Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 109
The prince held the bamboo book and said slowly: "The "Nuzulu" is the treasure book of the Nufu Cult. The Nufu Cult has hundreds of thousands of followers. With the "Nuzulu", you can order the Nufu Cult. Is it?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I've heard of it."

"Two months ago, this bamboo book appeared in my arms. I don't know how it got here, but I know it will kill me.

If it is seen by my father, it will kill me, if it is seen by my mother, it will kill me, if it is seen by anyone in the clan, it will kill me, they will say that I usurp, they will say that I rebel, would kill my head, you know? "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I know."

"I want to throw it away, but as long as it leaves me for more than a hundred steps, it will return to my arms, you know?"

"I saw it," Xu Zhiqiong nodded, "but why didn't His Highness destroy it?"

"It can't be destroyed!" The prince took the bamboo book and burned it on the candle, but the bamboo book didn't catch fire.

The prince tore it hard with both hands, but the bamboo book was not damaged at all.

The prince threw the bamboo book to the ground, drew his sword and chopped it off.

Not even a sword mark was left on the bamboo book.

"You saw it, it can't be destroyed."

It's amazing.

Who came up with such a vicious method to frame the prince?
The prince went on to say: "I have thought about all the ways, and I even went to An Shuyuan to find someone to help."

The prince finally talked about Anshuyuan.

Xu Zhiqiong asked cautiously, "Is there anyone in Anshu Courtyard?"

"Yes, I thought she could help me, but she couldn't. I met you that day, and I knew you were the mouse."

This is the question Xu Zhiqiong wants to know the most: "How do you know that mouse is me?"

"My eyes can see souls!" The prince's eyes were bloodshot, and his pupils turned red. Seeing him like this, Xu Zhiqiong felt chills down his spine.

The prince stared at Xu Zhiqiong: "I can see that only you are willing to save me, and you are willing to save me, right?"

are you willing?
It depends on how to say it.

Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to get involved in the grievances of the royal family.

It would be a joke to say that the crown prince regards him as a brother, even if the crown prince is serious, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't want to climb this high branch.

The king of a country turns his face too quickly, even if the prince is only the prince, he may not be soft when he turns his face.

But he did save Xu Zhiqiong.

If he and Liu Gong took the initiative to fight just now, no matter who wins or loses, the consequences will be unimaginable. From this point of view, Xu Zhiqiong owes the prince a lot.

Xu Zhiqiong has never been ambiguous about paying back what is owed.

He picked up "Ancestors of Wrath" and flipped through it, the prince said beside him: "I don't understand."

"Who says you can't read, I know every word!"

I can read every character, but I really can't understand them together. The characters are arranged in a mess, and I don't even understand the most basic meaning.

Is this volume of "Ancestors of Wrath" real or fake?

It must be true, if it is false, it will not be able to frame the prince at all.

This book is written in dark text. Xu Zhiqiong is no stranger to such things as dark text. The "Ancestor of Nursing Sutra" is even more brilliant, even if you don't decipher the cipher text, you can read the "Huagu Juan", but the "Ancestor of Nursing Record" is completely unintelligible.

Put aside the contents of "Ancestors of Nursing", the most urgent thing is to think about saving the prince in this way.

If you want the prince to get rid of this "Ancestor of Wrath", you have to start with the origin of this book. First, who gave this bamboo book to the prince?The second is who made this bamboo book.

It may seem like the first problem is easier to solve, but in reality there is no way to do it.

The prince is not a lunatic, but in the eyes of outsiders, he does have serious mental problems. In the clan, there are countless people who want to frame the prince and then seek the position of crown prince. Liang Yuming is one of them, and the sixth princess Liang Yuyao is probably one of them one.

The second question still has some clues, who made this book?

The crown prince shook his head and said, "The "Nu Zulu" was written in the reign of Taizu, more than seven hundred years ago, how can we trace it back?"

Xu Zhiqiong was also shocked by the Xuan Guozuo for more than [-] years, but the dynasty was blessed by the Canglong True God, so it is reasonable for the country to last.

This is not the crux of the matter.

