Eaglewood Crumbs - Chapter 44
The third artifact is in Nandu, and Nandu is now the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. To place this artifact somewhere in the southern capital, it would be in the Royal Palace. It is said that a certain local official in the north got this artifact and thought it was very unique, so he put it in the tribute and sent it to the palace.
Yan Dan secretly glanced at Yu Mo unkindly, thinking in his heart, they really have an inseparable connection with the royal family. Back then, Yu Mo didn’t know where to get the strange eye-it was a treasure that contained the essence of the heavens and the earth, and was able to permeate the cycle of the world. An accident was obtained by a beautiful florid girl without pains. On the way to evade Yu Mo from chasing and killing, the flower girl had a mortal relationship with a mortal, and that mortal, who happened to be the emperor of the true dragon, now sits on the world, with endless glory.
Just thinking about the love-hate entanglement, she felt that it was more exciting than any drama.
“There are still two artifacts left, and the one in the southern capital may not be the earth stop.” Liu Weiyang took the lead, but walked through the underground caves in this area. Because of the previous dream, Yan Dan clearly remembered the appearance of the big basilisk under the cave. The basilisk is very majestic, with two eyes like big yellow lanterns, and its open mouth has sharp fangs that can swallow her in one bite.
Tianshi Tang hasn’t been in a bad mood lately. Hearing Liu Weiyang’s words, he responded indifferently: “I know it’s not that easy, but if you look for it slowly, there will always be a day when you find it.”
Liu Weiyang nodded slightly: “It’s good if you can think like this.”
Yan Dan was very strange. It seemed that Palace Master Liu had been unusually polite to Tang and Zhou in the past few days. He would discuss the Fa with him on weekdays, even if his words were not as good as they were before.
While they were talking, they had already reached the cave where they encountered the basilisk that day, and saw two big yellow lanterns slowly moving in front of them in the dark, and suddenly stopped moving.
Yan Dan was immediately alert.
But seeing Liu Weiyang taking a step forward, the basilisk immediately fell down and rubbed against his feet as if to please, and almost shook his head and tailed, showing off a dogleg look. Liu Weiyang didn’t squint, and passed by the basilisk. When Yu Mo walked over, the basilisk visibly flinched and moved back against the ground, seeming to remember how he cleaned it that day. Yan Dan put his finger against his chin and thought, not to mention how big its body is, it can be seen clearly no matter how much it shrinks. When Tang Zhou passed by, the basilisk just moved its tail, but fell on the ground without moving.
Yan Dan was completely relieved. When Liu Weiyang wanted to come to Liu Weiyang to pretend to be Wu Shun, he had also fallen into this underground cave. With his ability, this basilisk could remember his methods forever.
She had just raised her foot and walked two steps, only to see the triangular snake face with scales suddenly approaching her, hissed twice, and the forked tongue swallowed in and out in front of her.
What a dog-legged snake who tends to be inflamed, bullies and fears hardship!
Yan Dan became angry. He pulled down the stalagmites standing next to him and yanked away at the snake face. The basilisk didn’t want her to suddenly get angry and was beaten to the ground and rolled twice. Slowly climbed into the shadows.
Yan Dan threw down the stalagmites on his hands, dusted the stone chips on his hands, and grunted, “Is it true that I can bully casually…”
She walked a few steps closer, and only then did she see the look of the three people in front of them, they were all so strange.
Tang Zhou said: “The monsters and monsters are also considered to be in the same family, not to mention that they are really similar to you.”
Yan Dan’s anger was deeper: “Where does it resemble it? It is to blame. I am a monster. It is a snake and I am a scorpion. I don’t have scales on it!” Although she doesn’t know if this basilisk is considered to be a squat. A more beautiful basilisk, but from her point of view, this basilisk really looks a little bit cold.
Tang Zhou smiled slightly: “It’s not about looks, but temperament.”
What is her temperament, Yan Dan herself can’t say well, so she can only turn her head and look at Yu Mo: “Am I like it?”
Yu Mo actually avoided her ardent gaze, turned his head and fell silent.
Yan Dan could only go to see Liu Weiyang, they had also sympathized with each other somehow, they were more or less affectionate. But Young Master Liu was obviously very supportive of Tang Zhou’s field, nodded slightly and said: “It’s very similar.”
Yan Dan was hit hard.
The basilisk crawled back slowly, shyly showing a shy look to Palace Master Liu.
Yan Dan followed the back with a sullen face. When he passed by the basilisk, he could no longer hold it back, and stepped directly on it.
From Zhu Cui Mountain in the southwest to the southern capital, it would take more than a month even if it was driving day and night. They spent two months on the road, and when they reached the southern capital, it was early autumn. Autumn in the southern capital is always rainy and humid, and misty and misty. If you compare this ancient city to a lady, then the southern capital in the autumn is a beautiful woman who is sluggish and lazy after removing her makeup, but she does not lose her grace.
