Chapter 113: Zhong’s House!
Chapter 113: Zhong’s House!
The layout of the three houses is that there is one house in the upper, middle and lower part, and one house in the front, middle and back. In the four directions, there are three neighboring houses in each direction. Each neighboring house has a family, and each family has a force in the world, whether it is the upper nine classes or the lower nine classes. But what Shen Wen didn't know was that all the power was not controlled by one person. Zhong Jie could only control half of the people at the beginning. The other half was controlled by two other people. One of them was Tu Yingguang, a descendant of the former Tian Dynasty, who was also Zhinuan's owner, and the other was the former crown prince Xiao Zhi and Xiao Chengyan.
When Shen Wen entered the room of the Huan family's old house, she already noticed someone hiding in the dark. She observed the layout of the room for a few times and said, "Since you've already noticed me coming in, it's no fun to keep hiding. Why don't you come out and see me?"
Soon the man jumped down from the roof.
Shen Wen thought it was Zhi Nuan's owner, but when he saw him, he was surprised and asked, "It's you? Jin Sheng? Why are you here?"
Jin Sheng also discovered that it was Shen Wen.
Jin Sheng was very happy. He smiled and stopped his pre-battle state. He came close to Shen Wen and said, "Miss Shen, it's you. That's great. It turns out that the man in black didn't lie to me. He said I would wait for you here for a few days, and I will wait for you."
Shen Wen said, "You mean you were thrown down the stairs by me in Yixiang Tower a few days ago, and then you were brought here by the men in black?"
Jin Sheng nodded and said, "Yes! I wanted to leave, but they told me to wait. Then the man in black came. He knew I wanted to go home, and he told me that only Miss Shen had the ability to tell me to go home, so I have been waiting here."
Shen Wen couldn't help but ask, "You want to go home? Where is your home?"
Jin Sheng said, "My home is easy to find, but for members like us who have been away from the organization for too long, unless we receive a special order from the leader, we will be executed even if we return, and we will not be used again."
Shen Wen asked: "Leader? Special order? Who is your leader? Have you seen him?"
Jin Sheng said, "Yes, I have. His last name is Zhong. He adopted us in the mountains since we were young and trained us to learn mountain skills. He asked us to stay in the mountains and search for a group of aliens who escaped from other dimensions. We would kill those who should be killed and release those who should be released when the opportunity arose."
With so much information, Shen Wen felt that it was difficult to analyze it clearly for a while. The most important thing was the man in black! Her target was the man in black. The man in black deliberately gave her a puzzle and asked her to find him in the secret passage. At this time, she didn't find the man in black when she came here, but only found Jin Sheng. Jin Sheng's matter...
If we listen to Jin Sheng’s request here, wouldn’t the man in black miss the opportunity?
So Shen Wen immediately interrupted Jin Sheng, pulled Jin Sheng back to the entrance of the secret passage, and walked back down the secret passage.
When Shen Wen and his companions returned to the back of the shrine, they did not immediately change their route to the left secret passage. Instead, they opened the secret door of the statue first, walked around the Fu Nuan Pavilion after exiting the shrine, and confirmed that the man in black had not returned, and then immediately returned to the left secret passage. The layout was very similar to the secret passage on the right, and they also walked to a space with five exits. Shen Wen observed the soil on the ground of the secret door. If there were footprints, and the size matched the man's height and weight, she could go out through this secret door.
This time, there were footprints under the door opposite the secret door they came from, so Shen Wen took Jin Sheng out through this door.
After walking for a long time, the two people looked tired, and then they saw a ray of light.
This time the exit was not a secret door in a mansion, but a pit covered by weeds and bushes.
When they came out and looked around, they saw a lush grassland with a small hill at the end. The hill was covered with flourishing flowers, grass and fruit trees. The colorful scenery looked like something out of an oil painting. It was so busy that the eyes could not take it all in.
Shen Wen understood immediately.
This small hill can be so beautiful because it has grown under the management of someone over many years!
Shen Wen's mind was suddenly broadened by the beautiful scenery, and he happily ran two steps towards the breeze.
Then she looked back!
A lush artificial lake with bamboo buildings, water wheels, fishing boats, fishing nets, grinding wheels and water buffaloes built beside the lake...
It is an ideal place to relax, vacation and enjoy your old age!
this place!
Such a quiet and harmonious atmosphere is the home she has never dared to imagine in her two lifetimes. How many thrilling nights of deep sleep has she walked into such a paradise?
At this time, they could faintly hear the sounds of cattle and sheep running and roaring behind them. Looking back, they saw the scene of herdsmen herding cattle and sheep.
