173, [Purgatory Spectrum]

Capturing Wei Chang and the fake Zhang Meiren alive means that there are two more people to ask, and it seems that Wei Chang has been a traitor in the palace for a long time, so he should know a lot.

And these two people, looking at their looks, Zhang Meiren almost committed suicide just now, and she seems to be more loyal, so she may not be able to open her mouth if asked.

But Wei Chang, a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, seems to have a more active heart. And those who want to run for their lives as soon as something happens are usually less courageous, so everyone decided to start with Wei Chang.

"Say it." Zhan Zhao poked that Wei Chang, "To tell the truth, spare you from dying, and if you don't tell the truth, you will be a eunuch!" ”

……

Everyone looked at each other silently, Zhanzhao's threat was probably inspired by Xiao Dongzi.

Wei Chang grinned bitterly, sighed and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to say everything, and said that he was actually forced to be helpless.

According to Wei Chang's confession, the fake Zhang Meiren is called Zhang Xie, and both of them are the descendants of the people of Chenjia Village who were trapped in purgatory under the golden ancient city with Chen Mao.

At that time, the people of Dongjia Village took the money and went around happily, but Chenjia Village lost almost half of its strong labor, suffered heavy losses, and later declined, and the children and grandchildren fled to their own future and lost contact.

Wei Changshu reads well, and it is easy to get such a good or bad entry in the housekeeper's room, his parents died early, and his brother is one, and he has a lot of work and effort, and he lives freely.

But one day, Chen Xiu suddenly found him, and a few said that it was his fellow countrymen.

Wei Chang originally thought that the fellows couldn't get along and came to take refuge, so they wanted to help make a living, but unexpectedly, these fellows killed people without blinking an eye, especially that Chen Xiu, who set fire to the master when he turned his hand, scaring the personal master to death!

Chen Xiu asked him to enter the Red Refining Hall, but he refused, Chen Xiu accused him of not even avenging his ancestors' revenge, and on the other hand, he threatened him that if he didn't help, he would immediately turn him into scorched earth.

Wei Chang was frightened by him, and had no choice, so in order to save his life, he had to cooperate with him, tattooed a fire phoenix on his arm, and did something for him.

The task given to him by Chen Xiu is not difficult, that is, let him find some things in the palace, and then make an internal response, if he wants to arrange someone to come out and go in, Wei Chang's position is more convenient to help cover it.

So, Wang Dong pretended to be his father-in-law to enter the palace, and later escaped, all of which he did secretly.

It's just that the Chilian Palace has become bigger and bigger over the years, and Wei Chang doesn't know what they want to do, the original free days are gone, and he is worried every day, for fear that one day the head will fall to the ground.

Not long ago, Zhang Xie entered the palace, the reason was that Wei Chang and Wang Dong had not found any clues for so long, Chen Xiu was a little impatient, and Chen Xiu seemed to have some clues, so let Zhang Xie pretend to be a Zhang beauty to come in, Zhang Xie's kung fu was much better than Wei Chang and Wang Dong, and it was convenient to do things.

A while ago, Zhang Xie suddenly came to Wei Chang and asked him to send a message to Tongling, asking him to think of a trip to the palace, he found the turtle shell but it was difficult to get it, and asked Tongling to start.

When everyone heard this, they were a little puzzled, indeed, according to Zhang Xie's reaction, he should have put the silver tortoise shell in Concubine Pang's courtyard. But he shouldn't be able to count the little fourth son who put the turtle shell into the house and pad the table legs! Other than that...... What did he do for him? Now that he has already obtained the turtle shell, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to Wei Chang directly and let him take him out of the palace, so why bother hiding it in Concubine Pang's courtyard and letting the copper bell steal it?

Wei Chang looked puzzled on everyone's faces, and said, "I'll tell you more, can you sentence me lightly?" ”

Bao Zheng nodded, indicating that he could.

