Jian Shi was a little incredulous, and said in his heart: Lord Shen has made friends with Mingjiao like me?

Shen Kuo stepped forward and asked, "Lord Shenzhu, have you ever seen the Holy Book?"

Jian Yan shook his head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Chu Zhen told himself that the holy book was a wooden board engraved with scriptures, to outsiders, it was just a few insignificant pieces of wood, but it was of great significance to Mingjiao. As for what the holy book looks like, it is completely imaginary by Jian Shi, and he has not seen it with his own eyes.

Shen Kuo turned around and took out a package from the seat. Untie the knot, and inside is a square brown plank with many small pieces of wood trimmed on it.

Jian Yan looked at it for a long time and asked, "Couldn't this be the Holy Book of the Demon Sect?"

"Although this is a copy," Shen Kuo said, "but it is indeed the Holy Book of the Demon Sect!"

This is still very different from the plank that Jian Xian imagined, and he asked, "Is it really such an ordinary plank?"

"In the eighth year of Qingli, the leader of the Ming Sect once ordered someone to build a group of four wooden planks. Shen Kuo said slowly, "And three years later, I followed my father to see the holy book made in Hangzhou. ”

Jian Yan heard him say it so clearly, thinking that he really knew something, so he patiently listened to it.

"The man who made the holy book is called Bi Sheng, and he is a friend of his father. On the surface, he is an ordinary craftsman who makes plates, but in private he is the 'master of the scriptures' of the Ming Sect, and he is specially responsible for the scriptures and documents in the Ming Sect, and his identity is extremely special even in the Ming Sect. ”

Jian Shi is a native of Mingzhou, and he knows that the followers of Mingjiao are very numerous in the south, but they are called "Demon Sect" by the Jianghu people, so they generally hide their identities and act in a low-key manner.

Shen Kuo reminisced and said: "In the third year of Huangyou, Bi Sheng was very old, and he was ready to return to his hometown no longer with his plate-making apprentices, so he invited my father to go to Hangzhou, and my father took me with him. After the meeting, Bi Sheng took out a few wooden boards for my father and son to admire, and the first time we saw the movable type board, we both thought it was very magical, that is, the fixed whole carved board was improved and replaced with movable type. After his father saw it, he also came up with the money to help him promote this kind of movable type printing books. Who knew that he said that the wooden board was an object used by the Mingjiao to print scriptures, and because it was related to the internal affairs of the Mingjiao, it was not suitable for the time being. When my father saw that he refused, he gave up, but he felt sorry for him. However, Bi Sheng died less than three months after that meeting. Not long after that, my father received a letter from Bi Sheng, saying that those wooden boards were actually the holy books of the Demon Sect that the leader of the Ming Sect ordered him to create, and although they were engraved with the scriptures of the Ming Sect, there was a great secret hidden in them, and this secret was unknown to no one in the sect. ”

At that time, there were many rumors, one said that there were treasures in the holy book, and the other said that the holy book was a secret book hidden in the supreme martial arts. But as the Flying Pirates were all but gone, so did the gossip.

As soon as Qiu Yiyun heard that Shen Kuo had received a letter mentioning a big secret, he remembered those rumors and hurriedly asked, "Does that letter say how to unlock the secret of the holy book?"

Shen Kuo sighed and said: "The letter only says that I am afraid that someone may covet the holy book, if the holy book is left outside in the future, I ask my father to do everything in his power to find it, and the secret can only be solved by my father." But who knew that my father suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away at the end of that year, and I did not investigate the matter again because of the funeral. Later, there was an uproar in the rivers and lakes, and I learned that the holy book had been stolen and its whereabouts were unknown. ”

For a moment, the room became silent.

After a long time, Shen Kuo said: "But now I have found a person, I am afraid that he can unlock the secret mentioned in the letter back then!"

Qiu Yiyun was angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "Lord Shen, can you stop talking and gasp?

Shen Kuo suddenly wanted to say something, but was suddenly stunned by Qiu Yiyun's roar.

Lao Qiu dared to be so loud in front of the prince. Jian Yan looked back and saw that the prince had already sat back in the middle of the room, and he didn't seem to hear Qiu Yiyun's voice at all.

Jian Yan said in his heart: Actually, it is because of the prince that he indulges Lao Qiu alone!

"Cunzhong, who is this person you found?" Zhao Hao's voice floated over casually.

Shen Kuo smiled and said: "This person lives next to the prince, and he is the owner of the garden on the other side of the mountain, named Ouyang Feng. ”

"Ouyang Feng?" Qiu Yiyun asked, "The garden on the other side of the mountain, why haven't I heard that there are people living in that place?"

