26. a tower bottom
The group entered the Dali Temple and sat down, drank a few pots of tea, but Luo Bing asked for two pots of wine to drink.
As soon as the wine was drunk, the person immediately got up and instructed the knife wound doctor in Dali Temple to give Master Kongwen some tonic medicine, and then he was ready to go to the backyard for a small solution.
It happened that Xiao Yue was standing in the backyard, and when she saw Luo Bing returning safely, she said happily: "Brother Luo, are you okay?"
Luo Bing looked at Xiaoyue's joy and color was not like a person who could deceive, and then remembered that day and her Donghu Stone Pit was killed, her life hung by a thread, no matter how strong her determination was, it would never be possible not to show half of her martial arts at the moment of life and death.
But Luo Bing has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he doesn't show his face when he is suspicious, but he just secretly puts it up.
Xiao Yue said: "I heard that you and Master Kongwen entered that forest, I was very worried, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I got up in the middle of the night, but I couldn't find Brother Ouyang, so I sat in the courtyard for a while, and then went back to my room to sleep." ”
Wen Xing said "um" and said: "I saw Miss Xiaoyue when I got up at night, and she also asked me where Ouyang Qing was, I said that in the cold abandoned mourning hall, when I led people over, Ouyang Qing locked the door of the mourning hall, and I went back to my room to sleep." ”
Wen Xing and Ouyang Qing have had a very bad relationship recently, it is not as good as coldly abandoning Ouyang Qing's people from beginning to end, to say that Wen Xing may be closer to Lu Changfeng.
Before Wen Xing entered Dali Temple, he was nicknamed "Treading Waves", and he was used to being alone in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't like to slap horses, Luo Bing felt that his character was more reliable.
Luo Bing was puzzled in his heart, staggered step by step towards the house, constantly recalling the scene of last night in his mind, suddenly stumbled under his feet, and almost fell, Xiao Yue hurriedly reached out to help.
Holding his hands tightly, Luo Bing's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "Not quite like it." ”
As he spoke, Luo Bing had a few thoughts in his heart, and a chill ran through his bones: Isn't it Xiaoyue, who is ......it? Xue Bing, Lady Tie?
Isn't Lady Tie already buried in the Heavenly Mountain? Even if Lady Tie is alive, she will never be able to pretend to be the King of Heaven! What kind of identity is Lady Tie, what kind of glorious person is it?"
Thinking of this section, it seems that everything has some clues from the blank, Luo Bing was fifteen years old and followed his master Tianshan to help Tiemoller, but after going to Tianshan a fierce battle, the son of Tiemoller and his wife has been taken away by the Red Line Woman, Tiemoller and his wife swore not to return, and they must eradicate the demon sect to help justice, and finally Tiemoller and his wife begged for mercy.
Iron Lady Xue Bing died after the battle of Tianshan, and before she died, she turned out to be not a heroic Tie Mole, Tie Mole had died in battle at that time, but the last side she saw was Luo Bing and Chu Zhaohe, and it is said that the people who were dying when they saw the last side of the people would be ghosted.
Now that Xue Bing's soul has returned to the world, he is not trying to pull himself into hell? Could this be true that the folk legend scares people.
Ouyang Qing saw that Luo Bing's face was pale and blue for a while, there was no blood on his face, but his hands couldn't stop trembling.
What he thought in his heart must be something terrifying in the world, and his expression was extremely frightened, and he said inexplicably: "What did you think of again?" Luo Bing thought that he had been dragged to hell by the ghost of Iron Lady Xue Bing, his face was extremely unnatural, and he just smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about this matter, let's talk about it another day, but the headless king is pretending to be a human being, which can be confirmed......"
Ouyang Qing's eyes gurgled for a while, and he was also greatly surprised: "What did you see?"
Luo Bing said: "If you don't believe it, you can only say this, a person whose martial arts are only above you and me, hiding in the willow forest every night and pretending to be a headless king, killing countless people with mediocre martial arts, and almost killed me last night." ”
Ouyang Qing frowned and said, "Martial arts people still have to do this kind of thing, even if there is, what is the benefit of doing this?"
Luo Bing looked at the half-cut heavy sword that was broken on the table, and said in a dumb voice: "There is no doubt about the strength of the headless heavenly king's martial arts, but if you talk about the depth of internal strength, it is far inferior to the master of Kongwen, the master was poisoned by medicine at the beginning, otherwise I don't know what the outcome will be?"
Ouyang Qing was shocked and said, "Wouldn't that require decades of internal strength and supreme light skills?"
