After Wei Xiaobao left, after waiting for a while, the old eunuch said to Xiang Yan, "I want to go out now. You stay in the room and don't go out." Xiang Yan felt very uneasy and said, "Yes." Xiang Yan was confused all day yesterday. I haven't eaten anything and haven't slept all night. I feel sleepy and hungry now. After a quick scan of the room, there was a plate of snacks in the inner room. He ate it wholeheartedly, and drank half of the tea in the teapot in the outer room. After filling his stomach with something, he fell on the small bed and fell asleep.
While he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly heard the old eunuch calling: "Xiao Xiangzi, little Xiangzi." Xiang Yan hurriedly got up from the bed and responded: "Father-in-law." What was the old eunuch doing back at this time? The old eunuch said: "Xiao Xiangzi, I will take you to a place now. If you bring me a book, I will give you the antidote and let you out of the palace." I will be a eunuch." So he responded, "Yes." The old eunuch nodded and said, "Follow me."
Although the old eunuch is blind, he knows the place well. Turn left and right and come to a place. Xiang Yan looked up and saw the three words "Kun What Palace" written on the door plaque - Xiang Yan learned simplified Chinese characters and did not know traditional Chinese characters. The old eunuch led Xiang Yan over the wall and came to a room. He said, "While there is no one around now, go in quickly and find a copy of the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra. I will keep a lookout for you outside. Be careful." , don’t be discovered.”
Xiang Yan entered the room and looked around. There were no books at all in the room. However, the old eunuch confirmed that the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" was in this room, which meant that this sutra contained a big secret and had been placed in a secret place by its owner. Alas, I don’t know where the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra was hidden. This room is so big, where should I find a book? But what secrets does this "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters" contain? This name seems familiar to me. It must be an important prop that appeared in the original work. It's just that I didn't read carefully when I was reading. Time passed and I couldn't remember it for a while.
Xiang Yan rummaged around the house but never found any books. The old eunuch suddenly shouted in a low voice outside: "Come out quickly, someone is coming." Xiang Yan was shocked and quickly ran out of the house. The old eunuch ran wildly with Xiang Yan and returned directly to his residence without meeting anyone. Xiang Yan was impressed by the sight.
After returning to his residence, the old eunuch asked Xiang Yan, "Xiao Xiangzi, have you found the scriptures?" Xiang Yan said, "No." The old eunuch frowned and said, "We will continue to look for it tomorrow." Xiang Yan hesitated. Answered: "Yes."
When I escaped back, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to put the things back to their original places. I was afraid that the owner of the house already knew that someone had rummaged for things in his house. Wouldn't he be trapped in a trap if he continued to look for them tomorrow? It's just that the old eunuch obviously only wants scriptures and doesn't care about my life and death. What should I do?
Xiang Yan sat for a while longer, feeling sleepy. Seeing that the old eunuch didn't give any instructions, he fell on the small bed to catch up on his sleep. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered something: "There seems to be a treasure map in the original book, which was divided into several parts and hidden in several scriptures. Is it the "Forty-Two Chapters"? The old eunuch left Wei Xiaobao behind just to Wei Xiaobao was asked to go to Kangxi's study to find scriptures. However, in addition to Kangxi's study, the Kunning Palace where the fake queen mother lived also had several scriptures containing treasure maps. Could it be that the place I just went to was Kunning Palace? I Is the character I don’t recognize the character ‘Ning’?”
Xiang Yan immediately broke out in cold sweat: "This is terrible, something serious has happened. The old eunuch has always suspected that there are experts around the fake queen mother. Since he is an expert, he will not find traces of me rummaging around in the palace? Could it be that the old eunuch is? Are you using me as bait to lure out the masters around the fake Queen Mother? No wonder the old eunuch didn't ask more questions when I made up my origin. I thought I had deceived the old eunuch, but now it seems that the old eunuch has no intention of letting me live at all. I didn’t care. Anyway, I can only live for another day or two, so what does it matter where I come from? Why should he ask more? "
Xiang Yan closed his eyes and continued to sleep. Now, I will recuperate and have a good sleep. When the old eunuch sleeps at night, I will sneak attack the old eunuch and let the old eunuch die. The current situation does not allow me to retreat. If the old eunuch does not die tonight, it will be my turn to die tomorrow.
When Xiang Yan woke up from hunger, the rough eunuch was bringing dinner over. Wei Xiaobao saw Xiang Yan and said, "Xiao Xiangzi is awake and just in time to come for dinner." The old eunuch snorted and said, "What qualifications does he, a young eunuch, have to eat with me?" He said to the rough eunuch: " You take Xiao Xiangzi to the big cafeteria for dinner."
When Xiang Yan was eating in the cafeteria, he ran into the kitchen while no one was paying attention, stole a vegetable cutting knife and hid it on his body. When he returned to his residence after dinner, the old eunuch suddenly said: "Xiao Xiangzi, someone asked Xiao Guizi to fight tomorrow. Go and help Xiao Guizi drive that person away, and let the person who stole the scriptures go free beforehand." Xiang Yan was thinking in his heart. He let go and said, "Yes." The person fighting with Wei Xiaobao must be Kangxi.
Regarding the plot against the old eunuch, Xiang Yan also felt guilty: "This old eunuch is very skilled in martial arts. Even if I kill him with a knife when he is not prepared, if he fights back before dying, he will probably kill me with one palm. Now since the old eunuch If I was asked to help Wei Xiaobao fight Kangxi instead of going to Kunning Palace to die, then the plot against the old eunuch can be considered in the long run. Wei Xiaobao is the protagonist of destiny, and no one who Wei Xiaobao hates will have a good end. In the original work, the old eunuch is dead It's in Wei Xiaobao's hands. Maybe I can discuss with Wei Xiaobao how to deal with the old eunuch."
