Chapter 32: Honor Roll (1)
Wang Yuanba said with a smile: "When you get to my four-story building, you don't have to be too restricted, come and sit under the tree here, it's cool here, by the way, these are my four-story students, that is, our seniors." ”
There are only six students on these four floors, and this year's enrollment is still duck eggs.
At this time, the "beggar" took the initiative to step forward, he smiled, touched Gu Heyang and Qi Hao's shoulders with his filthy hands, and first praised: "One is as angry as a mountain, and the other is as deep as a pool, both are heroes and teenagers." It's a pity that being born in fire and water is the fate of Yingchao, and wherever you go, there will be rivers of blood and bones all over the field! Saying that, the "beggar" pinched the wrists of the two, and his face changed in an instant, "What! Impossible! It's really weird, how can this be? ”
The "beggar" retracted his hand and said to himself, "Did I miscalculate?" As soon as the words fell, he pointed to the towering glass pagoda of the Millennium Temple in the distance, and suddenly his face changed, and he said in horror: "The tower is like a giant tree, and the scorching sun is blazing!" It will burn! It will be destroyed! As he spoke, he seemed to be very frightened, and ran back to the hut in a frenzy, and kept calling, "Fire and water are intolerable!" Fire and water are intolerable! ”
A series of inexplicable and wonderful behaviors of the "beggar" made the whole atmosphere of the scene seem a little embarrassing.
Wang Yuanba had a look that he had long been accustomed to, and said: "His name is Sai Lego, and it wasn't like this before, but for some reason, he started to go crazy half a year ago." ”
Qi Hao glanced at the tall tower in the distance and asked, "He just said that this glazed tower is going to catch fire?" Can he really see anything? ”
The glazed pagoda is the tallest building in Kyoto, usually not to mention the tower, even the tower courtyard is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter, after all, each layer of the glazed pagoda is stored with exquisite gilded Buddha statues, Buddhist paintings, ritual vessels, these things are priceless, so the temple has very strict requirements for fire prevention work, and the daily lamps and candles are guarded by special monks. If this pagoda catches fire, it is not easy to be afraid.
Wang Yuanba smiled and said: "He's just talking crazy, don't pay attention to him, didn't you say that you were in a hurry to find me, but I don't know why?" ”
Qi Hao told Wang Yuanba about what happened in Liu Shangshu's house last night, and asked him to take a look at the feng shui problems in this Shangshu mansion.
Wang Yuanba pondered for a moment, a little hesitant. He asked: "The feng shui in Liu Shangshu's house was indeed arranged by me back then, so it stands to reason that there should be no problem." ”
"In fact, when we came to visit today, we asked Lou Chang Wang to see if there is any connection between these mansions that have been hit by lightning and fire, and their feng shui bureau settings? I heard that the homes of the ministers who were on fire also paid great attention to the feng shui pattern, and ......" Qi Hao paused, "It is all feng shui arranged by Wang Lou Chang himself, if there is no problem with feng shui, why did they all suffer lightning strikes?" Students thought it was not just a coincidence. ”
Qi Hao believes that all the coincidences in the world have some kind of internal connection, and these connections are the key to solving all mysteries. Since thunder and fire are heavenly visions, it is better to start with the most mysterious feng shui and see what different information can be obtained.
Wang Yuanba was stunned for a moment, and said with a dumb smile: "Could it be that you suspect that I did it?" ”
Qi Hao hurriedly explained: "The student has no such intention, the student just wants to understand the reason, if I suspect Wang Louchang, I can find other feng shui masters, why do I have to come here so rashly, isn't it boring to do this?" ”
Wang Yuanba said with a smile: "You kid is smart, you say that, I really have to go to this Shangshu Mansion, haha." ”
Gu Heyang also touched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Louchang is the Great Onmyoji of the Southern Dynasty, if you go to see it, you must be able to see the clues!" ”
Wang Yuan said domineeringly: "If you can't see it, I can't guarantee it, but since it's something that my academy wants to investigate, I should help as the head of the four-story building of the academy, I don't think it's too late, let's go for a trip!" ”
Wang Yuanba stood up, brushed a few peach leaves that fell on his clothes, and pushed the door out.
The three of them re-arrived at Shangshu Mansion, and the scene was still a mess. The Liu family had already moved to other places to settle down, only the Chang family and Liu Ruyu were waiting outside the door, both of them were respectful, obviously this Wang Yuanba's previous relationship with Liu Huaiyi was indeed extraordinary. After Wang Yuanba arrived, he first walked slowly along the entire mansion, looked at a few ruins, ponds, rockeries, and looked through the disgusting things that had been buried, but there was no problem, but after looking at it like this, the more he looked at it, the more heavy his face became.
Qi Hao saw something strange and asked, "Lou Chang Wang, but do you see something wrong?" ”
Wang Yuanba shook his head and said: "Everything in this Shangshu Mansion is still arranged according to the original, the feng shui has not been touched, and there are no other problems, I thought that someone would bury the object of the mine under the attic, I just looked at it, and there is no problem, this is strange." ”
He looked at the ruins intently, and suddenly found that a few tide insects and ground turtles crawled out from under the ground, he was stunned, suddenly took out the compass, calculated again, shook his head and said, "This is ...... It's so weird! ”
"Chief Wang, what's wrong?"