Luo Bing said: "That's why I said that this is a master who cultivates close to Tiemoller." And the headless king was in front and behind me, and I couldn't even see how he walked and moved. ”
When Ouyang Qing heard this, he was speechless, and only muttered: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world...... , I thought that the three of us were already masters after Timoller, who knows?。。。。。 ”
Luo Bing still had cold air behind his back, and asked, "Is there an eyebrow about the cold abandonment?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ouyang Qing's eyes, and he said coldly: "There are eyebrows." I found a piece of foil in the abandoned room, with a lot of marks on it, and it was supposed to be where he had tracked it down. ”
Luo Bing said: "And then?"
Ouyang Qing took a deep breath: "Where Leng Qi has been, I have investigated everything I can investigate, I found such a sentence on Leng Qu foil,"
As he spoke, he took out the silver foil from his arms, and Luo Bing saw that it read: "Great, the road is long." ”
The foil is the paper of the tracking record of Dali Temple, the people of Dali Temple go out to handle the case with this record as the core, this paper does not melt when it encounters water, does not retreat when it encounters alkali, and most of the people who rob and track the tomb use foil to make records.
Luo Bing couldn't help but be shocked, and said: "It's related to Lu Changfeng again! Yes, Li Wuning once tried three swords with Lu Changfeng in the bamboo forest at the foot of Murong Villa, and he is an eyewitness!"
Ouyang Qing nodded and said: "It seems that the calendar must have been coldly abandoned and discovered some secret, otherwise how could he write a calendar." ”
Luo Bing said very cautiously: "Lu Changfeng and Li Wuning are both related to cold abandonment?"
Ouyang Qing raised his eyes to look at Leng Qi's tablet and said slowly: "Since Leng Qi knows such a secret, he shouldn't track it everywhere, let alone go to the willow forest where the headless Heavenly King haunts.
I am steady, and I am the most careful in my personal affairs, and there will never be such a big omission, there must be a hidden secret. In my opinion, Leng Qi may not have died from a martial arts master, but may be an acquaintance. ”
Luo Bing groaned: "Leng Qi has no wife and children, and he doesn't have any other friends, so he can completely let down his guard, unless he is also a servant of Dali Temple." I have long asserted that there are ghosts in Dali Temple, and now it seems that I will not be wrong. ”
Ouyang Qing looked puzzled, and then said: "Before, we unanimously agreed that the internal ghost was bought by Cao Yongmin of the Internal Affairs Mansion, but now that I am so close to the Internal Affairs Mansion, why does this person still target me?"
Luo Bing also knew that this matter was widely implicated, but he cared more about Lu Changfeng's whereabouts than the truth of the headless king and the rumors of a demigod and a half-ghost.
The cold abandoned dormitory is a single room in the back, and the cold abandoned is single all year round, and the room is very messy, and many miscellaneous items have accumulated over the years, which seems to be rarely tied.
Luo Bing looked up and down carefully, searched for a long time, and although he found a lot of notes left by Leng Abandon, most of them were confusing, and there were only a few words, so he really didn't know what to do.
It's just that the handwriting in the cold abandoned room is very different from the foil handwriting that Ouyang Qing took, and Luo Bing didn't move when he saw it in his eyes.
Leng Qi is the captain of the tracking detective in Dali Temple, and there is a hand-drawn map with a brush on the wall, which has been marked too much and has been unrecognizable.
Luo Bing leaned his face closer, and it took a lot of effort to recognize that this was a map of Luoyang. I saw that many places were crossed with a red pen, and only one place was marked with a big cross, and a small word was approved next to it: suspicious.
Where the cross is made, there is a strange gossip pattern drawn on the edge not far away, and those who don't know think it's where the Taoist temple is.
Luo Bing mused: "I'm not him, no matter how much work it takes, I can't see what is originally painted here and what I want to explain."
Luo Bing ran back to the Dali Temple Geographical Names Division, and went to get a new map of Luoyang, and matched it with the photos in the cold abandoned house, only to find that this annotation is a multi-treasure pagoda outside Luoyang, which was built by Gaozu time.
I was puzzled: "What are you doing when you paint the royal Duobao Pagoda? None of us can enter the royal garden at will?" told Ouyang Qing about this discovery, but Ouyang Qing didn't care, thinking that this was a cold scribble, and there were no other characteristics, and asked Luo Bing not to be suspicious, so as not to lose his life by entering the royal garden to investigate.
Ouyang Qing attached great importance to any object that he had coldly discarded in front of him, but when Luo Bing found different evidence, Ouyang Qing didn't care, the more Ouyang Qing didn't care, and the more he said this, the more Luo Bing wanted to take a look at it secretly.
