At this time, Li Shilan and Luo Jian had already entered the second room through the small doorway they had found. When they heard the shrill voice, they were so frightened that they leaned against the wall and did not dare to say anything.
"Wait a minute!" Fatty said, "Professor Zhang specifically warned us about this. When encountering such a door sign, we
Those at this level are absolutely not allowed to enter!”
"What level are we at?" the thin voice hummed angrily.
"We're just--just on duty."
"Hmph! You look down on people, right? Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." The thin voice seemed to mind being divided into different levels, and kept coughing angrily. "I want to go in, cough cough.
Cough...cough cough cough...cough cough cough...cough cough cough..." He said and used a strong flashlight to shine randomly into the dark room.
"Lao Wu!" Li and Luo finally knew the surname of this thin man with a thin voice. "This is not okay. Two girls came to cause trouble a few days ago. I went deep into the underground palace to chase someone, and I was scolded by the leader.
One meal, but I can't do it again this time! Maybe I'll lose my job!" The fat night watchman warned worriedly.
"Then what if cultural relics are stolen? Who is responsible? Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." asked a thin voice. "Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
"This -" the fat man was a little embarrassed, "Look, you are coughing so badly now. It's all caused by the dust here. Let's go up and drink some water first, and then I'll call the leader to report and ask for instructions. Do you think it's okay?"
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." The thin voice was really bad, and after all this trouble, it was indeed choked by the dust in the underground palace. "Okay, okay! Cough cough cough... cough
Ahem..." After saying that, he turned off the flashlight and reluctantly returned the same way with the fat night watchman.
"Hey——" Li and Luo let out a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
"What should we do now?" Luo Jian asked in the darkness, knowing that Li Shilan had no intention of going back.
"Did you smell that the fragrance was stronger than before?" Li Shilan's mind was still on her sense of smell.
"Well - it seems a little bit." Luo Jian responded.
"The two guys who are doing the watch should have gone far away, please turn on the flashlight!"
Luo Jian immediately took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function. The room suddenly became brighter, and Li Shilan subconsciously blocked the light with her hands. After her eyes adapted to the intensity of the light, she took a closer look and found that it was a five-meter-square study room.
There are wooden bookshelves placed on the walls on both sides. However, the bookshelves are empty. Experts must have taken away the relevant cultural relics.
"There's nothing." Luo Jian looked around with his mobile phone in a wan manner. Indeed, in this room, apart from the two bookshelves on the wall and a wooden desk placed in the middle of the room, there is nothing else
nor.
"Don't move!" Li Shilan grabbed Luo Jian, who was still shaking around with his cell phone, "Don't move according to the bookcase."
Using the strong light emitted by her mobile phone, Li Shilan discovered an inkstone placed on the desk. Because the color and desk were both dark, she did not notice it at first.
"Strange!" Li Shilan wondered in her heart, "This square inkstone is the only small artifact in the room besides the bookshelf and desk. Why didn't the archaeologists take it away?" While thinking about it, she reached out to touch the ancient inkstone.
It feels cool to the touch, smooth and delicate. It is indeed a treasure that was included in the mausoleum of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shilan couldn't help but admire it secretly.
"Let me touch it, hehe!" Luo Jian wanted to join in the fun of everything. "Oh! It's so slippery! It's such a good thing, it must be valuable, right?" As he said this, he wanted to pick up the inkstone.
"Be careful, this is a cultural relic!" Li Shilan reminded.
"I understand, don't worry! Hey, oh, oh, hey, is it so heavy?" Luo Jian picked at it for a long time but refused to pick it up.
"You have a smart mind, but you are really poor at physical strength!" Li Shilan mocked. "Get out of the way, I'll do it!"
"Oh, oh, oh! How is this..." Li Shilan used both hands hard, no matter whether he lifted it up or shook it left and right, the inkstone did not move at all! "It's really weird!"
"Hahahaha!" Luo Jian laughed heartily. "Laughing at me? Aren't you the same? Hahahaha!"
After the two joked with each other some more, they looked intently at the strange inkstone.
"I wonder why the archaeological team didn't take it away and just left it here. It turns out it's embedded in a bookcase and can't be taken away!" Li Shilan said.
"Hey, I'm still thinking about taking it back and selling it for money!" Luo Jian said and jumped on the desk.
"What are you doing? Don't scratch the desk!"
"I'll go up and see if there's anything missing on the bookshelf." Luo Jian stood on tiptoe and looked toward the tops of the two bookshelves.
