Chapter 185: First Meeting
Hearing this, the coachman looked back at Zhang Tongyun in horror and said, "Miss, since there is danger, let the little one go to investigate instead of Miss!" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "I have to go over and see it in person, so that my heart is steady." You don't have to worry, I'm talking just in case! Anyway, you just do what I say! β
The coachman said, "Yes, Miss! β
Zhang Tongyun said: "You repeat what I said!" β
The driver said: "I will drive back to the intersection and wait for the young lady, if the young lady does not come back for an hour, go back immediately and tell the owner, so that the owner can send someone to come to the rescue." β
Zhang Tongyun said: "Okay, that's it!" β
Zhang Tongyun and Yinying got out of the car, and the driver immediately drove around.
The two walked for about ten feet and came to a solemn building, which was much more recessed than the other houses on the street, because there was a large banyan tree more than a hundred years old on both sides of the front of the big building.
The entire wall of the faΓ§ade of the large building is made of white marble, and there are many exquisite reliefs on it. The plaque at the main entrance of the large building is engraved with four vermilion characters: Gu Ancestral Hall.
Yinying sighed with emotion: "This ancestral hall is so magnificent, it has to catch up with the royal society and temple!" β
Zhang Tongyun took Yinying's hand and said, "Don't worry about this!" Come on, go this way! We went in through the side door! β
The silver baby asked, "Is there no one living in it?" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "There are some elderly people who live here, they are responsible for daily cleaning and worship, and they live in the courtyard at the back. There are also several warehouses in the back, which are used to store miscellaneous items and offerings, which are usually stacked separately because the offerings are flammable and explosive. If you want to imprison people here, these warehouses are the most likely places to be held! β
Yinying asked, "Why are you so familiar?" β
Zhang Tongyun said with a smile: "Because Mengbai was once punished to think about it, I came to live with him for a while. β
Yinying said enviously: "So, your relationship is really good!" β
Zhang Tongyun recalled the past, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The ancestral hall was very large, and the two walked a long distance in the alley before they came to the side door of the ancestral hall.
Zhang Tongyun was about to try to see if she could push the door open, but Yinying grabbed her hand and said, "Tongyun, I don't know if there is danger inside, let me go ahead!" β
Zhang Tongyun agreed, stepped aside, Yinying stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push the door, who knew that if his hand reached half a foot away from the door, he couldn't move forward a bit, Yinying felt strange and tried hard a few times.
Zhang Tongyun looked at it curiously and asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
Yinying said: "There is an invisible thing in front of the door, and my hand can't touch the door!" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "Such a strange ......"
Zhang Tongyun was talking, Yinying suddenly remembered something, pulled Zhang Tongyun and ran.
Zhang Tongyun asked as he ran, "What's wrong?" β
Silver Infant said: "Enchantment! This ancestral hall has been enchanted! We're exposed, we need to run! β
However, it was still too late, and after the silver babies touched the barrier, they stayed too long, and before they could run out of the alley, a person had already turned out of the alley to block their way.
Yinying immediately pulled out his dagger and blocked in front of Zhang Tongyun. Silver Baby looked closely, and it was a young man of her age who was holding a thin sword in the way. The boy is tall, strong and energetic, and is a handsome young man full of vitality.
The young man was staring at her with bright eyes, if he was in normal times, Yinying might have a good impression of him, but she was shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Zhang Tongyun at the moment, and she had already left all distracting thoughts behind.
The silver baby asked with a cold expression, "What do you want to do?" β
The boy smiled and said, "You have such a nice voice!" β
The young man replied, and Yinying frowned and asked, "Are you trying to get in our way?" β
The young man said, "Don't stop it now, let's go!" β
Silver Baby asked, "Why?" β
The boy said, "Because I like you!" β
The sudden, inexplicable confession made Silver Baby's heart beat faster, her cheeks flushed, and she stood there staring at the boy a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Tongyun snickered and pushed Yinying in the back, and Yinying immediately reacted and said, "Then let's go!" β
The young man stood aside, made way for the two of them, and said, "My name is Yang Xia, what's your name?" β
Silver Baby asked, "Why do you want to know my name?" β
Yang Xia said: "Because I hope to see you again in the future!" β
Yinying took Zhang Tongyun's hand and said as he walked: "Let's see you later!" I'm busy! β
Yang Xia asked in the back, "Are you trying to save the people inside?" β
Zhang Tongyun broke free of Yinying's hand, turned around and asked Yang Xia, "Is Mengbai really inside?" β
Yang Xia said: "The son of the Gu family is indeed trapped in it by my enchantment. β
Zhang Tongyun asked, "What are you going to do before you want to let him go?" β
Yang Xia said: "I want to know her name!" β
Silver Infant immediately said: "Silver Baby! Fu Yinying! β
Yang Xia smiled: "Silver baby! Nice name! β
Yinying pouted and asked, "Can you really let Gu Mengbai go?" β
Yang Xia said: "Of course! Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it! It's just that there's a very powerful guy in there, and we may not be able to deal with him! β
