Gu's mansion occupies a vast area. Although the guests have lived in the mansion for more than a month, it is someone else's mansion after all, so they cannot be familiar with any area. With Lu Qianfan chasing after him, Mu Qijun and Leng Mo ran as soon as they could, and had no time to choose. After turning over several walls, Lu Qianfan didn't know if Lu Qianfan got rid of them. The two were completely lost.
Lu Qianfan probably won't be able to catch up for a while, Leng Mo's heart relaxes for a while, and he knelt down on the ground with his sword, Mu Qijun hurriedly supported him: "Mo!"
"It's okay... let's run quickly..." Leng Mo stood up with force, and staggered again after taking two steps. Mu Qijun put one arm around his neck and directly hugged him, he struggled, "Let me go..."
Mu Qijun hugged him tightly, "You're injured, you can't use up your energy anymore! I'll hug you faster!"
"You..." Leng Mo struggled a few more times, to no avail, and said, "You are also injured..."
Mu Qijun tried his best to smile at him, "I'm fine."
Leng Mo looked at the cold sweat on his forehead, raised his eyebrows, but stopped talking.
Zhizhuyuan must not be able to return, and I don't know where Lu Qianfan chased him. Mu Qijun walked against the wall for a while, and came across a corner in front of him. He observed carefully for a while, and suddenly said "Huh".
"What?" Leng Mo asked.
Mu Qijun whispered: "I saw Gu Qingyan. Do you want to ask him for help?"
When Lu Lixiao left, he said that he could ask Gu Qingyan for help if he encountered danger or difficulty, so this person should be trustworthy.
Leng Mo was still hesitating, but it was Gu Qingyan who noticed them, and shouted vigilantly: "Who is it?!" Before the lingering sound fell, his men rushed over, with sharp swords lying in front of him.
Mu Qijun took two steps back in fright, "Don't be impulsive!!"
"It's you?" Gu Qingyan froze for a moment, put the long sword back into the scabbard with his backhand, and looked at the two people's looks at the moment with profound eyes.
Leng Mo realized the meaning in his eyes, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Put me down!"
"Oh..." Mu Qijun reluctantly helped Leng Mo stand still.
Gu Qingyan coughed twice in embarrassment, and said: "Junior Brother Leng, Mr. Mu, you..."
"Brother Gu, we are being hunted down, can we find a hiding place for us to hide?" Leng Mo said.
Gu Qingyan was shocked when he heard the words: "Who dares to be so arrogant in Gu's residence?!"
"It's a long story, and I'm afraid that person will catch up."
Gu Qingyan glanced at the two of them suspiciously, then turned around: "You two come with me."
Not far from where the three of them lived, there were two small empty yards built back to back. On the opposite backs of the two yards, there was a small aisle for two people to walk side by side, and the ground was covered with weeds. Gu Qingyan came to the middle of the aisle, bent his knees and touched the ground, he did not know what he touched, and then Mu Qijun and Leng Mo were surprised to see him lift up a half-foot-square turf.
"The thirteenth uncle who died here is the favorite to delve into the knack mechanism. When he was alive, he had secretly built many secret passages and secret rooms in many places in the mansion. This is where I secretly followed him when I was young. Below is a ventilated empty room with walls There are kerosene lamps, the two of you will hide here for a while, I still have something to do, I will come back to meet you later!"
Mu Qijun looked at Leng Mo and decided to trust Lu Lixiao's judgment. After he went through the door, Gu Qingyan covered the turf again, and it looked exactly the same as before.
A few moments after Gu Qingyan left, Lu Qianfan's figure appeared here. His eagle-like eyes carefully observed every inch of the corner, and even walked back and forth twice on the turf where the underground secret room was hidden, before finally leaving angrily.
Mu Qijun took out a torch and lit the kerosene lamp on the wall, the dark light spread out, illuminating the clear underground secret room.
Leng Mo sat down at the stone table in the center of the secret room, his face looked very pale in the half-light. Mu Qijun asked with concern: "How are you doing? Otherwise... I'll go out and find you a doctor?"
"It's dangerous outside, don't go out. I just suffered from an internal injury before, I just need to recuperate for a few days." Leng Mo took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and took it.
Mu Qijun lifted his clothes and sat down on the stone bench, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, "Who is that guy pretending to be the ninth master of the Gu family?"
"That person should be from the Lu family, and only the fourth senior brother knows the exact identity." Leng Mo took out a small half volume of old animal skin books, and sighed: "Fortunately, I have carefully familiarized myself with the book as the fourth senior brother said. With his body skills, and the fact that the man is injured, otherwise we would have been in danger for you and me!"
Mu Qijun smirked and said: "If I die with you, then I am willing..."
Leng Mo turned his face away, if the light here was a little brighter, he could tell that his cheeks had fainted two thin patches of red.
"In short, it can be speculated that that person is related to the recent incidents on Zhuri Mountain. There are people behind him, and they are planning something. The fourth brother and the younger brother have already been involved..."
