Chapter 17 Tacit Understanding
Yuan Jiyue returned to the lobby.
Add a chopstick tofu to Dong Manman, who drank porridge silently, and he could eat some of the light tofu. Yuan Jiyue took back her chopsticks and asked softly, "Do you know why I let you listen to it?" ”
Dong Manman scooped up the tofu mixed with white porridge, blinked his eyes and said, "Does Master want Manman to follow you to investigate the case?" ”
"Now that you have entered Shumen, you will do what a monk should do. For example, you need to subdue the spirit monsters that are harmful, but not all the spirits will appear directly in front of you and wait for you to fight, you need to find them. Yuan Jiyue painstakingly taught, "They hid very deeply after committing crimes, and the process of finding them can be called investigation." In addition to learning spells, you must also learn to follow clues to find them. ”
Dong Manman said obediently: "Manman listened very carefully. ”
Yuan Jiyue was relieved.
Originally, she planned to let Dong Manman practice spells on the mountain first, and then go out to travel after she was successful, and the burden of subduing demons and eliminating demons was in the back row. However, since the case has been sent to the front, let Dong Manman investigate it first.
There is still her on the left and right, and there is no need for Dong Manman to rush up when she moves.
He can learn slowly, and if he can't figure it out, she can talk about it, and if she can't figure it out, the two of them can discuss it.
She was not hungry, so she raised her chin and said to him, "What have you understood in the long time you have been listening, and what are your doubts?" ”
Considering the need to teach gradually, she added: "Just say what you want, don't be afraid of not being able to say it accurately." ”
Dong Manman thought about it for a long time with a spoon in his mouth before he said, "Is it because the girl has encountered a ghost, but the high priest has died, so she invited the master to catch the ghost?" ”
Yuan Jiyue corrected: "Many people love to call it a ghost, and the monk must call it a ghost. ”
Dong Yuanyuan changed his words and said, "I guess the master doesn't think it's the soul that is causing chaos. ”
"How?"
Spit out the spoon, Dong Manman focused on recalling the picture of Fang Cai. Put forward your own opinion: "I kept watching Master's look when I listened. When she finally comforted the girl, the master did not say anything like that he would definitely catch the soul and prevent her from making trouble. Manman felt that the master thought that she had met a disfigured palace maid. ”
"You know me, and you can guess my mind with just a few words." Yuan Jiyue took out the drawings she had collected during the day from her sleeve.
The paper was pressed into the gap in the middle of the saucer, and when he turned the direction, the formation was facing Dong Manman, and said, "That's what I think." Just this piece of paper. ”
Dong Manman probed curiously, tilting his head and not being famous.
"The formation drawn above is called the Nine Evil Array, and it is a formation used to protect the house." Yuan Jiyue pointed at the drawings, and knocked her nails twice in one part, "Priest Chen is the one who covered the palace with the Seven Evil Arrays. You see, if the two ends are not connected, there is a path left for those who have passed away in the palace to walk freely in the palace. If you want to connect, non-humans will not be able to step into the palace, and the violators will be wiped out. ”
She asked Dong Manman to look carefully, and the lines on the paper were connected.
It proves that Priest Chan used the latter.
"If it's ......," Dong Manman pondered, "It's a very powerful soul!" ”
"If you break hard, the formation will be broken. I've found out, and there's nothing wrong with the formation... Don't wait for the meal to get cold. He was too focused, and Yuan Jiyue urged him to continue to eat most of the porridge left in the bowl, "Yu'er met a person, but I want to know if this person is the biological mother of the saint." ”
Dong Manman didn't pay attention to the royal affairs, and said innocently: "How could Miss Yu'er not recognize the Queen Mother." ”
Silly boy, they are not talking about the same queen mother.
Yuan Jiyue told Dong Manman word for word what Ran Ming revealed when he looked for her. Rearranging the event while rearranging.
There can be no soul in the palace.
It wasn't what Yu'er encountered, and it wasn't the one who claimed to be the Empress Dowager Luo's soul to accompany Ran Ming.
is also wearing a veil and a gorgeous costume, and the person who met the girl and the self-proclaimed Empress Dowager Luo is likely to be the same person.
It's the Empress Dowager Luo who has an inside story, in fact, she didn't die back then, and there are people who pretend to lurk around Ran Ming with ulterior motives!
For more than ten years, I have not shown my feet, I will come when I say it, and I will leave when I say it!
Dong Manman thought hard for a while, helpless against the bizarre situation at the moment. Asked dryly, "Master... What's next? ”
Yuan Jiyue replied to him with one word: "Wait." ”
Waiting for whom?
"Wait for the saint to come up." Yuan Jiyue put aside a lot of confusion in the back of her mind and bit a clue, "After confirming that what Lu'er saw is the same person as the so-called Empress Dowager Luo, we will make a plan." ”
Ran Ming is extremely concerned about this matter, and will definitely come to inquire about the progress from time to time.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Ran Ming came to the Star Picking Tower.
As soon as he was in a hurry, he walked briskly to the west, and he didn't change his dragon robe. When the emperor wants to be majestic and cannot run, he can only increase the length of his stride, and the beads on the crown of his hair sway with his steps.
The moon door turned out to be open.
He only raised his foot and stepped over the threshold when he noticed that the door of the lobby was also open, and when he looked closer, there were three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table in the hall.
Yuan Jiyue spotted him at a glance and arched her hand: "Are you lucky enough to eat with the saint?" ”
The two of them had been waiting for him for a long time.
