16 Eight Eyes Picture
Bai Yutang, Pang Yu, and Gongsun arrived at Wu Ming's study. The study had been abandoned for a long time and was tightly locked to prevent anyone from entering. When Bai Yutang picked the door lock, he took a look and found that the door lock was different... It was a homemade lock with superb skills. Just the mechanisms in the lock showed that the maker was no ordinary person.
"Is Wu Ming proficient in mechanisms?" Bai Yutang turned around and asked Pang Yu.
"Well... when I was a kid, I would often make gadgets to make my sister happy." Pang Yu touched his chin, "Maybe he is good at it."
Open the door, You can smell a light, old smell, and the long-lasting fragrance of fine sandalwood.
"A lot of thought went into collecting books." Gongsun walked to the bookcase, "This bookshelf is made of good wood, so the books are well preserved."
Pang Yu followed Bai Yu After Tang walked into the room, he glanced at the picture of beauties visiting the garden on the wall, and said twice, "Wu Ming, this guy is so horny. He loves my sister's tigress to death. He is really stubborn. I'd rather find someone else to try." . He is also a great talent. If my sister had not fallen in love with the emperor, my father would have wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. It is a pity."
Bai Yutang and Gongsun looked at him speechlessly, and they didn't care. My sister's name is Tigress.
The fourth son also followed in, looked around in the room with his face raised, and reached out to grab the hem of Bai Yutang's clothes, "Bai Bai, look at the roof."
Bring a The advantage of a child entering the house is that he will pay attention to the ground and overhead that adults rarely pay attention to.
Bai Yutang raised his face and saw many straw men hanging on the roof of the study. These straw men had strange shapes, some were stained with blood, and some had their limbs torn off. They were very evil.
"Why hang up a straw man?" Bai Yutang frowned.
"That kid Wu Ming doesn't curse people randomly, does he?" Pang Yu touched his neck.
"These straw men are not used to harm people, but to save them." Gongsun seemed to have some understanding of this and asked Bai Yutang to pick one off.
"Isn't this the kind of doll used for curses?" Pang Yu was curious.
Bai Yutang jumped up to the roof, untied the rope from the hanging beam and lowered a straw man. At the same time... he noticed a small wooden box hidden against the wall on the inner layer of the hanging beam.
What must be hidden here must be something important. He reached out and took it out, then landed on the ground.
"Can this straw man save people?" Pang Yu looked at it and saw some days and hours written on it.
"Are these birth dates?" Bai Yutang looked at the string of characters that looked like ghostly drawings.
"Don't break it off!" Gongsun quickly stopped Pang Yu from pulling the birthday numbers on the back of the straw man with multiple hands. "This is to ward off evil spirits." He said, giving the straw man to Bai Yutang, "Hang it again Go back."
Bai Yutang nodded and hung up.
Pang Yu held his chin and wondered, "How come these birth dates are so familiar?"
"How can a straw man ward off evil spirits?" Bai Yutang put the wooden box on the table. Bian asked Gongsun.
“This is only for people who can deduce calculations.” Gongsun said, “First use the other person’s birth date to calculate good or bad luck, then make a straw man and paste the birth date on the body of that person. Then write On a bad day when misfortune occurs, pray again... until that day, this straw man will accept the misfortune on behalf of the original living person, such as the bloody disaster."
"No wonder the few before, Either it was deformed by water or burned by fire." Pang Yu looked at it and suddenly slapped his head, "Look at my memory, that's my sister's birthday!"
"So... Is Wu Ming making a straw man to help Concubine Pang ward off the evil?" Gongsun raised his face and looked over one by one, "No wonder Concubine Pang has been able to turn misfortune into good fortune for so many years. Everyone thinks that she has a good life and someone is secretly blessing her. "
Bai Yutang used a silver needle to pry open the copper lock on the small box, opened the box and took a look... There was a key inside the box.
Scooped up the key and looked at it, "It's a very old thing."
"What key?" Gongsun thought the key had a strange shape and couldn't understand it.
The two people here are studying the keys. On the other side, Pang Yu is standing on the table with the fourth child on his shoulders. "Did you see it?"
