Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Xiao Liangzi didn't care about the development of the case, and he didn't sit still obediently like the fourth son. After listening to adults talk for a long time, he felt bored, so he wanted to take the fourth son to play.

However, when Xiao Liangzi looked at Xiao Sizi, he found that he kept looking up at the sky, as if he cared about something.

So Xiao Liangzi also raised his face to look at the sky. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, covering most of the moon.

After looking at it for a while but not seeing anything other than clouds, Xiao Liang asked the fourth son in puzzlement, "Jin'er."

The fourth son turned around and looked at him.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Liang pointed to the sky.

The fourth son blinked, raised his face again, and then shook his face, "Ah! It's gone!"

Gongsun was eating dragon beard candy. Seeing that the fourth son raised his face and lowered his head in a panic, he poked him, "What's wrong?"

"There are..." Little Sizi just raised his hand when Yaoyao, who was dozing beside him, suddenly raised his head, raised his face to the sky and let out a long cry.

This movement was quite loud, and Yao Yao was taken aback by everyone, and all looked up.

I saw a huge "cloud" in the sky, slowly moving over, passing overhead.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "What is that?"

Bai Yutang also looked at it, and the huge cloud that almost covered the moon did not seem to be a cloud.

Yaoyao suddenly spread its wings and soared into the sky.

Zhan Zhao stood up... After Yaoyao rushed into the cloud layer, the "cloud layer" was in chaos in an instant.

Only then did everyone see clearly that it was not clouds, but flocks of birds.

Yaoyao directly passed through the flock of birds, and then circled above, causing the flock of birds to be in chaos. The birds could not tell the difference between east, west, north, and east, and many of them fell down. The sky instantly burst into "twittering" birdsong At that time, because the number of birds was too many, the people in Kaifeng City all ran out to see them.

Fortunately, it was night, so it was not too obvious. If it was daytime, the number of birds would definitely scare passers-by.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly when he saw it. An emperor is most afraid of this strange phenomenon. Floods and droughts, too cold in winter and too hot in summer are all fatal things.In the same way, ghosts in the palace, lightning strikes the palace, birds and beasts suddenly move, red moon and black sun, in short, all strange omens can be interpreted as instability in the country and the unpopularity of the emperor.

Zhao Zhen rested his chin and looked at the few birds that fell down to his feet, and sighed, so many people are vying to be the emperor and they are full.

"It's just an ordinary tit." Nangong Ji glanced at it.

"There are quite a lot of varieties." Zhan Zhao felt that if Yaoyao continued to make trouble like this, the flock of birds would fall off, which was pitiful, so he whistled.

Yaoyao was still spinning in the air, flapping her wings to scare the birds, not very obedient.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and heard Bai Yutang whistle.

Yaoyao was honest, and flew down avoiding the flock of birds, and obediently landed beside Bai Yutang, shaking the bird feathers on his body.

Zhan Zhao squinted at Yaoyao, and got angry—— Yaoyao was obviously not afraid of that rat...

Sure enough, after Yaoyaobu made trouble, the flock of birds returned to order and flew away.

Gongsun stroked his chin lightly, puzzled, "There shouldn't be any unusual weather recently. Why did the flocks of birds move on such a large scale?"

"Flying from south to north." Ouyang Shaozheng looked up and observed, "It's not quite right, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it shouldn't be migration, and it seems to be flying very fast."

"What is the reason for the sudden migration of birds?" Zhao Pu asked Gongsun.

"Well... not many, or it could be because of a sudden change in the weather, or it might be because of a disaster, or... being frightened and being chased."

"Oh." Zhao Pu stroked his chin. "Speaking of which, I once saw a group of falcons suddenly rushing into the woods in the desert. At that time, the birds also escaped in this way..."

"How many falcons are there?" Gongsun was surprised, "Don't most falcons live alone, most couples hunt together, and it is rare to see a group..."

"It's raised by the tribe." Xiao Liangzi raised his hand when he heard the topic he was interested in, "There are a lot of people who raise falcons and eagles in our area! Every year during the hunting season, all kinds of raptors are released! And some The eagles are really huge, and when two or three of them flew into the woods, all the birds were scared away, and a huge flock fled in the sky, and was chased by the raptors like a big net."

