After dark, Yunkang drove with Qi Zhonglu to the old house shop in the suburbs.
The ancient books of the Qi family aroused Yun Kang's interest, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what was so strange about the antiquities before the Tang Dynasty.
The old house shop is outside the urban-rural junction in the southern suburbs, and it is more than an hour's drive from the city. There was a traffic jam on the road on the weekend, and by the time Yunkang drove to the place, it was already nine o'clock at night.
The old house and shop are surrounded by demolished shantytowns, and it is dark at night, and there are no street lights.
Yunkang saw that the road was bumpy and winding, and he was afraid that the car would be a dead end when he drove in, and the black light would not be able to get out, but it would take a lot of effort, so he parked the car on the side of the road three hundred meters away from the old house.
He walked with Qi Zhonglu, walked in from the narrow intersection, illuminated the road with a flashlight all the way, and groped his way forward with one foot high and one foot low.
Since the old mansion was occupied by the Lei family, Qi Zhonglu has not been here for a long time, the surrounding houses are demolished and scattered, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, the light is not good at night, the two of them have gone around the path a few times, and even Qi Zhongjiu himself can't tell the direction.
Along the way, it was as quiet as death, Qi Zhonglu took a flashlight to explore the way in front, Yun Kang followed behind him, carefully scanning the surroundings with his divine sense, and saw that the nearby residents had already moved away from this place, and there was a desolate and gloomy atmosphere everywhere.
The two talked about the demolition nearby, Qi Zhonglu pointed to a large dark and lightless old residential area, and said: "The houses in this area are too old, they should have been demolished a long time ago, but there is a park and a shallow lake in the middle, and there are several old houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the government does not allow the destruction of the original site, nor can it build high-rise residences, and the investment cost of real estate developers is too high, so no one has bought the land." ”
Yunkang nodded and said, "If you engage in real estate here." It is the most suitable to build an antique house and integrate it with the style of the old house in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the cost is also higher. ”
The two chatted and wandered. After passing through a few alleys, it was finally easy to find a path in front of the old house, Qi Zhonglu said: "Take a detour from this road, and it is my old house." The things in the shop have long been emptied by the surnamed Lei, and the empty house is unguarded. That ancient artifact was originally placed in the basement, and I don't know if it's still there, it depends on our luck. ”
Yunkang crossed a row of low walls in front of the road, and used his divine sense to probe the corner, and saw a black Qing-style old house, with blue walls and red doors, and black tiles and cornices on the roof.
Above the vermilion door, there is a flat piece horizontally, and the gold characters on the black background read: "Qi Gu Zhai". It is the old house shop of the Qi family.
At this time, a hazy figure came out of the shop, locked the Zhumen with an iron chain, and then turned his head to look around, his eyes were very vigilant, and he saw that there was no unusual movement around, so he left in a hurry.
Yun Kang stared at the man with his divine sense, and saw that he was wearing a gray Tang suit, with a thin figure and a yin owl expression on his face.
Mo Echo!
Yunkang didn't expect Mo Huiyin to appear in the Qi family's old mansion, so he immediately thought about it. This is already the Lei family's industry, and Mo Huiyin has a close relationship with the Lei family, so it is not strange to go in and out of the old house.
It's just that it's so late, why did Mo Huiyin come to an empty house?
After Mo Huiyin walked away. The two quietly bypassed the path, extinguished the flashlight, and came to the old mansion in the dark.
The blue brick wall is about two meters high, Yun Kang first lifted Qi Zhongqi to the wall, and then stepped on the wall with his own feet, and jumped into it easily.
Qi Zhonglu knew that Yun Kang had kung fu. So I wasn't surprised by his agile "circumvention technique".
The two climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, Yunkang looked up and saw that the doors and windows of the old house were closed, and the eaves and columns were all wooden frames, revealing an antique atmosphere.
It is a detached house, more than 200 square meters, with a total of five rooms.
The wooden door was not locked, Yunkang raised his hand to push the door in, stepped in, and found that everything was extremely clean, and there was not even a trace of dust on the window lattice.
