Qingyan, who was sleeping soundly and had just resumed her morning nap not long ago, suddenly heard a faint cry of "something exploded". The sound was so loud that she stood up straight from the bed in shock.
He sat up, hugged the brocade quilt around him and looked around in a panic.
I took a look and found that the inner room was empty. Then I hurriedly moved my body, stretched my neck and looked out the window. I found that except for a few whirling and falling yellow leaves, there was nothing unusual outside.
, it didn’t look like something was wrong, it looked like a quiet winter afternoon.
She couldn't help but smile and shake her head, mistakenly thinking that she heard wrongly, she yawned again and pulled the quilt to lie down, closed her eyes and continued to seize the time to catch up on her sleep when the naughty twins were away.
The four brothers and sisters who were staying in another wing room across the wall, when Yinzhen stood at the door of the inner room and shouted uncontrollably on the spot, Yinzhen couldn't help but his eyelids jumped, and Yinzhen and Ke Jing moved even more quickly
He slid off the bed and ran towards the door.
When the two "little fours" rushed to Yinti's side, Yinzhen tried his best to stand on tiptoes and reluctantly hooked Yinti's neck with his right arm.
They were so horrified that the elder brother's upper body fell off as if he was petrified on the spot. Then they hurriedly covered Yinti's mouth with his left hand and dragged Yinti towards the bed.
Ke Jing also bent down and picked up the brown-yellow cylindrical huozhe that fell from Yinti's hand, about as wide as a finger, and pushed Yinti behind her to help her fourth brother.
Yinti, whose mind was shaken by this big and shocking news, went blank. Like a wooden man, following the movements of his fourth brother and sister, he was pushed and pulled by them to the bedside.
When he was pressed by Yinzhen's shoulders and sat down on the bed with his hands stretched out, Yinzhen came back to his senses and looked at Yinzhen blankly.
Yinzhen looked at the tall eldest brother, who was staring at him blankly like an idiot. He somewhat helplessly stretched out his right index finger to cover his mouth, pretending to be silent, and shook his head at Yinzhen.
He sighed softly:
"Brother, I know you are surprised, but please keep your voice lower. The soundproofing of the wing here is very poor. My mother is still taking a nap in the wing next door. You must not wake my mother up."
Standing next to him, Ke Jing also turned the fire stick in his hand with his white fingertips and asked Yinti doubtfully:
"Brother, what are you going to do with the fire discount to find the prince brother?"
When Yinreng saw the fire seal in the fourth sister's hand, he couldn't help but look at Yinti in confusion.
At this moment, Yinti couldn't care less about his original intention of coming here. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva nervously, turned his head to the left and looked at Yinti who was leaning on the bed, and then looked in front of him again.
He glanced at Yinzhen and Ke Jing, who were standing side by side in front of him, and saw that the three of them had indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they didn't seem to think that the conversation they just had was scary at all.
He raised his right arm and pointed the palm of his right hand towards his fourth brother and his fourth brother, signaling everyone to be silent and let him stroke them.
When Yinren, Yinzhen and Kejing saw their elder brother's actions, they all shut up and cooperated to let Yinti digest this shocking secret.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about a stick of incense, Yinti shook his round head like a husky whose fur was soaked and shook his body to shake off the water droplets, and then his handsome and tough face appeared.
Her thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked at the younger brother in front of her with a slightly trembling voice. Her younger sister asked urgently:
"Xiaosi, Yaya, are you two telling the truth just now? Our Khan Mafa really pretended to be a corpse and turned into a crazy old monk? So, is he maliciously seizing the body or is it just a coincidence that he borrowed the corpse and brought it back to life?"
When the three of them heard that Yinti spoke after such a long time, they all thought that he had figured out the reason. Who knew that when he made such an unreliable guess, they were all speechless for a moment.
Yinzhen couldn't help but "pop" and suddenly covered his face with his well-jointed right hand, as if he had a headache and didn't want to talk. Yinzhen and Kejing also raised their hands to clarify their ideas again.
The stupid brother wiped his face deeply.
"No? What's the reaction of the three of you? It's been more than 20 years since Khan Mafa passed away. In just two years, little Thirteen and Little Fourteen will be all over the palace and run away. I'm alive.
It's been twelve years, you guys suddenly told me that Han Mafa transformed into this "good, good" old monk, why didn't you allow me to do all the twists and turns in this?
Understood?"
Yinti looked at his three careless younger brothers, and his sister looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him. She felt like "swish, swish, swish" as the three red-tasseled silver knives with blades as thin as cicada wings stabbed him accurately and steadily.
In the heart, he was so anxious that he scratched his head and tugged on Yinzhen's sleeves and asked repeatedly.
"well."
Yinzhen looked at his elder brother with a pair of big, round lychee eyes and astonishingly bright eyes, and sighed helplessly before saying softly:
"Brother, when you are free, read less those story books that describe monsters and monsters, and read more nutritious books. Reading too many of those story books will really make your brain stupid."
