Chapter 134: The Treasure House of the Secret Room of the Red House
Seeing that Ye Bai was interested in the brochure, Jin Abacus also became interested and explained the contents of the brochure to Ye Bai on the spot.
However, as he talked, Jin Abacus discovered that his apprentice seemed to know nothing about the Five Elements and the Eight Directions.
So how did this kid find the tomb faster than him in Blackwater City? Was he really lucky?
Jin Abacus feels that he has suffered a big loss. This apprentice's qualifications seem to be much worse than he imagined. How can he inherit his mantle?
And Ye Bai felt even more headache. This sixteen-character Feng Shui secret book was just like the Book of Heaven, the entire text was difficult and obscure.
He is a dabbler to begin with and cannot hide himself in front of a master like Jin Abacus.
It's like a doctoral student giving a lecture to junior high school students, and the lecture content is a national key issue.
Ye Bai had no choice but to pull Bai Zhixi in.
Jin Abacus thought for a while and realized that she was his disciple-in-law and not an outsider, so she passed it on together.
Bai Zhixi has been proficient in the study of arithmetic and numerology since she was a child. She is also a master of Qi Men Dun Jia, and what the Golden Abacus talks about is really not difficult for her.
Sometimes he can draw inferences based on the contents recorded in the book, which makes Jin Abacus unable to help but marvel at the case.
Ye Bai was sandwiched between these two top students, with a miserable look on his face.
Seeing Ye Bai's appearance, Bai Zhixi couldn't help laughing, so she had to organize her words and describe them in a way that Ye Bai could understand. After that, Ye Bai's learning progress was considered to have made a qualitative leap.
From 0 to 0.0001.
......
A few days later, Ye Bai took Bai Zhixi to Er Erhong's mansion, which said "Hong Mansion."
It was Er Erhong's butler who opened the door. Seeing that the two of them had brought many gifts, the butler quickly invited them in.
"Master, Miss Bai and Mr. Ye are here to visit."
"Miss Bai hasn't been here for a long time. Master must be very happy to know that." The housekeeper said with a smile.
"Uncle Butler, how are your fourth uncles?"
The housekeeper sighed: "Hey, it's still the same. Miss must persuade the master more later, we servants have been speechless."
This is Ye Bai's first time to visit Er Erhong's mansion. The decoration of this mansion combines Chinese and Western styles. It has the elegance of Chinese architecture and the magnificence of Western architecture. It is unique in Changsha.
"The decoration of these mansions was made by my fourth uncle when he was young. If you like it, the Bai Mansion can also do the same." Bai Zhixi said with a smile.
"No, I still like things to be more natural. Flowers and grass are fine." Ye Bai shook Bai Zhixi's little hand and said with a smile.
Soon, Er Erhong and a woman in green came out.
This woman has a delicate face and dignified figure. She is the wife of Er Erhong.
"Second brother, girl." Bai Zhixi greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Bai, Third Master." The girl also bowed.
"Mrs. Hong." Ye Bai nodded.
"Third Master, you can just call me girl. The whole family calls me that." The girl said with a smile.
"Okay, girl." Ye Bai also said with a smile.
Later, the girl took Bai Zhixi on her arm to visit the Hong Mansion, leaving Er Erhong and Ye Bai to talk about business.
Ye Bai said: "Four of the nine families have already submitted all their clerk information, so you should hurry up."
Er Erhong nodded: "The information is already being sorted out, and I will personally deliver it to you tomorrow. However, how many longevity pills and beauty pills do you have in your hand?"
"There are two life-extending pills and two beauty-preserving pills. Zhixi took one, but now he only takes one."
Er Erhong was silent for a while and said: "I want to change two pills, one for longevity and one for beauty."
Ye Bai asked: "Is it for the fourth uncle and the girl?"
Er Erhong nodded.
"The Life-Extension Pill is okay, but I'm afraid the Beauty-Resisting Pill is not. I will leave at least one of each for the Presbyterian Council. Of course, if you really want it, you can discuss it with Huo Sanniang. She will always miss this Beauty-Resisting Pill.
It’s here.”
Er Erhong shook her head and refused: "If Jin Xi knows that I changed the girl, something will happen."
Ye Bai laughed, this February Hong has a lot of love debt.
Look at Er Erhong's appearance, her delicate features and elegant demeanor can indeed attract women's attention.
Ye Bai asked: "After the underwater tomb incident, what benefits did Banchili give you?"
"A small hand, a moonflower grass."
"It's pretty cool. Keep that grass. When I find someone who can refine the Beauty Pill, I'll make one for you for free."
Unlike the Yin Dan, the refining method of the Life Extension Pill is more complicated. Ye Bai found several alchemy masters, but they all said it was impossible. Ye Bai estimated that only Hua Ling could do it.
After hearing Ye Bai's words, Er Erhong showed a rare smile on her face and responded: "Okay!"
After that, Er Erhong took Ye Bai into the secret room of the study, saying that she wanted Ye Bai to choose a treasure in exchange for longevity pills.
The secret room is hidden behind the bookcase, and you can see a two-meter-wide stone path with lamps hanging on both sides of the wall.
"Follow my footsteps, don't be careless, there are traps." Er Erhong held a lantern and jumped on the rocks, Ye Bai followed closely behind.
"Does it need to be so troublesome to have a secret room in your own home?" Ye Bai complained.
"The rules of the elders have always been like this." Er Erhong explained.
When you reach the end, you will see a large space. This space is divided into two sides. One side is filled with various treasures in an orderly manner, and the other side is a mahogany desk and a sand table.
However, the entire secret room was shrouded in blue light. Ye Bai looked up and saw a huge blue stone inlaid on the top.
This blue light is soft and does not hurt your eyes.
Moreover, there are many whales, jellyfish and other animals carved on this stone, which occasionally flash vividly. It is really a top-notch decoration.
Yue Erhong said: "Sapphire stone can reflect blue light. A small piece can be worth a thousand gold. If you like it, you can take the whole piece away and exchange it for the longevity pill."
Ye Bai was a little moved, then shook his head and said: "Look again, look again."
When we came to the shelves where treasures were piled up, Er Erhong introduced a lot of good things.
A set of wine bottles from the Western Zhou Dynasty, authentic works of galloping horses by Han Gan from the Tang Dynasty, several bronze chimes...
Although there were many treasures, none of them caught Ye Bai's eyes. After thinking about it, only the sapphire stone above his head was pretty good.
At this time, Er Erhong opened another small wooden box, which contained small dark reddish-brown crystals.
Ye Bai only thought that this thing looked very familiar, and it seemed to be similar to the black crystal block he dug out from the six-winged centipede.
"What is this?"
"My great-uncle dug this gem out of a red ape. He saw it was extraordinary but didn't know it had any use, so he kept it until now." Er Erhong explained.
"Red ape? Where was that ape found?"
"I don't know this either. Our ancestors didn't record it."
Ye Bai nodded and took the dark reddish-brown crystal block in his hand, feeling as warm as jade.
"I don't need anything else. I'll exchange a life extension for this gem."
