Although Bai Bing knew the location of the secret room and how to open it when she was on the roof in the evening, she did not see the situation in the secret room, nor did she know that Qian Zhongze and his wife would sleep in the secret room. So when he found that there was no one in the tent when he entered the room, Bai Bing was a little flustered, so he had to come out and ask Lin Jue for help.

Lin Jue was stunned and speechless, how could he encounter this situation? This was an unexpected surprise.

"Let's see." Lin Jue didn't know what was going on, so he could only go and see. The two jumped off the high wall, and when they landed, Bai Bing stretched out his hand to support Lin Jue, so that Lin Jue would not make a loud noise when he landed lightly. The two of them touched the back window of the main house, the window edge had been lifted, Bai Bing had entered from here before, and the two of them still climbed into the house from here.

The room was pitch black, and it took a long time for the eyes to adjust to the pattern of the room from the faint light shining in from the window. The two of them came to the big bed, Bai Bing gently lifted the curtain, and the two bedding on the bed were neatly folded, and it was indeed empty.

"It's weird, what the hell is going on? Are they alarmed? Bai Bing said in a low voice.

Lin Jue shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Impossible, if they are prepared, then this is a trap right now, and there should be an ambush." How could there be no movement. ”

Bai Bing nodded, feeling that this was very true. If it was a trap, I am afraid that it has already been launched now, and the people in ambush outside should have appeared, how could it be so calm.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said softly: "It's possible that Qian Zhongze won't go back to his room to sleep like this, but it's impossible for her wife not to sleep." It's still in the evening, but it's nowhere to be seen at the moment, and I don't think I'll leave home. ”

Bai Bing frowned and said, "What about that person?" I didn't see anyone. ”

Lin Jue couldn't figure it out, and asked softly, "Where is the secret room?" ”

Bai Bing walked to the south wall and reached out to grope on the wall. Suddenly, he touched a slight bump in activity, and with a flick of his fingers, a small keyhole was revealed.

"Right here, ...... with the key" Bai Bing's words were halfway through, when suddenly Lin Jue waved his hand to stop her. Bai Bing froze, and the two of them held their breath, only to hear a strange sound in the darkness. It sounded like thunder, like a tide, like the howl of a wild beast. It seems to be very regular, but it seems to be irregular, and it is extremely weird.

Bai Bing's color changed, and he looked at Lin Jue with disgust, not knowing what to do. Lin Jue stepped forward on tiptoe, reached out and gently removed Bai Bing's hand on the wall. With a bang, the small lid on the wall reset and covered the keyhole. The strange sound suddenly disappeared, silent.

Bai Bing felt even more strange, seeing Lin Jue open the small cover again, and then the voice reappeared.

Bai Bing leaned into Lin Jue's ear with a white face and whispered, "What's going on?" What kind of sound is this, it's so scary, is there a beast guarding the secret room? ”

Lin Jue tried his best to hold back a smile, nodded lightly, and said, "I'm afraid it's really as you expected, there are monsters here." No matter what, on the incense. This small hole is just blowing incense into it. ”

Bai Bing's heart was pounding, people were not afraid, unknown ghosts were the most terrifying. She is full of martial arts, but she is also afraid of these unknown things such as demons and monsters. At that moment, he handed the incense bamboo tube to Lin Jue. Lin Jue poured the powdery object on the oblique mouth at the end of the bamboo tube, blew on the fire fold and lit it, quickly inserted the thin bamboo tube into the keyhole, and slowly blew it in with his cheeks. The smoke slowly seeped into the small hole, and a little overflowed from the small hole, Lin Jue took a small breath, and his brain was immediately dizzy, so he quickly opened his mouth to breathe. I was secretly surprised by the domineering of this incense.

After blowing two tubes of incense, the two of them sat aside and waited quietly. I heard the sound of drums outside, it was already the third watch and the fourth drum, and the fourth watch was coming. It's just over an hour until dawn. At this time, the fifth watch day will dawn in the east, and the time is already a little tight. After all, I still have to save people, but I didn't expect to be delayed here for so much time.

"Almost, I think it's okay, even if there are monsters inside, it should be stunned." Lin Jue got up and said.

"The question is, how can we get in. I don't have a key. Bai Bing frowned.

Lin Jue said in a low voice: "This is not a keyhole, have you ever seen such a deep keyhole?" You said that she used a foot-long key to open the door of the secret room, how can there be such a long key in this world? This kind of secret room is actually a tether inside, and to open the door, you only need to use a slender object to reach in and pick up an iron chain or buckle, and it should be able to open. ”

Bai Bing was a little skeptical, Lin Jue walked to the side of the big bed, reached out and ripped off a tent hook, which was made of copper, slender and bendable. Lin Jue straightened it with his bare hands and turned it into a thin copper stick more than a foot long.

"I'll give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid you have to use brute force. I hope I don't have to, because it will alarm the people in this house. Lin Jue muttered and walked to the small hole in the wall, opened the lid, revealing the black hole, and slowly stretched the copper rod into it, slowly testing it with his feelings. I was busy for a long time, but it didn't work. Bai Bing was about to say that this method would not work, when he suddenly saw Lin Jue pull out the copper rod, bend the top of the hole into a small hook at the entrance of the hole, and then gently pull it. There was a snapping sound inside.