"And what you said was a bit careless. It wasn't us who took the initiative to tell you about the Khanma Fa. It was you who accidentally rushed in during our conversation at the wrong time and overheard it..."
When Yinzhen, who was several years younger than him, said this, he couldn't help but show a resentful look on his face. He thought that his knowledge was average, not because he had no talent, but because all his brothers and sisters were all talented.
They are so outstanding among people!
The eldest brother, who is extremely confident, never thinks that he is inferior to his brothers. Instead, he thinks that he is the most passionate young man among the brothers who is most like Manchuria Batulu. He loves martial arts deep down and dislikes the annoying "Chinese language".
"That's all." If this isn't appropriate, let's just follow their ancestors who were good at conquering and fighting!
But even though he said that, looking at Yinzhen with a serious face like an old-fashioned Sinology master in the study room, encouraging him to study hard and study well, Yinzhen still couldn't stand it.
He reflexively wanted to stand up and grease his feet and run away quickly.
Although Ke Jing also felt that their eldest brother was a bit unreliable all day long, she still liked his boldness. Seeing his pitiful look at her asking for help, she coughed twice and stretched out her arms.
He stopped his fourth brother's "encouraging learning" chatter that he couldn't hold back once he opened it, looked seriously into Yinti's eyes, and said concisely:
"Brother, what we just said is not nonsense. Fourth brother discovered that the old monk Xingchi looks very similar to the portrait of Hanmafa hanging in the Fengxian Hall. I also saw that the old monk's face shape and big earlobes are almost the same.
Xiao Yinxiang,
Xiao Yinzhen's oval face and big lucky earlobes are almost carved from the same mold. No, the fourth brother and I came here just to ask the prince for confirmation. But before we heard the answer, you rushed in rashly.
Come in."
"Hey, it turns out that's the case. According to what you two said, it does seem to make sense."
With Kejing's guidance, Yinti also had a direction to think about. He tried hard to search out the portrait of his own Hanmafa in his mind, and then put the appearance of the old monk Xingchi and the twins' round faces together to find similarities.
You really have to realize this
After finding out the common points, Lychee's eyes widened even more, and he yelled something along the topic, and suddenly turned his head and moved his eyes to Yinzhen who was leaning on the bed. Yinzhen and Kejing were also close to each other.
Then he focused his attention on the prince's brother's face.
Yin Reng saw the excitement and burning eyes of the three people in front of him because they had discovered the family's big secret. After listening to Ke Jing's summary of the key points that he and Yinzhen had guessed, he simply stopped hiding it and went straight out.
He expressed his speculation about the facts of the year:
"Xiaosi, Yaya, you two are right in your guess. Khanmafa did not die. For so many years, he turned into a crazy old monk and lived incognito in this Qingliang Temple, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name."
"If I am not mistaken, Khan Ama, Uku Mama, Huang Mama, and even my aunt are all people who know this secret. This time Khan Ama came under the guise of praying for the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it was because
San Francisco was defeated, Treasure Island
It has been recovered, and the situation in the country has been stabilized. Even if someone accidentally knows the secret of Khanmafa, it will not cause instability in the situation, so he dares to take us all the way to visit him in this remote temple in the deep mountains and forests."
"Then Baocheng, you mean that apart from the adults, only us children are kept in the dark?"
After hearing the explanation from his second brother, Yinti couldn't help but touch his chin and murmured.
Yinreng glanced at him and nodded in acquiescence.
"Then does Prince Yu, who lives in the mountain inn now, know about this?"
Yinzhen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his eyelids and looked at the prince brother and expressed his concerns.
When Yinzhen heard what Yinzhen said, he was stunned for a moment, then he raised his eyebrows and shook his head uncertainly:
"I don't know much about this, but during this trip to Fuquan, Uncle Wang will not only coordinate the actions of the imperial guards to be responsible for the safety of our group, but also stay at the inn to collect all kinds of information from the capital and the surrounding secret guards.
, the task is quite heavy, I believe Khan Ama will not tell him about this matter, otherwise Uncle Wang will be distracted, and various accidents will happen to our group outside. If Uncle Wang is negligent, he may be in trouble.
There will be a big mistake."
"I think Baocheng's guess makes sense." As soon as Yinreng finished speaking, Yinti tapped the bed with his fingertips and continued to answer.
Seeing the puzzled looks from Yinzhen and Ke Jing, he smiled and explained with a set of neat white teeth:
"Xiaosi, Yaya, you two think, when Khan Mafa died young, Prince Gong and Uncle Wang were so young that they probably couldn't even remember what Khan Mafa looked like, but Prince Yu and Uncle
No matter what you say, you must remember things from your childhood, right?
? Even though our young Khan Mafa was a real partialist at that time, he was Uncle Wang’s biological father after all. If Uncle Wang knew that Han Mafa did not die but was still living here well, he would definitely come forward.
Come to meet me."