"See it." Arrive." The fourth son is helping Pang Yu check the time on the straw man in case anything happens to Concubine Pang in the near future.
"Here!" Xiao Sizi suddenly reached out and pointed at one of the paper figures with a knife stuck in his chest, "Today's one!"
Gongsun took a look and remembered If the maid hadn't fallen down just now, Concubine Pang might have been in danger, and the maid did help Concubine Pang fend off an evil spirit... Could this really be something magical?
Bai Yutang couldn't help but frown, "There is another person here!" Xiaosizi pointed at the person behind the straw man, "There is nothing up there, the time is today."
Pang Yu was stunned for a long time, "Today too?"
"Yes." The fourth son nodded.
Bai Yutang and Gongsun looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
Pang Yu threw the fourth son to Bai Yutang, got off the table and went to Concubine Pang's residence in the backyard.
Bai Yutang put away the key. He was not too worried because there were a large number of shadow guards arranged near Concubine Pang's residence. After placing the fourth son on the ground, Bai Yutang saw that the legs of a table diagonally below seemed to be a little shorter. There was a piece of sheepskin folded into a square underneath... was it used to pad the table legs?
He reached out and pulled out the sheepskin, opened it, and saw writing on it.
Bai Yutang handed the sheepskin to Gongsun.
Gongsun opened it and took a look, frowning, "This is incredible."
"What?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
"This was written by Wu Ming back then. It mainly wrote about some things he investigated. It can be said to be his suicide note..."
"He has already figured out what he has done. Will he die at that time?"
"Yes, he only found half of what he investigated before." Gongsun quickly read the letter, "He speculated that there would be a big disaster, but he didn't guess the time. "
"Speculation?" Bai Yutang asked, "What kind of disaster? A natural disaster?"
"He only wrote about the disaster." Gongsun said with a serious expression. The sheepskin was handed over to Bai Yutang, "The disaster is - dreams and eyes"
"Dream eyes? Could it be related to the nightmare?" Bai Yutang looked at the sheepskin, with some disbelief in his eyes. Come on, "Is this kind of calculation and deduction really accurate?"
Gongsun smiled slightly, "It's a matter of opinion."
"There is something behind!" The fourth son stood between the two. , he was short, and when he raised his head, he saw the back of the sheepskin.
Gongsun and Bai Yutang turned the sheepskin over and looked at the light... They saw a pattern there. The structure of this picture is complex, but a four-leaf clover in the middle still caught the attention of Bai Yutang and Gongsun.
"Could it be related to the Four-leaf Sect?"
"Look carefully next to the four-leaf clover." Gongsun asked Bai Yutang to look carefully, "Does it look like there are eight clovers surrounding it?" Eyes!"
Bai Yutang frowned and touched his eyebrows, "Does the so-called disaster of the Eight Eyes mean the Nightmare and the Eight Eyes?"
Gongsun's face is not very good either - he has eight eyes in troubled times, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Zhao Pu.
The two people here were just wondering. Suddenly, they heard a commotion in the yard, and someone shouted, "There is an assassin!"
Bai Yutang immediately ran out and Gongsun hugged him. Looking at the little fourth son, the little fourth son saw a string of blood beads left on the left chest of the empty straw man just now.
"Ah!" The fourth son shouted in surprise. Gongsun looked back and was also surprised.
At this time, Bai Yutang had already climbed to the roof and discovered that the accident was in the backyard. When he arrived, the shadow guards were besieging a man in black.
Seeing that he probably couldn't run away, Bai Yutang hurried to the inner room and saw Concubine Pang crying beside Xiangxiang's little bed. Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat. When he went over and took a look, Xiangxiang was lying there with her eyes closed, and there was a big hole in the clothes on her chest.
He took a breath and stretched out his hand to feel it, and found that the pulse was stable. Looking again...Xiangxiang smacked her lips. She made a fist with her little hand and turned over. There was something bright inside her clothes.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and pulled it out... and saw a breast shield with a hole cut out.
"Xiangxiang is fine." Bai Yutang helped Concubine Pang up and saw someone sitting under Concubine Pang's butt, it was Pang Yu.
