In the next few hours, Qin Shaoyou, Cui Yougui, and Yun Lu stayed in the inn room.
They checked frame by frame what Mo Dian's eyes had detected from inside the Ancestral Temple.
Qin Shaoyou regretted not taking Zhu Xiucai with him.
If Zhu Xiucai were here, he would be able to unleash a power of photographic memory and meticulous observation, greatly improving work efficiency.
The three of them didn't stare at the scroll, not even daring to blink. In the end, their eyes were so dry that they were almost congested, red and swollen, as if they were about to go blind.
"Did you find anything?"
After Qin Shaoyou read all the contents on the scroll, he exhaled a breath and closed his eyes to rest.
He did not divide the scroll into three parts and let three people view one part respectively. Instead, he asked everyone to read all the scrolls.
Although this increases the workload and time, it can prevent errors and omissions to the greatest extent.
Cui Youying almost finished reading all the contents in the scroll.
Hearing Qin Shaoyou's inquiry, he made a secret to release a healing spell on his eyes, then shook his head and said:
"What you are asking about is about the discovery related to Si Xiu, but there is none yet.
However, I saw blood stains in several palaces. Although it had been treated, some traces were still left.
If my guess is correct, there should have been other people who broke into the Ancestral Temple before us, and they probably went to Sixiu. Unfortunately, Sixiu was not found, but they fell into a trap and probably all died. "
Qin Shaoyou nodded.
"I also discovered these situations. It seems that Xu Jianzheng and Senior Brother Yun guessed right. The Ancestral Temple is simply a trap.
Emperor Jianwu deliberately left out some clues to make people think that Sixiu was in the Ancestral Temple to attract people to collect tributes for his grand sacrifice. "
Yun Lu had read all the contents of the scroll at this time. He followed Qin Shaoyou's example and closed his eyes to rest, and at the same time told his findings:
"Similar to Senior Brother Cui, I only saw some blood stains and no sign of Si Xiu. In addition, I also found that the feng shui of the Ancestral Temple was strange, as if it had been artificially changed. I am not yet sure what these changes will cause. s consequence."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
After listening to the reports from Yun Lu and Cui Yougui, he was basically sure that Si Xiu was indeed not in the Ancestral Temple.
As for the changed Feng Shui, I wonder if it is related to the Great Festival?
After thinking for a while, Qin Shaoyou ordered:
"Senior Brother Cui, please immediately send a message to the commander and tell him what we have discovered in the Ancestral Temple.
Let him find a way to find out who broke into the Ancestral Temple before us. Don't let these people alert the enemy and let Emperor Jianwu be prepared for the next action we are going to take.
In addition, please ask him to tell Xu Jianzheng about the feng shui situation in the Ancestral Temple, so that Xu Jianzheng can see what is going on. "
Cui Yougui said hello and decided to do something to convey the news.
Qin Shaoyou reminded again: "Be careful when delivering the message. There must be many pairs of eyes staring at the commander in secret now. We must not be discovered by them."
Cui Youyou nodded to show his understanding, patted his chest and said, "I'm doing things, what else do you have to worry about?"
Qin Shaoyou wanted to tell him that I was worried about you doing things, but in the end he swallowed these words back in his stomach and did not undermine Senior Brother Cui in front of others.
Cui Youguo wrote down the message he wanted to deliver into five secret words. Then he chanted a mantra, cast five ghost techniques, summoned five ghosts, handed the secret words into the hands of the five ghosts, and ordered them to sneak into the capital immediately to deliver the message.
Qin Shaoyou did not use the paper crane talisman, but asked Cui Yougui to deliver the news. On the one hand, it was because there were too many spells to detect the paper crane talisman, especially in a place like the capital, where it was easy to be discovered.
The Five Ghost Techniques are different, especially the Five Ghosts summoned by Cui Youwei, who are as good at escaping as him. In addition, the Patriarch turns a blind eye, so they are easier to use than the Paper Crane Talisman.
The five ghosts received the secret message and disappeared immediately.
Qin Shaoyou didn't waste time. After his eyes recovered a little, he took Cui Youshen and Yun Lu to the royal tomb.
Although it was already dark now and all the city gates were closed, Qin Shaoyou and the others brought with them a lot of identity certificates from the editorial offices, the Wucheng Army and Horses Department and other yamen. At this moment, they took out one at random, saying that they had important errands Yes, the city gate guards didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly opened the door to let him go.
The city gate guards knew that during the recent period, people from the Demon Suppression Department, the Jishi Factory, and the Wucheng Military and Horse Department, etc., had been frantically arresting Black Lotus followers in the Gyeonggi area.
Therefore, they had no doubts that Qin Shaoyou and the others would go out of the city overnight to run errands.
I'm just speculating. Could it be that these three people discovered traces of the Black Lotus Sect in the county and were anxious to go back and move troops?
The news quickly reached the ears of the county magistrate and the local commander of the demon town. They were shocked and hurriedly sent people to conduct self-examination in the county.
This night, for many people in this county, it will be difficult to sleep.
After Qin Shaoyou and the others left the county, they rushed straight to the royal tomb.
The royal tombs of the Great Xia Dynasty were not built in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, but were located in Longkou Valley, more than two hundred miles east of the capital.
As you can tell from the name, this place is a valley.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived, they saw that they were really surrounded by mountains on all sides, except for the open flat land in the middle.
In this mountain valley, there are tombs one after another.
The one in the middle is the mausoleum of the previous kings of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is magnificent in shape. The surrounding ones are the queen's mausoleum of similar size, and beyond that is the concubine's garden mausoleum.
Outside the royal tombs are the tombs of princes and generals, forming the image of stars over the moon.
These princes, generals and ministers were loyal during their lifetime and continued to protect the emperors of the Xia Dynasty after their death.
This layout is obviously designed by Feng Shui masters to ensure that Xia Chao's kingdom lasts for a long time.
But when Yun Lu came to the royal tomb and inquired around, his brows were furrowed and he kept saying something wrong.
Qin Shaoyou heard his whisper, reined in his horse and asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"
At the same time, according to Lu Bing's teachings, a signal was sent out to try to contact Zuo Zixiong.
"The feng shui aura of Wang Ling is weird."
Yun Lu didn't hold back and quickly told what he found.
"A few years ago, I accompanied Jian Zheng to visit the Wang Tomb. Although the Feng Shui atmosphere here was in decline at that time, it was not like it is now. The Feng Shui atmosphere appeared in the Wang Tomb. This is a sign that the country will perish!"
Cui Yougui snorted coldly: "The emperor is ignorant, the demons are in chaos, disasters are everywhere, and they don't care about the people. All day long, they only think about gaining power and becoming an immortal. Aren't all these things the country will be destroyed? The Feng Shui atmosphere here in Wangling is just... It just reflects the current situation, there’s nothing strange about it.”
Yun Lu shook his head repeatedly: "It's not that simple."
Then, he asked Qin Shaoyou for instructions: "Master Qin, I want to go to a higher place and have a look."
"Let's go together." Qin Shao said. He also wanted to go to a high place so that he could observe the situation of the royal tomb.
After he arrived at the royal tomb, he also had some unusual feelings.
