Chapter 86: The Hidden Pavilion in the Belly of the Mountain
With Aochen's help, the white ape was obviously much more relaxed, and after a while, he pushed the boulder aside, revealing a cave door, and the stone staircase went underground, and he didn't know where it led? Seeing that the stone staircase was full of dust, no one had walked through it for a long time.
The unknown bird could not enter the cave door, so they stood alone, and the people, led by the white ape, walked down the stone staircase, and after a long time saw the sunlight again, they were surprised to find that they had come to the bottom of a cliff, and an exquisite attic was built in the belly of the mountain.
This cliff shape is peculiar, it is oblique, it looks like a dragon going out to sea from a distance, under the cover of countless big trees and mountain peaks, even if it flies over from a high altitude, you can't see the attic below, the beautiful scenery around, gives people the feeling of being indisputable and paradise.
"Why does it look like some kind of high-ranking place to live in seclusion?"
Jingyang looked at the layout outside the attic, a set of stone tables, stone chairs, and a set of broken tea sets on the table, perhaps because it had been too long and was accidentally broken by something.
The scene in front of her made Xinyan suddenly forget the original idea of wanting to settle accounts with Jingyang, and curiously pulled Liuli to the attic to take a look, but she didn't dare to enter for fear of a mechanism.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, the white ape's face actually showed a smug expression, like a child showing off his favorite toy, waving his hand to signal Aochen and the others to go in with him.
Aochen strode after the white ape, turned around and said casually: "Jingyang and I will go first to have a look, you follow us, this big man brought us here, it looks quite familiar, there should be no problem inside." ”
When Xinyan heard this, she lowered her head and followed behind Jingyang silently, looking up secretly at everything around the attic from time to time, curiously guessing what would be in the attic.
Entering the attic, everyone knew that this attic was bigger than it looked outside, and under the leadership of the white ape, they came to one of the rooms, all of which were some sun-dried herbs and some medicine bottles, but those medicine bottles were thrown all over the ground, and the bottle caps were not closed, and Aochen picked up several of them empty.
"You're taking me to see this?"
Aochen then understood the reason why the white ape brought him here, it turned out that he felt that he had used up his medicine and wanted to compensate himself, but he didn't expect that this big man seemed to be fierce, but in fact, he was gentle and grateful.
Aochen casually flipped through several herbs, checked a few of the medicine bottles that were still on the shelves, and then shrugged his shoulders at everyone and said, "These herbs have been left for too long, at least for decades, and the medicinal properties have volatilized, and they are useless! Most of the medicine bottles are empty, and they have all been eaten up by the big man, right? The rest are also poisons, you are clever......
"I said, you've ruined all the good things, why did you bring us here?"
When Jing Yang heard this, he complained to the white ape dissatisfied, he thought there could be anything good here, but he didn't expect Bai to be happy, he was not interested in poison at all.
The white ape probably understood the meaning of Jingyang and Aochen's words, grinned and smirked, scratched the back of his head, and then pointed to several other rooms at random, indicating that everyone could go to other rooms to have a look.
"Mazi, let's split up and see who is lucky enough to find something good?"
Jingyang saw the white ape's movements, and then he became happy again, realizing that this place is so big, but there is more than one room, there is no elixir, and it is good to find some peerless martial arts cheats!
"Good!"
Aochen nodded slightly, but he was not in a hurry to search the room, but took the glass around to admire the layout in the attic, and liked the taste of the owner of the attic very much, but it was too lonely to be isolated here.
"Piano, chess, books, paintings, all ...... Why are you hiding here when you play elegance?"
Jing Yang casually entered a room, and after rummaging through it, he couldn't stop complaining, what about the imaginary peerless martial arts secrets? The owner of this attic built the house so hidden, could it be to avoid debts?
Xinyan only felt very embarrassed about Jingyang's words and deeds, even a person like her who had just entered the rivers and lakes knew that even if there was a martial arts cheat, it would definitely not be hidden in an obvious place, turned around and opened another room, and found that it was a bedroom, and the clothes in the cabinet were also male and female, but many of them were corrupted, and I don't know where the original owner went?
However, a few pieces of jewelry on the dresser are still in good condition, although they are covered with dust, they can't hide the delicate handiwork, but Xinyan has no interest in jewelry since she was a child, and she didn't even touch it.
Seeing that Aochen was just wandering around, the white ape thought that Aochen was not interested in what was here, so he waved his hand and motioned Aochen to follow him, and took Aochen to a room in the depths of the attic, only to see two long swords on the table in the room, one sword body is slightly wider, and the scabbard has golden lines, and the other is slightly shorter and narrower, and the scabbard is inlaid with several gems.
