After all, the ancient scroll is a very important thing, so the place where it is placed will not be casual, but a specially built place, but only the master of the Water Mansion will know.

But the people of Shuifu know that if they don't have a key and a map, they can't go to that secret room.

Someone once found out the location of the scroll and stole it, and finally died in the secret room.

However, taking a group of people to the secret room like this is the first time since Shuifu got the ancient scroll.

Therefore, after several lords found out, they rushed over to intercept them halfway, but the old lady didn't listen at all, moved out of the two princes, and resolutely walked to the secret room.

At the intersection of the secret room, in the rockery of a garden in front of the old lady's yard, there is pond water everywhere, and a rockery stands there, and outsiders only know that it is suppressed by feng shui, but they don't know that there is something else underneath.

Everyone took a small boat and climbed the rockery, led by the old lady, and entered one by one with torches from the entrance.

Qu Youying has been following Mu Jingzhu very carefully, she saw all the surrounding environment and details in her eyes as she walked, but because of the two princes in front of her and the narrow passage, she still couldn't see what was happening in front of her, so she had to walk forward silently.

It took about a cup of tea to get to the position.

The old lady raised his hand to touch the mechanism, but at this time, Jiang Tong said, "Taijun wait a minute." This is the second line of defense, in order to avoid suspicion, we still avoid it first, wait for the door to open, and then look, Taijun, what do you think? ”

The jade key is the key to open the first door on the rockery. Because everyone has seen that key, there is no intention of avoiding suspicion.

But this second way is different, although the old lady did not raise any objections, but the few masters behind him had that meaning, but because the two princes were there, they were embarrassed to speak, so they could only move forward.

Now, as soon as Jiang Tong said this, several masters nodded in agreement, and even King Yi on the side also said, "What the ninth brother said is that we should avoid it first." ”

Saying that, he took a few steps back, turned his back to the old lady, Jiang Tong did the same, and then everyone else did the same.

They all looked at the head of the person in front of them and didn't move.

Qu Youying wanted to look back, because behind her, there were only two princes, and if they didn't follow the rules, no one in front of them would be able to find out.

But she only had that meaning, and she was held down on the head.

"Don't be naughty!"

Jiang Tong leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smile.

Qu Youying's face was unhappy, and she went to the side of Mu Jingzhu's body, and Mu Jingzhu took the opportunity to hug her head and waved Jiang Tong's head away.

Jiang Tong smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, only heard a "click" behind him, and then the sound of something heavy opening with the mechanism.

"Everyone, it's okay."

With the call of the old lady, everyone turned around and saw that the stone wall at the end was open, and there was no extra passage inside, but a box was placed.

The box was placed on a circular platform, and there seemed to be nothing around, but the old lady took out a pair of gloves from his bosom and put them on.

When the box is removed from the platform, the stone wall closes automatically.

"The stuff is here, let's go out first!"

Qu Youying thought that the old lady brought them here to look at the ancient scrolls directly, but how did she know that she was just bringing them to pick them up?

If it's just to take, do you need so many people together?

Vaguely, she sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't say anything, and walked out with the pace of everyone, returning to the old lady's courtyard again.

The old lady asked Qinghe to bring a table, put the box on the table, and did not open it.

But the box was not locked.

"Two princes, what is in here is the ancient scroll of Shangshu."

Qu Youying was moved, she still felt a little strange so far, is this ancient scroll really still there? If not, why did the old lady choose to take it out at this time? What the hell is she having?

The old lady sat on the first seat, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Today, the old body is going to use this ancient scroll to elect the next head of the water mansion." ”

At the mention of this, everyone's eyes automatically focused on Shui Wuze and Shui Linze's bodies, but because Shui Hitomi was also there, someone also looked at him.

There was only Qu Youying, and her attention slowly fell on the pair of gloves that the old lady casually put on the desk.

If she was not mistaken, the gloves should have been made of thousand-year-old silk.

The old lady wore gloves to take the box, and there was no lock on the box, which could only mean that something was placed on the box, and touching it with bare hands would most likely be harmful to the body, so only with special things to take it would work.

She didn't know if other people knew this, and when she was thinking about how to choose the head of the family based on this thing alone, the old lady continued to speak.

"There are three men in Shuifu now, which of you will go first? The rules are very simple, open the box, whoever can take out the contents is the head of the house. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest man had an opinion, "Mother, is this method different from that year?" ”

"Yes, back then, I directly took out the ancient scrolls and spread them on the desk, who can see the mystery, who is the head of the family!"

The third master also spoke, only the fourth master did not speak, and his eyes and nose and heart chose to be silent.

"I set the rules, and I say what I do." The old lady's voice was raised, and his eyes wandered around the third brother's grandson, "Shui Putongze, Shui Mistze, Shui Linze, the three of you, who will go first?" Don't prevaricate and let others see the joke! ”

Originally, whoever put it wanted to go first, but this time, even the water mist that had always wanted to be the head of the family didn't move.

Because everything was different from what he had heard from his father.

