We took two cars and headed south from Beijing to Shanxi.

When passing through Shijiazhuang, Zhou Yan came to my side, "Brother, why don't I tell the front and stay here for one night?" ”

"Why are you staying here?" I pretended to be calm.

"Do you need to ask?" She looked at me evilly, "It's going to be dark in a while, and I'm not in a hurry anyway, so why rush to the night?" ”

"Don't mess with you, we're doing something," I said.

She stopped making trouble, "Brother, you really don't want her?" ”

I smiled, "Why don't you want to, but when you score, let's talk about it when I come back from Shanxi." ”

"Brother, who are you talking about?" Wang Xiaochan looked at the two of us, "It can't be another girl, right?" ”

"What did I say you're asking about?" Feng Yong glanced at her, "I don't understand the rules at all, is this what you should ask?" ”

"You shut up for me, it has something to do with you?" Wang Xiaochan glanced at him, turned to look at us with a smile, "Brother, let's talk about it, I'm idle anyway." ”

"Don't make trouble", I looked at Wang Xiaochan, "This time you come out with me, do you have any special advice from Brother Donkey?" ”

Wang Xiaochan thought for a while, "I didn't say anything in particular, just said that let's obey orders and listen to commands, and be smart in everything...... Hey, Lao Feng, is there anything else? ”

"No, that's all," Feng Yong said.

I nodded.

"Brother, what are you worried about?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Nothing", I closed my eyes.

To do feng shui things, it is not that the more people there are, the better, on the contrary, the more important the matter, the more people cannot be many. Shen Qing brought eight bodyguards last time, but this time she only brought two, that's what it means. But if you look at our team on the other hand, two of the four people don't know how to do math. Feng Yong can drive and fight, but what about Wang Xiaochan? I really can't figure out what this girl can do.

The affairs of the Shen family are very dangerous, and bringing one more person will be one more risk, and Brother Donkey is mixed up with his brother-in-law, he will not understand this truth. In this case, he still arranged it like this, so there should be some deep meaning.

After dark, we arrived in Taiyuan.

The hotel was already booked, Shen Qing and I stayed alone, and the rest stayed in a nearby four-star hotel. I asked Shen Qing why she arranged it this way, and she said that this was the habit of the Shen family, and it was more convenient to talk about things at night.

"If Xiao Lin Ye thinks it's inappropriate, you can leave Miss Zhou behind," she said.

I thought for a while, "No need, let's follow Miss Shen's habits." ”

Living is separate, and eating is naturally separate. After settling in, Shen Qing and I went to the fine dining restaurant in the middle of the hotel and enjoyed a French meal.

"Where's that basement?" I asked.

"In the Nakajo Mountains."

"Do you know the exact location?"

"Of course I do," she smiled, "when my great-grandfather left China, he left one of his most powerful assistants to guard the basement for the Shen family. For more than 100 years, that family has lived in the Nakajo Mountains for generations and rarely comes out. A few years ago, we got in touch with them again and asked one of their descendants to act as an agent of the Shen family, buying all the land around the basement and building a factory there. ”

"Guarding the basement with a factory?" I looked at her.

"That's right," she nodded, "China is developing too fast, and if it weren't for that, that piece of land would sooner or later be occupied by someone else." ”

"Can we get there tomorrow?"

"Yes", she thought for a moment, "but if you want to enter the basement, you have to get into the day after tomorrow at the earliest." ”

I hesitated, "Miss Shen......"

"Don't call it that, we're a team now, aren't we?" She smiled, "Call me Isa, or Shen Qing, it's okay." ”

"Okay", I nodded, "Shen Qing, I have a question, are there any other treasures in the basement besides the Nine Songs Ruyi and the Star Qi Map?" ”

"Yes, if you take them all out, it would probably be worth hundreds of millions of dollars," she said.

I was stunned, "Then you let that family guard for more than a hundred years, don't you worry about them guarding and stealing?" ”

Shen Qing glanced at me, put down the knife and fork, and wiped his mouth, "There is a saying in China, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people, since my great-grandfather chose that family, he naturally trusted them." ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" I looked at her, "There's a mechanism in that basement, right?" ”

She smiled slightly, "Yes, not only are there mechanisms, but there are also ghosts inside, and ordinary people don't dare to approach them at all." ”

"Goblins?" I frowned, "Where did the ghosts come from?" ”

"Why don't you ask me, since the star map is so important, why didn't you bring it out in the first place?" She paused, "It's all about those ghosts, and there's a reason for it. ”

"Was it Jiuqu Ruyi?" I frowned.

She looked at me, "It's not appropriate to talk about this during the meal, so let's go to my room after eating, I'll show you something, and then you'll understand." ”

After eating, I followed her to my room, and she asked me to sit first, and then went into the bedroom and brought out a small box, the same one I had seen before. She came to me and sat down, opened the box and took out a picture from the surface and put it on the table, "This is the layout of the basement, look at this and tell you, you can understand." ”

I took the picture and looked at it carefully, and the basement was divided into three levels, with an inverted pyramidal layout. There are nine rooms on the first floor, four rooms on the second floor, and a huge chamber at the bottom.