"We need to know who wrote this book, regardless of when "Ancestors of Nursing" was written."

The prince blinked his eyes and said, "Why can't I understand this? Isn't this book the "Ancestor of Wrath"?"

Xu Zhiqiong held the bamboo book and said: "Let's just read this book, no matter what kind of book it is, this book is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, it proves that it must be made by the superb Mohist craftsmanship. Your Highness, do you know Gaopin?" Is it a Mohist craftsman?"

"I recognize Ye Ansheng, the owner of the penance workshop, he has a fourth-grade cultivation."

"Ask him to come and destroy this book."

The prince shook his head and said, "I can't trust him."

"Besides him, do you know any other Mohist cultivators?"

"There are still two of the fourth rank, and more than a dozen of the fifth rank."

"Can't you believe it?"

The prince nodded and said: "It's about life, I can't trust anyone."

He couldn't believe any of them, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help it.

Call Niu Yuxian?

Niu Yuxian hadn't reached the eighth rank yet, so with his cultivation, he might not be able to destroy this book.

Even if he has this ability, it is impossible for the crown prince to trust Niu Yuxian.

There is no way for the Mo family to go this way.

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, let's bury this book first."

"It's useless to bury it. I tried it, and it was still in my arms the next day, not even a single silt touched it."

"Bury it again, and I'll see what happens."

The two buried the bamboo book together, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your Highness, please go further away, I will watch here."

The prince walked far away, just a hundred steps later, the bamboo book appeared in his arms again, it really didn't touch any dirt.

Xu Zhiqiong dug up the place where the books were buried, and it was empty.

If the book grows legs and runs back to the prince's arms, it proves that there may be Mohist institutions in the book.

However, the soil where the book was buried has not been turned over, and there is no tunnel in the pit, which proves that the bamboo book did not walk by itself, but has shifted in space, which proves that there is a yin and yang magic circle on the book.

"Your Highness, do you have any familiar Yin-Yang practitioners?"

"I also know Tai Bu."

"But can't you trust him?"

"Who would believe that old fox!"

This is reasonable, Xu Zhiqiong still doesn't know the purpose of Taibu's investigation of "Nuzulu".

"Presumably other Yin-Yang cultivators can't believe it either?"

The prince looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "I can't trust anyone except you and that person from Anshuyuan!"

"Thank you, Prince, for your kindness." Xu Zhiqiong was in a dilemma.

The prince can't trust anyone but Xu Zhiqiong, but Xu Zhiqiong can't destroy the book, nor can he unravel the yin-yang magic circle in the book.

By the way, there is also the one from Anshuyuan.

"Can I join forces with that expert from Anshuyuan to destroy this book?"

"I'm afraid I can't," the crown prince shook his head and said, "That person doesn't know Yin-Yang art, nor Mohist techniques, and she doesn't want to meet strangers, what if you go and don't come back?"

"It's going to be difficult."

The two fell into deep thought.

……

In Yuyao Palace, red bricks, red tiles, red walls, red pillars, pavilions and pavilions are all painted in red, and red flowers are planted all over the courtyard.

The sixth princess, Liang Yuyao, put on a red dress, drank some tea, and looked sad.

Han Di covered his face with bandages, served carefully, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what did you find out?"

Liang Yuyao rolled her eyes at Han Di: "I told you to take care of your wounds, but why did you come here? Did you come here to see my joke?"

Han Di hastily saluted and said: "I dare not, my subordinate is, because I was bullied by Xu Zhiqiong too much, and I expect Your Highness to avenge my subordinate."

"What you said sounds reasonable," Liang Yuyao was silent for a moment, and then told Han Di, "Call Tao Huayuan."

Han Di went out to call for someone, and after a while, a woman in red came to the main hall.

"Go to Yushitai and tell the two Yushi Zhang and Wu to read a copy of the Imperial City Secretary, and say that the yamen in charge of the lamp is arrogant and domineering, and it has aroused people's resentment. Wu Xu should be dismissed and investigated!"

Tao Huayuan took the order and left.

Liang Yuyao said angrily: "Zhong Can, Wu Xu, two lunatics, they found me!"

