"But if Yuanjie is from Suizhou, when did Master know him?" Qinyao was confused. In the past eleven years, she had never seen Master and Yuanjie interact with each other. This was the first time they had social contact. , it was still to deal with Rakshasa together last time.
And the two of them obviously don't get along. As long as they get together, there will always be quarrels and bickering.
"One time, the master scolded Lin Xiao very fiercely." Qin Yao said to Lin Xiao, "He even cursed the word 'get out'. I don't know what the two of them were arguing about. I heard the master say that even if he smashed into a mountain of gold and silver, There is no need for Pratyekabuddha to meddle in other people¡¯s business¡ª¡ª¡±
Just as he was halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes quickly widened in shock, and he completely forgot to continue.
Lin Xiao¡¯s thoughts still stayed on Qin Yao¡¯s words.
??Mountains of gold and silver? Qing Xuzi was not one of those spendthrift people. No matter whether he was dealing with others or himself, he was stingy and stingy. What kind of spending should be described as a mountain of gold and silver?
Turning around, she saw Qin Yao tilting her head in confusion and frowning, as if she was trying to recall something, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" He couldn't help but leaned forward and stretched out his fingers to help her stroke her brow, as if this action could help her. Qin Yao brushed away her sorrowful thoughts.
Qin Yao came back to her senses and wanted to speak, but paused again. She quickly cleared her messy thoughts and then spoke again: "I just remembered that when Master was arguing with Yuan Jie, he blurted out a name. At that time, there was only one person in the room. There is no one else but Master and Pratyekabuddha. Now that I think about it, is it possible that that name is the lay name of Pratyekabuddha?¡±
Lin Xiao was surprised by this discovery and asked: "Do you still remember that name?"
If Qinyao can remember it, it will be of great help to them in finding out the details of Pratyekabuddha.
Qinyao thought for a while, shook her head in frustration and said, "It's been several months, and I really can't remember it."
Lin Xiao patted her shoulder soothingly, "It doesn't matter. Even if it is really the lay name of Yuatekyu, twenty years have passed and he has deliberately tried to cover it up. We may not be able to find any clues."
After a pause, he continued: "But since the Taoist Master knows the common name of Pratye-Awaka, he wanted to know him before becoming a monk, but for some unknown reason, he pretended not to know each other."
Qin Yao's eyes were full of worry, "What do you think Master is hiding from me? Why is he so angry every time I ask about it? I always feel that Master is hiding something very important in his heart." , even if he loses his life because of it, he may not be willing to tell it."
She had no idea how to deal with her master's stubbornness. Every time she talked about it, she would inevitably feel resentful.
Lin Xiao said nothing, life is important, but for some people, some things are above life. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, nor does it matter whether it is worth it or not. When the time comes, they can always give it up. Everything to stick to.
Thinking about it, although Qing Xuzi is a member of the Taoist sect, he may not be able to break through the desires in the mortal world and get rid of the demonic obstacles in his heart.
But there is no way to tell Qin Yao this, after all, she trusts her master so much.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't answer, Qin Yao also fell silent and snuggled into Lin Xiao's arms, thinking dullly.
It always gets dark early in the winter in Chang'an. Because of the strong night wind, winter nights often appear cold and gloomy.
But tonight is an exception. There are no clouds in the night sky. The moon is hiding somewhere, but the stars are like scattered snow on the black velvet cloth, extremely dazzling.
Because it was still early, when they arrived at Prince Lan's Mansion, the two got off the car. They saw that the weather was not as cold and hard as usual. They both lost the urgency of rushing on a cold night and had the leisure of enjoying the scenery on a spring night.
Qin Yao even used the cover of her sleeves to quietly hold Lin Xiao's hand with a smile, and the two walked along the flower path to the inner courtyard.
Lin Xiao noticed that her warm fingers were holding him. There was no change on his face, but his heart was filled with happy vines. He felt that the white marble bricks under his feet were a little more vivid than usual. He wished he could keep walking on this road. good.
The scent of unknown flowers floated in the air, and there was silence all around. There was only the sound of two people's shoes stepping on the ground, which was indescribably peaceful and peaceful.
When he walked to the Yanbo Pavilion, Lin Xiao saw that the surface of the Youdang Lake was shining like silver satin under the sky full of stars. It was really as beautiful as an illusion. His heart moved, and he pulled Qinyao towards the pavilion in the center of the lake, saying: "Tonight there is no chance. The wind is not afraid of blowing you, let¡¯s go for a walk by the lake.¡±
Qinyao smiled and nodded.
Along the winding corridor to the waterside pavilion, Lin Xiao pulled Qin Yao and sat down by the railing in the pavilion. He shook her hand and made sure that her hand was as warm as ever. He felt relieved and asked her: "Do you still remember that you were there?" That time when Zuixiang Pavilion listened to the show?"
Qinyao thought for a while, "How could you not remember?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????That was the first time the two of them joined forces, and what they were dealing with at that time was Ms. Cui's fake natal familysp; However, Lin Xiao pulled her towards the house where the female officer slept.
