Chapter 32, The Lonely Man
Tang Yao and Fang Chao made amazing discoveries through drone shooting and on-site investigation.
The layout of the old house of the Zhang family from a high place is presented as the word "fire", among which the more famous glass building is located on the left side of the word "fire", but the two people soon found that the word "fire" is missing the point on the right.
The Zhang family was also a local gentry a hundred years ago, even if the family is not rich in the world, there is no shortage of money, and someone designed the layout of the Zhang family's old house, since the layout has been designed into the word "fire", and also spent a huge amount of money to build a small glass building, but why did not the right point also be built.
The ancient masters of excellence did not make the mistake of designing a little less.
Tang Yao analyzed, there are three possibilities, the first is that the Zhang family has spent a lot of money in order to build a small glass building, maybe there is a problem with the budget, so the tiger and snake tail did not make the right point in the end, the second possibility is that they guessed wrong from the beginning, the Zhang family did not design the layout of the word "fire" at all, everything is just the conjecture of the two of them.
But Fang Chao quickly put forward different opinions, first, the Zhang family has been doing business for generations, and which of the people who did business and could make so much money in ancient times was not shrewd and capable, how could there be such a big budget vacancy, so the first possibility is not valid.
As for the second one, it is indeed possible that the two of them guessed wrongly, but combined with the fact that the Reincarnation Society sent people to search for obsidian, the ancient Zhang family must have something to do with obsidian, and it is not even ruled out that the ancient Zhang family has always collected obsidian, and regarded obsidian as the treasure of the family, so the family's mansion was designed with the layout of the word "fire", so the second possibility may not be true.
"Then there's only a third possibility." Tang Yao thought about it and said.
"I know what you mean, the reason why the word 'fire' is missing the right point is not that there was a mistake in the design, nor is it that the budget is insufficient, but it is deliberately hidden, it is very likely to be the place where the Zhang family hides treasures, in order to prevent being seen, and just now when I investigated the field, I also found that there is a vacant land on the right side of the Zhang family's old house is very abrupt, although it does not occupy a large area, but it makes me feel strange, there are no flowers and plants planted in the vacant land, nor are there sculptures and other things, it is very abnormal to be so empty." Fang Chao answered.
"Let's go there."
Without further ado, the two of them hurriedly walked towards the open space at the mouth of the nest, and when they arrived at the place, they saw that there was a vacant land where there was nothing, and after observation, the two of them did not find any traces of movement, that is to say, there were never things piled up here, and the ground was leveled and plants were never turned over.
"This place is so weird, I guess it's boring, but I can't see it, let's look separately and see if there's a mechanism or something." Fang Chao said as he lowered his head and searched carefully.
Tang Yao looked at the cloudy sky, seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself: "The east corner of the old mansion, isn't this the east corner of the old mansion, the sun and the yin alternate, and the secret treasure can be seen, that is to say, not only to find the right place, but also to cooperate with the time of day to find the treasure, I know, Fang Chao, I know." ”
Fang Chao raised his head when he heard the voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"We did find the right place, but we came at the wrong time, let me ask you, what time does the alternation of sun and yin generally refer to?" Tang Yao asked.
Fang Chao was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "It should be sunrise or evening when the sun goes down, hey, I know what you mean, you mean the message left on the silk cloth, right, this 'fire' word is missing the point on the right, it is actually the east corner of the Zhang family's old mansion, we have to come here at sunrise or sunset to find the secret." ”
"Yes, that's what I meant, but I won't be able to find the secret treasure in half an hour, how can we save people?" After one problem is solved, a new problem arises.
"What else can I do, I can only tell the truth to the black bat, and I'll see you when the time comes." Fang Chao also said helplessly.
The black bats waiting in the garden seemed to be a little impatient, and their eyes kept scanning the old man's neck back and forth, and then their eyes fell on Sanyu, who was looking up at the thunder passing in the sky.
"You're a worm girl?" The Black Bat asked.
