A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"It's a good life." Di Renjie said decadently.

"His Royal Highness, how are the preparations for Haimao, has Shangguanyi replied to you?"

"It's okay." Li Zhi drank a cup of tea with a bit of a sore mouth after eating too much dried fruit, "Shangguanyi said that the details still need to be improved, and he will help me."

"Shangguanyi is still safe in doing things, but some are too safe, and some places can be bolder." Gu Qing has been looking at the pattern on the tortoise shell for a long time, and the more he looks at it, the more curious he becomes.

"By the way." Li Zhi said again, "It is said that today my brother came to the village from Ganlu Hall to see the father. What did you and my father talk about?"

"I didn't talk about anything, it's just that Li Chengqian has to listen to your father's lectures in the village these days, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go back to court during this time."

Di Renjie understood the affairs of the court, but there were some things Li Zhi didn't know, and Gu Qing blocked them.

Di Renjie added, "Now Dali Temple has sent a lot of people to look for Tang Jian's family, but there is still no clue, but the exit should be around Chang'an."

Gu Qing nodded, "The monk also sent most of Chang'an's staff to look for clues. I'm afraid that if we are put together, people may not leave Chang'an."

Di Renjie nodded, and this possibility cannot be ruled out, "But if I was really in Chang'an, I would have wandered around under Chang'an when I was in the tunnel, and I didn't leave Chang'an? I found that the tunnel was very long back then. Each repetition takes an hour."

Gu Qing pondered, "Is there any place in Chang'an where this tunnel can be built, maybe this tunnel existed under Tang Jian's mansion a long time ago, even Tang Jian himself didn't know about it."

Di Renjie thought for a long time and said, "If it's true what the teacher said, Tang Jian's mansion was built in the former Sui Dynasty. It was the mansion of a nobleman in the former Sui Dynasty, and it was built several times during the period."

"Do you have a direction?" Gu Qing asked with a smile.

"Yes." Di Renjie nodded, "If this is the case, we will have to investigate from Zhenguan to the early years of Wude."

Gu Qing put down the tortoise shell in his hand, "This Qimen Dunjia is a good skill. The person who gave you the tortoise shell is the one who took away Tang Jian's whole family."

"It should be right." Di Renjie replied, "I can see from the tunnel, if ordinary people can't build such a tunnel, I will almost be trapped in it."

"Speaking of Qimen Dunjia, I seem to have heard something from the emperor's grandfather when I was a child." Li Zhi interjected, "This incident is very bizarre, and I listened to it as a story at the beginning. The canal started talking, and it was a weird thing."

"Please listen to His Royal Highness King Jin." Di Renjie said.

Wu Mei and Xiao Sizi are tidying up the storeroom of this family. There are many scattered things made by Gu Qing, such as wooden horses and rattles. dialogue.

Xiao Si shook the rattle and liked this thing very much, "Sister Wu Mei, this can be played by little Gu Xiao."

"He already has enough toys." Wu Mei tidied up.

The conversation in the study continued.

Li Zhi went on to say: "When Yang Guang sent people to build the Grand Canal, when they dug up a place, they dug up a lot of bones, like a mass burial pit. When they wanted to clean up these bones, something strange happened. , Many people suffer from a strange disease, and thousands of civilian husbands cannot afford to be seriously ill, and even performed a lot of Buddhist rituals when there was nothing they could do."

"At that time, the official who trimmed the Grand Canal met a child. The child was only four or five years old, but he looked very mature. He told the official who trimmed the canal that he had a solution to this problem."

Gu Qing found it very interesting.

Li Zhi said again, "The boy made a condition, that is, he asked the official to hand over his newborn daughter to him. They took the child's words as a joke and no one listened to them. After being rejected, the boy said , These bones cannot be dug up, and many people will die if they are further dug up."

"The fortification of the Grand Canal was put on hold. Yang Guang was furious. In order to keep his head, the officials had to dig up the bones. Afterwards, as the boy said, the bones could not be dug up. After seven days and nights, every time one was dug up pit, and bones are coming up from the mire, and people are starting to die."

"The corpses filled the place with a stench. The kid found the official again and asked him if he would hand over his newborn daughter to him. If he doesn't hand over the affairs here, he may not only die, but also face the Anger against Yang Guang will also lead to death."

"The official agreed to the kid's condition, and after handing over his daughter, the bones sank the next day, and only then did he know that there was a huge ancient tomb under the river, and that kid was the descendant of Qimen Dunjia , hollowed out the tomb and let the bones sink.”

After hearing this incident, Gu Qing still couldn't get enough of it, "There are quite a lot of strange people in this world, that kid is cheating, he knew that this matter could be settled easily, and he cheated his daughter for nothing."

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded, "However, according to my grandpa, that kid seems to be a very capable person, and it has been decades since I don't know if this matter is true or not."

"It's getting late, His Royal Highness King Jin will go back to rest earlier." Gu Qing said.

