The early morning sun fell into the mansion of the Marquis of Jianxing.

In the courtyard, there were only two people.

Liu Shiyi sat in the courtyard.

He looked at the mottled sword marks on the stone wall, and was stunned.

"Miss Pei. ”

Liu Shiyi stretched out a hand, he was still wearing the shabby white shirt, the blood stains stained had been mottled by the wind and sun, it was hard to understand why he had such a deep attachment to this dress...... Liu Shiyi touched the marks on the stone wall, his eyes were engaged and condensed, and in his mind, one sword qi after another flashed, sweeping back and horizontally, interacting around, and finally repeating the picture of that day.

The Zhenshen Array suppressed Cao Ran.

Pei Fu, who was wiping the sword weapon in the yard, hummed softly.

"Next, I would like to ask how you managed to combine your sword qi into the formation. Liu Shiyi's gaze was very focused, he raised his head, looked at the mottled sword qi of the entire stone wall, and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Zhu Immortal Array, you can directly destroy the King of Taishan in the underworld...... Why is that?"

The girl stopped what she was doing, and she looked at Liu Shiyi, who was sitting in the courtyard and meditating.

Liu Shiyi rarely spoke, and sat down like a piece of wood, more like a stone...... At least Ning Yi said that Liu Shiyi was like a stone, and whenever he saw this white-clothed young man with a clear and handsome face but a blank face, Ning Yi would always add an established adjective to modify the stone.

Such as...... Stones in the pit.

Liu Shiyi's temper is stinky and hard.

Pei annoyed and brushed her sideburns, she looked at Liu Shiyi, not knowing if this Holy Son of the Sword Lake Palace was really determined to practice the formation, or if he just asked casually.

"The Zhenshen Array in the courtyard relies on starlight. ”

"That day's Xiao Zhu Immortal Array didn't seem to be carried by Xinghui. ”

Liu Shiyi exhaled, he turned his back to Pei Fu, and said in confusion: "I sensed something more mysterious...... More powerful than Starlight. ”

"Divinity. The girl walked behind Liu Shiyi, she stretched out a finger and pointed it on the courtyard wall, the wall was dusty, and she poked a very small hole with one of her fingers.

The girl moved her arms slowly, carving the core operation of the formation on the wall.

Liu Shiyi didn't take his eyes off it.

Every time the girl moved her arms, it was very fast, without the slightest hesitation, Liu Shiyi silently put his hands on the ground, pushed himself, maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged on the ground, his butt rubbed against the ground, he was unwilling to stand up, and entered a state of some thought, he was extremely indulged in it, and the sky fell and the ground fell, which would not hinder him.

What Liu Shiyi wants to do now is to see clearly the formation route depicted by Pei Fu.

The girl silently sketched on the stone wall with her fingertips, her movements were very smooth, so smooth that there was no pause, at first just one hand, then two hands, the left and right arms stretched out at the same time, the fingertips were carved on the stone wall, the fine smoke was brushed away by the sleeves, and a huge and precise drawing appeared on the stone wall.

Liu Shiyi maintained a pensive expression.

Pei Fu turned around and gave up the spare space for viewing, she said seriously: "This is the sub-array of the Xiaozhu Immortal Array, the corner of the Xun side, there are a total of sixty-four talismans as the horns of the array, which can hook up a simple main array, the formation arranged in Rakshasa City is flawed, because of the limited time, so only thirty-two are laid out, and the power is not only reduced by half, but only about three percent, and there is no sword weapon in the town formation, and it will fall by two percent." ”

Liu Shiyi's expression remained unchanged.

It can be seen that he is looking at this picture very carefully.

"If you want to learn the formation, you should start with the depiction of the talisman, I suggest starting with copying the formation master post two thousand years ago, one ancestor and three sects, the valley Taoist Huang Yuzhang's "Valley Words", and the "Sick Post" of Chen Shidao, the mountain Taoist, are all very good templates. Pei Fu looked at Liu Shiyi, and his speed of speech was not fast, so that the latter could hear every word, and said: "Ancient formation masters, the core of many formations is very wonderful, but they have been gradually eliminated, Mr. Lu Sheng of Shushan is the master of the formation of this thousand years, and there are Mr. Lu Sheng's classics and formation essence experience on Xiaoshuang Mountain of Shushan, if you want to learn ......"

She paused and said, "I can teach you." ”

Liu Shiyi's expression was a little pale.

He looked at Pei Fu, as if looking at a freak: "Do you remember?"

He didn't say what he remembered, and he didn't ask what it was.

The girl nodded and said, "I remember everything." ”

Liu Shiyi glanced at Pei Fu, and then at the notches on the stone wall.

He couldn't help but speak, "When is Ning Yi going out?"

Pei Fu lowered his eyebrows and said lightly: "I don't know, maybe in the afternoon, maybe in the evening." ”

Liu Shiyi said embarrassedly: "He went to the palace to find that Miss Xu?"

The girl nodded.

Liu Shiyi asked again, "You're not going?"

The girl shook her head.

"He went to treat Miss Xu. Pei annoyed: "Miss Xu Qingyan sent a letter in the East Chamber, she has always been in poor health, she has a difficult disease, she needs Ning Yi to be treated, I can't cure it, why should I follow." ”

Liu Shiyi was speechless.

......

......

"Miss Qingyan is not in the East Chamber?"

"Master Ning Xiaohou, in the past few days, Miss Xu has been practicing and studying with the monks of Kunshan Mountain, and going out during the day. ”

Tiandu Palace, outside the East Wing Garden.