"Actually, as far as I know, Chen Xiu trusts Tongling very much and admires him very much." Wei Chang said, "Therefore, even if Tongling is not from Chenjia Village, he still sits in the position of deputy hall master." However, I have heard several Chenjiacun brothers from the Red Refining Hall complain, saying that the copper bell doesn't care about anything at all except good martial arts, and it doesn't know anything, and people are very annoying. It's just that Chen Xiu just values him, and let him have a second deal, to put it mildly, in case Chen Xiu has three long and two short in the future, the seat will be given to the copper bell, then the Red Refining Hall that so many of them have worked so hard to build is not to make wedding dresses for others? ”

After listening to the words of the copper bell, everyone had some eyebrows.

"Oh......" Gongsun nodded, "Zhang Xie deliberately let Tongling enter the palace and ventured to Concubine Pang's courtyard to get the carapace. Now in the palace, Concubine Pang's courtyard is the most heavily guarded place, and if he enters, it will be difficult to get out. That's right, he is indeed very good at kung fu, but there are also many masters in the palace, and Zhao Pu and they should be all there on the night of the celebration...... Naturally, someone wants his life, this trick is to kill people with a knife! ”

Everyone nodded, with Zhang Meiren's identity being so special, if she wanted to take back the turtle shell, she could take it back quietly at any time. Tongling, a person who only knows Lu Dao martial arts, and others who don't even have common sense in life, is really too easy to deceive.

But who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Tong Ling was arrested, and Wei Chang ran away after knowing it, after all, he was outside the palace.

Zhang Meiren is from the inner palace, early this morning, the people of Kaifeng Mansion almost turned the inner palace upside down, she probably heard about it, but not many people know about finding the turtle shell, Zhang Xie should be afraid of long nights and dreams, so he wanted to come and take it, so he made dishes and prepared to meet Concubine Pang.

But who knew that Zhao Pu and Gongsun were pretending to quarrel in the courtyard, and the entire inner palace where the flower pots were thrown heard it, Zhang Xie naturally wanted to hurry over to persuade the fight, and then led everyone away, and asked Yahuan to secretly collect the silver armor under the flower pots when she was cleaning up. Who knew that this was falling into the trap of Gongsun and Zhao Pu, which can be described as a self-throwing net after being a thief.

"After a long time, the infighting was successful and the battle was successful, and we were also a blessing in disguise." Gongsun shook his head.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao asked Wei Chang, "What are you looking for besides tortoise shells?" ”

Wei Chang replied, "Still looking for jade." ”

"Jade?" Everyone was puzzled, "What kind of jade are you looking for?" ”

"Well, I don't know about this, I didn't say it was a jade pendant, I didn't say it was a jade plate or a jade pendant, in short, it was jade." Wei Chang said, "This jade is not an ordinary jade, it is said that if you bake it on fire, a phoenix will appear!" ”

And they all stared at him.

"Really!" Wei Chang hurriedly swore, "I just want to save my life, I really don't hide it, it was Chen Xiu who asked us to find it, the people of Huofeng Hall are looking for jade merchants everywhere, and they are also looking for this magical jade, even the jade pendants of Huofeng and Huolong are all made because of this legendary jade." ”

Everyone frowned when they heard this, this Chen Xiu seemed to be quite cautious, and ordered people to do things at ease, so he secretly arranged two or three, and also split one thing into two halves and gave them to different people.

"Where did you find the tortoise shell?" Bai Yutang was very curious, what was there a tortoise shell in the palace, but Wang Dong didn't find it?

"In the Big Vault." Wei Chang said, "Zhang Xie later told me that it was a silver treasury. ”

"Silver?" Zhan Zhao looked curiously at Zhao Pu and Master Bao on the side.

Zhao Pu was surprised, "Oh, usually gold, silver, jade and treasures are separated, and gold and silver will enter the treasury and silver treasury in addition to the treasury. Most of the gold and silver in the treasury were copied from the homes of corrupt officials, and this kind of treasury is collectively referred to as the big treasury, which is equivalent to a reserve of the treasury. If there is no money in the event of a war, you can take out the gold and silver in this treasury and recast it into silver and gold bricks, and then use it. ”

Master Bao also nodded, "But I have not had much war against the rich, so I have never used it, and even many people don't know the existence of this treasury." ”

Everyone harvested clues, returned to Kaifeng, and imprisoned Wei Chang and Zhang Xie.

