Everyone looked at it with some gossip - Oh? Taking Zhan Zhao to meet relatives?

Zhan Zhao was also embarrassed. Haven't all the relatives of the Bai family been here before, so they still want to go?

Bai Yutang didn't say much, and asked Liangchen Meijing if a few children wanted to go together. The four children had nothing to do and happily went along.

Unexpectedly, before leaving home, Zhao Zhen also ran over and said that they would go visit his uncle and aunt together.

Nangong stood behind and held his forehead - who are your uncles and aunts?

Bai Yutang didn't stop him and took them out together.

…

The Bai family has a lot of relatives, but Mr. Wu actually didn’t bring much, and it felt like it was just enough for one family.

Sure enough, the carriage went not far and stopped in front of a large silk and satin shop.

A waiter ran out and took a look. He shouted, "The young master is here," and went inside to report it.

When the Fifth Master and others got out of the car, a "beautiful" middle-aged uncle from the silk shop ran out. The Fifth Master called him Fourth Uncle.

This fourth uncle's name is Bai Dong, who is Bai Xia's younger brother. There are four brothers in the Bai family, arranged in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The four brothers all look alike, they are all "young and beautiful". Of course, Bai Xia is the prettiest among the four.

Bai Dong's personality is quite similar to Bai Xia's, and he came out to tease Bai Yutang after teasing Zhan Zhao.

Bai Dong welcomed everyone into the house and entertained them warmly. Bai Dong also asked who Zhao Zhen was.

Zhao Zhen also teased him, saying that he was the emperor and was visiting incognito. He also said that he was familiar with Bai Xiake.

Nangong and Bai Yutang held their foreheads together.

Bai Dong was overjoyed and said that it was a great honor to have a distinguished guest. He took out all the fine wines in his collection and said that he would not return until he was drunk with Zhao Zhen.

Bai Yutang first took down the wine jar and said he wanted to inquire about something, and he would drink after he had finished inquiring.

Zhan Zhao was listening, and sure enough... Yutang was not just here to visit relatives.

Seeing that Bai Yutang was quite serious, Bai Dong asked, "What do you want to ask? Do you want to get married? I agree, I agree!"

While talking, he took out a red envelope and gave it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao's face was almost as red as the red envelope, and he squinted at Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master asked him to collect the red envelope, and by the way, he dragged Bai Dong back to inform his aunt, and asked him, "Fourth Uncle, Jiang Wanglou has returned to Jinhua Mansion, have you heard?"

Bai Dong was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared. He sat back and patted the table, "That villain still has the nerve to come back?!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Zhao Zhen were a little surprised. It seemed that Bai Yutang was not the only one who suspected Jiang Wanglou.

Bai Yutang still remembers that when he was a child, no one believed him when he testified against Jiang Wanglou, but Bai Dong came to see him that night.

At that time, his fourth uncle asked him in detail what he saw at night, and Bai Yutang told him about it.

After Bai Dong was silent for a while, he reached out and patted Xiao Bai Yutang on the shoulder and said to him, "Uncle Fourth believes in you! I also think he did it!"

…

The Bai family and the Jiang family have been neighbors for a long time, and they are all old acquaintances. Bai Dong has a very good relationship with Jiang Wanglou's father. They always play chess together when they have nothing to do, so Bai Yutang suspected that his fourth uncle also knew something, but at that time

He didn't say anything because he was too young, so he came here specifically to ask today.

Speaking of this, Bai Dong also sighed softly.

"I just have suspicions and no evidence... One time when Brother Jiang and I were drinking, he told me the secret of his family's prosperity." Bai Dong said, "The Jiang family suddenly became rich, and that's because of Brother Jiang.

When his father was young, he made a fortune. When Mr. Jiang was young, he was actually just an ordinary hunter. His parents died young and he lived a very poor life. Every winter, he would go to Kuaiji Mountain to catch minks and sell some furs.

...It was the middle of winter that year and it was extremely cold. Mr. Jiang encountered a blizzard when he went into the mountains, so he hid in a cave and waited for the snow to stop. Because of the cold weather, he lit a bonfire in the cave. But the strange thing was that this

It was obviously a cave with a leeward side, but the flames of the bonfire always fell to one side. He could also feel that there seemed to be wind blowing from one side of the cave wall. Mr. Jiang wondered if there was a cave behind the stone wall.

Ah... He didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He pulled out his dagger and dug a few times on the stone wall. It was actually dug through, and a large stone cave appeared behind it, with a downward slope. At that time, he thought

I wondered if I might have dug the entrance to some ancient tomb. At that time, I was too poor and crazy, thinking that everything was God’s will. If there really was an ancient tomb, I would go down and see if there were any treasures. If I could bring one or two items, I would spend the rest of my life there.

Everything was settled. So Mr. Jiang picked up a piece of firewood from the campfire and used it as a torch. He got into the cave and walked down the slope. He walked for an unknown period of time, and finally he walked

He said that he suspected that he had not entered the ancient tomb, but walked directly to the underworld, and the tunnel was too big and wide, several feet high and several feet wide. Mr. Jiang walked for a long time, and finally, a stone gate appeared in front of him, saying

The stone gate is so high that even the stone pillars cannot be surrounded by several people..."

When everyone heard this, they felt that this story was a bit familiar. Isn't this what the Demon King said about the stone temple underneath where he saw the giant's corpse?

Sure enough, what Bai Dong said later and what Mr. Jiang saw underneath was almost the same as what the Demon King said.

