Chang'an is good

Chapter 175 Someone is helping her

The golden bead precisely hit the copper lotus lampstand with the ever-burning lamp.

The golden bead and the candlestick collided with each other and made a light sound, but the sound between the candlestick and the long burning lamp falling to the ground was louder, which could cover up the former.

The fire ignited the veil depicting scriptures, and the monk who had just arrived here, holding a can of lamp oil and was about to go up to add a lamp, saw that it suddenly burned for some reason, and took a step back in panic, shaking his hand, and the oil Cans fall.

The lamp oil was spilled all over the ground, and the fire immediately spread on it, and it burned with a "boom"!

A corner of the monk's robe was also set on fire, and in a panic he bent over and slapped his sleeve.

"It's on fire!"

"quick!"

Ming Luo's complexion changed, and he looked back, seeing this situation, he immediately got up: "Hurry up and get water to put out the fire!"

She didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment, and there was only one thought in her mind - if the Tiannv Pagoda was burned before her eyes, she would have no way to explain it to her aunt!

Not only the tower cannot be destroyed, but also none of the important things in the tower can be destroyed!
So Ming Luo quickly rushed to the place where the fire broke out, arranged for monks and servants to put out the fire, and moved the important things to the side of Yuchi.

Because of praying for blessings, the pagoda was covered with scriptures and cloths, and because candles were always burning in the pagoda, thick smoke soon rose as the fire spread.

Chang Suining covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, coughed and retreated behind a screen, raised his head and looked around the tower, and silently recited the Qimen Formation formula he had heard from Wujue again in his heart.

The effect of the medicine on her body was about to fade, and she didn't have time to make a deal with Ming Luo. She just said those words just to divert Ming Luo's attention.

The next thing is what she really wants to do.

According to the mystery of the formation that she saw after half a day's discrimination, she quickly measured her feet and counted silently in her heart, and came to a staircase leading to the second floor.

Chang Suining tried to step on a few floor tiles under his feet, and raised his hand to try to feel for the beast statue beside the stairs, but there was no response.

Not here.

Most of her knowledge is military formations, after all she is not proficient in these complicated formations, she can only try one by one by guessing.

She can't last long in this tower, and only by trying to break through this formation can she cut off the possibility of exposure from the root.

After half a day of observation, it can be seen that the eyes are hidden in a hidden place. Even if she breaks in the dark, ordinary people will not notice the clues for a while-she dares to do this, not because she doesn't care about it, but because she relies on it. Act in an inexhaustible position.

Now that it can be seen that Wujue is not from Empress Ming, she can safely break the formation without worrying that Wujue will tell Empress Ming that the formation has been destroyed when she turns around. As for future troubles, just play it by ear .

In such a situation, if you don't want to be caught without a fight, you can only take one step at a time.

At this time, she needs to solve the biggest trouble in front of her first.

After another trial and error, Chang Suining came to a hidden mural. At this moment, her face was dripping with cold sweat, and there was no blood on her lips.

She raised her eyes to look at the brightly colored murals in front of her, and saw that the paintings on them were not ordinary gods and Buddhas, but the Shura Hell where countless evil spirits were struggling.

Chang Suining raised his hand without changing his face, and his fingers landed on the mural depicting terrifying and bloody images.

She probed with her hands, trying to find some clues from the painting, and finally her eyes fell on the tall ghost with blue face and fangs in the painting that seemed to be in charge of this side of purgatory.

The ghost was holding a booklet, but the book was being burned by the fire at the moment.

Chang Suining's fingers were pressed on the fire, and he felt a slight looseness. He immediately used his hand as a fist and smashed it down on the stone wall with all his strength.

In the next moment, the mural was divided into two, and the stone wall became a door, and it slowly moved away from her eyes.

When the heavy stone gate moved halfway, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind, and a sharp arrow rapidly enlarged in Chang Suining's pupils, and it came to her with the intent to kill with one blow——

There was no way for Chang Sui Ning to avoid it, when he leaned back, the sharp arrow was about to reach between her eyebrows.

But the arrow suddenly stopped——

The arrow body was tightly held by the girl in her hand.

Chang Suining straightened up, turned slightly, and fixed his eyes on the fully opened stone gate.

I haven't seen the eyes of the formation yet, but they are all organs blocking the way.

These organs should be set up for the eyes of the formation, otherwise everyone can come in and destroy the formation.

It should be her action of opening the stone door that triggered the mechanism. At this moment, in the dark tunnel leading to the underground, the sound of the mechanism turning can be heard.

Chang Suining

Wujue is good at two kinds of mechanism formations, one is a live formation that can be started and stopped, just like a trigger mechanism, as long as you find something that can shut down the mechanism, it can be stopped.And the other is a death formation that cannot be shut down once it is set up, unless the mechanism is completely destroyed or all the intruders die.

Obviously the latter is more powerful, once someone breaks in, there is no possibility of a roundabout response, there is only one person and agency.

