Chapter 228
"Fifth brother, if you really want to die, sister, I can't help you, ask for more blessings..." Hua Qi sighed helplessly and went straight to his room and didn't care about him.
Hua Tao wiped the cold sweat on his face twice and sighed, "The owner should know that there is an ancient well in the old mansion of the Hua family, right?" There is a spring under the well...".
"Huh?" Hua Tang's brows furrowed slightly, "The old mansion of the Hua family... Ancient wells? ”。
Although he only symbolically went back to go back symbolically when the descendants of the Hua family worshiped their ancestors every year, he was born in that house and was brought back to the 'Smoke Willow Villa' after the '100-year-old banquet', and he didn't notice this detail before and didn't care.
Hua Tao suddenly mentioned the ancient well today, and he couldn't help but feel like he had a little story, as if there was some kind of inseparable connection with him.
"It's the well in the old house..."Hua Tao kept his head down to wipe his sweat and didn't see Hua Tang's expression at the moment, and then said, "The spring under the well has been flowing for more than a hundred years, and the well water is different from other places, not only sweet and clear, but the wellhead is even more foggy when the heavy rain is coming. The morning fog rises in the morning, and the twilight is a colorful glow, and the old generation says that there is a rare treasure hidden inside, and the bottom of the well is connected to the Dragon Palace...".
"Huh?" Hua Tang's brows furrowed again, "Dragon Palace? ”。
If there is this legend on the ancestors of the Hua family, does it mean that it may be some kind of dragon-like creature born at the bottom of the well? If you can find that dragon palace and catch that 'dragon', is it possible to find the 'Flowing Dust Bead'?
The envelope left by Xiaoyue has a very obvious hint: Xuanlong tears, breaking people's intestines. Is it the beads of tears that the dragon cried when he was sad?
"In fact, this legend has been passed down for several generations, and everyone knows that there is a treasure in the well, but because the well is very evil and the water is too cold, it can't go down at all. So it's always just a legend, and no one has ever really seen it...".
"What does evil mean?" Hua Tang asked again, "Why didn't I know there was such a legend?" ”。
Hua Tao smiled bitterly, "Owner, you are a nobleman!" Since I was a child, I have been living in 'Yanliu Villa' as the prince, and you don't bother to know about these things in the Hua family? ”。
This is not wrong, although Hua Tang has always followed his ancestors' father's surname and also has a ranking of the seventh master in the Hua family, he has almost no impression of the Hua family, so it is normal that he is too lazy to listen to everything and not to know.
"Go on!" Hua Tang urged, "What does that ancient well have to do with beads?" ”。
"Of course... It's related..."Hua Tao looked up at Hua Tang's face and replied cautiously, "The evil that the elders said is that the well is very evil, and there is nothing to do if you take water from the well, if someone wants to go down to the well to catch the baby, there will be a layer of blue light at the wellhead, and the blue light cannot be removed or penetrated." I've seen it before, too, and it looks gloomy... It's wicked! ”。
Hua Tao has been talking about the ancient wells in the Hua family's old mansion, and he has started to tell supernatural stories again, Hua Tang looked at him and sighed lightly, "Fifth Master, this Lanwan is the territory of the Lan family, out of this door, I can't guarantee that Mr. Kang or Young Master Lan will use any way to invite you over to ask!" ”。
Kang Ran and Lan Tianxing are not related to him, and of course they don't have to take too much into account of family affection, most of them will send someone to arrest him and interrogate him as a prisoner.
"No, it's not! "Five years ago, there was a big drought in my hometown, and the ancient well dried up because the groundwater level was too low, and the blue light shrouded in the wellhead also disappeared. Because they all wanted to know what was going on, they just...".
"Did you go down into the well? What do you see? Hua Tang asked, "Is there any living creature at the bottom of the well?" ”。
Hua Tao nodded and replied, "There is a tree at the bottom of the well, and I don't know what kind of plant it is." The whole tree was soaked in the cold well water, and it could grow so luxuriantly without sunlight all year round, that I had never seen or heard of it in my life...".