Li Zhiwen sat there with no intention of leaving, "Are you going to teach Di Renjie behind my back again?"

"There is no such thing." Gu Qing said again, "Di Renjie should go back early, too. There is no rush to investigate this matter carefully tomorrow."

After Di Renjie left, Li Zhi also left. Gu Qing felt that Li Zhi had an inexplicable resentment towards him, and the study became quiet again. Wu Mei walked into the study and said, "Husband, you should sleep in the study tonight."

Chapter 692 Di Renjie and Qimen Dunjia ([-])

Back home, Di Renjie was still thinking about how to solve this case. Even if the authentic exit is in Chang'an, but Chang'an is so big, tens of thousands of residents have to be checked one by one. When it is time to find out, it will almost dig three feet of the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an. , There is no clue until now. Thinking of what Li Zhi said today, His Majesty has come to the village now and can’t go back to the Ganlu Hall for a while. It is because of Haimao. Di Renjie immediately sat up from the bed when he thought of Haimao. Compass!The compass can break through his Qimen Dunjia.

On the second day, early in the morning, Di Renjie brought people from Dali Temple to Tang Jian's house with a compass, and saw that Li Chunfeng was also here.

"Li Daochang, who is this?" Di Renjie was puzzled.

"It's been many years since I've seen such a strange art of dungeon armor, I'm coming to see it too." Li Chunfeng looked authentically, "Can I go down and have a look?"

"Of course." Di Renjie nodded, took a compass, and walked down the tunnel with a few people from Dali Temple. He confirmed the direction with the compass by the light of the torch, drew a direction, and then drew a point on the map of Chang'an , After confirming, look down at the compass and move forward.

It is easy to get lost in the dark tunnel, but with the compass in hand, you will not lose your bearings.

Li Chunfeng was also in the tunnel, "What is this in your hand?"

"This is a compass." Di Renjie said with a smile, "It's a little gadget made by the teacher."

Li Chunfeng held the gossip compass in his hand, "With this little thing in your hand, you want to break through this Qimen Dunjia? The skill of Qimen Dunjia is unpredictable, let me help you find the exit."

"It's good to have Li Daochang's help." Di Renjie looked at the compass all the way, "But the boy wants to try."

"It's up to you." Li Chunfeng continued walking with a compass.

Di Renjie walked very slowly, walking along the way. The sense of direction given by the compass is different from the feeling of walking in the tunnel yesterday. Outside Chang'an, many eyeliners of Dali Temple have been deployed to control, plus the monk's manpower, every gate is guarded everywhere. However, it is impossible for Tang Jian's family to leave the city under such circumstances.

The route on the map turned a corner, Di Renjie looked delighted, he was still in Chang'an City, the route followed the direction of the compass, and then drew the direction, and came to the tunnel entrance that collapsed yesterday, drawing a rough range based on his feeling and distance, It is in a large courtyard in the West City among several private houses.

After finding out the approximate address, Di Renjie looked back at Li Chunfeng, "Did Daochang Li see anything?"

"It's really strange." Li Chunfeng was puzzled, "The old man has been here three times, why did he come back to the same place?"

Di Renjie laughed, "Li Daochang is actually not very advanced, he just used our sight to deceive our sense of direction. Although Qimen Dunjia is mysterious, I still believe in the science that the teacher said."

Li Chunfeng looked at Di Renjie, "Have you found the exit?"

"I almost found a range, and it will be convenient to find it later. As the teacher told us last night, we were placed together. The whole tunnel was so long that we thought the exit was outside Chang'an City, but outside Chang'an City. There are no traces of construction work, and Tang Jian’s family members have not been found, so we suspect that they never left Chang’an at all, and the gates of Chang’an are currently guarded everywhere and cannot get out.”

Li Chunfeng looked at the direction and route drawn by Di Renjie, "Have you cracked it?"

"Yes!" Di Renjie nodded, "As long as you have a sense of direction, it is actually not difficult at all. The reason is very simple. It is a reference. If there is no reference in the vast sea, you will lose your way. If you have a sense of direction, it is not difficult at all."

"You rely on such a little thing?" Li Chunfeng looked at the compass depressedly, "Is this thing so mysterious? The old man is also involved in Qimen Dunjia, how about this little thing in your hand?"

"In fact, it can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The usage is different, and the effect and result are also different." Di Renjie said: "The methods to achieve the goal are different. Qimen Dunjia is mysterious, but many things are too obscure. Science is complicated. Things can be explained more reasonably, and problems can be solved more directly and intuitively.”

"The old man has also seen these scientific knowledge in the academy these years." Li Chunfeng agreed, "Science does make many things more straightforward and easier to explain, but it always feels less original. "

When the two walked out of the tunnel, Di Renjie gave the compass to Li Chunfeng, "The teacher has made a lot of this thing, but it has been used in the sea trade. The small things are not worth a few dollars, so I gave it to Li Daochang."
