Chapter 117: Book Coffin Lock

"With so many books, in which book will the location of the treasure be written?"

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Liu Xing flipped through the "Secret Archives of Important Chinese Figures" one after another.

There are 188 volumes in total, each of which is about 600 pages, and it would take about a year to read them all.

It is impossible for Liu Xing to read through these books now, so he can only flip through them casually.

In fact, this set of books mainly records the archival information of some important people in Huaxia, and it is completely impossible to see that it has anything to do with the treasures of the Jin family. Even if you read all the books, you may not be able to discover where the treasure is buried.

The information about the Jin family's treasure comes from Jin Abiao's mother, after all, she is only the secretary of Jin Santong, and she is not the closest person to Jin Santong, and her news may not be completely accurate.

Therefore, Liu Xing was only half-convinced of the Jin family's treasure.

This set of "Secret Archives of Important Chinese Figures" happened to be in his hands, so he looked for it by the way.

After quickly flipping through all 188 volumes, I gained very little.

The only thing I found was that the covers of these books had some golden patterns, in the shape of gold ingots, and they seemed to be arranged according to a certain pattern.

"There won't be a problem with these gold ingots, right?"

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately took the 188 books off the shelf, and then placed them on the ground one by one, like playing a jigsaw puzzle, putting the 188 books together in a certain order, and the cover patterns of all the books were combined into a giant pattern.

The giant pattern is about 4.2 meters long and 2 meters wide, and it seems to have a certain pattern, with gold ingots arranged in a specific formation.

It's a pity that Liu Xing observed for a while, but he didn't see anything famous.

After observing for more than ten minutes, he still found nothing, so he had to give up. Just as he was about to put away the 188 books and put them back on the golden shelves, he made an unexpected discovery.

"What is this?"

At the bottom of the golden bookshelf, there was a narrow slit, which looked like a keyhole, only the size of a thumb.

There were 188 books on the shelves, and this gap was covered. If Liu Xing hadn't moved 188 books to the ground, he wouldn't have found a small gap at the bottom of the bookshelf.

Stepping forward, Liu Xing fixed his eyes and saw that the gap was rectangular, about 3 centimeters long and 0.5 centimeters wide.

Liu Xing took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the gap, but as soon as the key was inserted, it was popped out.

He changed another key and inserted it again, and the result was still the same.

This gap seems to be able to only insert keys of a specific structure, and ordinary keys will be automatically ejected when inserted.

"This is clearly a book coffin lock!"

Liu Xing's heart moved.

The so-called coffin lock is a special lock for the coffin.

In order to prevent theft, a coffin lock with precision is required. Hundreds of years ago, the book coffin craftsmen of Huaxia invented extremely complex book coffin locks, which are a sophisticated mechanical system integrated into the book coffin.

Due to its complex process, some of the techniques of book coffin locks have long been lost.

However, Liu Xing has a certain understanding of book coffin locks.

He once fell in love with the novel "Notes on the Book Tomb", and the protagonist of this novel is a coffin maker who is proficient in designing book coffin locks. The memories of this coffin master have now been transplanted into Liu Xing's mind.

Therefore, Liu Xing could see at a glance that there was a coffin lock installed inside the golden bookshelf in front of him!

Each coffin lock has a unique coffin key, and it cannot be opened without a key.

"Where's the key to this coffin?"

Since this bookshelf is equipped with a coffin lock, it can be seen that there should be something important hidden inside the bookshelf, and it is even related to the treasure of the Jin family.

The information of the Jin family's treasure may not be in the book "The Secret Archives of Important Chinese People", but on the bookshelf of this set of books!

This bookshelf is made of a special alloy, and it is impossible to cut it with ordinary tools. If you want to open the bookshelf, the best thing to do is to find the coffin key.

In ancient China, in order to better preserve the key to the coffin, the coffin master often made the coffin key into jewelry, such as jade pendants, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc., to facilitate carrying.

Therefore, the coffin key of this bookshelf may also be a piece of jewelry.

This underground library belongs to Jin Santong, and the key to the coffin is likely to be in the hands of Jin Santong's descendants.

Among them, there are two people who are most likely to have this key, one is Jin Tianbao, the son of Jin Santong, and the other is Jin Yuxin, the granddaughter of Jin Santong.

Yuxin is now living in the Meteor Book Bar, and Liu Xing suddenly has an idea in his heart.

"Look for it. ”

Liu Xing immediately left the underground bookstore, returned to the room on the second floor of the bookstore, and changed into a black night suit, ready to go to Yuxin's room to look it up.

After changing his clothes, Liu Xing broke out of the window and landed on a tree outside the window.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and the novel street was deserted, and when I looked up at Yuxin's room, I found that there was still a white light shining out of the window, and she didn't seem to be resting.

