86_86438 By the way, Jia Cong and Jia Huan followed Qin Keqing along the tunnel from the big house in the south of the city to Zhenwu'an. It turned out that the exit was a Buddhist temple in Zhenwu'an, which worshiped the ancient Buddha with lamps. Jia Cong was reading at zero o'clock and thought of those lamp oils below.
When I looked at the Buddha's origins, I suddenly found it interesting. Qin Keqing led two children and offered incense to the Buddha because he said: "I will send people to send carriages and horses to take you back, but I can't walk."
It’s a long way back.”
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "No need, just tell us how to open the secret passage over there."
Qin Keqing shook his head and refused, because he led them out of the Buddhist hall and walked a long way until they came to a small room where she usually lived. On the way, he also met three or two sisters-in-law wearing Ziyi clothes. Qin Keqing only clasped his hands with them and saluted.
, the two of them also clasped their hands, but no one asked who they were. When they got there, they saw that they were just two ordinary bungalows. The furnishings in the houses were extremely simple, and they were completely different from Ning Guo Mansion. Qin Keqing smiled calmly: "Compared
I felt much better when I first lost my hair." Then he went outside to boil water on the stove and make tea with them.
Jia Cong sighed: "People's ability to adapt is so strong, they can get through anything."
Qin Keqing said: "But I feel that it is much better now than in that mansion back then. I don't have to serve my parents-in-law and husband, or flatter others for their looks. I earn every penny by myself, and I can still support the family."
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly: "That's right. I admire a capable person like Sister Qin the most, based on his gender."
Qin Keqing smiled slightly and said angrily: "That's all, stop saying nice things. Let's go after tea. I'll hire someone to hire a carriage and horses."
The corners of Jia Cong's mouth drooped: "Good sister, I didn't pay attention just now, so just tell us."
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Opportunities must not be missed, and they will never come back. Who told you to be careless?" Then he asked his passing sister-in-law to go outside and call a familiar coachman for them. After drinking tea, he said, "Here he is.
, it would be great to go see Master Jingyuan."
Jia Cong thought about it, yes, when you get to someone else's place, you have to go to a dock, right? Then he nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise I might be rude, what about Brother Huan?"
Jia Huan also nodded.
The three of them then went to the nunnery where the abbot was.
Master Jingyuan’s nunnery is very simple, not even as good as Qin Keqing’s. However, the layout of the house is grand, the walls are covered with bookshelves, and an ordinary thick sea bowl on the desk holds a bowl of quiet lotus leaves. It can be seen that this old lady is a very good person.
She was a tasteful and extraordinary person. He couldn't help but take a look at her. Sure enough, even though she had no hair, even though she was old, and even though she wore clothes and shoes, she was still a senior beauty, and her whole body was extremely elegant.
He said that she was just an ordinary sister-in-law, and he didn't believe it even if he killed Jia Cong. Because he was busy, he and Jia Huan clasped their hands to her and said, "We are naughty boys, and we have no intention of breaking into the pure land of Buddhism, so we are disturbing you."
Master Jingyuan smiled like the warm sun outside: "It's okay, I can't guarantee that you will be destined to our nunnery."
Jia Cong trembled and hurriedly said: "Well, don't, we are both men." After saying this, he even laughed.
At this moment, there was a sister-in-law serving tea for the two of them. Jia Cong glanced at it and couldn't help but feel pity: that sister-in-law is really beautiful, no wonder Qin Zhong would hook up with a sister-in-law in the original work.
Master Jingyuan glanced at him and said, "Young Master Cong seems to have disapproval in his eyes."
Jia Cong said honestly: "Yeah. Because this young master is very beautiful. From a man's point of view, I think he would look better with hair."
Master Jingyuan put his palms together and recited the Buddha's name all his life: "Emptiness is form, and form is emptiness."
Jia Cong argued: "Human beings are born with flesh and blood. How can it be so easy to purify the six roots for no reason? Unless some people are born with Buddha affinity, ordinary things are ** and emptiness is emptiness."
Master Jingyuan asked back: "How do you know that this disciple of mine is not born with a predestined relationship with Buddhism?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "What I just said was just what I was thinking. How do I know whether this young master has any connection with Buddhism? I neither should know nor want to know."
Master Jingyuan nodded: "You are a bit honest kid. But I actually heard that it was your idea to secretly promise a married woman to sell herself."
Jia Cong said: "Those who want to sell themselves secretly will do so secretly, and those who want to do so openly will do so openly. It has nothing to do with whether you have a husband or not."
Master Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "Chaos Gangchang."
Jia Cong said: "There are so many people in the world, and human nature is very restrained. The laws of heaven are balanced. Since there are men who want to stay in brothels, there will be women who want to have sex with Hongxing. We are just charging agency fees for ideas. Turn back.
