Chapter 205: The Mystery of the Dragon Bed
But these made Sima Hongyan look particularly disgusted! Because there are too many patterns, densely packed. That's not enough, there are many places inlaid with various pearls, gemstones, and night pearls. Usually it looks pretty beautiful, but if you're looking for something on it, these embellishments are superfluous!
Because it was impossible to determine whether the magnet could really completely restrain that evil force, Yan Hong had been guarding behind Sima Hongyan to protect her safety, and at this time, seeing that Sima Hongyan had stayed on the dragon bed for a long time without any abnormality, he was calm, so he walked up and half-knelt on the dragon bed and squeezed together with Sima Hongyan to check the bed circumference on the right side of the dragon bed.
The bed circumference of Emperor Yanzhen's bed is higher than that of ordinary beds, and countless auspicious clouds and a majestic dragon are carved on it. This dragon is carved lifelike, hovering in the auspicious clouds with teeth and claws, which is particularly powerful. The dragon's eyes were made of two gemstones of average size, and even when the room was dim, the two dragon's eyes were shining brightly, as if they were alive.
Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hongdao: "You said that the bed where the emperor slept was inlaid with so many pearls and gemstones, how could he sleep looking at these glittering things at night?" ”
Listening to Sima Hongyan commenting on the emperor's private affairs, Yan Hong said: "We can't comment on the emperor's affairs, let's find that thing quickly." After a pause, he said: "Hongyan, you don't care about anything, you can say whatever you want, be careful that if you talk too much in the future, you will lose!" ”
Sima Hongyan touched it here, pressed it there, and replied casually: "Isn't it just the two of us here, what can we talk about?" Besides, we are staying in the emperor's bed now, how embarrassing it would be if we didn't speak! ”
Yan Hong was stunned, he didn't think about it so much. At this time, he was reminded by Sima Hongyan, and he also realized that it was indeed indecent for him and Sima Hongyan to be crowded on the same bed, and it was not good to hear it out, so he hurriedly jumped out of bed.
As soon as he moved, he was grabbed by Sima Hongyan. Sima Hongyan said with a smile: "I'm just joking, are you serious?" Don't waste time, help me find it together. ”
Sima Hongyan doesn't seem to care about the etiquette between men and women, and never takes it seriously, Yan Hong is a little uncomfortable, but this feeling is very comfortable, because subconsciously Yan Hong thinks that Sima Hongyan regards himself as his own. This kind of trust is hard to come by!
The two of them searched for half an hour, and checked all the inlaid gems one by one, and there was nothing unusual about them.
Yan Hong continued to look for it, and Sima Hongyan stopped, sat on the side, and pondered alone. On the surface, there is nothing special about the bed circumference, and there is nothing special. But Sima Hongyan knew that the secret was actually hidden here, but why couldn't he find anything?
Sima Hongyan went to observe this exquisite and luxurious bed fence again, thinking that there must be something else he had overlooked.
"If I'm the murderer and I'm going to set up a killing device here, what will I do?" Sima Hongyan changed his perspective and tried to imagine it from the psychology of the murderer.
"If I were the murderer, I wouldn't choose these gems, because although there are many of them, they are also conspicuous, and if the people who come to search must first start examining these dazzling things, it is easy to expose and the risk is too great." Sima Hongyan thought so in his mind.
Shifting his gaze to the wood carving, Sima Hongyan found that the wood used in this bed maintained its original color, but a layer of transparent protective paint was brushed on the outside, so that the entire dragon bed maintained the original dark red color of the wood.
"The bigger the area, the easier it is to hide, and if it were me, I would definitely hide things in the most ordinary and conspicuous place, and the least likely place to be discovered." Sima Hongyan looked at the dark red bed and thought to himself: "The emperor's bedroom is naturally guarded by guards all day long, and you must be quick to do things here, otherwise you will definitely be discovered if you delay a little." And you have to take things away afterwards, and it's impossible to destroy anywhere around the bed. Since I want this to happen unnoticed, I'll ......"
