Chapter 14 Xingfeng Manor (2)
I first stepped into my future manor. As soon as I entered the gate, a long stone bridge appeared in front of me. Below the stone bridge was a large artificial lake with a lot of aquatic plants. There were many rockery, gravel, etc. around the artificial lake. Not bad, it was really good. Just this artificial lake and such a long stone bridge were worth the price.
"Everyone, Prince Wen asked the previous generation of emperor to order the Yulin Army to dig out such a large artificial lake for nearly a month. It was a story in the capital at that time. Many people wanted to buy this manor, but because of the back garden, I believe you already know these things. Alas, King Wen is really fine. A manor worth nearly one million taels was used by him. No one even bought the 200,000 taels!" The yamen runner said about the manor.
I was a little surprised. Even if I didn’t want the back garden, the housing in the artificial lake alone was worth 200,000 taels. Why didn’t anyone come to buy it? I said to the yamen runners:
"If it's not counted as the back garden, it's already worth 200,000 taels, why is no one buying it?"
"Ah! You don't know, oh, it seems that I'm going to continue to guard here again!" The yamen runner immediately fell down and became sad.
"Don't do this, my master said, he wants to buy this manor, don't worry!" My eldest disciple is so kind-hearted! He immediately relieved the yamen runner's heart.
"Really, are you all saying true? You will buy this manor no matter what?" The yamen runner was so happy that he couldn't believe it. No wonder he entered heaven from the earth outside the gate, and fell from heaven to hell just now, but now he has entered heaven again. These ups and downs are really something that a small person like him can bear.
"It's true, you'd better keep moving forward. My master and the others have already walked in front." Li Da still kindly reminded him on the side.
"Oh, go, go." The yamen runner immediately rushed forward quickly
"Brother Wang, you think the building is pretty good, the overall layout is also very good. This prince is not bad for being a formation enthusiast. Even the layout of the house is in accordance with the direction of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. The most important thing is that he actually connected this formation with the eight formations in the back garden to form a large formation that he had done before, which is really amazing!" I looked at the houses and said.
These eight formations are the formation of the eight formation maps that have long been lost. Zhuge Kongming, the chief military advisor of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, created these eight formations, which are divided into the sky-covering formation, the earth-carrying formation, the wind-hanging formation, the cloud-hanging formation, the dragon flying formation, the tiger wing formation, the bird flying formation, and the snake coil formation. The eight formations complement each other and doubled their power. It was because of this formation that blocked the pursuit of Wang Tian, the leader of the largest force of that year, and even the founding emperor later made a comeback and established the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, with Zhuge Kongming's early death, such an unprecedented formation disappeared. It is said that the Eight Formation Map was torn into eight parts and disappeared. Unexpectedly, this formation appeared here.
"Young Master, because of this, there are hundreds of houses in the entire building complex, and only the dozens of houses can be moved in. The rest of the rooms cannot even be entered. No wonder, so many people have visited this manor, but no one has bought them. Who would spend 200,000 taels of silver to buy these dozen houses? Young Master, this formation has exceeded the power of the eight formations back then. Are you really confident that you can break this formation?"
I smiled. Of course I have a way to break it. No matter how smart the formation in this world is, it is still only created by acquired power. Even if a master uses innate true energy to set up the formation, all the secrets will be revealed in the spiritual observation I have after reaching the Golden Pill stage. But how could I tell my Brother Wang about this reason? If you want to say that, you have to wait until Brother Wang practices the cultivation technique. I can only smile confidently at Brother Wang, showing that I am very confident.
"Brother Wang, I decided to buy it for me immediately. I don't want any accidents." I said to Brother Wang. I already like this manor very much. I don't want someone to be stabbed at this time.
"Yes, young master, I'll go talk now, and I will never delay this matter. Young master, just go shopping here. Ayu, come with me, let's go talk to the people in the yamen together." Brother Wang called Sister Yu and walked out together.
Alas, no one has ever been to this back garden and those rooms at once. I wonder if there are any treasures! When I thought of this, I immediately wanted to enter the formation to find out. I really couldn't stand the curiosity in my heart. I looked at Zhang Yu and the others and said:
"You guys wait here first. I'll go in and take a look. Don't come in. Zhang Yu, you know the power of the formation here. Look at them for me and don't let them run around. If you accidentally get stuck inside, it will be bad."
Zhang Yu has been studying formations since he was a child. He is very familiar with the Eight Formation Diagram and is well aware of its power. The formation in front of him is much more powerful than the formation in the Eight Formation Diagram. He thought to himself: He didn't even see the mystery of the formation, but the master had already said that he wanted to enter the formation and took a look. He didn't seem to take the formation in front of him seriously at all. The master is really powerful. Not only is his martial arts superb, but he is also a top master in terms of formations.
