Chapter Ninety-Five: Building A and Building B
Wei Chiran asked, "Is Su Li an architect?" Why did he draw architectural drawings? ”
"He's a craftsman, but that's all I know. ”
At that time, because of the special nature of the Diming Building, and the fact that the Diming Building was a closed building, the people of the Iron Cloak Gate could not sneak in to find it, until Xiang Jingtian disappeared and Xiang Jingdi began to hire people to investigate, and the Tie Yi Gate sent a group of disciples to disguise themselves as investigators and be hired to enter the Di Ming Tower to investigate.
Suo Ning said: "Not counting my parents, a total of 10 people were sent in by the Iron Clothes Gate, but they were all missing. ”
Wei Chiran immediately understood: "It turns out that in the 10 years from 1968 to 1978, 10 of the 26 people who disappeared were from your iron coat. ”
Suo Ning said: "Yes, that's right. ”
Wei Chiran remembered his previous speculation at this time, and his speculation seemed to be right, some of the people in that group did have problems, but Xiang Jingdi definitely didn't know that there were 10 people from the Iron Sect among the 26 people, so the people he wanted to hide should be hidden among the remaining 16 people.
The clues provided by Suo Ning narrowed the range of people.
Suo Ning also informed Wei Chiran that in the next few years, because of the intervention of the police department of country T, the Iron Cloak Gate could no longer send disciples into the Diming Tower, so he had to wait for the opportunity.
Tieyimen has been staring at the Xiang family, and during this period, he also tried to send someone to sneak into the Diming Tower, but unfortunately they couldn't open the door, and if they opened it by violent means, it would alarm the police, so they could only continue to wait for the opportunity.
10 years ago, Suo Ning's parents, Suo Changming and Zhong Fang, received an order to find an opportunity to enter Xiang's house to see feng shui and met Xiang Jin.
Hearing the names of Suo Ning's parents, Wei Chi subconsciously said, "You and Zhong Shan are half-brothers and sisters?" ”
Suo Ning said: "Yes, my mother remarried my father, and gave birth to my brother before she remarried, but my parents are the sixteenth sons of Taishan Hall of the Iron Cloth Gate. ”
The Iron Cloak Gate is divided into three halls from top to bottom, and the one in charge is the secret hall, which is composed of four Dharma practitioners; The second level is the Yuan Fu Hall, which is composed of eight demon slaying venerables, and then there is the Taishan Hall, and there are 16 leaders in the Taishan Hall, known as the Sixteen Sons of the Demon Suppression.
The reason why there is such a composition is because Tieyimen believes that the demon is above the demon, so it is not difficult to see from this division why the Yuan Fu Hall is above the Taishan Hall.
Since ancient times, the general task has been performed by Taishan Hall, and the demons that cannot be dealt with are handed over to Yuan Fu Tang, but it is rumored that for thousands of years, the four Dharma masters in the secret hall have never made a move, in other words, it seems that no matter how strong the demons in the world are, there is no need for the four of them to make a move, as long as Yuan Fu Tang comes forward, they can deal with it.
The 10 disciples that the Tieyi Sect once sent to Diming Tower were also carefully selected, and their martial arts abilities were all above the other disciples, and they belonged to the leaders under the command of the sixteen sons of Taishan Hall, but these people were all missing, and under the premise that there was no way, they could only choose Suo Changming and Zhong Fang from the sixteen sons to carry out the task.
Their mission is not only to find out the whereabouts of the secret armor, but also to find out why the 10 disciples are missing.
After Suo Changming and Zhong Fang met Xiang Jin, their skills were quickly recognized, and Xiang Jin also found an opportunity to inform the two of them about the matter of Diminglou, hoping that the two could come forward to investigate, which was exactly what they wanted.
So, after Suo Changming and Zhong Fang informed their daughter Suo Ning, they stepped into the Diming Tower, who knew that they would never return, and the final result would be missing.
At that time, Suo Ning was still young and was not an official disciple, so he could not find out the truth about his parents' disappearance, but in the past ten years, Suo Ning studied hard, not only becoming a teacher at Chinatown University, but also an elite disciple under the command of Taishan Hall of the Iron Cloth Gate.
When Wei Chiran heard this, something suddenly came to his mind, and he asked, "Teacher Suo, when your parents entered the Diming Tower, Gui Geng?" ”
Suo Ning said: "My father was 54 years old and my mother was 52 years old. ”
Wei Chiran asked again: "I would like to ask, how old are you this year?" ”
Suo Ning hesitated and said, "I'm 36 this year. ”
36 years old? Wei Chiran looked Suo Ning up and down, no matter how he looked at the woman in front of him, she was only about 25 years old.
In this way, the woman who spoke was definitely not Suo Ning's mother Zhong Fang, it should be Suni sent by the police department, but Suni was 25 years old when she disappeared, 37 years ago, and it stands to reason that she is already an old man who is over the age of six, but why is the voice still so young?
