Chapter 29: Lu Hou's Secret
Soon Beihe returned to his abode and sat on a high seat again.
At this moment, he just groaned for a moment, and then suppressed the sigh in his heart. I saw him take off the package on his back and put it in his hand.
Looking at the gray cloth package in his hand, his face showed a positive color.
The gray cloth package is the size of a human head, and the weight is not light.
This thing has been brought back by Lu Hou since he was just brought back by Lu Hou, and Lu Hou has let him carry it on his back every time he goes out. Although Bei He knew that this package was precious to Lu Hou, he didn't know what it was.
As for Lu Hou asking him to carry such an important thing on his back, the reason is very simple, just for convenience. For those who practice martial arts, everything on their bodies is a burden and constraint.
It's just that now that Lu Hou is dead, it can be said that this package has become a relic, and as Lu Hou's eldest disciple, this thing naturally belongs to him.
With more than ten years of curiosity, Beihe took a breath, and then loosened the gray cloth on the package and untied it layer by layer.
What finally appeared in front of him was a rectangular flat box.
The object has a regular shape, like a miniature version of a coffin. To Beihe's surprise, this box is cold to the touch, and the whole is emerald green, which is a jade box.
The box made of jade, he has never seen it before, not to mention the things in the jade box, the jade box itself alone is worth a lot of money.
Because of this, Beihe became more and more curious about the contents of the jade box. I don't know what kind of treasure it is, it's worth using a jade box.
But when he tried to open the jade box, he found that ordinary methods did not work, as if the jade box was sealed, or that there was some mechanism inside. And this is also in line with Lu Hou's usual methods.
Beihe looked over and over again, and finally found a small hole on the side of the jade box, which seemed to be the place where the key was inserted.
At this point, he knew it.
After looking at the jade box for a while, Beihe put it aside.
It seems that this thing really can't be opened without a key. Lu Hou will put this thing on him, not only because Beihe does not dare to open it, but also because this thing has no key and cannot be opened.
As for whether to forcibly open this thing, the thought just arose, and Beihe shook his head and put it away.
At this moment, he subconsciously set his eyes on Lu Hou's room.
I saw him get up, walk towards Lu Hou's room, and push the door in.
Stepping into the dimly lit room, you will be greeted by two rows of bookshelves on the left and right walls, filled with various books, and some bamboo slips that look like they are some years old.
Bei He just glanced at it, and then cast his gaze directly ahead, a hidden curtain. Behind the curtain is Lu Hou's living room.
Although Beihe had stepped into Lu Hou's room, he had never stepped behind the curtain.
At this moment, he slowly stepped forward and reached out to gently lift the curtain.
I don't know why, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, as if stepping into Lu Hou's living room was stepping into a dangerous unknown secret realm.
After the curtain was opened, although it was dim, Beihe still saw a bed at a glance.
It was a normal bed with pillows and folded bedding.
Beihe walked into it and looked around. In addition to the bed, there is only a wooden cabinet on one side of the bed.
In a dimly lit room, there is no such thing as a candle lamp. In Beihe's opinion, it's just because Lu Hou doesn't need it. For every inch of the room at the moment, I'm afraid Lu Hou knows everything about it, and what he needs is like picking up something.
This is also what this master has taught them, in their own familiar environment, try not to leave any convenience for others other than themselves.
Fortunately, it was daylight at this moment, and Beihe was able to adapt to this dimness. He came to the half-man-high wooden cabinet and reached out to pull the top drawer open.
What caught my eye was actually a silver ticket.
Beihe took it out and counted it, among which there were not only the silver tickets of Zhou Guo, but also those of Feng Guo and Zhao Guo. Counting down, there are tens of thousands of taels.
This is not a small amount, it can be said that with these silver tickets, Beihe can live a good life wherever he wants, and become the existence of the rich party.
He thought that the boxes of silver in the side room were not a small amount, but compared to the silver tickets in his hand, they were still not enough.
And with these silver tickets, he will definitely be able to go further in the martial arts in the future. Poor and rich in martial arts, you must know that the cost of practicing martial arts is extremely huge. In addition to what you eat on weekdays, you also have to make up for it. Not only that, just like Beihe's cultivation of iron sand palms, the medicinal materials used to soak the palms are also extremely expensive and require a long-term supply.
