Mirroring the changes

"What?"

"Dowry!!"

After arriving at a secluded place, Li Chen repeated what he had just heard, which angered everyone.

Especially Hong Yiren, who had already summoned her two swords and was about to kill someone.

Li Chen hurriedly stopped her, and then said in a deep voice: "After all, this is someone else's territory. We can only take advantage of it by wits."

Zhongli Qiu heard this and said thoughtfully: "Little monk, tell me in detail."

Li Chen clasped his hands together and said in a low voice: "Why don't we split up into two groups and cooperate with each other from inside and outside."

"How do we split up into two groups?"

"Senior, Donor Mo and Donor Ji, the three of you can pretend to be guests and sneak into the Jin Mansion.

You can find out some secrets between the Jin and Wang families from the guests."

"The three of us will find an opportunity to sneak in from the back door to see if there is anything going on in the Jin Mansion."

"The main purpose is to find Jin Zhuliu!"

Today is Jin Zhuliu's wedding day. It is not easy to meet him alone.

However, Zhongli Qiu thought about it carefully and found that this was the only way to try. He nodded immediately: "Let's do it this way."

"It just so happens that I once traveled in Feiluzhou when I was young. I have some understanding of the Jin family. It is not difficult to sneak in."

"But you three have to be careful."

"As one of the aristocratic families in Feiluzhou, the Jin family has been engaged in elixirs for generations.

There are many elixirs hidden in the mansion.

But it has not been lost for hundreds of years.

The reason is that there is a set of traps made by the Mo family inside."

"No one who breaks into the Jin Mansion will succeed."

Trap?

Coincidentally, Li Chen happened to have the inheritance of the Mo branch.

Li Chen nodded: "Thank you for your concern, let's take care of each other."

"Act according to the situation."

"Okay!"

After that, the group split into two sides.

Li Chen and the other two found a deserted place and changed into tight clothes.

After circling the Jin family, Li Chen set his eyes on a small door in the west.

This door is right next to the kitchen, which is used to deliver vegetables, meat and other food to the servants.

Li Chen had experience working in the kitchen, so he naturally called him an expert when he saw it.

Today is the big day of the Jin family, so the usually quiet West Gate is also busy at this time.

The three of them were not in a hurry to sneak in, but hid in a corner outside the West Gate.

Not long after, an empty donkey cart drove towards them.

The cart was pulling an empty swill bucket.

The Jin family was full of guests today, and this swill cart had been in and out many times.

The old man driving the car yawned, jumped off the carriage, used the pony pole, and knocked on the wooden door.

Li Chen saw this and smiled. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

The three of them understood each other tacitly, and hurriedly took the opportunity to slip onto the donkey cart.

There were more than a dozen swill buckets on the donkey cart.

There were gaps between the swill buckets.

The three of them took advantage of the gaps and hid their bodies.

Li Chen also took the opportunity to release the red carp, spitting out bubbles to refract the light to other places.

After everything was ready, the small wooden door opened from the inside with a creak.

The one who opened the door was still the fat-faced Jin family guard.

This man looked rough, but he checked very carefully.

All the carriages and people entering and leaving the west gate, no matter how big or small, must be carefully checked by him.

Except for this swill donkey cart.

Sure enough, after the guard opened the door, he frowned immediately when he saw it was a swill cart.

He covered his nose and took three steps back.

But even so, he still tiptoed and glanced at the swill buckets.

They were dark and empty.

He waved his hand impatiently, signaling the old man to hurry in.

The old man laughed with a smile on his face, then turned around and got on the donkey cart and rushed into the yard.

The three of them finally entered the Jin Mansion smoothly.

The donkey cart turned around and came to a small courtyard. While the old man was peeing, the three people hurriedly got off the cart.

Li Chen's head was listening carefully, as if he was sensing the movements around him.

He suddenly pointed to the wall in front of him, then flew over the wall.

Li Sao and Li Ge understood and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Li Chen landed, he stood up and looked around. Sure enough, there was no one, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a small courtyard.

There are many kinds of pots and pans, iron sand, and grinding stones in the yard, most of which are used in the kitchen.

There is no doubt that this is a warehouse for sundries.

Li Chen went around the house, and then used stones and branches to make a small mechanism behind the warehouse door.

As long as the door of the warehouse is pushed open from the outside.

The small stones piled up will collapse and make a slight sound.

That means someone is coming.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to use this place as a temporary hiding place.

Whenever there is nowhere to go, you can come to this small courtyard to take shelter.

If you find something, you can also leave a mark on the corner.

The three took a short rest and figured out the surrounding movements.

Li Chen identified the direction and looked up. He saw a small building that was as high as the clouds in the northeast.

Before entering Xinye City, everyone had seen this iconic building on the fairy boat.

This building is built of golden nanmu. It looks golden from a distance, but the glazed tiles on the roof are a deep green.

It represents the Jin family's spiritual fire of heaven and earth, 'Qingmuhuo'.

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands.

The Qingmu Building has ten floors, and each floor hides the elixirs that the Jin family has collected for hundreds of years.

It can be said to be the core of the Jin family.

The Mo family mechanism that Zhongli Qiu mentioned before is probably also to protect the elixirs in this building.

Suddenly, Li Chen's eyes lit up. Now the wedding has not started yet, maybe the "Hundred Flowers Soul Pill" is still in the building.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought that he must go to this building to take a look.

The three of them did not hesitate and began to walk towards the Qingmu Building.

With the protection of the Diting Technique and Chiyu's bubbles, the three of them quickly passed through the servants' activity area.

It must be said that the Jin family's life is indeed luxurious.

The closer to the Qingmu Building, the more gorgeous the decoration of the house.

At this time, most people were entertaining guests in the front hall, but the inner courtyard was much quieter, with only a few guards passing by occasionally.

The three of them had a smooth journey and were getting closer and closer to the Qingmu Building.

After running a few more steps, the three of them would reach the Qingmu Building.

But Li Chen suddenly reached out to stop Li Ge and Li Sao.

The two looked at Li Chen in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Chen frowned slightly, his expression was a little serious, and he said in a cold voice: "There is a mechanism ahead."

"Mechanism?"

Li Sao was slightly surprised and looked at the path in front of him.

It was the same as all the other paths.

Flat, clean, and most importantly, no one else passed by here.

Li Sao touched his bald head, and when he was about to ask in confusion, he saw Li Chen suddenly bent down.

On both sides of this small road, there was a small lion about a foot high, which looked like two stone pillars at first glance.

It was mainly used by wealthy families to suppress the evil spirits on the road, and it was nothing ordinary.

But if you look closely, you will find that one of the eyes of the small lion on the left has a deeper pupil, as if it was stained with ink.
