(It’s a big chapter of 4500 words. It’s not easy to code. I beg you to order all of it!)
Arriving at the top of the mountain, Li Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and lightly clicked on the wooden door.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the ancient house, and along with a creaking sound, the door in front of him opened, and an old man with gray hair and wrinkles all over his face came out.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?" the old man asked, his words seemed a bit low and hoarse.
Li Xiao's face was soft and indifferent, and he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Hello, grandpa, I originally came here to travel, but I lost the tour group and got lost alone, so I found this place. Look, the sun will soon rise.
I'm going down the mountain, I wonder if you can let me stay here for one night, I can pay for it."
Li Xiaodao understood his purpose.
The old man looked at Li Xiao from head to toe again, thought for a while and said: "Oh, let me go back and inform the master first, and then I will give you an answer."
It turns out that this old man is a servant here. For such a grand old house, and a housekeeper like this, it is enough to show that the identity of the owner here is extraordinary.
"Please." Li Xiao nodded slightly. While waiting, he looked around again. Although it looked like a small mountain, its feng shui and layout looked very mysterious.
The mountains with flying eaves are like roaring dragons, entrenched here.
It is wide and flat on the mountainside, like an open embrace, which can gather wealth and receive blessings, while a path at the foot of the mountain is steep and narrow, which can block all evil spirits and injustices outside the mountain gate.
It can be said that it also has its own special meaning.
With that said, the old man closed the door again and returned to the ancient house.
After about a stick of incense, the slightly colorful door opened again, and the old man had a kind smile on his face: "The master said that since Mr. can find this place, it is natural that he is destined to be here."
Of course you can stay here for one night. It’s just that he is busy with business right now and cannot entertain Mr., but I have asked someone to clean up a house for you, so you can stay here tonight.”
After saying that, the old man stretched his hand towards Li Xiao and made a "please" gesture towards the inside of the ancient house.
"Thank you." Li Xiao nodded and smiled, stepped over the steps, and walked toward the villa accompanied by the old man.
…
…
This is a large villa with three entrances and three exits. It covers an area of thousands of square meters and almost covers the entire mountain.
The red bricks and green tiles, flying dragons and phoenix eaves are ingenious. The whole architectural style can be said to be majestic and elegant, and its mottled walls show signs of being renovated several times, which can be seen even more clearly.
The history here is also very long.
Birds are singing and fragrant, there are many rockeries, green bamboos, running water, orchids in the empty valley, and a deep path paved with cobblestones extends from under your feet to the depths of the villa.
In the villa, you can still see several young people, both men and women. They are either pruning shrubs, weeding or plowing the ground, or sweeping the slate floor with brooms. Some are wiping doors and windows. Their movements are clean.
They are neat and tidy, and everyone looks conscientious.
If it weren't for the fact that there were signal base stations standing in the distance, Li Xiao would have thought that he was in ancient times.
After walking on the winding path leading to the secluded place for about five or six minutes, Li Xiao passed by a lobby. At a cursory glance, he saw that the hall was elegantly decorated, with sandalwood tables and chairs, paper and ink inkstones, and inkstones on the four sides.
There are many precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and the landscape paintings are majestic and lifelike.
The copied fonts are vigorous and powerful, majestic and majestic.
When he raised his head and saw the plaque made of gloomy wood hanging above the hall, his eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Wolong Pavilion!
Even the name of this hall is very impressive.
Li Xiao paused for a moment, then followed the old man through a bamboo forest, and finally came to the backyard, where he brought Li Xiao to a side room and stopped.
Li Xiao nodded and thanked the old man, his eyes widened, and he watched the old man leave the yard. Then Li Xiao withdrew his gaze and walked into the side room.
There is nothing fancy inside the house. There is a simple bed placed on one side of the wall, and there are cabinets for storing objects at the opposite wall. There is also a faucet and pool next to it, plus two stools.
There is nothing else.
However, Li Xiao didn't care about these. He leaned back and lay on the bed with his head in his hands, staring at the ceiling above his head in a daze, his thoughts flashing rapidly.
Just three days ago, Li Xiao and Lin Zi concluded a contract. As a deal, Li Xiao had to complete a task that Lin Zi said, and he wanted to kill a person, and that person was in this villa!
Just when he came from the foot of the mountain, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt like he was being watched. He didn't know if it was an hallucination or a worry.