"I didn't see any birds of prey chasing after him." Zhan Zhao said.

"Or maybe..." Yin Hou smiled, "Has something entered the woods where the birds live?"

Tianzun and Master Wusha looked at each other silently.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little curious—what was occupying the forest, so frightened that the birds flew away?

"Actually, it's quite strange." Bao Yan said suddenly, "The birds fly so quietly in the middle of the night, if Yaoyao didn't rush up, no one would have noticed."

Bao Yan obviously mentioned the point that everyone paid attention to at the same time, and what Bao Yan said was not entirely correct. The first person to notice the flock of birds was actually the little four who looked up at the sky without warning.

Gongsun asked the fourth son curiously, "How do you know there are birds flying by?"

"There was a big bird just now." The fourth son pointed to the sky, "It's gone in a whiff."

Zhao Pu didn't understand, there was no reason why a big bird flew by and everyone didn't pay attention to it, but the younger brother noticed it.

"How big is the bird?" Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son.

"Hmm..." Xiao Si thought for a while, "It flies so high! It's about the same size as Yaoyao..."

Everyone was taken aback.

Bai Yutang was also surprised, "Such a big bird?"

"Could it be an illusion?" Gongsun asked, "It's impossible to tell the size of a bird flying in the sky. The geese flying higher and the pigeons flying lower look about the same size."

"It's not a bird that's not that big." Lu Tianhan's words made everyone's eyes widen - what bird is as big as a dragon?

"This is troublesome." Lu Tianhan shook his head lightly.

Tianzun frowned, "Is something wrong?"

Yin Hou nodded, "I think so too."

A few old men chatted with each other, and the expressions on the faces of a group of juniors around them seemed to be holding their breath.

Zhao Pu rubbed his brows, Bai Yutang couldn't help but said, "Be clearer."

"The Liu Shanming and Longpo we captured before were actually subordinates of the Soldier Spider King." Yin Hou explained to everyone, "There are a few others who died together in the Ten Thousand Curses Palace back then. "

Everyone looked at Yin Hou with their eyes wide open in surprise, "The Palace of Ten Thousand Curses?"

Lu Tianhan said, "There were a lot of people who entered the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses back then, and only we survived in the end. After the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses collapsed and sank to the bottom of the sea, it was impossible for these people to survive."

Both Tianzun and Master Wusha nodded.

"There are no absolutes in the world." Yao Changtian added when everyone just accepted this explanation, "It's been so many years, and that thing sank in the water, who knows if the closed door will open again, then But it’s really bad, who knows what will come out.”

Yao Changtian's words caused Yin Hou and Tianzun to frown, while the rest of the people were dumbfounded.

"What door is open?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"What came out?" Zhao Pu was even more curious.

"what……"

Speaking of this, Gongsun who was in a daze suddenly let out a soft "ah".

Everyone looked at him.

Gongsun looked around and seemed to hesitate to speak.

At this time, Zhao Zhen nodded to Nangong Ji.

Nangong took out a scroll from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Everyone saw that it was a tattered scroll, and they were a little puzzled.

Gongsun looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in embarrassment, his eyes seemed apologetic.Tianzun and Yinhou were also a little surprised when they saw that scroll. Looking over, Gongsun bowed his head quickly, as if he had done something wrong.

Zhao Pu frowned slightly. Just now he and Gongsun were flipping through books in the Chuntang Pavilion. Gongsun originally talked a lot, flipping through one after another, and seemed to be in a good mood, but suddenly stopped talking while flipping through.

Zhao Pu leaned over to look, and saw Gongsun turning over an old scroll, his brows were frowned and his expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Pu asked him curiously.

"Uh..." Gongsun was too focused, even surprised by Zhao Pu, raised his head and opened his mouth, "That..."

Zhao Pu looked at him puzzled.

Gongsun came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I seem to know... something incredible."

While speaking, Gongsun wanted to show Zhao Pu the scroll in his hand.

At this time, a shadow guard came over and said that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in the Four Seas Palace found the body.

Zhao Pu took Gongsun to the autopsy.