Pang Yu had an arrow stuck in his butt, which was so painful that it started to bleed. He was moaning and asking if his sister was okay. Are his niece and future nephew okay?
Gongsun came in to check Pang Yu’s injuries. He was injured on his buttocks, but the flesh was only a minor injury. Concubine Pang and Xiangxiang were fine.
The fourth son came over to comfort the frightened Concubine Pang.
The Queen Mother was at the side. With a dark face, she told the shadow guards outside, "Don't let him escape. The Ai family wants to see who wants my daughter-in-law's life again and again!" ”
Gongsun sprinkled medicine on Pang Yu and asked him what was going on.
It was really dangerous just now.
Pang Yu looked at the straw man and thought it was unlucky, so he came to Concubine Pang. Concubine Pang had just put Xiangxiang to sleep and put her into the crib when there was a "whoosh" from outside and a sharp arrow shot straight in. It's sinister to say that this arrow shot Concubine Pang in the stomach!
Before Pang Fei could understand, Pang Yu blocked her in front of her and let the arrow hit her butt.
He stumbled and fell, and someone broke in through the window in an instant. This person had strange Qinggong skills, and the shadow guards didn't catch him, allowing him to break in.
A man in black raised his knife and slashed at Xiangxiang in the cradle.
Pang Fei pushed him hard, but the knife was wrong and hit Xiangxiang's breast shield.
When Concubine Pang saw the knife hitting her daughter, she screamed and wanted to fight him desperately. The man in black kicked her in the stomach. At this time, several shadow guards bumped into her and kicked her out of the yard, starting a fight.
Pang Fei was unsteady on her feet and sat on Pang Yu. She checked Xiangxiang and found that she was fine, so she was so scared that she burst into tears.
Bai Yutang turned around and saw that the shadow guards were still entangled with the man in black, and frowned slightly - why is this man's Qinggong so strange?
After thinking about it, he rushed out. When the shadow guards saw him coming out, they immediately thought.
The man in black was also stunned when he saw a white shadow running into his eyes like a ghost, but disappeared in an instant.
My heart tightened, and someone hit me on the shoulder and neck from behind. The pain made him groan, and he stood up and tried to escape. But Bai Yutang didn't let him run away. He grabbed the collar of his clothes, rounded it and threw it to the ground. With a "pop", he fell and his eyes were full of stars.
The shadow guards stepped forward and tied the person up three times, five times, five times and two times.
The Queen Mother came out angrily and ordered people to take off his mask.
When this was pulled off, everyone frowned.
"Ouch!" The Queen Mother took a step back, and the female guard beside her quickly helped her into the room to avoid being shocked.
Bai Yutang was also puzzled... This man's face was completely ruined, as if he had been rolled with hot pig iron and was beyond recognition.
"Who are you?" Bai Yutang asked.
The man stared at Bai Yutang with malicious eyes, and then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his cracked mouth.
Everyone looked at it and frowned. Especially when you look at his grimace and Bai Yutang's handsome face, the contrast is too strong.
When Gongsun saw the fourth son trying to peek in, he quickly covered his eyes and forced him back into the house - to save him from nightmares at night.
"Asking you!" The shadow kicked him, "Speak!"
The man just sneered, and then his eyes bulged slightly.
Gongsun shouted, "He is going to commit suicide!"
But before anyone could stop him, the man was already bleeding from his orifices and fell on his back.
Bai Ying pried open his mouth and found that the tongue in his mouth was burned off, which showed that there was a very powerful poison hidden in it.
"He died so simply." Gongsun stepped forward to check his body, "This man was probably in his thirties, and his face was burned by a hot iron. It should have happened not long ago, so there was a The butt smells bad."
Bai Yutang frowned, "Why did he do that?"
"Shouldn't it be painful?" Fei Ying didn't quite understand, "Can it still come?" Assassination?"
"Look at his eyes. Although the skin on his face is bruised, the dark circles are still obvious, especially when you look at his blood-red eyes." Gongsun shook his head, "The condition is too great. It's terrible, it looks like he was locked up and tortured or he didn't sleep for several days."
The shadows took off the man's clothes and looked, and saw someone behind him. Massive tattoos.
