Chapter 53

The passage was dark and narrow, Mu Gesheng was inattentive, bumped into something, almost fell down, but was supported by Chai Shuxin, "Be careful."

"It's okay, you go." Mu Gesheng waved his hand to the people behind him, "I'm getting old and my eyes are not good."

Chai Shuxin didn't say anything. He pulled out the red knife, cut his palm, and splashed blood on the wall with his hand. Immediately, a long stream of blood splashed, and red fluorescence spread on the wall, like a winding totem.

The whole passage was illuminated in an instant, and Mu Gesheng was dumbfounded, "It's not that I said three or nine days, you should also cherish yourself."

Chai Shuxin hummed, "You too, stop falling."

The two continued to move forward, and Mu Gesheng suddenly said: "I remembered something."

"The keepsakes of the seven families are inherited by the sons. If there is no one to inherit them after the sons die, the keepsakes will react with the mirage and will automatically return to the building."

Chai Shuxin: "Not bad."

"What about the mountain ghost's money?" Mu Gesheng turned to look at him, "The mountain ghost's money I got back then was given to me by the abbot of Baishui Temple. Why didn't you go back to the building?"

"I know about this." Chai Shuxin said: "Before he died, Mr. Mozi told Mozi to take the mountain ghost back from the mirage and give it to the abbot for safekeeping."

"Master, why is it unnecessary?"

"Because the master knows that you have no intention of inheriting the position of fortune." Chai Shuxin replied: "It would be nice if you can force the mountain ghost to spend money on you. If you have to travel thousands of miles to get it, you will definitely not do it." .”

Mu Gesheng smiled: "That's true."

At the end of the tunnel is a room.

The room is not big, and there are mechanical turntables and brass handles on one wall. Mu Gesheng knew who made it at a glance, "This is the handicraft of my second child."

"This room was built by Mozi of the previous generation, and it was repaired by Mozi of the previous generation." Chai Shuxin inserted the red knife into the knife slot in the center of the turntable, and then twisted the handle.

In an instant, the surrounding area was bright, as if the sky had suddenly broken.

It was only then that Mu Gesheng discovered that the room they were in was made entirely of glass, and outside the room was a larger space—surrounded by five huge walls, as if reaching from the ground to the sky, and each wall was densely covered with Drawer grids, some grids are only the size of a palm, and some are even bigger than the room they are in.

There are all kinds of pull ring handles on the outside of the drawer, like knocking on doors.

Even though Mu Gesheng was well-informed, he was stunned for a while before he spoke, "Is this a cabinet with five faces?"

Baizi cabinet is a medicine cabinet specially used to store medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine shops. There are many drawers and small compartments on one side of the cabinet, which are really similar to the drawer compartments on the surrounding walls.

It's just that it's many times bigger.

"What did the decoration master of the Mo family think? Did he plan to open a giant Chinese medicine shop here?"

Chai Shuxin controls the turntable and the handle, and the glass room slowly rises in the space. "Five walls, plus the sky and the ground, there are a total of seven Baizi cabinets, which belong to the seven schools of thought."

"Master brought me to the mirage back then, but I didn't make it to the top floor." Mu Gesheng looked around, "Now I understand why."

Chai Shuxin: "Thieves never leave empty space."

"It's still three or nine days before you know me." Mu Gesheng snapped his fingers, not at all ashamed, "If I knew this place back then, just moving things around would be enough to raise military expenses."

"The treasures of the seven families that have been stored for thousands of years are stored on the top floor, and their value is incalculable." Chai Shuxin shook his head helplessly, "Many things do not belong to this era, so they should not be easily present."

The five walls are made of different materials, with ancient murals chiseled, "Penglai is white jade, Zhu family is cinnabar, Yinyang family is five-color stone, and Mo family is pine smoke."

Chai Shuxin turned the handle and stopped the glass house in front of a wall, "This side is Yaojia, with blue enamel."

The huge cabinet wall is a whole surface of enamel, chiseled with gilt patterns, the glaze color is solemn and gorgeous, with a gem-like color.

Mu Gesheng looked up, "This wall seems to be a picture."

