Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Zhao Ran replied, "Did you also hear that line of Mrs. Li's poem just now?"

"Words are like the thin moon shining in the shadows, and the lonely temple in the light scenery is cold and autumn. The sky is blue and the book is clever, and the light water is rafting and the clouds are quiet." Wen Zhigeng repeated it, and he said it verbatim, "What clues?" ?”

"Master Wen has a good memory, and he is really good at listening to corners." Zhao Ran clicked his tongue, and said before Wen Zhigeng turned his face: "This is the first palindrome poem."

"Palindromic poem!" Wen Zhigeng frowned, and this poem could indeed be read backwards.

The cloudy boat floats lightly,

The clever mirror and the book dazzle the blue sky.

Autumn returns to the cold temple and the lonely scenery is light,

Taking photos according to the moon is as thin as words

"The artistic conception is similar, what's so special?" Wen Zhigeng asked.

Zhao Ran rolled his eyes at him: "Turn Yuan Zhou upside down, that's the word "Zhou Yuan"."

"Then..." Wen Zhigeng was still puzzled.

"Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan refer to a corridor or a certain courtyard, and this courtyard has water, sky, Buddha, and boats."

"The corridor outside the Buddhist hall!" Wen Zhigeng immediately came to his senses, dragged Zhaoran out of the bell tower, there were not a few guards left outside, and when he saw Wen Zhigeng, he hurried over to salute.

Wen Zhigeng waved his hand and said, "All enter the bell tower."

After everyone entered the bell tower, he dragged Zhao Ran down to the corridor. Standing on the corridor, they could see the small pond in the corridor. It was already severe winter, and the lotus plants in the pond did not grow. The pond was so clean that it looked like a mirror. Reflecting the starlight in the sky at this time.

There is a small stone boat in the pond, about two feet wide, with a lamp base on the boat. I think it is used to illuminate the lotus in summer night. Imagine a little candle lamp, the pond is full of lotus light, and sitting on the porch to enjoy the moon and taste the lotus. Freehand.

It was probably too beautiful, so although Mrs. Li had great ambitions, she was still like this stone boat, which was intangible but unable to move an inch.

Wen Zhigeng said: "Go down."

Zhao Ran said angrily, "Why do you want me to go down!"

Wen Zhigeng sneered and said, "I'm an official and you are a citizen. Do you want me to go down?"

"My lord is a man!" Zhao Ran said confidently.

Wen Zhigeng pinched his neck with cold hands and said, "Are you going down by yourself, or I will push you down."

Zhao Ran had no choice but to say, "Go find a lantern."

"Looking for a lantern?"

Zhao Ran said angrily, "Since it's taking pictures to illuminate the moon, it must be a place where the lights can shine."

Originally, he wanted Wen Zhigeng to touch the pond all over the pond, but now he changed himself, so naturally he wanted to know something interesting in such a cold weather, Wen Zhigeng took off the porch lamp above his head and handed it to Zhaoran with a flint.

Zhaoran waded through the water and put the lantern on the lamp base of the stone boat, and touched carefully along the circle of light that the light emitted, Wen Zhigeng said: "How is it?"

"Ah!" Zhaoran said suddenly, "Slid down, slipped down!"

"What slipped down!"

Zhao Ran was still bending over and yelling to himself, Wen Zhigeng jumped down from the corridor in desperation, even though he had internal energy to protect himself, the icy water in the pond still made him shudder all over.

"Why did Mr. Wen come down?" Zhao Ran looked confused, Wen Zhigeng saw that he was holding a stone box in his hand, for a moment he couldn't tell whether this person did it on purpose or not, so he could only sneer With a sound, Teng threw Zhaoran back into the corridor, pointed at the stone box and said, "Open it!"

"Find me some clothes!" Zhao Ran said with his teeth chattering.

Wen Zhigeng saw that he "looks like you won't change my clothes, and I won't open the box for you even if I die", so he held his breath and lifted him up and down a few times to find Mrs. Li's bedroom, and rummaged inside. A piece of clothing came out and handed to Zhaoran, but Zhaoran shook his head: "It's not good-looking."

