Chapter 36: The Master of Hu Tang and the Secret Room
The wind was a little cold, but it promoted the progress of warmth.
Hu Tao sat on Qing's lap, leaning on Qing's arms with her back, flipping through the notebook in her hand, while explaining to Qing the wedding process she had planned.
The calligraphy and paintings on the book have long been dense, and almost every small process related to the wedding, Hu Tao has recorded three or four plans. Of course, there are a few of them that are more similar to the business of the Afterlife, so Qing Hao persuaded her, which dispelled her thoughts.
"That's pretty much it."
He Qing discussed all the processes, Hu Tao nodded with satisfaction, put the book into his arms with his backhand, and continued to speak: "By the way, the master of the hall has already made the wedding dress a few days ago and secretly hid it in the house, do you want to take a look?" ”
"The wedding dress is ready?"
Hearing this, Qingqing's face was surprised, and then he frowned slightly, and said with some emotion: "You said a few days ago that the inspiration in the dust song pot was not enough, and you had to go to the room of the Afterlife Hall alone to retreat and write poems, is it just to secretly make wedding clothes?" ”
"Nice reasoning."
Hu Tao raised his hand without denying it, gently pinched Qing's somewhat serious cheek, then stood up, hugged Qing's arm and continued: "Let's go, take you to see the craftsmanship of the hall master." ”
Shaking his head a little helplessly, Qing was pulled all the way by Hu Tao to the door of the house, and then looked at Hu Tao who opened the door with the key in his hand, and couldn't help but wonder: "Speaking of which, I didn't see the clothes in the house when I came here last time, did you still hide the clothes?" ”
"How could the master of the hall let you find out so easily?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao opened the door quite proudly, then pushed open the door of the house, and walked in slowly, and then continued to speak: "Go and see the wardrobe." ”
Looking at Hu Tao who closed the door with his backhand, Qing turned around and opened the wardrobe located in the corner, and there were only two robes monotonously in the ample space, which looked like they hadn't been used for a while.
"Is it that simple for the main hall master to hide things?"
Hu Tao watched Qing's movements, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, slowly walked to Qing's side, reached out and grabbed the cabinet, and then pushed to the left.
It didn't seem to take much effort, and the wardrobe, which looked like it was a little heavy, was slowly pulled open, revealing the wooden door behind it.
Seeing this scene, Qing's eyes couldn't help but widen, and then he said helplessly: "You also built a secret room in order to hide your clothes?" ”
"This is a place that only the masters of the Hall of the Past Generations know, and there are some ancient books in the Hall of the Dead Hall."
Hu Tao raised his hand and touched his hat, then turned around and took Qing's hand, chuckled and continued: "Walking in here, it means that you are the person of the hall master, are you afraid?" ”
"Then I'm going to have to hurry."
Looking at the halo in the plum blossom eyes, Qing then laughed, also grasped the softness in his hand, and then continued to speak: "I don't dare to let go." ”
"Hee-hee, then you really need to hurry."
Hu Tao shook his arm, turned around and pulled Qing to push open the wooden door, and walked inside.
Pushing open the wooden door, you will be greeted by a staircase leading to the bottom, surrounded by a special kind of mahogany, and at the same time spreading a rather fragrant fragrance, giving people the feeling that it is not a secret passage to the secret room, but more like a delicate and elegant retreat.
The two of them walked about a few dozen steps, and the secret passage that was not very long finally reached the end, where there was still a wooden door that was hidden, but it seemed that it could not hide the brilliance behind it.
Standing here, Qing turned his head to look at the upward secret passage, then turned his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really an exquisite and wonderful design, it's like walking into the Peach Blossom Spring, which makes me look forward to what this secret room looks like." ”
Looking at Qing's amazed appearance, the corners of Hu Tao's eyes were crooked, and she remembered the first time she followed her grandfather, she was the same at that time, and her grandfather at that time also looked at her like she is now.
"Let's go inside."
Feeling the warmth transmitted in his hand, Hu Tao stretched out his other hand and gently pushed open the door in front of him, and with the opening of the wooden door, Qing's eyes flashed with different brilliance, and gradually unfolded.
The murmuring water, which is drawn from the waterfall on the edge of the Death Hall, converges into a lake in the underground space, surrounding the island in the middle.
Imagine the Chinese network
The small bridge is elegant, and the small blue bamboo bridge connects this place with the small island, and the water under the bridge is constantly flowing, which is a natural atmosphere.
And in the middle of the top of this mountain rock, a jade stone with a large head that cannot be seen clearly is suspended there, and at the same time, it continuously emits a light like day, directly illuminating this underground space perfectly.
Turning his head to look at Qing's face full of shock, Hu Tao was very satisfied and pulled Qing onto the small bridge, listening to the sound of running water under his feet, and said: "I heard grandpa say that this place was built more than three hundred years ago, and it was presided over by a guest secretary at that time. ”
"Keqing?"
Hearing this, Qing nodded slightly, then raised his head, squinting his eyes at the sun-like jade in the sky, he could feel a very familiar aura from it, which made him chuckle and shake his head.
"Don't stare all the time, it's not good for your eyes."
Hu Tao raised his hand to cover Qing's eyes, and continued to speak: "Speaking of which, Mr. Zhongli is the descendant of that Keqing, you must know that the Keqing has helped the Afterlife Hall a lot, but not long after the construction of this place, he left a letter and disappeared. ”
Raising his hand and grabbing the little hand in front of him, Qing pulled Hu Tao and continued to walk forward, and then said with a chuckle: "You can build this secret room that doesn't look like a secret room at all under the noses of the General Affairs Department and Yue Haiting, and the difficulty is indeed extremely high." ”
"Hmph, the hall master has forgotten that someone is not only a guest of our Afterlife Hall now, but also an assistant of the Yuehai Pavilion."
Hu Tao pouted softly, glanced at Qing with a slight smile, and then continued to ask, "Is Mr. Qing going to your A-Qing to report us?" Your A-Qing is exactly in charge of this. ”
Looking at Qing, who was about to answer, Hu Tao patted Qing's chest with a smile, pulled Qing to speed up and walked towards the front and said, "The hall master has found that it is getting more and more fun to tease you, my Mr. Qing." ”
Pulled by Hu Tao to speed up his pace, Qing looked at Hu Tao's brisk back, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
