Chapter XXXIII Investigation 1
"Oh, that's interesting." Xiahou Fei smiled ruffianly.
Speaking of which, after a short rest, I went to Moxuanzhai, the largest bookstore in Yuncheng, which is the largest bookstore in the entire Yuncheng and even the entire Shu Kingdom, which is as big as the books on the history of the country's development, and as small as the books of the storytellers in the teahouse, all of them, after I knew, I decided to come here to check if there were any clues.
As soon as I arrived at Moxuanzhai, I was dumbfounded, this is a bookstore, I think this is a library! This covers an area no different from the library, a total of 3 floors, but also divided into the front building and the back building, the front building sells some ordinary books, the back building is ostensibly a place for some literati and ink writers to exchange and learn, in fact, it also sells some ** privately, but few people know, and I heard it from Xu Zijie, presumably the master behind this Mo Xuan Zhai must not be a simple character.
I first walked around the front building, the first floor is some miscellaneous books, there is nothing I want, go up to the second floor, on the second floor there are some deeds written with the people and places, I looked around, some of them wrote some stories of Shangguan Hao, but they are some details of my father's life and things on the battlefield. So I went up to the 3rd floor, most of this floor is the rise and fall of the country, not only Shu but also other countries, I looked around and there were a few books that mentioned my father and mother, but they were all before they met, and I still had no clue, it seemed that I could only go to the back building to try my luck.
There was a man guarding the entrance to the bridge leading from the front building to the back building, and when he saw that I wanted to go to the back building, he stopped me.
"Little girl, the back is not where you go."
"Hongsang green willows."
"Blue-eyed golden toad. How do you know the codeword? The caretaker asked, surprised.
"Can I go in?"
"Yes, please." The caretaker gave way and handed me a willow leaf. I knew that he asked me to take the willow leaf and go to the person with the golden toad, and when the person saw me, he would naturally arrange it. Before I entered Mo Xuan Zhai, I used modern cosmetics to cover the birthmark on my forehead, and I brought a veil, which should not be recognized.
The bridge leading from the front building to the back building is on the 3rd floor, and as soon as you enter the back building, you can smell a burst of sandalwood, and it turns out that there is an incense altar at the entrance of the 3rd floor. Walking inside, I found that the back building is not like the front building, the front building is separated by one floor, but the back building is open inside. From the outside, there is no difference between the front building and the back building, but there is something different from the inside. The back building is outside the square and the inside is round, the rooms are built around the middle, and there are 4 stairs, which are in 4 directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest. When I came to the railing and looked downstairs, there was a table in the middle of the first floor, that is, in the middle of the building.
It's so big, how do I find someone with a golden toad? So I decided to walk around the 3rd floor first, and I found that there were no rooms on the 3rd floor, all of them were separated by screens, and the people inside could speak loudly so that people outside could hear them. I found that on the third floor, there were some poor people, and most of them were discussing knowledge. Go down to the 2nd floor, there are not only rooms on the 2nd floor, but as long as there are people in one room, the 2 rooms next to it will be vacant, so as to prevent others from eavesdropping, this building is really not as simple as it seems.
I didn't get anything on the 2nd floor, so I went down to the 1st floor. This floor gave me a very strange feeling, I was like a rabbit walking into a hunting range and being targeted by a poisonous snake, which was very unpleasant, but I looked around and found no one. It's strange how there is nothing on this floor, except for that table, it's weird! I didn't find anything here today, I can't just leave, I haven't found anyone yet!
There's no one here.,I can't ask someone.,Then I have only one way.,That's this table.,Only this table on the first floor must be exquisite.,Only when I use this table.,Can I attract everyone's attention.,I have the opportunity to let people with golden toads notice me.。 The table was equipped with 2 chairs, and there was nothing on the table, so I walked into the table, pulled out the chair and sat down. As soon as I sat down, I heard the voice of a person shouting with internal force resounding throughout the building.
"The lights are on the first floor."
I saw that after I finished speaking, all the people were lying on the railing looking at me, and the building suddenly became lively, and I took the opportunity to listen to the conversation of the people in the building with internal force, and the result was that there was everything.
"No one has dared to sit there for many years, but today I have to open my eyes."
"Why is it a little girl?"
"Behold! She didn't know anything before she sat down. ”
"I don't think so! Anyone who can enter this back building is simple. ”
"Could it be that someone is behind the scenes?"
"Who knows! Look, someone sat across from the little girl. ”
"It's Boss Yan."
At this time, there was a person sitting opposite me, about thirty years old, with a Chinese character face, sword eyebrows, and a strict face, worthy of the surname Yan. Boss Yan opened his mouth and said, "Since you have sat down, you have to accept the test. ”
"What test?"
"Why do you sit down without knowing the rules?" Boss Yan said angrily.
"Why can't I sit down. I got tired of shopping, so I sat down. "I pretended I didn't understand anything.
"Do you know that this table is not something you want to sit at?" Boss Yan said loudly.
"Then I'll get up." Anyway, my goal was achieved.
"Wait. This table is not something you want to sit and go. "Boss Yan stopped me.
"And what are you going to do?" I looked at him.
