Qining and Mrs. Suying were both surprised to find a package under the bed.
Mrs. Suying smiled and shook her head: "I don't know, there must be no treasures stored here?"
"There are many places to hide treasures in Fengjian Villa, why hide them here?" Qining laughed. The stone bed is not small, but the package is in the innermost corner. To take out the package, you have to climb onto the bed. Go underneath.
There were only two people in this stone room, so it was naturally impossible for Madam Suying to crawl in with her butt stuck out. Qining handed the oil lamp in his hand to Madam Suying and said softly: "Madam, help me light it."
Mrs. Suying took the oil lamp, and Qining had already bent down and crawled under the bed.
After entering under the bed, Mrs. Su Ying could only kneel on the ground, sticking out her plump and round buttocks to help Qining shine. Qining crawled to the corner and reached for the package. The package was not big and light. Qining was When he was about to turn around and exit under the bed, he suddenly noticed something strange. He saw a slightly raised floor tile in the corner where the package was placed. He felt a little strange and reached out to touch it. The floor tile was embedded in the ground and did not move at all.
The package actually seemed to have been placed there intentionally.
If it was just to cover up the stone brick, Qining secretly thought that it would be too stupid to do so. If there was no package under the bed, no one would crawl in to check. It was the presence of the package that attracted people's attention. If the package was In order to cover the floor tiles, it is counterproductive and smart.
He took the package and exited. There was also dust on his body, but he didn't care about it at this time. He sat on the ground beside the bed. When he saw that the package was stained with dust, Mrs. Suying squatted opposite Qining and slapped her. Light.
Qi Ning glanced at Mrs. Su Ying, smiled slightly, and then opened the package. After opening it, she discovered that there were several books inside. Qi Ning picked up one and saw the four words "Ziyun Sword Manual" written on it. , then I realized that there was actually a sword manual in this package.
Mrs. Suying also saw it and asked with some confusion: "Why are these sword manuals placed here?"
Qi Ning took a few other books, but they were all sword manuals. He looked through them with an oil lamp. The contents inside were indeed true swordsmanship. However, Qining had practiced Wuming sword manuals. Wuming Every move in the sword manual was mysterious and mysterious. Now when he looked at the swordsmanship in it, he felt that it was ordinary. He knew that the sword moves in these sword manuals might not be ordinary, but his starting point in swordsmanship was too great. It's just like looking at a twenty-story building at the beginning, and then looking at a four or five-story building, you won't find anything amazing.
"Seeing that these sword manuals have turned yellow, they should have been placed here a long time ago." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Madam has lived here since she was a child and does not know the existence of this underground stone chamber, but Gang Leader Xiang should know Bar?"
"He?" Mrs. Suying thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe he knows, but I'm not sure."
"Fengjian Villa has become famous in the world, relying on swordsmanship." Qi Ning stood up and said with a smile: "This place was naturally not built... not to imprison others, maybe to avoid powerful enemies, but I think , this is probably a place used for seclusion to practice swordsmanship.”
"Sword practice?"
"Perhaps Gang Leader Xiang and even Master Xiang practiced swordsmanship here." Qining said: "No one will disturb you here. If you stay in seclusion here, you may be able to understand some of the essence of swordsmanship."
Mrs. Suying thought for a moment and said, "That's quite possible."
"These sword manuals should have been used by them to practice swordsmanship. Later they didn't use them and threw them under the bed." Qi Ning said: "These sword manuals are not about mysterious swordsmanship, so it is not appropriate to deal with them like this. It’s weird.”
"A few sword manuals shouldn't be of much help to the Marquis."
Qi Ning frowned suddenly and said, "But there is a very strange place under this bed."
"strangeness?"
"Under the package, there is a raised stone tile. It seems that it was not handled properly when laying the floor tiles." Qining frowned and said: "But the architecture of Fengjian Villa is very particular. Logically speaking, such an omission should not occur. .”
"Then... is it possible that it is some kind of mechanism?" Mrs. Suying asked: "Actually, when Yinghe Villa was built, Lu Shanghe also secretly built a tunnel, and also designed many mechanisms in it... Is it possible that there is something like this? Same?"
"It's possible." Qining said: "But if you want to check that place, you have to move the stone bed, otherwise it will be very inconvenient."
Mrs. Su Ying said: "If it is really an agency, we can naturally investigate it." She said a little apologetically: "But... But I don't have the strength to help you."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That's okay, madam, I'm sorry!" He walked over and held the stone bed, focusing on his arms. The stone bed was entirely made of stone. Fortunately, it was not connected to the ground. Mrs. Suying Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, be careful."
Qi Ning held his breath, his inner strength was everywhere, and he was pulling outwards. His inner strength was so abundant that the stone bed made a rattling sound, and he was slowly pulling him out. Mrs. Suying saw it and looked surprised, obviously not expecting Qi Ning. He actually has such inner strength.
