Murong Xi checked the dressing table carefully, but could not find where the mechanism was. Murong Xi thought that maybe Elder Qu was not sitting in front of the dressing table at that time, but somewhere else. It was just because he was too young at the time.
So, I can’t remember clearly.
So, Murong Xi gave up on the dresser and closed the drawer of the dresser. When she returned the drawer, she found that there was something wrong with the handle of the drawer. Murong Xi tried again, and with a slight twist, the dresser clicked.
A gap popped up.
Murong Xi smiled slightly and said, "We found it."
Feng Mingye walked to Murong Xi's side, wiped Murong Xi's sweat, and said, "Xier, if you are tired, just rest for a while before going in."
"Why are you tired? You're already tired in less than half an hour?" Murong Xi glared and said.
Murong Xi turned his head and said to Elder Qu: "Elder Qu, let's go in."
After saying that, he pushed the dressing table over and walked inside.
Elder Qu nodded and followed Murong Xi. Seeing this, Feng Mingye hurriedly followed Elder Qu into the secret room.
The secret room was a little dark, so Murong Xi had no choice but to take out the night-light pearl to illuminate it.
The secret room is not very big, so it can be seen at a glance. There is a bookshelf against the wall on the right, and the bookshelf is filled with books.
Murong Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and didn't know where to start. He first looked around and then said softly: "Elder Qu, have you really never come in once?"
Elder Qu nodded and said, "I just remember that there was an extra door. Moreover, I was still young at that time, so I don't know how I encountered the mechanism. Since that time, that door has not been opened."
"It seems that apart from your father, no elder has ever come in here." Murong Xi said.
"Xier, doesn't the elder know that there is a secret room here?" Feng Mingye asked.
"I think it's 80% correct, otherwise the things here wouldn't be left intact here. If the elder found this secret room, he would definitely tell the great elder. However, he would definitely not leave those important things to the great elder.
"Yes." Murong Xi sighed and said.
"Xier, although it's not a big place here, it's still not easy to find what we need." Feng Mingye said worriedly.
"You are right, but there is nothing we can do about it." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he approached the bookshelf.
She believed that even if she couldn't find the parchment map on the bookshelf, she would still find useful clues.
Feng Mingye followed and helped Murong Xi hold the night pearl.
Murong Xi started looking through the bookshelf in the middle and looked at it very carefully. Elder Qu stood aside, looking at everything in the secret room in a daze.
Murong Xi was deeply attracted by these books. These books were actually witchcraft secrets collected in the forbidden area of Fengtian Sect.
It seems that Elder Qu is indeed a witchcraft elder from the tribe. However, after coming to the Central Plains, he followed his ancestors to Yaowang Valley, so he collected all the witchcraft here. However, will Elder Qu also store all the witchcraft here?
If the sheepskin map is collected here, then that's not necessarily the case.
Murong Xi put down the book and turned around to see Elder Qu looking lost.
"Elder Qu, are you not feeling well?" Murong Xi asked worriedly.
Because of Murong Xi's voice, Elder Qu finally came to his senses and said, "No, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that this house is very familiar."
"You said you are familiar with this room? Have you been to the secret room before but don't remember it?" Murong Xi asked with doubts.
Elder Qu shook his head and said: "I really don't remember whether I have been to this secret room before, but I just suddenly felt that the things in it were very familiar. Little Valley Master, there seems to be a mechanism on the middle floor of the bookshelf. Take a look.
.”
Elder Qu himself felt very strange why this secret room felt both strange and familiar to him. Therefore, after Murong Xi asked him, he suddenly had an impression of the mechanism on the bookshelf.
Murong Xi didn't listen to Elder Qu's words, turned around, picked up the books in the middle of the bookshelf and put them somewhere else. She looked carefully at the bookshelf, and as expected by Elder Qu, there really was a mechanism.
Murong Xi pressed it lightly, and the bookshelf popped out with a click.
Murong Xi and Feng Mingye looked at each other. It seemed that Elder Qu must have been here. Murong Xi thought about the bookshelf and looked over. Feng Mingye took the night pearl and shined it behind the bookshelf. It turned out that there was a tunnel behind the bookshelf.
"Elder Qu, there is a tunnel behind the bookshelf. Let's go down and have a look." Ji Limo said to Elder Qu.
Elder Qu nodded, walked behind Murong Xi, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there is really a mechanism on the bookshelf, and there is actually a tunnel behind it."
"Elder Qu, how did you know there was a mechanism on the bookshelf? If you had never come in, how could you suddenly remember it?" Murong Xi asked curiously.
Murong Xi always felt that Elder Qu must have opened this mechanism more than once, but he might have been discovered by Elder Qu. With the ability of Elder Qu's father, how could Elder Qu think of this?
