Chapter Fifty-Eight: Raven Color
"Hmm...... Ahem...... This place is really messy enough, there are so many files, when is this going to be checked? ”
In the library of the palace, Xie Jin took advantage of his position to come in easily, and brought Xu He by the way.
The two of them, what they want to check is the annals of Lingfeng Temple, however, the books and files that have accumulated over the years are really complicated in the past, and some of them have been eaten by insects and ants, and the general content is still complete, but the key years and months are missing.
The rummaging kept going, and the two of them looked around, and after a while, the files that had been thrown away had gradually accumulated, and soon most of them were gone.
"Ah, have you seen the dossier about the Lingfeng Temple?"
"None."
Xie Jin took a few painstaking steps from the pile of files and came to Xu He, who was also trapped, he watched him search for a long time, and thought that there would be a harvest, but the result was still disappointing.
"It shouldn't be...... You and I have been to the Lingfeng Temple to rummage and can't see, the palace may not even have a word, but this Lingfeng Temple has also been there since the founding of the country, and it is a treasure temple to protect the country......"
Xie Jin muttered, the crown and headscarf on his head were crooked, he simply leaned back, and the whole person was lying on a pile of files.
"Someone is coming......"
As if noticing something, Xu He deliberately lowered his voice. But Xie Jin didn't care at all, he was the Taichang Temple, and it was reasonable to come in and find some files for the ritual festival, even if Xuanyuan Jue came, he could only frown at the dirty mess on the ground.
However, there are always exceptions.
For example, the person from outside this door is not someone else, it is Mrs. Xie.
Here, Xie Jin was still lying comfortably on a pile of dossiers with an expression of enjoyment, and under his head, he specially found a few more dossiers to pillow, which was so comfortable.
"Ah Jin......"
Xu He whispered, saluted Mrs. Xie again, looked up, and saw Mrs. Xie's hand, which was often fiddling with her hair, to her lips and signaling him not to make a sound.
Well, family affairs, he can't get involved.
"Xie Jin!!"
Yulang leaned on Langhuan in his idle dreams, and his father was furious and thunderous.
When the sound stopped, Xie Jin's eyes widened at the same time, and he happened to meet the two horizontal eyebrows of his father approaching, plus a pair of angry eyes.
"Father......" Xie Jin got up from the file in an orderly manner and saluted respectfully, and it was only then that he remembered one thing.
The cabinet of books in the palace is said to be haunted, so since the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he has not been able to find a suitable person to take care of it, so as a prince, his father, he has the responsibility to take care of the cabinet of books and books.
Although he messed up the file and Xu He was involved, at the moment, his father must be stubborn that he did it alone!
"You bunny! It's the other way around! You talk about how you grew up, you went up to the trees to catch birds, went down to the lake to fish, you dare anything, but you are quite obedient! Today...... Today you turned this place upside down, stinky boy, you want to me off! Isn't it?! ”
Blowing his beard, he saw that Mrs. Xie had a dossier in his hand and began to chase Xie Jin.
Xu He, seeing that Xie Jin, who had already performed the crown ceremony, was still running away in a panic like a monkey in the house, and smiled helplessly.
This Lao Tzu cleaned up his son, regardless of age, I am afraid that if Xie Jin reaches ninety-nine, Mrs. Xie will also be able to chase him all over the yard neatly.
Somehow, Xu He looked at Xie Jin, who was only one step faster than Mrs. Xie's legs, but he was still indispensable to take one or two hits of the file, and he felt a little envious in his heart.
"Huhuhu...... Stinky boy, bunny! You...... You...... Run again, tell you to run again! ”
For a long time, I don't know how long Mrs. Xie and his father and son have been chasing each other in this library cabinet, and they have gone around a few circles, but when they both stopped panting, Mrs. Xie still held the file in his hand and knocked Xie Jin on the back a few times.
"Immediately! Right away! Pack up! Then get out! Don't come in again! With an angry face and a little hatred of iron not being made of steel, Mrs. Xie put the file in his hand on the case on the side, panting and brushing his sleeves away with his hands behind his back.
"Oops...... The old man ......" muttered, Xie Jin straightened his turban, straightened his robe, and without saying a word, he began to sort out the scattered files on the ground.
Xu He shook his head, but smiled secretly, and began to help tidy up together.
Scattered for a moment, return to the time of grinding.
Xie Jin and Xu He, the two of them came to the library cabinet early in the morning, rummaging, fighting, and tidying up, so down, the sun has sunk in the west, and the palace gate has reached the time to set the key.
However, this is okay, anyway, both of them will stay in this palace today.
"Huhu...... That's it, huh? There's also a volume of ......"
Xie Jin was embarrassed, and he packed up the library cabinet with Xu He, and just as he slapped his clothes a few times and was about to leave, Xu He grabbed his clothes.
"This seems to be the roll that the old man used to beat me just now, right? It's okay, Ah, you can just find a corner and stuff it in, anyway, no one will read these old files left and right......"
Without waiting for Xie Jin to finish speaking, Xu He silently turned the file in his hand half a circle, and on the black paper seal that was revealed, two words were clearly written on it with gold ink, Lingfeng.
"Great, then let's go to your place first......
I knew that the file in my hand might have been hidden for a long time, so I didn't know where it was hidden, and I asked Mrs. Xie to go to such great lengths to find it for him.
