In Chen Guogong's Mansion, among the rockeries, Ji Jun stood up and was amazed when he thought of the bones he just touched.
She stood firm, squatted down slowly, and slowly groped for the bone that tripped her.
Ji Jun's fingers slowly moved along the bone. The whole bone was exposed on the ground. It felt nearly two feet long. When he touched it again, he slowly found the femoral head and femoral neck!
Ji Jun felt that this was an adult's femur. It was so thick that it was most likely a male, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Li Zhan and Li Mi also stopped. After seeing Ji Jun's movements, they also gently used their feet to test the surroundings. If anything they encountered under their feet had some bulges, or in other words, some They also tried to touch the places where their feet were sore. Without exception, they were almost all bones!
These bones may be long or short, thick or thin. But because several of them were not widowers, they couldn't tell what part of the bones they were.
In particular, there are some bones that are so short that it is even impossible to tell whether they are human bones or animal bones.
The cool breeze was blowing, and even with Li Zhan and Li Mi accompanying him, Ji Jun still felt a strong yin energy, which was shocking.
Ji Jun did not dare to stay too long. She told Li Zhan and Li Mi to pick up a few small pieces of bones. It was best to feel the bones that were relatively complete and not broken and damaged and take them back. Ji Jun planned to ask Zhou Huan to find the widow of Dali Temple to identify it.
After that, the three of them continued walking towards the lake.
Along the way, the Jijun people walked more carefully and slowly, and there were still stubs from time to time, but a few of them did not stop.
As he got closer and closer to the lake, Ji Jun felt the Gu insects moving extremely fiercely.
About ten meters away from the lake, there are several rows of trees, forming a small forest.
Ji Jun wandered around the small forest for a while, and then felt that the Gu insect's movements were violent and uneasy.
But when the three of them quietly walked to the lake, the Gu insect's movements slowed down.
So Ji Jun returned to the forest and examined the small forest carefully.
The trees in the forest are very common. As far as the eye can see, there are willows, pine trees, locust trees, poplar trees, peach trees, apricot trees and other common tree species. As he walked through the trees, Ji Jun didn't find anything particularly unusual.
Ji Jun moved slowly in the forest while feeling the information transmitted by the Gu insects.
Gradually, she discovered that in a range of about four or five meters in diameter, the Gu insects were throbbing strongly.
Walking, walking, Ji Jun felt like a Bagua chart!
However, she knew nothing about the connotation of this gossip!
However, the guide from the flower garden to here has been Bagua. Is it still Bagua here?
Then, Ji Jun remembered the meaning of the five elements’ mutual interdependence:
Metal can produce water, water can produce wood, wood can produce fire, fire can produce earth, and earth can produce metal.
Wood can overcome earth, earth can overcome water, water can overcome fire, fire can overcome metal, and metal can overcome wood.
Li Mi and Li Zhan looked around cautiously, knowing that she was thinking about something and did not dare to disturb her.
Ji Jun silently thought about the order of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint:
Earth generates gold - metal generates water - water generates wood - metal overcomes wood
Between the lightning and flint, Ji Jun carefully observed the arrangement of the trees in the forest. She suddenly discovered that in the area where the Gu insects were active, the trees formed a "gold" character between each other!
One stroke and one stroke are poplar trees, the three horizontal strokes are willow trees, and the vertical one in the middle is a pine tree!
And the two points are locust trees!
Ji Jun's heart suddenly became enlightened!
She searched carefully between the two dots and the vertical line of the word "金", that is, between the locust tree and the pine tree, and felt the movements of the Gu insects.
Sure enough, the Gu insect's actions here are very different from those in other places.
The Gu insect seems to be desperately looking for something, trying its best to explore something!
Ji Jun stopped in front of the pine tree at the end and said to Li Mi,
"Cousin, please help me dig this place!"
Li Mi took out a sharp dagger and, following Ji Jun's instructions, dug up soil under the tree on the side of the pine tree on the line connecting the pine tree and the locust tree.
I dug and dug, and sure enough, when I dug about two feet deep, I found a box.
And as the soil was gradually peeled off and removed, the Gu insects became more and more violent! Very restless and excited!
The wooden box is about five inches long, three inches wide and three inches high. The wood is heavy.
The moment he took the wooden box into his hand, Ji Jun felt the poisonous insects in his body suddenly and continuously beating like crazy. This feeling made Ji Jun very uncomfortable and almost fainted!
Ji Jun held his breath and concentrated, secretly calming his mind, trying to use his own thoughts to communicate with the Gu insect. The Gu insect may have adapted to the exposure of the wooden box, and gradually calmed down.
Ji Jun asked Li Mi to pile up the dug pit with soil as it was, and at the same time cover it with some branches and weeds.
The three of them did not dare to delay and quickly left Chen Guogong's mansion.
In summer, when it dawned early, it was still dark when Li Mi quietly sent Ji Jun back to Dangui Garden.
After Ji Jun sorted it out for a while, he felt a little confused.
Ji Min heard the noise and came to Ji Jun's room with his clothes on.
Seeing Ji Min's expression, Ji Jun knew that she must not have slept well last night. Thinking of the strange movements of the bugs on her body, it would probably also affect Ji Min's sleep.
The detoxifying poison in Ji Min's body is separated from Ji Jun's body. In this way, because the "Pu Lian" poison in the body may be affected by the body's emotions, physical condition, or external shocks, such as weather changes, sudden Fluctuations occur due to fright and other reasons, so there will be a reaction between Gu and Gu.
