The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1956 Liu Zhai
The Liu Mansion is indeed a mansion!
It can be said to be "a pressure of ten miles"!
The two black lacquered ebony doors, nearly three meters high, were inlaid with ninety-nine and eighty-one gilded floating nails. The eyes of the beast heads holding rings were inlaid with Persian fire beads, which glowed faintly in the night.

Two huge vermilion lanterns reflected a circle of red, with a big word "Liu" written on it!

The bluestone imperial road in front of the gate is wide enough for five carriages to run side by side. Beside the road, the branches of the century-old locust trees are twisted, and knife marks and blood stains are still visible on the bark - it is said that they were left by the head of a certain generation who personally killed a rebellious slave!
On the left is a white marble dismounting stele with the words "Civil officials dismount from sedan chairs, military officials dismount from saddles" engraved on it. Beneath the stele squats a snowflake lion presented as tribute from the Western Regions, with a fluorite in its mouth that changes color with the seasons. On the right is a Taishan stone talisman that is bright red in color with cracks that naturally form the character "敕". Whenever there is a thunderstorm, it oozes blood and sweat that smells like rust. There are many versions of the legend circulating in the local area.

At this time, the door was open, and two strong men were guarding each side, looking around, as if waiting for someone.

Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shiwu walked straight over.

When the two strong men saw the two young men approaching, they became alert and one of them shouted directly, "Who are you?"

However, there seemed to be a flash of strange light in the eyes of the young man in white, and the expressions of the two strong men froze, and their eyes became dim.

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What are you two doing here?"

The strong man on the left immediately bowed and said, "Master, the master asked us to wait for the distinguished guests!"

At this moment, Pang Shiwu immediately knew that Feng Jiuxiao had actually used the "Isolated Small World" skill, and the two strong men fell instantly! It seemed that the two men had directly mistaken Feng Jiuxiao for Liu Changfeng!

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Distinguished guest? Distinguished guest from which place?"

The young man said, "The miraculous doctor, the Shadowless Hand, Xue Yufeng!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked, "One of the ten great doctors in the world, Xue Yufeng, the Shadowless Hand?"

The young man said respectfully: "Yes!"

"What is he here for?"

"I don't know. The fourth young master invited us here to welcome him."

"Okay, then you guys go meet them." Feng Jiuxiao said and went in, and Pang Shiwu followed him in.

The two of them turned around and saw the Nine-Dragon Colored Glaze Screen Wall. There were nine dragons on the wall, and the dragon eyes were inlaid with jade.

Feng Jiuxiao looked at the dragon eyes and said, "It is said that the emerald dragon eyes on the screen wall will change color depending on the rank of the viewer. They are obviously fake! My rank is not low, but you see they haven't changed color at all!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Maybe it's because the light is too weak at night, so the change is small."

Feng Jiuxiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "What does this have to do with the intensity of light?"

He suddenly frowned and looked down at his feet. He saw tiny characters engraved on each of the blue bricks in the courtyard. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Buddhist scriptures, at least the Heart Sutra was prominently listed.

At this time, male servants and maids passed by and saluted Feng Jiuxiao one after another: "Hello, Young Master!"

"Hello, young master!"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded in response. Pang Shiwu said, "Why do they all think you are the young master? Logically, different people should see you differently!"

The reason why Pang Shiwu was confused was because he knew the principle of Feng Jiuxiao's "isolated small world", which was to forcibly break into the other party's spiritual world and make the other party have the illusion that he was being pulled into the "outside world"!

Sometimes, in an isolated little world, there may be a world ruler who can call the wind and rain and turn the world upside down;
Sometimes, in the isolated small world, there are only the people they respect the most, the people they are closest to, or the people they fear the most! When facing the elders they respect the most, they can only submit and feel guilty; when facing the people they fear the most, they can only tremble in fear! Therefore, although the people who appear in the small world cannot turn the world upside down or call the wind and rain, they are enough for them to tell everything they know and say everything they want!
Everyone in the Liu Mansion actually "respected" Liu Changfeng. Pang Shiwu found it incredible! No one respected the Second Young Master? No one respected the head of the family?

Feng Jiuxiao said: "First of all, I have seen Liu Changfeng and am familiar with his words and deeds. Secondly, when I performed my magic, I deliberately imitated his walking posture and speaking tone. This helped me to directly construct the image of Liu Changfeng in their minds, so the people they saw all looked the same."

