Chapter 135 The Secret Room of Qin Mansion
They quickly reached the back alley of the Qin Mansion, and with a light tap on the wall, the three of them landed steadily in the yard.
This house is located on the edge of East City, just a few blocks away from the outer wall. Although it is a two-story structure and the area is not small, it looks quite depressed.
All the trees in the yard are bare, not even a single evergreen tree.
Daiyu looked at the direction and pointed to the two maids, and the three of them ran in that direction tacitly. When they passed a row of back houses, Daiyu suddenly heard a familiar "ding ding" sound in her mind.
[Trigger a random task: Please collect the classics in the secret room. Complete the task and you will be rewarded with 2,000 points and any two items.]
Daiyu signaled the two maids to stay put. Her nerves were already tense, and when she heard about such a generous reward, she was so excited that her limbs could not help but tremble.
Has 111 learned his lesson, or are people in the main world exceptionally generous?
[Is it really possible to make anything? Even a starship?]
[Yes, but 111 does not recommend it. Because running an interstellar battleship requires a lot of energy. Please choose carefully, don't be blind! ]
Daiyu regained her composure instantly. Since 111 mentioned the secret room, it meant that there was a trap inside, and it was very likely that it was not as easy to deal with as the one in Hongji Temple.
She asked: [How big is your scanning range? ]
[Within a radius of 100 meters! ]
[Is it also underground? ]
[Yes! ]
[Can you display a 3D scan? ]
[Of course! If you need it, you can also make an immersive 3D scan map, just pay an extra 500 points! ]
Daiyu rolled her eyes in her heart and complained to 111 again, "Aren't you robbing in blatant evidence?"
[No need, just tell me where the entrance to the secret room is, and I'll start scanning from there.]
[Okay, host. Please walk forward ten steps, then right, and then forward fifteen steps.]
Daiyu signaled the two maids to follow her, and she followed the instructions of 111 and walked in front. But as she approached, she smelled a familiar smell. She couldn't help but want to complain about Qin Ye, who was so heavy-handed that he set the entrance to the secret room in the clean room!
Qiu Kui and Dan Ru followed behind Daiyu, somewhat puzzled by her behavior. Could it be that the girl had a stomachache at night and needed to change her clothes?
They covered their mouths and noses silently. Qiu Kui couldn't help but whispered, "Miss, you...why don't we go back home? We should still be in time."
Daiyu coughed lightly and explained, "I felt there were some unusual traces here, so I came to take a look. You think too much, I'm not here to change clothes."
After hearing this, both of them felt a little guilty, and they began to look around this seemingly ordinary bathroom.
Daiyu has already retrieved the scan image provided by 111 and started to crack the mechanism of the secret room entrance.
Qin Ye was worthy of being the Minister of Works, in charge of repairing the royal palace, mausoleums and other buildings. He had many skilled craftsmen under him, and it was common for him to secretly give those craftsmen a way out.
This is not difficult to explain. Although the Qin family does not look wealthy, they can prepare so many rare things as a dowry for Qin Keqing.
Daiyu asked Qiu Kui to keep watch at the door, and she and Danru worked together to move a small couch in the bathroom.
The two men turned the couch 90 degrees clockwise and waited for a moment. They saw that the floor tiles where the couch was originally located slowly sank, revealing a large hole about one meter square.
Daiyu and Danyu looked at each other and said almost at the same time: "You wait upstairs!" "Miss, I'll go down with you!"
"Stop it! You and Qiu Kui are waiting upstairs!" Daiyu refused decisively.
Qiu Kui heard the argument between the two and came over, echoing: "No, girl, you can't go down alone, it's too dangerous!"
"It would be dangerous if we all go down!" Daiyu tried to hold her breath and analyzed, "You all know my martial arts, so it shouldn't be too dangerous if I go down. If you all follow me down, if someone comes in here, we will be exposed! By then, I'm afraid we won't even have a way to retreat, and we might even be surrounded by people!"
Qiu Kui pondered for a moment. Although she was worried, she knew that Daiyu was right, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, young lady, be careful!"
Seeing that Qiu Kui had no objection, Dan Ru had no choice but to obey, and anxiously reminded: "Miss, please be careful. If it doesn't work, we can bring more people next time and try again!"
Daiyu thought to herself that with her ability, as long as no one saw her, she would not miss the opportunity. But she still comforted Danyu, saying, "I know! When I go down, you guys restore the place to its original state, and then wait for me on the beam. When I want to come out, I will knock on the floor tiles as a signal."
After saying that, she moved and jumped into the tunnel. After the floor tiles slowly rose and blocked the hole above tightly, she took out the button flashlight from the system warehouse.
The tunnel is not spacious. Fortunately, Daiyu does not have claustrophobia, otherwise she would definitely feel suffocated in this enclosed and narrow space.
Relying on the memory in her mind, Daiyu picked a few tiles that she could walk on, and walked lightly on her toes to the door of the first room.
There was no door in the room. Opposite the door was a row of neatly arranged shelves, and on both sides were rows of large wooden boxes. No one knew what was inside.
Diagonally opposite was another room. Daiyu did not go in, but she vaguely saw that it was filled with various furnishings.
Daiyu walked into the first room. Because she had a flashlight, she did not light the candlestick in the room. She looked at the layout of the mechanism behind the candlestick on the scan map, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Qin Ye really built this secret room to look like a mausoleum, even the mechanisms inside were designed to be so similar, he was not afraid of bad luck.
Looking around, Daiyu found many small holes on the wall, and couldn't help but sigh again at the viciousness of this mechanism. No wonder the items were placed around the room, while the middle area was empty.
Daiyu casually opened a few wooden boxes and saw that they were filled with books and some were bamboo slips. However, she did not start collecting them immediately, but walked to the shelf.
This shelf was just an ordinary antique shelf, and there was no mechanism connected to the bottom or the wall. Daiyu opened the box on it with confidence.
The books in the box looked even older. Daiyu could still recognize the Song and Kai scripts, but some of them looked like small seal characters, which was a bit difficult for her to recognize.
Despite this, she did not touch these books easily, but searched in the system.
At this time, 111 seemed a little anxious: [Host, please start collecting immediately! ]
Daiyu was more certain now. She sat on the ground and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, when did I accept the mission?"
