Qi Lu asked: "The house number of this old house is 478" Lao Wu nodded and said, "But this house has been demolished for decades." ” "Why" "That's a long story."
Lao Wu told the two of them eloquently.
It turned out that the place was an ancient village that existed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and this private house was built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty and was the private residence of a local wealthy man.
By the 30s of the last century, the descendants had already declined, and were bought by another merchant who had moved to the city.
On the eve of the liberation of the city, the businessman moved his family to Hong Kong because he was afraid that he would be liquidated by the government after the founding of New China.
At that time, people did not have the awareness of cultural relics protection, so the house was converted into a commune canteen by the local production team.
A few decades later, the people who lived in that village fell ill with a strange disease.
This alarmed the local government, suspecting that the class enemy was engaged in retaliatory activities, but after the investigation by the Public Security Bureau, there was no clue, and finally a medical professor accidentally discovered that the cause of the villagers' illness was the pollution of the water near the village.
The source of the water pollution has not been identified, so the government has no choice but to relocate the villagers to another place and use all the houses to build a new village, leaving the place in ruins.
Later, government officials wanted to open up land for farming on this vacant land, but experts found that it was a saline-alkali land that was not suitable for crops to grow, so the place gradually became a wasteland, and no one has cared about it to this day.
After listening to Lao Wu's statement, Qi Lu couldn't help frowning and said, "It seems that there is no treasure in this place at all. ” "Why do you say that," Ding Xiaolan didn't believe it.
"Think about it, I don't know how many people have lived in that house since the Qing Dynasty, and after the liberation, the government demolished all the houses, if there is a treasure underground, it has been discovered after so many tosses, how can it be our turn to get rich."
"Maybe the treasure was buried inside by the ancestors of the villagers and kept secret, so it's normal that no one knows."
Qi Lu shook his head disappetively and said: "This is just a businessman's private house, and he is not a huge rich man like Hu Xueyan, even if there are things buried in the house, at most it is some gold and silver money, and it can't be called a treasure." ” Just when Qi Lu wanted to give up, Lao Wu's words caught his attention.
"I have investigated, and the earliest owner of this private house was a merchant surnamed Xu."
"What, you said that this house is the ancestral house of the Xu family" Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised.
Ding Xiaolan hurriedly answered: "How can there be such a coincidence, maybe Xu Jingqiao is their descendant, and his ancestors gave him a dream." ” Lao Wu continued: "There is an even more coincidental thing, the merchant who bought the house during the Republic of China is also surnamed Xu. ” "I'll just say there's something weird about this house, and there must be treasure in the ground."
Ding Xiaolan suddenly smiled.
"It's really weird, it's not like a simple coincidence."
Qi Lu is also a little unsettled.
Ding Xiaolan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Let's go, let's go to that place and have a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains." ” Qi Lu glanced at the dark night sky outside the house, looked back and smiled, and said, "It's so dark, even if you go, you can see what you can see Today, let's rest early, let's go to that place tomorrow." ” Early the next morning, Ding Xiaolan came to the Kunlun office early, urging Qi Lu and Lao Wu to set off quickly.
Qi Lu smiled bitterly, and had to let Lao Wu drive them to the wasteland.
This is indeed a desolate and barren land, some broken bricks and tiles loom in the messy weeds, looking at this ruined ancient village, Qi Lu asked Lao Wu: "Where is the specific location of that ancient house?"
Lao Wu said angrily: "There is no place here and there is no road sign to point out the direction, how do I know where it is." ” Ding Xiaolan proposed: "Then let's look for it." ” "I'm afraid it's hard to find."
Qi Lu frowned.
"Old Wu, do you have any clues?"
"The house has been completely demolished, where are there any clues."
Qi Lu was about to reply, but suddenly his face became gloomy.
"What's the matter, isn't it comfortable" Before Ding Xiaolan's words fell, she saw Qi Lu signaling her not to speak with his eyes, and his hand had quietly reached into his arms, and he suddenly asked, "What person, you get out of here" Behind him there was a burst of unbridled laughter, followed by a few unknown birds flapping their wings from the grass and flying away in fright at the sudden laughter.
Everyone hurriedly turned to look at the place where the laughter sounded, and were surprised to find a young man with a clear face standing in the open space ten meters behind them.
"Ji Wei" Qi Lu was taken aback, knowing that the comer was not good, he quickly glanced at Lao Wu and reminded him to take precautions.
"Hehe, it seems that no matter how clever the concealment technique is, it won't work in front of Mr.
Qi."
Ji Wei clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at the three of them with a smile.
