Twenty-four into the palace

After Bai Yi and Red Clothes arrived at the Red Lotus Sect, they were deeply loved by everyone within a few days, and the two of them were still and moving, although they were very different in temperament, but they behaved generously and spoke smartly, from the Holy Aunt to the Dharma Protector, down to the attendants and maids, they were all familiar with the two at first sight, and the relationship was very affectionate.

Bai Yi and Hongshang listened to the teachings of the Red Lotus Sect in the house for a long time with Mo Sixie this day, both of them were engrossed and distracted, Mo Sixie was originally a person who spits lotus flowers and can speak well, seeing that the two of them listened carefully, and their mouths were even more unaware, Bai Yi added tea to Mo Sixie from time to time, and Hongshang did not forget to ask two sentences when he heard the key points. There are two such holy female students, Mo Sixie spoke very happily. Later, Mo Sixie took advantage of the opportunity to ask: "I have talked so much today, what do you know about the teachings of the Red Lotus Sect?" ”

Hongshang was still thinking about it, and Baiyi had quietly replied: "Kill yourself and become a benevolent, and you will not be stained out of the mud." ”

Mo Siye looked at Bai Yi approvingly and said, "Yes, it's rare to have these eight words." It is necessary to know that outside the Red Lotus Sect, there is also the White Lotus Sect, although the name is similar, but in fact it is different, the White Lotus Sect believes in the birthless mother, usually or teaches scriptures and spells, or teaches people to sit in meditation, gathers believers, and gradually gets involved in political affairs since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, even in the present dynasty, there have been several major uprisings. And my Red Lotus Sect, all I still do is the fire lotus, the lotus flower in my heart becomes a fire, I help when I see injustice, and I become the way of heaven with my own body. ”

Bai Yi was still thinking about the meaning of Mo Si's evil words, and Ni Hongshang clapped his hands and laughed: "Master Mo is so powerful, no wonder when I heard that the preaching in the capital, many people were convinced and applauded. ”

Mo Siye was so happy that he saw that the rain outside had stopped early, so he said to the two: "Come here first today, and you can rest for a while." ”

The two hurriedly bowed and retired, and as soon as they went out of the door, they saw a maid waiting outside the door, and when they saw the two, they smiled and said, "It just so happens that the holy aunt has invited two." ”

The white clothes and red clothes followed the maid to the conference hall, but found that Cheng Shilong was also there, and the two hurriedly bowed to meet them.

Waiting for the two of them to sit down, Ma Qingxue looked at the two of them, and still said the result agreed with Cheng Shilong just now: "White clothes, red clothes, you two have been at the main altar for ten years, and there is an important matter that needs to be done by one person, this matter is very important, but if the matter is revealed, I am afraid that there will be a worry about my life, you two, who wants to take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, but seeing that Ma and Shang looked serious, knowing that it was not a joke, they glanced at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to be sent by the Holy Aunt, but we have an order, and we dare not disobey." ”

Seeing such an attitude of the two, Ma Qingxue and Cheng Shilong looked at each other and smiled, the vision back then was right, both of them were people who could take on great responsibilities.

Ma Qingxue continued: "It's good that you two are like this, but this errand not only needs to be bold, but also careful, if someone finds out about the horse's feet, it will not only harm your own life, but also delay the Red Lotus Sect's major events." ”

She looked at the two of them and said slowly, "I want you to look at this council room now, but what do you find?" ”

This chamber is about the size of a house and a half, a screen is hung against the wall in the middle, there is a red lotus on it, there is a couplet on the left and right, the upper link is "red lotus and blue marsh, raising the righteousness of heaven and earth", the lower link is "the white moon and the breeze, go to the suffering of the world", the long case is empty, nothing is put, there is an eight-immortal table in front of the long case, there is a pot on the eight-immortal table, next to it are two cups, Ma Qingxue sits on the chair on the left, Cheng Shilong sits on the chair on the right, there are four chairs on each side of the front hall, and the white clothes and red clothes sit on the two chairs on the right, just under Ma Qingxue.

After about half a cup of tea, Hongshang saw that Bai Yi had been silent, his eyes turned around flexibly, and he said playfully: "Let me tell you first, the position where I sit is usually the position where the master of the Mo Hall usually sits?" ”

Ma Qingxue smiled and bowed: "Exactly, how do you know?" ”

Hongshang was very happy when she saw it, and her face was full of bright smiles: "Master Mo is slightly fat, and he likes to shake around when he speaks, I sit in this chair, my back is very smooth, and my legs are a little shaky." ”

Ma Qingxue nodded and said, "Yes, it's really smart, it can be seen that I have also studied it intensively in Siling Mountain." Then he said to Bai Yi, "Bai Yi, what have you found?" ”

Bai Yi replied respectfully: "Since the seat where the red dress sits is often sat by Hall Master Mo, then the chair opposite is often sat by Hall Master Bai. She paused for a moment to explain: "The white hall master is burly, I see that the blue brick in front of the chair has a slight dent, like the heel grinds out, according to the distance from the chair, only the height of the white hall master matches, but, I don't know if I guessed right?" ”

Ma Qingxue bowed: "What you said is also good. What else? ”

Hongshang seemed to have returned to the situation where Si Ling Mountain was being studied for homework, and her heart was excited and excited, and her voice trembled a little: "Shang Protector has very good hearing. This time, she didn't wait for Ma Qingxue to ask, and explained directly: "I haven't reported it to Bai Yi outside the house, and the Shang Protector directly asked the maid to make tea, which shows that I knew that we were coming, and I guess that the Shang Protector knew that we had arrived thirty steps away." She spoke faster and faster, until there was no pause.

