Chapter 21 There is a door

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming and they followed the secret passage and walked to the stone room at the end. After some investigation, Mu Qingming and the others saw that this stone room had been built for a long time, and it was a secret room specially used for Gu refining. But they also soon discovered a problem, this stone chamber can only go out of it. After leading out Mu Qingming shook his head to deny Zhao Liang's statement, and decided that there must be a way out, he buried his head in the room and searched again, and finally found the news of a control organ in an inconspicuous place. After a little research, Mu Qingming opened the message in the right way, and then the wall deep in the stone chamber slid open, revealing a way out. 】

The spring breeze is blowing and the sun is shining. The white clouds floating on the blue sky above the head of Kunming City, under the sun, the white clouds are so white and beautiful.

Slowly walked to the shopkeeper in Shala Alley, and after walking a few steps, he found that this alley full of sunlight seemed to be a little different from before.

After taking a few steps forward, Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly remembered what the difference was; It's because the alley doesn't seem to be as cold as it used to be. He has been to this alley a few times before, mostly to deliver goods to customers. In the impression of the shopkeeper, this alley is not only narrow, but also so cold and bitter regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every time you are in the alley, you can't help but feel that there seems to be a pair of sharp eyes hidden behind your head, always staring at your every move, which makes people very unnatural and uncomfortable.

Once the sun sets, few people in Kunming dare to wander around this alley again.

But today, these feelings that once made people a little cautious are completely gone; The rest is just a faint warmth. This made the shopkeeper Zhang, who knew nothing about supernatural things, secretly sigh in his heart: "It's really spring, and it's warm everywhere." ”。

As everyone knows, the one who caused those feelings of uneasiness was the ghost and the hanged ghost who used to guard Mu Qingming's door and lived in this alley. Now that they're all dead at the hands of the Emperor Mother, there's no more of that unsettling feeling.

He slowly walked to the small courtyard of the Mu family where he came for the second time and stood still, raised his hand after straightening his robe, and gently knocked on the brand-new vermilion lacquer door, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This stinky boy, if you don't come to work, you are in the mood to change the door?" ”。

"Which one is it?" A crisp female voice came from inside the door, and when the shopkeeper Zhang sounded a little strange, the door had slowly opened, and Miao Le poked his head out from behind the door, looked carefully at the stunned shopkeeper, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”。

"Oh, this girl, is this Mufu? Is Young Master Mu Qing at home? After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper Zhang took a step back slightly, raised his head and looked up and down at the house-style gate in front of him, the confusion in his eyes increased instead of decreasing, and he couldn't help muttering: "I didn't go to the wrong place?" Why didn't you see it? ”。

That Miaole is very sharp, even though his muttering is very small and the number of words is extremely fast, but he still listened to it really, and said with a smile: "This master, this is Young Master Mu's home, yes, Miaojue went back to his hometown; May I ask you for something about our young master? ”。

"Did you buy a maid?" After muttering again, the shopkeeper Zhang bowed slightly to Miaole, and said bluntly: "I am the shopkeeper of Rong Bao Zhai, and I am also the shopkeeper of the place where your young master worked before." Just because he didn't come to work for half a month, he said that he had resigned. The old man was thinking about whether he resigned because he had too little monthly money, so he came over to take a look; If he really thinks that the monthly money is too small, then he can give him a salary increase within the scope of his old ability! He doesn't have to resign! ”。

As he was talking, Mu Luo, who heard the conversation in the hall, also walked slowly, walked to Miaole and stood still, bowed his head and frowned at the shopkeeper Zhang's knees slightly, and after making a slight blessing salute, he said slowly: "This shopkeeper, the concubine is Qingming's mother, and she recently came from her hometown to visit the dog. Qing Ming's child didn't go to work for half a month, indeed because his salary was only fifty-five yuan, and he felt that it was a little less. And the shopkeeper Zhang gave him some kindness, and the concubine thanked the dog first. Only now he is not at home; Look at this, when he comes back, I will let him go to Rong Bao Zhai to talk to you in detail. ”。

Mu Luo couldn't tell Shopkeeper Zhang that his house was attacked by evil people, so Mu Qing was depressed and didn't go to work; Therefore, she listened to the conversation between the other party and Miaole clearly, and simply made up a reason for it.

And Mu Luo had already known everything about his son in Kunming from Miaojue, including the salary, of course; Therefore, the lies made up are naturally unassailable.

"It turned out to be Mu Mu, disrespectful and disrespectful." Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly shook his head and said politely: "Since it is a matter of wages, it is easy to handle, please convey to Ling Lang, I am willing to add his salary to seventy yuan a month, and ask him if he is satisfied with this?" And our Rong Bao Zhai will always keep him a palm-eyed position. ”。

Unexpectedly, saying this, it made his son rich, Mu Luo's secretly rejoiced at the moment, and after turning sideways, he also said politely: "The concubine must convey it; The shopkeeper, please, come to the house to have a cup of tea and eat some small pastries. ”。

Seeing that Mu Qingming was not at home, it was not easy for the shopkeeper Zhang to enter the hospital to sit for a long time, so he postponed the ceremony: "No, no, there are still some things to deal with in the store, so I will leave." ”。 After speaking, regardless of Mu Luo's retention, he left without looking back.