Han Di said in surprise: "Xu Zhiqiong came here to investigate His Highness?"

Liang Yuyao was playing with a safflower in her hand, and whispered: "Wu Xu can't tell, that guy is used to being arrogant, Zhong Shen probably doesn't have the guts, it must have been ordered by the crown prince.
This guy usually only knows how to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but now he has learned to act first!I want to see who is poisoning today! Have you checked the news of "Nuzulu"? "

Han Di said: "This subordinate has just received the news from the servant Ge Wuquan that he has personally seen a bamboo book on the prince's body, called "Nuzulu"."

Liang Yuyao said, "He's not frightened by your appearance, is he?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate didn't see him tonight, and only spoke a few words with him across the screen."

Liang Yuyao smiled and said: "I really can't underestimate you, but you can even seduce an eunuch. I love you so much, I really misunderstood you."

Han Di hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for cultivating it."

"Go and call Pang Jiafen, Shi Yanru and the others, you can go down and rest."

Pang Jiafen and Shi Yanru are the oldest maids and also the highest-ranking emissaries in red in the Red Clothes Pavilion.

Call them to prove that great things are to be done.

"Your Highness, are you going to issue a red dress order?"

Liang Yuyao frowned and said, "You talk too much today."

Han Di saluted again: "Your Highness, I want to learn more from you and come back after learning some real skills."

"How do you gain knowledge?" Liang Yuyao smiled, "You are not good at cultivation, and you rely on your face to do things. Now that your face has become like this, do you still want to go out to shame people? I regard you as a confidant, and you should live up to it Some, go back to recuperate, but half of what happened tonight has been leaked, watch your tongue."

……

The crown prince and Xu Zhiqiong thought about countermeasures, from Zishi to Yinshi, the sky was almost dawn.

Xu Zhiqiong yawned and said, "Your Highness, I can't think of a way tonight, so let's rest first."

The prince shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, I haven't been able to sleep for several nights."

"You can't sleep, but I'm going to sleep."

"I can't sleep, how can you sleep? Aren't we brothers?"

"Brother must sleep too!"

While speaking, Lu Yunxi, a servant in the Eastern Palace, ran in with his face full of sweat, panting, "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess is wearing a red-clothed command arrow and leading the people in the red-clothed pavilion to search our Eastern Palace!"

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "This shrew has finally attacked me! Let her search, let her search to the bottom, I'll see what she finds out!"

Lu Yunxi seemed to know some inside information, and came to the prince's ear: "The sixth princess is searching for His Highness everywhere, and Ice Well will be found soon!"

The prince said angrily: "Why do you still want to search the body?"

Xu Zhiqiong was confused?
What Red Clothes Pavilion?

What red-clothed command arrow?
Search East Palace?
Still want to search the prince's body?
"Except for His Majesty the Emperor, who would dare to search the Crown Prince?"

The crown prince asked Lu Yunxi to go out to guard first, then turned to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "You don't know, the emperor established the Red Clothes Pavilion last year, and Liang Yuyao is the owner of the pavilion, responsible for monitoring everyone in the palace. They dare not search, and the rest of them can search whoever they want!"

These six princesses have great power.

This prince is so useless.

In the imperial palace, there are forbidden soldiers, eunuchs, ice well workers, and the Red Clothes Pavilion. The emperor is really careful in his life these days!
What to do, if the "Ancestor of Nursing" is found, the crown prince is finished, and I will be implicated as well.

While thinking about it, Lu Yunxi pushed open the door and said, "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess is here with her envoy in red!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You go out first and block them for a while."

Lu Yun panicked and said, "How can I stop it!"

The prince said angrily: "Go as soon as you are told!"

As soon as Lu Yunxi left, Xu Zhiqiong said to the prince, "Give me the "Ancestor of Wrath"."

"What's the use of giving it to you, a hundred steps away, this thing has to return to me! You go first, don't implicate you!"

"Give it to me first!"

Xu Zhiqiong took the "Ancestor of Wrath", turned around and went into the back room. In the blink of an eye, the sixth princess had already arrived outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, come out!" Liang Yuyao shouted outside the door.

