Chapter Seventy-Eight: Over There
The place Mu Junwu is going to is the Soul Snatcher Room.
Where the cuckoo appeared in the Tang Sect, except for the nine stone tablets in the forbidden land, it was the neck of the disciple of the Soul Snatcher Room, and he naturally explored the Soul Snatcher Room at night to find the answer.
The night breeze was cool, Mu Junwu walked through the bamboo forest and touched the vicinity of the soul snatcher room, only to find that the soul snatcher room at night was not as lazy as the organ room, which was not only brightly lit, but also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and was heavily guarded.
This posture is comparable to the Forbidden Palace.
Mu Junwu frowned and retreated a little, hiding in a big tree not far away, quietly waiting for the opportunity to change shifts on duty to touch in.
Who knew that this wait, but he waited until dawn, and he didn't see any disciples to change classes.
Mu Junwu was surprised, but he was also sure that there was something special about the Soul Snatcher Room, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, but he wanted to visit it even more.
……
As soon as the stone door of the secret room of the ancestral hall opened, the neatly dressed grandmother walked calmly inside, she took the incense stick and lit it with her clean hands, and made a routine daily offering in front of the tablet.
"Tang Xiang respectfully asks the ancestors of the Tang Sect to bless the Tang Sect from chaos and survive the difficulties."
When the incense stick was put into the furnace, when she lifted her skirt and was about to bow, her eyes inadvertently swept above the tablet, and she saw the oil lamp that changed direction, and she was stunned.
Grandma's face suddenly turned ugly, and then she didn't bow down, but pulled an inconspicuous banner rope in the secret room.
After half a cup of tea, the stone door opened again, and Tang Xiao rushed in in a hurry: "Grandma! ”
"Someone has entered the forbidden land in the back mountain, Xiao'er, you go and check it out!"
"Understood." Tang Xiao immediately ran out in response, and her grandmother clenched her hands tightly, her eyes worried.
Tang Xiao's expression was solemn, and he rushed all the way to the medicine mountain, and when he passed by the martial arts arena, he didn't notice that Tang Feiyan, Chang Jin, and A Luo were fighting each other.
"Brother Xiao!" Tang Feiyan's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Tang Xiao, she not only immediately accepted it, but also waved her hand to greet her, but Tang Xiao was worried about being broken into, where would he pay attention to his surroundings? He couldn't hear and rushed towards the medicine mountain.
Tang Feiyan was stunned when she saw this, and immediately ran after him, Chang Jin and A Luo glanced at each other, and hurriedly chased after him.
"I'm finally early today."
Hua Rou, who came to the forbidden land early, didn't see Mu Junwu for the first time, and immediately picked up the branches and began to practice the moves.
After only a few moves, Hua Rou felt much lighter than yesterday, and there was an indescribable comfort in her body when the moves were out, she felt this change with her heart, and the branches in her hands danced more vigorously.
"Hua Rou?" The words of astonishment interrupted Hua Rou's heartiness.
"Senior Brother Tang Xiao?" Compared with Tang Xiao's consternation, Hua Rou was even more surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
Tang Xiao glanced at the stone door behind Hua Rou, and his face sank: "I should ask you this." ”
Hua Rou shrank her neck, a little weak: "I'...... I'm practicing the exercises here! ”
"Here? The Tang Gate is so big, do you want to come here? ”
"I can't help it, only it's quiet here, and there won't be trouble."
Tang Xiao was stunned when he heard this: "Trouble? What's the trouble? ”
Hua Rou shrunk her neck and lowered her head: "It's nothing." ”
Tang Xiao stepped forward: "Someone is making trouble for you?" Tell me who it is! I will never allow ugly deeds in the Tang Sect. ”
Hua Rou scratched her head for the rarity: "Actually, it's nothing, it's all over......"
"You have to tell me!" Tang Xiao's expression was serious and serious, and his attitude was clear.
"This one...... Probably...... It's Sister Feiyan who misunderstood! However, it's really gone, it's okay, and I want to thank Senior Brother Tang Xiao, you helped me at that time, taught me literacy, and taught me ......"
"I said, why don't you suddenly need me to teach and don't talk to me!" Tang Xiao interrupted angrily: "It turned out to be because of her!" ”
Hua Rou hurriedly waved her hand: "Senior Brother Tang Xiao, it's not like this...... Oh, there are some things I can't say, in short, I don't want to trouble you anymore, and I don't want Senior Sister Feiyan to misunderstand......"
"Hua Rou, you hear clearly, I taught you, I volunteered, and there was no trouble in the first place."
Tang Xiao seemed to be angry, and explained to Hua Rou seriously: "Although Tang Feiyan and I have talked about a marriage contract, first, her parents did not agree, and secondly, this marriage contract is just arranged by grandma, and I don't like her at all." ”
"Huh? You don't like her? Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao in surprise: "Then why do you still want to get married?" ”
Tang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but at this time, Tang Feiyan suddenly rushed to Hua Rou and raised her hand to slap her!
This slap was very hard, and the defenseless Hua Rou fell directly to the ground, and at this time, Tang Xiao grabbed Tang Feiyan's arm: "Feiyan? Why did you hit her? ”
Tang Feiyan glared at Hua Rou with an angry face: "What are you doing?" Her eyes skimmed over the stone tablet of warning, and then she gritted her teeth and said: "Hua Rou violated the rules of the door and trespassed into the forbidden land, I will send her to the torture hall to be executed!" ”
……
Mu Junwu, who was on guard until early in the morning, finally waited for the change of guard when he had no choice but to give up.
He quickly touched the courtyard wall, and took advantage of the moment of distraction, he climbed over the wall and entered the backyard of the Soul Snatcher Room.
Not long after he entered, Honggu hurried into the front yard of the Soul Snatcher Room.
Mu Junwu carefully avoided the walking disciples and the patrol guards and struggled forward, and he found that the layout of the Soul Snatcher Room was no different from the organ room and the drug room, the only difference was that the cuckoo pattern could be seen everywhere here.
From the tiles of the eaves, to the carvings of the beams and columns, from the painting of the porch railings to the buttons of the window lattices, all of them are rhododendrons without exception.
Mu Junwu came to the vicinity of the main hall smoothly according to the established layout, and to his surprise, unlike the heavily guarded surroundings, the area around the main hall was empty.
Tight on the outside and loose on the inside?
Mu Junwu felt that something was not quite right, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he quickly approached the main hall, and after observing the door for a moment to make sure that there were no traps, he slipped in.
The layout in the main hall was very simple, Mu Junwu looked around and noticed a bookshelf on the right side, and he immediately went up to rummage through it, hoping to find some clues.
He first flipped through a list of disciples in the Soul Snatcher Room, quickly flipped through it, put it down, and found a copy of "Records of Foreign Affairs".
As soon as he pulled it out and was about to open it, he heard movement outside, and hurriedly put the book away and planned to sneak out, but found that it was too late, so he could only quickly dodge behind the curtain of the side compartment and hold his breath.
At this time, Grandma came in with Honggu and Tang Min.
"Tang Min, during this time, you have sorted out all the people outside for me, I don't know when there will be waves inside the door, when I need you, you have to support me."
"Yes."
Grandma sat in the chair: "Although there have been no people in the soul snatching room in the past few years, you can't be lazy as a sect leader, and you haven't come back a few people who have been sent out to do things in the first two months, haven't you?" ”
Tang Min bowed his head: "It's because I have failed to teach." ”
"If you know that there is a mistake, you can change it, go down!"
After Tang Min stepped back respectfully, Grandma turned her head to look at Honggu: "What's the matter?" ”
Honggu handed a note to her grandmother: "News just came over there." ”
Grandma stretched out her hand to open it, glanced at it, and said with a gloomy face: "Go and talk back, tell that over there, I will pay attention." ”
Honggu immediately responded and withdrew.
As soon as she left, Grandma stared down at the note in her hand, the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, and finally crumpled the note and threw it aside, and the paper ball rolled on the ground and stopped in front of the curtain where Mu Junwu was hiding.
