This garden is square as a whole, on the east side is a set of three in and three out of the big courtyard, the decoration is elegant, many peach trees are planted on both sides of the courtyard against the wall, the peach blossoms are brilliant at the moment, the warbler flies and butterflies dance, it seems that this should be the residence of the owner of the garden. On the west side is also a set of gardens, although the decoration is also quite exquisite, but compared to the east of the courtyard, it is still a lot worse, this should be the residence of the younger generations of the guest king. In the middle of the garden is a pool of lake water in the west, rippling waves, there are white ducks floating on it, there is an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake, the pavilion divides into three stone bridges to lead to the courtyard on the east and west sides respectively, and the stone bridge to the north leads to the five elements hall.

???? The corpse demon led the three of them to introduce them door to door, and according to Li Che, we have to call them chatterheads. Entering the south side of the garden from the freezer, the chatter pointed to a house to the west, "This is the wood house I am talking about, there must be something strange about this place." ”

???? The three of them paused and looked at each other, and Li Che said, "Go in and have a look, see what's weird." "I pushed open the door of the room first, although the talking ghost thought that this was a firewood room, but this was not a firewood room, to be exact, this should be a kitchen, the room was neatly arranged, pots and pans were readily available, clean and placed, not at all like it had not been touched for a thousand years, but as if it had been used every day. The three of them searched carefully, but they didn't see anything strange at all.

???? Li Che said: "Talker, you shouldn't be nonsense." There's nothing unusual about this place. ”

???? The chatter ghost did not enter the room, and said hurriedly: "Impossible, there must be something abnormal in this place, just like the entrance of the cave and the Five Elements Palace, there is a seal, and I can't enter." Look closely.

???? When the three of them heard this, they searched through the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and corners, but they didn't find the slightest.

???? Facing Li Che's angry questioning, the chatter spread his hands and said: "The facts I said, if you can't find it, you can't blame me." ”

Gong Liu said: "Don't pay attention to this place for now, let's go to the main hall first." ”

Li Che turned his head and shouted at the chatterbox: "What are you stunned about? Why don't you lead the way? The head is made of elm? I can't understand people, do you?"

The chatter listened to the scolding, and the angry seven orifices smoked, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he only said stupidly: "It would be nice if I had an elm head, but unfortunately I don't even have an elm head." Drift to the front and lead the way for the three of them.

Zhao Qian patted Li Che's shoulder and gave him a big thumbs up, but Gong Liu just smiled stupidly.

The three of them walked along the small stone road by the lake until the north, passing by the smaller wing house on the west side, and the three of them went in again to search, but they found nothing. The chatterbox suggested that you take a tour of the pavilion in the center of the lake, or you can go to the Five Elements Hall through the stone bridge that leads to the north through the pavilion. The three of them had no objection, and went up from the stone bridge in the west wing.

This lake is about four or five miles in circumference, not very big, but in this courtyard is big enough, the rippling green waves look a little dazzling, occasionally a group of ducks go into the water and float over, swinging a circle of ripples, the scene is a unique scene, but a few people have no mood to enjoy the scenery, all hurriedly go to the pavilion in the center of the lake.

The north and south directions of this lake are long, and the east and west directions are shorter, and the three of them arrived at the central pavilion in just three minutes. When the three of them arrived at the Five Elements Palace, Li Che couldn't wait to go in to find out, but was pulled by Gong Liu.

"There is something abnormal in this place, I can sense that there are dense elements of the five elements, don't rush into it first. Gong Liu turned his head to look at Zhao Qian again, "The last time the old gentleman came here, didn't he find anything abnormal? ”

Zhao Qianyou thought about the past carefully, shook his head and said: "There is indeed nothing abnormal, the most abnormal thing is the layout of this hall." ”

Gong Liu said again: "In that case, then let's go in." After a pause, he said, "I'll go in first, you two will follow me, and you can wait outside." ”

"I want to go in, but I can't get in either, the seal in this place is specifically for my soul body. The chatter said angrily.

