51 Secret Room

When Su Chen thought of this, he immediately started exploring the four walls.

When his hand touched the surrounding wall, his extraordinary perception also penetrated into the wall, reaching at least one or two feet deep, and directly "seeing inward" into the inside of the wall.

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

But the wall is bare, how can I open it?

Su Chen's perception spread around the inner wall and searched carefully. He soon found that there was a turntable mechanism behind the wall, which was connected to a fixed candlestick in the corner of the wall of the wing room through an iron chain.

"So the switch is here!"

Su Chen was secretly happy and walked to the candlestick.

This candlestick with lamps is the key to the secret room.

Su Chen discovered that this candlestick can be rotated, and when it rotates to the right position, it can open the secret room.

There is dust on the candlestick, and touching it with your hands will easily leave handprints.

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

He quickly "sees" the structure inside.

This candlestick is actually quite complex. It is a disk-spiral mechanism structure, such as an armillary sphere, which can rotate left and right. The inner wheel, shaft, hook, interlocking rod, brake device and locking, is a very precise mechanism that is breathtaking.

Each rotation has a scale, and you need to turn to a certain scale before it can be opened.

If an ordinary person knows that this candlestick is a mechanism and can open a dark room on the wall, he will be helpless.

Because I don’t know how the mechanism is designed and how it needs to be turned to open. If I get the mechanism wrong, I can’t open it and I can only stare at me.

Even if a master is not able to crack the mystery of this candlestick mechanism within less than half an hour.

But this did not make him any trouble.

Su Chen carefully used his perception to investigate and found that there were old traces of turning on the mechanism. He thought about it for a while, and according to these old traces, he twisted three and a half scale, and then twisted the candlestick for a while, and pressed down the candlestick.

"Hey!"

With a slight sound, the wall of the secret room opened silently.

The outside of the wall of this secret room looks like a blue brick, but inside is a hard cast iron plate, which cannot be opened by brute force from the outside.

"It's open!"

Su Chen was surprised and carefully entered the secret room.

This secret room is not big, about a few feet in size. After exploring it, there were no dangerous hidden weapons of mechanisms, so he went in.

On the floor of the secret room, there were ten heavy bronze treasure boxes, some of which were too full, and they didn't even cover the box cover.

Su Chen opened these treasure chests and took a breath of air conditioning.

The treasure chest at this mouth is filled with golden ingots, as well as precious jewelry, colorful jade, agate, jade, night pearls and other valuable things.

Su Chen lifted a treasure chest hard and found that with the strength of his second-rate expert, he still couldn't move at all after he had enough strength.

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

What is the concept of gold, silver and jewelry in this whole ten treasure chest? I'm afraid that the five major gangs in Wujun are not so rich.

"So much gold!"

Su Chen swallowed his saliva and felt dizzy. When had he seen such a huge amount of gold and silver goods? His eyes were so shocked that he widened his eyes.

He only deals with copper coins in his life, and at most he is only a few taels of silver, and he has never touched a ingot of gold.

And any gold ingot that he took out was more money than he would have seen in his life.

There is also a thick book of accounts in each treasure chest.

Su Chen thought it was the account books of Director Qinghe and Ding Shisanfen, so he quickly picked it up and looked through it. After seeing it, he was very disappointed.

The account book clearly records that this is the incense money donated by pilgrims and believers every day, and the gold, silver and jewelry exchanged, which are hoarded here.

"This huge wealth is actually donated by the pilgrims and believers of Hanshan Taoist Temple?!"

Su Chen couldn't get his brains around.

However, there are many pilgrims and believers in Hanshan Taoist Temple, and there is a constant stream of incense money every day. There are few Taoist priests and the incense is strong, so they will naturally be rich. If the gold and silver in these treasure chests are dozens of financial resources accumulated by Hanshan Taoist Temple and hundreds of years, it would not be surprising.

Su Chen picked up a ingot of ten taels of gold, which was heavy in his hand.

These gold, silver and jewelry are too heavy. They can be filled with dozens of pounds and hundreds of pounds. A box of more than tens of thousands of taels of gold can't be taken away at all.

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

Su Chen thought about it and said that these were not his targets for taking big risks to sneak into this place.

Keep rummaging in the secret room and see if there is anything better.

