Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The Temple of Yin and Yang aroused the curiosity of Zhan Zhao and others, so Ouyang Shaozheng laid out a huge map of the streets and houses in Kaifeng City and its suburbs.

As expected of a good geography, Zhao Zhen had mentioned to Zhao Pu long ago that if the Northwest is stable for another two years, he should give Ouyang to him!He asked Ouyang Shaozheng to stay in Kaifeng to command all the soldiers and horses in the imperial city and the Hunan army in the central region.Zhao Pu naturally agreed to such a bright future, so Ouyang has made Kaifeng's topography very clear in recent years.

Gongsun rolled up his sleeves and took out a gossip.

Everyone looked at Gongsun in surprise.

The Eighth Prince couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gongsun is good at ventilating water?"

"I understand a little, I understand a little." Gongsun was still modest.

The fourth son on the side smiled and said, "Daddy learned from an old fairy before. People in our village, such as repairing bridges and relocating graves, let Daddy look at them."

"Oh..." Everyone sighed once again, they deserve to be learned!Apart from kung fu, nothing can trouble him.

Gongsun placed the gossip in the middle of Kaifeng City, and then brought two boxes of chess pieces.He placed the white characters in different positions, then asked for a lot of red strings, pressed them with white pieces... After a while, Gongsun placed a black stone at the point where the red strings crossed.

After being so busy for about half an hour, Gongsun put a total of five sunspots on the drawing.

After that, he removed all the red strings and white pieces, leaving only five black pieces

Opening the sunspots, there were two houses without houses, Gongsun removed those two, and there were three remaining, one of which was a temple, Gongsun also removed, and finally only two remained.

Gongsun circled the two houses with a cinnabar pen, and said, "In the entire Kaifeng city, including the suburbs, there are only two houses located where yin and yang meet Fengshui!"

When everyone looked down, they saw that there were two abandoned houses, one was in the west of the city, and the other was next door to Taixue.

Bao Zheng was silent for a long time, and praised, "Mr. Gongsun is indeed a genius."

Everyone looked at him.

Pointing to the house in the west of the city, Bao Zheng said, "Apart from his poems and essays, Qu Zhongyuan is most famous for his research on geomantic omens. He said in the past that Kaifeng City could be used as a hall of yin and yang. There are only two houses, one is here, and the other is very close to Taixue, so he doesn’t want to use it. He disappeared from this house back then, and this house is still sealed.”

Everyone raised their eyebrows slightly.

"Then shall we act tonight?" Zhan Zhao eagerly asked, "Which place will we use?"

"You can't use the Yin Yang Hall for the second time after you use it once." Mr. Bao pointed to the place next to the Taixue, "You can only use it here!"

Everyone nodded, preparing to act at midnight tonight, and the Eighth Prince reminded, "Don't forget, there is a banquet in the palace tonight."

Everyone flattened their mouths-disappointing!

"I'm not afraid." The Eighth King smiled, "The banquet in the palace will not last until midnight, and there is still time to go after eating."

Everyone nodded - that's right.

Zhao Pujia sent more people to patrol the city at night in Kaifeng, Master Bao also sent more people to patrol the city, and everyone wore ringing arrows for communication. Once they found the ghost-masked man's whereabouts, they immediately notified others.

……

After all, everyone had just arrived home, and they all needed to clean up, so they went to work on their own.

Zhao Lan grabbed the fourth son and refused to let him go, wanting to play with him, Wang Qi and Ouyang Chunhua also visited Kaifeng mansion curiously, and they chatted with Bao Yan soon.

While lighting the lamp, Pang Yu ran over.

An Lehou didn't come empty-handed, he had a big bag of things in his hand, and he didn't know what it was.

As soon as Zhao Lan saw Pang Yu coming, she ran over, "Did you get it?"