"Furthermore, Khan Amma and Uncle Wang have had a deep relationship since childhood. This time, we specially asked Chang Quan to go up the mountain with us. I guess that Khan Amma is probably planning to tell Uncle Wang the truth when we return, but let them Whether father and son will meet or not is hard to say."
Yinren saw that his eldest brother's IQ was on the line. He listened and nodded in agreement. However, he did not expect that Yinti's IQ fell off the line again soon after. He scratched the green and black hair on his head with his hand in a sudden change. Warm Hat asked with great confusion:
"But what I still can't understand is that you said that there are so many people in the Forbidden City. When Khan Mafa died, there must have been many royal relatives, palace people, courtiers, eunuchs, and maids guarding the Qianqing Palace. How did Khan Mafa pretend to be a corpse and sneak out of the coffin silently?"
Yinzhen glanced at his second brother, the prince, with some sympathy. He felt that it was not easy for him to grow up with such an honest elder brother. When he was a child, he must have followed closely behind his elder brother and worried about him.
Ke Jing was also dumbfounded. He touched the acne marks on his right arm from the vaccination and answered Yin Ti's doubts with his fingers, saying softly:
"Brother, I saw that both sides of Xing Chi's nose have the same acne marks left by smallpox as Khan Ama. He must have survived smallpox back then, but instead of pretending to be dead, he faked his death and left the palace!"
"I also guessed this. Hanmafa is different from Ongkumafa. They perform cremation according to the old Manchu customs. Do you think that the golden nanmu coffin is empty, or a substitute was placed to die? Sir, after putting it on a fire and pouring some kerosene on it and burning it, there will be nothing but a handful of ashes. Who would have guessed that Khanmafa himself is not inside?"
Yin Reng got out of the bed, picked up the black boots embroidered with unicorn patterns on the footrest, bent down to put them on, and said to the three of them without raising his head.
The three brothers and sisters also started to make associations following Yinreng's words. For a moment, they felt that apart from this explanation, they seemed to be unable to think of any other more convincing explanation.
Yinti saw Yinfeng put on his boots and stood on the ground. He also got up from the bed and looked at his three younger brothers and sisters with bright eyes and said:
"Baocheng, Xiaosi, Yaya, since we are all curious about what happened back then, when I came over, I happened to meet Khan Amma holding the twins. He must be talking in the old monk, no, Khan Amma's monastery. Well, since the soundproofing of this house is not good, we can just lie on the wall and eavesdrop. Anyway, we are all blood relatives. Even if Khan Ama finds out, he will at most punish us to copy books. I think this deal is a good deal. , do you three want to do it?"
"this……"
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and were excited. Now they have eaten more than half of their "eating melon". Seeing that they only need to break the last layer of window paper to restore the secrets of the past, who wouldn't want to Go eavesdrop on the corners of two generations of emperors.
Yinti looked at the three younger brothers and the younger sister who were obviously moving. He touched his chin with his right hand, laughed, and added another dose of excitement:
"What if Khan Amma asked Khan Mafa about little Tang Monk? Aren't you also curious about little Tang Monk's secret?"
With the two temptations combined, the three of them couldn't stand it any longer, and they all turned to Yinti's side.
As a girl, Ke Jing should be more careful. Seeing the unabashed excitement of her three brothers, she couldn't help but say:
"Brother, Liang Jiugong must be standing in the Zen room guarding the door. If after we meet him, he asks us what we are doing in the Zen room, what should we say?"
Yinti's eyes rolled, and then he raised his arm and took out his Huozhezi from Kejing's hand. He raised his eyebrows confidently and said to the three Yinti brothers:
"Yaya, don't worry about it now. Master Baocheng will definitely be able to prevaricate Liang Jiugong."
Seeing their eldest brother's mysterious appearance, the three of them had no choice but to agree hesitantly. Then the four brothers and sisters ran out of the room together, casually called a little novice who was sweeping the floor, and asked him to lead the four of them hurriedly to the room.
Walk around the monks’ Zen room area.
When the four brothers and sisters walked to the Zen room area, which occupied nearly one-third of the temple and was distributed in a fan shape very close to the gate of the back mountain temple, they heard the little novice introduce that the higher-ranking masters in the temple lived closer to the inside and outside.
After getting closer to the back mountain, Yinti's eyes brightened even more. After sending away the little novice monk who was leading the way, he looked majestic and high-spirited as if he was going to the battlefield to charge and kill the enemy, and walked along the bluestone road to the depths of the Zen room.
Walk.
Yin Reng, Yin Zhen and Ke Jing saw their eldest brother's undisguised figure, leading the way in a carefree manner. They didn't even feel guilty about squatting in the corner to eavesdrop on the elders' secret conversations.
Although he didn't know Yinti's plan later, and he couldn't figure out how he should use words to deal with Liang Jiugong, he was still influenced by it and became comfortable, no longer sneaking around like a thief, and he was no longer timid.
, with chest raised and head raised, he walked forward behind his elder brother.
