Shang Ni was naughty, she had to try her hand with Zhuang Mengzhou, but she was not good at learning but planted a heel, which was of course quite embarrassing, but it happened that a heel turned into Xiaojing Lake, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy and a blessing in disguise. But when she came out of Xiaojing Lake, she immediately contracted the disease of wind evil and almost died.

If it weren't for a group of high-ranking people, even if they were sent to the hospital for first aid, it would be difficult to do it, which was a big danger. But in the end, she was brought into Xiaojing Lake by everyone, and she took it internally and externally to apply the Xianjia bait medicine Yue Fat, and her kung fu cultivation went to a higher level, greatly improving her physique, which was another big gain.

That's true of Shanny, and as for Tincey, that's not to mention. Seeing that Ding Qi and Shang Ni were all right, Fan Yang frowned and said, "We have also entered Xiaojing Lake, will there be symptoms lurking in the future?"

Tan Hanchuan pondered: "Teacher Ding's illness and Senior Sister Shang's illness are almost all acute attacks more than three hours after entering Xiaojing Lake, if it is contracted by the wind evil disease due to environmental differences, the symptom latent cycle should be so long. And we're okay so far, which means that we've adapted to it, and we won't be okay anymore. ”

Fan Yang: "We picked another bottle of moon gelatin, and we can't take this thing out." To be on the safe side, do you take it on the spot? Anyway, I'm a little uncertain. ”

Tan Hanchuan replied: "It is recorded in ancient books that the moon condensate should be used immediately, and it will be invalid and turned into pure dew after sunrise. Now that the sky is bright and the sun is about to come out, in this case, let's all share this bottle of moon gel. ”

Fan Yang: "Internal or external?"

Tan Hanchuan: "Just such a small bottle, six people, how can you apply it externally? You and I have a foundation for cultivating kung fu, you can take it internally at the moment, pay attention to the experience of entering the country, and turn the medicinal power into the body...... Mr. Zhuang, you can try it first. ”

Tan Hanchuan first handed a small glass bottle to Zhuang Mengzhou, Zhuang Mengzhou took the bottle, opened the stopper, and handed it to Xian Hao and said, "Senior Sister Xian, you should come first." Master it yourself and drink almost one-sixth. ”

This bottle was brought in by Zhu Shanxian, and the texture is very pure crystal glass, and I don't know what it was originally contained. Xian Hao wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he took it, raised his face and opened his lips lightly, and poured some into his mouth, but his lips did not touch the mouth of the bottle. No wonder Zhuang Mengzhou would let her drink first, Xian Hao was a little clean, and all six of them drank with this bottle, she inevitably felt awkward.

Xian Hao was silent after drinking, as if he was experiencing the effect of moon condensation. Zhuang Mengzhou took back the bottle and took a sip, just like drinking, and smacked his lips and said, "It tastes good, Lao Zhu, you taste it!"

Zhu Shanxian, Shi Buquan, Tan Hanchuan, and Fan Yang drank the moon condensation fat in turn, and the glass bottle was empty, leaving no trace inside. Tan Hanchuan said: "Moon condensation is not the same as water, it is not glass, nor is it infiltrated with gold and white jade. "The so-called non-wetting is not sticking to the cup, for example, water will wet the glass, there will be a phenomenon of hanging on the wall, but mercury will not.

Zhuang Mengzhou said again: "After tossing all night, I haven't carefully explored this place, so let's visit this manor first." ”

Ding Qi's face suddenly turned a little red and said, "You guys go in first, I'll find a place to do something." ”

As he spoke, he rushed down the hill and ran into the bushes. He was clever enough to observe the environment as he walked through the grove, and found a low shrub with broad leaves like palms, soft as cotton, and without any burrs......

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday's breakfast, but I've drunk a lot of water, and not only water. When he was talking just now, Ding Qi suddenly felt a rumbling in his stomach, but he was not hungry, but a little unable to hold back. I found a place to squat down in the bushes, let go of the shackles and solve the problem, and it was a burst of unprecedented ease and comfort, but the smell ...... It's smoky!

When Ding Qi ran back, Shanny frowned and said weakly, "I'm also a little ......."

