Chang'an is good

Chapter 171 He Has Been Concealing Something
After getting Wujue's confirmation, Emperor Shengji asked: "If she really has Chongyue's soul in her body, will this formation hurt her?"

Wujue said sternly: "If you interact with the formation, you will probably experience obvious discomfort, but it will not endanger your life for a while. At that time, you only need to block the induction in time and take people away from the formation."

Emperor Shengji nodded: "So I can rest assured."

"I will immediately send an order to stay in Dayun Temple for three days... The left leader Wei General Li Yi and General Chang have led their troops to Huainan Road. I want to win 20 rebellious soldiers for me. Fast here for three days to pray for God's protection."

She said: "In this case, I invite the Lord Chang and the young lady to come here and pray for General Chang with me."

Such a statement is reasonable and will not arouse any doubts.

She first had to make sure that the girl could come to Dayun Temple smoothly without being disturbed and follow her arrangement.

The intention of the emperor's words was very clear, Cui Jing and others heard it, and they should know what to do and what not to do.

At this time, Emperor Shengji looked at Mingluo: "Gu'an, I will leave this matter to you. Tomorrow morning, you will go back to the city and go to the Changfu in person, and pass on my oral order to bring the girl from the Chang family here to pray for blessings."

Ming Luo's thoughts froze for a moment, and he answered "Yes" with his lowered eyes.

But she could notice that the eyes of the Holy Book Emperor did not leave her for a while.

That gaze was calm and silent, but it gave her a very strong sense of being scrutinized, as if all her thoughts and thoughts were being seen through under that gaze.

Ming Luo felt a chill all over his body, but his back was soaked in sweat in this late autumn.

After a while, the voice sounded again: "Remember, there must be no mistakes in this matter."

"Yes, rest assured, Your Majesty." Ming Luo tried his best to make his voice sound calm and steady: "Luo Er understands."

The aunt is reminding her that this matter is very important to the aunt. The phrase "There must be no mistakes" is intended to make her pay attention to all those who may hinder this matter, and she... is also included .

It turned out that this was the reason why my aunt still asked her to come here to listen to the matter tonight.

She finally understood now.

Unlike Governor Cui and Master Wujue, her role tonight is to see clearly the situation and her own position in this matter.

My aunt did not hide anything like this, which seemed to be a sign of trust in her, but in fact, my aunt did not want to cause unnecessary troubles because of her—instead of letting her have unknown guesses in the dark, which might hinder this matter secretly, my aunt chose In order to let her know all the plans, put her completely above the bright side, and even make her responsible for this matter, so as to kill all troubles.

The emperor wants to control the world instead of avoiding it, and employs people instead of avoiding them, so the word control is particularly important, and her aunt has always been very good at controlling others.

At least, she could feel very clearly at this moment that she was under the control of her aunt from the beginning to the end.

She is like a small ant in front of the emperor, and the emperor has set a boundary for her, how she crawls and explores within this boundary, the emperor who looks down on all this will not care.

At this time, the emperor was reminding her not to cross the line.

This reminder is for immediate matters, and in the future, it is to remind her to "be safe and secure" for a long time... So, is my aunt really starting to prepare for the return of "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess"?

But what about her?
If that absurd delusion really comes true, if there are really traces of Princess Chongyue on Chang Suining's body, even if it's just a little... then where is her shelter?
Is there really any "long time" in her future?
"If it is true that Chongyue has returned, Master Wujue and Cui Qing, including Gu'an, who has traveled between Dayun Temple and Miyagi these years, are all my heroes."

There was a hint of hope in the eyes of Emperor Shengji: "It's been 12 years...whether or not God will have mercy on me and Chongyue, the answer will be available tomorrow."

Outside the tower, the sound of rain had stopped at some point.

However, the starless and moonless night was still pitch black.

As the night deepened, most of the lights in the temple had been turned off, and the whole majestic and majestic temple was immersed in the cold and damp night, making it impossible to distinguish the original outline.

Abbot Wujue's room had already turned off the lights.

Although the rain has stopped, the wind has not stopped, and the tightly closed window lattices creak from time to time.

When there was another "creak" sound that didn't sound much different, there was a cold wind blowing in.

Wujue sat up from the bed, as if about to get up to close the window.

However, before he could reach the window with his bare feet, someone suddenly restrained his shoulders from the side and covered his mouth.

