Xie Yingzhou originally wanted to catch a lone patrol guard at random, so that she could pretend to be, and then ostentatiously follow the others to catch the prisoner, and see if there is a chance to steal that Zi Weiyi.

But I didn't expect that from the beginning of the team tonight, to the plan to get rid of Yingda, to the sudden encounter with the belly-cutting devil in the Guozijian, every expected plot did not develop according to my imagination.

After she yelled for a while, she braved the heavy rain and ran in the opposite direction of the crime scene. She didn't know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky. During this journey, Xie Yingzhou didn't meet anyone.

Xie Yingzhou felt that she was so stupid. Really, she only knew that she was unlucky, but she never thought that she would be unlucky in every link. If she had such awareness, she shouldn't think about being able to fish in troubled waters, but simply ask for help. One day off, and then calmly sneaked into the Imperial College, stealing Zi Wei Taboo step by step.

The only good thing tonight is probably that I accidentally discovered that the treasure found in the "Book of Yu Maoyuan" can relieve the suppression of my spiritual energy.

"boom--"

After a flash of white light, there was another thunderstorm in the rainy sky. There is such a heavy thunderstorm in this season. It is so exaggerated that even ordinary people know that there must be something strange about this heavy rain.

Xie Yingzhou guessed that a certain monster in the imperial city was disrespectful to Cang Long, which made it fight. Although Cang Long looks like a "three-no loli", in fact, his personality is quite domineering.

Looking for a roof to shelter from the rain again, Xie Yingzhou looked at the dark rainy night outside. Too many things happened tonight, which finally made her feel a little bit down. She began to use spiritual energy to dry the drenched clothes, and behind her Under the eaves of the eaves, tree roots began to emerge silently from the cracks in the floor tiles. Under Xie Yingzhou's control, the roots twisted together and grew into a high wooden chair.

Xie Yingzhou waited for the wooden chair made of tree roots to take shape, sat down, looked at the pouring rain outside, and fell into deep thought.

Now there are two things in front of her, one is that Ziwei can't steal it, her first commission failed, and the main reason for the failure is the belly-cut demon who suddenly came out, obviously she wanted to use him to fish in troubled waters , I didn't expect to bump into them face to face, except for bad luck, there is no explanation...

Thinking of the words "bad luck", Xie Yingzhou was startled, and then carefully reviewed what happened to her after she came to Zhenyang, and found that many strange coincidences had happened to her.

The first coincidence is to pick up "Book of Yu Maoyuan", and the second coincidence is to encounter the scene of the harakiri twice in a row. This kind of coincidence is not normal, and I am not a character in the novel. Is there a pair of invisible hands that connect so many fateful coincidences to himself?

Xie Yingzhou's eyes became deep. Whether it's Changliu Zhufeng's PTSD or being cautious, she has to keep a low profile and find the root of this coincidence.

And speaking of her actions tonight, the second consequence is that as long as Xie Yingzhou still wants to stay in the court, she has to explain to Yingda that she was suddenly possessed by evil spirits and ran into the Imperial Prison.

Strictly speaking, apart from losing the 1000 taels of entrustment money tonight, Xie Yingzhou didn't have any other losses, but she just did some useless work.

Is it so difficult for other traversers?Or is it just so difficult for me?

Xie Yingzhou pursed her lips, took out the "Book of Yu Maoyuan" from the black ring, and reopened the chapter that recorded the internal circuit diagram of the Imperial College, there were two places marked for treasures, that is, the one with an X inside the circle There are two tags.

The thieves don't leave empty space, Xie Yingzhou thinks that they have come here, and they always want to steal something. As for the muddy water stirred up by the belly-cutting demon just now, she has already forgotten about it.

For things that have nothing to do with her, why does Xie Yingzhou care about the raging water and the raging water outside?

Of course, if she could be in another environment where her identity as an officer of the Forensic Court would not be exposed, she wouldn't mind fighting the belly-cut demon and using his head to fill her dwindling purse.

It's just that tonight is really not a good time. There is a seppuku demon in front of him, and Ying Da who is following him later, and the latter is an existence that needs more attention for Xie Yingzhou.