Bai Yutang and Gongsun took a closer look and were both a little puzzled... That was an eye. The tattoos are very large and lifelike. There was a big eye on the man's back that took up most of his back, but it was not looking forward, but to the side, and he didn't know which direction it was facing. It always felt weird.
"What kind of tattoo is this?" Gongsun thought it looked familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly took out the human skin for comparison.
Bai Yutang also leaned over to take a look, and saw eight human eyes surrounding the four-leaf clover in the middle of the human skin. They also had different directions. Generally speaking, they were looking at the four eyes among them. Leaf grass.
"Same." Gongsun found one of the human eyes and showed it to Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang frowned - what does it matter? It doesn't feel like this person wants to kill Concubine Pang, but wants to kill Zhao Zhen's child. Why?
With a dark face, the Queen Mother asked the shadow guards to be on guard, and then went in to accompany Concubine Pang.
The fourth son helped Zhao Pu treat his wounds. When Gongsun saw Bai Yutang leaning against the tree in a daze, he walked over and said, "Are you bored? Zhe Ying came just now and said that the banquet in the palace has been dispersed. Zhan Zhao He should have returned to Kaifeng Mansion."
Bai Yutang nodded slightly.
"The shadow guards are here, and the emperor has also sent more people. Zhao Pu may be back soon. There should be nothing wrong tonight. Do you want to go back first?" Gongsun knew that Bai Yutang still had many clues. If you want to investigate, especially this time about Wu Ming, you might as well ask Taishi Pang.
Bai Yutang collected the sheepskin.
Gongsun wanted to wait for Zhao Pu to come and go to the military camp with him, so he asked Bai Yutang to take the fourth son back with him.
Bai Yutang rode his horse back to Kaifeng with his little fourth son. They were silent all the way, and soon they arrived at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. They saw several tall horses and a carriage parked outside the door.
Bai Yutang glanced at the wolf totem on the carriage and frowned slightly - a Liao carriage? Why are you in Kaifeng Mansion?
It turns out that at the end of the banquet, Zhao Zhen received a secret report from the shadow guard. He heard that Concubine Pang was almost killed and that someone seemed to be bent on getting rid of his heirs. Zhao Zhen was so angry that his face changed. He called Bao Zheng, Zhao Pu and others early to go into the study to discuss, while the others dispersed.
Zhan Zhao stayed behind to wait for Bao Zheng, but Yelu Qi refused to leave. He stood chatting with Zhan Zhao, and finally said that he would go back to Kaifeng Mansion with him to see more.
Zhan Zhao and Xiao Liang looked at each other - if Yeluqi stayed in Kaifeng Mansion, he could monitor him at close range, at least he would not be able to cause trouble. The trouble is...
Zhan Zhao looked at it Seeing Yeluqi's smiling face, Bai Yutang would want to beat him, right? So, when Bao Zheng and Zhao Pu went out, Yeluqi followed him back to Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhao Pu did not stop him, because everyone could see that Yeluqi seemed to have something to say this time.
Nowadays, the Liao Kingdom is fighting for the throne internally and there is no war with the Song Dynasty. The two families can live in peace. It is also possible that Yeluqi will fawn over Zhao Pu or the Song Dynasty royal family will seek help to fight for the throne. At this time, instead of rejecting him thousands of miles away, it would be beneficial to discuss the terms with him in the future.
Bai Yutang got off his horse and pulled the hand of the fourth son to go inside. He saw a figure moving in the yard.
I heard a voice, "Brother Zhan, why don't you sleep together tonight?"
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyelids twitched.
The fourth child covered his mouth - ugh! Meow Meow has been teased!
Zhan Zhao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and handed over to Yeluqi, “Master Three Wolf, there is a guest room in Kaifeng Mansion.”
“Aren’t you used to living in the guest room?”
“ Why don't you go to Jintingguanyi? The food, drinks and hospitality there are good. Kaifeng Mansion is the Qingshui Yamen." "Good!" Yeluqi smiled heartily. I like Zhan Wewei's quick-talking temperament..."
Zhan Zhaowangtian said, "Please, Lord Three Wolfs, I'm going to rest."
