Infinite Throne

  Chapter 910 The ancient temple is still there today, and the old man returns to the west

   "Senior brother, don't believe it," Xia Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the reason at the time, her chest rose and fell, she pointed at Yi Rin's nose seriously: "The magic stick is fooling you!"

  Xia Xiaoman learned a lot of new vocabulary from Yi Rin,

   The word "flickering" is used here, and the context is appropriate.

   But Yi Rin was a little puzzled, not to mention that this "magic stick" is actually unwarranted,

  Take a step back, he was really fooled by the magic stick, what's your business?

  Since Xia Xiaoman has repeatedly confirmed that there is no character named "Xia Ruxue" in the Dagan Palace, Yi Rin can only put this question back to the bottom of his heart for a while, and go to Xia's ancestral temple to check when he has time.

  …

  After the three were settled in Yingxue Pavilion, the news that the Princess Dagan "resurrected from the dead" and returned to Qingdu spread throughout the city overnight.

   In the palace, many concubines and concubines of late emperors and relatives of the royal family politely sent boxes of gift boxes.

  Yi Rin opened it for Xia Xiaoman and saw that there were many kinds of congratulatory gifts in those gift boxes, including silk and satin, rare medicinal materials, exquisite swords, rouge gouache, and precious jewelry.

  Xia Xiaoman has no habit of putting on makeup and dressing up on weekdays, and is used to being poor. Furthermore, at this time, the Dagan Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, the war was raging outside, the vassal kings revolted, and she couldn't be happy no matter how many gifts she received.

  …

   "Why did you shave your head and escape from Qingdu?"

   Looking at the unhappy little junior sister sitting in the pile of gifts, Yi Rin inquired while casually smelling left and right in the pile of precious medicinal herbs, looking for medicinal herbs that could be made into seasoning powder.

  The master of soul cooking, Irin is destined to be on the road of pursuing delicious food all his life.

  Xia Xiaoman glared at Senior Brother: "Senior Brother, can you stop talking about shaving your head?"

   "Okay, I promise not to mention you shaving your head again." Yi Rin nodded and agreed, "So, why did you shave your head in the first place?"

  "..." Xia Xiaoman gritted his teeth, Jin Dan's cultivation level swayed, and accidentally crushed a brocade box containing the Nanzhan Buzhou Night Pearl, and even the box with the beads shattered.

   She then decided not to worry too much about this hateful senior brother, and explained the reason for her escape from Qingdu.

   "Three years ago, Xiaoman shaved his head... Ah bah bah bah, Xiaoman left Qing because of…"

  …

   said that in those days,

   It was a dark and windy night for a month.

  Xia Xiaoman was sleeping soundly in the deep palace.

  A palace maid quietly slipped into Xia Xiaoman's Yingxue Pavilion, saying that it was the backhand left by the late emperor and wanted to take her away from Qingdu. At that time, Xia Xiaoman was unwilling, but the palace maid was not an ordinary person, so he subdued Xia Xiaoman in an instant, flew over the eaves, walked over the wall, and carried Xia Xiaoman to Ping An Temple.

   It is not clear what happened to Xia Xiaoman. When she woke up again, the mysterious palace maid changed her into a novice dress, shaved her head, and left Qingdu overnight with a group of monks.

   On the way, Chan Master Kuye personally handed over the national treasure of the Dagan Dynasty, that is, the Royal Seal of the Emperor, to Xia Xiaoman.

At this point, Yi Rin finally understood how Xia Xiaoman escaped from Qingdu by being shaved four years ago. After pondering for a while, Yi Rin wondered: "Wait, how could the Imperial Seal of Humanity be in the hands of Zen Master Kuye? ?"

   "Human Emperor Seal?" Xia Xiaoman didn't seem to know the real name of the legendary item, and said strangely, "That's the Zhenguo Jade Seal..."

   "Yes, why is the Jade Seal of Zhenguo in the hands of Zen Master Kuye?"

  Xia Xiaoman shook his head, expressing ignorance. In fact, four years ago, after she had her head shaved, she was also stunned when she took the Zhenguo Jade Seal from Zen Master Kuye. Xia Xiaoman said: "Including me, everyone thinks that after the death of the father and emperor, it was passed on to my younger brother Ji'er."

  Irin heard the words and thought deeply: "That is to say, Zen master Kuye will know something about the origin of the jade seal of the town. It seems that it is necessary to go to Heian Temple."

  By the way, we can also find Wang Xiaohu, who has been away for four years, to see how he is doing now.

  …

   But I haven't had time to go to Heianji,

   On the side of the palace, another strange thing happened.

  The news of the eldest princess, returning from the dead and returning to Qingdu, should be spread throughout the palace and beyond.

   But her younger brother, Xia Jisheng, never came to Yingxue Pavilion to visit his sister, leaving Xia Xiaoman in the deep palace.

   This drying is three days.

Every time Xia Xiaoman proposed to see Xia Jisheng, the right prime minister who was in charge of internal affairs came to Yingxue Pavilion immediately and informed Xia Xiaoman that he was currently engaged in civil war and that Emperor Jisheng was inspecting the military camp and had no time to meet. Guest cloud.

   Later, the right prime minister changed several excuses, either reviewing the memorial and approving that it was not suitable to meet the eldest princess late at night, or the dragon was not in good health and contracted the cold and it was not suitable to receive guests. Later, Xia Xiaoman became anxious, but the right prime minister said that Emperor Jisheng and the empress dowager were not in Qingdu now, and they had a secret to go out.

