For some reason, it may have something to do with the local geographical environment. Since coming here, Jiang Baizhou's power seems to have been transformed into a "water bottle". Every time he makes a move, he consumes some water, less for small fights, and more for big fights , It takes time to "store" that water back, otherwise he will seem to be emptied, weak and unable to move.

After realizing this, Jiang Baizhou learned to save money.

Like an ordinary infiltrator, he did not use any spells, and used the cover of trees, rockery and pavilions to sneak cautiously in Gongsun's mansion.

He is in a garden.

The grass and trees in the lower city are dead, but there are so many lush flowers and plants in the upper city, many of which are rare and famous, and they are not defeated in winter.Jiang Baizhou recognized several kinds of flowers that are also available in Endless Sea, and he felt a sense of intimacy spontaneously, and suddenly felt a little homesick.

This feeling was strange, not like his own, like the ashes in his arms trembling invisibly.If the deceased had a spirit, his father would probably be homesick too.

Jiang Baizhou walked around the edge of the garden and bumped into a group of servants head-on. After he quickly avoided the rockery, he was not found.

The servants were all dressed in uniform-colored attire, and they were all menacing, talking about something in a low voice:

"The family heirloom banquet is about to start, and we need to strengthen our defenses in the past few days."

"There is a large array of organs, what are you afraid of?"

"That can't be slack either."

……

Jiang Baizhou pricked up his ears and listened to a few words, and thought, what kind of organ formation?He traveled all the way, but he didn't see any formations, and he didn't encounter any agencies.

After the servants walked away, Jiang Baizhou walked out of the rockery and continued towards the center of Gongsun Mansion, but the layout of the mansion was quite complicated, and the road with seven turns and eight turns made people dizzy. The word "Ge" does not know whose residence it is.

It is said that the courtyard where Gongsun Shu lived when he was young was called Tinghai Pavilion. There are drawings of Tinghai Pavilion in his posthumous writings, but the drawings are rough and not rigorous, just for remembrance.

Jiang Baizhou passed through one independent courtyard after another, and saw how many "so-and-so pavilions" and "so-and-so residences", but he still couldn't find Tinghai Pavilion.

The Gongsun Mansion is really huge. He explored it patiently, and recorded all the paths he traveled. Every time he passed a place, the map in his mind became complete. In less than an hour, the general outline of the Gongsun Mansion was formed in his mind. .

Jiang Baizhou was slightly surprised that there was actually a burst.

It's hard to notice when you're in it, but if you look down from the sky, you can see that the entire Gongsun Mansion was built in a circle, and the Guanxin Courtyard where the Patriarch lives is the center of the formation.

I don't know who set up this battle, but the level is only mediocre.

Endless Sea is good at formations. Jiang Baizhou considers himself a master of all dynasties, and his formation formation skills are much stronger than his ability to control the five elements. It is a pity that Kong has nowhere to display his abilities. The clumsy small formation of Gongsun Mansion, he I don't even bother to take a second look.

However, Gongsun's Mansion is already an "important area" among the "important areas" in Shangcheng District. The level of defense here is low, how can it be better elsewhere?

It seems that the knowledge of formation outside the endless sea has been lost so far, and I am afraid that there are no masters in the world.

Jiang Baizhou was slightly disappointed, but then he thought about it, although the theory of formation has been lost, the mechanism method is very exquisite and should not be underestimated.

The closer to the center of the mansion, the tighter the guards.

Jiang Baizhou had to use the "invisibility" method to hide himself.

Others couldn't see him, so it was much easier for him to move, so he simply followed the two maids in front of him to Guanxinyuan.

These two maidservants, one in yellow and the other in green, were both holding fresh fruits, strolling and chatting.

Jiang Baizhou followed after three steps, only to hear the maidservant in yellow say: "The master had a nightmare last night, and after waking up, he suddenly called the second son to ask about his homework. He asked a few questions, but the second son couldn't answer a word. He went to the ancestral hall and knelt until dawn."

"Poor thing." The green-clothed maid said, "Where's the eldest son? Did he escape the catastrophe?"

"Hey, how can we escape? Last night, the eldest son didn't come home at night. The master sent people to search for several brothels in the city, but he couldn't find anyone. He came back this morning smelling of alcohol and was caught straight. He will also be kneeling in the ancestral hall for a while."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou wanted to laugh when he heard that, and the yellow-clothed servant girl said again: "Master has a good temper recently, and he gets angry at every turn. You and I should be careful when we go in to serve you."

The green-clothed man nodded, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that it's because the master has eaten too much mirage recently? They all said that mirages are safe, but didn't the young man of the Jiao family go crazy because of the stimulation of mirages?"

"Shut up." The yellow-clothed servant girl quickly interrupted her, "You dare to talk nonsense, you don't want to live?!"

The man in green turned pale and shut up immediately.

With their heads down, they walked into the Guanxin courtyard in small steps, followed by Jiang Baizhou.

There is a huge cypress tree in Guanxin Courtyard. Its tall and wide canopy almost covers half of the yard. The top of the canopy is covered with a layer of snow.

Jiang Baizhou's gaze penetrated the snow and dust, and he saw the old man sitting in front of the hall drinking tea at a glance.

That was Gongsun Bo, Gongsun Shu's father, his grandfather.

Gongsun Bo is 73 years old this year, which is a rare old age.Health is nourished by wealth, and he is very particular about what he eats and drinks every day. Only the mirage pill should not be included in his diet, but he still can't help it.This is a common problem of the nobles in the upper city. The richer they live, the more the tiny unsatisfied desires in their hearts are highlighted and become obsessions.

