Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

A group of people followed Old Man Zhou, Gongsun seemed very excited along the way, Bai Yutang couldn't see it on the surface, but his heart was also full of excitement, Zhan Zhao and Bai Jintang seemed relatively leisurely, and the two got together to chat. Quite speculative.

Zhan Zhao noticed that there are many towering trees in Luoxi Mansion, but there is only one kind of shrub on the ground, which smells fragrant and pleasant, so he thought that if he knew the name, he could plant some when he went back, so he asked Gongsun: "Sir, do you know what kind of flowers and plants grow in Luoxi Mansion? I smell very refreshing."

Gongsun picked a leaf with great interest, sniffed it lightly, looked at it again, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a geranium, right?"

The old man Zhou, who was leading the way, turned back with a smile and said, "Mr. Gongsun is truly a man of God. Nothing can hide from your eyes."

Gongsun smiled: "The old man was joking, there are very few plants in the Song Dynasty, and students only know about them by reading books, and it is understood that most people will raise ornamental geraniums, but this one in Luoxi Mansion... I am afraid it is Is it the most fragrant geranium?"

Old man Zhou nodded: "Mr. is right."

Zhan Zhao asked strangely, "Sir, is there any explanation for the fragrance of this geranium?"

Gongsun said: "It can refresh your mind, freshen the air, and drive away mosquitoes, but the rest is useless."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Then when we go back, we will also plant a few plants for the lord to refresh him?"

Gongsun shook his head: "The climate in our place is not suitable, don't waste it, if the adults are tired, just apply chili oil on his forehead."

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang: "..."

Master Bao will cry... Really!

After a while, we arrived at the destination. As Bai Yutang said, there is a huge stone plate in the whole open space. There are all kinds of strange devices on the stone plate. Most of them are stone flakes that can rotate in a full circle. The entire stone plate looks like a confusing underground palace, but there is no clue at all, where is the entrance and where is the exit.

Bai Yutang squatted down, and lightly moved one of the stone flakes with his hand. The direction of the stone flake changed, which immediately affected the stone flakes and devices around him, causing a change in an instant.

Gongsun took a deep breath: "Drink, what a fellow!"

Bai Yutang also nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha... you guys are indeed from my generation, and you can see that this is a real thousand machine disk. I am not afraid to tell you that the demon sword is hidden in this thousand machine disk. , you have to break through the thousand machine boards and find the right path to find the Demon Saber!"

Several people turned their heads, and saw Master Zhou was smiling smugly, still wearing a scarf on his head, pinching his beard and looking at him.

Bai Yutang didn't like the old man very much, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and went to look at the thousand machine disk by himself, but Gongsun asked: "Master Zhou, is this thousand machine disk really set up here by old man Shenji?"

Zhou Jin smiled and said: "I think this gentleman must be the master of the Kaifeng mansion, Gongsun, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. What you said is correct. The old man Shenji was an old friend of my ancestors back then. After the Xueyin Blade, I made this Thousand Machine Disk. My ancestors have always warned us that only those who have the ability to open this Thousand Machine Disk are qualified to be worthy of the Weeping Blood Yin Blade! Unfortunately, so far, no one has been able to Those who can succeed, even if they open the Thousand Machine Disk, will eventually be trapped in the maze in the disk, unable to solve it, and even the corpse cannot be found.”

Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang was engrossed in looking at the thousand machine disk, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Mouse, how sure are you?"

Bai Yutang shook his head calmly: "I don't have a clue yet, I need to give me time." After finishing speaking, he fiddled with the stone slab again, and there was a lot of noise, and the direction of the stone slab changed a lot.

Gongsun Fu said again: "Since Lord Zhou brought us here, it seems that he hopes that we can solve the mystery of the thousand machine disks?"

Master Zhou nodded: "I really hope that in my lifetime, I can see that someone can open this thousand machine disk correctly and get the weeping blood blade, and recently, there have been visions in the sky, I am afraid that this demon sword is real. I can't stand the loneliness, and I'm looking for his lord!"

Gongsun looked at Bai Yutang, saw Bai Yutang nodded slightly at him, and then smiled and said: "Okay, then let's try to decipher this thousand machine disk and see how mysterious he is!"

After that, Bai Yutang and Gongsun studied the Qianji Pan together. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Bai Jintang asked Zhan Zhao, "Xiaomao, they are both busy, what should we do?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "I was just going to see if I could find any clues. After all, someone is missing... What's the big brother's plan?"

Bai Jintang looked at Gongsun, turned his head and smiled at Zhan Zhao, "I'll go with you."

"Let's go too!"

Zhan Zhao turned his head, and saw Bai Jinyang and others coming up one after another. Zhan Zhao couldn't refuse, so he nodded, and then asked old man Zhou: "Old Zhou, is it convenient to lead the way?"

