"It's still hard for me to believe that the mansion itself could be such a big institution, how much manpower and material resources will be spent on this, and what's the point?" Ding Ruoyan was still incredulous, "Don't tell me that she did so many things just to hide herself at this time." ”

"It's hard for me to believe logically, but it might be true. Su Mu replied solemnly, "You look carefully at your feet, you just came from the back garden, there are almost all suspended boardwalks instead of stone paths all the way here, and the pavilions are also built on wooden foundations, which is different from many buildings I have seen except for the Four Seas Inn, and even seems a little abrupt." But if it's for the sake of building Karakuri, it makes sense. ”

At this point, Su Mu has roughly straightened out his thoughts. Many of the previous details in retrospect can also prove his inference.

For example, why he had to be guided by a butler during the activities in the Situ Mansion, or why he was sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a doorman of the East Palace after only living in the Situ Mansion for such a short time, including the subtle sense of disobedience when he entered and exited the back garden.

In fact, he had more evidence to prove that the entire Situ Mansion was a huge movable Karakuri, but he couldn't say it in front of the two of them.

Because from a high altitude, the entire mansion occupies a square with an inner and outer ring, and the distribution of its houses also builds a strange pattern.

This is very similar to the lines on the Taibai True Meaning Box.

Su Mu even wondered who was the person who had created such a huge and delicate Clever Mansion, the Taibai True Meaning Box was a precious thing that no one had ever obtained privately, and it could have similar patterns to such an ingenious treasure, which was enough to prove what kind of profound skills the person who built it had.

What is not clear now is, what is the purpose of Situ Jing's this?

If you just want not to be discovered by outsiders, you don't need to go to such a big deal at all, you just need to build a dark room under the attic. Why do you need to do such a big project?

As for the construction of such a large outer ring market, it is even more difficult to understand.

Su Mu couldn't help but shake his head, he had a peculiar feeling at this time. The whole Luo Jing was like a huge spider's web, and the deeper he went, the closer he got to the center of the vortex, the closer he was to the real danger.

But will Su Mu stop there? Of course not.

For Su Mu, it is better to make mistakes than to do nothing.

"In other words, the master pavilion of the Situ Mansion may be somewhere in the inner circle of the center, right?" Feng Lin asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but it's more likely. Su Mu responded, "But I have a feeling that the location of the main pavilion may be near the northeast corner of the inner circle." ”

"Northeast corner?

"I don't know, it's probably just a feeling, try your luck. Su Mu prevaricated and didn't go into details.

Because the convergence port of the Taibai True Intention Box to release the Qi of Heaven and Earth is exactly in the corresponding position of the box surface pattern, if the renovation of Situ's Mansion is really related to the Taibai True Meaning Karakuri Box, then the most core part should also be in a similar position.

"In that case, let's hurry up. Ding Ruoyan said coldly, "But we have to be careful not to make too much movement, and there are a large number of guards patrolling further inside, and I can already hear their footsteps." ”

"Do you still have any incense for the soul, or shall I make them lose their minds for a while?" Feng Lin suggested.

"No, there's really nothing left. Su Mu waved his hand helplessly, "We can only be careful ourselves." However, I glanced at it when I was high in the air just now, although the number of these guards is large, but the route is all around the inner circle in the opposite direction, and there are about two gaps between each group of guards, as long as you see the right time, you should not be discovered. ”

"Isn't it, you can see it clearly just now in such a short time and so far away?" Feng Lin didn't know how many times he was surprised by this little guy he just met today.

The two of them were already in the air at a height of more than ten meters, and it would be good to be able to see the whole picture of the mansion under the double cover of night and rain, and this person even figured out the number and movement of the guards clearly.

Not to mention how terrifying this vision was, how did he manage to absorb so much information in an instant?

Calming down, under the leadership of Su Mu, the three of them crept between the mansions, skillfully avoiding the guards' route, grasping the blind spot in their field of vision, and marching all the way to the northeast corner.

"Shaoxia, don't look at this Luojing is so big, in fact, the repair is square, each street is arranged horizontally and vertically, crisscrossing and constructing Luojing's sixteen horizontal streets and sixteen vertical markets. In addition, I also heard that when Emperor Taizu rebuilt Luojing, he deliberately asked a feng shui master to observe the dragon veins here, and built the palace at the place where the dragon veins converge, which is exactly east of the entire Dongzhou. All the other markets and houses were arranged according to the meticulous measurements of the Karakuri after the location of the palace had been determined. Therefore, the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest also correspond to the four directions of the Dongzhou continent. ”

The feng shui master also specially explained that Luojing's street market must be arranged in strict accordance with such rules in order to keep the dragon veins intact, and the prosperity of the Liu dynasty is also closely related to the Luojing's planning. ”

At this time, Su Mu was extremely glad that the horseman who sent him to the Four Seas Inn was a big-mouthed Jingcheng Tong, and he talked a lot about Luojing's customs along the way.

Su Mu knew very well that he was coming from the West Gate, so the direction of the opposite city gate should be due east. In this way, you will not be wrong in judging the relative orientation of the Cheese Mansion.

After passing through the six courtyard gates, Su Mu and the three finally came to the northeast area of the inner circle of the mansion. The layout is also modeled after the classic garden style of Tunan, with the three-storey pavilion cleverly hidden behind two or three rockeries, and its vague shadow can only be seen in the distance at night.

Without a doubt, this is the core of the master's pavilion.

"It should be here. Su Mu said in a low voice, "Otherwise, you don't have to go to great lengths to hide so deeply." ”

"Still a little hard to figure it out. Since the Situ family wants to hide the master's pavilion, they will directly build it here early in the morning, why let you know that the master's pavilion is near the back garden of the secret passage exit first, and then transfer it over?" Feng Lin also muttered in a low voice.

"I don't know, I guess it's not just to hide from us, there must be some other purpose. Su Mu said as he grasped the gap of a guard and quickly ran towards the rockery.

"It's not so much a pavilion, it's more like a switch?" Su Mu thought to himself.