"Find Jade!"

In the courtyard, everyone sat around again and discussed the case.

What puzzles them the most now is not the people behind the scenes or the ultimate intentions, but ...... Why did Chen Xiu go to great lengths to find jade?

"What kind of jade, a phoenix can fly out of the fire?" Zhao Pu pursed his lips and leaned on a rattan couch and scratched his head.

Lin Yehuo leaned on the edge of the table and yawned, "It's not that there is no jade that changes color when it is burned, but aren't Chen Xiu and the others wholeheartedly looking for purgatory and the golden ancient city to practice martial arts?" Why did it become looking for jade again? ”

Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, the kitchen lady brought a few girls and brought a large pot of seafood fried noodles over, "You don't know how hungry you are?" ”

Everyone was stunned, smelling the fragrance of their faces, and they also knew that they were hungry.

Even Pang Yu and Bao Yan in the study were smoked out, and they were so hungry that they were exhausted, lying on the table holding plates and waiting for the kitchen lady to divide the noodles.

In other words, since Bai Yutang came to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng's food level has improved by leaps and bounds, not because the kitchen lady's craftsmanship has improved, but because the ingredients are so good, the seafood alone has not been broken.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Cui held a large plate of groupers together and put them on the table, and they were close to Bai Yutang, "Fifth master, it's so big and fresh, it's only half a piece, and the whole one is bigger than the table!" ”

Xiao Cui also said, "We don't live by the sea, and it's the first time we've eaten such a big fish, it's fresh and tender." ”

Bai Yutang smiled at the two girls, and Xiaoyu and Xiaocui were so dazzled that they followed the kitchen lady back to the kitchen.

Zhan Zhao chewed on the fried noodles and glanced at Bai Yutang, a mouse that attracts bees and butterflies.

Bai Yutang sat down, looked at him while eating fried noodles, and motioned for him to look at his own bowl and then look at other people's bowls.

Zhan Zhao blinked, looked down, and found that he had the most fried noodles in the bowl and the most good things.

Everyone sighed silently - the kitchen lady is really eccentric and cute.

Bai Yutang also raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao - recruiting bees and butterfly cats!

Zhanzhao took a chopstick of grouper meat and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, and then he began to squint happily.

Bai Yutang stared at him for a while, then reached out and grabbed a large piece and brought it to his mouth.

Zhanzhao opened his mouth - ahhh......hh After that, the eyes were full of happiness...... Bai Yutang was stunned, feeding the cat was really fun!

Everyone ate the delicious food silently, and watched Bai Yutang feeding the cats on the spot, but I also have to thank Zhan Zhao, they were all fed by the way when Bai Yutang fed the cats......

The little fourth son puffed out his cheeks and chewed fried noodles, looking at Gongsun and Zhao Pu who were eating on the side.

Zhao Pu doesn't eat fish, he just eats fried noodles.

"Ninety-nine, don't you like fish?" The little fourth son asked.

Zhao Pu pouted, "Fish have bones, and it is troublesome to eat." ”

Xiao Sizi smiled and said, "Ah, Jiujiu can't spit fish bones, no wonder they don't eat fish." ”

Zhao Pu looked disdainful, "Fish eats too much and doesn't grow meat, it's only eaten by thin people......"

Before he finished speaking, he received two sharp glances from Zhan Zhao and Gongsun.

Zhao Pu honestly closed his mouth.

Gongsun stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of fish and put it in his bowl, "Grouper has no bones, eat it with confidence." ”

"Are you a nerd lying to me?" Zhao Pu squinted at Gongsun, full of disbelief.

