Judging from the number of windows, this small building should be two stories.
This time everyone learned to be smart and did not rush in immediately. Instead, they first observed the surroundings. There was nothing to observe around them. There was nothing.
But Gong Yueyue discovered that there was a cobblestone path between the door and the small building. Because there was no moonlight today, she would not have noticed it unless she looked carefully.
In such an empty yard, a path would not be built for no reason. It must be to remind someone.
People are accustomed to taking shortcuts. It is written in "Arithmetic" that the straight line between two points is the shortest.
But in fact, when people walk, if they don't emphasize it themselves, what they walk out is not a straight line, but a curve. Even if they pay special attention, the straight line they walk out will be deviated.
So, does this cobblestone path mean that we must walk along this path?
Now the three of them are stepping on the cobblestones.
Forsythia asked: "Did you find anything?"
Sanya shook her head, "Nothing."
Gong Yueyue expressed her thoughts, and there is indeed some truth to them.
The three of them nodded and decided to walk along the cobblestone path. Although the path was narrow, if the mechanism was like this, it would be too simple. It wouldn't be a problem at all!
But it would be nice if things were that simple.
"not good!"
Gong Yueyue exclaimed, "There is something abnormal about this pebble!"
Not to mention it was extremely slippery. When she stepped in just now, it felt as if the pebbles were sinking in, as if she pressed the button of the mechanism. Gong Yueyue seemed to hear a slight clicking sound.
But the sound was so quiet that I didn't even know if it was an illusion.
"what happened?"
Forsythia also stopped.
"I'm fine."
After a while, no hidden weapons appeared, and there were no strange sounds. Gong Yueyue thought maybe she was too nervous.
The three of them continued walking and were about to reach the small building.
………I am the dividing line of the agency…………
Master bedroom
Gong Tianze, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master Xiang?"
Lin Jiaojiao woke up in a daze and said, "What time is it? I will wait for you to change my clothes!"
She closed her eyes, and her voice was soft and waxy, which was so sweet that it touched people's hearts. If it were a normal time, Gong Tianze would definitely want to kiss Fangze, and even more so, he would be immersed in the gentle land and the clouds and rain.
But now, he frowned and ignored it. He just said: "It's still early, I have something to do, so you can go to bed first!"
Gong Tianze put on a coat and went out.
There was a guard standing at the door, who looked like a piece of wood.
Gong Tianze said: "Go to the central office of the agency!"
"yes!"
The guard was good at Qinggong and quickly led Gong Tianze to the central office of the agency.
It is said to be the central room of the agency, but there may not be any agency inside. There is only a huge stone plate with many pebbles placed on it. It looks chaotically distributed. If an outsider sees it, they might think it is a child.
What a prank!
But in fact, Gong Tianze clearly remembers where every pebble here should be.
He squinted his eyes and looked at each pebble. Suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank and he ordered: "Arrange people and go to the study!"
The voice was fierce and the orders were decisive. He didn't look like a civil official, but like a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. His momentum was so overwhelming that the guard cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
A team of thirty people has been assembled, of which fifteen people use bows and arrows, and fifteen people use spears. They can attack at close range or from a distance.
The study was gradually surrounded.
Seeing that they were about to reach the small building, Forsythia suddenly stopped and frowned.
"not good!"
"not good!"
Forsythia and Sanya said in unison, and with a tacit understanding, each of them had to hold up Gong Yueyue with one arm, and then used Qinggong to leave.
"Fire the arrow!"
Someone on the wall shouted.
At a glance, there were all densely packed archers. Those bows and arrows were wearing armor and holding the best weapons. Even though there were only three people facing them, they still treated them seriously without any contempt.
With a falling sound, like rain, arrows fell one after another.
Forsythia and Sanya swung their swords to deflect the flying arrows, making a clanging sound.
It’s really overwhelming to face so many people head-on now.
For half a day, the three of them could not move at all, but the people outside gradually came closer, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.
Gong Yueyue knew that she had dragged Forsythia and Sanya down now, otherwise the two of them would have been able to fight their way out and escape with their own abilities.
Thinking of this, Gong Yueyue ran to the small building while the two were fighting and had no time to pay attention. Everyone's attention was also on Forsythia and Sanya.
"Run quickly and leave me alone!"
Gong Yueyue roared, turned around and ran into the small building without hesitation.
As soon as Gong Yueyue entered the small building, the door behind her closed automatically. The originally dark space suddenly lit up, with many candles lit on the surrounding walls, making the whole room look like daylight.
The layout of the small building is no different from that of ordinary buildings, with east and west wings and a back room. The only difference is that the hall is extra large, like a roof added to the yard.
There is a staircase on the left that leads upstairs.
This is really a two-story house.
In China, such houses were not common. Generally, only foreigners liked to build such two-story buildings. Gong Yueyue had seen some when she was in Hangzhou, so she was not surprised.
It's just a little strange to see it in a political center like Kyoto.
Gong Yueyue was not in a hurry to go upstairs. She looked around and found a strange sculpture in the room, about the size of a palm. When she looked carefully, she found that it was a man nailed to a cross made of wood.
The entire sculpture is carved very finely, and even the texture of the wood is handled particularly well. The man's naked upper body has well-structured muscles and is lifelike. This kind of carving is simply ingenious, and even the most powerful swords may not be able to do it.
Come out. It can be seen that the person who carved this statue was a master sculptor.
There were traces of whipping on the man's body. At first glance, he felt eerie and creepy. But the man's expression was too calm, even with a gesture of pity.
It's like a Buddha sculpture in a temple that saves all sentient beings.
Gong Yueyue wanted to take a closer look at the statue. She reached out to take it, but she did not move it. The statue seemed to be fixed on the wall and could not move at all.
But since this statue is a master-level work, it definitely would not have been completed in this small building. A master-level figure always has a bit of arrogance, how could he condescend to him!
At this time, the door of the small building was banging, but people outside seemed to be unable to get in.
There is a mechanism that will automatically close after being opened. Unless the people inside come out, no one from the outside can get in. Gong Yueyue guessed that the mechanism of this small building should be like this. (To be continued)