…
…
The bird flapped its wings, jumped up from the depths of the mountain forest, turned into a black shadow that gradually faded away, and flew towards the setting sun.
Night gradually fell, and the evening wind blew through the bamboo forest, causing the branches and leaves to rustle and sway.
Li Xiao sat at the dining table in front of the hall, and a lot of delicious dishes were placed in front of him: steamed eggs with tofu, steamed cabbage rolls, fried stuffed eggplants, green vegetable and tofu soup, three non-stick, vegetarian Dongpo pork, Ruyi
Rolls, Luo Han Zhai, etc., these are full of color, flavor, and not only fragrant, but also very attractive. There are more than a dozen kinds of dishes, but if you look at it, you can see that all of these dishes are vegetarian without exception.
The whole thing is a vegetarian restaurant.
Li Xiao's face couldn't help but twitch. It was obvious that the owner here liked to be vegetarian. If he didn't know it, he thought he was in a temple.
"Sir, wait a moment, our master will be here soon." The old housekeeper stood aside and kept looking in front of the door, as if waiting for something.
"It doesn't matter." Li Xiao smiled faintly and folded his hands in front of his chest, not looking anxious.
Accompanied by a lazy yawn, a figure passed through the bamboo forest stirred by the evening wind and caught Li Xiao's eyes.
I saw the person wearing messy blue clothes, buttoning the unbuttoned buttons with one hand, and yawning loudly at the same time, looking dazed, obviously he had just woken up.
His face was very handsome, his long black hair was tied into a braid and tied behind his head, his eyebrows were drooped, as if he was not interested in anything, and he looked like he couldn't cheer up.
"Master." Facing this man, the old man bowed and said very respectfully.
The man in Tsing Yi nodded, hummed lightly, walked into the hall, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to sit down when he found Li Xiao sitting at the dining table, his lowered eyebrows lit up.
.
"By the way, Master, I forgot to introduce you. This is the friend who came to our villa today to stay overnight." The old man explained.
"It's great to have friends from far away. Welcome." After looking Li Xiao up and down, the man in Tsing Yi nodded and lazily squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
Li Xiao also looked at the man in Tsing Yi with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the corner of his mouth with a good-looking smile.
"Let's eat."
After a simple greeting, the man in green lowered his eyebrows again, sat on the main seat, picked up his rice bowl and started working.
After the old man also sat down, Li Xiao picked up the chopsticks and began to eat without ceremony. Although these were vegetarian dishes, they tasted quite delicious. They tasted even more delicious than big fish.
It is said that the taste of these vegetarian dishes is not inferior to those in five-star restaurants.
…
…
After dinner, the rice bowls and pans were taken away by the young servants, and a clean table was cleared. After the hot tea was brewed, they were placed neatly in front of the man in Tsing Yi and Li Xiao.
"Sir, are you satisfied with the food here?" The man in Tsing Yi sat weakly on his chair. After picking out the vegetable stains in his mouth with a toothpick, he turned around and said to Li Xiao.
With a flick of his finger, the toothpick in his hand was accurately thrown into a trash can.
"The food here is very delicious, with good color and aroma. Even the simplest vegetable and tofu soup is steamed with pure mountain spring water. It is sweet, tender and smooth in the mouth. It is really rare." Li Xiao took a sip of tea.
, so authentic.
"You can even taste this. It seems that you are really an expert." The man in Tsing Yi looked at Li Xiao with interest and said in amazement: "By the way, I don't know your surname yet."
"My surname is Li, and my single name is Xiao."
"Zhuge Shanye." The man in Tsing Yi also reported his name, his surname was Zhuge, and his name was Shanye.
When Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and immediately said meaningfully: "My surname is Zhuge, he has an extraordinary status, and he lives in seclusion in a deep valley. His history is always strikingly similar. This can't help but remind people of a prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Wuhou Zhuge."
"Haha, Brother Li is really funny. You are not the first person to say this." Zhuge Shanye laughed, noncommittal, but the next moment, a light flashed through his lowered eyes, and he said with deep meaning:
"But having said that, Brother Li is really capable of finding this Wolong Villa!"
"Oh, what do you mean, Brother Zhuge?" Li Xiao tapped his slender fingers on the table, his expression did not change, and he still maintained a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"This place is surrounded by many mountains, with verdant trees and criss-crossing streams. They seem to have no connection, but there is an order in their arrangement. The heavenly stems and earthly branches, the Qimen Dunjia, and the stars are arranged in a row, confusing and shielding each other.