Dingzi: "There is a leaf in the bush that can be used as paper. ”

Shi Buquan understood, and hurriedly said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you." ”

After Shannie returned, the eight of them finally walked into the manor together. Shi Buquan has determined that this is a Ming Dynasty building, with an early Hui school style. According to the traditional construction pattern, there are not nine square grids, but five parts, which secretly correspond to the five elements.

These five parts are the front yard, the atrium, the back garden, and the east and west cross courtyards. Sometimes due to the terrain and terrain restrictions, the shape of the house will change in various ways, but the general outline of the pattern can still be found. In the traditional houses, there are corridors between the main houses, and there are ear doors between the corridors of each courtyard.

The so-called "main house" is the place where the owner of the house will walk in his daily life, even in rainy and snowy weather, he does not have to use an umbrella. The people have just arrived in the front yard, and there are corridors after entering the door and on the left and right sides, and there are four wings on both sides. The first two wings were opened yesterday, while the back two rooms are a little strangely furnished.

In each room, there are four wardrobes more than one person high, the four legs and the lattice pillars are made of yellow pear, the board seems to be camphor wood, the top is slightly narrower than the bottom, and the four sides of the cabinet have a slope that is not easy to detect with the naked eye. When you open the door, let go and the door will close on its own. The brass hinges and handles show no signs of decay and are still functional.

In the cabinet are clothes, the style of the Ming Dynasty, there are silk, yarn, cotton, soft linen, and a thicker felt, and the style is also different sizes. There are four cabinets of men's clothes in the left wing, and four cabinets of women's clothes in the right wing, giving people the feeling that the clothes of men, women and children in this big house are placed here.

There is also a large bronze mirror inlaid on a sandalwood frame in each room, oval, about 60 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide, although it cannot be compared with the size of modern dressing mirrors, it was also a very large and valuable object in that era.

The material of the copper mirror is not pure copper nor bronze, according to the incomplete identification of the stone, it is a kind of copper, silver, amalgam, and special surface technology, so that the mirror can be polished to a very smooth surface, and oxidation resistance, can maintain a state of light for a long time. At this moment, the surface of the dressing mirror is not rusty, but it is a little dark, as if it is covered with a layer of fog, and people can only show an outline when standing in front of the mirror.

Shi Buquan said: "Wipe it with a flannel cloth dipped in fine abrasive, and this mirror can shine on people." ”

Zhu Shanxian wondered: "According to the pattern of the classical courtyard, the front yard is usually a gatehouse and a ledger on both sides, the two rooms in front are like gatehouses, and the two rooms in the back are full of clothes?"

Shi Buquan: "Not only do you have clothes, but the bottom layer of the cabinet is full of materials, and you can also use it to make clothes." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou said with a smile: "Xu is for guests, should we have one set for one person?"

Xian Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let's not touch these things for now, and then look elsewhere." ”

Fan Yang seemed to say to himself: "Of course this is not an ordinary manor, so the layout is extraordinary, who would put a golden ruyi in the pavilion outside the gate?"

Bypassing the cloister and entering the main hall, this is the most open room in the whole manor, with a square table and two Taishi chairs in the front, and two columns of high tables and chairs symmetrically placed on the side, which is a classical living room, paved with large square bricks. Behind the square table is the screen of the central hall, and there is a painting hanging on it, which depicts the moonlight scene of standing in front of the manor and overlooking the small lake.

This painting has a seal and a seal, carefully look at the seal engraved on the seal is the "South Gate Demon King" these four words, the title is "Zhu Jingyi", the year is the seventh year of Yongle, that is, 1409.

Bypassing the screen of the central hall, there is a square courtyard outside the back door, which is the atrium of the whole building. The main hall is very high, with stairs to the left and right behind its sides, which allow access to the second floor of the house that surrounds the atrium. On both sides of the atrium and at the rear front, the house is a two-story structure, which is also where the owner lives, and most of the ladies live upstairs.

There are no trees planted in the courtyard, and there are two long lotus ponds. This is not a pond dug in the ground, but a four-sided carved pond groove carved out of a single piece of stone, placed in a stone-paved courtyard. These two lotus ponds are more than one zhang long, almost one meter wide and about one meter high.

