Ye Changqing followed Xue Hongyi, and the two turned left and right all the way. Eventually, the two came to the bottom of a pavilion.

The pavilion has two floors. On the top are glazed tiles and cornices, and under the door are white marble steps.

The overall shape of the pavilion does not look much different from the Yanyu Building where Zhu Yingyu and the others are. But it's not inhabited here, because it's a study.

Ye Changqing looked up at the door plaque and saw three big characters with iron paintings and silver hooks written on it.

Ye Changqing retracted his gaze and looked at Xue Hongyi: "This is here?"

"Study. Xue Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Come, come in with me." ”

Xue Hongyi took out a key to open the door, and then the two stepped on the white marble steps and entered the study.

After entering the study, Ye Changqing looked left and right at the furnishings of the study.

In a place like the study, the four treasures of the study will definitely not be lacking. Ye Changqing saw that in the window of the study, there was a simple and elegant painting case, and the four treasures of the study, such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, were neatly placed on it.

Ye Changqing looked at the wall of the study and found that there were still a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on it.

After admiring it, Ye Changqing asked Xue Hongyi, "Brother Xue brought me here?"

"It's not just a study. Xue Hongyi pointed to the underground road: "There is also an underground secret room here. ”

Xue Hongyi said: "On the surface, this Wenjin Pavilion is an ordinary study. But in reality, it's a treasure trove that we've secretly built underground. Of course, we also have a treasure trove on the outside, but since it is a treasure trove that can be seen on the surface, it will certainly not put anything precious inside. ”

Xue Hongyi tapped the ground with his toes, and then said, "Something that is really valuable, it is naturally to be placed in a secret place." ”

Xue Hongyi continued: "This treasure house built underground in the Wenjin Pavilion is an important secret of our Star Picking Pavilion. The only one who can know about this place is me, the pavilion master of our Star Picking Pavilion, as well as a few elders, as well as a few elders' personal disciples and some other high-ranking people of the Star Picking Pavilion. Other than that, no one else knew about it. ”

Xue Hongyi said again: "Including those elite disciples, they don't know that under this study, there is actually an underground treasure house......

"Wait......" Xue Hongyi said this, and Ye Changqing interrupted: "Brother Xue, wait a minute." ”

Ye Changqing said: "You tell me this secret, don't you want to pull me into your Star Picking Pavilion? Could it be that which elder of your Star Picking Pavilion, or your pavilion master, has taken a fancy to me?

"Haha, Brother Ye laughed. Xue Hongyi laughed, and then said, "If you want to accept you into our Star Picking Pavilion, you must at least get the consent of Zhu Lao." If he doesn't nod, how dare we make our own claims, don't you think that's the truth?"

Xue Hongyi coughed, then changed his words and said, "Okay, no kidding, let's get down to business." ”

Xue Hongyi said: "Originally, the matter I told you was a secret, but since I told you, it means that it is no longer a secret." Because this underground treasure trove ...... It was exposed. ”

"Exposed?" Ye Changqing nodded and said, "No wonder you told me so clearly." And then what?"

"Brother Ye, first of all, I want to explain one point. Xue Hongyi said: "The so-called underground treasure house does not mean that a pit is dug in the ground and two treasures are placed, which is considered an underground treasure house." When we built this treasure house, we invited our Star Picking Pavilion's array masters to arrange the formation. Using the formation to envelop the entire treasure vault can be said to be extremely tight and solid. ”

"Brother Ye, please look at ......" Xue Hongyi flipped his left hand, and a silver-white stone the size of a baby's fist, faintly glowing, appeared on the palm of his hand. I only heard him say: "This stone is called the Star Absorbing Stone, and it was refined by our Star Picking Pavilion with a unique secret method. As for what it does...... I won't tell you Brother Ye. ”

Xue Hongyi flipped his left hand and put away the star-absorbing stone again, and then he said: "And what I told you in the Transmission Jade Slip before, the things that we stole from the Star Pavilion are this kind of stones. Presumably Brother Ye, you have already guessed it. ”

Ye Changqing nodded and said, "Since Brother Xue, you mentioned the treasure vault under the Wenjin Pavilion. So the Star Absorbing Stone must have been stolen there, right?"

"That's right. Xue Hongyi nodded and confirmed: "The Star-Absorbing Stone has always been placed in the underground treasure house of Wenjin Pavilion by us, but just five days ago, the Star-Absorbing Stone disappeared. ”

Xue Hongyi said: "We checked it the night before, and there was no problem. But when I checked it out the next night, the star-absorbing stone was gone. As for us, we don't even see a shadow of a thief, and we don't even know who did it. ”

Hearing that it was stolen in the treasure house where the formation was arranged, Ye Changqing was puzzled: "Didn't the thief touch the formation?"

"That's what we're puzzled about. Xue Hongyi said in a deep voice: "Our formation of picking up the Star Pavilion is definitely not paper-paste, and it is definitely not good-looking...... That's why I'm emphasizing to you our Star Pavilion Formation. It's just that I don't know what means the thieves used, and they actually stole the star-absorbing stone so easily without touching the well-defended formation. Do you think this is strange?"

"It's really weird......" Ye Changqing nodded. Then he said, "In addition to the Star Absorbing Stone, is there anything else lost in the treasure house?"

"I was about to tell you this. Xue Hongyi said: "Except for the theft of the Star Absorbing Stone, the thieves don't seem to be interested in other things, and they are no less." ...... While it's a good thing that nothing else has been stolen, it also makes us feel even more confused. ”

"That's ......," Ye Changqing fell into deep thought.

Xue Hongyi said: "Brother Ye, you are very observant, so I want to ask you to help me pick up the Star Pavilion to investigate." Let's see if we can find out who can do this. He was able to ignore our formation and steal the star-absorbing stone. ”

"......" Ye Changqing continued to ponder.

"Brother Ye...... Huh?" Xue Hongyi talked for a long time, and finally found that Ye Changqing didn't hear what he was saying, so he shook his hand in front of Ye Changqing's eyes and said, "What do you want to be so engrossed?"

"Hmm, what are you doing?" Ye Changqing came back to his senses. Then he swept Xue Hongyi's hand away from his eyes.

"Brother Ye, have you thought of anything?" Xue Hongyi asked.

"Oh, nothing, just remembering something from the past. Ye Changqing shook his head and said, "Brother Xue, is it inconvenient to take me to the scene to investigate?" I want to see if I can find some clues of thieves at the place where the incident occurred. ”

"Nothing was inconvenient. Xue Hongyi said: "If you don't say it, I will take you down to have a look." Now that the underground treasure house has been exposed, it has no value in secrecy. ”

Xue Hongyi stretched out his hand and signaled, "Brother Ye, please come with me." ”
