When Master Jingming arrived, he brought the key to the underground palace, but his expression was a little nervous. "Marty, the underground palace is customary for thirty years, which means protecting the national veins. Now it is opened to investigate the case. If it affects the national destiny—"

Huo Weilou looked at Jingming with some surprise, "The master is a great monk. You should know that the Buddha's spiritual bones are the Buddha's spiritual bones, not the empty underground palace. Now the spiritual bones and relics have long been lost. How can the master think that opening an underground palace can affect the fate of the country?"

Jingming's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, I will take the marquis into the underground palace."

Huo Weilou nodded, Lin Huai and others naturally followed, Bo Ruoyou followed behind, and Eunuch Fu beside him said excitedly: "The underground palace is usually not allowed. Ten years ago, our family had never entered the underground palace. This holy land that enshrines the spiritual bones of Buddha. It is rumored that only monks who have attained enlightenment can have blessings in. Ordinary people will have longevity when they enter."

Bo Ruoyou had no expression when he heard it. Eunuch Fu looked at her, "Youyou, you are not afraid..."

Bo Ruoyou was a little embarrassed, "I will not hide it from my father-in-law. When a young girl was young, someone asserted that she could not live for eighteen years. Now she is only half a year away from her eighteen years old. If she really cuts her life, she won't lose much."

Eunuch Fu took a deep breath, "Bao, bah, don't say that, Buddha and the gods in the sky listened to it. It would be bad if it was taken seriously..."

Bo Ruoyou laughed and Eunuch Fu said suspiciously: "How could anyone make such an assertion? Is it a lie monk or Taoist priest? Do you still tell you that as long as you give me a lot of money, you can help you break the disaster?"

However, Bo Ruoyou said, "My father-in-law guessed wrongly, and the Taoist priest said he would not be able to pay."

Eunuch Fu was surprised, "This is unreasonable..."

Bo Ruoyou curled his lips and smiled, as if he didn't take this matter seriously. She turned her eyes and looked at Master Jingming walking in front of her, "When did my father-in-law leave after attending the Relics Ceremony ten years ago?"

Eunuch Fu sighed, "At that time, the relics were lost, Your Majesty was furious. The sacrificial ceremony was auspicious, but the loss of the relics would not only affect the national fortune, but also a sign of great danger. Your Majesty was tired from going south and felt a little uncomfortable that night. He had originally planned to leave on the third day. Later, early the next morning, Your Majesty went down the mountain and went back to Beijing. At that time, the matter was handed over to the prefect of Luozhou, that is, Lord Feng, General Yue was the general at that time and was also assisting. Lord Wu and Lord Wang were already responsible for the matter of the ceremony and wanted to leave the aftermath, so they also inspected the matter with them."

Eunuch Fu said helplessly: "But after a month of investigation, nothing was found. Lord Feng was scolded for this and was promoted to the capital five years later. Lord Wu and Lord Wang were also somewhat affected."

Bo Ruoyou stared at him, "Where is General Yue?"

Eunuch Fu said: "General Yue naturally failed to avoid it, but later General Yue made great contributions to suppressing bandits, so he entered the Zhenxi Army. For military generals, the position of generals is not low, but if there is no military merit, it will be difficult to climb up by relying on suppressing bandits and maintaining security."

Bo Ruoyou didn't know much about official positions in the court, but after hearing Eunuch Fu's words, his eyes suddenly appeared.

The group left the mortal yard, followed the main road in the temple, and then went up the steps, passing through the abbot's room, the Dharma Hall, the Sutra Tower and other places, and then went to a high platform. The pine and cypress towers were towering on the platform, and the bluestone main road was divided into two, leading up to the Changming Pagoda on the top of the mountain, and going eastward.

Jingming pointed to the east, "The entrance to the underground palace is on the east--"

While walking, Jingming said, "The underground palace was built in the previous dynasty based on a natural cave. The main body is in the belly of Qixia Mountain. After entering the outer gate, there are four major gates. Ten years ago, I was accompanied by the host's senior brother and two other uncles. The two uncles were also looking at each other and passed away a few years ago."

Huo Weilou did not comment. Soon, the group saw a copper door embedded in the stone wall in the dense pine forest.

The stone wall is straight, with Buddha's verses on both sides, and a thick and simple bronze gate in the middle. Two monks guarding the left and right at the door. They were surprised to see Jingming appear.

Jingming said, "Wu Zhaohou represents Your Down, go to the underground palace to take a look."