There are no lotus flowers in the pond anymore, and a layer of wet mud has accumulated at the bottom of the pond, and traces of lotus flowers that withered a long time ago can be seen. Tan Hanchuan said: "Lotus seeds should still be dug up from these silts, and maybe ancient lotus flowers can be grown." ”

Dingqi: "You can pack up in the future, if you are interested in moving in." ”

Fan Yang: "Can lotus seeds be dug out of the mud? Could the lotus seeds also be some kind of fairy elixir?"

Zhu Shanxian: "It's possible...... Don't dig now!"

Ding Qi: "Senior Sister Xian Hao, why don't you speak?"

Xian Hao: "I don't know what to say, I'm a screenwriter, I used to write stories, and today I feel like I'm running into the story." ”

Shannie: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way, I'm a little dumbfounded, but unfortunately I don't remember the previous experience, I really envy you." ”

Shi Buquan: "You don't have to envy us, except for Mr. Zhuang, we will all forget after we go out." ”

Shanny: "So what are we going to look at?"

Shi Buquan suddenly said: "Yes, I can't remember anyway, what are we visiting here?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Let's take a look first, who brought the mobile phone, is the mobile phone still charged?"

Only then did everyone react and say, "Yes, yes, hurry up and take pictures!"

Shanny pouted, "I didn't bring my phone with me." ”

Shi Buquan: "Use mine, domestic brand, ultra-long standby, and electricity!"

As they spoke, they had already walked into the corridor on the left side of the atrium, and Zhuang Mengzhou pushed open a door and said, "This should be the residence of the owner of the manor, and the upstairs should be the study." ”

This room is obviously what modern people call the "master bedroom", because it is so large that it almost occupies the left side of the atrium, and it is divided into three rooms. There should be a small living room in the middle, the right compartment is like a place to read and drink tea, there is a short desk by the window, there is an embroidered soft couch in it, and a large bed is placed in the left compartment.

This bed is very large, and it was nicknamed "one room and one living room bed" by later generations. Because it is like a small room, the four-post frame can be hung with mosquito nets and curtains, and the front can also sit on both sides after entering, which can be used to change clothes and take off shoes, and then go to bed. Nowadays, there is only such a bed, and there is no bedding such as bedding around the tent, so it can be seen at a glance.

After only one glance, Xian Hao turned his head with a red face, only to see that the lacquered wood carvings inside the bed were actually all kinds of spring palaces. Shang Ni snorted and said, "Even if that Zhu Jingyi is an immortal, I don't think he is a serious immortal, no wonder he calls himself the demon king." ”

Shi Buquan whispered: "You may have misunderstood, this is not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than to ward off evil spirits in the town, and there is also the intention of asking for a son......"

Fan Yang: "Ah Quan, you don't need to explain, we all understand." ”

Shang Ni diverted the topic and said, "This is the master's bedroom, but how does Mr. Zhuang know that the upstairs is a study? ”

Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said: "The compartment on the right is a place to rest and enjoy, you can also read and write, and you can also sleep on the soft couch at night to listen to the maid who is ready to call at any time." However, the ancients attached great importance to reading, and the formal study room could not be so casual, and the study room was also a place to deal with official affairs and discuss important matters. With this kind of courtyard layout, it is impossible for someone else to live upstairs in the master bedroom, so it is most suitable as a study. ”

One of the drawbacks of wooden buildings is that there will be a lot of movement downstairs when people are walking upstairs. The master bedroom will certainly not be allowed to move around at will, so it is best to arrange it as the owner's own study. A few people went up to the second floor and opened the room above the "master bedroom", and sure enough, it was a study.

In the study, there is a large long case, and there are rows of bookcases in the form of latticework, but the trellis are empty. There are three inkstones of different sizes and shapes placed on the bookcase, and after the stone is not completely identified, two of them are from the Song Dynasty, and one of them should be from the early years of the Ming Dynasty, all of which are fine products! In the cabinet with a door on one side of the corner of the house, several knives of rice paper were found.

Shi Buquan's eyes are shining, this is the ancient Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and there are raw and cooked Xuan, they are very neatly divided and very well preserved, if you take it...... Forget it, you can't take it out anyway. There are no books in the study, and there is paper and inkstone but no pen and ink, which is somewhat strange.

On the west side of the second floor, opposite the study, it should be a woman's boudoir, which also has beds, tables, and chairs. The two-storey building surrounding the atrium has a three-sided concave pattern, and different houses have different uses, some of which are empty and unfurnished. If everyone moves in, the manor will be fully habitable.

