Jun Mo asked, watched her peel off the lotus seeds one by one, picked out the lotus heart, and went to the kitchen to get it for half an hour before serving a bowl of red date lotus seed soup. handed it to him and said softly: "I cooked it all by myself, I don't know if it's delicious for the first time, taste it, is it delicious?" ”

Jun Mowen took it and tasted it, "It's delicious, as long as you make it, it's delicious." Come, I can't finish such a big bowl, you can eat a little too. After speaking, he scooped a spoonful and put it in Zhong Lichun's mouth. Two of you, I finished eating a big bowl of lotus seed soup in one bite.

Zhong Lichun smiled brightly, "I can't imagine that in addition to marching and fighting, I can also wash my hands and make soup like an ordinary woman, you are the first person who can eat the lotus seed soup I made myself, after entering the palace in my previous life, I have never been in the kitchen." ”

"Being able to eat what you make is a blessing that I have cultivated in three lifetimes. Shuang'er, don't go back to the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, it's too far away, it's not easy for me to see you, you can go to the palace to live, so it's convenient for me to see you! ”

Zhong Lichun thought for a moment, "Okay! You can live there, as long as you don't live in the palace. It's up to you. ”

Jun Mo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered Shi Cheng to go to the palace to make arrangements. After the dispersal of the dynasty on the second day, he hurriedly returned to the palace to inspect it in person, and then ordered someone to take Zhong Lichun to the palace. And the palace was changed to a royal residence. Ordered Shi Zhong to take charge of the affairs of the monarch's mansion.

Zhong Lichun also lived in the monarch's house with peace of mind, Jun Mowen seized the time to deal with state affairs, arranged for officials to be transferred, transferred a number of local officials with good reputations from other places to Beijing, and transferred some officials in Beijing to local posts or promotions or demotions. A large number of impure-minded officials have been replaced. After more than half a year of promotion and transfer, the court finally completed the major blood change and settled down.

Jun Mo saw that everything was normal, so he discussed with Zhang Shaoqing and prepared to set off to the Jiulong Mountains to find Jiang Shang's grave and find Danfang.

Zhang Shaoqing also knew that after the last trouble, if Zhong Lichun couldn't recover her appearance, she would never set foot in the palace again. Therefore, he also strongly supported Jun Mowen to go to the Jiulong Mountains to find the ancient Danfang. So Jun Mowen handed over the political affairs to Qu Ziru, Zhang Shaoqing and Zou Ping, took Shi Cheng with him, and left quietly without Zhong Lichun.

Zhong Lichun didn't see Jun Mowen show up for a few days, and couldn't help but feel strange, why Jun Mowen hadn't come to visit him for five days, could it be that he was busy with government affairs, and it was wrong to think about it, a few days ago, I heard Jun Mo ask that the situation is stable now, and the new officials are already familiar with their respective work, so they shouldn't be too busy. Could it be? Zhong Lichun was startled, and shouted to Bai Sha: "You go to Shaoqing and come over, I have something to ask him, go quickly!" ”

Bai Sha didn't know where to go, but seeing her heavy face, she hurriedly beat her horse and came to the general's mansion. The porter was still very respectful to the future hostess, and hurriedly welcomed her into the hall, served fragrant tea, and asked her to wait patiently.

Zhang Shaoqing finished dealing with a lot of things, and as soon as he returned to the general's mansion in a hurry, he heard that Bai Sha had been waiting for a long time, and couldn't help but strode into the hall with joy in his heart, and saw a purple figure pacing anxiously. Zhang Shaoqing quietly approached, jumped out from behind, and hugged her in his arms.

Bai Sha was waiting anxiously, and was suddenly hugged from behind, fell into a familiar embrace, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "What are you doing, sneaking to scare me." ”

Zhang Shaoqing lowered his head and kissed her on the face, "Why did you come to me in person today, did you miss me?" ”

Bai Sha smacked him, and said coquettishly: "Don't be stinky and beautiful, it's the lady who is looking for you in a hurry, go quickly!" ”

"Sister-in-law has something to do with me? Okay, let's go now. Zhang Shaoqing took the white yarn out of the house together, hugged her and jumped on the snow. Come to the King's Mansion.

Zhong Lichun had already waited for a long time, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately asked, "Shaoqing, Jun Mo asked if he went to Jiulong Mountain to find Danfang." ”

Zhang Shaoqing lowered his head, "Sister-in-law, it was the emperor who didn't let you tell you, and the emperor asked his sister-in-law to wait for his good news at home." ”

"Shaoqing, why are you so nonsense? Jun Mo asked that he is now the king of a country, and he can't leave the dynasty easily, this goes to Jiulong Mountain, the mountain is dangerous, I heard that there is a formation in front of the cemetery, and if it is a little late, it will be a catastrophe, why don't you stop him. And don't you come and tell me? If something happens to him, the Chu Kingdom will be in chaos, you don't have to think about it. Do you still think I am your sister-in-law in your heart? Zhong Lichun hurriedly reprimanded.

Zhang Shao lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, "That's it!" I'll leave for him at once, and you must take care of state affairs. Take care of the stability of the DPRK situation, and I will come back as soon as I find him. ”

After Zhong Lichun finished speaking, he hurriedly packed up a few clothes and white yarn, and the two of them left Beijing. Along the way, he urged the horse to Xianyang, Qin State, and entered the Qinling Mountains from Xianyang. Zhong Lichun vaguely remembered the route on the map, and found Jiulong Mountain smoothly along the way, looking at the nine peaks crisscrossing each other, like nine giant dragons entwined.