"Which one? My patience is limited!" Wen Zhigeng said while touching the hilt of his sword.

Zhao Ran pointed: "I want that one."

When Wen Zhigeng turned around, he found that it was a costume that Mrs. Li had hung in the cabinet. It was red and green. He sneered, walked over, took off the clothes and threw them to Zhaoran: "Hurry up and change."

"I'm going to change in the room!"

Wen Zhigeng said with a heavy face, "Change here."

"I am different from adults and men and women!" Zhao Ran looked like a chaste woman, Wen Zhigeng was so angry that he narrowed his eyes and thought that it would be better to strangle this woman, and finally squeezed out through his teeth. One sentence: "Leave the stone box!"

Zhao Ran dawdled in it, and finally came out before Wen Zhigeng was completely angry. Seeing that he had combed his hair again, Wen Zhigeng couldn't help snorting coldly.

Zhaoran picked up the stone box and opened it, Wen Zhigeng backed up almost instantly, but he didn't see any movement, Zhaoran turned his head and said: "Listen to the string songs to know the elegant meaning, Mrs. Li's poems have the meaning of escaping from the world , how could you hide something hurtful in the stone box?"

Wen Zhigeng couldn't help but feel sour at the root of his teeth for a while with the expression of you looking at the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but Zhao Ran didn't pay attention to him, but looked straight at the stone box.

Wen Zhigeng stepped forward and saw that inside the box was a human figurine tightly bound with ribbons. When he disassembled the figurine, inside was a well-made jade doll with exquisite features and all kinds of organs on his body.

"What the hell is this?" Zhao Ran turned over and looked carefully but found nothing, so he threw it to Wen Zhigeng and said, "Ah, such a thing, our girl's house doesn't look good."

Wen Zhigeng was already a little angry to immobilize him, holding the idol in his hand, he seemed thoughtful, and asked plainly, "Could it be that you saw something?"

"Do I see what I need to tell you, an ignorant little man?" Wen Zhigeng sneered back with a sneer.

He originally wanted to whet Zhao Ran's appetite, but Zhao Ran didn't care about it at all, he spread his hands and said, "It's fine if you don't tell me, but then I won't have anything to do with you."

Wen Zhigeng took a deep breath: "Have you ever heard of King Mu of Zhou's attack on the Rong?"

Zhao Ran said: "What does it have to do with this figurine?"

"It is recorded in the historical records of the Western Zhou Dynasty that King Mu passed through Tianzhu after his crusade against Wanrong, passed through Dashi, and went to the west of Chishui. I heard that there is a piece of red sea and red river in their place, and after the death of the royal family there, people were tightly bound in ribbons to make this kind of figurines."

Zhao Ran: "You mean this figurine with ribbons came from a certain Zhou tomb?"

There was a flash of light in Wen Zhigeng's eyes, he put the doll backhandedly into his pocket, and put it away together with the ribbon stone box, obviously wanted to take a second look, but in the end he took it away, he couldn't help feeling a little bit speechless.

"Come with me." Wen Zhigeng put away his things and looked him up and down.

Zhao Ran grinned and said: "I don't come back now, I'm afraid someone will come to look for me in the Prince Consort's House."

Wen Zhigeng sneered: "Could it be that you still want to go back to the consort's mansion, maybe I went early last time, I'm afraid the princess' knife would have been on your neck long ago."

Zhao Ran was full of loyalty and delay: "I am the son-in-law's man, the princess is trying to kill me for no reason, and the son-in-law is the master for me!"

As soon as his words fell, he heard someone say in a deep voice: "Exactly."

Wang Zeng walked over from the depths of the corridor, his legs and feet were a bit inconvenient, and he still needed the help of the guards around him: "I heard that the walking corpses have been eliminated, but I don't know why the people in my house are still stranded here .”

Wen Zhigeng glanced at Zhaoran for a few times, but he didn't say anything, and said calmly: "I was about to send the servant girl from the son-in-law's mansion back. Now that the son-in-law has come, the official will be fine."

