Chapter 446: Deep Mansion (Thirty-four)
"The old Taoist priest exchanged an empty bamboo slip for a bowl of water, and a blank piece of parchment for a bowl of rice. Strangely enough, the day after our parents died, words appeared on the bamboo slip."
Yu Huo, hiding behind the rockery, listened while paying attention to the environment around the house and the layout inside.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
Before entering this copy, he was locked up in the library by Luo Yunmeng for more than a week. During this period, he not only read Qi Men Dun Jia, but also read many books, including Feng Shui.
Although Liu's house looks dilapidated, it has all five elements and a unique layout in the courtyard, which is both mutually reinforcing and endlessly prosperous.
Those who live here must have a noble fate to be rich and secure, otherwise... their family will be broken up and their loved ones will die.
No wonder Liu’s house has become such a mess.
Yu Huo lowered his eyes and said nothing, still muttering to himself.
People in ancient times attached great importance to metaphysics. After the house was completed, they must have hired someone to look at it. It is impossible for there to be any problems that could not be solved, right?
Unless... the fate of the owner of Liu's house has changed.
But can one change one’s fate just by saying so?
Yu Huo stared at the ground in silence, while Aunt Pan was still mumbling on the other side of the rockery.
"Pan Lang, please wait a little longer. I've found the last one... Tomorrow evening, I will definitely take you far away, far away from this sad place..."
What last one?
Yu Huo leaned against the rockery, looked up at the horizon, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
And that bamboo slip...what was written on it?
The sound of a brazier being extinguished came from behind the rockery. Yu Huo glanced at the oval hole behind him and walked back along the path.
He walked to the well and knocked on the wall, but the 'headless male corpse' had no idea where he had gone and there was no response at all.
Maybe he was hiding somewhere and eating the bloody mung bean cake?
Never mind, there’s still time, Yu Huo thought.
The sound of the piano in the main hall was sometimes high-pitched and sometimes gentle. He walked back to the main courtyard again accompanied by the sound of the piano.
Coincidentally, the butler came towards them with Alhan, Simpson and Dalia.
At this time, the debris piled up in the yard had been wiped clean and put back into the warehouse, leaving a few gorgeous ornaments moved to the front reception room.
Steward Liu waved to him and said, "You've come just in time. There's nothing much to do here. Go to the West Garden and help Concubine Pan."
When Yu Huo heard about Xiyuan, he did not refute and obediently turned to go to Xiyuan.
The first thing I saw when I walked in was Tian Guihua, who was wiping the table with a rag. She might not have had a good rest in the past few days. She had deep dark circles under her eyes and looked listless.
Yu Huo walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and said, "You, go to bed."
Because of lack of sleep, Tian Guihua's expression was a little dull and her reaction was very slow. After several seconds, she slowly shook her head and said, "No, there is still a lot of work to do. Aunt Pan said she would come to check later."
Yu Huo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is Aunt Pan now?"
Tian Guihua looked towards the quiet main house, a look of resentment on her face: "She's sleeping!"
Yu Huo was amused when he heard this. He reached out and snatched the rag from her hand, saying with a smile, "I'll do it for you. Go to sleep. I'll call you in an hour."
Tian Guihua looked towards the main house with some fear. It was obvious that she had suffered a psychological trauma from being ordered around by Aunt Pan in the past few days.
Yu Huo pursed his lips and urged: "Go, go, it's okay, if you don't sleep I'm really afraid you will die suddenly..."
Tian Guihua was also afraid. She stood up after hearing this and finally agreed: "Okay, don't forget to call me, okay?"
Hearing her endless nagging, Yu Huo waved his hand impatiently and lowered his head to wipe the table carefully.
Before leaving, Tian Guihua looked back at the young man for a few seconds worriedly, and saw that he rolled up his sleeves and did his job quite well, which was quite unexpected.
She looked away, yawned loudly, turned around and went back to her room to sleep.
In fact, Aunt Pan's place is not big, so a simple cleaning will do. Yu Huo quickly wiped off the dust in the corners and ran to the woodshed to find a broom.
The firewood shed is located in a remote location in Xiyuan, backed by the foot of the mountain and with little sunlight.
It would be fine if it were summer, but in the winter there is nothing to see except the pale white and bare branches.
Yu Huo curled his lips and was about to look away when he noticed that something seemed wrong with a piece of snow behind the woodshed.
This place is desolate and behind the wall of the woodshed, so how come there are several rows of footprints?
Moreover, the snow around the edge of the footprints was uneven, as if it had been turned over by someone, and formed several small lumps.
Yu Huo thought about it, dropped the broom, climbed over the low courtyard wall and ran over.
He squatted down and dug up the seemingly uneven snow until his hands were frozen cold, then he saw five simple wooden boxes.
The boxes are all of the same size, and the words carved on them with a chisel are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Yu Huo wanted to open the box, but his fingers were almost frozen stiff by the snow. He had to suppress his anxiety, breathed twice into his palms, rubbed them, and then reluctantly bent them.
The moment he opened the box, a foul odor hit him in the face. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and opened the remaining boxes one by one.
Five boxes were found, only one was empty, the rest were filled with human organs - heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
The remaining box with the word "gold" engraved on it cannot be empty.
Yu Huo raised his head and looked at the layout of Liu's house again, his long eyelashes trembling.
This is... the Yin-Yang Rotating Formation!
As long as you find the fate of the five elements and offer sacrifices, you can bring the dead back to life!
Yu Huo looked down at the empty box engraved with the word "gold", and the words that Aunt Pan said when she burned paper behind the rockery echoed in his mind.
'Find the last one'... 'Tomorrow evening'... 'Take you far away'.
Does Aunt Pan want to resurrect Pan Quan?
Aunt Pan has now collected most of the materials needed for the formation. The last remaining organ belonging to the metal element should be the 'lungs'.
Considering Aunt Pan's strict surveillance of Tian Guihua, Yu Huo felt that Aunt Pan was most likely targeting Tian Guihua's fate and wanted her to be the last sacrifice tomorrow evening!
There is only one day left until tomorrow evening, and Aunt Pan will definitely take action before the wedding.
what to do?
Yu Huo bit his lower lip, buried the wooden boxes again, and then quickly climbed back into the courtyard wall.
It had been exactly one hour since Tian Guihua fell asleep...
He wanted to reach out and wake the other person up, but his hand hesitated.
Aunt Pan is so defensive that Tian Guihua definitely can't deal with it, and it's useless to tell her!
Or should he just kidnap Aunt Pan?
Anyway, he already knew Aunt Pan's secret, so there was no point in keeping it. Tying her up would be the best way to get rid of her once and for all!
Yu Huo immediately retracted his hand and swaggered towards the main house...