The ascetic of Lingshan saluted and said: "We are responsible for guarding the gate in the East Wing Garden, if the little marquis wants to see Miss Xu, you can wait until the sun sets, and Miss Xu will return to the palace at dusk every day." ”

Ning Yi said curiously: "She followed the monk of Kunshan to go out to practice?"

The ascetic of Lingshan simply said one word: "Yes." ”

As soon as Ning Yi was about to speak, the ascetic said bluntly: "I don't know anything else, and Miss Xu has never asked for anything. ”

Ning Yi smiled.

"I'll wait a minute. ”

He has nothing to do now, practicing the sword heart, and has embarked on a righteous path, the Wanhua sword heart has been initially opened, and the results of the hard work are very low, even if he sits in the mansion for twelve hours a day and meditates, there will not be a single inch of progress.

Ning Yi glanced at the East Chamber, the ascetics of Lingshan, followed by the monks of Kunshan, these people are the same as the Taoists in the hemp robe, they said that they are not allowed to enter, then they are not allowed to enter, a group of donkeys, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, they will not open the door.

Ning Yi stood at the gate of the East Wing Garden, still hesitating whether he wanted to take a stroll in this huge palace.

Not long.

There was a sound of stirring footsteps in the distance.

Behind the old eunuch was the golden-armored guard, whose footsteps were heavy and dusty.

He folded his hands on his sleeves, the sky was blue and the sun was white, and he was carrying a big red lantern in his hand, his eyebrows and beard were white, his lips were bright red, and his robe was swaying.

"Grandpa Hai. Ning Yi smiled and saluted, "How are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, our family is not these idle things every day, I haven't seen acquaintances in the palace for a long time, and now Miss Xu follows the monks every day to practice, and occasionally I see it, just to say a sentence or two. Father-in-law Hai smiled and said: "When I saw it today, I was very happy, but unfortunately I didn't allow it, otherwise I really wanted to chat with the little marquis." ”

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Little Marquis, there are adults in the palace who want to see you. ”

Father-in-law Hai lowered his eyebrows, patted his sleeve robe left and right with both hands, made a "please" gesture, and smiled softly: "Let's go with our family." ”

Ning Yi sighed softly in his heart, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he made an exact same movement, and said, "Then ...... Father-in-law Lao Hai led the way. ”

......

......

The harem is large and overgrown with weeds.

Along the way, the two of them went one after the other, Ning Yi subconsciously gave up half of the position of his shoulder, and let Gonggong Hai go first, this thoughtful old eunuch, without showing a trace, gently patted Ning Yi's shoulder with one hand, and the two walked side by side, no one was taller than the other.

After walking for a while, Ning Yi lowered his head, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he caught a glimpse of a stone pillar, under the shadows, it was clean, the weeds were pulled clean, but there were some blood stains left.

The old eunuch said softly: "The weeds in the palace are not allowed to be pulled, this is the rule." The little marquis had sharp eyes, and saw some unclean things, in fact, there was a short-eyed 'cheap maid' some time ago, who wanted to please a certain lady, and came here in the middle of the night to work hard, but was found and beaten half to death, and what was even more tragic was that during the day on the second day, he was ruthlessly expelled from the palace by the lady. ”

"Expelled from the palace?" Ning Yi looked at Gonggong Hai, and said with some confusion: "It is said that once you enter the harem, it is as deep as the sea, if you make a mistake, it is more miserable than being severely punished to death by the law, expelled from the palace, and regaining your free body?"

Haigong Mu Ran said: "That cheap maid...... Born in the east, entering the palace from outside the Great Wall in the east, and expelling from the palace, he will naturally be sent back to his ancestral hometown. The scene outside the four realms of the Great Sui, I'm afraid the little marquis is not very clear. ”

Ning Yi was silent for a while.

"It can only be said that although the palace is strict, if you don't commit crimes, don't have bad intentions, do things honestly, and behave in a down-to-earth manner, Your Majesty will issue a 'silver reward' on a monthly basis, and everyone in the family can settle within three hundred miles of the heavenly capital and find a stable place to live. The old eunuch narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Actually, that cheap maid ...... The heart is not bad, but I just touched some moldy heads, violated the rules, no one can protect her, I only remember that day to lead her out of the palace, she knelt on the ground and couldn't stop kowtowing, tears begged Niangniang to open the net, but unfortunately that beautiful skin, the head broke and the blood flow was no one cared. ”

Ning Yi silently withdrew his gaze.

"And then?"

"I led her out of the palace and gave her twelve taels of silver. Father-in-law Hai paused and said, "This amount of money is a lot, enough for her to live for a while." ”

This is indeed a lot of silver, and the common people can live without food and clothing for a while.

But Ning Yi still looked at the old eunuch and asked again, "What about later?"

She didn't ask for the twelve denarii. Hai Gong said fairly: "She hanged herself and died outside the palace the next day." I told the lady that since the person was dead, it was better to forget the matter of being sent back to the east, so the lady showed kindness and let her family continue to live in Tiandu. ”

Ning Yi didn't speak, and said, "Who is it?" ”

Gonggong Hai shook his head and said, "These trivial things, the little marquis can listen to them, and it is inconvenient for our family to disclose the details." ”

Ning Yi sighed and looked to the east.

Gonggong Hai lowered his head without a trace, and laughed at himself: "That cheap maid is funny, she doesn't want silver, she would rather die than go back to the Great Wall of the East." Little Marquis, tell me, why is this?"
