"Zian, the mechanism will be restored soon. Come out quickly, otherwise your soul will be scattered." Nangong Ziyu exclaimed, which made everyone who was in a daze come to their senses.
Li Nuo didn't show any nostalgia and hurriedly withdrew from the agency's scope.
Then the strange water curtain near the crystal coffin rippled and returned to its original state.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and for a moment it was difficult to accept the fact that Wenzong's body was missing.
"Could someone have stolen the late emperor's body?"
Qin Fusu guessed.
Since someone was caught robbing the tomb this time, it means that someone might have broken into Wenzong's cemetery before.
However, these words aroused opposition from Zhang Dali.
He said firmly: "Impossible! There are three thousand mausoleum guards like us outside guarding the mausoleum, and there are machine formations inside. Even if there are capable people who break into the cemetery, they want to take Wenzong's body out of the mausoleum from our eyes.
This is simply not possible.”
"Then there is only one possibility left, Wenzong is not dead..."
Li Nuo said calmly.
"Zi'an, are you kidding? If Emperor Wenzong is not dead, how will your Majesty succeed to the throne today?" Qin Fusu asked in confusion, "What's more, back then, Emperor Wenzong was buried in the imperial mausoleum in front of important civil and military ministers."
"After eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how unbelievable the rest is, it is also the truth!"
Li Nuo said this famous saying of Sherlock Holmes in his previous life.
But at this moment, what the tomb robber said echoed in his mind: Wenzong's tomb is empty.
But this logic is too strange.
Without the mausoleum drawings from the Ministry of Industry, and without the existence of Qin Fusu, the formation master, who could enter Wenzong's mausoleum?
He went deep into the mausoleum with the help of Qin Xiaolou's Sanqi Shenniu.
And he also observed carefully that there was no sign that anyone had been here except them.
Li Nuo was sure that the tomb robber never arrived here, so how did he know that Wenzong's tomb was empty?
The tomb robber was able to take Li Nuo into the ditch before he died, so he was proud of himself.
In fact, he deliberately used this lie to stimulate Li Nuo, so as to frighten his soul and seize his body.
Who would have thought that with such good luck, the lies would come true!
"There are no bones left of the guarding eunuch, and although there is no one to control the eighty-eight-year-old female corpse, there is poison in the body... It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go out first."
Li Nuo looked at Qin Xiaolou and motioned for her to activate the Sanqi Shenniu to take everyone out.
The Shenniu can only carry four people at a time, so it needs to be carried twice.
Midnight, ugly time.
Li Nuo got on the sacred bull and began to take off. He was about to crawl into the earth on the top of the tomb wall to escape.
And he inadvertently looked down, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The crystal coffin is in the center, with eighty-eight coffins guarding it in eight directions... At first glance, this pattern looks very much like... the Bagua Diagram!
But he had no time to think about it. The sacred cow had already escaped into the stone wall. He had to pay close attention to his surroundings, because from time to time, some sharp gravel would fly in.
After more than half an hour, we finally reached the ground.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted and exhausted, Li Nuo said: "Brother Qin, Brother Nangong, Master Huijue, and Miss Xiaolou, please go back to the camp to rest first. Lieutenant Zhang, you three will stay in the camp for a while, don't you?"
If you want to move around, please keep what happened in Wenzong’s mausoleum a secret. We will make detailed discussions and arrangements after daybreak.”
Li Nuo still trusted Qin Fusu and his party.
The remaining soldiers, Zhang Dali and others, must be closely monitored.
He then asked Da Hei Niu and Lao Ma Yao to personally wait outside Zhang Dali's camp.
Zhang Dali and others did not dare to complain.
In fact, they were also very panicked.
The disappearance of Wenzong's body was a serious matter. If it was not handled well, they would definitely be killed and silenced. So they really didn't dare to act lightly, lest they irritate the sensitive nerves of the imperial envoy.
The night fades.
Wake up at dawn.
Chenshi.
Everyone was a practitioner, and two hours of rest was enough to refresh their spirits, so Li Nuo called them to the military tent.
However, the army was simple and simple, and there was no good food or entertainment.
There is only meager food.
Qin Xiaolou wrinkled his nose, looked at the unappetizing breakfast on the table, and said dissatisfied: "Li Zian, make a decision quickly. I haven't eaten candied haws for most of the day, and I am very hungry."
It purred."
However, the others gave Li Nuo some face and ate this simple breakfast.
Not to mention...
The delicacies from the mountains and seas every day were replaced by simple meals today, and it was really a different experience.
Li Nuo said while eating: "This matter is of great importance. Brother Qin and I have discussed it. We must forget everything we saw in the imperial mausoleum. Come on, come on, let's drink this bowl of talisman water quickly. Everyone has it."
A portion..."
This talisman water was of course prepared by Qin Fusu.
After taking it, it will tamper with everyone's memory of last night, and the duration will only last for a few months at most, depending on the person. But it is enough for Li Nuo.
Qin Xiaolou's hobby was making mechanisms, so of course she didn't want to get involved in such nonsense, so she drank the talisman water simply.
When others saw this, they followed suit.
Seeing that everyone had drank the talisman water, Li Nuo thanked him with satisfaction: "Thank you all for your help. I will keep this favor in mind. The matter here is over. You can go back now."
Everyone looked dazed, but they soon came to their senses. The talisman water had taken effect. In their memories, they had done Li Nuo a big favor. As for what kind of favor it was, everyone's memory was different.
"Zian, when you return to Chang'an, I will treat you to a drink."
"Amitabha, if Donor Li returns to Chang'an, please come to Xiangguo Temple to talk. The poor monk has many Buddhist questions that he would like to ask Donor Li for advice."
…
Everyone left soon.
Not long after, Wang Jincheng, who had been fighting with the eunuch in the mountains for most of the night, woke up and his injuries improved. He then went to Li Nuo and told Li Nuo in detail about the eunuch's knowledge of witchcraft.
"Brother Wang, I already know about this matter... I suspect that the witch clan has infiltrated into the palace."
Li Nuo said with a solemn expression.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I don't care about these things. Your Majesty asked me to rewrite the "Dayin Code". This is a big deal, and I'm very busy."
Wang Jincheng said.
As a Hanlin editor, he prefers to deal with books rather than solving cases.
He returned to Chang'an in style. But before leaving, he looked at Li Nuo with a much kinder look. At this moment, he truly recognized Li Nuo.
As for Lu Jiadi, the director of the Ministry of Industry, he was not forgotten by everyone, but was detained in the military camp by Li Nuo, watched by Captain Chen.
Unexpectedly, this move was really the right one!
Li Nuo found the name of Lu Jiadi's father in the file copied by Wang Jincheng.
The name is rather unremarkable.
Lu Jiadi's father was the eighth in the family, hence the name Lu Ba. Lu Jiadi's grandfather was an honest farmer, so his level of naming was similar.
However, Wang Jincheng was extremely serious and detailed in his work, and even wrote down his nickname after Lu Ba - Lu Ba Ba!
Li Nuo didn't think there was anything strange at first.
but!
The pattern formed by the placement of the coffins in the tomb is a Bagua picture!
