Chapter 409: Astrolabe
It's actually quite interesting.
"I want to ask one more question, what are you going to Shengyi for?" The excuse Qu Yunhe found in the past was insincere, and she didn't believe it at all.
Yan Saburo and Qu Yunhe glanced at each other and said in unison: "Looking for something." ”
Qu Yunhe added one more sentence: "The important objects left by the deceased were left in the palace, and I have to go and get them back." ”
He Xiaoyuan whistled lightly: "It has been more than thirty years since Wei Guo moved the capital to Shengyi. Didn't your deceased leave an object thirty or forty years ago?"
Honestly, it was nearly a hundred years ago. Qu Yunhe shrugged: "Almost." It's so important that I have to go to the palace. ”
"Along the way, you are also quite likable, I will give you a few words of advice. He Xiaoyuan smiled and groaned, "Stop here." Even if you arrive at Shengyi, the Wei King's Palace is not something you can enter if you want to. ”
Yan Saburo remained silent: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"The palace is so heavily guarded that not even a fly can fly in. He Xiaoyuan said softly, "Especially you-"
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Qu Yunhe: "-You are such an outlier." ”
Qu Yunhe frowned, but did not refute. It turned out that He Xiaoyuan had already seen the difference in him.
He Xiaoyuan also understood what he was thinking, and smiled slightly: "It's not that there is a problem with your disguise, it's just that I am naturally sensitive to medicinal plants." ”
This guy is not human!
"The palace has eight gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave freely. Before going out, you must tell the time and hand over the token, and you must return on time, and you must return to the palace from which gate you go out. At the entrance, the same team of eunuchs and palace maids came to check their bodies and recognize their faces. She looked at Yan Saburo and sighed twice, "If you want to pretend to be a little eunuch to go in, I'm afraid you have to first-" She raised her hand and made a downward gesture with a knife, "That's it!"
Yan Saburo looked at her expressionlessly.
He Xiaoyuan didn't scare him, but he was a little bored.
She didn't know that there were other people who intimidated Yan Saburo all day long, and she was just a pediatrician in comparison.
"Youguo has tried several times to send people to infiltrate, but they have all failed. He Xiaoyuan's face turned solemn, "The protection of the Weiwang Palace is said to be a means of extending the Yasukuni, and this is only for human beings. Ten years ago, the old Wei Wang met with foreign guests and boasted that Tianyao Palace could monitor every alien who entered it, and even if a rat spirit slipped in, it would be caught immediately. It is said that some youkai refused to accept it and tried the law, but they were really captured. ”
He Xiaoyuan sighed: "I received news that this is the power of a secret treasure from the previous dynasty, and I don't know if it's true or not." Youguo has been inquiring in many ways, but he has never been able to get a single quasi-letter. ”
"What does it mean to be different?" Yan Saburo's first thought was Chitose. When he turned around, he saw that the white cat was inspecting the new site, as if he had no heart or lungs.
"Except for human beings and animals that have not opened their minds, they are all designated as aliens by the Jingwang Palace. "It's Qu Yunhe, "Whether it's ghosts, monsters, spirits, or corpses." ”
Yan Saburo glanced at him. Yes, this guy is familiar with the old palace of Yasukuni. If Wei Gong used the methods of the previous dynasty, he should know better than He Xiaoyuan.
"What King Wei said is true, if the above categories enter, King Jinggong will immediately warn. Qu Yunhe's face was solemn, "But this is not a secret treasure that can work, but a set!"
"A set?" He Xiaoyuan was surprised, "How do you know?"
Qu Yunhe didn't answer, but continued: "At the beginning of the construction of King Jing's Palace, all the pillars were mixed with special powder, called 'Dingxing Pillar'. The matching sand table is called the 'fixed star disk', which cooperates with the fixed star pillar, that is, it can represent the thumbnail of the entire palace. Where the anomalies appear in the palace and how they move, they will be directly displayed as points of light on the sand table. Because it is not observed by the human eye, it is useless to obligate it. ”
Yan Saburo was slightly surprised: "Isn't that just nowhere to hide?"
"Exactly. Qu Yunhe sighed, "This is the treasure of Yasukuni's town palace, and it seems that the defense of the country has been used to this day." ”
"Really?" He Xiaoyuan was skeptical. The true secret of the Star Pillar is only in the hands of a very small number of people in the Wei Palace, why would Qu Yunhe know it?
But he said it so firmly, He Xiaoyuan really wanted to believe him. "But if any alien enters Tianyao Palace, they will be discovered?" she found it interesting: this person never called Tianyao Palace, but insisted on calling it Jingwang Palace.
But Yasukuni perished nearly a hundred years ago, what kind of mountain did this person come from?
Qu Yunhe shrugged his shoulders: "So there are only two ways to enter the Jingwang Palace safely; Whether it is summoned by the palace or entered with the courtiers, it counts. ”
"This method has been tried before. He Xiaoyuan said, "But ministers generally enter the palace alone, and if they want to bring people, they have to be specially approved by the palace." ”
Yan Saburo shook his head: "We don't apply this method." ”
They really don't know anyone they know when they go to Shengyi, and they don't know anyone, so how can a powerful person take them in? Rebuilding the relationship is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and if you use threats, such as Chitose likes to do this, the risk cost is too high.
"What about the second method?" Yan Saburo actually understood, "Violent attack?"
"Yes. Qu Yunhe smiled bitterly.
Yan Saburo was silent.
"Think about it. He Xiaoyuan stood up, "I still have something." ”
After she left, Yan Saburo asked Qu Yunhe, "If I didn't come with me, how did you plan to sneak into the palace?"
"I thought that the astrolabe had been lost a long time ago, but I didn't know that the Wei King would be able to make it effective. Qu Yunhe could only smile bitterly, "Let's take one step at a time." ”
"Okay, since we have to think about it in the long run, let's talk about it later. The white cat unceremoniously chased him away, "Get out!"
The first service that Yan Saburo asked for when he stayed at the inn was to take a hot bath.
After washing the cat, of course.
When the cat shook off the tiny droplets of water and went to the pond fire to keep warm, he also took off his coat and jumped into the big wooden barrel.
Even if he is usually as quiet as Yan Saburo, he can't help but let out a long breath and close his eyes at this time.
The last time I was covered in hot water was a long time ago. Since leaving the Spring Deep Hall, he has no longer enjoyed such courtesy. Every pore in his body was dilated, and he could feel the cold air in his bones being forced out, and he could feel it bubbling out.
The white cat also lay on the edge of the fire, spreading itself into a blanket, and did not want to move.
Comfortable.
However, Yan Saburo has always been self-disciplined, and only soaked for half an hour, and got up to change his clothes when he was warm from the inside out. When I looked up at the cat, I didn't know when I had turned its head away, and it was curled up with its back to him, and its belly rose and fell regularly.
He was still wiping his hair when there was a sudden commotion from below, and someone shouted, "Close the gates, close the gates!"
