Chapter 169 Huo Xiangu

 The two of them browsed through the books in these bookshelves and found that they were indeed books that had appeared in Chinese history but were lost.

Ye Bai also saw a complete set of "Yongle Dadian", but this book was huge and took up seven bookshelves for storage.

The content of this book includes classics, history, collections, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, Tibetan and Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture, covering the knowledge wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

However, due to changes in dynasties and invasions from foreign forces, most of this book has been lost long ago.

If you take this book out, you can build a museum by itself!

At this time, Ye Bai felt endless gratitude to the ancestors of the Bai family.

They have preserved a batch of real treasures of the Chinese nation.

After calming down, Ye Bai put the books into the space and came to the stone platform behind the bookshelf.

There is a small wooden box on the stone platform with a small golden lock on it.

Ye Bai took out the rusty key and checked it. It seemed that it was for opening the small lock.

He was a little speechless. This thing also had a lock. Ye Bai felt like he could easily pull the lock off.

However, after all, it is left by the ancestors of the Bai family, so there still needs to be a sense of ceremony.

After thinking about it, Ye Bai handed the key to Bai Zhixi. Bai Zhixi slowly opened the small lock and saw a booklet placed in the wooden box.

The book is only as big as the palm of your hand, and all the front pages have been torn off, leaving only the last page with a line of text on it.

"In the ninth year of Tongzhi, Yu Bai Gufeng and his wife conferred the title of Wang Xin into the Bai family, and the ceremony of the Yongbao ceremony was carried out by his descendants!"

Feng Wangxin?

This old witch has also been to the Bai family's secret room.

Ye Bai calculated that the ninth year of Tongzhi was around 1870. According to the seniority calculation, Bai Gufeng was Bai Zhixi's great-grandfather.

If every generation of the Bai family had to record their entry into the secret room, then Bai Gufeng would be the last person to enter the Bai family's secret room.

Since you tore off the front of this booklet, why did you leave your own page?

Did anyone else enter the secret room during this period?

But when he thought about the complexity of the Nine Palaces astrology chart outside, Ye Bai shook his head again.

The mechanism of the astrology chart cannot be cracked by ordinary people. Without understanding the principle and lack of ventilation, it will be difficult for non-Bai family members to unblock it.

The two men ransacked the Bai family's secret room. When they left, all twenty-four burning lamps were extinguished and not a drop of lamp oil was left.

This trip went smoothly. It not only solved Bai Zhixi's problem, but also gained a lot. Ye Bai was satisfied.

However, when I returned to the place where the carriage was parked, the horse was gone, but the carriage was still there.

Ye Bai stepped forward and took a look. He saw that the horse had not eaten much grass, and the rope that tied the horse was cut with a sharp weapon. It seemed that the horse had been stolen.

But what's the point of just stealing the horse and leaving this broken car behind? You can't take it back.

I have long heard that there are many rogue bandits in Shandong, but now I have really seen them.

Ye Bai sighed and thought to himself: It's not easy to meet Big Brother's colleagues, so just treat them as charity.

Three days later, Ye Bai took Bai Zhixi back to Changsha. However, an unexpected person seemed to have arrived at home.

His cheap apprentice Song Gongzi——Song Qingyuan.

"Master, you are finally back." Song Qingyuan stood outside Ye Mansion with a playful smile.

"Why are you here?" Ye Bai helped Bai Zhixi out of the car.

"I came to Changsha to visit my friends and stopped by to see the master."

Song Qingyuan looked at Bai Zhixi and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This must be the master's wife. The master's wife is so beautiful, and the master is really lucky."

The flattery was good. Bai Zhixi smiled, chatted with Song Qingyuan for a few words, then entered the Ye Mansion and ordered his servants to entertain the distinguished guests.

Arriving at the lobby of Ye Mansion, Ye Bai said: "You have a heavy responsibility and are busy with official duties. The situation in Shanghai is tense. If you can stay in Shanghai, don't run around."

