Chapter 048: The Duan Family's Old Mansion

Song Xiafan's cry stung Duan Long's nerves.

We're really afraid of anything, we just felt that there was a secret hidden in the old house, why did we get robbed?

We didn't dare to waste time and immediately rushed to the courtyard.

At this time, I realized that the courtyard was in a mess, and the doors of the house were open.

Song Xiafan was looking at us with a confused expression, not knowing what to do at all.

"Xiaofan, what's wrong?"

"I just went out to buy some groceries, and it was less than half an hour.

As soon as I got home, it became like this!"

As soon as Song Xiafan's words came out, my eyelids immediately jumped.

You know, the Duan family's old mansion is quite big.

To turn the yard into this shape in half an hour, I think there must be at least a dozen people.

However, I went around with Duan Long and found another strange thing.

Although the house was turned into a mess, no belongings were lost.

And we looked back and forth, and the whole old mansion didn't even leave a footprint.

More than a dozen thieves committed crimes at the same time, and they were able to leave no footprints, it seems that these people are all masters.

But we didn't make a noise about this matter, so as not to scare Song Xiafan.

After all, she had just experienced Duan Hu's affair, and she couldn't bear any stimulation anymore.

Duan Long and I knew in our hearts that these people should also be looking for the secrets of the old mansion.

We'll just have to rearrange it all and see if we can find any clues.

It took us all afternoon to get everything packed.

But we still haven't found anything.

But at this time, I remembered what Duan Long said before, and his father didn't let them in.

I asked Duan Long to take me to those rooms to have a look.

There are five rooms in the house Duan Long said.

These five rooms, with exactly the same layout, look like five ordinary guest rooms, and there is nothing unusual about them.

We searched the five rooms and found no mezzanine or anything out of the ordinary.

I'm a little skeptical now that I'm thinking too much, that this old mansion has no secrets at all.

After a busy afternoon, Duan Long and I sat on the steps to rest.

"Brother Duan, have you ever heard from your family before, why did the prince give this house to your family back then?"

"I don't know much about this, it seems that my ancestors helped the prince invite some kind of master, saying that it can change the fate of the prince.

As soon as the prince was pleased, he gave this house to our family.

By the way, I heard that the master also designed feng shui for this house, saying that he could make people here outstanding!"

When I heard the word Feng Shui, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration in my head.

In fact, not all the five rooms were exactly the same.

There are some furnishings in their house, which are different.

In the first room, a bronze lamp hangs.

In the second room, there is a goldfish bowl.

In the third room, a copper gourd was hung.

In the fourth room, there was a rosewood case.

In the fifth room, there is a piece of blue and white porcelain.

Wait a minute, don't the furnishings in these five rooms just represent gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?

The copper gourd is gold, the rosewood is wood, the goldfish bowl is water, the bronze lamp is fire, and the blue and white porcelain is earth.

There are five elements in each of the five rooms, can it be said that ......

I immediately took out a pen and paper and asked Duan Long to mark the directions of the five rooms.

When he marked the five rooms, I noticed another surprise.

These five rooms are actually distributed in the five corners of the entire house, and they are connected by a five-pointed star.

Obviously, these five houses represent the five elements.

But after looking at it for a while, I realized another thing.

Although there were things with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the room, the direction in which they were placed was not correct, but instead reversed.

Seeing this, I showed a look of sudden realization.

I immediately called Duan Long and asked him to take out those five things with me.

They were then placed in five rooms in the correct orientation of the five elements.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a small feng shui array.

As long as you rearrange these five elements, you should be able to find something.

A few of us worked hard and quickly put the five things back together.

As we set up the last bronze lamp, I suddenly felt a vibration in the whole house.

Before we could figure out the situation, I suddenly noticed that there was a crack in the middle of the house.

A small temple slowly rose out of the ground.

After a few of us ran over, we found that it was actually a small City God Temple.

However, there is no idol in the temple, but a long wooden box.

Duan Long and I glanced at each other, and quickly took out the wooden box.

It can be seen that the wooden box must have been stored underground for a long time, and there are some signs of weathering on the outside.

But fortunately, a layer of wax was applied to the outside of this box, and I hope the contents are okay.

At the moment of opening the box, a somewhat yellowed picture scroll appeared in front of us.

"Why is there a sub-painting?" Duan Long was a little puzzled.

"Open it up and take a look, maybe it's a famous masterpiece!"

As soon as I urged like this, Duan Long immediately opened the picture scroll.

But when the scroll opened, we were shocked by what was inside.

I don't know if it's a masterpiece of celebrities, but it shows a man with a sword on his back.

The man looked to be in his early 20s, and he was wearing an ancient outfit.

He has a red dragon head jade plaque hanging on his waist, and he actually carries my seven-star dragon slaying sword behind his back!

When I saw this painting, I suddenly remembered what happened before.

If I'm not mistaken, the person on this painting should be the master who went to Canglong Ridge back then, and he is also the one who arranged the Eight Coffins Soul Locking Array.

Wait a minute, before I only knew that he might have a dragon slaying sword, but now he actually has a dragon head jade plaque in the painting.

But the dragon head jade plate is obviously a relic of his grandfather, why did it appear on his body?

Could it be that this person has something to do with grandpa?

There were so many things I couldn't figure out, and my head was messed up like mush.

And at this time, Song Xiafan seemed to have discovered something surprising, and suddenly pointed to the picture scroll and shouted.

"What's wrong, Xiaofan?"

"Look at the two of you, look at the face of this portrait!"

The face of this portrait is just a normal man's face, not a grimace, why is she afraid?

But when we looked at the man's face again, I was scared into a cold sweat.

This man's face looks exactly like mine!
