Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei returned home with two human-shaped brownies. Queen Yeluo was not there. Qiao Wei called Bi'er: "Where's my aunt?"
Bi'er took the cloak that Qiao Wei took off, and said with a smile, "I have entered the palace."
"Enter the palace?" Qiao Wei murmured.
Bi'er nodded: "Yes, not long after you and my uncle left, the queen asked me to borrow Ming'an's belt."
Ming'an is Ji Mingxiu's long-term follower, and he has a special token that allows him to enter and leave the palace freely.
Qiao Wei said again: "Did she go alone? What are you going to do?"
Bi'er replied: "I heard that a maid named Qiaoling is going to be brought back, and Master Huo has also gone."
With Master here, there is nothing to worry about.
The maid named Qiaoling seemed to be a nice person. She had been with her for so long, and she felt a little affectionate. She left in a hurry that day and didn't have time to take her with her. She should have taken her.
After two fights with the dead, her clothes were soaked, Qiao Wei went to the bathing pool to take a comfortable bath, and when she came out, Master Huo and Queen Yeluo had already returned.
Queen Yeluo had a strange look on her face. After entering the room, she sat down on the stool without saying anything, resting her cheeks on her hands, looking very preoccupied.
Qiao Wei poured her a cup of hot tea: "What's the matter, Auntie? Didn't you hear from Qiaoling?"
Queen Yeluo nodded, she was dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly her eyes widened: "Yes, I forgot to pick up Qiaoling!"
Qiao Wei's face was full of black lines, didn't you just enter the palace to pick her up? Can you forget it like this
Queen Yeluo patted her forehead and said annoyedly: "My brain! Why can't I always remember things?"
Qiao Wei followed her words and said, "Yes, Auntie, what are you thinking? How come you forgot such an important thing?"
Queen Yeluo sighed, and said helplessly, "Xiaowei, who do you think I was before? What kind of life did I live before I became the daughter of the Lixi tribe? Besides that mother-in-law, is there any other in my family?" Who else?"
Qiao Wei said strangely: "Why did my aunt suddenly ask about this?"
Queen Yeluo lowered her eyes: "It's just... I suddenly want to ask."
It's strange to suddenly want to ask, it must have been stimulated by something in the palace, otherwise why didn't ask sooner or later, why did you ask at this time
But since she refuses to say it, Qiao Wei can't force her, so when she wants to say it someday, she will naturally tell herself.
…
After the weather cooled down, the sky got dark early. After dinner, the little guys wanted to go to the garden to play, but Qiao Wei forced them back into the room, and the Third Highness supervised the practice of calligraphy.
Ji Mingxiu went to the forbidden area and found some information about Yeluo, but the information was too much and too complicated, and he didn't know if there were a page or two that recorded the National Affairs Hall. He sat at the desk and flipped through it patiently. .
Both the leader and Fu Xueyan came to the upper room, and Master Huo and Yan Feijue were also there.
Qiao Wei said the "gamble" made by Master Guoshi literally: "...he asked Mingxiu to hold on to the kung fu of a stick of incense under his seven lotus array, as long as the stick of incense passed, Mingxiu If you are still alive and can stand up, you have won the meditation... Is this difficult?"
Fu Xueyan took a weak breath: "You probably don't know what the Seven Lotus Formation is?"
Qiao Wei rested her chin on both hands and said: "I haven't seen the Seven Lotus Formation, but I have seen the lore formation in the Temple of the Holy Maiden when I was in the Yinzu. The formation is composed of 108 people and is very powerful. It is rumored that once, they won a complete victory against the enemy's thousands of troops. However, such a powerful formation was broken by my mother's move?"
Thinking of the scene of her mother nailing a spear of Er Shengnu to the carriage, it really made my blood boil.
If only her mother was here, her mother must have a way to kill that national teacher!
