The sun is rising.

The morning light sprinkled on the street, the merchants and pawns walked among the carriages and horses, and an old man carrying a stack of sugar gourds sat on the stone steps outside the tea shop, and shouted in a loud voice:

"Sugar gourd—"

Night Terror hung a saber at his waist, led the black horse to stop outside the tea shop, turned his head to look at the red and bright sugar gourd stack, and a few words suddenly came to his ears:

"Surprise, do you want to eat?"

"That's what kids eat."

"You're only six years old, and you think you're not a kid if you don't wear open crotch pants?"

"Hmm."

"Humph! You don't have a daughter-in-law, you are a boy at the age of sixty, when can you bring a daughter-in-law back, and then pretend to be an adult...... Give ......"

……

It's been twelve years.

I remember sitting on the horse at that time, and the father-in-law in front of me was also leading the horse like this, with an identical knife hanging from his waist.

Now I'm an adult, but I also walked in front of the horse, and occasionally recalled the words of the past, and it was inevitable that I would have some regrets in my heart.

Night Terror Hall looked back at the empty horse's back, and secretly wondered when to take Luo Nuxia back to Red River Town to burn some paper money.

Suppressing his thoughts along the street, a sound of wheeling heard from the corner of the street, and when he looked up, he saw a luxurious carriage approaching.

Hei Yayu quickly opened the way ahead, the window of the car was open, and a heroic woman's face was shown inside, staring at him from afar, and there was a big white bird next to him, tilting his head and poking out from the corner of the window:

"Tsk~"

Night Terror Hall came back to his senses, walked outside the carriage, and raised his hand to salute:

"Your Highness. Yesterday I hit until the middle of the night, and I got up late in the morning......"

Night Terror Hall is not a late night, but he didn't sleep at all, after helping Luo Woman suppress the medicine, Luo Woman didn't move directly, he had to fetch water into the house and help Luo Woman take a bath.

Luo Nuxia was ashamed and too lazy to move, and hid around as soon as the key parts were touched, and finally washed the fragrant spray back to the bed and lay down, and had to wash the sheets and quilt covers, and woke up before Yunli finished it, breakfast was cooked by Yunli, and it would definitely be late to come in the morning.

Fortunately, Dongfang knew who the Night Terror Hall was doing last night, and he didn't blame the Night Terror Hall for not being able to wait for a long time.

Dongfang Liren sat upright in the carriage, with three points of strangeness in his eyes, and thought for a while:

"Yesterday, I asked She Long and them to chase people, but in the end they lost it, and they didn't catch the murderer, so they let you and Bird Bird work for a day......"

Night Terror turned over like a guard and walked by the car window:

"I caught a prisoner yesterday, and I asked if anything happened?"

"It's just a Jianghu Youyong who takes money to do things, and he doesn't know anything. The person who can invite Xu Bailin is by no means a small force, and it is definitely not simple behind this matter, and this king has no clue now. ”

Dongfang Liren said this, and looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"The night god catches, is there a way to continue to investigate?"

Although Night Terror Hall can't afford the word 'God Catch', there is really a way - the swimming palm is the unique move of Zhang Henggu, the iron hexagram of Nanshan, since the murderer can, Zhang Henggu himself will most likely know some origins, he just asks.

But this method is based on his strong connections of 'hugging the black and white thighs at the same time', and if he said it, he would capsize on the spot.

Night Terror Hall pondered for a moment, but said: "I want to find a way to let Honghualou track it down, Honghualou is a force in the rivers and lakes, and there should be more ways." ”

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly, and his eyes showed approval:

"I really didn't see it before, you are so good at doing things, make persistent efforts in the future, the king's rewards and punishments are clear, as long as you have enough merit, there is nothing in the world that the king can't reward you......"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Liren remembered Mrs. Wang's words that Miss Ning'er couldn't bear it, and asked:

"The last time you entered the palace, you were looking for a palace person who caught your eye, do you have a favorite candidate? You are also a person with status now, you can't always do laundry and cooking, let the person you like do it, this king will reward you with a few maids, as a reward for yesterday's events. ”

When Night Terror heard this, his mind naturally flashed to the only Yuhu girl he knew, but he didn't mean to get the two maids:

"Your Highness, don't laugh, I'm from the rivers and lakes, I'm used to being free, I really let the two maids put them in the house, and I have to worry about two more hearts."

"Humph......"

……

While the two were chatting, the carriage drove through the bustling streets near Mingyulou and arrived at the Suzaku Gate in front of the imperial city.