However, among the countless moaners in the upper city, Gongsun Bo is one of the few truly sad people.

He lost his beloved son, his emotions and interests were both damaged, and his huge family property was entrusted to no one, which made him almost sleepless every night, but he should not be depressed to the bright side, otherwise Jiao and Zhao would line up to watch His joke is that when he dies, he will try every means to swallow Gongsun's family and clean them up.

The servant girl put down the fresh fruit in her hand, and was about to go up to rub his shoulders and beat his legs as usual, when he suddenly put down the teacup and said, "Go down, you don't need to wait."

The two servant girls answered "yes" at the same time as if they were pardoned, and walked out slowly, walking away in a hurry.

Gongsun Bo never left anyone at the door, servants, maids, shadow guards, etc. could only protect him from a distance and were not allowed to approach him.

He has always been tough in front of people, showing no weakness at all, only when no one can see him, he is willing to sigh in relief, his cloudy old eyes show a dazed attitude, upon closer inspection, there is a bit of inexplicable inexplicable in the daze No one to rely on.At this moment, he is not like the powerful Gongsun Patriarch, but just an ordinary old man, a little pitiful.

Jiang Baizhou hated others to be pitiful the most.

But you can only watch.

I saw Gongsun Bo standing up suddenly. His old age and frailty made him unable to stand stably. He staggered and nearly fell down. He stood still.

After stabilizing his figure, he walked out the door, and after only a few steps, he suddenly saw someone else's shadow on the ground besides his own shadow, that shadow was vague, if there was nothing like it.

Gongsun Bo was startled, Jiang Baizhou quickly hid in a dark place, the shadow disappeared, the old man suspected that his old eyes were dim, how could he see a ghost in broad daylight?He shook his head and continued to walk out, looking in the direction, he was heading for Tinghai Pavilion.

Gongsun Shu has been away from home for more than 20 years. If he is still alive, he would be more than 40 years old now.

Gongsun's heirs are difficult. Back then, Gongsun Bo spent a lot of effort to get this son, and he almost died. He regarded his son as the most precious thing, and pinned the hopes of the whole family on him. He taught him strictly and looked forward to him. Become a pillar of talent.

Gongsun lived up to his father's expectations. He has shown amazing talent since he was a child. He can learn everything very quickly, and he is excellent in character and learning. He is a good talent.

It's a pity that it was ruined by passion.

Gongsun Bo walked into Tinghai Pavilion.

This courtyard has not been occupied by people for many years, even if there are servants to clean it, it is inevitable that it will be depressed.

With the old man in front and Jiang Baizhou in the back, with a jar of ashes floating in the middle, the three generations got together by accident.

Jiang Baizhou remained silent, still hiding himself.

The old man didn't know the news of his son's death, so he pushed open the door of Gongsun Shu's former bedroom, with a sullen old face, still dissatisfied, and said to himself: "You wicked son, don't you dare to go home? I'm afraid I will interrupt your conversation." Legs?"

The empty wind blew by, and no one answered.

"If you don't come back again, I can only pass on the position to the two useless materials born by your sister. Alas! It's better to tell me to die early!"

Gongsun Bo slapped the table suddenly, he was still mighty but unable to hold back, the table only shook slightly, but the person shook violently, all supported by crutches.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a faint shadow on the ground at the door again, a faint streak, even if he avoided the light during the day, it was difficult to hide its trace.

Gongsun Bo was shocked: "Who is there?!"

Jiang Baizhou did not move.

Gongsun Bo rolled his eyes and said sharply, "Come out! Don't play tricks!"

Jiang Baizhou still didn't move.Gongsun Bo was in shock, he wanted to get closer, but he was a little apprehensive. He suddenly remembered that he had searched for his beloved son to no avail a few years ago, and had asked someone to make a fortune teller. After a large sum of money, it was said that Gongsun Shu had passed away, and his soul would return to his hometown one day, so please mourn him.

Gongsun Bo was furious, and kicked out that bullshit god. How could he believe that his son was dead?

But if he is still alive, it seems that there is no reason not to go home to visit relatives for more than 20 years. Gongsun is not a heartless character.

Then this shadow, could it be...

Gongsun Bo approached with a cane, and asked tentatively, "Shu'er?"

"..."

He actually believed in ghosts and gods, and his behavior was so ridiculous, but his trembling voice and suddenly red eyes made Jiang Baizhou's heart suffocate, and an emotion he had never felt before rose from his heart, which was sour and unspeakable.

Jiang Baizhou didn't want to show up at this moment, so he hurried out of the door.

There was a "clang" sound of the crutch falling to the ground behind him, he didn't dare to turn his head, almost running away for the first time in his life.

——It turns out that the blood connection is not completely useless.

Jiang Baizhou was almost a little "scared", so he had to come back next time.

……

On the other side, Long Ying didn't stay at the Huiwu camp for long today.

A few days ago, Hu Chongshan invited him back to the headquarters in Luoshan for a gathering in a secret letter, saying that after the death of the head, Huanghuo's future was uncertain, and he was asked to discuss important matters.

Before the traitor was caught, Long Ying was suspicious by nature and refused to reveal her identity easily.He made an agreement with Hu Chongshan, only to see him and the second leader, no more than one person, Hu Chongshan agreed.

Long Ying changed her clothes, broke some pines and cypresses, and went back to Luoshan to mourn his teacher.

Pop, happy November.