The black bat jumped like thunder as if he had been humiliated, grabbed the old man's neck and shouted: "I'll talk to you, you're deaf, beware that I kill this old guy." ”
"I generally don't dislike other people's ugliness, but if the heart is uglier than the outside, I hate it, so I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, please keep your mouth shut, as soon as you open your mouth, you feel that the air smells bad." Sanyu didn't even lower her head, and went back directly.
The black bat was even more angry, and almost crushed the old man's neck directly, but fortunately, at this time, Tang Yao and Fang Chao rushed back, and the black bat temporarily stopped when he saw this.
"How's it going, did you find the Obsidian?" The Black Bats asked coldly.
When the black bat heard that he had to wait until sunset or sunrise to find the Vault, he was furious and shouted, "You two stinky boys really think I'm so easy to deceive, do you think I'll believe this kind of nonsense, it seems that I want to bleed this old man, and you know how good I am." ”
While speaking, the nails of the black bat pierced directly into the old man's neck, fortunately, the stab was not deep, although there was blood coming out, it was not very much, Tang Yao and Fang Chao didn't know what to do at this time, to tell the truth, people didn't believe it, but they couldn't see the Zhang family's secret collection in time.
The old man's life was almost hanging by a thread, Tang Yao could only think about how to save people, but when he dealt with the old spider before, he had exhausted his physical strength, and his pupils were afraid that he would not be able to open them, and the nest had also run out of tools, and neither of them knew how to use illusions, and now it was almost to the point of exhaustion.
He couldn't help but glance back at Sanxiao, who also seemed to feel his gaze, lowered his head, and the two of them looked at each other, and then Sanyu asked with a smile: "Are you going to beg me?" ”
Tang Yao glanced at the old man lying on the ground, he once regarded his dignity higher than everything else, for a child who had been bullied since he was a child and grew up with countless ridicules, Tang Yao firmly protected his dignity.
Because if he doesn't even have dignity, then he really has nothing.
But after all, there is a human life in front of him, and his dignity is important, but he can still distinguish which is more important than human life.
The young man who clenched his fists slowly opened his mouth, lowered his head a little at Sanyu and said, "I...... I...... Seeking ......"
Just as the word "ask" was about to blurt out, a figure slowly walked into the garden.
Thunder swept across the sky, dark clouds obscured all the light between heaven and earth, and the cold wind seemed to penetrate everyone's bones.
But the moment this figure appeared, even the most terrible roar of thunder could not make people tremble; Even if the clouds covered the whole sky, it was not as dark as the man in front of him; Even if the wind could freeze everyone's bones, it wouldn't be as cold as this person.
Dressed in black, with a strange narrow and long weapon, the young boy seemed to be able to freeze the ground under his feet by an inch with every step.
Lips as thin as a blade, a thin and pale face, and a face without a hint of a smile as if wearing a mask.
"Song Shun, why are you here?" Fang Chao, who recognized the identity of the teenager, asked in surprise.
The person who came was Song Shun, who had passed the interview in the Hall of Bones before, and now successfully joined the Hall of Bones as an intern, and in the interview of the Hall of Bones, he was the only one of the three who was alone from beginning to end.
Song Shun walked in front of everyone, stopped and said, "I happened to be running errands in the old city, and I received a call from the company asking me to come here for reinforcements. ”
After speaking, he looked at the black bat who was holding the old man hostage, and a cold look swept over, and the black bat's face actually changed greatly and trembled slightly.
"He took the old man hostage, and now we can't do anything about him, do you have a way to subdue him?" Tang Yao hurriedly asked.
Song Shun glanced at Tang Yao, didn't answer Tang Yao's words at all, and walked straight towards the black bat with the strangely shaped weapon in his hand.
"What are you doing, he has a hostage." Fang Chao hurriedly shouted.
Song Shun turned a deaf ear and still went his own way, while the black bat on the opposite side seemed to be more and more frightened, and said with a frightened expression: "Is your weapon a legendary Jiaosha?" What about your identity...... You are the son of Shun of the inner gate of the Song clan of the Legalist family. ”
