Chapter 409: The Secret Is the Big Tree That Attracts the Wind
Chapter 409 The secret is that the tree is big and attracts the wind. When Murong An led thirty elites to the foot of the back mountain, he suddenly gave an order and made everyone stop.
Just when everyone felt confused, Murong Ke was the first to stand up and ask Murong An: "I said you are not sick, right? Just now, you led us to search the back mountain; now, we have found the two of them.
You stopped my personal traces. What on earth do you want to do?"
Murong An ignored Murong Ke's accusation, but squatted down and inspected the bodies of the two guards, and said slowly: "The time when these two people died was probably in the evening. They were punched in the temples by a master.
The blood vessels in his head ruptured and he died from massive intracranial hemorrhage. Judging from the time and technique, this was most likely done by Xiao Tianming."
"Now that we know it was him, let's go to the mountain to search quickly! Catching him is a great achievement." Murong Ke said excitedly.
Murong An ignored Murong Ke's excitement and continued slowly: "Now, it is already dark, and we are not familiar with the terrain of the back mountain. They are hiding and we are hiding. If we risk going up to search the mountain, we will definitely be hit.
Their ambush.
From the corpses of these two people, you have also seen how powerful Xiao Tianming is. Are you willing to let your brothers turn into piles of corpses? Although we have never been in harmony, we don't want your brothers either.
Become an unjust ghost."
Murong Ke calmed down after hearing what Murong An said. After all, he was not Xiao Tianming's opponent. What's more, his brothers also felt timid after hearing what Murong An said. It was obvious that no one wanted to go up and die.
So, Murong Ke had no choice but to ask Murong An: "Then what can you do?"
"Send people to surround all the passages going down the mountain. We are waiting for work at the foot of the mountain and are not afraid of them coming. If they don't come down all night, after asking the owner of the family for instructions tomorrow morning, we will take the brothers up to search. It will be easier to find them tomorrow than at night.
"Murong An said to Murong Ke.
Murong An's strategy was a foolproof one. Murong Ke thought about it for a while and felt that there was nothing disadvantageous about it, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it as you said. But, how should we handle it? If they go down the mountain and are captured, how should the credit be calculated?" Murong Ke asked Murong An, never forgetting to mention it.
Credit.
Murong An despised Murong Ke in his heart, and then said to Murong Ke: "That's good. Your men and horses guard Nanshan, and my men and horses guard Beishan. Whoever catches them will get the credit. However,
If they escape from someone's domain, everyone must bear the responsibility independently."
"Okay! However, we will hold the northern mountain and you go to the southern mountain." Murong Ke bargained.
"Whatever!" Murong An glanced at Murong Ke with disdain, and took his thirty elites to station in Nanshan.
Xiao Tianming and Murong Xuan saw the sparks at the bottom of the mountain and knew that they had not found their whereabouts after searching other parts of the mangrove. They had already searched the back mountain - the forbidden area of the mangrove.
"It seems that they have discovered our traces." Xiao Tianming said to Murong Xuan with a smile.
Murong Xuan casually looked at the situation at the bottom of the mountain and said to Xiao Tianming lightly: "Don't worry, they won't come up until dawn."
"Why?" Xiao Tianming asked Murong Xuan with a smile.
Murong Xuan then explained to Xiao Tianming: "Murong An is cautious and suspicious, and will never take risks unless it is absolutely necessary. It is night now, and they have never been to the back mountain. They are not familiar with the terrain of the back mountain, and they are afraid of you."
He has great skills, so he will never lead people up the mountain at this time."
"It seems that you know Murong An very well! Do you often meet?" Xiao Tianming said half-jokingly, with a sour taste in his tone.
"What, are you jealous?" Murong Xuan looked at Xiao Tianming and asked.
"You are only allowed to be jealous of me, but I can't be jealous? Don't think that men are not jealous. Men are very powerful when they are jealous. Otherwise, how did you get angry and turn into a beauty?" Xiao Tianming stared.
, said to Murong Xuan with a serious face.
"It's true that you are jealous, but am I jealous?" Murong Xuan rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Murong An and I have only met two or three times, but you and Ouyang Zhi have more than
Is it that simple?"
"..." Xiao Tianming was speechless, he actually dug a hole and buried himself.
Murong Xuan looked at Xiao Tianming's depressed expression and couldn't help but laugh in her heart: "Sometimes, he is just a child who doesn't grow up."
"Let's go! Although they won't come up before dawn, there is no guarantee that they won't come up after dawn. We must find the secret exit before dawn. Otherwise, we will really change from miserable mandarin ducks to desperate mandarin ducks."
Xiao Tianming hugged Murong Xuan and walked forward.
