"It makes sense!" Brother Hongji was the first to agree with Sun Miaomiao's guess: "I also think that in this painting, Huo Zhengkui cherishes this painting so much that the fragments of the Holy Plate must be in the painting."
Tianxia Guihuo nodded: "Brother Hongji is right. It seems that the fragments of the Holy Plate are not in the painting."
Zhao Chenghuang agreed: "It's not in the painting."
Sun Miaomiao was originally very confident, but when she saw Brother Red Rooster being so sure, she pursed her lips, and Brother Red Rooster could tell, which means the fragments are not in the scroll."
Zhang Yuanqing: "Since Brother Red Rooster has said so, the picture scroll can be eliminated."
Brother Red Rooster stood there blankly, like a child abandoned by the whole world.
Guan Ya looked at Brother Red Chicken with pity and fun, "It's finally time for me to show off. With the knight props as evidence, Ms. JOJO must not be lying. Since Ms. JOJO doesn't know about the Holy Plate fragments, it's Mr. Huo who wants to test
Let's test it. Mr. Huo must have left clues for us. First of all, he would not leave the fragments of the Holy Plate in such an obvious place. The scroll can be eliminated. We can look for it in the house. Well, Ms. JOJO, Mr. Huo likes to write
Diary?"
People of that era liked to write essays and diaries, and even used newspapers as message boards to criticize each other.
Li Huamao shook his head: "Mr. Huo doesn't like writing diaries."
Zhang Yuanqing was just about to say, "Whoever is a serious person keeps a diary?" when he heard the civet cat change the subject: "Master likes to keep diaries."
Zhang Yuanqing also changed the subject: "It's good to keep a diary. Serious people like to keep diaries, but there is no need to find a diary. I have another fragment of the Holy Plate. The fragments can sense each other. As long as you hold it, you can find it."
piece of debris."
As he spoke, he took out a fan-shaped copper block engraved with patterns.
According to Fu Qingyang's last experience, the fragments of the Holy Plate can sense each other, so before exploring the maze, he had already asked Fu Qingyang for the fragment that would unlock the seal.
Although the single knight also has that fragment, the four fragments are in a sealed state, and the fragments will not interact with each other until the seal is released. Fu Qingyang also broke the fragment seal before contacting Zhou Jifeng Bird Master's internally sealed sacred disk fragment.
produce an induction.
And Zhang Yuanqing can be sure that the fragment in Zhai Cai's hand has not released the seal.
Seeing the gang leader taking out the fragments of the holy plate, Brother Red Rooster beamed with relief and said, "That's great, you don't have to use your brain now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yuanqing held the fragment of the holy plate and walked around the hall on the first floor, constantly touching the objects in the hall, including tables, chairs, sofas, paintings, potted plants and ornaments one by one.
"It seems that the Holy Plate fragments are not on the first floor. Ms. JOJO, can we go upstairs?" Zhang Yuanqing smiled.
The civet cat nodded.
The group of people hurried upstairs. On the second floor is the bedroom where the master rests. There is a study room, a tea room, a room full of flowers and green grass, and two antique rooms.
One room contains Chinese antiques, and the other contains European antiques.
Props and materials were not seen.
Zhang Yuanqing, like a Feng Shui master, held the fan-shaped copper block and walked around the second floor. He didn't feel the fragments, and his expression suddenly felt awkward:
"It seems like it's not on the second floor either? Ms. JOJO, can you go to the third floor?"
The slim civet cat pecked its head.
The group of people hurriedly rushed to the third floor, and after some exploration, they still could not find the fragments of the Holy Plate.
Brother Hongji said directly: "Are your fragments fake? Is that okay?"
Although the others were not as unemotional as the Fire Master, they looked at Zhang Yuanqing with suspicion.
"How about going to the two annex buildings next to it?" Zhang Yuanqing looked embarrassed.
Li Huamao shook his head: "Those two chimney buildings are the warehouses where old Berrent stores materials and props. There is nothing belonging to the owner or Mr. Huo. Moreover, the main building and the two annex buildings are not connected. You have to go out, but Da Qiao
He and Xiao Qiao didn’t listen to me. Their duty is to kill everyone who breaks into this place. Only old Berent is recognized by Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao.”
"Then, let's look at the diary." Zhang Yuanqing said that it didn't make sense. Fu Qingyang had personally tested it. If the fragments of the Holy Plate were close to each other, they would produce a reaction.
Could it be that Mr. Huo Zhengkui, in order to test future generations, specially applied two layers of seals to the fragments in the manor, so that the fragments cannot sense each other?
In this case, there is no point in letting Little Dobby hunt for treasures. He will most likely crawl directly to Old Berrent's collection.
The civet cat turned and walked towards the stairs: "Come with me, the master's notes are in the bedroom."
