Chapter 8: A First Look at the Treasure Trove
"Xuan Si, in fact, you are really beautiful when you smile!" I turned my head and entered the room, closed the door with my hand, and deliberately did not look at Xuan Si's expression. www.biquge.info Is it a surprise, a surprise, a stunned, an annoyance, or is it as cold as it was at the beginning, and the waves are not alarmed? When I think of the various situations that Xuan Si may have, I can't help but feel a lot happier, and I laugh wildly.
There was no sound outside the door, and after a while, I heard Xuansi's footsteps leaving.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly on the white snow, which was a bit dazzling. Xuan Si had the same cold face as he did at the beginning, and he couldn't see any difference after listening to my words yesterday.
After visiting Li Hu's injury and asking for peace to Princess Xia, we followed the plan we set last night and asked Chang Bin to take me and Xuan Si around on the grounds that we wanted to walk around the palace and enjoy the scenery of the palace.
Chang Bin was very enthusiastic, and explained to me and Xuan Si in detail everywhere he went. Xuan Si and I secretly observed, and whenever we felt that something suspicious was there, we would stay for a while longer, pretending to ask Chang Bin casually. After half a day, it was only less than half of the palace.
In the next two or three days, accompanied by Chang Bin, we walked all over the corners of the palace, during which we also entered Li Xing's pavilion and chatted with Li Xing for half an hour. I guess Li Xing is like this for the sake of me and Xuan Si who saved Li Hu's life, it seems that although Li Xing has suffered misfortune and his temperament has changed greatly, he still attaches great importance to family affection.
Xuan Si and I summarized the harvest of the past two days and listed three suspicious places. One is the study of Li Hu, the prince of Zhenbei, and it is next to the bedroom where Li Hu is recuperating. During Li Hu's recuperation, in addition to the old princess, there were Fan Ye and Xingxingshu every day, and it was extremely difficult to explore the study; The family has changed dramatically, and the old princess spends most of her time in this Buddhist hall to seek scriptures and recite Buddha, and I and Xuan Si instinctively feel that this Buddhist hall still has some doorways. If you want to enter the Buddha Hall to explore, you can only wait for the old princess to be absent from the Buddha Hall at night, and the other place is the treasure house in the palace. There are two guards in front of the treasure vault who take turns guarding the gate, and it seems that the guards are a little loose, but there is only one entrance, and it is not so easy to enter silently.
Xuan Si and I decided to start with the easiest place and visit the old princess's Buddhist hall at night. After deciding, they went back to their rooms and waited for the night to fall.
I went back to my room and meditated for pranayama. After this period of diligent practice, the sixth layer of my "Falling Star Skill" has gradually become perfect, and breaking through to the seventh layer is a matter of the near future;
Time passes, it's night, and the time comes. Xuan Si and I packed up and left the pavilion silently, heading straight for the Buddha Hall.
There was no sound in the entire Buddhist hall, and there was not a single light in sight. I went through the window with Xuansi, and in order to prevent people from finding out, Xuansi stayed by the window and looked out through the small gap. I lit up the night pearl in my hand, and suddenly a small piece of soft light dispersed. By the faint light, I went straight to the shrine.
When I came to this Buddha hall during the day, Xuan Si and I both found that the base of the foot-high Guanyin sitting statue on the Buddha shrine obviously had traces of rotation, and sure enough, when I touched it with my hand, the whole base was connected with the Buddha shrine. I tried to rotate the statue to the right, but the statue didn't move, and then I tried to turn it to the left, and the statue moved, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. As the statue turned, a slight clicking sound came from under the shrine, and a door that could only be entered by a single person appeared in front of my eyes.
I whispered to Xuan Si, and put the Night Pearl into the door to take a photo, and found that there was nothing unusual, so I bent down and got in, and Xuan Si followed me and also got in.
Through the faint light of the Night Pearl, it can be found that the space of this dark room is not too large. I pulled out the fire fold and shook it, and in the light of the fire, the small dark room was in full view, with only a row of wooden shelves against the wall, and two rows of books on the wooden shelves. I looked through them one by one, and found that they were all Buddhist scriptures such as the Lotus Sutra and the Diamond Sutra. Carefully flipping through the scriptures, there is no mezzanine, and there is nothing in the scriptures.