Dongfang Liren is a prince, as the doting sister of today's empress, few people dare to say anything when they enter the imperial city by taking the royal road, but Dongfang Liren is not pampered and proud to this step, and he walks through the city gate where courtiers enter and exit.

The Night Terror Hall followed Dongfang Liren into the palace city, and went directly to the Yongle Palace, which had never been set foot in.

Yongle Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the density of palace people is much larger than other places, you can meet a few palace maids who go back and forth after walking a few steps, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the palace in the depths.

Night Terror Hall knew that this place was the empress's palace, so it was not easy to look at it casually, so he walked for a while before asking:

"Your Highness will take me to face the saint?"

Dongfang left people as if he was returning to his own home, walked leisurely and generously, and walked to the back of Changle Palace with night terrors:

"At this time, the saint is in the imperial study to approve the folds, and I don't have time to see you. Do you want to face the saint? ”

Night Terror Hall must be curious about the female emperor who rules the entire Great Wei, but he still knows the truth that the empress is a tigress, and accidentally plays herself as a 'night concubine', he must not be aggrieved for half his life, shook his head and said:

"I am a grass people, and I have no strategy to govern the country, how dare I easily disturb the Son of Heaven. Where are we going? ”

"Go to the Holy Bedchamber."

“？”

Night Terror Hall blinked, thinking that Stupid should not have come to let him serve the empress, so he didn't say much.

The two walked for a long time, bypassed the verandah on the side of the main hall, came to the lakeside behind the Cheng'an Palace, and retreated from the left and right servants.

The lake is artificially excavated, the whole is circular, the perimeter is a white jade guardrail, the center is a water pavilion built on the stone platform, the lake surface has lotus leaf-like stones, gracefully arranged to lead to the water pavilion, the scenery is extremely elegant, it looks like an ink painting.

The water pavilion building looks not very old, but the white stone foundation below has been yellowed, and there are still some signs of damage, and I don't know how many years have passed.

Night Terror stopped by the lake, looked at it slightly, and asked:

"What is this place?"

Oriental people are like tour guides, and they are seriously introduced by the lake:

"Minglongtan, it is said that more than 1,000 years ago, the founding emperor of Dawu ascended to the Tao, and rode the dragon on the stage; This pond is located in the middle of the imperial city, according to Xuanji Zhenren, in the center of the 'dragon vein' eyebrows, the feng shui of the four seas, the luck of a country, not the true son of heaven, can not hold this treasure land, living here, will be punished by heaven. ”

After the night terror hall took it with one hand, he bowed his head slightly:

"Really?"

Dongfang Liren blinked: "This king has never believed in these strange powers, but the Ming Dragon Diagram is indeed an object of strange powers. Xuanji Zhenren said that this place is suitable for Taoist monks to cultivate, and they often stay here when they come to the capital, and the king also thinks that the feng shui here is good, and practicing the dragon diagram will get twice the result with half the effort. Words like heavenly punishment have not been fulfilled. ”

Night Terror Hall nodded thoughtfully: "Your Highness and Xuanji Zhenren are both daughters, and it will definitely be fine to go in." Has there ever been a man other than an emperor in history? ”

Dongfang Liren carefully recalled: "This is the sleeping palace of the emperors of the past dynasties, and the men who can live here in history and are not emperors are mostly rebel leaders, traitors and traitors in the country, and those who do not die must become emperors. ”

Night Terror Hall understood what it meant—survivorship bias.

Dongfang was a little away from the tip of his toes, and after a few ups and downs above the blue waves, he came to the water pavilion in the center of the lake, turned around, and saw that the night terror hall did not move, and frowned:

"Are you still frightened by these ghosts?"

It's not that Night Terror Hall is worried about heavenly punishment, but even if he is not superstitious, the empress can't say for sure, this forbidden place where he can't enter if he is not a true son of heaven, what should he do if he runs into it and is suspicious of the empress?

Dongfang Liren naturally could see what the Night Terror Hall was worried about, and beckoned:

"No one sees it, just come here."

No one saw it?!

Night Terror felt that compared with the Ming Dragon Diagram, the head was still a little more important, and raised his hand slightly:

"Your Highness, although I am from the rivers and lakes, I still understand what it means to be 'arrogant', and I ...... here."

Dongfang Liren was a little helpless: "This king said that it was okay, it was okay, and he had already greeted the saint." ”

"The Holy One agreed?"

