44. Unexpected
Listening to Old Man Qin's narration, Wu Guan was also very emotional.
He didn't expect that this book would be related to the decline of a family.
And this Qin family turned out to be a big family in Qinyang Town, although it was not as good as the Yang family, but at least it was prosperous.
The place where they live is also near Qin Laohan's house.
Now only the ruins are left, and through the remains of the above-ground buildings, you can still get a glimpse of the original scenery of the family.
But there was one thing that Lu Wu expected, that is, the decline of the Qin family had nothing to do with the Yang family.
Since the generation of Old Man Qin, the people of the clan have been superstitious about a legend.
No one remembers where this legend came from, but it has survived by word of mouth from generation to generation.
According to the legend, the treasure of the Qin family is buried in the Alang Mountain Range, and as long as you can find it, you can obtain an inexhaustible treasure.
The content of the legend is two lines of poetry, and it is said that the address of the buried treasure is hidden in these two sentences.
The sunset is sprinkled with moonlight, and the golden rooster is singing independently.
If you want to understand the subtleties, you have to come in the middle of the night.
Lu Wu muttered these four sentences in his mouth, and soon discovered a problem.
Looking up at Old Man Qin, Lu Wu could see from his eyes that he should have seen the problem.
"These two verses... It seems like a contradiction! Wu Guan asked.
Lu Wu nodded, it was indeed like this.
The first sentence is obviously talking about the time, the sun sets, the moon rises, and it is about eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
The second sentence is about the location, and there is indeed a place called Jinji Peak near Qinyang Town.
The problem is the content of the last paragraph, which is very clear, and it will be done in the middle of the night.
But eight or nine o'clock in the evening and two or three o'clock in the morning are exactly two o'clock.
It is impossible for the times to overlap, and the time of sunset, although inaccurate, will never be in the middle of the night.
Then there must be something more hidden behind these two verses.
It's just that these are not within Lu Wu's consideration for the time being, and his primary purpose now is to understand the content of this book first.
In the dark, Lu Wu felt that the content in this book had a great relationship with the war two hundred years ago.
After asking a few more innocuous questions, it was finally determined that Old Man Qin really didn't know the meaning of these words.
Lu Wu left some gold to spend with his grandfather and grandson, and then returned to the county government with Wu Guan.
........
The queue to collect books at the gate of the county government is endless, and it seems that it will not be long before the ancient books of the entire Qinyang Town will gather in the county office.
Lu Wu walked through the lobby to the backyard, where all kinds of ancient books were piled up.
Although there are a lot of them, most of the content is after the break, and most of the content is about the Yang family.
After all, more than half of the people in this town are surnamed Yang, and it can be said that this town belongs to them.
Lu Wu sat in the room, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said:
"Who are the old people in the Yang family?"
"The original Dayang family has gone through countless separations, so there are no people like too specific patriarchs now!" Wu Guanluo sighed and continued: "However, the Yang family ancestral hall supports an ancestor of the Yang family, and he is more than one hundred and twenty years old this year!" ”
"He's also the oldest person in the county."
"One hundred and two?" Lu Wu was a little surprised.
The average age of people here is not too big, and seventy years old is already considered a long-lived person.
As far as Lu Wu knew, the eldest person in the Fu Kingdom only lived to be 107 years old.
That's already a record.
"How is this old man still in good health?"
"I went to visit once last year, and I was already lying in bed and couldn't stand up, and my ears were a little back, but there was no big problem with communication!"
Wu Guan continued: "The Yang Family Ancestral Hall is not far from here, if you go over now, you can reach it in about ten minutes!" ”
"Lead the way." Lu Wu took the lead and walked out.
These things must be investigated clearly, but everything related to the Great War two hundred years ago is extremely attentive to Lu Wudu.
.......
After walking east for about ten minutes, the two came to a quiet alley.
This alley is very wide, there are no shops on either side, and the houses are arranged very neatly, which is a stark contrast to the Qin family's residence.
Next to the road are two neat rows of willow trees, each of which is spaced about three meters apart, and it looks like it was measured when it was planted.
At this time, it was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining.
But the light of the alley is not too good, and the shade of the willow trees makes it even more gloomy.
Taking one step, Lu Wu only felt a chill in his back, and his spiritual power began to flow non-stop.
Looking at Wu Guan beside him, as usual, there was nothing wrong with him.
The two walked to the center of the alley and stood at the door of the Yang ancestral hall.
The tall threshold, and above the head is a large plaque with two large gilded characters written on it, Yang's.
Just standing at the door, you can feel the enormity of the Yang family.
The two walked into the ancestral hall and found the old man Yang Zhong in a room on the east side of the main hall.
The old man was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and his old face was full of the marks of time.
The motionless appearance gives people a feeling of not knowing life and death.
Next to the old man stood a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be taking care of Yang Zhong.
The woman obviously knew Wu Guan,
After experiencing the surprise of just entering the door, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Master, are you here like this?"
Lu Wu looked at this scene with satisfaction.
If he went to find Old Man Qin alone or came to the Yang Ancestral Hall, he would inevitably have to go through some trouble.
But if you follow Wu Guan by your side, then a lot of troubles will be solved.
I have to say that this apprentice can still accept it.
"When this is done, it's time to teach him something." Lu Wu thought in his heart.
Wu Guan nodded slightly, he was not a fool, and naturally saw the satisfaction flashing in his master's eyes.
This made him suddenly overjoyed and in a good mood:
"This official has some things that he wants to ask Mr. Yang Zhong for, I wonder how his old man's health is now?"
After all, Yang Zhong is the oldest old man in the Yang clan.
Although this clan has been separated countless times, it still has a lot of energy after all.
To give Yang Zhong face is to give Yang family face.
In this part of dealing with people, Wu Guan naturally has a good grasp of it.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to get to where he is today.
"The old man's body is fine, but he just fell asleep for a long time, why don't I wake him up?"
"No need." Lu Wuxian spoke:
"We'll just hang around the ancestral hall and wait until he wakes up and calls us."
A 120-year-old man, that's really setting a record for every extra second he lives.
For Lu Wu, it is best not to disturb nature.
