Chapter 39: The Ancient Tower
Wu Jiahao said very respectfully, I really didn't expect that Uncle Zhou, you came in person!
Zhou Yuang sneered and said, "Your Wu family's hand is stretching out longer and longer, and you actually came to interfere in the affairs of the four major warehouses.
Our four major families have discussed that the four major warehouses are their own masters.
It's not good for you to do that! ”
Wu Jiahao blushed when he said it, but he quickly said, "Uncle Zhou, you don't know, this matter is closely related to our Zhou family, so we came to help the owner of Nancang." ”
Zhou Yuang said lightly, "You may not know that this little brother saved my life."
So his business is our Zhou family's business.
If your Wu family is involved, then our Zhou family will not stand idly by. ”
Zhou Yuang clearly wanted to turn his face with the Wu family.
Although among the four major families, the strength of the Wu family is stronger than that of the Zhou family, it will not be much stronger.
If the two of them make a move, it can only be a lose-lose situation, and let the Zhang family and the Zhao family pick up a bargain.
So no matter how serious the situation is, as long as it is under control, the two of them will not act lightly.
But this time is different, Zhou Yuang refuses to back down at all.
Under the command of the six fingers, Li Guangtou is determined to get the things in the villa.
The conflict between the Zhou family and the Wu family was inevitable, and the scene immediately became quiet.
If the Zhou family and the Wu family really turned their faces, then the entire provincial capital would be turned upside down.
After a while, Wu Jiahao sneered and said, "Uncle Zhou, you also know that if we make a move, it will not be beneficial to both of us.
So you still have to think about it. ”
Zhou Yuang said, "We thought about it before we came, if your Wu family insists on going your own way, our Zhou family will accompany us to the end!" ”
Neither of them would budge, and the matter was at a stalemate.
Mei Lin didn't expect that things would get to this point.
If he really divided Xicang into three parts, he would not have lost.
He did this just to make Li bald head deflated.
Wu Jiahao nodded and said, "The Wu family and the Zhou family have not had a conflict for decades.
I can't believe that you would turn your face on us for an unknown brat. ”
In fact, Zhou Yuang also knows that although the two families are safe and sound on the surface, they are secretly competing.
Because the status of the four major families is determined by strength, no matter who they are, they refuse to fall behind others.
It was only a matter of time before the Zhou family and the Wu family made a move.
Zhou Yuang said, "Our Zhou family will repay his kindness, he is kind to us, even if there is only one person left in the Zhou family, he will help him to the end!" ”
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my brother.
Our Wu family also wants to know what your Zhou family's strength is now. Wu Jiahao said.
The conflict between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.
Everyone present was stunned, even Li Guangtou didn't expect that things would deteriorate to this point.
If the two major families make a move, it will be a disaster for all the strengths of the provincial capital.
Everyone will get involved, and no one will have a good life.
At this moment, Shen Yanfei walked to the front of the crowd.
told Wu Jiahao that we also have a part in this matter, so we will not sit idly by.
Glancing at her contemptuously, Wu Jiahao said, "This is a matter between our Wu family and the Zhou family, when will it be your turn to participate?"
What qualifications do you have? ”
Shen Yanfei took off the ring on her finger and put it on the table.
Seeing that ring, Wu Jiahao felt like a ghost.
He took several steps back, looked at her with incredible eyes, and asked, Are you the Shen family?
Shen Yanfei nodded and said, yes, my surname is Shen, what's the matter, do you still look down on us now?
Wu Jiahao's face immediately became very ugly.
It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although the Shen family is very powerful in the capital, but when it comes to the provincial capital, it may not be much of a threat to the Wu family.
But if the Zhou family and the Wu family were both defeated, and the Shen family was involved, then the Wu family would have no chance at all.
Wu Jiahao's face was cloudy, standing there weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Zhou, if you remember today's incident, our Wu family will not stop." ”
Under the attack of the two forces, Wu Jiahao had no chance of winning at all, so he retreated.
Zhou Yuang said lightly, we will accompany you at any time.
Let's go! Wu Jiahao led people out of the villa like a defeated rooster.
At this time, Li Guangtou was completely stunned, without the support of the Wu family, he was not the opponent of Dongcang and Beicang at all.
The horse monkey smiled and asked, how is it? Nancang owner, have you thought about it?
Zhou Yuang and Shen Yanfei's eyes fell on his face.
Li Guangtou rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, count you ruthless!"
I'll only keep the piece of land near the villa, and the rest will be yours! ”
Hearing his words, the horse monkey's face blossomed with a smile.