In terms of seniority, Pang Yu is the younger brother of Zhao Lan's sister-in-law. He is older than Zhao Lan and can be considered her brother. Zhao Lan and Concubine Pang are also close, and they know each other very well.They also knew the others. Ouyang Chunhua and Wang Qi didn't see Pang Yu very much at first, thinking that he was the second generation ancestor who was ignorant and incompetent.But since Pang Yu got better, the two of them gradually became familiar with him.Pang Yu is actually not difficult to get along with. Compared with these gentlemen and gentlemen, Pang Yu has a second-rate air about him, and he is more easy-going and tactful.

In the words of Mr. Bao, don't underestimate Pang Yu, he has no literary talent but has crooked talent, and that group of scholars combined is invincible in writing poems and lyrics, but they are still being fooled by the little prince's few words.

"I found it, but I don't know if it's what you want." Pang Yu put the big bag on the stone table.

Zhao Lan opened the bag, and everyone came to look curiously, and saw that Pang Yu brought about a hundred ghost masks.

Everyone raised their eyebrows - this matter should be done by Pang Yu.

"I asked my subordinates to find all the ghost masks that can be found in Kaifeng Mansion." The young master asked Zhao Lan, "Is there the one you saw?"

Zhao Lan, Chunhua and Wang Qi searched together.

At this time, Mr. Bao suddenly pointed at one of them, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Lan and Chunhua say in unison, "It looks like this!"

Wang Qi also nodded, "Yes! But that one is white, and this one is green."

"That one needs to be more sinister." Mr. Bao also said.

The Eighth Prince nodded, "Well, stick out your chin a bit more."

With that said, the five of them raised their heads and looked at each other.

Zhao Lan was surprised, "Uncle Emperor, Mr. Bao, what we saw is not the same?"

"Do you have horns?!" Master Bao and Chunhua asked at the same time, and looked at each other again. Master Bao asked Bao Yan to go to the left-hand drawer of the desk in his study to get a box.

Bao Yan ran to the study, and came back with a box after a while.

Master Bao opened the box, took out a piece of paper, spread it on the table, and asked, "Is it this?"

I saw a ghost mask drawn on the paper.

"Yes!" The three children nodded together.

Hearing this, everyone was a little puzzled—when Mr. Bao was studying in Taixue, let's say less than 20 years ago, right?Why, after more than 20 years, the ghost-masked man who ran out still wore the same ghost mask?

Pang Yu looked at the picture for a while, and said, "I'll ask someone to look for it tomorrow."

"Then I will thank you, Young Master." Master Bao said, picking up the green mask and looking at it carefully, as if he was a little puzzled.

"My lord?" Seeing Master Bao lost in thought, Zhan Zhao asked, "What's wrong with this mask?"

Master Bao said, "I always feel, it feels very similar, although there are some differences..."

The Eighth Prince also looked at it, reached out and picked up the mask and handed it to Doro, asking him to put it on and walk forward, and then looked back.

Doro put on the mask, walked a few steps, and looked back at everyone.

Lord Bao frowned, and the Eighth Prince was also surprised, "It is indeed..."

"What is it?" Zhao Lan didn't seem to notice anything strange at all.

Chunhua and Wang Qi also didn't understand, they looked at Master Bao and Bawang.

"Same feeling, evil..." Bao Zheng muttered to himself, and asked the three of them, "You also saw that ghost-masked man who ran out that day, don't you feel this way?"

Zhao Lan scratched her head, looked at Chunhua and Wang Qi, and all three shook their heads.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked Zhao Lan, "Which guards were there that day?"

"Oh! Ge Qing went with me that day..." Zhao Lan pouted, "I asked him to catch the ghost-masked man, but he stopped me from entering the house."

Both Zhan Zhao and Duo Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where's Ge Qing?"

"In the palace, he must be busy with a banquet today." Zhao Lan replied.

Doro ran to the palace, and after a while, he brought a dark-skinned, but tall and handsome young guard, who seemed to be in his twenties, holding a black knife in his hand. After entering the door, I saluted everyone, which was very polite.

Many masters present looked at him, and they could tell that this person was very good at kung fu, and thought to himself—there are many masters around Zhao Zhen.

In addition, Bai Yutang stared at his saber for a while, feeling a little familiar - where have you seen this saber before?