The only difference is that Mr. Jiang took out a golden spear from the giant's corpse. The old man broke the spear into several pieces, carried it out as a baggage, and used the gold as capital, which led to Jiang's future.

Family business.

If they had just listened to what Bai Dong said out of thin air, everyone might still doubt the credibility of the story, but the Demon King had said it before, so everyone easily accepted it and believed that Mr. Jiang was not lying. In addition, the underground he described

The stone palace and the bird-faced giant are exactly the same as those described by the Demon King, so they are probably not fabricated.

In addition, everyone is also curious that the skeletons of those giants that appeared in the Western Regions will also appear in the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away. Could it be that the land was really full of giants before?

"But what does this matter have to do with Jiang Wanglou's father-killing?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bai Dong sighed, "Brother Jiang told me that after his father got rich from outside, he had trouble sleeping and eating. He always felt that he had stolen burial objects, or even stolen sacred objects, for fear that future generations would be punished by God.

.So twenty years after taking away the golden spear, one day, he found someone to make an identical golden spear based on his memory. He was going to go into the mountain, find the cave, put it back, and kowtow to the giant's bones.

Apologize. But after entering the mountain, he couldn't find the entrance to the cave. He wandered in the mountain for a long time, and finally had no choice but to give up. When he was going down the mountain, he met an old woman."

"Old woman?" Everyone was puzzled - how could there be an old woman in the deep mountains and forests?

"The woman was carrying a pure white deer. She looked a bit fairy-like and felt like she was no ordinary person."

Bai Dong's description made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glance at each other subconsciously, thinking of the scene Bai Yutang saw in Kuaiji Mountain when he was a child.

But if you calculate the time, there is still a gap. If it is the same old woman and the deer... how old are they?

"The old woman asked Mr. Jiang why he was holding a golden spear. Mr. Jiang didn't know why, so he told the old woman what he had experienced and the purpose of his trip." Bai Dong continued to tell.

"After hearing this, the old woman smiled and told Mr. Jiang that she could hand it over for him, and Mr. Jiang gave her the golden spear."

Everyone didn't know what to say after hearing this. The old man seemed to be a little careless.

"The woman took the golden spear and asked the old man, did he only take the spear? Did he take anything else?" Bai Dong continued, "Mr. Jiang shook his head and said he didn't take anything else. The old woman said to herself

He said softly, "Who stole it?" After saying that, the woman left, and Mr. Jiang also walked back. He didn't take two steps, and when he looked back, the old woman and the white deer had disappeared.

Already."

After hearing this, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao still didn't understand what this matter had to do with Jiang Wanglou's father-killing, but they also raised a question, was there something else missing in the stone temple? Was there someone with him?

Mr. Jiang had the same experience, went in and took it away?

"Then that's the key point." Bai Dong changed the topic, "Brother Jiang told me that Mr. Jiang told him the legend about the spear several times... When he was fourteen years old, he told him according to the legend of his father.

According to the description, I went into Kuaiji Mountain to search and found the entrance to the cave."

Only then did everyone realize, "So the other lost thing was taken away by Jiang Wanglou's father?"

Bai Dong nodded, "Yes! Mr. Jiang will return the golden spear later."

"Then what did he steal?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Brother Jiang told me that there was a golden compass hanging on the giant's chest. He climbed up and took it out. The compass can be opened, and there is a strange tree carved on the outer shell. There are birds on the tree.

Behind the bird is the sun. When the compass is opened, there is a disc like Sinan with various symbols engraved on it."

Everyone recalled what the Demon King said about what they saw before. It seemed that they didn't mention the compass hanging on the giant's chest, but there were trees and birds, but they were all murals.

"Brother Jiang got down from the giant's lap and was studying the compass when he suddenly heard a strange sound of wind above his head. He looked up again..." Bai Dong said, his voice lowered a bit, "The man who was facing me just now

The giant sitting in front actually lowered his head, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him behind the bird-head mask."

Zhan Zhao and others couldn't help but tremble when they heard it - oh! Is the giant alive?

Zhao Zhen patted his chest - how scary it was at that time.

"Brother Jiang was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. When he got out of the cave, he kicked over the mounds of soil around the entrance. After the cave was sealed, he ran back home like crazy and didn't dare to tell his family.

What happened?" Bai Dong said and sighed, "Brother Jiang told me that he later gave this compass to his son Jiang Wanglou. He also said that Jiang Wanglou liked running to Kuaiji Mountain since he was a child, and he

He has been studying the strange patterns on the compass, and he is nagging at it. He is very uneasy, and always feels that the compass is not very auspicious. After so many years, he has always remembered the scene of the giant looking down at him. He and his son

He mentioned it several times and wanted to return the compass, but Jiang Wanglou not only refused, but also became very irritable and even threatened him. So he became more and more worried and wanted to steal the compass from Jiang Wanglou and return it.

.But not long after that, Brother Jiang suddenly committed suicide..."

Bai Yutang finally understood and nodded, "So Fourth Uncle, you suspect that Uncle Jiang's death has something to do with Jiang Wanglou?"

Bai Dong nodded, "But there's no evidence."

Bai Dong only knew this. After everyone came out of Bai Dong's house, they took the car back to Bai Mansion.

In the car, four children, Zhao Zhen and Liangchen Meili, were discussing the topic of giants. Bai Yutang was originally thinking about it, but soon his attention was attracted by Zhan Zhao... Zhan Zhao was better than him at this time.

He was still quiet and looked thoughtful.

Bai Yutang poked him.
