Chapter 2285: Changsheng Tablet in Taoist Temple

At three o'clock in the morning, the dawn dawned slightly, and finally saw two familiar figures coming slowly from the quiet, abandoned village below.
Qing Han and Pei Yuanzhang, both of them were wearing casual clothes, walking out of a quiet, narrow alley, as if just two villagers were chatting. I don't know how long they have been outside, and the corners of the clothes are covered with dry grass, and they have been moistened by dew.
Walking down to the bottom, the two people felt my eyes, and looked up invariably.
Just saw me.
I didn't speak, but just looked at the morning light, both of them looked dumbfounded, and Qing Han immediately came up and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Wait for you to eat. What did you run out in the morning?"
"I--"
"He told me something. How did he ask you, can't he?" Pei Yuanzhang took the words and walked up slowly, which meant something provocative. I frowned, I didn't know he rushed If I lose my temper, I will have to talk back when I have a stubble in my neck.
At this time, Qing Han suddenly coughed, and took off the coat on me.
"It's cold outside, but you should wear more."
I frowned, turning my head to see that his face was a little red in the morning light, and he deliberately tightened his collar.
"What? I'm not cold."
"Let's wear more."
I don't know what he meant, but Pei Yuanzhang on the other side gave us a cold look and turned away.
I had thought that it would be a good time to have a fight with him here today, but I didn't expect that he would die out so quickly, but it made me a little inexplicable, looking back at Qinghan: "What on earth did you say?"
He drove me back to the room. The room was warmer than the outside. I took off his clothes and asked, and he looked at me again, and the ears were a little red, and said, "Go again. Change a piece of clothes and a higher collar. "
"what?"
I was getting more and more baffled. I looked back at the mirror on the table, and suddenly said, "Ah".
It turned out that there were a few red marks on my neck, apparently left by him when he was confused.
I hadn't noticed before, how could it be so prominent?
Is it just--
He looked at me blushing, a little shy, and a bit proud. I was angry and funny. I did n’t know how many people saw the trace of this neck. I hurried back to the room and changed it In a suit, when he opened the curtain and came out, he saw that he was sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and staring at the smoky smoke that came out of the cup, thinking about what he was thinking.
I walked over and sat next to him. He glanced back at me, glanced around my neck, and immediately laughed.
"Smile, it's all you!"
He immediately pursed his lips.
I glanced at him before sitting down aside, Susu brought the meals up, both men picked up the rice bowl, and I asked him again, "What were you thinking?"
He didn't say anything, just bowed his head and took a bite of porridge. I thought about it and said, "Did the emperor tell you something again?"
He still didn't speak, and I was in a hurry: "What the did you say?"
Qing Han looked at my neck again, and then slowly said, "He said, I believe that I am a gentleman, a villain who cannot speak without words."
"..."
I hesitated for a moment before I remembered that before, Pei Yuanzhang had an agreement with him. Before the world was settled, at least, before the wonderful words were accepted, we two could not be together.
These days, because too many things happen and too many mysteries fill my head, I almost forgot about it, especially when he returned to me like "lost and recovered", where I am ecstatic I can take care of others, and there are indeed some things like that-it is difficult to control myself.
I subconsciously stretched my hand and stroked my neck, and the original hot temperature on my cheek instantly cooled down.
I don't want to think about how much our affairs have to do with Pei Yuanzhang, but when I think that he has been watching us all the time, even guarding us every step, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Qing Han glanced at me, silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't think that I am really subject to him in this matter."
"..."
"I just think--some things are justified."
"..."
"I'm not poisoned now. What the is really-it's an irresponsible thing for you. I think we can wait until everything is resolved. The two of us can be upright ... No matter who jumps out and stops, we don't have to ignore it. "
Hearing this, the cheeks that had cooled down suddenly became hot again.
I lowered my head and muttered, "What is upright? How can such a thing be said to be upright?"
He could not help but smile.
The two did not speak next, but the air was soaked with a sweet taste, and the smile at the corner of the eyebrows did not fade away until they walked out of the room and faced Du Yan. Just a little more serious.
This time I went into the mountain again, of course, I do n’t need to be fully armed and guarded as before, as if I want to go to the tiger's hole, the road has been cleared up, and I do n’t have to ride a horse. Sitting in the carriage, the two men gossiped from time to time. There was no tension at all. After noon, the Cong Yunguan appeared in front.
Although it is daylight, it feels the same as that night, there is no sound around, and there is a little mystery in the quiet Taoist temple.
Bai Yan fluttered in the wind, glanced at him, like countless ghosts.
He helped me out of the carriage, but Susu first knocked on the door, but the door squeaked as soon as the door was hit.
Susu snorted: "Why didn't they lock the door?"
I looked at Qing Han and felt a little strange. I hurried over and Du Yan followed us. A few people walked into the Taoist Temple and found that there was no one inside, and the incense burner in front of the spiritual palace was cold. The incense ash inside was condensed into a whole because it was soaked with rain. It seems that the incense was never lit after that day; the gate of the spiritual palace behind the incense burner was closed, and when I walked over, it was locked.
We walked inside, and the sound of footsteps echoed, looking extraordinarily silent and somewhat infiltrating.
Susu clutched my sleeve tightly and asked, "Miss, what's going on? Why were they suddenly gone?"
"..."
I didn't speak, frowning and glancing inside and out, let Du Yan go out and call our people in.
