Chapter 16 Xiaoxiang Picture Scroll
"Brother Yang specially invited me to come today, it's really a waste!" An old man talked eloquently, with an awe-inspiring atmosphere, "Come, Wang will toast you another cup first!"
"Master Wang is polite, if the little girl returns to your Dongting faction in the future, she will have to rely on your care!" Yang Zhongguo should be kind and pleasant, "I have already brought the scroll, and I hope to bother the two of you to help Yang Mou's staff and staff, and see what is the mystery in this painting?"
It turned out that Yang Zhongguo wanted someone to help him look at the painting, but what kind of painting is this, looking at his cautious appearance, it can be so important?
"Yo yo yo, it really looks like a real handiwork, I have heard that this "Thousand Miles of Xiaoxiang Map" is a martial arts painting, the best in ancient and modern times, there is naturally a secret hidden in it, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of you, an old horseman!" The other person said rudely, and seemed to have stopped the cup in his hand, and forcibly snatched the painting to watch.
"Yes!" surnamed Wang said with calm emotion, "I really didn't expect that this time, Brother Yang gave us a great surprise!" paused, "However, as far as I know, this painting was made by the former dynasty Dong Mingshi, also known as the 'Xiaoxiang picture scroll', to the middle of this dynasty, there are later generations because of their martial arts identity, in the painting added a few strokes of mystery, I didn't expect the mistake, but it became an amazing stroke, so it promoted this martial arts volume, which caused a lot of Jianghu masters to itch and compete. ”
"Yes, what Brother Wang said is very true, I have been thinking hard for many years, but I still can't see through the heavens, so I invite the two of you to be happy!" Yang Zhongguo sighed, a little open-minded.
"It's rare for Brother Yang to be so frank, I will do our best to share your worries and think about the way to solve it!" Wang Chaozong stroked his beard and smiled, unable to see his mind clearly, and was pondering and discussing a little, "Old man Yang, there is your Xianglu City on this map, and there are old friends in the north, could it be related to the old things of you and my fathers?" Jing Kaiyang was still rude and reckless, and suddenly seemed to wake up.
The air suddenly calmed down, everyone was in suspense, and Yang Zhongguo suddenly laughed a few times, "What is this? Brother Xian laughed! Yang Mou also thought about this aspect once upon a time, but after all, he felt that it was too ridiculous to be credible!"
"That's not necessarily!" Jing Kaiyang simply gave all the painting scrolls to Wang Chaozong and the others, and on the other side, he paused, pinched his chin and sighed, "Although my old Jing is a rough person, if according to Wang Daochang, what kind of martial arts master can be, I'm afraid only those people back then, so this speculation is not groundless!"
"Eh, you two have been muttering for so long, although they are old friends and old friends, it is not appropriate to leave us aside, right?" Wang Chaozong saw that there was a secret hidden in it, and couldn't wait to ask secretly, "Tell me quickly, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" forced a smile.
"What did Brother Wang say? So many old things, even if we are descendants, we can't fully know the details, I do have a bit of old friendship with this Kaiyang, and the things described are probably the same. Yang Zhongguo smiled and relieved the siege, Yurun's anger suddenly grew, and then said, "In the end, the head of the Wang family is also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to mind, you should think about it for the old man!"
Wang Chaozong had an epiphany in his heart, it seems that this surnamed Yang really has a complex background, and he refuses to say it clearly, and he doesn't know whether the rumors are true or not? ”
"That's true, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still haven't understood its meaning, it seems that I'm afraid that my ability is really limited, and I can't catch it, it's fate!" Yang Zhongguo couldn't help but sigh.
"Old man Yang, you don't need to rush this matter, maybe the time hasn't come!" Jing Kaiyang replied nonchalantly, turned around and poured himself wine, and drank it in style.
"Well, well, that's reasonable!" The other two crepe old Xiucai also nodded in agreement.
The three or five people were talking, and Xiao Zhurong outside the pavilion whispered to Xiao Fenglang, "I just saw that Yang Zhongguo seems to have just come out of the stone cave, and we have heard about it here, why don't you go to the stone cave first?"
"Go ahead, it's not over yet, I'm curious!" Xiao Fenglang didn't pay attention to it, and replied absentmindedly.
"Okay, if you're curious, listen here first, isn't he really hiding a treasure in this picture!" Xiao Zhurong didn't forget to touch his shoulder and push him before leaving, and joked.
Nodding, Wu Song quickly withdrew from the courtyard with her, still running towards the garden behind, and after a while, he came back to the stone cave.
The night wind gusted, the bamboo shadow swayed, the mountains and rocks were craggy, flickering bright and dark, Xiao Zhurong carefully observed the cave door, and after a while, he stepped on the mechanism to find out, "swooped" on the ground, the stone cave door opened gently, and the two quickly entered the cave and closed the stone door again.
