Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came to the front of the attic, they saw that the door was locked, surrounded by iron chains, and surrounded by spells and seals.

Bai Yutang tugged on the iron chain, but found it was still tight, so he used his internal force to pull it out, and heard a "bang bang", the iron lock was pulled open, followed by a "clap la la", it turned out that the iron chain was entangled in the entire attic. The chain was a whole piece, and it slid down the wall.

Zhan Zhao was about to reach out to push the door, at the same time, he heard someone shouting, "Stop!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the sky, and said something in their stomachs - what kind of birthday are they celebrating, and the birthday celebrations go elsewhere.

Thinking of this, I don't know if it's the so-called tacit understanding. Both of them tried their best... The door was pushed open with a "hula".

"Hey!" The man shouted anxiously, and ran over, "Stop talking, tell you to stop!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their heads together, and saw Old Master Lin Xiao running up to him, so they both smiled and asked him, "Birthday? Who's celebrating?"

Lin Xiao was angry but there was nothing he could do, he ran up and closed the door with a bang, warning the two of them, "Don't go in!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their eyebrows and looked at the old man, which means - you can't stop if you want to go in.

The old man was helpless, "This building is unlucky, people who go in will probably have accidents, don't go in!"

Zhan Zhao said, "Just now a man in black attacked Xu Xiaodong and almost killed that child. We chased him here and he disappeared. There is no place to hide except this building!"

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, then frowned, and said, "But I watched you two break the chain, that means the building was still sealed before, how did the man in black get in?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang laughed. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin is so old that it is not easy to fool him.

"Hey, since they're all open, let's go in and have a look." Zhan Zhao pushed the door open again, and was about to go in, but Old Master Lin stretched out his hands to block the door, "No! I won't let you two in!"

Zhan Zhao was helpless, "Master, there might be a murderer inside."

"Whatever, neither of you can enter." Lin Xiao insisted.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, both looked at the old man, Zhan Zhao asked, "Old man, are you harboring a murderer?"

"I..." Lin Xiao stomped his feet, "I'm doing it for the good of both of you. Don't you two younger generations rely on your own kung fu to be ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth. Let me tell you, this building is not an ordinary building, and people who enter it will have no good end! "

"But Mr. Bao said that he used to copy books here." Zhan Zhao retorted.

"That was 20 years ago!" Lin Xiao stomped his feet, "Since the incident happened three years ago, everyone who entered this building died or had accidents afterwards! Don't you believe it, Shi Ye also sneaked in before. !"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, thinking that the old man knew so much and didn't tell him so early in the morning, which was simply hindering the investigation.

Bai Yutang was not as polite as Zhan Zhao. Thinking about their investigations early and late, the clues were intermittent. The student Shi Ye was still missing.

"Shi Ye disappeared out of thin air, could it be inside?" Bai Yutang asked, Lin Xiao was stunned, and saw a flash of white shadow... Bai Yutang did not know how to make a trick, and walked around behind him.

"Hey!" Mrs. Lin rushed in to block it, but he was too old, and there was a high threshold in the attic, so he tripped and fell in.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly helped him up, otherwise he might have fallen to his death at such an old age.

In order to help the old man, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also stepped into the attic...

There was a thick layer of dust inside the attic, but the interior was still very spacious. The lobby on the ground floor was empty, with a few tables and chairs arranged in a mess, and the surrounding walls were also empty, with many mottled marks, brown.

There are thick cobwebs in the corners... I don't know if it's because of the space in the attic, or because of the ventilation?It always feels chilly, and a chill rises from the ground.

Zhan Zhao raised his face, there was a revolving wooden staircase above his head, it seemed to be impossible to see the top.

Zhan Zhao was watching, when suddenly, he felt something appeared in the middle of the spiral gap formed by the roof around the stairs.

"Be careful!" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang almost said in unison, and pulled away Mr. Lin Xiao who was still standing stupidly...

Immediately there was a "click", and a rather thick piece of wood fell down, hitting the place where Mrs. Lin Xiao was standing just now, and smashed to pieces after falling to the ground.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at the shape, which looked like a stair handrail, and then realized—how could the handrail fall?Someone upstairs?

At this moment, Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang also ran in, Zhan Zhao pushed Lin Xiao in front of them, and jumped upstairs with Bai Yutang.

Naturally, the two of them didn't need to take the stairs, they jumped straight up to the top of the building. Mrs. Lin Xiao stamped his feet anxiously, "Don't go! Oh! Why are you so disobedient!"

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo looked at the old man whose expression had turned pale from anxiety, and Lin Yehuo hugged his arms to comfort him, "Hey, it's okay, they're both in trouble."

