Late Night Tales Of The Capital

Chapter 156: There is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes

Views:

Gray bricks, a red roof, and a three-foot-high incense burner.

Looking at the hall not far away, Ye Que was overjoyed, because a voice called him faintly.

This voice appeared once, in the underground cave of the Dragon Vein Imperial Mausoleum, under the artifact River Pawn. After Ye Que searched, he found a page from heaven, but now, the same voice reappeared, it was actually in the imperial palace of Tang Dynasty, and it was so close in front of him.

He didn't pay any attention to Li Jianqi at all, and Ye Que walked directly towards the hall.

"You said you were going to go out, why are you dumbfounded again? You found a treasure? How hypocritical! If you have the ability, you go now!" Li Jianqi looked at Ye Que's back and muttered, a fool can see that Ye Que must be Discovered something, the whole person was stunned.

"Jingxiang Hall?"

Standing in front of the main hall, sniffing the faint aroma, Ye Que silently read the words on the plaque.

Soon, Li Jianqi also rushed over, raised his head and looked, "This Jingxiang Hall is the ancestral hall where my family worships our ancestors. Whenever there is a big sacrifice or the Tang Dynasty is in danger, the emperor will come here. The emperor a few days ago It was also enshrined in the hall, I have never been in it, so there are still treasures in it?"

Since Li Jianqi followed, the guards in front of the hall did not stop Ye Que from entering.

There was no one in the Hall of Respecting Incense, Ye Que stood with his hands behind his back, looking around, in the deepest part of the hall, rows of memorial tablets neatly filled a wall, and an incense burner was also placed in front of the memorial tablets.

After Li Jianqi entered the hall, the gate was quietly closed, and the originally bright Hall of Respecting Incense gradually became dark, leaving only a dozen or so oil lamps emitting dim candlelight.

Under the candlelight, Ye Que raised his head and looked around.

On the entire hall, apart from the tablets, there are portraits one after another.

From the founding ancestor of the Tang Dynasty to Li Chunzhi's father, there are a total of 27 portraits, which are lifelike.

Ye Que stood quietly in the center of the Hall of Honoring Fragrance, closed his eyes, and felt the call just now. However, the strange thing is that the calling sound disappeared, as if the feeling just now was an illusion, but Ye Que knew that the calling was definitely not an illusion, it was just guiding him to come here.

"There must be a page of heavenly scriptures in this incense worshiping hall, where is it?" Ye Que thought silently.

Li Jianqi, who was standing next to him, was also curious. It was her first time visiting this hall, "What did you find? Is there a treasure?"

Ye Que shook his head, didn't speak, and still closed his eyes to feel.

The hall was silent.

There wasn't even a trace of wind blowing into the hall, the only sound might be the breathing of Ye Que and Li Jianqi.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Que opened his eyes, and started to walk back and forth in the hall, from the tablet to the portrait on the wall, carefully looked at it, and even stretched out his hand to take off the portrait to check the back of the portrait Is there a hidden grid.

"Don't be so serious, right? This is the ancestor of the sacrificial priest. Who would really hide the treasure here? Even if it is hidden, who would dare to design a hidden compartment behind the portrait of the ancestor? That is treason." Li Jianqi first saw Ye Que finally started to search hard, and he was a little relieved.

But within a quarter of an hour, Li Jianqi's face collapsed.

Ye Que searched too carefully, as if he wanted to renovate the Temple of Fragrance, as if he would never give up if he didn't find something here.

"Okay ah?"

"You searched almost the whole hall, what did you find?"

"This is the ancestral hall after all, can we show some respect?"

"Ye Que, that's a portrait of my grandfather, handle it with care, don't break it!"

Li Jianqi stood beside him, covering his face with one hand, and grabbing his hair vigorously with the other, looking hopeless. But the little girl was quite interesting, she didn't stop Ye Que.

It's not that I don't want to stop it.

The main reason is that Li Jianqi is too face-saving, so he promised him that he would give away whatever he likes in the palace, and it's unfortunate that he looked for it? Didn't I rummage around just now

The sky outside the palace was getting darker and darker.

The fog gradually thickened, and the visibility became smaller and smaller. In the end, the guards who were ten meters away could hardly even see each other's appearance clearly.

It was the first time that such a large fog fell in Luoyang in the deep winter, and it seemed to herald the fate of the Tang Dynasty, which was full of fog.

Time gradually passed, the sky was getting darker, and the thick fog finally penetrated the gap of the gate and began to overflow into the Jingxiang Hall. Smell the mist, a little moist, but also a little cool.

Before sunset, the entire city of Luoyang was completely dark, and there were few pedestrians in the night market, and even the wine shops that were busy day and night on weekdays were deserted tonight.

Ye Que was sitting on the futon in front of the memorial tablet at this time, frowning in thought. He had searched the entire hall thoroughly, and even knocked on every brick, but found nothing abnormal. He even used Tianyuan to sweep the hall more than ten times, but still did not get any feedback.

Li Jianqi next to him is also sitting on the futon now, but with his hands resting on his face, it looks like he is about to fall asleep.

"Where will it be?"

"There's no reason why you can't find it?"

"No matter how deep the hiding is, there must be some clues, right?"

