Chapter 44 Chen Mowen
The carriage team drove on the street for a long time and stopped in front of a magnificent mansion with the word "Chen Mansion" written on it.
"Second brother, third brother, come down with me."
The Chen family is a prominent Xiangyin family that has been passed down for three generations. It has a rich heritage. Not only does it have a house here, but there is also a Chen family fort outside the city. It has a wall of more than ten meters high and covers an area of hundreds of acres. It is the home of everyone in Xiling.
A place to live year round.
However, Chen Mowen, the old man of the Chen family, lives in a mansion in the city. He thought that Chen Yulou wanted to take Ye Bai and others to visit his father.
After entering the mansion, Ye Bai discovered that the decoration layout and Feng Shui pavilions inside seemed to be arranged according to the directions of the Five Elements and Bagua. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about these and could not see why.
Hearing that Chen Yulou had returned from treasure hunting in Pingshan, Chen Mowen also came over on crutches after being informed by his servants.
Chen Mowen was wearing a light-colored gown. Although his face was old and his movements were slow, he had a majestic appearance.
It can be seen that he is usually a master who holds the power of life and death.
"Dad, this is my second brother Partridge Shao, the leader of Moving Mountains. The two people next to him are his junior brother Lao Yang and his junior sister Hua Ling. This one is my third brother Ye Bai, the queen who touched the gold.
people."
When Chen Yulou came back, Chen Mowen already knew everything about what happened during Chen Yulou's trip. Although he wanted to reprimand him a lot, he couldn't say it in front of his sworn brother.
.
"Moving mountains and touching gold have a deep connection with me and Xiling. It is a blessing for you to become brothers with them. Don't neglect them."
After welcoming Ye Bai and the four others into the hall, Chen Mowen sent Chen Yulou to serve tea and pour water in person. He greeted the four of them cordially, just like an amiable elder, making people feel no pressure.
After drinking this tea for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Yulou and the four of them rushed back to Chenjiapu to attend the celebration banquet tonight.
After leaving the Chen Mansion, Hua Ling couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen is really a nice person, isn't he?"
"My dad, I am stubborn and I can only be kind to my own people. If you weren't here, you would probably scold me for half the night." Chen Yulou said with a smile.
It was almost dark, and the four of them hurried to Chenjiazhuang.
When they saw Chenjiabao, Ye Bai and Partridge Shao could not help but be shocked by the layout of Chenjiabao.
The city wall, which is more than ten meters high, stretches for hundreds of meters. The city wall is covered with red lanterns, which are brightly lit.
The city was buzzing with people, and the sound of joy and excitement could be heard from inside.
The sharp-eyed Ye Bai also discovered that there were more than a dozen cannons placed in secret places on the tower.
It is not only a city within a city, but also a defensive fortress.
Seeing the confusion in Ye Bai's eyes, Chen Yulou explained: "Xieling does not have a good reputation on the surface. This is the safeguard measure my father took back then. Don't look at this majesty, these cannons are just fake.
These are old things from more than ten years ago."
"It's probably your first time here and you are not familiar with this place. After dinner, I asked Honggu and Huama to take you for a walk. This will give me some tips on the feng shui and defensive measures of Chenjiabao.
Some suggestions.”
After entering Chenjiapu, I discovered that there is a unique cave inside, with neatly planned buildings of various sizes and sizes.
Nearly a hundred banquets were placed in a huge square square on the central axis of the castle, and a round main table was placed on a high platform in front of the castle.
"It seems they are all waiting for us."
After bringing the four people to the high platform, Chen Yulou introduced their identities to everyone in Xiling below.
In addition to the brothers who came back from Pingshan, half of the people below stayed in the fort and were not familiar with Ye Bai and others.
After learning that he was a famous heir to moving mountains and touching gold, many of the Xiling brothers below also cheered, waving flags and shouting throughout Chenjiabao.
As the sky gradually darkened, everyone lit torches, and with Chen Yulou's call to open the banquet, thousands of people took their seats, and the momentum was quite spectacular.
At the main table, Ye Bai and Partridge Shao also sat down.
Seeing that the main table was empty, Chen Yulou invited several leaders from Xiling over. In addition to Huamaguai and Honggu, there were two others whom Ye Bai was not familiar with and had not been mentioned in the original work.
The only one I know is Lu Chong, who is good at underwater kung fu and is known as Langli Baitiao.
The other person looked like a scholar wearing glasses. His name was Fei Yuan. He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was in charge of Xiling's money and finance. It was said that he had been with Chen Mowen for more than twenty years.
Chen Yulou first toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then said loudly:
"The trip to Pingshan is extremely dangerous. Although a few brothers were trapped in it, the harvest from this trip was not the same as before. It was enough for us to eat and drink in Xiling for several years. I, Chen Yulou, am able to return safely this time, thanks to my second brother Partridge
Lushao and third brother Ye Bai, from now on, when all brothers see my second and third brothers, they must be as respectful as they see me, Chen Yulou, and must not be scornful."
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and then after Chen Yulou said something to boost morale, everyone started eating in a lively manner.
The old foreigner and Hua Ling had never seen such a scene before, and they only felt that they were very proud. In addition, they were used to sleeping in the open air and eating and drinking simply. This time, their mouths were full of oil.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone started talking, talking about everything, and it was very lively.
It wasn't until midnight that the celebration banquet was considered over. In the school grounds, many Xieling brothers were lying on the ground, shouting, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
...
The next day, Ye Bai got up from the bed and exhaled heavily.
I have been rushing to the grave these days, and it has been a long time since I had a comfortable sleep.
After putting on his clothes, Ye Bai put the snake cage on his back and walked out of the room.
After having breakfast with Xiao Hei at Hualing Partridge Station, Ye Bai wandered around and found Lu Chong.
This man was a straightforward man. When he learned that Ye Bai was a gold-toucher, he told the story of his ancestors and the gold-toucher. It turned out that his ancestor had been saved by a gold-toucher under the tomb.
When we were drinking last night, this man patted his chest and said that if Ye Bai had any problem, he could come to him.
With the topic in mind, the two started drinking. Ye Bai was drunk by this person last night.
Speaking of which, Ye Bai still feels a little headache.
Seeing Lu Chong in the school grounds, Ye Bai told him his purpose.
"Young Master, do you want to visit the big tomb at the foot of Xiling Mountain?"
Ye Bai nodded. His golden finger could display the map of the tomb and open the treasure chest from the main coffin of the tomb.
Xiling has stolen so many tombs, if he can still open a treasure chest, he will make a lot of money.
Even if you can't, you can still test the mechanism of the golden finger to make it easier to go to the tomb in the future.
Although he didn't know why Ye Bai went to the tomb that he had already robbed, he thought of Chen Yulou's request and his good impression of Ye Bai, so he agreed in person.
"Xiao Sanye, there are indeed three large curtains that have been stolen by us around Xiling, but the journey is not very close. It may take several days to go back and forth. You must be mentally prepared."