Everyone followed the civet cat back to the second floor and entered a room filled with the atmosphere of the Republic of China. The civet cat jumped on the red lacquered dressing table and patted the tabletop: "The notes are in the drawer."
Zhang Yuanqing walked to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and saw a book with a black cover.
This book has not been touched for many years and has become lightly covered with dust.
"Haven't old Berrent read the notes?" Zhang Yuanqing blew the dust on them.
Li Huamao said calmly: "I won't show it, and old Berent is Master Lei, a Master Lei with an upright character."
Guan Ya, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao and Tianxia Guihuo swarmed over. Brother Red Rooster knew that reading and deciphering characters was not his field, so he went to the antique room.
"Don't steal the things inside!" Tianxia Guihuo warned, which made the civet cat angry and everyone was in trouble.
"I know it well." Brother Red Rooster replied unhappily.
Do you really think me a fool? Can a fool be promoted to a saint?
Zhang Yuanqing opened the notebook and started reading his notes.
"On March 16, 1927, I was arrested while demonstrating with students. It was Mr. Huo who saved me, but I would not be grateful to him because he was a lackey of the Free Federation and went to China to fund Chang Kaishen on behalf of the president.
China must be independent and independent, and not be anyone or any country's lackey. China needs revolution. Chang Kaishen wants to massacre the revolutionary masses. He is a traitor and sinner of the revolution. Unfortunately, there are too many masters around him, and I can't get close to him, let alone
Assassination. The number of night wandering gods is too small."
"On the 20th, the students went on strike. I had nothing to do today. I was sitting in a teahouse. I met Mr. Huo by chance. I asked him why he saved me. He said that I looked like his dead wife. Bah, you shameless bastard. I got up.
He just left without paying any attention, but silence is the highest form of contempt."
"On April 8th, Mr. Huo is really a strange man. His story will fascinate most women in the world, and I am no exception."
The disciple on the previous page, the strange man on the next page, Miss Lu, what happened in the past half month? Does he look like your dead husband? Zhang Yuanqing complained hard in his heart.
Considering that Lu Yueshuang was young at that time and was still a student, and Huo Zhengkui's wife had already passed away, she must be much older, so it was reasonable for the little girl to be manipulated by the old man.
"On April 20th, Mr. Huo's mission to China ended. He told me that he would return to the Free Federation at the end of the month. He invited me to go to that beautiful country with him. I don't want to leave my homeland, even if it has been destroyed by war.
It is full of holes. But Mr. Huo said that only by going to the Free Federation can he complete his studies better and learn more advanced knowledge and ideas, so that he can do a career and save the country. Moreover, the world is raging with war, and the Free Federation is a rare
At the same time, the attitude of the Free Federation can influence the world structure. If I really want to save the motherland, going to the Free Federation is a good choice. He convinced me that I will take Xiaoli with me."
The raccoon cat jumped onto Zhang Yuanqing's back at some point, and said in a mixed tone of sadness and joy: "The little raccoon is me. I came to the Free Federation with my master at that time."
Then there are some experiences and insights on the ship.
"On May 7th, I finally arrived in New York County. I set foot on this beautiful country. I was placed in a manor in Queens. It turned out that Mr. Huo was the leader of the largest gang in Chinatown and the sponsor of the president.
He has been actively lobbying, hoping that the Free Federal Government can support China's guns and aircraft to help China fight against Japan. I always thought that he was a 'lackey' working for the Free Federal Government. I wrongly blamed Mr. Huo.
"He doesn't want me to be with him, because Heavenly Punishment and some conglomerates who hate China regard him as an enemy bandit, and he is afraid of involving me."
"On May 18, he arranged for me to enter New York County University, a world-renowned institution. I want to study for the rise of our motherland."
The following content is about Lu Yueshuang's study experience in the Free Federation. She actively gave speeches in school and accused the atrocities of the island country, but the effect was not ideal. The arrogant white chocolates did not care about what happened to China, and they always kept their eyes on Europe.
mainland.
They will be filled with righteous indignation because the homeless people were massacred, but they feel that the massacre by the island nation's troops in China is just a part of the war.
Lu Yueshuang's enthusiasm gradually cooled down under the impact of reality, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued to unite with Chinese Americans to march and accuse the island country's military of its evil deeds.
Secretly, she has to prepare a monthly copy of the spiritual realm.
Through his personal connections, Huo Zhengkui collected a lot of Wood Demon dungeon strategies for her. Coupled with Lu Yueshuang's own intelligence and talent, she upgraded in an orderly manner.
Every weekend, Huo Zhengkui would come to the manor to see Lu Yueshuang. The two discussed literature, war, and how to save the country. Sometimes they would have a big fight and break up unhappy.