The prince snorted coldly: "I won't go out!"

"If you don't go out, I will come in!"

"Don't come in, I have no clothes on."

Liang Yuyao smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? We grew up together since we were young. Is there anything on you that I haven't seen? Prince, listen to what my sister said. Take out what you should take out. Father knows that you are always crazy. Stupid, I won't blame you."

"You're crazy, you're stupid! I don't have anything here, so hurry up!"

"In this case, my sister will be offended!"

When the voice fell to the ground, Liang Yuyao kicked open the door and shouted, "Search for me!"

The prince said angrily: "I'll see who dares to touch me!"

Both Pang Jiafen and Shi Yanru have the cultivation base of the sixth-rank killer. The prince struggled hard, but he was not their opponent. After being subdued, he searched from head to toe, but found nothing.

The prince shouted: "Search, keep searching, I see what you can find!"

The sixth princess rolled her eyes and asked, "Where's Xu Zhiqiong?"

"What Xu Zhiqiong?" The prince pretended to be confused, "Which Xu Zhiqiong are you talking about?"

"You go to the ice well every day, but you don't even know the supervisor?" Liang Yuyao sneered, "Hand over Xu Zhiqiong, if I find him, I'll kill him immediately!"

"Hand it over, hand it over..." The prince didn't know how to answer, and suddenly saw Xu Zhiqiong walking out of the back room by himself.

"I've seen Her Majesty the Princess." Xu Zhiqiong gave a calm salute. Before he could speak, the Sixth Princess immediately ordered: "Search him together!"

Two red-clothed envoys stepped forward and held Xu Zhiqiong, Xu Zhiqiong blushed and said: "You can't do it, you can't do it, you can't move around there, if you have a foundation, be careful, be gentle..."

Searched up and down, still nothing.

The sixth princess panicked.

The prince said angrily: "After searching for a long time, what exactly are you searching for?"

The princess didn't answer, and ordered the two emissaries in red: "Let me search this house carefully."

The two red-clothed envoys searched carefully, and even Xu Zhiqiong's bed was split open, but they still couldn't find it.

The crown prince gritted his teeth and said, "Liang Yuyao, this matter is not over yet, let's discuss it with Father tomorrow!"

Liang Yuyao sneered: "You don't have to wait until tomorrow, I'll go see Father right now, you still have time to hand over the things now, if you wait for Father to find them out himself, be careful of your life!"

After finishing speaking, Liang Yuyao took her away.

If it were someone else, she would ask the red-clothed envoy to arrest the suspect.

But this is the prince after all, she dare not go too far.

After waiting for a long time, it was true that the sixth princess had gone far away, the prince panted and said, "Where did you take Dong XZ?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's an extremely secret place."

"No matter how secretive it is, it's useless. Liang Yuyao will definitely make a fuss with the royal father. The royal father summoned me to go there. As long as I leave this place, that thing has to come back to me."

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Your Highness, let me try."

The two left the house and walked more than a hundred steps. Xu Zhiqiong asked, "Is the thing back?"

The prince touched his chest, and said with surprise, "No, I really didn't come back!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's better to be more cautious, take a closer look to see if it slipped into the clothes."

"That's right, let me take a closer look!"

The prince undressed, and Xu Zhiqiong helped the prince undress.

Halfway through taking off, Chen Shuncai, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of rites, covered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." The prince hurriedly put on his clothes.

Chen Shuncai looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and then at the crown prince: "Your Majesty has an order to announce that the crown prince will go to Tianzhang Pavilion."

"What did you tell me to do? Did Liang Yuyao sue me for being a dick so soon?" The prince put his hips on his hips and returned to his crazy appearance.

Chen Shuncai said: "The Sixth Princess hasn't arrived yet. Your Majesty already knew about such a commotion in the East Palace."

"It's good that the father knows, and we can't take advantage of that shrew!" The prince straightened his waist, and was about to go with Chen Shuncai, but Chen Shuncai said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Xu Denglang, let's go together!"

Xu Zhiqiong blinked: "I'm going too?"

Chen Shuncai frowned and said, "Can you get out of this matter?"
