Chapter 195: Hidden Compartment
After the meal, Feng Yang and Mei'er came to the attic that Tie Han said, and Feng Yang had already decided that the attic should be Huang Hao's residence. Hopefully, I can find an antidote or a recipe for a miracle from there.
Built in the Jiangnan style, this loft has three floors, with carved beams and paintings throughout, and the floor on the first floor is paved with white and flawless white jade. In the center of the back wall facing the door on the first floor is a thick rosewood bookcase, on which are placed the four treasures of the study. Behind the bookcase is the same rosewood Taishi chair. On the wall behind hangs a calligraphy with gold powder writing 'Kunpeng spreads its wings', and a silver hook iron painting runs through the back of the paper. On both sides of the bookcase, there are two rows of mahogany bookshelves, which are neatly and orderly filled with various books. To the left of the attic door is a rosewood table of eight immortals and four rosewood drum chairs. There is a tall flower table by the back window, and a pot of pine and cypress pots is placed on the flower table. On the opposite wall of the table of the Eight Immortals is a mahogany bogu shelf, on which a variety of antiques are placed. The attic reveals a strong atmosphere of elegance and nobility.
Feng Yang They did not step on the second floor, but walked slowly to the bookcase, an open box of sandalwood prayer beads attracted Feng Yang's attention, he couldn't help but reach out to pick up the box and take a closer look, only to see that the sandalwood rosary in the box was already dark and shiny, which showed that it had been used for some years. Feng Yang counted it and saw that it was one hundred and twenty-seven sandalwood beads, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "How is the number of these rosary beads one hundred and twenty-seven?
Mei'er had a confused look on her face after seeing Feng Yang's sandalwood beads on the side, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong Brother Yang?
Feng Yang heard Mei'er's question, and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think it's a little strange." ”
Mei'er was even more curious when she heard this, so she took the sandalwood beads, looked at them, and said, "Why can't I see any difference from those used by monks and Taoists?"
Feng Yang smiled and said, "It's not the beads, it's the number of beads in this box." ”
"What's wrong with the number of beads?" asked Mei'er, even more confused.
Feng Yang looked at Mei'er and smiled: "You are very arrogant all day, and there is nothing that you can pay attention to." The number of beads in this box is one hundred and twenty-seven, and the monks generally hang one hundred and eight around their necks and thirty-three beads in their hands. The rosary used by the Taoist priest is eighty-one. Isn't it a little strange that this box of beads is no more than one hundred and two and seven pieces?" Of course, he wouldn't know that this string of beads was originally one hundred and twenty-eight, and it was used by Huang Hao to destroy the hexagrams. When the prayer bead was spread out the day before yesterday, a bead was pinched in Huang Hao's hand, and it was still on him at this time.
Mei'er flattened her mouth and said, "Isn't it just a few more wooden beads?" What's so strange about this, maybe he is not used for chanting scriptures, but for other purposes. ”
Feng Yang's heart moved: "You are right, this string of beads is likely to be used by Huang Lao Thief for divination." As he spoke, he put the beads back on the bookcase.
"Brother Yang, what are we going to do next?"
"I wonder if I can find the antidote to the poison or the formula of the poison in the two brothers here, as long as I know the ingredients of the poison in the two brothers, I can dissolve it for them. ”
"Can the old thief Huang Hao put the recipe here?" Mei'er said suspiciously.
"It's better to look for it than to do nothing. Feng Yang said helplessly. He couldn't let go of the Bai brothers' injuries this time, and as time dragged on, he couldn't find a way to resolve the poison in their bodies and blamed himself even more.
"Then where are we going to find it?" Mei'er Fengyang's face was not good, and she quickly asked softly, hoping to divert his attention.
"You look for the bookshelf on the left, and I look for the bookscase and the bookshelf on the right. ”
"Okay, let's find it. Mei'er said, glanced at Feng Yang, walked to the left bookshelf and rummaged through. It's just that the bookshelves that Mei'er is looking for are all Confucian and Taoist doctrines such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Tao Te Ching, and there are no books on poisons.
Feng Yang opened the drawer of the bookcase and saw that there were some ordinary study supplies inside. Just when he was about to walk away, his heart moved, and he thought in his heart: "This old thief Huang is a personal essence, not only proficient in the art of Qi Huang, but also good at calculation, and his heart is extremely deep. It's impossible for such a person to place something important in a conspicuous place, and it's more likely that something like a compartment exists here. Thinking of this, my eyes focused on looking for the hidden button in the dark corner.
Mei'er flipped through the bookshelves, and saw that there were some Confucian and Taoist books, and couldn't help but look back at the wind in frustration, but saw that he didn't flip through the bookshelves, but groped in the dark corners behind the bookcase chairs. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Yang, what are you doing?"
Feng Yang turned around and explained, "Old Thief Huang is so good at calculation, I think he probably needs a dark room or a secret grid or something like that in his study. So try to look for buttons to see if there's a mechanism. As he spoke, he lowered his head and observed the white jade floors and walls around the bookshelf.
When Mei'er heard Feng Yang say this, she also felt very justified in her heart, and followed her to look for it in the dark corners everywhere. Mei'er searched all the dark corners on the left front and back, and didn't find any buttons, so she walked to the drum chair and sat down and said to the wind: "Brother Yang, I've searched all over here, no." ”
Feng Yang didn't respond to Mei'er, just looked at the 'Kunpeng Spreading Wings' calligraphy hanging on the wall behind the bookcase in a daze.
Mei'er glared at Feng Yang in confusion and said: "That's not a famous calligraphy, what's so beautiful?" She grew up beside Mei Qingjie and his wife since she was a child, although she relied on Mei Qingjie's doting on her, she was crazy all day long, and she was also very arrogant in doing things. But after witnessing the ear dyeing for a long time, you can also distinguish the authenticity of calligraphy and painting. She saw the calligraphy hanging on the wall, although the strokes were vigorous and powerful, strong and soft. But it is not among everyone, there is a faint reckless anger between the strokes, and at a glance you know that it is from the hands of the characters in the rivers and lakes, and it does not have much ornamental value.
Feng Yang ignored Mei'er's complaints, and continued to observe the surroundings of the calligraphy, always making him realize that the subtle reflection in the lower right corner of the calligraphy seemed to be caused by grease.
Feng Yang stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the grease of the calligraphy, and in an instant, the wall behind the calligraphy avoided the sound of 'gurgling'. Then move the calligraphy to the left.
Mei'er heard the noise and approached curiously, wanting to take a look.
The sound of 'whooshing ......' sounded intensively, and dozens of short arrows shot out and shot towards Mei'er.
Before Mei'er could react, she felt that her body was light, and she was dragged behind him by the wind. I saw that the wind was blowing on his right sleeve, and dozens of short arrows that shot out were all blown away by him.