After every quarrel, Huo Zhengkui would bring flowers and gifts the next weekend, and Lu Yueshuang would also make her signature snacks and guess words and solve puzzles.
Everything is recorded in notes, no matter how small it is.
Similar quarrels were ended when Huo Zhengkui proposed "controlling the president to save the country." In Huo Zhengkui's plan, he would try his best to bring the Free Federation into the war, change the world structure, and save the country through curves.
Moreover, Huo Zhengkui believes that this is in line with the general trend and has a very high success rate.
Many years later, the little boy was sent to the island country. After World War II, the Chinese Civil War, and red tide swept across the land of China, unblocking the country, bringing light, and establishing a new regime.
Lu Yueshuang and Huo Zhengkui lived a stable life for a period of time. After the new regime was stabilized, Huo Zhengkui actively contacted the Chinese government and wanted to establish an official organization belonging to the Chinese.
But it was declined by the authorities.
The Chinese government at that time did not trust Huo Zhengkui and was wary of him. Although this Chinese-American had made contributions to China during World War II, he was in power at that time.
Huo Zhengkui did not give up. According to Lu Yueshuang's notes, Huo Zhengkui visited China three times in a row and stated the pros and cons, hoping to establish an official organization as soon as possible to incorporate and control the increasing number of people.
Probably due to the increasing social disadvantages that gradually emerged, after three polite rejections, the Chinese government took the initiative to invite Huo Zhengkui to China to help form an official organization.
At that time, Huo Zhengkui was in the eighth-level domination realm. Looking at the whole country, he was ranked among the top ten. He had many soldiers and generals, and had rich experience. Coupled with his relationship with the Free Federation - Heavenly Punishment could effectively deter the domestic people.
.
Is the best candidate to form an official organization.
However, Huo Zhengkui rushed to China in a hurry, but what greeted him was a dangerous assassination, and he almost died.
Then, the Liberal Federal Government recalled Huo Zhengkui and refused to recognize the Chinese government, and relations between the two countries completely broke down.
Huo Zhengkui sadly returned to the Free Federation and died in the spiritual realm in 1960. After Huo Zhengkui's death, Lu Yueshuang rarely wrote notes. The following year, she also returned to the spiritual realm.
The past events of the two masters are attached to the paper. A lifetime of honor and disgrace only lasts a few thousand words.
Regarding Huo Zhengkui's assassination, Lu Yueshuang left a sentence in his notes: It was suspected to be the work of the Tongzhou Club.
"Same Boat Association?" Zhang Yuanqing said in astonishment: "How come I haven't heard of this organization?"
Huo Zhengkui was already a master at that time, and he could assassinate an eighth-level master, and almost succeeded, which shows that there are multiple masters in the Tongzhou Association.
He had never heard of such an organization.
After the founding of Xinhua, no unprecedented war broke out in the second region. The Chu family was exterminated twenty-one years ago, which was already the biggest conflict between the evil and lawful camps.
It is impossible for a large organization like the Tongzhou Club to be destroyed.
"Have you heard of it?" He looked at several teammates. As a night wanderer who has been training for half a year, he may still lack "experience", but these teammates are all experienced.
Guan Ya and others shook their heads repeatedly, saying that they had never heard of the Tongzhou Association.
That would be even more strange, Zhang Yuanqing said heartily.
"Ahem!" Tianxia Guihuo coughed: "Putting aside the boat meeting for now, we are here to find the fragments of the Holy Plate."
He looked at Guan Ya.
Guan Ya said without hesitation:
"Senior Lu spent a lot of time describing the items in his notes, and there are some in the manor, including porcelain, music box, tulip badge, agarwood, and tangerine peel."
So everyone found porcelain, music boxes and tulip badges from the antique room, as well as a jar of rotten tangerine peel and a jar of agarwood chips that became fragrant over time.
Guan Ya took out the bronze sword, and under the gaze of everyone, she gathered the sword energy and slashed it towards the outer edge of the porcelain.
Missed!
She took a deep breath, concentrated her concentration, and struck out with the second sword.
The porcelain is still unresponsive.
Guan Ya immediately said: "I can guarantee that the sword energy will hit it."
"It's a hit. Look, the paint has been scratched." Sun Miaomiao said.
There are white spots on the glaze on the edge of the porcelain, which were accidentally rubbed just now. Not every swordsman is called Fu Qingyang.
The civet cat didn't express its opinion and just watched silently.
Guan Ya then whittled several other pieces of porcelain in the same manner, but without exception, there was no reaction.
She then tried the same method on the music box, the jars containing tangerine peel and agarwood shavings, and the tulip badges, but found nothing.
"It doesn't seem to be the case!" Brother Hongji was a little anxious, "Your reasoning doesn't work, Guan Ya!"
