The Old Nine Gates: February Red

On the imperial concubine's couch in the pavilion, "I'm so full..."

Hearing that Er Yuehong chuckled a few times, and waited for the maid to put away the tea and snacks before letting people back down, "It's just as good as Ba Ye's appetite."

"Second Master, the pavilion has a nice view." Zhang Qishan leaned on the railing and looked at the sparkling water.

According to a person familiar with the matter, there is a water overlord in the Red Mansion, which is a trophy that Er Yuehong got from a tomb when she was young.

As far as he knows, there is only one pond in the huge Red Mansion, and below it...

Regarding Zhang Qishan's praise, Er Yuehong just smiled, "That ring is indeed a relic of the ancestors, and there are several people with it. At that time, they descended from an ancient tomb in Dalongling, Western Hunan. I really don't know what the situation inside is. , I only know that whether it was the people who entered the tomb before or the people who went to rescue after receiving the message, all of them were folded inside, so we can see how dangerous the situation inside the tomb is."

"Dalong Ridge in western Hunan? Er Ye means that these coffins came from ancient tombs deep in the mountains?" Zhang Qishan frowned, which was quite different from what they had speculated.

"But the train came out of the mine? How did it get to the ancient tomb in the deep mountain and old forest?" Qi Tiezui jumped up

Zhang Qishan looked at the puzzled Er Yuehong and explained, "Last night I looked at the railway map near Changsha. From the map, all the routes from the northeast were blown up, but the track connecting Changsha was intact. There are many mountains near Changsha, and there are often tracks connecting the mines in the mountains, so I can be sure that the trains came out of the mines.”

"Recently, the mine is not peaceful. There are many Japanese spies there. I don't know what they are planning?" Qi Tiezui was very worried.

"The vicinity of the mine is so desolate, the Japanese would not choose it if they have any conspiracy, unless they are doing some secret experiments." Zhang Qishan paused, "So I am going to go there to find out the situation myself."

"It's too dangerous." Er Yuehong disapproved, "If the Japanese are really doing secret experiments there, once they are exposed, it's no joke. If you're not careful, you'll die there."

"It doesn't matter. I'll take the adjutant and Ba Ye together and pretend to be travelers passing by. Besides, with my adjutant and I's skill, coupled with Ba Ye's ability to seek good luck and avoid evil, even if something goes wrong, it's okay. I can return safely." Zhang Qishan put the teacup in Er Yuehong's hand to comfort her, "Just go and have a look, nothing will happen."

"Ah? Do you really want me to go?" Qi Tiezui had a bitter face, he thought the Buddha was joking last night

Zhang Qishan showed eight big white teeth, "Don't worry, Ba Ye, I will protect you.

Er Yuehong really wanted to say that he would go too, but he hesitated when he thought about the information about the mine in the secret room in the ancestral tomb.

It's all because of his bad memory. He remembered other small things, but he couldn't remember the specific situation in the mine, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive. "Then be more careful."

——————Go back to each government, cultivate your body and rest—————

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Qishan and his adjutant rode on horses and dressed as traders, and they also brought a box of tobacco as a cover.

The two galloped out of Changsha City to the meeting point, a small dirt slope beside the railway in the suburbs.

"Woo..." Zhang Qishan reined in his horse, just because he saw a carriage by the roadside, and a white lantern with the words "Hongfu" hung on the front eaves of the carriage, he drove the horse and approached the window, "Second Lord."

The white wrist sticks out of the window, and the jade fingers that lift the curtain are as slender as green onions, "Buddha."

Looking at these slender hands, Zhang Qishan was a little dazed, with such beautiful hands, the silver bullets that popped out could kill him with one blow.

"Buddha, it's dangerous to go here. If it's not necessary, don't enter the mine." Er Yuehong originally wanted to go straight to the secret room of the ancestral tomb to get information about the mine as soon as possible, but she couldn't rest assured, so she drove to the side and waited

"rest assured."

While the two were talking, Qi Tiezui arrived wearing a fortune-teller's Dao uniform, carrying a donkey.

Er Yuehong took a look and laughed, "Master Ba, good morning."

Zhang Qishan looked at Qi Tiezui for a while, then sighed: "Ba Ye, I asked you to disguise yourself, what are you doing riding a donkey?"

"Buddha, fortune tellers don't ride a donkey, don't they ride a tall horse, doesn't that tell the world that I have something to do here? Don't underestimate my clothes, the more you go into the mountains. This trail will be more effective for me."

Hearing what Qi Tiezui said, the adjutant who had been a transparent person on the side for a long time rarely interjected: "The Taoist priests in this mountain are already poor and extinct. Playing like a ghost, stealing the children of the village and going back to become a thug. Eighth Master, if you see someone like this, you will be beaten to death."

"No, no, they are thugs with only brute force. I am the ancestor of Huang Ting, the descendant of the Qi family." Qi Tiezui patted his treasure bag as he said: "The hundred and eight magical powers are all on him, Wherever you go, there are living gods."

After the chatter, it seems that the sun is not short, it is time to set off on the road.

