Chapter 248: Exploring the Palace at Night
In addition to the Hundred Poisons Sutra, Ximen Makino also hides all kinds of treasures in the basement, which can be said to be an underground treasure house.
In particular, all kinds of ancient books are particularly precious, and Wu Ming even found a few books on the manufacture of weapons and armor, among which there is a book called "Heavenly Armor Kaiwu", which is written in great detail, and even has hand-drawn drawings for each step, which is really lovely.
Recalling that in the book Yunhai, Jin Shiyi once found someone to refine Qiao Beiming's jade box into a talisman treasure robe, so Wu Ming also had his own idea and decided to study this ancient book, and then refine the 10,000-year-old cold jade obtained from the blue hole into a talisman armor.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Ming's mind heard the prompt sound of the Book Immortal System again.
"Ding Dong~!"
"Congratulations on your luck touching the Book Immortal System Quest [Crafting Treasure Armor]."
"Task content: Familiarize yourself with "Tianjia Kaiwu", use the 10,000-year-old cold jade, and refine at least one talisman armor to complete the task."
"Mission duration: three months."
"Task Reward: Book Immortal Spirit Stone + Book Immortal Score Card (10)."
……
After Li Shengnan got the Hundred Poisons Sutra, he immediately began to read it, and soon found an introduction to the Five Poisons and the preparation of the antidote.
The content in it is about the same as what her mother taught back then, except that the details are more detailed, and after all, so many years have passed, in fact, Li Shengnan is afraid that she can't remember the formula clearly, but now that she has a book, she doesn't have to worry.
Wu Ming scraped away the treasures in the basement and put all of them in the book immortal storage box, because there were too many things, he had to upgrade the big book immortal storage box to an extra-large book immortal storage box again, and the number of lattices was increased to three hundred, which was enough, but it also consumed all the book immortal spirit stones he had obtained before.
Ximen Muye's mansion only had housekeepers and guards, as well as some maids and old mothers, and Wu Ming and Li Shengnan left quietly after getting the Hundred Poisons Sutra.
In fact, if it were according to Li Shengnan's previous temperament, it was estimated that the people in Ximen Muye's Mansion would have died, and now under the subtle influence of Wu Ming, her mood has also quietly changed, and she will no longer harm innocent people because of the Li family's former hatred.
This time, because they were in the capital, Wu Ming and Li Shengnan only brought Zhuge Ying, an apprentice, and as for the three monsters, they could only stay in the valley where Gu Zhihua lived temporarily.
When the two returned to the inn, Zhuge Ying immediately greeted them and asked the master and the mother about the outcome of the matter.
Wu Ming has always been very doting on this apprentice of his own, and when he nodded and said with a smile: "Ying'er, with the master and the master and the mother, where can you not find a single book." ”
Zhuge Ying said: "What about the Hundred Poisons True Scripture, Ying'er wants to see what it looks like." ”
Wu Ming smiled and said, "It's almost like an ordinary book, your master and wife keep it." ”
At this time, Li Shengnan suddenly shook his head and said, "Husband, you are wrong, the Hundred Poisons True Scripture is completely different from ordinary books. ”
Wu Ming and Zhuge Ying, the master and apprentice, were very surprised, and almost asked in unison, "What's the difference." ”
Li Shengnan took out the Hundred Poisons Sutra and said, "First, do you see if the paper of this Hundred Poisons Sutra is thicker than that of other books?" ”
Zhuge Ying was about to touch it with her hand, but Li Shengnan hurriedly stopped: "Ying'er, you can't touch it, it's poisonous." ”
Wu Ming immediately realized: "No wonder you preemptively wrapped the Hundred Poisons Sutra with a handkerchief before, and you didn't let me touch it, it turned out that it was poisonous." ”
Li Shengnan chuckled: "You just know, I think back then, this Hundred Poisons True Scripture was soaked in hundreds of poisons, although because of the material, it didn't absorb much, but it was still easy to poison a few people." ”
Zhuge Ying withdrew her hand and stuck out her tongue as if she was afraid: "It's terrible." ”
Li Shengnan smiled: "In fact, if you master the toxicity, then it is not terrible." The paper of this book of the Hundred Poisons Sutra is made of special silk, which is not afraid of water immersion, and the handwriting on it will not fade even if it has been circulated for thousands of years. ”
Li Shengnan paused when he said this: "Secondly, I told you before, this book has been soaked in poison, and it is poisonous, if you don't pay attention, it will be easy to be poisoned." ”
Zhuge Ying asked, "Is there anything special about it?" ”
Wu Ming suddenly said at this time: "This book seems to have a special strange smell, is it something that has been coated with fire prevention?" ”
Li Shengnan said with a smile: "Husband's nose is really sensitive, this book of Hundred Poisons True Scripture has indeed been coated with a special medicinal juice, and this medicinal juice is indeed applied for fire prevention, now even if I put it on the fire and burn it for a while, it will not burn in a short time." ”
Zhuge Ying sighed: "Master, from this point of view, not to mention the content of this Hundred Poisons Sutra, just the material from which it is made is also a rare treasure. ”
Li Shengnan smiled: "That's true. According to my mother's recollection, in the past, our Li family used to store it in a jade box, and now it can be regarded as returning it to its original owner. ”
After talking about the Hundred Poisons True Scripture, the three of them soon talked about the second purpose of coming to the capital this time.