Gongsun was angry, and said in his heart that he was kind to the liver and lungs of a donkey, so he reached out and picked up the piece of fish just now, and took a bite to show Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu stared at Gongsun's mouth chewing fish and opened his mouth, "I want your piece!" ”

Gongsun glanced at him, "Clip yourself." ”

Zhao Pu leaned over, opened his mouth, and ate the remaining half of the fish meat that Gongsun hadn't had time to put into his mouth, and licked the chopsticks in Gongsun's hand by the way.

Gongsun stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head, "You are not allowed to lick chopsticks when eating, there are no rules!" ”

Zhao Pu smiled and chewed the fish, and everyone else sighed on the side - Gongsun is worthy of being a father, and the focus of attention is really different from that of mortals.

Xiao Sizi obediently sandwiched another fish meat for Zhao Pu and put it in his mouth, "Jiujiu, I will give you all the fish meat without thorns in the future." ”

Zhao Pu's heart is full of joy - his son is so well-behaved!

Gongsun glanced at the little fourth son, and the little fourth son hurriedly went to pick up another chopstick and sent it to the mouth of the grandson.

Gongsun ate it and glanced at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu winked at the little fourth son, "I still want it." ”

The little fourth son went to clip it again, Zhao Pu ate it, the grandson also wanted it, and the little fourth son clamped it again, so the little fourth son took a pair of chopsticks and took turns to clip the fish and meat for the two fathers.

After the most embarrassing Xiao Liang couldn't stand it, he took out the chopsticks of the little fourth son, put them in the middle, and then hugged the little fourth son over, and gave him fish and meat to eat, while glancing at Zhao Pu and Gongsun, muttering, "If you two like those pair of chopsticks, you can clip them yourself, so I don't have to eat them myself." ”

Thereupon...... Everyone once again watched Gongsun and Zhao Pu grab chopsticks.

Lin Yehuo took out the mushrooms and green peppers in his bowl with chopsticks and threw them into Zou Liang's bowl, while saying, "When your marshal is not fighting, he is not as mature as the fourth son." ”

Zou Liang looked at the green peppers and shiitake mushrooms in his bowl, stretched out his chopsticks, and pinched the seafood and meat in the night fire bowl.

"Ahh Lin night fire grabs plates.

Zou Liang raised his eyebrows, "If you eat too much meat, you will get fat." ”

Lin Yehuo glared at him angrily, "You are fat yourself!" ”

Zou Liang was stunned, "I'm fat?" ”

"You've got a ring of meat coming out of your belly!" Lin Yehuo seemed to have finally thought of a means to fight back, glanced at Zou Liang's waist, and said proudly.

"Where do I have meat on my stomach?" Zou Liang looked down, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu has six-pack abs, where did he get his belly?

Lin Yehuo opened his eyes and said nonsense, and tilted his face, "When the master came back, he hugged all the way, and naturally he knew the way." ”

As he spoke, Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang Shaozheng asked him curiously, "Why are you hugging him?" ”

"Uh......" Lin Yehuo flattened his mouth, twisted his face, and grabbed the seafood in Zou Liang's bowl to eat, "You're so fat, I'll help you eat some ......"

"Where do I have a belly?!" Zou Liang grabbed Lin Yehuo's hand and asked him to touch his stomach, "You can grab a handful of meat for me to try!" ”

"Talented!" Lin Yehuo struggled, but Zou Liang grabbed him and pressed his stomach, back and forth, the most sluggling Lin Yehuo simply didn't earn, and his heart said to touch it, and he didn't suffer.

But at this time, Zou Liang was a little strained, so Lin Yehuo's hand ...... Xiang Xia touched it a little......

"Ahh

Everyone heard Lin Yehuo's sudden scream, grabbed his arm and jumped up, ran to wash his hands, and muttered something in his mouth, "I touched something dirty, and my hand is going to rot!" ”

Everyone patronized and ate just now, and they didn't pay attention to the movement here, so they knew that the two of them were dragging around, what did Lin Yehuo touch?

"What did he touch?" Long Qiaoguang asked Zou Liang curiously.