   When the Prime Minister, who was stopped by Xia Xiaoman, stepped out of the door again, Jian Nanchun and Yi Rin looked at each other and said at the same time, "There is something tricky!"

Xia Xiaoman was not stupid, so she naturally noticed that the Prime Minister Right's repeated obstructions must be strange, but after she returned to the Qingdu Palace, she repositioned herself as the "eldest princess" in her words and deeds, and wanted to see herself. When he was a younger brother, he always followed the process and reported in advance... so that Xia Xiaoman has not been able to see his own younger brother so far.

   The status of this "eldest princess" is useless.

   At the beginning, Yi Rin also felt that it was better to follow the rules and procedures, and the face of the emperor today still has to be given some points.

  But after three days of drying, Irin felt that this face could not be given.

   "Do you remember when Li Qianqian said in the Black Wind Sand Sea that the two concubine Shu and the emperor who were in the Dagan Palace three years ago were fake?" Yi Rin thought of this.

   Jian Nanchun frowned and interjected, "Isn't this normal?"

"Human nature is right. It's normal to find a substitute to stand in front of fire, theft, and assassination. If I were the emperor, I might find more substitutes than him." Yi Rin smiled: "But look at it now. Come on, it doesn't seem that simple. Did you notice that the Prime Minister Right's reaction was a little weird on the day when Junior Sister came back?"

  Xia Xiaoman was slightly startled: "Weird?"

  Jian Nanchun lowered his head, his eyebrows stretched: "So it is! It's really worthy of being Junior Brother Lin!"

  Xia Xiaoman: "I said it's about time, don't you play dumb riddles? You're almost dead!"

Yi Rin explained: "Didn't you notice that the day you came back, the Shenwu Army saw you all the way, and it was like seeing a ghost. After all, three years ago, you were confirmed to be clinically dead, so maybe they will be seated together. They're all full."

   "So?" Xia Xiaoman still didn't understand the deep meaning of his brother's words.

   Jiannanchun smiled lightly: "But then Prime Minister, when he saw you, he was too calm."

  …

   There are a lot of problems at the moment.

   Even Xia Xiaoman didn't know what he was going down the mountain for this time.

   In the words of Jian Nanchun, the annihilation of great powers and the replacement of dynasties are the general trend, and the astrological signs are already foreshadowing. And can a Jindan cultivator in Xia Xiaoman district stop this historical tide?

   Jian Nanchun felt that he could not.

   It's just that Xia Xiaoman, in addition to being the Jindan cultivator of Tianjianmen, has another identity, that is, the eldest princess of Dagan, the current emperor's sister. From this level of identity, if she doesn't do something, it's a bit unreasonable.

   After several discussions, Brother Lin Yi, who was still the most resourceful and insidious, gave an idea.

"Well, the war is raging outside, it's the military's business, and we can't control it. But as the saying goes, know the destiny, do your best, and do what you can. If you don't work hard, you will always have regrets. After returning to Qingdu for three days, at present There are three doubts in front of us, we can act separately and solve the problems in front of us first.”

   "One, I'm going to Ping'an Temple to find Zen Master Kuye and Xiaohu to reminisce about the old days. By the way, I would like to ask why Emperor Xia Yuan hid the Zhenguo Jade Seal in advance and handed it over to his junior sister four years ago;"

   "Second, Senior Brother Jian, go check it out, what's wrong with the Prime Minister on the right side;"

   "Third, Junior Sister Xiaoman's side is simple, just go and find out your brother. Whether it's a stand-in or not, turn it over and talk about it."

   Yi Rin temporarily came up with an idea, Xia Xiaoman nodded again and again, feeling his head in a mess, the toilet suddenly opened, and he was suddenly enlightened.

   "But..." Xia Xiaoman came to the question: "I'm not good at investigating!"

  Irin looked at his junior sister in puzzlement, and there seemed to be four words in her eyes, "Are you stupid?"

   "When did I ask you to honestly investigate?"

"That…?"

   "You are a Jindan cultivator now! Don't always think of yourself as an ordinary person! Ask directly! Do you understand by throwing stones for directions? Do you understand when you draw your sword? The truth is within range, do you understand?"

   "Huh?" Xia Xiaoman was dumbfounded when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

  The simple and rough plan was formulated in this way, there is no twist and turn.

   On the day,

   At dusk, when Qingdu was covered with a golden glow, Irin came to Heian Temple alone.

  In the courtyard of Heian Temple, many tall pine trees were planted. After the cold winter and early spring, the pine trees in Manting were bald a lot. From time to time, dry leaves fell, and new shoots were stubbornly growing on the treetops. They are showing a picture of withering and new life coexisting.

   Sanliang monks, dressed in simple linen clothes, are cleaning the courtyard.

  A monk with a handsome face came to Yilin, first said Amitabha, and then asked Yilin why he came.

   Yilin folded her hands together, smiled, and replied, "Young Master Lao announced that a friend has come from afar, asking to see Chan Master Kuye."

"Master Dry Leaf..." What Yi Rin didn't expect was that when he mentioned the name of Chan Master Dry Leaf, the little monk lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly: "The donor is late. As early as three years ago, Dry Leaf The Zen master has passed away, and he has ascended to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
