"No, I haven't searched it all yet. There's still one place I haven't looked for!" She clearly remembered that there was a basement on the architectural plan. They just looked at the room and didn't pay attention to the location of the basement.
"Where?"
Xia Yuanqiu took Zhu Yan downstairs and went directly to the backyard on the first floor. There was a row of small bungalows in the backyard, a total of four.
"Didn't we come here just now?"
Xia Yuanqiu didn't say a word and directly pulled him to the third room. There was a broken desk in the room. On the table was a pile of discarded calligraphy, which was covered with dust. There were also some miscellaneous items piled in the corner. , also full of dust.
Xia Yuanqiu asked: "Did you see it?"
"What?" Zhu Yan was confused.
"Do you see anything strange about this room?"
Zhu Yan looked around and suddenly pointed to the ground and said: "There is dust everywhere, but the ground is so clean. This is not normal."
Xia Yuanqiu nodded with a smile: "That's right, because there is an underground darkroom here, and people must come here often. In order to prevent footprints from appearing, they cleaned the floor and deliberately did not clean up the dust on the table in order to create a It feels like this room is deserted." She finally understood that all the rooms in this house, clean and tidy, with complete clothes and quilts, were all illusions, all to cover up this underground darkroom.
Obviously, there must be some very important secrets in this underground darkroom. Otherwise, how could they use an entire house to cover it up like this
She walked to a dusty wooden barrel and gently pushed it open. Sure enough, there was a square partition under the barrel.
Zhu Yan pulled Xia Yuanqiu behind him, drew out the fish-tail divine sword, picked up the ring on the partition with the tip of the sword, and pulled the partition open.
A puff of light green smoke suddenly emerged from the partition, and the two quickly retreated to avoid the thick smoke.
Xia Yuanqiu took the same antidote pill and stuffed it into Zhu Yan's mouth. To be on the safe side, she also took one.
"Luckily you were cautious, otherwise we would have been tricked by now!" Xia Wuqiu said with a smile.
Zhu Yan hummed: "Of course, this is all based on the experience of leading troops in battles for many years. Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. If I want to keep a secret, I will definitely do this."
Although the thick smoke had cleared, Zhu Yan still refused to let Xia Yuanqiu in. He picked up a piece of wood from the corner of the room and threw it into the secret passage.
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard coming from the secret passage. The secret passage was so narrow that if a real person entered, there would be no room for hiding.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "It seems there must be a mechanism. If we don't turn off the mechanism, it would be impossible for us to get in." She closed her eyes and recalled carefully, recalling the building she just saw on the strange rock. Picture, there must be a hint on it.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and walked straight to the half-broken desk. On the table were piles of inkstones and scrolls.
She counted the inkstones, held down the fourth inkstone with her left hand, and held the third scroll underneath with her right hand, turning them at the same time.
Just hearing a few soft clicks, an entrance was reopened next to the secret passage.
It seems that the entrance just now is the entrance that tempts people to die. This is the real entrance.
Zhu Yan gave Xia Yuanqiu a thumbs up: "Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?"
Xia Yuanqiu shrugged, "Maybe not!"
Zhu Yan threw things at the entrance of the secret passage a few more times, but when he heard no more strange noises, he felt relieved and took Xia Yuanqiu to jump in together.