Zou Liang coughed, signaled Long Qiaoguang to eat and talk less, while eating fried noodles with a bowl in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

Master Pang held the bowl of fried noodles, looked at his son Pang Yu, who was chatting with Bao Yan and didn't know what to do, and gently touched Bao Zheng beside him with his arm, "I said that your Kaifeng Mansion is lively enough." ”

But after speaking, I didn't hear Bao Zheng answer.

As soon as Taishi turned his face curiously, he saw a black tiger face appear in front of him.

"Mommy......" Taishi slid back and sat on the ground with his ass.

Bao Zheng just put aside the fried noodles that he couldn't finish and let Xiao Wu eat, Xiao Wu was rolling noodles with his tongue, and when he saw Taishi rubbing himself, he turned his face to look, but he didn't expect Taishi to sit on the ground.

Master Bao also looked at the Taishi on the ground and asked, "Lao Pang, why are you?" A handful of old eating rules! ”

Gongsun on the other side nodded - yes, the rules of eating are very important!

The corners of Master Pang's mouth twitched, and he patted his chest, "Good guy, I thought that sunspot was in its original form." ”

"Poof......" Shuqing on the side heard it, and suddenly "sprayed", but fortunately he held back.

Bao Zheng squinted at Taishi Pang, stretched out his hand, and poured Taishi's uneaten noodles into Xiao Wu's food bowl.

"Alas!" The Taishi sat back and protested to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng glared at his belly, that means - lose weight!

Yin Hou and Tianzun carefully sipped the grouper and drank a little wine, looking at the noisy people in the courtyard while eating, they couldn't help but sigh...... Oops, this is youth! A hundred years ago, we were so alive and kicking.

……

At this moment, the dynasty outside ran in, "Xiao Liangzi, someone from your family has come." ”

Xiao Liang was slightly stunned, and then patted his head, "Ah! I guess my mother sent me a picture scroll. ”

Lin Yehuo also raised his head.

Everyone remembered at this time, before Lin Yehuo talked about his dream, Xiao Liangzi said that he had seen it in a scroll of his mother's paintings, so the flying pigeon passed the book to his mother to send it, and this time it may be that the Wolf King Castle sent a letter.

"Come in." Mr. Bao was embarrassed, "This is a special trip from afar." ”

After a while, I saw a woman running in from outside, in her forties, tall and thin, holding a shovel of dark iron in her hand and a burden in the other. ”

"Ahh Xiao Liang jumped up and pounced, "Godmother!" ”

The woman reached out and hugged Xiao Liang, "Do you want to be a godmother?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Liang hugged the woman and looked very close.

Everyone's eyes fell on the shovel in her hand.

"Huh." At this time, Ouyang couldn't help but say, "Isn't this the shovel lady Yuan Tianqing, but I haven't seen it for some years." ”

Zhao Pu also nodded.

After Yuan Tianqing put Xiao Liang down, he greeted Zhao Pu and them.

This Yuan Tianqing is Xiao Liang's mother's sworn sister, don't look at it as a woman, a shovel is infinitely powerful, and she is the fierce general of Wolf King Castle. Zhao Pu and she all know each other, and they know that this is not easy to mess with, and she is a heroine if she sounds good, but she is ugly, just like Xiao Liang and his mother, one of the best female insects in the northwest.

"You brought it yourself?" Lin Yehuo finished washing his hands at this time, returned to the yard, and was stunned when he saw Yuan Tianqing.

"I was there when my sister found the scroll, and if you want to ask about it, I'll tell you about it." As he spoke, Yuan Tianqing patted Xiao Liang's head, "My sister and brother-in-law are worried about this baby, let me take a look, right......"

Saying that, Yuan Tianqing said to Xiao Liang, "Your mother has it, you want to be a brother." ”

"Really?!" Xiao Liang jumped, "Male or female?" ”

"It should be a woman." Yuan Tianqing smiled, "Your father has been beautiful these days, so you can remember to go home to see your sister born in half a year." ”

"Wow!" Xiao Liang jumped up with joy and grabbed the hand of the little fourth son, "Jin'er, I have a sister!" ”

The fourth son is also happy for Xiao Liang.

