Quiet courtyard, autumn afternoon.

Luo Bei was in deep thought, staring at the sundial in a daze. At this moment, his shadow was also cast on the sundial.

Where is the agency hiding?

When his shadow was about to float away from the sundial, Luo Bei suddenly noticed something strange. The top of the sundial was divided into old and new colors, and there was a hair-like gap.

Can it be opened from here?

Luo Bei lowered his head again, his eyes were burning, and he kept scanning the top of the sundial.

But since there is no handy tool in hand, it is difficult to pry it open.

impossible!
Every time the Holy Lotus Sect comes to a secret meeting, they have to pry it open?

That's not a waste of time.

But there is nothing special about this ordinary sundial.

It has no holes all over the body, and no movable hidden compartments.

Nothing but this conspicuous pointer.

etc!pointer?
It stands to reason that this featureless pointer will definitely fall off under my own [power to carry the tripod].

It doesn't move at all, isn't it for pulling out?Is it possible to press it in?

Test people's reverse thinking?

Luo Bei seemed to have grasped some important information, stretched out his right hand to hold the pointer tightly, and sent it down vigorously.

Click!

The sundial, which has been silent for a long time, has a sound.

"Haha! Sure enough." Luo Bei danced excitedly, but the pointer was sent in about an inch, and encountered resistance again, unable to move an inch.

its stuck.

What the hell?

Can a sundial made of a stone still rust?

Luo Bei's excited mood turned black again, but this time, the surface of the sundial changed, which instantly ignited his emotions.

When he found Maoshi's location, a small character appeared: "Shenglian was born, and the blue waves are thousands of miles away."

Luo Bei understood in an instant the attempt of the Holy Lotus Sect.

The Holy Lotus Sect regards the time when the lotus first blooms in May and June as the auspicious month.

Similarly, if the pointer corresponds to the Mao hour scale, it is also the time when the sun rises.

What a scene of "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun."!

After Luo Bei understood this, he subconsciously dragged the pointer to swing in the direction of Maoshi.

At this time, the stagnant pointer naturally fell to the position on the Mao hour line.

crunch.

There was a sound of floor rubbing in the hall behind Luo Bei.

He turned his head quickly, and saw that the large bluestone floor at the entrance of the hall had disappeared.

Sure enough, there are secrets hidden here.

Luo Bei got up in a leisurely manner, and walked towards the gap in the floor.

It turned out that the main hall in the courtyard was divided into upper and lower spaces.

It's like the first and second floors, except that the Holy Lotus Sect is hiding in the basement.

As Luo Bei walked to the entrance steps of the basement, his palms trembled slightly because the secret was about to be unraveled.

He wasn't sure if there was any sinister mechanism inside.

Although he has [power to carry a tripod], he is not invulnerable.

If there is any poisonous smoke and fog inside, I am not afraid.

But it would be hard to guard against an arrow shot in the back. After Luo Bei secretly made up his mind to go in, he had to be more cautious.

Luo Bei walked down the steps step by step, and as far as he could see, the basement was quite empty.

There is a sacred lotus platform with a height of one person, a fire is burning on the platform, and an incense table is placed horizontally under the lotus platform.

There are four futons in front of the incense table.

At this time, Luo Bei found that there were four stone pillars standing on each side of him, and the same lotus lampstand was hung on the eight stone pillars.

Therefore, the entire basement was brightly illuminated by the firelight of these lampstands.

That's it?

Luo Bei scratched his head in doubt, the altar of such a mysterious Holy Lotus Sect is so simple.

He continued to walk into the basement and kept looking around, worried that a person would suddenly appear in the shadow behind the stone pillar.

It wasn't until Luo Bei came to the incense table that he saw a row of storage cabinets behind the lotus table. Basically, there was a ceramic jar in each grid.

He really wanted to take it off to have a look, but he was afraid that something dangerous might be hidden inside.

Luo Bei walked over these jars and saw that there was a roster in the hidden compartment inside.

This is not the most important thing. What surprised Luo Bei the most was that there was a bamboo basket on the lower floor of the roster grid.

It turned out to be his stuff in the basket.

It should be said that Luo Bei collected gadgets for his third sister Luo Yingying from outside.

The Trojan Horse of South Vietnam, the Crescent Moon Knife of the Huns, and the Crossbow Arrows of the Qin Dynasty...

How come here?

Luo Bei recalled again, the eavesdropping sound outside the courtyard, combined with the Gu worms in today's jujube cake.

An answer appeared in his heart.

The leader of the Holy Lotus Sect is Luo Yingying!
No wonder I thought that majestic voice was very familiar at the beginning, but I couldn't remember it all at once.

Because Luo Yingying usually chats with Luo Bei in a cute and soft tone, and Luo Bei has never associated her with the Holy Lotus Sect.

Luo Bei naturally didn't think of her, and even today there was poison in the jujube cake, he subconsciously thought that the Holy Lotus Sect had captured Luo Yingying.

"Hehe! Good third sister, it's so miserable for you to be a brother."

Luo Bei was completely heartbroken, with mixed feelings, he always wanted to be ashamed of the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect.

But now that person turned out to be his sister!

He doesn't know what to do now.

kill her?

Let go of her?
Luo Bei couldn't even do it, and he walked out in a daze, disheartened.

He was going to Qi Fangdian, and he had to listen to Luo Yingying give him a reasonable explanation.

……

In Qi Fang Hall, Luo Yingying peeled a pomegranate, pinching a few with light-white fingers, but she didn't eat it, as if she was waiting for some news.

It stands to reason that if Luo Bei died, the whole palace would be in chaos now, and deacons and eunuchs would come to Qi Fangdian to deliver news.

None now, she doesn't know what happened.

No one can decipher the Gu worms in Miaojiang, if Luo Bei really ate the jujube cake, he would definitely react.

"Madam leader, Li Qinglian is here, saying she is here to apologize."

At this time, the voice of the eunuch guarding the gate came from outside the palace gate, interrupting Luo Yingying's thoughts.

"Good! Let her in."

Luo Yingying sat upright and looked out the door expectantly. She knew that Li Qinglian and Luo Bei were together, and she should be able to get the specific situation from Li Qinglian.

"Slaves pay homage to the leader's wife."

As soon as Li Qinglian entered the gate, she quickly knelt down in front of Luo Yingying.

"Get up? I thought Sister Lian was abducted by my brother."

Luo Yingying's soft tone made Li Qinglian tremble, she knew it too well.Every time Luo Yingying wanted to kill someone, she always used this tone.

"The leader is clearly aware that slaves have never betrayed the leader." Li Qinglian kowtowed in fear.

"Yo! My sister is really good. Then three believers died in Yalan Palace, and our teaching circle was exposed. It has nothing to do with you?"

Luo Yingying's tone softened a bit.

"I'm wronged. This is all a trick of the prince. He forged the token and killed the believers. As for the altar, he must have discovered it when he was invisible."

Li Qinglian seemed to think of this possibility and desperately explained.

"Sister, it's really a good way to hang the blame on the dead." The murderous intent in Luo Yingying's eyes quickly condensed into substance.

"Dead? No, that's why the slaves came here. The prince is immune to all poisons, and he has no reaction after eating the leader's jujube cake." Li Qinglian didn't dare to raise her head.

"what?"

Luo Yingying was startled.