From Ximen Muye, Wu Ming had already learned that Zhuge Ying's father was victimized by Sikonghua, and Ximen Muye also played a role in fueling the trouble.
This Sikong is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is very powerful in the capital, and it is not as easy as imagined to bring him down and clear the way for Zhuge Ying's father.
Moreover, Wu Ming also learned from Ximen Muye that Zhuge Qingyun was indeed an undercover agent placed in the imperial court by the anti-Qing Restoration Organization, but he and Sikong Hua never found real evidence, and then there happened to be an excuse to put the trumped-up charges on him.
Of course, if you just kill Sikong Hua and don't care about the rest, with Wu Ming's martial arts, it will be a very easy thing.
Although Wu Ming is Zhuge Ying's master, revenge is a big deal, so Wu Ming decided to ask his apprentice's own opinion and asked: "Ying'er, the master has made the situation clear to you, and it is up to you to decide how to take revenge." No matter what you do, Master will definitely help you. ”
Zhuge Ying heard that her father may indeed be an undercover agent planted in the imperial court by the anti-Qing Restoration Organization, she recalled some of the circumstances of her parents when she was a child and some secret people she occasionally encountered, but she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart, and no longer entangled in whether she could return her father's innocence.
So she said: "Master, Ying'er has thought clearly, just kill Sikong Hua to avenge my parents." ”
Wu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, the master will give you the opportunity to kill the enemy with your own hands, do you dare to do it?" If you don't dare, Master will do it for you at that time. ”
Zhuge Ying nodded heavily and said, "Of course Ying'er dare, I will definitely kill this Sikong with my own hands to comfort my parents' souls in the sky." ”
Although it is a bit cruel to let a girl who is only thirteen years old kill someone, in ancient times, the enmity of parents was probably done by the children themselves, so Wu Ming said: "Okay, in the past few days, Master will go to investigate the situation, and when the whereabouts of Sikong are clarified, we will start to do it at that time." ”
When he arrived in the capital, Wu Ming didn't care about money, and he chartered a courtyard of the most famous Yuelaiju Inn in the capital, and it was more convenient for the three of them to do anything in it.
Without further ado, after Wu Ming had dinner with the two girls, he put on his night clothes and quietly went out.
Before leaving, Li Shengnan said: "Husband, although you are powerful in martial arts, you must not be careless, after all, this is the capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”
Wu Ming's heart was very warm, and he said, "Don't worry, madam, I will be cautious." ”
In fact, with Wu Ming's martial arts, he can go anywhere in the world, even if it is the inner courtyard of the palace, who can stop him?
After going out, Wu Ming went to Sikonghua's mansion, which was also asked from Ximen Muye.
The guards of the mansion of Sikong are much stricter than those of Ximen Muye, but in the eyes of masters like Wu Ming, it is still nothing more than nothing, and Wu Ming sneaked into it very easily.
In ancient times, the architectural layout of the mansion was almost the same, and Wu Ming could easily judge the residence of Sikonghua.
In addition, he has the skill of transmitting and searching for souls, and after confusing a few maids on the way, he soon came to the bedroom of Sikonghua's favorite concubine.
With Wu Ming's spiritual sense, it was naturally easy to hear the sound coming from the bedroom, not to mention that there was a strange sound coming from inside, which made Wu Ming immediately understand what the people inside were doing.
"This hollowing out is quite diligent, and he started paying public food so early?" When Wu Ming was laughing secretly in his heart, he suddenly heard a slight voice from the bedroom: "Third lady, next time, I'm afraid that the master will come back early......"
A sneering female voice said, "No, what are you afraid of, people want you to accompany me all night." ”
"Third lady, this can't work, never work......"
"Poof...... Steward Zhang, look at what you're scared of, let's tell you the truth, Sikong Hua, this old thing, secretly went to be the emperor's bodyguard, and he won't be able to come back until tomorrow. ”
"That's not good, there are many eyes and ears in the house, if I stay in your room for too long, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, and if the master knows about it at that time, I am afraid that you and I will die without a place to bury......"
Hearing this, Wu Ming had no interest in continuing to listen, he was on guard, it was difficult to prevent thieves, and he was an old guy, he probably never expected his housekeeper to wear a big green hat to him.
However, these things were not Wu Ming's concern, he secretly shook his head and smiled in his heart, and quietly left the mansion of Sikonghua.
Sikong to protect the emperor? Do you want to visit the palace?
Thinking that in the original book, Ji Xiaofeng visited the palace several times at night, and stole a lot of good things, and even went to the imperial dining room to steal food, which can really be described as chic and wishful, Wu Ming was immediately moved.
Hehe, I've only seen the inner courtyard of the palace on movies and television before, so it's better to go to the palace this time to visit it in person, so as to increase my knowledge.