Ran Ming smiled dumbly and strode forward: "Immortal Master has a good mind. ”
"The holy filial piety can also be seen in heaven." Yuan Jiyue pushed Dong Manman out with her backhand, "Bow your head and bow your hand, and your waist is straight." When the monks saw people, regardless of their status, they treated them with half courtesy. ”
Dong Manman did so.
Ran Ming held his hand down and led the two of them to their seats.
It was not yet dawn when he was in the morning, and he did not have the habit of eating before the court, and he always served the meal after the court. Today, if you have a longing and no appetite, you will go straight to the Star Picking Tower.
He held up his chopsticks and gave each of them a piece of green pastry, but he didn't drop a piece on his plate.
He was the most able to control his temperament, and did not disturb them to eat.
Yuan Jiyue didn't move her chopsticks, and said bluntly: "There was indeed a breakthrough last night. ”
"Tell me about it." She started, and Ran Ming took over the conversation logically, "I can't ask Lu'er in person, the words I hear from other people's mouths are reversed, and I have no clue." ”
Even if he asked in person, it would be useless. If there is only a donkey, there is no breakthrough.
was deceived by a lie from childhood to adulthood, if he had known earlier, he was afraid that he would not be able to maintain his current enthusiasm and innocence.
I can't tell him the truth yet, and I'm going to have to make him confused for a few more days.
She asked, "How is Empress Dowager Luo dressed?" ”
Empress Dowager Luo's dress was engraved on Ran Ming's heart early, and she came as soon as she opened her mouth: "My mother wears an apricot veil, wears a yellow flowing cloud and xia dress, wears a gold silk agate necklace around her neck, a pure gold phoenix hairpin and two pearl silk flowers on her head, and the shoes are cloud brocade embroidered and Tilian flowers." I've never seen my mother's hands, but she must have had a matching set of gold and jade bracelets on her wrists. ”
The jewelry pattern he said was unique in the palace, and Yuan Jiyue couldn't imagine the picture from his words, but the yellow clothes and shiny jewelry were enough.
A long list of words made Ran Ming's mouth dry, Baique brought him a bowl of soup, and he took a sip: "How is the immortal master interested in this?" ”
"It's just that it's a step closer to determining that it is the Empress Dowager Luo who appears in the imperial garden."
This point has always been uncontroversial in Ran Ming's opinion. He just responded: "What is the breakthrough that the Immortal Master said?" ”
"I can't tell the Holy One yet." Yuan Jiyue lowered her eyes and stared at the patterns on the plate, pretending not to see what he was expecting, "Give me some time." Please also ask the Holy Majesty to allow me to enter and leave the palaces freely, and I will go and investigate. ”
"The High Priest's token had already been given to the Immortal Master, and the Immortal Master could have gone to any corner of the palace. There is no need to report to anyone. Ran Ming was eager to know the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Luo, but since he had Yuan Jiyue fully responsible, he should respect the will of others, so he was silent, "After the immortal master finds out, please inform me!" ”
Yuan Jiyue promised to come down.
Ran Ming's trip was not in vain, he finally saw the hope of finding Empress Dowager Luo.
As the king of a country, there are always a bunch of things waiting for him to decide, and there are endless folds piled up in the study, there is no need for him to stay in the Star Picking Tower, and he can't stay here to waste time, he has to leave after eating this meal.
Before going out, he said kindly: "The immortal master is not familiar with the palace, if you need it, you can come to me directly." ”
Yuan Ji arrived at the beginning of the month, and he couldn't figure out the road in the palace, and he couldn't tell which hall was in which direction.
She couldn't confess that she was looking for Splendid Garden, for fear that the news would go out and startle the snakes. Originally, she wanted to walk around the palace to find it, but now she has a better idea.
She no longer said politely: "There is really something to trouble the Holy Lord now." I dare to ask someone who is familiar with the terrain of the palace to draw a map, so that I don't have to spend time on the road. ”
"The immortal master is in a hurry, and it takes time to find someone to paint. The palace was also man-made, and there must have been drawings when it was built. Ran Ming pointed to the hanging sparrow, "Can you stay?" ”
"The map does have a copy in the Holy Place." Baique did not raise his eyes behind him and said, "The slave and maid went to find and send it." ”
Ran Ming sighed: "My aunt is an old man, and she is safe and neat." was able to see the immortal master, and it also depended on my aunt's good arrangement. ”
Baique bowed respectfully and said, "The saint carries love." ”
Yuan Jiyue sent the two away.
The door was closed without a deadbolt.
After getting the information about where the Fairview Garden is located, they can go directly to check it, and they have nothing to do until the drawings are sent.
Dong Manman moved forward step by step, his steps were small and he walked slowly. Yuan Jiyue could take two or three steps against him in one step, and deliberately slowed down to walk with him to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard.
The cool breeze on the face is very comfortable and keeps people sane.
After saying goodbye to the wind-blown hair, Yuan Jiyue curled her fingers and scraped Dong Manman's nose: "What do you think?" ”
Dong Manman said "Hmm": "He is a saint, if we tell him about our discovery, wouldn't it be more convenient to have his help?" ”
"The emperor is the king of the human world, and if he makes a mistake, it is enough to cause a sensation in the entire human world."
"Tell him that he's in danger?"
"He's always in danger." Yuan Jiyue said lightly, "He usually takes eight steps with one foot, and the people who protect him layer after layer. He came to pick up the star tower and was surrounded by a group of guards, you didn't look carefully at the waist card on the guard, in addition to the Praetorian Guards and Chengde Palace, it was simply leaky. Under such strict protection, a person secretly went to see him for more than ten days in a row without being discovered, and the carefully selected guards were ornaments. ”
Dong Manman gasped and covered his mouth.
Yuan Jiyue put a finger on her lips: "Shhh ”
