Chapter 0170 A handbook, a plate of pickles
In front of Su Qi, a delicate wooden box was placed. The lid has been opened, with a strange faint fragrance wafting, a yellowed piece of paper spread out on the table, as if someone has ripped it off, Su Qi looked at the few words on it, and there was surprise and incomprehension in his eyes.
Ten years of life and death, the Yiren are unforgettable, the rest of my words are vast, the moon is lonely, the stars are estranged, and I sit alone at the end of the world to see the eight wildernesses...... Less than half.
Su Qi caressed the yellow paper, the words on the paper were messy but vigorous, the ink penetrated the back of the paper, and there was a trace of sword intent on it, although it was just a handbook, but Su Qi vaguely felt that there were more things between the lines.
What is it? Su Qi frowned, he had been sitting here for most of the day, using almost all the means, but he still couldn't see the secret of this handbook.
"Still can't figure it out?" Yu Su sat cross-legged on the bed with his paws crossed, and in front of him was a book borrowed from the home of the second-in-command of Qin Tianjian.
"There is a strong aura on every word. Su Qi muttered,
"When I read it, I want to cry. ”
"That's natural," Yu Su casually flipped the page and said lightly,
"This handwritten note has imprinted too many emotions of that sword immortal, if it were an ordinary person, he would be greatly saddened and cry at a glance. ”
"Alas, let's think about it next time," Su Qi folded the handbook, put it in the wooden box, and looked at Yu Su,
"How's your book going?"
"It's kind of interesting, I've never read a book on astrological deduction before," Yu Su held the book up,
"I just found out that the book says that there was a big change in the stars eleven years ago, but it doesn't say anything has changed. ”
"The astrological changes greatly?" Su Qi was stunned for a moment,
"When exactly. Yu turned two pages,
"According to the above, it seems to have been fifteen days before the Sword Gate was broken. ”
"Why didn't the old man mention it?" Su Qi was a little puzzled.
"Maybe I don't know?" Yu Yu touched his chin,
"Astrology deduction is generally used more by worldly dynasties, and the major sects have rarely used it, and it is a different genre. ”
"Why don't you go and ask that Lord Shen?"
"That's fine. Yu Yu nodded. When the two walked out of the palace, the sun was hot and bright, almost all the shops and restaurants on the street had been closed, only a few medical halls, green buildings, and Goolan were still open, but there were no customers, it was hard for you to imagine that more than ten days ago, this was still the most prosperous street market in the Eastern Wilderness.
The war has taken away a lot of things, the rich are no longer playing, the poor are no longer safe, and even the beggars and street children on the corners of the streets have been affected, and it is even more difficult for them to find food because there is no one left to give them alms.
On the second day of the requisition of the spirit stone, the imperial court began to requisition grain. The first unlucky was the grain shops in the city, after dropping an IOU, it was moved by Jiang Lou's soldiers on the same day, and then the major families were unlucky, and the food in the family was also requisitioned, but Jiang Lou didn't do too much, leaving enough food for each family.
Distributing food, imposing curfews, and suppressing panic, the Dali court has carried out their various measures very smoothly, so although the city has been besieged for more than ten days, the city is still peaceful, and the ordinary people of Lidu have gradually become accustomed to those demon clans who come to attack the city every day.
The monks in the city have been recruited by Da Li and organized into a special army, although most of these people are loose cultivators, but there are also a small number of people from famous and decent families, and their combat power is stronger than most of the soldiers, Jiang Lou simply let them form an army alone, and go to the city wall every day to help, reducing the pressure on those defenders.
Everything seems to be in order, the demon clan can't get in, and there is nothing they can do about their strengthened city protection array, Li Du looks safe, and the soldiers who go down to the city every day also talk and laugh, this one says how many demon clans I killed today, and that says how much military merit I earned today.
But there was a slight uneasiness in everyone's hearts. How long can such a day last? The news that the three Beijing guards had been wiped out had already spread, and now even the civilians already knew that Lidu was a lonely city, a city that did not know whether anyone would come to the rescue.
So people with a heart are thinking of a way. Su Qi lived in the palace of Jiang Lou, but he hadn't seen him for several days, and it was said that he was discussing countermeasures in the palace.
Su Qi and Yu Su walked through the long streets, all the way east, there were only three or two pedestrians, most of them were also in a hurry, and when they arrived at the Shen Mansion, it was almost noon.
The Shen family is not big, and there are not many subordinates, after hearing Su Qi's identity and intentions, an old man respectfully took Su Qi to the Shen family's study.
Su Qi knocked on the door and entered, Shen Qingwen was sitting in the study, he hurriedly got up when he heard the sound, and saluted Su Qi, the messy books on his table were everywhere, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were sandwiched in it, leaving a small space on which there was a stack of pickles and a bowl of porridge.
"Is this your lunch?" Su Qi sat down on the chair opposite Shen Qingwen. Shen Qingwen smiled bitterly,
"Don't dare to eat more. ”
"You're the second-in-command of Qin Tianjian, you won't be so miserable, right?" Su Qi frowned, although the food control was very tight, but in a family of an official of Shen Qingwen's level, it was not a problem to have a full stomach, and it was guaranteed that there was meat for every meal.
"I feel guilty. Shen Qingwen said softly,
"I am ashamed of the people. Su Qi was stunned for a moment,
"Lord Shen, it's rare. ”
"It's hard to say, it's just me," Shen Qingwen shook his head,
"There is a little granddaughter at home, reluctant to let her suffer, two days ago I also asked someone to get her a box of Wandezhai pastries, at this time, I feel even more guilty. ”
"Human nature. Shen Qingwen picked up the pickles and asked curiously,
"Is there something wrong with the peak lord coming today?"
"I have a question I would like to ask Lord Shen for help. ”
You say. Shen Qingwen grabbed the bowl, drank the porridge dry, and put down the chopsticks.
"Eleven years ago, there was a great change in the astrological phase?" Shen Qingwen was obviously stunned, he thought for a long time before he said slowly,
"Yes, there is, but can you ask the peak master why he asked about this. ”
"I heard that the day of the great change in the astrological phase was fifteen days before the Sword Gate was destroyed?" Shen Qingwen's face flashed a trace of expression, he didn't speak, but he got up and rummaged through the bookshelves behind him, and after a while, he pulled out a thick big book, he piled up other things on the desk, cleared out an open space, and put the big book on it with a bang.
He turned the pages and said,
"The days are right, I remember very clearly, at that time, the boss of the Qin Heavenly Prison was still in charge of the prison, so on the day of the great change in the astrological phase, I took the star map to see him, and we deduced it together for a long time, but we didn't calculate what it meant, until fifteen days later, the Lingxu Mountain moved, and the sword gate was broken. ”
"After that, I looked at the star map several more times, and extrapolated from the results," Shen Qingwen's hand finally stopped, he pointed to the page, looked up at Su Qi, and there were doubts and incomprehension in his eyes,
"But it's still not right. ”
"The sword gate is broken, there shouldn't be such a star change. "Chapter 170 of the latest chapter of the little uncle of Chengjianmen, a handbook, a plate of pickles:
