In front of the courtyard of the blue bricks and stone tiles, two red wooden doors are exquisite, there are still seventy-two floating nails, and there is a shop head ring, the monster carved by the "shop head ring" has two horns, a big nose and small eyes, a ring in the mouth, and the copper ring is wide and round, and the surface of the copper door knocker is also finely carved. The door of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is open, and there are a pair of stone lions on the left and right in front of the door. On the door, there is a delicate gold plaque on a red background, with four seal characters of "Zhuge Mansion" written on it.

Such a majestic trend, Lu Ming was amazed. sighed in his heart, the Zhuge family background seemed to be much deeper than he imagined.

Zhuge Vic said politely on the side, "Please come in, junior brother." Then he led the way, and Lu Ming followed.

Entering the courtyard, there is a stone wall, which is carved with auspicious clouds, and there is a five-clawed golden dragon swimming in it, lifelike, if you keep staring, you will find that this swimming dragon seems to be alive.

Bypass the wall, enter the outer courtyard, bluestone pavement, left and right houses, a man-made fountain in the middle, through a corridor, is a small garden, the garden is planted with trees and flowers, and there is a small rockery, then enter the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is more beautiful, in addition to the houses, there are many flowers and plants, and there is a small pond in the courtyard, which has countless golden and red koi fish.

After walking through a cloister, we reached the hall.

There are two seats on the left and right of the lower seat in the hall, and the material should be one of the mahogany, Lu Ming didn't look closely. There are also two chairs in the upper seat, both of which are made of this material, and each chair and coffee table are beautifully carved.

Above the hall there is a portrait of a figure who seems to be very old, and in the painting is an old man, dressed in ancient clothes, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

An old man was dressed in a Tang costume at this time, sitting on the upper seat and drinking tea.

Zhuge Wei stood still outside the door and said, "Grandpa, Lu Ming has arrived." ”

The old man put down the teacup and saw his grandson and Lu Ming in front of the door. Hurriedly got up, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "Lu Xiaoyou, please come in quickly." ”

Zhuge Wei and Lu Ming walked into the hall at this time.

"Patriarch Zhuge , long time no see." Lu Ming hugged his fists.

This person is the patriarch of the Zhuge family who fought with Lu Ming in the underground palace, Zhuge Wei's grandfather, Zhuge Kunyi.

"Long time no see, please take a seat." The patriarch of Zhuge beckoned Lu Ming to sit down and arranged for Zhuge Wei to serve tea.

"I heard that Lu Xiaoyou had returned to Longmen, so I asked him to invite you over for a light meal, and there was no one else, they were all old friends. There is also one more person who can speak. ”

"Could it be Elder Xu?" Lu Ming guessed.

"Lu Xiaoyou is really smart, so I guessed it. It was Xu Lao. Patriarch Zhuge replied with a smile.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess, it is related to the Zhuge family, and the only people I know about the entire Longmen who I know are Zhuge Wei and Xu Lao. That's why Lu Ming had this guess.

Patriarch Zhuge continued, "Old man gets straight to the point, before Elder Xu comes, there is something to ask Xiaoyou. ”

"Patriarch Zhuge please speak." Lu Ming knew that there must be something wrong with this old Zhuge patriarch inviting him to come.

"Here's the thing, the Zhuge family had a general more than two hundred years ago, named Zhuge General. This is a guard general stationed in Longmen in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also related to the fact that my Zhuge family has guarded Longmen for generations. ”

Zhuge generals have a beloved wife, Chen, who is the east of Longmen, a person from Chenjiaao in Bowen Town, and Chenjiaao has a deep relationship with the Zhuge family. Although Chen Jiaao no longer exists.

This Chen family died prematurely, and the child could not be left, so according to the ancestral training and some circumstances at that time, he could not enter the ancestral hall of the Zhuge family, nor could he return to Chenjiaao.

Zhuge was angry that his wife Chen could not enter the ancestral hall, and the process was full of twists and turns, and finally rebelled, so he left Longmen with his wife's body and went to other places.

This Zhuge general will leave if he leaves, but he stole a thing from Chen Jiaao, and this thing is very important. So the Zhuge clan and Chen Jiaao have been looking for this thing.

After searching for two hundred years, it was not until recently that there was a clue to find the tomb of the Chen family, but it was a step too late, and the tomb was emptied. After many investigations, it was found out that it was the research institute under the Wind Control Group that took away the contents of the tomb.

It just so happened that Zhuge Wei met Lu Ming today, and there was a banquet to entertain Lu Ming today.

The meaning of the old patriarch Zhuge is self-evident, but Lu Ming is really embarrassed by this, although he works in the research institute, he can't take away the cultural relics brought back by the research institute. However, Lu Ming didn't expect that this two-hundred-year-old tomb in a neighboring province would have such a relationship with the Zhuge family, and the old patriarch Zhuge was highly respected, and he didn't think that he would make up a story out of thin air to deceive himself.

This may also confirm what some female ghosts have said.

Before Lu Ming could answer, the old patriarch Zhuge hurriedly explained, "Lu Xiaoyou doesn't have to be too embarrassed, we just want one thing to be buried in the coffin, and the others are not interested, and we can also recycle this item at a high price." I also hope that Lu Xiaoyou can build a bridge and draw a line. ”

Lu Ming paused for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the old patriarch wants?" ”

"A seal."

When Lu Ming heard this, his eyes lit up, and a picture flashed in his mind. Seal? It's actually a seal again?

Seeing Lu Ming's reaction, Patriarch Zhuge guessed that this seal was indeed in this tomb.

However, then Lu Ming's words poured cold water on Patriarch Zhuge .

"Patriarch Zhuge is going to be disappointed, there is no such seal in the tomb."

"How so?" Zhuge Kun said disappointedly, he thought that after two hundred years of searching, he finally found it, but he didn't expect it to be empty again, but he clearly saw the difference in Lu Ming's eyes just now, is he lying?

Zhuge Kun looked at Lu Ming, and Lu Ming also knew that he had reacted a little more obviously after hearing the seal just now, and was noticed by the Zhuge patriarch.

"Don't hide it from the old patriarch, the seal is indeed not in the tomb. But ......"

"But what? Please also make it clear. ”

"There must have been a seal in the tomb, and it is likely that the old patriarch was looking for it, but it was taken a hundred years ago."

When Zhuge Kun heard this, he was even more puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How did Xiaoyou know?" ”

So Lu Ming told Zhuge Kunyi what he had told the female ghost in the research institute.

That's when I understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Zhuge Kun understood clearly after listening to what he said, and it seems that the matter of finding the seal can also be carried out together with the matter investigated by Lu Ming.

"I don't know what clues Lu Xiaoyou has now?"

"There are no useful clues, and it is only now that I know that this tomb has such a great relationship with the Zhuge family. In this case, we also have a common purpose, if the old patriarch has any clues, please inform Lu Ming. ”

"Xiaoyou rest assured, it should be so. If you have a clue about the seal, you should also notify the old decay as soon as possible, so as not to leave the seal elsewhere. ”

At this point, the two reached an agreement.
