Vol 2 Chapter 717: The third room

On November night, even in Lingnan, a winterless south, especially near the haunted house where many people died in the legend, there are few people there.
After the last "guest" in the public toilet came out, Zhou Jiaoji walked forward and behind the bypass tree, and put the round mutton jade hanging around her neck in the recess at the root of the old tree.
Just like the previous secret room organ, an underground hole that can only be dropped by a single person appeared on the ground of two adjacent lush ancient trees. Under the black light, she didn't dare to take out the flashlight, retrieve the jade pendant, and soak a big bag of powdered medicine. After a while, she jumped directly in with the determination to not enter the tiger's lair.
When she really jumped in, Zhou Jiao felt that the bottom of the cave was all soft sand. After she stood up straight, the passage above her head quickly closed. This time it was really dark, except for sensing the flow of wind, but he couldn't see his fingers.
Turning on the flashlight, she found a recess on the wall, and she clasped it with a round suet jade pendant. This time a narrow passage opened. Zhou Jiao didn't go directly in after taking out the jade pendant. Instead, she first sprinkled a lot of powder on the opening, and then closed a crucial trap.
According to the hidden poem in her grandma’s last words and a fancy French font admonition, if you want to open this secret room, in addition to the ancestral jade pendant, you must also add a method to decipher the formation. It may be a void, and even destroy the secret room.
Even if there is no hidden poem here, the formation is much more complicated than the Gu family's old house. Fortunately, with these tips, Zhou Jiao is really not sure that she can open it. Even if she had calculated with her dad several times, it would be sweating on her forehead under the ground, and she should not be careless for a moment.
It took her a full half an hour. After the first error occurred, Zhou Jiao confirmed that it was correct and began to untie the formation layer by layer. She wiped off the sweat until she heard the familiar clicking sound and the other side of the channel was exposed. Go to this channel. As she entered, the earliest one gradually closed.
Standing in the passage, after a while, the two passages were closed back and forth. She once again pointed the flashlight at the closed Shimen behind her, which was another carved Hanshiyu.
Seeing this, plus the jade pendant on her neck, Zhou Jiao was already convinced that this was the secret room of the Gu family. Except for Jiangcheng, the three secret rooms belong to the family, and these two are really the ancestors of the Gu family.
Zhou Jiao shook her head speechlessly. No wonder Gu's family is fat in the eyes of others, and everyone wants to take a bite. She could imagine how luxurious her grandmother was as the sole heir of the Gu family's main house.
It's no wonder that her family is better than anyone else now, and Mrs. Cheng keeps always saying wronged herself. Thinking of this, Zhou Jiao couldn't help smiling. Only the closest relatives can think about themselves so much!
After regaining her mood, Zhou Jiao began to follow her grandma's instructions, moving step by step on a large rock and approaching the dark place. Speaking of this round stone, it is really an honor. It witnessed the opening of the three chambers. If it had spirit, Zhou Jiao would really have to erect a monument for it.
There is no danger in the next road, but the distance is not short. If Zhou Jiao had the right sense of direction, she would have been out of the hospital. She is not in a hurry.
It is said that another exit is not far across from a pier. Although she hadn't experienced it personally, she had a foreboding that the senior who created the secret room was a master and should arrange a successor.
After going around a few turns, I don’t know how many roads I have walked. The last time I watched the watch was almost nine o’clock. Zhou Jiao hurriedly picked up speed. If I didn’t go back before the cinema closed this time, it would be a lie. Will break without attack. And she plans to go to the black market and get some good things.
With an eager mood, after walking to the secret room, Zhou Jiao once again followed the prompts to open the stone gate. With the experience of the previous two secret rooms, she was not surprised to see the wooden box again.
Let her grandma line up in the last mentioned secret room, let alone other, just a coastal city, this sensitive place, she can imagine that besides gold and silver, it is overseas jewelry.
And the fact is so.
Hundreds of wooden boxes were stacked on top of each other. Except for the precious wood boxes, all the others fell upon a touch - they were already weathered. Even if the tribute silks in a few boxes are wrapped in layers, they cannot stand the passage of time.
On the contrary, several sets of red wedding dresses, crowns, embroidered shoes, etc. from the Qing Dynasty were kept in a large box, intact. Looking at the huge east beads and exquisite embroidery on the embroidered shoes, it is not difficult to imagine how precious it is.
After opening a dozen or so boxes that were undamaged, apart from the jewellery, they were all ivory carvings from abroad and some precious gems and jewellery, plus the yellow and white things in the weathered box.
This approach is simply a proper family style.
Zhou Jiao couldn't take a closer look, put all the scattered gold bars, gold ingots, and leaves into the sack, and put the last intact wooden box into space.
The secret room after a mess, now there are and silver winter melons. For so much silver, Zhou Jiao really couldn't think of any use.
Simply put it in a sack, compared to the gold item ~EbookFREE.me~ finally the ancestors of the Gu family didn't add much in it. Maybe he also hid some silver on a whim.
After tidying up the useful things, Zhou Jiao didn't tidy up the remaining weathered things. She cleared the traces of her footprints and opened the exit channel again in the secret room.
With the activation of this mechanism, the door of the secret room slowly closed, and finally Zhou Jiao became ruthless and destroyed the mechanism. She doesn't want to be rushed into here one day. If you really want to restore the history, you will probably conclude that this is the other courtyard of the Jiangnan Gu family.
After closing the two organ traps along the exit passage, Zhou Jiao finally stood in a hole in surprise. Without the flashlight, the night outside was dimly, and a large pier could be seen in the distance.
According to the bus route taken in the afternoon, Zhou Jiao found that it was not far from the city and far from the other courtyard, but the distance from the guest house was getting farther and farther.
In this city, Zhou Jiao felt unfamiliar with her life, and did not dare to take the risk to take out the car and walk around. She has been here for almost a month, and she has often heard about smuggling. It is estimated that the management of the area near the pier must be stricter than the management of the downtown area.
I walked quickly into the city in the dark, squeezed into the bus and returned to the cinema again. It was already close to the cinema.
Seeing the waves of people coming out, Zhou Jiao also gave up thinking about going in again, looking for a remote place, went to disguise herself, changed her clothes before going out, blended into the crowd, followed the route back to the commercial bureau guest House.
The aunt at the front desk greeted her enthusiastically and asked what movie will be shown in the cinema tonight? How is the plot?
One asked lively, and one answered deliberately. It was not until the door of the guest house closed that Zhou Jiao let out a sigh of relief and returned to the room to rest.