Pulling the stone bed open, there was a gap in the corner. Qining took the oil lamp and went over. Seeing that it was indeed a raised stone brick, he pressed down with his hand. The stone brick did not move at all. He thought for a moment , used the cold blade to pry up the stone brick, and found that there was nothing special underneath. He was a little unwilling, and used the cold blade to pry up all the stone bricks on the side, but still found nothing. He could only smile bitterly and said: "It seems that it is I was overthinking it.”
Mrs. Suying frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Master Marquis, could this be a trick to attack the east and attack the west?"
"Speaking in the east and attacking in the west?" Qi Ning didn't understand for a moment and asked, "How do you say this?"
"I'm thinking, if this underground stone chamber is really built to avoid powerful enemies in times of crisis, there will definitely not be only one exit." Mrs. Suying said: "If there is only one exit, like now, and it is blocked, All we can do is sit back and wait for death.”
Qining nodded and said, "That's true."
"Xiang...Old Master Xiang won't be so confused." Mrs. Suying said: "I know his temperament. He will consider the escape route and be very cautious in everything, so I think there must be another way out here, but it is not easy to be discovered. After a pause, he said: "I'm wondering if this raised stone brick is intentional to attract attention."
Qi Ning vaguely understood what Mrs. Suying meant, and said: "Madam, you are saying that the old village owner also considered trapping the enemy here, and was worried that others would easily find other exits, so he set up a maze formation and let people trap the enemy here. Focus on this?"
"If someone is really trapped here, they will definitely try their best to find other exits. Once they find this place, they will definitely focus on it." Mrs. Suying said: "In this way, other places will inevitably be ignored. place."
Qi Ning rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Madam is right. Anyone who is trapped will find other ways out, let people discover this place, and then let the opponent focus on it, and wait until they find out that this is not an exit mechanism. , will definitely lead to frustration or even despair, and some people may even give up and continue to look for a way out, haha, Madam is really smart, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought there would be no way out."
Mrs. Su Ying smiled lightly and said: "But... even if we make a fuss from the east to the west, we... we don't know where the other exits are."
Qi Ning looked around and said, "It should be in this stone room." He didn't say much, held the cold blade in his hand, and started tapping the brick surface with the cold blade from around the protruding stone. Mrs. Suying knew that he was I was testing which floor tile had a problem, and I held an oil lamp nearby without disturbing me.
Qi Ning did not miss a single stone. This stone room was not big, but there were four to five hundred stone bricks paved on the ground. Qi Ning knocked on hundreds of stone bricks, and they were all tamped tightly. Suddenly, the cold blade knocked down, but there was an "empty" sound. "At the sound of the sound, Qining immediately stopped and looked up at Mrs. Suying. Mrs. Suying also slightly opened her beautiful eyes. A smile appeared on the corner of Qining's mouth. He carefully used the cold blade to pry open the stone bricks, but there was a A piece of iron plate. Qining pried open four stone bricks. The iron plate was completely exposed. There were small raised characters on the iron plate, just like movable type. There were nearly a hundred characters in total. He was stunned. live.
Su Ying approached and was a little surprised when he saw the movable type iron plate.
These engravings were all raised and densely packed, and it looked like they had been pressed down deliberately. However, Qining was at a loss as to how to open the mechanism.
"There should be a password." Qining smiled bitterly: "If I guessed correctly, you have to press the engraved characters in order to open the mechanism, but there are nearly a hundred characters here, and we don't know how many characters we need to touch. I don’t know what the order is...!" Sitting on the ground, he shook his head and said: "There are countless combinations. Even if it takes decades, we may not be able to figure out the password."
"Password?" Mrs. Suying was obviously a little confused about this term. She stared at the iron plate with her beautiful eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "We can give it a try. This is Fengjian Villa. Look... these four Is it okay to say a word?"
Qi Ning was thinking about it now, so he had no choice but to give it a try. He first found the four engraved characters of Fengjian Villa, and then quickly pressed them in order. The engraved characters could indeed be pressed, but after pressing them, there was no reaction. .
Qi Ning sighed: "This old village owner is really an interesting person. The organization is so formal. I don't know how he came up with it."
"Then you try Xiang Wuji. This is the name of the old owner Xiang Wuji."
Qi Ning searched for it, but there was not even the word "Ji". He tried the word "Xiang Xiaoyao", but there was no movement. He thought that he would never be able to finish this game in his life. When he saw Mrs. Su Ying, she was also a little sad. After thinking for a while, she said: "Madam knows the old manor owner Xiang quite well, but do you know what books he likes best? Or what poems he likes?"
Mrs. Suying thought for a while, and then mentioned the names of several books and a few poems. Qining tried them one by one, but they all had no effect. Mrs. Suying pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "There is a sword to the old village master. In the sword room, there were many swords collected there. There is a plaque in the sword room with the word 'No Self' written on it. Lord Marquis can also give it a try!"
Qining did not hesitate. He found these two words and pressed them quickly. Hearing a "crack" sound, the two of them followed the sound and saw that a wall in the corner was slowly cracking. Both of them were Showing a look of surprise, Qining clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's done, this is the password!" He was so excited that he saw his wife smiling too. She was so beautiful that she wanted to hug her and kiss her.
