Chapter 241: Entering the Chamber of Secrets
After a while, Gao Jun brought five or six people in, each holding torches.
Seeing that someone came, Xuan Shijing took the lead in walking to the entrance of the tunnel and looked down.
The desk sinks, and the first pedal of the steps is made, and further down is the steps of the bluestone slab.
No wonder the desktop of the book case is so worn so much...
"Get the torch." Xuan Shijing turned his head and said to the person behind him.
Gao Jun handed the torch in his hand to Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing took the torch and threw it into the tunnel.
"Little Marquis, this..." Fang Yiai saw that it was wrong. He finally discovered the authenticity. Could it be that the little Marquis wanted to ignite the fire?
"This tunnel has just been opened for ventilation, so wait a while." Xuan Shijing said: "Open all the doors and windows that can be opened around."
"Yes." Gao Jun responded, and then ordered the people behind him to open the door.
Fang Yiai stood at the entrance of the tunnel and looked inside. It turned out that the torch that had been thrown away had been extinguished. No wonder...
Xuan Shijing's eyes were on the torch, thinking in his mind that these were probably the treasures that Yang Xuangan hid in Chang'an City. If this was a passage to another place, there must be a ventilation opening in the tunnel. It would not have been opened for so long. If the torch was thrown in, it would not last long. In other words, there must be a very tightly constructed secret room below.
You can guess what is placed in the secret room by thinking about it.
The doors and windows in the cell opened, and the cold wind poured into the room in an instant, making the people wake up instantly, but the torches in the hands of five or six Jinyiwei were whistled by the wind.
After waiting for a long time, Xuan Shijing said, "Go down and have a look."
"Yes." Gao Jun responded, and then took the lead in walking into the tunnel with the Jinyiwei holding a torch.
"Little Marquis, where are we?" Fang Yiai saw that everyone had entered, but Xuan Shijing still stood there without any intention of moving, and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, if we go down, the Jinyiwei will be distracted by us in order to protect us. I don't know what the situation is, so let Gao Jun and the others go down and explore. If it's fine, they will come up to report to us." Xuan Shijing said.
Fang Yiai nodded when he heard this.
Not long after Gao Jun and others walked along the passage, they reached the end. They had never encountered any mechanisms in the tunnel as originally imagined, so the entire tunnel was safe. At the end of the tunnel was a gate. The copper nails on the gate had already brought some patina, which looked really old.
"First check the surroundings outside the gate to see if there is any danger." Gao Jun ordered.
"Yes!" The six Jinyiwei behind him responded, then held up the torches and scattered outside the gate.
"Sir, the surroundings are safe outside the door." After investigation, a Jinyiwei walked to Gao Jun and reported.
"Open the door." Gao Jun said.
"Yes." The Jinyiwei left, and six people gathered in front of the gate, holding a torch in one hand and pressing the gate with the other hand, slowly pushing the gate open.
Gao Jun stood there, holding his breath and staring at the slowly opened door.
The doors are many years old, and when they are opened, they make squeaking sounds, which makes people creepy in this empty and dark tunnel.
The door was opened, and the scene inside also came into everyone's eyes. Gao Jun walked into the secret room with a horizontal knife around his waist, looked around, and confirmed that the secret room was safe, and said to the Jinyiwei behind him: "Zheng Fei, go up and report to the Marquis, let the Marquis and the Chief of the House come down, it is safe inside."
Zheng Fei was the one who just talked to Gao Jun. He was the leader of the other five Jinyiwei and one of the three Jinyiwei ten households.
"Yes, sir!" Zheng Fei responded with his fists, then turned around and walked upstairs.
In the interrogation room, Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai waited on the top for a long time, but there was no movement below. Fang Yiai couldn't help but stand at the entrance of the tunnel and look down, as if he could see through the tunnel at a glance and satisfy his curiosity.
"It's so dark, why can't you see anything?" Fang Yiai said.
"Of course, they all took torches." Xuan Shijing said, "I don't know what's going on below."
"Someone is coming up." Fang Yiai stood up and left the tunnel entrance.
After a while, Zheng Fei walked out of the tunnel entrance.
"Marty." Zheng Fei walked to Xuan Shijing and bowed with his fists.
"What's going on next?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"The little one and Gao Daren found a door at the end of the tunnel. Now the door has been opened and it is confirmed that it is safe inside. Gao Daren asked the little one to come up and invite the marquis and the chief secretary of the house to go down." Zheng Fei said.
"Yeah." Xuan Shijing nodded: "Let's go and lead the way."
"Yes!" Zheng Fei bowed and responded.
After going down from the tunnel entrance, Xuan Shijing looked at the walls on both sides of the tunnel with a faint fire, and found that there were oil lamps hanging on the walls.
"Try to see if these oil lamps can still be ignited." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes." Hearing this, Zheng Fei took the torch in his hand and approached the oil lamps on the wall.
With a "huh", the oil lamp was ignited. Although the water in the oil and fat evaporated completely, the fat is still there and can naturally be lit, but it probably won't last long.
As he walked, Zheng Fei lit all the oil lamps that stretched out on both sides, and as a result, the entire tunnel became much brighter.
After walking down for a while, Xuan Shijing saw the secret room at the end of the tunnel. The door of the secret room had been opened. Under Zheng Fei's leadership, Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai walked into the secret room.
"Good, there are so many things hidden here." Fang Yiai stepped into the secret room and looked around, unable to help but sigh.
"It seems that this is the batch of wealth that Yang Xuangan hid in the old house in the legend." Xuan Shijing said.
In the secret room, more than a dozen large boxes were piled up, each box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, and piles of copper coins, weapons and armor were scattered around the boxes.
"Even we have weapons and armor, I believe Yang Xuangan thought that if he failed, he could still take out this batch of goods and make a comeback." Fang Yiai said.
"Who knows?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Diet people are like a lamp extinguishing. Yang Xuangan has been dead for so many years. These treasures that have remained are cheaper."
It was handed over to the treasury or something, haha, joke, it wasn't that people had been sent to look for it in the palace back then, but they couldn't find it. Now that the Shenhou Mansion has been found, it is the Shenhou Mansion's ability. Xuan Shijing did not intend to let outsiders get involved in these unexpected wealth.
