Chapter 21: Li Wanqing's Scheme
"The prince is gone?" Li Wanqing took off her shirt, Shuang'er hurriedly took it and hung it up, and said, "Yes, miss, I just left not long ago." ”
Tucked the quilt for her, and Shuang'er asked again: "Why doesn't Miss go with Shizi, maybe there will be clues." ”
Li Wanqing glanced at her, moved her body again, and said, "You don't understand, I tested him, he doesn't know anything about those things. The only one who wanted to know those two people was the old prince, but over the years, the emperor didn't know how many times he had tried it, and the old prince had never revealed half of it......"
"And how can we find out?" said Frost, a little deflated.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure, if their relationship is really so close, then those two people will definitely appear!" Li Wanqing said with confidence. Seeing that Shuang'er didn't understand, she motioned for her to come forward and whispered in her ear, hearing that Shuang'er showed a cunning look.
"Miss's trick is really high, so the frost will arrange it, and make sure that you don't show your face. Li Wanqing also looked proud, and with a "hmm" sound, she asked Shuang'er to extinguish the candle flame and fall asleep.
。。。。。。。。。。
The next morning, Tang Wanwan rarely got up early in the morning, and she was so curious that she didn't sleep all night, thinking about whether the place Gu Zichun was going to take her to was as magical as he said.
When he opened the door, he found that he was not the earliest, and An Yichen had already shook off his fan with a landscape drawing and stood at the railing. Tang Wanwan thought to himself that this person can really pretend, it is autumn now, and it is still a little cold to get up early, looking at the speed of his shaking fan, others will mistakenly think that it is still a hot day.
"Morning!" An Yichen turned around to say hello to her when she heard the door open, but she went to wake up her brother without smiling. It was he who said that he would get up earlier to see the wonders, and he was the one who got up the latest, alas, Tang Wanwan was a little speechless.
After a burst of verbal artillery attack, Gu Zichun got up lazily and drove his sister out. After a freshen up, the sun is almost out. Gu Zichun still wanted to eat breakfast, but was dragged out of the Anyue Inn by his grumpy sister, and asked him to point the way, and the group rushed to the location of the "wonder" he said.
There were a lot of people along the way, most of them went in the same direction, Gu Zichun said to Tang Wan: "You see that you don't need to ask your brother to get up and take you at all, as long as you follow the flow of people, it won't be long before you arrive." ”
Tang Wan glanced at him, and in a blink of an eye, he took his hand and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Don't, if you don't go, no one will describe the strangeness of this landscape to us in detail, so what's the point of us seeing, right?"
"Huh... Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let's go, the sun won't be able to see it all. Gu Zichun deliberately urged with a straight face, no matter that there was a big prince by his side, he was even a little proud, now they all have to listen to his command, who called him the number one ranger in the world, haha.
"Eh, it's here, it's here, we're here!" Tang Wanwan saw the crowd stop, and he knew that he had arrived at his destination. Without waiting for the rest of the people to react, she desperately squeezed forward alone, Gu Zichun and the others had no time to stop it, so they had to follow the pink figure and slowly pass over there, but fortunately, they finally found her and didn't lose her.
Gu Zichun complained to her a few words, in order not to ruin her fun, he didn't talk about her to death like usual, but just asked her to grab her sleeve and never let go.
Tang Wanwan looked forward on tiptoe, and after a while, she was deflated, and said to Gu Zichun coyly: "Brother, this is the strange scene you are talking about, isn't it just a big pool with a few lotus flowers growing on it, what's so strange!"
As soon as these words came out, the people not far from them all stared at her angrily, which made the second monk Tang Wanzhang confused, could she be wrong?
Gu Zichun hurriedly pulled her forward and whispered to her: "Shhh, be quiet, you don't know, what you just said almost caused others to attack." ”
"Why?" she looked at her brother with some confusion.
Gu Zichun sighed and said, "It's no wonder I forgot to tell you yesterday, this pool is the patron saint in the hearts of the townspeople, and they don't allow others to blaspheme her." Seeing several people surrounding him, all looking uncertain, he looked up and felt that the sun was about to come out, and he whispered, "You'll know later." ”
Sure enough, when a sunrise peeked out of the skyline and slowly rose upward, there was a silent silence all around. Everyone looked ahead, looking between the sun and the great pool.
Just when Tang Wanwan was a little curious about what was going on, the sun's rays had quietly shone on this pool, and suddenly, the entire water surface was shining with golden light, and the lotus flower also turned golden, and then the pool water was also inexplicably turbulent, and then a seven-colored rainbow hung on the top of the blue pool, which looked like a dream.
People held their breath and watched the spectacle in silence. The residents of the town all knelt down in unison, and seemed to be praying for something, Tang Wanwan couldn't really hear it, and looking around, those who didn't kneel down might be like them, newcomers.
Some of those people also knelt down, Gu Zichun pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her to follow the customs, Tang Wanwan was refreshing, he knelt down suddenly, and his kneecaps hurt all the time, seeing her grinning teeth, Gu Zichun couldn't help laughing, and when he saw someone looking at him, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
In that quarter of an hour, this scene dissipated, and when Tang Wanwan looked at it again, the pool water had regained its calm, but the originally clear and bright water suddenly turned black, Tang Wanwan rubbed his eyes with some disbelief, only to realize that he was not mistaken.
