Chapter 267: The Lord's Mansion
Nanfang, the Lord's Mansion.
He Yu and Kong Ming stood dumbfounded on a small bridge made of rotten wooden planks that was about to break, and in front of them were crazy weeds, desolate and uninhabited.
He Yu blinked, but still couldn't react, [We didn't come to the wrong place, this is the Lord's Mansion?]
Kong Ming said: "The person who pointed the way just now is pointing to this side, let's go in and have a look." He was also a little unbelievable, the Lord's Mansion that could be called the three major administrators of the Floating Tong Country along with the Heavenly Official Mansion and the Heavenly Council was actually in the wilderness.
He Yu couldn't do it, and nodded, [Okay.] γ
The two of them cautiously stepped on the small bridge made of rotten wooden planks and walked into the barren grass, the half-man-high weeds had withered and withered in late autumn, and they had the feeling of an antique cage, not only for the glory of verdant.
There is no vigor in spring, no bustle in summer, no silence in winter, it is quiet, calm and deep.
Not long after walking, a two-story small building appeared in front of Kong Ming and He Yu, and there was a hut standing next to it, the two were connected, surrounded by a bamboo fence, and I don't know who had been here before, half of the door of the courtyard had collapsed, and it fell to the ground and became a playmate of the wild grass, and the wood had begun to rot, and it was completely impossible to see the original appearance.
Kong Ming stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the other half of the door, the moment his hand touched it, it collapsed without hesitation, and He Yu immediately turned his back to avoid the dust raised by the heavy object falling to the ground.
Kong Ming: "......"
The gate of the courtyard was completely scrapped, and He Yu and Kong Ming walked all the way forward until they stood at the gate of the Lord's Mansion.
The lacquered mahogany pillars weakly surround a small pavilion-like building on the heights, and on the lintel of the big house, there is also a plaque with gold characters on a red background, with three big characters written on itβthe Lord's Mansion.
The strokes are thick, vigorous and powerful, like flowing water, but there is a little indescribable grandeur.
Biwa Zhu Yong, carved beams and painted buildings, bucket arches and cornices, even though time flies, years change, it still stands in place, with its mottled and immortal to tell the visitors about the prosperity and glory of the past.
Pushing open the door that had been sealed for a long time, the mystery of the Lord's Mansion was finally lifted in front of her.
"Ahem-" Before He Yu's various fantasies about the Lord's Mansion in his mind took shape, he was choked by the dust on his face and coughed.
The old furniture is covered with dust, and the empty and unpopular house shows that the mansion has not been set foot in for a long time.
Kong Ming pinched a few dust removal techniques to make the country lord's mansion a little cleaner.
He Yu and Kong Ming came together, but their purpose was not the Lord's Mansion in Nanfang, to be precise, they had no purpose for this trip.
He Yu wanted to go to every inch of Futong to find the traces of human geography mentioned in ancient books and the secrets behind the abrupt end of history after the Ming Dynasty.
Kong Ming has reached the bottleneck period of cultivation, and Mr. 3000 Yuan of Shi Song Academy suggested that he travel and see the world outside, so as to increase his knowledge, which will be beneficial to his practice, Kong Ming felt that what Mr. said made sense, so he and He Yu, who was also going to go out for a long journey, left Shi Song Academy together.
In the past year, they have walked from Dongfang to Nanfang, of course, not every place in Dongfang has been set foot, and they can only walk roughly.
When He Yu came into contact with the book "Naturalist" when he was a child, Mr. Shuyuan told them that there were three administrators of Futong, the Heavenly Lord's Mansion, the Heavenly Official Mansion, and the Lord's Mansion.
When mentioning the Heavenly Lord's Mansion and the Heavenly Official Mansion, they can talk eloquently, but when mentioning the Lord's Mansion, there is only one sentence, the Lord's Mansion, Ju Nanfang, but the Lord of the Nation, who is it, I don't know.
He Yu became interested in and explored the legendary Lord's Mansion, thinking that he must find out in the future.
At that time, I felt very strange when I heard it, how could the people of a country not even know who the lord of the country was? Although there was a Heavenly Council and the Heavenly Official Mansion to preside over the affairs of the floating tree, the lord of the country was a virtual entity.
She can understand that the lord of the country has no real power, but the people of Ukiki can't even figure out whether the lord exists or not, which is difficult to understand.
The first thing He Yu did when he came to Nanfang was to inquire about the location of the Lord's Mansion with people, and wanted to go to the Lord's Mansion to have a look, Kong Ming had no opinion on this, because He Yu was also curious, although he was a monk, he should have no less curiosity than ordinary people.
The two of them did not go in directly, but stood outside the door for a while, waiting for the air to circulate inside and outside for a while before entering the Lord's Mansion.
He Yu walked in front, and Kong Ming followed closely behind, with a chic posture, like a Zhilan jade tree.
The hall, kitchen, bedroom, and guest rooms on the first floor were all looked at one by one, and no clues were found.
Kong Ming looked at the overturned furniture and sighed, "There must have been quite a few people who entered the Lord's Mansion before us. β
He Yu nodded approvingly, then puzzled, and gestured in sign language, [It stands to reason that the Lord's Mansion is also an important place, don't the Heavenly Council and the Heavenly Official Mansion send someone to guard and repair it?]
Looking at the degree of dilapidation and decay, it will not become the current decay if someone takes care of it, according to the current situation, whether or not you can find the Lord's Mansion after a hundred years is a problem, if it is not repaired in the wind and sun, no matter how good the building is, it will not last long, and look at the desolate appearance of the overgrown grass outside the Lord's Mansion, it can be seen that the Heavenly Council and the Heavenly Official's Mansion do not attach importance to the Lord's Mansion.
Kong Ming also said that it was difficult to understand, the quality of life of the people of Futong Country was still very high, and the Heavenly Council would not even be able to allocate this little star coin.
He Yu twisted his eyebrows and thought, [The Lord's Mansion is dilapidated to what it is now, and the furniture with missing arms and legs doesn't look like someone lives there, so what about the Lord of the Kingdom who should have lived here?!]
Kong Ming pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "There are too few clues to analyze." He pointed to the top of his head, "There's still the second floor, let's go up and have a look." β
He Yu nodded, [Let's go.] γ
There are a few wooden stairs leading to the second floor, I don't know who stepped on a few holes, He Yu and Kong Ming had to find a place to get their feet, Kong Ming stepped on the right side of the stairs that looked quite smooth, but he didn't expect that the inside had already been eaten by insects, and he stepped on this foot very strongly.
Then Kong Ming's whole body fell into the staircase hole.
He Yu stood on the stairs and laughed so much that tears almost fell, it wasn't that she didn't have sympathy, it was really funny......
Kong Ming is very tall, and it is not appropriate to say that the whole person fell in, because he himself has not gone up many steps, and now it is good, the middle of the stairs is directly broken, Kong Ming got up from the wooden ruins, patted the debris stained on his body, and made a dust removal technique, and it returned to its original appearance.
He also laughed when he saw the staircase that he had stepped on.
