Chapter 138: The Box on the Stone Table

"Yes, this mechanism is a combination lock, there is a row of numbers on the top of this box, the password is pre-designed, this box can only be opened once or twice, if the password is entered incorrectly, the sawtooth in the box will cut the documents hidden inside to shreds."

Li Wutong exclaimed: "What a delicate password box." ”

Wu Tongguang said: "You have seen such an exquisite mechanism design before. ”

"You mean the mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage?"

"Exactly." Wu Tongguang was referring to the fact that when he escaped from under the stone table in the secret passage the day before yesterday, he benefited from the discovery of an iron plate mechanism that could close the door of the cave, and, of course, an earthen grenade.

"You mean the same person who made this mechanism and the codebox?"

Wu Tongguang said with a smile: "No, Li Qingfeng's password box was imported from abroad, but this mechanism seems to have been in the secret passage for a long time. ”

Li Wutong was puzzled.

Wu Tongguang said: "I mean, since Li Qingfeng has been to Huiyun's former residence, he is naturally likely to hide his password box in the secret passage. ”

"Where would it be hidden?" Li Wutong propped his head and began to remember.

"Have you forgotten that there is a stone table in that secret room, and there is a box of iron and stone poured on the stone table!"

Li Wutong heard him say this, and tried to recall the situation in the secret room the day before yesterday, she was pleasantly surprised: "That's right! There was such a box on the stone table, but we didn't notice it at the time. ”

Wu Tongguang said with a smile: "This is really 'from everywhere, to where to go', if you want to find this password box, you still have to go back to Hongyi's former residence." ”

"But if we find it, we can't open it, we haven't cracked the code yet."

Wu Tongguang smiled mysteriously at her and did not speak.

Li Wutong clasped his fingers and smacked a shudder on his head, and said, "It's here again, isn't it, don't sell it!" ”

Wu Tongguang touched his head and said, "I just came back to life, and I ...... so irritable."

Li Wutong smiled.

"Silly girl, do you want to see how Comrade Lei Yin deciphers the code?"

Li Wutong nodded vigorously.

......

Master, commonly known as Li Shutong, a rare genius in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, proficient in various arts, taught musicians, calligraphers, painters, sculptors, etc., after becoming a monk, he had an epiphany of Zen theory, and had a deep study in Vinaya Buddhism, became a sect master, and had many disciples.

He also had many friendly relations with international friends, which promoted an example of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures in China in modern times.

How can such a character not be fascinating.

At this moment, in front of his former residence, a man and a woman are stopping. The man was thin and the woman was tall and tall, and the two of them lowered their voices and gently entered the former residence of the mage.

Both of them were in good shape, and they walked freely between the columns of the corridor, and they seemed quite familiar with the courtyard.

The moonlight in the middle of the night sprinkled on the cold courtyard, and I saw the shadows of the two of them walking side by side, heading straight for the study behind.

When the door of the study opened, a smell of ink came to their faces, but the two of them did not care about the precious books and ink treasures here, and walked straight to the front of a wall. There are also traces of scratching by a knife on the wall, which were carved into small characters and then scraped off with a sharp object.

The man chuckled softly, admiring to himself for the young but thoughtful man who scraped off the small print on the wall. The man gently slapped the wall, only to hear the rumbling sound, a smell of gunpowder smoke permeating the air, and a secret passage appeared in front of him.

The passage leads to a chamber with a passage under the stone table leading to the outside of the house. Just recently, someone detonated a grenade in the secret room, so the smell of gunpowder smoke still remained in the secret passage.

The man and woman dodged into the secret passage, and after about a quarter of an hour, they came out again.

The woman said softly: "For the sake of this list, he didn't even want his life......"

The man said, "I know he's going to do that." ”

The woman said, "Can't you change your mind even if it's for me?" ”

The man said categorically, "No." ”

"Why?" The woman was a little excited. In fact, she already has the answer to this question in her heart, but she has been reluctant to face it.

There was a light in the man's eyes, and he said word for word: "Because this is his faith!" ”

"Faith?"

"Yes, it is precisely because of faith that he is so worthy of respect that he can endure hardships and grievances in the long years, and in the face of faith, all incognito and sacrifice are worth it."

The woman said quietly: "Hey, I know, I should have known that this was the case, I have spent so long, and I still can't dissolve a heart made of iron." ”

The man said, "No! You've gained his heart, and if it were for him to die for you, he wouldn't blink. ”

The woman was silent.

The man continued: "However, if he were to choose between you and his faith, he would not hesitate to choose the latter, because his faith is related to the well-being of tens of millions of people. ”

The woman said, "I have a question......

"I know what you're asking......"

The two of them walked slowly, and they were about to walk out of the courtyard. The backs of the two of them were reflected in a long distance on the Taihu Lake rockery behind them.

They didn't know that there had been two other people hiding behind the rockery, and these two people couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads when they listened to their conversation.

The man and woman were about to walk out of the courtyard, and the woman finally asked the crucial question: "If you had to choose, what would you choose?" ”

The entire courtyard was quiet, and Li Wutong and Wu Tongguang behind the rockery could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

The two of them had arrived a moment earlier.

Li Wutong was rushed to the former residence of the mage by Wu Tongguang on his back. Soon after Zhuo Shaoqing left, he left the hospital, and Li Wutong's physical strength recovered better than expected.

"What? You mean Lei Yin, oh no, Zhuo Shaoqing may have defected? Li Wutong's mouth opened wide in surprise. Just when Wu Tongguang and her rushed to their former residence, what Wu Tongguang said surprised her.

"We have to catch up with Zhuo Shaoqing and them." Wu Tongguang said. He was carrying Li Wutong on his back, how could his feet be faster than the two top assassins.

As soon as Li Wutong regained his strength, he began to count him down and said, "Wu Tongguang, do you say that you are suspicious, how can Comrade 'Lei Yin' betray?" ”

Wu Tongguang said: "I also hope not." ”

"Also, do you say that you are reckless, don't say that you are carrying me, even if you are alone, it is impossible to be faster than the two of them!"

"No, we must be faster than them, because Zhuo Shaoqing will still have a certain amount of time to crack that string of Chinese characters."

So, the two of them really arrived first, as soon as the two of them arrived, Zhuo Shaoqing and Zheng Biwan arrived, and the two of them didn't have time to dodge, so they had to hold their breath and hide behind the rockery.

After hiding in the rockery, they overheard the conversation between the man and the woman.
