Chapter 4: The Stone Sword of the Chamber of Secrets
Mu Shanshan lives in the jade garden in the mountain villa, where the scenery is as its name, the leaves and grass are as green as jade, and all kinds of flowers are gorgeous and fire. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info To get to the Emerald Garden, you have to pass through a quiet sheep intestine path, on both sides of the path are dense woods and vines, birds and flowers, very pleasant.
Before Mu Chuyu walked to the sheep intestine path, he saw the so-called Pei Yao's personal maid Xiaoxiao swaying past him, as if she had just come out of the jade garden.
Could it be that Miss Lu also went to the Jade Garden? Mu Chuyu thought of this in his heart and quickened his pace.
Walking on the path, although there would be a few sounds of birds chirping from time to time, it was still easy to distinguish the girl's voice from the bird's call with Mu Chuyu's internal strength.
Mu Chuyu calmly walked over "silently" in the direction from which the voice came, leaned his back against a tree, tilted his head and stretched out his ears to listen carefully.
"Is it true that your cousin's unusual behavior in the past few months is true?" Pei Yao accentuated her tone and confirmed it again and again.
Ah Luo nodded vigorously: "Miss Huibiao!" What Arrow said is true! Look, this is Ah Luo's daily life in the past month according to Miss Watch's instructions! With that, Ah Luo took out a small book from his arms and handed it to Pei Yao.
Pei Yao took the small book, flipped through a few pages at random, nodded and praised: "Good job!" Then, she wrapped the little book and put it in her sleeve, then took out a bag of silver taels and handed it to Arrow: "You deserve it!" β
"Thank you, Miss Watch! Thank you, Miss Table! Arrow took the money bag and bowed and thanked him.
"Don't linger here, beware of being seen! Let's get to work! Pei Yao sent her away.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Aro grabbed his money bag and ran away.
After Ah Luo walked away, Pei Yao hurriedly left the grove while no one was paying attention, and Mu Chuyu quietly followed.
Strange, why did Miss Lu also investigate the matter of that fake Mu Shanshan? Who the hell is she? Is she the same group as that fake Mu Shanshan? Mu Chuyu followed Pei Yao while analyzing what she had just overheard.
Pei Yao returned to her living room in Mingjian Villa, and stood on the porch anxiously for a long time, until she saw a white carrier pigeon flying towards her. She removed the small note from the pigeon's leg and raised her hand to release it.
Unfolding the note, looking at the few lines on it, the corners of Pei Yao's mouth hooked up a smug smile: Sure enough, as I expected, this Mu Shanshan is really an impostor!
Mu Chuyu hid behind the rockery, pursed her lips, frowned and wondered: Who is passing the book to Miss Lu? What was written on the note? Who is Miss Lui? Who is behind her? What are they plotting?
Pei Yao put away the note and entered the house, Mu Chuyu hid here and dreamed to no avail, so he simply left.
On the afternoon of the second day, Pei Yao came to Mu Chuyu's residence in Mingjian Villa with great interest.
At this time, Mu Chuyu was lying on the tree with Erlang's legs crossed to rest, and there was a piece of grass in his mouth.
Pei Yao stood under the tree, looking at the sun in the sky with half-squinted eyes through the sparse branches, it was really comfortable and pleasant, and then looked at Mu Chuyu leisurely on the tree, so much so that she wanted to lie down and sleep on the spot.
After thinking for a while, she still couldn't hold back, so she raised her head and put her hand in front of her lips like a trumpet and shouted, "Mu Gongzi!" Get up! β
When Mu Chuyu heard Pei Yao's pleasant voice, she immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally, and her whole body was full of energy. He quickly took the grass from his mouth, and with a slight leap, he landed firmly from the tree to the ground, and in one go.
He secretly threw away the grass with his hands behind his back, and asked with a hippie smile: "Miss Lu doesn't rest at noon, I don't know what to do with the next place?" β
looks like a beautiful son, but why are his expressions so bad? Pei Yao pursed her lips lightly in her heart.
"Four words - 'the way of immortality'!" Pei Yao raised four fingers and shook them in front of Mu Chuyu's eyes.
Mu Chuyu smiled meaningfully and asked, "So-where do we start investigating today?" β
"It's better - Mu Gongzi, you propose!" Pei Yao kicked his problem to him like a ball.
"Miss Lu-don't call me Mu Gongzi in the future, it sounds awkward--it's better to call me Brother Mu!" Mu Chuyu took the opportunity to look at her affectionately, trying to see the secret hidden in her heart through these clear eyes, of course, she was just confused.
"Thisβ" Pei Yao staggered its eyes, thought for a moment, and then stared at him in response, "Okay! Brother Mu, don't call me Miss Lu in the future! Just - call me a girl! Same with cousin! She playfully pointed in the direction where She Tuhuan lived.
Mu Chuyu smiled and nodded.
The two walked side by side on the road, Mu Chuyu looked at the direction of Kongsheng Garden, and said casually: "How about going there to check today?" β
Pei Yao followed his gaze and looked over, thinking that the Famous Sword Villa was so big, if she looked for it everywhere, she didn't know what year and month she would find, she could still accompany him to spend it before yesterday, but now she just wanted to complete the task quickly and satisfy her curiosity by the way, and then rush back to the Begonia Pavilion as soon as possible.