Chang Suining, who came with bare hands, tried to shake the newly borrowed long arrow in her hand. The effect of the medicine on her body had faded, and the pain sensation and other sensations recovered.

Now that the consciousness has been restored, you might as well give it a try.

She still has some understanding of Wujue's mechanism.

Chang Suining glanced at the arrow in his hand: "It's up to you."

Although it's a bit shabby, it's better than nothing. After she breaks in, I'll use other better ones.

Holding the arrow, the girl raised her foot and walked into the secret passage.

And the next moment, her feet stopped suddenly.

wrong……

In the dark, Chang Suining listened intently, only to hear the sound of the rotating mechanism suddenly stop.

The next moment, there was another sound, but it seemed to be the sound of all the organs scattered everywhere.

Wait a moment, and everything will be silent.

Things went wrong, Chang Suining subconsciously withdrew from the secret passage, wanting to wait and see.

When she walked out of the secret passage, she suddenly froze.

Those invisible sharp blades that had stayed in her body to tear and strangle since she entered the tower seemed to be suddenly drained of power just like those organs.

Soon, Chang Suining noticed that the pain and discomfort on his body were obviously gradually reducing, and he was moving away from her.

After counting breaths, she subconsciously shook her head.

My head doesn't seem to hurt anymore.

Looking at the dark tunnel again, Chang Suining couldn't help but conjecture when he thought of the sound of the institution being destroyed just now.

Could it be that someone broke in before her... and destroyed the eyes of the formation?

Array - already broken? !

When the arrow flew towards her just now, it can be seen that the mechanism at the entrance is still there, so it proves that no one has entered through this place. Then, someone broke in from another entrance?
Or did Wujue use some other method that she couldn't think of to temporarily stop the formation in the tower?
Or, besides Wujue, is there someone else helping her?
Chang Suining had countless guesses in her mind, but when she heard footsteps approaching, she immediately pressed the mechanism on the mural, and when the stone door was about to close, she did not forget to throw the arrow in her hand into it.

Then she jumped up, grabbed the colorful beam above, and used the prayer flags hanging from the beam to hide.

The person who came was Ming Luo.

She didn't call out, but only looked for it with her eyes, but Chang Suining knew very well that Ming Luo must be looking for her.

Before seeing Chang Suining here, Ming Luo quickly left here.

After people had gone a little further, Chang Suining jumped down from the beam and patted the dust on his hands.

The fact that Ming Luo was able to come to her after recovering himself meant that the fire should be under control.

There is a jade pond inside the pagoda, surrounded by water on three sides outside the pagoda, and the way to avoid fire must have been paid attention to when building the pagoda. In addition, the fire was discovered in time, so it is destined not to burn too much.

Chang Sui Ning didn't even think about burning the tower, it was just to create chaos.

At the end of this chaos, Chang Suining found a window and turned out.

As expected, she was quickly "discovered" by the servants guarding outside the tower.

When Ming Luo stepped out from the tower, he saw Chang Sui Ning covering his face and coughing, as if he had been choked by fire smoke.

She tentatively asked: "Where did Mrs. Chang come from?"

Even though the tower fell into chaos due to the fire, the servants who were ordered to guard outside the tower gate did not leave.

The girl coughed and her voice became a little hoarse: "The one who came out through the nearest window, if you don't come out, you are waiting to be choked to death."

The monk on the side recited Amitabha.

The tower was on fire, and everyone was busy fighting the fire, but the benefactor was going to escape alone, saying so confidently.

Ming Luo looked at the girl and said: "The fire has been extinguished, Mrs. Chang will follow me back."

Chang Suining: "Don't worry, wait until the fire smoke clears."

Ming Luo frowned slightly, but didn't say any more, and just stood outside the tower gate with Chang Suining.

Anyway, as long as she entered the pagoda courtyard, she would be within the formation, and as long as she watched Chang Sui Ning not to leave this courtyard, it would not be considered a dereliction of duty.

The servants and monks quickly carried out the burned things, took water to wipe and cleaned up the burnt marks in the pagoda, but fortunately the burned things were all scriptures, prayer flags and the like.

Seeing that no major trouble had been caused, Ming Luo then ordered people to report the news to the Holy Book Emperor, and told everyone not to say a word about the fire in the Tiannv Pagoda.

The monks and servants all agree.

Today the sage was praying in the pagoda, but there was a fire at such a juncture, and if it was spread out, it would definitely attract countless speculations and criticisms.

The monks who came to deliver the vegetarian meal walked into the pagoda courtyard, holding two food boxes in their hands.

"Thank you little master, please put my food here." Chang Suining pointed to the stone table in the courtyard.

Ming Luo, who was still arranging follow-up matters, turned to look at her upon hearing this.

"I can't afford to be hungry, and my mood will get worse if I am a little hungry, so I don't wait for the female Shi of Ming Dynasty to eat together."

Chang Suining walked towards the stone table while he was speaking.

There was a hint of thought in Ming Luo's eyes.