, coupled with the mist in the mountains, it vaguely forms a maze of nine palaces and eight trigrams!"
"But you can actually find the eight doors of Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. You can find the Sheng door, the Xiu door, and the Open door, thus breaking the maze of the Eight Diagrams and entering the Crouching Dragon.
Villa. If you don't have the Taoism in your body, how can you do this? You know, no outsiders have entered this place for hundreds of years!" At this time, Zhuge Shanye stood up from the chair and had already calmed down.
With the original lazy look on his face, he spoke word by word.
Zhuge Shanye clapped his hands, and suddenly a little sparrow flew in outside the door. After circling around the room, it chirped and landed steadily on the table in front of him.
Zhuge Shanye stretched out his hand and stroked the little sparrow's head affectionately. At the same time, the little sparrow's dark and narrow eyes had glowing lights, and a beam of red light suddenly shot out from its eyes.
It was projected on the west wall. Li Xiao was curious and looked in the direction of the light.
I saw water flowing freely on the wall, creating ripples. After the ripples dissipated, a video was played on it.
The person in the image is no longer different from others, but Li Xiao himself!
In the image, Li Xiao was at the foot of a mountain. He raised his head and followed the steps to look in the direction of the top of the mountain. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stepped forward, flashing and moving quickly, saying
Strangely enough, since Li Xiao's figure shook, the camera could only capture a somewhat blurry shadow on the long steps, and the camera could hardly keep up.
Two minutes later, Li Xiao had already appeared on the top of the mountain, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the villa. When he got here, ripples appeared on the wall again. After calming down, the image disappeared, leaving only the bare
wall, as if nothing had happened.
"In just one cup of tea, you have covered a distance of more than three thousand meters, climbed over the steps, and arrived at the top of the mountain. With your feet walking on the wind, it is no exaggeration to say that you can travel thousands of miles a day.
Even if it is easy to climb over several mountain ranges, how can we get lost and need to stay overnight?" Zhuge Shanye analyzed with reason.
Looking back from the wall, Li Xiao couldn't help but nod and praise: "Brother Zhuge can actually create such a vivid and lifelike mechanical bird, and implant a high-speed camera machine in its eyes to let it hover in the mountains and forests. In this way, it can
Instead of fixed monitoring equipment, it plays the role of mobile surveillance. In this way, the situation of the entire mountain forest can be seen, and the monitored person is difficult to detect. Such a sophisticated technique is worthy of being the descendant of Wuhou Zhuge!
"
You know, Wuhou Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty was not only a famous politician, strategist, essayist, calligrapher, and writer, but also an outstanding inventor!
Zhuge Liang invented the battlefield weapons and strategy formations such as Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse, Eight Formations, Zhuge Liangnu, Fire Beast, Bridge Gun, and Landmines, as well as Kongming Lantern, Kongming Suo, Kongming Chess, and even Steamed Buns. These are all familiar and are used in life.
Everything that can touch Tao also comes from Zhuge Liang's wisdom.
To a certain extent, Zhuge Liang's creative talents in inventions are more outstanding than his military talents, and his ideas and consciousness are far ahead of that era.
If there was a Nobel Prize for scientists during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang would definitely be able to get it. He is simply the Chinese version of Anderson!
And his descendant Zhuge Shanye was no less impressive, and was actually able to build a mechanical bird with surveillance equipment. Li Xiao was also sincerely amazed by this!
"Tell me, what is your purpose here?" Zhuge Shanye slapped the table and his expression became solemn.
At the same time, a dozen figures suddenly flashed in outside the house. These people were the servants Li Xiao had seen during the day.
Although they look like extremely real people, if you look closely, there are tiny gaps in the connections between their limbs and joints, and there will be a slight crunching sound when they move. The expressions and looks on their faces
Compared with ordinary people, they are also a bit sluggish. These people are clearly mechanical puppets! They are obviously the inventions of Zhuge Shanye.
They held more than a dozen pistols in their hands, and the dark muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at Li Xiao's head, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"To be honest, the purpose of my coming here is to take your head!" At this moment, Li Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank and his voice was fierce!
At the end of the day, a tense situation filled the field!
