Chapter 207 A good show

After Ji An came back this time, he stayed at home for a long time, after all, it was to attend the wedding banquet of an aunt in the clan.Because I came back early, I have been waiting at home.

After a long time, Huo Jian would often take brocade books out to play, but the two of them most often went to the theater of the Hong family.The two came as usual today, and Huo Jian said to Jin Shu after entering the door: "You have a lucky ear today, it says that there will be Er Yuehong's show today, he is like this in their troupe!" thumbs up.

"February red?"

Ji'an said: "That's the stage name of Hong Guan. He is a second-class man, his surname is Hong, and he is also a master of opera, so he took this stage name."

Jin Shu nodded and followed in.Huo Jinshu likes to listen to operas very much. After all, as an 'old lady', there are not many activities for recreation.So when I heard Ji'an say that the Er Yuehong Opera sang well, I couldn't help but look forward to it.

Er Yuehong knew that they were coming, so she ordered someone to reserve the best seat. The housekeeper of the Hong Mansion greeted the two of them as soon as they entered, and took them to their seats.

Not long after, the gongs and drums sounded, and those who hit the board played the board, and those who went on the field went on the field.As soon as Nudan opened her mouth, Jin Shu couldn't help but praise her in her heart.This is an adapted version of "Mu Kezhai". The original traditional Peking opera has been adapted by him into a local Huagu opera, which really has a special flavor.Jin Shu squinted his eyes and shook his head following every move of the people on the stage, tapped the time with his fingers on the table, completely fascinated.

Until the end of the play, Jin Shu stood up with a 'huh' and applauded with everyone around him.

The next drama will not be Er Yuehong.Huo Jinshu felt boring after listening to it for a while, after all, he just drank fine wine and suddenly replaced it with white water, so he inevitably felt a little bland.Seeing Jinshu like this, Huo Jian called the housekeeper of the Hong family and asked where the official Hong was going.The housekeeper said that he went to the backstage to have a look, and came back after a while, and called Huo Jinshu and Ji An to meet in the past.

When the two passed by, Er Yuehong had already changed into casual clothes and removed her costume.A few people said a few words in the background, Hojian yelled that he was hungry, and went out to eat something together.

Er Yuehong said: "Where can I be hungry, Master Huo, haha. In a word, do you have any delicacies from mountains and seas. But if you want to eat something convenient and filling, I have a place to go."

Huo Jian said: "Your introduction is definitely not bad, let's go there! I went out for a run in the woods with Jinshu in the morning, and came to you as soon as I returned to the city before I had a good lunch. I am so hungry Awesome. Jin Shu, how about you?"

Not to mention that I haven't felt it yet, but Huo Jinshu also feels hungry when I talk about it.In the morning, she and Hojian had breakfast and left the city.Huo Jian took her to watch Feng Shui outside the city and practice her foot strength by the way.The two of them ran back and forth all the way.At this moment, the time is too high, and dinner and lunch are not suitable, but I am really hungry.

Huo Jinshu nodded.The three of them left the theater.

Er Yuehong took them to a very close place, a small roadside stall opposite the theater building.Two stoves were burning, each with a large pot filled with boiling water.There are four or five square tables along the wall next to it.It's a noodle stall.It's not mealtime now, there's no one there, only two porters who are sitting on a table are burying their heads in eating noodles.

Er Yuehong is obviously a regular customer here.He took Ji'an and Jin Shu to pick a table and sat down, then he called out to a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old: "Girl, come three bowls of Yangchun noodles!"

The little girl has a delicate face, her long hair is braided and hangs to one side, and she is dressed in a somewhat whitish Sulan bunt, looking fresh and clean.Originally, he was squatting on the ground washing the bowls in the big tub.Hearing Er Yuehong's words, she raised her head and saw Er Yuehong, her eyes lit up, and she responded, "Hey! Brother, are you here?!" After greeting, Er Yuehong didn't need to reply, she immediately got up and lit a fire by the stove The middle-aged man was busy.

While waiting, the three of them were talking.

It was rare for Huo Jinshu to take the initiative to say: "Master Hong's play is really haunting for three days. After listening to your play today, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to anything else in the future. It's rare that you are so good at acting and your play is so good. Really Impressive."

Er Yuehong said with a smile: "It's just the patriarch enjoying the meal, the family's rice bowl must not be lost."

After a while, three bowls of Yangchun noodles were served on the table.The clear soup is smooth, with a few small rapeseed lying on it, and a few chopped green onions sprinkled on it.Ji An took two tablespoons of chili peppers from the chili jar on the table and put them on the noodles. Once they were mixed, he began to eat them with big mouthfuls.