The two monks looked at each other, retreated to both sides, and stood with monk sticks in their hands. Jingming said again: "They are monks from the Arhat Hall, who are responsible for guarding the underground palace. This place will last for six hours without any resistance to wind and rain. It is difficult for monks who have good concentration to hold on."

After Jing Ming said that, he took out a few keys the size of a palm and opened the first lock.

After ten years of opening, the copper lock was difficult. Jingming took some effort to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a humid and humid air rushed towards him. Jingming made people hold the lamp and lead everyone into the corridor.

The five heavy gates were only able to enter the underground palace after entering the last level. Everyone was silent all the way. Before the fifth level gate, they held their breath and concentrated. With a "click", the copper lock opened in response to the sound, and the thick copper gate opened. The underground palace of the Famen Temple hidden behind the mysterious veil came into everyone's eyes.

The entrance is the seventy-nine stone steps. Upwards, there is a stone-carved lotus pond platform, with a corridor at the end, and the corridor inside is the front room of the underground palace. Jingming pointed to the front room, "There are also the middle room, the back room and the secret niche. The five-level treasure box contains relics, which have been worshipped in the secret niche--"

As soon as I entered the front room, I saw a Buddhist pagoda in the middle. There was also a Buddhist secret treasure inside the pagoda. Huo Weilou had never asked much, and went to the middle room after passing the stone gate. There was a white marble spirit tent in the middle room, which was enshrined with a Buddhist magic weapon. There was a three-level treasure box in the back room, which was also enshrined with a Buddhist secret treasure. After passing the stone gate here, Huo Weilou saw the copper box enshrined on the lotus platform at a glance.

The copper box has a simple shape and is equipped with a lock, but at this moment, the rivets on one side of the lock are loose, and there are several Buddhist verses carved on it. Just looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell whether there is a relic inside it. Seeing this copper box, Jingming seemed to remember the changes in that year. "The senior brother held this box in his hand and welcomed the relic, but it was placed on the ceremony for less than a day, and something happened. In front of everyone, no one knew how the relic disappeared out of thin air."

Huo Weilou asked: "Did the copper box be opened at the ceremony that day?"

Jingming shook his head, "No, these five treasure letters were all opened by the monks of the previous dynasty. Every time the ceremony was held, they would invite a copper box instead of taking out the relics directly. Moreover, the key to the copper box had been lost in the previous dynasty and had not been opened for more than a hundred years. On that day, Your Majesty ordered people to open the copper box, which was pried open by the guards with a knife. Because of this, the monks felt even more strange. Who could steal the golden coffin and the glass bottle containing the relics through the wooden trunk of the copper box."

Huo Weilou picked up the copper box. He took this Buddhist treasure very casually. Jingming wanted to speak but stopped, but he was holding it in his mouth. Huo Weilou waved to the last Lu Ke and followed him, "Come and take a look."

There was no sunlight in the underground palace. Five heavy doors and inner stone doors provided great protection for several palaces. Lu Ke took the copper box in his hand, and almost no gray stains were stained. He only glanced at the lock on the copper box and said, "This is a lock in northern Shanxi. The lock is square, but the lock hole is very unique. The lock key is in the shape of a long handle spoon. The bottom of the spoon has hollow patterns. The lock hole can be unlocked by inlaying the pattern in the lock hole. The dark patterns inside the lock are different, one lock and one key. If you don't know that the lock structure will never be opened without damage."

On that day, Emperor Jianhe ordered the copper box to be opened, and the rivets on one side of the copper lock were pried open, but at this point the copper box was damaged. How did the thief open the copper box that day?

Huo Weilou didn't believe in any way of collecting objects in the partition walls. He opened the copper box and saw that the sandalwood box and silver coffin were both there. These two treasure boxes were also very exquisite, but there was no deadlock.

"Take the copper box out." Huo Weilou ordered Lu Ke.

Several palaces were all in a small space and were separated by a stone gate, which was a lot of obstacles. Huo Weilou looked at the various places with a stern look and asked, "Can anyone outside know about this copper box structure?"

Master Jingming shook his head, "It should not be that this thing was found in the previous dynasty. Later, it has been dedicated to the underground palace, and very few people have seen it."

Huo Weilou's eyes were still not silenced. Bo Ruoyou was far away and was also looking at the copper box. Huo Weilou waved, "Come on—"

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward, Lu Ke didn't dare to be slight today, so he hurriedly showed the copper box. Bo Ruoyou looked at the loose rivets, opened the lid and looked at it. The sandalwood box and silver coffin inside were both intact. She said, "This thing was only opened once ten years ago?"