There was also a black shadow that entered the room with the wind just now.

The non-aggressive black figure lowered his voice and said, "Master, don't make a sound, it's me."

Wujue nodded.

Cui Jing withdrew his hand and took a step back, raising his hand to apologize.

Wujue didn't speak, just closed the window and fastened it from the inside, then grabbed the young man's arm, pulled him to his bed, silently made a "follow up" gesture.

Afterwards, Wujue knelt down first, and crawled to the bottom of the bed wriggling in the darkness.

Cui Jing: "..."

Is this the eminent monk in the eyes of the world?

Seeing that Wujue poked out a hand from under the bed and waved towards him, Cui Jing crawled in together without hesitation.

Fortunately, Wujue didn't intend to invite him to lie down on the bed to talk, otherwise, considering that one of them is too round and the other is too tall, the small bed would be really crowded.

At the bottom of the bed there is a secret passage for the mechanism that Wujue is best at arranging, which is very concealed.

After Wujue opened the mechanism, he led Cui Jing into the secret passage, and after the two entered, the mechanism closed behind him.

Cui Jing followed Wujue along the secret passage for a short distance in the dark, and felt that the surrounding area became spacious. Wujue skillfully groped to the side, lit an oil lamp, and it lit up all around, showing that it was a secret room.

Cui Jing's gaze first landed on the wine jars piled up into a hill.

Wujue followed his line of sight, and said seriously: "...they are all empty, use them to guard against the walls with ears! All the pots and jars have the effect of blocking the sound, Cui Dadu must also know Bar?"

Cui Jing nodded.

But as far as he knows, if the pots and jars are to have the effect of collecting sound, they need to be built in the wall, and it is not possible to perfunctory the sound by placing them randomly.

Besides, the smell of alcohol is really strong, the rats living here are afraid that they will be drunk all day long, and after he goes out later, he has to be careful to dispose of the smell left on his body.

Cui Jing had no intention of dragging the matter of the abbot and the abbot secretly hiding wine, he explained his purpose: "Cui Jing came here for the Tiannv Pagoda."

"I know, that's why I stayed at the window and waited for the predestined man Cui Dadu to come." Wujue didn't bother to call himself a poor monk, he looked at the young man in front of him: "Cui Dadu has indeed come."

He sighed deeply, but his eyes gradually filled with a smile, and his voice was a little hoarse: "When Governor Cui comes, I have the answer in my heart."

Facing the seemingly calm eyes, but with countless emotional turmoil, but still with a hint of questioning eyes, Cui Jing nodded: "Yes."

Yes.

This word fell on Wujuexin, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He seemed to be unable to stand still, so he stepped back, sat down slowly against the cold stone wall, and wiped his wet eyes with his fat hand.

Just when Cui Jing was thinking about what to say, Wujue slapped his thigh, suddenly laughed, and sighed happily: "I knew it, I still have some skills!"

"When I see Your Highness, I will turn around and ask, now she looks at that old man Tian Jing and me, who is more powerful!"

Cui Jing: "The reason why the master set up this magic circle at the beginning was to prove this point to His Highness?"

Wujue: "Isn't it!"

This is of course a joke.

Cui Jing also sat cross-legged on the floor.

It was clearly a dark secret room, and the ground was full of dust, but the young man in black robe sat down like this, inexplicably causing Wu Jue to feel that this secret room was rather luxurious.

Tsk, this kid, wherever you stand is expensive.

Wujue put away the emotion at that moment, and looked at the young man again, with a lot of thought and inquiry in his eyes: "May I ask when Chief Cui confirmed it?"

"It was just speculation before, but it is really confirmed that it is tonight."

"Can I hear how Chief Cui confirmed it?"

Cui Jing nodded, explaining his guess all the way to Wujue, including what Wujue mentioned to him before, that Guan Changsuining's face had changed.

"...Yes." Wujue said slowly: "The girl came to Dayun Temple after escaping from Hezhou, and I saw a slight change at a glance."

But at that time, he only thought of it as the change after the child's catastrophe, and he didn't think too much about it, so he only laughed and said at that time, "Young Suining looks more and more beautiful."

"Since Governor Cui has confirmed it, but just now... why did you hide this matter from His Majesty?" Wujue asked tentatively.

The young man didn't hesitate: "It's up to her to decide whether she wants to say something about it."