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

This dark cabinet is kept very secretly, and it is the same color as the blue bricks on the wall, and it cannot be seen from the outside. Unless it is hit by bricks, you can hear the echo of the cavity.

Su Chen quickly pulled out the dark cabinet.

"cough--!"

In the dark cabinet, a dazzling golden and jade light shone, almost making Su Chen unable to open his eyes.

Su Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover it, and looked again, but found a roll of golden and full of spiritual jade slips in the dark cabinet.

He looked surprised and carefully picked it up. However, he found that the small jade slip was surprisingly heavy in his hand, and it was estimated that it weighed at least ten pounds.

There are eighteen jade slips in total, each of which is half a foot long and two inches wide. It is pierced with expensive gold thread and stringed up one by one, like an ancient jade slip book.

Each jade slip is inlaid with gold edges, with a warm color and flawless color. It is obviously the best-quality jade.

Su Chen was surprised.

He had never seen such a precious book that was made of the best jade and made into a book. However, there was no text on this book, and it was impossible to see what it was for.

"What is this jade slip for this book, but it doesn't have a name?"

Su Chen was a little suspicious.

Although this jade is the best jade, the ten boxes are filled with precious gold, silver and jewelry, and there are also many beautiful jade pendants. Logically, there is no need to use a dark cabinet alone to store this book of jade slips separately!

This jade slip book is more rigorous than these ten treasure chests of gold and silver jewelry. Could it be some treasure that is afraid of being discovered?

Su Chen said inwardly.

If a thief discovered this secret room, he would probably be busy stealing and carrying the ten boxes of gold ingots and jewelry, and he would have no time to take care of the dark cabinet on the wall, and there was such a strange book of jade slips and books hidden.

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

"This should be a good treasure, and it's also light. Take it back and study it carefully... If the old Taoist Qinghe lost this thing, I don't know if it would be so anxious that he would be angry to death! Hey, if this old Taoist was angry to death, it would save me a lot of trouble!"

Su Chen pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment. When he thought of this, he immediately wrapped the jade slip book in cloth, stuffed it into his arms and hid it, and closed the dark cabinet casually.

Su Chen carefully searched every corner of the dark room and found no letters, wealth, etc. colluded with Director Qinghe and Ding Shisan, which made him quite upset.

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

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

This time I came to visit Hanshan Taoist Temple at night and listened to the piano in the brothel. I spent the last one tael of silver on my body in pain. He had become a poor servant.

But after careful consideration, this is not right, you shouldn't pay the money yourself!

His expenses for visiting brothels were entirely for the people of Suzhou to kill evil and eliminate evil. Because of the old Taoist Qinghe, he naturally had to seek reimbursement from the old Taoist Qingheist.

I think that the old Taoist Qinghe is also a wise person. If you know that others are chivalrous and righteous, you will have to pay for money, so you should pay the money for this Qingfu.

Su Chen always keeps his conscience and understands the truth when doing things.

When he thought of this, he immediately took away a few heavy ingots of gold ingots from a treasure chest and stuffed them in his arms. It was convenient to break it into pieces and use it as broken gold, unlike jewelry that is difficult to deal with.

Don't take more.

It’s not that I saved the money for visiting brothels for the old Qinghe Road.

But the gold is too heavy, which will seriously drag down his skills. And too many gold ingots can easily collide in the pocket and make crisp sounds, which can easily alarm the Taoist priests who are vigilant in the Taoist temple in the middle of the night.

Su Chen left the secret room with satisfaction, and originally wanted to continue searching in the wing room to see if there were any omissions.

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

Su Chen couldn't help but be shocked. The time had passed in this flash. If he stayed there, Director Qinghe would come back from the toilet.

"Well, I'll find this time. If the old Taoist Qinghe didn't find anything lost, I'll come to this treasure room again in a few months."

Su Chen immediately flashed out of the secret room, then carefully turned the candlestick and closed the secret room, so as not to be discovered by Director Qinghe immediately.

He turned over and jumped out of the window, without stopping, and quickly fled outside the courtyard of Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Su Chen didn't know if Director Qinghe would find someone sneaking into his wing room.

But if the Qinghe Daozhu was shocked and furious, he found that the wing room was stolen, with the first-class skill of this old master and his high light skills, he would definitely be extremely fast to chase him.