Mrs. Lin sighed and shook his head, "Hey, the ghost is still there, why don't you leave!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang chased to the top of the building, and saw that the handrail on the top floor was broken.

Zhan Zhao landed on the floor of the roof, probably due to years of disrepair or some termites, the floor of the roof made a "creaking" sound.

Bai Yutang also fell down and found a very small window.

Zhan Zhao walked over and reached out to push the window, but it was pushed open.

The two looked at each other, Bai Yutang checked the hole with his eyes, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, can you get out?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and looked it over, "It should be possible, although it's a little smaller, but it's not enough to get stuck."

Saying that, Zhan Zhao pushed open the window and got out... Sure enough, he got out easily.

After going out, there is an upturned cornice under the window, which is like the protrusion of the coffin board. No wonder the window cannot be seen from the bottom, it is blocked!

Zhan Zhao stepped on the cornice and jumped up to the roof.

Standing on the roof, Zhan Zhao looked down, and saw that it was really not too high, but...he could overlook the entire Taixue.

Whether it is a dormitory or various study rooms, as long as you stand here, you can see clearly.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, returned to the cornice, and got in through the window again.

I saw Bai Yutang looking around the top floor, and when he came back, he said, "Cat, there are four windows in total, one for the southeast, one for the north, one for the north."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "That is to say, if you live on the top floor, you can observe every corner of Taixue?"

Bai Yutang nodded, and it's very convenient to get in and out from here, "The man in black disappeared just now, maybe he came in through this window, and now he's gone again, maybe we wasted too much time with that old man down there, He slipped away from here."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and looked downstairs. In the lobby, Lin Xiao was sitting on a stool and sighing. Lin Yehuo was looking up at them curiously. Zou Liang looked around and had already reached the second floor.

When Zou Liang reached the top of the building, he said with some puzzlement, "I thought it was four floors from the outside, but there are actually five floors."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the space on the roof subconsciously, and saw that it was very low, it seemed—it was just an attic.

"This may be a hidden attic." Zhan Zhao said.

Zou Liang also looked at the view from several windows and frowned, "This structure is like a sentinel building."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him together for a long time, then Zhan Zhao tilted his head, "Shaobinglou?"

Zou Liang looked up at the sky.

Zhan Zhao smiled, apparently teasing him, while Bai Yutang said, "Then ask what the purpose of this building was when it was built."

When everyone went downstairs, Zou Liang asked the shadow guards to watch the attic, and Zhan Zhao also asked someone to call Wang Chao Mahan. The officials of Kaifeng Mansion completely sealed the small building, and all the windows and doors were sealed with the seal of Kaifeng Mansion. , including of course the four small windows on the roof.

After leaving the attic, the man in black disappeared, but Zhan Zhao grabbed Master Lin and took him to Gongsun's small courtyard.

In the yard, Xu Xiaodong was drinking hot tea to calm his shock. Gongsun Zhao Pu and others were there, and Pang Yu was pouring ginseng tea into his stomach. Zhang Dabai.

Gongsun asked Xu Xiaodong, "Did you see that black shadow yesterday?"

Zhan Zhao and the others just entered the door.

Xu Xiaodong nodded, "Well, yesterday evening when I was about to go home after class, when I was walking towards the door, I saw a black shadow flashing in front of my eyes, and he dropped something in front of my eyes. I picked it up and saw that it was A sheet of music and a sheet of chess, so I wanted to find who lost it, but I couldn’t find anyone, and the yard was gloomy and a little scary, so I ran away.”

"You were alone when you passed the yard yesterday?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Yeah." Xu Xiaodong nodded, "My nephew is going to be born in a few days, so I'm in the dormitory, and I want to ask Master Bao to help me ask for a nephew's name, my father will definitely like it."

Everyone nodded, which is understandable. Many people in Kaifeng came to ask Mr. Bao for their names. First of all, he was the top pick in Wenquxing, so he was more lucky.Secondly, it is said that the name he chose is more righteous, can overwhelm demons and evil spirits, and bless the child to grow up safely.

"Actually, I also heard that Bao Yan would come to the academy before, so I went to my master to confirm. If it is true, I plan not to ask anyone else, and I will tell Bao Yan myself when the time comes." Xu Xiaodong was already fat. Yes, looking so honest and stupid, everyone really didn't understand why the man in black wanted to kill him, just because of the legend?

"What did you do with the chess and piano scores?" Bai Yutang asked.