Yan Dan likes this place in Southern Capital. Here is the night, it will not become lonely and quiet. She was able to sit on the roof and listen to the singing and laughter from the Zhangtai River in the distance on many sleepless nights before.
However, revisiting the old place this time really made her unhappy. As one of the demons and ghosts, she had to walk with the heavenly masters and immortals, which was considered torture. Tang Zhou’s mouth was sometimes too vicious, Liu Weiyang was very polite to him for some reason, but Yu Mo, who should be the most confidant, left her alone and watched her fend for herself. So Yu Yan Dan said in the past two months, it was definitely a huge mental torture. He had suffered three times the torture. Just thinking about it, his mood was a little vicissitudes of life.
“The third artifact is in the palace. I will stay outside to pick it up, and you will deal with the others yourself.” Liu Weiyang walked into the guest room of the inn, sat down at the table, and ordered the shopkeeper to buy one. The chess pieces were sent here, thinking that I wanted to play chess with myself to kill time.
Tang Zhou nodded, “We should wait until it gets dark before leaving. After all, this time is considered to be stealing.”
Yan Dan thought for a while, and felt that going to the palace to steal something under the emperor’s nose was really exciting and interesting: “I’ll be blindfolded. It’s not difficult to sneak into the palace, but in case I run into some powerful spells. You still have to deal with it.”
Tang Zhou looked at her with a smile on his lips: “So in case you get caught, don’t rush to confess me.”
Yan Dan immediately retorted: “Who knows if you were caught first?”
Suddenly, Yu Mo said quietly: “It’s enough for you two to go, I won’t go.”
Yan Dan was surprised: “Are you not going? Why?”
Yu Mo sullenly said nothing.
“Do you think being a thief is too shameful?”
“Or do you think the palace is too lazy to leave?”
“Could it be that you are afraid of seeing some old acquaintances in the palace?” Yan Dan asked a few words, but Yu Mo didn’t say a word and had to give up, “Well, it doesn’t matter if you like to stay in the inn and rest, anyway. And Tang Zhou should be able to deal with it.”
The most important thing is finalized. Everyone should go back to the guest room. It is time to rest and prepare for tonight.
Yan Dan walked to his guest room and couldn’t help but ask Tang Zhou in a low voice: “Do you think that Yu Mo always keeps a straight face recently, even if he asks him, he doesn’t say anything, as if someone owes it. He doesn’t pay it back. I clearly remember that I haven’t angered him recently…”
In the past two decades, it was enough for her to slowly understand a person.
However, these two decades have been only a short period of time for the demon. She thought she knew Yu Mo and knew that he liked quietness and wouldn’t deliberately go to anyone to be particularly close. It was not really cold. Only now I realized that this kind of understanding is far from enough. In the hundreds of years that he had never met before, she had never understood what kind of past he had, what kind of joys and sorrow he had, and what love and hate parting he had had.
It’s like she never mentions the part of her stay in Heavenly Court.
Tang Zhou was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, “Don’t you keep talking, or you can think of what he is thinking when you see Brother Yu’s hair? Shouldn’t you know this matter better than me?”
Yan Dan sighed and murmured, “If I knew what would I ask you to do? I have only heard that girls’ minds are more delicate and fickle. I didn’t expect that even men are so difficult to handle now.”
In the evening, the inner city was closed and Xuanhua Gate was closed.
Yan Dan put a blind eye, and Tang Zhou mingled in while the Yulin Army was handed over. She had only seen the words and expressions describing the imperial palace in the book, but now she saw it with her own eyes, and she couldn’t help feeling suddenly: “Actually, I think that if it is magnificent, the world can’t find a better place than this palace, but In terms of elegance and courage, Jinghu Shuiyue is even better. There is a Rui emperor from the Great Zhou in the south, and a civil earth emperor in the southwest.”
Tang Zhou said categorically without hesitation: “Nonsense.”
Yan Dan hummed twice, not wanting to argue with him.
There are five gates in the Great Zhou Palace. They walked through the Huayang Gate on the east side, leading directly to the Imperial Study Room.
Yan Dan thought about it, and felt that since it was a divine tool, it was a great treasure. Even if it was the Ninety-Five Supreme, when he saw such a thing, he would become curious for a while, saying that he would put it in the study room for fun.
When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the sky was just a little dark. The **** who was serving in the study lit up a few colorful gold lamps around, took a piece of white cloth and wiped all the desk cabinets, looking at his hands. There was no dust on the white cloth, so he closed the door and went out.