All the books in Chuntang Pavilion are not allowed to be taken away, taking out Chuntang Pavilion is a death penalty, Gongsun was also in a hurry at that time, and stuffed the scroll behind a pile of scrolls.

Zhao Pu caught a glimpse of Gongsun's movements, and he was a little puzzled at that time. Gongsun seemed to want to hide the scroll.It's a pity that Zhao Pu didn't take it seriously when the incident happened urgently.

Looking at it now, what Zhao Zhen asked Nangong Ji to take out was that scroll.

Zhao Pu frowned slightly, glanced at Zhao Zhen, and knew it...

There are many shadow guards near Chuntang Pavilion, which is not surprising, that place is also strictly guarded.But obviously, the purpose of Zhao Zhen allowing them to enter Chuntang Pavilion is to find books, and he has sent shadow guards to follow them secretly.Gongsun's actions at that time were probably seen by the nearby shadow guards. No need to ask, the shadow guards took the scroll and went to Zhao Zhen.

Gongsun is well-versed in ancient and modern times and extremely intelligent. Zhao Zhen may have sent someone to check the Chuntang Pavilion long ago, but he did not find any clues from the scrolls, so this time he deliberately let Gongsun in.

Zhan Zhao reached out and took the scroll and opened it, and saw all kinds of strange words and rich people on the scroll, matched with numbers, which made people dazzled.

The materials in the Chuntang Pavilion will not be waste paper, they are all preserved by the emperors of the past dynasties to confirm and record important secrets. Among them, there are many books written in various obscure characters and even secret words, which no one can decipher. This is one of them. one roll.

Zhan Zhao handed the scroll to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang flipped through it, frowning slightly... The symbols on this scroll are all part of the characters, and the numbers have certain rules.Bai Yutang's brain turned quickly, and he suddenly realized that these numbers are equivalent to the number of squares on a chessboard in ancient times, and the sorting method is a bit like a chess record.Look carefully, the numbers next to the characters can form a criss-cross chessboard, and the intersection points are the positions of the characters, which is very complicated!Therefore, Bai Yutang placed these characters in different positions in his mind, and gradually assembled them into a complete and coherent article.

Bai Yutang put down the paper and started to be in a daze...

Zhao Pu noticed that his actions were similar to those of Gongsun just now, so he glanced at Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded secretly. Bai Yutang is quite clever, and he probably figured it out, but there are some characters that he can't decipher. Those are lost secret words.

Zhao Zhen asked Nangong Ji to bring a pen and paper to Gongsun, with an obvious meaning—to write it down.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Gongsun took the pen that Nangong Ji gave him, and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen smiled.

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu in embarrassment—is it a crime of deceiving the emperor if he doesn't write it?

Zhao Pu touched his nose and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen deliberately staggered his eyes and drank tea from a cup, which meant that it would be useless for anyone to intercede today, Gongsun must write.

Gongsun hesitated for a while, and finally wrote.

About halfway through Gongsun's writing, Bai Yutang suddenly picked up the cup on the table.

When Gongsun saw a layer of frost on the paper, he was startled and quickly withdrew his hands.

With a gust of wind, the paper drifted with the wind.

Gongsun blinked, everyone looked at Bai Yutang, anyone who knew martial arts knew that it was Bai Yutang who did it.

Zhao Zhen looked at Nangong Ji, and Nangong signaled him——Bai Yutang did it.

So Zhao Zhen was puzzled and looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said, "Half of it is secret language, no one can decipher it."

Everyone opened their mouths wide to look at Bai Yutang.

Gongsun nodded, "Yes, it is the secret language of the Eagle Dynasty that has been lost."

Zhao Zhen looked at Bai Yutang, "Young Xia Bai, have you solved it too?"

Bai Yutang picked up the cup and said, "No one in this world can solve it."

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang silently.

Zhao Zhen frowned.

Bai Yutang raised his eyes and looked at him with a tough attitude.

Two words flashed in the minds of everyone present - kind!

Nangong Ji also sweated for Bai Yutang, refuted Zhao Zhen's face face to face, and did not cooperate at all.

Zhao Zhen looked at Bai Yutang for a while, and then at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao silently moved towards Bai Yutang, with an obvious meaning - I'm on his side.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Pu again.

