Chapter 701: The Mysterious Fifth Layer
Ouyang Huaiyu took a deep breath, as if he was condensing the strength of his body, he was ready to do a big thing. There are so many secrets in this pagoda that for now, it is only possible to solve them if you go inside and know all the details.
The owner of the East Island attaches too much importance to the pagoda, which makes him feel suspicious. Ouyang Huaiyu mustered up one hundred and twenty points of spirit and walked towards the spiral staircase, his steps slow and cautious.
He had seen the first three floors before, and those things exuded an ancient atmosphere, making this pagoda reveal a sense of history.
Half an hour passed, and at last he reached the fourth floor, and with the key in hand, he opened the heavy patina door.
There are no lights inside, but it doesn't look dark. This made Ouyang Huaiyu stunned in place.
"What's going on? What is it? ”
He stood at the door in a daze, poked his head out to look inside, it turned out that the light was the surrounding walls, the walls here were different from the earthen walls of Dongdao, but jade walls made of Hetian jade, facing his four windows wide open, and the bright moonlight poured in like water, painting the whole room a hazy hue.
I didn't expect the owner of the East Island to live such a luxurious life, and he actually built two walls with high-grade jade, which also indirectly shows how much the owner attaches importance to the fourth layer.
The more attention you pay to the place, the more tired it is, Ouyang Huaiyu knows this truth very well, he tiptoes open the door and walks in, quietly and silently closing the door.
When he paced to a rosewood table, he found that it was full of miscellaneous items, most of them gold, silver, jewelry, and some silver tickets, which looked very extravagant.
The first three floors look like decent things, but who knows that the fourth layer has a cave. The reason why the owner of the island locked this place is probably because he is afraid that the people on the island will discover his true nature!
Thinking about it now, it is ironic, on the surface, he is glamorous, but behind the scenes, he has done all the things that have lost his conscience, is such a person still worthy of being the master of an island?
Ouyang Huaiyu coldly squeezed out a mocking smile, and continued to search for the items on the table, wanting to see if he could find useful clues.
Suddenly, his fingers touched a cold object, which was covered by a piece of satin, and it faintly emitted a faint green luster.
"This should be the jade pendant of Hua Cheng's parents."
He stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant out from under the satin, took it to the light and examined it carefully, and there was a Chinese character engraved on it.
It's really good, Hua Cheng also has an identical one on his body, it seems that the island owner is not lying, he said that this is the middle-aged man brought from the Extremely Cold Castle, that is, this is one of the trophies.
At this moment, Ouyang Huaiyu came to his senses, he subconsciously took a step back, staring at the table full of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as all kinds of luxurious items hanging on the walls on both sides, so to speak, these are all loot looted from elsewhere in Dongdao!
Among them, there are also a lot of rare belongings, far more than the people of the East Island have, so to speak, the owner of the East Island is not only leading troops to slaughter the Extremely Cold Castle, he has also led troops to harm more people in innocent places!
"What scum! Dregs! ”
Ouyang Huaiyu suddenly became angry, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the jade wall, and the flame of anger flashed in his eyes. After all, he didn't catch the wrong person, and the owner of Dongdao Island is a heinous greedy villain.
After wandering around the fourth floor for a while, he found that he hadn't made much gain, although the things here were priceless, they could not be said to be the treasures and secrets of the East Island, at most it was just the unsightly greed of the island owner. Micro book bar
In that case, he must go to the fifth floor, where he may be able to find the answer he wants.
Ouyang Huaiyu walked out of the half-hidden door, he carefully held on to the railing, and moved slowly with his waist bent, for fear of alarming the guards below.
Every two hours, guards would enter the pagoda to investigate, and it was a rule set by the owner that they would search the first three floors until they were sure that there were no islanders or intruders.
At this moment, it was their search time, which also brought huge pressure to Ouyang Huaiyu, he had to go up from the only staircase to enter the fifth floor, but this was a spiral staircase, once the person above made any movement, even the slightest sound would trigger the alarm, and he would not be able to eat and walk around at that time!
"Whew."
Ouyang Huaiyu lowered his head and pinched a cold sweat for himself, he calmed his emotions in a heavy mood, tried to adjust his gentle breathing, and his outstretched footsteps slowly fell to the ground, stepping on the stairs step by step.
After two quiet hours, the guards nodded in satisfaction and left, and then he walked to the door on the fifth floor, and craned his chin in surprise at the locked silver gate.
Obviously, the fourth floor is just a patina gate, why is the fifth floor replaced with a silver gate? Could it be that as I imagined, there is a treasure of the East Island in this layer?
Ouyang Huaiyu didn't believe his judgment a little, and he stopped at the lock on the door again, this lock looked different from the fourth layer, maybe it couldn't be matched.
I saw that he took out the key in his arms and inserted it, but when he was halfway through, the key was stuck in the keyhole, and it took him a lot of effort to pull it out.
What's going on here? The only key that can be retrieved from the owner's body is this one, and if even this can't open the door to the fifth floor, then whose hand will the key to the fifth floor be?
Just as he was puzzled by the door, heavy footsteps came from the staircase, and it was supposed to be a man.
Ouyang Huaiyu subconsciously looked for a position where he could dodge, he had just fallen into a short contemplation, completely forgetting to pay attention to the guards downstairs.
It is said that those who come are not good and those who are good do not come, he has not yet figured out the secret of the pagoda, and he must not be captured alive here.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his sideburns, Ouyang Huaiyu couldn't find a place to hide, there was no way to enter the fifth layer, and he didn't have any way out.
At this moment, the footsteps were getting closer, and with a low laugh, he tightened his breathing.
"Don't hide anymore, you can't hide."
Huang Huatian appeared at the spiral staircase like a ghost, with a triumphant smile on his face, which made Ouyang Huaiyu feel unhappy.
After all, this is the other party's territory, he is familiar with all the passages and routes in the pagoda, and it is not a problem to trap Ouyang Huaiyu.
"I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to the pagoda, this is the top priority of the East Island, and the security is also very strict, you came alone, probably with the determination to die, right?"
He hooked his thin lips and smiled faintly, his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were gently raised, and he looked at the former good friend in front of him.
