Qin Shaoyou chewed on this sentence and thought about its meaning.
Monk Ma, who was not good at deciphering, simply asked Cui Youhang directly, who was still laughing proudly.
"Old Taoist, what does this hexagram mean?"
Senior Brother Cui felt that his performance time had come, he immediately stopped laughing, shook his head and answered:
"The king understands very well. He must be talking about Sixiu. That boy is the prince, so it is not an exaggeration to call him 'king'. So the meaning of this hexagram is that Sixiu was hidden in a certain temple by Emperor Jianwu."
"What kind of temple could it be?" Monk Ma asked.
The proud expression on Cui Youhang's face froze for a moment.
He laughed twice, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. There are many temples in the capital, including your monk temple, our Taoist temple, and some Nestorian temples that are said to have come from the west. As for the Chenghuang Temple
, there are more temples like the Earth Temple. If you ask me which temple is mentioned in the hexagram, I can’t tell you."
Qin Shaoyou touched his chin and said in deep thought: "Sixiu's identity is special and very important to the great sacrifice. Emperor Jianwu couldn't hide him in an ordinary temple and at the same time prevent anyone from discovering him. So this temple is either related to
It is related to the Black Lotus Sect, which allows Emperor Jianwu to use the power of the Black Lotus Sect to trap Sixiu. Or there is the power of the mad god shrouded in it, which can directly sacrifice Sixiu during the big sacrifice..."
Having said this, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Zhu Xiucai: "Where is the sacrifice of prisoners and ancestors held?"
Zhu Xiucai replied: "It must be the Imperial Ancestral Temple. After all, this time is not an ordinary prisoner sacrifice, but a prisoner sacrifice after the country was destroyed. According to etiquette regulations, the emperor had to salute at the Imperial Ancestral Temple to inform the heaven and earth and the ancestors of the past generations of his civil and martial arts...
"
Having said this, Zhu Xiucai suddenly reacted.
"The king is in the temple...this temple refers to the Ancestral Temple?"
"Yes, it must be the Ancestral Temple!"
Cui Youyou remembered something and hurriedly echoed.
"I remembered that when I was doing divination before, I used my great magic power to break through the fog that blocked the heavens and saw many tablets, but I couldn't see the words on the tablets clearly.
Originally, I was still wondering what these tablets had to do with Si Xiu and the results of divination.
Now after listening to what you said, I understand. The tablets I saw must be the tablets of the emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
That kid Si Xiu must have been hidden in the Ancestral Temple by Emperor Jianwu. That place was usually heavily guarded, but now it was even more heavily guarded, and it was all under the control of Emperor Jianwu himself.
Not only that, no one else can enter a place like the Imperial Ancestral Temple. It would be difficult to find Sixiu if she was hidden inside.
Moreover, it was also the place where the great sacrifice was held. By worshiping his ancestors, Emperor Jianwu was actually offering sacrifices to the mad god. When the sacrifice began, he could directly sacrifice Sixiu to the mad god in the blood moon without having to move it, thus avoiding increased exposure.
risk……"
Qin Shaoyou nodded repeatedly.
He also felt that there was a high possibility that Sixiu was hidden in the Ancestral Temple.
At least judging from the clues they have so far, they all point to the Ancestral Temple.
It's just that a place like the Imperial Ancestral Temple, as Brother Cui said, must be heavily guarded. It's not easy to sneak in and find Sixiu.
After thinking for a while, Qin Shaoyou made a decision.
He planned to sneak into the capital and go to the Ancestral Temple to inquire about the situation and see if he could gain anything.
"Senior Brother Cui, you come with me to the capital. The rest of you stay here and provide us with a cover by interrogating the demons of the Black Lotus Sect."
Hearing Qin Shaoyou's arrangement, Cui Yougui was very proud and laughed and said: "Sir, you have the foresight to know that among this group of people, I am the most reliable."