Zhao Pu held the teacup and pretended not to see it.

In fact, Zhao Pu and Zhan Zhao were sitting next to Gongsun just now, and Gongsun had written more than half of it. After reading it, the two of them probably had a good idea, and they both felt that this thing should never be written.But just as they were trying to figure out how to stop it, Bai Yutang had already made a move, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time - as expected, this matter is still suitable for Bai Yutang to do.

Gongsun scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Zhao Zhen, and said, "Actually, I can only decipher half of the whole article, which should be similar to what the emperor asked someone to decipher. The other half is written in the secret language of the Eagle Dynasty that has been lost. , I only recognized a few characters, and I don’t know if they are accurate, so I really can’t figure it out.”

Everyone silently glanced at Gongsun——is this the truth or a lie?

Zhao Zhen wasn't too sure, Gongsun looked quite serious.

At this time, the fourth son suddenly raised his face to look at Gongsun.

Zhao Zhen stroked his chin lightly. Indeed, he had already found a few old masters who were proficient in ancient characters to study, and only half of the content on the scroll was solved, and some key ones were written in the secret language lost by the Eagle Dynasty. , several scholars expressed that they could not solve it.

One of the master Wang said that he had found a pair of calligraphy and painting before, but he couldn't identify the age, so he took it to Kaifeng Mansion and asked Gongsun. Gongsun looked at the inscription and told him that it was from the time of the Eagle Dynasty. It may be one of the few people in the world who understands this kind of writing.Of course, only Gongsun himself knows whether he knows all of them or only a few.

What Bai Yutang deciphered was similar to what Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu saw just now, nearly half of it, but the key ones were all in secret language.The fifth master's purpose of stopping Gongsun is obvious. The secret on this scroll cannot be known to Zhao Zhen, or it cannot be made public. He can just bear the matter of offending the emperor, and there is no need for Gongsun to embarrass him.

Does Gongsun recognize this secret language of the Eagle Dynasty?He does know.

Gongsun had learned from an old man before. The old man came to see Gongsun and couldn't afford the consultation fee, but he didn't want to owe Gongsun a favor.At that time, the fourth son also, probably because of this, the fourth son looked up at Gongsun.

Gongsun saw that the fourth son looked at him, his big eyes were clean, he knew it was bad...

Sure enough, I heard Zhao Zhen laughing and joking with the fourth son, "Your father still has some characters he doesn't know. I think your father knows the characters that no one in the world knows."

Everyone "swipe" and looked at the fourth son.

The fourth son blinked, stretched out his hand and patted Gongsun on the forehead, "It doesn't matter, Daddy, he is a human being."

Everyone was taken aback, what Wuren?moon cake?

Gongsun also tilted his head to look at the fourth son, and then he heard Bai Yutang suddenly say, "No one is perfect."

The fourth son clapped his hands.

Zhan Zhao couldn't hold back, and with a "poof", he hurriedly took out the teacup and drank it.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Pu - you are joining forces to deal with me.

Zhao Pu continued to look up at the sky with his tea cup in his hand - I didn't see anything.

Zhao Zhen was silent for a while, nodded, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I am not too ambitious, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhan Zhao answered, "Don't worry, we will investigate Qige's case."

Zhao Zhen looked at the smiling Zhan Zhao, helplessly, and said to Nangong, "Go back to the palace."

Nangong nodded.

Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to ask Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang to send Zhao Zhen back, but Zhao Zhen grabbed him and pulled him out the door.

Gongsun held the fourth son in his arms and tilted his head to look at Zhao Pu. Everyone silently waved at the Ninth Prince. Zhao Zhen seemed very angry, so he could only trouble Zhao Pu to be a doormat.

Zhao Pu looked up at the sky - where is this going?

After Zhao Pu left, Zhan Zhao stood up, grabbed Yin Hou, went back to the room, and closed the door.

Bai Yutang also stood up, stretched out two hands, grabbed Tianzun and Lu Tianhan, pulled them back into the room, and closed the door.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and Master Wusha reached out to Lin Yehuo.

Lin Yehuo yawned and held the cup, completely unaware of what happened. He tilted his head to look at his master, and patted Master Wusha's stomach as always, "It's good to lose weight!"

