Chapter Ninety-Four: Bai Qingshan
Chen Mo can rest for a while after dealing with the internal troubles of the Chen family, and the following matters can be handed over to Bai Luoyang to deal with, but logically speaking, he should relax his mood, but his heart is still panicked.
While worrying about Yan Qi, I was a little nervous by that dream.
"Family master, Da Chang, no, there is a secret passage behind Chen Hongfei's room, but we don't know how to open it, here to inform you, do you want to go and see?"
The man named Jiang He before ran forward to report the situation to Chen Mo, and he wanted to say that the Great Elder remembered that he was dead, and changed it to Chen Hongfei when he came to his mouth.
"There's a secret passage? I'll take a look. ”
"Deal with his house about the same, you go and clean up the rest of the people's houses, then you leave it to me."
After explaining Jiang He, Chen Mo opened his legs and walked towards the residence of the Great Elder, it was better to be busy, at least he wouldn't be cranky when he was busy.
Compared to Chen Mo's room, the Great Elder's room is obviously more magnificent, and those who come here don't know that they still think that the real person in charge of the Chen family is the Great Elder, it seems that the Great Elder has really been too laissez-faire over the years.
Chen Mo stepped forward and clasped the wall with his fingers, hearing an echo from inside, it seemed that the Great Elder's secret passage should be behind this wall.
Chen Mo didn't want to forcibly break this wall, after all, after breaking the wall, the whole house would have to be overturned and renovated.
So Chen Mo chose a stupid method, and little by little he tried to see where the mechanism was.
On one side of the wall is a very tall bookshelf, this bookshelf is taller than Chen Mo, and there is a blank space next to it, which was pasted with a map by the Great Elder, the Great Elder has a hobby of studying the territory of the region, which is known to the Chen family, so Chen Mo did not pay attention to the map, and turned his head to look at the bookshelf.
There are even some lone books on the bookshelf mixed with other books, it seems that the Great Elder has really a lot of treasures in his hands over the years, at least some of these books are something that Chen Mo has never seen, Chen Mo is keen to learn new things from books, he always feels that he is not strong enough, so these books are in his arms, and those lone books swept from the bookshelf and they were all put away by him.
However, because these lone books were interspersed in the middle of the rest of the books, there was an empty piece in the middle, and the other books fell to one side, and Chen Mo could also see the things behind the bookshelf blocked by the books.
That piece is not obvious, if it weren't for Chen Mo's sharp eyes, I'm afraid he would have skipped it directly at a glance, and a square suddenly opened on the complete cabinet.
Chen Mo tentatively pressed it with his hand, and the square was really pressed.
The grid recessed, and a staircase emerged from under the hollow wall, directly connected to the bottom.
Chen Mo walked down without suspicion, and after the stairs went down for a while, there was a narrow passage, and then when he went up, he was behind the wall.
There were candle stands on both sides, Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames appeared on his fingertips, he lit the candles one by one, and the room instantly brightened.
This secret room is not very big, there are boxes on both sides, and there are rare treasures that the Great Elder has found for so many years, to be honest, the number of these collections is more than Chen Mo's.
There was a desk in the center of the room, on which were neatly coded letters, Chen Mo simply opened a few letters, which were nothing more than the connections between the Great Elder and other families, he put away the letters, there was the official seal of the Great Elder, and the font was also the font of the Great Elder, and it would be hung on the task wall on the mountain when the time came, so that everyone could see the scandal of the Great Elder.
When Chen Mo was collecting something, he accidentally touched a letter, and when he bent down to pick it up, he suddenly found a piece of paper attached to the back of the table.
Did the Great Elder deliberately post it here or did he forget it?
Chen Mo ripped off the paper with doubts, it should have been torn from the book, but the paper was seriously yellowed, obviously a long, long time ago.
Chen Mo first looked at the time written on the page of the diary, and the specific time was not written on the page, but it was written 40 years later.
Chen Mo continued to look at the content below, but this look made his eyes widen in horror.
40 years later, the Chen family entered the first problem, the Chen family was in danger, the woman brought back by Chen Mo died, Chen Mo had no intention of the Chen family, and he could seize power.
Seeing the content on this piece of paper, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that Yan Qi didn't follow him when he came back this time, the surprised look in the eyes of the Great Elder, it turned out that he had been waiting for Yan Qi to leave for a long time, thinking that he had finally met the opportunity to be able to dream of the top position. But I don't know when the date mentioned on this piece of paper started, could it be that Yan Qi's life and death are really this time? Chen Mo almost didn't dare to imagine, if this was not the case, if the content on this piece of paper was true, he couldn't imagine what Yan Qi would look like, maybe it was really as said on the paper, he didn't care about the Chen family's affairs, so he naturally gave people who wanted to seek power to take advantage of the loopholes.
