Chapter 135: Setting Sail (Part II)

The two little guys looked at Shu'er curiously, looked at each other and smiled, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to take the cooking utensils in the hands of the young master and young lady.

Before Shu'er could react to the title of "Young Lady", Zhuge calmly had already pulled her forward and strode forward, and said with a smile to Mo Xindan and the two little guys who were following them: "Young Master, this is a big show, take the young lady's stomach first!" ”

Shu'er glared at him, thinking sweetly but reluctantly, why did my heart, liver, spleen and stomach belong to you?

The courtyard of Zhuge private house is decorated with simple decoration, and the houses are mostly made of stone instead of bricks, pottery and wood, which is not quite different from any house Shu'er has seen in the land of Kyushu. The small stone building is gray and white, and it is crystal bright in the sun. Five hundred years of sea breeze erosion, the edge of the house has been somewhat rounded, there is no white jade palace eaves of the edges and corners, nor the Jinyang Palace color of the calm and dignified, but smart and lovely, like the residence of the sea elves, adding a touch of vitality to the lonely island.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Mo Xindie ordered the servants to help make a fire and cook, and Zhuge Congrong picked two live fish in the water tank, and used the tomb sword to cut the fish skin and cut the fish. Shu'er had nothing to do, so she had to help choose and wash the vegetables.

After the meal was ready, several people sat around the stone table in the courtyard to eat. Zhuge calmly said to Shu'er: "This mansion was jointly designed by Su Xian's predecessors and King Zhou Le. After they raised their predecessors to grow up, they often returned to the Chu State by boat, collected a lot of stones and utensils, recruited some trustworthy people, and slowly built a courtyard on the manuscript on the island. It's a pity that their design is too complicated and elaborate, and King Zhou Le and Su Xian's predecessors didn't wait for the completion of this private mansion before they died. The two sons of the Forgotten Immortal Predecessors and King Zhou Le were busy building the luxurious mausoleum, and they did not wait for the completion of the project. This mansion has consumed the efforts of five generations of island owners. ”

Shu'er took a bite of the fresh fish that Zhuge calmly cut, and took another sip of the good wine brewed by Mo Xindie, nodded and praised: "No wonder it is so ingenious, fresh and smart." Living on such an island, life is love, death is quiet, it is really a fairyland. If the sea breeze is tired and the raw fish is tired of eating, you can take a boat for three days to reach the golden beach of Chu State, and then walk the Xianjiang waterway for a few days, which is the hustle and bustle of the floating world. Su Xian's predecessors and Zhou Lewang are really good at choosing places to enjoy! ”

Mo Xinji shook his head and smiled: "Young lady, what you will enjoy is only the ancestors of the Forgotten Immortals and the island masters of the later generations. King Zhou Le painted the ground here as a prison, and Su Xian's predecessors accompanied King Zhou Le, and he never returned to the land of Kyushu in the second half of his life. At this time, the two of them lived on the island, which was still very deserted, with no housekeepers and servants, no pavilions, and not even a mausoleum. In fact, whether the Xuanji Island is fresh and agile or barren and isolated is all in the state of mind of the island owner. ”

Shu'er thought for a moment and agreed: "Grandpa Mo is right. Although the island was barren and isolated when Su Xian's predecessor and Zhou Lewang lived here, Su Xian's predecessor was able to accompany the person he longed for, and he may not be alone. ”

Mo Xinzhi nodded.

After eating, the little fox was satisfied with lying in the courtyard of Zhuge private house to bask in the sun, and in the words of several people, his eyelids gradually drooped.

After eating a meal and washing the tableware, Zhuge calmly took Shu'er back to the ancient tomb of King Zhou.

