Chapter 10: Shushan Moyi
The light in the building was dim and gloomy, and the woman Zi Ning turned around and saw was Mo Yikui, dressed in dark yellow clothes, reflecting her pale and blue face.
Mo Yikui was furious, her eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and she shouted: "I told you to hide in the box, why did you run out." The emperor is injured, this birch palace is full of people inside and outside, how many lives do you have?"
She sent Fang Yan to Zunhua Palace to visit Emperor Fa Jiu, but she was always worried about Zi Ning's safety. So he lied that he went back to Cailan Palace to pick up Princess Tong, and hurriedly came out of the main palace in the rain, and before he had gone far, he met Zi Ning under the cliff.
I couldn't help but feel a little afraid in my heart, if I was touched by the palace guards, Zi Ning's life would be difficult to protect.
Zi Ning raised her eyes to look at Mo Yikui, and saw that she looked anxious, and she looked very worried. couldn't help but grin: "I didn't expect you to care about me so much, I'm a little moved." In that case, let's write off the fact that you kidnapped me this morning. ”
Mo Yikui stared at her for a long time, the tension in her eyes slowly relaxed, and she snorted: "You are so reckless, sooner or later you will cause trouble." After a pause, he said, "My name is Mo Yikui, and I am the maid next to Princess Tong, and this morning's ...... Actually, it was a misunderstanding, I originally ...... I don't want to kidnap you. ”
She is not good at interacting with people, let alone a delicate person, and it is already very laborious to explain these things to Zi Ning, and her face turned red as soon as she said two words.
Zi Ning blinked and smiled: "I know your name is Mo Yikui, let's not talk about this morning's incident." You helped me say good things in front of Princess Tong, so you are a good person, I can tell the difference. But can you tell me why you took me to the princess's bedchamber?"
Zi Ning is very curious about this matter, she is the rough little maid of the outer palace gate, Mo Yikui is the maid of Princess Tong in the inner palace, the two don't know each other at all, why did Mo Yikui come to the outer palace gate to look for her?
There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, Mo Yikui sniffed deeply with her nose, frowned, and hurriedly said: "I will tell you about this matter in the future." It's just that I don't know what kind of place it is, it's so weird. As he spoke, he raised his head and looked around, looking around at the meditation building.
Zi Ning looked at her confused expression, and couldn't help but be shocked, and asked, "You don't know where this is, so you dare to break in?" You are so bold, you are more reckless than me." ”
This building is built on a cliff face, which is very strange in its own right. At this time, if you look at the building carefully, you will feel even more peculiar, the magnificent and empty hall is full of mist, and the surrounding area is filled with deep darkness, as if you can't touch the edge. The two of them stood in the center of the main hall, and they looked unusually small.
Mo Yikui raised his neck, looked at the top of the main hall in disbelief, and exclaimed: "I have been in the Fa Gu Palace for ten years, and I have never heard of such a palace in the Zunhua Palace. Her voice rang out, reaching the roof of the temple, stirring up an echo of emptiness.
"What did you say?" Zi Ning was even more surprised than she was, and stammered, "You mean, this ...... This high-rise building came out of nowhere, and there was no such meditation building before?" Turning her eyes to look at the Vermilion Gate, she saw a large number of densely carved windows on the left and right, extending from the bottom to the top, and where her eyes were exhausted, the windows became more and more dense, and there seemed to be no end in sight.
Mo Yikui's gaze stayed on the cliff wall on the other side, and he nodded slightly: "That's right, this is the back mountain of the Zunhua Palace, where the emperor often cultivates formations, and there is no such temple at all." "The blue-gray stone walls are inlaid with layers of rosewood bookshelves, on which are placed scrolls of silk books and bamboo slips, and when you look up, the scrolls go straight to the top of the building.
Zi Ning followed her gaze and saw countless rosewood bookshelves, arranged like dense honeycombs, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and sighed again and again: "This is the library of Emperor Fado, the emperor is really knowledgeable, he has read so many books!" These bookshelves seem to be built into the bluestone wall, stacked layer by layer towards the height, there is a deep and mysterious feeling.
There was not a single trace of dust on the shelves, the corners of the rosewood rubbed brightly, and it was clear that someone often took the scrolls on the shelves. Zi Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly, Emperor Fa Gu read every day, and over time, even the bookshelves were smooth.
Countless windows let in half-dim light, Zi Ning looked up, and there seemed to be two night pearls glowing at the top of the building at the limit. Because the distance was too far away, and there was another layer of mist above, the halo of the night pearl did not look bright at all.
At this time, Mo Yikui said, "It's really strange, you came to see this painting." ”
Zi Ning turned to look and saw Mo Yikui standing two feet away from her, staring at a wall in a daze. She hurriedly ran over to look, but saw a soft felt mat spread on the bluestone floor near the bookshelf, on which a wide table was placed. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are readily available, and there is a bronze Rui beast incense burner standing next to it, and thick incense ash is sinking in the furnace.
There is a gray empty wall behind several cases, and there is a square ink painting hanging, the ink is dull, slightly dyed, and it is an ink-colored bat.
A huge black bat spreads its teeth and claws, rendering thick dark clouds up and down. Zi Ning felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and secretly wondered: "The person who painted this bat has a dark heart, it's so terrifying, he actually hangs it on the wall to admire." There was a gloom in the surrounding fog, Zi Ning turned his head to look left and right, feeling a little frightened, and whispered: "Mo Yikui, I don't think it's appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go." ”
Mo Yikui looked at her with a pair of eyes, her expression was very serious, and said, "Since you know that there are strangeness, you have to find out." This meditation building is obviously a long time ago, and the emperor has been using the formation to hide the study building, so no one knows. I don't know what happened today, the hidden formation disappeared, and we just broke in by chance, maybe there is a legacy left by the immortal clan here. You are so timid, how will you cultivate immortals in the future?"
