Chapter 159: The General's Mansion

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning......

It was still Qin Ming who was the first to get up, and woke up Nian Cheng and Nian Ling'er.

After the three of them washed up, went downstairs and had breakfast, they took a taxi and drove towards the ancient ruins......

Qin Ming and the three sat in the back seat of the taxi, Nian Ling'er sat in the middle, Nian Cheng sat on the left, and Qin Ming sat on the right.

"Huh...... You're outsiders, aren't you?" said a slightly fat middle-aged man, the driver's master.

"Uh-huh, did the driver guess by listening to the accent?" Nian Cheng nodded.

"It's not. The driver replied simply.

"Hmm, what's the reason for that?" Nian Cheng wondered.

"The locals don't call it an ancient ruin, they call it the General's Mansion!" explained the driver.

"General's Mansion?!" Nian Ling'er and Nian Cheng both said with surprised faces.

"Well, it's the General's Mansion, in fact, the ancient ruins rumored some time ago have been confirmed to be a general's mansion. The driver said.

"This ...... Isn't that deceiving those of us who come here?, what's so nice about a general's mansion?!" Nian Ling'er said with some emotion and disappointment.

Nian Ling'er was particularly interested in historical relics, and when she heard that it was just a general's mansion, she was immediately disappointed......

"Huh...... Girl, that's not what you're saying, before this the general's mansion was indeed called an ancient ruin, including our locals. The driver paused and continued.

"But...... Girl, don't underestimate this general's mansion, there are all kinds of cultural relics unearthed in the collection! It will definitely open your eyes!" said the driver with a proud face.

This general's mansion was discovered in his hometown of Yancheng, which is naturally a matter of pride.

"Really, how many cultural relics can a general's mansion have?!" Nian Ling'er said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! I don't have to lie to you, you'll know when you get to the General's Mansion!" said the driver's master with a determined gaze.

"Oh!" Nian Ling'er nodded.

"By the way, you are outsiders, you shouldn't know the rules, right?!" said the driver.

"Hmm, what rules?!" Nian Ling'er asked.

"When you arrive at the General's Mansion, you must obey the regulations formulated by the management of the scenic spot, and you must never comment on the cultural relics, and you must leave the General's Mansion before four o'clock in the afternoon!" said the driver with a serious face.

"Hmm, where did this rule come from?" Qin Ming said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

"I heard that it was set by the general of the General's Palace! No one can violate it, otherwise, ...... It can be a year and a half of bad luck, or a direct and inexplicable death!"

The driver lowered his voice and said carefully.

"Hmm, haven't you looked for a cultivator, go to the General's Mansion to investigate?!" Qin Ming's eyes were like torches.

"I've seen it, but all those cultivators are so frightened that they are dying! Some even fainted on the spot!" the driver lowered his voice again, and said with a panicked look.

"Huh?"

Qin Ming frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, there must be something unclean in this general's mansion, and it was very tricky......

"It's almost time to arrive at the General's Mansion, don't talk about it, I see that you guys are quite eye-catching, and I will give you a few more instructions. The driver said with a serious face.

"Huh...... Thank you for the reminder from the driver, otherwise it would be bad for us strangers to accidentally violate some taboos and get into trouble. Qin Ming smiled lightly.

"It's okay, I'm also thinking about our Yancheng, after all, if something happens, the basket can't be covered if it's bigger!" said the driver with a straight face.

Qin Ming frowned, not speaking, thoughtful......

"It's the General's Mansion in front, and my taxi can only go here!" the driver said apologetically, pulling over.

"Well, okay, I'm sorry for the driver!" Qin Ming said and paid for the car on WeChat, and the three of them got out of the car.

Qin Ming and the three of them raised their heads and moved forward, and what they saw in their eyes was very different from the imaginary general's mansion, it was more like a palace than a general's mansion, and it was magnificent! It was quite similar to the Forbidden City in our impression!

But...... The divine beasts at the door are very different from the Forbidden City, and there are two blood-red gluttons at the entrance of the General's Mansion!

The ancient gluttony is also a divine beast, but also a magical beast, both good and evil! The feng shui layout is well used, and it can swallow great wealth, if it is laid out in the wrong feng shui bureau, it will become a thing to shelter yin and attract evil!

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, quietly activated his spiritual power, opened his yin and yang eyes, and carefully observed the two stone gluttons at the door!

…… Qin Ming observed for a long time, but did not find any clues, not only that, but these two stone gluttons were normal, and the yin and yang qi on their bodies were balanced, and there was no sense of disobedience at all......

Qin Ming's brows were tightly locked, his face was solemn, these two gluttons were inevitably too normal?!Generally affected by the Feng Shui Bureau, there will always be some tendencies of yin or yang, and it is strange that yin and yang are too balanced, unless they ...... It's that these two gluttons are purely ornaments, and they don't match feng shui or anything at all......

"Qin Ming, let's go over!" Nian Ling'er said loudly.

“…… Well, let's go, go buy tickets first!" Qin Ming relieved himself and nodded.

There are not as many tourists coming and going from the General's Mansion as there are tourists coming and going from the Smoky Mountains, but ...... There were also a lot of people, and Qin Ming and the three of them lined up again.

Half an hour......

Qin Ming and the three of them finally bought tickets, passed through the ticket gate, and entered the general's mansion.

"Wow, Qin Ming, this general's mansion is also big!"

"Yes, brother-in-law, it's completely different from what I imagined, no wonder the driver master said don't underestimate the General's Mansion!"

Nian Ling'er and Nian Cheng said excitedly.

"Qin Ming, which general's mansion do you say this general's mansion is?!" Nian Ling'er said curiously.

"Hmm...... This one...... I can't guess!" Qin Ming thought about it, and went through it in his mind, there was probably a change of dynasty, as if there was no dynasty similar to the layout of this mansion, and even if there were, it was just a few corners, just a coincidence.

"Sister, aren't you a major in archaeology? You should be very good at history, can you tell which general or which dynasty is it?!" Nian Cheng asked curiously.

"Hmm...... I don't know very well at the moment, maybe we can go in and look at the artifacts and guess a thing or two. Nian Ling'er frowned and thought.

"Huh...... Then let's go in and have a look!" Qin Ming smiled lightly.

"Hmm!"

Nian Ling'er and Nian Cheng nodded.

Qin Ming and the three of them came to the main hall directly opposite the entrance of the General's Mansion.

The main hall is similar to the Forbidden City Gate Hall in our imprint, the only difference is that the golden dragon is carved on the left and right door pillars of the Forbidden City Gate Hall, and the two door pillars in front of us are carved with gluttony!

The plaque above the main hall is written with three blood-red characters, "Guiyang Palace"!

Nian Ling'er and Nian Cheng entered the gate of the Guiyang Hall in the main hall, Qin Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, frowned, and followed Nian Ling'er and Nian Cheng into the "Guiyang Palace......
