With Zou Ju leaving, the atmosphere in the entire hall became a little weird, after all, she had just scolded the old lady in front of everyone, this kind of behavior was really too much.

"Okay, I think it's almost time, boss, you take Jiankang and Yi'er to the ancestral hall"

The old lady's tone dispelled the dullness in the hall a little, and with the departure of Zou Yi and the others, the indifferent expression finally changed a little, a thick sadness crawled all over her face, tears slipped quietly, and a heavy sense of powerlessness made her eyelids droop.

Walking into the backyard, you can see that the ancestral hall of the Zou family has obviously been brilliant, even if it is as bad as it is today, the gold paint on the doorpost is still dazzling.

Led Zou Yi and Zou Jiankang into the ancestral hall, Zou Rongsheng opened the lunch box in his hand and brought out the meals that had been prepared a long time ago and put them on the long table.

The whole process of worshipping ancestors came to the bottom in an orderly manner under the auspices of Zou Rongsheng, until the Zou family tree was invited out and Zou Yi's name was added to Zou Jiankang, and this ancestor worship was completed.

"Xiao Yi, you have a good look at the ancestral teachings of the Zou family in this ancestral hall, since you have now taken over as the patriarch, then the key to this ancestral hall should be kept by you."

After Zou Rongsheng's father and son left, Zou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, if there were others present, the hidden things in the genealogy would naturally not be able to be taken out.

The Zou family tree is very thick, and the front and back covers are carved with wooden boards, and after so many years, instead of being worn, they have become more shiny. What surprised Zou Yi the most was that when he opened the family tree, the first few pages were not paper, but written on silk, and he had seen that font in the Sanshan and Wuhu Palace, which was the text of Qi during the Warring States Period, and it was hard to imagine that the words of more than 2,000 years ago would be seen in the Zou family tree, if this matter is serious, then these pages of silk have not been preserved from the Warring States Period to today.

During the Warring States Period, it was not the princes and nobles who could use silk, it is conceivable that the status of the Zou family in that era was definitely not low, this is not the reason why he was surprised, these pages of silk obviously do not exist to be sealed and preserved, and now it is completely exposed to the air, more than 2,000 years ago, without any storage measures, it can be preserved so well, and even the handwriting on it is clearly visible, this kind of means is rare in today's society, let alone more than 2,000 years ago.

After a little surprise, Zou Yi did not stop, and directly looked for the secret place on the wooden cover. It only took a quarter of an hour, and he didn't notice anything unusual, which not only made him suspicious of his grandmother's words.

"It's just a lump of wood, you can't even find a crack, where can you hide something?"

Zou Yi muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that my grandmother deliberately said it in order to make me the patriarch?" ”

As soon as this thought came to mind, Zou Yi shook his head again: "No, grandma doesn't need to do this at all, this kind of lie will be exposed sooner or later, could it be that this secret has always been a misinformation from the predecessors?" ”

Since he has this kind of thought, Zou Yi doesn't plan to look for the so-called secret anymore, although he is a little disappointed, but for him, looking for the secret is just a momentary curiosity, not wanting to get anything from it, so it doesn't matter.

"Click"

A sound that was so slight that it was imperceptible at all came into his ears, and it was thanks to Zou Yi, who had already reached the level of the Sanhua Gathering Peak, even if he changed his old way, this voice may not be able to catch it.

Maintaining the posture of closing the cover of the genealogy, Zou Yi's eyes swept up and down the cover several times without dead ends, but he still found nothing, and he clenched his palm on the cover quite helplessly.

"Click"

Another sound came, Zou Yi was obviously stunned, this time not only did he hear the sound, but his palm holding the cover also seemed to touch something.

Letting go of his palm, Zou Yi looked at the wooden board intently, where his palm was just holding, there was a small protrusion, if he didn't look closely, he would only regard it as a scar on the wood. Stretching out a finger, he touched the protrusion back and forth, and the click sounded along with the sound of the finger sliding.

This discovery, Zou Yi immediately became interested, thinking that back then, with the old Tao visited the Sanshan and Wuhu School Palace, there were many records about the secret box of the organ in the school palace, but he had never had the opportunity to see the real thing, and now there is such a thing in front of him, how can he not be excited.

Suppressing his excitement, Zou Yi pondered the way to open the dark box, and pressed it down hard, no, he dialed it up and down, left and right, and it didn't work.

"Is it necessary to follow a specific order?"

Zou Yi moved his hand while thinking, there were a total of four directions, and the combinations obtained according to the arrangement were not much, there were only twenty-four in total, and he tried it in a few minutes according to his speed, but the result was still not good.

There is really no trick, Zou Yi shook his head and sighed, although he was unwilling, he could only give up, this thing obviously needs a special technique to open, since the old lady didn't talk about it, I think this opening technique has been lost.

Zou Yi didn't think about smashing the wooden plank compulsively, but this method is not safe, according to the records in the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy, but all the traps have a set of self-destruct designs, if they are not opened in a well-designed way, but through tricks or destructive methods, then the things in the trap box will be automatically destroyed.

Closing the genealogy and gently stroking the cover, Zou Yi had a faint feeling in his heart, always feeling that the hidden things in this genealogy were particularly important to him, but he couldn't open it, and he had to give up.

Frowning slightly, sighing slightly, his palm unintentionally patted on the cover, coincidentally, because he failed to open the dark box, his heart naturally took a little bit of indifference, and these palms were slapped unconsciously using internal force, just when his palm was raised, a suction force acted on the cover.

"Click"

A voice several times louder than the previous one came, and the long-awaited scene finally appeared.

Under Zou Yi's surprised eyes, the wooden board used as the cover of the family tree has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the wooden board that looks like a perfect fit recedes from the middle to the two sides layer by layer, and when this change stops, the wooden plank that retreats to both sides seems to be piled up into two nine-story steps, and the top layer of the steps is inlaid with half a turquoise bead, if it is merged, it just makes up a complete bead, and I think the bulge on the wooden board is the reason for this bead.
