Chapter 54

"Zuo idiot, this has torches, give you one."

Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing carefully pushed open the unlocked door of the warehouse, and found that there were torch racks in the aisle inside, and there were two torches every one and a half zhang distance.

But the strange thing is that the torches are all set on the side wall where Chu Jing is, and the torches that enter the eye are all burning, presumably behind it.

Chu Jing took down two burning torches from the shelf, the torches were very small, smaller than the torches used by ordinary people, Chu Jing took the torches and looked at them for a while, then divided one to Zuo Idiot, and the two continued to move forward.

After this walk, the two found that the warehouse built by the Song Mansion to store fine wine actually had a corridor at the entrance.

It seems that the corridor paved with small stone bricks is not narrow, allowing three people to walk side by side, Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing for the sake of caution, each walked on the side of the aisle against the wall, keeping a distance between people, and walked extremely cautiously.

The deeper they went, the temperature seemed to have dropped, and Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing both felt a trace of coldness, but it didn't make people feel damp, and the two glanced at each other, both of them looking puzzled and heavy.

It seems that this corridor is laid for such a long distance, in addition to insulating the outside temperature, the torches in this corridor are not only used for lighting, but also can drive away the moisture in the corridor, so that it is not as cold as expected.

It's kind of interesting!

Even an old Jianghu like Chu Jing has never seen such a corridor layout, and he can't help but be even more curious, what is hidden in this warehouse?

Suddenly, the two of them saw a wide line of sight, and finally walked out of this long corridor, and they couldn't help but exhale quietly.

Even though nothing happened when I walked down that corridor, it was still uncomfortable to be in a long and narrow space for a long time.

The two of them looked around in general, and the most impressive thing was what they had always cared about, that in the entire room, there were only three jars of osmanthus brew.

"Uncle Jing, don't you think it's strange?" Zuo Idiot suddenly asked out loud.

Chu Jing thought that Zuo Zhi meant that it was strange that there were only three jars of osmanthus brewed in the warehouse, so he nodded and said:

"That's right, I also think that this warehouse is said to be used to store fine wine, but there are only three jars of osmanthus brewed in front of us, which is really strange."

Zuo Idiot turned his head and glanced at Chu Jing and said:

"Uncle Jing, that's not what I said, from the time we came in to the present, don't you think that this warehouse is ...... Doesn't it look big at all? ”

"What did you say?" Chu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what Zuo Idiot said, and immediately glanced around.

The more he looked at it, the heavier Chu Jing's face became, and Chu Jing observed carefully for a while before he said to Zuo Idiot:

"If that's the case, isn't it because my men got the wrong news?"

While speaking, Chu Jing felt that his subordinates had been following him for a long time, and such a mistake would not be made, suddenly, Chu Jing thought of something, and immediately looked at Zuo Idiot's eyes slightly open:

"Do you mean ......?"

Zuo Idiot nodded, his eyes sank, and said:

"There's a secret room."

That's right, Chu Jing looked at Zuo Idiot, and recalled in his mind that he had told Zuo Idiot that his subordinates had infiltrated the Song Mansion to investigate secretly.

He did say that in order to facilitate the storage of fine wines, Song Yuqiu specially mobilized a large number of people from many places to build warehouses.

So, how could a warehouse built like this be only the size they saw in front of them?

Therefore, Song Yuqiu must have built a secret room.

Zuo Idiot felt that something was wrong since he entered here, this warehouse was boxy, and he could see it completely at a glance, how could it be that Chu Jing had told him before, Song Yuqiu had built a very large warehouse?

Thinking so, the two of them immediately stepped aside, holding torches to carefully illuminate every inch of the wall, looking for something out of the ordinary.

"Dangdangdang...... Dangdang ......"

"Dangdang ......"

Everywhere they were, there was a soft tapping sound from time to time, and there was a faint echo in this warehouse, where there was no one else and there was a long corridor.

Chu Jing carefully searched around half of the wall of the room, but found nothing.

This Qimen Dunjia technique is not what he Chu Jing is good at, so Chu Jing walked to Zuo Idiot's side, holding his torch, and illuminated the place next to Zuo Idiot more brightly, so that Zuo Idiot could find the location of the mechanism.

When he was behind the rockery just now, Chu Jing could feel that Zuo Idiot could find the entrance to the warehouse in such a short time, so Zuo Idiot must also have a certain understanding of this kind of mechanism setting.

Sure enough, with the help of Chu Jing, Zuo Idiot significantly accelerated the speed of exploration, and the way he observed the wall was different from Chu Jing.

Suddenly, Zuo Idiot found that the wall he was tapping on at this time made a different sound, and this difference could even be heard by Chu Jing, who was standing on the side.

"This is it?"

Chu Jing took a step forward, gently stroked the wall that Zuo Yi had knocked on just now, and asked.

"You can't be wrong, there must be another room behind this wall."

As he spoke, Zuo Idiot turned his head around and looked at every part of the room, not even letting go of a corner.

Zuo's eyes lit up when he saw the candlestick on a shelf not far away.

"Uncle Jing, look at the candlestick on the shelf over there, the place where the mechanism is triggered must be there."

When Chu Jing heard this, he looked at the place where Zuo Idiot said, and saw that there was indeed an unlit candlestick, but he couldn't see the mystery inside, and he didn't understand what was so special about this candlestick, so he turned his head back and looked at Zuo Idiot.

"Uncle Jing, you come with me."

Zuo Idiot said and led Chu Jing to stand in front of the candlestick on the shelf, and then explained to Chu Jing:

"Uncle Jing, you see, there are some sundries, porcelain and books on this shelf, plus this candlestick, all of which are covered with dust, obviously no one has touched them for a long time."

"Then why ......?" Chu Jing couldn't help but say suspiciously.

"Uncle Jing, look." Zuo Idiot raised his hand and gathered the torches in front of the candlestick, and said to Chu Jing:

"Although this candlestick seems to be full of dust, there is a place, which is the place where the edge of the base of this candlestick is leaning, and it should be the same as the base of the candlestick, covered with dust, but here it is ......."

"It's smooth." Chu Jing took a closer look, and sure enough, he found that it was just as Zuo Idiot said, and he immediately understood.

"That's right, it must have been because people held it around and turned it around from time to time to make it what it is now." Zuo Idiot nodded, and reached for the bottom of the candlestick.

I saw that the wall they had just found made a "buzzing" sound and slowly began to turn.

Seeing the wall turning, a secret door appeared, his face was happy, he looked at Chu Jing and said:

"Uncle Jing, let's go in and have a look."

Chu Jing nodded.

"Not good!"

As soon as he released his hand from the bottom of the candlestick, he felt something bad for a while.

Chu Jing was startled and was about to ask, but when he saw that the secret door that was still open just now was several times faster than the secret door opened, it was closed as before in an instant!

"This ...... What's going on? ”