Xu Xiaodong said, "After I picked it up, I put it in my sleeve. I wanted to come today and ask who lost it. After dinner in the evening, I saw it again when I was changing clothes. I found that the chess and piano scores were very similar. Exquisite, I have never seen it before. I studied the chess record first, and after setting up two games by myself, I played the piano according to the score... but..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaodong seemed a little puzzled, "After I played a piece, my father suddenly ran over. He used to be the happiest when he heard me play the piano, but yesterday he didn't know what happened, and his face was so ugly. He asked me what's wrong. Knowing how to play that piece, I said that I picked up a sheet music, so I showed him the sheet music. Who knew that after seeing it, Dad was furious, tore up the sheet music, and scolded the servant for not taking good care of me and letting me Look at some messy things... I was afraid that he would tear up the chess records, so I didn't show him the chess records."

Everyone looked at each other... Could it be that Xu Xiaodong was almost killed because of his father?

"Did your father also study in Taixue before?" Bao Yan asked suddenly.

"That's right." Xu Xiaodong nodded, "My father always brags to others like this, but maybe the reason why he has been doing business these years is that he has no literary popularity..."

"It's Taixue again." Zhao Pu frowned, looking at Lin Xiao who was still in a daze, "What secret is your Taixue hiding?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a long time, then looked up at Xu Xiaodong, "You took the first place in the exam today, is it because of the piano score and chess score?"

Xu Xiaodong nodded, and said, "Today I suddenly said that there was an exam, and I didn't have any preparations. When I was playing chess, I somehow thought of that chess record, so I played according to the chess record, and they all won. I also played the piano according to that... ..."

"Where's the chess record?" Lin Xiao stretched out his hand.

Xu Xiaodong took it out from his sleeve, and Lin Xiao took it over to take a look, and everyone saw that the old man's pale face turned a little paler.

"That piano, play it again for me."

Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they just listened from the sidelines.

Xu Xiaodong started to play the piano. He may have just been frightened and his hands were shaking a little. The sound of the piano is not particularly stable, but it can be heard that it is a good piece.

Gongsun also nodded, "Well, the tune is very delicate, very skillful, good tune..."

And looking at Lin Xiao again, I saw him sitting on the stone stool beside him, not stable enough, almost fell down, Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi supported him, and looked at the old man curiously.

Lin Xiao was trembling, emotionally agitated, and muttered to himself, "Why do you linger, why don't you let these students go..."

Everyone frowned and looked at him. Although Lin Xiao was old-fashioned and strict, he really liked being a teacher and his students very much.

"Master." Zhan Zhao also found a stool and sat down, looking at Lin Xiao, "Do you know what you haven't said? According to this trend, if the murderer is not found as soon as possible, more students may suffer."

Master Lin Xiao let out a long sigh, and said, "Actually, I am the only one who knows about this. Almost all the masters who are my age have passed away."

Everyone looked at him.

Lin Xiao took the chess record, smiled wryly, put the game record on the table, and said, "This chess record, called Dazhen Chess Game, was conceived by a talented man. So far, no one has been able to break this one." Chess game."

"Who came up with this chess game?" Bao Yan asked curiously.

Lin Xiao smiled, patted Bao Yan, and said, "After so many years of imperial education, there have been many great talents, but in my opinion, there are two most outstanding ones."

Everyone looked at him.

"The first one is Bao Zheng." Lin Xiao said, "The most famous one is also Bao Zheng! But...in fact, there is another person who is not inferior to Xi Ren in terms of talent and learning, and is even better than him in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , and there is an innate, unique genius in the world, which no one can match."

Everyone was surprised, "Who is that person? Never heard of it."

"I've never heard of it." Lin Xiao said, "Because he died before he had time to take part in the palace examination, and before he had time to win the first prize and become famous all over the world."

Everyone frowned, "Dead?"

"But after he died, his ghost lingered and wandered around in this academy." Lin Xiao said, "You study here, unless you are as upright as Xiren, and keep away from gods and ghosts, otherwise, as long as you If you make a mistake, or if you have doubts in your heart, he will appear, making you restless, Qu Zhongyuan back then, and Shi Ye today, have also been bewitched by him."

"Qu Zhongyuan?" Everyone was very sensitive to this name.

"Then what happened three years ago..." Zhan Zhao asked, "What is it?"

"Three years ago, we asked someone to trap him in the attic, sealed the attic, released ghost legends, and kept the students away from the attic. Bewitched, he broke the seal and broke into the attic, let him out, and there will be no peace after that.”

"What's his name?" Zhan Zhao asked, "When did he die?"

"He passed away 40 years ago! This man is called Ji Changtian, known as Master Changtian. He is the most skilled in Fengshui. He designed and built the most unlucky small building with cornices like coffin lids. Kaifeng was plagued by disasters back then. , He said that because there is no place of great evil, after the construction of this small building, the bad luck of the world will gather here, and the outside world will be more peaceful." Lin Xiao smiled wryly, "Since the completion of this small building, Kaifeng has indeed been in good weather."

