160-Shifang Essence -2
At that moment, Bai Mengyang listened to Sima Xin's words, and said to his son with an embarrassed face: "With your qualifications, do you also want to be able to get the secret book and ascend to the sky in one step?" ā
Bai Zhijie's face was flushed and he couldn't speak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It turns out that the box he stole from the garden cottage contained his grandmother's relics. My grandmother died young, and she loved the cottage when she was alive, so the descendants offered her spiritual seat and some relics there, and the younger generations did not know what those relics were, because my grandfather never let people touch them.
At this time, Fang Tongbao suddenly glanced at Sima Xin, and whispered something in his mouth, his voice was very soft, but Sima Xin understood his mouth shape, nodded lightly, and said to Bai Zhijie: "Cousin, this Mr. Fang has something to ask you." ā
Fang Tongbao smiled slightly and asked, "Bai Gongzi, I just saw you lingering on the edge of the big stone in the garden, but for the well under the stone?" Everyone in the audience was amazed, and when they were in the garden, they saw only stones, but they did not see a well underneath, and the thief really had extraordinary eyesight. Bai Mengyang didn't know why, and asked Fang Tongbao: "Why did Mr. say this?" I don't have a well in my garden. Fang Tongbao smiled and said, "Let's ask Ling Lang." ā
Bai Zhijie raised his head, glanced at his father tremblingly, stood up and replied, "Mr. Fang is right, there is indeed a well there. I met my grandfather many years ago...... Came out of the well. ā
"What!" Bai Mengyang was stunned, "What did you say?" ā
"I've really seen it. When I was a child, one night I sneaked into the garden to catch crickets, and I was scared half to death when I saw my grandfather pop out of thin air from the ground and move the big rock back to its place. I went to ask him, but he insisted that I was wrong, and counted me down very seriously. So I never dared to mention it. Bai Zhijie was a little aggrieved, "Later, I quietly went to see that there is indeed a shallow circle of green bricks under the stone, which should be a well." Passing by there this morning, I suddenly wondered if there really was a secret room under the well, but the stone was too big for me to move, so forget it. ā
"Take us there!" Bai Mengyang said hurriedly.
The back garden of Baifu is according to the slope of the mountain, the height is staggered, borrowing the natural scenery in the mountain, except for the hut at the end of the garden, only two quaint pavilions have been repaired, one is open, and some flowers and trees and fruit trees are planted, so the big stone sits in the garden, it is natural, and it is not eye-catching. A few people walked to the stone, leaned over and looked, there was moss all under the stone, and the circle of green bricks loomed.
The stone was half a person high, because no one cleaned it up, it was already crawling with vines, Bai Mengyang pulled away the dead branches, and wanted to do the work, but he realized that his arm had been injured a few days ago, and he hesitated slightly. Sima Xin stepped forward and said, "The little nephew will do it for you." So saying, he took down his horse, held his hands firmly, and lifted the stone up at once, and some clay rhizomes fell to the ground, and everyone immediately leaned over to look, and sure enough, there was a dry well below. The sunlight shines obliquely into the edge of the well, and you can see clearly, the wall of the well is smooth and dry, and it is gradually expanding from the wellhead to the bottom. Leaning over, the well is more than a foot deep, and there is enough for five or six people to stand on it below.
Bai Mengyang said: "Zhijie, you wait above, let's go down and have a look." With that, he took the lead and jumped down, followed by the rest of the people.
There is an iron gate underneath the well. Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that this "Essence of the Ten Directions" was likely to come out, and they couldn't help but be a little excited. But when you go forward and look carefully, you can see that the cast iron door is extremely thick, and the two iron locks on the door are also very strong, even if there is a heavy knife and axe, I am afraid that it will be difficult to split the iron lock for a while. Bai Mengyang frowned and said, "There are hundreds of keys in the house, so I can only tear down the door." He looked up and down at the big iron gate, thinking of ideas.
