Remembrance of Tianyin's Adventure

In the afternoon, the sparse sunlight poured on the earth, although it was not clear enough, it swept away the haze after the rain.

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Fuzi had fallen asleep lying on the bedside, knowing how hard it was for him to work all night, he couldn't bear to be alarmed.I didn't have any strength in my body, so I didn't get up.

The silence in the room reminded him in a trance of the time when he devoted himself to enlightenment in the forbidden area of ​​the Tianyin Sect, the master who had just recognized him and left him, and the entrustment of the master when he handed "Remembrance" to him, and suddenly thought of "Remembrance" is no longer in my hands.I remember that at that time, I only went to hunt down Tong Yun, and actually left the score of "Reminiscence" in the stone room.There are many people in the stone room, the ground is full of rocks, and a few thin music scores are scattered in it. If someone tramples and damages him, how can he be worthy of his dead master?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao slapped the bed board and sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy.

When Xiao Fuzi heard the movement, he woke up in a flash, hurriedly got up and supported Zhan Zhao, saw his face was pale and sweaty, and said in shock, "Master Zhan, what's wrong with you? Could it be that your internal injury is hurting again?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, seeing Zhang Long coming in with the medicine, he asked eagerly, "The other day Chunni led the troops to encircle the demon girl, did you go with her?"

Zhang Long had just stepped into the door with one foot, and when he asked such a question without thinking, he was immediately confused, and said in a daze: "No, the princess only brought a few hundred imperial guards."

Zhan Zhao was a little disappointed, and asked: "After the Tianyin faction's stone mansion was sealed, did your lord send you to search it?"

Zhang Long nodded and said: "I and Zhao Hu took people there together." Afraid of Zhan Zhao's further questioning, he quickly stepped forward and brought the medicine bowl in front of Zhan Zhao, saying: "Master Zhan, if you don't drink it, the medicine will be cold." !"

Zhan Zhao asked Xiao Fuzi to take the medicine, and continued to ask Zhang Long: "Have you ever found a few music scores in an open-air stone room?"

Zhang Long didn't have time to think about it, but he heard Gongsun Ce shouting outside the door: "The guard Zhan is looking for "Reminiscence"?" When he came to Zhan Zhao's bed, he flashed a few crumpled papers in his hand in front of his eyes.

Zhan Zhao was overjoyed when he saw it, so he reached out to pick it up.

Gongsun Ce put the score behind his back and said, "Drink the medicine first!"

Zhan Zhao took the medicine bowl from Xiao Fuzi, and drank it all in one go.

Gongsun Ce nodded and said: "That's good." He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and put his fingers on his veins, a smile gradually appeared on his face and said: "That's right, it's much better than yesterday."

Looking at the music score in his other hand, Zhan Zhao said, ""Reminiscence" is not evidence in this case, can you return it to me, sir?"

"Impossible!" Gongsun Ce resolutely said: "Could it be that Guard Zhan forgot why your meridians were injured?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Although "Reminiscence" can hurt people, it is the relic of Master after all, how can I accidentally treasure it?"

Gongsun Ce said: "When Guo Zhongqing handed over "Reminiscence", he once said that without the companionship of the Buddha's music, this music score would never be read!"

"Don't worry sir, I just don't want to read it!" Zhan Zhao said, "I just want to keep it safe."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao spoke sincerely, Gongsun Ce handed "Reminiscence" to him, but he flipped through it as soon as he took it in his hand.

Gongsun Ce was about to reprimand him, but he heard him say: "Sir, don't worry, I'm just checking to see if the score is damaged." As he spoke, he checked each score over and over again, and accidentally found that one of the scores had written on the back. After reading a few lines of small characters carefully, I couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked Gongsun Ce: "Have all the members of the Tianyin Sect ever handed over to the Ministry of Officials?"

Gongsun Ce said: "Tomorrow morning, the Ministry of Officials will send someone to pick it up!"

Zhan Zhao murmured: "Fortunately, he is still in the mansion." Immediately he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

Gongsun Ce hurriedly stopped him, and said with a downcast face, "It's just getting better, where are we going?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Go to see Mu Wuxin in the prison!"

Gongsun Ce advised: "Why rush?"

Zhan Zhao said: "This is a major event of the Tianyin Sect, we must not delay it!" Feeling anxious, he couldn't help coughing a few more times.

Gongsun Ce couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Forget it! He is not an important criminal in this case, I will let him come out to see you for now." He said to Zhang Long: "Go to the prison and bring Mu Wuxin here!" Zhang Long took the order and hurried out.

