Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 215 The Ancestral Hall of the Eldest Sun Clan
I have to say that Wu Yusheng's mouth is broken, and his character is still so poor.
I just said that the hall was full of people and it was not suitable for talking, but when I arrived in the room, I immediately called the woman from Xue'er to come over.
I was beaten to the point of dying just now, but after seeing the beauty, I immediately jumped alive.
"What did you just want to ask?" He asked, holding a chicken leg, taking a bite, and taking another glass of wine.
"Tell me, how do you know me?" Xu Xiang asked, "Except for you bumping into Yuan Gongzi in the night market, we don't seem to have met, right?" ”
Wu Yusheng put down the chicken legs, picked his teeth with his little thumb, and said, "His Royal Highness is famous, and he can't know him if he wants to." ”
Xu Xiang was taken aback, he didn't expect to meet someone who knew him, but what did he mean by "famous", or the original Xu Xiang?
"Even if you know me, how do you know I'm here for you?" After all, meeting Wu Yusheng and asking him for news was only temporary, and he could not have the ability to predict the future.
"Actually, I know the purpose of your coming to Changhe Town, and you don't have to hide it! When you come to Changhe Town, your eyes are black, who are you looking for if you don't look for me? He said as a matter of course.
"So, that old man who sells caramel was arranged by you? And you bumped into me, also on purpose? Xuanyuan asked.
"Alas!" He let out a long sigh, "I thought I could use this to pit some silver from you, but I didn't expect to run into this group of Beimeng dog thieves who killed a thousand knives!" It's really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold! ”
Remember the URL
Xu Xiang and Xuanyuan Ding exchanged a look, he said this by acquiescence, except for the Beimeng soldier, everything tonight was deliberately arranged by him.
And he said, knowing the purpose of his coming, could it be that he is a member of the Tenryu Division?
After all, their whereabouts and purpose were unknown to anyone except Qin Zhiwei.
"As long as you give us the information we want, the silver is not a problem." Xuanyuan Ding said.
Wu Yusheng said helplessly, "I can't do anything about this!" Our lineage, we have been expelled from the Changsun clan for so long, and even our surname has been changed, where do we know the way back! ”
"Are you from the Eldest Sun Clan?" Xuanyuan Ding said in shock, he didn't expect the eldest grandson clan to really exist.
"What? I'm not like? Wu Yusheng asked.
Xu Xiang scolded in his heart, "You look like a der!"
"Well, you wait for me outside, and I'll take you home and show you something good!" Seeing that the two were still in a state of confusion, he spoke again.
"Why wait? Can't you go now? Xu Xiang asked.
"Not now! I'm going to talk to Cher again! Wu Yusheng took Xue'er's hand and said with a serious face.
Xu Xiang and Xuanyuan Ding, as well as Lu Tianyao, who was standing next to him, had three black lines on their foreheads, this guy is really big-hearted!
"How long will that take?"
"Soon, soon, just three hours!"
My three of your sister's hours! Xu Xiang was about to burst into foul language.
Xuanyuan Ding directly took out a stack of Daxia silver tickets, about three hundred taels, "You won't only recognize Meng's silver tickets, right?" ”
"Hey, who's using that!" Wu Yusheng snatched the silver ticket, then stuffed a hundred taels to Xue'er, and said softly: "Xue'er, I still have some things to do today, so I'll go back first." You're going to be good! ”
Xue'er nodded obediently and said, "Wu Gongzi, be careful on the road." ”
Xu Xiang hated this guy so much, but he was helpless against him, he now had the clues they needed most, and he couldn't fall out with him.
"Let's go!"
Walking to the door, Na Xue'er also saw each other off all the way, and the two were reluctant.
If it weren't for the Qinglou here, Xu Xiang would have suspected that he had seen a very loving husband and wife!
"Why don't you just ransom her?" Walking on the road, Xu Xiang asked.
The current Qinglou woman, if she wants to redeem herself, it is not expensive, although this Xue'er girl can barely be called a beauty, but if she wants to spend money to redeem her, at most two hundred taels can be done, he can generously give her one hundred taels, but he did not redeem her, which makes Xu Xiang a little puzzled.