After he and Beicang divide the territory of Xicang, his strength will definitely increase a lot, and it is only a matter of time before Li Guangtou is eliminated.
Li Guangtou hung his head and only kept a piece of land near the villa.
The rest of the place was divided between the North Warehouse and the East Warehouse.
He and Six Fingers tried their best to kill He Qiang, and as a result, Beicang and Dongcang picked up a big bargain.
The purpose of the six fingers was achieved, but when he dug up the ground around the villa, he couldn't find a single hair, and his nose would definitely be crooked.
Zhou Yuang and his son left Li Guangtou's villa, and Mei Lin sent them to the gate.
Mei Lin thanked them.
Zhou Yuang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your alchemy technique is really amazing.
My years of old illness have finally gone to the roots.
To tell the truth, I have searched all the famous alchemists in the provincial capital.
Compared to you, they can't do it at all.
You are a talent, and you will definitely get ahead in the future. ”
Mei Lin said respectfully, "Thank you for the compliment."
I can have today thanks to the help of your Zhou family. ”
When Mei Lin said this, he wasn't patting on the back, because many times, it was Zhou Yun who was helping him out of the siege.
Zhou Yuang said, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, our Zhou family will not stand idly by.
After saying that, he got into the car.
Zhou Yun said, "Although Wu Jiahao returned home today, the Wu family is very ambitious, and they will definitely not give up."
Our Zhou family has to be more vigilant.
Brother Mei, you have to be more careful.
Our two families have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and we know their methods very well.
They are very insidious. ”
"Yes, I see." Mei Lin said, "If you have anything to do with me in the future, just tell me." ”
Zhou Yun said with a smile, "Brother Mei, I really didn't see the wrong person.
You are no longer what it used to be, and among the four major warehouses, your strength is the strongest.
You join forces with Dongcang, and even the Zhang family doesn't dare to trouble you easily. ”
Mei Lin did not forget what he said to Zhang Yuan, "One day, I must trample you under my feet!" ”
Seeing the Zhou family father and son driving out of the villa, Ma Monkey happily said to Mei Lin and Ding Qi, "Today's big victory, let's go, let's celebrate!" ”
Everyone followed the horse monkey to the territory of Dongcang.
Ma Monkey set up a few tables in the best hotel under his name.
He called everyone to him.
Everyone was very happy, Mei Lin told the horse monkey to be more careful, Li Guangtou would definitely not swallow this evil breath.
Especially the strength of the six fingers is very strong, Mei Lin watched him kill He Qiang and his subordinates alone.
He specially told the horse monkey to prepare more self-defense guys.
The horse monkey had understood what he meant.
Tell him, don't worry, He Qiang is a lesson from the past, and I have already sent someone to arrange it.
"That's fine." Hearing him say this, Mei Lin was relieved.
After taking over the industry under He Qiang's name, Beicang's strength has increased a lot.
Of course, Ding Qi would not swallow it alone, and gave Mei Lin a lot of benefits.
Mei Lin asked Pang Guang to pick a good car, and now he doesn't have to take a taxi to go out.
With Mei Lin, Pang Guang lived a very nourishing life, and even bought a house in the provincial capital.
But Mei Lin was thinking about the Eight Treasures Glazed Wood.
Master said that only by finding the Eight Treasure Glazed Wood can the Mei family be saved.
The tragic situation when his grandfather died weighed on his heart like a big stone.
Maybe it won't be long before the same thing happens to him.
So this matter has to be done quickly.
Mei Lin sent someone to inquire about the situation on Li Guangtou's side.
Sure enough, Li Guangtou took off the entire villa, and even dug a big pit several feet deep where the villa was located.
But I didn't find anything related to the eight-treasure glazed wood.
Li Guangtou even held his breath and made a fire, but there was nothing he could do.
Mei Lin didn't dare to be careless, he knew, Six Fingers knew that he had suffered a dumb loss.
You'll be coming soon.
Mei Lin informed Nan Nan, "You must step up your precautions, and you can't give Six Fingers a chance."
What happened last time must not happen again. ”
Nan Nan said to him, "Don't worry, I'm also prepared, Six Fingers doesn't have a chance to get close to me at all." ”
The four ancient buildings are on the territory of the four great families.
Mei Lin has the deepest relationship with the Zhang family, and he plans to start with the stone tower on the Zhang family's territory first.
This matter must be carried out in secret, and if the Zhang family is alarmed, it will be difficult to do.
Mei Lin discussed this matter with Shen Yanfei.
Shen Yanfei said, "On the map we got, it is only marked that the eight-treasure glazed wood is related to the stone tower.
We don't know exactly what happened.
If the Eight Treasure Glazed Wood were a single tree, could it have been divided into four parts and hidden in four places? ”
Mei Lin shook his head and said, "It's unlikely.
Because if the Eight Treasure Glazed Wood was divided into so many sections, the aura inside would have been exhausted long ago.
Even if you get it, it won't be of much use.
There must be some secret hidden in it. ”
Shen Yanfei said, "Buildings such as ancient towers generally have underground palaces.
If there is really any secret, it will definitely be hidden in the dungeon, so let's start with the dungeon. ”
She had a point.
The two of them went out of their way to go around the ancient tower a few times.
There was a park, and a river flowed slowly in front of the ancient tower.
The ancient pagoda is about four or five zhang high, and the base is a square girdle Sumeru.
The central part is curved and has three pot doors, each guarded by a lion carved in stone.
The top is a tasa, which is embossed with the sun, moon and stars orbs.
Because in the park, there are many people who come to play.
More than ten meters away from the stone tower, there is a ring of guardrails, which ordinary people cannot approach.
After figuring out the terrain around the ancient tower, Mei Lin and Shen Yanfei decided to go to find out at night.
In the middle of the night, they packed up everything they had applied and went straight out of the fence.
In the night, the ancient tower was like a beast lying in the enclosure.
They looked around, but there was no movement, and then they jumped in from the fence.
They crept up to the tower gate.
Because it has been recently renovated, the tower door is painted red and full of golden nails the size of a fist.
Mei Lin glanced at Shen Yanfei, and then gently pulled the tower door open.
Then shine a flashlight into it.
The space in the tower room was very large, and nothing unusual was found, so Mei Lin stepped in.
Shen Yanfei followed and walked in.
On the floor in the center of the tower room, a huge statue of the Buddha is carved.
A stone staircase runs diagonally upward.
Shen Yanfei said in a low voice, let's go up there and take a look, maybe we can find clues.
Merlin nodded, and they walked up the stone steps.
They tried not to make a sound, but there was a slight thump when they stepped on the stone steps.
The stone tower is divided into three levels, and the central one has a statue carved out of stone.
The statue looks very familiar, Mei Lin has seen it in the wooden tower in the backyard.
Mei Lin never recognized who this character was.
Shen Yanfei stood in front of the statue and looked at it for a while.
Mei Lin asked him, do you know whose statue this is?
Shen Yanfei said with a smile, "You still claim to be a carpenter, why don't you even know the carpenter ancestor?" ”
Mei Lin was slightly stunned, when he learned carpenter work with his grandfather, his grandfather told him that the ancestor of carpenters was Lu Ban.
I don't know what this ancient tower has to do with Lu Ban, and why it is dedicated to his statue.
Shen Yanfei frowned and said, "It's rare to see a statue of Luban in the ancient tower.
Unless it was a descendant of Lu Ban who built the ancient pagoda in the first place, or his direct apprentices. ”
Mei Lin looked at the axe in the statue's hand.
The axe was similar to the one he had gotten in the cave.
The two of them continued to walk up.
The tower chamber above was empty, and it was a little cool for the wind to blow in from all around.
Shen Yanfei wrapped her clothes tightly and said to Mei Lin, "It seems that the things we want are in the underground palace, let's go down." ”
Mei Lin followed her to the lower tower room.
Mei Lin took out a carpentry ruler and measured it from the tower door to the center of the Buddha statue.
It was right in the middle of the Buddha's palms together.
Mei Lin told Shen Yanfei that the entrance to the underground palace should be here.
Shen Yanfei said, you pry it open!
Mei Lin took out the Luban axe and inserted it into the center of the Buddha's palms.
Sure enough, there was a gap in it.
Mei Lin pried hard, and with a squeak, a rectangle of nearly a meter of floor was lifted.
A chill came over my face.
Mei Lin glanced back at Shen Yanfei and gently put the floor aside.
A stone staircase leads downward.
Mei Lin walked down the stone steps, nervous and excited at the same time.
The stone steps stretched into it about three or four feet deep, and finally his feet fell to the ground.
The space in front of him was very large, about the size of a tower room.
The most conspicuous thing is that in the space against the wall, there are many models of pavilions.
They are made according to a certain proportion of the real thing, and the style is very exquisite.
What surprised Mei Lin even more was that they were all made of gloomy wood.
Although it is old, there is no trace of decay.
These things must be worth a lot of money, even rare cultural relics.
Shen Yanfei walked up to a model of an ancient tower.
It's exactly like the stone tower outside.
It is also made of gloomy wood and is about a little over a meter high.
Shen Yanfei held a flashlight, circled around the model, and suddenly said, look, there is a word here!
