Chapter 227: Bullying her because she has never been to school?
From this perspective, Master Yue seems to know something.
Xu Yanyi didn't rush her, she waited patiently.
After a while, Master Yue finally spoke: "I have heard before that the construction and layout here were planned according to a sacred mountain. Now looking at the topographic map in this painting, it is indeed so."
Sacred mountain?
Xu Yanyi frowned: "So, where is that mountain and what is it called?"
Master Yue looked at her deeply and said, "Beyond the northwest sea, in the corner of the great wilderness, there is a mountain that does not fit together, and it is called Buzhou."
Good guys!
Mount Buzhou?
Isn't this thing from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Are you really bullying her because she has never been to school?
Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes speechlessly: "You are not kidding, are you?"
Master Yue knew she didn't believe him, so he didn't explain too much. He looked around and said, "Since this is a library, there should be a lot of books like this. I'll go look for them."
After saying this, Master Yue walked towards the bookshelf.
Soon, Master Yue came over with a pile of books and placed them in front of her one by one: "There are a lot of books, and they are very neatly arranged and classified. Otherwise, it would be hard to find them."
Master Yue opened all the books he could find, and they all described the location of the sacred mountain Buzhou. Coincidentally, they all had the shape of Buzhou drawn on them, which was exactly the same as what Xu Yanyi saw.
Xu Yanyi took a look and said, "Mu Nanzhou has also seen this, why didn't he realize it was a sacred mountain like Mount Buzhou?"
Master Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Didn't you see that? Most people wouldn't pay attention to the things in these mythological stories. Even if they read the descriptions in books, they wouldn't remember them particularly well, right?"
"That's true, but how did you see it so quickly?"
Xu Yanyi always felt that Master Yue had something else to say.
Master Yue said calmly: "When I have nothing to do, I often read these books to kill time. I read a lot and I am interested, so I remember them."
Xu Yanyi pursed her lips and tapped lightly on the Buzhou Mountain drawings in the book: "So, what you mean is that when father built the summer resort, he built it according to the Buzhou Mountain drawings. Did he want to make this place a sacred mountain?"
"There is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not."
Master Yue suddenly said.
Xu Yanyi nodded: "That's what you mean."
After thinking for a while, Master Yue lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the late emperor wanted to become an immortal and live forever."
Xu Yanyi's heart tightened. She had indeed seen this in the original owner's memory. Emperor Taizong was obsessed with all kinds of Taoist and immortal techniques, so he sent people to look for magical elixirs in the fairy mountains in order to achieve immortality and ascend to heaven.
"You mean to say that the Summer Resort was built in the shape of Mount Buzhou according to the emperor's wishes, and it might have been a place chosen by the emperor for cultivating immortality?"
Xu Yanyi quickly followed Master Yue's thoughts.
“It is a real possibility.”
Master Yue nodded.
Xu Yanyi thought of the painting that the Wang family also had, and suddenly asked: "What if another family also has this painting, but it is scaled down? What does this mean?"
Master Yue was startled and blurted out: "You are talking about... the painting of the Wang family is of Ruofeng Mountain, but the Ten Thousand Horses Galloping is indeed very similar."
I didn’t expect that Master Yue also knew about it.
Xu Yanyi immediately asked: "The background of the painting by Wang's family is Ruofeng Mountain. If you don't look carefully, you will think it is the same as this one, just scaled down. But the weird thing is that all the horses in his painting of thousands of galloping horses are the same as the horses here, even the range of their legs is the same..."
And the most important thing is that someone used deep hypnosis to induce Miss Wang into schizophrenia. When she was ill, her other personality always tried to collude with people in the military to obtain military secrets and intelligence.
Master Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, there was a right-hand man in the Tiger Shark Hall who came from the Western Regions. He said there was a kind of painting specifically used for hypnosis, and its effect could last for several months. I don't know how it was done, but the paintings he made for hypnosis were all pictures of galloping horses."
"What?" Xu Yanyi felt a chill down her spine. "This painting was painted by my father himself. Do you mean..."
"I don't know, but the Tiger Shark Hall does have such a Right Envoy, and the late emperor also sent people to look for this Right Envoy in the palace, but he was never found. After all, the Tiger Shark Hall is a very secretive place."
Master Yue walked forward and carefully observed the painting of galloping horses. "Looking closely, it doesn't look like the Right Envoy painted it himself, but it does have some similarities to his style. I'm not sure if the late emperor has found the Right Envoy, and I'm even less sure if the late emperor has learned such paintings from the Right Envoy. This just reminds me of the illness of the girl from the Wang family."
Indeed, the painting hung in the room of the young lady from the Wang family was a reduced version of that painting, and she had indeed been under deep hypnosis.
If what Master Yue said is true, then does it mean that it is possible that these two paintings of thousands of galloping horses were actually created by the right-hand man of the Tiger Shark Hall?
After all, both paintings use the theme of thousands of galloping horses. The only difference is the background, one is Ruofeng Mountain and the other is the mythical Buzhou Mountain. After all, the late emperor did have the idea of ascending to heaven and achieving immortality, so it is understandable that Buzhou Mountain was painted instead of Ruofeng Mountain.
Moreover, the late emperor attributed the painting to himself and said that he had painted it, but it was just a cover-up.
But if this is the case, who is Emperor Taizong trying to hypnotize?
Yuqing Palace... There was no fixed person living there before. It was just a place where Emperor Taizong would paint and rest in his spare time.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, and they seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Mengyan hid outside the door and watched secretly. She couldn't hear what Master Yue and Xu Yanyi said, but she clearly saw that Xu Yanyi and Master Yue were very close to each other, and the two didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Mengyan turned around and ran. She angrily left the princess's mansion and headed towards the Lin family.
The Lin family had just arrived in the capital, and Mu Liufang arrived half a day in advance. He was currently directing the servants to clean up the house in the Lin family's newly-built mansion. The masters of the Lin family were all resting at the moment.
"Miss, you are back."
When a servant saw Lin Mengyan coming back, he immediately stepped forward to salute her.
Lin Mengyan didn't even glance at it, and quickly walked up to Mu Liufang: "Mother, you still have the mind to arrange this and that here!"
Mu Liufang was stunned and turned back: "What's wrong?"
Lin Mengyan stamped her feet, pulled Mu Liufang to one side, and whispered in her ear: "That shameless bitch Xu Yanyi put Li Qiu'er in the cell. She was actually being affectionate with Master Yue in front of the prince. The prince is already furious about this! What should we do!"