Old man Zhou looked at his master, and seeing the master nodded in agreement, he ran over and said, "Master Zhan has worked hard, the old man will lead the way."

After the group left, Gongsun asked Bai Yutang in a low voice: "Are you so relieved to let your cat investigate in this house? If I remember correctly, we passed at least eighteen institutions along the way."

Bai Yutang said: "Don't worry, it's fine, the cat is a ghost, let alone with that person around, it's hard for something to happen."

Gongsun pondered for a moment, then blinked and asked, "That person? You mean Bai Jintang?"

Bai Yutang smiled and said nothing, and went to fiddle with another piece of stone. Then, the clattering piece changed direction again. Bai Yutang thought for a while, broke off a branch and began to write on the ground. Gongsun leaned over to take a look. , took a deep breath, good guy, and thought that he was just adjusting the stone flakes at random. It turns out that each flake represents the orientation of the four gods and beasts, and every time he flicks a flake, the direction of the rest of the flakes is changed, and the number is clearly remembered. Chu, the stone flakes that had been moved in more than two directions were also marked with emphasis. Gongsun not only began to admire Bai Yutang.

After a while, Bai Yutang raised his head and saw the wind blowing through the branches, causing the leaves to move, and asked again: "Gongsun, have you heard that different stones are moved, and the sounds are different?"

Gongsun thought about the stone flakes that Bai Yutang had moved twice before, and replied: "There are indeed some discrepancies."

Bai Yutang thought about it for a while, then twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "So, that part is a trick."

Gongsun still hasn't figured it out: "Blinding the eyes?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "This piece of stone can control the direction of the underground labyrinth, but not all pieces of stone can be changed, only some of them can change the path, so it will cause different sounds. We need to discard those first. Exclude the stone flakes, and then study the real stone flakes that will change the path, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Gongsun said clearly: "So that's the case. You really deserve to be Bai Wuye."

Bai Yutang said: "However, this method is just a trick first, we still have to solve it slowly later, in short, let's try it first."

Gongsun nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Zhan Zhao and his team followed old man Zhou to investigate Luoxi Mansion.Zhan Zhao told Bai Jintang about all the situations he encountered when he went up the mountain. Bai Jintang was obviously very interested in the eyes of the dead, so he said to Zhan Zhao: "I have heard of a kind of witchcraft before, which is about eyes. It's pretty similar to what you said."

Zhan Zhao: "Oh? Please enlighten me, brother."

Bai Jintang said: "That ethnic group regards the eyes as their totem, and all the clansmen respect the eyes. They believe that the eyes are given by the gods to allow them to experience the world, and they are incomparably noble. Therefore, after death, in order to show respect for the eyes, the dead must be killed. Gouging out his eyes and swallowing them in his mouth to keep them from rot, for men, he needs to put his left eye in his mouth, for women, his right eye, and the remaining eye needs to be sacrificed back to heaven and earth by the patriarch."

Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "Is there such a strange custom?"

Bai Jintang nodded: "I don't believe it either, so I've always regarded this as a legend, let's just hear it, today I heard you talking about the death conditions of those corpses, and I suddenly remembered... By the way, I also heard that this clan The previous patriarchs all had three eyes, which they called 'the eyes of the sky', and it is said that the eyes of the sky can see the past and the future."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "It's really a bunch of fools."

Bai Jintang smiled: "There are many strange things in this world."

Zhan Zhao also agreed, and thinking of Ji Lengyan who had been missing for a long time, he asked the few people who had been following them: "When was the last time you saw Brother Lengyan?"

Bai Jinyang said: "There were only three rooms left last night, so I have one room, Wu Xue has one room, and Ah Huan and Leng Yan have one room. I haven't seen others since we separated for a rest."

Min Wuxue looked at Zhan Zhao pitifully: "I'm the same as Brother Jin Yang, I haven't seen Brother Leng Yan since I returned to my room..."

Li Huan didn't speak at first, and after everyone looked at him, he said hesitantly: "Last night, we went to rest after returning to our room. I remember I heard some movement from Leng Yan in the middle of the night. It seemed that he opened the door and went out, but I thought he was going to get up at night, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and then fell asleep again, only to find that he hadn't come back when I woke up in the morning..."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "Do you remember what time it was?"

Li Huan thought for a while: "I don't know, I was sleepy at the time, and I didn't pay attention to the time."

Zhan Zhao said: "Mr. Zhou, please take us back to their room to take a look."

Old man Zhou nodded and walked ahead to lead the way.

As soon as Zhan Zhao was about to leave, someone pulled him down. When Zhan Zhao turned his head, he saw Bai Jintang pointing at the sky. Zhan Zhao looked up and couldn't help being startled. The clouds are as bright as blood.

Seeing the blood cloud, Li Huan felt a little uneasy and said, "It must be that Yaodao can't bear the loneliness, and is going out to find the master!"