"This basement was originally a treasure trove of silver coins," she said, "and the master asked my great-grandfather to vacate it and enter the bottom chamber with the Nine Songs. He told my great-grandfather that he would put some precious calligraphy and painting books in a room on the second floor, and some valuable antiques in a room on the first floor. In this way, the basement as a whole will become a feng shui array. ”

I nodded, "That's right, this basement is built according to the layout of the Nine Palaces and Four Dimensions. The nine rooms on the first floor represent the dome of the nine palaces, the four rooms on the second floor represent the backbone of the four dimensions, and the secret room on the third floor is called the treasure room, which represents the Tai Chi Wuxiang. There are mechanisms between the levels, and if you are not a master of the Five Elements and want to get close to the treasure room, it is absolutely impossible. ”

She gave a thumbs up, "Lord Xiaolin is really amazing!" ”

"It's not that I'm powerful, it's just that I heard such a legend when I was a child," I said, "This Nine Palaces and Four Dimensions is a formation in itself." Priceless treasures are placed in the four-dimensional backbone of Taiji's phaseless and valuable objects, while gold, silver, and jewelry are placed in the top nine-palace dome. Ordinary thieves don't understand this, and after taking the gold and silver treasures, they can't find the entrance to the second floor and leave. If you run into the likes of Captain Jin, then at most, you will give them the objects in the backbone of the fourth dimension. As for the Tai Chi at the bottom, there is no phase, except for the particularly powerful master of mathematics, no one else can enter at all. Because the secret passage between the second and third floors is touched by the mechanism above, it changes at any time, and it will be different each time. Since the old dragon head built this kind of basement, he must be a master of mathematics, right? ”

"He is indeed a master, otherwise how can he become a good friend with the feng shui masters on the rivers and lakes?" Shen Qing said, "The real masters are not what you can make friends with money. ”

My heart moved, "Shen Qing, since he is a master of mathematics, then he should not be able to do business, why is your Shen family still so prosperous?" ”

She looked at me, "It's our family secret, so I'm sorry I can't tell you." ”

"Oh," I felt bored, "that's fine, you go on." ”

"That's what my grandfather told me that after the basement was vacated, the master entered the secret room with Jiuqu Ruyi and his apprentice," she said, pointing to the picture, "and then my great-grandfather put a batch of calligraphy and feng shui books in a room on the second floor, including the star map. The master said that Natu has the power to suppress evil, and after being placed there for a hundred years, it is also the key for future generations to continue to seal Jiuqu Ruyi. ”

"Hmm", I nodded, "So, the ghosts in it were recruited by Jiuqu Ruyi?" ”

"I guess," she said, "my grandfather said that after Jiuqu Ruyi got out of control, ghosts began to appear around it, and they were all very difficult to deal with. The treasures and classic calligraphy and paintings in the basement are firstly to seal the Jiuqu Ruyi, and secondly, to suppress those ghosts and monsters and prevent them from running out to harm people. ”

She paused, "Grandfather said that if they come out, no matter how far the Shen family goes, they won't be able to escape their pursuit. ”

I listened calmly and didn't say anything.

"Lord Kobayashi, this matter ......"

"Call me Lin Zhuo", I said lightly, "When doing things, we don't have to be so polite." ”

"Good!" Her expression was a little solemn, "Once the basement is opened, we must not let the ghosts escape, even if one comes out, it will be a big trouble." ”

"This is natural," I said, "and it's a double-edged sword, one is a threat, and the other is protection." Assuming that the family guarding the basement had secretly opened the basement even once in the past hundred years, the Shen family would soon find out, right? ”

"Yes, it's indeed a double-edged sword", she said, "In the past hundred years, no one in the Shen family has been harmed by ghosts, so the family is loyal, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have given them that huge sum." ”

I pondered for a moment and pointed to the second layer on the map, "In this case, we have to go to the backbone of the fourth dimension first, find the star energy map, and then come out to find the formation inside." Then choose a suitable day and go in again, and set up layers of formations along the way until you reach the treasure room! ”

"That's right, after entering the secret room and finding Jiuqu Ruyi, seal it with the formation on the star qi map, and then it's done!" She said.

I looked at her, "Did you forget a little problem?" ”

She was stunned, "What's the problem?" ”

"How are we going to get out?" I said, "If we set up the layers of formations, we won't be able to go back then, and if there is no other way to leave the treasure room, then we will be sealed inside, just like the master before!" ”

"This ......," she shrugged, "I didn't think about it. ”

I was speechless, "You're not kidding, are you?" You haven't even thought about such an important thing? We're here to do something, not to die! ”
