The lanterns were lit at the beginning, the moon was full on the east mountain, and the Xuanyi Garden was peaceful and peaceful.
After dinner, Xiao Chuo helped Yelvxian lie down, and then stood alone in the yard to get some air. The breath of spring was not strong this time. The unitary hour had passed, and the cold wind hit his cheeks, making it very cool.
Xiao Chuo's face was as frosty and his breathing was heavy. In the afternoon, she asked Yelu Longxu for a question. After asking sternly, Yelu Longxu told her about the conversation with Yelu Xiyin in the cave of the Valley of the Kings. He had never told her before.
She was willing to tell Xiao Chuo, but she was worried that it would implicate Xiao Si. Xiao Chuo pressed her closely, so she had no choice but to tell the truth. Xiao Chuo was shocked after hearing this. She had already heard a rough idea of the secrets in the ancestral hall of the villa from Shi Gandang, but
It’s not clear exactly what it is. Now that I have received accurate information from my own child, I can no longer feel the shock in my heart.
After standing for a long time, he called a maid over, whispered a few words to her, and then quietly left the yard and walked towards the back of the village. After walking a few steps, he met the watchman of the village, Old Hu. As soon as he saw Xiao
Chuo immediately ran over and saluted Xiao Chuo: "Queen, it's so late, where are you going?"
Xiao Chuo naturally recognized him and said calmly: "You have nothing to do after you eat. Let's go and hang out in the back."
Lao Hu was secretly shocked, seeing that his wife was preparing to go to the ancestral hall in the backyard, which was a forbidden area of the villa and no one was allowed to enter. He hurriedly said: "My wife, it's cold and windy, you'd better go back to Xuanyi Garden to rest."
Xiao Chuo sneered and said, "Are you trying to stop me?"
Lao Hu lowered his head and said, "I don't dare!"
Xiao Chuo glanced sideways at Lao Hu, snorted, walked towards the back of the village, and said coldly: "Don't follow me!"
Old Hu was stunned and stood there for a long time without daring to move.
Xiao Chuo gradually walked up the green brick corridor, walked more than a hundred feet, and arrived at Xiao Si's yard. She stopped on the path and peeked into the yard, and saw that it was quiet and without any lights.
Suddenly there was some warmth on his face, and a smile came to his lips. After a while, he calmed down and continued walking towards the back.
After turning a corner, the path suddenly opened up and turned into a flat brick ground. A towering hall appeared in front of him. Xiao Chuo looked solemn as he walked to His Highness and squinted at the plaque hanging above the palace door--
--Calling Dragon Ancestral Hall?
"It turns out to be the Queen of Khitan, may I ask what brings you here?" At this time, a little old man with a slight back on his back appeared out of nowhere and asked suddenly.
Xiao Chuo didn't know Yan Guichen, and saw that he spoke to him in a cold tone without any respect. Although he was angry, he still smiled slightly and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Yan Guichen said: "I am from this villa, so I will naturally be here."
Xiao Chuo said: "What is this place? Who is enshrined in this ancestral hall?"
Yan Guichen looked at Xiao Chuo blankly, thinking in his heart that if he tried to stop her, it would only make her more suspicious. It was really not the time to fall out with the Khitan royal family. But if he told her, the secret in the ancestral hall would finally be revealed.
It will be revealed to the world, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will sweep away the branches and make it difficult for people to control. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, he slowly said: "This ancestral hall is enshrined in an old friend. Your Majesty, please don't go in. It has not been here for many years."
Cleaning, it’s very dusty, you’d better come back.”
Although he said it politely, how could Xiao Chuo leave so easily? He asked softly: "You don't want me to go in, do you?"
Yan Guichen said: "Because this is a forbidden area of the villa, I am responsible for guarding here. No one is allowed to enter!"
Xiao Chuo said: "Then you don't even allow me?"
Yan Guichen said solemnly: "Please don't embarrass me!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to compromise, Xiao Chuo looked at the plaque on the main hall and muttered to himself: "Huanlong Temple, Huanlong, Huanlong? These two words are so imaginative!"
Yan Guichen looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently: "My dear, what are you doing? It's just an ancestral hall, why are you making such a fuss?"
