Chapter 109: Broken Thatched Cottage

"Master, Princess Gu Yu has been missing for three years, and there is a huge crowd. Where can I find her?"
"I will provide you with a clue," Yin Xun pointed to the house on the mountainside where the small oil lamp had been lit: "There lives Zhu Yankang's lover three years ago, and there should be something out of his mouth... om updates so fast ."
When Lu Kang heard this, he hesitated even more. Since his master knew that the man knew the clue, why didn't he ask him? It must be because that person is too difficult to say anything.
Yin Xun patted Lu Kang on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Lu Kang, you have never let me down, and I hope it will be the same this time."
Lu Kang clearly saw the sly smile in his eyes, and he could only sigh slightly in his heart, who made him follow such a master temporarily.
"Can the master tell his subordinates why they are looking for Princess Guyu?"
"The man in there is Bai Junzhuo's cousin, Bai Xuan, and I need to send him back to Bai Mansion."
Yin Xun replied, Lu Kang couldn't understand it. Since the ultimate goal was this, why didn't he directly tie him and take him back, and find him the ancient fish princess who was impossible to find?
After giving orders, Yin Xun left to find Bai Junzhuo, and Lu Kang went to Bai Xu's residence to find Bai Xu.
When he arrived at the window, Lu Kang looked up and down Bai Xu, who was conscientiously copying the scriptures in his room. At first impression, he felt that he was just a sour scholar. He could just put a knife on his neck and force him back.
So he broke the'door' and entered, and opened the paper fan to'force' Bai Xu. Bai Xu heard the movement and raised his head to look at him. He sat upright, without a trace of panic in his eyes, staring at Lu Kuang. He opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Lu Kang was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Emperor Yuan once said: Only a blunt awl can be placed in the cloth bag, and a sharp awl will pierce the cloth bag sooner or later, and the sharpness will be ‘shown’.
This person didn't ask him who he was, so he asked him what was wrong, so that Lu Kang didn't know how to answer.
"If you are tired from walking, then sit down and rest for a while." Seeing him in a daze, Bai Xu said lightly and continued to copy the scriptures.
Lu Kang stepped aside and sat down, and considered the appropriate words: "This son, I am looking for the ancient fish princess Zhu Yankang at the order of my master. I also heard that you know the clues, so please let me know."
Bai Xu's pen paused, for a long time, and calmly replied: "Why deliberately ask, if I really want to go back to the world, even if there is no Yankang, I will go back. The words I said before are nothing but illusions. ."
Lu Kang was taken aback again. He always felt that he had a brilliant plan, and anyone could see clearly. Hearing what his master said just now, I thought that the reason for this person's escape from the world was only Princess Guyu, but he didn't expect that it seemed otherwise.
After a long silence, Lu Kang asked, "Why does Young Master Bai have to stay away from the world?"
"Because the bystanders are clear and look at the secular outside of the secular, then they can see clearly."
"What a bystander," Lu Kang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I wonder what your son thinks about the temple affairs?"
"There are too many mobs in today's temples. The two tigers eat, and the hunter will ultimately benefit." Bai Xu put down his pen and watched Lu Kang replied.
Lu Kangxin was like a mirror, and finally understood the purpose of his master letting him come to see this man. He wanted him to take this person back and help His Majesty to take back the country that belonged to the Yin clan.
He wanted to test Bai Xun again, so he pretended not to understand what he was saying, and asked, "Can you tell me the truth?"
"The royal family cannot marry and marry a large family. The foreign relatives concentrate on representing the interests of the powerful and powerful. The queen mother let his father and brother hold important positions. From general to Shang Shusheng, there are no less than fifty people in the Fu family." Bai Xu is like in Reading, there is no feeling at all. "The Yin family's rights and interests exist in name only. Even if Emperor Yuan has ambitions, he cannot uproot the Fu family that has lasted for generations."
"So Emperor Yuan needs talents like you to help him regain his own power."
Bai Xu smiled slightly: "I'm just a mediocre person. Whatever I say, the son is free to listen to it. Talking about what Emperor Yuan needs me, I am afraid that in the end I will not know that there is a person like me."
Seeing him softly refused, Lu Kang was not in a hurry. He opened the paper fan and shook it slightly. He smiled and asked,
Since it’s a small chat, it doesn’t matter what you say. Next I want to ask Mr. Bai, this country of Li, is it right Will it be in the hands of the Fu family forever?"
Bai Xu said: "Emperor Yuan is ambitious but unable to do what he wants. The four princes are sent to the frontier fortresses with heavy soldiers in their hands. The nine princes are wealthy and the enemy country is completely inaccessible to politics. Although the Yin family has the materials available, they are all restrained."
Lu Kang immediately asked, "Then what the Emperor Yuan has to do to reverse his control?"
"The political power has been in the hands of Shang Shusheng since Emperor Yuan was enthroned, and Shang Shusheng has obeyed the orders of the Fu family. If Emperor Yuan wants to govern himself, he will inevitably conflict with his authoritarian relatives," Bai Xu calmly analyzed: "If he If you want to restore your rights, you can only rely on the closest people around you to initiate a court coup, and cut off the influence of the other relatives."
