The architecture of the temple was completely different from that of the imperial palace, as if it had been moved from another world, and to Chen Jia's surprise, the appearance of this temple looked like a statue, a statue of a human head, and it was a man, and the entrance to the temple was the mouth of the statue. It's just that there is a tall palace with a royal palace in front of the temple blocking the view, and Chen Jia has never seen it.
"Master, the altar is inside." Liuyun said, pointing to the temple.
Chen Jia followed Liuyun and Siqichao inside, and there was a feeling of entering a haunted house in an amusement park.
As soon as he entered the temple, Chen Jia seemed to be in an empty gladiatorial arena, and the huge altar looked like a big stage, but such a huge altar looked like it was carved from a whole stone, and there were some six-pointed star-shaped patterns overlapping each other on the stone, which looked a little weird.
"Has anyone ever been there?" Chen Jia pointed to the altar.
"I asked them, and they said that only the sacrifice could go up." Siqi replied.
"Where is the sacrifice?" Chen Jia was worried that the sacrifices had already been killed.
"The royal sacrifice is in the temple, and it is said that no one has ever seen him for what he really is, and we did not kill him, but he never went out. We just send someone to bring some food to the inside every day. Siqi also saw Chen Jia's face and knew what she was worried about.
"Why didn't you see him?" Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around, but no one was seen.
"Sacrifice, come out quickly to meet my master." Siqi didn't know where the priest was hiding, but just shouted loudly.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jia knew that the sacrifice was hiding by herself, and she looked towards the statue of the sun god.
The statue of the sun god is not undressed, this statue is carved particularly burly and straight, but it seems to be carved by a real person, the statue is carved in brass, or carved and poured brass, and the statue really has a dragon head crutch in his hand, which is exactly the same as what Chen Jia got before.
It seems that this is also Jiang Haoze's handwriting, but does everything left here have any effect on solving the mystery in the belly of the mountain?
Chen Jia looked at the altar carefully, and walked around the altar a few times, trying to see if there were any hints there, but unfortunately, she turned a few pillars of incense, but she still didn't see a single number or character.
It was a beautiful candlestick on the side that finally caught her attention.
This candlestick is made of gold, it looks luxurious and wonderful, such a luxurious thing, but suddenly appeared next to the altar of the temple, is there anything special?
Chen Jia stretched out her hand and touched the candlestick.
"Can't touch it!" A young man's voice came, magnetic and lazy in his voice.
"Pretending to be a ghost?" Chen Jia does not believe in evil. He reached over and touched the candlestick.
"The candlestick of the sun god is reserved for the goddess, and you touch it but it's fine, are you the goddess?"
A white light flashed in front of Chen Jia's eyes, and a beautiful man wearing a white robe and floating like a fairy appeared in front of everyone.
The man had long gray-brown hair, fair skin with ruddy, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, straight mouth, and a fairy posture at the end.
"Are you the sacrifice?" Chen Jia didn't expect that the sacrifice would be such a young man.
"Hmm!" The man nodded slightly, only to see him staring at Chen Jia, refusing to move his gaze for half a minute.
"Looks good." Seeing that the priest was staring at herself, Chen Jia would not be shy, she also kept looking at him, and said in her heart, hum, the old lady has lived for two lives, is it possible that she is afraid of you little child.
Siqi on the side was also surprised, after a mysterious sacrifice in Li Shengguo for hundreds of years, was he willing to see people with his true face?
"The goddess is also good-looking."
Hearing Chen Jia's words, the priest was stunned for a moment at first, and then, he blinked his star eyes twice, and looked away slightly, looking at the candlestick and Chen Jia's hand holding the candlestick. (To be continued......)
