Chapter 761 Entering the Palace for Treasure Hunting
Chapter 761 Entering the Palace to Hunt for Treasures
The grass and trees mourned in the frost corner, and the clouds opened against the stone gate.
You can't get drunk with wine by the wind, and countless crows return to the fallen leaves.
But it doesn't hurt the gray-haired old scholar to make the eagle kill his murderous spirit.
Who is with me on Leming Peak, so General Li dances on the sword stage.
——"Climbing to the Top of Panshan Mountain" by Qi Jiguang (Ming Dynasty)
…
"How can one obtain long life and a vajra body that is indestructible? What causes and conditions lead to such great strength? How can this sutra reach the other shore? May the Buddha reveal the subtle secrets and spread them to all sentient beings."
The secret spies of the Japanese state found out that this "Yun He Fan" verse was recited by a eunuch in the Taiji Palace when he was out of the palace to buy something. It is said that this eunuch has been serving Xuanzong.
Usa Hachiman thought: "The Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons is extremely precious, and it also involves the secret of the Ninth Cauldron. How could Xuanzong let the eunuchs he served know the contents of the sutra?
Xuanzong was under house arrest in Taiji Palace, and his life and death were uncertain. Could it be that Xuanzong wanted to convey some news through the mouths of the eunuchs who left the palace?
After the rebellion in the Daming Palace, Li Chu never dared to visit Xuanzong in order to avoid suspicion. Did Xuanzong feel that his time was running out and deliberately summoned certain people to come to him?"
Usa Hachiman asked someone to inquire again and learned that Yang Jieyu had left Xingqing Palace a few days ago and had gone to Taiji Palace to serve Xuanzong.
The time when Yang Jieyu entered the Tai Chi Palace coincided very well with the time when the "Yun He Fan" verse was spread.
Yang Jieyu had been living in Xingqing Palace before and did not want to move into the cold palace-like Tai Chi Palace. It was too strange to suddenly enter the palace at this time.
While Usa Hachiman was thinking hard, he suddenly received a secret report from Fujiwara Rika who was hiding in the dark: "Princess Yuzhen met with Emperor Suzong today, hoping to enter the Daming Palace to serve Xuanzong, but Suzong rejected it."
"As expected, Xuanzong used the verse of "Yun He Fan" to summon old friends, hoping to make secret arrangements for his funeral before his death."
Without delay, Usa Hachiman immediately wrote and sent a secret message to Fujiwara Rika: "Sneak into the old dragon quickly and wait for an opportunity to seize the treasure."
Even so, Usa Hachiman was still worried. How could she miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? After thinking about it again and again, she decided to sneak into the Taichi Palace tonight to get a glimpse of the reality.
Usa Hachiman took out the Taichi Palace map left to her by Nobuchiyo, the legitimate son of the Hojo domain lord, and carefully studied the route to the palace.
In the middle of the night, the god Usa Hachiman wore a night-walking dress, passed through the Jiayou Gate from Yeting Palace, and sneaked into Taichi Palace.
Since Suzong had lived in the Daming Palace for a long time, the Tai Chi Palace was unused. The Tai Chi Palace seemed particularly desolate and deserted late at night, with only patrolling Imperial Army soldiers passing by occasionally.
During the day, when the wind is sunny and the sky is blue, the stacked palaces of Taiji Palace are magnificent and majestic, like rolling peaks, powerful and smooth; the height, shape, scale and form of various palaces are all according to the
The design and layout of the dragon vein peaks of the Beidou Nine Stars. The directions, ups and downs, and turning changes of the various palaces are all like dragon shapes.
But at night, the buildings are empty, and the Tai Chi Palace is empty, silent, and desolate. The silhouette of the huge palace is heavy, like a monster devouring people in the dark. Some of its horns are so narrow that you can't see your fingers, as if there is something lurking in the darkness.
It is said that the concubines who died suddenly in the palace will not dissipate their resentment and turn into lonely ghosts. Therefore, the female ghosts in the palace are the most common. They come out at night and hide in the day. The slightest sign of wind and grass, and the pursuit of cats and mice can scare people half to death.
Ordinary courtiers, without eunuchs and maids to guide them, would get lost in Tai Chi Palace even during the day, let alone at night.