Seeing Wen Zhigeng's back disappear, Wang Zengcai said, "Let's go."

----

After arriving outside Li's residence, Zhao Ran realized that Wang Zeng had not only brought a few guards, but almost all the guards accompanying him.

Wang Zeng took Zhaoran into the carriage and asked, "Just now... what did you say to Wen Zhigeng?"

Clearly said: "I found a jade figurine hidden by Mrs. Li."

Wang Zeng asked again in detail, repeatedly asked, and almost cleared up all the answers between Zhaoran and Wen Zhigeng, and then glanced at Zhaoran: "A palindrome can remind you of such a Duo, you are very good at solving puzzles."

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Master Li is still thinking about that poem after death, there must be something strange about it, but I don't know why Mrs. Li hides a jade figurine in the stone box. What does this figurine have to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li?" such a connection."

Wang Zeng said: "There are too many amazing things in this world, but not all of them are suitable for knowing the answer."

Zhao Ran smiled and blinked, opened the curtains of the car, Wang Zeng asked, "What are you looking at? Everyone in No Light Alley is dead, what else is there to see?"

"Look at the sunrise. When people die, the lights go out. Fate and fate are the same as the sunrise. They are eternal." Zhao Ran looked out the window and said, suddenly there was a tight rope around his neck.

Wang Zeng said behind his back: "You really shouldn't expose Jiashan. If you are smarter, you should pretend that you don't know about it. Jiashan and I are already husband and wife. We are both prosperous and wealy. Things are enough for the entire Wuhou Mansion to die together several times, so you have to die!"

He jerked the rope back: "I don't do this with others, just to owe you, remember to come and ask me in the next life!"

After a while, his hand loosened and he fell limply on his body, the carriage stopped slowly, and a guard outside said: "Young Lord, the place is here."

Wang Zeng carried Zhaoran out, and the guard stretched out his hand to pick it up, but he shook his head, looked at the tomb that had been dug, put Zhaoran into the coffin himself, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, stood at the grave and looked into the coffin He clearly said: "Remember to come and collect the debt from me!"

Then he turned around and said, "Close the coffin!"

After returning to the mansion, the guard asked in a low voice, "Do you still need to check Miss Ru's background?"

"No need."

"The princess..."

"Stupid woman, get rid of the people around her, replace the concierge with people from Marquis Wu's mansion, strictly forbid her to go out, let her settle down recently." Wang Zeng waved his hand a little tiredly.

"Little Marquis..."

"What else?"

"This is the peacock warm jade box you ordered me to get from Miss Ru." The guard handed over the box in his hand, Wang Zeng took the box and said: "In addition..."

"What else can I say together, what can I hesitate to say."

"Before that girl left yesterday, the kitchen made a lot of ham knuckles and sent them to her room. What should I... how to deal with."

"Ham elbow..." Wang Zeng smiled, "Let's put it all in front of her grave."

He reached out his hand to touch the box, opened it casually, but found a note in the empty box, he quickly picked up the note, and saw that it said: Kill Jiang Lanyi for me.

The snow fell in the night, and it spewed out in one breath, and the white mist filled the air. Wang Zeng seemed to still hear him say in his ear: "In the future, if I want to think of what I want the son-in-law to do, I will write a note and put it in this box. When the son-in-law arrives If you accept this note at that time, we will settle the matter."

----

Wen Zhigeng in the mountains was sitting in front of the horse, and a fast horse galloped towards him. The Jinyi school guard on the horse said, "My lord, the people from the son-in-law's mansion have just abducted to the first cemetery."

"So fast... stupid woman." Wen Zhigeng said after being silent for a while, took a deep breath and asked, "Any news about the dog slave?"

Jin Yiwei paused and said: "My lord, there are fragments of Mr. Gou's clothes on the cliff ahead, but... no trace of him has been found yet."

Wen Zhigeng turned his horse's head and said coldly: "Forget it, go back to Beijing first!"