"Little Valley Master, I really don't know what's going on, but suddenly there is a mechanism on the bookshelf that flashed in my mind. Could it be that I have really come in more than once?" Elder Qu also said with some doubts.
"Perhaps, Elder Qu will know about it soon." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he took the Night Pearl and walked down the tunnel.
After Murong Xi entered the tunnel, he found that the space below was twice as large as the secret room above.
"Aye, the space underground is much larger than the space above." Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.
"Xi'er, this underground secret room is so secretive. Do you think the ancestors of the Qu family would have placed the sheepskin map here?" Feng Mingye asked.
After Murong Xi came down cautiously, he looked at the basement carefully again. Murong Xi found that there was a desk neatly placed in the basement, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it. However, because no one had tidied and cleaned it for so long, the desk was full of things.
dust.
In addition to a table, there was also a bookshelf next to it. There were some bottles and jars on the bookshelf. Murong Xi knew at a glance that the jars contained must be poisonous insects. It seemed that these poisonous insects were still dormant.
But she just knew that there were many Gu worms in the secret room of Elder Qu's medicine room. But she didn't know what the difference was between the Gu worms in here and those frontal Gu worms.
"Little Valley Master, there is so much dust on the table, why not clean it first?" Elder Qu said.
Murong Xi shook her head and handed the night pearl in her hand to Feng Mingye. She picked up a book on the table and dusted it gently.
There were no words on the books. Murong Xi felt strange, so he carefully looked through the books. However, what surprised Murong Xi was that there was not a single word in the books.
"Aye, take a look." Murong Xi handed the book to Feng Mingye casually.
Feng Mingye took the book, glanced at it, and said, "There are no words on it. Is it the same as that sheepskin map, with words written on it using a special potion?"
Murong Xi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. It seems that I need to take this book back to Ji Limo to read."
After Murong Xi finished speaking, he looked at the brush on the table again. He was about to pick up the brush to take a look, but found that he couldn't pick it up at all. Murong Xi brought his hand, and after looking at it carefully, he put his hand on it.
He picked up the brush. This time, Murong Xi did not pick up the brush, but turned it to the left and right. Sure enough, the brush moved. Suddenly, the drawer on the inside of the desk popped out.
After Murong Xi heard the sound, he immediately walked to the desk. It turned out that if he wanted to open the desk drawer, he had to turn the brush on the desk.
Murong Xi looked into the drawer. Feng Mingye knew that Murong Xi wanted to find something in the drawer, so she approached Murong Xi with the Night Pearl.
Murong Xi found a small box in the drawer. Murong Xi reached out to take it out, but Feng Mingye stopped her.
"Xier, no one has come in here for decades. Look, there is not a trace of dust on the box. Moreover, this wooden box has been stored for so long, and it still looks like new." Feng Mingye said.
Murong Xi knew that Feng Mingye was worried that the box would be poisonous, so he nodded, put on silk gloves and took out the small box.
The box exuded a delicate fragrance. Murong Xi's eyes lit up and he said: "The box has a faint fragrance. It turns out that the wood is the same as the medicine coffin in Xuanmen Villa. No wonder it looks like new. I think there should be something very special inside the box.
Important stuff."
"Is it a sheepskin map?" Feng Mingye asked.
Murong Xi smiled and said, "This wooden box is the same as the small box in the scroll, so I suspect that what is inside should be a prescription."
"Prescription? Is it the prescription for Yin and Yang Gu?" Elder Qu said in surprise.
"It's the tribe's prescription for longevity." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he opened the box.
Sure enough, as Murong Xi said, there was a prescription in the box. Murong Xi looked carefully and found that the medicinal ingredients written on the prescription were somewhat the same as the previous prescription. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell any difference at all. However, Murong Xi Yiyi
You can tell by looking at the difference in the prescription. After Murong Xi put the prescription into the box, he threw the box to Feng Mingye.
What Murong Xi didn't expect was that the drawer was empty except for the box.
Murong Xi knew that there would be no sheepskin map in the drawer, so he stood up. Unexpectedly, because he got up in such a hurry, Murong Xi's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. When he leaned back, he was supported by Feng Mingye.
But Feng Mingye fell down on the bookshelf. Feng Mingye was so frightened that she quickly held the jar on the shelf with one hand.
There was a crash on the bookshelf, and a portrait fell in front of Murong Xi. The three people looked at the portrait and were all dumbfounded, because this portrait was exactly the same as the one they got back from Fengtian Sect. However, this portrait
There is no mechanism at all on the scroll. In other words, the sheepskin is not here at all.
"It turns out that there is a portrait like this in the secret room. It's a pity that my father was brutally murdered, otherwise he would definitely mention this to me." Elder Qu murmured.
"Is there only this painting and this box in the basement? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be right." Murong Xi always felt that although the layout of the basement was simple, it would never only contain paintings and boxes.