But to a large extent, it was Ji Min who was influenced by Ji Jun, and it was not easy for Ji Min to influence Ji Jun.
However, it seems that although Ji Min's complexion is not good, he still has energy, his speech is not particularly weak, and he feels a little at ease.
Seeing Ji Min's worried expression, Ji Jun patted her hand with some pity and comforted her,
"Don't worry, sister, isn't she back safely? My eldest cousin has also gone back to rest! This time we went unexpectedly smoothly, and the harvest was huge!"
When Ji Min heard this, his brows relaxed a little.
Ji Jun saw that it was already very bright, and the tension and excitement were not over yet, so he was not very sleepy, so he just chatted with Ji Min for a while, and when it got daylight, they had something to eat together and then went to catch up on their sleep.
Ji Jun suddenly remembered something and asked Ji Min,
"Hey, why does Chen Guogong's mansion have two lakes?"
Among the aristocratic families in the capital, although some wealthy families do occupy larger courtyards, they usually only build a lake. But few have two lakes, one large and one small, like Chen Guogong's Mansion.
Even if there may be a larger puddle in other places, the puddle will be filled up and the other lake will be expanded.
It is said that in the understanding of the Zhou people, "water" represents "wealth"!
The lake water represents a place where wealth is gathered in a mansion. People are willing to "gather wealth in one place" rather than "separate wealth in two places".
"Spreading wealth in two places" means unrest in the family, even discord between husband and wife, and feuding between brothers.
It is really strange that this lake has no tourist value.
Ji Min frowned and thought for a while, then said,
"I remember when I was a child, I heard my grandmother mention that the mother of old Chen Guogong, who is also the grandmother of Chen Zhuoxin, the current Chen Guogong. When I was relatively old, she got a serious illness. After recovering from the illness, she was like a child, especially He likes to play, especially water, and fishing, and he has to catch big fish. Old Chen Guogong is very filial to his mother, and he can be regarded as entertaining his mother in colorful clothes! Old Chen Guogong often sends people to buy fish from the market, or Specifically, we sent people to the larger rivers in the suburbs to catch larger fish and put them into the lake in Chen Guogong's mansion. The servants accompanied the old lady to fish."
Ji Jun thought that in his past life, he had read reports that some wealthy people had booked the entire theater, and the entire performance team would only perform for one family.
Here, Chen Guogong gave the entire lake to his mother to play with.
It seems that no matter what era, rich people can do whatever they want!
But as a result, Chen Guogong's mansion was filled with the smell of fish, and that fishy smell was everywhere.
Over time, Mrs. Chen Guogong became somewhat dissatisfied.
Moreover, some ladies and ladies who came to the Duke Chen's Mansion also laughed at the Duke Chen's Mansion, saying that it was like entering a fishing village.
Later, after old Chen Guogong thought about it, he had another place dug out, introduced water, and built an artificial lake to raise some fish for the old lady in it, and then his servants accompanied the old lady to spend time fishing here. .
Ji Jun thought for a while and said,
"It seems that old Chen Guogong is quite filial."
Ji Min nodded and said,
"Indeed! It is said that old Duke Chen Guogong was very kind to his mother. The old lady particularly liked his son Chen Jia. Chen Jia often accompanied the old lady fishing there. The grandfather and grandson were very close. But after Chen Jia left, The old lady became ill and soon followed her grandson. Old Chen Guogong was very sad and often went to the lake to mourn and remember his mother and son. Over time, the lake remained its original appearance. Even though old Chen Guogong After leaving, the lake was not taken care of too carefully, and it was just preserved."
Ji Jun thought to himself, no wonder, even though it was just a mansion, when he got there, he felt particularly secluded and desolate.
Ji Jun asked again with some confusion,
"Who goes to that lake on weekdays?"
Anyway, they were invited to a banquet at Chen Guogong's mansion that day, but they didn't hear anyone going there.
According to the arrangements of Chen Guogong's mansion, it is impossible to take guests there to play.
If they had entered by mistake, those delicate ladies would have turned pale with fear and screamed again and again! It’s impossible not to know!
Ji Min shook his head, frowned slightly and said,
"Although this lake is another landscape of Chen Guogong's mansion, no one else is allowed to step in. Even some of the less shameful aunts, ladies, or young men of this mansion are not allowed to go there to play and laugh wantonly. Noisy. It is said that I am worried about disturbing the soul of the old lady."
Ji Jun thought of the corpses he found at the rockery last night, and couldn't help but wonder to himself. Was he worried about disturbing the old lady, or was there some unknown secret there?
With Chen Guogong's power, it shouldn't be difficult to execute a few people secretly and destroy their bodies and traces. Why do you need to be so exposed in the house?
Could it be that these exposed skeletons have other uses?
It can't be some kind of ceremony, right?
Ji Jun thought of something for a moment, but he didn't catch it.
She thought for a while and asked,
"Are you saying that the old lady likes her eldest son Chen Jia very much?"
Ji Min nodded in agreement,
"It is said that Chen Jia is a loyal and honest man, generous and generous, and has a good reputation among the nobles in the capital. But I don't know the rest. You'd better ask your eldest cousin and the others."
"Miss!" Haitang saw that the two ladies were not sleepy, so she simply stayed with them to chat more. At worst, she would stay with them if they got sleepy during the day.
So Haitang said,
"My slave has heard some rumors about Duke Chen's mansion!"