With so many people, it is impossible to see them out of nowhere, or they have gone away or been taken away. If something really happened, they will definitely leave some clues. I asked them to come in and search.
Qing Han and I went deep into the Taoist Temple.
There was really no one figure walking in all the way, all the scenes stopped on the day we left here.
In the alchemy room of the Daoguan abbot, the Dan furnace here has cooled down, and the drawers containing various herbs, as well as saltpeter, cinnabar and other essential alchemy essentials are also empty, and some are opened to dig I forgot to put it back after empty.
The entire alchemy room looked deserted, and looked like it had been looted.
Qing Han looked back at me: "Are they forced to leave?"
I looked at it and shook my head. "Not like it."
"Oh."
"If you really want to catch these people, you don't have to empty the contents of these drawers. If you look at these hundreds of drawers, it will take some time to remove the contents, and you have to pack them in a cart or horse; If you meet a robber-not to mention that looting these medicinal herbs is worth a few dollars, and you won't lose anyone. "
Qing Han nodded: "In other words, they left by themselves?"
"should be."
"But why?"
I thought for a while and said, "It seems that I was negligent. In fact, the abbot has always been like a bird that scared a bow, probably the shadow of the day when he was hunted down is too deep, but this time Pei Yuanzhang Come with me, he is even more afraid, so as soon as we walk forward, they leave. "
Qing Han looked at the situation around him for a while, and then said, "But I think they should come back. So they basically put the things here."
I turned to look at it, indeed, even the spirit palace, they were locked.
Qing Han said: "Probably, we want to wait for us to leave completely, and wait for some people to forget this place before they dare to come back."
I sighed softly: "It's just that I don't know how long they have to go through such exile again. It's not good for me to disturb their lives."
He patted me lightly on the shoulder.
I thought I could get some information this time, and my eyes were completely empty, which made me a little frustrated.
Qing Han asked, "Are we going back?"
Since there was nothing, naturally I should go back first, but when I was about to go out, I suddenly stopped again: "Wait, let's go in again."
"What are you doing?"
"The abbot said that they felt that my mother had saved them, so they set up a longevity tablet for my mother. I wanted to go in and look at it before, but because of something outside, I forgot to leave in a hurry."
When Qing Han heard it, he also said, "Since it is Madam Yan's longevity tablet, I'll check it out."
"Well, hope they didn't take it away."
The two of us walked out of the alchemy house and then went inside. Although I have not been there, the closer to the depth of the Taoist Temple, the fewer the houses, there is only a deep promenade. The two of us walked in and saw A palace, it seems that it is the place of enshrinement, and the mother's longevity tablet should be in it.
But when we got closer, the door was closed and locked.
You can't break the lock and break in, then I don't really become what the little boy said, it's a female robber.
But they have already come here, and it is a bit uncomfortable to leave at a glance. I looked around this temple in frustration for a while, and there was no one left inside, let alone the key or something. .
It seems that I really want to leave.
However, just as I was disappointed as I was leaving, Qing Han reached out and pushed the window next to him, and immediately squeaked. He said quickly, "Light, they didn't close the window."
I hurried over to it, and sure enough, the small window was movable, and although it was not enough for us to drill in, we could always look inside.
I hurriedly opened the window and saw the tall palace inside, which was much taller than the spiritual palace outside. There were four stout pillars in the hall, which looked very majestic against the beams. Probably not many people come here, the place is very clean, the floor can almost reflect the shadow of people, the curtains of the hall's beams are suspended from each side, and they are pulled to the sides, layer by layer, like one A mountain gate prevented people from entering.
Faintly, you can see that at the end of the curtain is a tall deity, where the deities and spirit cards are enshrined, but because the last layer of dark gray curtains hang low, covering a large part, we can barely see Some idols and spirit cards in the center include the Sanqing enshrined by the Taoists, as well as the Taoists who have died in their Taoism.
After searching for a long time, no mother was found.
Maybe it was placed somewhere else and blocked.
Although my heart is still very lost, but one glance can be regarded as what you want, and you don't have to get into it. I saluted the idols and spirit cards inside, and I was ready to leave, but when I looked back, Qing Han still lay on the window frame, and really looked at the spirit cards inside. He suddenly pointed at the inside and said: "Lightness, look at that."
"what?"
I stepped in and looked in the direction of his fingers. It was a spirit card on the edge of the shrine that was mostly blocked by the curtain.
That spirit card is very big. It is much bigger than the other spirit cards next to it. At a glance, you know that it should be a big person's tablet. The black rolling red edge is a very elegant long-life tablet. You can also see "Pray fortune" on the side. "Shuang An Shou Kang".
And when I discerned the characters in the center of the tablet carefully, I couldn't help but take a breath.
The words on the spirit card have been blocked by the veil and cannot be seen, but the following words are clearly identifiable—
Emperor Ruizongren's longevity tablet.
Ruizong? Emperor Jen?
If you did not guess wrong, the words blocked by the curtain above should be the year of the previous dynasty, because there was no Emperor Ruizong in the dynasty. This tablet should be the longevity tablet that they dedicated to a former emperor.
but--
Qing Han hesitantly looked back at me and said, "Lightness, when I was reading these books, I wasn't very attentive, and I might have misremembered, why do I seem to--"
In the face of his hesitation, I was resolute, saying word by word: "There was no Emperor Ruizongren in the former dynasty."