Chen Mo looked at the piece of paper back and forth several times, almost trying to find the flowers, but he didn't see any record of time, and finally put the paper away worriedly.
At this time, he had no intention of checking Chen Hongfei's secret room again, he called Jiang He to deal with the treasures about the Great Elder, and the people of the Chen family each got the same, as for the elders, they were divided into three things, and the rest were received in the Chen family's warehouse.
After dealing with all this silence, he hurriedly left from the residence of the Great Elder, he went to find Si Ye, Chen Mo had too many questions in his heart, about that dream, about the content of this paper, and then thinking of Si Ye's calm eyes at that time, he felt that Si Ye would definitely know.
There was no shadow of Si Ye in the mountains, Chen Mo guessed that he should have taken Fang Qingluan to play at the bottom of the mountain, after all, there were still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Qingluan had mentioned before that he wanted to make his own moon cakes, and Si Ye should have taken her away at this time.
Chen Mo always couldn't calm down, he was irritable to death when he thought of the content on the paper, and felt that time passed really slowly, so in desperation, he played a set of Tai Chi meditation.
I don't know if it's because my mind is too chaotic, but Tai Chi, which was originally played well, turned out to be faster and faster, and the movements became more and more aggressive, and gradually evolved into Wing Chun.
After finishing a set, Chen Mo's breath panted slightly, but he was just a little tired physically, but he was not relieved at all.
Bai Luoyang was originally training those people who were recruited from the Ouyang family, but he was pulled out by Chen Mo in the middle of the training, I don't know what kind of style Chen Mo smoked today, and he actually took the initiative to teach her martial arts.
Bai Luoyang naturally couldn't ask for it, when he wanted Chen Mo to teach him martial arts before, Chen Mo always fooled him with two tricks and slipped away, not caring at all, not to mention taking the initiative to ask him to go, except for the first time, he never had it after that.
Therefore, Bai Luoyang cherished this opportunity very much, and after instructing those newcomers, he followed Chen Mo to another training ground.
The disciples who were training on this side naturally couldn't sit still, they wanted to see what Bai Luoyang and Chen Mo's strength was like, and they always felt that when they were in Ouyang's house before, Chen Mo didn't show his real strength.
However, after only watching it for a short while, they felt that something was wrong, because Bai Luoyang was almost beaten unilaterally.
Every time he put Bai Luoyang down, Chen Mo took a long breath, then beckoned to Bai Luoyang and beckoned him to come again.
After a few times in a row, Bai Luoyang lay on the ground, looking at the sky, the whole person was stunned, how could there be such a style? This is clearly abusing him!
"Come on."
"You practice by yourself, I won't come with you, how can you teach people like this, you are obviously beating."
When he heard that Chen Mo was going to come again, Bai Luoyang immediately got up from the ground and ran to the stage, grabbing his clothes with both hands, and protecting himself to the death, as if he was afraid that Chen Mo would force him.
Chen Mo also noticed the group of little brothers watching next to him, seeing that their eyes were full of curiosity, he kindly asked them, "Which of you will practice with me?" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone who had been watching with relish instantly dispersed like birds and beasts, and they all returned to their original positions, and set up their horses with peace of mind.
"."
In this way, Chen Mo had no intention of practicing anymore, walked to the stage, picked up the bottle and poured a mouthful of water, and the rest of the water was poured from his head.
Bai Luoyang looked at him like this and knew that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you? Is it because of Yanqi's matter? Don't worry, in a few days, she will be able to contact us. ”
Bai Luoyang thought that Chen Mo was worried about whether Yan Qi was doing well in the ghost market, so he comforted him.
Chen Mo didn't know whether to talk to Bai Luoyang about this matter, and after thinking about it for a long time, he took Bai Luoyang to the back mountain, took out the paper from the space, and handed it to Bai Luoyang.
"From the time I was born to the present, the only woman I brought back to the Chen family is Yan Qi, so it is clear who is talking about above."
Bai Luoyang was also shocked when he saw the content on the paper, because it was exactly the same thing he had predicted.
However, the more he looked at the content of the paper, the more familiar it became, and he immediately thought about where he had seen it.
