Chapter 663: Routine
The furnishings of the room inside the door are simple and elegant, just like the study and living room of the big family of the ancient scholarly family, the only difference is that there is no book, in addition, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for writing, which is neatly placed on the long desk in the center, which looks clean as new, as if it has just been carefully cleaned and wiped today.
Gu Juan stood in front of the long desk and observed for a long time, and then carefully touched the inkstone at the corner of the table with his axe.
Call......
He frowned slightly, and found that his axe had not really touched the inkstone, and a little breeze had blown it into ashes.
What followed was a chain reaction.
Except for the inkstone, all the other brushes, ink, and the stack of white paper have turned into ashes and scattered, leaving no trace.
"Maybe under the erosion of the long river of time, no matter what the item is, it can't get rid of the fate of turning into ashes and dissipating......"
Gu Juan sighed lowly, watching the chain reaction in the entire room continue, the tables, chairs, benches, bookcases, and flower shelves all began to quickly turn to ashes in the breeze he stirred, and then disappeared without a trace.
The demon spirit standing beside him watched all this in a daze, his eyes sometimes sober, sometimes confused, not knowing what he was thinking.
Even more bewildered than the demon spirit was the black-scaled snake, since it swam into this room with Gu Ju, its body shrank rapidly, and finally it turned into the size and thickness of a bamboo chopstick, shaking the rope coiled on Gu Juan's wrist, at first glance it looked like it was wearing a black bracelet.
Gu Juan walked around the room, and soon came to a secret door on the side.
The metal door, originally hidden behind a row of bookshelves, was rusty and mottled with a dark red stain, as if it had dried up for an unknown number of years.
He lifted his axe and pushed it gently, and the secret door opened a crack, and a musty smell rushed out.
There was a gray and dead silence as far as the eye could see, and no sound could be heard except for the faint sound of his own breathing.
Inside was a hall several times larger than the study outside, and there was a staircase that winded up in the deepest part.
Gu Juan frowned slightly, stopped at the entrance of the metal secret door, and did not rush into the hall, but maintained a vigilance that could retreat at any time.
Through the crack in the door, you can see that the hall on the first floor of the hall is roughly divided into four areas by several rows of columns.
In the leftmost area, more than a dozen weapon racks are neatly stacked, and various cold weapons are inserted on them.
The middle two areas are empty, and on the far right are long rows of bookshelves, on which are stacked not the books they are today, but thick, neatly arranged like parchment rolls.
He watched for a few more moments, then hid the axe into the void, lifted his foot and slowly stepped through the metal secret door, and walked through a row of stone pillars towards the bookshelf on the far right.
Compared with those cold weapons, he is still more interested in the carriers of these words.
The bookshelves had not been cleaned for I don't know how many years, and they were covered with a thick layer of dust, covering up many parchment rolls, and not a word could be seen.
Gu Juan walked closer, and his face suddenly became ugly.
The movement of his body brought a tiny air current, acting on the bookshelf, and directly turning the shelf and the parchment scroll into flying ashes, and in an instant, the chain reaction passed, and everything in the entire right area disappeared in an instant.
Smack!
Only a parchment roll fell to the ground with a dull sound.
"Oh, there's one book left. ”
"It's better to have one than nothing. ”
Gu Juan held his breath and walked through the flying ashes towards the sheepskin roll.
Well!?
After taking a few steps, the parchment scroll suddenly disappeared, and instead of dissolving to ashes like the other books, it disappeared from his sight without warning.
Gu Juan was not very reconciled, and went over to look around, but except for getting ashes, there was nothing else to gain.
Pat the dust that fell on his body, and he slowly walked backwards, little by little, through the passage in the middle area, to the area where the weapons were placed.
Then he slowly reached out and grabbed the handle of the nearest warhammer.
This warhammer looks majestic, and it should please Han Xiong.
He had said that he was going to build a solid gold sledgehammer for that idiot, but he never had time to do it, so he took the hammer and let Han Xiong play with it.
Call......
The next moment, Gu Juan withdrew his arm expressionlessly, brushed away the dust contaminated with his palms, and watched all the weapons and shelves turn into flying ashes and dissipate.
Filled with regret, he exited the left side of the hall and walked inward along the central passageway, stopping at the stone staircase at the end of the hall.
Crash......
The faintest voices were unusually noticeable in the lifeless halls.
Gu Juan raised his head sharply and looked up at the heights.
At the top of the stone staircase, he saw a small closed door.
"I'm a little tired of this routine of two doors and two doors and three doors. ”
He climbed the stairs step by step, and directly split the closed small door with his axe, revealing a secret room hidden behind.
The next moment, a flame ignited from his fingertips, dispelling the darkness in the chamber, and then his gaze looked at the neatly stacked rows of storage shelves inside, and finally fell on the innermost cabinet.
Under the light of the fire released by the red flame, Gu Juan could clearly see that with the opening of the secret door, a faint air flow was stirred into the house, turning all the things on the rows of storage shelves into flying ashes, only the deepest cabinet was still intact.
"Go and open the cabinet for me. Gu Juan turned his head to look at the demon spirit, and ordered quite naturally.
The demon spirit had no choice but to come to the cabinet step by step, and was just about to reach out to open the cabinet door, when Gu Ju's voice came from his ears.
"I think this cabinet is quite valuable, so it must contain something very important, so if you break it for your reasons, the consequences will be terrible. ”
The demon spirit hesitated for a moment, and even cautiously took two steps back, allowing himself to move a little further away from the cabinet, so as not to accidentally touch it and let it also turn into ashes.
Gu Juan looked down at her, and said with a cold face, "I just said that I asked you to open this cabinet, what are you doing here?"
"Within three breaths, if you don't open the cupboard, take out the contents and put them in my hands, and I'll hack you to death with an axe. ”
The demon spirit held its breath and stared,
Carefully grasping the handle of the cabinet, he opened it a little bit, revealing one of the things stored inside.
Gu Juan narrowed his eyes suddenly, and all his attention was drawn to the parchment scroll that was emitting a pure white light.
The parchment roll was square, and it seemed to be wrapped in something else.