The civet cat looked even more anxious, "Would you like to think of a solution?"
Guan Ya frowned and thought, she picked up the notes again and quickly read through them.
For a moment, she showed a look of determination, "I know, Tongquechun locked up Erqiao deeply. In Senior Lu's notes, Tongquechun locked up Erqiao four times, one of which was after Mr. Huo returned to the spiritual realm. When he was young
Self-mockery is understandable, but at that point in time, there was no need for her to say similar things again, unless she deliberately left a message."
"The two wood demons outside are Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!" Brother Red Rooster showed a rare wit.
Tianxia Guihuo suddenly realized: "No wonder there is no induction between the fragments. It turns out they are not in the house. In this way, a war is inevitable."
Everyone was worried and happy at the same time. They were happy because they finally knew where the fragments were, but they were worried because the two wood demons outside were too powerful and were master-level treants cultivated by Lu Yueshuang.
This should be Huo Zhengkui's final test for future generations.
Zhao Chenghuang immediately said: "Wake up Mr. Knight and prepare to fight."
"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing stopped them and frowned: "I don't think something is right."
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chenghuang asked.
Zhang Yuanqing thought:
"Senior Lu is a literary young girl who likes to guess words and solve riddles. The wood demons in the yard are called Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. She directly hinted in her notes that Tong Que Chun has locked up with Er Qiao. Isn't it too superficial and too simple?"
"Then what do you think?" Guan Ya asked.
From the character profile, what Yuan Shi said made sense, but her limited knowledge of ancient Chinese told her that Er Qiao corresponded to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
"Just follow the idea of guessing words and solving riddles!" Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Tongquechun has a deep lock on Erqiao. Erqiao is a character. Tongque refers to the Tongque Tower built by Cao Cao, so the focus of this sentence should be Erqiao and Tongque Tower."
"If Er Qiao refers to the two wood demons, then what does Tongque Terrace refer to?"
"This is the manor." Brother Red Rooster said.
"Isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows that the fragment is in the manor, but we still need to solve the mystery?" Zhang Yuanqing rolled his eyes.
At this time, he looked at the civet cat who was listening carefully and with great interest, and his heart moved:
"The transliteration of Ms. JOJO is Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao is Er Qiao, and the Tongque Terrace refers to Ms. JOJO's cat nest!"
The civet cat was listening with great interest, and his expression was like this: (^ω^)
When I heard this guy pointing the finger at his cat nest, his expression suddenly changed to this: ^^
"Ms. JOJO, do you have a cat nest?" Zhang Yuanqing asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, but I don't want to take you there." The civet cat muttered, and walked towards the bedroom door with its tail lowered: "Follow me!"
Everyone followed it away from the second floor and followed the stairs to the third floor.
The civet cat pointed to a certain square grid on the ceiling: "My cat lives in the attic. I don't like living with Mr. Huo and the owner. It's too noisy. I prefer to laze in the sun alone."
"Why didn't you take us up just now?" Zhang Yuanqing complained.
"Who would have thought that the master would seal the fragment on my bed?" The civet cat jumped up and slapped Zhang Yuanqing: "Don't damage my bed."
Li Huamao is just irritable. Zhang Yuanqing felt like his face was hit by a truck and it hurt. He turned back to look at his teammates:
"If the fragments are on Ms. JOJO's bed, then I won't bother Guan Ya. I can use the induction between the fragments to take them out."
As he spoke, the civet cat jumped up lightly, broke open the lattice, and entered the attic.
Zhang Yuanqing jumped up, grabbed the edge of the ceiling grid, and got in.
The attic is about 1.5 meters high and very spacious. The floor is clean and free of dust. There is a triangular roof above the head. There is a small window and a retro wooden step-by-step bed stands beside the window.
The Babu bed is one meter long and half a meter high. It is very compact. It is also covered with mosquito nets and soft cushions.
This is Ms. JOJO's private space.
As a civet cat that has a strong sense of territory and likes to be alone, as soon as it came in, it stared at Zhang Yuanqing intently:
"Hurry up and get out of my room."
Zhang Yuanqing leaned forward, came to Babu's bed, and took out the fragments again.
This time, the bed vibrated violently, and the fragments inside reacted with the fragments in his hand.
"It's really here!"
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed, and immediately took out the Purple Thunder Hammer, and under Ms. JOJO's sudden vigilance, he used the three-pointed thorn at the end of the handle to slash the bed frame hard.
——The three-sided thorn has the function of breaking armor.
A deep gash was suddenly cut into the wooden bed frame, and the seal immediately cracked. A little bit of brilliance escaped, and then gathered together, turning into a fan-shaped copper block.
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed: "Found it!"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He turned around and saw Ms. JOJO jumping up and throwing herself in his face: "This is the bed that the master made for me."