Mu Qijun nodded again and again, and touched the decorative stone teapot on the stone table. This stone teapot was integrated with the tabletop. He held the handle and used a little force inadvertently, and unexpectedly turned the teapot in a different direction. Then there was a low "boom—" sound, and the stone bricks on the wall moved relative to the stairs coming down, and a dark passage appeared!
The two looked at each other in surprise, it turned out that this underground secret room built by Gu Shisanjian was connected to other places!
"Go, go and have a look." Leng Mo picked up Xuehua and stepped forward.
The secret passage is no better than a secret room, there is no lamp, and you can't see your fingers when you walk a few feet away. Leng Mo took out the Ye Mingzhu to illuminate, and found that there were obvious traces of construction in several places in the secret passage. Gu Shisan probably planned to build an underground passage extending in all directions in Gu's mansion, but he passed away early, and the project stalled.
This secret road is longer than expected, and there are many twists and turns. Unless you are very familiar with the Gu family's journey, you will never know where you are going.
At the end of the secret passage is a staircase leading to the top. The stone slabs on the top of the staircase are tightly packed without a trace of light. Mu Qijun raised his hand and tapped lightly, but there was no response. After a while, he tapped again, but everything was still silent.
"There should be no one up there." He mouthed to Leng Mo.
Leng Mo nodded, and the two of them tried to push the stone slab upwards together. As expected, the slate was pushed open, and light flowed down.
"... It seems like a room... It's quite luxurious, very clean... Shall we go out?"
"This room is much more expensive than the guest room. It should be the owner's house. I just don't know who it belongs to..."
The two people peeked out four eyes from under the floor to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Judging from the furnishings, colors, and styles of the room, this should be an elderly woman's bedroom, and the floor tile above their heads is located in the corner of the room. A row of black wooden stands half-blocked the porcelain, very inconspicuous, as long as the owner of the house didn't take the initiative to yell loudly, the owner of the room probably wouldn't notice that there were four eyes looking at him after staying in the bedroom for a few days.
The two were amazed at the evil taste of the late Thirteenth Master of the Gu family. It's okay to like organs, but he built the entrance and exit of the secret passage in the women's boudoir... I don't know how he managed to build the secret passage, and the owner of the house didn't notice it.
Leng Mo abides by the way of a gentleman and does not approve of peeping at women, so he said to wait for Gu Qingyan in the secret room, Mu Qijun nodded, the two were about to put the floor down silently, but they heard a "creaking" sound, and the bedroom door closed. Open, there are footsteps approaching.
Through the black wooden stand, the two saw Mrs. Gu's figure appearing in the room. It turned out that the owner of this room was Mrs. Gu. And Mrs. Gu did not close the door after entering the house, but another person followed in, and it was Gu Jue.
Mu Qijun and Leng Mo exchanged glances, they both lowered the floor silently, but they didn't intend to go back just like that.
Mrs. Gu was "protected" by several elders of the Gu family, and almost no one could see her. Moreover, she is now insane, so seeing her is meaningless. It must not be easy for Gu Jue to appear here!
Sure enough, Mrs. Gu walked to the center of the room and suddenly stopped moving. Gu Jue stuck two talismans on her left and right shoulders, and then quickly drew a formation on the ground with her as the center of the circle with blood-red cinnabar , and then made a bunch of complicated arrangements, and finally came to Mrs. Gu, put two fingers together between her eyebrows, moved her lips slightly, and said something in a low voice.
The old lady Gu looked blank and didn't respond, but Gu Jue seemed to have got what he wanted, quickly withdrew the formation, helped the old lady sit in the chair, opened the door and left.
The whole process is crisp and neat.
Leng Mo patted Mu Qijun's hand, motioning him to put down the floor.
The two returned the same way, and Mu Qijun asked softly in the secret passage: "Aren't you going to see how the old lady is doing?"
"If I'm not mistaken, what Gu Jue is using is a profound and lost god-stimulating array, which will not harm the safety of the old matriarch. He probably just wants to get some information from the old matriarch, and you know that the old matriarch I can't answer any questions now." Leng Mo said.
Mu Qijun shrugged and said nothing more.
Not long after returning to the secret room, Gu Qingyan came down. He didn't say anything, first handed two sets of servant's clothes to the two of them to change into, and took them back to his room in a deception all the way, before asking: "What's going on?"
Mu Qijun said: "Young master Gu, you'd better inform the elders who are in charge of the Gu family immediately that Gu Jiuye has been replaced by the murderer!"
"what?"
Mu Qijun recounted what happened just now, but he didn't mention Gu Jue's God-stimulating Formation on Old Madam Gu for the time being.
After hearing this, Gu Qingyan couldn't believe it: "Then where is my real uncle Jiu?"
Both Mu Qijun and Leng Mo wisely remained silent.
According to what Lu Qianfan said, he never liked to leave future troubles, so the real Gu Jiu's body is probably dead now.
Gu Qingyan said to himself angrily: "I'm going to report to my third uncle to take someone to capture that guy now!"
"The man's identity was exposed and he failed to kill us. He has probably left the Gu family. He is agile and proficient in disguise, so it must not be easy to track him down." Leng Mo said.