The body swept out like a black arrow, Liu Xing flew to the window, glanced into the room, and saw Yuxin sitting in front of the laptop, wearing loose white pajamas, slender fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard, looking for information about the Jin family on the Internet.

"It's four o'clock in the morning and she still hasn't slept, this woman is really bad at work. ”

In another hour, the sky was about to dawn, Liu Xing couldn't wait any longer, and decided to act immediately, using the tendon and bone reduction method of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and with a snort, he jumped directly into the room from the window.

Sou!

As soon as he landed, turning into a black lightning, Liu Xing galloped forward.

His movements were extremely light, and he didn't make the slightest sound, but his running speed was too fast, and the air inevitably fluctuated slightly, and Yuxin's thin eyebrows moved slightly, sensing that there seemed to be something abnormal in the room.

When she was about to turn her head to check, Liu Xing had already passed behind her, and with a little finger, a feeling of dizziness hit, and Yuxin immediately fell unconscious, and her delicate body fell directly behind her.

Liu Xing's eyes were quick, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, he hugged her body.

After hugging Yuxin, Liu Xing grabbed her little hand again, looked at it, and saw that she was wearing a white bracelet on her white wrist.

The key to the coffin may have been a piece of jewelry, which may have been worn on Yuxin's body.

Looking at the bracelet carefully, Liu Xing shook his head, his eyes fell on Yuxin's ears again, and a pair of silver flower-shaped earrings appeared in the field of vision.

Unfortunately, it's still not the coffin key.

Liu Xing gently pulled the collar of Yuxin's pajamas, revealing a snow-white neck, wearing a thin crystal necklace at the neck position. The pendant of the necklace is too small to be a coffin key at all.

In this way, Liu Xing searched for Yuxin repeatedly, from the head to the hands, and from the hands to the feet, but unfortunately, he still did not find the jewelry like a key.

"Isn't the key on Yuxin?"

Putting the unconscious Yuxin on the chair, Liu Xing walked lightly to the dresser in the room and looked up Yuxin's other jewelry. She doesn't have a lot of jewelry, only seven or eight, and they're all ordinary jewelry, not keys.

After searching in front of the dresser to no avail, Liu Xing came up with the idea of a black lockbox placed under the bed. This lockbox was brought by Yuxin, and it should contain her most precious things!

This is a fingerprint lockbox, Liu Xing tried it with his fingerprint, but he couldn't open it, so he tried it with Yuxin's fingerprint, and the box was finally opened.

"So little stuff?"

The moment he opened the box, Liu Xing was a little surprised, there were only four things in the huge lockbox: a family photo of the Lu family, a family photo of the Jin family, a bank card and a pink purse.

The first three items could not be the key, so Liu Xing picked up the pink purse and opened it to take a look, only to see that it contained a few crushed tulip petals.

"Isn't this the petal I crushed in Baihua Mountain?"

Liu Xing was a little speechless, he thought that there was something good hidden in his purse, but he didn't expect it to be a few tulip petals.

"Huh, what?"

pinched the bottom of the purse with his hand, and Liu Xing touched a hard object!

When I took out the petals, I saw that there was still a white jade pendant in the purse!

The jade pendant is heart-shaped, peach-sized, complex in structure, and engraved with strange patterns on the surface, and the whole jade pendant is crystal clear, and under the illumination of the light, it is slightly glowing with a snow-white luster.

Taking out the white jade pendant, Liu Xing carefully observed it, and after a while, his face showed joy.

His intuition told him that this jade pendant was most likely the key to the coffin lock!

"Take it and try it!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xing took the jade pendant, his figure flashed, and he left the room in a hurry......

……

Two minutes later, Liu Xing returned to the underground library on the second floor of the book bar.

Walking to an empty golden bookshelf, Liu Xing found the gap at the bottom of the bookshelf, and then inserted the white jade pendant into the gap.

Bite!

After the jade pendant was inserted, it didn't pop out again, and fell directly into it, just like throwing game currency, and a metal crisp sound could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of mechanical twisting came from the inside of the bookshelf, and the rumbling sound was endless, as if a mixer was installed in the shelf, and the whole bookshelf trembled slightly.

Liu Xing was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that the jade pendant had triggered the mechanical system of the coffin lock and was in the process of opening......

Zheng!

At this moment, the gap at the bottom of the golden bookshelf suddenly widened, and it opened little by little to both sides like a small door, and a hidden compartment hidden inside the bookshelf appeared in front of him......

ps: Since my update is too fast, it's almost 400,000 words, and the editor just talked to me and asked me to put it on the shelves in advance, which he means will be on the shelves next week.

However, I said before that this book will be on the shelves in June, and if it is suddenly released in advance, it seems to affect the character and discipline a little. >_