Yuan Tianqing took aim at the little fourth son at a glance, and said in his heart - hey, this doll is so beautiful!

……

After eating, the people spread out the scrolls and studied them.

Looking at the name on the scroll, everyone couldn't help but laugh, Xiao Liang said last time what was the "oven spectrum", and everyone was puzzled by the second monk, this time I opened it and looked at it, I understood it, it turned out to be "purgatory spectrum!" ”

Zhao Pu looked at Xiao Liang with admiration, "Purgatory can be regarded as an oven, don't follow me every day to learn kung fu, learn to study with Gongsun!" ”

Xiao Liang scratched his head in embarrassment.

Gongsun was a little surprised, and blinked, Zhao Pu didn't call the nerd Gongsun.

Xiao Sizi nodded with satisfaction, just now he whispered to Zhao Pu that he was not allowed to call him a nerd anymore, his father didn't like to listen to it, so Zhao Pu really changed his words.

Zhan Zhao spread out the scroll little by little, and sure enough, it was a picture of purgatory, and the scene in the picture was similar to that in Lin's night fire dream.

Everyone watched the night fire.

Lin Yehuo stared at the picture for a long time, and was also surprised, "There are many places that coincide...... Did I see this painting when I was a child? ”

"Don't remember?" Zou Liang asked.

Lin Yehuo patted his head and shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"When people are too young, they will remember what they see, especially some terrible things or strange things, and in many cases they will appear in dreams, and they will not be able to distinguish between the real and the fake." Gongsun said, "For example, some children were chased by dogs when they were young, so they were afraid of dogs, and they were often chased by dogs when they dreamed. ”

Lin Yehuo nodded, could it be that he had seen this picture when he was a child? But the memories are more real.

"That's right." Bai Yutang asked Yuan Tianqing, "You said that when you obtained this picture, you had a special experience?" ”

"yes!" Yuan Qingtian nodded, looked at Bai Yutang and then at Zhanzhao, and sighed, oops, this man from the Central Plains is really pretty!

"My sister and I found this scroll in a cave near an ancient tomb." Yuan Tianqing recalled, "It was about evening, we took a shortcut to the cliff, and my sister saw a cave in the middle of the opposite mountain wall, and there seemed to be an old man sitting in it. So the two of us went up to see if there was an old man trapped, or some high-ranking person living there, and when we went in, we found that it was an old monk who had passed away. ”

"Monk?" Everyone was curious.

"Yes, the old monk is very stylish, the most strange thing is that the other person is dead, the bones are not rotten, but the body is dry." Yuan Tianqing continued.

"The old monk sat as if he were meditating, holding the scroll in both hands."

The crowd thought it was bizarre and listened to it.

"My sister took this scroll and opened it to take a look, and we were both shocked, and said in our hearts, what is this painting, so terrifying." Yuan Tianqing said, sighing, "At the same time, a gust of mountain wind passed, guess what?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

The old monk disappeared in an instant...... A gust of wind blew him to ashes and swept him into the valley. Yuan Tianqing said with some emotion, "My sister thinks that she may have met an immortal, or she is a high-ranking monk, since she has a fate, this scroll should be very important, so she kept it carefully." ”

"It's bizarre." Bao Zheng nodded.

"And that's not all." Yuan Tianqing said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, "After the old monk was blown away, on the stone platform where he was sitting, there was also a line of words engraved, which should have been carved into it with internal force, and it was carved very deeply, we copied it down at the time, it may be useful." ”

Everyone hurried over to look at the piece of paper, and saw a sentence written on it......

"If you want to enter purgatory, the fire phoenix leads the way, the phoenix hides in the jade, and when you encounter the fire, you will see it, and there will be no phoenix to enter, and there will be no recovery. Remember, remember. ”