Wu Yusheng stopped, turned to look at Xu Xiang, and said, "Why did I redeem her?" ”
"Don't you like her very much? You have to come to see her every day, you have to spend at least a tael of silver every day, right? After redeeming it, don't you have to spend this unjust money? ”
"After the redemption, who will find out the news for me?" Wu Yusheng said seriously.
As soon as he said this, Xu Xiang understood, it turned out that he didn't really like this Xue'er, but Xue'er was a spy he planted?
Come to see her every day, but it's actually for statistical intelligence?
After walking two streets, Wu Yusheng stopped in front of a large mansion, which looked very magnificent, and the area was even larger than Xu Xiang's home in Ningdu.
It's just that the creeper in the house grows along the wall and grows outside, and it looks like it's been around for some years.
Wu Yusheng stood on tiptoe with ease, untied the lantern hanging on the beam next to the door, lit it, and the surroundings became brighter.
Xu Xiang noticed that there was a huge plaque hanging above the gate of the house, and on the plaque were written two large gilded characters "Wu Mansion".
I didn't expect this man who was dressed very ordinarily, with the face of a villain in the market, to live in such a big house.
It looks like a very brilliant family!
There was a big lock in front of the Wu Mansion, but the lock was rusty, and it looked like no one had been in or out for a long time.
Wu Yusheng took out a golden key and tossed for a long time, but he didn't open the door.
"Are you sure this is your home?" Xu Xiang asked with a skeptical expression.
Wu Yusheng blushed a little, and said in embarrassment: "When... Of course! It's just that I haven't been back for a long time. ”
"Then why can't you open the door of your own house?"
"What are you anxious about!"
After fiddling for a long time, he still didn't open the door, he pulled out the golden key, and sat on the ground with a depressed face, like a deflated ball, "I said a long time ago not to use iron locks, Lao Fan, an old immortal thing, won't listen to me!" ”
Then he said, "No way, let's go over the wall and go in, shall we?" ”
Xu Xiang looked at the three-meter-high wall, with a questioning look in his eyes, "You're not cheating us, are you?" This isn't your home at all, is it? Are you trying to trick us into stealing something for you? ”
"What a steal! This is my home, okay? It's just that I haven't been back for a few years!" He argued, and then added, "Do you want any news from Baige Island?" ”
So, the four of them sneakily climbed over the wall and entered the mansion.
After entering the courtyard, by the light of the lantern, Xu Xiang noticed that the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time.
"Why do you live outside if you have such a big house?" Xuanyuan asked.
"I'm willing, can you handle it? Come with me! ”
Following a stone path that was still faintly visible under the cover of plants, Wu Yusheng led them to the arch behind the courtyard, which was a road to the backyard.
It's just that the weeds on this road are almost up to the waist of a person, if it weren't for the fact that it was still winter, Xu Xiang wouldn't dare to walk like this, who knows if there would be poisonous snakes in it?
Continue to walk forward, you will see a three- or four-meter arch bridge, and on the opposite side of the arch bridge are several stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, behind the stone pillars is a room, and the plaque above the door of the house reads "Ancestral Hall of the Eldest Sun".
The ancestral hall of the eldest grandson? This is the ancestral hall of the eldest grandson?
The plaque was a few years old, and it was a little tattered, with small holes that had been bitten by bugs.
Wu Yusheng pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and it was pitch black, dilapidated, and covered with cobwebs.
"Ahem...... Wu Yusheng ate a mouthful of dust and cleaned up the cobwebs.
After his cleaning, the ancestral hall no longer looks so dilapidated. Shrines and tablets, candlesticks and high halls, and high platforms carved with dragons and phoenixes give people a solemn and solemn feeling, and make people feel awe.
"Archaeoptera!" Xuanyuan Ding saw a portrait posted on the high platform, burst into tears, and knelt down directly.
Xu Xiang looked at the portrait, and the portrait was a woman, in addition to this woman, there was a bird behind the woman that Xu Xiang had seen in the Dragon Bird Valley before!
