Chapter 430: The Woman in the Secret Room

Before Qiao Ran learned how to become a qualified killer, he had learned various mechanisms and labyrinth cracking techniques in the Guigu Pavilion, and Han Mo had also read countless military books and knew a lot about various mechanisms.

The two of them took a closer look at the furnishings around them, and finally their eyes fell on one of the stones where the water of the waterfall fell and slapped at the same time.

Compared to the other stones around, the surface of the stone was smooth, and there was no slippery feeling of being soaked in water for a long time.

It can be seen that someone often moves this stone.

Han Mo held the stone and turned it gently, and the stone door behind him turned slightly, revealing a gap half a meter wide.

After the two walked into the stone gate, the stone door slowly closed.

In front of me is a narrow stone staircase, and on both sides of the wall are hung retro and beautiful lamps, emitting a faint orange glow.

Qiao Ran knew at a glance that those lights were traps, and if he accidentally touched them, he might be shot by the trap and die.

At this moment, the woman's faint whimper came again.

The clear woman's cry let Qiao Ran know that the direction of his previous suspicion was not wrong.

Behind the waterfall mountain, which seems to be a landscape, there is a secret that no one knows.

The two of them carefully walked down the stone steps, carefully dodging what might have been a trap on the wall, and after a few turns, they came to a wide underground chamber.

The woman's crying also quietly stopped at this time.

In the huge secret room, there are all kinds of exquisite antique ornaments.

Guzheng, pipa, chessboard, and a study made of stones, on which are placed pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

There are all kinds of ancient ink paintings hanging on the wall of the secret room, which is so amazing to see.

Han Mo observed the environment in the secret room to see if there was any danger, while Qiao Ran was attracted by the paintings hanging on the wall.

When she walked to the picture and saw the signature on the painting, her eyes couldn't help but be shocked.

Every painting hung here is signed - Hsinchu Layman!

Twenty years ago, Hsinchu Jushi moved the world art world with a painting "Bamboo Wind and Dust" at the World Famous Painting Exhibition.

Bamboo is known as a symbol of the gentleman, throughout the ages, there are countless people who paint bamboo, but the "Bamboo Wind and Dust" painted by Hsinchu monks is a picture-in-picture in ancient landscape paintings.

You can see different fireworks in each small bamboo leaf, which amazes the eyes of the world.

Hsinchu Jushi's first famous painting "Bamboo Wind and Dust" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 30 million.

In the following 20 years, he published one painting every year, and each auction price was more than 100 million yuan.

But he couldn't see the end of the dragon, and for so many years, no one knew his real name, whether it was male or female.

Looking at the stunning paintings on the wall, Qiao Ran was shocked.

Could it be that the Hsinchu monks were placed under house arrest by the Jiang family?

Just as Qiao Ran was admiring the painting in front of him, a painting depicting a bustling street, somewhat similar to the Qingming Riverside Map, attracted Qiao Ran's attention.

The painting is made up of houses, and on the streets, each house has a different landscape.

There are people in the streets and alleys who set up stalls, some people carry burdens, and they sell things in the streets and alleys.

There are vendors weighing the pounds, there are buyers taking money to buy things, and there are all kinds of fireworks in the world.

And inside the house, there are two old people sitting on chairs, choosing vegetables around the table, with a loving and happy smile on their faces washed by the same years.

Some are young couples swinging in the courtyard, and some are children frolicking and chasing in the courtyard.

In the picture of children playing, there is a bird with a beautiful colored ball hooked at its feet, hovering over the water of a water-spraying rockery pool.

A topless child in shorts stepped into the fake pool and looked at the birds with a bright and innocent smile on his face.

Qiao Ran's heart shrank suddenly when he saw this picture, this child wearing a diaper and stepping into the water with one foot, if the adults didn't find out in time, what would be the consequences?

"What is so fascinating to see?" Han Mo walked behind Qiao Ran, his eyes also looked at the painting in front of him, and when he saw the payment, his dark eyes were shocked: "These paintings are actually mysterious, low-key, no one knows what kind of Hsinchu monks paint their true faces, these are all paintings that have not appeared on the market, could it be that the Hsinchu monks are under house arrest here by the Jiang family?" But we heard crying outside, and how could we not find anyone in here? ”

Qiao Ran stretched out his hand and pointed to the little boy in shorts standing in front of the waterfall pool: "Is this picture very similar to what you imagined before?" ”

Only then did Han Mo notice the subtleties of the whole painting, the picture of a small child falling into the pool with one foot.

Han Mo raised his head and took a closer look at the painting in front of him called "Dust and Fire in the World", and his eyes were suddenly startled.

"Looking at the layout of Zhengshi Street these days, I am familiar with the layout of these houses, although the houses are presented in an ancient architectural style.

But the layout of these houses is what Zhengshi Street looks like now! Han Mo pointed to a house in the distance, and the rockery in the fountain pool of the house where the child was attracted by the birds: "The person who drew the picture changed the scenery in the courtyards of both sides, and if it was changed, it would be the child standing in front of the fountain pool with a rockery, not in front of the waterfall rockery."

Moreover, the children in this courtyard are all wearing ancient clothes, and this child is wearing a modern child's diaper, which means that the author is expressing what to the people who look at the painting? ”

Qiao Ran looked carefully for a while and found that the child was indeed not wearing ancient shorts, but a diaper with a duckling pattern painted on the waist.

Because the use of colors is so vivid, it makes people look like they are wearing shorts at a glance.

Qiao Ran took a picture of the painting with his mobile phone, and then looked at the huge secret room.

"Didn't you find any signs of other secret rooms?"

Han Mo shook his head: "I checked it carefully just now, and I didn't find any other echoes in the secret room. ”

Qiao Ran walked to the stone table where the rice paper was placed, and saw that there was no painting on the rice paper, but there was still wet ink on the brush on the inkstone, indicating that someone had just touched the brush not long ago.

If there is no other secret room, then there must be someone hiding here in this secret room in front of you.

Because the person who lived here was supposed to be an antique painter, in addition to some exquisite antique objects, there were also various vases with different flowers inserted in them for painting.

In one of the large blue and white porcelain jars, there were several lotus leaves, and a few delicate lotus flowers bloomed on it to attract Qiao Ran's attention.

Qiao Ran and Han Mo glanced at each other and walked towards the blue and white porcelain jar.

Qiao Ran was just about to reach out to take the lotus flower inside, but was pulled behind him by Han Mo, and he faced the uncertain risk by himself.

Han Mo quickly pulled up the lotus leaf, and Qiao Ran behind saw a hand holding the lotus leaf stem appear above the water.

Sure enough, just as Qiao Ran thought, someone hid in the water tank where lotus flowers were raised, and used the lotus leaf pole to breathe and hide in the water tank.

Han Mo quickly grasped the hand and forcefully lifted the owner of the hand to the surface.

"Ah......h

"I sleep obediently, don't hit me, don't hit me......"

I saw a woman with black and long hair covering her face, screaming frantically trying to break free of Han Mo's hand, and her voice made people feel desperate when they heard it.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you!" Han Mo said in a warm voice.

Hearing Han Mo's voice, the woman stopped struggling, and slowly lifted the wet hair in front of her with trembling hands.