As soon as she arrived at Jiulong Mountain, Zhong Lichun was a little worried, she only looked at it in a hurry, and only remembered the route into the mountain, as for the auspicious address of the tomb on that peak, there was no image. I decided to ask the nearby villagers about the situation, so I approached a small mountain village with only two or three households, asked the villagers about the situation, and asked if they had seen a slender and sturdy son pass by here in the past few days. Several villagers shook their heads, saying they didn't see strangers passing by.

Zhong Lichun reluctantly asked the villagers if there were any particularly strange places nearby, for example, places that were easy to get lost, in short, unusual places. An old man immediately said: "Go out from here, over two peaks, but there is a place that is very strange, foggy for many years, can not see the direction, I used to hear the legend of the older generation, whether it is livestock, or hunters can not get out, but some people do not believe in evil, tangled six strong men broke in, no one came out." Over time, they did not dare to set foot again.

Zhong Lichun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he gave the old man ten taels of silver, and asked the old man to lead the way. The old man agreed, saying that it was getting late, and asked them to rest for the night and go again tomorrow morning.

Zhong Lichun looked at the sky, and also knew that if he wanted to hurry, it would be good to take a rest and recuperate, so he rested in the hut for one night.

On the second morning, after two nights of porridge, I climbed two peaks with the old man. When I came there, it was just noon, and the old man stood on the top of the hill and pointed to a misty place and said: "Madame is there in front of you, I advise Madame not to go in, if you die, what's the use of asking for a baby." Besides, it's just a legend, who knows if it's true or not. In case the baby doesn't arrive, the life is gone, and it can't be drawn. The old man persuaded him bitterly.

Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, old man, I'm not sure I won't go in." The old man shook his head and turned to go down the mountain.

Zhong Lichun stood on the top of the mountain, and by the strong sunlight at noon, he vaguely saw a dense forest in the thick fog, and the forest was mixed with a bamboo forest. Zhong Lichun stood on the top of the mountain and carefully observed, the growth layout of the bamboo forest and woods, and watched for nearly an hour.

Zhong Lichun finally understood why there would be bamboo mixed in the woods, it turned out to be a nine-palace formation laid out according to Zhou Yi Bagua, according to the yin and yang two lines planted trees and bamboo, the bamboo is hollow, on behalf of the yin, the trees are really yang, and the dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, and the yin and yang are divided into four images, the dry is the sky, the water is the Ze, the separation is the fire, the earthquake is the thunder, the Xun is the wind, the kan is the water, the Gen is the mountain, the Kun is the earth, a total of eight major hexagrams, and there are seven hexagrams in each main hexagram, a total of eight eight and sixty-four hexagrams. Each hexagram has six hexagrams, one hundred and ninety-two yang hexagrams and one hundred and ninety-two yin hexagrams, for a total of 364 hexagrams.

They are also gossip and eight gates, dry for the door, for the surprise door for the west, away from the Jingmen Zhongnan, earthquake for the wound door for Wudong, Xun for the Du Gate, Kan for the Humen for the north of the Yang, Gen for the door of life, Kun for the door of death.

Zhong Lichun saw the location of the eight doors and eight directions clearly, and took a closer look at the direction of the opening and birth gates, and understood the direction of the gossip and the entrance and exit in his heart. Finally floated down from the top of the mountain, and the white yarn followed closely behind, not leaving an inch.

Zhong Lichun came to open the door and walked in, not long after entering, there was a pile of white bones on the ground, Zhong Lichun took a closer look, it turned out to be animal bones, it had been many years. Zhong Lichun made a mark on the tree every time she took a step, and Bai Sha saw that she had a uniform mark on the tree, and some of the X, she didn't know what it meant and didn't dare to ask more, so she could only follow closely with trepidation.

The two of them constantly shuttled between the bamboo and the woods. Bones are constantly found, both animals and people, but many have been dead for a long time. Zhong Lichun suddenly saw that a bamboo in front of him had been cut off by a sharp sword, and it was faintly trampled on among the dead leaves on the ground nearby. Look at the time should be today.

Zhong Lichun was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Jun Mo asked, I came to look for you, where are you, I heard one." As he walked, he shouted, and after walking for a while, he saw a bamboo cut down.

Zhong Lichun was happy in his heart, it must be a sign that Jun Mo was afraid of getting lost, so he searched all the way, shouted all the way, and after shouting for a while, he felt that his throat was smoking, and after thinking about it, he couldn't shout like this, and when the next person didn't find it, his voice was dumb first, so he and Bai Sha took turns shouting a few times every time they walked. In this way, the throat is rested and it is not so dry. After walking for a long time, when Zhong Lichun's voice sounded again, he heard a familiar echo in the distance, "Is it Shuang'er?" I am here. ”

Zhong Lichun's heart was beating wildly, and he hurriedly followed the voice to find it, and saw Jun Mowen leaning against a big tree, but Shi Cheng was lying on the ground and did not move.

"Jun Mo asked, are you okay?" Zhong Lichun stepped forward and pounced on Jun Mowen, beating Jun Mowen with both hands. "Why did you sneak out alone and don't tell me, so I'm worried about death."

Jun Mowen coughed lightly, "Don't beat it, if you beat it again, you will beat me to death." Do you have anything to eat? Starve me to death. ”

"Yes! How? You didn't bring dry food into the mountains? ”

"Shi Cheng brought a little, I didn't bring it, I thought that I could satisfy my hunger by catching a pheasant and hare in the deep forest, who knew that I was trapped here for a few days, and the dry food had already been eaten, and I didn't see anything alive in this hellish place. I can't gnaw bamboo like a panda to satisfy my hunger. ”

"What's going on with Shi Cheng, shouldn't it be hungry and faint!"