Aochen curiously picked up the sword that belonged to the man, drew the sword out of the sheath, only to feel that the cold light was still there, after infusing the true qi, the sword flashed, and the sword body roared softly.
It's a pity that Aochen didn't have much interest in the sword, so he put it back casually, but thinking that Xie Xie's parents had just reconciled, the pair of swords could be brought back as a gift.
"Huh?"
Aochen turned around and wanted to leave the room to look elsewhere, but found that there was a pair of candlesticks on the wall of the room, and a landscape painting hung in the middle.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Liuli heard Aochen's voice, turned around, and asked curiously.
Aochen hugged his chest with his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand, and said in a curious tone when he spoke: "This pair of candlesticks and landscape paintings, a little strange, the candlesticks do not match the layout in the room, the landscape paintings are hung too low, they all hang to the ground, how can there be such a long landscape painting? There should be some mechanism, you stand far away, I'll take a look!"
After listening to Aochen's words, Liuli picked up Ah Bao, obediently hid behind the white ape, tilted his head and secretly looked at Aochen fiddling with candlesticks and landscape paintings, his eyes revealed a trace of excitement and curiosity, guessing what kind of mechanism it would be.
After a lot of beating and fiddling, Aochen determined that there was actually a secret door behind the landscape painting, and the pair of candlesticks should be a secret door switch, so he lifted the true qi and cautiously tried to rotate the candlesticks.
Aochen fiddled with it several times at will, and the secret door opened quietly, and I don't know if the owner of this place did not design the secret weapon, or if it was a long time, the secret weapon failed, but these are not what Aochen cares about......
"Liuli, you wait here, if I don't come out for too long, you go and call Jingyang!"
Aochen glanced inside the secret door, only to feel that it was extremely dark, the only thing that could be sure was that there was a path in the secret door, judging by the location of the entire attic and the direction of the secret door, it should lead to the center of the mountain.
"Brother Chen, you have to be careful!"
Liuli nodded obediently, and the white ape on the side looked at the secret door with a curious look, it seemed that he didn't know about the secret door, but with its shape, even if he knew, he couldn't get in.
Looking into the secret door, the back slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, the surroundings became silent, this attic does not know how many years no one has lived, and it is almost dark, will there be any dead people here? Originally, I didn't feel anything with Aochen's company, but now as soon as Aochen left, Liuli began to think crankily, and inexplicably became flustered...... Looking at the dark secret door again, it looks like a monster's big mouth, as if it can eat people.
Liuli only felt that after Aochen entered, every breath was so long, and she couldn't figure out how long Aochen had been in, her brain was hot, she turned around and ran out, wanting to tell Jingyang and Xinyan about this secret passage, but she forgot that Aochen said that if he went in for too long, he asked her to inform Jingyang, but looking at her panicked appearance at this time, I'm afraid she can't tell the length of time, right?
Xinyan saw that Liuli was running towards her in a panic alone, and there was no Aochen behind her, so a feeling of uneasiness rose in her heart, and she asked anxiously: "Liuli, what's wrong with you? Why are you alone, Aochen?"
"Brother Chen found a secret passage and told me that if he went in for too long and didn't come out, he would come and call Brother Yang......"
Liuli hugged Ah Bao, and when she saw that she had finally found Jingyang and Xinyan, she said with a pear blossom with rain, making Ah Bao in her arms look inexplicable, it seemed that Aochen had not been in for a long time, right?
"Take me to the secret passage to see, after Aochen entered, did there any sound come from the secret passage?"
Jingyang's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he wondered in his heart, is there still an organ in the world that can stump the heirs of Guigu?
"I don't know, after Brother Chen went in, I started to get scared, and I didn't listen to ......"
Liuli recalled hard, but she couldn't remember whether she heard a sound from the secret passage, and the more she couldn't remember, the more nervous she became, and she cried all of a sudden, and Xinyan on the side of her also began to panic.
"Take me to the secret passage...... If I can't get out for a while, you should hurry back and find Senior Xie to save us!"
Jingyang saw Liuli's panicked appearance, and looked at Bao's claws waving wildly, and involuntarily thought of the worst of things, and asked Liuli to take him to the entrance of the secret passage.
The white ape watched a few people from the side, crying and panicking, and didn't understand what was going on at all, so he stupidly followed behind everyone, and Ah Bao saw that everyone didn't understand what he meant, so he simply ignored everyone in a fit of anger.