Fu Xueyan shook his head lightly: "I have seen the one hundred and eight lore array you mentioned before. It is a formation that has been passed down from a long time ago. It is indeed powerful, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, the eyes of the formation. The formation eyes of ordinary formations are in the most concealed position, but the formation eyes of that formation are in the leading position, so it is very easy to be exposed to the enemy's eyes, although those who can make formation eyes are all extremely skilled in martial arts But if you meet someone who is stronger than her, then breaking the formation will be as easy as pie."
Qiao Wei seemed to understand what Fu Xueyan meant. It was roughly that the lore array of the Hall of the Holy Maiden was very powerful. It was mainly used for group fights and could deal with opponents whose number was several times or even ten times larger than her own, but it also had great loopholes.
According to what Fu Xueyan meant, could it be that Ye Luo Guoshi's Seven Lotus Formation had no flaws
Fu Xueyan paused: "It's not that there are no flaws, but that flaw, you can't break it."
"How do you say that?" Qiao Wei asked.
"This, we have to start with the origin of the Seven Lotus Formation."
Anything that has not been lost in the long river of history will be endowed with mysterious and sacred colors by the times, and the National Teacher Hall is no exception.
Take this Seven Lotus Formation as an example. It is rumored that it is a very poor formation that was sealed in ancient times.
Qiqiong is an evil god in legends. He is as big as a bull, looks like a tiger, has fur like a hedgehog, has a pair of wings, and barks like a dog. Wherever he went, the world was chaotic and disasters prevailed.
In a place called Qilian Mountain in Yeluo, a Qiqiong flew over and ate many residents at the foot of the mountain. A traveling warlock passed by here. Poor, who knows that Qiong is stubborn, not only refuses to leave, but wants to eat up the warlock and all the villagers.
Where is the warlock Kenyey? So he fought with Qiqiong.
One man and one beast fought for seven days, the sky was thundering continuously, the rivers were flooding, and the whole village was destroyed by the fighting skills of the two. Fortunately, the warlock finally won and killed Qiqiong in the mountain.
Although the warlock won, he also paid a huge price for it. He was seriously injured. When he went up the mountain, he was a young boy, but when he went down the mountain, he had become a gray-haired old man.
The villagers were so grateful that they all begged him to stay, hoping to support him until his death.
The warlock did not accept the kindness of the villagers, and left lonely alone.
It was also after many years that news gradually spread that the Warlock was none other than the National Teacher of the National Teacher Hall.
The national teacher's vitality was exhausted, and he passed away not long after returning.
But that formation was left behind by him, and later generations called it the Seven Lotus Formation.
Qiao Wei's goosebumps fell all over the ground: "Tsk tsk tsk, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people! I bet that this seven lotus array is handed down from the masters of the ancestors of the country and the ancestors of the priests. Fa! When the two competed for the position of head, didn't the ancestor of the national teacher win? In addition to inheriting the head, he also inherited many other things, among which, there must be the Seven Lotus Formation! "
The leader said disdainfully: "If this is the case, then the people in the National Teacher Hall are too shameless! They are even more shameless than those old witches in the Holy Maiden Hall!"
Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "It's half a catty."
Yan Feijue is an old Jianghu after all, and his focus is different from the two young people. He clasped his fists and asked strangely: "Miss Fu, what does what you said have anything to do with being unable to break through?"
Fu Xueyan sighed slightly: "Although Qiongqi's things are all based on false rumors, even I don't really believe it, but...why are there no rumors about other formations being so powerful, only the Seven Lotus Formation has it, isn't it not? The reason. When the national teacher shot and killed Qiongqi, he used the blood moon bow, which can kill even evil gods, let alone living people."
Yan Feijue said thoughtfully: "So, tomorrow's formation will use the Blood Moon Bow."
"That's right." Fu Xueyan nodded, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. I have personally seen a martial arts master stronger than Mu Qiuyang who was killed by the Blood Moon Bow with one move. It is simply impossible to persist for a stick of incense under the formation of the Blood Moon Bow."
