Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret of the Stone Chamber

Li Chu met her scarlet eyes, and her heart couldn't help but hurt, and she slowly got up and wanted to reach out to help her to the end, and then drooped down, "I can feel the pain after you know all this, I would rather you never know, but when things come to this point, if I don't stop you, I'm afraid that you will be paranoid step by step towards the abyss of hell, and you won't be able to turn back."

Eyebrows trembled, Feng Jiu turned his head sideways and couldn't bear to look at the emaciated face in front of him, it was hard to imagine the pain he was suffering, and it was difficult to admit his stupidity, after getting along for so many days, what she should have noticed was that she herself refused to ......

"Feng Jiu, you believe me, leave these things to me, and I will protect you." Before Li Chu's footsteps were raised, he saw Feng Jiu retreating again and again as if he had seen a fierce beast.

Feng Jiu bit his lip, and the thousands of thoughts in his chest were firmly stirred together, and he couldn't say half a word when he opened his mouth, and there was nothing else but guilt and self-blame.

"Please, let me think about it alone."

Seeing that she turned around and ran out of the room in a hurry, Li Chu didn't chase her out, turned around lightly and returned to the desk, picked up the letter paper that Feng Jiu had dropped, and threw it into the brazier on the side.

Just as he was putting the phoenix hairpin back into the wooden box, Uncle Chen suddenly came in rubbing his hands, glanced at the table and the brazier and said, "Originally, the weather has become warmer, but I didn't expect it to be cold again today, is the brazier enough?" Do I need to move another one? ”

"It's really a little cold, so I'm tired of Uncle Chen." Li Chu picked up the wooden box, got up and walked to the back room, realizing that Uncle Chen was still standing in place, so he turned around and asked, "Uncle Chen, is there something?" ”

Uncle Chen sneered, a little embarrassed and said: "I have a nephew in Jiangdu, the only child of my late sister, I heard that he is going to get married in the next few days, so I want to go and see him." ”

"Oh, then, I'll let Zhu Zi send you back to Jiangdu." When Li Chu wanted to turn around and didn't look back, he saw Uncle Chen shaking his head again and again, "No need, no need, I didn't help Gongzi by staying in the mansion, and now I have to let Brother Zhu Zi send me back, I'm ...... I don't want to go. ”

Li Chu took two steps towards him and said earnestly: "Uncle Chen, you exist like a relative to me, and it is not peaceful outside, and besides, you are also old, I don't worry about letting you go back alone." ”

"It's okay, then I'm going to trouble Brother Zhuzi." Uncle Chen didn't have any reason to refuse, nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, young master, the first time we met after coming to the Western Capital, you asked me about covering the corpse, why didn't the young master say a word after I arrived in the mansion?" ”

After rubbing his fingertips on the uneven pattern for a while, Li Chu raised his eyes and said, "If Uncle Chen is willing to say, then I am happy, but if Uncle Chen is unwilling, I have no reason to force it." I'll know the secret of the corpse sooner or later, but it's just a matter of time. ”

Uncle Chen's always gloomy gaze suddenly flashed, he glanced carefully behind him, and said in a low voice to Lichu: "Actually, I don't know how much, I only know that after the disappearance of the corpse, your second uncle still has dealings with him, and a person named Zhu Pi is involved here." ”

"Vermilion?" Naturally, this name was not the first time he had heard it, but he still pretended to be surprised, "Who is Zhu Pi?" ”

"I heard that the disappearance of the corpse is related to this Zhu Pi, at that time there was a rumor that Zhu Pi killed the corpse with a trick and wanted to be the leader of the cannibal gang, but I haven't seen him sit in the position of the gang leader for so many years, but he was killed a few years ago."

Li Chu naturally knew what he said, and his eyes moved and he continued to ask: "This Zhu Pi has such great ability?" Even the corpse can be killed, but there are few rumors of him in this world. ”

"I also heard by accident, this Zhu Pi has a lot to do with the corpse, as for what the relationship is, I don't know." Uncle Chen twisted his beard and recalled, came back to his senses and said, "I have calculated the distance, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, so I will go and pack my things first." ”

Li Chu bowed slightly, and never figured out the relationship between the corpse and Zhu Pi, Zhu Pi's age and life history are unknown, only that there is such an unknown person in the rivers and lakes.

