Chapter 107: The Secret of the Chen Mansion
Chen Guogong's Mansion, between the rockeries, Ji Yun after getting up thought of the bones he had just touched, and he was shocked.
She steadied herself, crouched down, and slowly groped for the bone that had tripped her with her hands.
Ji Yun's fingers slowly moved along the bone, and the whole bone was exposed to the ground, It was nearly two feet long to the touch, and then touched it, and slowly felt the femoral head and femoral neck!
Ji Jun felt that this was an adult's femur, and the thickness of the femur was more likely to be male, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Li Zhan and Li Mi also stopped, After seeing Ji Jun's movements, they also gently used their feet to test the surroundings, what they touched under their feet, but wherever there were some bulges, or some sloppy places, they also tried to touch them, without exception, almost all of them were bones!
These bones are long and short, thick and thin. But because several people are not made of bodies, they can't tell what part of the bone is.
In particular, there are some bones that are so short that it is impossible to distinguish between human bones and animal bones.
The cool breeze gusted, Rao was accompanied by Li Zhan and Li Mi, and Ji Jun still felt a strong yin qi, which was shocking.
Ji Jun didn't dare to stay too long, she told Li Zhan and Li Mi to pick up a few small bones, and it was best to touch the bones that were relatively intact and not broken or damaged to bring them back. Ji Jun planned to ask Zhou Huan to find the work of Dali Temple to identify.
After that, the three of them continued towards the lake.
Along the way, Ji Yunren walked more carefully and slowly, and there were still places where there were stumbles from time to time, but a few people did not stop again.
As he got closer and closer to the lake, Ji Yun felt that the Gu worms were moving extremely fiercely.
About 10 meters from the lake, there are rows of trees that form a small forest.
Ji Jun wandered around this small forest for a while, and then he felt that the Gu worm's movements were violent and uneasy.
But when the three of them quietly walked to the lake, the Gu worm's movements slowed down again.
So Ji Jun returned to the forest and carefully inspected the grove.
The trees in the forest are very ordinary, as far as the eye can see, that is, willows, pines, locust trees, poplars, peach trees, apricot trees and other common tree species. As he shuttled through the trees, Ji Jun did not find anything particularly unusual.
Ji Yun felt the information transmitted by the Gu worm while slowly moving in the forest.
Gradually, she found that in an area of about four or five meters in diameter, the Gu worms throbbed strongly.
Walking, walking, Ji Jun feels like a gossip map!
However, she doesn't know anything about the connotation of this gossip!
However, from the flower garden to this place is already a guide to gossip, is this still gossip?
Then, Ji Jun remembered the meaning of the five elements:
Gold can give birth to water, water can give birth to wood, wood can produce fire, fire can produce earth, and earth can produce gold.
Wood can overcome earth, soil can overcome water, water can overcome fire, fire can overcome gold, and gold can overcome wood.
Li Mi and Li Zhan looked around vigilantly, knowing that she was thinking about things and didn't dare to disturb her.
Ji Jun silently thought about the order of mutual growth and restraint:
Native gold - gold born water - aquatic wood - gold kemu
Between the lightning and flint, Ji Jun carefully observed the rows of trees in the forest, and she suddenly found that in the area where Gu insects were active, the trees formed a "gold" character between each other!
One is a poplar, three horizontals are willows, and the middle one is a pine!
And two points are locust trees!
Ji Yun's heart suddenly brightened!
She carefully searched the area between the two points of the word "gold" and the one vertical, that is, between the locust tree and the pine tree, and felt the movement of the Gu worm.
Sure enough, here, the Gu worm's movements were very different from those in other places.
The Gu worm seems to be desperately looking for something, trying its best to find something!
Ji Yun stopped in front of the pine tree at the end and said to Li Mi,
"Big cousin, thank you for your hard work, help me dig this place!"
Li Mi took out a sharp dagger and, according to Ji Jun's guidance, dug up the soil under the tree on the line connecting the pine tree and the locust tree near the side of the pine tree.
Digging and digging, and sure enough, when I dug about two feet deep, I found a box.
And as the soil was gradually peeled off and removed, the Gu worm's movements became more and more violent! Very uneasy and excited!
The wooden box is about five inches long, three inches wide, and three inches high, and the wood is heavy.
The moment the wooden box was in his hand, Ji Jun felt that the Gu worms in his body suddenly jumped continuously like crazy, this feeling made Ji Jun very uncomfortable, almost fainting!
Ji Yun hurriedly held his breath and condensed, secretly calming his mind, trying to communicate with the Gu worm with his own thoughts, and the Gu worm may have also adapted to the exposure of the wooden box, and gradually calmed down.
Ji Jun instructed Li Mi to pile up the excavated soil pit with soil as it was, and at the same time did not forget to cover it with some branches and weeds.
The three of them did not dare to delay and quickly left Chen Guogong's mansion.
In summer, when it was early in the morning, when Li Mi quietly sent Ji Jun back to Danguiyuan, it was still dark.
Ji Jun tidied up a little, and it was a little cloudy.
Ji Xun heard the movement and came to Ji Jun's room with his clothes on.
When Ji Yun saw Ji Chen's expression, she knew that she must not have slept well last night, and thinking of the abnormal movements of the Gu worms on her body, it was estimated that it would also affect Ji Chen's sleep.
The detoxified Gu worms on Ji Chen's body are separated from Ji Yun's body, so that because the "Portuguese Ripple" Gu poison may fluctuate in the body due to the body's emotions, physical condition, or external impacts, such as weather changes, sudden shocks, etc., there will be inductions between Gu and Gu.