After confirming the location of the "treasure" of the Imperial College, Xie Yingzhou put away the "Book of Yu Maoyuan" and got up and walked to the destination. This time she learned to be smart and used the secret boundary to block the heavy rain. People who practice spiritual energy.

God is sorry to see that Xie Yingzhou did not encounter any accidents this time. She successfully arrived at the Library Pavilion of the Imperial College, and she also found out that there was no person who practiced spiritual energy here, only the breath of an ordinary person. I don't care much.

Originally, she wanted to pry open the side door of Zangshu Pavilion and sneak in, but found that the door was only ajar, so Xie Yingzhou "followed the goodness" and walked in directly through the door.

This is a three-story book collection pavilion. The first floor is dark and dull. As soon as Xie Yingzhou entered, she smelled a faint fragrance of brush and ink mixed with sandalwood. She couldn't help but took a deep breath, and then looked around carefully.

The ceiling on the first floor is higher than that of ordinary houses, and the walls are densely packed with various books. There are four elevated guns on the four walls for holding books. Looking from the winding stairs on the second floor to the north.

There was a faint ray of candlelight leaking from above. Obviously, in this thunderstorm late at night, someone was still studying hard in the Library Pavilion, and the commotion outside did not disturb the other party.

Stepping up the stairs silently, Xie Yingzhou thought about knocking the other party out first, and then calmly searched for the treasure.

When she reached the second floor, she soon saw a thin and old figure on a small platform behind several bookshelves.

It was a 70-year-old female scholar with whirling white hair. Her long hair was pulled up and neatly coiled behind her. She was wearing a dark gray robe, sitting upright, kneeling on a futon, and in front of her, posing There was a low wooden table with an oil lamp on it, and a square chessboard on which more than a hundred black and white chess pieces had been placed.

At this time, the old man had his hands in his sleeves and was looking at the chessboard intently, as if he was thinking about where to play next.

Xie Tingshu.

Seeing the peaceful scene in front of her, the name of the old man immediately appeared in Xie Yingzhou's mind. Her gaze gradually moved upwards, and she saw many large and small calligraphy and painting works hanging on the wall behind Xie Tingshu. The calligraphy on the brush is written as a gift to the master, and the text is a poem: the void has no place, it seems like glass. (Note 1)

And at the corner of the poem, there are three names written: Maochu, Maochen, and Maoyuan.

When Xie Yingzhou saw that line of the poem, her heart skipped a beat. She then glanced at the old man watching chess with the lights on in the night rain, and a strong sense of resistance surged in her heart. The old man in front of him did something disrespectful.

Grabbing her arm hard, Xie Yingzhou felt that she was in a dilemma for a moment. She slowly leaned against the bookshelf, enduring a feeling of being close to home and feeling of being wronged and yearning. Afterwards, this body reacted so suddenly for the first time.

Just because I saw the old man, I don't need to think about it. This old man named Xie Tingshu has a huge influence on Yin Ya, and it is engraved in her body. If Xie Yingzhou reluctantly uses his will to reverse it This feeling is not impossible, but is it necessary?

The other party is just a tireless ordinary scholar who has not cultivated aura and is already so old. Is it really necessary for him to knock her out and then go search for the "treasure"?

After weighing it up, Xie Yingzhou suddenly had another idea.

And as she made up her mind, she was covered with a veil, and soon she returned to her original face, which had been eroded by the bird spirit of Bailin and experienced the growth of this period of time, although it was still as delicate as ever. Peerless, but the eyes are no longer what they used to be.

Anyway, it was already very unlucky, Xie Yingzhou had the right to take another gamble and face Xie Tingshu with the most authentic face.

Standing straight and tidying up her clothes, Xie Yingzhou deliberately made footsteps on the wooden floor and walked towards Xie Tingshu.

"Take off your shoes." Xie Yingzhou hadn't approached yet, and Xie Tingshu didn't raise his head, but he heard footsteps and immediately reminded him.

"Oh." Xie Yingzhou responded with some unease, bent down and took off her boots, then put them aside neatly, raised her head after finishing it, and found that Xie Tingshu was also looking at her.

"...Master." Xie Yingzhou was stunned for a moment, and according to what Qin Yue taught before, she saluted Xie Tingshu who was still sitting upright.