Bai Yi added beside him: "The Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector should have been discussing in the house for more than an hour, the Holy Aunt usually has a habit, after three cups of tea, the cup will be pushed to the side of the body a foot away, according to the speed of the Holy Aunt drinking tea, it should also be an hour." ”

Cheng Shilong listened with great satisfaction: "Yes, in such a short time, with such insight, it can be regarded as careful." ”

The white clothes and the red clothes did not get carried away after hearing this, which made Ma Qingxue and Jackie Shilong appreciate the two even more.

Ma Qingxue looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "You two are as careful as a hair, you are good, now the Dharma Protector is going to try your two kung fu, be careful." ”

As soon as she said the word "careful", she saw Cheng Shilong's figure flicker, and two hidden weapons shot out of his hands, flying straight towards the two. Bai Yi shrank his body in an instant, but his hands copied the secret weapon, Cheng Shilong used about seventy percent of his strength, Bai Yi put the hidden weapon in his sleeve, and unfolded it to see, it turned out to be a small copper coin. Looking at the red dress again, he was a little embarrassed, although he also took the hidden weapon in his hand, a lock of hair on his sideburns was swept down, and his face was a little pale.

Cheng Shilong said secretly: Being able to catch my copper coin at such a short distance, the kung fu in his hands can also be regarded as good, if it is judged by martial arts, Bai Yi is slightly better.

Bai Yi turned around to help Hongshang straighten her hair, but Hongshang looked at Cheng Shilong with admiration, and couldn't help but say: "Shang Protector, your kung fu is really powerful, I don't know when I can practice like you." ”

Ma Qingxue smiled when she heard this: "Hongshang, both of you are quite good at mental kung fu, and when I was the same age as you, I barely counted half a catty and eight taels with you." ”

Cheng Shilong said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Red Lotus Sect can only catch my copper coins, and there are only twenty people at most. The two of you are indeed worthy of the title of saint. ”

Bai Yi stepped forward and saluted: "Holy Aunt, Dharma Protector, Bai Yi still wants to bargain, let me go on this errand." ”

Hongshang also hurriedly stepped forward: "Let me go about this." ”

Seeing that the two of them were scrambling to ask for this dangerous errand, Ma Qingxue's heart was agitated: "Good boy, the Dharma Protector and I both understand your affection. ”

Baiyi's eyes were bright, and he looked at Ma Qingxue: "Holy Aunt, let's speculate on yourself, does this matter need to be done by an inconspicuous person?" ”

Ma Qingxue said strangely: "How do you know about this? But he secretly agreed in his heart: if you want to hide in the palace, you must not be blind, otherwise, someone will already be discovered.

Bai Yi is not good to say, after entering the house, Cheng Shilong looked at himself intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to say: "If this is the case, I am a little quieter, and I am the most suitable person." ”

Ma Qingxue glanced at Cheng Shilong out of the corner of her eye, nodded lightly to herself, and said to Bai Yi: "In this case, you will work hard and take on this errand." When he turned around, he ordered the man to bring the red robe down.

When Bai Yi saw Hongsheng leaving, he looked like he wanted to tell himself, and made a gesture to Hongsheng, telling her not to worry.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, Ma Qingxue slowly said something to Bai Yi, which made Bai Yi thrilling:

"Half a month ago, someone in the palace found us, saying that he watched the sky at night, the emperor star will fall, the world will be in chaos, the world will fall on him, he hopes to join forces with the Red Lotus Sect to save the people from fire and water, the Red Lotus Sect has a lot of prestige in the capital, but for him to announce this to the people of the world, and when it comes to August, there will be auspicious signs in the capital, and it will be on him at that time."

There was silence in the room, and Bai Yi could only hear his own heartbeat.

Cheng Shilong continued: "The man said that he was ready for everything, and when someone announced this destiny, everything would be at his fingertips." The Red Lotus Sect has always had a very distant relationship with the imperial court, and has never been willing to get involved in this matter, and it is estimated that the person also knows these inside information, so he wants to borrow the reputation that the Red Lotus Sect has built over the years. Looking at it now, this is not something we can dodge if we want to. The previous emperor favored Concubine Wan, after Concubine Wan died this spring, the emperor had no intention of doing anything, the people's livelihood in the world was withering, the officialdom was dark, the crown prince has always been a thorn in the heart and a thorn in the eye of Concubine Wan, for so many years, it would be good to keep her life, and there was no real power, and now a big chaos is imminent. My aunt and I had no intention of joining forces with that person, but I don't know what the character of the crown prince is, white, I want you to sneak into the palace, pretend to be a palace maid, and find out whether the crown prince can afford to take on the heavy responsibility of the world. ”

After Bai Yi heard this, the sweat wet the little clothes, but despite this, she still said in a deep voice: "Bai Yi will not fail in her mission." ”