"Master taught me a lesson, but I really have something to ask for when I came to Changsha today."

"What happened?"

Song Qingyuan paused, looked into Ye Bai's eyes and said, "I heard that there are longevity elixirs in the Nine Sects commanded by Master?"

Ye Bai took a sip of tea and said nothing.

The news still leaked out, and it seems that the head of the Nine Gates needs to be reorganized.

Seeing Ye Bai's serious face, Song Qingyuan quickly smiled and said: "I just said it was a rumor. How could the master have a pill that can increase lifespan? I just came to visit the master and his wife this time. I still have a lot of them in the car."

Gift, I’ll ask my servants to move it in..."

Ye Bai thought for a while and said: "Qingyuan, wait a minute, you are helping me with many things in the Jiumen in Shanghai, I won't lie to you... I do have one pill, but do you know the side effects of life extension?



Seeing Song Qingyuan shaking his head, Ye Bai described clearly the side effects and life extension time of Yin Dan.

"This thing was left to me by my father-in-law, and there is only one left. It doesn't hurt to give it to you, but I want to know who you want to use it for."

Song Qingyuan said with a sad face: "It's for my father. He has been lying on the hospital bed for more than a year, and his health has been declining recently. The master should also know that I have been looking for a treasure to extend my life. Unfortunately, I didn't find it at the Crescent Hotel last time.

If I can take a picture of that red fruit, I know there is a glimmer of hope here, so I can only come to Changsha and give it a try."

Ye Bai nodded: "You are considered a filial son. I will ask your wife to get the elixir later. However, this elixir can only extend the old man's life for about two years. If the old man develops the symptoms I mentioned in the future,

You have to be mentally prepared."

"Okay, thank you, master! Thank you, master!"

Song Qingyuan knelt down quickly and kowtowed to Ye Bai three times.

It does seem sincere.

Ye Bai didn't stop him, and said again: "Speaking of which, you recognized me as your master, and you haven't even held a ceremony yet, so I got these three nods from you."

Song Qingyuan understood instantly and handed Ye Bai another cup of tea. Ye Bai drank the tea in one gulp.

After Song Qingyuan got the longevity pill, he stayed in the Bai Mansion for another day and had a heart-to-heart conversation with Ye Bai.

Ye Bai also discovered that although Song Qingyuan had a dandy style, his conduct was still good and he cared about the country.

When talking about the Marxism of the Red Party, Song Qingyuan started talking non-stop.

Ye Bai smiled, when did this kid have such awareness, and he still has a red heart.

However, Ye Bai didn't dare to mention too many points. He only asked him to unite his compatriots, stop internal strife, and deal with the invading forces together. After all, his identity is sensitive, and one wrong move will lead to disaster.

Ye Bai also promised that Jiumen would help him when necessary.

After sending Song Qingyuan away, within a few days, Zhang Qishan was promoted one level and became one of the most powerful senior officials in Changsha.

The Huo family doesn't know what happened. Huo Sanniang abdicated and the eighteen-year-old Huo Xiangu took over.

In Ye Mansion, Ye Bai also met Huo Xiangu for the first time. Although the little girl was young, she spoke neither humble nor arrogantly, and was well-controlled in advance and retreat. She was a good young lady.

Of course, the most important thing is that Huo Xiangu is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a temperament that cannot be looked at directly or played with, giving her a "fairy" feeling.

Several times, Ye Bai wanted to propose reducing the Huo family's interests, but the little girl pushed him back with her sharp beautiful eyes.

"Third Master, the Huo family has already expressed its apology for the mistakes it has made. And I have just taken over. If you reduce the income of my Huo family, how will I convince the public, and I will not be able to help Third Master manage the Huo family.

."

After saying that, he wanted to step forward and pinch Ye Bai's shoulders, and wouldn't let go of Ye Bai.

In his own home, Ye Bai didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had no choice but to stop mentioning the topic just now.