Yinying said: "Why do you have to deal with him!" You just let Gu Mengbai go secretly! β
Yang Xia said: "No, he will stay in the same room with the son of the Gu family!" β
Yinying said: "Then you lead him away, and we will save Gu Mengbai." β
Yang Xia said: "I can't lead it away, the order he got is the son of the Gu family who will not leave the Gu family an inch." β
Yinying said angrily: "Do you really have the heart to help?" β
Yang Xia said: "Of course! For your sake, I have forsaken the darkness and turned to the light! β
Yinying said: "Your position is so unfirm, maybe you will sell us when you turn around!" β
Yang Xia said: "How could it be! Helping them is for the money, helping you purely for you! β
Zhang Tongyun asked, "Young Master Yang, who hired you?" β
Yang Xia said: "The people of the Gu family! β
Zhang Tongyun asked, "What about the people inside?" β
Yang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't know!" He was silent and we couldn't communicate! But what I'm sure of is that he wasn't hired by the Gu family! β
Yinying said angrily: "Speaking of which, you didn't help at all!" β
Yang Xia flattered: "Don't be like this, Yinying!" It's not as good as this! If I disarm the enchantment technique, then the son of the Gu family will be able to use the secret technique. Maybe he can save himself! β
Zhang Tongyun asked in surprise: "What?" Can Yumehaku use secret arts? β
Yang Xia said: "Yes! That's why I'm here! β
Yinying asked, "Tongyun, don't you know?" β
Zhang Tongyun said: "Mengbai has never told me!" I'm glad though! In this way, he will not be so easily bullied! β
Yinying said: "Yang Xia, you hurry up and lift the enchantment, and then find a way to tell Gu Mengbai to see if he can find a way to come out!" β
Yang Xia didn't say a word, and immediately lifted the enchantment technique in front of Yinying.
Yang Xia said: "You wait here, I'll go in and find a way to tell the Gu family's son!" β
Yang Xia left Yinying and Zhang Tongyun to return to the ancestral hall, found paper and pen, and wrote the words "The enchantment technique has been lifted, and you can escape".
When the ink dried, Yang Xia folded the note and hid it in the palm of his hand, and came to the room where Gu Mengbai was imprisoned in the back courtyard.
There was a bed in the back of the room, and a bookshelf was placed on each side of the bed, which was full of books. There was also a small bed in the left corner of the room, and next to the small bed was a rocking chair, and next to the rocking chair was a table.
There are two people in the room, one is a white-faced scholar with a personable demeanor and elegant manners, this person is Gu Mengbai, Gu Mengbai is leaning on the bookshelf at this time and reading intently; The other was a stout, coarse-looking, filthy-looking man, lying in a rocking chair eating peanuts, and threw peanuts to the ground, and when he had finished eating them, he grabbed a handful from the basins on several cases.
These two people, one like a lotus flower out of the sludge and the other like dirty water in a ditch, worlds apart, in the same room, formed a very strong contrast.
Yang Xia walked between the two bookshelves and pretended to pick a book to read, pick one here, flip through the other, and inadvertently came to Gu Mengbai's side, lifted the book in Gu Mengbai's hand with his hand, pretended to want to know what Gu Mengbai was reading, and took the opportunity to slide the note hidden in the palm of his hand into the page that Gu Mengbai opened.
Gu Mengbai immediately closed the book, turned around and sat back on the edge of the bed, leaning against the head of the bed to continue reading. Yang Xia casually took a book and walked out of the room.
Although the person sitting in the rocking chair was eating peanuts and staring at the two of them, the two did not make any verbal or physical communication, and the person couldn't see any clues, and after Yang Xia went out, he continued to eat peanuts comfortably.
Gu Mengbai spread out the note, and after knowing the content of the note, he tried to recite the incantation silently, and a tube of purple bamboo hole flute really appeared on his left hand.
What the note said was true, Gu Mengbai was overjoyed, held the flute in his hand, and said, "Volley!" β
Gu Mengbai's body slowly rose into the air, smashed through the roof, and escaped from the room.
Gu Mengbai said: "Landing!" β
Gu Mengbai's body slowly floated down to the main ridge of the roof.
The person on the rocking chair saw Gu Mengbai rising into the air, suddenly jumped up from the rocking chair, opened the door, and jumped onto the dirt in the yard in front of the door.
At this time, the sound of the flute sounded, and the man quickly covered his ears with both hands. Still, the aftermath of the sound made the man's face contort in pain and grin.
While he was still conscious, he silently recited the incantation: "Clay Fighting Armor!" β
As soon as the man finished speaking, the dirt under his feet took the initiative to climb towards his body, covering his body tightly, and then hardening and thickening to form a piece of armor, exposing only his eyes, nose, and mouth.
After putting on the clay armor, the man's pain disappeared and he said loudly: "Yang Xia! Sunny summer! You come out! β
With the sound of the flute, Zhang Tongyun immediately said excitedly: "Mengbai! It's a dream white! It's his flute sound! β
Yinying understood Zhang Tongyun's mood, and said, "Tongyun, let's go and have a look!" β
Gu Mengbai saw that the sound of the flute had no effect on that person, so he stopped and thought about how to deal with the next situation.
"Dream White! Dream White! β
Gu Mengbai suddenly heard someone calling his name in the alley, this voice was haunting and familiar, how could Gu Mengbai hear it wrong, it was Zhang Tongyun who came!
