Chapter 173: The secret room at the bottom of the tower
"Look." Youyoule spread out the reverse side to Xu Xingji, and said: "There are a few words in the small words 'Emperor He' on the line above, do you quickly see if this image is related to Di He?" ”
Xu Xingji said: "This may really be a volume in the emperor's edict, but I think the things painted on this paper are very sloppy, and it should have nothing to do with the emperor's edict." ”
Xu Xingxian took the paper over and looked at it carefully, and said, "Isn't this the first floor of the Tianshu Tower?" ”
You Youle said: "But isn't there nothing left on the first floor of the Tianshu Tower?" The door painted on this picture is not the same as the one inside the Tianshu Tower. ”
Xu Xingji said: "Could this be a map of the underground secret room?" Could it be that Lei Tianxin has other emperors hiding underground? ”
Youyoule looked at it and said, "This is a floor plan, but I'm really not sure, let's go down and take a look." ”
The two of them went to the ground floor and followed the direction to find the location of the entrance drawn on the paper, but there was nothing in this position, only four broken chair legs, which seemed to have been cut off, but still firmly stuck to the ground, as if they had been embedded in the foundation before the foundation was laid.
Youyou said: "Could this be the mechanism?" ”
Xu Xingji said: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, the leg of this chair was deliberately cut off, there must be something hidden underneath." ”
"But how do you trigger the trap?" You Youle stood on the floor tile, stomped hard, and found that the floor tile was very strong, and there was no reaction at all.
Xu Xingji said: "I remember that there used to be a chair here, could it be that the opening of the mechanism has something to do with the chair?" ”
"Chances are, let's go outside and find a chair to try." ”
The two of them found an old chair in the backyard of Tianshu Tower, which was intended to be burned as firewood, and this chair was placed on a stone brick, almost matching four broken legs.
"What's going on? Is it in the wrong direction? "Youyou're happy.
Xu Xingzhi said: "According to my understanding of Lei Tianxin, I think this chair must have an article, put it in such a conspicuous position on the first floor, maybe the mechanism on this chair can only be opened by him." ”
Xu Xingji stepped on this floor tile and said, "Have you found it, although this floor tile is solid, but when we step on it, it will still float up and down." ”
Youyoule leaned down and saw it carefully, and said, "There is a slight fluctuation up and down, if you don't pay attention, it's hard to notice." ”
Xu Xingji said: "I think this chair may have something to do with Lei Tianxin's weight, I remember that he controls his diet very strictly, and cycles every month, what he eats this month, he must eat next month." ”
You Youle said: "In other words, as long as Lei Tianxin sits on it and the weight is right, this mechanism will be touched?" ”
"That's right." Xu Xingxian sat on the chair and said, "Lei Tianxin should be heavier than me, you go outside and find some bricks, and we'll see if we can trigger this mechanism." ”
Youyoule flipped in and out, and a pile of stones was transported, and one by one they were placed on Xu Xingxi's body, and the stone bricks also floated downward by cent.
"It's not enough, keep adding!" Xu Xingxian felt as if he was sitting on a weighing pan, and the weight on the ruler fluctuated back and forth between the standard weights.
"Good! Stop...... Take it down a little bit......"
Xu Xingji commanded Youyoule, and suddenly felt a slight vibration, the stone bricks sank downward, and a dark passage appeared on the ground!
Xu Xingji stood on the stone brick and looked down, and said, "This is really the secret room, it's a little dark down there, we have to light some torches to go down." ”
The two of them found some wooden sticks, and found some discarded matchboxes by the windowsill, wrapped some flammable silk fabrics around the wooden sticks, lit them, and went down the secret passage.
There is no trace of light in the dark passage, but you can feel a thin wind flow surging in the air, which makes people feel not very depressed, and go down the dark passage, there are almost twenty steps, until they reach the bottom of the secret room, illuminate the surroundings with firelight, and the two found that there is not only an arsenal of weapons below, but also many kinds of precious plants and rare spirit beasts.
The two of them walked through the middle of the secret room, and when they saw the precious goods on this shelf, Xu Xingxian couldn't help but sigh: "This is the family background of Tianshu Pavilion, I didn't expect to be discovered by us today." ”
You Youle said: "Lei Tianxin is dead, and the Tianshu Pavilion is also destroyed, isn't it difficult to see the light of day when so many things are placed here?" ”
Xu Xingji said excitedly: "Why don't we take these things out and sell them, these treasures are rare in the world." ”
Youyou said: "Are you crazy? You take these things out, not afraid of attracting Lei Tianxin's enemies to kill you? I'm afraid that before the things that came out of here were sold, all his enemies would come to the door. ”
Xu Xingxian smacked his lips and said regretfully: "Yes, it's okay to take one or two pieces from here, as long as no one finds out, I'll go and see what treasures are there." ”
You Youle saw Xu Xingji walking towards the other side of the room, and reminded: "Don't go too far, there may be a mechanism or something in this secret room." ”
Xu Xingji said: "I know, I'm on the shelf next door." ”
You Youle looked around and found that this secret room was not too small, opened the drawing and illuminated it with firelight, and suddenly saw a few words in the blurry and messy handwriting: The body of the five elements...... Fire, earth, and machine spirits failed......
This line of writing is very sloppy, as if the writer is very frustrated, looking at the drawing, marked an arrow, the square of the arrow points to the other side of the secret room.
Youyoule looked to the opposite side, and could vaguely see a door opposite the secret room, could it be that there was a body of five elements there? Isn't the body of the five elements the method of the instrument spirit in the emperor's edict? Could it be that there is a secret hidden here?
Youyoule was about to call Xu Xingji to go over and have a look, when he suddenly heard a strange scream, something jumped off the shelf next door, Youyoule hurriedly looked in the direction where Xu Xingxian had gone before, but found that Xu Xingji's torch had disappeared!
In addition to all kinds of cold utensils, that is, the hides of beasts with fierce faces, the whole room was dark, only the torch in his hand flickered slightly, and the cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the wall, as if the torch was about to be blown out at any moment.
"Xu Xingji!" Youyoule called out in a low voice, heard a light cough not far away, and promised, "I'm here!" ”
Youyoule was relieved when he heard Xu Xingji's voice, thinking that he should have accidentally touched something, knocked the torch off, and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly heard another voice in his left ear.
"I'm here!"
The voice was about ten steps away from him, and this voice sounded exactly the same as Xu Xingji, but the directions of the two voices were completely different.