Mu Qiuyang's skill, Yan Fei, has definitely been taught before, and he can kill someone who is stronger than him with one move... The young master is more dangerous than good!
The leader slammed his fist on the table: "You cunning thing! Where is he talking about learning? He clearly wants to kill someone!"
Yan Feijue still couldn't believe it: "The Blood Moon Bow...is it really so evil?"
Fu Xueyan sighed: "If you had seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't doubt my words."
Everyone also sighed.
Thinking of something, Fu Xueyan said again: "It stands to reason... the priest's sword is also very powerful, have you found a way to use the priest's sword?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "If you mean cutting vegetables, well, I found it, but it's not as good as a kitchen knife!"
This is true, the blade of the priest's sword is blunt, and it is difficult to cut meat, let alone kill people.
Fu Xueyan lamented: "The power of the priest's sword is not inferior to that of the blood moon bow. It's a pity that the priest's lineage has been broken for too long, and no one knows how to exert its effect."
Qiao Wei thought of the group of guys in the National Teacher Hall taking other people's things and brazenly claiming that they belonged to her. Ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past her heart!
Ji Mingxiu didn't gain much.
After all, the Seven Lotus Formation was left by the master to the ancestors of the national master, and the ancestors of the Ji family would not study other people's formations if they had nothing to do.
Ji Mingxiu closed the booklet and sighed faintly: "It seems that I have to cheat a little."
…
The long night was silent, and the Changhuan Hall was brightly lit. The Huns liked to be lively. After the daytime banquet, they were still unsatisfied. At night, they lit a cluster of bonfires in the yard, and the old and young sang and danced around the bonfire.
Compared to the bustle of the Xiongnu, Yeluo's side was deserted.
A few disciples of the National Teacher Hall stood alone in the courtyard with serious expressions. The noisy singing came from the side hall of the Huns, and they stood vigilantly at their posts as if they didn't hear it.
A broad black night flew quietly from the night sky, landed lightly on the roof, hooked with one claw, the mechanism was touched, and it stood firmly.
There was a very slight sound when the organ touched the ground, but thanks to the Huns, the disciples of the National Teacher Hall did not notice it.
It spread its wings on the tiles, and three small figures slid down from its wings.
Afterwards, three small figures quietly jumped onto the wall, then sprinted up the bushes, and then landed on the ground quietly.
A row of guards stood majestically in the courtyard.
Turn your back on them.
Zhu'er pointed to the room of the national teacher, and danced and gestured for a while, roughly meaning, I'm here to steal the bow, you cover.
The two whites nodded together!
Zhu'er stooped, and tiptoed over step by step.
Soon, Dabai also stood up and walked over in a dignified manner.
It's Xiaobai's turn.
Xiao Bai carefully took out a small mink claw, and gently placed it on the ground.
Click!
A dead branch was trampled off!
Xiaobai's sable hair exploded!
Zhu'er wanted to blow up even more, and she was exposed before she stole it!
"who?!"
A disciple shouted loudly.
The big white pearl quickly ran up the beam!
Good luck to you, boy!
Xiaobai stood there with a stiff and small body, neither walking nor not walking, very pitiful.
"What's the matter?" The eldest disciple came out of the room vigilantly when he heard his junior brother's cry.
The yelling disciple just now glanced at the little white dumpling on the ground, grabbed it with his big palm, and said strangely, "Is this a dog or a mink?"
"Wow!"
Little White gave a childish cry.
The disciple smiled: "Eldest brother, it's a little milk dog, like a newborn, maybe lost its way."
The eldest disciple took a serious look around and said, "All of you, be vigilant. Master will have a duel with the Ji family tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes at the critical moment!"
The disciple patted his chest and said, "Elder brother, don't worry, we are all watching, and even a single bird cannot fly in!"
The golden eagle on the roof stretched its wings.