Standing up somewhat in disbelief, Ye Que started to walk back and forth in the hall again, this time walking more slowly and observing more carefully.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

"I think it's a waste of time."

"Why do you think this Jingxiang Temple is here? Are you sick? Could it be bewitched?"

After Li Jianqi finished speaking, he stood up and took out three sticks of incense from the drawer of the sandalwood table under the tablet, lightly lit them in the candle beside him, and finally put the incense in the incense burner in front of the tablet, muttering, " My ancestors, please forgive this young man for his rudeness."

The incense burner is not big, and it is just right to insert three incense sticks.

Blue smoke curled up.

When the incense was just inserted into the incense burner, Ye Que turned around abruptly, looked at Li Jianqi, and finally his eyes fell on the incense burner beside her.

"That call appeared again!"

"From this incense burner!"

Absolutely not wrong, Ye Que could feel the call very clearly, and even the page of heavenly scriptures in his body began to emit a faint milky white light, illuminating the entire spiritual sea.

This incense burner is definitely a magic weapon.

Very miraculous magic weapon.

It was able to seal the breath of the heavenly scriptures, and only when the incense was inserted into the incense burner, would there be a call.

Thinking about it now, for hundreds of years, this incense burner has been placed here so quietly, and no one has discovered that there is a page of heavenly script hidden in it. Maybe this is fate, only those who are destined can receive the call of the Heavenly Book, and Ye Que is the one who is destined to practice the Heavenly Book, and maybe the only one who is, because the first three pages of the Heavenly Book's exercises are not in the human world at all.

If Li Jianqi hadn't thought of offering a stick of incense to his ancestors on a whim, then Ye Que would probably have gotten nothing. After all, this is the Temple of Incense, and it is impossible for Ye Que to take everything away.

Looking at the incense burner in front of Li Jianqi with a calm face, Ye Que took a deep breath, and then walked over slowly, "In the palace, as long as I like it, can I take it away?"

Li Jianqi raised his head, "Yes, as long as you don't go too far, for example, the dragon chair on the Golden Luan Hall, it must not be given to you, and I can't make the decision, even my father would not agree."

"I don't want any dragon chair, I've already chosen it." Ye Que said with certainty, and after he finished speaking, he looked in front of Li Jianqi.

Except for an incense burner, there are only rows of tablets in that position.

Seeing where Ye Que was looking, Li Jianqi looked sad, "Could it be that you want to take away a memorial tablet? Of course not, these are all the memorial tablets of the ancestors, and they are used for worship, and one must not be missing. Let alone taking it away, even breaking a piece, my father will scold me to death."

Looking at the pitiful Li Jianqi, Ye Que chuckled, "What do I want the tablet for? It's useless at all. I want this."

After speaking, Ye Que pointed to the old incense burner on the table.

"this?"

"incense burner?"

"Are you sure?" Li Jianqi had an incredulous expression, "You've been looking here for a long time, and you finally settled on such a broken incense burner? What kind of hobby!"

Li Jianqi did not agree immediately, but grabbed the incense burner in his hand, checked left and right, and even tried to pour spiritual power into it, but found nothing. Li Jianqi's appraisal results showed that this was an ordinary incense burner, and its only value might be an antique.

Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org

This incense burner has probably been stored in this incense worshiping hall for hundreds of years.

Just by looking at the appearance of this incense burner, it can be seen that it must be an old object.

"However, no matter how old an antique is, it's useless to practitioners, right? It's not intended to be sold for money!" Li Jianqi muttered, "Like collecting incense burners? Did you come here for the smell?"

"Then what did you do just now? Isn't this incense burner placed in the hall all the time? Tell me if you like it! Why are you looking for it?"

"Will you give it or not?" Ye Que looked at Li Jianqi and said impatiently, with a trace of contempt in his eyes, as if to say, "Can't you do what you promised? Are you going to slap yourself in the face?"

Li Jianqi frowned, "Here!"

"Isn't it just a broken incense burner?"

"Whoever wants it will take it."

"I really didn't expect you to like this kind of thing, and it's not a magic weapon."

Ye Que ignored Li Jianqi. Seeing that she had agreed, he directly took the incense burner from her hand, then turned around and left the Temple of Respect for Incense. At the end, he did not forget to say, "I'm rare, I'm happy."

The fog outside the hall was getting thicker and thicker. The two of them pushed open the door, and they couldn't even see the guard at the door clearly. However, they saw the Minister of Military Aircraft, Huang Eel, unexpectedly.

The rice field eel stood quietly at the door, as if it had been waiting for the two of them.

"Xiaoye, have you chosen something?" Huang Eel's face was kind, and even the address became very friendly.

"Okay." Ye Que raised the incense burner in his hand.

He didn't care about what he chose at all, there were so many valuables in the palace, let alone one, even if he gave a hundred, a thousand of them would not show any change.

"Here are the keys to the General's Mansion, as well as the keys to No. 74 to No. 94 on Yong'an Avenue." Huang Eel said and handed Ye Que a small wooden box. Listening to the sound, there should be a bunch of metal objects inside.

Ye Que frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty knows that you and Shuxiao have opened a Tianmen gymnasium. He is very optimistic about it, so I hope you can make the gymnasium flourish. It is best that all the people in Luoyang can practice, and even the people in the entire Tang Kingdom can practice."
