Shadows cross the eaves and corridors, and the wind blows through the curtains.
Li Xiaoman hurriedly followed Yuexi Zi Tan Qing back to the main hall of Cui Mansion.
The wooden door was ajar, and the hall was cool and still empty. The wooden chair that I had been sitting on had been reset, but the smell of rosemary had not dissipated. The incense burner in the corner, as well as the incense ash and incense that Li Shaochen knocked over
The sand and soil are all gone.
The two women found the corner of the wall, but they only found three shallow footprints of the incense burner and a bit of incense ash at the base of the wall that had not been cleaned.
Tan Qing touched it with his finger, put it under his nose and sniffed again, then frowned and said: "Sister Xiaoman, this fragrance is not just rosemary, it is also mixed with the smell of incense. The person who did it also knows a lot about spices.
, knowing that rosemary has a strong smell, it can just cover up some of the fragrance. The sweet fragrance you smelled like wine before was the smell of mandala flowers... But these traces were actually wiped away by the associates of that bitch Li Shaochen.
Get rid of it!"
After hearing this, Xiaoman's heart sank: "According to this, the person who conspired with Li Shaochen must also live in this house. And he can avoid the servants in the house and take away the smoker without knowing it. At least
He is also a person who is familiar with the situation in the mansion and has superb qinggong. If he can do this, several of the guardians and most of the missionaries in the sect will be suspected!"
Tan Qing also knew the key and was worried that she would act impulsively, so he quickly advised her: "Sister Xiaoman! Although it is not a pity for Li Shaochen and others to die, this matter is related to my sister's reputation after all, so it is not suitable for everyone in the church to make a fuss.
It's almost time now. Daddy and Doctor Wang have been away for most of the day, and I think they'll be back soon! Let's go sit in my room for a while, and when Daddy and the others return home, some of the maids will come to report."
Xiaoman searched around again, and saw that only the incense ashes in the corner were left as evidence, so he found a tea cup, put it in his sleeve, and then followed Tan Qing to the backyard.
The sun's shadow is toward the west, and the glow is getting thicker.
The two girls were bored in the boudoir, playing "catching the sheep's crutch" for a while, and then fighting for a few games of "double land" before they saw a timid maid move in, bowed and said: "Miss! Master and
Doctor Wang is back! He was just having tea in the main hall."
Tan Qing slapped the half-eaten ice drink on the table, waved his sleeve to wipe away the juice from his lips, picked up Xiao Man with his other hand, and ran towards the main hall.
When the two women re-entered the main hall, they felt a chill coming over them: it turned out that the servants in the palace had received the order and fetched ice cubes from the ice cellar and put them in copper basins. The ice cubes melted and cool air was generated by themselves, immediately dispelling the heat.
Most of it.
Heavenly Protector Qin Xiangchu had just filled a cup of black plum and mung bean drink and brought it to the acting leader Wang Bing. Seeing that his daughter Qin Qing had arrived side by side with Xiaoman, he was also very curious and immediately smiled and said: "Dragon Protector Shuangyue, the weather has been getting hotter recently, soon.
Come and have an ice drink to cool down!”
As he spoke, he glanced at the maid next to him, then stood up and pulled out a chair, gesturing for Xiaoman to sit down and talk.
Tan Qing curled his lips, pulled up a chair at the corner of the desk and sat down. After the maid poured Xiaoman an ice drink, she immediately took the chilled copper pot and said to the servants: "Sister Xiaoman wants to
To discuss matters with dad, you all should go out first!"
The servants did not dare to disobey, so they immediately closed the doors and windows and filed out.
Tan Xiangchu felt strange when he saw Xiao Man's expression was different, and there seemed to be grievance in his deep eyes. After looking at Wang Bing, he slowly asked: "I wonder if Protector Shuang Yue has any advice?"
Xiaoman suddenly stood up, flicked his jade fingers, and flicked away the crystal overflowing from the corner of his eyes. He immediately raised his hands to make a flame, saluted Wang Bing and Qin Xiangchu, and said: "Shayla Worthy was framed by dogs today and almost suffered humiliation!
Please ask Master Wang and Protector Qin to come forward and punish him severely according to my teachings!"
When Wang Bing heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up together with Tan Xiangchu and solemnly returned the greeting: "What happened? Please tell the saint in detail!"
Xiao Man bit her slender lips tightly, and her eyes turned red again. At that moment, Li Shaochen, the "Business Envoy", lured her back to the main hall of the Qin Mansion under the pretense of being summoned by the leader. He also conspired with others in advance to light incense in the main hall and put her there.
After she fainted, she took her back to the guest room and told her intermittently the story of what she wanted to do.