"It's finished?" Bai Bing was pleasantly surprised.

Lin Jue smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The design is a little ingenious, I said how to reach into it without a place of strength, but I can always feel something, it turns out to be a buckle connected by ropes." The small hook hooked the rope and pulled, and the deadbolt fell off. It's also clever, and it's useless to use any brute force. If it is hard to come, the rope will break, and it will be even more inaccessible. The seconds are very. ”

Bai Bing showed a look of admiration, Lang Jun knew a lot, although this was not an earth-shattering event, but from these little things, it was known that Lang Jun was bold and careful, and was good at pondering. If this is me, I am afraid that I will not understand what is going on for a day, and I will not be able to open this door.

"Inside, ready." Lin Jue said in a low voice.

Bai Bing pulled out the green flute with a loud sound, and the thin blade in front of the flute also flicked out.

Lin Jue was stunned and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Bing said: "What if the monsters guarding inside are not stunned?" ”

Lin Jue couldn't help it, and chuckled: "Stupid, where did the monster come from?" The strange sound before was the snoring of people. Qian Zhongze and his wife slept in the secret room. The sound of snoring is really strange sometimes, especially when two people are snoring together. You're stupid and cute. ”

Bai Bing stomped his feet and said, "You knew it and came to lie to me, you are so bad." ”

Lin Jue chuckled and didn't answer, and his hands were hard. But when he saw that the wall was sinking, there was a sound of piercing. At a certain angle, it slid to one side, revealing the entrance of the black hole. There was a smell of incense inside, and Lin Jue was busy covering his mouth and nose with a black cloth, and stepped in with a fire fold.

It quickly became clear what was going on. The couple was already sleeping very soundly, and at this moment, the incense was working, and they were snoring like thunder, and they wouldn't wake up for the time being, no matter how much they tossed. Bai Bing finally believed that the strange sound before was indeed the snoring of the two couples. Like a tide, like a galloping horse, like thunder, like a beast neighing. It's ever-changing, it's incredible.

Without further ado, the two immediately began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find them. A few large wooden boxes didn't have time to find the key, and directly cut the copper lock. Not long after, Lin Jue screamed in surprise and took out a few yellowed pieces of paper from a small Nanmu box.

"Yes, this is it. Got it. Lin Jue said with a smile.

"I got it too." Bai Bing raised her hand, and a jade bracelet that emitted a warm green light was already in her hand.

"Let's go, it's not too early. There can be no delay. Things are back to the way they were, and hopefully they won't find out tomorrow morning. Lin Jue waved his hand.

The two simply cleaned up and pulled out. When Lin Jue slowly closed the stone door of the secret room, the moment the stone door was closed, there was a click sound of the door bolt inside. Push harder, but it doesn't move. Sure enough, as Lin Jue said, the iron tether inside has a doorway, and the door is automatically locked as soon as it is closed. To open it, you need to hook the rope with a thin hook and pull it out of position. Misalignment reset is semi-automatic, and in these years, it can be described as a skilled craftsman.

This is actually not unusual, there are not many skilled craftsmen in this world, and some people have even created wooden birds that can fly in the sky. It's nothing to build such a small mechanism.

……

Halfway through the fourth watch, the last dark hour before dawn. Above the long street, it is even more silent, and the whole city is sleeping.

On Zhonghe Street, outside the wall more than one zhang high in the backyard of Wanhualou, Lin Jue and Bai Bing quietly approached. The high wall could not stump Lin Jue and Bai Bing, Lin Jue took out the hook he was carrying and threw it on the wall, and after the clanging sound, he tightened the rope, and the hook and claw were already hooked.

"I'll go up and see what's going on inside." Bai Bing said softly.

Lin Jue nodded, Bai Bing grabbed the hook and went to the top of the wall in three steps and two steps, and crouched down on it to observe carefully. The courtyard was quiet and dark, except for a few rooms in the middle courtyard that were lit. There are figures coming and going. In the second half of the night, there was less demand from the guests, so there was only one kitchen and some handymen on duty, and it was not as busy as before the third watch.

Bai Bing looked in the direction of the firewood house in the northeast corner, where it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. But Bai Bing knew that there must be someone crouching near the firewood room, because she was almost discovered when she came to check last night. Fortunately, one guy showed his body, and Bai Bing alertly found the location of five or six new guards.

At present, it seems that everything is normal, Bai Bing beckoned to the wall, Lin Jue grabbed the knot on the rope, and under the traction of Bai Bing, he also went up to the wall smoothly. The two of them didn't dare to jump down directly, turned the direction of the rope hook, slipped down the rope, and landed in the flower tree under the base of the wall.

"How? There must be someone hiding next to the firewood room, do you want me to solve them first? Bai Bing said in a low voice.

Lin Jue stared at the direction of the black firewood house, although he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but he knew that there must be someone hiding in the darkness. Since entering the courtyard, Lin Jue felt that the atmosphere was very strange. The silence in this courtyard is terrifying.