Entering the lobby of the house, he looked down and saw that the big bluestone on the ground was some years old, and the surface was pitted, and there were obvious cracks, but it was very smooth, which showed that it was an old building that was very old.
The early summer night was already a little warm, but there was still a trace of coldness in the house, Qi Zhonglu couldn't help but shiver, and said: "It's so strange, is anyone usually cleaning here, it's cleaner than when we first opened the store to do business." ”
The purpose of the two of them was mainly to find Gu Jian, and by the way, to take a look at the Yin and Yang house structure of the old shop, so they immediately started to act, Qi Zhonglu held a flashlight, walked from a small staircase in the house to the basement, and saw that it was empty, only a few broken porcelain large water tanks remained, and there was no shadow of Gu Jian at all.
"It seems that we are late, Gu Jian must have been taken away by the surname Lei. Qi Zhonglu sighed and said, he glanced around with the flashlight, the space in the basement was small, which was completely inconsistent with the pattern of the Yin and Yang Mansion described by Yun Kang.
Yun Kang has been silent, and he has a strange feeling in his heart, he has lived in many ancient mansions before, but this one is obviously very strange, and it makes him feel wrong.
He came out of the basement, returned to the main house, looked up and looked up, and saw that the roof had no ceiling, and all the beams and arches were exposed, supported by eight columns, and the roof structure was unobstructed.
The roof beams are in the style of cloud-shaped humps, and the rows of flying rafters are neat and orderly, and the arches and wellheads are intact.
Yunkang's eyes glanced over and saw that the appearance of the old mansion was in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the inside imitated the architectural structure of the pre-Tang Dynasty.
Dou arch roofs are most common in temple halls, and there are usually some small houses around the building, so that the house is more solemn and grand.
Yunkang was a little puzzled, the ancient mansions were all front and back into the courtyard, the left and right symmetrical wing rooms and ear rooms, there were few single-house houses, and this old mansion was a lonely one.
"Zhongqiao, when was this old mansion built?" Yunkang asked Qi Zhongqiao. He had seen the wooden beams of the building for at least three hundred years.
Qi Zhonglu scratched his head and said: "It should be a building in the late Ming Dynasty, or it may be the early Qing Dynasty, in the late Qing Dynasty, our Qi family bought this house, and there were three large courtyards at the earliest, and then the road was opened to level the front and rear courtyards, leaving this main house."
Yunkang nodded, I see, but the house built in the Ming and Qing dynasties imitated the structure before the Tang Dynasty. It's weird.
And he found that there was always a feeling of hindrance in the use of divine consciousness in the house, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable.
He took out the talisman array disk in the Dragon Swallowing Ring, and saw the magnetic needle swing from side to side. After turning around a few times without stopping, I realized that the yin and yang aura here was chaotic, and the magnetic field interfered badly.
Usually in this case, the things that are most likely to mutate in the house, Yun Kang frowned. He put the array plate away, turned around and looked around, and found that the house was as quiet as a grave.
All the furniture in the room has been moved, leaving four empty walls, and the eight pillars in the lobby are very conspicuous.
Yun Kang tapped his fingers on the pillar, making an echo of "buzzing", and the sound did not sound like solid wood. He secretly shook the pillar with the power of True Yuan, and the pillar turned out to be extremely hard and stable, without shaking at all.
He looked up again and saw that the roof was a human-shaped wooden frame. Although it can cushion the pressure on the house, a centuries-old house has such a strong internal wooden structure that I don't know what good wood to use.
So Yun Kang asked Qi Zhongqiao to hold up the flashlight, look closely at the red-painted wooden pillars, and found that it was just ordinary pine wood.
He was a little puzzled, and carefully scraped off a piece of red paint from the pillar with a sharp dagger, revealing several metal rivets inside, as if something was wrapped in them, and fixed them with nails.
"Huh?" Qi Zhonglu was a little surprised. Said: "This pillar is made of wood chips?"
Yunkang raised his hand and hit the wood chip with his true qi, and the rivet fell to the ground with a "clanging bell", and then a piece of wood fell.