Gu Qingyan's fists were clenched. Obviously, apart from Gu Jiu, who was in danger, he also blamed Lu Qianfan for the death of his father Gu Er.
It was quiet in the room, suddenly there was a sharp "bang", Leng Mo and Gu Qingyan looked over in a blink of an eye, and at the same time they were shocked - only to see that the place where Mu Qijun was standing just now was empty in the blink of an eye! Instead, a terrified chicken squatted among the scattered clothes on the ground!
Gu Qingyan: "... Where did the hen come from?"
Mu Qijun: "I am a rooster!"
Leng Mo: "So you are a demon?"
Three people: "..."
Gu Qingyan suspected that he was dizzy by Lu Qianfan, Mu Qijun is from Qingyang Mountain, how could the people from Qingyang Mountain be monsters? But then came a dialogue that subverted the three views.
Leng Mo said: "Aren't you from the same hometown as my junior brother? You are a demon, what is he?"
Mu Qijun pointed at his fingers cowardly: "If it's a fox demon, it's the spirit fox from before."
"Does Fourth Senior Brother know?"
"Of course I know, Daxia Lu contracted Ruoruo into a spiritual pet before he brought Ruoruo back to Qingyang Mountain. How could anyone not know about their relationship later on?"
Gu Qingyan: "..." Qingyang Mountain's formal disciples are also demons? Are they talking about the Lu Lixiao and Zhou Ziruo he knew? If Zhou Ziruo is a fox demon
Leng Mo stroked his forehead, unexpectedly calmly accepted this setting. He just said, the spirit fox raised by Mu Qijun has never appeared with Zhou Ziruo at the same time, both the spirit fox and Zhou Ziruo have been together with Lu Lixiao all day long, looking back at the beginning, there are clues everywhere . In comparison, he was even more surprised that Mu Qijun was a demon.
He looked down at the cock that looked at him pitifully on the ground, "Why did you suddenly transform into a prototype?"
The rooster held Mo Qinghuajue in its two wings, "The palm that person hit me just now was thanks to Mo Qinghuajue helping me melt away most of my spiritual power, so Mo Qinghuajue's spiritual power was temporarily lost, and I have to wait for it to condense the spiritual energy of the world again." Only then can I change back... Mo, I really didn’t mean to lie to you, but I never had the chance to tell you! Although I am a monster, I am a kind and righteous monster. I grew up in Qingyang Mountain and never harmed anyone. , don't ignore me because of this!"
Leng Mo ignored what he said later, and said with a headache: "What should we do now? You have become like this, how can you keep the guests in Gu's residence?"
Lu Lixiao told them to keep the high-level people from various immortal sects in Zhuri Mountain, and after much deliberation, the two decided to take the most common path—if they want to keep this person, they must first keep his stomach! So Mu Qijun negotiated with the kitchen of Gu's family to cook the food himself, planning to cook the Manchu banquet for a few days and leave the foodies behind!
But now that he's turned into a chicken, the plan is apparently aborted.
Mu Qijun lowered his chicken head in frustration, Leng Mo sighed, and inadvertently looked at Gu Qingyan who was still in the immediate state of his brain. With so many things happening in the Gu family in the past few days, I don't know if they can still bear the secret of Gu Jue being the doorman of Jiangyue Palace.
Speaking of Gu Jue, what exactly did he ask Mrs. Gu about? What exactly does this person want to do
Back mountain, ancestral temple.
During the hundred years since the Gu Family Ancestral Temple was built, only a very few elders knew that in the wall shared by two adjacent wing rooms in the backyard of the ancestral hall, there existed a space no less than the size of an ordinary room like another world. The turquoise lights are always on, and the dim light flows quietly on the rows of old bookshelves. The thick ancient books exude a long-lasting smell, permeating the cold air.
Gu Jue counted silently in his heart, and walked silently through row after row of bookshelves. When he read a certain number, he stopped and turned in, from the outside to the inside, from the bottom to the top, and finally hit the target with precision. Make sure it's in a book.
He took out a roll of animal skin paper from his sleeve, and as if in response, the thick book instantly turned into a roll of animal skin paper that looked almost identical. He unfolded the animal skin paper, and the second half of the story continued slowly under the weird and bizarre narrative method of the Ghost Mirror Clan...
The second half of the story is different from the first half, and there are brief written records. Gu Jue read it quietly and seriously, his normally calm eyes gradually became confused with shock and fear, after watching the final ending of the story, his face turned pale.
Holding the two pieces of animal skin tightly, Gu Jue turned around and rushed out, rushing back home. He ran into countless servants and maidservants along the way, but he was not as friendly and courteous as he used to be.
Until he pushed open the gate of Fanghua Garden—
The melody of the yueqin led to a clearness in his messy mind, and he suddenly felt that his legs were as heavy as a thousand catties.
Sitting under the huge peach blossom tree in the courtyard, she seemed to have already known why he came.
"You came… "
Just like the day when we first met, the bright and clear smile under the bright morning light, why didn't he realize the moment he was fascinated by it, her smile is as gorgeous as the fireworks that light up the night, but it is destined to disappear forever at the end of the dawn.