"What, do you want to deprive me of my mana again" Qi Lu said coldly, the spell of subjugation was recited in his mouth, and the spirit talisman between his fingers was already thrown towards Ji Wei.
Ji Wei just stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and the light that shot out from his fingers destroyed all the spirit runes that Qi Lu struck.
Lao Wu was shocked and quickly pulled out his short knife, and when he was about to step forward to meet the enemy, he saw Ji Wei waving his hand to signal a truce between the two sides.
I saw him take a few steps forward and said, "Mr.
Qi misunderstood, I didn't have any malice today." ” Qi Lu sighed lightly and said, "Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to pass a message to the master."
"Oh, what does she want to say" Hearing this, Qi Lu's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
"The master said congratulations on getting closer and closer to the truth."
Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then responded coldly: "In this way, you have been secretly following me" "On the contrary, I am protecting you on the orders of my master."
"What a clever word, tell your master for me, I don't need any help from her."
"I will definitely bring Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Qi's words, but if she can't listen to them, I can't guarantee it."
After Ji Wei finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but stopped again.
Qi Lu said coldly: "You've already finished speaking, why don't you leave?"
"Seeing how hard you've been looking, I have a good idea that will save you time looking for the ancient mansion."
"No, I don't need the help of the demons."
Qi Lu refused, beware of him taking the opportunity to play conspiracy.
Ji Wei was not angry, and still said to himself: "Didn't your buddy go to the archives to check the information, you might as well go again, compare the map of the village at that time with the real scene in front of you, and you should be able to roughly deduce the location of the ancient house." ” "I don't need you to bother with my business."
Ji Wei chuckled lightly, turned into a green rainbow and disappeared.
"See, even his master said that we are close to the truth, it seems that there must be treasure underground."
Qi Lu said with a sad face: "How can something that interests the six evils be such a mundane thing as a treasure.
And the truth will not be as simple as this guy said, just to protect us. ” "Of course, these demons don't show kindness for no reason."
Lao Wu said: "But the idea he just mentioned can indeed be tried." ” "Okay, you'll go to the archival coffin one more time."
Qi Lu agreed to Lao Wu's request.
"It seems that there will be no gain at the moment, let's go back and wait for Lao Wu to bring the drawings before discussing the next move."
Lao Wu drove them back to the Kunlun office, and went to the file coffin to find clues.
In less than an hour, Lao Wu came back, he first transferred the drawings and photos taken in his mobile phone to the computer, and then printed them into drawings and spread them on his desk before beckoning Qi Lu to come and check them.
According to the depiction of the drawings, the ancient mansion is located a little north in the center of the village, but Qi Lu was not happy at all after reading the drawings, but frowned and said: "The drawings are very simple, and they are not even marked with proportions. ” "What's there, and it doesn't stop us from finding the treasure."
Ding Xiaolan said.
"There is no size, there is no proportion, how do we determine the exact location of the house" "No wonder that youkai said that he could only roughly judge the location of the ancient house."
Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but feel cold.
Lao Wu smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, the solution is something that people come up with." ” Qi Lu was shocked and asked: "Do you have a way to find the specific location of the house?"
"Xiao Qi, come and see."
Lao Wu pointed to the drawings and said, "Look at what is next to the ancient house on the map."
Qi Lu looked at the place pointed by Lao Wu and immediately laughed.
"There's a well."
"Once we find the well, won't it be easy to determine the true location of the old house?"
"That being said, it's long since it was abandoned, and this well must have been filled, so I'm afraid it's not easy to find."
Lao Wu smiled and said: "It's not as complicated as you think, even if it is landfilled, there will be some traces left on the ground, and with our brains, we can still find it." ” "I hope so."
"I'm sure I'll find it, and I've found a useful clue in the archival coffin."
"Yes, let's hear it."
Qi Lu came to be interested.
"Have you seen this stele workshop at the entrance of the village?"
said Lao Wu, pointing to the square on the drawing marked with the word stele square.
"See."
Qi Lu raised a new question: "But when we went there just now, we didn't see a stele." ” "Of course, the stele has been demolished a long time ago, but when I walked around the ruins of the village, I seemed to see the traces of the stele pillars on the ground."
"Ah," Qi Lu was overjoyed, "If it is really as you said, we can find the well and the stele workshop, and then measure the distance between the two, and then compare the drawings with the specific location of the house." ” "Yes.
Although the drawings do not indicate the proportions, they should be depicted according to strict proportions, and according to your method, we will definitely be able to find the exact location of the ancient house. ” All three of them were beaming, and the matter was decided. i0 t1706231537:
