Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

In other words, Chu Hong and Wu Mu visited the Ministry of Officials. Although they did not find any real historical materials, they were similar. There must be unexpected things in the black cabinet.After returning to the Huguo Temple and knowing that Kong had gone to the palace, Chu Hong lay down in the Zen room by herself, closed her eyes and meditated. The faint sandalwood was the smell of Kong.The corners of Chu Hong's lips curled up. She never thought that one day he would sleep in Monk Kong's meditation room and share the same bed.

He didn't like the smell of temples very much before, but here in Liaokong somehow made him feel calm.Thinking about the resistance against Liao Kong at the beginning, and then gradually softening without trace, even he himself couldn't believe that a person like Liao Kong actually acquiesced in his strong stay!Thinking of taking a deep breath, the faint sandalwood smell is very delicious, and the smile on the corner of the mouth is even stronger.

When Liaokong returned to the monastery and the meditation room, he saw Chu Hong who was fast asleep on the bed.Liao Kong stood quietly in front of the bed and looked at the person who was breathing evenly. The red-hot color of the birthmark on his forehead was like the imprint drawn by the blood flowing under the thin skin, and he was born with this person.Liao Kong frowned. He didn't know why every time he looked at Chu Hong's birthmark, he felt upset and out of breath, and the thumping of his chest made him very uneasy.In the end is why!He seems to have forgotten something, and the memory seems to be covered with a layer of veil, which seems to be vague and unreal.He wondered if he had forgotten some memories, and now these memories are slowly being awakened again.Like a thread, wait until the day when everything is clear.

But vaguely, that memory must be painful!I don't know how long it has passed, and Kong looks back, turns and walks away.Slowly untied the white cassock on his body, folded it and put it in the cabinet.Next to the white cassock was a brand new red cassock, and Liao Kong looked at it in a daze.It wasn't until Chu Hong turned slightly on the bed that he came back to his senses and closed the cabinet.

When Chu Hong woke up, Liaokong was sitting on the futon and chanting sutras, spinning the beads in his hands quickly.Chu Hong sat on the edge of the bed and watched quietly without saying a word.It was the first time for Chu Hong to observe Kong so seriously, and she was surprised to find that the curvature of Kong's bald head was so perfect.Slowly extending from the top of the head to the back of the head is like the half-moon arc when the moon is waning.It continued to extend down, and was hidden in the blue-gray Haiqing's collar. The color became extremely light, and there was a kind of magical power that made people think about it.The arc under the clear sea may be even more beautiful!

Perhaps because he couldn't stand Chu Hong's fiery gaze, he stopped for a while and looked over, his expression very ugly. "The pure land of Buddhism, if the prince still has fewer thoughts in his heart, it is also a blessing to read the scriptures without anything to do.".Chu Hong grinned.It was a rare time not to confront Liao Kong: "What the elder said is true!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to face him, picked up the teapot at the side, and poured a cup of tea. When he woke up, his mouth was dry and he drank two cups before he could drink it. Quenches a lot of thirst.Although Liaokong stopped chanting sutras, he did not stop turning the beads in his hands.

Chu looked at him and said: "I always feel that I have known you for a long time, and I have a familiar feeling."He gave him an empty-handed meal and didn't respond much.Chu Hong leaned against the table, raised her arms casually, and looked slightly sideways, "Why do you want to be a monk? I remember the first time I saw you. You were only twelve or thirteen years old, but you didn't look like you just became a monk. Why? Ordained at a young age?"

His voice is gentle, like a trickling stream flowing down the mountain along with the roots of the mountain.Or being drawn by his voice, Li Kong raised his head to look at him, and their eyes met.Chu Hong seemed to hear the sound of a wooden fish, and kept it in her mind.Liao Kong has him in his eyes!Spinning started, looking away.He said softly: "I don't know. I have been in the temple since I knew the world.".

Liaokong didn't lie, he didn't know how he became a monk, and the various situations before he became a monk, he didn't ask the master about all these.He has never doubted whether he is a monk or not. In his mind, he should be in the temple, and only the temple gives him a sense of belonging. Maybe this is home.

On the day when he was 13 years old, a distinguished donor came to the temple.The master went to meet him, it was the imperial concubine who came from the palace, and there was a child with her, he was the three-year-old Chu Hong, the eldest prince of the Chu Kingdom.At that time, he didn't have a good impression of the arrogant eldest prince.The master talked to the imperial concubine, and the content was about the eldest prince.I heard from the master that the sign of the birth of the eldest prince is extremely prosperous, and it is a sign of wealth and auspiciousness.But the phenomenon of double rainbows in the sky is really rare, and because not only double rainbows appeared that day, but there were also many dark clouds around the double rainbows in the sky, which were thick and lingering.It is a sign of coexistence of auspiciousness and misfortune, and there will definitely be disasters in the future, but it is impossible to calculate what the disaster is and when it will be.