Since I showed my ability to change in front of Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu will no longer doubt all my amazing crazy words. I am almost omnipotent in his heart. Zhang Yu looked at me and said:
"Master, just go in and take a look. I will definitely watch them seriously and will never let them run around."
I nodded, ignored the pitiful Xixi gaze of Li Da and Li Er, and walked calmly like a formation.
As soon as I entered the formation, the surroundings were covered with whiteness, and my fingers were not visible. My eyes were completely useless. I was stunned. This formation was really powerful. I suddenly felt the shaking of the ground, and countless soil rushed towards me, trying to bury me. I knew that all this was an illusion, but I was still shocked by its reality. Although this formation was very powerful, unfortunately he met me, and I used my spiritual power, and my spiritual sense began to spread around. After a while, the entire formation was in my control. Soon, I completely understood the mystery of this formation. This formation was also a relatively powerful formation in the cultivation world, but the formation in front of me was mainly composed of innate true qi, and its power was naturally not good compared to the formation dominated by true energy.
Instead of destroying the formation base of the formation, I input my true energy into it to strengthen the power of the formation. Only now can the masters of the Nascent Soul Stage break through this formation.
My spiritual sense senses the surrounding houses, wow! There are nearly 800 rooms in total, and I didn’t know where to start searching. I was so distressed!
Suddenly my spiritual sense sensed a faint wave of formation. I was sure that this was definitely not a big formation, but a formation that protected something. It actually used the formation to protect things. It seemed like a treasure!
Haha I walked towards the destination proudly, and a very ordinary room appeared in front of me. While pushing open the already dusty door, I used my true energy and immediately covered with a layer of air mask. Looking at the dust on the air mask, I couldn't help but admire my foresight.
What's going on? I found that the fluctuations were uploaded from the underground, but there was no secret passage here! I searched almost every place in the house, but I couldn't find the passage to the underground. I was confused. Could it be that my spiritual sense was wrong? How could this be wrong? Unless there is a master who is more skilled than me, there is definitely no one here. So what exactly causes this situation? I am confused.
"I'm very happy to be so generous with Mr. Wang. From now on, this manor belongs to Mr. Zhang Xingfeng and Mr. Zhang. The little official left first. If you have time to find Mr. Wang to have tea, I hope Mr. Wang will give you more face." An official in a green robe smiled and said something about friendship to Brother Wang. Brother Wang is a housekeeper with special training in the Zhang family. Of course, he knows that it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the official family.
"Mr. Lin, don't say that. I am a civilian. As long as the lord calls me, I will feel it immediately. This thousand taels of silver is the money my son gave to the lord. Today we just bought this manor and there are many things to arrange. I won't give it to the lord. I hope you can forgive me!" Brother Wang was also very concerned about him. Please drink some tea. It's only 1,000 taels of silver. This tea is really expensive!
Brother Wang smiled and watched Lord Lin's figure disappear from his eyes, and then he started to report the situation to me.
"Sir, isn't his son the third son who was expelled from the Zhang family among the four major families? He is no longer a member of the Zhang family. Then why are you still so kind to his housekeeper?" A yamen runner walking on the road back to the government asked Master Lin.
"You don't understand this. Although these three young masters nominally left the Zhang family, he is less than seven years old this year. Do you think he might have made a big mistake? What's more, his parents don't like their sons? Do you think the head of the Zhang family will let his precious son suffer? Didn't they say that these three young masters have no money? Look at the third young master, he bought the manor as soon as he arrived in the capital. 200,000 taels. It's not even worth a hundred years. Look at the money for someone to eat tea, which is 1,000 taels. This is almost my salary for one year. You have to know that we can only flatter and cannot afford to offend such people. Sometimes when they are happy, they will reward you with some silver, which is enough for you!" This Lord Lin is tempted by hand.
The yamen runner next to him nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. This is a good word! It would be great if someone would reward me with one thousand taels of silver one day! The yamen runner secretly hoped.
"Zhang Yu, what about young master? I have bought this manor and am about to report to him. Where is the young master?" Brother Wang asked Zhang Yu who was sitting on the chair. He looked at Li Da and Li Er, who were motionless behind Zhang Yu, with a bitter look on his face. Uncle Zhang held back his smile as he looked at the two treasures, but his eyes revealed his psychology at this moment.
"Brother Wang, don't look at them. They are going to enter the formation to play. They violated the master's order and were punished by me to not be allowed to speak or move around. The master had just entered the formation, and he told us to be outside and not be allowed to enter. Just wait here!" After Zhang Yu said that, he closed his mouth again and looked down at the books about the formation he brought.
Brother Wang had to take Sister Yu to sit on the chair and wait for me to come back. Sister Yu looked back at Li Da and Li Er who looked extremely painful behind her and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha"
Uncle Zhang could no longer bear it and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha"
The whole hall was filled with laughter, and the laughter was stirring back and forth in the hall, endlessly