At this time, he suddenly heard Wuwei say: "I have a way, I might as well give it a try." Everyone looked sideways, Wuwei smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "The fire gun sent by Brother Fang last time is very powerful, maybe you can open the lock." I just brought it. Wait a minute, I'll go to my room and get it. ā
It turned out that because the four of them stayed in the manor last night, Dongfang Lin and the others moved all their luggage back to the city, and the fire gun was disliked by Dongfang Lin and kept by Wuwei. I didn't expect it to come in handy right now.
After a while, Wu Wei jumped down from above, and a ruler in his hand came with a long black and oily short fire gun. Fang Tongbao asked with a smile: "Can Shangguan Gongzi use this thing easily?" Wuwei nodded and said: "After your guidance, I tried it myself later, and I deserve to be a peerless divine soldier." When Dongfang Lin heard this, although his face showed a little disapproving look, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart. The last time she didn't ask for it, it was mostly because of anger, in fact, she really wanted to see how powerful this firearm was.
There were five people standing at the bottom of the well, and everyone tried to step aside as much as possible, and Wuwei raised the fire gun, aimed at the heart, and pulled the trigger with inhalation. "Bang!" With a loud bang, a wisp of black smoke rose from the mouth of the gun, and iron filings flew up. Dongfang Lin and Bai Mengyang had never seen anyone else use the firecracker, and they were startled by the sound. Dongfang Lin subconsciously closed her eyes and covered her ears, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Sima Xin's sleeve falling from in front of her eyes, and turned her head to look at him, but saw him quickly standing behind him, as if nothing happened. Dongfang Lin inadvertently lowered his head, and suddenly saw a few pieces of broken iron falling in front of his feet, only then did he realize that he had helped him block those fragments, and suddenly there was an annoying panic in his heart, and he bit his lip.
"What an opening!" Bai Mengyang and Wuwei were checking in front of the iron gate at this time, and Bai Mengyang said with surprise on his face. Wu Wei smiled slightly. Fang Tongbao praised in the back: "Shangguan Gongzi's accuracy is really good, I may not be able to fight accurately." ā
Without further ado, Wuwei put another blow and broke the second lock. No one had been in the iron gate for many years, and it was very dull, and after a while, everyone rushed in. It was a small room a few feet square, and the five of them barely stood on it, facing a bookshelf with nothing outside it, and several stacks of brocade wraps neatly placed on the shelf. Bai Mengyang slowly stretched out his hands and touched a package with a slight tremble, and everyone involuntarily held their breath.
The sea-blue brocade is old, and the corners are yellowed. The package was opened layer by layer, and several old volumes were revealed, and if you looked closely, they were all on silk, and there were no words on the title page. Bai Mengyang carefully opened the volume on the surface, read two lines, and suddenly raised his head and said to everyone: "You don't have to be formal, please take a few copies each." I've never seen "The Essence of the Ten Directions", so I don't know if it's or not. ā
The four of them looked at each other a few times with a little hesitation, and Sima Xin replied: "Uncle, then I will be presumptuous when I wait." He took the lead and took another package from the shelf, opened it and distributed it to the other three to see.
Walking out of the iron gate, with the sunlight shining down from the wellhead, several people read carefully for a long time with frowns. Dongfang Lin suddenly exhaled lightly, covered the scroll in his hand, and quietly asked Wuwei: "What do you think?" There are a lot of things I don't understand. Wu Weizheng was fascinated, and after a trance for a moment, Fang said: "This should be written by several people, and the study of many martial arts doctrines is very difficult and profound. ā
"I don't understand it either." Fang Tongbao said, "I'm not good at martial arts, and most of these things are for me to play the piano to a cow." ā
Sima Xin said: "Brother Shangguan is right. I think that this is the "Essence of the Ten Directions", thinking that the ancestors of the Bai family have the ambition to establish a martial arts economy, so they sincerely invite the masters of the world to explain the shortcomings of the family together, and those who have the essence of it express their opinions, and then give a general discussion, where is the secret of what magic skills are included. Practicing martial arts in this way is really nonsense. ā
Bai Mengyang was relieved and skeptical: "I think back then, my father also told me that the ancestral legacy, this book is useless if it is not seen by masters. Now we know what happened. "In this way, these handwritten records record the unique views of several generations of top masters on various martial arts, and their value is immeasurable, it would be a pity to really burn them!" However, if it is not destroyed, there will continue to be people who mistakenly think that they can practice divine skills through this, and come to snatch it. Ask the Sword Pavilion has fallen, I ...... It's no longer able to protect it! He sighed, sad but helpless, and was silent.