"There's one thing I've overlooked."
"What's the problem?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
Wang Yuan said domineeringly: "Shangshu Mansion is not a new building, but on the site of the original General's Mansion to renovate, I helped Lord Liu to do the design of sand filling, gas gathering, drainage, disaster prevention, and fire prevention in the courtyard of the study, but I ignored the original dark feng shui here." ”
Dark Feng Shui?
Everyone has only heard of Feng Shui, but they have never heard the word dark Feng Shui, and they don't know what it means. Wang Yuan said domineeringly: "Dark feng shui is the opposite of the feng shui seen on the surface, it is the opposite of feng shui, the feng shui of this Shangshu Mansion was specially covered up from the beginning, this fire finally exposed it, in fact, there is a ...... here"
These people were all shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's what?" ”
Wang Yuanba stopped suddenly, obviously he didn't know how to explain it to the people present. He paused for a moment and said, "That's it, you don't have to investigate this matter first, and arrange for someone to take care of this place, so as not to let someone destroy the scene." ”
Qi Hao still wanted to ask again, but he didn't want this Wang Yuanba to hurriedly go to the Six Phases Division, but he couldn't stop it, and the clue of this feng shui was naturally broken.
The two of them are lost, thinking that it will be difficult to achieve this end? But seeing Song Yu galloping over on a high-headed horse, seeing the two of them looking discouraged, he chuckled: "You asked about feng shui and ghosts, but what important clues have you found?" ”
Gu Heyang saw Song Yu's lofty posture, and he was angry, and snorted: "Do you still need to ask?" Naturally, I found a big clue! ”
Song Yu sneered: "You can't even lie to people!" Your expression and tone are clearly empty! It seems that I have been looking at feng shui for a long time and have not seen anything! ”
"You...... Don't be like this all the time! Gu Heyang said angrily.
"I'm just telling the truth!" Gu Heyang was unceremonious.
Liu Ruyu on the side snorted lightly, stepped forward and said, "Then I don't know what happened to the adult?" Seeing that the adults are full of energy, they must have mastered extremely important clues. Although there are not many gold and silver treasures in these treasure chests, they are all collected by my father with his life's work, and I hope that the adults will solve this case as soon as possible. ”
Liu Ruyu's words were hidden in the needle, how Song Yu didn't understand, she said loudly: "Miss Liu's words needless to say, such a big case involves theft and thunder fire, even if the emperor doesn't pay attention to it, my Dali Temple is naturally duty-bound, and I must go all out." ”
Liu Ruyu said: "That's good, Xiaoyu is waiting for the good news of the adults!" ”
Song Yu paused, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I found out some news about the honor list......"
Song Yu only said half of what she said, it was obvious that she wanted the two of them to accompany her to have a look, but this person has always been arrogant, and it is not her style to take the initiative to invite others so much, so she spit out half of the information, hoping that these two people will take the initiative to answer.
I don't want Gu Heyang to say bluntly: "If you find it, you can find it, it's amazing!" ”
Qi Hao hurriedly stabbed him, obviously with Qi Hao's delicate mind, he understood the meaning of Gu Heyang's words very well, and he said appropriately: "Oh, that must be very important news?" ”
Song Yu said: "That's nature! ”
Qi Hao smiled, changed his words, and asked, "Why do you want to share such important information with us?" ”
Gu He Yang Bian said in a low voice: "You still need to think about this, it must be that this person is withdrawn, she has no friends on weekdays, and no one will help her at critical moments, she is a lone wolf, no, she can only come to us!" Huh! ”
Song Yu sneered: "Gu Heyang, you don't have to whisper so hard, my eyesight and ear power are far beyond ordinary people, I can hear these words clearly." It's okay to tell you now, I've been investigating this case for more than a month, and no one else has been able to intervene, so I naturally don't want to share the results with others, but you two also made a contribution last night, so it's a different matter. ”
Gu Hetian snorted: "Sure enough, I want to swallow the results alone!" ”
Gu Heyang pulled off the back of the horse and said, "There are horses outside this door, if you want to go, hurry up and get on the horse, I don't have so much time to chat." ”
As she spoke, she patted the black horse, and as soon as the horse lifted its front body, it turned around directly and walked towards the west, and the whole posture was very chic.
Gu Heyang said: "This person is wooden-faced every day, just like others owe her money!" ”
Qi Hao smiled: "Don't complain, don't we also have to investigate this case?" It's called reciprocity, by the way, you can't ride a horse, I can't ride......"
Gu Heyang said: "Just kidding, I'm a dignified country nobleman, I haven't done anything!" ”
He saw a tall black horse tied to the door, with a shiny coat and a handsome body, especially with four legs and hooves, as if he could chase the wind and tread the clouds.
