CHAPTER XLVII
Yue Xian has followed Master Cheng to practice secret weapons for many years, and his ears have long been stronger than ordinary martial arts practitioners. When he came in, he only looked at his surroundings and didn't pay attention to his feet. When he went out, he was distracted, and there was a floor under his feet that echoed differently from other places, and he immediately heard it.
Yue Xian walked through it several times, confirming that there was one floor that was indeed different, the echo was not as dull as the one next to it, and it seemed that there was still space underneath. Yue Xian said in his heart: Isn't there a secret path below?
Thinking of this, he took out the long sword on his body and cocked it vigorously in the gap in the floor, and with a "squeak", the floor was warped, revealing a swarthy piece underneath, Yue Xian struck it with the tip of the sword, making a crisp sound, which seemed to be cast in iron. Yue Xian knew that there must be a mechanism underneath, otherwise who would lay a layer of iron plates underground? Yue Xian lifted up several floors around him, and suddenly an iron door appeared in front of him, with a groove at one end, Yue Xian put the scabbard against the groove, and luck pushed it hard, the iron door was slowly pushed open, and a damp smell came to his face.
Yue Xian looked down, but saw a tunnel in the black rumbling dong, and could faintly see a stone staircase leading to the bottom. Yue Xian choked on the dampness rushing up from below, and hurriedly ducked aside. He went out and found some hay, lit it, and smoked it at the entrance of the cave for half an hour, and then walked down with the fire fold when the smoke gradually dissipated.
Passing through a very narrow staircase, the space below was not large, and the room, about a foot square, was empty, except for a table in the corner of the wall, on which a small box was placed. Yue Xian walked over, only to see a lock on the box, and said in his heart: Take it out first, and then make a plan. Reaching out to take it, but feeling that the box was very heavy, Yue Xian dusted off the dust, clamped the box under his armpit, and walked up. The iron door was pushed back on, and the floor was restored to its original state, and then the box was taken out.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into Xiaotong coming back with Yue Lin, Yue Lin smiled and said, "What are you doing here, disgraced?"
Yue Xian shook the box in his hand: "I went to find a treasure." ”
Yue Lin said: "What baby? ”
Yue Xian smiled and said, "Let's take a look!" Several people went to Yue Xian's room together. Yue Xian put the small box on the table, found a damp cloth and wiped it, it was golden, Yue Lin said: "It seems to be really a treasure, is it golden?"
Yue Xian picked it up and looked at it, and said, "It seems to be golden." ”
Yue Lin said with a smile: "Such a gold box, it should always contain rare treasures, your 'treasure hunt' is not in vain." Yue Xian smiled and did not answer.
Several people looked at the lock on the top of the box at the same time, it seemed to be a copper lock, already covered with green patina. Xiao Tong said, "I'll try it!" Yue Xian knew that Xiao Tong could open all kinds of locks, so he handed him the box. Xiaotong took out a thin needle from his body, put it into the lock hole, and pounded it a few times, but the lock did not move at all.
Yue Xian said: "It must have been rusted to death." ”
Yue Lin said: "Just cut it with a sword." ”
"That's all it takes," Yue Xian said, drawing his sword, taking a step back, and swinging his sword, he cut the copper lock, but did not hurt the box in the slightest. Yue Lin couldn't help but snort softly: "Good swordsmanship!"
Xiao Tong opened the box, only to see that there was a bag of oilcloth inside, took it out and weighed it, the weight was very light, Xiao Tong said: "Doesn't it seem to be a baby?" said and opened the oilcloth layer by layer, revealing a book. Xiao Tong read: "Wei Xuanzi." ”
Hearing the words "Wei Xuanzi", others were fine, but Yue Xian was shocked, he had been haunted by these three words for a long time in the past few days. Yue Lin said disappointedly: "It's just a military book, why do you have to be so strict inside and out?"
Yue Xian took the book from Xiaotong's hand, although the basement was damp, but because the book was wrapped in an oilcloth, it was very intact. The cover is blue, with the words "Wei Yuzi" written in black letters, and when you open the page, there are many marks written in red handwriting, some are round, some are square, and some are triangular...... The other texts are no different from the ordinary "Wei Xuanzi".
Yue Xian said in his heart: "Could it be that this is the book that everyone is looking for? It is so coincidental? But how can this book appear here? The basement is supposed to be left by the predecessors, could it be ......?"
Yue Xian said to the two: "Don't talk about this matter with anyone, there may be something strange in the middle, wait for me to find out." ”
The two nodded, knowing that Yue Xian must have a deep meaning when he said this. Yue Lin said: "You guys think about it slowly, I'm going to take care of the flowers and plants I bought today", and left.
Xiaotong asked, "Childe, is there any secret hidden in this book?"
Yue Xian recounted the previous events, and after listening, Xiao Tong said: "In this way, the matter of these five books, I'm afraid it's true?"
Yue Xian nodded: "Even if we really happened to get this one, we don't understand the meaning of these symbols at all." It seems that you have to collect five copies before you can crack it. ”
While the two were talking, Aemon walked in from outside the door: "Childe, Qin He has arrived." ”
Yue Xian put the book away and said, "Let him in!"
Eamon led a man in, who looked to be in his fifties, and his beard was half white. As soon as the man came in, he knelt down in front of Yue Xian, and said with tears in his eyes: "Qin He thanks Gongzi for his great kindness!"
Yue Xian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, helped him sit on the chair, and said, "Lord Qin, don't be like this, it's really tormenting the juniors!"
Qin He said: "Gongzi Yue, the old man knows that you are a righteous person, and it seems stingy to say the word 'Xie'. But with such a great kindness, how can you not let the old man say 'thank you'! Yue Gongzi, in the future, but there is a drive, Qin will definitely sacrifice his life to accompany him!"
Yue Xian said: "Lord Qin, I respect you as a person, so I came to help. You have been wronged for many years, and although you have been able to return to Beijing this time, the case has not yet been overturned, and you still need to find a way. ”
Qin He sighed: "Hey...... It is not easy to come back alive to reunite with the family, how can this case be overturned!"
Yue Xian and Xiao Tong comforted him, and Qin He felt a little relieved. Yue Xian said: "Lord Qin, your old mansion in Xicheng has been bought by others, and I have bought you a mansion in Nancheng, although it is not spacious, it is still clean, so let's live in it for the time being." Madame Zun and Ling Gongzi have already moved over, so I will send you back and reunite with them. ”
Qin He clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again, but he didn't speak.
After Qin He left, Xiao Tong asked, "Childe, I'm afraid this case is not easy, right?"
Yue Xian said: "If we can't even do this, then don't think about what we are planning." ”