"The closest person to him?" Lu Kang asked puzzledly: "You mean his guard and concubine?"
"The guard is a military commander, and can't always wait on the side of Emperor Yuan; if the concubine is involved in politics, it is inevitable that there will be a second empress dowager," Bai Hao paused, and continued: "So the closest person to the emperor can help the most. The person who initiated the court coup was the eunuch."
With a "pop", Lu Kang closed the paper fan and stood up and said, "Don't hide your son, the next is the leader of the central court, Lu Kang, today I heard from the son, I know that the son is not a thing in the pool, and I don't know the son. Are you willing to return to court with me? Emperor Yuan will never treat someone like you badly."
Bai Xu shook his head and replied indifferently: "No, from now to next month, I still have nine hundred and eighty percent of the scriptures to be copied."
It is not a day or two for Emperor Yuan to accept virtues. If others hear of his Lu Kang's name, they will also say something about the way of marching as an official, showing himself more intelligent, and bringing himself closer to wealth and authority.
But this person said indifferently, "The scriptures have not been copied", and rejected him thousands of miles away. He was really indifferent to fame and fortune and did nothing.
Lu Kang didn't get annoyed, smiled and stood up, saying, "In that case, I will leave now."
After all, he really walked out without reluctance.
Away from the small wooden house, Lu Kang looked back, and the man under the lamp was still carefully copying the scriptures.
He sighed softly and muttered to himself: "I'm afraid, this person wants your majesty to come and welcome him personally."

Yin Xun sent dark guards to search for Shen Wujie and Bai Junzhuo, but the whereabouts of them were not found in the entire mountain, only Lingye Temple was left.
He ordered someone to block the way down the mountain, and Shen Wujie must still stay on the mountain. He had only one place to hide from Lingye Temple.
At this time, it was too late for the ‘color’. Yin Xun overcame the wall and entered the Lingye Temple. He jumped onto a tall tree and looked over the whole temple. The temples were distributed in the shape of
Tian
.
There is a tallest temple not far away, probably the main hall of the Lingye Temple where the gods are enshrined. If Shen Wujie really hid in this temple, he would be easily spotted in other places. Only the main hall was crowded and no one would pay attention to him. He performed his light work and jumped on the roof of the main hall, leaned over and listened for a while, determined that there was no one below, and jumped silently, opened the door and walked in.
Entering the main hall, Yin Xun lit a fire and illuminated it. The hollow of the hall was ‘dang’ and there was a statue of Guanyin on the front.
Yin Xun raised the Huo Zhezi a little higher, and when he saw the face of the Guanyin statue, his brows frowned.
This Guanyin statue has a long face, and what he holds in his hand is not a ‘jade’ bottle, but a doll with a head as big as a bucket.
No matter how you look at it, it's wickedly ‘forcing’ people. Could someone really come to worship it?
"Who?!" someone outside the hall suddenly shouted, Yin Xun immediately blew out the fire and ran behind the Buddha statue.
Then, two young monks with torches walked in and took photos in the hall. No one was found. Finally, they took a photo of the Buddha statue. One of them said: "Brother, the abbot is not talking about it. This Buddha statue should be made of white cloth. Wrap it, is it not allowed to'show' out?"
His senior replied, "The white cloth was hung for a month, and a layer of ashes fell. I took it and washed it today."
The little monk rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "This Buddha image is really scary. I don't know if I can make it..."
His senior patted his head with a "pop" and reminded: "Speak carefully. This is related to the people in the palace. Once you say something wrong, you don't know how to die!"
"Brother, this thing has something to do with someone in the palace, when will our original abbot come back? Master Shi Wu is sometimes too..."
"Shhh..." His senior brother made a silent gesture, "You don't want to die, you dare to say Shi Wu Shishu behind your back!"
"Brother, I just told you, I have never told anyone else."
"Yes, never say, this matter is still involved in the palace, if you do something wrong someday, you will not be the one who died!"
The little monk nodded immediately, and said in a shame: "Brother, let's go back first. I think it's ‘ghost’ here, so scary."
After that, the two of them walked out of the hall and locked the large wooden ‘door’ with the lacquered paint.
After the two of them left, Yin Xun walked out from behind the Buddha statue, lit the fire book again, and stood in front of the Buddha statue to look at it. Who is in the palace related to this thing?
He stared at the Buddha statue for a long time, and didn't know what it was, so he leaned forward and took a closer look. The more he looked at it, the more he felt panic.
The big-headed baby in the hands of the Buddha statue was facing the Buddha statue. Yin Xun wanted to see if the baby had the facial features carved, so he stretched out his hand and ‘touched’ its face facing the Buddha’s belly.
At this time, Yin Xun suddenly discovered that the baby's base was loose and could be moved, so he turned the baby's face to face him.
He saw the baby's face clearly, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes. He had never seen such an ugly sculpture. The baby's face was wrinkled, like the face of an eighty-year-old man, and there were few carvings on his stomach. A belly, inside intestines and stomach, etc. were all'exposed', the most evil thing was the eyes, which showed obvious unkindness, which was particularly frightening.
After looking at it, he turned around again, and moved the baby's face back. As soon as he moved to the original position, he heard a "boom" and a ‘hole’ was opened directly under the Buddha statue.