"Look at it." Zhan Zhao gave Ge Qing the mask picked out by Master Bao, "Does that ghost-masked man have any feelings that night?"

Ge Qing glanced at it and shook his head, "That one is white, it looks more fierce than this one, but it's not so evil."

"Then what about this picture?" Zhan Zhao showed him the picture drawn by Mr. Bao again.

Ge Qing frowned slightly and looked at it carefully, then shook his head, "It looks the same, but this picture looks more evil."

Zhao Lan, Chunhua and Wang Qi all tilted their heads, "You can see this? It's no different."

Ouyang Shaozheng slapped Chunhua on the head helplessly, "You nerd, study less and learn more kung fu, people who practice martial arts have no sense at all!"

Chunhua scratched his head.

After Ge Qing finished answering the question, when he saw Bai Yutang, he bowed his hands to him, "Respect Master Uncle."

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, surprised, "Are you from the Tianshan sect?"

"Yes." Ge Qing nodded, "When I was 13 years old, I was blessed with a sword given by the God of Heaven."

As he said that, he asked a little shyly, "Tianzun... how is the old man?"

"Very good." Bai Yutang nodded, and at the same time remembered that Tianzun had told him that it was interesting to see a young man walking around the Tianshan School, so he gave him a knife.

Everyone was also surprised, it turned out to be the knife given by Tianzun.

Zhao Pu introduced, "Ge Qing is the descendant of the general, and his grandfather is the old general Ge Yuan."

Everyone nodded—oh...the tiger father has no dogs.

Bai Yutang also lamented that the Tianshan School has a wide range of apprentices, even the inner guards.

"Did you see that ghost-masked man?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Yes." Ge Qing nodded.

"Why didn't you catch him?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Insufficient manpower." Ge Qing was very honest. "At that time, I wanted to protect the princess. As soon as I left, she ran to the Yin Yang Mansion."

Everyone looked at Zhao Lan silently.

Zhao Lan narrowed her eyes and glanced at Ge Qing, looking quite unconvinced.

"And." Ge Qing said to Bai Yutang, "I'm not sure I can beat him."

Everyone was stunned.

Bai Yutang nodded slightly, self-knowledge is a sign of intelligence, "Can you tell what kind of kung fu it is?"

"Hmm...lightness kung fu is very strange." Ge Qing shook his head, "I've never seen it before, and it's very murderous, and besides..."

Everyone looked at him, feeling that this young man was very stable and careful, and he observed many details in such a short moment.

"He seems to be lame," Ge Qing replied.

"What?" Master Bao was taken aback.

Everyone also frowned.

"Is there a lame?" Zhao Lan was curious.

Wang Qi also touched her chin and frowned.

Chunhua raised his face and thought, the ghost-masked man stopped for a while, and then flashed into the alley, did he have a limp?When Ge Qing said this, it seemed that his movements were not natural.

"Are you sure?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I'm not sure, it just feels uncoordinated, like I'm limping." Ge Qing felt helpless, "At that time his murderous aura made me a little nervous."

"You mean, there is murderous intent but no evil intent?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yeah." Ge Qing nodded, "He seems to have killed a lot of people or wants to kill people, very dangerous!"

Everyone nodded, this is the intuition of martial arts practitioners, and at the same time, everyone was puzzled...a person went in, a ghost came out, and the one who came out was still lame. Reminiscent of Qu Zhongyuan who was also lame back then, could it be that he was lame after more than 20 years? Did you run out?

"Tsk..." Zhao Pu frowned, "It's a bit complicated." Then he asked Zhe Ying, "What's the situation and background of Qiao Xin?"

Zhe Ying is known as Bao Inquirer, a know-it-all, a well-known gossip lover, and is familiar with the basic situation of the imperial city, so she replied, "Qiao Xin is in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the management position is not very big. She is usually very low-key and only has one wife. , have been together for more than [-] years and are very affectionate, with only one daughter under their knees. In other respects, I have never heard of him having any outrageous behavior. In terms of background, he is a native of Kaifeng, by the way...he is a civil servant and a student of Taixue."