Saying that, Xie Jin and Xu He put this file in the sleeves of their robes, and the two of them carefully left the library cabinet that was usually not patronized by many people.
"Ahhh As soon as the two of them walked on their front feet, the jackdaws that landed on the cabinet of the library on their back feet flew away in fright, and passed away quickly, but they passed the two of them at a low altitude. It was even more as if inadvertently, scraping one of them.
"Shhh...... It's no wonder that no one comes to this library cabinet on weekdays, and the crows are so arrogant! ”
Scratching coldly, Xie Jin subconsciously covered his neck, and when he took it down again, there were already spots of half-dried blood between his fingers.
And the one who started it has long since disappeared.
The two of them didn't think much about this at all, they just thought that they were accidentally walking on weekdays and were cut by branches. The two of them, just caring about the file in their hands, hurriedly walked away.
They didn't know that the jackdaw, which also had blood on its claws, didn't fly far, or even outside the palace.
The sun sets and the day disappears, and the night begins to appear.
As deep and silent as a jackdaw feather, the jackdaw has flown into the palace where there is no daylight, and at this moment, it obediently stopped on a "dead branch", look closely, it is actually a person's finger.
"Hmm...... Good boy, what an obedient ......" The knuckles of the withered branch gently stroked the jackdaw's head, and then, the extension of the withered branch was almost indistinguishable from that of a skeleton, except for a bloody piece of something caught in the palm of a pale skin and fed it into the jackdaw's mouth.
Under the candle flame of the bean-sized candle, the two eyes of the jackdaw reflected the glimmer like two rubies.
Extremely tame, the jackdaw enjoyed the food while rubbing the owner's bamboo and withered index finger, not a little cruel. If it weren't for the blood-colored eyes and the scarlet on the beak. Its owner has almost forgotten the nature of the jackdaw's blood.
"Hmm...... Little girl, you brought something back......" The hoarse voice spoke again, and by the way, a wisp of yellow hair wiped a trace of blood from the claws of the jackdaw.
The hair, which was not stained with much blood, was immediately thrown into the lamp by him. When it encounters fire, it ignites and turns to ash.
"Go to ......" With the sound of the voice, a black silkworm slowly crawled out from under his sleeve, leaving only the muscles and bones, and squirmed, and came to the handful of ashes.
As soon as the black silkworm touched the ash, it was like an ordinary silkworm encountering a mulberry leaf, and devoured it greedily. As it feeds, a blue mark gradually appears on the black silkworm's body. As the black silkworm wriggled, so did the blue mark, as if it were a living thing.
"Oops...... He is really disobedient, he often disturbs my cultivation on weekdays, and today he even stole something out. Little girl, you say, how are you going to punish him? ”
The black silkworm squirmed, once again sedging between his flesh and skin. And the withered fingers began to caress the jackdaw's head again, and the fingertips gently swept over the pair of blood-colored eyes, which was what he liked most about jackdaw.
"Now, though, is not the time. The young and vigorous emperor still needs him...... It's just that sooner or later, no matter what, he can't escape...... Hahaha......"
The hoarse voice laughed, and it became more and more eerie around him.
He straightened his palm, and the jackdaw fluttered its wings and landed on it, obediently moved by him to his shoulder. He also turned in the direction of the wheelchair and walked towards a dark corner.
With the squeaky and squeaking of the spokes of the wheelchair because of the old one, the people who belonged to the night once again disappeared into the corner where there was no light, silently.
On the other side, Xie Jin and Xu He, who stayed in the palace because of their duty, happened to take the opportunity of not being disturbed by outsiders to check the unknown secrets in the house.
Xuanjuan gold seal, fire paint forbidden seal.
Before the two of them opened the dossier and looked at it carefully, they seemed to know how much the contents of it should be unknown to others, otherwise, it would not be so, and after being sealed with two seals on it, they would have to hide it secretly.
Xu was worried about the two seals on the top of the file, Xu He only stared at Xie Jin, seeing that he held it in his hand, but he refused to touch it.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jin was also hesitant, for some reason, he always had a feeling that once he opened the forbidden file, something bad would happen.
"You...... You look first, or ...... Forget it, what are you afraid of these two seals?! It's not that it can't be sealed! ”
Unable to resist his curiosity about the contents of the dossier, and knowing that there must be something for the two of them to investigate in this dossier, Xie Jin simply added appropriate force with both hands, and while breaking the two seals together, he also unfolded the entire dossier.
Under the reflection of the red lights in the room, nearly half of the arm-length dossier was occupied by a half-length faceless Buddha statue, and the rest was a muddy red mixed with the ink of the Buddha statue.
In other words, this dossier was originally written by the author with blood mixed with ink.
From the blinding red, Xie Jin and Xu He vaguely recognized a few twisted scribbles. I recognize it, but I don't recognize it.
It's Sanskrit, and neither of the two is proficient in it.
At the same time, Xu He was not in the emperor's dormitory on duty, a moon-white figure fell from the sky, regardless of whether someone saw him or not, he swept the dust and broke through the palace door with vigor, and he stepped directly into the study where the lights had not been extinguished.
The anger that could not be suppressed along the way made Su Ri good-tempered, and he couldn't calmly face Xuanyuan in front of him who was leisurely drinking tea in front of him.
"Xuanyuan! Without further ado, bring the antidote to the Gu poison in Qi'er's body! ”