"Are you saying it's true? If so, can it be changed? ”
When the words came to his lips, Bai Luoyang wanted to tell Yan Qi's body about his body, but when he thought of it, Fang Qingluan's entrustment swallowed the words again, after all, this was a matter for the two of them, since Yan Qi chose not to say it, there must be a reason for Yan Qi, and he still had to respect Yan Qi's decision.
"Fate can definitely change, and as for this thing on paper, I don't know if it's true or not."
"You touch my bones for me."
Hearing Chen Mo ask this, Bai Luoyang was simply a hundred thousand rejections in his heart, and he would definitely know the true situation when he touched his bones, but how could he tell Chen Mo?
However, he couldn't refuse Chen Mo, so he could only take off his gloves and grab Chen Mo's hand.
Countless pictures were fast-forwarded in Bai Luoyang's mind, but when he didn't see anything deeper, Bai Luoyang felt that the jade pendant on his chest burned him, and his bones were broken.
"I can't see anything further yet, but there is nothing to do in Yanqi this year."
Bai Luoyang didn't lie about this, because his bone was interrupted by the outside world, he naturally didn't see what happened afterward, and Chen Mo didn't doubt it.
Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded and patted Bai Luoyang's shoulder, "I'll go first."
Chen Mo, who left, didn't notice that Bai Luoyang behind him grabbed the jade pendant on his chest and fell into deep thought, above it was an old man holding a child, this jade pendant had never moved in the decades that Bai Luoyang had carried, but it suddenly burned today, could it be the warning given to him by his grandfather?
When I was thinking about it, I didn't expect Chen Mo to go and return, it turned out that Chen Mo left the previous piece of paper here with him, and he came back this time to take the paper.
Why does that piece of paper feel so familiar to me?
What was my grandfather's sudden warning to me?
Bai Luoyang was puzzled in his heart, and returned to the room with doubts, lying on the bed, constantly thinking.
It was getting dark outside, Si Ye and Fang Qingluan finally came back, and the two of them carried a lot of things in large bags and small bags, it seems that this time they went out not only to buy raw materials for making moon cakes, but also to buy a lot of clothes and jewelry for Fang Qingluan.
At this time, Fang Qingluan had two big pearls on his ears, which were strangely good-looking.
"Si Ye, I have something to do with you."
After getting the news that the person was coming back, Chen Mo waited at the gate in a hurry, and before Si Ye could step into the door, he was pulled away by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo pulled Si Ye to a place where no one was around, and showed the piece of paper to Si Ye.
Si Ye only glanced at it, and then retracted his gaze, it is excusable that this thing can appear, and even said that this thing still has his handwriting, and the person behind him deliberately let the Great Elder find out at that time, but he didn't expect the Great Elder to stay, and it was also taken by Chen Mo.
"Do you know something? You were able to rescue me from the ground at that time, and asked me to save Yan Qi, can you see the aftermath, is this piece of paper true? ”
"Heaven must not be divulged."
Si Ye shook his head, leaving only one sentence, and left, Chen Mo was messy in the wind alone.
Because of the entangled matter all day long, Chen Mo didn't cook dinner, to be precise, Chen Mo has been unintentional about these things after Yan Qi left, and in the end, it was Gu Yue who called the food from the Chen family's canteen, although the food cooked in the Chen family's canteen was also very delicious, but it was a bit ordinary compared to what Chen Mo made.
A few people were eating a little absentmindedly, Bai Luoyang was still thinking about the two questions, and he actually picked up his jade pendant at the dinner table to watch.
However, because the jade rope on his neck was a little twisted, this time it was the back that picked up the jade pendant, and when he saw the words left by Bai Qingshan on the back, he suddenly felt that he had solved a mystery.
He stood up suddenly, startling a few people who were eating.
"Bai Luoyang, just eat, why are you so excited? Corpse deceit! ”
Gu Yue scolded Bai Luoyang, on weekdays, the two of them are like happy enemies, and in this case, they will choke each other a few words, but Bai Luoyang was not in the mood to deal with him at this time, and ran to Chen Mo's side in two steps.
"Brother Chen, I remembered, why did I feel that the page you showed me was so familiar?"
"Look at this jade pendant, is the font left by my grandfather exactly the same as the font on that piece of paper?"
Chen Mo heard that he picked up Bai Luoyang's jade pendant and looked at it, although the words on it were engraved on the seal, it could still be clearly seen that it was the same as the words on the paper he picked up.
In order to be more accurate, he even took out the piece of paper and compared it with the jade pendant, and there was no difference at all.
This piece of paper was written down by Bai Luoyang's grandfather, Bai Qingshan, is this what he predicted?