Later, His Majesty found them and told him something about himself, and after Chu Hong went to the battlefield, news of his death came.He thought this was the catastrophe, but Chu Hong appeared again, and he remembered what His Majesty said.Could Chu Hong be that person? If he didn't die on the battlefield, would the subsequent development really be like that?Liao Kong turned his head and looked at Chu Hong intently. Chu Hong felt that Li Kong was looking at him strangely, and asked, "What's wrong?".Liao Kong met his gaze and said, "Do you believe what the devil said?".Chu Hong was puzzled, and chuckled, "Why do you ask this, the magic way is nothing but strange powers and chaos.".Liao Kong put his body down slightly and didn't look at him, "The prince doesn't believe in Buddhism?!".Chu Hong knew that he was angry, and it was his fault. How could you say that you don't believe in gods and Buddhas in front of monks, isn't it just talking about having a son in front of eunuchs!Resentful, he stopped talking, seeing that it was getting dark outside, and it was time to go out. "I'm going out.".

Chu Hong left, leaving Kong Kong to meditate for a long time in the meditation room.

In the night sky, two black figures swiftly flew into the official department, and with the daytime exploration, the evening operation went much smoother.Wu Mu fiddled with the door of the official scroll room for a while and then opened it, "Master, it's all right.".Chu Hong stepped in, and Wu Mu followed closely behind and gently closed the door.Blowing on the fire folder in his hand, the two of them came to the black cabinet they saw during the day under the faint light of the fire. All of them, as expected of being a locksmith, Chu Hong thought to himself.The lock on the inside was more difficult to get than the one on the outside, and Itsuki took a lot of effort to open it.During this period, a group of soldiers who were watching the night passed by, and quickly extinguished the fire.When I opened the cabinet, there was nothing in it, and I couldn't see what was there.Stretching in and touching it, Chu Hong couldn't help being shocked.It turned out to be empty!He felt an iron object in his hand and took it out to see that it was a key.A big cabinet just to store a key? !At this time, a team of soldiers who were watching the night passed by outside again. After thinking about it, Chu Hong still didn't take the key away in the end.I don't know where it's going to be used, and it's useless to take it.Thinking of what his grandfather Liang Shimin once told him, Chu Hong changed his mind.After gently locking the cabinet, the two quickly left before the night patrolling soldiers came.

Chu Hong did not return to the Huguo Temple after leaving the official department, but went all the way to the west of the city.Wumu was puzzled and asked, "Master, where are we going?".Chu Hong: "The White House."Wu Mu thought, Baifu?Come to Bai Qien's house, it's in the west of the city.When he came to the White Mansion, Wu Mu knew that this White Mansion was not that White Mansion.Chu Hong stepped forward to knock on the door herself, and the door opened soon, and a bystander looked at them, "Who are you looking for?".Chu Hong: "We have something important to ask Mr. Bai, please inform me."

The old man saw that there were only the two of them and let them in. "Master is in the study. Master came back for dinner today. After dinner, master said to see how your master is writing. If you come later, you won't be able to meet him. When you get old, you sleep early and wake up early." The old man said. Talking to himself, he didn't mind the identities of the two of them.He didn't ask them to wait in the lobby, so he went directly to the study to get them.Chu Hong remembered that her grandfather said: The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials is my old friend for many years. If you want to know anything, you may as well ask him.However, Bai Zhong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, lost his wife in his early years and never married.Opening the door of the study with a puzzled mood, the old man shouted loudly: "Master, there are two younger generations looking for you.".I stopped inside for a while, and said come in.

Chu Hong and Wu Mu went in and saw Bai Zhongyi and another young man, it was Bai Qien.It was also very strange for Bai Qien to see the two of them. "Prince? Visiting late at night, what's the matter?"Chu Hong stepped forward and said to Bai Zhongyi: "Old Bai, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night.".Bai Zhongyi's eyes were a bit bad, so he squinted his eyes and looked at him, "So it's the prince, it's good that he's not dead. What do you want to ask? I have less people here, more people will be more lively."Bai Qien got up, "Grandpa, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." Bai Zhong also nodded.After Bai Qien left, Chu Hong said, "Grandpa once told me when he was still alive that you can come and ask Mr. Bai if you don't understand anything, so I came to ask you if this imperial official record is in the Ministry of Officials, where is it?" .

Bai Zhong also stroked his white beard, "Shimin has gone, and I haven't seen him for a while. The imperial official records are not far from the official department, but in the palace. The prince knows that there is a library in the palace, and it is in the palace. There. But the key is in the Ministry of Officials, take the key and go to the Library Pavilion to open the secret door and you will see."Chu Hong nodded, that's why. "Excuse me, goodbye."

With that said, the two left the White House.

On the way back to Huguo Temple, Chu Hong kept thinking. It turned out that there was still that in the library in the palace. No wonder only the emperor could enter it.Thinking about it, Chu Xiaotian didn't let them get close to Zangshu Pavilion since he was a child, and even set up heavy guards, so it turned out that they were guarding the secret history of the royal family!

It seems that it is inevitable to return to the palace, which is also good, just go and see what that person looks like now!
