I saw that the cute little real was seriously grimacing at the beautifully carved ghost monkey stone statue, and I also smiled dumbly: "This little guy, how thirsty for friends is!" ”

When Ah Xia heard this, seeing Xiao Shi's innocent and funny appearance, she also temporarily forgot the current tension and laughed softly. When I saw her beautiful smiling face, my heart was also much lighter, and I quickly seized the opportunity to think about the next move: should I take the risk and try it directly, or find another way?

That's right! Ghost Monkey! Don't we still have a small tail of fruit on hand?

Thinking of this, I was also excited to tell Ah Xia about the trick I just thought of: Didn't the blind man say that the ghost monkey has the talent to cross life and death and psychic ghosts, in this case, wouldn't it be great if we could use Xiao Shi's ability to try to "summon" the soul of the skilled craftsman who designed this difficult mechanism, and directly torture him to spit out the truth?!

"Makes sense!" After listening to my thoughts, Ah Xia also nodded as if she suddenly realized and said.

Just do it.

Finally took the grinning Xiao Shi back from the stone monkey, and asked Ah Xia to explain to it, Xiao Shi finally stopped making noise, and reluctantly tried this task that his ancestors had never tried. I saw it squint, lightly put on the copper ring, and leaned against the jade plate, as if adjusting the synchronization frequency of its soul with the heavy wooden door that allowed time to pass, but still changed its qi...... Looking at its distracted appearance, I couldn't help but be curious, and I couldn't help but turn on the Wangqi mode: at first, I just saw that the qi around Xiao Shi's body and around the wooden door went their own way, but after a while, the flow of Qi between Xiao Shi and the wooden door had tended to be one, as if the monkey had melted into the long memory of the wooden door over the years.

In a trance, I only felt that I could vaguely see through the small real and ethereal spirits, the courtyard rising from the ground, the towering altar, the red flowers and green grass growing on the white wall, and the skilled craftsmen who were full of spirit and laughter in front of the mysterious wooden door in front of me......

"What's going on?!" By the time I had settled down and condensed my gaze back to the closed wooden door, there were already three more faint remnants like clouds and mist in front of me. Take a look:

The first one, with a bearded tiger eyes, a bare chest and a bare belly, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a dark complexion, at a glance of his strong limbs, knew that he must be a skilled craftsman who could break stones and peck wood; The second place, with a high cloth coat, a long shirt and a dragon's beard, light steps, skinny bones, and a kind of fairy wind and bones in his demeanor, is he a master who designs strange wind and fog? The last one is a long-faced old man with a sour and mean face, seeing his difficult appearance, I also have a feeling that the obscure jade plate mechanism should be from this guy's hand. After the three of them stood side by side, Ah Xia and I also easily found their common ground, although the three appearances, ages, division of labor and even temperament are very different, but they all wear the same black Haoran scarf, and the clothes belt and placket are also uniformly decorated with three pure black ink lines, which seems to have a tacit understanding in the different personalities.

"Plums, looking at their outfits, they look like they are from the Warring States period." Ah Xia looked at the three (only) translucent remnant souls, and saw that they were still complaining to each other, and couldn't help but whisper to me: "I heard that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, at the beginning of the Warring States Period, the Mo family was very popular with the princes and doctors. ”

"Quite possibly!" I also very much agree with Ah Xia's judgment. Listening to these three teasing babbles, I was also pleased to find that we could understand most of their words - just now I was worried that I wouldn't understand their ancient language, but now with our ancient level, except for some modern discarded "Zhihu Ye", in fact, most of them can still be recognized (so the dialogues of the following three masters are basically translated). Very good, very good.

Thinking of this, I was too lazy to waste time, "cough cough" twice, cleared my throat, and also designated the middle-aged man with long sharp hair on the far right, and asked loudly: "You!" That's you! Tell me quickly, according to the current appearance on the jade plate, where does it lead after knocking on the door? "Why did you choose him, after all, I also made up my mind to start with the most cunning, and wanted to see what this group of craftsmen was capable of.

"Young people, when speaking to the elderly, be polite." Unexpectedly, the first person to talk was actually the old man with a childish face in the middle.

"Oh, if you want to ask us something, you have to give your name first!" Immediately after, the dark-skinned, muscular man also spoke.

"Hmph, by the way, why are we telling you?" In the end, the slender face that had squinted and observed us for a long time also added a sentence in a weird way.

The three of them seem to be casual with me one sentence at a time, according to the pronunciation of the ancient saying, there is a harmonious rhythm and frustration, and inadvertently has claimed to be a system with both offense and defense.

Luckily, we were prepared.

"That's right, you don't know all your life, of course you have the right to remain silent about my question, but everything you confess next will become evidence in court - Ah Xia! On the small real! After sneering, I was too lazy to talk nonsense, and immediately beckoned Ah Xia to use our killer move!

"Understood! Then! ”

As soon as Ah Xia's words fell, she also steadily threw Xiao Shi, who jumped back on her shoulder after returning to her soul, into the arms of the slender face who sneered at my question according to my explanation.

