The night sinks like water, and there is silence.

After Mama Liao cleaned the Queen Mother with Bodhi water according to what Suiyun said, she changed into a clean monk's robe.

The ritual was carried out in the front hall of the temple, and Lin Mumu stood behind Liao Mama and the others and waited outside the front hall.

The Queen Mother was placed under a Buddha statue, and after a while, a group of monks led by Master Suiyun came out and formed a circle around the Queen Mother.

A bronze bell rang with a "bang", and the time came.

Suiyun presided over the monks with their hands folded and recited scriptures in their mouths that people couldn't understand.

Lin Mumu does not have any religious beliefs, but it is not that she has never heard monks chanting, in the past, she would also go to some famous temples for vacation in her spare time, listening to the chanting of monks, at that time she would feel that the distractions of the whole body were calmed down, and the body and mind were greatly relaxed.

But today, for some reason, listening to the chanting sound from the front hall, she only felt a pain in her brain.

At this time, there was a sudden "boom" in the front hall, and everyone's eyes showed a different color, only to see the queen mother, who was originally lying flat, suddenly sat up straight, like the zombies she had seen in some movies and television in the past!

Especially in such an atmosphere, it looks particularly scary.

Suiyun stood up from the futon, hung the Buddhist beads around his neck on the queen mother's neck, and then began to recite the scriptures while walking beside the queen mother, and after a while, the queen mother fell back again.

The chanting voice presided over by Sui Yun also stopped abruptly.

"Amitabha."

After Master Sui Yun walked out of the front hall, Mama Liao and the others hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, how is the Queen Mother?"

Master Suiyun clasped his hands together. "All donors rest assured, the poor monks and others have expelled the evil from the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will wake up after tonight."

"That's great, thank you, Master, thank you."

Mama Liao asked the Queen Mother to be carefully carried back to the guest house, and the rest of the people also returned to their posts or went back to rest.

With Suiyun hosting, there is nothing to do with Lin Mumu, and she also returned to her guest house.

She hadn't slept much since last night, and although her body was very tired, Lin Mumu couldn't sleep at all.

Since Huang Ying's death, no matter how you look at what happened after that, there is a strange thing, everything seems to have nothing in common, but it happens to happen in the time before and after, is this all a coincidence?

There is also the mine in the deep mountains, Lin Mumu believes that there is no impermeable wall in this world, the mine is behind the Thousand Buddha Temple, and the monks in the Thousand Buddha Temple have lived in the mountains for so many years, haven't they found anything abnormal? After all, it is impossible to open a mountain for mining, and there is no movement at all.

I thought a lot about it, and when it was almost dawn, Lin Mumu fell asleep in a daze.

On the other side, Zhao Xuanling also received the news from the secret guard.

"Lord Wang, there's news from Miss Lin's side again."

Mingyang walked into the house with two notes, one written by Lin Mumu himself, and the other was sent by the secret guard.

"Two copies?" Zhao Xuanling looked at the two pieces of news and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, there is a reply from Miss Lin to the prince."

"Reply?" Zhao Xuanling's eyebrows softened in an instant, and she knew that she had replied to him.

Zhao Xuanling stretched out his hand, and first took Lin Mumu's reply to him and opened it.

Ming Yang, who had been secretly observing Zhao Xuanling's expression, thought that he was about to see the sun, after all, before Miss Lin sent the message, the chill on the prince's body could almost freeze to death.

But Mingyang didn't stay happy for long, and found that the temperature around him seemed to be lower!

Look at Zhao Xuanling again, where is there any reply in his hand at this time, only paper ashes are left!

Zhao Xuanling thought about the words "guess" on the reply, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently.

"The king, the prince?"

The dark eyes glared at him suddenly, and Mingyang shivered fiercely.

Even though tears were raining down in his heart, Mingyang still gritted his teeth and handed the secret guard's message forward.

Zhao Xuanling took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and opened the message from the secret guard.

"There are people digging mines in Thousand Buddha Mountain."

Lin Mumu's private message to Zhao Xuanling Mingyang didn't dare to read it, but he wanted to know the news from the secret guard first.

"Yes, Lord Wang, the subordinates of that place have also been there once, behind the Thousand Buddha Mountain is a large mountain forest, the mountain is high and deep, I didn't expect that there is a mine hidden in it." Judging from the news from the dark guard, this mine has been digging for several years, hasn't anyone found out?

"Iron ore." Zhao Xuanling's dark eyes narrowed.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the sale and transmission of iron had to be reported to the imperial court, that is, ordinary people had to go to the yamen to register when they bought a pot, just because iron was an important raw material mainly used for forging weapons in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Yes, the mine should not be small, otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to dig for so many years."

Zhao Xuanling's bony fingertips tapped on the table. "Who is in charge of Jingzhou Mansion?"

"Shangguan Feng."

Shangguan Feng, the eldest son of Wen Bohou, is also Zhao Hanjun's maternal uncle.

"When did you go?"

"Two years ago, this year I will be in office for three years."

"Send someone to find out what he's doing."

"Yes."

"Lord Wang." Hui's voice rang out outside the door.

