Chapter 179: The Ancient Mansion Secret Room
Yuno said: "The backyard is actually not the territory of the Xi family, it is the original house, and we have expanded it." Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
She walked to the window, "You can see it from here." ā
Lu Qingchen looked at the huge pitch-black house and said, "It must be about a kilometer away from here." ā
Yuno said: "In my image, it was an eerie and scary place, it was a nightmare of my childhood. She remembered the big bell that almost knocked her to the ground, and she said, "IāI just don't like the bell there." ā
"What's so scary about hanging bells?"
"I ......"
"There's not much time, so I'll take a look."
Yuno said: "You should be more careful. ā
Lu Qingchen smiled: "Heh, when did you start caring about people?" ā
Yuno was unconvinced: "Then you want me to keep scolding you to feel at ease?" ā
Lu Qingchen thought for a while, "It's not like that, I just think you're suddenly so ....... Gentle, some don't quite look like you anymore. He suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek, pulling out a long length. Yuno said, "What do you do?" ā
Lu Qingchen said: "I want to see if there is a night under this layer of skin, it can't be a ghost disguise." ā
"Ahh Yuno angrily split his hand, "Ignore you like this again!" ā
She may not have noticed the loneliness in Lu Qingchen's eyes at that moment. Why did he look like this, even he didn't understand. The blood rain was pouring down, Lu Qingchen put on thick clothes, and then took a wooden board as a shield. Yuno muttered, "You don't bring any weapons, you only use a flashlight to send you to death." ā
Lu Qingchen said: "Because I'm very weak, instead of clashing head-on with those things, it's better to run away, and the chances of survival are greater." ā
"Hey, you're self-aware." Although he was right, Yuno always felt a little angry. She always felt that everything should be faced with dignity, instead of Lu Qingchen taking steps like this, it was too troublesome. "Don't look at me like that, everyone has their own way of living, if you are a warrior, then I am still used to being a hermit."
"What if we have to?"
"The hermit can only pick up a sword, because the world is sinister, so even the Bodhisattva carries a knife."
Lu Qingchen went out, and the blood rain corroded the wooden plank, emitting hissing cold smoke.
He saw that there were no monsters around, but just because he didn't see it didn't mean that there were no monsters, maybe in the next second, a terrifying beast would come out of the darkness and tear him to pieces! Thinking of this, Lu Qingchen's footsteps became faster again. He must have run about 500 meters away, but unfortunately he was out of breath as soon as he ran, and it was so difficult to even walk quickly. Some distance away, he could see a flash of fire beneath Nazaki Village, which was where the tower was! Just think about it, it was the rain of blood that corroded the tower, and the entire village was without power.
Lu Qingchen ran while panting and finally came to this mansion.
He turned and closed the door, but his hands were covered with dust, and it seemed that it had been a long time. The roof of the house is all tiled, but in some places it is broken, and the blood rain directly corrodes the ceiling and drips to the ground. "Thorn, stab" sounded, it was the sound of blood dripping on the stone bricks. "Is it a stone brick? It's really rare. Lu Qingchen shone the flashlight everywhere and found that there were light bulbs on the top of the bright and empty lobby.
Even though it was an old-fashioned light bulb, he searched along the wall and found a switch, but when he pressed it, there was no response.
may have been in disrepair for a long time, Lu Qingchen turned on the switch, turned on the light manually, and the filament flickered a few times, and finally it turned on. The whole compound looks a lot empty, it has been uninhabited for a long time, but the furniture and the like are well placed. The Xi family is a family that pays attention to tradition and respects bloodline, so even if it has been abandoned for many years, it still retains the scene arranged by its ancestors.
The mansion is so big, there are ancient tables and chairs in the middle, and next to it are calligraphy, paintings, and vases, and the flowers and plants in the vases have long since withered, and there are no slags left, and the water has dried up. In the center of the lobby is a hanging bell of a strange style, which is not hoisted, but it is carefully placed here, as if it were the most sacred relic.
Is this big bell what Yuno is afraid of?
It doesn't look like anything special, Lu Qingchen reached out and touched it, it was a very quaint wood. Its shell is carved rosewood, and the inside is all metal, this kind of hanging bell is a foreign thing, which was originally introduced from European countries after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. This hanging bell is extremely precious, can the Xi family buy such a thing? They have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they really can't think of how much money they can have. It may be that the ancestors of the Xi family left a lot of antiques, because they lived a long life, so they preserved more antique jewelry, and it is indeed a lot of income to resell it in the next era. Lu Qingchen was still thinking about looking for ancient books, he thought: It was hidden by Wenshan at the beginning, he knew better where his naughty little sister who was not afraid of death would hide?
Lu Qingchen looked at the big bell again.
Since Yuno is afraid of the big bell, Wenshan may hide the ancient books in the big bell. Lu Qingchen looked left and right, opened the pendulum, and found no place where he could. The pendulum was too old, and there were some places where he couldn't break it, and he was too embarrassed to break the things of the Xi family, so he found the switch behind the hanging clock.
These old-fashioned hanging clocks were originally battery-driven, but they can also be clockwork-driven. As soon as the flashlight shone, the time stood still at 11:55, and it was 12:00 five minutes after he wound up, and then the pendulum would swing, and although it would ring for a while, the parasites should also look for shelter on such a rainy night, and they would never come to find a sound. However, the wolf-infected, who are more scary, but compared to the parasite, the non-intelligent wolf-infected, are easy to deal with.
Lu Qingchen took advantage of the five-minute interval to observe the surroundings.
"It's really shabby in here, ahem." Lu Qingchen fanned the bookshelf, and a lot of dust suddenly drifted through. He looked at the titles on the shelves, and they were all very strange books: "The Great Chronicle of Medicine", "Human Anatomy", "Principles of Bone Medicine-1932", "Theory of Parallel Space", "Four-Dimensional Bugs", "Crime and Punishment", a large number of medical books, a few philosophical books, and one or two books related to physics and space. But none of them were ancient books that introduced ghosts, and Lu Qingchen moved away from the bookshelf with the question of whether any books had fallen behind the shelves.
He was stunned, "W-This?" ā
At the entrance to a secret room, there are three switches of different shapes on the wall, corresponding to three mysterious runes, and it seems that three different keys are required to open.
Among them, there is a notch that Lu Qingchen is particularly familiar with, and he gently tapped his head with a flashlight, "Come to think of it, come to think of it, by the way, it's a necklace." Lu Qingchen felt out of his pants pocket. I remember when they strayed into the zenith of another world, and then were attacked by pig-headed people at the Ah Ping Hotel. At that time, Lu Qingchen sneaked underground to save the ancient jade, and found a dying person, who entrusted the necklace to Lu Qingchen, and Lu Qingchen didn't have time to take a closer look.
At this time, he took out the necklace and found that it was a crescent-shaped necklace, with a curved middle, long pointed ends, and a length of about two inches. And the notch was very consistent with the wall, and Lu Qingchen tentatively inserted it into the hole. (To be continued.) )