Not long after, Mu Wuxin was brought in, and Gongsun Ce took Zhang Long to leave together because it was inconvenient to interfere with the internal affairs of the Tianyin Sect.Zhan Zhao also sent Xiao Fuzi out, leaving only him and Mu Wuxin in the room.Because Xiao Fuzi was ordered to take care of Zhan Zhao, he didn't dare to stay away for a moment, so he waited not far from the door.

Mu Wuxin wanted to salute Zhan Zhao, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao, and the two sat down at the table together.Zhan Zhao didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly handed "Reminiscence" to Mu Wuxin, and asked him to read the small print on the back.

After Mu Wuxin watched it, he knew what it meant, and cupped his hands and said, "When the past heads of this school take over, the previous heads will always tell the new head the secrets of the Tianyin Sect, but it's a pity that the head of Situ left in a hurry..." Both Mu Han said sadly: "When Sect Leader Situ completed "Reminiscence", he knew that his fate was not long. At that time, there was no suitable candidate to succeed the Sect Leader, so we had to first tell the secret of our sect to my subordinates, and when the new Sect Leader was confirmed in the future. I will pass it on to you below."

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Master must have relied heavily on you for being able to tell Director Mu the secret of our sect."

"Sect Leader Situ did it as a last resort." Mu Wuxin sighed: "Although the secrets of our sect are not shady, they are not enough for outsiders. Hand, won't the secret be leaked?"

"I don't know what the secret is?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Mu Wuxin thought of the secret history of the founding of the Tianyin School, and said sadly: "At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was defeated and captured. Poetry and music are very obsessed. The founder of our school is Qin Huainan, the son of Qin Huan, the most favored court musician around him. The only copy of the music scores of the past dynasties left the Marquis Mansion and hid in the mountains all his life. When the patriarch became an adult, the matter of Li Houzhu had passed, and the old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty would no longer be implicated. The patriarch sold all his property and his father's previous income He built a stone mansion in a remote place outside the city of Kaifeng, and founded the Tianyin School from then on."

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It turns out that the ancestor of Tianyin School was an ex-official of the Southern Tang Dynasty. No wonder there are so many masterpieces in the Shifu, and it's no wonder that Tianyin School's mission is to 'beneficial to the people of the world'."

"The sect leader doesn't know anything, the sect's secrets are far more than that." Mu Wuxin took out a key from his sleeve, handed it to Zhan Zhao and said, "The sect master is in the forbidden area of ​​our sect, have you ever seen a white jade key?" Guqin?" Seeing Zhan Zhao nodded, he continued: "The jade qin is hollow, and there is a keyhole at the end, you can use this key to open it!"

Zhan Zhao thought to himself: "That day I was absorbed in studying the mystery in the forbidden area, but I didn't notice the strangeness of this piano." He asked, "What is hidden in it?"

Mu Wuxin said: "After Tongyun jumped off the cliff, the stone mansion I sent was sealed up by the Kaifeng mansion. If the master can send someone to fetch the white jade guqin, you will know when you open it."

Zhan Zhao wondered: "Mr. Mu told me the contents of the qin, so why should I take the qin?" He asked, "Could it be that the contents of the Guqin are very important, and Mr. Mu is afraid that it will fall into the hands of outsiders? "

"Exactly!" Mu Wuxin said: "The thing in the qin is related to the survival of the Tianyin Sect, I hope the master must get the qin as soon as possible and keep it properly!"

Knowing that what he said was true, Zhan Zhao didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately called Xiao Fuzi in, and asked him to call Zhang Long to send Mu Wuxin back to the prison, and then went to Bao Zheng's study with all his clothes on.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's improvement, Bao Zheng was very pleased, and thinking that the white jade guqin had nothing to do with this case, he agreed to Zhan Zhao's request, and immediately sent Chao Chao to the Tianyin Sect's forbidden area to take the Guqin back to the government office.

In the evening, when the cicadas were singing and the sky was full of red clouds, Wang Chao hurried to Zhan Zhao's bedroom with a red sandalwood piano box on his back, and handed him the white jade guqin inside.At this time, Chengyin was beside Zhan Zhao, he was curious and wanted to see Guqin, but Zhan Zhao persuaded him to go out.Xiao Fuzi wanted to stay and wait on him, but Zhan Zhao also sent him away.

