Chapter 35: The Ancestral House
Liu Yang put on a coarse linen coat on the outer robe of the flying fish, although after the daytime, Huo Bufan and Wei Zhongxian would not make any more moves, but the clothes of the black dragon guard were more conspicuous and easy to be discovered by those who cared.

He and Zifeng walked together, like a young couple, and they wanted to shout Cheng Yong, but through the door, they could hear the latter's penetrating snoring, and they were tired when they thought about it, so he gave up.
The ancestral house is in the inner city, and it is late at night, and the inner city gate has long been closed.
Even during the day, it was often guarded by soldiers, and homeless beggars were forbidden to enter the inner city.
"What can I do?" Liu Yang looked at the towering city wall and was a little helpless.
If it is a sword spirit, sword spirit and other instrument spirit masters, they can naturally rely on their physical agility, mobilize spiritual power, and climb the wall to enter, even if they are demon bow masters, they can easily do it.
But he is a companion teacher, his own strength is weak, and he also carries a purple phoenix, and the city wall in front of him is no less than a high mountain.
Liu Yang couldn't help but think of Li Lao's Golden-winged Bird, and the companion beast of the flying system immediately became the target of his heart, but now he could only think about it.
He called out to Teemo, "Why don't you let this little creature climb up and open the door from the inside?" ”
"It's so high, it's too dangerous." Zifeng took Timo and said dissatisfied.
She stepped forward and patted the city gate rhythmically, three long and two short, and after a while, the city gate was exposed, and a man in a servant uniform poked his head out, yawned and asked, "Enter the city?" ”
"Excuse me, my brother and I went into the inner city to find something to do." Zifeng pointed at Liu Yang and handed over a small money bag with a smile.
The officer's eyes lit up, he took the money bag and turned it upside down, and nodded with satisfaction.
The city gate opened leisurely, revealing a crack that only allowed one person to pass, "Let's not take it as an example, let's go over." ”
Liu Yang was taken aback, and then followed Zifeng into the city one after the other.
The city gate has always been the top priority, and it was used by these officials to make profits, but thinking of Wei Zhongxian and Master Zhang, Liu Yang was also relieved, what kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers there are.
There are no people in sight on the road, and this is the outskirts of the inner city, which is mostly lined with the residences of some wealthy people.
Zifeng took Liu Yang to bend and bend, and after a while, stopped in front of a building.
"That's it." She said softly, a hint of remembrance in her eyes.
This is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and you can see a small three-storey attic at the back, you can have such a residence in the inner city, and the family before coming to Zifeng is also quite wealthy.
The vermilion gate looks a little dilapidated, and there are still two seals of Lu'an pasted on it.
"It's sealed." Zifeng said lightly, she had just been hit, but she looked extremely calm.
This courtyard is really good, Liu Yang knows it in his heart, this is another trick played by Fengyuelou and Wei Zhongxian, one occupies people's children, and the other robs people's houses, it is really like a robber, but he is wearing an official robe.
Liu Yang stepped forward and was about to tear off the seal, but Zifeng grabbed him and shook his head, "Let's go in." ”
Liu Yang nodded, this is the inner city of Lu'an, and there is a seal, once it is ripped off, Wei Zhongxian is afraid that he will receive the news tomorrow.
Zifeng took him to a corner, and skillfully brought some stones to step on, and turned over with agility like an ape.
The idea of wanting to help could only be stopped, Liu Yang touched his nose and hurriedly followed.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, obviously no one had taken care of it for a long time, and Liu Yang vaguely saw some withered flowers and leaves, and the dull color could still prove the prosperity of the past.
Zifeng looked at all this, memories appeared in her heart, and she couldn't help crying.
Liu Yang was silent, this is what it feels like to have a broken family, his heart fluttered, and he felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Don't cry, it's not good to be heard by the officials patrolling the streets." Liu Yang patted Zifeng's shoulder and comforted.
Zifeng hugged Liu Yang violently and bit him on the shoulder, Liu Yang held back the pain, felt the sobs of the woman in his arms, and felt infinite pity in his heart.
Don't worry, I'll avenge you, he said in his heart.
After a while, Zifeng finally stopped sobbing, she bowed her head to Liu Yang and apologized, and then slowly walked forward.
Silent in the dark, the two walked through the courtyard to the three-story attic.
"This is my family's collection, when I was a child, my father liked to read books in it, and I liked to pester him in it and let him tell me stories." Zifeng burst into tears and smiled, with a kind of happiness of remembrance on her face.
Liu Yang couldn't help but be infected, "Then let's go in and have a look." ”
Only half of the lock on the attic was still hanging on the door, and Liu Yang gently pushed it open, making a squeaking sound, and a puff of dust came to his face.
Zifeng groped straight to the corner of the wall, only to hear the sound of clicking, and after a while, candles lit up on the wall, expelling some of the darkness.
As far as the eye could see, there was a mess, with overturned bookshelves everywhere, some ancient books scattered on the ground, some torn to pieces.