At this moment of silence, there was a sudden movement in Inoue, and everyone hurriedly put away the scroll and carried it indoors. Bai Mengyang stood outside the door, looking up, half of his face was poked out by the well, it was the old housekeeper. "Sir, there's a man visiting from outside. Claiming to be ......" the old housekeeper swallowed, "He is the son of the old grandmaster of Chunlin Mountain Villa." ā
"Ahh Bai Mengyang's shoulders shook violently, and he lost his mind for a while.
Dongfang Lin and Wuwei were also surprised when they heard it, Dongfang Lin whispered: "He, he's not here to seek revenge, right?" ā
Regarding Qiu Yinming's matter, when chatting last night, Wuwei told Sima Xin and Fang Tongbao something, so the two of them also knew who was coming at this time. Wuwei waved his hand to Dongfang Lin: "Don't talk nonsense. ā
Seeing Bai Mengyang stunned, Sima Xin stepped forward and said, "Uncle, we all know this person, and they are still friends." Let's go meet us. ā
Bai Mengyang came to his senses and instructed the old housekeeper: "Hurry up and invite him to the middle hall to watch the tea first." Looking back at the stacks of books, his fingers clenched his cuffs and he couldn't make up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Just put them here first, and then discuss them later." ā
Everyone jumped out of the well one after another, Sima Xin moved the stone back to the original place, returned to the main courtyard, walked into the patio, and caught a glimpse of the group of guys tied up under the steps, only then did they realize that they had already forgotten, Bai Mengyang thought about it for a while, and Bai Zhijie let these people go, and gave them some water and food, and didn't care about it anymore.
At this time, the old housekeeper came out of the middle hall and stepped forward to Bai Mengyang and said, "The guest is already waiting for the master inside." ā
On the way back from the back garden, Bai Mengyang had already learned from Sima Xin that the visitor was the owner of the Flying Tiger Village who had stepped into the Wenjian Pavilion with Zixia Jushi Lu Changqing on the day of the conference. Looking back on that day, although that person spoke coldly, he was also polite, and he never expected that he was the little boy he let go after killing his fellow junior sister twenty years ago! At this moment, memories that have long been fragmented by time come flooding in. His mind wandered, and he could hear Shangguan Jing and Dongfang Lin whispering behind him. Dongfang Lin: "...... You said not to bother them, in case Brother Qiu couldn't help it, it would be fine. Shangguan Jing: "No, I believe he is measured." Bai Mengyang couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Shangguan Gongzi, do you know his intention?" ā
The corners of Wuwei's mouth froze for a moment, and he replied with some embarrassment: "He...... It's my junior brother. Don't hide it from the Pavilion Master, he and I are both disciples of Shangguan Hong. ā
"......" Bai Mengyang was speechless, his eyes burning in shock.
Seeing this, Wuwei couldn't help but continue to explain: "I know everything about him. I think he came here today just to ask the Pavilion Master about some of the past events. The case of "The Essence of the Ten Directions" is solved, and he is a reasonable person, and he can be regarded as magnanimous. This is a private matter between him and the pavilion master, so I just said to the Oriental girl that we are inconvenient to disturb. ā
Bai Mengyang nodded and said, "What Gongzi said is extremely true. Alas...... I owe him what I owe him, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off with this life, and what I should have done will be the end. Everyone, please go to the side hall first. After that, he didn't wait for a few people to answer, and turned his head and strode away.