Zhan Zhao saw that there was no one else in the room, so he took out the key and inserted it into the hole in the end of the piano. He only heard a "click", and felt that the back of the piano was loose.So he stood the qin on its side, opened the jade plate on the back of the qin, reached in, and found a yellowed booklet. Although the paper was old, it was not damaged, but the cover was empty.Looking through it carefully by candlelight, I found that it was originally a note written by Qin Huan, the father of the founder of the Tianyin School.At the end of the reading, he found that the style of writing changed suddenly, and Zhan Zhao finally understood why this diary was related to the survival of the sect.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce came to see Zhan Zhao after finishing their duties, and they were puzzled to see Xiao Fuzi wandering anxiously outside the door. Bao Zheng asked, "Can Zhan's guard be in the room?" Xiao Fuzi nodded and remained silent.

Gongsun Ce said, "Why don't you come in and wait on me?"

With a helpless expression on his face, Xiao Fuzi complained again and again: "When Mr. Zhan got the white jade guqin, he sent the little one out. He also ordered that if it was not on official business, he should not go in and disturb him, and he would not even serve tea. An hour has passed, and the dinner is over. After reheating twice, you can’t eat it again!”

Hearing what he said, Gongsun Ce expected that the matter of the Tianyin Sect must be a bit tricky, so it would be inappropriate to go in and disturb Zhan Zhao at this moment.But he hasn't eaten much since he woke up in the afternoon, if he doesn't have dinner, how can he make it?Let him go down like this, I'm afraid he won't even bother to drink the medicine.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce was about to open the door and enter, when he heard a "squeak", the door opened from the inside, and Zhan Zhao came out to welcome him, nodding his head and saying, "My lord! Sir!" He waved his hands to invite the two of them in.

Xiao Fuzi said happily: "My lord and my husband probably didn't have dinner, so I'll go and order the meal to be prepared." Turning around, he ran towards the dining room.

Zhan Zhao invited the two to sit down, and before they could open their mouths, he handed Qin Huan's notes to them.The two turned to the back, both of them looked shocked.

The following article mainly records Li Houzhu's strategy of governing the country, as well as his daily words and deeds.In Qin Huan's account, Li Houzhu is not only a faint king who is obsessed with poetry, painting and melody, but also a wise ruler who is diligent in government, loves the people, and practices benevolence and righteousness.The last few pages of the notes boldly assert that the "Chenqiao Mutiny" was planned by Song □□, and speculated that Chai Zongxun was forced to become Zen, and even questioned Song □□'s cause of death.

After reading it, they were speechless for a long time.After a long time, Gongsun Ce said: "Although the things mentioned in it are disrespectful to the current dynasty, they are not groundless."

Bao Zheng saw Zhan Zhao's concerns and said, "Since ancient times, some folks have written unofficial histories. It is not surprising that the content is contrary to the official history of the imperial court. It's just that although there is no objection to this notebook, there are many disrespectful words. The government will not report it. The imperial court, but if this diary is inadvertently passed on to the present world, the Tianyin Sect may suffer catastrophe."

Zhan Zhao said: "Fortunately, this diary has only been handed down to one head of our sect."

"We still have to be cautious!" Bao Zheng still couldn't help worrying about Zhan Zhao.

Gongsun Ce Fuxu said: "Thousands of years later, if this diary can be handed down, it will be a good lesson for future generations."

Outside the door, Little Fuzi looked up at the stars in the sky, and murmured to himself: "Hey! I expected my lord and my husband to persuade you to eat early, which is good. The three of them closed the door and talked for so long. Have you eaten?"

At this moment, seeing Chen Lin, the chief eunuch, coming to deliver the decree, he hurriedly notified him and led him to Jin Zhao's room.

Chen Lin didn't pay attention to the notes on the table, and asked directly: "Has the guard Zhan's injury ever healed?"

Gongsun Ce wanted to answer, but Zhan Zhao said first, "He has already recovered, and Eunuch Lao is worried."

Chen Lin nodded gratifiedly and said, "That's good!" Immediately she raised her voice and said, "Pass down the Queen Mother's order, and order Zhan's guards to play chess with the Queen Mother at the Panxiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden tomorrow!" Seeing Zhan Zhao's surprised face, he smiled and said, "Zhan Zhao Guard, why don't you hurry up and receive the order?"

Before Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, he heard Chen Lin say again: "Everyone knows that Nan Xia is calm and not surprised by favor or humiliation, but why is he afraid of seeing the Queen Mother?" There was a smile in his eyes looking at Zhan Zhao.

Seeing his sharp words, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to say modestly, "I'm not good at chess, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Queen Mother."

Chen Lin said meaningfully: "It doesn't matter whether your chess skills disappoint the Queen Mother, as long as there are some things that don't disappoint the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao felt even more disturbed, and couldn't help but look at Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce.The eyes of the two responded, but they were helpless.
