"Yes, this is the backyard. Our garden here is divided into three parts, front and back. The front courtyard is planted with pines and cypresses. The back courtyard is planted with... pines and cypresses. The middle courtyard is dominated by pines and cypresses."
"Tsk, tsk, pine and cypress again? What's so good about this thing?"
Tang Zhao's first visit to Changfa Manor was actually as a tour guide. He brought two arrogant envoys to visit this humble third-level manor.
One of the two abyss is more ignorant, but moody, and it is hard to tell whether his words are straightforward or yin and yang. The other one is just the opposite, quite sharp and knowledgeable. He usually doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he is very sharp and points to the key point.
In short, these two masters are difficult to serve, especially Tang Zhaoming's apparent identity is very different from theirs. Every word must be carefully guarded.
But one advantage is that it is safe enough.
Safety was for his visit to Changfa Manor.
Tang Zhao came to Changfa Manor to find out. He originally planned to take a certain risk and see every corner of such a large manor. For this reason, he came alone without even a swordsman companion. He just planned to use the strength of the swordsman to equalize. It may be risky to go too long. I didn't expect that there would be a God-given opportunity here, and that there would be a taller person to withstand this thunder.
He is now taking two envoys to Changfa Manor. Although the observation is not as careful as groping alone, the advantage is that it is absolutely safe. Thanks to Cang's courage, he didn't dare to do anything to the two Abyssal Envoys who fell from the sky.
Moreover, it cannot be said that he is not meticulous. Whenever there is a place that is forbidden to enter, Tang Zhao has to be careful when he comes alone. But now, he only needs to mention it casually, and the raccoon dog is interested and wants to go in and take a look. . With its instructions, you have to go in even if you don’t want to.
At this time, the raccoon dog pointed to the middle of the yard and asked, "What is there?"
I saw the largest tree in the yard, but it was not a pine tree, but a locust tree.
This old locust tree is so big that five or six people can't hug it. It looks like a flying dragon and a huge beast. It is particularly conspicuous among the pines and cypresses in the courtyard, and it is difficult not to notice it.
Tang Zhao whispered: "This is the video recording circle of Changfa Manor."
The video circle is the core of a manor, the place where the core of sacrifices is held. Only the owner can enter. Not only is it the key to every sacrifice, but it also controls the lifeblood of everyone in the entire manor.
With the video circle, the manor owner is the master and can control the fate of any slave. Even if the slave becomes a swordsman, his strength may not be inferior to that of the manor owner, but he can still only surrender to the master's power.
The raccoon dog asked curiously: "Does the third-level manor also have a video recording circle?"
This sentence was too retarded and not easy to answer, so Pipa suddenly said: "After your old master died, the new master hasn't been to his own recording studio yet?"
Tang Zhao paused and replied truthfully: "No."
Pipa said: "Since he didn't come, he naturally can't control the video recording circle. Without the recognition of the priests, what kind of master is he? Isn't it true that your Changfa Manor has no owner?"
This question was in Tang Zhao's question bank, and he immediately said: "The old master made the young master his heir when he was young and recorded his shadow in the circle. Now that the old master has passed away, the heir shadow has returned to his rightful position and naturally becomes the master. , once the sacrifice is made this time, Mr. Zu will be officially recognized as the owner of the manor, and no further procedures are needed."
The raccoon dog said in surprise: "So convenient? Does the video recording circle still have such a function? One is dead and the other is on top? I'll take a look."
Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "Lord Xinying, it's not that we don't invite you in, it's really that no one can enter except the master."
Pipa asked from the side: "Can't get in? Or can't you get in?"
Tang Zhao said: "I don't know."
This answer was incomprehensible, and Raccoon didn't take it seriously, but Pipa understood the implication and said: "You haven't tried it, so of course you don't know. Go in and have a look."
The raccoon dog nodded and walked in without fear of the danger at all. The sword slave holding the pipa was trembling and said: "Sir...sir...slaves can't go in."
Pipa said: "In that case, you hand me over to Xingqi."
It was very thoughtful. As soon as it came to the manor, it called out Tang Zhao's current name. I've met this raccoon dog twice, and he claims to like Xingqi, but he still can't tell her. Tang Zhao took the pipa and said, "Sir, I can't go in either."
Pipa said in a gentle voice: "You carry me in, or I will kill all of you slaves. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Zhao was shocked, looked back at Xing Cang, lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Xing Cang's face was ugly, but the two lawless monsters were in front of him and he couldn't say a word.
Tang Zhao originally wanted to go in, just as a reason why Xingqi shouldn't go in and had to go in because of necessity. It just so happened that Pipa and he had some tacit understanding. She guessed that he could go in, but lacked an excuse, so she handed over the excuse slowly. The last "Do you know what I mean?" was a kind of "Stop pretending, give it to me." Come in" means.
Of course, if Tang Zhao didn't know how to praise and just didn't go in, this excuse could also be implemented. After all, it wouldn't be a problem for Yuanshi to kill all the slaves in a third-level manor. It's not even worth mentioning, it can only be regarded as a small punishment or a big warning. He didn’t kill his master, so are slaves considered human beings? Later, the master found out, and he had to thank Yuanshi for cleaning up the house for him.
Tang Zhao took the pipa and felt it was very smooth, as if the wood had a special layer of paint. He put his fingers on the neck of Pipa and felt a word engraved on the back:
"Man".
