Before the curfew began, Gu Liubai entered Guiyifang.
Guiyifang, south of Chang'an City, is flat, but it is far from the imperial city and the lively market. Therefore, in the previous dynasty, this place was a little disliked. An emperor of the Sui Dynasty thought that it was not a problem to be empty, so he simply divided the land into several pieces and distributed it to several sons and kings of different surnames. The royal relatives of the previous dynasty built mansions here, and as many entourages and servants, Guiyifang gradually became popular.
But in the Tang Dynasty, these large houses gradually became abandoned and gradually divided by many generals with military achievements. Now Guiyifang has gone to two extremes. Some courtyards have become private gardens of the powerful and noble families of the Tang Dynasty. Because there are many strange flowers and trees planted in the previous dynasties, the taste of these courtyards is unique. However, most of the houses have no fixed layout, especially many of them live in the backbone army. Many of them are not interested in setting up houses. They can avoid leaks and keep warm in winter and think they are living well. Therefore, many houses seem extremely messy, with things piled up in a mess, and there are not even green plants to decorate in front of and behind the house.
The quiet and elegant courtyard is so delicate that it is so delicate that the chaotic house is as messy as a doghouse. Even the road in front of the door can be seen piles of debris at any time. Even when a carriage passes, you have to be careful not to touch any firewood piles and jars.
The small courtyard that Wang Yehu mentioned is easy to find. It is next to a large canal in the middle of Guiyifang, near an abandoned small temple.
This small temple used to worship a local god from the previous dynasty, and it is said that it can cure diseases after worship.
But before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this small temple was abandoned for some reason. After that, two nobles had the idea of ​​this place, because generally speaking, the temple occupied auspicious places, and the location of this small temple was indeed good. It was at the widest part of the water surface of the canal, like a turtle extending into the water surface. It could be a dock on all sides. Whether it was a water house, a restaurant or a wharf, it was unique.
But every time I organize people to demolish this dilapidated temple, there are problems. Once, the construction is about to start when I see it, but the temple suddenly burst into thunder. After entering, I see nothing. Another time, I will demolish the temple tomorrow. At night, the temple is bright red, and many snakes swim in the temple the next morning.
Then two foremen with workers fell seriously ill, but the rest were fine.
In this way, no one dared to make the idea of ​​ruining the temple again.
Later, the incense was still strong for a while, but it was said that it would not work after worshiping. It was said that the great immortals in this temple were already annoyed. You people had cut off the incense before, and they didn't stop others from demolishing the temple. They also wanted me to bless you, but there was no door.
The reason is certainly good, but ordinary people in Chang'an are also very realistic. If you don't light up in the west and light up in the east, you won't help, so I'll find other places to help.
The incense in the dilapidated temple was cut off again.
The incense in a temple next door at Datongfang is particularly prosperous.
The small courtyard mentioned on Wang Yehu's letter is in the third courtyard from south to north of this dilapidated temple, which is also facing the canal, with only two entry points. Behind it is He Pingzhi's Li Si Garden, the younger brother of the Imperial College, He Yusheng, and it is also one of the very distinctive private gardens in Guiyifang.
The gate of the courtyard was locked, so Gu Liubai jumped around casually and jumped over the courtyard wall.
There is only one bedroom in the yard, and the door is not locked, just a false cover.
The furnishings inside are no different from those of ordinary people. They look like they are used by men and have no place to dress up.
The bed is not big, so I guess the two of them are too crowded to sleep.
Gu Liubai tried to lift his hands up. This bed was an ordinary hardwood bed, and there was no mystery, so he simply lifted the bed up and turned it horizontally against the wall.
There were two camphor wood boxes under the bed, and Gu Liubai was not anxious. He opened it and looked at it. They were all very ordinary clothes.
After moving these two camphor wood boxes, there is a wooden board below that seems to be used to prevent moisture, but after moving the board away, another wooden board below is revealed.
During these days, Li's family has been searching for Jia Lian all over the city. No matter whether there are people or not, people will ask and check.
The entrance to this secret room is not secret, but Wang Yehu is confident that he will not be discovered, so he may have made arrangements long ago.
The fluorescent light gradually appeared on Gu Liubai's palm, and the true energy densely spread on his palm adhered to the wooden board covering the entrance of the secret room like spider silk. However, after easily lifting the wooden board, what caught his eye made him frown in an instant.
There is a bronze plate below the board.
The bronze plate is embedded in the ground very flat, with the edges tightly fitted with the floor tiles, and there are only a few water-like textures on the bronze plate.
If it were someone else, I would probably have to spend some time thinking about how to deal with it.
However, the reason why Gu Liubai frowned was the question he knew.
His mother has many bronze boxes, and the texture is also on it.
At this time, the sound of the curfew drums had already sounded.
The sound of drums hit his heart like thunder, causing his hands to tremble slightly.
He reached out and touched one of the water lines. The true energy swept quickly from left to right, and then fell on the other water lines, and the true energy swung from right to left.