He doesn't know what she thinks, how she thinks of the saint, but since she hasn't revealed anything for a long time, she must have her own plan, or she hasn't considered it yet.

Wujue: "If you do this, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor... If you still dare to come looking for me, you are not afraid that I will turn around and tell the saint?"

"This resurrection formation is a forbidden technique that has not been handed down. Its method violates the balance of the cycle of heaven and earth. The master wanted to set up the formation secretly. It was only after being discovered by the sage that he was able to build this Dayun Temple. After the master insisted on setting up the formation, he became seriously ill. For two years, I almost lost my life—"

These are the places that can be seen, not seen, or paid more.

Cui Jing looked at Wujue, with admiration in his eyes: "The master is the one who sacrificed the most for this matter. If Cui Jing doesn't even trust the master, no one can be trusted."

Wujue let out a long breath, and smiled: "Cui Dadu really regards the matter of 'that girl' as his own."

Cui Jing moved the corner of his mouth slightly, but he did not deny it.

"You are right. This matter should be decided by her herself. Since I decided to set up this battle, I have planned it like this..." Wujue said in a low voice: "Your Highness is not doing it this time. Whose courtier, whose child... She just needs to be herself and do what she wants to do."

Speaking of this, Wujue looked at Cui Jing: "So, I lied to the saint from the beginning."

Cui Jing was serious and waited for him to continue.

"This soul-returning secret technique is not without a precedent... A hundred years ago, someone in the Western Regions set up this array. The dead were able to resurrect their bodies decades later, but they were burned to death as evil spirits soon after."

"At the beginning, when my friend found the dilapidated ancient book in the Western Regions, he also inquired about this matter, but he erased all traces of the old rumor at that time in order to prevent the matter from being leaked."

The friend he mentioned was Menglie.

"Back then, I never planned to tell the saint that I wanted to set up an array to summon His Highness's soul, but the saint noticed by accident... that's all."

It's just that he has some reservations in the end, and he hasn't told the saint the truth that this array is very likely to come true. He doesn't want the saint to have too much hope, so that if it comes true in the future, he won't be able to cover up for the returning Highness.

To put it bluntly, he had long been prepared to part ways with the saint if His Highness came back.

But he was not sure in what capacity His Highness would come back, and how many years he would have to wait for his return. He originally thought that he might not be able to wait until he died.

Unexpectedly, God was willing to show mercy to him, a man who was destined not to die well.

"...If it wasn't for that old man Tianjing who broke his mouth, the saint would not have noticed so quickly! He is the only one who knows how to look at pictures when he leaves the customs!" It's the end of the year, why didn't he shut him down!"

These words are detrimental to merit, but he has done everything against the sky, so he naturally has the qualifications to break the jar.

"Some saints trust him...the saints believe everything he says."

Wujue frowned and said: "Actually, I am not only secretly guarding against Your Majesty, but also Your Majesty does not completely trust me... Back then, because the old book containing this secret technique was slightly missing, the sage used to secretly make people search for the book as an excuse Because, after taking it for a while, I suspect that the sky mirror has already been seen."

Cui Jing: "That's why the master told the sage just now the method of entering the battle."

Wujue nodded.

This method is indirectly recorded in that ancient book, if he keeps silent, and if Tian Jing remembers, the sage will know later that he is deliberately concealing it, so it is equivalent to not calling himself.

As for the situation in the pagoda just now, he had already tried to dispel the saint's speculation on the grounds that "the daughter of the Chang family is not of the blood of the Ming and Li families", but the saint's heart is very firm. If he insists on denying it again, he will say It doesn't work.

"Master, do you remember what you and I saw when 'she' first came to Dayun Temple?" Cui Jing asked.

"Remember... If you think about it, it's an inadvertent interaction with the formation."

Cui Jing said: "At that time she had not yet entered the tower, but she already had such a feeling. If she enters the tower tomorrow, there will definitely be something strange."

Wujue was worried: "But this formation must be entered tomorrow... because no matter what method is used to avoid it, it will only confirm the sage's guess."

Cui Jing: "Does the master have a way to deal with it?"

"My master knows that I like to cause trouble, so he left me something that can slightly prevent the disaster of the formation... But this formation is an evil formation, and that thing is probably useless..."

While thinking endlessly, I heard the young man in front of me say: "There is no way to deal with it, this junior has a suggestion, I don't know if it is possible—"

Wujue looked at the young man seriously.

……

　Goodnight everybody.