Will my complexion get worse when I'm a little hungry?

She thought of the slightly whitish lips when the girl in the tower approached her just now.

Ming Luo quietly looked at the girl who never seemed to understand women's words and manners. After helping the monk set up the fast meal together, he picked up the rice and picked up the chopsticks to eat, and quickly put a bowl of rice and two plates Vegetarian dishes are eaten cleanly.

After putting down the bowls and chopsticks, he turned around and went to the wooden barrel beside him to get water to wash his hands.

With his back to the rest of the crowd, Chang Suining spread out his palms and looked at the black stone to pull his fingers.

This was secretly given to her by the monk who delivered the vegetarian meal just now when he was preparing the meal with her.

Did Wujue send someone to send it to her after Wujue found out that she didn't take it?

Realizing that Ming Luo was staring at him, Chang Suining took advantage of the movement of wiping his hands to put away his fingers.

Seeing Chang Suining returning to the pagoda by himself, Ming Luo's eyes became even more thoughtful.

The inside of the tower has been cleaned up, but the doors and windows are still wide open for ventilation, and the sky is already gloomy and windy, so the inside of the tower seems to have been washed by the coolness, and the warmth from the candles has been washed away.

Ming Luo entered the pagoda, and saw that the girl had fulfilled her promise to copy the scriptures after eating, she was sitting upright, and her expression was very serious.

Ming Luo walked over and sat down.

In the next half a day, it can be seen that the girl opposite her has no slack in the slightest. Except for occasionally getting up and stretching, the rest of the time is seriously copying scriptures.

When it was getting dark outside the window, another monk came to deliver the fast meal, so Chang Suining put down his pen.

Ming Luo also got up, and when passing by Chang Suining's case, he stopped and looked down, feeling ironic.

She said with a half-smile: "It seems that Mrs. Chang really likes Princess Chongyue's characters."

Chang Sui Ning, who had just taken two steps, didn't turn his head when he heard the words, and just said casually, "Don't you think Ming Nushi doesn't like it?"

Ming Luo sneered silently.

Although she felt that she couldn't see through the other party's real thoughts at this time, she didn't have to worry about other things. After a whole day today, there was indeed nothing unusual on the other side's surface worth mentioning, right?

Since there is no difference, then it is not.

If it's not, then it's best never to be.

After the fasting meal, Chang Suining pretended to burn a stick of incense in front of the goddess statue, and under the guidance of the monks, he went to rest in the solitary room in the pagoda.

This is the lodging place that was specially packed for her in the afternoon. During these three days "to show her sincerity in praying", she must stay in the pagoda for food and lodging, and she is not allowed to leave without authorization.

After Chang Sui Ning rested, Ming Luo left the Tiannv Pagoda.

She waited for a long time outside the study where the Holy Book Emperor temporarily handled political affairs, only to see the door of the study was opened, and a group of ministers came out in twos and threes.

Most of these officials' complexions were not very good, and it seemed that there should have been a quarrel.

Ming Luo was not in a hurry to pass it on to others, because there were still people in the study.

Emperor Shengji left Cui Jing alone to speak.

"This is a secret letter from Bingzhou in the afternoon... Cui Qing, let's take a look." Emperor Shengji's face was a little solemn: "I want to hear Cui Qing's opinion on this matter."

Bingzhou is where Cui Jing was led.

Cui Jing took the secret letter from the servant.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cui Jing just came out of the study.

Ming Luo stepped forward to salute him: "Governor Cui."

Cui Jing nodded with her.

"Those refugees from Daozhou, I don't know if they have been resettled properly, have they done anything to hurt others?" Ming Luo asked.

"It has been settled properly, and I have informed the saint." Cui Jing replied, but his feet did not stop.

Ming Luo pursed his lips slightly, and could only say: "Cui Dadu, go slowly."

Then she went to see the Holy Book Emperor.

The door of the study room was closed tightly, and Ming Luo reported to the Emperor Shengji the details of Chang Suining's actions in the tower today, except for the fact that the other party said that he would exchange secrets with her.

The Holy Book Emperor, who had never had a moment of rest all day and was overwhelmed by many urgent tasks, leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, making it impossible to see any emotions other than exhaustion.

Until, she asked: "...Why did the fire start? Have you found out?"

This question made Ming Luo silently nervous.

The survival instinct told her that she could not hide anything from her aunt, even if there was no evidence, she should express her guess for her aunt to distinguish.

Afterwards, she thought about it repeatedly. At that time, when Chang Suining approached her and said those words that made her lose her mind, she suddenly became angry... Isn't the timing too coincidental?
Sometimes, the word coincidence means many possibilities.

Should she say this that would stretch out many possible coincidences?

Just when Emperor Shengji opened his eyes and looked over, Ming Luo forced himself to gather his mind and knelt down.

　Before good night, I would like to recommend a warm old saying to everyone, Dong Wuyuan's "A Thousand Gold", I deliberately waited for the word count to be thicker before recommending it to everyone.