Thinking of this, Sima Hongyan had an idea. She pulled Yan Hong out of bed, and then walked back and forth in the house by herself, rummaging around and looking, not knowing what she was looking for. Yan Hong saw Sima Hongyan rummaging around, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?" Sima Hongyan replied without replying: "I need a flat thing!" ”
At every critical moment, Sima Hongyan will always have a whim, Yan Hong has already adapted to it, he didn't ask Sima Hongyan why he was looking for such a thing, his eyes swept in the room, pointed to the tray on the table used to place the tea set and said to Sima Hongyan: "That tea tray is silver, the bottom is relatively flat, do you think that is okay?" ”
Sima Hongyan followed Yan Hong's point to the tea tray, picked up the tea set inside, grabbed the tray and turned it over to look at it carefully, and stroked it with his hand before smiling: "That's it!" ”
Then Sima Hongyan jumped back on the bed with the tray, holding the tray and pressing the flat bottom on the top of the bed. Although Yan Hong was curious, he didn't ask, just stared at Sima Hongyan's movements.
Sima Hongyan held the tray and began to slowly move sideways from left to right on the bed, and when he reached the end of the right side, he moved the tray down a piece, and then slid it from right to left.
Both of them remained quiet at this time, except for the slight friction sound of the tray in Sima Hongyan's hand sliding on the bedside. Until the tray moved down to the middle and lower part of the bed, with a soft "click", the tray suddenly stopped sliding, as if it was blocked by something.
Sima Hongyan said "Huh", in order to confirm, he held the tray back and forth and slid a few times, making sure that it was blocked by the same place, so he threw the tray back with a happy face and stroked the bulge that blocked the tray from sliding.
It is indeed Sima Hongyan's style to find something unusual in a strange way, Yan Hong stayed next to her and didn't bother her, but out of nowhere he conjured a small dagger and handed it to Sima Hongyan, Sima Hongyan caught it.
What Sima Hongyan thought of just now was that such a beautiful carving must be carved after grinding and smoothing the whole piece of wood, and if there is something more on it, the height must be more than the original wood, so as long as you find out the place that is more protruding than other places, you will definitely be able to find the secret. That's why she went around looking for something flat to measure the surface of the entire bed. Sure enough, there really is such a place!
The place found by Sima Hongyan is carved with an auspicious cloud, and the place where Sima Hongyan's fingers touch is the middle pattern of this auspicious cloud. Such auspicious cloud patterns abound throughout the pattern of the bed, and there are countless of them, and it is indeed extremely difficult to find if the secret is hidden here.
Sima Hongyan first knocked on it with the handle of the knife, feeling a little loose, and then inserted the tip of the knife into the seam and gently picked it, and a small piece of something the size of a fingernail fell off. Sima Hongyan carefully pinched it up, held it up with one finger and took a closer look in front of him, and found that the appearance and color of this little thing was exactly the same as the original appearance on the bed surround, and there was no change in the bed circumference at this time, it seemed that this thing was deliberately disguised as the same color and appearance as the bed circumference.
I didn't expect that what I found was so small, judging from the feel, it should also be wooden, but the weight is heavier than the same volume of wood. Sima Hongyan turned over the small convex wooden block with the tip of a knife, and found that there seemed to be two black things glued to the back of this thing. Yan Hong also leaned over to take a look, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Those are two small magnets!" ”
Sima Hongyan said: "It seems that the magnet is indeed the most effective thing to restrain the evil power, but I can't imagine that such two small magnets can also work, I want to see what kind of ghost is hidden under this magnet!" ”
Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hong to help free up a tabletop, and then put the small wooden block on the table with the magnet tied around his waist. In order to prevent the magnets from attracting each other, Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hong to help pull the two ends of the belt.
To make sure that the thing was completely within the range of the magnetic field, Sima Hongyan sat down, gently scraped off the adhesive sticking to the surface of the two small magnets with the tip of the knife, glanced at Yan Hong, and then pried it with the tip of the knife, and the two small black magnets fell on the table with a "click".
