Chapter 102: The Celestial Master Performs Arts, Not His Body (6)
It is said that the Rong family is a family of officials. Generations have been officials for hundreds of years, reaching the level of a country's prime minister, a frontier official, countless ministers and ministers, and more than a dozen generals. It can be said that they are both civil and military, and their glory has been passed down from generation to generation.
Linshui Town is the place where the Rong family's ancestral home is located. Although the family has moved to the capital a long time ago, the huge ancient house is left behind and is repaired every year. There must be no difference in the foundation.
However, starting from half a month ago, strange things began to happen to the usually peaceful old house.
The servants who stayed in the ancient house disappeared one after another. At first, they thought it was a servant who had escaped, and they only reported it to the official.
But later, none of the missing servants were found, neither alive nor dead. The servants who were worried about their children one day also disappeared without a trace the next day.
Until the end, it seemed that only the concierge was left guarding the door, and he was too scared to go deep into the mansion.
After reporting the truth, the current head of the Rong family faced up to this strange matter and approached the Jujiu sect.
Chiba looked at the old man in front of him who was over fifty years old. His hair and beard were completely white. His rickety body was somewhat tough. His thin cheeks and a pair of shining small eyes were also looking at her.
He is the concierge of this mansion and a servant of the Rong family. His name is Rong Baizhong.
"Please remember, Master Tian, that Master has given instructions. Although you need to comply with the requirements of Heavenly Master on all matters, the Rong family's mansion is the foundation for protecting the well-being of future generations and must not be damaged. Moreover, if Heavenly Master can stay outside the mansion,
If you cast spells to drive away evil traitors, the reward can be tripled."
Not letting her in? Qianye looked up and looked at the huge plaque on the high lintel. Although it was repaired every year, the plaque that had been weathered by wind and sun all revealed the vicissitudes of a hundred years of history.
The two big characters "Dignity and Majesty" on it, "Rongfu", declare the glory that has stood firm for more than ten generations.
There are two majestic stone lions beside the door, but they have sharp edges and corners, and their light is discernible. They are obviously newly replaced.
"Where did those pair of stone lions come from? How long ago?" Qianye said, patting the vermilion door. It was solid and heavy, and the repairs were made with extremely meticulous materials.
Rong Baizhong's back was hunched, but he raised his chin, half-closed his small eyes and said: "The Heavenly Master does not need to make a fuss about the stone lion. Although it was brought in in early spring, the stone for the stone lion came from Qing on Wuyun Mountain.
The jade stone was carved in ninety-nine and eighty-one days by skilled craftsmen, and then transported to Fengxian Mountain to recite sutras and consecrate it. It will sit at the door of the house on the auspicious day and at the right time. It is extremely auspicious and there will be no difference."
Qianye glanced at him and sneered, "You can't talk so much. Haven't you heard that when things go to the extreme, they will turn into reverse?"
"Master Tian might as well walk around the outside of the wall, maybe we can get some clues." Rong Baizhong commanded.
Chiba's face darkened, he pushed the door open, it seemed to be locked, and said directly: "I want to go in."
Just kidding, although she can get three times the reward if she solves it outside, obviously weird things happen inside. What can she do outside?
A hint of contempt flashed across Rong Baizhong's wrinkled face, and he said firmly: "This Celestial Master, the Rong family is a prominent family, and no artifacts in the house must be missing. If the Celestial Master wants to go in, please
The Heavenly Master kept two hundred thousand taels of silver in custody and will return them together with the reward after the matter is settled."
Qianye's heart suddenly thumped, two hundred thousand taels of silver?! She has been in this world for more than ten years. Not to mention seeing so much silver at one time, I am afraid that the total amount of silver she has seen is not even two hundred thousand taels.