Usa Hachiman was so dizzy by the maze-like Taichi Palace that he walked around for more than an hour before walking through the Thousand-step Corridor, Guishin-in Temple, and arriving at the Kanro-den directly north of the Kanromon Gate.
According to the secret report, Xuanzong should be placed under house arrest here.
Usahachiman was lying on the roof of the palace, patiently observing everything around him. After making sure it was safe, Usahachiman took out a black tanuki from his arms and placed it on the eaves.
The black cat has a completely black body, and its pupils emit yellow-green fluorescence. It is extremely evil and oozing out in the dark.
Usa Hachiman looked into the black cat's eyes for a moment, then used magic to inject a trace of evil spirit into the black cat's body.
The black cat stretched its back, slightly bent its hind legs, and stretched its forelimbs. After shaking its head for a while, the black cat meowed and flew away. The black cat's paws had fleshy pads, and it jumped on the tiles without making any sound, running as fast as flying.
Usa Hachiman crossed his legs and closed his eyes, turning the magic weapon to establish contact with the black cat's senses.
A black and white picture gradually appeared in front of Usa Hachiman's eyes. With the help of the black cat's eyes, Usa Hachiman could see things as if he were actually there, exploring everything in the Manna Hall.
Inside the curtain of the bedroom,
After a lot of tossing, Xuanzong was exhausted, returned to his bed tent, pulled back the dragon-patterned brocade quilt, and fell asleep soundly.
After lighting the incense, Xuanzong began to snore.
A thin tube stretched into the hall through the window lattice, spraying out wisps of incense.
The scent slowly dispersed, and the two eunuchs in the palace fell asleep leaning against the dragon pillar.
A black shadow slowly sneaked into the hall.
This person's feet were bare, covered with gauze, and her footsteps were silent, like a ghost. It was Yang Jieyu who had been whipped just now. Yang Jieyu gently opened the curtain and slipped into the tent.
Seeing Xuanzong snoring loudly, Yang Jieyu silently pulled out the golden hairpin from her bun.
Looking at Xuanzong who was having a sweet dream, Yang Jieyu slowly leaned down and pointed the golden hairpin in her hand at Xuanzong's throat.
It seems that after a fierce ideological struggle, the golden hairpin in Yang Jieyu's hand was struck at Xuanzong's throat several times, but she finally did not prick it.
On one side of Xuanzong's neck, there is a purple gold chain, and on the chain is a bronze chilong seal the size of a pigeon egg.
Yang Jieyu inserted the gold hairpin into the purple gold chain, and gently picked it up, breaking a link on the gold chain. The bronze chilong seal slipped into Yang Jieyu's hand, and Yang Jieyu smiled proudly.
With quick skills, Yang Jieyu took out another identical bronze Chilong Seal, gently threaded it back onto the purple gold chain, and then used her fingernails to pinch the broken link on the gold chain and close it.
After everything was restored to its original state, Yang Jieyu did not stay any longer. She held the bronze Chilong Seal tightly and left the dormitory silently.
Yang Jieyu gently closed the door of her bedroom, and regardless of the pain of stepping on pebbles and thorns with her bare feet, she walked through the courtyard and garden and quickly ran towards her bedroom.
Just when Yang Jieyu walked through the courtyard and was about to return to her bedroom, a black cat, like a rainforest panther, jumped out of the bushes and rushed towards Yang Jieyu's door.
Yang Jieyu instinctively blocked it with her hands, and the black cat bit the back of Yang Jieyu's hand. Its sharp teeth tore off a piece of flesh without mercy.
"Ouch"
With a scream, the bronze chilong seal slipped from Yang Jieyu's palm.
It was too late, but soon, the black cat somersaulted, and with a tiger pounce, it caught the falling bronze Chilong Seal in its mouth.
After the seal reached the mouth, the black cat stepped on the snow with its hooves, as agile as the wind, and took advantage of the height of the rockery to jump up to the ridge of the roof.
After the Ghost Boundary Monument was destroyed, Yang Yichan was deprived of her martial arts skills, leaving no trace of her extraordinary lightness skills.
Yang Jieyu endured the humiliation, tried her best, and finally got the treasure, but she could only make wedding clothes for others.
Yang Jieyu watched helplessly as the black cat held the bronze Chilong Seal in its mouth, jumped up to the ridge of the roof, ran wildly on the eaves of the palace, jumped three times and twice, and disappeared into the darkness.