Suo Ning saw Wei Chiran's doubts, and said calmly: "I used a method to let my youth temporarily stagnate. ”
Wei Chiran was surprised: "Huh? ”
Suo Ning said: "For thousands of years, the Iron Cloak Gate has subdued demons and subdued demons, and has also obtained and sealed a lot of evil arts, and what I am using now is one of them, which can lock people's youth at a certain age, which is why there is an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine in my house." ”
Wei Chiran wondered: "Why do you want to do this?" ”
Suo Ning shook his head and said: "Before I was 26 years old, I could be said to be a foolish person, until my parents disappeared, I suddenly woke up, I know very well that as people grow older, their bodies will change, their minds will become sluggish, their physical fitness will decline, and I need time to improve myself, so I secretly found that kind of evil magic, and I can use that method to make my body stay at 26 years old, but this method has great side effects, only ten years, that is, if this year, I can't find out the truth about my parents' disappearance, and I will become an old woman with gray hair in an instant. ”
Wei Chiran shook his head and said, "This method is not worth the cost, you don't need to do it at all." ”
Suo Ning shook his head and said: "I said, ten years ago, I was a fool, I didn't even understand a lot of common sense things, I had to buy myself ten years of precious time, if the body does not stop at 26 years old, today's people, even if their minds are full of knowledge, do not have the energy and physical strength to enter the Diming Tower, you are still young, you can't understand." ”
Of course, Wei Chiran couldn't understand, in his eyes, isn't a 36-year-old person in the prime of life? But he didn't know that as far as women are concerned, 36 years old in normal society and 36 years old in a different way are completely different concepts.
Suo Ning said: "Since you have also come down, I will also tell you all the concealment, then the next stage is our exploration." ”
After rediscovering the third floor, the two went down to the second floor and then to the first floor.
In the room on the first floor where Suo Ning had discovered something strange, the two were surprised to find that there was also a pothole, a pit that had obviously been smashed open.
The two people standing in front of the pit looked puzzled, what was going on? Why is there another pit here? And the appearance and size of this pit are obviously different from the one they smashed open, that is to say, the Diming Tower they are in is indeed not the original building, but another one.
Wei Chiran looked at the hole, while Suo Ning took out a notebook and pen and drew there, and then handed the drawn picture to Wei Chiran and said, "Look, my analysis should be like this." ”
The notebook drew two buildings connected up and down, Suo Ning pointed to the one above and said: "This is the Diming Building where we live, let's call it Building A, under this Diming Building is the building we are in now, we call it Building B, then the first floor of Building A should be connected with the third floor of Building B." ”
Wei Chiran shook his head and said: "No, it shouldn't be like this, if it is really connected, then we can go down or go back, but you can also see that the ceiling was intact when we were on the third floor before." ”
Suo Ning didn't say anything, just closed the notebook and looked thoughtful.
Suo Ning's performance let Wei Chiran know that she must know something, but she didn't want to say it.
Why are you reluctant to speak out?
There are only two reasons, first, Suo Ning came here to explore the truth, not only to find the secret armor and parents, but also other reasons that cannot be said to Wei Chiran; Second, what Suo Ning knew was related to the secrets of the Iron Cloak Gate, and she didn't dare to be honest with Wei Chi.
Suo Ning said: "This place is so weird, we will find a way to investigate it again, but, I think, we should take turns to act and maintain our physical strength and energy." ”
The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, but agreed: "I'll stay and study this hole first, and you can go and explore other places." ”
Suo Ning got up to leave, and Wei Chiran immediately followed quietly.
Because Suo Ning's proposal was too strange, in this kind of place, it was far safer for the two of them to act together than alone, and the reason why she said this must be because she had something to do alone without telling Wei Chi.
But the place where Suo Ning went was the gate on the first floor, and she stood at the door, studying the door.
Wei Chiran stood in the dark in the corner of the corridor and stared, he saw this scene and suddenly thought, if there is a gate in Building B, then what is outside the gate?
After fiddling with it for a while, Suo Ning opened the door with ease.
With the light source at the door, Wei Chiran also saw a surprised expression on Suo Ning's face, which meant that she was also surprised that she could easily open the door.
Suo Ning opened the door, but did not open it completely, just opened a slit and looked outside, looked at it for a while, and then looked back again, confirming that Wei Chiran did not follow, and then opened the door completely.
At this time, Wei Chiran also found that the scene outside the door was the same as outside the door of the first building, except for the wall, which was the gate outside.
Suo Ning stood in the doorway, hesitated, never stepped out, and finally closed the door.
This made Wei Chi realize that she was coming back, so he immediately turned around and returned to the previous room, deliberately pretending to crouch in front of the hole to study.
Suo Ning stood behind Wei Chiran, just looked at him, hesitating, whether to say what was in his heart.
And Wei Chiran also pretended not to know that she was behind her, still staring at the hole, giving her time to think.
If Suo Ning didn't take the initiative to say about the gate, Wei Chiran would also pretend to think of it suddenly, and then bring it up.
Finally, Suo Ning stepped forward and squatted down and said, "I went to the corridor just now and saw the door on the first floor. ”
Wei Chiran deliberately wondered: "Huh? Building B also has a gate to the outside? ”
Suo Ning said: "Yes, there are, you say, what is outside the gate of Building B?" ”
Wei Chiran deliberately thought about it and said, "Then you have to open it and take a look, right?" ”
Suo Ning was silent, just nodded silently.
Wei Chiran deliberately asked again: "The first building we live in can't be opened from the inside, this second building looks the same as the first building, maybe the door can't be opened, right?" ”
Suo Ning said, "I don't know, why don't we try?" ”