Huo Jinshu has a bland taste without any seasoning, as does Er Yue Hong.

Ji'an had already eaten a large bowl, and martial arts practitioners consumed a lot, and it felt almost meaningless to eat one bowl. After asking the other two people, they didn't want it, so they ordered another bowl.Then he said: "Why don't you two add any spicy peppers, this clear soup lacks water."

Er Yuehong said: "It's not as comfortable as you. I still have a few days to play, so I have to avoid eating. Is Huo's younger sister used to eating?"

Huo Jinshu said: "This soup is good, and the noodles are also chewy. Master Hong's recommendation is really good."

Huo Jian said with a smile: "If you were not born in the Huo family's house, I would still think that you were picked up by Aunt Shi. This taste is not like our local one at all. It is more like the area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. No wonder this You are used to Yangchun noodles."

A few days later, after the Huo family's aunt's wedding banquet, Ji An left the old house again.Once he left, Huo Jinshu seldom went out, and occasionally went to listen to Er Yuehong's play, and went to the opposite side to finish eating Yangchun noodles after listening to the play.Most of the time, she stayed with Aunt Jiu to learn professional knowledge.After all, in addition to skill, and the ability to appraise treasures.Looking at Shanding acupoints and Fengshui organs are all things that Huo Jinshu is unfamiliar with.

Just like that, after three years, Huo Jinshu was also ten years old.I have reached the age where I can go out to practice, but I am young after all.Like Huo Jian back then, she was also with the elders or seniors in the clan.

The Huo family members who want to go out will raise a blood moth, feed it with the blood of their hearts to form a cocoon, and the cocoon will be broken and the moth will come out, which can be sent thousands of miles away.Life and death in this business is unpredictable, and every time you go out, there is a risk of not coming back. The function of the blood moth is to let the Huo family members tell their last news when they are dying.

At the beginning, Huo Jinshu's parents were considered missing because the blood moth did not come back, but everyone knew that there was another situation.It was just too critical, and there was no time to release the bleeding moth.

After two years of experience with the clansmen, Huo Jinshu wanted to do it on his own.After all, in addition to guarding against the danger in the tomb, every time you fight, you have to guard against your own people from time to time, which is also exhausting.But if you want to go it alone, you have to prove that you have the ability.

In the past two years, Huo Jinshu's ability is obvious to all. Although he didn't want to let him go, he didn't want to really offend him to death.So the clan asked Huo Jinshu to find a treasure from the pre-Qin period as a test for her.

Tombs from the pre-Qin period are so easy to find now.The clan made this request because they wanted Huo Jinshu to retreat in spite of the difficulties.When Huo Jiuyi saw that Jinshu had made up her mind, she made peace with it, and finally decided that as long as it was an object from the pre-Qin period that came out of the ground, it would not be limited to the tomb of the pre-Qin period.

This is actually not easy to do, after all, it is not easy to find something that meets the requirements in a random tomb.The easiest thing is to find a clear target from the historical records, confirm that there is something that meets the requirements in his funeral objects, and go down to find it.But who would write down their funeral objects and invite others to steal them?

This may be a difficult task for others, but for Huo Jinshu, it is a huge shortcut.Be sure to make a request, and she immediately knows where she should go to find such a thing.

When Huo Jian heard the news, he hurried back and said to Huo Jinshu, "I'll accompany you."

Huo Jinshu said: "This is a family test, if you help me, it won't count."

Huo Jian said: "Let's go secretly, who can know?"

Huo Jinshu said with a smile: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you do it, people will know about it. If people find out in the future, will I lose face? How will I get along in the future?"

Huo Jian was in a hurry, "Then I can't let you go alone? How about this? I will accompany you outside and support you outside. This is not against the rules? Did you find where to go? Why don't you ask the red officer?" , their family has traveled far and wide, and there is more news, this time it is considered to beg for favor with him."

Huo Jinshu said: "I've chosen a good place, and it's safer for me to go to that place by myself. There are too many people to make an eye out for."

Huo Jian said: "Where can't there be one more person?"

Huo Jinshu approached him, lowered his voice and said, "Yuling."

Huo Jian hissed, took a breath, pushed Huo Jinshu's head and said, "You don't want to die? Although it is the Republic of China now, there is still a small imperial court of Manchu Qing survivors in Shichahai, near Yuling There are also mausoleum guards. It’s too dangerous. Besides, there is no record of the emperor’s funeral objects, so how do you know that there is what you want?”

Huo Jinshu spread his hands and said, "That's why I have to go alone. I'm ninety-nine percent sure that if I go alone, I'll be able to escape unscathed. What's more, I'm very sure there is what I want there."

