My husband is the protector of the country

The word Zhu Yu is the Minshan tribe's name for their ancient gods.Strictly speaking, these two words are not very unique concepts. In the past, Qu Jianing would not have such a violent reaction.

But in this period when everything is in danger, he has to think more about the meaning behind these two words.

The young man asked Qian Sizhou if he could pick up the Vermillion Feather Boat to watch, and the latter graciously agreed.While Qu Jianing was observing the Zhu Yu boat, the woodcarver suggested taking Mo Cheng to taste some other works.

The god secretly communicated with the young man: I will lead him away, and you take the opportunity to check other arrangements in the house?Apart from Zhu Yu, we still need to find the Luozi.

After receiving the order, Qu Jianing observed Zhu Yu's ship from all angles, then put it back on the display stand, and acted separately from the other two.He wasn't sure if there was a camera in the house, and he deliberately put his hands behind his back to avoid being suspected of theft or sabotage. "mountain, and. 氵, evening"

The boy first walked around the shelf, then calmly walked to the corner of the room, and began to observe the original structure of the house.

We still don't know Master Gan's temperament, and we don't know where he likes to hide things... Will this net hide in someone else's house?

Furthermore... If the red-haired monster really left traces here, it must not be as simple as Zhu Yuchuan, there should be other information?

When Mo Cheng heard Qu Jianing calling him a "red-haired monster" in his heart, he suddenly replied: Didn't you scold Ai Li when you called him so?

Qu Jianing was speechless: ...you keep that guy in check, don't eavesdrop on what I'm thinking!

Qian Sizhou's interest in Mo Cheng far surpassed the two's imaginations. He introduced every arrangement of the house to Shenzun student with great care, and even took out all the designs he made at the bottom of the box.

In order to let Qu Jianing have enough room to develop, Mo Cheng patiently listened to the other party's discussion from wood to craftsmanship, and used Cang Zhuo's memory treasure house to reply a few sentences from time to time, which really made Qian Sizhou more excited and focused.

Not long after, Mo Cheng and Qian Sizhou went to the workshop next door, while Qu Jianing was left alone in the exhibition hall.The young man flipped through Qian Sizhou's works one by one, making a 360-degree observation without blind spots, hoping to find any clues related to Luozi or Zhu Yu.

Just when the young man was about to look dazzled, a wooden archway suddenly caught his attention.That is the stone archway erected at the entrance of Beiyumen. Unlike the gentleness and gentleness of this water town, it looks a little domineering.And the style is not the most peculiar thing about it - as a stone archway, its plaque is actually a complete piece of golden nanmu.

When Qu Jianing saw this description in the description of this replica model, his intuition was wrong.Normally, the plaques of stone archways are also made of stone. The plaques of this archway are not only made of wood, but also extremely precious golden nanmu.And this plaque is also one of the reasons why Beiyu is not open to the outside world.There are special cameras near the archway, and there are special inspections at night, just to protect this special plaque.

"..."

In the description of Qian Sizhou’s work, it is mentioned that this plaque was selected from his collection by a famous family in Yuzhou more than 600 years ago, and placed on the archway. , the second is to highlight the special status of Yuzhou in Yangguo at that time - the hometown of carving.

"The Son of Heaven also personally bestowed a plaque of 'ingenious workmanship'..."

Even this piece of imperial gift was not hung up, but the piece of golden nanmu was hung up... The reason for this is intriguing...

Qu Jianing had a clear goal, and patiently looked around the other corners of Qian Sizhou's house before going to the studio to find Mo Cheng.

Qian Sizhou and Mo Cheng were "talking happily", and when they heard that they were going to leave, they were naturally reluctant.

"It's already noon, why not have a light meal before continuing?"

Qu Jianing said that Gan Rulin also said that he wanted them to go back for dinner, but he didn't inform them in advance, so he didn't want to disappoint the other party.

Hearing Gan Rulin's name, Qian Sizhou's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Are you here at Yuzhou at the invitation of Gan Rulin?"

"Exactly, we are here to discuss jade carving techniques with Master Gan."

Look at your eyes, you seem to be in awe of Master Gan, should you let us go?

Qu Jianing thought happily, and the other party did politely send the two of them away, but before he left, a whisper in his mouth overturned the young man's guess: "The damn old man doesn't cultivate!"

"...?"

Qu Jianing looked back at Qian Sizhou's closed door, and asked Mo Cheng suspiciously: "That guy seems to be at odds with Master Gan?"

"Then Luozi must not be at his home."

"You're right...but apart from Luozi, I found something about Beiyumen."

Qu Jianing told Mo Cheng about the plaque, and revealed the direction of his doubts.The deity remembered this, and decided to go to the archway with the young man at night to take a closer look at what is so special about the plaque.

During lunch, Gan Rulin was still chatting with Mo Cheng about the elegance and allusions related to jade, without asking about the progress of their treasure hunt at all.

The couple were not in a hurry to get clues from the master, but followed his topic.Gan Rulin had a pleasant chat, and then talked about a legend in Beiyumen thousands of years ago.

"Do you know? In Beiyumen, there are all Yuzhou's old residences. But there is only one house, which has been abandoned for nearly a thousand years. It is just behind my studio in the north. The house has at least ten acres. It's not too big in a garden, but it's not too small in Yuzhou."

Gan Rulin took a sip of his wine and continued: "It is said that this is a secret place for a certain nobleman to hide her beauty, but one day, the beauties in the house disappeared, and all the servants who were serving in the house died violently for no reason. At that time, the case , It seemed to be a sensation for a while. The officials want to take back the house, but no matter who it is, as long as they step into the house for half a day, they will lose their minds and become crazy within three days."

Qu Jianing felt a chill down his spine: "If you say that, isn't that a haunted house?"

Gan Rulin smiled and said: "The rumors say so. Jade has spirituality, so I am also in awe of these ghosts. You two are looking for Luozi at Beiyumen, don't go there, I will not hide things there Yin house. By the way, the plaque at the entrance of that house is still there, called 'Qianqiu Yuan'."

Qu Jianing is very courageous, but he is afraid of those ghost stories.After lunch, he heard a story about a haunted house for no reason, which made him feel uncomfortable all afternoon.

Even if Mo Cheng reassured him that there are no ghosts in this world, the young man still felt horrified.

"What if there is? What if this is a field that you can't control... then it's not... oh..."

Qu Jianing held Mo Cheng's hand tightly, and under the protection of his illusion, the two were moving towards the archway.

A bird returning late chirped in the air, causing goose bumps all over Qu Jianing's body.He is usually afraid of ghost stories, but it has never been so obvious as today.

"That house is probably really tricky, otherwise my goosebumps wouldn't come up layer by layer..."

Mo Cheng patted him on the head, hugged him, and flew to the top of the archway.

Student Shenzun cast a spell to remove the plaque, and used illusion to create a fake one instead.The two stole the target and hid in a dark alley.

"The illusion can last about an hour, which should be enough."

Qu Jianing touched the words on the plaque, and his hands didn't feel any weird or special sensations.

"This is indeed golden nanmu, but apart from the preciousness, there seems to be nothing unusual. Mo Cheng, let's turn it over and have a look."

The deity turned over the plaque, and under the light of his Dharma, the two found a sentence engraved on the lower right corner of the back of the plaque-"A jade boat is hard to tie, and it can be locked for thousands of years".

"This word... is the body of the piano?!"