But the bird folded its wings and stood demure behind the woman, who was dressed in armor and carried a bow and arrow, and looked heroically and brightly with her eyes blazing ahead.
Could it be that this woman is the first queen of Great Xia, the eldest grandson of the Changsun clan, Yusu?
Wu Yusheng didn't feel any surprise, lit the candle on the candlestick, then put on a stick of incense, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed a few times.
Xuanyuan stood up and said excitedly: "That's right! This is the ancestral hall of the eldest grandson! Why is the ancestral hall of the eldest grandson here? ”
Wu Yusheng said lightly: "This is not the real ancestral hall of the eldest grandson, it's just that our ancestors deceived themselves. ”
"How?" Xuanyuan asked.
Wu Yusheng's eyes dimmed for a while, and he said, "Our ancestor was also a branch of the Changsun clan, but he was expelled from Baige Island. Even Changsun, this surname is not allowed for us to use. ”
"Why? How did Hyako Island disappear? Xuanyuan Ding asked excitedly.
Wu Yusheng shook his head, "I don't know! The family has never mentioned the disappearance of Baige Island. ”
"Then you ......"
"You're asking, why did I bring you here? Why do I know, you're looking for Hyako Island? ”
Seeing Xuanyuan nodded, Wu Yusheng spoke, "Our Wu clan has always suffered a curse, that is, men will not live to be forty years old, and there is only one child in each generation. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiang scoffed, feudal superstition kills people!
"Our fate is predestined for life, and for hundreds of years, we will never escape this curse! In the ancestors' texts, only by returning to Baige Island can this curse be lifted! ”
"For this! At that time, the ancestor of the Wu family tried every means to return to Baige Island, so he settled his family in Changhe Town. ”
"It's just that after so many years, it has never been successful. Later, I don't know which ancestor seemed to have found a clue and left Changhe Town alone, and he was gone for many years. In his forty-year-old year, he came back with a message. ”
"When someone from the Xuanyuan clan is ready to find Baige Island, we, the Wu clan, can follow the people of the Changsun clan to Baige Island to seek a return and lift the curse."
"It's just that for so many years, the Xuanyuan royal family has never had the idea of looking for Baige Island, our Wu family, such a small family, naturally can't influence the Xuanyuan royal family, so we can only keep this curse until now."
Xuanyuan was silent, listening quietly to him.
Xu Xiang also seems to have caught something, all this is not unexpected, it should only be able to do it in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, right?
"Generation after generation of efforts, generation after generation of disappointment. So, when it came to my grandfather, we simply moved out of the house and lived outside, only occasionally coming back to clean it. We've given up. ”
"Unexpectedly, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a fairy-looking woman found me and told me that someone from the Xuanyuan clan would come to look for Baige Island."
"So, I've been waiting for you in Changhe Town. I didn't expect you to arrive so long, but it really made me wait! ”
Xu Xiang frowned, no wonder he knew the purpose of their coming, that fairy-looking woman should be Qin Zhiwei, right? After all, only Qin Zhiwei knew their purpose and whereabouts.
It's just that if it's Qin Zhiwei? Why didn't she just tell Xuanyuan that someone in Changhe Town would pick him up?
This point made Xu Xiang unable to figure it out.
Or was there anyone else besides Qin Zhiwei who knew that they were coming to find Baige Island?
"What was that woman like? What is your name? Xu Xiang asked.
Wu Yusheng shook his head, "I didn't tell me what her name was, and I didn't have time to ask yet, she only left me this sentence and left." ”
"As for her appearance, I didn't see it very clearly that night. I only know that she is wearing a golden phoenix robe, wearing a hundred birds to welcome the phoenix hairpin, a face that is extremely delicate, and her smile is like the warm sun in spring! When she left, there was a burst of phoenix roar, and it disappeared in an instant! ”
Xu Xiang was shocked! Qin Zhiwei always looks cold, even if he laughs, he will never smile like the warm sun in spring!
This woman is not Qin Zhiwei!