But to a large extent, it is Ji Xun who is affected by Ji Yun, and Ji Xun is not easy to affect Ji Jun.
However, it seems that although Ji Chen's complexion is not good, he is still energetic, and his speech is not particularly weak, and his heart is a little calm.
Seeing Ji Chen's worried expression, Ji Jun patted her hand with some pity and comforted,
"Don't worry, didn't my sister come back safely? The eldest cousin also went back to rest! This time we were unexpectedly smooth and very rewarding! ”
When Ji Chen heard this, his brows stretched a little.
Ji Yun saw that the sky was already very bright, and the tension and excitement were not too strong, so he was not very sleepy, so he simply chatted with Ji Xun for a while, and when it was dawn, he would eat something together and then go to make up for sleep.
Ji Jun suddenly remembered something and asked Ji Xun,
"Hey, why are there two lakes in Chen Guogong's Mansion?"
The families in the capital, although some wealthy families do occupy a relatively large courtyard, but they generally build a lake. And it is rare to have two lakes like Chen Guogong's Mansion, one large and one small.
Even if there may be a larger puddle in another place, the pit is filled and the other lake is enlarged.
It is said that in the cognition of the Great Zhou people, "water" represents "wealth"!
The lake water indicates that where a mansion gathers wealth, it is willing to "gather wealth in one place" rather than "divide wealth into two places".
"Wealth in two places" means that the family is uneasy, and even the husband and wife are discordant, and the brothers are estranged.
In particular, the lake is not worth sightseeing, which is really strange.
Ji Chen frowned and thought about it, and said,
"I remember when I was a child, I once heard my grandmother mention that the mother of the old Chen Guogong is the grandmother of Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin. When I was older, I had a serious illness, and after I recovered from the illness, I was like a child, I liked to play, especially water, I loved fishing, and I had to catch big fish. Old Chen Guogong is very filial to his mother, and he can be regarded as a colorful entertainer! Old Chen Guogong often sent people to buy fish from the market, or specially sent people to the larger rivers in the suburbs to catch larger fish, so that people could put them in the lake of Chen Guogong's mansion. The next person accompanied the old lady to fish. ”
Ji Jun thought that in his previous life, he read reports that some wealthy families chartered the entire theater, and the entire performance team only performed for one family.
Here, Chen Guogong gave the whole lake to his mother to play.
It seems that no matter what era, local tyrants can be willful!
But in this way, Chen Guogong's mansion was full of fishy smell, and there was that fishy smell everywhere.
Over time, the old Duchess Chen Guo was a little dissatisfied.
Moreover, some of the noblewomen and ladies who came to Chen Guogong's Mansion as guests also laughed at Chen Chen's Mansion because of this, saying that it was like entering a fishing village when they came here.
Later, after thinking about it, the old Chen Guogong asked people to dig out another place, introduce the current, and build an artificial lake, which was specially used to raise some fish for the old lady, and then the next person accompanied the old lady to fish here to spend time.
Ji Jun thought for a while and said,
"It seems that old Chen Guogong is still quite filial."
Ji Xi nodded and said,
"Indeed it is! It is said that the old Chen Guogong is very good to his mother. This old lady especially likes the son Chen Jia, Chen Jia often accompanies the old lady to fish there, and the grandfather and grandson are very close. But after Chen Jia left, the old lady became ill and soon went with her grandson. Old Chen Guogong was very sad and often went to the lake to mourn and remember his mother and son, and over time, the lake remained its original state. Even if the old Chen Guogong was gone, the lake was not taken care of too carefully, so it was preserved. ”
Ji Yun said secretly, no wonder, although it is a mansion, but when you get there, you feel particularly secluded and desolate.
Ji Jun asked a little puzzled,
"Who goes to that lake on weekdays?"
Anyway, they were invited to the banquet at Chen Guogong's mansion that day, but they didn't hear of anyone going there.
According to the arrangement of Chen Guogong's mansion, it is impossible to take guests there to play.
If you enter by mistake, even those delicate ladies will already be frightened and scream! It's impossible not to know!
Ji Xi shook his head and frowned slightly,
Although this lake is also another landscape of Chen Guogong's mansion, no one is allowed to step into it. Even some of the shameless aunts and ladies of the house, or the sons, are not allowed to go there to play and laugh wantonly. It is said that it is the worry that disturbs the soul of the old lady. ”
Ji Jun thought of the bones found in the rockery last night, and couldn't help but think to himself, was he worried about disturbing the old lady, or was there another secret there that could not be known?
According to Chen Guogong's power, even if he secretly rubs and executes a handful of people, it should not be difficult to destroy the corpse. Why is it so exposed in the house?
Could it be that these exposed bones are of any other use?
It can't be a ritual, right?
Ji Jun thought of something for a moment, but he didn't catch it.
She thought for a moment and asked,
"You mean that the old lady likes her eldest son Chen Jia very much, right?"
Ji Xi nodded yes,
It is said that Chen Jia is loyal and upright, and he is bold and generous, righteous and squandering money, and has a good reputation in the circle of noble sons in the capital. But I don't know about the rest, so you might as well ask your eldest cousin. ”
"Miss!" Seeing that the two young ladies were not sleepy, Haitang simply chatted with them more, but when they were sleepy during the day, she guarded them again.
So Begonia Road,
"The slave has heard some rumors about the Chen Guogong Mansion!"