The only three remaining masters in Shuifu are all people who have read the ancient scrolls, but they all have different opinions about the things inside, which is not surprising, it is strange why the old lady not only let Shui Tongze participate, but also changed the rules!

Especially the former, which makes Shui Wuze very unconvinced.

But there are some things that he can't say, after all, from beginning to end, the old lady didn't say that Shui Tongze would lose the right to run for election, but the old lady didn't like him on weekdays, so it would give people the illusion.

But right now, Shui Tongze is in the roll call, and it is clear that he has the right to run.

Shui Wuze and Shui Lin Ze have been fighting in secret for so many years, how could they be preempted by Cheng Yanjin, who suddenly killed?

Therefore, after being silent for a while, he got up and arched his hand to the old lady and the two princes, before saying, "Grandma, the two princes, Wu Ze feels that it should be ranked according to seniority and regarded as respect, so Wu Ze feels that the eldest brother should go first. ”

"Huh." Before his words fell, Shui Linze replied with a laugh.

Shui Mize's face changed slightly, and he said, "Fourth brother, what does this smile mean?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that the third brother still remembers that we have a big brother."

Shui Linze is that character, he dares to provoke thorns in front of anyone, and he dares to pretend to be innocent in front of anyone.

Shui Wuze looked at him serving tea and drinking water, and his teeth itched with hatred in his heart.

But what he said couldn't be easily retracted, and when the old lady didn't object, he looked in the direction of Shui Tongze and said, "Big brother, you invite first." ”

Shui Tongze's status in Shuifu was originally very low, and he was generally in front of everyone, although he was the eldest prince, he was the same as a concubine.

Shui Wuze's words naturally opened him up in front of people.

After all, the method formulated by the old lady this time was too weird, and no one dared to try it rashly before there were no clues.

Shui Hitomi Ze raised his eyes slowly, and his gaze fell on Shui Mist's body without any waves, and when Shui Hitomi Ze was hairy all over his body when Shui Mitsuzawa was seen by him, Shui Hitomi Ze got up from the chair.

He didn't salute the old lady and the two princes, let alone speak, but just walked straight to the box and stopped.

After walking around the box, he suddenly walked up to the old lady, arched his hand, and said not very respectfully, "I need gloves." ”

The old lady didn't react to his actions, but handed him the gloves on the desk.

Instead of putting on the gloves, Mizutozawa spread them flat in the palm of his hand and went to open the box.

This act was undoubtedly the first person to eat the crab, so almost everyone present craned their necks to see what was inside.

But Shui Tongze just opened the box, took a look, closed it, and then returned the gloves to the old lady, walked to the position and sat down silently, without saying a word from beginning to end.

The old lady looked at him and suddenly said, "Next." ”

Shui Wuze just said that he came according to his seniority, but in fact, in addition to wanting to explore the wind, he just wanted to see Shui Tongze make a fool of himself, how did he know that he would do this?

It made him even more weird.

"Grandma, he didn't take out the contents just now, does it mean that he is not qualified?"

"Regardless of others, you come."

The old lady didn't answer his question directly, but after saying that, Shui Wuze would inevitably attend no matter what.

But at this time, Shui Linze put down the teacup in his hand and stood up from the chair.

He smiled and said to the old lady, "Grandma, can you let your grandson come first?" ”

The old lady looked at him and nodded.

Shui Linze walked decisively to the box, and smiled at Shui Wuze outside, "Third brother, I'm sorry!" ”

Instead of taking gloves, he went to open the box with his bare hands.

Qu Youying saw it and wanted to stop it, but was restrained by Mu Jingzhu.

Mu Jingzhu shook her head at her, and Qu Youying had no choice but to give up, but she firmly believed that there must be something on the box.

"Then I'll do it!"

is not as dull as Shui Putomi, Shui Linze is very lively, he seems to have touched the surroundings of the box with both hands, but in fact, he opened the lid with internal force.

Similarly, for the contents of the box, he waved one hand above the box, seemingly probing inside, but in fact he came out empty-handed, and then closed the box.

"Grandma, I'm done."

The old lady nodded, and Shui Linze returned to his seat, continued to drink tea, and did not do anything about the gaze cast by Shui Wuze.

"Kirisawa, it's your turn."

Shui Mist Ze is the last one, no matter what he thinks in his heart, this time he must bite the bullet.

Qu Youying was not far from him, and he could clearly see the cold sweat on his forehead, because he hadn't explored what was going on in the box in the first two rounds, so he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he reacted like this!

Such a person reacts so badly to the unknown situation in his heart, Qu Youying feels that he may have participated in the previous events, but he will not know the whole process.

Mu Jingzhu's eyes were deep, and he also noticed this, and when he turned his head, he made eye contact with her, and they both explored the information from each other's eyes.

Mu Jingzhu nodded, motioning for her to continue looking.

Qu Youying looked at Shui Mist's appearance, and she was also a little excited, she was looking forward to what kind of reaction Shui Mist would have.