Without the support of huge wealth, it is difficult to go further in the martial arts.
Looking at the thick silver tickets in his hand, Bei He was quite happy in his heart, and after a little thought, he took these silver tickets into his arms.
Then he looked at the second drawer and opened it.
In the second drawer, it appears to be a folded garment.
"Huh?"
After seeing this thing, Beihe looked a little strange.
Intrigued, he picked up the object, and with a shake, it unfolded and appeared in front of him.
It's a robe.
The robe is snow-white and is a man's style. There was no pattern or embroidery on it, only on the chest of the robe, there was a visible stain of blood.
The touch of this thing is extremely smooth and delicate, not only that, but what surprised Beihe the most was that in the dim environment, this robe was actually shining, and it was not an ordinary thing at first glance.
And in his opinion, this thing did not belong to Lu Hou. Except that Lu Hou has always liked cold colors, there is no white thing on his body. The most important thing is that the size of this robe does not quite match the tall Lu Hou. On the contrary, he wore it on his body, which was just right.
After checking this thing for a while, Beihe suddenly thought of something, only to see him pick up the sleeve of his robe and tear it gently.
To his surprise, the robe was intact under his tearing.
As soon as he thought of this, Beihe's eyes flashed. Surprised, he increased his efforts, but then he realized that even with all his strength, he still couldn't tear the object apart.
This time, he was completely shaken.
He is a martial artist of the power realm, and his strength is unimaginable to ordinary people, but he can't tear a robe apart, which makes people not surprised.
Beihe, who was shaking in his heart, finally folded the object again, put it in a drawer, and closed the drawer instead.
He didn't know who this robe belonged to, but since Lu Hou treasured this thing, plus the blood on the chest of the robe, and this thing couldn't even be damaged by him, it came from a strange origin at a glance.
For the sake of caution, he would not carry this robe with him, let alone have the idea of wearing it out.
In the end, Beihe set his sights on the third drawer, and the third and last drawer.
With a grinding sound, he opened the third drawer.
I saw a black mass lying in it, which looked like a crumpled cloth bag.
Beihe picked up this thing, and unexpectedly, it was heavy. When I put it in front of me, it was indeed a cloth bag, which was oval-shaped, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, the size of a human head.
And this cloth bag turned out to be closed, and he couldn't find any gaps. Only at the very top, there is a small gap.
Unlike ordinary cloth bags, this gap seems to be sealed with thread at first glance, but Beihe can't find any traces of the seam at all, and he can't open this gap.
In addition, this object, like the white robe before, could not be damaged by his strength at all. Not only that, but he also had the feeling that this strange cloth bag seemed to be stronger than the robe.
Playing with this thing for a while, Beihe even shook it a little, trying to hear the sound.
But there was no sound inside the bag, and although he could be sure that the bag contained something, he didn't know what it was, and it was soft under kneading.
This object can be said to have completely aroused Beihe's interest, but after a long time, he still put down this cloth bag, but he didn't know what to do with it.
In his opinion, this cloth bag and the robe just now should be forged from some kind of precious silk, which even ordinary warriors can't damage, and it seems that nine times out of ten it belongs to the imperial court of a certain country.
After shaking his head, Beihe put the cloth bag back in its place.
Not finding the key in the drawer, he set his sights on the bed. Then he stepped forward and began to search carefully.
In the end, Beihe even lifted the bedding, but still found nothing.
His gaze unconsciously shifted around him, and then he began to move around the room only, occasionally tapping his knuckles against the walls or the floor.
Lu Hou can be said to have extremely high attainments in the mechanism, not only the secret passage in the side room, but even the huge box that Mo Du carried on his back at the beginning, all of which were built by him.
Therefore, if there was anything in Lu Hou's room, Bei He would not find it strange.
At a certain moment, when the carefully searched Beihe River hit a boxy stone floor on the ground, only the sound of "dong dong" was heard.
Hearing this, Beihe was overjoyed, and then began to continue searching in the room. Finally, Beihe grasped a decorative wooden stake at the head of the bed, and turned it vigorously, and heard the sound of "click".
As he watched, the stone floor before sank down and slid away with a thud.
Beneath the stone slab is a rectangular space that is not too large, like a dark grid.
When he fixed his eyes on them, his face suddenly changed.
In this rectangular space, a man is lying.
