Chapter 402: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"Fourth Miss."
Even though the heat is very hot during the day, the weather on the autumn night is still slightly cool.
Shangsun Zhen tightened the ties of his cloak and commanded in a low voice:
"I'll go see my third sister."
Several maids looked at each other, bowed their heads and said "yes", took the lantern and carried it, two of them lit the way on one side, and the other four followed.
Along the way, I met many attendants at home, and when I saw Shangsun Zhen, they all saluted respectfully. Occasionally, when the outer disciples who were guarding in the shadows saw that it was her, they only turned their eyes away and did not interfere much.
This is the most favored daughter of the head of the family, who dares to snub it?
The dungeon is located in the south east of the Sword Washing Villa, and it looks like an ordinary brick house from the outside, with two Wupin disciples wearing strong suits guarding the door.
"Fourth Miss."
When the two saw Shangsun Zhen, they both saluted respectfully.
"I'll go see my third sister, you can lead the way."
The two guards glanced at each other and didn't ask much, and one of them took the initiative to stand up, raised the torch on the side, and led Sun Zhen into the dungeon.
The guard who remained by the door glanced at Sun Zhen's back suspiciously.
"Fourth Miss is notoriously poorly qualified, and even the medicinal power of the pill is extremely difficult to absorb, when did she get promoted to the third grade?"
On the other side, Qin Sheng in the council hall was talking, and suddenly his eyebrows moved, and he took out a mirror from his arms.
The mirror was slightly hot and glowing red.
"I sensed the location of the black stone!"
"What?"
Everyone looked up in unison.
Shangsun Yao's usually calm face finally revealed a hint of excitement.
"Got me right?"
Qin Sheng was very sure, "Absolutely, it's indeed the breath of the black stone, I didn't expect to find any clues yesterday, but today there are clues." ”
"It's in the front yard, let's go now!"
Qin Sheng held the gossip mirror in his hand and quickly swept towards the position he sensed, and the other people in the room also got up, and it didn't take long for the room to be empty.
In a courtyard in the northwest, a ghostly figure quietly fell behind a tree, and the maids in the courtyard rested a lot.
The only noteworthy Shangsun Pan in this courtyard has already entered the dungeon, so naturally there is no need for them to keep an eye on it all day.
The figure spotted the room in the main room and quietly floated in, and immediately, there was an intermittent coughing sound in the room.
The maid in the courtyard glanced at the main house and pouted, "This family is sick, and they are really alive." ”
Another maid also chimed in, "The third lady who sprinkled herself that day tossed herself into the dungeon, and this family didn't have any hope!" ”
The gray-haired Shangsun Jian in the room looked at the visitor with an angry expression and lowered his voice.
"Who are you? Our family is a waste, with no money and no power, but we have nothing to plot! ”
The man rolled his eyes, "Don't say it's your second room, there are few things in the entire Shangsun family that can make Lao Dao look at me." ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, your daughter has someone to save you, I'll take you out now."
The man pointed impatiently at Yan, "You, go and bring your other daughter!" ”
Yan looked at the unfathomable cultivator in front of him with a frightened expression, and glanced hesitantly at Shangsun Ji, who looked at Lao Dao for a moment and nodded towards Yan.
"Do as he says."
"Our family of four is already like this, is there room for worse?"
In a small and chic garden.
The room in the main room was brightly lit, and three figures sitting opposite each other fell from the window.
"If you use the Tao to control the technique, the technique will be successful. The art of apostasy will fail. ”
"Master, what is Tao and what is Shu?"
"The metaphysical is the way, and the metaphysical is the instrument. The Tao is the foundation, the technique is the method, and the combination of the Tao and the art is the right way. ”
……
The maid waiting in the courtyard listened attentively for a while, and found that she was confused, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It is worthy of being a big gentleman who is respected by the head of the family!" If I can be his disciple with this kind of knowledge, it will be a blessing for three lifetimes. ”
The other maid couldn't help but look at her with a smile, "Do you think it's a privilege to be a disciple of Mr., or is it a privilege to be by Meng Gongzi's side?" ”
A few maids laughed and played coquettishly, while listening to the discussion of the three masters and apprentices in the house, so unhappy.
In the room, Zhong Mengxi wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the dummy in front of him, and moistened his throat that was about to smoke with a teacup.
It must go well......
The forecourt of the Wash Sword Villa.
Shangsun Ji and the others almost stepped on the courtyard where they entered the wind, Qin Sheng held the gossip mirror in his palm, and was about to speak, but saw that the red light of the gossip mirror suddenly went out.
"The induction is gone!"
Qin Sheng's brows furrowed, a little annoyed.
"I'm afraid this thief has hidden the black stone again!"
The others looked around and recognized where it was.
"This is the courtyard where the disciples live."
This courtyard is neatly organized and square, with two rows of side rooms on both sides, which are where the inner disciples live, and the more spacious row of rooms facing south is the residence of the core disciples.
The disciples had already come out when they heard the movement, and at this time, when they saw that several powerful figures had come here, they had doubts in their hearts but did not dare to ask more.
"Search!"
These disciples who are more trusted on weekdays can't be used, Shangsun Ji only ordered Qin Sheng and Zhao Jia and other Keqing elders to search in person, although Shangsun Zhi is equivalent to a core disciple, but he is also the son of Shangsun Jia, and the search was not his turn.
It's just Wei Kang......
Shangsun Yao looked at him and said gently: "It's not that the teacher suspects you, it's that there is also your house here, and it is inconvenient for you to search it in person for the sake of justice." You go back to the council hall to guard first, for the teacher suddenly remembered that we are all here, maybe it is because of the trick of others to divert the tiger from the mountain, or it is better to have someone trustworthy to guard it. ”
Speaking of this, Shangsun Qian glanced at Shangsun Zhi again, "You accompany your senior brother to go over." ”
Shangsun Zhi was still stretching his neck and waiting to see the excitement, but when he heard Shangsun Zhi say this, he was a little reluctant, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had to walk to Wei Kang's side stupidly.
"Senior brother, let's go."
There was a lot of commotion in the front yard, and everyone else who heard the news came here.
Although it has not been said explicitly in the past two days, the movement of the mine is so big that it cannot be hidden, and everyone has seen the move of the Shangsun family to forcibly keep guests to strengthen the defense.
Now seeing such a posture, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a clue, and they all crowded into the upper courtyard one by one to wait to watch the show.
At this time, at the back door of the other Xijian Villa, a swill cart was pushed to the door.
"Stop!"
The old man with the cart was familiar with the people of Xijian Villa, and he was very accustomed to the rules of searching every day, and when he heard the guard guarding the door calling him, he immediately parked the swill cart by the door and lifted the lid on the barrel. I want to talk about "The Goddess" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