"Go and investigate again." Zhao Pu ordered several shadow guards, "Check it out."

"Yes." All the shadow guards dispersed, and the others went to the palace for a banquet.

Ge Qing also went back, and before he left, he asked Bai Yutang with red ears, "Heaven... Has Tianzun come?"

Bai Yutang laughed a little, and said, "Should come in a few days."

"Oh!" Ge Qing seemed to be looking forward to it, "Then... it's here, let me know, okay... okay?"

Zhan Zhao saw that his personality was quite honest, and he seemed to stutter when he was nervous, so he said, "The Heavenly Lord is here to ask you to drink tea."

"Okay!" Ge Qing blushed and nodded, turned and ran away.

Bai Yutang folded his arms and shook his head. His master was indeed handsome and immortal when he stood on the top of Tianshan Mountain without saying a word, so that all the disciples of Tianshan School worshiped him as a god.If there is a chance to get in touch, Bai Yutang is really looking forward to the expressions of the disciples of Tianshan sect when they see Tianzun committing crimes.

After that, everyone walked to the palace to have a banquet together.

The streets of Kaifeng Mansion were still as lively as ever, and seemed to be even more lively after dark, with brightly lit lights.

Everyone walked unhurriedly.

The young people like Zhao Lan are naturally not attached to Master Bao and the Eighth Prince, they are not attached to the generals like Zhao Pu Ouyang, nor are they attached to the Jiang Hu people like Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, but to Gongsun.

Gongsun Gaocai is also a genius doctor. In Zhao Pu's words, he is a leader among nerds. He soon became the idol of the three Taixue students. The three of them, plus Bao Yan, all asked questions about Fengshui in one go. .

Zhao Pu held Xiao Sizi in one hand, and the two of them ate two strings of the same candied haws, looking back as they walked... The nerd was snatched away by a group of nerds!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked side by side at the end of the line. Looking at the noisy group of people in front of them, as soon as a few seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys joined in, they immediately felt a sense of vitality.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao remembered something, and said to Bai Yutang, "I asked Chunhua and the others just now, and they all said that Shi Ye lived in the dormitory of the academy and basically didn't go out. He is a foreigner, living in Kaifeng. I don’t have any friends, and all the friends I know are in Taixue. In addition, the dormitory of Taixue is actually very big, and all drinks and so on are bought in the dormitory.”

After Bai Yutang heard this, he frowned slightly, "It means...the person who might tell him the method of Yin Yang Palace is in Taixue?"

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and said, "But apart from a few masters in Taixue, they are all young people. How did young people know that ballad?"

Bai Yutang nodded, yes indeed.

At this time, Zhao Pu held the fourth son and waited for the two of them for a while.

The two stepped forward to walk with him, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Oh." Zhao Pu seemed to be thinking about this case all the way, "I'm just curious why the gimmick of Yin Yang Temple was used? And... where did the scholar named Shi Ye go? He disappeared from the world?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also frowned, everyone knew that Kaifeng mansion was full of people, Zhao Pu's army was there, Kaifeng was sealed off, even real ghosts couldn't escape.At this time, a man with a ghost face appeared, one can imagine that he would be rounded up!Who is it and what is the purpose of taking such a risk?

The three of them were walking while muttering. At this moment, the fourth son who was sitting on Zhao Pu's shoulder suddenly patted Zhao Pu's head with his small hand, "Jiujiu, there's a lot of smoke in there, is it on fire?"

Zhao Pu raised his head, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked up, only to realize that many people on the street had stopped to look into the distance... I saw a fire somewhere in the north, thick smoke billowing, and the flames could still be seen.

"It's too learned!"

At this time, the residents living upstairs on both sides suddenly shouted, "Tai Xue is on fire!"

Everyone was surprised.

Zhan Zhao jumped onto the roof and looked into the distance, isn't he too learned!I saw that the Xiyuan of Taixue was burning fiercely, and the surrounding houses were also on fire, and the most burning room was just circled by Gongsun, and everyone was going to try the Yinyang Hall tonight. , a mansion where yin and yang feng shui converge!