Master Jingming nodded, "That's exactly what it is."

Bo Ruoyou said, "Marty, it's dark here, you can only observe carefully when you go out."

The underground palace itself was free of charge, and Huo Weilou did not delay it. He led a group of people to come out. Bo Ruoyou fell behind and left the dark room, and couldn't help but look at the lotus base enshrined in the copper box.

This base is also the same seat. Because she was old and had a simple and dark color. She thought about it and then came out with everyone.

The underground palace was narrow and dark. When they walked out, everyone exhaled and the group returned to the yard where the mortal was stopped.

Ming Guilan was still testing his bones. Seeing that everyone was coming and going quickly, he was a little surprised. Lu Ke held the copper box and placed it on the long desk. Jing Ming said, "Amitabha" and hurriedly took off his cassock, "Please put this thing on the cassock."

Lu Ke touched his nose and did as he did.

Seeing that Jingming was really tightly tight, Bo Ruoyou came forward to check it out after his hand. The walls of the copper box were as smooth as a mirror. Not to mention opening, there was no scratch. It shows that it has been well preserved for many years. In addition to loose rivets, there was no trace of damage on the lock. Bo Ruoyou frowned and said, "Menius once heard that the lock in northern Jin Dynasty was created by a very famous locksmith in Jinzhou in the previous dynasty. Because of the complex internal structure and complex craftsmanship, ordinary people rarely use this lock. Since this is the case, the method of unlocking will not be widely circulated."

Huo Weilou didn't expect that Bo Ruoyou knew a lot, so he said, "Even so, those who steal relics will not really have the ability to take things from a distance, and there are no traces of damage on the copper box. Most of them will start with the lock."

Bo Ruoyou responded and checked carefully. Lin Huai said, "But the copper box was under the noses of everyone that day, how could the thief unlock the lock and steal things?"

Huo Weilou sneered at the corner of his lips, "There must be a way. No matter how the thief is going to be mysterious, it is inevitable to unlock the lock. Let's see if there is evidence in this box."

Seeing Ming Guilan examining the pile of human bones, Huo Weilou asked him: "What did you find?"

Ming Guilan shook his head, "Marty, I am quite helpless this time."

Huo Weilou said, "No hurry."

At this time, Bo Ruoyou rustled, and Huo Weilou turned around and saw Bo Ruoyou take out his close-fitting snow-colored handkerchief from his sleeve. She rubbed something on one corner of the sandalwood box inside. When she took out the handkerchief, she saw a black stain on the snow-colored handkerchief. The stain was dry and she couldn't tell what it was. Bo Ruoyou picked it up with his fingertips, "It looked like lamp oil."

"show me--"

Ming Guilan spoke, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly handed the handkerchief, and Ming Guilan put it in the light and looked at it, "It is indeed a fat, rosin, or ghee. It's possible that it's too long, it's all dry."

Bo Ruoyou looked at Master Jingming, and Jingming's expression changed slightly, "This... after opening once ten years ago, no one touched him again and sent him back to the underground palace."

In other words, it only opened ten years ago in the past hundred years.

Lin Huai hesitated for a moment, "Either it was left by the guards when His Majesty ordered it to be opened, or it was left by the thief."

Jingming said, "At that time, it was the lock opened by the Imperial Guard around His Majesty. After it was opened with a knife, the senior brother came forward to check it out. The senior brother always respected the holy objects and did not have any dirt on his hands."

That was left by the thief.

Huo Weilou stared at, "It's not surprising that the thief was in the temple and was stained with some lamp oil. Where was the lamp oil in the temple that day?"

Jingming smiled bitterly, "The eternal lights are lit everywhere."

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "Draw a sketch of the arrangement of the temple that day, where is the eternal light placed on it, and where is the eternal light lit, so be sure not to miss it. If you still remember, please draw all the people closest to the relics."

A little sweat had already emerged from Jingming's forehead. After hearing this, he wiped the sweat, and said, "I will draw it for the marquis within today."

Huo Weilou nodded, Jingming retreated. Bo Ruoyou carefully checked the Muhan silver coffin in the copper box, and found the same stain in the carved dark patterns of the silver coffin. More than one stain proved that someone had opened the copper box, but it was incredible how the thief succeeded in the public that day.