Facing the stone gate of the mausoleum, Zhuge calmly said to Shu'er: "Although there are housekeepers and many servants on the island, they don't know how the mechanism of the ancient tomb of King Zhou was opened. The century-old treasures here are priceless, so only the owners and heirs of the past generations are qualified to know. ”

He took Shu'er's hand, put her little hand on the stone knob, and said, "Shu'er, what I have planned with my father-in-law is extremely dangerous, and if I am careless after the incident, I am afraid that my life will be lost." Although the wives of the previous island owners and the wives of the young masters did not know the mechanism of this mausoleum, there was no stipulation in the last words of Su Xian's predecessors that they should not know. Since you and I have made a vow to live and die together, I will tell you all the mechanisms in this mausoleum today. ”

Zhuge calmly covered Shu'er's hand, and Shu'er felt the warmth of his hand, mixed with heavy trust and trust. She stretched out her other hand to cover Zhuge calmly's lips, and said with a straight face: "Calmly, neither you nor your father-in-law can have an accident." Don't tell me how to open the mausoleum's mechanism, I can't remember, and I don't want to know. ”

Zhuge calmly understood Shu'er's worries, he took Shu'er's hand that was gently covering his lips, and said gently, "You don't have to worry. Our stepfather has been planning for 30 years, and without the determination to win, we cannot easily get into trouble. Don't take what I say today as my last words, but take the treasure in this mausoleum as my dowry to you. You can remember the accounts of half of Chen Guo's business, you can remember the footwork in "Xuannu Steps", and you can remember the complicated roads on the island, these institutions will not be difficult for you at all. ”

Shu'er looked at Zhuge calmly and calmly in his eyes, and Fang nodded. So Zhuge calmly led Shu'er's hand, swirled the mechanism, and opened the tomb door.

The two put back the tableware and swords, and Zhuge calmly took Shu'er to browse the twenty-one underground tombs one by one, teaching her to open the tomb doors one by one, and patiently explaining the collections in each tomb.

When he came to the last room at the bottom, Zhuge said calmly: "This room has no mechanism and cannot be opened. ”

Shu'er lowered her voice and asked, "This is the resting place of King Zhou Le and Su Xian's predecessors, right?" ”

Zhuge nodded calmly and said, "Yes." ”

Shu'er sighed lightly, and Zhuge calmly turned away. It turned out that the resounding sentence of "life is not the same heart, death will be the same grave", in exchange for the silence that no one has been able to open for 500 years.

For three days on the island, Shu'er calmly went to the ancient tomb of King Zhou with Zhuge every day to repeatedly remember the method of opening the mechanism in the tomb, and browsed the collections in the tomb. By the fourth day, she had been able to open the mechanisms of each chamber on her own with great precision and skill. She couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master, I really know now what a 'rich country' is." I can move out one of the twenty burial chambers in the ancient tomb of King Zhou and sell them in the black market in Fanjing, so that overnight, I can be richer than the treasury of King Chen, King Shu, and King Zhao combined! ”

Zhuge smiled calmly: "What the lord said is right, but in the Chen and Song wars twenty years ago, the treasury of Chen Guo spent a lot, and over the years, he often had to deal with the provocations of the Rong clan outside the Guan, Chen Wang Li Chen, in fact, he didn't have much money." As for the king of Shu, what is money, he probably has no concept at all. Shu has a natural barrier like Xiling, and there have been many dynasties that have not fought with other countries. The last great war in Shu was when Wuyi unified the two countries. Zichuan Shu Palace has been built by the Shu kings of previous dynasties, it is extremely gorgeous, and Wu Xie lives in the heavenly palace-like Yi Hui Palace to practice swords all day long, and may not have counted the treasury of Shu in his life. Money is not dead, it's alive. After not taking care of it for many years, the treasury of Shu definitely does not have much inventory. As for Zhao Guo, he was even more sandwiched between Chen and Song, cautious and stretched. In this way, your diligent brother Liu Jing is indeed a good king. Sooner or later, he will be richer than Zhou Lewang and Su Xian's predecessors. As for the Chu State, it has not yet been unified, and I don't know if the king who reopened the Zhaohuang Palace can extinguish the war and return the Chu realm to a prosperous and prosperous era. ”

Leaving the ancient tomb of King Zhou and coming to the shore of the isolated island, Shu'er tied the cloth sail knot, and Zhuge calmly raised the white sail. The sea breeze pushed their ship into the waves.