Gu Heyang touched the horse's back, and called a few good horses, he saw that the black horse had no intention of resisting, and turned over lightly and got on the horse, and said, "Qi Hao, come up, let's try this horse." ”
The horseshoe trampled all the way to the west.
After passing through several villages and a valley, we finally reached the crow forest on the outskirts.
It's a deserted and inhospitable place, even in the middle of summer, it's gloomy, with a zigzag stone staircase winding upwards, and the ancient trees on both sides are half-yellow and half-withered, intertwined among the rocks, like a group of huge dryads guarding the forbidden place. At the end of the stone steps is a dilapidated ancient temple, on the top of which is a hollow camphor tree with a diameter of more than three zhang, and the thick roots of the camphor tree must be thicker than the mouth of the well, like the tentacles of an octopus through the walls and beams of the temple, completely integrated with the temple. There was a faint smell of rancid smell in the air.
Gu Heyang sighed: "What a big tree! ”
Qi Hao has always had a bit of a habit of flowers, birds, fish and insects, he saw the giant camphor hanging like a cloud, and couldn't help but chant: "Yu camphor is born in the deep mountains, no one knows for thousands of years, sad and lamentable!" Thinking that these trees have been dead for several years, it must be impossible to become demons. It's a pity that such a good camphor tree, if it is lush and leafy, it is also a beautiful scenery in the mountains! ”
"This is the Raven Forest." Song Yu said: "Yesterday, the head of the Bagua Sect, who ranked fifth on the glory list, was killed! ”
Qi Hao exclaimed: "Too void Dao Chief? ”
Qi Hao had heard of the great name of the Taixu Dao Master, and this person's mastery was the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover that shocked the Great Southern Dynasty, and he didn't want such a great master to be killed? Isn't the person who killed him one of the best masters in the world?
"I heard that Taixu Zhenren went out of the customs last month, and he just arrived in Kyoto last night, and he didn't want to be killed halfway. So, the honor list will definitely change today, and we will wait here, and it is estimated that we will know who the ninth person in this row is in a while. Song Yu said.
As soon as the list on the honor list changes, the list will be posted in time in the first afternoon, so that people in the rivers and lakes can read it in time, which is the traditional rule. That's why Song Yu wanted to come to the Crow Forest, if he didn't get the glory list this time, but was snatched away by other sects, then if he wanted to know who the ninth-ranked killer was, I'm afraid he would have to wait for a while!
Gu Heyang was not interested in the high-ranking position, he was just curious: "I want to know who the ninth-ranked female killer is, why don't you ask the people who have seen the last list?" Do you still have to wait for a new round of scenery lists? ”
Qi Hao patiently replied: "You don't know about this. As soon as this glorious list comes out, there will inevitably be countless people from the rivers and lakes who come to compete, and the people who get the list will naturally collect it, and then sell it at a high price one by one. Being cheated of money is a trivial matter, if the news is not true, then it is a big mistake! ”
Gu Heyang said: "It's better to come and get it directly!" ”
At this time, Song Yu stood in front of a ruined temple, and saw that on the ruined wall, the giant camphor towered to the sky, and there was a fairly flat place in the middle of the trunk, and there were many sharp weapons on it, and said: "This should be the place where the glory list is posted." ”
Legend has it that this honor roll appears at dusk, when the sun is setting in the west, and the hour is near, and there is a faint sound in the woods, although ordinary people do not hear it very really, as if the wind rustles through the leaves.
Suddenly, Song Yu turned around and said loudly towards the woods: "Song Yu is here to take a look at the glory list, and I hope to make it convenient, so as not to make the sword have no eyes and hurt the harmony!" ”
As she spoke, she threw out a long whip of dark iron, and as soon as the long whip came out, the entire forest suddenly became agitated, and there seemed to be someone whispering, after all, such a blatant person is really rare!
Gu Heyang hurriedly said, "What are you doing?" Isn't this the kind of thing to be done quietly? ”
Song Yu sneered: "Do you think there are just the three of us in this woods? ”
Gu Heyang immediately jumped out and looked around: "Who else?" ”
Qi Hao said worriedly: "Should we hide first and then wait for the opportunity to act, now that we are so blatant, will we become the target of public criticism?" This is a taboo for soldiers! ”
Song Yu said disapprerovingly: "It's all here, it's not interesting if you sneak around, I really want to see what is so powerful about the people in the rivers and lakes, it's a big deal to fight." ”
One of these three people is worried, one is confused, and the other is excited.
Song Yu pointed to a place and said, "Qi Hao, you use your silk thread to enclose this place, Gu Heyang, you ......"
Gu Heyang was listening attentively, but after waiting for a long time, Song Yu said: "You can just do it, just protect yourself." ”
"Hey! What do you mean! Gu Heyang said dissatisfied, "It's like I'm useless!" ”
"Someone's coming!" Qi Hao shouted lightly.
Sure enough, in the woods, there was the sound of birds fluttering, hula, hula! Fast and fast!
A shadow leaped through the dense trees, and the speed was indeed very fast.
Song Yu sneered: "I can't bear it so quickly." ”
"You didn't force that!" Gu Heyang said.