Before the words could be spoken, Pei Yao thought that it seemed too early to say this, so she first catered to Mu Chuyu's meaning, and the two went to Kongsheng Garden to find out.
They lifted almost every stone, carefully rubbed every tile with the soles of their shoes, and struck every pillar...... When it came to Shen, it still didn't work.
"The Famous Sword Villa is so big, how long will it take to look for it like ours...... "Pei Yao finally said what she wanted to say, and came up with an idea, "It's better to go directly to the key place to find it!" Since it's a baby, it's either heavily guarded, or it's very close to the owner! β
"You have some truth in that!" Mu Chuyu snapped his wrist, made a crisp "cluck" sound, nodded and asked, "What do you mean-Jade Garden?" β
"No!" The corners of Pei Yao's mouth were lightly raised, and her eyes were firm, "Cousin's room to be exact!" β
"Good!"
Walking on the sheep intestine path, remembering that the search has been fruitless in the past few days, Mu Chuyu explained: "Actually-I always thought that She Tuhuan would think that 'the most dangerous place is often the safest place', so maybe the treasure is hidden in a place where people often move around, or in a more conspicuous location......"
"Brother Mu, I understand!" Pei Yao smiled faintly, seemingly understanding.
It's okay if Pei Yao is silent, but in the face of Pei Yao's understanding, Mu Chuyu doesn't feel good in her heart: What does Chang'er mean by this? Do you think I'm so stupid that you deliberately go along with it?
After coming to the Jade Garden, Pei Yao successfully sneaked into She Tuhuan and Mu Shanshan's room under the cover of Mu Chuyu, who was strong in martial arts.
Pei Yao and Mu Chuyu made a meticulous mess in this place again, and Mu Chuyu actually climbed the beam of the house to investigate in order to "be ashamed before the snow". Pei Yao carefully picked up the antiques on the shelf, squinted one eye to look inside, and then put them back in frustration; I opened each drawer and touched it all over the place, but to no avail......
Suddenly, she glanced at She Tuhuan's bed and thought: the closest place to the master...... Why, in bed!
She walked over briskly, fumbling for pillows and quilts, but found nothing.
When she was about to die, she squatted down and lifted the sheets, and saw a ...... Chamber pot?
Pei Yao first pinched the tip of her nose with her fingers, pursed her lips in disgust, and then had a flash of inspiration, and called happily: "Brother Mu, come and see!" β
Mu Chuyu rushed over when he heard the sound, Pei Yao's eyes motioned for him to look at the night pot, he squatted beside Pei Yao, touched his chin and wondered, "Strange?" The night pot is placed at the head of the bed, doesn't he feel like it? β
"That's exactly what I wanted!" Pei Yao turned her head to look at him and smiled smugly.
Mu Chuyu understood, and the two of them hit it off in an instant, which made Mu Chuyu's good impression of Pei Yao rise sharply.
He stretched out his hand to take out the night pot, but was surprised to find that he couldn't pick it up! He curled the corners of his mouth and snorted softly, quickly turning the night pot inside.
With a bang, the wall on the inside of the bed was opened.
"Huh! Finally found it! Pei Yao sighed in surprise.
The two of them couldn't help but say, and immediately got up and sneaked into the secret room, and the stone door of the secret room automatically closed when it sensed that someone had entered.
They walked up a short stone staircase, facing a long road, wondering if there would be a mechanism here?
There are lit candles on the stone walls on both sides of the road, arranged at intervals of three feet. It's just that the secret room is a little damp and cold, and the faint candlelight seems to be about to go out at any moment.
Mu Chuyu took out a red candle, blew out the fire, and solemnly put it at his feet. Pei Yao didn't understand very much, so she just stood aside and watched.
He stood up, took the sword in his right hand, touched the red candle with the tip of the unsheathed sword a few times, felt the force, and then struck it out gracefully. The red candle rolled on the stone bricks and "hit the wall" everywhere, moving forward in a zigzag shape, Mu Chuyu listened sideways: "This road is still quite long, but it is very smooth, there is no mechanism!" β
Pei Yao showed a look of admiration, and followed Mu Chuyu through this long secret passage, although they knew that there was no mechanism, but they still took it step by step, after all, the more they walked inside, the more they could feel a powerful aura slowly attacking.
After walking out of the road, they immediately opened up, they were faced with a cave with a circle of several miles, the top of the cave and the wall of the cave have strange stalactites, and the water of the stalactites dripped down the stalactites to the ground, bringing a unique cave. In the middle of the cave, there is a round platform with a diameter of three feet and a height of three feet, there is a stone sword hanging on the round platform at a height of three feet, the sword body and the hilt are carved from stone, the stone sword is surrounded by smoke, the "white jade belt" spirals up along the sword body, drifts with the wind, the narrow light at the top of the cave just shines on the stone sword, the colors around it are beautiful, the crystal is dazzling, it is really "Chibi Qianxun sunny and rainy, the pearl is ten thousand hanging curtains".
The two approached the round platform in awe and looked up at the six-foot-long stone sword.