"The mansion that Ouyang Gongzi is building is called 'White Camel Villa'!" Shen Kuo said with a slight expression, "I have the honor to be his guest, and I have already visited the garden. ”

Next, Shen Kuo talked about Ouyang Feng's origin and the basic situation of his villa.

Qiu Yiyun was surprised: "This Ouyang Feng from the Western Regions actually knows the Tianzhu National Master?"

"Not only does he know the Tianzhu National Master, but he also knows the Qianzi Master of Xiangguo Temple! Ouyang Gongzi wants to help the master print Buddhist scriptures, so he will go around buying the method of printing and plate making. He bought the board by chance in an antique shop in Qingzhou, and at that time he just thought it could be used to print books. ”

Qiu Yiyun said, "Wait! Lord Shen means that he doesn't know that this is the 'holy book'?"

"He has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and he has only recently returned to the Central Plains, so naturally he doesn't know about the Demon Sect Holy Book!"

Jian Yan asked, "Lord Shen, since you say that this person doesn't even know that this is a holy book, how can you say that he can unlock the secrets in it?"

"I don't know ...... yet."

Qiu Yiyun was already a big old man with a straight intestine, and said angrily: "Lord Shen, aren't you a fool?"

Jian Yan said: "Lao Qiu, don't interrupt!"

Shen Kuo said: "I asked for this imitation from Ouyang Gongzi, just to let the prince and you see the original face of the Demon Sect Holy Book. There were a total of four real holy books, and two of them were in Ouyang Gongzi's hands right now! He really didn't know that this was the Demon Sect Holy Book at first, but when he imitated the movable type board, he also found that the structure of these two plates was unusual, and it seemed that there were some mechanisms. ”

"Organ?" Jian Shi and Qiu Yiyun glanced at each other.

"I saw with my own eyes that Ouyang Gongzi fiddled with his hands twice, and the words on the wooden board could be moved. It's just that he said that if he didn't collect all the planks, he wouldn't be able to unlock the mechanism. ”

Zhao Hao sat up straight from the chair, his eyes shone slightly, and he muttered to himself in a very low voice: "Mechanism...... This is not Lonely's expectation!" With that, his head turned to the side, but he could no longer hide his uncontrollable surprise.

Qiu Yiyun turned his head and saw the expression of the prince, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Over the years, only he has served closely, and no one is more familiar with the prince's every move than him, even the extremely small expression.

Even if he is very interested in something, the prince rarely shows his heart as much as he does now.

Jian Yan said: "He wants to use this thing to print books? Does he know how many lives have been lost on these wooden boards?"

"I'm afraid that Ouyang Gongzi doesn't know what's in it, in case the people of the Ming Sect think that he has something to do with the theft of books back then......" Shen Kuo swallowed half of his words, and said instead, "Of course, I have repeatedly warned him, the book is printed like an engraving plate, don't take this thing outside to cause trouble!!"

Jian Shi nodded.

"Stabilize this person first, but it's the right thing!" Zhao Hao had already recovered his previous expression, and his voice did not carry any warmth.

Qiu Yiyun leaned in and asked, "Do you want to let Mengren go to that White Camel Mountain Villa to investigate, and check the details of this person by the way?"

Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "No, since Cunzhong is already a guest of this Ouyang Gongzi, I will continue to make friends with him." With this shortcut, there is no need to bother Mengren, let him and Jian Shi concentrate on arresting the arsonist!"

Qiu Yiyun immediately replied yes.

Zhao Hao glanced at Shen Kuo deeply and said, "Cunzhong, you just need to remember that Gu is very interested in that 'holy book'. ”

Shen Kuo's heart sank, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Although Ouyang Feng is a person from outside the territory, he is a first-class talent, and his subordinates also want to recruit this person for the prince." But please rest assured, you know which is more important than the other!"

Zhao Hao said: "It's very good, I can think through this, and I will cultivate it in vain." ”

At this time, a little servant outside the door said: "Master, the little prince is here!"

"Fourth brother is here?" Zhao Hao showed a kind look on his face, "Take him to Luoxue Pavilion, and I'll go over immediately." ”

Before leaving, Zhao Hao turned around and swept his eyes, his eyes were dark, and his voice was as cold as an ice needle: "Although you don't care who you interact with, you must also know your identity, don't be caught by outsiders!"

Jian Yan, Wei Pu and Shen Kuo said in unison, "The subordinates (Xiaomin) understand. ”

Luoxue Pavilion is a small pavilion connected to the prince's study, there is a small garden next to the small pavilion, "as" the place of activities after reading, repair bamboo, strange stones, green pine, painting pavilion, although the garden is small, the scenery is very elegant.

