Chapter 86: Exploring the Ancient Mansion at Night

The tenant answered, opened the door, took it, closed the door again, and took off the hat from his head, revealing a small and handsome face.

She tried the tea with a silver needle, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "It seems that there are indeed people who are convinced that the Chang family has treasures!" Nangong He, do you guess they are the people of the Great Compassion Pavilion? ”

Another tenant groaned for a long time and said, "Very likely! And so far, they probably haven't found the treasure map! ”

It turned out that these two people turned out to be Gu Zhenbei and Nangong He, who galloped all the way from Nanyang Kingdom!

Hearing this, Zhen Bei nodded and said, "That's true." It's just that out of thin air, there are many people with the same goal, and we need to act more cautiously. ”

Nangong He said in a deep voice: "In recent days, there have been people wandering around Chang's house, presumably secretly monitors, I have asked the secret guards to evacuate this place, so as not to be discovered by the other party and startle the snake!" ”

Zhen Bei thought of the conversation between the two downstairs and sighed: "That Chang family must have become an empty house now. Hurry up and eat, we are new to the place, we need to act early, before they arrive, find a place to hide! ”

Nangong He said while putting vegetables in her bowl: "Wait a while, you stay here, I'll go and explore the truth first, and then decide how to act!" ”

Zhenbei swallowed the food in her mouth, this time she didn't refuse, and said softly: "Okay, you be careful!" ”

Nangong He returned to the inn at dusk.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Zhenbei finally fell back into her stomach: "How is it, how is the situation?" ”

Nangong He told her about the scene of the Chang family in detail.

Zhen Bei kept drawing on the paper, and after a while, a detailed layout map appeared on it.

Nangong He picked it up and looked at it, took her pen, and added a few more strokes to the paper: "There is a well in this place, and there is still a narrow door here......

Zhenbei pointed to one of them and said, "We'll hide here, waiting for them to appear!" ”

When it was dark, the two were already standing on the wall of Chang's courtyard.

The mysterious person who was originally guarding near Chang's house, for some reason, has been evacuated.

Nangong He confirmed that no one was hiding in the shadows, and Fang came over with Zhenbei so unabashedly.

The Chang family's mansion has obviously been built for some years, and you can understand it just by looking at the mottled walls and a few stout trees in the courtyard.

Zhenbei looked at this ancient courtyard and thought of the misfortune that had befallen its owner, and couldn't help but feel compassion.

If it weren't for the sudden change, maybe her mother, Luo Yihan, would be the hostess here, so with her mother's intelligence and resourcefulness, would she have escaped this catastrophe all year round?

This ancient courtyard that has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, will it be a warm and joyful scene of husband and wife, children and daughters, and fathers and mothers?

Zhen Bei was thinking about it, when she heard Nangong He say in a low voice: "Before they come, let's go in and take a walk." ”

Zhen Bei bowed her head lightly and said, "Okay." ”

The courtyard of Chang's house is divided into two floors, the owner's living room is in the inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard has a few guest rooms, as well as a spacious living room and a practice room that has spent some of the master's thoughts.

The outer courtyard surrounds the inner courtyard in a whole circle, and in the north place, there is another ** solemn house, which is particularly attention-grabbing, but it is an ancestral hall for the ancestors of the Chang family!

The whole courtyard has obviously been swept countless times, the tables and chairs are tilted and turned sideways, the porcelain is shattered, the books in the study have been removed, the ground and walls have been chiseled, and each side room is also a decadent and desolate scene.

Zhenbei carefully observed the room next to each other, and when she walked through the inner courtyard and stood in front of the iron gate that led to the outer courtyard, a song suddenly came to mind.

"Pretty girl, don't worry, pick up beans in the moonlight; One, two, joyfully pick up a full pocket; Jumping and jumping back, the big heel fell under her feet, and Niu Niu was so angry that she screamed, oops, you naughty bean! Looking at it, the golden little beanie nodded under the osmanthus tree - up and down, left and right, three, six, five, seven, nine! ”

In the last life, when Zhen Bei was still a baby, Luo Yihan would often hum this song and coax her to sleep.

On several occasions, when she saw her mother humming this song, she would burst into tears, which made her frightened.

She didn't want to see her mother sad, so she offered to sleep alone, and since then, she has never heard this song again.

Seeing the osmanthus tree in the moonlight, this song, which had been forgotten, was remembered again.

Although the father in the previous life was not a good person, he never owed his mother in terms of material supply, even if the two of them lived in Zhuangzi for a long time, Lin Zhengnan would also send some to his mother whenever there were new delicious and interesting things in the house.

Mother and him have no deep feelings, it seems that the only thing that connects the two of them in the world is Lin Yunyin's daughter, if she wants to say that her mother will shed tears for her father, she will never believe it!

In this world, the only person who can make her mother show that heartbroken look is Chang Lancang, who makes her pour out all her feelings!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhen Bei's mind, and she walked briskly towards the osmanthus tree: "I know where the secret of this Chang family is!" ”

Nangong He was slightly stunned, and saw Zhenbei in that small open space, striding strangely back and forth, left and right.

