Chapter 977: Underground Secret Room

Murong Xi carefully checked the dresser, but did not find where the mechanism was. Murong Xi thought that perhaps Elder Qu was not sitting in front of the dresser at that time, but somewhere else. It's just that I was so young at the time, so I can't remember it clearly.

So, Murong Xi gave up the dresser and closed the drawer of the dresser, and when she put the drawer back in place, she found that there was something wrong with the handle of the drawer. Murong Xi tried again, and with a slight twist, a gap popped out of the dresser.

Murong Xi smiled slightly and said, "We found it." ”

Feng Mingye walked to Murong Xi's side, wiped Murong Xi's sweat, and said, "Xi'er, if you are tired, just rest for a while before going in." ”

"What are you tired of, it's been less than half an hour to be tired?" Murong Xi glared and spoke.

Murong Xi turned his head and said to Elder Qu, "Elder Qu, let's go in." ”

After saying that, he pushed the dresser and walked inside.

Elder Qu nodded and followed behind Murong Xi, and when Feng Mingye saw this, he hurriedly followed behind Elder Qu and walked towards the secret room.

The secret room was a little dark, and Murong Xi had no choice but to take out the night pearl to illuminate it.

The secret room is not very large, so it can be said that it is clear at a glance. Leaning against the right wall is a bookshelf full of books.

Murong Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, not knowing where to start. After looking around for a while, he said softly, "Elder Qu, you really haven't come in once?" ”

Elder Qu nodded and said, "I just remember that there was one more door, and besides, I was still young at that time, so I didn't know how I came across the mechanism. The door hasn't been opened since. ”

"It seems that Elder Zheng has not come in here except for your father." Murong Xi said.

"Xi'er, doesn't Elder Zheng know that there is a secret room here?" Feng Mingye asked.

"I think it's eighty percent so, otherwise the things here wouldn't be left here as they are. If Elder Zheng discovers this secret room, he will definitely tell the Great Elder. It's just that he will definitely not leave those important things to the Great Elder. Murong Xi sighed and said.

"Xi'er, although it's not big, it's not easy to find what we need." Feng Mingye said worriedly.

"You're right, but there's no way around it." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he approached the bookshelf.

She believed that even if she couldn't find a sheepskin map on the bookshelf, she would find a clue that would be used again.

Feng Mingye followed and helped Murong Xi hold the Night Pearl.

Murong Xi started to look through the bookshelf in the middle and looked very carefully. Elder Qu stood aside, looking at everything in the secret room with a bit of a distraction.

Murong Xi was deeply attracted by these books, which were actually the witchcraft secret books collected in the forbidden land of the Fengtian Sect.

It seems that Elder Qu is indeed a witchcraft elder from the tribe, but after coming to the Central Plains, he followed his ancestors to the Valley of the Medicine King, so he collected all the witchcraft here. However, whether Elder Qu would also store the sheepskin map here, that is not certain.

Murong Xi put down the book, and when he turned around, he happened to see Elder Qu's distracted appearance.

"Elder Qu, are you not feeling well?" Murong Xi asked worriedly.

Because of Murong Xi's voice, Elder Qu finally came back to his senses and said, "No, I don't know why, I suddenly feel that this house is very familiar. ”

"You say you're familiar with this room? Have you been to the Chamber of Secrets, but you don't remember it? Murong Xi asked with doubts.

Elder Qu shook his head and said, "I really don't remember if I've been to this secret room before, but just now I suddenly felt that the things in it were very familiar. Little Valley Lord, there seems to be a mechanism in the middle of the bookshelf, you see. ”

Elder Qu himself felt very strange as to why this secret room had a strange and familiar feeling to him. Therefore, after Murong Xi asked him, he suddenly had an impression of the mechanism on the bookshelf.

Murong Xi didn't have Elder Qu's words, turned around and picked up the book in the middle of the bookshelf and put it somewhere else. She looked carefully at the bookshelf, and sure enough, as Elder Qu expected, there really was a mechanism.

Murong Xi pressed it lightly, and with a click, the bookshelf popped out.

Murong Xi and Feng Mingye glanced at each other, it seemed that Elder Qu must have been here. Murong Xi looked over after thinking about the bookshelf, and Feng Mingye took the Night Pearl and shone it behind the bookshelf. It turned out that there was a tunnel behind the bookshelf.

"Elder Qu, there is a tunnel behind the bookshelf, let's go down and have a look." Ji Limo said to Elder Qu.

Elder Qu nodded, walked behind Murong Xi, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there is really a mechanism on the bookshelf, and there is actually a tunnel in the back." ”187

"Elder Qu, how did you know that there was a mechanism on the bookshelf? If you haven't been in, how can you suddenly remember? Murong Xi asked curiously.

Murong Xi always felt that Elder Qu must have opened this mechanism more than once, but it might have been discovered by Elder Qu. With Elder Qu's father's ability, how could he make Elder Qu think of this?