An Yichen is also out of the palace for the first time, if he hadn't "pretended to be crazy and stupid" in front of his father, how could he have the opportunity to witness this ink pool wonder, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
The mayor of the town stood up first, he would come here every morning to worship the ink pool, this is the custom of their ink pond town for hundreds of years, you know, the wind and rain here are smooth, there has never been a drought or waterlogging, they all think that this ink pool is guarded by the gods, so they have also been blessed.
"Huh... What is that person scooping water for?" Tang Wanwan saw that someone was scooping up the pool water with a water scoop, so he asked his brother with some confusion.
"Oh, it's for those who need it, and it says it can cure all diseases and keep them safe. ”
"Then why do you still have to give silver?" An Yichen, who looked at the people lining up in a long line, also asked with some puzzlement.
"You see, there is a temple of ink gods by the ink pond, and the temple enshrines their ink gods, and the silver is donated to the temple for incense, and if they meet the poor, the presiding officer of the temple will take it out to help them, but ordinary people dare not ask for it, for fear of offending the gods. Gu Zichun explained.
Tang Wanwan was a little amused in his heart, and said in his heart: "This is just a natural phenomenon, as for curing diseases and keeping safe, she doesn't believe it, but this pool water may contain some special minerals, which has changed their color, and it just so happens that some people drink it, supplementing a certain type of trace elements needed by the human body, making people stronger, that's all." ”
It's just that she didn't say these words, and the ancients didn't understand them, once she said them, she would inevitably be beaten up by them, and it would be worth the loss to think about it.
"Ziyan?" While Tang Wanwan was thinking, Gu Zichun suddenly shouted something in his mouth to push aside the crowd and walk in the direction of the Mochi Temple.
"Hmm... What is purple?" Tang Wanwan was closest to him, and when he heard whose name his brother seemed to call, before she could understand, Gu Zichun had already walked away, she hurriedly followed, and said hurriedly: "Brother, where are you going?" It's just that Gu Zichun blindly moved forward and didn't answer her.
Tang Wanwan chased in front of the team, because she didn't squeeze over for a while, seeing her brother walking farther and farther, she could only stomp her feet and hurry.
An Yichen followed first, and when he saw this scene, he took Tang Wanwan's hand and said, "Follow me." ”
took her all the way, and finally came to the front of the Mochi Temple, but where is Gu Zichun's figure?
Tang Wanwan shook off his hand, became a little anxious, and said, "Where did that stupid go, I'm really anxious!" Tang Wanwan went out of the valley for the first time, and she was still a little panicked when she left Gu Zichun on the territory of this unfamiliar ancient unknown dynasty.
"Don't worry, let's go to the temple to look for it first, maybe Brother Gu has something to do in the temple." An Yichen comforted her softly. Tang Wanwan thought about it and felt that he had a point, so he called Lingzhi and that Mo Yi to look around. But after a few laps, how can there be any shadow of Gu Zichun, Tang Wanwan can't help but want to cry, the only brother she can rely on has also run away, how will she go to the rivers and lakes next!
An Yichen carefully comforted her, and asked Mo Yi and Lingzhi to continue to look around, while he took Tang Wanwan back to Anyue Inn, maybe Brother Gu would go back to the inn to meet them, he persuaded Tang Wanwan to do this.
Obeying King Yi's arrangement, Tang Wanwan wiped his tears from time to time and followed him back to the inn, An Yichen laughed in his heart, "This girl is a married person, and she is like a child who has been abandoned when she leaves her brother, crying like a tearful person." "But he still thinks it's rare for her to be like this, but in this life... Thinking of this, I am inevitably a little disappointed......
At ten o'clock in the evening, Mo Yi and Lingzhi returned to the inn one after another, looking at Tang Wanwan's expectant expression, both of them shook their heads a little dejectedly. Tang Wanwan's eyes immediately burst into tears, and his expression suddenly fell.
"Miss, don't be sad, Childe may have encountered something to deal with, maybe he will come back soon. ”
"Really?" Lingzhi saw her so sad, and had to continue to coax her, saying, "Really, it's impossible for Childe to leave Miss alone." ”
"That's too. If Daddy and Mother found out, they would definitely beat him up!" Tang Wanwan suddenly waved his fist and said angrily. After being hungry for a day, she decided to fill her stomach first, so she called the shopkeeper to come and eat, and the four of them ate at the same table, and sat and waited for an hour.
An Yichen was afraid that she would be sad again, so he asked Lingzhi to hurry up and follow and told her to take care of her. Together with Mo Yi, he decided to go out again to find out, without such an experienced companion, he couldn't accept the reality.
Unconsciously, several days have passed, Tang Wanwan has been sitting in the pavilion in the front yard of the inn every day waiting for news, and Lingzhi and they have all gone out to look for someone, and they have discussed that if they still can't find it today, they will have to leave to find it somewhere else. In a few days, the entire town was about to be rummaged by them, and Gu Zichun seemed to have evaporated from the world.
It's just that Tang Wanwan waited left and right, but suddenly saw Lingzhi running in in a hurry, saying that he had found the figure of the other two people......