Everyone looked at Gongsun subconsciously, which meant to ask——is the theory of Feng Shui really so magical?

Gongsun is not very clear, he is proficient in medical skills, and has always been lacking in interest in Feng Shui.

"More than that." Lin Xiao suddenly laughed, "Actually, what Qu Zhongyuan and Shi Yexin believed to be the real Yinyang Temple was created by him based on the pen fairy and the dish fairy."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

"He thought of the Yin Yang Palace?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Isn't it passed down from ancient times?"

"If it is passed on, it will become an ancient method." Lin Xiao said helplessly, "But Ji Changtian was the first to think of it. As for whether it is really useful or a prank, I don't know, because he left the After the ballad and detailed gameplay introduction, it dies."

"How did he die?" Bai Yutang was curious.

"Illness and death." Lin Xiao sighed, and before continuing, Tianzun who was dozing off at the side suddenly raised his chin and said, "None of Ji's family can live past 30 years old."

Everyone was taken aback, looking at Tianzun.

Tianzun yawned, "That Ji Changtian was short-lived, and Ji Run lived to be 29."

"Ji Run?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Who is that?"

"I seem to have heard of this name before." Zhao Pu stroked his chin.

Lin Xiaodao, "Ji Run's seniority should be Ji Changtian's great-grandfather, former emperor Li Min's counselor, and also his confidant..."

"It's also a running dog." Tianzun sneered, holding his chin, and then said, "A feng shui turtle who hurts countless people with gossip."

Everyone looked at Tianzun in surprise, his tone sounded like there was some hatred.

Tianzun asked Lin Xiao with great interest, "Hey, little brother Lin Xiao."

The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, but thinking about the age difference between himself and Tianzun, it is estimated that there is a difference of four or fifty years, and it is normal to be called a little brother.

"That Ji Changtian, does he have any descendants?" Tianzun asked.

"Uh..." Lin Xiao shook his head, "Ji Changtian passed away at the age of 21, without marriage or heirs."

"Very good!" Tianzun clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction, "The monsters of Ji's family are finally dead!"

Bai Yutang patted Tianzun, "You know him?"

Tianzun nodded, and suddenly slapped the table, "Ah! I said that the kind of kung fu that suddenly disappears is familiar, and Ji Wugui used it often."

"Ji Ugui?" Everyone looked at Tianzun.

"If he is a descendant of Ji Wugui, then it is understandable to do such vicious things." Tianzun said gloomily, "The lingering ghost is very suitable for him!"

"He has a grudge against you?" Bai Yutang asked curiously.

"No." Tianzun shook his head.

"Then you hate his appearance very much." Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Because he is a bad guy." Tianzun narrowed his eyes, "Ji's family, like Bai Ji, belongs to a branch of an ancient clan. They are good at Fengshui spells. I forgot what clan it was called. The old ghost of Yinhou should remember. People from that clan They are all almost extinct, because they are all sick, and it has been passed down from generation to generation that their lifespan is extremely short, that’s right, such a short lifespan has committed many evils and harmed countless people, so what if they live a long life?”

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, "Indeed, Chang Tian is good at everything, but his temper is a bit wicked."

"Same as Bai Ji..." Gongsun felt unsafe for some reason, grabbed the little fourth son who was running around with Xiao Liangzi, hugged him, and thought to himself, did he come out to snatch his son again?

"He belongs to the ancient clan like Bai Ji, but he has no grudges with the fox clan, so don't worry." Tianzun told Gongsun not to worry.

However, everyone felt that it was a new clue, and the case seemed to be clear. If the cause of all this was because of the Temple of Yin and Yang, it seemed that the real instigator was not just Qu Zhongyuan, but also the one who came up with the Temple of Yin and Yang earlier. One move, Ji Changtian.Ji Changtian, Qu Zhongyuan, and Shi Ye are all separated by 20 years. What is the connection between the three?

Zhan Zhao asked Lin Xiao, "Why did Ji Changtian come up with the idea of ​​Yin-Yang Palace? Is it just a prank?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and seemed a little hard to say, "Uh..."

Everyone stared at him.

The old master frowned and said, "He mentioned it once before as a joke, saying that he left a vagina, so that he might be able to return to the human world in the future."

Zhao Pu laughed, "It's nonsense."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yutang looked at Master Lin Xiao for a while, and asked, "Is there anything in common among all the students who have died so far, or those who have been in and out of the Imperial Academy and have been killed recently?"

Everyone nodded, Bai Yutang asked the question well.

Master Lin stroked his beard and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh, yes!"