"By the way, brother, what about this dog?" the disciple asked.
The eldest disciple glanced at Xiaobai, frowned and said, "Baobuqi belongs to some nobleman in the palace, one thing more is worse than one thing less, throw it out."
The disciple regretted secretly, it was soft and warm, it was the best among dogs, it would be a pity to throw it away, I really wanted to keep it, but the senior brother spoke, he had no choice but to obey.
He hugged Xiaobai and walked towards the door, but after a few steps, he was stopped by the elder brother again.
The elder brother said: "Forget it, give it to me."
"Here." The disciple hugged Xiaobai to the elder brother.
The eldest disciple carried Xiao Bai up the steps.
Xiaobai nestled in the arms of the eldest disciple, staring at Dabai and Zhu'er on the beam. Dabai was hanging on the beam, and Zhu'er was hanging on its lap, reaching out to catch Xiaobai.
At this moment, the eldest disciple opened the door and carried Xiao Bai in.
Pearl's hand flew to nothing.
Xiaobai entered the house miserable.
Inside the room, the master of the state teacher sat cross-legged on the bed, with his eyes slightly closed, his hands were slowly raised, he took a deep breath, and then slowly lowered them down.
After he let out a breath of foul breath, the eldest disciple saluted devoutly and respectfully, calling out: "Master."
The master of the state teacher opened his eyes lightly, and what Ye Luo said, the eldest disciple lifted Xiao Bai up, and said with a smile: "There is no assassin, it's this little thing."
Master Guoshi's suspicious eyes fell on Xiaobai.
Xiaobai howled decisively: "Wow!"
The suspicion in the eyes of the national teacher dissipated, and instead, there was a hint of disappointment that seemed to be there.
The eldest disciple blinked involuntarily, why did the master show such eyes? Could it be that Master just mistook it for something good
Although the eldest disciple was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask if the national teacher didn't say anything.
Master Guoshi pointed to the steaming alchemy furnace by the wall.
The eldest disciple understood, put down the "little dog", walked to the pill furnace, opened the furnace lid, and took out a black pill the size of a pigeon egg. The strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the whole room.
The first disciple smiled happily and said, "Master, this time the pills are of very good quality, and the fragrance is particularly strong. I guess it's a match! It's not easy!"
Master Guoshi didn't speak, but covered his heart, and a trace of complexity flashed across his cold and stern face.
The eldest disciple put the pills into the bowl, and said carefully, "It's all because of that crazy woman back then. If she hadn't ruined the master's foundation, the master wouldn't have used that method to enhance his power, and even now..."
Halfway through the conversation, he realized that he was talking too much, so he quickly lowered his head and presented the pill with both hands, "Master, please take it."
The national teacher took the pill and waved his hand.
The eldest disciple retreated respectfully, forgetting about Xiao Bai.
Xiaobai looked at the national teacher in bewilderment.
The national teacher also looked at Xiaobai, thinking of something, he took the pill that had been delivered to his mouth, he broke off a small piece, and threw it in front of Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai smelled the delicious aroma, and ate it into his mouth without saying a word!
Fragrant! Delicious!
Xiaobai's eyes were shining brightly, and he took a small step towards the national teacher.
The national teacher hesitated for a moment, and threw another small piece to it.
Xiaobai ate it unceremoniously!
He took another two steps forward, looking at the pill in the national teacher's hand, drooling saliva.
The national teacher's pupil light moved, and broke off another piece.
This piece was bigger than the previous two pieces combined, Xiaobai was so moved that he was about to cry, he hugged the national teacher's leg!
The national teacher looked at the pill in his hand, and then at the lively Xiaobai. His frown was finally loosened, and he swallowed the non-toxic and pollution-free pill that even a small milk dog had no adverse reaction to.
In the next second, the national teacher twitched all over, foamed at the mouth, Yintang turned black, his lips turned purple, and fell face down on the floor!
