Chapter 768: Tracking down the national treasure
Chapter 767 Tracking the National Treasure
When running forward along the deep corridor, the aura became stronger and stronger, and the matter had come to this point, Yi Yang was undoubted, the five bronze beast heads of the zodiac were in this ancient castle, as the villain said, those treasures may have really fallen into the hands of Yoshida Yu at this moment.
This is the last thing Yi Yang wants to see, if those national treasures from China fall into the hands of Japan and himself, and are taken away and brought back to Japan and his own land, the consequences are unimaginable, and it will be a catastrophe for the Chinese cultural relics industry.
After sprinting forward for a while, there was no way forward, only the corridor that stretched downward.
"Brother Yi Yang, this has come to an end, there is no auction, there is not even a single figure!" Bai Wenchao said in surprise.
Yi Yang said: "Below, there is still a place below. â
Bai Wenchao glanced at the entrance of the building and said, "That's the basement." â
Yi Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's the basement, and that group of cultural relics smugglers should be trading in the basement below." â
After arriving at this place, the aura was no longer coming from the front, but obviously from downstairs, indicating that the direction of the treasure was under the corridor, that is, in the basement.
Immediately, Yi Yang ran towards the downstairs without saying anything, Bai Wen supernaturally followed, now there are killers ambushed by Sun and himself outside, it is safer to hide in the hidden place here, if there is a place to hide in the basement, it will be even better.
In a few moments, they rushed to the bottom of the hallway.
"The basement door is locked, so you can't get in." Bai Wenchao was surprised.
Yi Yang said: "Only find a way to open it." â
He tried to twist the lock open with his hand, but it was so strong that it couldn't shake it, let alone open it.
"I can't help it, I'll have to try this." Yi Yang suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist, then pulled Bai Wenchao back a few steps, and fired three shots in a row without hesitation.
After three shots, the lock lever was loosened, and Yi Yang walked up and pulled it hard, and it was easily unscrewed.
Yi Yang took off the lock and threw it aside, then grabbed the pistol and gently pushed open the iron door.
Bai Wenchao followed behind, also pulled out his gun, and was on guard.
Their guns were all taken from the killers sent by Yoshida Yu's party when they came last night, but each of them only had one on them, and they had already used a few bullets, and there were not many bullets left in the chamber, so they had to save money, after all, they were facing a group of heavily armed killers, and it was difficult to deal with them without weapons.
When the door opened, I could only smell a musty smell, which was very unpleasant.
The basement was dark and damp, and apparently uninhabited for a long time, and very few people even came.
"Brother Yi Yang, it's dead and silent here, and there is no one at all." After observing for a while, Bai Wenchao said softly.
Yi Yang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't look at this superficial phenomenon, it is likely that they are next to it, be careful, there must be killers inside." â
The strong aura they sensed told him that the treasure was nearby, and they had approached the source of the aura.
"Well, let's see." Bai Wenchao nodded and said, since Yi Yang said that, there must be a problem.
At the moment, the two of them cautiously explored the past with the help of the faint light coming from the entrance.
But the room in the basement was very empty, and there was almost nothing except for some dusty and quaint furniture.
Of course, there is no trace of Yoshida's group.
Until the entire basement was searched, nothing unusual was found.
At the end, Bai Wenchao took a long breath and said, "Brother Yi Yang, it seems that we were completely deceived by that bastard, and there is no so-called auction here at all. Even if that batch of cultural relics is stored in zĂ i, there is such a thing as an auction, it is definitely not in this place. â
Yi Yang shook his head stunned and said, "No, it should be here." It's weird, where is it? â
He muttered to himself, a puzzled look on his face.
The aura obviously filled the entire basement, but there were no antique treasures to be seen, and of course, these ordinary old furniture in the basement were not in the category of antiques.
"Brother Yi Yang, what are you thinking?" Bai Wenchao said in disbelief, "We've inspected every room below, and there's no one at all, so don't think about it, but this place is very quiet and safe, and it's a good place to hide temporarily." â
Yi Yang shook his head solemnly and said, "No, it must be something we overlooked, the treasure we are looking for should be around here, but why is there nothing?" â
Bai Wenchao smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's other places around the castle, not here, you said that things are in this place, unless there is a basement under this basement, there is a second basement, but this is impossible, right?" â
"Second basement?!"
As soon as these words came out, Yi Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Chao, you can be regarded as waking up the dreamer with a word, that's right, there must be a two-story basement, and they are hiding below to trade cultural relics." â
"Huh?!" Bai Wenchao was surprised, "How do you know?" â
Just now he said it completely casually, but he didn't expect to get to the point, which made Yi Yang suddenly realize.
Yi Yang replied, "Intuition sues me." Xiaochao, let's quickly find the entrance to the basement on the second floor, it should be near here, and it is not difficult to find. â
"Well, go find out." Bai Wenchao nodded hurriedly and agreed, so he immediately followed Yi Yang to rummage through all corners of the basement.
Bai Wenchao was completely blindly searching, but Yi Yang was different, he made a judgment based on the strength of his aura.
After some careful induction, he finally walked to the place where the aura was most concentrated.
"Xiao Chao, I'm sure the treasure is down here now." Yi Yang stopped and said.
Bai Wenchao said: "The treasure is hidden in the space below, but we can't find the passage to the basement of the second floor, if there is, it must be hidden very secretly." â
Yi Yang said: "Let's open the carpet inside and see if there is a secret passage or something hidden underneath." â
"Hmm." Bai Wenchao didn't question it, but as he said, he lifted all the carpets under his feet, opened the rolls and put them aside.
"Brother Yi Yang, come and see, there is something abnormal here!" Bai Wenchao suddenly exclaimed, as if he had found something abnormal.
"What?!" Yi Yang immediately ran over to inspect the situation.
Bai Wenchao pointed to a newly lit foundation in the corner of the wall in front of him and said: "There is a defect in that place, and it looks like this wall is very thick, which is different from ordinary walls." â
Yi Yang leaned down, took a closer look, and then said happily: "Xiaochao, you found out again, this wall is wrong, I always feel that there is something wrong down here, it is very wrong, but it turns out that the thickness of the wall is too large, much larger than the average." If I'm guessing correctly, the secret passage to the basement on the second floor is hidden in this wall. All we have to do now is look for a mechanism on this wall, there must be a mechanism that can open a door to the passage of the wall. â
Soon he and Bai Wenchao searched the surrounding walls, and it didn't take long for Yi Yang to discover the anomaly and find the secret door mechanism behind a hanging painting.
After activating the mechanism, a door automatically opened on the wall, and as Yi Yang expected, the secret door was connected to the wall.
The wall behind the door is empty, and there is a stairway to the basement of the next floor.
After opening the door and finding the secret passage, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao walked lightly to the basement.
There was a bright light below, indicating that someone was there.
Then they heard the voice of a man again.
But just as they crossed the corridor and landed on the ground.
Suddenly, someone rushed out from the front and shouted, "Who?!" What for?! â
As soon as the words fell, Yi Yang and the others flickered in front of them, and the sound of "bang-bang" gunfire rang out.