Qin Shaoyou did not indulge him and snorted coldly: "You are wrong. I will take you with me. Firstly, because your ability to escape is good enough. Secondly, you are with me and can help you perform divination in time to determine Si
The latest position of the show. If you select people based on reliability, you won’t be ranked at all.”
Cui Youwei was stunned for a moment and shouted strangely: "Are you using me as a driver and a locator?"
"It's good that you know. Don't get too complacent and cause trouble. When the time comes, I can deal with you without my ancestor having to do anything."
In fact, Qin Shaoyou wanted to bring Zhu Xiucai with him.
Zhu Xiucai is not only good at finding traces, but he can also give good suggestions when analyzing problems.
But the Demon Division of Xu County Town needs Zhu Xiucai even more.
Otherwise, it might not be easy for Monk Ma and others to deceive the editors who are watching from outside.
There needs to be a cunning and cunning person staying here to take charge.
After making the decision, Qin Shaoyou discussed the specific action plan and response plan with everyone. After that, he did not immediately rush to the capital with Brother Cui.
He first asked Zhu Xiucai to take everyone to the cell to continue interrogating the captured Black Lotus Demons.
And he stayed in the kitchen, putting the finishing touches on a few new dishes.
These dishes have already been cooked. If they are not finished, it will be a huge waste.
Fortunately, it's coming to an end and it won't take long.
When new dishes such as Dragon Juice and Golden Needle Gu, Earthen Pot Boy Chicken, Feilong Soup, Golden Bowl Fax and Copper Coin Wontons were all added to the pot, Qin Shaoyou also ate a portion himself after offering a portion to the statue of the Patriarch.
Some of the rest was put into the "human arsenal" to be sent to the master and the spiritual official afterwards, and some was sent to Qiu Rong to the prison cell to be shared with Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others.
With three dishes, one soup and one staple food, the meal was as sumptuous as a banquet, and Qin Shaoyou and his ancestors thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others, although the amount they received was a bit small, they all tasted it and benefited from it.
Qin Shaoyou, who had eaten and drank enough, sat cross-legged in the kitchen, activated the breathing method, and absorbed the effects of these new dishes.
His soul, body and blood soared rapidly during this process, bringing him one step closer to the second level.
It is estimated that once the effects of these new dishes are fully absorbed, there will be a chance to be promoted to the second level.
Of course, the premise is that everything goes smoothly and there are no bottlenecks.
Qin Shaoyou turned to look at the statue of the Patriarch and whispered in his mouth: "You will never let me get stuck, right? If I get stuck, how can I kill the mad god and make new dishes?"
The statue of the Patriarch ignored him at all.
When the time was almost up, Zhu Xiucai ran to the kitchen and reported loudly outside the door, saying that the captured Black Lotus demon had a too tough mouth and they could not pry it open using many methods. He asked Qin Shaoyou to come over and provide technical guidance.
Qin Shaoyou then stopped refining the new dish, put the oily-mouthed Patriarch statue into a bamboo basket, carried it out of the kitchen, and followed Zhu Xiucai to the prison.
On the way, he also deliberately reprimanded Zhu Xiucai a few words, letting everyone in the Xu County Demon Town Department know that their interrogation was unfavorable and that Qin Shaoyou needed to personally intervene.
This news was quickly learned by everyone in the editing factory who was hiding outside the Yamen of Xu County Town.
They finally found a place that was better than Qin Shaoyou and others.
"Although these Qiu Ba from the Demon Suppression Department are powerful in investigating crimes, when it comes to torture, our editing department is stronger!"
"That's right, these people from the Demon Suppression Department are not even qualified to carry our shoes during torture. If those Black Lotus Sect demons were in the yamen of our editing factory, their mouths would have been pried open long ago...
"
In a private house diagonally across from the Demon Division of Xu County Town, several surveillance officers were boasting sarcastically and boastfully.
They were blowing vigorously when suddenly, a supernatural object in the room that looked like a water tank began to flash with a scary red light.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the editorial office who was bragging suddenly became nervous and exclaimed in low voices:
"Supernatural object warning, there are spell fluctuations in the surveillance area!"
