When Chen Guan and Xuezi entered, they subconsciously saw Li Zhenbei pressing several protruding stone buttons on the wall inside. It was a bit cumbersome and complicated. If you look closely, there are nine protruding stones in total, arranged in an order.
It looks like the nine stars of the Big Dipper. The seven stones look like the Big Dipper spoon, while the other two stones are a little outside and slightly lower.
Li Zhenbei was careful when pressing the switch, knowing that it was a matter of life and death for everyone. There was almost no sound when the switch was turned off, which was really mysterious.
"This is a trap set up by Taoist masters!" Chen Guan is familiar with the Jiejiao Taoist classics and knows that the Taoist scriptures record that "the nine stars of the Big Dipper are seven visible and two hidden." However, most people in the world only know that the seven Big Dipper spoons in the sky can do this.
Generally speaking, a master who sets the mechanism button to become the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper must be a Taoist master who is accomplished in Taoism.
The brick wall was more than ten meters deep, and after turning a corner, I saw a secret room inside. The secret room was actually hidden in the rocks behind the house, because Mr. Li's courtyard was built at the foot of the only low mountain in the town.
Yes, the townspeople here like to build their houses on flat land. Apart from the Lingshou Ancient Temple, the only one built against the mountains is the Li Family Courtyard.
I don't know how thick the top of the secret room is, but it looks like there are countless small holes that are winding through. A little bit of the outside sunlight shines in, which ensures air circulation without being completely dark. Such small holes are not straight.
Small holes are emitted in various twists and turns, so even if you see small holes on the rocks more than ten meters away, they are just some dark small holes. You can't see the inside of the secret room, so you won't be suspicious!
There is a layer of several inches of sand on the floor of the secret room, and there is a very thin spring flowing silently in the corner. There are also a few weeds with the most amazing vitality growing beside the spring.
Chen Guan went in and saw that only Mr. Li, his wife, and his daughter were hiding in the secret room, and there was only one soldier following Li Zhenbei. He also recognized it. The soldier here was nicknamed Little Guitou, and he was usually very clever.
Diligent and sharp-tongued, he is Li Zhenbei's number one confidant. The little devil's head is bandaged, and it is covered with blood. It seems that he is also seriously injured, but he is standing vigilantly, half leaning on the wall and half leaning on the mechanism.
Monitor the movement outside two meters behind the brick wall. There are two peepholes cleverly installed behind the brick wall. The color is almost the same as that of the earthen wall. People outside cannot see inside, but people inside can see outside through the peepholes.
"The Japanese have massacred the entire town outside! How cruel!" Chen Guan briefly talked about the situation outside: "Then we killed two Japanese ninjas and were chased by the Japanese. Fortunately, we ran here.
We just escaped from danger! The Japanese should be divided into three teams. I have seen one of the teams with seven people, so there are about twenty people in total! The machine gun bullets are very dense, and we finally got rid of them!"
While listening to Chen Guan's words, Xuezi tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage the gunshot wound on Chen Guan's left arm, and asked softly: "Brother, does it hurt?"
"Come on, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my...sister...her name is Xuezi!" Chen Guan saw Mr. Li looking at Xuezi. After all, Xuezi and everyone had never met before, so he hurriedly said, and introduced Xuezi again.
Li Zhenbei and Mr. Li's family. He was not good at lying, and his face turned red. However, the light in the secret room was relatively dark, so no one saw his blush, and no one had the intention to pay attention to him at this time.
Xuezi hurriedly smiled and nodded to say hello. In the past, when she first met in Japan, she would bend down and bow. However, when Xuezi studied Chinese with Chen Guan, she also fully learned the meeting etiquette of China and understood that there is no need to bow, so she just nodded and said hello this time.
None of these people are practitioners and have not discovered spiritual energy. She does not need to practice Taoist rituals.
Li Zhenbei and Mr. Li glanced at each other and nodded after listening to Xue'er's words. They no longer paid attention to Xuezi, because now Xuezi's hairstyle has grown from the short hair that was just above the shoulders when Chen Guan first rescued her.
She has long hair that reaches her waist, wears ordinary clothes, and the accent she used when she spoke to Chen Guan just now is exactly like that of a common village girl in China. There is nothing unusual about her. They all thought she was just a friend of Chen Guanxin.
Chen Guan is not stupid, and of course he will not say that Xuezi is Japanese to cause unnecessary trouble and make everyone in the army panic.
"Last night, I was lucky enough to spend the whole night drinking with the little nigger at Gentleman Li's house. I was so drunk that I didn't come home. This morning, I heard the bustling and noisy outside. When I went out, I saw that the Japanese were shouting and chasing the whole town with guns in their hands early in the morning.
When people went out to gather, I knew something was wrong, so I asked Mr. Li and his family to hide. Then when I went out with the little nigger, I met several Japanese who were knocking on doors and driving people away. When I returned to the company, I saw that ten other people from our company were there.
All these people were shot dead at the station, leaving blood all over the place! We wanted to take revenge, so we laid an ambush and attacked a group of Japanese. We shot and killed three of them from behind, but we were also injured! The Japanese actually released eagles to attack in the sky.
We, and there was a ninja coming from the sky hundreds of meters away, we were busy trying to escape! Fortunately, we were familiar with the road, and we escaped from the eagles through the small door passages of various houses!" Although Li Zhenbei spoke softly,
But his eyes were firm and he spoke loudly: "Damn Japanese ninja, I don't know how many years and months it will take to repay this blood debt of the whole town."