For example, if the husbands of those women are capable of supporting the family, or treat them very well, they will not come even if they want to. Buddhism often talks about cause and effect, and this is cause and effect."
Master Jingyuan said coldly: "Since there are three cardinal principles and five constant principles in the world, those who violate them will be punished. What if the woman in the courtyard is discovered by her husband's family?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "Everything has risks, and you should think about the worst outcome before doing it. Master, we are businessmen."
Master Jingyuan couldn't help but look at him carefully and said, "Young master, how can you be so cold-hearted at such a young age?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "I also have enthusiasm, but I am very narrow-minded. My enthusiasm is only for my relatives and friends. Others have their own relatives and friends, but they have nothing to do with me."
Master Jingyuan said: "What about those lonely and helpless people?"
Jia Cong clasped his hands together and said, "Buddha and Bodhisattvas will take care of them."
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Master Jingyuan's eyes, but Jia Cong just raised his head, and when he caught sight of it from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in his heart: From the perspective of a compassionate monk, what Jia Cong just said was extremely unacceptable.
She should be satisfied with words of advice. However, he didn’t know what the old sister-in-law was planning, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave. Master Jingyuan did not advise him, nor did he keep them, but asked his sister-in-law to send them out.
.
When they got outside, Qin Keqing personally escorted them out of the nunnery and asked, "I have nothing to do with you, so why did you help me?"
Jia Cong said neatly: "Sister Qin is beautiful. Even though I am young, I will still cherish her. If you had the face of the second aunt, I would definitely stand by and watch - no, I wouldn't even bother to stand by and watch."
Qin Keqing sighed: "So, my face is good for me?"
Jia Cong said: "Of course, if sister wants to find someone who doesn't care about your face but only cares about your heart, I'm afraid - there won't be one." He paused and then said, "I'm serious.
.Although I am a man, I get along a lot with my sisters-in-law. Because I am young, I don’t have to worry about what they say sometimes. Many of their thoughts are really funny to my ears. They are all made up by women themselves, and the world is determined by them.
There is no such man."
Although he didn't say what his sisters had in mind, Qin Keqing nodded, personally escorted them to the car, and watched the carriage and horses leave before turning back to the nunnery.
One thing led to another. A few days later, the two of them opened the entrance to the tunnel again. This time they brought enough oil lamps, torches, and even a compass. They searched inside for half a day, but they couldn't find where the door could be closed. In the end, it was hidden.
Gong San, who was watching the excitement, couldn't stand it anymore and came out to tell them personally. Jia Cong was overjoyed and said, "Did you tell us earlier that it was too serious?"
Gong San also hummed: "Why didn't you find Yao'er to break it off for you?"
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh" and regretted: "That's right! Why did you forget him! He could have done this two years ago."
Gong Sanyi glanced at him and said nothing. In fact, Jia Cong really didn't think about it, but Gong Sanyi secretly thought that this son seemed to treat everyone equally, but in fact he was very different.
Jia Congyin asked: "Where is the other exit?"
Gong Sanyi smiled and said: "You can find it yourself." He simply led them in, told them in detail how to get to Zhenwu'an, and then left them alone.
Jia Cong and Jia Huan were both still children, and they wished no one was watching. When they got the chance, they went to explore and play in the tunnels. They were not tired from running around. Fortunately, they were martial arts practitioners and had sufficient physical strength. However, they walked several times.
He had never found the tunnel leading to Gong Sanyi's residence. Jia Cong thought for a while, then went back and secretly drew a map of the tunnel with charcoal based on his memory, and added the mansion and Gong Sanyi's residence on top. The two of them discussed and inferred the approximate location.
It would be convenient to dig out the turning tunnels in two places. The next day, the two of them took the speculative map and searched carefully, but found nothing. They just wasted a lot of lamp oil from the benefactors of Zhenmuan.
The two of them became more and more courageous as they fought, and were in great spirits. However, they accidentally planted willows to create shade. One time, when Jia Huan turned on the oil lamp, he turned it in the wrong direction. There was a creaking sound, and a stone door suddenly opened in the tunnel.
The two of them were startled! But they saw a new passage appeared on the wall. At first glance, it looked extremely long.
Jia Cong's heart was pounding, and he squeezed Jia Huan's arm: "Brother, do you want to go and see it?"
Jia Huan didn't even look back and said, "Go!"
The two of them couldn't help but hold their breath and cautiously moved forward.
This tunnel was really long. Jia Cong took out a compass and drew on the map for a long time, saying: "We should be walking south and west." He took out a charcoal pencil and drew a little. In his previous life, his roommate was a
Architectural designer Jia Cong, by the way, was also familiar with many common methods of architectural drawing. After walking for a while, the tunnel turned a small bend, and this time it went due south. The two of them initially calculated the distance by calculating their steps.