Huo Jian sighed for a long time, and said: "You say you have your own ideas at a young age, and I will definitely not be able to stop you. If you need any outfit, tell me, and I will do it for you."

Huo Jinshu patted him and said, "Well, I've been practicing for two years anyway, and I have everything I should have. Well, no one has been in that place for about a hundred years, why don't you prepare some for me?" Lightweight oxygen cylinders and gas masks. Nothing else is missing. I'll go and come back soon, hee hee."

In their line of business, buying such things couldn't be easier. Hojian went out with his arms akimbo, and returned with the things in less than two hours.

The next day Huo Jinshu took the train northward to Peiping.

From Beiping to Malanyu, Huo Jinshu spent a few more days investigating.When they arrived at Malanyu, Huo Jinshu took advantage of the darkness and ran directly into the dumb room.In the past few years, Huo Jinshu's lightness skills have become better and better. Yuling is probably more familiar to her than the tomb guards here.

After all, because she was worried that there would be rumors from the outside world to speculate on the cause of Hongli's death, she deliberately spent three years in Yuling guarding his mausoleum to watch his filial piety, which made everyone in the world know that the Empress Dowager loved the late emperor like a sea.

During those three years, she entered Yuling's interior dozens of times to express her condolences.She has also carefully read the blueprints of the traps in the entire imperial mausoleum.Although Hongli in this world has lived longer for decades, the imperial mausoleum must have been modified and added.But the imperial mausoleum was completed in 17 years, even if it was changed later.The general pattern of the interior is unchanged.That's why Huo Jinshu has the most confidence in taking things from here.

The mute room is where the craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum lived, and those people are long gone now.The place was left vacant.Huo Jinshu came to the glazed screen wall to the north, groped under the moonlight, and pressed the mechanism.A tunnel appeared under the shadow wall.Huo Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was right in guessing, the general pattern has not changed.

Huo Jinshu took the lantern and walked all the way to the Vajra Wall.The Diamond Wall is made of white marble.Huo Jinshu took out tools from the backpack he was carrying, and removed a few stones from the middle to reveal a robbery hole of more than a foot.

Huo Jinshu put on a gas mask and walked all the way to the Vajra Wall with a lantern in hand.Enter the corridor along the entrance of the cave. The corridor is more than 30 meters long and is a slope. It was originally used to transport coffins, so there are no dangerous organs along the way.

At the end of the corridor, a smooth cut cuts off the road, and the remaining road was demolished when the tomb was closed.The lights of the wind lanterns began to flicker, which was a sign of thinning oxygen.Huo Jinshu took out the oxygen cylinder and connected it to the mask he modified.

He took out a miner's lamp from his bag and turned it on, and the light shone directly down the corridor.The place below is quite high from the ground, and the place seen under the light is full of sewage. The water in the century-old cemetery is naturally poisonous.

Huo Jinshu sighed. When the tomb was built, there was a water leak. Later, after rework, it had already been dealt with properly. Unexpectedly, there was still a water leak.The Qianlong of this world died late, so there is no reason not to deal with the water leakage problem.It seems that the Feng Shui of this place is not very good.

Huo Jinshu was even amused. Fortunately, after his death, he asked Yong Lian to find a new place to bury him on the grounds that he did not want to disturb the late emperor after he had been buried for many years.Thinking about his coffin in that world, there is no need to soak it in water.

The fact that there is water all over the bottom is naturally not a problem for Huo Jinshu, and the Huo family's unique knowledge came in handy at this time.She raised her hand and hooked an eagle claw hook to a raised protrusion in the distance, and then she flew over with the lamp in one hand and the rope in the other.

For the rest of the journey, Huo Jinshu knew that there were traps on the ground and walls, so he flew all the way through the air, avoiding the traps, and went directly to the stone gate of the main tomb, where Huo Jinshu stopped half-hanging in front of the door.

There are four stone gates in the Yuling Underground Palace. Each gate weighs three tons. There are ten thousand catties of copper pipe fans on the gate, and there is a top gate stone behind the gate.Huo Jinshu took out a thin iron ring, inserted it into the crack to cover the door stone, pulled it hard, and the door stone fell to the ground.Using the principle of leverage to pry open the stone door, Huo Jinshu opened the back door one after another according to the law, and finally entered the main tomb.

It was uncomfortable to hang all the way, so after entering the tomb, Huo Jinshu immediately found a high place to stand still.After finally getting his feet on the ground, Huo Jinshu changed the oxygen tank, then raised the lamp and looked around.There were night pearls placed around the main tomb, and the light was much better than outside, and she soon found what she was looking for.