Pang Shiwu said: "I see. Then first you have to know Liu Changfeng, and secondly you have to understand Liu Changfeng, right?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Of course! Isolating the small world is purely a way of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. I use powerful hypnosis to make them imagine the person they care about the most in their mind, and then use the image of the person they respect or fear the most to trick them. But if I have a clear image of the master in my mind, I will forcefully intervene in their self-construction and let them imagine the world master in the small world according to my presuppositions!"

Pang Shiwu said: "I understand!"

The two of them strolled around and talked, and any person they met in Liu Mansion they hypnotized, it was like they were in an empty place!
There were twelve nanmu doors in the east wing, but only one was open. Inside, the lights were bright and several scholars were writing calligraphy at the same time. The scent of ink mixed with the warmth of the silver frost charcoal burning in the ground.
Seven kinds of torture instruments were nailed to the outer wall of the West Wing torture room, ranging from bamboo boards to cold iron hooks. The iron horses under the eaves were cast in the shape of a prisoner opening his mouth to cry for help, which was chilling!

Pang Shiwu said: "This Liu family actually set up a private torture chamber!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "That's right!"

Entering the second courtyard, there is a five-room flower hall with a hipped roof built on a koi pond. The pillars are covered with shark skin to prevent moth damage, and the floor has hidden copper pipes connected to the pond water, which makes a guzheng-like sound when people step on it.

The Taihu stones in the pool are carved into the Eighteen Arhats fighting a dragon, and a green parrot that can learn human language is kept in the stone holes.

The roof of the corridor connecting the front and back yards can be opened and closed. On sunny days, the sandalwood painted "Night Banquet of Han Yu" is revealed, while on rainy and snowy days, the shark silk curtain is lowered, on which 365 poems of "Yu Tai Xin Yong" are embroidered with human hair.

After entering the third courtyard, you will find a three-story pavilion with a pointed roof as soon as you enter the door. There is a plaque on it with the words "Bronze Sparrow Pavilion" inscribed on it.

The pavilion is copper-colored, and I don't know if it's made of copper paper or pure copper. There is a copper clock inside the pavilion to tell time, and the sundial in front of the pavilion has a half-sword as its needle.

The winding water from Yuquan Mountain is divided into nine tributaries in the courtyard, each with a bridge made of different materials - the "Naihe Bridge" made of white marble, the "Xianren Ferry" made of dark wood, and even the "Ghost Gate" made of skulls of prisoners of war. The bottom of the water is covered with copper coins from the previous dynasty, with red strings tied to tortoise shells through the holes of the coins. When fortune-telling, the entire water vein will have waves without wind.

Pang Shiwu frowned, "I can tell at a glance that the Liu family is not a good person! A wooden bridge that is only a few feet long has such a domineering name! Naihe Bridge, Immortal Ferry, Ghost Gate, they really think this place is hell!"

The fourth courtyard is probably where the treasure cave is. The wall of the five-bay storehouse is filled with lead to prevent thieves, and the door lock needs to be turned with three keys at the same time - kept by the chief butler, the eldest son, and the maid. The indoor treasure pavilion is arranged according to the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Among them, the "Wei Ji" grid is used to store counterfeits, while the "Ji Ji" grid displays wine vessels made of enemy generals' skulls.

In the fifth courtyard, the trunk of the thousand-year-old sycamore tree in the center of the courtyard has long been hollow, with seven sandalwood coffins inside, and the bark is engraved with birth dates written in cinnabar. There is a copper crow's nest hidden in the tree canopy. Whenever a member of the tribe is about to die, the lonely crow in the nest will fly to the eaves of the house and hang upside down.

The four walls, ceiling and even the floor of the main mirror hall are inlaid with mercury mirrors, and the mirrors are separated by thin jade slices. People can see countless versions of themselves from different time and space. The Buddha niche does not offer a Bodhisattva, but a perpetual lamp made of mermaid fat, and the face of a drowned person occasionally appears in the flame.

The rockery is made of English stones and piled up into the Eight Formations. Five-step snakes are kept in the cracks of the stones. The mandarin duck tiles on the pavilion on the top of the mountain will change color according to the temperature to warn
There are twelve large vats buried under the floor, in which are pickled the embroidered shoes of successive disfavored concubines. When the wind blows, a whimpering echo is heard!

The pavilion in the center of the lake looks like a martial arts training ground, but in fact, the ground is covered with flip-up traps. Once the mechanism is triggered, three-foot-long caltrops will rise instantly!
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan's hearty laughter was heard, "Brother Liu, my daughter has been brought to you. When will the wedding banquet be held?"

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