After walking dozens of steps, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but be curious, and muttered to himself in his heart: "This Young Master Mu's mother is obviously my Han appearance, why does she have a pair of foreigners' blue eyes?" ”。

And when the shopkeeper Zhang was far away and Miaole closed the courtyard door, Mu Luo also put away his smile and muttered softly: "How can there be a faint smell of medicine on the body of this shopkeeper Zhang?" ”。

"Medicinal smell?" After muttering a sentence from Miaole, who had a bad nose, he smiled disapprovingly: "Maybe he's been a little sick recently, so he's looking for some medicine to treat his illness." ”。

"No, it's incense-like medicine and not an internal one, it's stained on his clothes." After shaking his head slightly, Mu Luo, who frowned slightly, muttered again......

"It's not that there is no door, but you and I haven't seen the door yet." Mu Qingming shook his head slowly, and vetoed Zhao Liang's question with one word.

Just as Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment, and the confusion in his eyes did not decrease but increased, Mu Qingming slowly said again: "We said before, the murderer went out of the secret passage, and when the exit was opened, he first unexpectedly flashed out of the secret passage, killed the person by the wall, and then quickly flew forward and beheaded another person standing by the prison door. ”。

"Yes." After Zhao Liang nodded his head in a daze, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and shouted: "I know, because there is an exit, the murderer can enter here, and then follow the newly repaired secret passage to enter the cell to kill people." ”。

"Shh Mu Qingming hurriedly raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips to signal him to whisper; At this moment, maybe the murderer is just a wall away from them.

Zhao Liang hurriedly put away his excitement, lowered his voice and said, "Is there a mechanism?" ”。

The reply he received was a slight bow in Mu Qingming's silence.

Mu Qingming continued to be silent, holding the fire fold in his hand and continuing to circle around the room, a pair of sharp eyes looking around the room.

Since there are organs, there is naturally information control. As long as you find this message control, you can open the mechanism; It's like the rockery in the Anfu Garden by the lotus pond.

But after three or four turns, in this small stone room, except for the nine long cases and the bottles and cans on it, only the floor and the wall paved with blue bricks remained, and there was no news of the mechanism.

After Mu Qingming stood still in the middle of the stone room, he frowned and pondered.

After a long time, his mind came up with the carved patterns on the desks. Generally speaking, there will be no patterns carved on the desk of the bookcase, after all, the bookcase is used for writing, and how to use the uneven tabletop. Obviously, these patterns are not only very abrupt, but also counterintuitive.

Thinking of this, he continued to walk to the table with the fire fold in his hand, and began to carefully examine the patterns on the table. If he guessed correctly, one of these patterns was always a mechanism message, while the others were either simple patterns, or messages that enabled the deadly mechanism.

In other words, in this seemingly quiet stone room, it is also a killing machine step by step.

He stopped and stopped, stopped and looked, and there were mostly Miao people's faith totems on the table, including the group of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the boulders and trees. Or the phoenix maple and the butterfly pan gourd (the legendary dog god worshipped by the Miao people), and of course, the drum grotto (a kind of arrow for the Miao people to worship the ancestors) pattern, which depicts the ancestors worshiped by the Miao people, Yang Gong and Yang Po.

Zhao Liang also followed him silently, but he couldn't see any clues, so he had to wait patiently for Mu Qingming.

These patterns are all connected by lines, and there are no dots in them, so they don't look like agency messages. Just when Mu Qingming was also a little skeptical that he had made a mistake and was about to start looking for news about this organ again, Mo Han, who was standing beside him, pulled his sleeve and raised his hand to point to a set of patterns similar to the Big Dipper in front of the Gu Refining Urn on the table in front of the two of them.

These patterns are composed of small holes connecting lines, which at first glance look the same as the Beidou, but the arrangement of the Beidou should be from northwest to southeast, and it can never be east-west. But now this set of patterns is exactly east-west, and the handle is pointing directly at the Gu refining urn next to it.

In the totem of Miao people's faith, although this Beidou pattern is inconspicuous, it seems a little redundant.

"I see, it turns out that these patterns are not critical, just distractions." Mu Qingming's eyes lit up, he held the Gu refining urn with both hands, and after gently turning two times in the counterclockwise direction, there was a "creak" sound next to the entrance, and the wall slowly slid open to the side, revealing a secret passage that was half a foot high and only three feet wide, and the stairs that were erected diagonally behind the secret passage came into the eyes of Mu Qingming and his group.

Zhao Liang immediately became fully alert, and also pulled out the Mauser pistol hanging from his waist, pointing directly behind the open secret door, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"How do you know that two laps are a way to open?" When he was happy, he didn't feel that there was an outsider's ink cold behind the secret door, so he couldn't hold back his inner excitement, and asked Mu Qingming in a low voice.

"The second star of the Big Dipper is Tianxuan, also known as the giant gate star, the main thing related to the mouth, the mouth is open, so the giant gate star also has the meaning of opening the door, and because it is the second star of the Big Dipper, so I turned it twice." Mu Qingming said lightly, but none of them took a step behind the secret door first.

Mo Han nodded thoughtfully, and then asked softly, "Then why is it counterclockwise?" ”。

"The direction of the handle of the Beidou tells me which way to turn." Mu Qingming raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly smug smile, turned his head to Zhao Liang behind him and whispered slowly, "The door you want is here." ”。

What will be behind the door? And what's on the ladder? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
