Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1136 The Strange Chamber of Secrets
Sima Xuanmo said: "No matter what he wants to do, we are ready to move the money. If you have money, don't be a fool."

After speaking, Sima Xuanmo took out a small bottle and pulled out the cork.

A faint fragrance overflows, and the fragrance lasts forever.

After a while, a small insect with a shiny body flew in.

Sima Xuanmo said excitedly: "Miss Lingling's bug is here, help will be here soon, let's get ready to move things!"

Lu Mingyu closed the box. Since he couldn't figure out Wu Ti's purpose, he should accept the money calmly for now!

Sima Xuanmo put his sword into its scabbard and bent down to move the box, but his waist almost slipped.

He was puzzled: "Why is it so heavy?"

Lu Mingyu raised the lamp and took a closer look and said, "The color of this box is wrong. It is darker than other boxes."

Suddenly, Lu Mingyu seemed to have discovered something. She took a few steps back, adjusted her position several times, and then said: "Cousin, come over here and take a look. What do the placement of these boxes look like? Does it look like a formation? "

Sima Xuanmo came over and took a look: "So that's it. I was wondering why the box is so heavy. It turns out that the box is placed in the same position."

Lu Mingyu said: "Not only that, have you noticed that the width of these boxes is wider than the door, so it seems that the boxes cannot be carried out."

Sima Xuanmo slapped his head: "These cunning things!"

This discovery convinced the two that there was a secret hidden in the secret room behind it.

If someone accidentally discovers the silver, few will think that the secret room where the silver is hidden also contains secrets, and most people will choose to move the silver away directly.

But since the box couldn't be moved out, the easiest way was to transport the money away in sacks.

Most people will start moving the boxes closest to the door. In this way, it will be difficult to find that there is a problem with one of the boxes.

If Sima Xuanmo hadn't happened to be standing there and moving the box, no one would have noticed that the box was heavier.

In short, this large amount of money is just a cover-up to hide secrets. It is difficult for people who only see money to discover its true use.

"Are you going to fix it?" Sima Xuanmo asked Lu Mingyu.

"Sure!" Lu Mingyu said firmly.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and Lu Mingyu put down the oil lamp, one on the left and one on the right, and moved the symmetrical boxes at the same time.

About a quarter of an hour later, twenty boxes were placed in a strange shape, like circular gears.

The two stood next to the distinctive box and worked together to move it.

With several "kick-kick-kick" sounds, the wall covering on the left side quickly fell off, and the stone slabs covered by the wall covering split open on both sides, revealing a secret room.

There is no light in the secret room, and as soon as the door is opened, light pours in, revealing its true appearance.

Bookshelves, tables and chairs, the four treasures of the study... everything is available.

"Huh? No gold and silver treasures?" Sima Xuanmo was puzzled, "I thought that the man had put so much effort into setting up such a mechanism, and there would be rare treasures hidden in it, but it turned out to be a study room?"

Lu Mingyu also felt puzzled, what kind of room needed so much money to cover it up?

In fact, she, like Sima Xuanmo, believed that there would be more valuable things like gold, jade, and jewelry in the secret room behind.

Lu Mingyu walked in holding the lamp, and Sima Xuanmo reminded: "Be careful, don't burn these things. If they are treasures left behind thousands of years ago, it would be a pity to destroy them."

Lu Mingyu rolled her eyes at him and motioned for him to look over: "An ordinary pine table and chair, an ordinary inkstone, ordinary paper, ordinary ink and a shelf of ordinary-looking books, what valuable treasures can there be?"

Si Ma "

Lu Mingyu frowned: "The ink tastes similar, there's nothing strange about it."

Sima Xuanmo shook his head: "My master's ink is unique in the world, because he made it himself." "I have smelled this smell for more than ten years, and it is correct. It is the ink that my master usually uses. Moreover, The furnishings of this room look very much like Master’s study..."

Lu Mingyu asked: "Could it be that...this secret room is the place where your master once stayed?"

Sima Xuanmo shook his head again: "Master, he has lived an upright life, there is no need to hide in such a dark basement."

Lu Mingyu suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that this was the hiding place of Emperor Shitian more than ten years ago? Emperor Shitian was once your senior brother, so it is not surprising that his habits are similar to those of your master."

So why would a study go to such trouble to hide it?

Look at the dust falling on these things, it's obvious that no one has been here for a long time.

Looking at the dilapidated appearance of the study, it is not impossible to say that it has not been taken care of for more than ten years.

Recalling the time when Emperor Shitian saw Master Qingchen using blindfolding techniques in the Prime Minister's Mansion and immediately ran away, Lu Mingyu became more and more certain that this was Emperor Shitian's former hiding place.

Because after Emperor Shitian killed his master, he did not dare to come to this place that was very similar to his master's study, so this place was sealed up in dust.

Sima Xuanmo casually opened a book, which actually contained some stargazing methods.

He turned slowly at first, then faster and faster.

Finally, he said with great excitement: "Ayu, this is what the master left behind! It's not that the master didn't teach me the secret technique of fortune telling. He taught me all the knowledge when he took me to travel, but he didn't teach me the method. That’s why I don’t know anything about the secret skills of fortune tellers.”

"Master has explained these astrological phenomena to me over and over again every day when the sky is full of stars."

Then, Sima Xuanmo casually opened a book, which recorded the dragon veins and hydrology of Great Qin.

He quickly showed it to Lu Mingyu: "Ayu, look here, this is what I drew for Mr. Baili when we were in Guiyan City, but there are annotations on the side of this book."

"Master has shown me these terrains and described to me what they look like, but he didn't tell me that they are dragon veins."

Lu Mingyu held the light farther away: "Cousin, compared to the 60 taels of silver outside, these things are obviously more precious treasures passed down from generation to generation."

Sima Xuanmo was extremely excited. He opened a book on the wall and handed it to Lu Mingyu to read: "This is the formation diagram."

Then he picked up others.

"This is a machine diagram..."

"This book records the soil quality of Da Qin and the things planted."

"This book records the customs and customs of Great Qin."

"This is the art of war."

"This is the art of controlling people."

"..."

Si Ma After reading this, I can also become destiny..."

"Be careful!" Lu Mingyu shouted, but she had no chance to say the next words.

The fish intestine sword she used to defend herself was shaken open by Emperor Shaktian, and her neck was also strangled by Emperor Shaktian.

Just like that, she was picked up by the neck and lifted up.

Emperor Shitian's eyes were scarlet, his black hair was flying in all directions as if alive, and his expression was as sinister as a ferocious devil.

He pinched Lu Mingyu's hand, and the meridians suddenly glowed with strange light, as if fire was burning under his skin, making the skin become transparent and strange.

He said: "It turns out that you two overestimated rats dared to break into my place, so I will keep you alive."