"What the hell!" That slender face is estimated to be a technical nerd.,Usually should be dealing with mechanical machinery.,I've never seen such a cute pet in my life.,When I saw the energetic little real fall into my arms and sell the cute,I was a little overwhelmed for a while.,It's hard to hold the lively little real in front of your chest.,Take a look.,I want to throw it away.。 It's just that it's too late -

"Is that the jade plate mechanism you designed?" As a test of the situation, I immediately asked a concise true/false question to test the effect.

"Yes! Oh, no, why should I answer you! Yes! After answering my question, the slender face instinctively wanted to regret it, and then when he realized the futility, he immediately became angry and threw himself at me. As soon as he told a lie, Xiao Shi on his body had already screamed like thunder - it was strange to say, the remnant soul with a thin face was aroused by the cry of the ghost monkey, and a few small pieces of debris were scattered, and as soon as it came into contact with the falling flowers under his feet, it turned into a short-lived spiritual light, and melted into the bleak underground.

“！” Seeing this scene, not only the thin and long face, but even the bearded man and the long-bearded old man next to him were all shocked.

Test successful!

"Next question, what are the two people next to you doing?" Seeing that the three of them had been intimidated by my methods, I continued to ask questions unhurriedly.

"I said, I said, the bearded guest was in charge of all the civil works in the mansion. The long beard is the ink artist who is responsible for the feng shui before the array. "Sure enough, the result of my guess is also eight or nine.

"Alright, next! Just you, bearded! Since you are the chief designer, tell me, how many areas is the mansion divided into? What kind of mechanisms are there? I thought about it, but I still picked the bearded guest, and motioned for Ah Xia to command Xiao Shi to jump on his shoulders - after all, understanding the internal structure of this huge manor courtyard is very helpful for us who need to break into it to save people.

"This! I don't know! Yes! Dahan wanted to be hard at first, but he was immediately shocked by the unpleasant scream of the ghost monkey Xiaoshi, and after holding on to it for twice as long as his thin face, he was also forced to raise the white flag.

"Say, I say! Little brother, listen up: this Zhuangzi is called Taoyuan Village, which is divided into five areas according to the five directions of heaven and earth, and the east is the sword forest, which is the place where the owner of the village practices swords and casts swords. To the south is the study, where the owner and his friends sing from time to time. To the west is the sunken fish pond and the Huansha Pavilion, which is the place where the owner and his wife enjoy the flowers and the moon. To the north is the Tingtai Annex, which is a guest room for entertaining VIPs. In the center is the sacrificial rooftop, whenever the blood moon rises, the owner of the village will come here to watch the stars, Bu Ji is fierce. ”

Well, I didn't expect that the owner of the village who saw the beginning and the end of the dragon would enjoy it, and planned this small villa to: take the oriental wood gas to dance the sword, lead the south to send affection, enjoy the moon with the beauty in the west wind, look at the North Sea and drink with friends, and there is really a kind of noble and proud shore of the born person.

Thinking of this, I also asked the last person: "Then when you deploy the feng shui array, how do you make that weird and strange wind?" ”

The long-bearded man is the oldest, and his experience is richer than the other two, so naturally he won't suffer the same loss as they do, and when he asked him, he simply gave an answer that we should have thought of a long time ago-

"This is not simple, introduce the water of the Styx River of Santu River into the ditch and store it in the rockery cave, which can naturally drive the feng shui in the house, blow up the wind of breaking the intestines, and set off the fog of extinguishing the law. After listening to his explanation, I also remembered that in this way, the spells of Jin Siniang and the others were indeed inexplicably defeated after coming into contact with the strange wind, and they really deserved to be a magic breaking formation.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but put forward the most urgent question in my heart so far:

"After talking for a long time, who is your master?"

"This—I don't dare to say, Beard, here you come!" The slender face said, and he had already handed the little real who jumped on him to the big man.

"I don't say it! Let's ask Elder Longbeard! The bearded man also understood people, and he immediately threw Xiao Shi to the long-bearded old man, and he jumped to the side.

“……”

The long-bearded old man saw that the panicked two people were busy kicking the ball to him, and he was helpless to take the hot potato, and just wanted to speak, he suddenly had a plan, and immediately raised his hands to grab Xiao Shi, wanting to throw it off his body.

"Bearded old man, please listen to the question!" Seeing that he didn't dare to answer, and wanted to get rid of Xiao Shi, I also realized that something was wrong, so I hurriedly opened my mouth to drink the long-bearded master, and without waiting for him to speak, I had already thrown out a series of questions like a cannon: "How can I open the door safely without triggering the strange wind and ghost fog?" How does the code on the jade plate correspond to each region? And how can we get out of here and return to the earth? ”

"This-" Hearing this, the long-bearded old man's face was also slightly distorted, looking at Xiao Shi, who was staring at him, he thought about it again and again, and finally softened.

"Okay, I said."
