Chapter 638 Unless
"Well, the whole mansion is quite large, and what we see is a map of the same scale, you see, this is the location of the guest rooms, which is where we are now...... In the middle is the main courtyard where the city lord lives, and the city lord is a happy and quiet person, there is nothing big about it, and generally no one will recruit the city lord. ”
According to Douzi, in the entire mansion, many things are solved by the housekeeper Situ Lei himself, and he rarely offends the city lord, with such a capable subordinate, the city lord is also happy to be idle, and rarely appears in front of people, even large gatherings and important meetings will be attended.
Pingtou frowned, how can it sound like this city lord is like a puppet? I'm afraid this is not happy, looking at Situ Lei's appearance, it seems that he has all the things in his hands, could it be that he has some ulterior secrets? And the entire mansion is basically divided into the front yard and the back yard, and all the women living in the back yard are female dependents, and basically there are never guests, and the front yard is divided into the east wing and the west wing.
The west wing is almost all warehouses, while the east wing is where Pingtou lives, which is basically the guest room and the place where guests meet.
Sure enough, it is a quaint and quite elegant mansion, you can see from the map, the left and right are completely symmetrical, and according to the gold, wood, water, fire and earth are very carefully divided, it is a mansion where the five elements are mutually reinforcing.
Pingtou touched his chin, it seemed that the person who built this mansion was actually a master of the five elements, but he always felt that there was something wrong with this map.
"Then can you tell me, what you said, where is the lost piece of jade stored?" Logically speaking, such a valuable thing should be placed in a very secret and heavily guarded place, how could it be lost inexplicably? Douzi sighed softly: "There is a place called the Treasure Pavilion between the west wing and the backyard, and the things that Brother Cangbao placed are definitely priceless things, and the jade is also placed on the Treasure Pavilion...... The Treasure Pavilion is full of organs, and only the city lord can unlock these mechanisms, so even if our own people in the mansion want to enter the Treasure Pavilion to steal things, it is not an easy thing to do, and the vicinity of the Treasure Pavilion is indeed heavily guarded,...... "Unless you are particularly strong in light skills, you can go directly through the entrance of the third floor, so that you will not alarm all the guards."
Pingtou touched his chin, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "In this way, you take me to the Treasure Pavilion to see, after all, it is the scene of the crime, and you can only know the original appearance of the matter by taking a look at it in person." ”

The flat-headed sympathetic master was already old, and he couldn't stand the fatigue, so he arranged for the master to rest in the room, and he followed Douzi to the treasure pavilion in the west wing.
Before leaving, Wang Yifeng also patted Pingtou's shoulder and told him to be careful, this place is not only a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but also many people have ill intentions.
He is an outsider who comes in and is afraid that he will become the fourth nail in the eyes of other people, flat head nodded, he naturally understands this section.
In his opinion, the real thief was hidden in a corner of the mansion, watching their actions coldly, and the appearance of Pingtou really surprised him, Pingtou was definitely a very big threat to him.
"If that thief personally wants to eradicate my WeChat, it will be unbelievable, it will be directly exposed in front of my eyes, and I don't even need to check it, don't worry, the master has a good rest, I will be back in a while!"
After coming to the Treasure Pavilion, Pingtou found that this was indeed a gorgeous three-story building, which had the meaning of the word Treasure at the beginning of construction, looking at the plaque, hanging high above the three floors, Pingtou frowned tightly.
"You mean to say that in fact, the things placed on the first and second floors are not valuable, and the really valuable things are placed on the third floor?" Douzi nodded: "Actually, that jade is indeed the treasure of the earthquake here, although my generation has never seen it, but I have heard a lot of rumors, it is said that that jade is called the soul of breaking the sky, its power is huge, it is said that without this stone, the city lord cannot be so free!"
Then came the weirdest thing, it was said that the Soul of the Sky Breaker had been locked in a large iron box on the third floor, which was made of elite cold iron.
Without a key, you can't open the lock on it, and there is a seal on it, so the defense can be regarded as very tight.
What everyone didn't expect was that this iron box was not hurt in the slightest, and even the seal was honestly pasted on it, and there was no trace of being taken down, but the things inside were unjustly flying, which made everyone feel frightened.