"Don't you promise that this king dares to take you here?"

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and crossed the guardrail, and Ling Bo walked only a few steps before he reached the water pavilion.

Trample~

Stepping on the stone platform with both feet, away from the lakeshore, the world is quiet.

Night Terror Hall looked up at the sky, presumably to determine if there was any vision of the heavens and the earth changing color.

Dongfang was a little amused when he saw this, and turned around and walked into the water pavilion:

"Come in."

The scale of the water pavilion is quite large, the interior is an empty room, the surrounding oil bookshelf, weapon rack, and a lot of calligraphy and paintings, in the center are placed two futons, embroidered with dragon and phoenix ornaments, it seems that it is the exclusive position of the empress and King Jing.

Dongfang walked around the water pavilion, disappeared for a moment after coming to the bookshelf, and when he came out again, there was an extra box in his hand.

The box is made of green jade, the size of a book, and the probability of being a dragon is high in terms of size.

Dongfang Liren walked to the center of the water pavilion with the jade box and sat down on the futon:

"Sit down."

Night Terror Hall came to the futon and took a look, picked up the bird who was squatting on the dragon and phoenix futon and loaded the hen, and sat directly on the ground in front of Dongfang Liren.

Dongfang Liren felt that the Night Terror Hall paid too much attention to etiquette, but he didn't say much and slid the jade box away.

Wow –

The golden paper suddenly came into view.

"This is the jade bone diagram, you killed the blood Bodhi, and you made a great contribution last night, this thing can be shown to you, but you can't take it away from here, and you can't explain it to the future monarch if you lose the saint."

The night terror hall sat upright, took the jade box, did not touch it with his hands, and studied it carefully by taking advantage of the sunlight outside the water pavilion.

The size and shape of the gold paper are exactly the same as those of his dragon elephant, and it feels like two pages torn from a book, the only difference is the content inside.

The picture of the jade bone unicorn is naturally a unicorn, carrying the green sky and stepping on the earth, with extremely delicate lines.

After a little look, Night Terror Hall knew that it was genuine, and his heart couldn't help but be weird.

Although there are deviations in the process and results, it can be regarded as having achieved the plan when he first entered Beijing - to find a way to sneak into the palace and get the Minglong map.

Secretly used the practice of the 'Dragon Elephant Diagram' to study the Jade Bone Diagram, and found that the same vein and the same way of practice, and it could not even be said that it was two secret techniques, but the method of the Dragon Elephant Diagram, and several paths were added, and the two could be combined into one, becoming one method with two effects......

Outside the water pavilion is the lake and clear water, in the open and quiet spacious room, men and women sit opposite each other, and can only hear the birds and cicadas:

"Got it—"

"Tweeted ......"

Night Terror Hall held the golden paper in both hands, and observed carefully, the black robe with the texture of Shuiyun brocade, with the cold eyebrows and side face of deep thought, was placed in the environment of ink and blue, and it actually brought a different kind of dusty atmosphere.

Dongfang Liren sat upright on the futon, and his originally heroic eyes showed three points of softness, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't take his eyes off the man's face, stunned.

Night Terror Hall looked at it for a moment and put down the gold paper:

"This picture is really mysterious, not at all like ordinary things, and I can only see a little hint."

Dongfang Liren bowed slightly: "You have a good talent, it shouldn't be difficult to understand, you practice and try." ”

Night Terror Hall nodded slightly, closed his eyes at the moment, and began to practice the Jade Bone Diagram.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Dongfang Liren showed the eyes of looking at the 'little fool', his back was straight, and he put on the momentum of the queen, and said seriously:

"You didn't practice the Ming Dragon Diagram like this. This king teaches you, look good, sit cross-legged and steady, with your left leg on the outside and your right leg on the inside......"

Dongfang Liren lightly lifted the skirt of the python robe, sat cross-legged, put his hands on the lower abdomen, and the placket was high, causing the originally proud fat-headed dragon to become a three-dimensional pattern.

The Night Terror Hall practiced the Ming Dragon Diagram completely by feeling, and did not pay attention to the posture, so he followed the study at the moment, sat cross-legged, held his left hand with his right hand, and closed his eyes.

Dongfang Liren closed his beautiful eyes and commanded unhurriedly:

"Imagine what you just saw and follow the feeling...... Well...... Graphic sense. Do you have one? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, follow the breath of this king, have a rhythm, and enter the state of Taoist concentration...... Call...... Suck ......"