"Picture of Shennong picking herbs." Chai Shuxin said: "Originally, the cabinet wall of the pharmacist was made of ebony. More than 200 years ago, the owner of the contemporary pharmacist was fascinated by silver burnt blue, and collected a large amount of enamel throughout his life. But these handicrafts have nothing to do with the medicine family, and they were not meant to enter the mirage, and it would be a pity to throw them away, so Mozi of that generation used them to paste the walls of the cabinet."

As he spoke, he pointed, "If you go straight up, you can see that there is still a large part of the cabinet wall above that is still ebony."

Mu Gesheng raised his head, "What's at the top?"

"The sky belongs to Tiansuan, which is the circulating mercury, also known as the Mercury Sky." Chai Shuxin said, "The underground belongs to Rakshazi, and the cabinet wall is entirely made of bronze."

Mu Gesheng became interested when he heard the words, "What's in Luo Shazi's cabinet?"

"The ground floor is not a cabinet, it's a whole piece of bronze. Only after each generation of Rakshazi dies, a cabinet shelf will be cut out of the bronze." Chai Shuxin said lightly: "It is used for burial, or suppression, and the Rakshazi has evil spirits." Too heavy to be digested by ordinary cremation."

"But Mozi has passed away, and now no one can chisel that piece of bronze, so I probably won't be buried there."

After hearing this, Mu Gesheng pondered for a moment, and said, "It may be a little unreasonable to say this—but it's the first time I'm glad that my second child died early."

"Don't think too much." Chai Shuxin said: "Mozi said the same thing back then - he was lazy to dig my grave, and it should be all of us to burn incense and kowtow to him."

"It's the second child's style." Mu Gesheng sighed, "Don't say it, he really did it."

Chai Shuxin adjusted the turntable. The turntable was exquisite and complicated, and there was a magnetic spoon on the center of the turntable, like a miniature version of Sinan.

"These cabinets can move. If you want to find a certain drawer, you can only use the turntable to guide you." He explained to Mu Gesheng.

Mu Gesheng was dazzled, and took out the mountain ghost to spend money, "Why don't you turn around, I'll help you figure it out."

"No, it's here." Chai Shuxin said and pressed the handle, the glass room opened, and they stopped in front of a huge cabinet.

It is not so much a drawer as it is a door.They climbed to a very high place, and they could faintly see flowing silver waves above their heads. Just as Chai Shuxin said, this cabinet was made of ebony.

Mu Gesheng originally thought that the other party would use some family secret method to open the door - only to see Chai Shuxin pull out the red knife and pry it hard towards the gap in the middle - the door suddenly opened.

Mu Gesheng was stunned, "I didn't say, isn't Mirage's anti-theft measures too bad?"

Modern electronic locks need a universal program to crack, and whose door can be violently opened?

"Mozi told me the method." Chai Shuxin shook his hand, and it seemed that he had used a lot of force, "There are three ways to open the Baizi cabinet on the top floor--my family, contemporary Mozi, these two ways All kinds of people can use the secret method passed down to open the cabinet."

"There is another kind of violence|force|open|lock, but only Rakshazi can do it."

"Aren't you from the Yao family? Don't you know the secret method of inheritance?"

"That method requires a drop of blood to recognize the Lord. I have withdrawn from the family tree and cannot be fooled."

Mu Gesheng grabbed Chai Shuxin's hand, faint veins emerged, "Is your hand alright?"

"It's okay." Chai Shuxin gently pushed away, "Don't touch it, it's dirty."

There was still blood on his hand from the palm he had scratched before.

"There are still a few plum blossoms in the Town God's Temple." Mu Gesheng said: "When we go back, remember to soak your hands."

Chai Shuxin: "Okay."

The two walked into the huge cabinet, and the door closed.

The room was empty, and Mu Gesheng looked around, "Is the Pan Geng oracle bone placed here?"

Chai Shuxin showed a trace of doubt, "I have never been here. I inherited the Pan Geng oracle bone directly from my father. But according to Mozi, the Pan Geng oracle bone is indeed stored here."

"Did I live too long, where did I remember wrong?"

