Chapter 4: Thieves!
"Damn, no one has lived in this ghost garden for a long time, strange things often happen in it, and suddenly I received the task of cleaning, who wants to come, this haunted house cook can't invite any one and dare not come, only let this fool clean it. The leader of the cleaning team said to the people behind him after walking a distance, and after saying that, he continued to arrange the cleaning tasks of the others.
Just now, Huaxia thought about a lot of things at the gate of the garden, but how to implement it, you still have to come step by step, you can't be in a hurry, the step is too big to pull the egg, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Then the first step is to do a good job as a cleaner, and then take the opportunity to look for clues; Walk into this courtyard called "Yuanba" and take a look at Huaxia; the whole courtyard is divided into east and west sides with the lake as the center, and there are three halls on the west side: the leisure hall, the tea room, and the main hall. On the east side, there are two two-storey lofts in the north and south, which are connected by double corridors between the buildings, and the garden landscape is centered on the lake, and the rockery, pavilion, hallway, corridor, pavilion, pavilion, and boat boat are all built close to the water's edge. Liangxuan, Tianqiao, Xintai, Jiuqu Cloister and rockery, peak stone, flowers and trees correspond to each other to form a thick ink landscape painting scroll, although the area is not very large, but very beautiful, with distinctive characteristics of ancient Chinese garden architecture.
Huaxia has a plan in mind as soon as it looks at the architectural features; since it is an ancient Chinese garden, it is not far from the previous idea; the focus is on how to find clues with the characteristics of the age to prove the era in which they live; the best place to find clues is the study; in ancient times, the study will store a large number of books, as long as you look through these books to check the written records, even if you use the text or the content of the book to scrutinize, you can find the clues you need the fastest.
Normally, there are two attics on the east side of ancient Chinese garden buildings, the upper floor is the bedroom, and the downstairs should be the study or the meeting room; whether it is a study or a meeting room, there are usually books stored. Huaxia is going to go to these two places first.
Huaxia came to the south-facing attic on the east side, there is only one room downstairs, the door of the room is hidden, Huaxia glanced inside through the crack in the door, there is no one in the room, and this is really the study; but there is no plaque or inscription at the door of the study, nothing is found at the door; Huaxia pushes the door open and walks into the study; the study layout is very simple, on the right side is a row of two chairs used by the guests, and on the left side there is a lake-green screen, Huaxia enters the inner hall of the study through the screen, there is a row of bookshelves, a desk and a chair in it; Huaxia turns around in the study, the bookshelf and the desk are empty and there is nothing, only a calligraphy and painting hangs on the wall. The rightmost part of the painting is written in a large seal font "Eight Needles of Jinkui Map"; then from right to left, there are eight similar sketches of the human body, each picture is a little out of the eight acupoints on the body and the acupuncture on the acupoints, next to the text, the text is also written in the big seal font, and the writing is concise and concise, should correspond to the detailed description of each picture, Huaxia did not look carefully at the words above, so I don't know the content recorded between the lines, but at a glance you can see that this should be a picture of acupuncture and moxibustion.
I just said that the big seal first appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was used until the Spring and Autumn Period, and acupuncture was first used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period。。。。。。
"Who are you? Who let you in?" When Hua Xia was thinking, a girl's crisp and pleasant voice came from behind him; although Hua Xia did not understand what the other party said, the other party's tone was very unfriendly, obviously with anger; Hua Xia should have entered the study without the permission of the master here, which caused the master's dissatisfaction; in ancient times, the study was also regarded as a private place.
"I'm here to clean. Hua Xia stretched out his hands to prove something, only to find that when he came over just now, he forgot the cleaning tools at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Get out at once! Didn't I say you weren't allowed to enter the study!" said the girl, pointing to the door.
Hua Xia looked at the girl's angry eyes, and in order to avoid causing more misunderstandings, she retreated out of the door in the direction of the girl's finger.
The girl followed Huaxia out of the study, and after stepping out of the study, she pulled the door of the study and closed it tightly. The girl is about eighteen or nineteen years old, her facial features are very delicate and upright, her pointed melon seed-shaped face, and there is a pair of smart eyes shining with dark light under the curved eyebrows of willow leaves; her jet-black and shiny hair, a simple and capable ponytail, and a moon-white brocade dress; it brings out the girl's beauty, which can be said to be one of the most beautiful girls that Huaxia has ever seen; it is not an exaggeration to describe that there is Wushan Mountain in Padang and the face of a slender goddess。
"Who the hell are you here for?" the girl looked at Huaxia and asked again, Huaxia couldn't understand what the girl said, and didn't know how to answer; Huaxia thought about how to communicate with the other party and explain to others.
