Chapter 149: Secret

I chatted with Su Lao for a while, and briefly understood the changes in the Wang family in the past three years. Since the death www.biquge.info of her aunt, her son and grandson have moved to live in the city, and she originally wanted to exchange this royal mansion for Wang Zhen to deal with, but he was not interested, so the Wang family compound was abandoned.

I stood up and looked at the three old buildings in the night, wondering if the so-called artifact was hidden somewhere in it.

Slowly walked to the middle doorway, through the moonlight can barely see the wooden staircase leading to the upper floor, and the wooden doors on both sides of the wall are also half-hidden, I don't know if there is any tatters left inside.

Wangchen followed behind and whispered: "There should still be a lamp, but I don't know if there is electricity, I'll look for it." ”

"No, if the lights are on, it's not good to be discovered by others." As I fumbled, I walked into the room on the right, empty all around, seemingly leaving nothing but some rags on the floor. There were no windows on this floor, so it was very dark, so I had no choice but to take the forgotten dust down the stairs to the second floor.

There was still some old furniture left in my aunt's room, the large wooden bed was probably left because it was difficult to move, and the table next to it was covered with dust, shining a little white in the moonlight that shone through the window.

I guess no one has been here for a long time, so I looked around, and I didn't know what the artifact looked like, so I was afraid I wouldn't recognize it in front of my eyes.

"Xiaowei~~" Forget Chen seemed to have found something and called me softly.

"What's wrong?" I walked over to him.

He handed two objects into my arms: "I didn't expect these to be left, it seems to be of some use." ”

I looked down at what I was holding, and it turned out to be two white candles, which I had just turned out in the drawer under the table.

They should have been placed here by my aunt before her death, and the old man could still help me after being gone for so long, it's a pity that I didn't send her, and I'm a good grandmother~~

After a moment's sigh, Wangchen and I lit a white candle and carefully searched every room.

But I found nothing but the old furniture that I couldn't take away, and I was a little discouraged, and stood by the stairs on the first floor, looking at the remaining half of the candle in my hand.

Where the hell will it be?

"What are you looking for?" Forget Chen followed me around the small building for a long time, and it was normal for him to be curious.

"The point is that I don't know what I'm looking for... Anyway, it must be a very special thing. ”

"Then I don't think there will be anything in the room, you see that everything here is almost empty, if there is anything, it must be in a place that ordinary people can't see." Forget the dust pushed the glasses and helped me analyze them seriously.

I seem to see Conan's shadow in him again, is this guy really a painter? Are you sure it's not a detective?

After he finished speaking, he held the candle in his hand and tapped lightly on the wooden walls one after another, and the sound of wood was all wood. Seeing his efforts to help me, I was embarrassed to stand and watch, so I also followed his example.

I also ducked down the wooden staircase and stomped the plank with my foot, and the sound of the air was a little different from what it was elsewhere.

"There's a problem here!" I called for Forgotten Dust to come with me to inspect it.

The two men lay on the ground and studied for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the floor might be empty underneath.

Wangchen found a rusty shovel from the yard, I helped him light it, and the two of them began to pry open the planks one by one.

When the first board was removed, I saw a piece of wood made of jet-black oil, it was very complete, and there were five planks in a row, all of which were this thing, without gaps or edges.

I reached out and touched it, a little sticky and a little slippery.

"What is this?" I took the candle closer and looked closer.

"Little girl, don't move!!" Old's exclamation startled me, and I quickly withdrew away from the plank.

"What's wrong with Xiaowei?" Forget Dust was also frightened by my startled behavior and hid back.

"I'll explain to you later, I'll ask Su Lao first to see if he understands this thing."

Standing behind me, he looked at the black wooden plank with a puzzled face, twisting his beard and shaking his head: "It's really strange, how can I have been trapped in the royal mansion for so long and never found that there is such a mysterious existence under the mansion. ”

"You think there's something down here?"

"Yes, little girl, do you know what is smeared on this black wood?"

"I don't know."

Su Lao walked up and down near the stairs and said, "Little girl, if your candle flame falls on that wood, it will cause great trouble, and the paint on this black wood is made of fireproof and waterproof technology. It does not seep into water, expands when it encounters fire, and can instantly block the treasures buried deep underground from being destroyed, which is also a common means of sealing tombs used by the ancients hundreds of years ago. ”

"You mean there's an ancient tomb down here?" My eyes widened in disbelief.

"Definitely... DefinitelyΒ·Β· If this royal mansion was built on top of the tomb, it must have been extremely yin and not suitable for family living at all, and I think there may be something hidden under it. ”

It seems that the artifact that the sheriff said should be down here, and he glanced at Forget Chen, who was still waiting for me to explain, and told him what Su Lao told me just now.

There's no way, Forget Chen doesn't have the eyes of yin and yang, I can only be this messenger.

He squatted beside the black wood and dipped his hand in some of the liquid on it, sniffed it, and said, "This may be a kind of vermiculite, mixed with waterproof gel and applied to the surface, it is really rare to be able to do it more than a hundred years ago." ”

"You know a lot." I couldn't help but sigh when I looked at my stubble-covered cheeks and the wise eyes hidden under the black frames.

"I have been traveling south and north for many years, and I will naturally understand some things after experiencing more, but I am still far from Xiaowei, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you." Forget the dust and answer me modestly.

"Okay~~ Although you are five or six years older than me, but the master is the first, I will reluctantly accept your little apprentice~~" patted Wangchen's shoulder, and I put on a serious and unsmiling expression of the master.

Amused him, but acquiesced to my request.

Forget the dust slowly destroys the black wood with a shovel, gradually revealing the hollow underneath.

This hole is about one meter square, and a person can easily jump down, but who dares to go down when it is bottomless.

I'll look at Forget the Dust and look at the old man.

Still have to be righteous, floated to the front, and looked down: "Little girl, I'll go, you are all mortals and it's not easy to escape when you encounter danger, I'm a ghost, it's a big deal to float out." ”

"Thank you, Beard." I just wanted to raise my hand to touch him, but suddenly I thought of my ghost binding, and quickly retracted.

Su Lao lifted his robe, raised one foot and just touched the entrance of the black hole, when suddenly a bright light appeared, and the stone wall in the cave faintly flashed with strange symbols.

Su Lao: "Ah! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”" was ejected far away, and fell to the ground and raised a cloud of white mist.

I blindfolded my eyes for a long time and didn't slow down my gaze, anxiously looking for the location where Su Lao fell.

"Su Lao, Xu Lao, are you okay??"

"The old man died... Fell to death the old man..." I opened my fingers to see him lying against the wall, gasping for air, his white beard puffing out from the air waves.

I thought to myself: I was already dead, how could I still fall to my death. It didn't seem to be particularly badly injured, so I was relieved
