Chapter 558: Exploring the Forbidden Area at Night
"'Yaohua' and 'Langyue' are both here. Shishi's uncle sent some silks and satins a few days ago. I picked two pieces and made clothes for you." As soon as the second lady of Beigong entered the yard, she saw the little boy.
The couple sat opposite each other under a tree, seemingly playing chess.
"Second Aunt, let's go sit in the room." Mingruo stood up from the stone bench.
"Now that the sun has set, it would be more comfortable to sit outside." The second wife of Beigong did not behave like an elder and sat down at the stone table, "What are you playing at?"
I saw that the round chessboard was full of small holes, forming a strange hexagonal pattern. Each corner was dyed a different color, and gem beads of the corresponding color were placed on each color block.
"It's a little thing I was thinking about to play to relieve my boredom." Mingruo saw that he couldn't win at backgammon, so he directly played his best checkers. At least he won and lost, and he could still play.
Ming Ruo's eyes fell on the clothing materials brought by the second wife of Bei Gong. These materials seemed to be valuable. This second lady has always been a person who never sees rabbits but doesn't let go of hawks. After giving these materials, she didn't know what she was planning to do.
"It was the time when Shishi got married that she used fabrics. Second aunt should keep these to make a dowry for Shishi. My husband and I have just had new clothes cut." Ming Ruo declined with a smile.
"'Yaohua', you're welcome. Shishi's dowry is ready. Besides, as the second aunt, I should also make some clothes for you juniors." The second lady of Beigong chatted for a few more words before turning around.
Let’s get to the point, “Tomorrow when the poems will be released from the pavilion, I will have to go to the trouble of ‘Long Yue’ to recite the poems and carry them to the sedan chair.”
"With my body and bones, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. It would be bad if I dropped Shishi on the big day." Si Haochen refused very directly. What a joke, I only support my own wife.
Mrs. Beigong's face immediately turned ugly. In the past, 'Beigong Langyue' could be blown away by the wind. But now, it is obvious that she has become much stronger. She wants to marry her daughter off in style.
, naturally it is only decent for the eldest grandson of the Beigong family to recite poems when going out.
"Second Aunt, don't be offended. Shishi will be dressed up tomorrow. The road from Fuxi Courtyard to the mansion is long. My husband's body is indeed a bit thin." Mingruo can be sure that the second lady of Beigong dares to let it go.
If Si Haochen carries Beigong's poems on his back, his husband can throw them out, "However, my husband and I are willing to take the poems to the dock, and my second aunt can just find someone to carry the poems out."
"Okay, then I'll trouble 'Lang Yue'." The second wife of Bei Gong heard that 'Bei Gong Lang Yue' was willing to marry. She probably didn't mean to make things difficult. She was probably really exhausted. "I have to go to the fourth room."
"
The second wife of Beigong looked down upon the two sons in the third room, so she went directly to the fourth room to find someone.
Ming Ruo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Second Lady of Beigong gone. Just now, he was worried that the Second Lady of Beigong would lose her temper and they wouldn't need to marry her, which would be a bit troublesome.
"Let's go and have dinner. We'll have an early rest soon." Si Haochen pulled Mingruo towards the small flower hall.
It was night, Si Haochen took Mingruo to the entrance of the forbidden area. Jun Che had been waiting for a long time.
"Senior brother, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Mingruo smiled sheepishly at Jun Che, "Just now, Mr. Beigong's spies went back and forth to report the matter, which took some time."
"It doesn't matter." Jun Che shook his head.
"Let's go." Si Haochen took Mingruo and walked directly into the depths of the forbidden area.
In the mountains and forests at night, unknown grass insects were chirping. Sometimes a small animal that was disturbed would come out. Seeing Ming Ruo being startled, Si Haochen felt really distressed, so he picked up his wife and walked away.
Si Haochen was very familiar with the terrain and formations. He quickly came to Beigong's house and set up the final formation.
The clouds in the sky are like ink, and the mountains in the distance are like dark blue. The moonlight falls through the gaps in the clouds, like frost. The large lake in front is evaporating into mist, which looks ethereal and mysterious. Fireflies dance among the mist, like a flowing galaxy.
This fairyland-like scenery makes people feel dreamlike, but Mingruo always feels that something is wrong: "It's so quiet here."
"Ruo'er is very talented at breaking formations." Si Haochen's lips curled up slightly. Although his wife couldn't break formations, she could sense something strange here.
Si Haochen dripped the blood of the Beigong family that he had collected into his eyes, and the beautiful scenery in front of him was lifted like a curtain, revealing a dark mountain. The moonlight is not good tonight, and the pale moonlight shines on the rugged mountain.
On the wall, not only is there no beauty at all, but it also looks hideous and terrifying.
Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand tightly and led her forward along a specific pattern, sometimes needing to take a few steps back. Mingruo discovered that their route seemed to be in the shape of the Big Dipper, and they needed to walk from the handle to the head of the spoon.
a radian.
When they stopped, they happened to walk to a relatively flat rock wall, on which was carved a half-open lotus. Si Haochen cut his palm with a dagger, and the bright red blood dripped on the open bud.
It will slide off the rock wall and be completely absorbed.
The rock wall made a low hum, and you could feel a slight tremor. The birds in the mountain were awakened, and they flapped their wings and flew away. There was only a 'click' sound, as if something had cracked.
Before Mingruo had time to react, his feet were in the air and his body fell rapidly.
"Ah~" Mingruo screamed.
Si Haochen quickly hugged the little girl tightly: "Don't be afraid."
Mingruo found that they were still falling, but felt down to earth: "Huh?"
Mingruo lowered his head and saw Linglong spreading his wings. The two-meter-long butterfly wings held the three of them firmly and were slowly gliding downwards.
Mingruo blinked his big eyes, Linglong could actually take them flying!
"Wow, it's a bit like an Arabian flying carpet." Mingruo found that Linglong was flying very steadily and sat down cross-legged.
The 'pit' was not too deep, and Linglong landed safely quickly. There was a luminous pearl illuminating the bottom, which was a square stone chamber. There was a cylindrical high platform in the middle of the stone chamber, and the center of the high platform was slightly raised, like a button.
The pot is on top.
Next to the 'pot', there is a raised 'totem' with ravines and ravines on it, which looks a bit like a maze.
There is nothing around, the only thing worth studying is this half-palm-sized 'totem'.
Mingruo only thought that this totem looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He couldn't understand such a profound thing. He simply took out the medical bag, took Si Haochen's scratched palm, and debrided and disinfected it.
Apply medicinal powder, wrap it twice with gauze, and tie a bow on the back of your hand.
Jun Che traced the raised 'maze' with his fingers: "This should be a word."
"Huh?" Mingruo looked carefully and saw that it was really a seal character, "I know what this is!"
