Chapter 357: The Chen Family (21)

After watching the second master leave, I turned around.

The first thing I saw when I looked up was a large red gold plaque on the Kowloon Green Ground. On the plaque were written two big Chinese characters: "Cut the Candle".

Cut the candle?

I secretly wondered in my heart, why should we cut the candles from the west window together?

When my grandfather built this house, was he commemorating someone?

The words "Jianzhu" are written in thin gold script. I stood under the plaque and looked at it, and it seemed to have the charm of Song Huizong.

However, the situation at hand is urgent, and I don't have extra time to study the art of writing these two words.

I pushed the "shear candle" door open with a little force.

It is worth mentioning that on both sides of the entire passage I just walked through, the door leaves of all the houses are similar to Japanese sliding doors, and the "shear candle" door is an old Chinese style hollow carved door leaf.

Without any effort, the door was opened by me.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple.

There are four white marble pillars standing at the four corners of the room, and the surrounding walls are all carved with white stone bricks.

However, there are no carved decorations on these pillars and brick walls, they are all plain.

Next to the window there is a writing desk covered with pens, ink and papers, and three or four bamboo bookshelves next to it are crowded with various books.

And I can tell at a glance that those kinds of books are just like the books collected in my grandfather’s study. They are extremely precious, and it can even be said that they are almost all unique ancient books.

On the red sandalwood table against the wall opposite the window, a guqin is bathed in the fragmented sunlight that slants in from the window.

To my surprise, after searching the whole house, I found that there didn't seem to be any modern lighting equipment, but the pair of rather large brass candlesticks next to the guqin were particularly conspicuous.

All in all, it is a simple but not elegant study room. It is my ideal study room.

Just when I was still immersed in the furnishings and layout of the study, the "hissing" sound came again.

I came back to my senses instantly, and the black snake really followed me in.

The black snake was already hovering on the pillar a little far away from me. It seemed that its goal was the same as mine.

Don't let your mind wander, it's important to get down to business.

After I reminded myself in my mind, I started thinking about how to climb to the roof.

The roof of Jianzhu Study Room is a caisson structure, so there is still a certain distance between the roof and the ground.

If Chen Mo were here now, he should be able to jump to the caisson in a few times, but with my little skills, this is still a big challenge for me.

At this time, my eyes fell on those bamboo bookshelves.

If I could stand on the "shoulders" of the bookshelf, then with my height, it might be no problem to climb up to the roof.

However, this bookshelf is made of bamboo, so I don’t know if it can bear my weight.

The situation was urgent, and I couldn't think too much about it, so I stepped on the desk by the window, and then climbed up the bookshelf.

Fortunately, this bookshelf can still bear my weight.

Therefore, the height of the bookshelf plus my height allowed me to reach out and touch the bottom edge of the roof of the caisson.

My arm strength was pretty good, so I climbed up with both hands and finally caught up with the big black snake and climbed onto the roof of the caisson.

Almost before I could stand still, the big black snake was already hovering on the roof.

This guy has been following me, and I can't help but think of the words of the second master. He said that it takes a certain amount of skill to get the Quegui Pill. Does this big guy want to help me?

If this is really the case, then is this help also part of the mother's kindness to the second master?

I have seen this caisson quite a lot before, but this is really my first time climbing up the roof of the caisson.

The internal structure of this caisson is somewhat similar to a staircase, and it narrows upwards as it slopes.

Although it was daytime, there was still a little lack of light inside the caisson.

I searched around with my eyes and found the desk that Chen Mo described without much effort.

The moment I saw the desk, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, because there were actually three small incense sticks inserted into the small incense burner on the desk.

What does my grandfather enshrine on the roof of his study?

And looking at the length of the incense burning, it must have been just lit.

Was this incense burned by Master Er?

He knew clearly that Chen Mo and I were aiming for Queguiwan on the desk, but he still let me in.

Is it really just because of what he said was his mother's kindness to him?

I don't know why, but I suddenly have the feeling that we are getting deeper and deeper into this trap.

However, Chen Mo is still outside at this moment. Even if I find something, I can't turn back. The only thing I can do is to go on until the person who set the trap jumps out.

The first release of this book: Tadu Novel app - free, no ads, no pop-ups, and you can interact with book friends.

Therefore, I didn't hesitate too much. After a moment of silence, I moved in the direction of the incense table with hands and feet.

What surprised me was that the big black snake did not follow me towards the incense table, but climbed up to the top of the caisson.

Could it be that the purpose of this guy following me in was not Quekimaru?

Suddenly, I wanted to follow it up and see what its goal was.

However, when I thought that Chen Mo was still outside fighting with those black snakes, I could only give up this idea. After taking the white porcelain gourd bottle enshrined in the center of the desk, I followed the route I had just taken and returned to the ground.

However, just as my feet landed on the ground, the black snake scuttled down from the caisson at an extremely fast speed, with a beam of faint green light at the snake's tail.

I took a closer look and saw that the black snake's tail was actually wrapped around a tree that was about the size of a potted plant.

The small tree brought down by the black snake is covered in emerald green, but the texture of the crown is a bit like leather. The older leaves have a dark brown-green epidermis, and the newer leaves have an emerald-green epidermis. The entire tree crown feels like It seems to be made of many tiny scales.

There are many aerial roots on the crown of the tree. It may be because they have just been uprooted by black snakes, so the aerial roots are basically in a torn state, and there are still dark green spots on the torn edges of some aerial roots. Liquid dripped out.

Suddenly, the black snake seemed to no longer want to follow me. After it landed, it no longer walked with its upper body upright as before. Instead, it resumed its crawling nature, crawling on the ground with its entire body, and quickly fled from the room. When I went out, I felt like it was in a hurry than I was.

The moment the black snake passed me by, I caught a glimpse of something the size of a transparent pebble in the center right of the crown of the small tree.

The transparent oval shape is tucked into the middle of the dense leaves of the tree crown, and is faintly visible under the cover of the leaves.

It was also because of this small transparent "pebble" that I immediately knew what kind of plant it was.

I once saw this kind of tree called Lingfu tree in the ancient books collected by my grandfather.

All the plants on this planet have a deep attachment to the land, but only the Lingfu tree yearns for the sky.

It is recorded in the ancient books collected by my grandfather that the gods live on the floating tree. As long as you get a leaf of the floating tree, you can have powerful perception ability, because it can make the soul and body of all living things have a momentary connection. After breaking away, without the restraint of the body, the soul can perceive all things in the world more freely, but in a person's life, he can only get at most one leaf of the spirit tree.

My grandfather actually planted such a tree directly in his pharmacy. His ability is really beyond my understanding.

However, although the black snake is a very spiritual creature, the act of being able to steal such a precious thing accurately cannot be accomplished by just an animal.

The second master just told me that he tamed this black snake, so could it be that he instigated the black snake to steal the Lingfu Tree?

But Chen Mo and I made such a fuss in this pharmacy again, so he just happened to blame Soochow?

If this is the case, then Chen Mo and I are in a very bad situation and we need to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, I immediately rushed out of the pharmacy.

However, in my nervousness, I actually forgot what Chen Mo told me, to keep walking to the left on the way out.

By the time I remembered, I had already wandered two intersections.
