Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Eight Commandments

Compared with Lao Gu, Professor Lin is much calmer.

I also walked to the bed, looked up and down, left and right, squatted down again, looked at the carved patterns on the side panels of the bed, looked back at me and said:

"Although I had never seen this bed at the time, judging from the materials and decorations, this should be the same pulling bed we saw back then. How...... How did it get ruined like this? ”

I turned my eyes to look at Guan Miaoling, "If I'm not mistaken, I changed my name and surname before my cousin passed away and inherited this house." How much do you know about the origin of this bed? ”

From the moment she got out of the car and saw Xuan Sheng, Guan Miaoling's expression changed rapidly, and at this moment, she and Xuan Sheng, their expressions were even more unspeakably ugly.

Listening to my question for the second time, she came back to her senses in a trance, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said:

"This bed was left by my cousin, and he said that it was found by a drama house in Suzhou when Da Chuan Lian was in the past. At that time, the play had passed away for many years, and there was only one one-eyed old man guarding the house.

He told me...... I told me that when they broke in, the one-eyed old man resisted stubbornly and slashed two 'little 'generals' with a firewood knife...... They finally tied up the one-eyed old man, smashing what he deserved, smashing what he deserved......

At last...... In the end, in front of the old man, the bed was split and burned. They wanted to drag the old man to fight, but the bed was half destroyed, and the old man vomited blood and died......"

"Bastard! Darn! Darn! Old Gu roared like thunder.

At this time, Lin Tong and I had already thought that the one-eyed old man who vomited blood and died was the old ugly ghost who guarded the mansion when Professor Lin and Lin Fu sneaked into the mansion. is also the 'little red guy' in Tong Xiaoqiu's mouth, Wang Jinshui.

Listening to Guan Miaoling's words, and then making up for the situation at that time, I was confused.

At this time, Ji Yayun took my hand and said softly:

"Get the stuff back first."

I nodded, subconsciously clenched her hand, and said to Guan Miaoling:

"Where's my stuff?"

Guan Miaoling bit her lip with red eyes and whispered something.

I didn't hear clearly, and shouted out to her to say it again.

She also raised her voice slightly:

"It's hidden in the bed, but ...... But when I put things in, the dark board won't open! Money or something, it's in the bed, in the middle, let's go find something to do and smash the bed open. ”

"it! I don't think this baby was destroyed completely enough?! ”

Lao Gu said angrily, walked to the front of the bed, squatted down, pointed to a carved side panel in the middle and asked:

"Isn't that the way it is?"

Guan Miaoling nodded: "Well, this is it, I also found out by accident......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Lao Gu looked at the side panel for a while, and for a moment, he gently broke it on a cloud carving in the corner of the side panel, looked back at me and said:

"It's yin, it's the outer eight elements, have you ever heard of the eight precept locks?"

"Eight Rings Lock!" My heart sank, and I hurried over.

Squatting down, I saw that the 'cloud' pressed by Lao Gu's hand was actually a moving flip buckle.

The buckle was flipped and shifted, revealing eight hidden keyholes underneath.

Lao Gu rubbed his nose: "Tong Xiaoqiu said that her stepping bed is more than four entrances, but she really didn't tell a lie." According to her, the toilet behind the bed should be the toilet. At that time, I wondered that if it was just a thatched house, it would never be considered the fifth entry. Dare to love this step bed really has a fifth entry, there is a treasure pavilion! It's just that if she doesn't say it, no one will think that the fifth will enter ...... The Treasure Pavilion will be under the bed! ”

"What do you mean by the fifth entrance under the bed?" Professor Lin focuses on medicine and obviously does not know as much about antiquities as Lao Gu.

Old Gu glared at him, "I said earlier, I'm a nerd!" I don't want to think about it, what is the Treasure Pavilion? As long as you can hide treasures, it's a treasure pavilion! It may not be a room, a large area, even if it is the size of a cigarette case, which can hide treasures and not be discovered by thieves, it is a treasure pavilion! ”

At this time, except for Zhuo Guangming and Guan Miaoling, who didn't dare to move, everyone had already come to the bedside out of curiosity.

Everyone, including the tiger, saw the eight keyholes.

"Eight keyholes...... It's really in line with the name of the Eight Rings. Sang Lan's father said, "Does this mean that you have to use eight keys and insert them at the same time to open this lock?" ”

"Get out of here!"

Maybe it was because he saw that the Babu bed was destroyed, Lao Gu was really red-eyed, and he didn't say anything inferior, and waved him away, "Xu Qiu, do you know the Bajie lock?" ”

"I heard from a friend who wasn't very reliable." I nodded, "Actually, the origin of the Bajie lock has nothing to do with these eight keyholes. The Bajie lock sounds related to Zhu Bajie, but the fact is that it is not related to Bajie, but a nine-tooth nail rake. ”

“…… What are you talking about? Can you be clear? I don't understand it at all. Lin Tong said.

I casually said, "The Bajie lock has eight keyholes, seven of which are fake, and only one is real.

There's a ninth keyhole in the real keyhole...... There is the original key, if the wrong keyhole is inserted, the lock spring inside will be disrupted, and the key will be useless.

The lock can only be opened by inserting the key directly into the real keyhole and connecting the ninth 'tooth' of the nine-tooth nail rake, which is the hidden keyhole. ”

Lao Gu nodded, "It is said that this lock is easy to close, but once it is locked, it can only be opened once." Now, we don't have a key, and even if we do, we don't know which is the real keyhole. ”

He turned to me again, his expression hesitant, "Does it matter?" It doesn't matter...... Let's stop opening it for now. Although this bed is badly damaged, it is still a valuable ......."

Before he could finish, I said, "I think I should be able to open this lock." ”

As I spoke, I took out the wooden box containing the copper lock from my bag, made the same gesture twice, opened the hidden compartment, and took out the wrench inside.

"Wishful wrenching!" Old Gu said awe-inspiringly.

Then he shook his head again, "No, even if you have this wrench, but these eight keyholes, do you know which one is true?" It's not a matter of luck, it's ......."

"I've never gambled, but this time, I really want to gamble!"

I interrupted him, put the wrench on the thumb of my right hand, rubbed my index finger, and immediately popped out of the wrench a piece of iron with a hook at the tip.

Without waiting for Lao Gu to speak, he inserted the iron piece into a keyhole on the very edge.

"Be careful!" Lao Gu pressed my shoulder, "It is said to ...... It is said that the real eight-ring lock, except for the real keyhole that runs through the ninth keyhole, the other seven are connected to the mechanism. Brat...... The kid's move may trigger a ...... It doesn't matter if it's poison or explosives, it's going to kill us! ”

"Don't worry, I'm confident!" I said as I turned my wrist.

There was a soft sound of "click", and everyone, including Lao Gu, seemed to hear a thunderbolt, and they all quickly retreated to the rear.

I licked my lips and turned to Ji Yayun, the only one who stayed beside me: "Why don't you withdraw?" If this is really a trigger mechanism, if it is really explosives, not to mention that it will blow up its face. ”