The answer is four, two are in the left and right corners of the back of the vestibule, and the other two are at the corner of the back cloister. After going downstairs and exiting the atrium, you will come to the back garden, where there is a verandah leading into the garden, leading to a small lake in the center of the back garden.

According to Shanny's judgment, the small lake was not excavated by hand, but was built according to the natural topography. There is a shipyard that pokes into the water, the so-called shipyard is also called a boat-shaped base, and the top is not an open pavilion, but a house with stained windows on all sides. You can drink in the workshop or push the window to enjoy the scenery, and there is a table of eight immortals, two chairs with backrests, and six elephant trunk foot pounds in the house.

A few years ago, the ancient furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the collection market was very hot, if the things here can be moved out, how much is it worth? Unfortunately, it can't be moved, even if it can be moved out, it seems that this mind should not be moved, Ding Qi's feeling, these furnishings seem to be integrated with this manor, this piece of the outside world, really moving out to sell antiques is simply burning the piano and cooking the crane.

In the back garden, there are a lot of flowers and plants, and the canopy of several large trees is open to hide the shore of the lake. The small lake is not silted up, and the water quality looks very clear, and it is actually living water. The northwest corner of the back garden is a rockery, which is connected with the natural mountain outside the courtyard, and there is a culvert in the rockery, which leads the spring water in the mountain into the manor. There is also a waterway next to the small lake that leads the spring water to the west across the courtyard.

From the ear gate on the west side of the back garden to the west cross courtyard, Shi Buquan exclaimed: "The ancients had a toilet for flushing, and it was really cleverly built!"

The thatched house is on the west side of the courtyard, just above the water that is brought in. There are also a few side houses in the west courtyard, which are traditionally supposed to be servants' dwellings, and usually have side doors to the outside, as well as places to park horses and barns. But there are no stables here, and there may not be any carriages and horses in Xiaojing Lake.

The kitchen is in the east courtyard, there are three stoves, one large, two small, and there is running water. Of course, this was not provided by the water company, and another culvert was drawn from the backyard and flowed continuously. There is also a room next door to the kitchen, which has a pool that can also be used to divert water. Shannie asked curiously, "What is this pool for, so beautifully repaired?"

Shi Buquan smiled: "Of course, it's for bathing, it's repaired next door to the kitchen, so it's good to boil hot water, and you can also put a big wooden bucket." ”

There are several other partial rooms in the east cross courtyard, according to the traditional shape should be the kitchen lady and other maids from the residence, according to the firewood room, corresponding to the horse shed of the west cross courtyard, but there is also no firewood room here. Shi Buquan wondered again: "After repairing the kitchen but there is no firewood room, can you cook or not?"

Zhu Shan said with a smile: "Maybe the gods don't eat fireworks in the world, even if they cook, they don't burn firewood." ”

Fan Yang: "Do the immortals still use the thatched house? I see that the West Cross Courtyard has also been repaired!"

Ding Qi: "It's not clear whether the master is an immortal or not." But there may be other people here, and these facilities may be for guests, such as us. ”

Shi Buquan pondered: "It can be determined that the people who built this manor came from outside like us. ”

This conclusion is not difficult to come to conclusion, because the house was built according to the traditional form, and everything bears familiar traces. Even if modern people are not familiar with it, the ancients at that time must have been familiar with it, and of course many things can be seen in the eyes of archaeological experts like Shi Buquan.

Fan Yang said: "I always feel that there are a lot of things missing in the house, and a lot of daily necessities are not complete, if you can't take them out, then where did they go?" It may be that they were taken out by the South Gate Demon King, if so, there is still a way to take things out!"

Zhu Shanxian: "Xiaojing Lake is very large, and there is only a small area of place that we have explored. And the things here may have been brought in by the owner. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Since we have seen the manor, let's go back quickly." I'm afraid Mr. Ye is going crazy, and it's time to have breakfast, someone has to go to work after breakfast!"

Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock in the morning, everyone also realized that there was not only the outer world in their lives, but also the real world outside that there were many things waiting in the outside world after passing through that portal. They didn't hear from them all night, and left Ye Xing outside alone, and it was estimated that Ye Xing was going crazy.
