Well of Mystery

Chapter 175 Meeting Su Zi Again

The first emperor broke the dragon veins of Jinling, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty destroyed the tomb of Li Tangzu, Song Taizong destroyed Taiyuan City, Li Zicheng and Chongzhen broke the dragon veins...

Throughout the ages, with the change of imperial power, it is not uncommon to change Fengshui and destroy dragon veins.Although the endings are different, they also have great hostility.Under such circumstances, not only the so-called "dragon vein" will be cut off, but everything around it - buildings, vegetation, and living things will also be implicated.

And these are completely different from the situation in Tailing.

Although it was put into the tomb-suppressing pottery beast suspected to be a dragon vein nail, the tomb was not damaged in any way.It is precisely because of this that many treasures and murals have been preserved.

Putting the dragon vein nails, but not destroying the mausoleum - does this mean that the person who nailed it still has respect for Jiang Han in his heart?

Anyway, just sitting in Xuanjing's apartment and thinking about it will not give you an answer.

Bai Xiuqi's idea of ​​going to the Tailing Mausoleum for on-site investigation unexpectedly got Ye Feng's support.

"If the tomb-slayer beast was deliberately omitted, then there is an insider in the committee. You are outside the system, so it is obviously more convenient to come forward and secretly investigate this matter."

It was as if it was premeditated, Ye Feng said that he could use his connections to provide strong support for Bai Xiuqi's investigation.These include a temporary residence in Baiguan Town near the mausoleum area, and a false identity to enter the mausoleum area management.

"These things were originally prepared for Mr. Jiang." As if guessing Bai Xiuqi's doubts, Ye Feng confessed: "However, he rejected my proposal and only said that he could help temporarily store the box containing the tomb-slayer beast at his place." .”

This is what happened when Jiang Chenglu went to the committee in the middle of the night.

Bai Xiuqi nodded to express his understanding, and then realized that since Jiang Chenglu had made it clear that he would not interfere with this matter.So even if you tell him that you are going to Baiguancheng Tailing, you will definitely not get his understanding and support.Instead of creating an atmosphere of conflict and tension, it is better to temporarily cool down.

Thinking of this, he asked Ye Feng: "When can I go there the soonest?"

"The fake identity can be used as soon as tomorrow." Ye Feng replied: "The place where you live will be fine today."

Bai Xiuqi nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave in a while."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chenglu left a short note that said "go out to collect music for a few days, don't read it".Bai Xiuqi took his luggage and drove on the road to Baiguan County.

There are few vehicles on the highway after snow.Often it takes several kilometers to see a slow snow removal vehicle on the opposite side.Although Bai Xiuqi was a little apprehensive, after three hours, he still arrived at the destination of the trip before it was dark.

In terms of scale.Baiguan County is actually just a small county town between plains and mountains.He grows ordinary crops and raises ordinary people, but because he is next to the imperial mausoleum of the Zhang Dynasty, he has business opportunities. After eating the weights, he rushed to the road of developing the tertiary industry with determination.

Vehicles enter the county seat.Drive through a few muddy asphalt roads due to snow, and bypass the circular flower beds with rustic sculptures in the city center.The road ahead turned into a concrete avenue.

This means that the Zhangling Research Institute is coming soon.

From the perspective of the most popular city classification nowadays, Baiguan County is just an ordinary fifth-tier small town.However, the Zhangling Research Institute established in the early 50s was affiliated with the State Council.And enjoying special treatment - not only the administrative level of the director of the research institute is far above the county magistrate.The research institute's financial expenses and income from tourism operations have no connection with the county seat; even the police station set up in the mausoleum area is not at the same level as the county seat.

but.This kind of suspected top-heavy relationship is not helpful-let alone how many business opportunities the Huangling tourism industry has brought to the residents of the county, let's just talk about the construction iteration of Baiguan County.It also seems to spread out bit by bit with the Zhangling Research Institute as the center.

According to the prompt of the car navigation, Bai Xiuqi drove the car into the family compound of the Zhangling Research Institute.The security guard who was hiding in the sentry box warming up was about to come over to question him, but after taking a closer look at Bai Xiuqi's license plate, he immediately opened the gate and let him pass.

It turned out that Ye Feng asked the license plate number just now for this purpose.

The so-called "family compound", of course, cannot still be the old one-story courtyard house.Seven or eight-storey small concrete buildings are scattered between the woods and the green belt, although they are simple, they are full of life.

It's really far from the high-end residential area I imagined——

Bai Xiuqi sighed in his heart, and continued to drive along the path that only accommodates two cars interacting, and finally parked the car in a small open space outside the community service point.

Looking forward from here to the right, a luxuriant bamboo grove hides a four-story old-style blue brick western-style building with red wooden pillars standing on the porch, and a vertical sign with black characters on a white background is hung on the pillars: "Zhang Mausoleum Research Institute Guest House".Behind the pillars are two brown glass sliding doors, with "Welcome" on the left and "Wine, Vegetables, Noodles and Rice" on the right.

Well, if Jiang Chenglu came to live, it would be a good fit.

It's useless to worry about things so far.Bai Xiuqi walked over to report with her luggage.At the front desk was a slightly rich aunt, who was very kind, and immediately handed over the key with a smile.

