Chapter 82: An Inconspicuous Stone Sculpture

Following Jin Siniang, who didn't dare to stop humming a clear tune, took a closer look, and the whole picture of the manor gradually came into view: I saw that on the crimson fallen flowers that did not exceed the knees, there was a circle of milky white high walls, and on the top of the high wall, there were layers of porcelain tiles with quiet color and luster neatly and meticulously, and the exquisite and elegant panes on the wall holes were more vibrantly drilled out of a lot of lush green leaves, combined with the agarwood of exotic flowers and plants, which made me suddenly feel that my eyes fell on the white walls and green tiles. It's like watching a quiet and freehand volume of calligraphy and painting, and it is also quite fascinating and comfortable.

Curious, I also couldn't wait to ask Ah Xia, can I see the age style of this courtyard from the appearance, who knows, Ah Xia, a girl who is knowledgeable in general history, looked at it for a long time, but did not see a reason, and met everyone's expectant eyes, she had to think hard for a while, but finally shook her head and said that she didn't know.

Well, it's at the door anyway, and if you have a problem, why don't you go in and ask the host. Maybe they'll be eager to send us back.

Thinking like this, I also pulled Ah Xia up and walked a few steps, followed the crowd, and caught up with Linda, who was escorting Ah Shui to the foot of the high wall. After walking about a hundred steps along the corner, everyone stopped at what looked like a gate. After a cursory observation, we found that the shape of this gate four or five feet high was not luxurious; The simplicity and plainness are like the simple firewood doors of ordinary people. It's just that the wood of this door panel is a good material that can still be seen to be surrounded by vitality under the eyes of the heart, which directly caused Jin Siniang, who was influenced by Uncle Dachuan and had a lot of insight into building materials and wood, to praise it repeatedly. This alone also makes us a little curious about the identity of the owner of this manor.

When I came to the door, I found that the pair of copper knockers hanging high on the closed door were also hidden mysteries - ordinary door knockers, where the bracelets were hung, were nothing more than ordinary brass hole covers; What is even more amazing is that the texture on the jade plate is naturally carved and decorated into two black and white fish hugging each other, showing a Tai Chi pattern of one left and one right two groups of each other. Under a closer look, the ink on the jade plate is even more like dripping, but the reason is not that the jade plate is often touched, but that there is no dust on the jade plate that no one cares for.

It's amazing.

Admiration, just when everyone gathered in front of this elegant and chic main gate, the flowers on the other side of the road behind them also automatically "snorted", raised their heads together, and the swaying branches also projected a cluster of yellowed warm light and shadow onto the jade plate, and suddenly reflected a burst of colorful ribbons, even if I don't need to look at it, I can feel that the jade plate is like a life, greedily sucking the crimson gas spread by the spirit flower, people can't help but be amazed, only care about secretly praise, The skillful craftsman who carved such a thing was so skillful.

"Go, knock on the door." It is estimated that seeing that everyone is just watching, and there is no substantive action, Linda also seemed a little impatient, and gently pushed Ah Shui behind the back, sending him to the door knocker, and then his face was also a trademark smile, and the jaw head signaled him to quickly pull up the copper ring and call the door.

Ah Shui was also helpless when he saw this, although he muttered uncleanly in his mouth, he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, and unambiguously followed Linda's command, groped to pull up the door knocker, and raised it vigorously at an exaggerated angle, and then knocked down heavily.

"End, end, end...... End, end, end ......"

It is also strange to say that the two tall and majestic wooden doors were knocked on by him a few times, and they really "squeaked" and opened. This neat energy, there is no sign of help from others, nor the slightest echo of someone answering the door, as if the host has detected the visit of a guest through some kind of ingenuity, and takes the initiative to open the door for us, so generously, the door of the courtyard has been completely opened.

I was also curious about the scene inside the door, and before the door opened, I had already stretched out my head to look inside the door, but I didn't know, my eyes had just crossed the threshold, and it was blocked by a white mist with a strange fragrance. What's even more amazing is that Ah Shui, who was stunned with the sound of the door opening, and Linda, who was not far behind him, were swept into the door by a strange wind that suddenly blew out of the thick fog. When the others reacted, they found that the wooden door that was wide open just now was closed again.

"What the hell is this!"

In addition to being surprised, I couldn't help but want to go up and find out in person, and I was about to pull Ah Xia closer, but I was stopped by Zhengxiong reaching out.

"Brother Li, let me try it first, I think I've touched some of the doorways of this mechanism." As he spoke, he had already taken steady steps and stepped forward.

"Organs? Isn't this an ordinary door? Hearing his words, I also shook my tiger body suddenly, looked at Ah Xia, and then looked at the blind man who involuntarily stepped forward because I was worried that Zhengxiong would suffer, and finally got a definite answer from Jin Siniang's solemn gaze.

"Ah Xiong, be careful." Since even Jin Siniang, who always let go of her son's experience along the way, opened Jinkou, then presumably this organ also has some weight. Having said that, I just don't know, what happened to Linda and Ah Shui, who were just sucked in by the dense fog inside the door? With Linda's skills, it shouldn't be a big deal, probably.

I thought about it, Zhengxiong had already nodded, promised Jin Siniang, and cautiously walked to the jade plate. And two steps behind him, just in case, a blind man who had already changed into a Gu man form in advance, it seemed that he had already found a good place to help him, and was ready to deal with the suction.

After preparing to stop, I saw Zhengxiong calmly holding down the two jade plates with both hands, gently rotating the plate surface, and rotating the previous Taiji diagram at an angle to become a horizontal and vertical form, and then gently pulled up the copper ring and knocked on the door.

Sure enough, the closed door opened again, and just like last time, a strange wind blew out of the thick fog again, sweeping towards the bear and the blind man, and at the same time, it also blocked the four of us outside. Under the strong wind, whether it was the blind man who grabbed the doorrail fiercely in the circle, or Jin Siniang, who also wrestled with the golden wind outside the circle, he was defeated in this ingenious but floating wandering strange wind. When the wind and waves calmed down, in front of the re-closed door, only Jin Siniang, who rushed to the jade plate worriedly, and Alu, who was stunned to look at the Qiaomu horizontal fence that was broken by the brute blind man and restored in an instant. As a result, after a toss, this time, the strange wind still only took two people.

Ignoring the dissuasion of me and Ah Xia, she had adjusted the pattern of the Taiji fish into two vertical shapes in one breath, and then anxiously pulled the knocker knocker and knocked on the door.

Before being willingly swept into the door by the strange wind, Jin Siniang also told me and Ah Xia: "If it still attracts strange wind this time, then don't try." Stay where you are and wait for us to come out. ”

Uh, so what the hell is going to do now? Jin Siniang and Aru were really swept away. Looking back at the previous three knocks, my mind was cranky again. What I thought of this time turned out to be a boring memory of compiling the principles of a computer science elective course in college—something that I couldn't beat at all! Somehow, it feels like lately, the brain is getting more and more difficult to use.

I was about to give up, and instead asked Ah Xia, who looked more reliable, about to think about it, and just as I was about to speak, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but say the train of thought that suddenly came to my mind:

If we take the form of the Taiji diagram of the two fish hugging each other up and down as the code 0, and then encode the form of the left and right hugging as 1, then we can actually get the four combinations of the "password" on the jade plate panel: 00-horizontal, 01-horizontal, 10-vertical, 11-vertical, and if we add the four elephants in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, it is:

Just, isn't that right? Sure enough, I had to give it a try! Thinking of this, I also glanced at Ah Xia, and adjusted the Taiji fish pattern on the jade plate to a combination that the six had not tried before: the "horizontal" situation of coding 00.

After Ah Xia nodded to signal that it was ready, I was about to pull up the knocker and knock on the door, but who knows, the ghost monkey Xiaoshi, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder, actually "squeak-" at this time, stretched out lazily, opened her mouth wide, stretched a big lazy waist, and woke up. This little guy probably slept enough, but he was not honest at all after getting up, and in the blink of an eye, he had already jumped down from Ah Xia's shoulder, and circled around the ten-zhang square ground in front of the closed gate.

"Xiao Shi! Come back! Seeing this, Ah Xia also greeted it a few times in disgust. Who knows, Xiao Shi, who was originally obedient to her words, ignored her shouting this time, but climbed to the two inconspicuous stone sculptures standing on both sides of the gate, scratching his ears and cheeks and screaming.

"Plum, look!" Ah Xia didn't look at it, but when she saw it, she was also shocked, and hurriedly pulled me over.

"Ahh

I looked at it, and I was also startled, the two stone sculptures that were covered with a thick layer of floating dust before were estimated to have been sucked away by three gusts of strange wind in succession, sucking away the flying ash accumulated by Jing Nianyue on the top of the statue, showing its true face of Lushan-

What a coincidence! The image of the spirit beast of this door is not two stone lions, but two ghost monkeys scratching their heads and making gestures!
