The Lord who use immortals as food
Chapter 587 Cold Palace Cold Grass
Pei Ye held the case file in a daze for a long time. He looked at the case file and saw an old wax seal on the seal, which seemed to have never been opened. The four characters printed on it were [see not hear].
"When the case was later opened, the copied case files were used, and some sentences that were inconvenient for people to know were hidden." Li Xizhou said, "This is the original file of that year. At that time, there were many people in Shenjing who later became famous. Yue Muzhou became the most prominent Hejian. People said that he would be able to take over the position of the head of the platform; Ying Suyu, who was just 20 years old, came to Shenjing and resigned from the title of Princess by the saint, saying that he was willing to be the head of Shenxiao for life..."
The woman gathered her sleeves and looked at the gray sky: "It's all over."
She walked down the pavilion: "Mingyue Palace is there, you can go and have a look. I'll go back to Zhujing Palace first."
After saying that, she left, without any carriage, and the red dress gradually walked away in the wind.
Pei Ye looked down at the case file in his hand, tightened his robe, and walked westward along the south of Taiye Lake.
It was a cold and snowy day, with forests and pavilions, and the golden light of the morning sun was floating on the ice. The eunuchs and maids walked through the field of vision in groups of three or five in an orderly manner, and their clothes were all quaint.
It was at this time that Pei Ye felt very clearly that he was in the palace - even if there was no one guarding in the field of vision, those figures were still very polite, their heads were always half lowered or just looking at what they were doing, as if they were integrated into this quiet and elegant environment.
Pei Ye, who stood up with his sword, did feel like an alien standing here.
It took two quarters of an hour to walk around the big pond on the snow. He met many eunuchs wearing hats and sweeping snow by the lake, but when he really approached the palace, there was no one around.
Seeing him walking in this direction, one eunuch seemed to be stunned and wanted to raise his hand to remind him, but was immediately stopped by his companion and lowered his head.
"That's... the people over there... didn't you see them in the pavilion just now..."
The whispers behind him faded away, and Pei Ye stepped into the desolate woods. The new snow buried the old snow, and the bushes were overgrown. A small path was vaguely discernible. He also took one deep step and one shallow step. After trudging for quite a while, there was only his own light breathing in the forest, and this huge and cold old palace appeared in front of him.
The delicate vermilion wall skin was withered and faded, covered with dust, like a girl's tender skin being eaten away by time and cracked and mottled. Pei Ye came to the door, and there were still some traces of seals on it. A heavy rusty lock fell here.
The palace was not open to the spirits, and there was no ban here. The true energy could not pass in to trigger the spring. This iron lock could only be cut off by brute force. Pei Ye raised his head, pulled up his body, and flipped in the air with the eaves.
Mingyue Palace
Three silver characters were written vertically on the blue plaque, and they could be faintly identified. Red wood, green tiles, jade palace, silver palace, even though they were old and withered, one could still see how beautiful and elegant this palace was in the past.
Pei Ye stood in the courtyard in front of the palace, the stone path was covered by grass and snow, he looked around, the first feeling was cleanliness. A quiet and elegant courtyard, a single-family palace, no more extra furnishings, in fact, it was not worthy of the grandeur and majesty of the dynasty.
The second feeling was coldness.
Perhaps it was because of the silence and windlessness, even though there was only a wall between them, it suddenly made people feel sad and chilled.
Pei Ye lowered his eyes and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist. He knew that this might not be a human feeling, perhaps it came from a keen sense of sword, just as a poet would be inspired to write poetry when he climbed to the top of a mountain, and being in a strange place would often make the sword spirit leap.
Pei Ye retracted his gaze and looked in front of the main gate.
Five steps, built of white stone.
It has been more than 20 years, and the figures who once lingered under the eaves have long gone their separate ways.
Pei Ye took off his sword and sat on the steps for a while with his knees resting. The forest was sparse and silent, without any sound.
He lowered his head and opened the file in his hand. A faint trace of ink appeared in front of him, which was the only record of this case.
Volume head:
"The case of assassinating the empress in Mingyue Palace
[Time]: Spring of the fourth year of Suolin, night of the third month and ninth day, one quarter after midnight.
[Case]: Mingyue Palace bedroom in the inner palace
[Involved]: Yue Muzhou, Wei Qingju, Ying Suyu, assassin
[Inspector in charge of the case]: 'Crane character Jiayi', Yue Muzhou."
Text:
"Just after midnight, it rained a little. As fine as a needle, it can wet the ground after about three quarters of an hour, leaving traces of horses' footsteps. After about five quarters of an hour, the soil and rocks become soft, and people will leave relatively complete shoe prints.
Ying Suyu sat on my left side for more than a foot and said: 'Since I came here, I rarely see it raining.'