All the water traces lit up instantly.
The surface of the bronze plate emits a transparent moist luster. Then, with it as the center, the ground several feet of square foot under the bed fell silently downward, revealing a stone step.
The end of the stone steps was not dark, but a red light was shaking, just like someone lit a red lamp, but it was like the eyes of a huge monster glowing.
Gu Liubai could sense that the end was indeed a secret room, not much bigger than this bedroom, and there was no living thing inside. He was not a person who was usually confused. However, looking at the strange red light at the end of the stone steps, he did not move for a long time.
His heart was filled with strange feelings.
This red light suddenly gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen this light a long time ago.
Did I come here when I was a kid?
This thought subconsciously appeared in his mind.
At this time, he regretted that he had not let Pei Yunshi come back and set off here with him.
In the past, he was not panicked at any time when he was alone, but at this time he was inexplicably panicked and thought that Pei Yunqi could be with him.
Are Wang Yehu and his mother old acquaintances?
Otherwise, why is even the same lock pattern?
Why do the top figures like Chang'an have a virtue? Even when they die, they don't explain the matter clearly?
Gu Liubai was like a wronged child in his heart and was desperately scolding these people.
Old Taoist Chongqian, Master Xuanqing, and this Wang Yehu.
He felt that these people knew a lot of things, but they just didn't explain it clearly. Moreover, the cultivation level of these people was much higher than that of him, so he couldn't defeat them and forced them to say it.
After scolding for a while, he was struggling for a while, but he could not move Miss Pei Er from the air. In the end, he could not stop the temptation of the secret room in front of him. Gu Liubai, who relied on scolding to relieve his emotions, walked down the stone steps.
Then as soon as he walked into the secret room, another ten thousand grass floated by in his heart.
Whose secret office director is like this?
There is only one shaking bed for placing babies in the secret room, and there are several cloth tigers and a rattle on the bed.
This is clearly a nursery room!
Could it be that I was staying on this bed when I was a child?
But it’s fine if it’s just a nursery room. The key is that the place that emits red light is a shrine, and there is a small red tower inside the shrine.
The red light was emitted by this small tower, and it was very regular. The red light shone a little darker, as if it was breathing.
The most nonsense thing is that there is a piece of paper on the shrine, with big words written on it very eye-catchingly, "Don't move the magical objects!"
Does magical powers mean face?
Made it like a big street product everywhere?
Are magical things amazing?
They are all magical objects, so don’t let people move?
Gu Liubai thought that Wang Yehu was really fucked.
But the more fucking part is still behind.
He saw a letter in front of the red tower.
Of course, he chose to go over and open it immediately.
"I just suspect that you are the owner of the Sierra Black Cat, so I will try it in the sword competition between you and Canglang Sword Sect. If I find it doesn't feel like it, then although I put a letter in Yao Zhuojiu's hands, that letter will not be in your hands."
"Since you can come here and see my last letter, you should understand it yourself."
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"If you can't remember it, that's normal."
"That small tower is really a magical power, but you really can't move it. If you take it out of this secret room, you will be perceived by the powerful figures in Chang'an City. Take it when you really have to use it."
"Lu Weiliang must have been cold for a long time. Take advantage of the time when Li has not raised a person who replaces him, go and have a good chat with the Sierra Black Cat. Poor little thing, I have been waiting for you for many years. When I see you, I am afraid that I will implicate you and dare not recognize you."
"Either your mother and your father, you are not friends, you are both enemies with them. Your father's death and your mother's death have something to do with me. It's an enemy, so it's not a shame. But I think your mother is really interesting."
"As soon as I go, there are one more interesting people in the world."
"I don't know if you're interested in the future."
Is this over?
Gu Liubai was so angry that his face turned pale when he held the letter.
It’s okay to leave a letter when you die, and you’re just pretending to behave in the last two sentences. The key is that all these words are said to this point. Why don’t you just say it clearly?
My mother still can’t understand, you, Wang Yehu, have another father for me?
Daddy is dead too?
I die if I die, and I don’t think he is alive, but at least you can tell me who he is?
Fuck you guys’ eighth-grade magical powers are all caused by fighting puzzles?
...
It took Gu Liubai a while to regain his sanity.
He looked at the small red tower about two feet long, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. Even after a while, he felt as if he was looking at an elder.
Even when he looked at the shaking bed and the top of the stone chamber, he felt familiar.
I probably watched a lot when I was a kid.
I must have stayed in this stone chamber for a while.
I was not born outside the pass, but was born in Chang'an and was taken outside the pass?
Wang Yehu played a dumb puzzle, but at least it said something useful in the letter.
I am the owner of the Four-Eared Demon Cat?
No wonder this cat followed the little man's girl, and the look of her eyes seemed a little different.
The owner of the four-eared black cat was the previous generation of Depraved Daozi. In this way, isn’t it confirmed that his mother was the previous generation of Depraved Daozi?
Gu Liubai felt a little better.