"Mr. Marquis, several adults have arrived."

Outside, Eunuch Fu reported softly. Huo Weilou looked back and saw Wang Qingfu and Wu Yu arrive. The three of them stepped forward to salute. Wu Yu said, "I wonder if the marquis has any orders?"

The three of them arranged the ceremony. Huo Weilou was about to ask the details of that year, so he asked the three of them to go into the right wing to investigate. When Bo Ruoyou saw Huo Weilou leave, he carefully checked the inside and outside of the copper box, but found nothing. Although the air flow in the underground palace was not painful, the palace was even more dry, but after ten years, the evidence was still possible.

She wrinkled beautifully, her face was solemn, and her body was also immersed in the test of the cold and calm body. Ming Guilan looked at Bo Ruoyou, and her eyes were stuck on her for a moment. After Bo Ruoyou found that Ming Guilan was looking at him for a while, she bumped into Ming Guilan's gaze, and was a little surprised, "What advice do you have?"

Ming Guilan laughed and shook his head, "Of course not. It's just that looking at your appearance reminds me of someone."

Bo Ruoyou raised his eyebrows, Ming Guilan pointed to the right wing, "Marquis, I think of Marquis."

Bo Ruoyou was even more surprised. Ming Guilan said, "I have some stubbornness and focus. Such a person will excel no matter what he does. At a young age, his coroner art is far better than ordinary coroner art. If a man can enter the official position to seek fame, it's a pity that he is a daughter. Do you want to learn medical skills?"

Medical skills and coroner arts have similarities, and Ming Guilan is from a famous family of doctors. If he wants to study medicine, it is really close to the water and tower. However, Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Minister women are specialized in coroner arts, and they have some knowledge of medical skills, but they are hard to distract from studying."

Ming Guilan was a little surprised that it was not a long-term way for his daughter to do coronership at home, but if she practiced medical skills, she would not only be respected by others, but also gain a good reputation for herself. He sighed, "Miss Bo is admirable."

Bo Ruoyou said frankly, "I dare not take it." Seeing that the copper box was really nothing, he had to put it aside and walked to the desk to see the pile of white bones. The ribs were broken, and there were no scars elsewhere, nor were there poisoning. It was difficult to determine a person's identity with this pile of white bones. Bo Ruoyou stared at him and picked up pieces of bones or split or connect them, and checked them repeatedly.

Soon, Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, "Young Master is good at medical treatment. You can tell that if a person has no external injuries, bone spurs will appear in his joints. Why is he sick?"

This is Director Ming Guilan. He immediately said: "Many joint pain symptoms are like this. Major bone disease is one, with swelling of the knuckles, ankles, knees, etc., and wind pain is two. At this time, the joints will also be painful and swollen, and osteophytes will appear inside. What is the bone spur you mentioned? "

Bo Ruoyou gave two pieces of finger bones to Ming Guilan. "At the beginning, the young woman only found small bone spurs on her knees, etc., but after the murderer murdered the dead, he dismembered the body with a sharp weapon. The young woman was left with a knife scraped by the murderer's bento. But now the young woman found that there were also knuckles, but the murderer did not even dismembered the knuckles. Therefore, these bone spurs must have been grown by the dead themselves."

Ming Guilan looked at the two finger bones carefully, "If this is the case, the patients will often suffer from pain in their knuckles, especially after fatigue."

Bo Ruoyou was sure that a single evidence could not determine the identity of the deceased, but if he obtained iron evidence from the corpse, it would be very different. So he went out to ask the embroidered garment envoy, "Just now, I think the two masters are still there?"

Liaofan and Liaojue did not follow him to the underground palace, and after they came back, they did not see the two of them. The embroidered eunuch said, "They have already returned. Do the girl want to see them?"

Bo Ruoyou was about to nod, but heard the sound of talking outside the yard, and his words were fierce, as if he was arguing. The movement caused Eunuch Fu and Lin Huai to come out of the right wing, so the few of them walked to the gate of the yard together.

Outside the courtyard, Ye Fan and a monk who seemed to be in the middle of the year were quarreling.

"Master Lefan, what's wrong?"

Seeing that it was alarmed, Lefan turned around and bowed, "The little monk heard that the Marquis came out of the underground palace and wanted to ask, but saw Senior Brother Qing sneaking in the outer courtyard-"

The other monk immediately turned red when he heard this, his face turned red, "Junior brother, why are you sneaking? Don't talk nonsense, I'm just here to see it."