I replied: 'You are welcome to come here in winter. Who will rain for you then?'
Ying Suyu replied: 'Because I just want to see the snow.'
There was no sound, and it was quiet for twelve breaths. The rain was a little heavier, and the sound of tiles hitting could be heard. The nightingale outside chirped three times, but it didn't fly away or get startled. I could smell the rain.
Ying Suyu said: 'At that time, there were no 'insects from the north' like you. '
I didn't answer.
Ying Suyu said: 'I heard from the court today that the situation in the north is relatively stable. That's great. After so many years of war, the people can finally have some rest. '
I answered: 'Do you think it will be a stable time in the future? '
Ying Suyu stretched out his hand to catch the rain: 'The foreign enemies in the north have retreated, the court is gradually stabilizing, and the wise emperor will be on the throne for four years, and they are still young... The Tang Dynasty has gone through several cold winters in a row. Look, isn't it raining warmly in spring? '
I didn't answer. After about two breaths, my five senses inside and outside the palace were normal.
Ying Suyu said, his voice was half of his usual voice: 'Mu Zhou, I always feel... you seem to be constantly worried about something. '
I didn't answer, and I was distracted for a moment.
Ying Suyu said: ‘It has been this way for the past three years. My aunt said that she and you chatted for three hours that night. She said that you always thought about 'leaving', no matter where you landed, and the very thing of 'taking root' made you uneasy... I think you are the same way. ’
I replied: "I think so" when people say it to you, but you don't say it on weekdays. ’
Ying Suyu replied: "Ah, then I'm stupid. I have long admitted that I am a fool in front of the great hero. What's new about that?" ’
I replied: 'I'm afraid you forgot. ’
Ying Suyu laughed three times, one high and two low. The rain began to fall heavily, falling like pine needles. After about half an hour, the ground became soft, and people and horses left their marks. The sound of people inside and outside the palace gradually began to sound, including the sound of leaves beating through the forest, the sound of falling eaves and dripping tiles, and the sound of water splashing in the scenic pond. The smell of earth in the rain is on my nose.
The five senses are the same.
Ying Suyu stretched his legs and looked at the plum tree at the foot of the stairs: 'So my aunt said... you said you are willing to try to stay... is that true? ’
I didn't answer for about two seconds, and then I answered: 'Yes. ’
There was no sound, and there was silence for seven breaths. Ying Suyu smiled like a string of beads, and his voice sounded like the nightingale outside the palace.
Then Ying Suyu said, "I think it's because you grew up like that." ’
‘You grew up in a dangerous world and are so used to sleeping with a sword on your head that you look at everything with cold eyes. Don’t trust anything, so don’t get close to anything. But Yue Shaoxia is the most chivalrous person I have ever seen. Why should he always look cold and unruly to the world? Let's try to believe that as long as we defeat the evil people and overcome the difficulties, we can also make the world what we want together - aren't our aunt and uncle standing on it? ’
The rain is steady and the ground is half an inch wet. The petals of the plum trees under the steps have been knocked off, and the fragrance is very light. The sound of water in the landscape pond is stirring, and the carp breaks out of the water to breathe.
I smell a very faint fishy smell.
I said: ‘Miss Ying, do you always sound so disgusting when you talk? ’
Ying Suyu replied: 'Ah, it turns out that Yue Shaoxia is older now, do you feel sick again? ——Then ‘Miss Ying, I don’t know how to comfort you. I know you are sad...I have also experienced unbearable pain, but talking about it will not cheer you up. Because there is no such thing as empathy in the world...'
I replied: ‘Are you not done yet? ’
Ying Suyu smiled, stood up with his sword in hand, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to go back to sleep, you just have to keep watch." ...I don’t know why my aunt trusts you so much. ’
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
I replied: 'See you clearly. ’
Ying Suyu walked down the steps toward the courtyard gate, stepped on the thin water on the stone path, and walked about nine steps. He turned around and said, "By the way, Mu Zhou, I heard the news about my junior sister again the day before yesterday... I don't know what to say... ...When I return to Lishui in a few days, can you come with me...'
The fishy smell suddenly became stronger.
I pressed the sword and turned around, walking across the hall. When I reached the door, a sharp sword appeared in the hall.
I was seven feet away from the queen. When I entered the curtain, my waist sword was unsheathed. I saw the queen's blood splashing in the air like a string of beads. The half body of the stabber was already outside the window, and the sword was stained with blood. I took out a sword and hit him right in the heart. He flew out of the window, the curtains fell, and disappeared from my five senses.
I returned to protect the queen's bed and saw that the queen's face was stunned and pale, and blood was falling from the air.
It starts when I press the sword and ends there, with half a breath in between.
The rain continued steadily, and the smell of blood gradually became thicker. The smell of water disappeared, and the smell of earth was very light. After that, those who stabbed again did not return, and no accomplices were found. "
Pei Ye was silent for a while, then turned back again and found the two lines of writing at the end.