Zi Ning was speechless for a while, blushed and muttered: "Just now you said that I was reckless, this will say that I am timid, Sister Yi Kui, I am a mortal, and I can't cultivate, it is normal to be a little scared when I encounter such a strange thing." ”
"Don't call me Sister Kui!" Mo Kui interrupted her, glanced sideways and said, "My surname is Mo Yi, and my single name is Aoi." The implication is that if Zi Ning calls her, it must also be Sister Moyi, or Sister Aoi.
Zi Ning's face turned red, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that there was a compound surname of Moyi." Secretly feeling embarrassed, he thought: "It turns out that there are people in the immortal world who have their surname Moyi, but I haven't heard of it, it really seems uneducated." ”
Mo Yi Kui showed a bitter smile, how brilliant the Mo Yi family used to be, but unfortunately now the entire Shushan Wonderland has declined, and she is the only one left who has the surname Mo Yi in the wilderness.
Zi Ning saw that she was silent, although she barely squeezed out a smile on her face, her expression was not very good-looking, and she suddenly remembered the book "Chronicle of the History of the Ancient Immortal Dao Realm" written by Liang Ziye, among the surnames of the immortal clan recorded in it, there was the surname Mo Yifu of the Shushan Immortal Clan, she patted her head and exclaimed in surprise: "You...... Are you from the Shushan Immortal Clan?"
Mo Yikui's color changed when he heard this, and he was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a strange movement outside the door, his eyes were startled, and he hurriedly said: "Hide, someone is coming!"
Zi Ning panicked and asked, "Where to hide, this ...... There's nowhere to hide here?" she turned around and looked around, and there was nothing else in the library except for the bookshelves, several cases, incense burners, picture scrolls, and the like in the inlaid stone walls, and there was no place to cover it at all.
Mo Yikui was calm and calm, raised his hand and pointed to the roof of the building, on which were a few vermilion thick wooden rafters, and said, "Hide up there." ”
Zi Ning looked up, her face couldn't help twitching, the wooden rafters were ridiculously high, and she hurriedly said, "Sister Moyi, forget it there, if it falls, it will definitely fall into flesh." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mo Yikui had already raised her hand to throw out a long white silk, and the other hand grabbed her waist, jumped up with a "whoosh", and flew up with her feet on the white silk. Like a light swallow, it whirls around, and in an instant its feet are on the thick wooden beams on the roof of the building.
Immediately after that, there was a chaotic sound of the window paper, and the vermilion door "creaked", and someone walked into the library building softly, and suddenly a cool breeze was involved, and an abnormal air flow in the hall slowly fluttered. Then the door closed, and calm returned to the air.
A masked woman dressed in black, slender and emaciated, with very light steps, stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at the bookshelf on the side of the stone wall. After a while, she wrapped up a ball of immortal magic shields around her, frowned slightly, and looked up at the layers of bookshelves, with a confused expression on her face.
She raised her hand upwards and waved, and the silk silk on the high bookshelf fell down one by one, took it in her hand, opened the scroll and looked at it twice, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the scroll floated back to its original place. Over and over again, one after another, when I opened the silk silk, I didn't even flip through the book, as if I was looking for something.
Zi Ning and Mo Yikui were both lying on the beam, their heads facing each other, looking down with their eyes down. Mo Yikui scanned the past with her divine sense, and saw that the woman covered her face with a black cloth, her hair was coiled into a bun of flowers and branches that middle-aged people often comb, and her steps were very calm, she was a woman with immortal magic.
Zi Ning also poked her head out curiously, but only saw a gray patch, and vaguely recognized a vague figure standing next to the bookshelf in the main hall. She looked down from the top of the man's head like a small black turnip, and she couldn't even tell the difference between male and female.
The probe looked at it for a long time, and found that it was too high from the ground, and I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. She was worried that she had a fear of heights, so she quickly withdrew her gaze, diverted her attention and asked Mo Yikui, "Do you have anything to eat?" At this time, it was past noon, she hadn't eaten for two days, and she lay on the roof beam, and her stomach suddenly panicked.
Mo Yikui saw her showing a pitiful look, swallowed "bar" in her mouth, and said in a low voice: "You girl is really troublesome, hiding on the top of this palace, and still thinking about eating!"
Zi Ning's stomach rumbled, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm hungry—"
Mo Yikui raised her finger and said "shhhh She has been serving Princess Tong since she was a child, and she thought that the princess was the most troublesome woman in the world, but now that she saw Zining, she realized that the girl in front of her was a hundred times more troublesome than the princess.
Zi Ning stretched out her tongue and curled up very depressedly, only to feel that her back and legs hurt, and the cracked wound on her body was hot and painful. I secretly regretted in my heart: "If I knew this, I should have gone to the imperial dining room to hide, I could get something to eat, and even if I was caught, I would be a full ghost." Isn't it a sin to be so hungry that your chest is close to your back, but it's a pity that this is a library building, and those books can only be read and not eaten. ”
I think of the pastries I used to make, tiramisu, doughnuts, cream rice cakes, mille-feuille...... It was fragrant and glutinous, and I couldn't help but drool and swallow my saliva hard. She was quiet for a moment, her stomach "growled" again, and she couldn't help but wail secretly: "I'm so hungry, it's good to have a baked cake." ”
――――