"Trees? Only one tree? Hua Tang groaned and asked, "What else is there?" What does it have to do with that bead? ”。
Hua Tao shook his head, "No! The beads... It was hanging from a dead tree at the bottom of the well, but as soon as we went down to get it, it disappeared...".
"Gone... Oh? Is it such a coincidence? Hua Tang's brows tightened, and his face turned cold, "Since the bead has disappeared, what did the fifth master's 300 million get in exchange?" ”。
"Hey! You say that... That bead is actually..."As soon as Hua Tao said half a sentence, Hua Tang suddenly stepped forward and picked up Hua Tao, who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, and warned coldly, "You don't want to say that you can exchange it for money if you sell a fake bead, do you?" Do you think, is the buyer a fool or am I? ”。
"Neither! No, the owner..."Hua Tao was a little short of breath and nervous when he was carried in mid-air, "Let me down, listen to my explanation... Let me go first...".
"Good! The fifth master had better explain clearly and let me hear it whitely, otherwise..."Hua Tang threw Hua Tao to the ground directly with a flick of his arm, and then took a few wet wipes from the tea table and carefully wiped his hands clean, if the first warning was ineffective, he would not be so polite again.
Although Hua Tao's fat figure was hurt by the fall, he quickly got up again and explained, "This matter was the idea of the fourth brother and the eighth brother at that time, and a buyer on his side heard that our Hua family had such a treasure, so he wanted to buy it at any cost, but we really didn't get the beads at that time." The owner also knew that our Hua family usually spent a lot of money, and making money in business was not our strong point, and later the third brother and the sixth brother said...".
"The third master, the fourth master, the sixth master, the eighth master, plus you, the fifth master of the Hua family, it seems..."Hua Tang sneered, "In addition to me, several masters of the Hua family are involved?" ”。
The Hua family has a total of eight cousins in this generation, and the eldest and second grandfathers have been dead for many years. After the death of the Hua family's uncle, the fifth master Hua Tao has been in charge of the family's affairs, and he is very appealing in the Hua family and can be regarded as a leader-level figure, so it is impossible for him to be unclear about the affairs of the Hua family.
"It's... Sort of! Hua Tao didn't dare to defend himself anymore, so he could only continue, "The third brother and the sixth brother think that this is a good opportunity to make money, and the gringos don't understand the real mystery here, so they specially processed the Yeyin bead that was originally offered in the ancestral hall, but in fact, it was the bead that was sold..."
"Although the bead is a treasure handed down from the ancestors of the Hua family, and our brothers should all have a share of the dividends, but the owner of the village, you are not short of money..."Hua Tao explained with a smiling face, "Besides, the owner of the village has been a fairy in the 'Smoke Willow Villa', and you don't bother to hear about those things." So... I didn't report it at the time! ”。
The Hua family has passed down a very valuable night yin pearl since the founding of the sect, which is said to be able to gather yang and avoid yin and drive away evil spirits.
Later generations have always regarded the bead as a sacred object and enshrined it in the ancestral hall for more than 100 years.
If it is really as Hua Tao said, five years ago, Li Dai Tao sold the bead, then the treasure in the ancient well should still be there, but will the ancestors of their Hua family come back to settle accounts with them after knowing this fact?
"Fifth Master, I need to remind you..."Hua Tang's cold gaze fell on Hua Tao's face, "That bead is not only looking for me, but also the eldest young master of the Lan family and Mr. Kang." That's something important to us, if the clues you provide are wrong or you're deliberately hiding something... You may be worse off than dead! ”。
Hua Tao hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "What I said is true, I promise that there is no mistake at all, the owner can send someone to investigate, if I lie, I will be punished by God!" But... But the treasure at the bottom of the well is really gone, and how can we mortals get such a divine object? I really haven't touched it, and the other brothers can testify...".
"A nest of snakes and rats, no good thing!" Hua Tang was impatient to listen to his ramblings, and frowned and said, "No need to explain, let's talk about it when we get to the old mansion...".
"Yes! The subordinates immediately notified them to gather in the old mansion..."Hua Tao hurriedly got up from the ground and walked out, he had just been thrown very hard, and his legs and feet were still a little inflexible at this time, and he staggered and saw Liu Feng standing at the door as soon as he opened the hall door.