Chai Shuxin shook his head, "Impossible."

The two looked around and determined that this was an empty room.

Mu Gesheng said: "Maybe there is a problem with the way to open the door. This may be a trick room. The second child likes to play with this."

Chai Shuxin's expression also seemed a little surprised, "That's how I took the red knife back then, the method is exactly the same."

"Anyway, go out first." Mu Gesheng tugged on the man's sleeve and walked out, "Go out and think of a way, maybe the second child left some marks for you..."

He pushed open the door, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Outside the door is no longer the scene of the top floor.

The sun is shining, the white cranes are singing, the sea of ​​clouds is transpiring in the mountains, and the pines are bursting. The boy who fetches water passes through the bamboo forest, with a red rope tied on his head to form a general angle.

There was a clear sword roar in the distance.

Mu Gesheng looked at the pavilions and palaces on the top of the mountain, and said for a while: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

"Same as you." Chai Shuxin took off a bamboo leaf and looked into the distance.

"This is Penglai."

The situation was unknown, and the two did not act rashly, but walked to the top of the mountain along an uninhabited path.

With a bamboo leaf in his mouth, Mu Gesheng said vaguely, "I've only been to Penglai once. To be honest, I really don't know what year and month it was."

Penglai is a fairyland on the sea, and the scenery has not changed for thousands of years. It is really difficult to tell whether this is a fantasy or reality based on the surrounding environment.

If it is a fantasy, it may be the memory left by the predecessors, or it may be some mechanism that they have been trapped in the mirage; if it is reality, it has a lot of meaning-why does the place where the medicine family inherits lead to Penglai?

Mu Gesheng deliberately chose a road with few people. If it is an illusion, it is best to have less contact with the people in the environment, otherwise it is easy to get lost in it.

At this time, there seemed to be some grand event in Penglai, people came and went on the mountain steps, and many people were flying swords among the clouds, and the sword energy roared in the distance.Chai Shuxin listened for a while, and said: "This is Penglai's sword test meeting."

Mu Gesheng had heard of this name before. This is a grand event held once every ten years in Penglai, and the seven schools of thought will be invited to watch the ceremony. Unfortunately, he never caught up.At first it was due to studying abroad, but later it was because of his early death.

"Young boy, how do you know, bow to win the gift." Mu Gesheng squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain, "How did you hear that in three or nine days? Have you been here?"

Chai Shuxin nodded silently.

The two of them went up the mountain all the way, not far away was the Golden Summit of Penglai, and there was a sea of ​​people in front of the main hall. A ceremonial officer with a brocade book in his hand came out of the hall, and his voice spread throughout the mountains——

"The first-class winner of this sword test competition——Mo Qing Cup!"

The crowd erupted into cheers, and several sword lights burst into the air, only to see a few disciples walking with their swords standing in the air, dragging one person with all their hands and feet, everyone burst into laughter, and pulled the other party out of the air. Throw it down in the air.

The person who was thrown down was still holding a jug in his hand, and Shi Shiran took a few sips in mid-air, then snapped his fingers, and Yujian rose into the air with a handsome and elegant figure.

"I said this year's winner must be Senior Brother Mo!" The crowd was noisy, and some disciples said excitedly: "Senior Brother Mo has been a beginner for [-] years, and he won the championship just after reaching the championship this year. He is really a talent from heaven!"

"It's still the head of the sect, maybe he will be the next head!"

Mu Gesheng completely ignored the discussion in his ears, he stared dumbfounded at the young man who was drinking and holding a sword in mid-air, his expression was shocked: "Three or nine days, am I dazzled?"

Chai Shuxin's usually calm eyes also showed a slight fluctuation.

No need to think about whether this is a fantasy or reality, the two of them are now in the past many years ago.

As for how long this past has been, no one can be sure.

But it must have been many, many years ago, and it was a very different time.

The young man in mid-air is full of black hair, and it is loosely rolled on his shoulders, but no matter whether it is Mu Gesheng or Chai Shuxin, no one will recognize that face.

Although the temperament is still insane, there is no doubt that it is the Ginkgo Veterinarian in his youth.

Don't pour your cup.