"Buddha, Lord Ba, this is for self-defense at home. It's better than being small and close-fitting. Take it with you just in case." Er Yuehong handed out a small box, which contained an improved hand crossbow, which can be worn on the wrist to hide Inside the clothes, there are poisoned silver needles in the crossbow. "And these dry rations, it won't hurt to bring more."

"Second Lord is still considerate, I forgot to bring food when I was in such a hurry to go out." Qi Tiezui quickly grabbed the food bag

"Let's go, Second Master, let's go back." Zhang Qishan clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran away

"Hey, Buddha, wait for me." Qi Tiezui hurriedly rode a donkey to catch up

Watching the three of them leave, Er Yuehong sighed softly, "Let's go." I just hope everything goes well. "

The horse-drawn carriage rattled the man to the Hong family's ancestral grave, and Er Yuehong sent the coachman back home, agreeing to pick him up in two hours.

The ancestral tomb of the Hong family is in the wilderness, occupying a huge area, and all the generations of the Hong family are buried inside.

Er Yuehong first placed the tribute in front of the stele, lit incense, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to show respect to the ancestors.After twisting the mechanism, a door opened on the side of the round arched cave.

After entering the door, looking for memories, Er Yuehong found the anti-robbery hole.

After groping forward, he found the secret room.

After lighting the lamp, carefully take off the paper on the wall and put it away, then cremate the remains of the ancestors on the spot and put them in the small porcelain cup they brought.

After making another round of inspection, Er Yuehong re-buried the robbery hole after confirming that there was nothing missing.The future of Changsha is not peaceful, there is no need to keep such a secret for the enemy to take advantage of.

After finishing all these tasks, Er Yuehong has become a native.Under the surprised eyes of the groom, he climbed into the carriage and returned to the mansion, and then walked into the clean room to take a bath under the eyes of the servants of the Red Mansion.

When he finally appeared in front of everyone refreshed, the butler came up hesitantly, "Second Lord, what is this?"

"Oh, I dreamed about your master and my father last night. He said that the "sleeping" place was too loose and uncomfortable, so I made it tight for him. So, I went to the ancestral grave to fill the ground." Back to face Looking at the butler, Er Yuehong smiled mischievously, and walked leisurely towards the study with her hands behind her back

And our fooled butler felt a gust of wind blowing from his back...

Chapter 11

Putting down the book absently, Er Yuehong looked at the wicker swaying in the wind on the lake outside the window.It has been three days since Buddha and the others set off, what happened?

"Second Master..." The butler's voice was flustered, "Second Master, Eighth Master has brought the Buddha. In the main hall, the Buddha looks very wrong..."

"Bump..." I got up so fast that the chair was knocked down

With force on his toes, he appeared in the main hall of the Red Mansion within a few breaths, his fingertips gripping the door frame turned white from the force, at this moment, the person he placed on the tip of his heart collapsed on the chair with a blue face, "Why?" Will it be like this?" His voice trembled a little.

"Second Lord, you should think of a way, Master Buddha has been like this since he came out of the mine." Qi Tiezui hastily pulled Er Yuehong in front of the unconscious Zhang Qishan

"Mine?" Er Yuehong came back to her senses and quickly asked her servants to prepare hot water and other necessary utensils, "Have you entered the mine?"

"We found traces of the Japanese in the small village near the mine, and Buddha followed him in to find out the news." Adjutant Zhang moved the unconscious Zhang Qishan to the recliner carried by the subordinates at Er Yuehong's request "all the way Everything went smoothly in the past, and the tomb that the Japanese were digging was found, and later the Buddha entered a secret room by himself, and he came out like this."

"You let him go in alone without knowing why?" Er Yuehong held the tweezers and roasted them back and forth on the candle, "Press Buddha."

Taking off Zhang Qishan's gloves, Er Yuehong observed carefully for a while, pointed at one of the fingers and pierced the scorched red tweezers in, and pulled out a piece of tweezers from inside under the incredulous eyes of Qi Tiezui and Zhang Fuguan. The knotted black hair.

The ten fingers connected to the heart, and the fiery red tweezers kept stabbing the ten fingers back and forth, the pain made the unconscious Zhang Qishan writhe and scream.

Finally, Er Yuehong put down the tweezers in her hand.

"Second Master, are you alright?" Qi Tiezui, who was watching the whole process, turned pale.

"It's still the last step." Er Yuehong picked up the bottle beside the table, which contained enough realgar white wine.Poured the realgar wine into the copper basin, took a deep breath, "It's firm."

"Ah..." The bloody hands just soaked into the copper basin, and the blue veins on Zhang Qishan's face burst out after being pressed

Let Zhang Qishang, who had bandaged the wound, be settled, and Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui Zhang's adjutant gathered in the study room, "But what did you find?"

"The Lord Buddha gave me this before he fell into a coma." Qi Tiezui handed a bronze medal to Er Yuehong, "and asked us to bring him here."

"Second Master, Buddha's injury?" Adjutant Zhang was more worried about Zhang Qishan's body

"I'm not absolutely sure, let the doctor check it after I go back." Er Yuehong said thoughtfully.
