Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 456
At night, the main hall of the Wang family was brightly lit.

Sitting behind the desk, Wang Mang carefully looked at the belt in his hand.

He looked at the belt in his hand, and saw that the front of the belt was embroidered with many patterns with black thread, which could be divided into upper and lower layers.

The upper layer is a row of geometric figures in various shapes such as squares, circles, trapezoids, and polygons.

The lower layer is embroidered with many strange shapes of people and beasts.

Wang Mang shook his head and murmured, "What's the mystery here?"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Xiaotao, Uncle Li, Xiaomei and Xiaofeng walked in.

Wang Mang raised his head: "Xiao Tao, is there anything else on that little girl?"

Xiaotao walked in slowly, she shook her head: "Nothing."

Wang Mang nodded slightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Mountain of Darkness, Great Earthquake, Salary? Liangzhou, Jixiang Lane, Honggu."

Xiaotao sat down: "We just heard what Uncle Li said. This is what the little girl said before she died."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, what do these words mean?"

Xiaotao said, "Will the next few sentences tell us to give this belt to that person named Honggu?"

Uncle Li nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

Wang Mang looked at Xiaomei and Xiaofeng, and Xiaomei and Xiaofeng looked at each other: "Sister Xiaotao and Uncle Li are right."

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "If that's the case, then what does he mean by the dark mountain, the great earthquake, and the salary?"

Xiaotao and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Wang Mang murmured: "The Mountain of Darkness must be the old nest of the Black Clothes Society, so it can be translated into Black Clothes Society, Earthquake, Salary."

"But what is the relationship between the Black Clothes Club and the earthquake?"

Xiaotao shook her head: "Master, it's so late, don't even think about it, why don't I start a few secrets tomorrow and try?"

Wang Mang groaned, but did not speak.

Suddenly, Wang Mang thought of something, and nodded slightly: "Up to now, we can only find out from the inside of the Black Clothes Club. Let them find out what happened to the Black Clothes Club."

Xiaotao nodded.

……

The next morning.

In the main hall of the Wang family, Wang Mang was still thinking about what happened last night.

Suddenly, Wang Mang's eyes lit up: "I understand."

Xiaotao walked in: "What do you understand?"

Wang Mang said, "Xiao Tao, go and call Uncle Li, and we'll go and see that temple again."

Xiaotao nodded suspiciously.

The black-clothed Tianwang Temple in the center of the village still stood there quietly, and Wang Mang walked slowly with Xiaotao and Uncle Li.

"Sir, what did you think of?"

Xiaotao asked doubtfully as she walked.

Wang Mang smiled and pointed at the temple wall. Wang Mang carefully inspected the thick temple wall, and kept beating on the temple wall with his hand. There was a hollow sound from inside the wall.

Wang Mang said: "Did you hear that? There must be a mezzanine inside this wall."

Xiaotao and Uncle Li looked at each other, and they nodded.

Suddenly, Xiaotao pointed to the front and said softly, "Master, look there!"

Wang Mang looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, a faint white smoke rose from the corner not far away.

The three of them quickly turned the corner, only to see strands of white smoke rising from the gable at the back of the temple.

Wang Mang and Uncle Li looked at each other, stretched out their hands and kept groping on the wall.

Xiaotao looked at the two suspiciously.

Suddenly, Wang Mang's hand stopped: "Here!"

Uncle Li and Xiaotao hurried over, only to see a small wrench hidden in a hole in the wall.

Wang Mang pulled lightly, and a secret door popped open on the wall with a "click", and a puff of thick smoke rushed out.

Wang Mang shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, it's poisonous gas!"

The three covered their mouths and noses and stood aside.

After a while, the white smoke dissipated.

Wang Mang said softly: "Uncle Li, Xiaotao, you all stand in front of the door, I'll go in and have a look first!"

"no!"

Uncle Li and Xiaotao said in unison.

Wang Mang said: "My martial arts is the highest, don't worry, I am sure to get away, and taking you with me will affect me instead."

Hearing what Wang Mang said, Xiaotao worried: "Then you must be careful!"

Wang Mang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, according to my inference, even if there is someone inside, they should be dead. I won't make fun of my own life."

Under the repeated urging of Xiaotao and Uncle Li, Wang Mang walked in.

Inside the wall is a narrow secret passage with copper oil lamps on both sides.

Wang Mang walked slowly along the secret path, and a dark room appeared in front of him.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked in slowly.

The situation in the room surprised Wang Mang.

The two guardians in black danced, sang and danced, and giggled non-stop. Seeing Wang Mang walking in, one of them ran forward, smirking and opening his arms to hug Wang Mang.

Wang Mang turned to one side, and with a flick of his arm, he put the black-clothed guardian on the ground, and stretched out his hand to remove the bronze mask on his head.

What came into view was curly blond hair and a face with red eyebrows, white face, high nose and blue eyes.

Wang Mang took a deep breath: he looked like a Westerner!
Wang Mang asked, "Who are you?"

The guardian in black danced and sang: "God in black, I am the messenger of God in black!"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the black-clothed guardian turned white, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he stopped moving.

Wang Mang was taken aback, checked his breath, and murmured, "He's actually dead."

Hearing the commotion inside, Xiaotao and Uncle Li rushed in, and immediately saw the scene in front of them.

Xiaotao was surprised and said, "Well, what's going on here?"

Wang Mang frowned and did not speak.

Uncle Li and Xiaotao looked at another black-clothed guardian who kept jumping around.

Uncle Li asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Suddenly, Wang Mang's eyes lit up: "Could it be..."

"Sanggong (Master), what did you think of?"

Uncle Li and Xiao Tao looked at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang said: "If my guess is correct, they must have been poisoned. Does Uncle Li still remember the poisonous gas last night?"

Uncle Li came to his senses: "Young master, do you mean that we blocked the poison gas hole, and the poison gas was absorbed by the two of them instead?"

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "Looking at the current situation, it should be."

Xiaotao and Uncle Li gasped suddenly: "It's so poisonous!"

Wang Mang looked at the other man in black who was still jumping, and saw that his movements gradually slowed down, followed by spurting blood from his mouth, fell heavily to the ground, and did not move anymore.

Wang Mang sighed: "It looks like they danced all night, and he died of exhaustion!"

Xiaotao murmured: "What a vicious poison!"

Wang Mang shook his head slowly, stood up and looked at the situation in the room.

I saw some mechanism switches on the left side of the wall, and on the right side were two large crystal convex mirrors on the opposite side. Through the convex mirrors, you can see the situation inside the temple.

Beside the convex mirror is a row of more than a dozen iron trumpet-shaped sounding tubes.

Straight ahead is a row of hundreds of holes.