The room is on the top floor, because there is no elevator, you can only climb up with your luggage.

Bai Xiuqi gritted her teeth, rushed up to the fourth floor as if she was exercising, and opened the door of the room with trembling hands and feet, almost choking on the musty smell.

The note left to Jiang Chenglu was really correct, and I dare to feel that I really came here to pick up the wind.

Presented in front of Bai Xiuqi was a small space of less than fifteen square meters.On the left hand side of the door is a tall wooden cabinet, which contains spare blankets and pillows.Inside the broken wooden door on the right is the washroom. Blue and white mosaics are spread from floor to ceiling, creating a dazzling sense of space dislocation.

The path between the cabinet and the bathroom leads to the room, a boxwood desk, an old telephone, and a wooden bed that is neither single nor double.

The bed was covered with a cotton quilt, and the quilt was sewn with yellowed white cloth, with a large diamond shape cut out in the middle.The word "囍" embroidered on the big red forging surface is revealed.

Where did this thing come from? Which guest house would use bed sheets with the word "囍" on it!

Bai Xiuqi's eyes were darkened, and he missed his love nest far away in Xuanjing's apartment.No, even the kennel on Jiang Chenglu back then was much better than this one, at least that kennel would not make people feel sick...

At this time, Bai Xiuqi naturally thought of Jiang Chenglu again.

On the way just now, even though Bai Xiuqi put on a bluetooth headset on purpose.But he never received a call from Jiang Chenglu.

Since it was still daytime.Bai Xiuqi could still think that Jiang Chenglu must still be gathering with his old friends; but now that he can't see his fingers outside, should he continue to think that it would be better for Jiang Chenglu not to come home... or imagine that he has already returned home, but he is angry and angry? Wouldn't it be better not to call?

"...It's really not itchy."

Bai Xiuqi laughed that he had enough troubles in front of him.Still thinking about it.Quickly open the suitcase, take out the prepared sheets and quilts and put them on the bedding of the guest house.He boiled another pot of boiling water and scalded the toilet and bathtub inside and out.

These little things were originally just a small part of his life skills, whether he was a student or later living alone.All operated with ease.However, it seems clumsy to repeat it now.

If you think about it carefully, it really is... Ever since you moved into Xuanjing Apartment and lived with Jiang Chenglu.As long as he finds an excuse to say that he wants to create, Jiang Chenglu will obediently take care of all the housework.No matter what kind of person, if indulged in that kind of pampering, they will start to degenerate.

It's hard to finish all the chores.Hunger can't wait to report again.Thinking of the "Wine, Vegetables, Noodles and Rice" posted at the entrance of the guest house, Bai Xiuqi picked up his wallet and walked downstairs.

There is a small restaurant on the south side of the first floor of the guest house, or it should be said that it is a canteen.After seven o'clock in the evening.There was only one chef sitting at the door smoking, and he was not happy to see customers coming.He took a sharp puff of the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, then turned around and walked into the kitchen.

There is no menu in the store, and all the food is written on the small blackboard next to the food delivery port.Bai Xiuqi chose a well-heated seat and sat down, turning her head to look at the scribbled words on the blackboard.On top of his head were countless criss-crossing wires, which looked like some kind of large-scale torture device, which made people feel nervous.

Why...the waiter who ordered the food hasn't come yet?

Bai Xiuqi was wondering, when he heard the sound of the door opening again, finally No.2 customer came in.

"Hey, it's really cold today...Old Xu, warm up the wine for me, do you have any leftover from that day's drink?"

The somewhat familiar voice made Bai Xiuqi look up, and sure enough, he saw a familiar face.

The thin Su Zi was about to be wrapped up in a down jacket. He shrank his neck and rubbed his hands, and trotted into the cafeteria—it was strange to say, the atmosphere around him changed suddenly as soon as he entered the room.

"Yo, Xiao Su is here."

The chef, who had been ignorant just now, actually poked his head out from the food delivery port, smiling until the creases on his face turned into flowers.

"There's still wine, what's the matter, is it still the old rules?"

Just as Su Zi was about to agree, she caught a glimpse of Bai Xiuqi who was sitting beside her from the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened.

"Am I not mistaken?! Mr. Bai Xiuqi, is it really you?"

It seems pointless to deny it now, so Bai Xiuqi nodded in agreement.Su Zi simply ran over in two or three steps and sat opposite him.

"What wind brought you here?"

"Uh, next month a big leader is going to inspect the Tailing Mausoleum. I was entrusted by someone to serve as an art consultant for the museums and online websites in the mausoleum area."

Regardless of whether Su Zixiang believed it or not, Bai Xiuqi revealed the false identity that Ye Feng had set up for him. After all, there was a chef in the cafeteria, so we should be careful about the ears behind the walls.

"Oh... so that's the case!" Su Zi seemed to be convinced, and frowned seriously: "So, next month, the big man will come, so the days in the mausoleum area will be sad..."

"By the way." Bai Xiuqi once asked him in a low voice: "How do you order in this restaurant? Do you just go and talk to the chef? The dishes...are served by yourself?"
