Opening a brocade box on the bookcase, Ye Chen vaguely recognized the seal carving on the big seal.

"General Zhenguo."

Shen Jiahui leaned over to Ye Chen and looked at it, "It's really the Great Seal of the General." Look, what else seems to be pressed under this box? ”

Gently moving away from the brocade box where the big seal was stored, Ye Chen saw a geological exploration note from the late Qing Dynasty.

"I didn't expect it to be bilingual in Manchu and Chinese. Dad, our ancestors are not simple. ”

Ye Jianguo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said timidly: "This is fortunate to be the ancestral industry handed down by our ancestors. Otherwise, with the things here, any one thing that is thrown out is enough to kill the head. ”

"The ancestral hall enshrines the tablets of our ancestors, and this courtyard has been passed down to us for many generations. History is the basis, and no one will say that our family steals and excavates cultural relics. ”

"Then do you want to convene a meeting of the villagers to study and study?"

Shen Jiahui immediately stopped: "Don't." The secret here has just been discovered, and if it is revealed to the public, it will surely attract the eyes of the villagers. ”

"Dad, I have an idea. After the village is rebuilt, I want to restore the whole picture of the Ye family compound and create an art museum. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Since the ancestor has revised the literature and wants to hide it in the city, then we can't go against the will of the ancestor.

An art museum was established to promote the tourism industry of Taohua Village.

Inside, let's protect the treasure house and store the treasures that our family has collected outside. ”

Ye Jianguo pondered for a long time, and bowed to the four-clawed python throne where his ancestor had sit.

"I'm getting older, and sooner or later this family business will have to be handed over to you. Before the start of construction, worship heaven and earth and ancestors, and bless the smooth and smooth project. ”

Ye Chen responded: "My son remembers." ”

"I'll go out for a cigarette, and you two will take your time."

Shen Jiahui walked to the bookshelf and stopped, there was a marching codex when the ancestor led the Eight Banners Army into the customs in the early years, although many words on it could not be understood, but looking at this neat penmanship, it was full of the spirit of a king.

In a scroll jar where calligraphy and paintings were stored, Shen Jiahui saw a lot of beautifully framed calligraphy and paintings.

There are works of the ancients, and there are also rewards from the Qing court with the imperial seal, each of which is exquisite.

Ye Chen walked to the weapon rack, picked up a long sword inlaid with jewels and played with it, "This long sword has some weight, if you haven't practiced martial arts, you may not be able to use this sharp blade." ”

Shen Jiahui found the architectural drawings of the entire underground fortifications in the roll tank.

"Look what I found."

Ye Chen was overjoyed, "It turns out that this is the panorama of the underground fortifications of the Ye family's compound." The layout of this connecting mountain range is really offensive and defensible. Why is there no part of the flower market street that connects here? ”

"Is the flower market street connected to the underground fortifications?"

Ye Chen suddenly realized.

"I see. Because of the war, the ancestors dug an air-raid shelter under the flower market street alone to store supplies.

This is roughly the same as what I found when I went down in the morning to explore the path.

Although there is a stone gate connected to the underground fortifications, there is no jade tiger charm to open the stone gate, which will isolate the outside world.

Even if the war invades, it will not implicate the ancestral hall.

It's wonderful. ”

After putting away the map, Ye Chen explained to Shen Jiahui: "You go and see what other drawings there are, and find them all for me." ”

Shen Jiahui stood in front of the cylinder and rummaged, while Ye Chen looked around the other compartments in the secret room.

A room is piled with wooden boxes of various sizes.

One room is stocked with armor and armament.

Approaching the last room, an undulating gray cloth on the ground aroused Ye Chen's curiosity.

Slowly opened, there was a deep tunnel here, and on both sides of the cave entrance were messily placed gold bars and silver dollars.

Enter the tunnel alone, illuminated by a flashlight.

On the wooden shelves that stand beside the walls, gold and silver ingots, as well as countless gold bars, are neatly arranged.

Continuing to get closer, Ye Chen found that there were as many as 20 dark rooms connected by this tunnel, as if it was an underground treasure house.

The flashlight shines on the doorpost of the darkroom, and a cloth bag hangs underneath in the light.

Taking it off casually to inspect it, Ye Chen was shocked by the words recorded on it for a while.

I went into the dark room to find out what was written and found that there was no difference between what was recorded and recorded.

Exit the tunnel.

Ye Chen returned to the main hall of the secret room, only to see Shen Jiahui piling up the suspected map files, calligraphy and paintings on the bookcase.

"What useful clues have you found here?"

Shen Jiahui was startled, calmed down a little, and then explained to Ye Chen: "The files of the ancestors are arranged in an orderly manner according to the age of the year, and I found these drawings and corresponding documents in the order of the time law. ”

Ye Chen, who was a little tired, sat on the four-clawed python throne.

Shen Jiahui suddenly thought that she had seen the ancestors of the Ye family, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Ye Chen, just now I seem to see you sitting here in a late sunny costume to review the folding."

Ye Chen smiled lightly: "It's you who are dazzled." ”

Another visual impact, Shen Jiahui unconsciously gave Ye Chen a full salute.

This time, Ye Chen saw Shen Jiahui's abnormal behavior and immediately came back to his senses.

Immediately he rose from his throne.

didn't bother to take away the drawings on the bookcase, and pulled Shen Jiahui out of the secret room.

Ye Jianguo, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, saw Ye Chen walking out in a panic with his daughter-in-law, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know.

Just now I was a little tired and sat on the four-clawed python throne to rest, and Jiahui said that I was wearing the costume of a late sunny person.

Then she saluted me.

I didn't know what was wrong, so I pulled her and ran outside.

I don't know about the rest. ”

Listening to Ye Chen's statement, Ye Jianguo immediately put away the jade tiger talisman on the stone gate and left with the two of them.

That night, when it was supposed to be snowing, it suddenly rained heavily.

There was a vision in the sky, and Ye Jianguo was worried that he and his son had disturbed the ancestors, so he knelt down three times and bowed to the ancestral tablet at home.

Ye Chen, who was preoccupied with Shen Jiahui, gradually came to his senses and slowly recalled some details in the secret room.

Wall-hung torches?!

After a burst of retching, Ye Chen ran to the yard and washed his face with water violently.

turned around and took a basin of clean water into the house to wipe it for his father and Shen Jiahui at the same time.

After a while, Shen Jiahui regained consciousness, and Ye Chen said in a daze: "Where is this?" ”

"It's home."

"At home?"

Lu Chunfang took care of Shen Jiahui distressedly, "Look at the good things you father and son have done, disturbing the ancestors and affecting Jiahui." ”

Ye Chen blamed himself: "It's all my ghost, and I must find out the secret of the secret room to get into this incident." ”

"Now it's raining heavily outside, and I don't know if it's good or bad."

Seeing the worried look on Lu Chunfang's face, and seeing Shen Jiahui weakly, Ye Chen took the jade tiger talisman and came to the ancestral hall alone.