"Little Valley Lord, I really don't know what's going on, but suddenly a mechanism on the bookshelf flashed in my mind. Have I really been in more than once? Elder Qu also said with some confusion.

"Perhaps, Elder Qu will find out soon." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he took the Night Pearl and walked down the tunnel.

After Murong Xi entered the tunnel, he found that the space below was twice as large as the secret room above.

"Ah Ye, the space underground is much larger than above." Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.

"Xi'er, this underground secret room is so secret, do you think the ancestors of the Qu family will put the sheepskin map here?" Feng Mingye asked.

After Murong Xi came down cautiously, he carefully looked at the basement again. Murong Xi found that a desk was neatly placed in the basement, and there was also a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk. It's just that because no one has been tidying up and cleaning for too long, the table is full of dust.

In addition to a table, there is also a bookshelf on the side. There were some bottles and jars on the bookshelf, and Murong Xi knew at a glance that what was in those jars must be Gu worms. It seems that these Gu worms are still dormant.

However, she only knew that there were also a lot of Gu worms in the secret room in Elder Qu's medicine room. It's just that I don't know what the difference between the Gu worms in this is different from those Gu worms.

"Little Valley Master, there is so much dust on the table, why don't you clean it up first?" Elder Qu said.

Murong Xi shook his head and handed the Night Pearl in his hand to Feng Mingye. She picked up a book on the table and dusted it gently.

There was no word on the book, Murong Xi felt strange, so he carefully flipped through the book. It's just that to Murong Xi's surprise, there is not a word in the book.

"Ah Ye, look at it." Murong Xi casually handed the book to Feng Mingye.

Feng Mingye took the book, looked at it, and said, "There is no word in this." Could it be that this is the same as the parchment map, with a special potion written on it? ”

Murong Xi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, it seems that this book needs to be taken back to Ji Limo to see." ”

After Murong Xi finished speaking, he looked at the brush on the table again, and just wanted to pick up the brush to take a look, but found that he couldn't pick it up at all. Murong Xi sent his hand, looked at it carefully, and put his hand on the brush. This time, Murong Xi did not pick up the brush, but turned to the left and right, and sure enough, the brush moved. Suddenly, the drawer on the inside of the desk popped out.

After Murong Xi heard the voice, he immediately walked to the desk. It turns out that if you want to open the drawer of the desk, you have to turn the brush on the desk.

Murong Xi looked at the drawer, Feng Mingye knew that Murong Xi wanted to find out what was in the drawer, so he approached Murong Xi with the Night Pearl.

Murong Xi found a very small box in the drawer, Murong Xi reached out and wanted to take it out, but was stopped by Feng Mingye.

"Xi'er, no one has come in here for decades, you see, there is not a trace of dust on the box, and such a wooden box has been left for so long, it still looks like new." Feng Mingye said.

Murong Xi knew that Feng Mingye was worried that the box would be poisonous, so he nodded and put on silk gloves and took out the small box.

The box exuded a fragrance, Murong Xi's eyes lit up, and he said: "The box has a faint fragrance, it turns out that the wood is the same as the medicine coffin in Xuanmen Villa." No wonder it looks like new, and there should be something very important in the box. ”

"Is it a parchment map?" Feng Mingye asked.

Murong Xi smiled and said, "This wooden box is the same as the small box inside the scroll, so I suspect that it should be a prescription inside." ”

"Prescription? Could it be the prescription of Yin Yang Gu? Elder Qu said in surprise.

"It's the tribe's prescription for immortality." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he opened the box.

Sure enough, as Murong Xi said, there was a prescription in the box. Murong Xi looked at it carefully, the medicinal materials written on the prescription were somewhat the same as the previous prescription, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see any difference at all. However, Murong Xi knew at a glance that the prescription was different. After Murong Xi put the prescription into the box, he threw the box to Feng Mingye.

What Murong Xi didn't expect was that there was nothing in the drawer except for the box.

Murong Xi knew that there would be no sheepskin map in the drawer, so he stood up. Unexpectedly, because he was in such a hurry, Murong Xi's eyes were dark, and he almost didn't faint. When he leaned back, he was held by Feng Mingye. But Feng Mingye fell on the bookshelf, so frightened that Feng Mingye hurriedly stabilized the jar on the shelf with one hand.

I saw a bang on the bookshelf, and a portrait fell in front of Murong Xi. The three of them were all stunned when they looked at the portrait, because this portrait was exactly the same as the one that Feng Tianjiao had brought back. It's just that there is no mechanism on the scroll of this portrait at all. That is, the sheepskin is not here at all.

"This, it turns out, there is also a portrait like this in this secret room. It's a pity that my father was murdered, otherwise he would have mentioned this to me. Elder Qu muttered.

"Is it just this painting and this box in the basement? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. Murong Xi always felt that although the layout of the basement was simple, it would never only contain portraits and boxes.
