Chapter 99: Borrowing a Cat to Secretly Cross
The stone staircase is narrow, but after a few steps down, the space opens up for the eye.
At the bottom of the staircase is a square space, about five meters wide, with four pillars, and two square lampstands are placed on the left and right sides of the pillars.
With a flick of his fingers, a few small flames floated past, lighting the candle on Bi Fang's head.
The entire space is illuminated, and a row of pillars can be clearly seen behind the four stone gates.
The stone doors are almost integrated with the wall, and there are no switches next to them, so it is necessary to open these stone doors, just like the ones above.
It's just that she's really not good at mechanism formations.
If you scan it with the system, you can only roughly scan the terrain structure.
I didn't expect a basement to be built so ......
It's like building a small dungeon.
When I heard Father Lin talk about the basement in the public court before, I only thought it was an underground stone room.
At this moment, even if she didn't have any concept of money, she had to be shocked by the Lin family's wealth.
She searched for a while, but to no avail, and finally had to go back and deliver the news to Wei Jiuli.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and he is still needed.
Wei Jiuli didn't expect such a big discovery, so he found an opportunity and entered the study.
He didn't 'grope' for the gate, but stared around for a while at the four pillars and the eight Bifang lampstands.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and began to push the lampstand.
Bai Tang watched from the side, and his face was "revealed" in surprise.
I saw that the lampstands on both sides were moved back and forth from left to right, and I didn't know what the pattern was, but after moving a few times, a circular bump popped up at a meter of the pillar, like a button.
"This kind of mechanism array is called the dot mao, and the time scale can be set according to personal will, and it can be unlocked by moving the set time scale, just like the dot mao." Wei Jiuli saw that she was curious, so he smiled, and while explaining, he went to the second pillar to study it.
Bai Tang thought for a moment and said, "Is it like setting a string of passwords?" ”
"That's right." Wei Jiuli smiled approvingly at her, and he almost "touched" his head and said, "It's so smart."
Bai Tang felt a little strange inexplicably, she subconsciously turned her gaze away, turned back to the second pillar, and asked, "How do you know the password?" I mean the scale at the top. ”
"Of course I don't know." Wei Jiuli didn't know if he was laughed at by her reaction, or if he just wanted to laugh.
Seeing Bai Tang's doubts, he tilted his head slightly, thought for a while, and said, "As you often say, corpses are always the most real, and he will tell you everything you want to know." No matter how perfect these mechanisms are, as long as they are used, they will leave some traces, and they are not obvious when you don't pay attention to them, but it is not difficult to find them if you deliberately observe and look for them, especially this kind of mechanism that has a regular "nature" and is immutable. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the marks on the ground within a distance between the pillar and the Bi Fang.
Bai Tang leaned over to take a look, but didn't see anything, so he reached out to "touch", "touched" for a while, and sure enough, "touched" some doorways up.
Because although the bluestone has been deliberately polished, it still retains a texture that is not glorious, so there are no obvious traces below, but if you carefully "grope", you can find that some textures are different.
"It's a moving track ......"
Bai Tang was half-kneeling next to Wei Jiuli, lowered his body and went over to "grope", and when he turned around, his body had not yet returned to his original position, and he happened to come face to face with Wei Jiuli, who was also looking closer.
The tip of the nose gently brushed the tip of the other party's nose, although he subconsciously leaned back to open up a little distance, but such a close distance still made the two of them stunned, and then the atmosphere became a little strange.
Wei Jiuli coughed lightly, this time it was not an 'accident' that he deliberately made, so he couldn't react for a while, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to 'touch' and 'touch' the tip of his nose that felt a little itchy, but his hand stopped when he reached his nose, which made it even more weird.
Bai Tang immediately stood up and continued the topic just now, "So the password you just unlocked is actually based on these movement tracks?" ”
"Yes." Wei Jiuli saw that she obviously wanted to use a serious thing to divert the embarrassment, but on the contrary, she seemed more deliberate and unconscious, and only felt that it was very cute.
Maybe no one would put this word on the other person, but he felt that there was no adjective more suitable for her than this adjective.
He raised his hand and continued to "grope", and soon untied the second one, and the next two were not difficult.
The four pillars of the lampstand move in different patterns and directions, but each time at the end there is still a circular protrusion.
Each circular protrusion corresponds to a door, and when pressed, the stone door behind it opens.
This time it was Bai Tang's turn to control the wind outside, and she simply told him the structure inside.
However, this time, Wei Jiuli came out not long after he entered, and the other three doors only entered less than half a pillar of incense.
"There are a lot of traces of life in it, there are a few places suitable for placing larger people, presumably the private soldiers usually live in it, but now it is the people who go to the empty building, since you said that there are no soldiers in the back mountain, then there is only one possibility, there is a tunnel in the Lin Mansion, and those private soldiers should have been transferred through the tunnel."
Lin Xianzhi's work is really not leaky, in such a short period of time, not only did he transfer so many private soldiers, but he didn't even leave any clues, no wonder the guards here are not as strict as before.
"Could something be placed in the attic?" Bai Tang asked.
"It's also possible, and the princess should know something." Otherwise, it will not be a cooperation, not a simple call for help.
However, Lin Xianzhi should not have suspected the princess yet, and it seems that this Princess Huixian is not a simple person.
The two of them erased the traces and simply waited in the house for darkness to come.
Lin Xianzhi gently sent the princess back to the room, and watched her rest before leaving the room.
As soon as he went out, the gentle smile on his face immediately disappeared, and with a frightening coldness in his eyes, he glanced at the two guards guarding the door in a low voice, and said in a deep voice, "Protect the princess, don't put in the idlers." ”
"Yes." The two guards were busy.
Princess Huixian was resting in bed, and the room was filled with the smell of condensing incense, which made people drowsy, but the two maids guarding outside the curtain were like two stone statues, not the slightest sleepy, and seemed to be completely immune to condensing incense.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the outer window.
The two maids immediately stared at each other and looked over there.
"I'll take a look." One of the maids got up and walked briskly outside, raising her hand to 'touch' the dagger in her sleeve pocket.
"Meow~" On the table by the window, a raccoon cat was not afraid when it saw someone appearing, but barked sweetly and greasy at the maid as if flattering.
When the maid saw the cat, her frowning brows immediately relaxed, although she was still a little suspicious, but she didn't pay much attention, just muttered, "Why is this cat running around." ”