, and then I forgot about it when I got tired. This time, I walked at least ten miles, and finally there was an upward staircase in front of me. The two of them lit the oil lamp and walked up, opened the tunnel entrance, and sneaked out.
In front of them were three large skewed cabinets put together, blocking their view. After listening to the sound, the two of them quietly sneaked to the cabinet and stuck their heads out to take a look - it was obvious that there was a
There was a warehouse that had been abandoned for a long time, with many empty boxes, cabinets and ladders piled cluttered. After waiting again, there was still no sound. They became bolder, ran to the door and pushed it. It was not locked, so they opened a crack and looked inside.
After a few glances, it seemed like there was a small patio outside.
Jia Cong immediately became bolder and said, "Go out and have a look." Yin took the lead and walked out.
There was no one around, it was an abandoned old house, and the door was locked from the outside. The two of them climbed up a big willow tree and took a look, and found that the moat was on the north side of the house.
Jia Huan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Did we pass through the bottom of the river just now?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "That's right! Nanjing East Road to Lujiazui."
Jia Huan was stunned: "Cong'er, what did you say?"
Jia Cong was also stunned for a long time, and then he twitched his lips in a self-deprecating tone: "It's nothing, let's go back." So he climbed down the tree first.
Jia Huan also came down and wanted to ask, but Jia Cong quickly changed the subject and said, "Is such a big tunnel really just for walking convenience on rainy days?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Of course not. This is obviously for communication and escape."
Jia Cong turned to look at him: "Brother Huan, you know a lot~~"
Jia Huan hummed: "Don't pretend to know anything. Mr. Gong told me that he used to be Prince Yi Zhong's man. He also said that you, uncle, fourth uncle, and sixth uncle all know about it. Anyway, what Yi Zhong is now?"
Prince Zhong’s family has also died long ago.”
Jia Cong giggled twice: "Since his previous master is gone, this matter is over."
Jia Huan glanced at him: "Am I going to report Mr. Gong?"
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! It's not a good thing after all. It's nothing to worry about. It's unnecessary."
Jia Huan snorted again. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He gave Jia Cong an elbow and said, "Is there any treasure next to it? How about we look for it again?"
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! That's what I meant. Let's look for it. If there is any silver mountain treasure trove of military books or something like that." They became excited and immediately returned to the tunnel.
After that, the two of them came to the tunnel to hunt for treasure as expected. Unfortunately, their luck ran out and they found nothing.
After some days, Jia Cong finally thought of a way. While Gong Sanyi went to the escort agency for business, he went to find Ding Ming, another associate of Qin Sangu, and picked up the sunspots from him to play with. Because Sangu
Not at home, Ding Ming was very busy, and Heizi was bored, so he was happy to let him take it away. Then Jia Cong took a piece of Gong Sanyi's turban that he had hidden a few days ago, gave it to Heizi to smell, and then took it down to the tunnel.
Heizi ran very happily at first, but after a while he suddenly stopped and started running in circles in confusion. Jia Cong understood that Gong Sanyi's smell suddenly disappeared. Needless to say, there was another place where he could turn.
Nearby, he and Jia Huan searched carefully. Now they were already familiar with the opening methods of many mechanisms in this tunnel. They just tried one after another, and it didn't take long to find it.
The two of them and the dog happily ran forward along the tunnel, and finally reached the upward steps. They used the compass to draw on the map, and sure enough, it was Gong Sanyi's residence. They had been to this small house before.
Many times, I knew that the old man lived alone, and now I thought there was no one in the house, so I became bolder and walked straight up.
When he opened the tunnel entrance, he saw that there was a circle of circular light slits above. He walked up and took out the oil lamp to shine a light on it. It turned out that the exit was a huge water tank with a huge wooden lid above his head. Jia Cong
He immediately remembered which water tank this probably came from, and laughed softly to Jia Huan: "It's strange that this tank has always been empty of water."
The two of them thought that there was no one in the yard, and they suddenly felt a sense of excitement like "the parents are not at home, and the children climbed into the house." The two of them pushed hard with their four arms and pushed open the lid of the water tank.
The dogs poked their heads out happily.
I saw that this place was indeed the kitchen in Gong Sanyi's courtyard. All the utensils were as usual. But there was a rather thin man in green clothes in his twenties standing in front of the stove to light the fire.
Both of them were stunned immediately.
The man didn't seem to be a cook. After struggling for a while, he finally lit the fire. He stared at the water in the pot for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Can you two cook noodles?"
Jia Cong raised his hand: "I...maybe."
"Come and help me, the bowl I just burned was burnt."