At this moment, they heard a loud "Kara-la-" sound! The two of them couldn't help but look for the sound...
The source of orchid fragrance
Li and Luo were startled by the unexpected sound! Looking for the sound, they found that a stone door opened on the wall behind the desk! And a yellow-green light came out from inside.
"Secret room!" Luo Jian's voice was trembling, whether it was excitement or fear, and he jumped off the desk.
Li Shilan was also stunned for a moment. The two looked at each other and were about to speak. "Clara--" The stone door closed again!
"Oops!" Li Shilan, who was standing closer, wanted to reach out to stop the stone door from closing, but before he could do it, the door closed tightly with a bang. If they hadn't experienced it just now, no one would have been able to tell that there was actually a door on this wall.
Door.
"What's going on?" Li Shilan was surprised and unsure, "Is there a ghost?"
"That's not certain!" Luo Jian said in a sinister tone, while rolling his eyes at Li Shilan and sticking out his tongue.
Although he knew that Luo Jian was joking, he just experienced the sudden opening and closing of the stone door, and when he looked at half of Luo Jian's face with his tongue sticking out in the light of his mobile phone, he still couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body!
"Stop making trouble!" Li Shilan was a little annoyed, and her face was full of doubts.
"Hehehe!" Luo Jian was actually laughing at this time. "I seem to know what's going on."
"You know? Why don't you tell me now!" Li Shilan grabbed Luo Jian's thin shoulders.
"Hey, hey, hey - let go, it hurts! Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Luo Jian got rid of Li Shilan's "iron hand" and pulled him to the desk.
"Look!" Luo Jian pointed to the ancient inkstone on the desk. "The agency should be here."
"Are you saying that this ancient inkstone is the switch of the stone gate? But we tried just now and couldn't move it at all."
"When I jumped on the table and looked at the bookshelf just now, I accidentally stepped on the inkstone and seemed to feel it sinking in. At the same time, the stone door opened!"
"So that's it." Li Shilan suddenly realized. "It means that this inkstone is like a big button? You can only press it down!" Li Shilan said, stacking his hands on the ancient inkstone and pressing it down hard.
It was so painful that I didn't even press it down at all.
"Get out of the way and let me do it!" Luo Jian was as nimble as a monkey and jumped onto the table. He stepped on the ancient inkstone with one foot and raised the other foot, focusing his strength on the ancient inkstone.
"Ka La La -" the stone door opened in response!
"It turns out that you have to press with a certain amount of weight!" Li Shilan found the key.
"Hurry in, or it will close automatically after a while." Luo Jian jumped off the desk, pulled Li Shilan and quickly ran through the door.
"Ka La La -" As soon as the two of them entered the secret room, the stone door was closed again.
"The stone here will shine again." Although the stone door has been closed, the two of them can clearly see the situation in the entire room.
On the wall to the left of the stone gate, there are three square holes at equal intervals and neatly arranged horizontally. In each hole is a lamp panel, which seems to be made of bronze. There is a large square table in the hall opposite the stone gate.
, the overall size and shape are a bit like an ordinary billiard table, but the height is lower, and the material seems to be expensive wood. The large table is surrounded by six pier chairs, which are also made of wood and have no backrests.
On the square table, there are many wine glasses placed near the edge of the table. They may be called wine bottles or wine glasses. They are large in shape and seem to be made of silver. There is a wine pot in the middle of the table, shining with gold, and the body of the pot looks like
It is also inlaid with a circle of gems, sparkling!
The two of them were involuntarily attracted to come forward. Luo Jian had just grasped the handle of the golden wine bottle when he suddenly heard Li Shilan shout, "Don't move!" Luo Jian was so frightened that he quickly let go.
"What are you doing? You scared me!" Luo Jian turned his head and looked at his best friend who was not "normal" recently.
"Have you smelled the floral fragrance from before?" Li Shilan sniffed hard.
After what he said, Luo Jian, who had withdrawn his attention from the gold and silverware and other treasures, seemed to really smell the fragrance, and it was indeed stronger than the previous room. He nodded.
Li Shilan was sniffing and searching at the same time, like a hound searching for rabbits.
"Found it!" Walking around the large square table, on the low chair on the other side of the table, there was a lavender women's sports coat leaning on it.
Li Shilan picked up her coat with her trembling right hand and put it under her nose to smell it. It was exactly the source of the floral fragrance!