When she finally stopped, she looked around, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Pretty girl? By the way, the other party is a doll, so the steps should naturally be smaller! ”

This time she walked straight in one direction, Nangong He hurriedly followed, and saw her bypass the thick osmanthus tree and come to the ancestral hall.

"What's wrong here?" Nangong He asked.

Zhen Bei said: "Judging from the direction where I just stood, there is a big problem with the design of this Chang family courtyard, and the permanent owner who built this courtyard deliberately laid out 'Dou Sansha' here!" There is a saying that to get rich, you have to fight three evils! If you win the fight, you will rise and fall, and if you lose the fight, you will go home! can set up such a grand situation, so from this point of view, the Chang family is indeed a big problem! It's a pity that the descendants of the Chang family did not understand the meaning of the ancestors, and privately changed a pattern, which inadvertently increased the evil spirit, resulting in the Chang family's wealth not being developed, but causing the disaster of annihilation! This is the eye of the Pisces sucking array, and normally speaking, there should be some extremely valuable things to suppress the array! ”

Nangong He understood that the most valuable thing in this Changfu was naturally the treasure map that opened the key to the Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain!

At this time, in the ancestral hall, the sacrificial plaque had already been trampled into pieces.

Suddenly, Zhenbei's eyes fell on the wall on one side of the altar, where a bronze platform with candles hung about a foot above the ground.

The other end of the bronze platform is inlaid into the wall, which is obviously an old thing that existed when the courtyard was built!

And, because of its special location, there is almost no reason to deliberately climb high and ignite it, but will the owner use such an extreme method to fix such a superfluous thing firmly here?

Zhen Bei secretly said a few times in her heart, "offended, offended", and asked Nangong He to move over the altar, she stepped on it, stretched out her hand to try the copper platform, and there was a raised bead at the bottom of the copper platform, and she pressed it tentatively.

After a slight grinding sound, the stones on the ground shifted to one side, and a hole that extended inward appeared in front of me.

Zhen Bei and Nangong He looked at each other excitedly: "That's the case!" ”

Zhen Bei took out a night pearl from her bosom, held the pearl and looked inside, only to see several steps, zigzag and spread down.

She picked up a broken wooden sign and threw it towards the steps, only to hear the sound of "da, da, da" dozens of times, and then there was no movement.

After making sure that there were no traps, the two of them walked slowly inside, one after the other.

Descend the stairs and enter a basement of about 20 square meters.

To their surprise and disappointment, it was empty, and there was nothing but an empty box that had been opened.

Nangong He looked at the wooden box, his face changed slightly, and said, "Someone has come in this place recently!" ”

Taking advantage of the halo of the night pearl, Zhen Bei leaned closer, flicked her fingers lightly, and said, "It seems that we are not the only ones who have discovered this place!" Could that person be Chang Lancang? ”

Nangong He shook his head and said, "It's not like, with this Chang Lancang's light skill, you must not be able to step on the dust without a trace!" ”

Zhen Bei mentioned it by him, and Fang suddenly remembered that no one had been here for nearly a hundred years, and the ground had already been covered with a thick layer of dust, however, they walked all the way, but they didn't notice the footprints of that person.

This is naturally impossible!

A looming drag mark on the ground indicates that the other party is just a person with extremely high light skills!

Zhen Bei's heart was shocked beyond words, she was able to discover this secret this time, it was pure luck, because of the borrowing of that nursery rhyme, and if the other party was not the dead Chang Lancang, I am afraid that her attainments in breaking the formation would be far above her!

There is a secret hiding a friend or foe who is also familiar with the affairs of the Chang family, has extremely high martial arts, and is proficient in occult arts, and this matter seems to have become more and more tricky!

Nangong He sighed lightly and said, "Those people may have already arrived, it is not easy to stay here for a long time, let's go up and talk about it first!" ”

Zhen Bei glanced around, unsure if it was her own dazzle, only to see a faint white light flashing from the northwest corner.

She lifted the bead and walked there.

At this moment, the sound of stone slabs moving above the basement was heard again, followed by an old voice.

"Pavilion master, the subordinates of this place have searched hundreds of times, but they have never found anything different, you only need to take a look at it at random, and you can find the clues, which really makes the subordinates feel deeply ashamed!"

Then another woman's voice said, "That's nature! Our pavilion master Wen Taowu is not comparable, how can you compare with Old Man Qi! ”

"That's it, that's it, it's not that I Xing Laosan boasted, there is only one pavilion master in this world who can admire me from the bottom of my heart!"

There are also a few people who are not willing to lag behind and chase after them.

Suddenly, I heard a cold and hoarse voice, "Okay, shut up!" ”

The noise stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell silent instantly!

The man said, "Let's go down and have a look!" ”

His voice is sometimes high and low, making it difficult to distinguish between men and women, old and young.