Note at the end of the volume: Answers to Taili questions on March 11:
"Everything I know and feel has been recorded in it. If I don't record it, I have no sense. I don't know what is going on outside the curtain. I can't trace out the curtain. I have recorded the description of the assassin separately. Let me say it again, I am solely responsible for this case. You If you want to check the transcript and open a separate case, don't ask again.
Note at the end of the volume·March 29 inspection self-supplement:
"This case is unsolved. I will do my own thing. The crane seal is left here and handed over to others."
Pei Ye calmed down for a while, slowly closed the file, and reinstalled the old handwriting back to twenty years ago.
In fact, he also frowned at the first corresponding inquiry on the desk - if a crane inspector records all the details of the conversation and changes in the five senses, but only ends with a few lines at the most critical moment, of course it is because that is It was all the feeling he could capture.
Pei Ye now knows better than anyone else what kind of place this is. All living beings are mortal under the Law of Qilin. In such a large inner forbidden area, in front of the Mingyue Palace, Yue Muzhou is sitting in front of the steps holding a sword. There should not be any One can step into this palace.
It was at this moment that Pei Ye remembered the page of [Qijiao] He Changge's confession that Xie Chuantang had given him before entering Huanlou.
"...It was a rainy night in spring, the flowers, trees and soil were all soft and warm, and He Wujian came back from nowhere.
‘I have done something, Changge. ’ He Wujian took off his clothes, lowered his head to deal with the sword wound between his muscles and bones, his voice was as cold as ever, but solemn as never before, ‘I have to go. ’
He Changge stood up in a daze, putting on his sleeping quilt. He was not ready for anything yet. He only subconsciously looked at the blood wound - it was very straight, not deep, and not in a critical position... But the next moment he was shocked subconsciously. It turns out that as long as the sword is tilted ten degrees to the left, it will penetrate my father's heart. "
[Four Waters Snake Cultivator] He Wujian, Ye Que, who is ranked among the best in the world, took over this job.
He used some unknown means to cross the palace gate and the swordsman on the steps suddenly appeared in the queen's bedroom. He did everything he had rehearsed thousands of times quickly and to the extreme, and thrust out the sword at the window.
And the reaction and speed of the swordsman surnamed Yue were indeed as ghostly as the rumors said. I don't know how he reacted and rushed into the palace. The premonition of death was approaching in an instant. Just a lightning encounter had left him with an almost fatal sword wound.
Yue Muzhou would not focus his eyes on the assassin at that moment. No matter how he disappeared behind the curtain, or even just resting there, Yue Muzhou would not leave the queen half a step.
Pei Ye sat in front of the steps in a daze and thought for a while. The past more than 20 years ago seemed to be right in front of him. His nostrils twitched and he looked to the side. In the bleakness and withering of everything, an old plum tree stood in the snow under the steps, and red flowers were blooming on the branches.
…
…
Far to the north of Shenjing, in an unknown deep mountain.
The hanging waterfall was frozen, and the ancient trees were frosted. Although there was residual snow on the ground, it was not the same as Shenjing. It had melted and frozen again, almost becoming solid ice.
Zhu Gaoyang adjusted his bamboo hat. The morning sun was shining through the gaps between the trees. The snow on the road was dazzling.
He raised his sword and pushed away the thorns: "Then tell me, how do they control that kind of magic?"
"It should not be controlled by the human world." Zhu Gaoyang said, "If you know clearly what it is and hold it in your hands... just like Yun Lang holds the "Sword Strategy", you may not have to be so restrained when doing things."
"Think about it, it is said that King Mu of Zhou spent his entire life to get one or two powers from heaven and earth. How can they be so smooth... Besides, [Xiting Heart] is not in their hands." Zhu Gaoyang almost talked to himself, but stopped at this time and turned back to say, "Tell me, even if your father really hid in this deep mountain swamp, can he really survive for decades?"
He was followed by a man in his forties or fifties, bowing his head and not speaking, with a vicissitudes of life, gray hair, and a cloak wrapped in it that had been worn out on the road.
"…My father was ranked in the middle of the Crane List 20 years ago. Now the years have passed. If he is really found, it may not be a good thing for Yu Zhu to pass on his teachings." He Changge's voice was dull.
"Is that so." Zhu Gaoyang pushed the sword in his hand and didn't care much. "Master He, don't worry. Zhu's life is very precious. I don't often do things that I am not sure of."
After crossing this forest, they stood on the top of the mountain. Zhu Gaoyang looked down and saw the frozen long stream disappearing and reappearing in the forest, winding all the way to the deep valley ahead. This is the end of the Jing River. They were delayed several times along the way, and now they are finally reaching the end.