Gong Liu said: "Let's go, be careful." ”

Pushing the door in, there was the stone screen, exactly as Zhao Qian said. Bypassing the screen is an open space in the hall, with five stone statues on the front side by side. "It's exactly what I expected, these five stone statues are the five ancient emperors I told you about before, and it is because of their joint efforts to build this clutch disillusionment array, saying that the two worlds are forever separated. Gong Liu pointed to the stone statue and said to Li Che.

Li Che looked at the stone statues, all of them were affectionate and dignified, and each one wore different costumes.

Gong Liu introduced: "These five top figures belong to the various factions of the Five Elements, as early as in their time, each faction still had such a level of figures, and now it is indeed the entire continent that has not had a person of this level for hundreds of years." This red-clothed Emperor is the Southern Fire God Emperor, this yellow-clothed Emperor is the Central Earth God Emperor, this white-clothed Emperor is the Western Golden God Emperor, this green-clothed Emperor is the Eastern Wood God Emperor, and this black-clothed Emperor is the Northern Water God Emperor. ”

Li Che looked at Gong Liu, pointed to the red-clothed female statue and said, "She looks like you! You should be a faction." ”

Gong Liu said: "That's right, the Fire God Emperor is our pride. ”

Li Che asked again, "Then where have they all gone now?"

Gong Liu looked at the five statues, his eyes were blank, and he muttered: "Yes, where have you all been?", turned to Li Che and said: "The emperor seems to have his own destiny, no one knows where they went, and the last time the emperor appeared was hundreds of years ago." ”

Zhao Gan had been listening to the two of them, looking at the five statues, and always felt that something was not quite right, so he said to them: "Have you noticed anything wrong with these sculptures, but you can't say." ”

When Li Che and Gong Liu heard him say this, they all looked at the stone statue together, "I know." Li Che shouted.

"What did you find?" asked Gong Liu and Zhao Qian in unison.

"Don't you see? These five statues are all looking in the same direction. Li Che walked to the long incense table in front of the statue, pointed to the incense burner and said: "The eyes of these five sculptures are all looking at this incense burner, there must be something strange about this incense burner." After that, he picked up the incense burner, and only felt that this incense burner was full of weight, enough to weigh ten catties.

Zhao Qian and Gong Liu also gathered around and carefully looked at the incense burner. The mouth is round and the belly is big, the three-legged stand up, the furnace body is densely engraved with a lot, I can't see whether it is a text or a pattern, there is a divine beast climbing on each of the three supporting legs, respectively, a dragon, a phoenix, a unicorn. "It doesn't look like an incense burner, it's like a miniature version of the stove. Li Che said.

"It looks like a tripod. Zhao Qian also agreed with Li Che's opinion.

"Is this thing anything weird? It's just a little heavier, and I don't think it's any different, it's an antique at best. Li Che said.

"Don't talk nonsense, this thing may be a peerless magic weapon, otherwise it wouldn't have ushered in the attention of the five emperors. Miyanagi mused.

"Take it to you, you can take it, even if it's a peerless magic weapon, it's useless to me. Li Che handed the furnace to Gong Liu.

Gong Liu waved his hand and refused: "No, this may be your chance, I can't ask for it." Besides, there is really nothing abnormal about this thing, and there is no fluctuation of the energy of the five elements. I suspect that this furnace tripod may just be a part of this peerless artifact. You put it away first, and we'll go to the attic on the second floor to have a look. ”

Li Che had no choice but to put the furnace in his backpack and follow Gong Liu towards the second floor.

It turns out that although Zhao Qian is old, his memory has not deteriorated in the slightest, and the layout of this two-story attic is almost the same as what Zhao Qian described before. There is a desk in the middle, on which is an oil lamp, surrounded by bookshelves, full of books, which is the style of a study.

Separately, there may be some explanation of this in these books. Gong Liu said to Li Che and Zhao Gan.

The three of them split up and walked over to the three bookshelves, poring over the books.

The chatter waited impatiently outside, and shouted outside the main hall, "Have you found anything?", but there was no response, and the three people in the attic on the second floor were immersed in shock from the book.