It was noon, hungry, the two set a table in the courtyard to eat, and Luo Bing thought about the Duobao Pagoda.
Ouyang Qing just poured wine for Luo Bing cup after cup, and it was rare for him to take the lead this time, from the spicy day to the gorgeous sunset at dusk, the two of them were half drunk while blowing.
It was getting late, the bright sky had turned gray, and only the last red glow was left in the west.
Ouyang was full of wine and food, pulled Luo Bing, and ran out.
Luo Bingqi said: "We have just eaten and drunk, we should sit and relax our chests, where do you take me when we lie down comfortably?" Ouyang Qing didn't speak, just dragged him stiffly, didn't answer Luo Bing's words, and only walked forward.
Walk more than three miles, through a few alleys, Luo Bing saw that there was a four-story red building in front of him, from the outside to see that it was very magnificent, just the whole vermilion paint got a lot of silver, only to see Ouyang Qing without saying a word, the car was familiar with the road, so he went straight in.
Luo Bing was inexplicable, raised his head to see what kind of place this was, the big red lantern at the door was hung with three big characters "Yiqing Yuan", he woke up eight points after drinking, and jumped up suddenly: "Didn't you give the cold abandonment guard, you actually came to the brothel?"
Ouyang Qingjiu surged up, supported Luo Bing, and shouted at the old bustard: "Send the best girl up!"
Luo Bing saw that he was drunk, and then saw the old bustard twisting and turning, and he couldn't stop feeling sick in his heart. Looking at the old bustard
That waist, that really can't be regarded as a waist, the round waist is thick like a water tank, but the water in this water tank is afraid that it is enough for the entire Dali Temple to take a bath.
With such a thick waist, he actually twisted and twisted, panting and coquettishly: "Uncle Ouyang is here, and he brought someone here today, hurry, hurry up, please!"
Luo Bing saw that the fat on her cheeks shook non-stop when she spoke, and other people's meat was at most shaking up and down, but this old bustard was shaking back and forth, so that a lot of flour-like things on his face were spilled, and he almost vomited all the wine he drank.
Ouyang Qing actually responded: "Where's the girl, hurry up!"
Luo Bing saw more than a dozen girls who were afraid of death coming around, his scalp was numb, he only felt that the headless king was nothing terrible compared to them, and he didn't know that Ouyang Qing's taste was so heavy.
The more I thought about it, the more disgusting I became, and threw the drunk Ouyang Qing in the Taishi chair next to him, and the arrows on his toes seemed to run out, and when he arrived at the door, he just squatted down, "Wow", all the wine he drank from noon to night vomited out, and several guards next to him scolded him.
After spitting out the wine, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he turned around a few times outside, thinking about it in his heart, and finally thought of the map he saw in the cold room in the morning, and now it was night after all, and he still went to Duobao Pagoda.
Duobao Pagoda was not much famous originally, but with Yan Zhenqing, Duobao Pagoda inscriptions became famous.
Yan Zhenqing was everyone in the early Tang Dynasty, that is, calligraphy and nationality, everyone admired, and many pagodas became more famous. Duobao Pagoda was originally a place of royal sacrifice and faith, only for the royal children to incense, outsiders are not allowed to enter, there are guards at ordinary times, just because it is not an important post, it is not necessarily strict.
When the guards walked by, Luo Bing crossed the wall with a strong spirit, but it was empty and empty.
When I walked to the front of the pagoda, I saw that no one seemed to have come to the pagoda for a long time, and no one had cleaned it. The surrounding foliage and grass are overgrown, and it is a desolate scene, and the heart of the royal garden is nothing more than that.
Luo Bing bent on his waist and walked around the tower twice, and after confirming that there was no one again, he quietly climbed in through the window lattice.
The pagoda has seven floors, built of solid wood, and is strong and reliable.
Luo Bing brought two Thunderbolt Hall fire folds, and after opening one of them, he immediately covered them with black gauze to prevent the guards outside from seeing the light, and then he began to go up the tower on his waist, and carefully checked all the way while walking, and it took him half the night to reach the top of the tower.
The wind on the top of the tower whimpered, and the gods in the distance were all under their feet, and the entire gods were in a state of gloom in the distance except for the bright lights near the imperial city, and the wind on the top of the tower was extremely cold when it blew on the body, and Luo Bing's figure was also trembling, and he hurriedly shrank back.
Walking to the top of the tower but working hard but finding nothing, Luo Bing couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Even if Luo Bing didn't dare to be negligent when he got down to the tower, he had to be more careful when the guards changed the guard every two hours, Luo Bing kept tapping the tower wall with his knuckles while walking.
