Chapter 271: Mr. Martha's Arrangement
The "warehouse" that Shu Yu refers to is a large house made of bluestone, with a closed black lacquer door and a large lock hanging on it, and the whole building looks very tall and majestic from the outside, and the walls are strong and thick, so it is suitable for storing goods.
Shu Yu led everyone to the front of the house, took out a copper key several inches long from his arms and inserted it into the lock hole, only to hear a "click", and the big lock on the door had been opened.
The door was opened, but it was very dark inside, because there were no windows in this house, and there was only one gate in and out.
Shu Yu said: "Everyone, please come in, the 'seven-colored peacock screen' is in this house, and Young Master Hua can see it when he enters the house." ”
As she spoke, she winked at Hua Bushi. Hua Bushi looked at it in his eyes, but he didn't move, and followed Shu Yu into the door, and Bai Yiling followed closely behind him.
A group of five people walked into the house, Zhong Bulao and Master Huang Lian fell behind, but the shopkeeper Hu stood outside the door and did not come in. This room is very deep, after entering the house, I saw a very high screen on the innermost wall of the house, but except for the screen, there is nothing else in the room, it seems a little empty.
Shu Yu, Hua Bushi, and Bai Yiling seemed to have unintentionally quickened their pace, and walked straight to the screen, and after approaching, they suddenly turned, and the three of them flashed to the back of the screen.
Zhong Bulao's eyes had been looking at the screen, but at this time, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Not good!"
He jumped to the side of the screen, but saw that there was no one behind the seven or eight high screen, Shu Yu, Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling were all gone!
And this screen, where is the treasure of the "seven-colored peacock" carved from jade, it is clearly just an ordinary screen made of wood, and it was only too dark to see clearly because the house was too dark before.
At the same time, the door behind them had been closed with a "bang", and the sound of locking came from outside the door, which must have been the good work of the shopkeeper.
The two great masters, Zhong Bulao and Master Huang Lian, were locked up in this stone house without noticing for a while!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Miss Shuyu led Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling, turned to the screen, stretched out her jade hand and pressed it on the wall, and a door only two feet wide and narrow had appeared on the stone wall.
She grabbed Young Master Hua's hand and quickly walked out of the narrow door, Bai Yiling's figure was even more flexible, and her figure jumped out of the door in a flash.
Out of the small door, he has already come to the outside of the stone house, and Shu Yu turned around and pressed it again, and in the sound of rolling, the small door quickly closed, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Hua Bushi seemed to hear the sound of the front door closing, as well as the sound of Zhong Bulao shouting from inside the stone wall.
Shu Yu said to Hua Bushi: "This stone house is specially built, the walls and door panels are very thick, now I have locked the mechanism, even if the senior Zhong and Master Huang Lian are strong in martial arts, they will not come up with it for a while." ”
Hua Bushi waved his hand and said: "Miss Shu Yu really has a clever plan to let us get out, Hua Bushi thank you for this! It's just that when they come out, it may be unfavorable to Miss, and Miss Shu Yu needs to be more careful." ”
Shu Yu smiled slightly and said: "'Qiqiao Garden' has been operating in South Australia for many years, Shu Yu is not talented, and he also has some ways to protect himself, I am not afraid that they will find trouble for me, Young Master Hua can rest assured." ”
She paused slightly, the smile on Yu's face faded, and said: "Shu Yu has known Sima Hall Master for many years, and now he has unfortunately been killed, Shu Yu is a weak woman, and she can't avenge him, so she can only entrust this matter to Master Hua." ”
Hua Bushi said: "You believe in Young Master Ben so much, aren't you afraid that Hua Bushi is only trying to plot treasures, and has no intention of looking for the real murderer and avenging Mr. Sima?"
Shu Yu's beautiful eyes flashed, looked at Hua Bushi, and said: "Shu Yu boasts that his vision is not bad, whether it is identifying antique treasures or judging things and people, he rarely makes mistakes, not to mention that Master Sima asked Hua Gongzi to come to me, he already has some trust in Gongzi, and Shu Yu should try his best to help Gongzi." ”
For women, if there is anything more rare than beauty, it is intelligence and wisdom, as well as gentleness and consideration for men. The proprietor of the "Tangram Garden" not only has a beautiful face and moon appearance, peerless elegance, but also smart and gentle, and has a family fortune, I am afraid that there are few men in this world who can resist her charm.
And the eyes of Young Master Hua Da looking at Shu Yu at this time seemed to be a little stupid.
Shu Yu's face flushed, but he smiled again, and said: "Hua Gongzi is in a hurry to get out, there must be important things to do, this is not the time to talk, Shu Yu will not leave Gongzi to delay longer." ”
Hua Bushi came back to his senses and said, "What Miss Shu Yu said is true. When he had leisure in the future, Hua Bushi decided to visit the 'Qiqiao Garden' again and made a special trip to thank the young lady. ”
Shu Yu said: "Don't dare to say thank you, if the son comes, Shu Yu will welcome him!"