When Zhao Hao came in, he saw a boy in a blue brocade shirt in civilian clothes, standing next to the bookcase and looking at an ancient painting.

Hearing the footsteps, he hurriedly turned around, took a step with a smile, and shouted affectionately: "Second brother!"

The boy was the fourth prince who disguised himself as Zhao Hao, the king of Le'an County, who left the palace in disguise. He has always been close to Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, and he doesn't need a small servant to guide the way when he enters the mansion, he will find the way and wait in the Luoxue Pavilion.

"Didn't you come back in three days, why did you come today?"

"I didn't know that the second brother came back from the imperial mausoleum today, so I came in a hurry. And Yuan Xiao was also sent out of the palace by the imperial brother, and no one played with me, so it was not interesting at all!"

"Lantern Festival?

"Second brother clearly knows who I'm talking about!"

"Lan Yuanxiao, Lord Lan Yuanzhen's younger brother, the famous 'Little Lan Lord'!"

Seeing that the second brother was joking with him, Zhao Hao learned what he had done with Lan Yuanxiao before.

Zhao Hao laughed and said, "The little eunuch can't even recognize the fourth son of the first overlord in the palace?"

The fourth son of the emperor has never met anyone who dares to fight with him, and even the queen mother, who is very strict with several brothers and sisters, is also very fond of him. He is a prince, and he is taught to be young and old, but in fact, his nature is not like this, he is an eclectic and curious child, or he would not follow Liang Huaiji to learn martial arts.

Zhao Hao said: "You are close to this little blue lord, do you know that his reputation in the palace is not good?"

Zhao Yan raised his head and thought about it, and replied: "I don't care what the rumors say, Yuan Xiao is excellent in front of me, I only believe in my own feelings!"

"Excellent ......" Zhao Hao frowned slightly, and said in his heart: Little fool, do you know how much silver that "Little Blue Lord" got from me?

"Yes, I heard that he has suffered a lot during this time in the night patrol outside the palace, second brother, you tell Lord Shenzhu, don't let him be so embarrassed Yuanxiao, okay?"

"Jianxi?" Zhao Hao said, "He was still in my study just now, if you want to intercede for someone, can't you just talk to him?"

Zhao Hao said in his heart: Jian Yan's temper is very big, and as soon as I open my mouth, it backfires. He pouted: "Forget it, I suddenly don't want to intercede for Yuan Xiao! It's good to let him suffer a little! Who let him leave me alone and go out of the palace by himself!"

Zhao Hao was amused and said, "You! I just said that people are suffering outside the palace, and now it seems that he has gone to live happily." ”

His younger brother is actually very weird, he can't see it in the palace, and he gets along with himself in private, and his eccentric temperament is not restrained at all.

"By the way," Zhao Hao continued, "have you seen the queen mother these days?"

After the bowing ceremony, they were not allowed to stay, so they let everyone go back to the palace. The royal sister complained directly, and she couldn't say anything considerate to her mother if she wanted to. ”

"Considerate words?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I see that your two imperial sisters are spring-hearted, and they want the queen mother to choose a horse for them!"

Zhao Hao looked like a little adult and said, "I also think that's the case!"

Zhao Hao said very dotingly: "When my brother is done with the things at hand, I will go with you to visit the queen mother!"

"Second brother, has the 'Female Doctor Saint' arrived at your house?"

"Little Lady Zhang hasn't arrived yet, but Sister Tan and her senior sister, as well as a group of female apprentices of Little Lady Zhang, have arrived, and they are preparing for what will happen in three days!" Zhao Hao said, "Since you are here, I will take you to see your sister Tan." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Hao secretly gritted the root of his teeth, trying to control his emotions.

Zhao Hao saw that his younger brother promised but couldn't take a step, and said with a smile: "What, are you so afraid of Jing'er?"

Zhao Hao pursed his lips and said, "Look at what the second brother said, it seems that I am really afraid of women, let's go!"

The two chatted while walking, Qiu Yiyun silently followed behind them, and the three of them walked together towards the cabinet on the west side of the palace.

Earlier that day, Chris was holding a copy of a movable type board from a printing workshop and discussing with the craftsmen how to improve it. If she knew that someone would be nagging her for a while, Ouyang Feng and Lan Yuanxiao would be constantly sneezing.

Shen Kuo's dissuasions were destined to fall on deaf ears to her, and with her huge plan to print scriptures, the engraving could not meet the demand at all, and movable type printing had to be used.