"Tianming, when we reach the intersection ahead, let's stop for a while!" Murong Xuan said to Xiao Tianming, "I want to go and pay homage to my parents first. If we can really go out, we don't know when and how long we will be able to go out."
Come back and worship them. Tianming, do you think I, as a daughter, am very unfilial?"
"If you are unfilial, then won't I become a disobedient and unfilial son? Let's go! You went to meet my parents, and I will also go to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xiao Tianming hugged Murong Xuan and faced Murong Tian.
Walking towards the cemetery, Murong Xuan showed a happy smile on her face.
There are two tombstones very close to each other, one is buried with Murong Xuan's father, Murong Tian, and the other is buried with Murong Xuan's mother, Yin Enhui.
Xiao Tianming looked at the photo of Yin Enhui engraved on the tombstone, and couldn't help sighing that his mother-in-law was so lucky. Yin Enhui was very beautiful, and she was not inferior to his own mother. No wonder she could give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Xuan'er. However,
She died very young, before she was twenty-five years old. At that time, Murong Xuan was only three years old.
Just when Xiao Tianming lamented the fate of the beauty, Murong Xuan had already kowtowed to her mother three times. Seeing Xiao Tianming still standing there, Murong Xuan couldn't help but feel a little angry, glared at Xiao Tianming, and said unhappily: "What are you looking at?
You stole their beloved daughter away, heart and soul, and you didn't even come here to kowtow to my mother. Please forgive you and bless you in heaven."
"Oh!" Xiao Tianming chuckled and hurriedly knelt down next to Murong Xuan. He unequivocally kowtowed three times to Yin Enhui's grave and promised to take care of Murong Xuan for the rest of her life and give her happiness for the rest of her life.
Murong Xuan led Xiao Tianming to worship her parents. She did not dare to stay too long and hurriedly started looking for a way out.
"This is the end of the map. I think the secret passage should be around here." Murong Xuan looked at the sudden stop mark on the map and frowned.
Xiao Tianming nodded and looked around with the faint light of the flashlight. Because this was a cemetery, it seemed a bit desolate. Although it was a hot summer, Xiao Tianming still felt a little bit cold when the cold wind blew in the middle of the night.
Feeling the coolness, he hurriedly put his long-sleeved coat on Murong Xuan's body.
A happy smile appeared on Murong Xuan's face, and she continued to walk forward without rejecting Xiao Tianming's kindness.
"Tianming, look there, there seems to be an isolated grave." Murong Xuan pointed to the small grave not far away and said to Xiao Tianming.
"I saw it too. Maybe the secret passage we are looking for is inside, let's go and have a look!" Xiao Tianming pulled Murong Xuan over.
It is said to be a tomb, but it is actually a tombstone made of marble and a coffin made of ceramic tiles. There is no name written on the tombstone, only one sentence is written: "Everyone who is a member of the Murong family and sees this monument must kneel down."
"Who carved this here? Could it be a pretense?" Murong Xuan frowned and asked Xiao Tianming.
"I don't know either! However, I think this tombstone and the coffin are both old and probably not newly made. Xuan'er, since you are a descendant of the Murong family, you might as well kowtow to this tombstone.
Maybe, we want the secret passage
Right here." Xiao Tianming's mind suddenly recalled the scene in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", where Duan Yu kowtowed to a stone statue a hundred times before he found the magic of "Beiming Magic" and "Lingbo Weibu".
It's a great achievement, so I couldn't help but say to Murong Xuan.
Although Murong Xuan had a skeptical attitude in her eyes, she still knelt down to the stone monument as Xiao Tianming said.
"Neither the stone tablet nor the coffin responded. It seems that I have read too many novels." Xiao Tianming couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just as he was about to reach out to help Murong Xuan, he saw Murong Xuan pointing to the lower part of the tombstone and said excitedly, "Tianming,
Look there."
Xiao Tianming looked in the direction Murong Xuan pointed and saw a series of symbols written on the end of the tombstone that Xiao Tianming did not recognize.
"What is this?" Xiao Tianming looked at these inexplicable symbols and asked Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan smiled and said to Xiao Tianming: "This is the secret code of our Murong family. Translated into common language, it means a big tree attracts the wind."
"A big tree attracts the wind?" Xiao Tianming recited it silently twice, and suddenly realized: "So, the entrance to the secret passage is on the windward side of the largest tree?"
"I'm not sure either. However, I think it should be close to ten." Murong Xuan stood up hurriedly and pulled Xiao Tianming to find the largest tree. "Sure enough, Xiao Tianming's inference was correct. The entrance to the secret passage is at the largest tree.
The tree is facing the wind.
Xiao Tianming carefully clicked the switch on the tree, and a door immediately opened in the branch of the tree, and the inside of the branch was hollowed out.
Seeing that there was no mechanism, Xiao Tianming carefully pulled Murong Xuan in.