Yes, it's called "Manying", so it has the character "Man" carved on it.
Tang Zhao lowered his head and entered a tree hole under the locust tree.
As soon as his eyes darkened, he heard the sound of the wind and remembered that there seemed to be countless attacks coming from all directions.
If Tang Zhao drew his sword, it would be easy to block these attacks, but he just hugged Pipa and rolled on the spot, several feet away. He heard the sound of chi chi chi, but the place where he was standing was smashed into pieces by the attacking object.
Before he could stand up, the second wave of wind followed him like a shadow.
Just as Tang Zhao was about to repeat his old trick and get out again, he heard several "clanging" sounds of plucking strings in his ears, and the sound of the wind suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
At this time, Tang Zhao had slightly adapted to the darkness. When he opened his eyes, he clearly saw several branch-like objects being cut off by invisible attacks and falling to the ground.
Of course it was Pipa who took action just now. Once it strikes, it has no scruples and is not afraid of destroying this place.
"Get up."
The sound of the pipa sounded, and Tang Zhao turned over, but he had just pressed the pipa to the ground. He hurriedly picked up the pipa and ran his fingers over the pipa strings. He felt that it was quite soft and not as hard as the strings of a real pipa. It was just like silk thread... Could this also produce such a sonorous sound?
Wait, this feels...
Before he could think about it carefully, he leaned forward and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Manying, I'm rude."
Pipa just said: "You just draw your sword next time, so you don't have to be so embarrassed."
Tang Zhao thought about its words secretly and explained: "There is no slave in this place qualified to draw a sword."
Pipa said calmly: "You are still in the mood to think about this. It seems that death is not imminent."
At this time, I heard the raccoon dog say: "Hey, have you come in? I'm here, come here!"
Tang Zhao held the pipa and walked a few steps, and he suddenly became enlightened.
All he saw was a huge hole in front of him. The hole was so big that it was hard to imagine that it was actually inside a big locust tree. The texture of the logs can be seen on the four walls, and it is clearly an ordinary tree hole.
The tree hole is very bright. There is a lamp above the head. It is not a candle, but a lamp like a magic weapon. The lamp is gorgeous in shape, like a blooming lotus. The light scatters from the lotus petals and casts on the ground, creating mottled light and shadow.
The circles of light and shadow formed a formation.
Sacrifice formation!
As expected of Zongliang Mountain, the sacrificial formations are also formed with shadows.
Tang Zhao silently looked over the formation. Although he still couldn't understand some parts, the idea could be determined at a glance.
It is a formation that complies with the rules of the rules.
In other words, it is a breakable formation.
Tang Zhao's heart was at peace. He was most afraid that Kongliang Mountain had its own knowledge system, which was completely independent of Fu Shi, so it would be difficult for him to interfere.
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully: Zengliang is only a mid-level sword, and it is not certain whether it has a brain. Why does it have a completely independent set of knowledge?
Even the scenery is copied from others!
Judging from this formation, not only does Zongliangshan have no special system, but the level of the formation is not high either. It's not difficult to reverse engineer. But therein lies the trouble.
The function of this formation is very simple. After a rough analysis by Tang Zhao, it can be regarded as a "terminal", which only provides an entrance to the system and does not have much content in itself. What matters is not the terminal, but the system itself.
If Tang Zhao wants to get more, he should "log in" from this terminal and enter the system to see what valuable things he can get.
In addition, the most important part of this terminal should be that it retains a lot of "identity certificates", right?
Just store it in...
Tang Zhao raised his head and looked at the bright light.
The light is made of a transparent material similar to crystal, but there is something looming in the middle, which seems to be...
Jade?
That should be the legendary photographic jade, which belongs to the owner of the manor and is also the centerpiece of the entire manor. There are all the shadows of the existing identities of the manor on it, including the shadow of the owner, the shadow of the swordsman, and the shadow of the sword slave...
That is something that only the owner of the long-haired manor can see, and it is something that has an owner. Tang Zhao couldn't see it, even when the Golden Crow came, he still couldn't see it. Only the original version of Jackie Chan can be taken down and watched here.
It doesn't matter, Tang Zhao and the others have the teleportation array in hand, and they can teleport the young master over at any time and use him as a tool to open the lock.
Tang Zhao already had a plan. You can start making arrangements when you get back.
The raccoon dog came in out of curiosity, but now he couldn't help but be disappointed. The video recording circle of Tier 3 Manor is lackluster. Although it doesn't know much about formations, it has seen a real large formation. It can't help but feel disgusted by this crude thing and said: "It's not interesting here. Let's get out."
But Pipa could tell some information from the formation.
For example, jade is also layered. The center is the owner of the manor, the outer layer is the swordsman, and the shadow is only a rough outline. The outermost layer is the sword slave. The shadow does not even look like a human figure.
Pipa glanced at it and said: "There are only four swordsmen in the manor? It is very shabby for a third-level manor. Are you the only ones who want to challenge the second-level manor? Although Sunset Manor is in decline, you are too courageous. Do you want the whole manor?" Are you going to die together?"
Tang Zhao said: "Well...manpower is more expensive than finesse. Although we are small, we are willing to go all out."
Amid Pipa's disapproving sneer, Tang Zhao also sneered in his heart:
Four swordsmen?
There are indeed four people who are still alive in the manor: Xingwu, Xingqi, Xingjiu, and Xingshisan.
Sure enough, someone is out of control.