Qin Qing talked about how he accidentally saw Li Shaochen sneaking out of the main hall, how he followed him, knocked him out with a stick, and rescued Xiaoman, and talked about it with great joy. He didn't forget to curse at the end
After talking to Li Shaochen for a while, Tan Xiangchu looked embarrassed and winked at Tan Qing repeatedly.
Wang Bing's face turned pale. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear: "Saint! The saint had a strict order that day. Unless it was an important matter in the religion, you should not be called a 'saint'. But what happened today is really not trivial."
!
If the benevolence succeeds, even if the punishment is carried out according to the religious rules, the saint will still be unable to escape the sin of losing her virginity! She will still have to suffer the punishment of burning her body with the holy fire in order to fulfill the sacred ritual of Zoroastrianism! Fortunately, fortunately! There is Qin
The girl took action in time..."
But Qin Qing's eyebrows stood up when she heard this: "Miracle Doctor Wang! What kind of weird rules is this?! It's obvious that Li Shaochen has a dirty mind and wants to do something wrong! Sister Xiaoman was almost killed by this bitch... Humph! She
You are just a victim, but you still have to be burned to death by the canon? How can there be such truth in the world!"
"Qing'er! Don't be presumptuous!"
Qin Xiangchu's face turned livid and he shouted angrily, "How can I, the Zoroastrian religion, allow others to make irresponsible remarks on the edicts and rules of Zoroastrianism?! You are my biological daughter, and you will never allow such nonsense again!"
Tan Qing raised his chin and was about to choke back, but Xiaoman stopped him and said with a gloomy expression: "Girl Qin, what Master Wang said is all set out in the canon. I was still young that year, and I was
Chosen as a saint... My aunt and adoptive father have repeatedly warned me that as a saint, you must be chaste all your life. Even if you are raped and cannot withstand it, you must try to commit suicide. You must never lose your chastity or tarnish your virginity.
Holy ceremony."
Tan Xiangchu then looked at Xiaoman and said with righteous indignation: "Where is Bushan Envoy Li Shaochen now?! This beast with a human face and a beast's heart! Someone Qin first broke his legs today, then tied him up and sent him to the dungeon of Xiu Shan Temple! As for what
The accomplice should also be tried as soon as possible to avoid letting that person escape!"
Wang Bing nodded slightly: "What Tianji Protector said is right. For those who cannot abide by the religious rules and act recklessly, we should kill them as a warning to a hundred people to correct the religious rituals! Just now, Girl Qin said that you two have restrained them and locked them up in the saint's guest room.
. Let’s go together and bring this madman out so that the saint can feel at ease!”
When Tan Qing heard this, he immediately stood up and volunteered to open the wooden door. While holding Xiaoman's arm, he led Wang Bing and Tan Xiangchu straight to the guest room where Xiaoman lived.
However, when I rushed to the guest room, I saw that the bead curtains were scattered and the wooden door was open, as if it had been looted.
Xiaoman felt a chill in his heart. He secretly thought something was wrong and rushed in. He saw that the curtains on the couch had been torn away completely and there was nothing in the middle. Where was the shadow of Li Shaochen?
When Wang Bing and Tan Xiangchu saw this, they knew something had happened. When they followed Tan Qing and entered closely, they saw that the guest room was in a mess and Li Shaochen had long disappeared. Only Xiaoman was leaning on the wooden couch, with panic in his eyes.
It's uncontrollable anger.
The incident happened in Qin's house. Qin Xiangchu hesitated for a long time and could not say a word of comfort.
Tan Qing also lowered his head in shame, regretting that he had been careless and did not order his servants to keep a close watch on him, thus giving this dog a chance to escape.
Instead, Wang Bing stepped forward, patted Xiaoman on the shoulder and said: "This bitch must have been rescued by his accomplices. Don't worry, saint! As long as he has not escaped from Luoyang, with the foundation of our Zoroastrianism,
We will surely catch him!"
Little Man clenched his fists tightly, and dug his thin nails into his palms, which were already dripping with blood. Hearing Wang Bing's comfort, he came to his senses and replied word by word: "Shuangyue thanked the leader! If I can catch him,
I want to do the execution myself for this bitch!"
Wang Bing was waiting for an answer, but suddenly his face turned cold, and he looked eastward through the window: "No! There was the sound of swords outside the courtyard. Someone must have broken into the church! Let's go and have a look!"
When several people heard this, they were all stunned, and soon they heard the faint sound of gold and iron outside the east wing. Without hesitation, they all ran out of the guest room together with their weapons in hand.
The dream is deep and the mind is dizzy.
Yang Zhaoxi gradually woke up, and all he could see was pitch black, with no boundaries or edges visible.
In a daze, it seemed that I was back in the manhole five years ago, where the sky was not responding and the earth was not working. In the cramped space, there was no day or night, no rain or shine, only the constant silence, and...
...slightly cool humidity!