If it weren't for Nangong Fei asking around about his whereabouts and killing him by mistake, Li Chu probably wouldn't have noticed this person, let alone found out that this person was inextricably linked to the corpse.

Jin Yuan kicked in with the brazier, and woke up Li Chu at once, while looking for a good place to put the brazier, he said loudly: "Uncle Chen asked me to send it, he seems to be going out of the door." ”

"Well, go to Jiangdu to see his nephew." Li Chu couldn't help frowning when he looked at Jin Yuan's babbling appearance.

Every time Jin Yuan saw Li Chu's scrutinizing gaze, he felt uncomfortable, and he turned around stupidly and really wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Chu, "Close the door and follow me into the secret room." ”

Soon after choosing this place, Li Chu ordered the craftsmen of Jiangdu to build a lot of secret rooms and mechanisms, and he wanted to hide all his wealth here at first, but now it is unlikely.

Li Chu raised his head and motioned for Jin Yuan to touch the mechanism to open the door of the secret room, Jin Yuan moved a chair, stood on the chair for a while and groped for a while before touching the mechanism set on the beam, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said: "Childe, your mechanism is not convenient at all...... The craftsmen of Jiangdu are also capable of this, and they say that they are the heirs of the Mo family, who believes it? ”

"Don't be verbose, come in." Li Chu took a lamp, reached out and gently pushed open the wall in front of him where calligraphy and paintings were hung.

In front of him is a narrow and deep secret passage, the height is just about the same as Li Chu's height, after entering the dark passage, Li Chu's hand is always holding on to the wall, and his mouth is chattering, as if he is counting.

Jin Yuan, who was following behind him, didn't know that the person in front of him suddenly stopped, bumped into him unexpectedly, rubbed his forehead and took a step back.

In the dim candlelight, Li Chu's long fingers poked into the wall, Jin Yuan was startled, and rubbed his eyes to see clearly, it turned out that there was a mechanism on the wall, but it was only the size of an index finger, without any mark, even if it was a person who knew the mechanism, it was not easy to find.

"It's amazing, this secret path is really interesting, I finally got a lot of insight today." As he spoke, the wall behind him suddenly moved, and Jin Yuan turned around in a panic, only to see a large wall slowly rising by itself, but inside was an ordinary stone room.

Li Chu almost rushed into the stone room, picked up a book on the table, and frowned, but Jin Yuan only looked around, wondering in his heart, how could it be said that it was a secret room, but there was nothing but a stone table?

"What's wrong, Childe?" Jin Yuan finally sensed that something was wrong.

Li Chu handed him the book in his hand and said, "Every page in this book has the same words and sentences, and it looks exactly the same, but only I know what is different, obviously this is not the page I turned last time." ”

Jin Yuanzai looked at it carefully, his eyes were about to pop out, and he blinked and said, "What's the difference?" I don't see it. ”

"I didn't see it." As she spoke, she snatched the book from his hand and put it back in its place.

Jin Yuan saw him looking at the stone wall, and asked in confusion, "What is in this secret room?" Childe went to great lengths to build a secret room, so there must be something hidden here, right? ”

Li Chu's gaze suddenly became sly, "If you were me, where would you hide your things?" ”

"I can't imagine that if Childe is so smart, if he can guess it, wouldn't it be an insult to Childe's unparalleled resourcefulness?" Jin Yuan piled his hands on his chest and said stupidly.

"It's a pity that such a good place." Li Chu shook his head and sighed, and groped under the stone table for a while, and then reached out to grab it above his head, only to see that what he was holding in his hand was an almost transparent silk thread, if he hadn't grasped it like this, Jin Yuan would not have noticed it at all.

Immediately, the stone walls around moved up, popping up dozens of stone drawers, each stone drawer has a hole on it, obviously it needs a key to open, Jin Yuan showed a look of admiration and said: "It's amazing, you can think of this, what else is the son worried about?" I guess the person who stole the map couldn't even think of it if he wanted to break his head! ”

Li Chu shook his head, his eyes worried: "I'm still worried, after all, all the secrets are in these stone drawers, if someone cracks it, won't all all the efforts be in vain?" ”