"Come in."

Hui walked into the house. "Lord Wang, those bandits have been hiding on the other side of the cliff, and there has been no movement at all these days."

Zhao Xuanling's eyelids were raised, and the corners of his lips were lightly hooked. "It's almost time, take out the things you prepared before, and this king will see how long they can hide."

"Yes."

Hui received the order and quickly retreated.

"How's the arrangement over there, Master Huikong?"

"Back to the prince, everything is arranged."

"Do what you planned."

"Yes." Mingyang also retreated.

……

After Lin Mumu finished breakfast in the guest room, Yu'er said that the Queen Mother had woken up, and in order to ensure that the Queen Mother was safe, Lin Mumu still needed to go over to see the situation.

When Lin Mumu arrived at the Queen Mother's house, Mama Liao was feeding the Queen Mother porridge.

"See the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Mama Liao withdrew the breakfast and brought tea to rinse the Queen Mother's mouth.

"Get up."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Let the lower officials diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded, Lin Mumu stepped forward, and when she approached, she secretly observed the Queen Mother's face.

In addition to the fact that the queen mother's lips are a little pale, her eyebrows and eyes are calm, and she has returned to her previous appearance, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes yesterday, she really couldn't have imagined that the queen mother would have such a time out of control.

Judging from the pulse, the Queen Mother has no problem.

"The Queen Mother is frightened, and she still needs to recuperate these days, and the Queen Mother only needs to relax her heart medicine and don't need to take it."

"That's good, sad

I can't stand the smell of medicine anymore. The Queen Mother's tone was light, and there was nothing unusual when she looked at it.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the leader of the horse arrived.

The Queen Mother's health is no longer in serious trouble, but what the leader of the horse has to do is not finished.

"The lower officials see the Queen Mother."

Unlike Lin Mumu, the Queen Mother did not let the horse leader who was kneeling on the ground get up, but looked at him with a blank expression. "Leader Ma, are you here to ask the mourning family for your guilt?"

The leader of the horse stiffened, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. "The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and I ask the Queen Mother to punish them."

"You are indeed derelict in your duty."

The cold sweat on the forehead of the horse leader flowed down instantly, don't look at the queen mother's kindness now, but after all, she is the queen mother of a country, just the breath is enough to make people dare not come out.

"But it's also the mourning family themselves who are to blame for this." Just when everyone thought that the Queen Mother was going to punish the leader of the horse, the Queen Mother's attitude changed, and her tone became more light.

"Queen Mother, don't say that, it's all the fault of the lower officials."

The Queen Mother shook her head and began to tell the situation. "At that time, the mourning family followed Master Yun to practice by the stream, but for some reason there seemed to be a voice calling the mourning family in his ears, and when the mourning family opened his eyes, he didn't see Master Suiyun beside him, so he thought she was calling the mourning family, so he didn't think much about it and walked over directly to the voice......"

According to what the Queen Mother said, the more she walked, the clearer she felt the voice calling for herself, and then a fog appeared in front of her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark, and all she saw was a group of blue-faced and fanged demons rushing towards her, and she was so frightened that her soul flew into the sky.

"At that time, the mourning family tried hard to escape, but no matter how they ran, they couldn't run out of that ghost place......" is now, the Queen Mother was still frightened at the scene, and Mama Liao was also frightened when she heard it, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand and softly comforted.

Except for Lin Mumu and the leader of the horse, the rest of the people present were convinced of the Queen Mother's words.

Lin Mumu doesn't believe that there are any ghosts and monsters in this world, if there is, she also met on the mountain last night, and the leader of the horse was mixed with a certain position in the forbidden army, he doesn't know how many people's blood is stained on his hands, otherwise he can't take on the role of escorting the queen mother, and people who have seen blood will naturally not believe in these things like ordinary people, but neither of them spoke.

"Mama Liao, the order of the mourning family went down and sealed the mountain behind the Thousand Buddha Temple, and no one was allowed to enter it without permission."

In a flash, the Queen Mother's sudden order made Lin Mumu raise her head.

At this time, the horse leader did not pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. "Did the Queen Mother let the lower officials seal the mountain?"

"That's right, this kind of ghostly thing happened in my Eastern Jin Dynasty, wouldn't it make people laugh if it was spread out?"

The head of the Yizhi horse under the mouth of the Queen Mother naturally did not dare to disobey, but sealing the mountain was not something he could do, after all, the Qianfoshan Mountain was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou Mansion, and it was more appropriate for the local officials of Jingzhou Mansion to do this, anyway, the officials of Jingzhou Mansion had already received the Queen Mother's Thousand Buddha Mountain, and I didn't know how many times I wanted to go to the Queen Mother to say hello to the Queen Mother, and now I happened to have something to do for them.

This is a good opportunity to perform in front of the Queen Mother, and Chief Ma believes that those officials will definitely implement the Queen Mother's decree perfectly!

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it."

Lin Mumu followed the horse leader out of the queen mother's guest room, and the moment the guest room door behind him closed, Lin Mumu looked back at the closed door with heavy eyes.