Xiao Chuo sneered: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as an ancestral hall, right?" Then his eyes fell directly on the couplets on both sides of the door, "There are strange green peaks above, and the dragon veins of the truth are revealed below." His heart was suddenly touched,
I recited it silently twice, frowning.
At this time, three more people came up quickly from behind. The leader was Han Kuangsi, followed closely by Ling Wanjun and Zhang Cheng. Han Kuangsi ran over in a hurry, his face turned pale, and he said with a smile: "Queen
Madam, why are you here? Why don’t you rest in the house?”
Xiao Chuoxin said: I want to rest, can I rest? But his face said relaxedly: "Master Han, you came just in time. This ancestral hall is so magnificent, and the couplet in front of the door is also unique and extraordinary.
People are full of imagination. I want to go in and have a look, would you like to have a look?"
Han Kuangsi said: "The yin energy in this ancestral hall is very strong, which is not good for the mother's health."
Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "Does Mr. Han really think that I am a child? There are dragons hidden in your Hidden Dragon Villa, and there is actually a Dragon Calling Temple behind the villa. Anyone would want to find out, right?"
Han Kuangsi hesitated and was speechless. Ling Wanjun said in a deep voice: "This ancestral hall is dedicated to an old friend. We Han people worship dragons very much, so we gave him such a name. Please don't mind, Madam."
"Oh? Is that like this, Master Han?" Xiao Chuo asked Han Kuangsi.
Han Kuangsi replied: "Yes. Madam, we chose this name just for nostalgia."
"Since I miss you, how about you let me miss you together?"
Ling Wanjun then said: "My Lady, if I allow you to come in and pay homage to our deceased friend with us, doesn't that lower your status? You'd better please come back!"
Xiao Chuo suddenly asked: "Master Han, how often do you clean this ancestral hall?"
Han Kuangsi was startled and said casually: "This ancestral hall is very important. It must be cleaned every day!"
Xiao Chuo smiled brightly: "Then why did he say that the ancestral hall has not been cleaned for years and is full of dust?"
Yan Guichen, Han Kuangsi and Ling Wanjun looked at each other, speechless for a moment. Xiao Chuo smiled slightly and walked to the entrance of the palace as if strolling leisurely. He looked back at the stunned three people with an innocent smile on his face.
, opened the door and entered the ancestral hall!
The three of them were shocked. Yan Guichen clenched his fists and said, "If she keeps asking questions, I will slap her to death!"
Han Kuangsi turned back to glare at him and whispered: "Old Yan, don't be rash!"
Ling Wanjun took a deep breath and said: "It's best to act according to the opportunity and deal with it in a perfunctory way!"
The inside of the ancestral hall was as quiet as yesterday, clean and tidy, and the portraits behind the altar were brightly colored, as if they had just been painted. Xiao Chuo's group looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing special inside the ancestral hall, so they slowly walked to the east wall
, turned around and suddenly said to Han Kuangsi and the other three people who had followed them in: "Mr. Han, this wall looks like it has just been painted, right?"
Han Kuangsi was stunned. He didn't know what had happened here. That night Qiu Haiyue was punched by Xiaosi and the wall was smashed by him. Yan Guichen repainted the wall that night. So when Xiao Chuo came in
Then I discovered the difference here carefully.
Han Kuangsi looked back at Yan Guichen, and walked to the wall with confusion and took a closer look. Sure enough, it looked like it had just been painted. He was also confused and could only laugh and said: "Oh, this wall is a bit old.
So I had it repainted the first two days."
"Really?" Xiao Chuo looked at him with a smile and asked softly, "There are strange green peaks above, and the true dragon veins below. I don't know why your villa was chosen on Qinglong Mountain? Is it because this is the land of dragon veins? Han
Sir, can you tell me what exactly you and Butler Ling want to do?"
Han Kuangsi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "What did you say? I was favored by the emperor and the empress, and I granted my wife a high official and a generous salary. When the site of this villa was selected, it was just a
Because the terrain here is good, there is no other thought.”
Xiao Chuo smiled and said: "Then please tell me, Mr. Han, who is the person on this wall?"
Han Kuangsi felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: I will always ask what should be asked, but how should I answer? He hesitated and hesitated, obviously out of concern.
