Chapter 717 Puzzle
Lu Fei's question made Gao Yuan and the other two suddenly enlightened.
Yes!
There seems to be no rockery in temples and ancestral halls.
Even if a wealthy family has a rockery, it must be inseparable from water.
Even if the rockery is not built in a pool, there must be a pool not far away.
The two are complementary and indispensable.
The rockery in the courtyard of the Xue family ancestral hall is built on dry land, and there are no pools or pools at all.
If they hadn't seen that the rockery was made of precious Taihu stone, others would have thought that the rockery was just like a naturally formed boulder, which is a bit abnormal.
Gao Yuan asked with a slight frown. .??.
"Brother, even if the rockery is abnormal, how do you conclude that there must be a treasure house under the rockery?"
Lu Fei smiled slightly.
"Of course there is basis for this."
"Old Xue, let me ask you, the person enshrined in the Dongpian Hall should be your great ancestor Xue Jinghe, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed the case." Xue Taihe said.
"I think all the buildings in the ancestral hall, including the statue of Medicine King, should have been built in the Ming Dynasty, and the coating of the shrine of your ancestor's statue is at most a hundred years old."
"If my guess is correct, this statue and shrine, including this rockery, should have been built by your grandfather Xue Fuchen, right?" Lu Fei said.
"Master, what you said is absolutely true."
"After the Hundred Days Reform, my grandfather was extremely disappointed with the court and resigned and returned home."
"These were built by my grandfather," Xue Taihe said.
Lu Fei asked next.
"Don't be angry if I say something!"
"Master, please speak!" Xue Taihe said.
"I guess your grandfather Xue Fuchen must have died suddenly."
"Hiss——"
"Do you know this?" Xue Taihe was shocked.
"Not only do I know that your grandfather died suddenly, I also know that there were no relatives around when your grandfather passed away. Am I right?"
"ah--"
"Master, you are truly a god."
"Yes, it is indeed true!"
"After my grandfather resigned from his position as imperial physician, he came outside the customs to guard the ancestral hall and build a medicine garden."
"The business of Tianducheng Clinic will be left to my two uncles to take care of."
"In the 21st year of the Republic of China, when my grandfather was inspecting the medicine garden, he suffered a heart attack and died on the mountain. He did not leave any will!"
Lu Fei waved his hand and said.
"No, you said it wrong."
"Your grandfather left you a will, but you were too stupid to understand it."
"What?"
"Master, what do you mean?" Xue Taihe was completely shocked.
"The situation was turbulent at that time, and your grandfather was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so he didn't dare to say it clearly, but kept it in a riddle."
"It's a pity that you didn't understand what he meant at all. It's such a pity."
"Riddle?"
Xue Tai and the other three people stretched their necks and said in unison.
"Yes, it's a riddle!" Lu Fei said.
"Brother, what are you referring to?" Gao Yuan asked.
"hehe!"
"You will understand if you look at the couplets on both sides of the shrine of Taizu of the Xue family."
As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, several people rushed into the East Side Hall.
Lu Fei pointed at the couplet and said.
"Look at this couplet."
"Zhongshan has a beautiful appearance, and its wealth lasts for thousands of years."
"Let's not talk about whether this couplet is consistent or not. Just look at these words and phrases and they shouldn't appear here."
"This is an ancestral shrine!"
"How can the word wealth appear?"
"Even an illiterate person wouldn't make such a low-level mistake!"
"Mr. Xue Fuchen is an old man.
Lord Buddha is waiting for the imperial doctor before he comes! "
"A person who can be an imperial doctor is not only highly accomplished in medical skills, but also must be a talented person with extensive knowledge."
"Do you think it's possible for such a person to make such a low-level mistake?"
"So, this couplet is basically a riddle left by Mr. Xue Fuchen for future generations." .??.??
"The true understanding should be that "the mountains show wealth and elegance, and the beauty lasts for thousands of years."
When Xue Taihe heard this, he suddenly became excited.
His body was straightened up, his face was flushed with excitement, and even the wrinkles on his forehead were stretched.
I was so excited that I felt like I was having a flashback.
Slapping his thigh hard, Xue Taihe shouted to Xue Cheng.
"Find someone immediately to remove the rockery."
Xue Cheng was also very excited and promised to find someone quickly.
Gao Yuan patted Lu Fei on the shoulder and said.
"You really are a kid."
Xue Taihe was even more complimentary.
"Master, you are really perceptive, meticulous and have a sharp eye."
"Stop, stop it!"
"Stop doing this with me."
"Forget it if you can't find something good. If you really want something good, I have to pick a few. Then don't cry with me." Lu Fei said.
"Looking at what you said, you can take whatever you want from the Xue family. I won't feel bad for anything you want."
"hehe!"
"I hope you mean what you say."
While talking, Xue Cheng called all six security guards guarding the ancestral hall over.
"Mr. Lu, tell me what to do!"
Lu Fei glanced at the rockery and said.
"First find a brush or paint and mark each piece of Taihu stone."
"Then use a crowbar to remove the rocks one by one from top to bottom."
“If not, we will have to restore the rockery later, so don’t mess up the order.
"
"okay!"
"Leave it to me."
Xue Cheng agreed and immediately started operating according to Lu Fei's method.
Taihu stone is honeycomb-shaped inside and has a light specific gravity, making it effortless to carry.
In less than an hour, the three-meter-high rockery was moved aside.
Lu Fei knocked on the ground with a crowbar.
The soil is hard and extremely dry, making it a waterproof triple soil.
Seeing this special soil quality, Lu Fei smiled with satisfaction.
Directing Xue Cheng and others to excavate on the spot, more than ten centimeters of hard Sanhe soil was lifted up, revealing a layer of fine sand underneath.
Then 20 centimeters of the sand layer was removed, revealing a wattle fence woven with wattle sticks.
Mulan Paddock has a dry climate and is protected by the Sanhe soil above. Even after a hundred years, the wattle fence is still well preserved.
Everyone became excited when they saw Jingba.
After clearing out five layers of wattle fence, there is a layer of straw mat woven from hay.
Then take out the ten centimeter thick straw mat, revealing two rows of staggered supporting logs underneath.
When the log is removed, a wooden cover one meter wide and one meter long is clearly visible underneath.
The wooden lid was not locked, so Lu Fei jumped down and opened it.
The moment the wooden lid was opened, a warm breeze mixed with a strong medicinal fragrance came to my face.
Lu Fei was extremely excited when he smelled this smell.
"Brother, come up first and let the air circulate before talking." Gao Yuan shouted.
"No, there are vents in here, the air is fine."
"Old Xue, are you strong enough? Do you want to go down with me and have a look?" Lu Fei shouted with a smile.
Seeing the treasure house left by his ancestors, Xue Taihe was already moved to tears. When Lu Fei asked, he quickly came over.
"Master, you don't have to worry about my health. I'm fine."
"This is a treasure house left by our ancestors. I must go down and take a look!"