At the bottom of the tower, he stepped on a stone brick, but this brick made a "sudden" sound, and the sound was different, Luo Bing's eyes lit up, and he took a closer look at the stones of the same size laid on the ground.
Luo Bing gently put his hand on the brick that made a strange noise, added a little internal strength and pressed it, and with a "sudden", the brick was warped at one end.
The brick back turned out to be empty, and inside was a tunnel that could only be passed by one person, but it was sealed with iron plates, and it was impossible to enter.
At most, it was a place the size of three palms, and I saw that there were a few strange-shaped iron plates inside.
Luo Bing reached in, remembered the gossip pattern on the cold abandoned map, and moved back and forth according to the map, and after a while, it was put together into a gossip shape.
As soon as the gossip was closed, the iron plate slid open to the right, revealing a small iron door.
Luo Bing was even more vigilant against the abnormality, and walked up quickly, but the iron door was actually unlocked, just sliding left and right.
Luo Bingxin said: "This person is really smart enough to design it like this." Thousands of pounds of iron door, there are not many people who can pull, it seems that the designer to prevent people from stealing, but it took a lot of effort. ”
Luo Bing took a deep breath, stepped inside, turned around and slid the iron door sliding, only to hear the creaking of the machine, and the gossip outside dispersed again.
I was afraid that there was an enemy in front of me, and I couldn't recover from the battle last night, so I rested for a while, poured my internal strength into my whole body, and tiptoed forward.
After walking less than ten steps, the inside suddenly opened up, but it turned out that there was a large tower base at the bottom of the tower, but the lights inside were bright.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, thinking of the entanglement with Xiaoyue's appearance that night, my heart was terrified, and I didn't dare to move forward or retreat.
Luo Bing didn't dare to look back at this time, but he was afraid that as soon as he turned around, he saw a headless heavenly king looking at him.
I don't know how long it took, Luo Bing lay on the ground and didn't move, he couldn't hear the slightest sound, he couldn't help but squint and glance back, seeing that there was nothing behind him, his heart was fixed, he gritted his teeth, flew in, and held a palm flower in front of his chest with one palm, just afraid of being attacked again.
After half a sound, Luo Bing didn't see anything unusual, and walked forward boldly, only to see a big wooden barrel in front of him, as if a woman was bathing.
I glanced into the tub again, and it turned out that the water level was very low, and a woman was leaning against the wall, as if she was asleep, and there were petals floating on the water, covering the woman's carcass, and before she could get closer, a faint fragrance came to her nose.
Looking at it again, Luo Bing was shocked and almost shouted: "Chu Qiuyan!"
This is just over a day's work, not in the wine shop, Chu Qiuyan was caught at the bottom of the Duobao Pagoda, Luo Bing covered his mouth, and almost screamed.
Luo Bing gently patted Chu Qiuyan's cheek, seeing that she didn't move, she listened attentively, heard a slight breathing sound, and calmed down slightly.
Luo Bing was surprised and frightened, and reached out to touch Chu Qiuyan's skin, it was indeed a real person.
Who knows, there was the sound of sliding iron doors outside, and with a "creak" sound, the iron door outside actually slid open. Luo Bing was shocked, only to hear a rather familiar voice say: "What is the purpose of you imprisoning Chu Qiuyan here?" Luo Bing will be fatal if he knows it, even if Chu Qiushui knows, he can't spare you. ”
Luo Bing always felt that this voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and he was secretly strange in his heart.
A heart almost jumped to his throat, and he didn't care about wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, and when the time was ripe, he made a sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, there was a sound of killing outside, but it turned out that the guards found the two people who came later, and they rushed to kill, but these two people could not enter the tower for the time being.
Luo Bing saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity and didn't come again, and listened to them running eastward, holding Chu Qiuyan and running west, although he ran with all his strength, but after all, he held a person in his hand, which was not as convenient as running alone.
Luo Bing glanced at Chu Qiuyan, she didn't know what poison she was in, she was weak, and she was already asleep at this time, and couldn't help sighing: "Chu Qiuyan's poison is no longer possible to be forced out by internal force, maybe there is still hope for the injection." I want to send her back to Chu Qiuyu, maybe there is still hope. Chu Qiuyu is proficient in Fusang medical skills, and she will also treat her wholeheartedly, she is the last hope. ”
asked himself again: "Although Chu Qiuyan is a little girl, she is really a master of martial arts, and she is not as old as her in the general rivers and lakes, I don't know who harmed her like this?"