As the herdsman was talking, he drove his cattle and sheep closer to them, and greeted them without stopping. He looked at the two of them as if they were strangers. After they passed by, he muttered, "Strange, they don't look like the people brought by the young man. They are not his people. Then where did these two people come from?"
Shen Wen immediately stopped the herdsman and said, "Big brother, can you tell me where this place is?"
The herdsman looked Shen Wen and the other man up and down and asked, "Who are you? How did you get in? Didn't the soldiers outside shoot you? This is the royal cemetery, the tomb of the former crown prince. No outsiders are allowed to approach. Anyone who approaches will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"
Shen Wen was puzzled and repeated, "The royal cemetery? The tombs of the Xiao royal family?"
The herdsman said, "It's not a burial complex. Haven't you heard of the former prince's mausoleum? This is the Garden of Eden. The mountainside is the Zhong family manor, the precious land of Zhong Jie and Zhong Yuanwai. Even the emperor can't get in through the back door. Don't you know that?"
Shen Wen immediately tensed up and asked, "What? Zhong Jie, Mr. Zhong? What does he look like? Does he live there? Have you ever seen what he looks like?"
When Jin Sheng heard the name of this person named Zhong, he also thought of something and stared at the herdsman.
The herdsman looked at their expressions and suddenly understood something. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. You came from the three houses. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me."
He turned around and led the way for them, and Shen Wen and the others hurriedly followed.
The herdsman walked and said, "I have finally lived up to Mr. Zhong's trust in my lifetime, and finally waited for the person I was waiting for. No living person has entered the Zhong residence for many years. It's not that they are not allowed to enter, but they are not guests at all, not the people we are waiting for, so naturally they can't enter. Do you two understand? It's better to be guests, if not..."
The herdsman turned around and looked at them, with a cold light in his eyes, and said: "Then we can only bury it here."
The tone of these words was casual, as if asking you "Have you eaten?"
After all, Shen Wen and the other man were different kinds of people who had experienced life and death all the time. They were not surprised or afraid to hear him say this, and they just followed him.
When we arrived at the bamboo house by the lake, it was already dark. The herdsman said, "Stay here tonight. There is food and drink here. I will make some for you later. After you have eaten and drunk well, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Zhong residence."
After dinner, Shen Wen asked Jin Sheng to go to bed first. She stood on the wooden terrace by the lake and admired the lake scenery.
She had never forgotten the man in black, and kept thinking about his intentions. She didn't know if he was on the same side as her. She had only met him once in Yixiang Tower. Recalling the situation at that time, they didn't seem to be on the same side. There was also the power of Sanjianzhai. Although it was the power left to her by Zhong Jie, Zhong Jie disappeared halfway, and she didn't know how many people in Sanjianzhai were still following him. How many people would be convinced by her, who came from behind?
Zhong Jie?
Shen Wen looked sad.
I’m afraid... I’m no longer in this time and space.
Shen Wen thought for a while and went back to the room to lie down.
After she fell asleep, Zhong Jie, whom she had been thinking about, actually appeared.
Zhong Jie was standing on the terrace next to the bamboo house where she had just stood, looking at her with a smile.
Shen Wen couldn't believe it and looked very excited.
But when she went over to talk to him, he transformed into a different person.
"Ji Xun? Why is it you?"
Ji Xun didn't say anything either, just looked at her with a faint smile.
This situation suddenly reminded Shen Wen of what happened on Slit Mountain.
She remembered that she also saw Zhong Jie at that time, and Zhong Jie was also an illusion created by someone else.
Shen Wen woke up from his dream instantly...
In the pitch-black night, Shen Wen felt cold all over.
She recalled the dream she had just had.
She covered herself with the quilt again and stared at the dark air with her eyes open. She thought for a long time until the sky turned white and she fell asleep again.
When the sky was bright, Shen Wen vaguely heard the sound of footsteps, so she put on her clothes and got up.
The herdsman named Tu Su made breakfast. The three of them sat around to eat. The herdsman said, "The weather is good today. It should be easy to walk in the forest on the mountain. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountain."
Shen Wen said, "Brother Tu Su said yesterday that this is the tomb of the former prince. Is he buried on the mountain?"
Tu Su said: "Yes, it is at the foot of the mountain. It is a forbidden area, especially these days. You must not pass through there. You may never come back. You must remember my words. I am doing this for your own good."
Shen Wen thought for a moment and asked again, "You said yesterday that this place is sparsely populated, with less than five families living here permanently. So is there a family whose children are married to the Duke's Mansion of this dynasty?"
Tu Su shook his head.
I don't know if this is the place Shen Shuyuan is talking about? Who is her maternal grandparents?