The great monk was panting with anger.

But the others huffed and surrounded Master Wusha, which meant—curiosity!Seek to explain!

Yao Changtian walked up to Gongsun, sat down, and asked him, "Who did you learn from?"

Gongsun was stunned, "What are you learning?"

"The secret language of the Eagle Dynasty." Yao Changtian said, "It has been lost for a long time, and even Yin Hou basically doesn't know it."

Probably because of Zhao Pu's relationship, Gongsun was not on guard against Yao Changtian, and replied honestly, "An old man taught me."

Yao Changtian thought for a while, "Does the old man have two tear moles on his left cheek?"

Gongsun nodded.

Yao Changtian murmured to himself, "It's gone wrong, how long ago?"

"Two years ago," Gongsun replied, "he had a strange disease, and he was holding a piece of my address written to him by someone. He was dressed in rags, penniless and skinny. If I don’t charge him money, he insists on teaching me to recognize ancient Chinese characters, but it’s interesting so I’ll learn it.”

The fourth son nodded at the side, "Oh! Grandpa Skeleton."

"Skull..." Yao Changtian said to himself.

Gongsun nodded, "He's as thin as a skeleton, so the fourth son calls him that, he's very kind."

Yao Changtian suddenly laughed, as if amused by Gongsun's words, "Very kind? Haha..."

Gongsun and the fourth son looked at each other—what's so funny?

At the door, Zhao Pu, who was dragged to the corridor by Zhao Zhen, continued to look at the sky.

Zhao Zhen had a dark face.

Zhao Pu poked his shoulder with his finger, "Forget it... Tianzun saved your life, so let's give him face."

Zhao Zhen squinted at Zhao Pu.

"Bai Yutang is from the rivers and lakes, and he is not an official." Zhao Pu spread his hands, which means that if they don't take your salary, they will not give you face, let alone the matter related to Tianzun and Yinhou.

Zhao Zhen frowned, "Master Huang probably died because he found out about this. That's probably what Qi Ge wanted to tell me back then."

"Fortunately Qige didn't succeed." Zhao Pu said to himself.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Pu speechlessly.

Zhao Pu frowned, put one hand on Zhao Zhen's shoulder, and said, "Hey, I'm at least a few years older than you, and I'm your uncle."

Zhao Zhen folded his arms and looked at Zhao Pu—this one?

Zhao Pu had no choice but to persuade him, "I know what you're thinking, but some things that go against common sense are a disaster, not a blessing. If you go against the sky, you will be punished by the gods. Let's see what happens to the Silver Demon King."

Zhao Zhen was silent.

Zhao Pu persuaded him, "Forget it, you don't want to be Emperor Qin and Han Wu, don't think about what you have, it's best to be Emperor Rende."

Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, sighed, then flicked his sleeves, "I don't care, you can solve it." After speaking, he took Nangong and left.

Zhao Pu heaved a sigh of relief, the playful look on his face that persuaded Zhao Zhen just now was gone, he folded his arms and leaned against the pillar in a daze.

Zou Liang came over. He was sitting far away just now, and he didn't quite understand what happened, so he stood beside Zhao Pu and watched him.

Zhao Pu looked at Zou Liang, and suddenly asked him, "If you can turn the world around and change the past, is there anything you want to do?"

Zou Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I want to go back to 20 years ago and prevent my father from entering the sea of ​​ghosts."

Zhao Pu rubbed his eyebrows, "Have you ever thought that if you do this, maybe there will be no such person as Lin Yehuo in the world today, and you may not be who you are today."

Zou Liang nodded, "That's natural, so it's impossible."

Zhao Pu sighed and said to himself, "Impossible..."

Zou Liang looked at Zhao Pu puzzled, "What about you? Do you have a past that you want to change?"

Zhao Pu was silent for a moment, then said, "I will kill anyone who wants to change the past."

Zou Liang was surprised, "So serious?"

Zhao Pu didn't say a word—he was very satisfied with the present, if there was even a slight deviation, he might not meet Gongsun and the fourth son... Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince suddenly covered his chest, "Damn, I'm heartbroken! "