Seeing that this Huaxia ignored herself, the girl actually lowered her head and thought about other things, and became even more angry, "I'll ask you who are you one last time? If you don't tell you honestly, don't blame me for being rude!" After finishing speaking, I saw the girl raise her right hand and stretch out her fingers across her chest, and her white and slender fingers began to emit a faint silver light.
Hua Xia looked up and saw the faint luster flickering between the girl's fingers, and suddenly had a bad premonition, remembering that most of the ancients in the novel knew kung fu, and they had to ask for a few tricks if they didn't agree with each other。。。。。。
Hua Xia suddenly felt an idea, quickly pushed open the door of the study, pointed to the "Eight Needles of the Golden Diagram" in the room and said: "I know you don't understand what I'm talking about, but I know the words on it, you should know it too, we can explain to you through text communication, what happened just now!"
Hua Xia's idea was indeed very good, and the two sides communicated through words, but because of his ignorance of this place, he almost made a fatal mistake; he did not know that the picture in the study was an extremely precious book on spiritual practice, and it was not accessible to outsiders; and he simply thought that the picture hung in the study by the master was an ordinary illustration of medical skills. It's good that he didn't point to the picture in the study, but this finger is even more misleading.
"It turns out that you are a thief who came to steal the Xuan-level technique, you are looking for death!" When I saw the girl put her fingers together and was about to quickly point to Huaxia, a middle-aged man's eager voice came from the courtyard, "Le'er, stop!"
Fortunately, the voice appeared in time, and after the girl heard the voice, her fingers slightly deviated to Huaxia's side; a silver light carried a gust of wind whistling past Huaxia's face, and Huaxia's cheeks were hot; after the gangfeng, she only heard a loud "bang" behind her, and the rockery behind her was blown through a big hole.
Huaxia was scared out of a cold sweat, and opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it every day. "This Nima is going to hit me, and I don't have to cross over again!"
"Teacher Wei, why are you here, didn't you go to the medical center!" Seeing the middle-aged man approaching the two, the girl asked curiously.
"I don't think I'm coming, you're going to make a fuss and kill someone. The middle-aged man looked at the girl and pretended to be serious;
"This is a thief, he is here to learn the technique of stealing the Xuan-level medical cultivation in the study. The girl stared at Huaxia with vicious eyes, as if she was complaining to a middle-aged man;
"Ha, ha, ha, since you are a person who can steal the Xuan-level technique, you can still stand here and be beaten by you? The middle-aged man first laughed, and then kindly touched the girl's head.
"Teacher Wei, why does it sound like you're here to help him speak!" the girl felt a little aggrieved, grabbing the middle-aged man's sleeve and shaking it.
"Yes, I did come to him specifically. The middle-aged man pointed to Huaxia and said;
"You're here specifically for him? Strange, Mr. Wei, how did you know he was here? And why didn't he understand what I was saying, and I couldn't understand what he said. "The girl was curious. "Well, well, he doesn't know the official language of the Alliance Dynasty, so he can't understand what you're saying, and he speaks the local dialect, so it's normal that you can't understand it. It can be seen that this middle-aged man known as Teacher Wei dotes on this girl very much, and his tone is very soft when he talks to her.
"Dialect? Why haven't I heard of any dialect here? Teacher, you won't fool me, besides, thousands of years before and after the Great War, the entire alliance of human beings has been unified and popularized the official language for so long, and there are still people who can't speak the official language, unless it is a horned demon person, is he a horned demon person?" The girl belongs to the unrelenting type, ready to break the casserole and ask the end.
"Alright, alright! Le'er, you believe that he is not a horned demon! Leave it to me to deal with it here, you go and help me make a pot of tea, let me talk to him alone!" The middle-aged man also had a headache with this girl, and the middle-aged man didn't want to say anything more about Huaxia's problems, so he hurriedly found a reason to separate the girl.
"Hmph!" The girl obviously didn't believe the middle-aged man's words, but she couldn't refute his teacher, so she stood there and stared at Huaxia.
"After making tea, I'll give you half a day off today, and I'll allow you to go out and play for half a day, how about it!"
"Really? As soon as the girl heard that she could go out and play for a long time, she ran happily to make tea as if she had forgotten what had just happened.
