Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately groped around the four walls.

His hand touched the wall around him, and his transcendent perception seeped into the wall, reaching at least a foot or two deep, directly "looking inside" into the wall.

He was immediately surprised to find that there was indeed a small dark room hidden in one of the walls.

But how do you open the bare wall?

Su Chen's perception spread along the inner wall, spreading around, searching carefully. It was soon discovered that there was a turntable mechanism behind the wall, connected by an iron chain to a fixed candlestick in the corner of the wing room.

"So the switch is here!"

Su Chen was secretly happy, and walked to the candlestick.

This candlestick, lit by the lamp, is the key to the secret room.

Su Chen found that this candlestick could be rotated, and when it was turned to the right position, the secret room could be opened.

There is dust on the candlestick, and it is easy to leave handprints when touched by hand.

Su Chen carefully wrapped his palm with a piece of cloth, holding the candlestick in his hand, and his extraordinary perception immediately penetrated into it.

He quickly "looked" inside clearly.

This candlestick is actually quite complicated, it is a disc spiral mechanism, like an armillary sphere, which can rotate left and right. The wheels, axles, hooks, interlocking levers, brakes and locks are very sophisticated and breathtaking.

Each spin has a scale, and you need to turn a certain scale to turn it on.

If ordinary people know that this candlestick is a mechanism that can open the wall dark room, they are helpless.

Because I don't know how the mechanism is designed, how it needs to be turned to open it. If you get the wrong mechanism, you can't open it, so you can only stare dryly.

Even if you are a master, you can't solve the mystery of this candlestick mechanism without more than half an hour.

But it didn't bother him in the slightest.

Su Chen used his perception to probe carefully, and found that there were old traces of the mechanism that had been rotated. He pondered for a moment, and according to these old traces, he twisted three and a half scales along the way, and then twisted a half and a half scales in the opposite direction, and pressed the candlestick down.

"Wow!"

With a soft sound, the walls of the chamber opened silently.

The walls of this chamber look like green bricks on the outside, but inside it is a hard iron plate that cannot be opened by brute force from the outside.

"It's on!"

Su Chen was pleasantly surprised and carefully entered the secret room.

This secret room is not large, about a few zhang in size. After some investigation, there was no dangerous hidden weapon, so he went in.

On the floor of the secret room, there were ten heavy bronze treasure chests, some of which were so full that they didn't even cover the lids.

Su Chen opened these treasure chests and gasped in shock.

This treasure chest is full of glittering gold ingots, as well as jewels, colorful jade, agate, jade, night pearl and other valuables.

Su Chen vigorously lifted one of the treasure chests, and found that with the strength of his second-rate master, he still couldn't move at all even if he had enough strength.

This random treasure chest is at least tens of thousands of taels of gold.

What is the concept of the gold, silver and jewelry in these ten treasure chests? I'm afraid that the five major gangs in Wu County are not so rich.

"So much gold!"

Su Chen swallowed his saliva, his brain was dizzy, when had he seen such a huge amount of gold and silver goods, his eyes were so shocked that his eyes widened.

He had only dealt with copper plates in his life, and at most he was only carrying a few taels of silver, and he had never even touched a single ingot of gold.

And in these ten treasure chests, he took out a gold ingot of ten taels at random, which was more than the money he had seen in his life.

Inside each of these treasure chests, there is also a thick account book.

Su Chen thought it was the account book of Qinghe Dao Chang and Ding Thirteen Cents, so he hurriedly picked it up and looked through it in surprise. At first glance, it was a big disappointment.

It is clearly recorded in the account book that this is the incense money that pilgrims and believers offer every day, and the gold, silver and jewelry that they exchange for are hoarded here.

"Such a huge wealth is actually donated by the believers of the Hanshan Taoist Temple?!"

Su Chen's mind couldn't turn around.

However, there are a large number of pilgrims and believers in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and there is a steady stream of incense money every day. There are few Taoist priests, the incense is vigorous, and the natural wealth is oily. If the gold and silver of these treasure chests are the financial resources accumulated by the Hanshan Taoist Temple for dozens or hundreds of years, it is not surprising.

Su Chen picked up a gold ingot weighing ten taels and held it heavy in his hand.

These gold, silver and jewelry are too heavy, and a small bag can weigh dozens or hundreds of catties, and a box can not be taken away at all, let alone tens of thousands of taels of gold.

If he had a bag in his pocket, I was afraid that he would not even be able to get out of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and he would be caught by the Taoist priests.

Su Chen thought about it, these were not the goals he had to take a big risk to sneak into this place.

Continue rummaging through the secret room. See if there's anything else better.

He accidentally touched the wall of the dark room, and his perception penetrated into it, and he was surprised to find that there was actually a small dark cabinet on the wall in the secret room.