I think that when the official sealed the house, he had already crossed the border like a locust, and the place was also cleaned, and the valuable money was naturally packed and taken away, and the useless ones were discarded everywhere.
Zifeng casually picked up an ancient book on the local area, patted the dust, and looked through it carefully, showing a look of memory on her face from time to time, with joy and sorrow, sadness and sorrow.
Liu Yang didn't bother, held the lamp and candle in his hand, and stood quietly aside.
Timo didn't bother Zifeng, he didn't stay for a while and felt a little bored, he untied something from his short neck, and Liu Yang looked at it, it was actually the tiny telescope.
Timo held the telescope in his hand, looked around, and after a while, jumped off Liu Yang's shoulder and ran away.
Liu Yang shook his head, didn't care about it, and followed Zifeng to the second and third floors of the attic.
The attic can vaguely see the glory of the past, presumably Zifeng also lived very happily before, but all this is in the past.
"Thank you Yang Gongzi today," Zifeng Yingying bowed, "Let's go back." ”
"Didn't the eldest lady say that your father left something for you?"
Zifeng smiled a little miserably, "What has already been removed by those lackeys of the county government." ”
Liu Yang was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to refute, he instinctively felt that the eldest lady would not be untargeted, and things might exist elsewhere.
Liu Yang's heart suddenly moved, "Timo seems to have discovered something." ”
The two hurried downstairs to find Timo jumping up and down in front of a toppled bookshelf, two little paws fluttering and clawing at the wall.
Liu Yang stepped forward, put his ear against the wall, and tapped it gently, "It's empty, there is a mezzanine inside!" ”
Timo squeaked, and his little head nodded.
Zifeng picked it up and kissed it rewardingly, and the latter immediately blushed and fainted with happiness.
Liu Yang shook his head helplessly, he searched carefully, but he couldn't find the location of the organ.
He thought for a moment, summoned the thunder roar, and with a thought, the snow-white giant palm slammed into the wall.
The wall shattered, revealing a dark hollow, Liu Yang was startled, and shone the lamp and candle forward.
It was a stone staircase that led downward, and I didn't know where it led.
Liu Yang glanced at Zifeng, the latter looked surprised, she grew up and lived in the ancestral house, and she didn't know that there was such a secret passage at home.
"What Ling Zun left for you, I'm afraid it's inside." Liu Yang dragged Timo out of Zifeng's arms and threw him into the tunnel, "Go ahead and explore the way!" ”
Timo looked at Liu Yang with a reluctant look.
"A bag of pine cones?"
Teemo shook his head, looking at the dark tunnel, looking scared.
"Three bags," Seeing that Timo was still haggling, Liu Yang feigned anger and said, "If you don't go, there won't be a single bag!" ”
Teemo whistled and slipped into the tunnel excitedly, looking a little scared.
After a while, there was a sound of rustling, and Timo staggered out of the darkness, still holding something vaguely like a stone in his arms.
It handed the stone to Liu Yang as if offering a treasure, and Liu Yang took it and was surprised.
This stone is colorful, faintly silver in the dark, except for the slightly smaller size, it is clearly a precious low-grade yuan stone!
Timo squeaked non-stop, although Liu Yang couldn't understand everything, but he also heard a rough idea, under this tunnel, in addition to the Yuan Stone, there is also a spirit stone, and there is more than one!
As a companion beast, Timo's existence and strength come from Liu Yang's Yuan Force, so Yuan Shi has a special attraction to it, and it instinctively holds out Yuan Shi.
"There's no danger down there, let's go down." Liu Yang said and let Zifeng walk behind him, holding the lamp and candle, and slowly walked down the stairs.
The stone steps are not long, and after turning a corner, it will soon be finished.
Liu Yang held up the lamp and candle, and by the faint light, he realized that this was a secret room like a circular cellar.
There were some torches hanging faintly on the wall, and Liu Yang lit them one by one, and the whole secret room suddenly brightened, and his eyes lit up.
Against the wall of the chamber, four large chests were neatly placed, one of which had been opened, revealing a silver glow, and Teemo jumped on the box and pointed at it.
Liu Yang's heart moved, and he stepped forward quickly, and in the big box, there were a bunch of large and small colorful stones, all of which turned out to be Yuan stones!
Several of the Yuan Stones are slightly larger in size, and the purity of the Yuan Force is not inferior to the one Liu Yang exchanged for in the Xuan Pavilion, and they are all Yuan Stones of medium quality!
Liu Yang roughly estimated that the number of this box of yuan stones was at least more than 100!
If you use so many Yuan Stones for cultivation, it is only a matter of time before you break through to the Silver Intermediate Rank, and even reach the Silver High Rank.
He opened the box on the left with some excitement, and there were also some crystal clear stones piled up inside, the number was the same as the Yuan Stone, and it was all spirit stones!
The third big box - demon stone!
The fourth big box - magic stones!