"...Mao Yuan?" Xie Tingshu seemed to be a little presbyopic, and after careful identification, she stretched her brows and eyes, showing a gentle smile, "You have grown taller..."

Xie Yingzhou frowned slightly, feeling a sense of grievance welling up in her heart, she didn't know what to say for a moment, she just bit her lip and nodded.

"Come." Xie Tingshu didn't put on any airs, she straightened up when she was kneeling, and beckoned Xie Yingzhou to sit beside her.

"Yes." Xie Yingzhou looked at her nose and heart, walked over obediently, and wanted to sit opposite Xie Tingshu.

"Sit next to me, I haven't seen you for a long time as a teacher."

Xie Yingzhou nodded, walked slowly to Xie Tingshu's side, and obediently imitated Xie Tingshu and sat down on his knees.

Xie Tingshu immediately took Xie Yingzhou's hand, looked at Xie Yingzhou carefully again, and then asked, "Where have you been these few years? Why did your hair become like this?"

"No, I was accidentally infected by the evil spirit of a monster." Although he was old, Xie Tingshu's hands were very dry and warm. In such a cold rainy night, Xie Yingzhou was so nervous that he was sweating a little.

Because she was stealing a share of the love that should have belonged to Yin Ya, stealing a share of love that belonged to Yin Ya.

These feelings and care have always been what Xie Yingzhou disdains the most. After transmigrating, she disdains any feelings towards her from Chang Yinya's family, and disdains the affectionate devotion of the teenagers in gray clothes to her. Knowing that she has lost her memory, but now she is actually stealing the old lady's love for Yin Ya...

And Xie Yingzhou couldn't tell the lie that she lost her memory, she just felt ashamed and sweated profusely.

It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to actually do it.

"So careless? Maybe your brother hasn't been here for a long time, did he also go touring the rivers and lakes?"

"I don't know." Xie Yingzhou shook her head stiffly, not understanding why all her supernatural powers seemed to be lost in front of this amiable old lady.

"Then where has Maoyuan been these past few years?" Xie Tingshu raised his hand to let Xie Yingzhou sit opposite him, and then began to scramble and separate the pieces on the chessboard. Seeing her move, Xie Yingzhou quickly sat opposite and helped The opponent receives the pieces.

"I have been to many places, and I have met many wonderful people." Xie Yingzhou answered Xie Tingshu's question honestly, Ye Wujian, Qin Yue, Ji Qinglan, Wu Yuan and his wife, Li Yingwu and so on flashed through his mind at the same time people.

"It has grown a lot." Xie Tingshu reached out and touched Xie Yingzhou's head, his wise and deep eyes were filled with a kind smile.

Xie Yingzhou suddenly didn't know what to say. Some probing questions came to her mouth, but she couldn't speak. She just muttered, and finally asked, "How has Master been in these past few years?"

"Okay," Xie Tingshu nodded, "It's just a thunderstorm tonight, and I can't sleep well, so I got up to play chess. Our master and apprentice haven't played for a long time, how about a game?"

I don't know... Xie Yingzhou wanted to say this, but after all, she didn't know if the real Yin Ya would, so she didn't dare to say it rashly, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

Naturally, Xie Tingshu didn't really want to fight with her on the chessboard, so the two chatted about the interesting things Xie Yingzhou encountered while they were making a son. Xie Yingzhou wanted to spy on some information, but she hadn't opened her mouth yet. Xie Tingshu in the chat Just said it.

Including Yin Ya's character is Mao Yuan, and Yin Ya's elder brother Yin Li's character is Mao Chu, they also have a senior brother named Jiang Zhu, whose character is Mao Chen, who is currently an assistant teacher of the Imperial College, etc.

It's just that Xie Yingzhou's level is too poor, and Xie Tingshu suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, tears were about to come out, "Sure enough, it's still a stinky chess basket. Why hasn't there been any improvement after such a long time?"

Xie Yingzhou was still holding a chess piece in her hand, and was thinking about where she could play. Seeing that the master suddenly laughed heartily, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and she also laughed. In the candlelight, there were tears in her eyes, as if she had been away for a long time. Reunion, old friends meet.

The sound of rain outside gradually subsided.