This dark cabinet is very secretive, and it is the same color as the blue bricks of the wall, and it is not visible from the outside. Unless it is a brick-by-brick knock, the cavity echo can be heard.

Su Chen hurriedly pulled out this dark cabinet.

"Cough ——!"

Inside the dark cabinet, there was a dazzling golden and jade light, which almost made Su Chen unable to open his eyes.

Su Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover it, and looked again, but found that there was a scroll of golden and aura jade slips lying flat in the dark cabinet.

He looked surprised and picked it up carefully. But I found that this jade slip, which was not big, was surprisingly heavy in my hand, and it was estimated that it weighed at least ten catties.

There are a total of eighteen jade slips in this jade slip book, each one is half a foot long and two inches wide, perforated with expensive gold thread, and strung together one by one, just like an ancient jade slip book.

Each piece of jade is inlaid with gold edges, the color is warm and flawless, and it is obviously the best jade.

Su Chen was surprised.

He had never seen such a book made of the finest jade, a scroll made of such gold. But there was no text on the book, and it was not clear what it was for.

"This jade slip looks like a book, but it has no name, what is it for?"

Su Chen was a little suspicious.

Although this jade is the best jade, these ten boxes are full of precious gold and silver jewelry, and there are also many beautiful jade pendants. It stands to reason that there is no need to use a separate secret cabinet to store this book of jade slips separately!

This jade book is more tightly hidden than these ten treasure chests of gold, silver and jewelry, could it be that what kind of treasure is it, for fear of being discovered?

Su Chen said secretly.

If a thief discovers this secret room, I am afraid that he is too busy stealing and carrying these ten boxes of gold ingots and jewels to care about the secret cabinet on the wall, and there is such a strange volume of jade books hidden.

From this point of view, the value of this jade slip is still higher than the wealth of these ten chests of gold, silver, and jewelry.

"It's supposed to be a good baby, and it's lightweight, so take it home and study it carefully..... This Qinghe old man lost this thing, and I don't know if he will be angry and angry! Hey, if this thief is angry to death, it will save me a lot of trouble!"

Su Chen pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, thinking of this, he immediately wrapped this jade book in cloth, stuffed it into his arms and hid it, and closed the secret cabinet casually.

Su Chen carefully searched every corner of the dark room, but he didn't find any letters, goods or anything like the collusion between Qinghe Dao Chang and Ding Shisan, which made him quite annoyed.

Su Chen was disappointed and wanted to leave the secret room.

Suddenly, he patted his head and remembered that he had forgotten something important.

This time, he came to visit the Taoist Temple of Hanshan at night, listened to the piano in the Qinglou, and spent the last one or two pieces of silver on his body, and he had become a poor handyman.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not right, you shouldn't have paid for this money yourself!

His expenses for visiting Qinglou were completely for the people of Gusu to kill traitors and eliminate evil, and because of the old road of Qinghe, he naturally wanted to find the old road of Qinghe for reimbursement.

Come to think of it, Qinghe Lao Dao is also a sensible person, and he knows that it costs money for others to act chivalrous and righteous, so he should pay this green capital in advance.

Su Chen has always been conscientious and reasonable.

Thinking of this, he immediately took a few heavy ten-tael gold ingots from a treasure chest and stuffed them into his arms. It is also convenient to use as broken gold, unlike jewelry, which is not easy to use.

I don't take much either.

It's not for Qinghe Lao Dao to save the tolerance money for visiting the Qinglou.

It's just that this gold is too heavy, which will seriously drag down his skills, and too many gold ingots are easy to collide in his pocket and make a crisp sound, which is easy to alarm the Taoist priests who keep vigil in the Taoist temple in the middle of the night.

Su Chen left the secret room satisfied, originally thinking of continuing to look in the wing room to see if there was anything missing.

At this time, I heard the thatched toilet seventy or eighty feet away, and the thatched toilet opened and the clear footsteps of wooden shoes came from the ground.

Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised, this moment of hard work has already passed a tea time, and if he stays any longer, the Qinghe Dao chief will come back from the latrine.

"Well, let's find out here this time. If Qinghe Lao Dao doesn't find out that something is missing, I'll come back to this treasure room in a few months. ”

Su Chen immediately exited the secret room in a flash, and then carefully turned the candlestick to close the secret room. So as not to be immediately discovered by the Qinghe River Chief, someone has entered the wing.

He turned over and jumped out of the window, and without stopping, he quickly absconded towards the courtyard of the Cold Mountain Taoist Temple.

Su Chen also didn't know if the Qinghe River Chief would find out that someone had sneaked into his wing.

But in case the Qinghe River Chief was shocked and furious to find out that the wing room had been stolen, with the first-class kung fu of this old way, the light skill is high, and the chase must be extremely fast.

He had to leave immediately, retreat to the Yanyu Building in Gusu County, and not stay in the Hanshan Taoist Temple.
