"Yeah." Gu Qing nodded, "It is said that it is a means of restraint. But since the Gu family lived here, the clansmen who went out to do business have never violated the rules of the clan.

Moreover, the means of restraint were passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch, and no one else knew about it. "

Ye Ruan frowned slightly.

My brother said that there are three Gu Chen substitutes in the basement of the Gu family ancestral hall. This should be one of the means, but these substitutes should be used for the aftermath.

The main means of controlling Gu Chen should still be from Gu Chen himself.

At this time, there was a loud noise from outside. The lights of the old house were not bright at first, but at this time, they could see the lights outside illuminate the whole sky of the old house as bright as day.

Ye Ruan stood up and said, "Let's go out and have a look."

Gu Qing also stood up and looked out curiously. Hearing Ye Ruan's words, she subconsciously replied, "We can't get out!"

"I'll take care of those dumb slaves." Ye Ruan said, already moving.

She shot quickly, and her subordinates moved quickly and accurately. Every time she retracted her hand, a dumb slave fell to the ground.

Gu Qing also learned some self-defense skills, but at this time he was stunned.

After Ye Ruan had solved everyone and waved at her outside, she came back to her senses and said to Ye Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, I said the reason we couldn't get out was not because of them.

It is because the arrangement of vegetation outside Xingtang is not the same as elsewhere.

The arrangement of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams in those gardens is used to guard against outsiders, but the arrangement here is used to guard against one's own people, so even I don't know how to get out of here. "

Ye Ruan looked at her calmly, "You know the arrangement of the other gardens of the Gu family, right? You can draw it and show it to me."

Although Gu Qing didn't know what Ye Ruan was going to do, she immediately came to accompany her when she found out that Ye Ruan had been arrested. She also trusted Ye Ruan.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to draw Ye Ruan the arrangement of the five elements and gossip of the entire old house.

When I was in the garden, because I was in it, it was difficult to see the overall layout of the whole yard.

But now that Gu Qing drew it, Ye Ruan easily understood the key points.

The layout near Xingtang is indeed different from other places. Other places are unchanged, but the route to enter and leave here is constantly changing.

This is also the reason why the Gu family dared not take any precautionary measures and brought her here directly.

When she came in just now, she also wrote down the way to enter here.

Although a bit more complicated than the routes elsewhere, there are always many similarities because it was designed by one person.

Ye Ruan studied the roadmap drawn by Gu Qing for a while, then stood up and walked outside, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

The surprise in Gu Qing's eyes flashed, and he quickly followed Ye Ruan's pace.

Every time Ye Ruan took a step, he would take out the picture drawn by Gu Qing to take a look, and then think about it before taking the next step.

Although he walked slowly, he did not take a single step wrong.

About two hours later, she and Gu Qing finally walked out of the garden near Xingtang.

As soon as they went out, a group of dumb slaves hurried past them.

The dumb slaves in the Gu family's old house all performed their own duties, and the tasks of these people had nothing to do with them, so even if they saw them, they walked right in front of them as if they didn't see them.

Gu Qing turned to look at Ye Ruan, "Are you going back to the courtyard to find Gu Chen?"

Ye Ruan was indifferently putting a dagger and a small pistol on his waist in a better position, and replied lightly, "Gu Chen should not be in the courtyard at this time."

Gu Qing glanced at her waist slightly in surprise, but did not ask any further questions, instead glanced at the dumb slaves in a hurry in the garden, and said, "Most dumb slaves are walking in the direction of the ancestral hall.

If they moved Gu Chen, they should have taken him to the ancestral hall.

I will take you there! "

"No." Ye Ruan glanced coldly at the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "I remember how to go in the past. You'd better leave the old house by yourself now."

Gu Qing looked at Ye Ruan deeply and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside first."