Yang Zhaoxi twisted her body and realized that she was lying on her back on a cold stone couch with iron hoops on her wrists and ankles. The iron hoops were connected to thick iron chains, and she struggled a little.
, it made a "clinking" sound like metal and stone colliding. I wanted to turn over, but I couldn't.
He tried shouting a few times, but the sound was dull, bounced back against the wall, buzzed in his ears, and made his head buzz. From this, we can infer that this place may not be big, but the walls are very thick, and there are no
The window was closed. Therefore, not only could there be no echo, but even the movement outside could not be transmitted in. If there was not a trace of cool breeze slipping away not far in front of him, he would have thought that this was a place of death.
Only then did his mind gradually remember all the scenes before he was trapped here. The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. For a while, doubts arose in his mind:
That monk Yuan Xiu clearly hated himself to the core. Now that he had stunned him and cut him down with a knife, wouldn't he be able to relieve his hatred? How could he have left him alive and brought him here?
Could it be that he already knew that he was one of the people on the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals" with a huge reward on his head? He wanted to offer himself as a favor to the Wu Gou assassin so that he could take it to Yishui Pavilion in exchange for a reward?
But if that's the case, there's no need to keep them alive. Wouldn't it be easier to just cut off the head, pickle it with salt and lime, and put it in a wooden box? Since ancient times, conquests and assassinations, if you want to claim credit for your life, isn't it?
Did you use this method?
I thought about it over and over, but I couldn't figure it out. I called for a long time, but I felt my throat was burning, my mouth was dry, and there was still no answer.
I was upset and bored, so I had to force myself to calm down, and began to follow the "Five Teeth Method of Obedience" contained in "Taomen Neidan Shuo", reciting the secret mantra in my heart, licking my lips and teeth with my tongue. For a moment, my mouth was filled with fluid, and immediately
Swallow it slowly in three batches. Repeat this process, and it will take a long time before the fire in your mouth is suppressed.
Then eliminate distracting thoughts, breathe evenly, look at the nose with the eyes, look at the heart with the nose, watch the mind with the heart, feel from the mind, realize through feeling, gain wisdom, wisdom controls the shape, and the shape carries the qi... The two qi of innate and acquired surging and stirring in the body, gradually
It overflows from the pores of the hair and floats lightly on the skin all over the body.
The quieter the heart, the more focused the thoughts. When the concentration is concentrated, the darkness around you gradually turns into chaos and is no longer so profound and unpredictable.
Unconsciously, a pure and familiar thought began to flow down from the Niwan Palace, and followed the flow of the two qi, wandering through the three Dantians.
The mysterious pearl lying behind the eyebrows is being protected by several black and white vines. Every time the second air flows through, the branches and leaves will stretch out to capture some innate energy for the mysterious pearl to use.
But between the internal organs, there are still five colors hazy. One of them is a red color, which can be seen in the mist. It is big and small, and it is trembling and trembling. The rhythm seems to be the same as that of the pericardium, which is wonderful and extraordinary!
After a long time, the thoughts gradually overflowed the body surface, spreading out inch by inch, and I could "see" my outline clearly. But it was like an earth-yellow clay embryo, with no fingers, toes, or facial features, even the pure body below the navel.
I couldn't even see the Yang Yizhu at all, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed.
At this moment, my mind suddenly discovered that in this dark place, there were many dark blue "dusts" floating in the sky. The dusts were unconscious, wandering aimlessly on the black screen, slowly,
Cool silk threads, twinkling like stars in the river.
The thoughts immediately aroused curiosity, and they slowly spread out, like a large invisible net, filling the dark place in an instant. And all the dust particles were under control.
"Whoa-whoa!"
When the mind felt that it could no longer expand, it suddenly pulled back!
Immediately, countless black and blue dust appeared, like a school of frightened fish, trying to escape in all directions. However, the net of thoughts was so fine and tough that it actually caught these dust particles back like a net for fishing! Through three thousand
The six hundred hair sweat holes were captured and returned to the lower Dantian. They immediately merged with the two qi as the sky circulated, and were swallowed up by the vines bit by bit.
Cool! Refreshing! It feels so comfortable all over my body! My thoughts actually shiver in comfort.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a bulge in his Dantian, as if the silver bottle was about to break, and the waves were rolling! Yang Chaoxi was awakened immediately, but his limbs were tied, and he tried to tear off his long robe, but he couldn't!
Yang Chaoxi had been holding it in like this for an unknown amount of time. Yang Chaoxi felt that a gate somewhere below opened, and a torrent of water poured out. It immediately gathered into a pool under him. He really wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to cry silently. Fortunately, no one saw him, otherwise he would
He had to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Just as I was rejoicing, I heard a muffled "boom" in the darkness, and a ray of orange light shot in!