There was a path behind the stone house, and Shu Yu led the way, and soon led Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling across the path to a wooden door on the back wall.
This wooden door is the back door of the "Qiqiao Garden", Shu Yu made a gesture, and the servants by the door hurriedly pulled out the bolt and pulled the two doors open.
Hua Bushi didn't say much, said goodbye to Shu Yu, and took Bai Yiling out of the back door and came on the street outside.
When he got out, it was a small street with few pedestrians, Hua Bushi looked around a few times, and then ordered Bai Yiling to find the mounts of the two.
When they went to the garden first, their horses were left on the bolted horse stake next to the front door of the "Qiqiao Garden". Bai Yiling agreed, immediately unfolded his body, and flew away.
A moment later, Bai Yiling rode back, still holding Hua Bushi's mount in his hand.
"When you went to lead the horse, were you discovered by those disciples of the 'South China Sea Sect'?" Hua Bushi asked.
Bai Yiling grinned and said: "They are all inside the gate, how can they see me?" The horses left in front, I shot a steel needle in the leg of each one, if they ride a horse to chase us, they can't run a few steps, the horse will become lame." ”
Hua Bushi said happily: "Ling'er is really clever, so we have no worries!"
He turned over and mounted his horse, lifted the reins, and said, "Let's go!"
Bai Yiling asked, "Master Gongzi, where are we going?"
Hua Bushi "haha" daxiao, replied: "Twenty miles north of Nanao Town, Seven Stars View, let's go get 'Panlong Jue'!"
Legend has it that the "Panlong Jue" hides the secret of the East China Sea Whale Swallowing Island, as long as you get this Jue, you can find the location of this island and open the endless treasures on the island. Now this is not a secret, all parties in the black and white realm of Guangdong, none of them want to get it quickly, and for Hua Bushi, the biggest difficulty in obtaining this treasure is not that it cannot be found, but how to avoid the snatching of others.
When passing through the Luyuan Grand Canyon that day, although there were many words related to "seven" in the words spoken by Mr. Ma Da and Hua Bushi, after arriving in Nanao Town, Hua Bushi had ruled out many possibilities and was able to determine the location of this treasure.
Before, the eldest young master didn't quite understand why Mr. Ma Da mentioned many seemingly unrelated things such as the Nanao Chai family and the "Qiqiao Garden", but when he competed in the Chai Garden, after seeing Chai Lin's non-hostile eyes, Hua Bushi had already guessed the general reason.
Although Mr. Ma Da has an agreement with the "Four Great Sects", the hall master of the "Wanjin Hall" is obviously not willing to hand over the "Panlong Jue" to them, but just wants to use them to escort him to South Australia. Chai Lin, the head of Chai Garden, and Miss Shu Yu of the "Qiqiao Garden" have a lot of friendship with Mr. Ma Da, and Mr. Ma Da has lost all his martial arts, so after coming to this town, if he wants to get rid of the four major sects of Baidao, he must rely on them for help.
When he was in the trunk of the carriage, Mr. Martha's words seemed to be rambling, and even made people feel a little incoherent, but in fact, he said his entire jihua without a trace, and the word "seven" is the key to open this jihua!
Hua Bushi also has no martial arts, and he must also get rid of the entanglement of the masters of the "Four Major Schools". What he is doing now is exactly what Mr. Martha had done in his previous jihua. And the next step of Zuihou is, of course, to go to the real treasure place and get the legendary treasure jade in your hands!
The horses galloped like a strong wind.
It was already dark, and the night sky was full of stars, as bright as the jewels in the "Tangram Garden".
Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling rode their horses, and they were far away from the "Qiqiao Garden" and came to a dirt road in the north of Nanao Town, even if the weather was good, the night wind blowing on the body of the eldest young master still made him feel a little chilly.
The "Seven Stars" is at the end of this dirt road. Galloping up a small slope, you can already see that between the mountains in the distance, a Taoist temple with white stone and blue tiles suddenly appears in front of you.
There are not many local Taoist temples in South Australia, and the "Seven Stars Temple" is also a bit famous, and it can even be called a local scenic spot. It's just twenty miles away from the town, it's not far away, it's not close, and there are a lot of people who come to ask for hexagrams and incense during the day, but now it's getting late, and the Taoist temple has become quite deserted before.
Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling rode their horses to the front of the view, looked up, but saw that on top of dozens of steps, there was a rather tall mountain gate, and the door was closed, obviously no longer receiving pilgrims.
The two jumped off their horses and walked up the steps. Bai Yiling stepped forward and knocked on the door, and waited for a long time before the mountain gate was opened.
The door was opened by an old Taoist man, with a gray beard, a loose bun combed on the top of his head, a bamboo hairpin pinned to it, a green robe on his body was very shabby, he was fifty or sixty years old, and he was carrying a lantern that was also quite worn. Looking at this person's attire, he is probably a low-level Taoist who guards the door in the "Seven Stars View".