"Oh, let's talk some more. "What!" Yeluqi stood up and refused to leave, "By the way, are there any hot springs near Kaifeng Mansion? I always heard people in Daliao say that there were many hot springs in the Song Dynasty. Alas, I have lived in the windy and sandy place in the Western Regions for many years. I just like water, why don’t we go take a dip in the hot spring together?”
Zhan Zhaoxin said I would take a dip in your head!
But before he could answer, he heard a cool voice coming from the door, "Go out and turn right, open a door and there is a pit there, jump down and soak for a while."
< p>A flash in Zhan Zhao's mind... Turn right when you go far away, and there is a pit behind the door - isn't that a toilet?He couldn't help but make a "poof" sound, and at the same time he was excited. This sound - the white mouse is back!
When Yelu Qi heard this, he was happy, "Oh, so there is a hot spring in Kaifeng Mansion? Brother Zhan!" As he said, he reached out and grabbed Zhan Zhaode's wrist, "Let's go take a bath together!"
Zhan Zhao saw a flash of white shadow at the door, and two people, one large and one small, walked in.
The person walking in front was Bai Yutang, whose face was ashen, followed by the fourth son who looked at him curiously with his big eyes open.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang's eyes again. He was squinting slightly and staring closely at Yeluqi's hand holding his wrist. He quickly pulled it back and said, "No need, Lord Three Wolf. If you are interested, , it’s better to go soak yourself.”
Zhan Zhao put his hands behind his back and looked at Bai Yutang with a smile, “Yutang, you’re back.”
Bai Yutang was in a very bad mood. He said that the wolf and pig appeared out of nowhere and started playing tricks with his cat. But as soon as he heard Zhan Zhao's very cordial "Yutang", Bai Yutang's mood instantly changed.
Yelu Qi saw Bai Yutang at first sight and was stunned, "...could it be that you are the famous Golden Mouse Bai Yutang?"
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up and down. Take a look at this person and see Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao helped introduce, "This is Yelu Qi."
Bai Yutang had known that he was here for a long time, but he didn't quite understand why the Liao people lived in Kaifeng Mansion. , and still pestered Zhan Zhao.
"Speaking of Brother Bai, I remembered something." Yeluqi suddenly crossed his arms and asked with interest, "I heard that Brother Bai is proficient in institutions, right?"
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't understand what he meant, so they waited patiently for him to say.
"Oh... I have something in my hand. I have studied it with skilled craftsmen from various places. Many of them told me that only Bai Yutang can unlock this mechanism." Yeluqi smiled slightly, "I don't know, Brother Bai, are you interested in taking a look?"
Bai Yutang said nonchalantly, "Not interested."
After saying that, he reached out and pulled Zhan Zhao. "Have you eaten enough tonight?"
"Yeah." Zhan Zhao thought about it for a moment. He just watched Xiao Liang's martial arts competition and seemed to have only eaten crabs, so he replied, "Not even close..."< /p>
"I haven't eaten enough either." Bai Yutang has been busy all night and rolled up his sleeves, "Shall I cook noodles for you?"
Zhan Zhao smiled - Bai Yutang recently Whenever you get a chance, show off by cooking noodles!
Little Fourth Son came over, "I want to eat too."
"Little Fourth Son, Xiao Liangzi brought you a lot of delicious food." Zhan Zhao knelt down and followed He said, "Little Liangzi is in the limelight today."
"Really?" The little fourth son happily took the stone and went to Xiaoliang. He wanted to quickly ask him about Xiaoliangzi's appearance. What a limelight.
Zhan Zhao was about to bid farewell to Yeluqi and let him rest early, but Yeluqi smiled slightly and stopped the two people who came to the door, "I don't know, have you ever heard of the Eight-Eyed Troubled Times?"
......
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned.
"Haha." Yeluqi laughed knowingly and walked over, "How about you, do you want to treat me to a meal of noodles?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said to each other. They glanced at each other and said to him in unison, "You go and soak in a hot spring first, and we'll talk about it after we're full!" After that, the two of them went straight out.
Yelüqi smiled proudly, walked out of the yard, turned right, opened the door and took a look... He pinched his nose and looked at the sky. Are they the Golden Mouse and the Royal Cat? interesting!