Seeing that he refused to say anything, Xiao Chuo looked at Ling Wanjun and Yan Guichen next to him, and said with a pleasant expression: "Who is on this wall? Can any of you answer me?"
Ling Wanjun and Yan Guichen were both stunned, lowering their heads and thinking quickly in their minds. They had no idea for a moment. Xiao Chuo raised his head and sighed, feeling a little disappointed: "You are not willing to answer me? Really? Then I will tell you.
Come on! The person in this painting is Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Master Han. I wonder if I am right?"
When Han Kuangsi heard this, his heart was pounding and his face was ashen. He kowtowed and said, "My Lady, how did you know?"
Xiao Chuo smiled lonely, walked under the portrait and looked at the person in the painting carefully, and said quietly: "Han Kuangsi, you are a Han nationality. Because you are proficient in medical skills, you have saved His Majesty's life many times. I will always remember it in my heart. You were in Khitan II."
For more than ten years, the late Emperor and His Majesty have treated you well, so why did you do these hidden things? Do you think Chai Rong can be resurrected with just an ancestral hall?"
Yan Guichen's eyes gradually turned cold, and his fists clenched loudly. Ling Wanjun looked at him clearly and pinched him quietly. Yan Guichen glared at him, but still calmed down. Xiao Chuo did not ignore it.
He ignored the two people's little gestures, his expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "I have been the Queen of Khitan for thirteen years, and I have never been rude to your Han family. Master Han, I will not interfere if you worship your old friend. As long as
I won’t care about anything you do that will not harm our country, the Khitan Kingdom, because you are Derang’s father after all, do you understand?”
Han Kuangsi raised his head, looked at those bright eyes, and suddenly understood in his heart. Xiao Chuo's meaning was very obvious. As long as the typhoid fever did not reach her Khitan territory, she could not pursue the matter at the ancestral hall. Because after all,
There was also Han Derang in the middle. Although she, Xiao Chuo, was vicious and vicious, she had a deep affection for Han Derang. She immediately kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, empress!"
Xiao Chuo smiled faintly and shouted outside: "Abuge, come in."
Someone outside responded: "Yes!" As soon as the door opened, Abuge walked in meekly and stood behind Xiao Chuo without saying a word.
When Xiao Chuo arrived, he had told his men to ask Abuge to come and pick him up. But he did not get her summons, so Abuge had no choice but to stand outside the ancestral hall and wait.
As soon as Abu Ge came in, the ancestral hall immediately became quiet. Xiao Chuo stood in front of the altar table with his hands behind his back, looking up at the portraits on the wall. At this time, suddenly there was a strange vibration under his feet, which made the altar table jump.
, the portrait trembled wildly. Xiao Chuo squinted his eyes and listened carefully for a while, turned back to look at Han Kuangsi, and asked doubtfully: "Master Han, what is going on?"
Under the ancestral hall, inside the cave, when Xiaosi revealed the secret of Longzhong, the man in white was shocked and asked sternly: "What did you say? How do you know this is Longzhong?"
Xiaosi stared at the stone ridge intently, when a shadow flashed across the entrance of the secret passage, and Xiaowu, a white jade man, hurried over and jumped onto Xiaosi's shoulder, curiously looking at everything in the cave.
Seeing that there was nothing strange about Xiao Wu, Xiao Si rubbed its hair and looked at the thing sitting on the stone ridge. It was a huge human pupa, with a thick and translucent outside, which could be vaguely seen.
There was a person sitting cross-legged inside, but his facial features were unclear and his appearance could not be clearly seen. Xiaosi thought of the portrait he saw in the ancestral hall, and connected the scattered words of Ling Wanjun and Yan Guichen in his mind, and gradually
I have a rough idea.
"Your mission is to guard Longzhong and this person here. I came here for a reason. Why do you want to kill me without asking?" Xiao Si said.
The man in white said: "I said, no matter who you are, as long as you enter here, I will kill you!"
Xiaosi saw that he had white hair and a fierce expression, and his delicate features had a familiar feeling. He glanced at Yan Feixue next to him, and suddenly his heart moved, and he blurted out: "I know, you are Feixue's brother, Yan