Qin Yao was a little confused at first. When she arrived at a small courtyard and walked up the steps to a row of closed doors, she suddenly realized, "Is this the house of Ms. Lu?"
Lin Xiao hummed. When he was at Duke Lu's mansion in the afternoon, he had already found out from his aunt that the small courtyard in front of the student dormitory was the female officer's dormitory, and the row of wing rooms inside, second from the left, was where female officer Lu lived during her lifetime.
Lin Xiao didn't rush to lead Qin Yao in, and checked the arrangement of the doors and windows of the dormitory outside. He saw that there was no space between the two adjacent dormitories and they were closely connected. After thinking for a while, he opened the door and went in.
There are two rooms inside and outside. The outside is the living room, with a round table and a circle of spring stools in the middle, but the inside is the bedroom.
The body of Ms. Lu was found above the round table.
When she hanged herself, she specially placed a spring stool on the table in order to be able to reach the rafters. Since the two dormitories were very close to each other, the female officer next door heard the sound of the spring stool being kicked down and was frightened at that time. Jump.
But because it was dawn and it was very dark and cold outside, she was a little afraid and did not dare to come over to check.
When many people got up, the female officer became more courageous, and then she came and knocked on the door, but Ms. Lu was already dead.
Everything in the house was placed in its original place, and there were no signs of fighting or rummaging. There were no signs of struggle on Ms. Lu¡¯s body. It was clear at a glance that she had hanged herself.
But because it was related to the prestige of the Royal Academy, Liu Zan had to intervene in the matter and transported the body of Lady Lu to Dali Temple for autopsy. He must give an explanation to the emperor.
Before leaving, Qin Yao took a closer look at the house to make sure there was no evil spirit, and then she followed Lin Xiao out of the academy.
"We have to find a way to see Miss Lu's body." Although she found nothing in the academy, Qin Yao was not discouraged at all, "It was too coincidental that she died. We only exorcised evil spirits in the academy the first night. The next day He hanged himself at dawn, and later the academy was banned because of the matter. We couldn't find out more about it. I always felt that there was something weird in it. If the academy is really related to the female dormitory in Dou Su, then the death of Miss Lu It¡¯s possible that it has something to do with the devil.¡±
Lin Xiao said: "But if the academy is really a hiding place for evil spirits, why is there no evil atmosphere at all?"
Qin Yao was stunned. Yes, since the academy was banned, neither Yuanyuejie nor the Taoist priests could enter. It stands to reason that where the female dormitory is, the yin energy is bound to be continuous. It is impossible for it to be so clean. Who has the ability to do that? Breaking into the academy and swaggeringly clearing away evil obstacles?
"I can only say that either my method is wrong." She said with some frustration, "Or that method is right, but I don't know where something went wrong, causing the female dormitory to deviate from its position, so the academy was moved It was mistaken for the place where the hostel is."
Will that be the case? Lin Xiao secretly thought, whether the ghosts appeared in the academy earlier or Qing Xuzi's behavior in the academy that night, they clearly indicated that there was a problem in the academy. Why, after being banned for a period of time, the academy, which was supposed to be filled with resentful spirits, instead It has become so pure that it is impossible to raise suspicions. If you think about it carefully, you feel that it is deliberate.
"Ayao." He suddenly came up with a guess, "Do you know if there is a Taoist technique in this world that can cover up evil spirits and make people mistake a place with evil spirits as a place without evil spirits?"
"You mean the spirit-obstructing technique?" Qin Yao said in shock.
Lin Xiao was also stunned. He didn't expect that such a technique existed in the world. "What is the spirit-obstructing technique?"
"It can be regarded as a Taoist spell." Qin Yao looked solemn, "The person who performs the spell sets a barrier on the outside, which can cover up the original evil spirit. However, this method requires extremely high Taoist skills of the caster. It is not a spiritual practice. Taoist priests who have been working for many years cannot do it, and the materials used are extremely precious. Just dyeing gold sand will cost countless silver taels. That's it. I heard that this formation will not last long, and it will have to be re-arranged every once in a while. It is extremely difficult. A method of perseverance. I only accidentally saw it once in a fragment of the book left by my ancestor. I have never seen this kind of formation since I learned the skill from my master. I am afraid it has become extinct. .¡±
After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao was silent, and he understood and said, "Are you saying that someone in the academy has set up a spiritual barrier?"
Lin Xiao was silent for a while and then said: "As you said, from the time you and the Taoist priest discovered the evil spirit escaping from the academy to the time when Miss Lu hanged herself, it was just a night. I still remember that night the garden was full of wandering resentful spirits. , Chi Xiao even started to sound the warning when he was still outside the academy. But when he returned to the academy tonight, there was no evil spirit¡ª¡ª"
"You mean there are people who don't want us to find out there's a problem with the academy?" Qin Yao's heart jumped. If that's the case, there might be something wrong with Officer Lu's death.
There was a stern look in Lin Xiao's eyes. Who could break through the defense of the Royal Forest Army and sneak into the academy to kill people quietly?