I motioned to Xuan Si to move the shelves where the books were placed, but I didn't find anything suspicious, so I had to move the shelves back again. The two of them fumbled around, and finally chose to give up after half an hour, and walked out of the dark room stupidly. Xuan Si and I looked around in the Buddha hall without giving up, and we didn't find any other dark rooms, mezzanine or the like, so we couldn't help but be disappointed. Seeing that two hours had passed, and there was no progress, I had to quietly turn back to my residence.
Later, I pretended to inadvertently ask about the origin of Chang Bin's Buddhist hall, only to know that this was originally the prince's study, and later the prince of Zhenbei moved the study to the next door to the bedroom, which was vacant. Later, the old princess changed this place into a Buddhist hall.
On the afternoon of the second day, I was sitting cross-legged on the bed when I suddenly heard Chang Bin's cry coming from the corridor. When I opened the door, I saw that Xuan Si had also come out. Chang Bin saw me and said, "Little Fourth Miss, Little Seventh Brother, the princess asked me to invite the two of you to the main hall to talk." ”
I was a little skeptical, could it be that the matter of visiting the Buddha Hall last night was discovered? So I asked Chang Bin: "Brother Chang, the old princess let our sister and brother go over, did you say what the matter was?" Chang Bin laughed and said, "Isn't it that the county lord has arrived?" The old princess asked me to invite the two of us to meet. I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! Naturally, I wanted to pay a visit. ”
Xuan Si and I went downstairs with Chang Bin, and just walked out a short distance, but we saw a group of people coming not far away, and we could see from a distance that it was the old princess and her party. Chang Bin said: "The old princess and the county lord came over together. We stopped and waited.
Before the old princess and her party arrived, they heard the hearty laughter of the old princess from a distance, and greeted me and Xuan Si loudly: "Little four, little seven, come on." This and the little girl talked about the two little friends, and she couldn't wait to come over to see you. "Xuan Si and I hurriedly greeted him, but saw that the old princess was holding a child in one hand, looking at this dress, it was a man and a woman. When I got closer, I saw that they were two identical children, about seven or eight years old, who looked very cute, and thought they were a pair of dragon and phoenix twins from the lord of the palace. Followed by a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young woman in palace clothes, she could vaguely see between her eyebrows and eyes that she was very similar to the old princess, and she must be the county lord.
When the two sides met together, they heard the little girl say: "Are you the fourth sister and the seventh brother?" the fourth sister, you are so beautiful! The seventh brother is also very good-looking!" Xuan Si smiled and said, "Yes, what is the name of such a cute little girl?" The little girl blinked her beautiful big eyes and said in a milky voice: "Little Fourth Sister, my name is Luo Wen, everyone calls me Wenwen, Little Fourth Sister and Little Seventh Brother also call me like this, okay?" I and Xuan Si hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay!" Luo Wen pulled the little boy over and said, "Little Fourth Sister, Little Seventh Brother, this is my younger brother Xiao Linzi." Xiao Linzi, hurry up and call someone, or my sister will beat your ass. ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing. That Luo Lin hugged two small fists together, bent down slightly, and said, "Xiao Linzi has asked the little fourth sister and the little seventh brother to say goodbye!" Everyone saw that this Luo Lin was young, but he also knew etiquette, he looked like an old man, and the laughter was even louder, and the old princess was even more tearful, and she couldn't see her eyes.
We greeted each other with the young woman in the palace costume and reported each other's names, it was Li Zhilan, the county lord.
Then, the group walked towards Li Xing's residence, Luo Wen heard that she was going to see her uncle, and she took three steps and two steps, shouting: "I want to see my uncle! I want to see my uncle! I want to see my uncle! Fourth sister, little seventh brother, hurry up!"
It turned out that after the county lord visited the prince of Zhenbei, as soon as he heard the old princess mention me and Xuansi, he immediately rushed over to thank the two of us in person, and every time he went back to his parents' house, he lived in the former boudoir, so he rushed over directly.
Before he arrived at Li Xing's residence, he heard Luo Wengege's laughter from a distance, occasionally mixed with Li Xing's hearty laughter. This unfortunate Li Xing will only completely throw away that melancholy when facing his relatives.