I think the Japanese ninjas had already used vultures to collect intelligence, and they had sneaked in countless times before arriving. Therefore, they knew that the only resistance force in the town was Li Zhenbei's small company of more than a dozen people, so they killed them first at night.
Everyone in the company, only the soldiers in the town, most of whom were outsiders, definitely didn't know the secret of Qilonghui's drinking cave, so the ninja didn't even ask. This time, only Li Zhenbei and Xiao Guitou accidentally drank and stayed up all night.
Escaped.
Of the three teams of Japanese ninjas, the obvious leading pair is the team led by the two vultures led by the master of surviving the thunder tribulation. Hattori Sha and Koga Sakurako, whom Chen Guan and Yukiko met, are the second team, and the third team is almost
They were all troops, the same team that Li Zhenbei fought head-on with.
Chen Guan also said bitterly: "Those are the ninjas of the Japanese Koka sect, the minions of the Japanese Emperor and the head of Koka! I secretly listened to what they said, and it seemed that this time they were not looking for the Nine-top Iron Brake of Kanto a year or two ago.
The treasure of the mountain, what kind of special force are they seeking immortality? They came specifically for our Lingshou Town! They covet Lingshou Mountain as the geomantic treasure of the Seven Dragons Looking Back Drinking Cave, and I heard them questioning the townspeople, and it seemed that they were
What kind of monster are you looking for, a monster with an astonishing and strange roar? Are you also looking for some Taoist training technique?"
Gentleman Li was also very kind to Chen Guan in the past. Occasionally, even if he did not ask Chen Guan for herbs, he would send rice, flour, and vegetables to Chen Guan to take care of the lonely Taoist priest. Now he heard what Chen Guanyi said,
His face changed slightly, and he said with some excitement: "As expected, he is a descendant of Lingshou Ancient Temple, and he actually knows the Koka Ninja! Hey, after thirteen or four years, I finally heard about the Feng Shui of the Seven Dragons Looking Back at the Drinking Cave.
It’s a name, no one has mentioned it for a long time!”
Chen Guan and Xuezi were both surprised. Mr. Li, a gentle and civilized man, actually knew about the Koka Ninja and the Seven Dragons Looking Back at the Drinking Cave? Could it be that Mr. Li also had some secrets?
When Gentleman Li saw Li Zhenbei looking at him with surprise and confusion, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Li Xian, you have only been stationed in our town for eight years, so of course you don't know! I and the original Taoist priest of Lingshou Ancient Temple, Yunyangzi, once
We have met several times, and Yunyangzi is a master from this world. Thanks to him for not disdainfully possessing me and befriending me, I am extremely grateful to him!"
When Chen Guan heard Mr. Li suddenly mention the old Taoist priest's Taoist name "Yun Yangzi", he also remembered that the old Taoist priest had raised him until he was eight years old. Although he did not have the name of master, he was actually a master, but the kindness of raising him had never been
After hugging him, his eyes couldn't help but get slightly wet.
Li Zhenbei and Xuezi listened to Mr. Li's words slowly. Even his wife and six-year-old daughter Li Jie'er had never heard of these things.
It turns out that Gentleman Li sixteen years ago, during the former Qing Dynasty, after he was elected in high school, wanted to donate all his family's wealth to become a county official. When Ye Lingshou Gu Guan Yun Yangzi suddenly visited him, he told him the number of Qing Qi.
It's all over. If Mr. Li donates his official position, his whole family will be wiped out by future revolutionaries.
Gentleman Li was very frightened. He had heard various legends and knew that Yunyangzi's Taoism was subtle. He served him high-quality tea and humbly asked Yunyangzi about his own luck and destiny.
Yunyangzi smiled slightly and told him that Lingshou Town was sparsely populated and the surrounding fields were deserted. It was very cheap at that time. As long as he purchased more fields and housing sites and rented them to tenants for rent or sold them to residents to build houses, he could make a fortune.
Become rich and even ensure the safety of your family.
"Both of your parents died when you were young. Although your father-in-law once served as a minor official and left a considerable family background, you still rely on your own hard work to make progress, which is good! Also, sixteen years later, your family suffered the biggest disaster.
The trouble comes from the island bandits in the east. If you don't take precautions, all your families will be wiped out! However, after this catastrophe, you can still keep your life safe by moving to the southwest! Remember not to move early, it's your fate!
I only said a few more words because I saw that I am destined to you!" Yunyangzi suddenly said after calculating Mr. Li's life-changing crape myrtle fortune-telling for a while.
Mr. Li was so frightened that he bent down and bowed: "Taoist Priest, please save the lives of my whole family!"
So Yunyangzi ordered Mr. Li not to build a house on flat ground as was popular at the time, but to build a house on the mountain behind the house. He secretly left this secret room with an irregular radius of twenty to thirty square meters in the middle of the mountain, and the cat's eye material
, especially a pair of strange hundreds of years of transparent amber presented by Yunyangzi himself, and said: "I also deduced that this secret room will also be related to the ancient temple in the future. It can be regarded as the tree planted by the predecessors for future generations to enjoy the shade!"
It took Yunyangzi and Mr. Li themselves more than a year to repair the secret room. Even the long-term workers and servants of the Li family did not know.
Yunyangzi said with a smile at that time: "The air in the secret room is circulated, and it is not very dark. The key is that except for those who know how to open the mechanism, huh, outsiders, even masters who have just survived the first thunder tribulation, cannot