The inside of the pillar was a jet-black color, and the two looked at each other. Feeling a little surprised, Yun Kang used a dagger to remove the wood chips from the pillar, revealing a black metal pillar.
The two of them touched it with their hands, only to feel a chill to the bone, and then carefully shone with the light, and there seemed to be a flowing luster in the jet-black metal.
Magnetic!
Yun Kang exclaimed in his heart. No wonder the wooden structure of this house has been so strong for hundreds of years, it turned out to be made of magnetic black iron, and the wooden beams intertwined horizontally and vertically on the roof are probably also wrapped in magnetic black iron.
Magnetic iron is a magnet with an extremely hard texture, and the melting point is extremely high, which has a great impact on the magnetic field of the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth, and is a kind of refining material commonly used by ancient immortal cultivators.
For example, the flying sword uses the characteristics of magnetic separation iron to inject true qi into it, stimulating the force of magnetic attraction and repulsion between the two poles, and the sword can fly in the direction of the magnetic poles.
The abnormal movement of the rune array disk just now is also related to the change in the magnetic field of the magnetic blackiron.
Yun Kang secretly took a breath of cool air, and there was a saying in the ancient immortal cultivation world that "the psychic blood jade city, the immortal Xuantie house" was circulated, believing that the spiritual blood jade and the magnetic Xuaniron were two treasures that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Yun Kang couldn't help but move, if it was just a piece of magnetic iron, it wouldn't be a big deal, but a house with magnetic iron as the beam and pillar would be too awesome. Living here is an excellent place to cultivate your divine sense.
His current cultivation level is relatively low, and the proportion of all true qi power and divine consciousness power is about the same, and there is no distinction between them. But in the future, as the strength of the skill increases, the cultivation of the divine consciousness becomes a big obstacle, because the cultivation of the divine consciousness is far more difficult than the enhancement of the true qi.
Now the materials he found for cultivating his divine consciousness were only a runstone inkstone that Yan Xuan promised him, which was not enough for him to stuff his teeth, if he had this house of magnetism and iron and lived in it every day to cultivate, then the speed of divine consciousness improvement was comparable to that of a rocket.
He had cultivated for so many years before, and he had never encountered the "Immortal Xuantie House", but he didn't expect that if he re-cultivated after the seal, his character would explode. At this time, I looked at the pillar of this magnetic black iron, and I felt full of happiness.
But Yun Kang quickly thought of a question, did the Lei family go to great lengths to rob this mansion for the sake of magnetism? Judging from Mo Huiyin's departure from the mansion just now, it is very possible.
Qi Zhonglu knocked on the magnet with his hand and said, "It turns out that this pillar is made of black iron, no wonder it is so strong." I heard that iron tools were very valuable in the Qin Dynasty before, and iron tools could be exchanged for gold, but unfortunately today they can only be sold to the scrapyard by two catties, and this pillar can be sold for less than two hundred yuan. ”
After speaking, he sighed repeatedly, "How good it would be if you were born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, sell this house, and all the eight iron pillars will be replaced with gold." ”
Yun Kang said with a smile: "Don't talk about some useless things, these iron tools are put in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they are also the things of the big nobles, when will it be the turn of the commoners to sell them, before you can exchange them for gold, they will be arrested by the princes and kings, and wait for the five horses to split the corpses." ”
Yun Kang didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, and swept around with his divine sense, and found that the walls and underground of the house could not be seen through, and it was obvious that there were other secrets.
After a careful search, it was discovered that there was a strange stone brick on the wall, which was originally hidden behind the shelves where the goods were displayed, and the shelves were exposed as soon as they were removed.
The two of them went up to remove the stone bricks, and the stone wall suddenly turned upwards, revealing a dark stone cave.
Qi Zhonglu was very surprised, his own old shop, but he never knew that there was a dark wall. Yun Kang nodded and said: "That's right, it's really a yin and yang house, the top is the yang house where people live, and the bottom of the stone cave is the yin house where the corpses are placed." ”
