After Wei Xiaobao left, after waiting for a while, the old eunuch said to Xiang Yan: "I want to go out now." You stay in the house and don't go out. Xiang Yan was very uneasy in his heart and said, "Yes." Xiang Yan didn't eat all day yesterday, and he didn't sleep all night, so he was sleepy and hungry at this time. After a hurried glance around the room, there was a plate of snacks in the inner room, and he ate it with great gulp, and drank half a pot of tea from the teapot in the outer room, filled his stomach with something, and fell into a deep sleep on the cot.

When he was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard the old eunuch shouting: "Little Xiangzi, little Xiangzi." Xiang Yan hurriedly got up from the bed and answered, "Father-in-law." What is the old eunuch doing when he comes back at this time? The old eunuch said, "Xiao Xiangzi, I'll take you to a place now." You help me get a book out, and I'll give you the antidote and let you out of the palace. Xiang Yan felt a little relieved: "It seems that I am not being a eunuch." So he replied, "Yes." The old eunuch nodded and said, "Follow me."

Although the old eunuch was blind, he was familiar with the place. Turn left and turn right and come to a place. Xiang Yan looked up and saw that the door plaque read the three words "Kun What Palace" - Xiang Yan learned simplified Chinese characters, not traditional Chinese characters. The old eunuch took Xiang Yan over the wall, came to a room, and said, "While there is no one now, you can quickly go in and find a copy of the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and come out, and I will give you the wind outside." Be careful and don't get noticed. ”

Xiang Yan entered the room and looked around, there was no shadow of books in this room at all. However, the old eunuch confirmed that the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" was in this room, which means that this scripture contained a big secret and was put in a secret place by the owner. Alas, I don't know where the "Forty-two Chapters" is hidden. This room is so big, where do I go to find a book? But what is the secret of this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra"? I seem to be familiar with the name, and it must be an important prop that appeared in the original book. It's just that I didn't read the book carefully when I read it, and after a long time, I couldn't remember it for a while.

Xiang Yan rummaged around the house, but never found a book. The old eunuch suddenly lowered his voice outside and shouted, "Come out quickly, someone is coming." Xiang Yan was shocked and quickly escaped from the house. The old eunuch ran wildly with Xiang Yan, but he didn't meet anyone and returned directly to his residence, and Xiang Yan was impressed.

After returning to the residence, the old eunuch asked Xiang Yan, "Little Xiangzi, have you found the scriptures?" Xiang Yan said, "No." The old eunuch frowned and said, "I'll look for it tomorrow." Xiang Yan hesitated and replied, "Yes."

When he fled back, he walked in a hurry, and he didn't have time to put the things back in their place, but he was afraid that the owner of the house already knew that someone had rummaged through his house, and wouldn't it be self-defeating to go to find it tomorrow? It's just that the old eunuch obviously only needs the scriptures and doesn't understand my life or death, what should I do?

Xiang Yan sat for a while, sleepiness came up, and when he saw that the old eunuch did not command, he fell down on the small bed to make up for sleep. When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered something: "There seems to be a treasure map in the original book, which is divided into several parts and hidden in several scriptures, is it the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra"? The old eunuch left Wei Xiaobao so that Wei Xiaobao could go to Kangxi's study to find scriptures, but in addition to Kangxi's study in the palace, the Kunning Palace where the fake queen mother lived also had several scriptures with treasure maps, could it be that the place I went to just now was Kunning Palace? The word I don't know is the word 'Ning'? ”

Xiang Yan's cold sweat immediately flowed: "It's bad, it's bad." The old eunuch has always suspected that there are masters around the fake queen mother, since she is a master, she will not be able to find the traces of me rummaging in the palace? Could it be that the old eunuch is scaring the snake and using me as bait to lure out the masters around the fake queen mother? No wonder when I made up the origin, the old eunuch didn't ask much. I thought I had hidden it from the old eunuch, but now it seems that the old eunuch didn't intend to let me live at all. Anyway, I can only live for another day or two, so what does it matter if I come from? Why should he ask? ”

Xiang Yan closed his eyes and continued to sleep. I'll take care of my spirits and sleep well now, and when the old eunuch sleeps at night, I'll attack the old eunuch and let the old eunuch die. The current situation does not allow me to retreat, if the old eunuch does not die tonight, it will be my death tomorrow.

When Xiang Yan was woken up from hunger, the rough eunuch was bringing dinner. Wei Xiaobao saw Xiang Yan and said, "Xiao Xiangzi woke up and came to eat." The old eunuch snorted and said, "What qualifications does he have as a little eunuch to eat with me?" said to the rough eunuch: "You take Xiao Xiangzi to the big canteen to eat."

When Xiang Yan was eating in the big cafeteria, he ran into the kitchen and stole a knife to cut vegetables and hid it on his body while everyone was not paying attention. When he returned to his residence after eating, the old eunuch suddenly said, "Xiao Xiangzi, someone will ask Xiao Guizi to fight tomorrow." You go and help Xiao Guizi get rid of that person, and let the person who stole the scriptures go in advance. Xiang Yan's heart was relieved and said, "Yes." The person who fought with Wei Xiaobao must be Kangxi.

Regarding the plot against the old eunuch, Xiang Yan also felt empty: "This old eunuch's martial arts are quite high, even if I take advantage of his unpreparedness to hack him to death, he is afraid that he can kill me with one slap if he fights back before he dies." Now that the old eunuch asked me to help Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi fight instead of going to Kunning Palace to die, the matter of plotting against the old eunuch can be discussed in the long run. Wei Xiaobao is the protagonist of the Mandate of Heaven, and none of the people Wei Xiaobao hates have a good end, and the old eunuch died at the hands of Wei Xiaobao in the original book. I may be able to discuss with Wei Xiaobao how to deal with the old eunuch. ”