I was talking to Boss Yan on the first floor, but I didn't know that there were two groups of people watching me on the second floor, one of them was Xiahou Fei.
"Young master, do you want to make a move?" Ah Da beside Xiahou Fei said that this person was the boss of the guards who protected Xiahou Fei that day.
"I'm not in a hurry to make a move, I want to see how she solves it." Xiahou Fei's signature ruffian smile appeared on his face again.
In a room opposite Xiahou Fei, another person also raised interest, "It's interesting, I don't know the rules, so I dare to sit on it." I took a sip of tea and went to the window to look at the first floor.
"You have two paths to take, the first one is to leave your two arms behind if you want to go straight ahead."
"What are you kidding, the second one!" What kind of table is this, my dear! You know that this is not an ordinary table, but you can't just ask for someone's arm!
"Second, you have to break through 4 levels in a row and win against them, as long as you win, you can come here in the future, you don't need any silver taels to eat and drink, and as long as we Mo Xuanzhai can do it, you can do whatever you want."
"That's pretty good." I thought to myself, wouldn't it be very convenient for me to look up what I was going to look up then.
"But if you lose, you have to keep your arms."
Hmph, I'm not afraid, just let the horses come! "Don't worry, my arm is very precious and strong, and you can't take it away. I'll choose the second one. ”
"Okay." Boss Yan shouted. "Someone."
Four people ran out from the south, south, west, and northwest, "Boss! ”
"Go and ask them to come over."
"Yes."
About a stick of incense, there was a commotion from upstairs, "Look at the four elders in the back building." ”
The Four Elders? One person came from the south, east, west, and northwest, and one from the east, about forty years old, dressed in a green robe; A man from the south, about sixty years old, dressed in a white robe; A man from the west, about fifty years old, dressed in an ink robe; The man from the north was a woman, about thirty years old.
"Boss Yan." The four of them said in unison.
"Guys, I have to bother you today."
"Gladly."
"You're the one to challenge us?" The old man in the ink robe asked.
"No, it's a little girl."
"I hope you don't let us run for nothing." The white-robed old man touched his beard and said.
"I will do my best." I arched my hand.
"Let's get started!" Boss Yan said.
"I'll do it first!" The blue-robed man said.
"Please advise."
Boss Yan ordered someone to put a guqin on the big table, and when the guqin passed by me, I gently tried it with my fingers, it was a good piano, and the sound was very good.
"Will you come first, or will I come first?" The man in the green robe asked me.
"Sir, please." I made a gesture of please.
"Okay, I'll do it first." After the man in the green robe finished speaking, he sat down at the table, and the sound of the piano slowly entered his ears, such as a crisp sound, melodious and euphemistic, and fascinating. The people upstairs were soothed by the sound of the piano, and they all fell silent.
After the song, the audience was silent, and with the applause of Boss Yan, the people upstairs also applauded.
"Okay, worthy of the king of the piano. In the past few years, your piano skills have improved a lot! Boss Yan said with a smile.
"I finally lived up to Boss Yan's expectations." The King of the Piano made a move.
"Miss, please."
"The king of the piano is a good piano artist, I am fortunate to hear it today, and it is not in vain for me to come."
"Passing the prize."
I sat down at the table and reached out to try it, a little short. Everyone upstairs burst out laughing, "You see, this doll can't even reach the piano." ”
"yes, yes!"
"She also wants to challenge the four elders? Just kidding! ”
I can hear their conversations, and I'm not angry, who calls himself only 5 years old!
"Boss Yan, please ask someone to come to a small bench."
"Okay." Boss Yan turned around and ordered someone to fetch a small bench.
I stood directly on the small bench, just high enough to play the piano, and the style of the piano king was relatively mild, so if I wanted to win, I had to do the opposite, so I played the one in the movie I like more in modern times.
Canghai laughed and surging the tide on both sides of the strait
The ups and downs follow the waves, only remember the present day
The sky is laughing, and the tide is in the world
God knows who loses and who wins
The rivers and mountains are smiling and the rain is far away
The waves sweep away the red and earthly world
The breeze laughed and made it lonely
There is still a night photo left of pride
Cangsheng laughs no longer lonely
Pride is still smiling infatuately
......"
After playing a song, waves of applause rang out, and it couldn't stop for a long time.
"It's a loss." The Piano King bowed his head slightly.
"I conceded."
"Let me meet you for a moment!" The white-robed old man touched his beard, "Play chess." ”
"Please give me a lot of advice."
Jean was removed and placed on the chessboard.
"Do you hold a black or a white one?" The white-robed old man asked.
"Kuroko."
I hold the black son, go down first, the old man in the white robe goes down, just like this, you come and go, he eats my son, I eat his son, about 1 hour, the people upstairs are starting to get impatient, "When do you say they can divide the victory!" ”
"It's not clear yet."
"Who said that, I see! The chess master will win, didn't you see the master eat a lot of her pieces? ”
"I think so."
I've been eaten a lot, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for my son to be successful. I've been letting him keep eating my son, just to invite you into the urn, and I want him to enter my Zhenlong chess game. On the contrary, the white-robed chess saint was thinking in his heart, whether he was playing too smoothly, and it seemed that I was passing the test all the way, but I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't see where the problem was.