Oh?," Pingtou frowned tightly, it seemed that this matter was more complicated than he had imagined, and then he had a bad idea in his heart.
"Hey, Douzi, since no one knows except the city lord, the location where the Soul of the Broken Sky is stored proves that it is still unknown whether he is in the Treasure Pavilion, maybe this was a lie from the beginning?"
It's scary to think about this kind of thing, but this kind of speculation can perfectly explain why the treasure would be lost without breaking the seals of the chest.
Douzi covered his mouth in surprise: "Oh, these things are not easy to talk about, after all, there is no evidence, and to be honest, there are many people in this place who covet that piece of broken soul......" Pingtou nodded, since there is no evidence, then go up and find it, and in the case of eliminating all impossibilities, then his speculation can be completely established.
At this time, Pingtou felt that he had fallen into a trap, maybe it was his arrival that gave the murderer a chance? Pingtou walked into the treasure pavilion, but was dragged by Douzi, I said Uncle, can you be careful, I have already said that there are all kinds of organs here, and ordinary people will definitely be crushed if they go in! At this time, Pingtou can vaguely see a little terrifying look on Douzi's face, it seems that someone has stolen here before, but the precedent of accidentally hitting the trap and dying made this kid so frightened.
He reached out and patted Douzi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, you will definitely have no problem following me." ”
They haven't known each other for a long time, and of course Douzi won't believe Pingtou, how do you know that he will definitely have a way to solve those mechanisms inside.
"That's the case, Brother Pingtou, you can go in first, I'll wait for you outside, as long as you come out and let me search your body to show that you didn't come out with anything else, I won't go in......" This is not just cowardice, but also very cowardice, seeing the other party's panicked look, Pingtou also sighed softly and it is not difficult.
"Okay, then I'll go in alone, don't worry, I won't steal anything out, I'm not the kind of person you think. ”
In this way, Pingtou stepped into the door of the Treasure Pavilion alone, according to Douzi, the mechanisms on the first and second floors are quite simple, and anyone with some kung fu can dodge them, but when it comes to the third layer, things are not so simple.
Sure enough, it was easy for him to untie the mechanisms on the first and second floors and come to the middle staircase.
Only then did he realize that there was a large space between the second and third floors, and there was nothing in this space, but it was necessary to pass through to reach the third floor directly from the stairs, which meant that this mysterious space may be the place of the legendary mechanism.
Facing this space, Pingtou licked his dry lips, although he said that he didn't care, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of danger he was in front of.
Tentatively took the first step, Pingtou felt that he should touch the machine of a certain mechanism, and then his feet were light, and the floor was shattered layer by layer! Under the broken floor was a pitch black, it seemed that it should be a deadly killing mechanism, Pingtou moved in his heart, he must not fall, otherwise it would be the end of the broken bones, so thinking about Pingtou jumped up, but found that there was nothing to grasp on the top of the entire space, and he couldn't hold on to it for long, and then fell down again.
After stepping on another piece of floor, the floor shattered again, and then the flat head rose up again, and so on and so on, and the flat head probably triggered the Liu block of the floor, and then fell flat to the opposite bank.
Pingtou breathed a sigh of relief slightly, this place is indeed full of dangers, if it weren't for his good skills and light skills, he wouldn't have been able to avoid these organs at all.
At the moment when the flat head landed, the floor that had broken before could be squeezed, and the general return to its original state, as if the dangerous scene just now had never happened, and finally returned to calm.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that there are not many people in this mansion who can enter the third floor without being noticed, and the scope is already very small.
Pingtou sighed softly, there was a staircase leading to the third floor in front of him, and he suspected that this staircase should not be so simple.
At this time, the dragon head found that this staircase, a total of ninety-nine eighty-one steps, and each step has a symbol drawn, these symbols are not easy to interpret, as if they are painted casually, there is no law at all.
Pingtou frowned tightly, took out a flying locust stone from his bosom, and threw it out, and the flying locust stone fell to the sixteenth step.
Flathead threw the Crimson Locust Stone out and landed on the sixteenth step in front of him.
After waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement, and he was not at ease, so he threw a few more pieces out and fell to several other places on the steps, and found that there was no movement.
The flat head hung with the heart finally let go, and walked towards the stairs.