Wu Song took out the fire twist from his body, blew the lighting, the cave quickly lit up, and it was faintly visible that there were all kinds of cabinets piled up not far away, and the two walked through the path decorated with marble lampposts, and approached to take a closer look, only there was a stone table in the middle, but there were a lot of instruments and classics on the ancient shelves around, could it be that this is still Yang Zhongguo's secret room study?
"Wu Song, do you think this Uncle Yang will have any correspondence with Jing Kaiyang that can be viewed?" Xiao Zhurong looked around, trying to find possible information clues.
"This is a bit difficult!" Wu Song frowned slightly, "I think the biggest gain tonight is to discover the relationship between Yang Zhongguo and the man in black." "The mind is awake.
"Well, that's right. Either way, let's look for it first. Xiao Zhurong turned his head slightly and replied gently, "After all, apart from this secret room, I'm afraid there is no other better place to hide than this." With that, he quickly turned his head and continued to look for it, and by the dim light of the fire, Wu Song accidentally caught a glimpse of this fairy-like face, and his heart immediately warmed.
Not long after, Wu Song held a fire twist in one hand and an axe-shaped knife in the other, and casually carved a mahogany box in the depths of the pile.
When Xiao Zhurong heard this, he hurriedly put down and rummaged elsewhere, walked over, looked at the box full of things, and suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect this Yang Zhongguo to be quite good at collecting rare treasures!" But I thought in my heart, it stands to reason that this Uncle Yang should be a figure on the rich side of the rivers and lakes, and it is nothing to store such a little jewelry, hey, it's a pity that there is still no progress in tracking down the clues!
Wu Song opened one or two other boxes one after another, which also contained a lot of jewelry and jade, "What's wrong?" turned around and saw that Rong'er's face was not good, and his expression was a little lost, so he asked with concern.
Xiao Zhurong sighed and said slowly, "When I was a child, I came to the Yang Mansion birthday banquet with my master, and I know that its wealth and glory are nothing. After a pause, he continued, "According to my speculation, there is no such a small cave in a huge Yang Mansion, these should just be put on display for outsiders to see, and the suspicious thing is that there is not the slightest hidden weapon in the secret room." ”
"That's right!" Wu Song agreed, and then comforted, "But it doesn't matter, even if you don't find anything for the time being, it's not in vain! Let's keep looking, maybe there will be something new to discover!" Xiao Zhurong nodded, plucking up the courage to continue searching.
Soon, with the help of the way of Yili taught by the master, Xiao Zhurong finally discovered the possible clues in the stone cave, "This cave, according to the Fuxi gossip and the acquired gossip is designed together, pay attention to the mutual transformation of yin and yang, heaven and earth are born together, the connotation is complex and changeable, and it is generally difficult for ordinary people to crack." ”
The little girl said, stopped and thought carefully for a while, then smiled slightly, and said happily, "Fortunately, my grandfather taught me to read all kinds of Taoist scriptures since I was a child. After that, he walked straight towards the table in the middle, "Heaven is full of water, and the earth is sixty percent of it; six or eight is enough, and fifty is in the middle..."
Wu Song understood and helped to push together, but it was still unsuccessful. The two were wondering, the air was surprisingly quiet, and suddenly one or two mosquitoes buzzed over and stung on Xiao Zhurong's face, Wu Song was anxious and clumsy to chase away mosquitoes for her, but accidentally touched each other's faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.
Wu Songzheng lowered his head to avoid, his face was red, but Xiao Zhurong didn't feel anything at all, he looked up to see the way the mosquitoes flew, and inadvertently had a flash of inspiration, as if he had insight into a new mystery, "Second Brother Wu, look at the oil lamp hanging in the center, could it be a switch?"
Hearing this, Wu Song came back to his senses, Xu was to hide Fang Cai's embarrassment, but he didn't have time to ask carefully, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he stepped on the stone bench and went straight to the table, pushing and touching the giant lamp up and down, left and right, "click" sounded, it turned out that the lamp plate could really be rotated.
The two looked at each other, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and became happy, Wu Song slowly continued to twist the mechanism, and there seemed to be some movement somewhere around the cave.
"Catch the assassin! Catch him!" Suddenly they heard a rapid shout outside the cave, which caused panic, and the two of them suddenly felt bad, thinking that there was still a chance to check anyway, and it was not appropriate to startle the snake at this time, so they cut it categorically, quickly restored the original appearance of the cave, and quietly left the secret room of the stone cave.
With the shouts in the mansion one after another, the situation was extremely urgent, Wu Song had to take her hand and run in a panic, inadvertently breaking into a place like a flower garden.
Seeing that the other party was about to chase after him, he couldn't help but say, the two of them passed through a begonia cave door, ran across the small stone bridge, and got into a small mountain dock with dense leaves.