As soon as the **** had left, Yan Dan immediately opened the door and slipped in, freeing his blindfold. The demon technique has been used continuously, for them demon, it is troublesome and exhausting.
Yan Dan rubbed his hands and said, “Let’s look for the study again. If there is no one, we will go to the storeroom. If there is no more, we will catch someone to ask.
Tang Zhou didn’t wait for her to finish, so he looked for it himself. Yan Dan also walked to the front of the cabinet and took a close look. There were indeed a few antique treasures on the cabinet, but they didn’t look like artifacts. She couldn’t help but think that she had read in the history books that the emperor of a certain dynasty had no other preferences, except for fighting the weaving. As a result, the imperial study room was full of bottles and jars for the weaving. But now it seems that the Rui emperor doesn’t seem to have any preferences, except for a few good-looking antiques, that is, shelves full of books, and on the desk except for two neatly stacked bright yellow silk. The memorial, there is nothing abrupt.
Tang Zhou frowned and said in a low voice: “It seems that you still have to look for it in the warehouse. I’m afraid that it may not be able to turn the warehouse around until dawn.”
“It’s a pity that I haven’t seen what that artifact looks like. I only feel it when I hold it in my hand, otherwise I can dig it out with just a spell.”
“It’s okay, if it’s too late, I’ll come back tomorrow night.”
Yan Dan watched him not speak, but said in his heart, he doesn’t think it’s funny to jump in and out with blindfolded eyes, right?
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps from far to near. They only heard a sharp and thin voice saying: “My lord, my lord, you go slowly.” Then came the sound of a piece of cloth rubbing, a dozen totally different The voices said in unison: “Long live the emperor, long live the emperor.”
Yan Dan was agitated, feeling that this was really a bit bad, and only felt that Tang Zhou pulled her slightly and pointed upward. Yan Dan knew immediately, and as he jumped onto the high beams, he squatted quietly. Probably because of the high beams of the house, it can be seen that it is not cleaned frequently, let alone spotless, there are two shallow footprints immediately after stepping on it.
Yan Dan inhaled the dust and almost coughed.
Tang Zhou’s eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he immediately stretched out his hand to cover her mouth tightly, and he was relieved. If they broke into the palace like this, if they were discovered, it would be a crime of decapitation.
Yan Dan was covered with half of his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, his eyes rolled a few times, and he viciously signaled Tang Zhou to let go. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhou was looking down, but his strength was not loose at all.
I saw a bright yellow figure walking in, followed by a few eunuchs and court ladies. The man walked over to the desk, pulled the chair away and sat down, and Gu Zi took a memorial and began to read it. The leading **** next to him took the tea cup from the bottom, took out a silver needle from his sleeve and stirred it in the tea, then poured some of the teapot into an empty cup and took a sip by himself. After a while, the tea cup was placed gently on the emperor’s left hand.
Yan Dan looked down, and it was vaguely visible that the face of the man sitting at the desk was still a little different from twenty years ago. She and Yu Mo met this Ruidi 20 years ago on the bank of the Zhangtai River outside the Southern Capital City. At that time, he was involved in the dispute between the king and the king and was ambushed in the center of the river by a murderer who had fallen down. The act of bullying more and less happened in broad daylight, and was driven by a sense of justice that burned from head to toe.
Time is not forgiving. Compared with twenty years ago, Ruidi is really much older, and his temples are a little pale, but his brows are still handsome and his eyes are clear and compelling. He sat there, looking through the memorials one by one, sometimes he would put up a pen to comment, and sometimes he just glanced at it and closed it and set it aside.
Yan Dan squatted on the beam in a panic, couldn’t help but look at the sky outside. If he approves a memorial for a few hours, wouldn’t she have to squat on it for a few hours?
Tang Zhou let go of his hand, and used his internal force to transmit the sound to her: “Don’t move, forbearance and pass.”
Yan Dan forcefully broke his hand off his face.
Just listen to the **** headed in a sharp voice: “The emperor, you see it’s not too early, why don’t you pass the meal first?”
Ruidi hummed softly, and said in a deep voice: “No, wait for Jiang Fei’s place later.”
Yan Dan couldn’t help sighing in his heart, this emperor is really dedicated to national affairs, he didn’t even have time to eat dinner, and in the end he had a supper at his concubine’s concubine. She slowly moved closer to Tang Zhou’s face, lowering her voice to a very low level: “I still know this emperor. Do you want to ask him directly, or continue to be a thief?”
She had already figured it out clearly that she didn’t use her internal force to transmit voice like Tang Zhou, so she could only work hard to get close to his ear to speak, only to say such a word, Tang Zhou suddenly pushed her away.
Yan Dan didn’t even have time to struggle before he fell off the beam of the house.