He wondered if he would just go to see Master Xuanqing again tomorrow, and told him that I knew that my mother was the previous generation of Depraved and Confucian Taoist. Wang Yehu told me, it depends on what Master Xuanqing would say this time.
Next, I must listen to Wang Yehu's question first and ask the four-eared demon cat.
Although the four-eared demon cat is elusive, fortunately, Zhou Lu'er can find it at any time.
After all, this trip was very rewarding.
As a result, he was a little angry, but looking at the last two pretentious words in the letter, he couldn't help but talk to Wang Yehu across the air, "It's nothing if I'm interested. I know who you have given those two magical objects."
After saying this, he stuffed Wang Yehu's letter into his sleeve pocket and prepared to go back and see Pei Yunqiu.
But for some reason, his eyes involuntarily fell on the stone wall facing the canal in the secret room.
There is also a weird feeling.
The stone wall looked ordinary and nothing special compared to the other stone walls. Wang Yehu's last letter was full of pretentiousness and did not mention anything special about the stone wall, but he also felt a very familiar feeling as he looked at it.
Subconsciously, I feel that there seems to be a flower blooming there.
He walked over.
It really seems that there is no problem.
But when he poured out his true energy to cover it, there seemed to be a place in the stone wall that was not that flat.
Even if an ordinary practitioner tries like him, he will not feel anything wrong when trying something slightly uneven.
But Gu Liubai saw the problem again.
The edges of those uneven places seem a bit too square.
And he could see several blocks vaguely as the red light of the small tower faded.
He will do this.
He punched three times, hitting different blocks.
The center of the stone wall opened back like a door. The red light of the small tower reflected on the inner earth wall. There was a picture of a door god faintly on the earth wall. An obese general was carrying a sword and was about to cut it. There was a large ball of flowers on his chest of armor.
There is indeed a flower.
Gu Liubai couldn't remember the incident, but he was sure that this was a secret passage, and someone should have entered and exited here more than once.
After all this, he had no complaints or hesitation, so he walked in.
The secret passage is very long and profound.
And it should be that no one has come in and out for a long time. Even if there is a subtle flow of wind inside, it still has a moldy smell and an indescribable odor.
After a while, I probably had two miles away, and I couldn't see the end at all, but there were snake skins falling off the ground.
There is probably a snake nest here.
However, if he had been playing with Zhou Lu'er since childhood, he would probably be afraid if there was a snake spirit. No matter how many normal snakes that shed their skin, with his current cultivation level, he could bounce them to the body and protect his true energy.
Just keep moving forward.
He didn't see any snake, but the secret passage was twisting and long beyond his imagination. He felt that he had walked at least half of Chang'an City, and the secret passage finally appeared a row of stone steps upwards, and finally came to an end.
There is also a large bronze plate at the end.
Listening to the silence outside and there was no sign of people moving around, he opened the bronze plate.
There is no bed above.
He was stunned after walking out.
He is in a courtyard.
The houses around this yard are obviously used as warehouses.
There are several houses piled with dried medicinal herbs.
He just smelled the smell of the medicinal herbs and knew that those medicinal herbs were ordinary medicinal herbs used to relieve rheumatism, coldness, headaches and fever.
He could not tell the specific direction when walking in the underground secret passage, but when he smelled the smell of the medicinal herb, the first thing that attracted his attention was a wall in the south.
The wall is very high, and there is a very large house inside.
Judging your specific location based on the surrounding landmark landforms is not difficult for any border army's stake. Gu Liubai saw the roof of a Taoist temple not far away at a glance.
When he saw a small hill inside the Taoist temple again, he quickly realized that was the Yuquan Temple mentioned by Jia Lian?
Then shouldn’t the house be Jing’s Mansion?
Gu Liubai thought about it. Although he brought the magical powers given to him by the national master Tie Liuzhen of the Great Food, he did not dare to use them easily at this time when he was next to the royal palace where the emperor was very concerned about. So he just swept up more than one meter and looked behind the high wall.
When he saw this, he felt that he was shallow again.
There is also a higher wall behind the high wall.
It turns out that what is next to this place is not the Jing Mansion, but the courtyard where the servants in the Jing Mansion live.
King Jing is already finished. A princess Jing has such a pomp, and he suddenly became more curious about the mysterious Princess Jing.
But what is even more curious is that a secret passage that was so long that led to a warehouse not far outside the Jing Palace. The wall was the residence of the people under the Jing Palace.
What the hell is this?
With such a lot of effort, it would be better to choose a place to dig the palace directly?
It's great to be hidden in the palace. If you have nothing to do, you can find a place in the palace and get some breath.
This was actually just a subconscious complaint in his heart, but the next moment, his face became more exciting.
He suddenly thought of Qiao Huangyun who kept digging wells!
Qiao Huangyun's house is really not far from the imperial city.
Could it be that Qiao Huangyun really wants to dig a secret passage and go directly to the palace, right?
Chapter completed!
