My husband is a sick cat

Tang Ying couldn't see it, but he also smelled something like dust.

"I found a torch, but it turned to ashes."

Lu Jian answered calmly, and Tang Ying understood: "Then keep going forward. Since there are torches here, the secret room should be in front."

"it is good."

The two of them continued walking forward. Lu Jian found a few more torches, but this time she learned the lesson and did not touch them. She just pulled Tang Ying and continued forward. They walked less than two hundred meters. , Lu Jian finally saw a wall.

The cave was spacious and the ground was very flat, but the stone walls on both sides were not flat, so the sudden appearance of a flat wall in front of her seemed a bit abrupt. She pulled Tang Ying to a place about one meter away from the wall before stopping. Down.

"Tang Ying, there is a wall here."

"Wall?" Tang Ying was confused, and then she stretched out her hand that was not held by Lu Jian and tried to touch it forward. Lu Jian didn't stop her, but just looked around warily. She had read it in a storybook, and there was a hidden treasure. There are agencies everywhere, so she has to be careful.

As for the wall, there was no problem in her opinion, so she didn't stop Tang Ying from touching it.

When Tang Ying touched the wall, he felt a chill. It was the coolness of the stone, which was a very flat piece. He didn't touch any gaps or anything like that. He pondered for a while and said, "This may be a piece of stone." The whole big stone might be the entrance to the secret room we are looking for. Look around to see if there is anything different."

"it is good."

Seeing that Tang Ying had been touching for a long time, but no mechanism appeared, Lu Jian relaxed a little. After hearing Tang Ying's words, he agreed and began to search around carefully, but did not let go of Tang Ying and remained tight. Pull tight.

Tang Ying didn't let Lu Jian let go. In such a place where you couldn't see anything, it was safer to be pulled by Lu Jian.

After touching three or four things that looked a little strange to Lu Jian, Lu Jian finally found a bump that looked a little strange. It looked like something carved, because the lines looked like they were protruding from the surrounding stone walls. Small rocks are different.

It's just that the raised position is a bit high. Even though Lu Jian has grown a lot now, almost 1.6 meters tall, he still can't touch it. He is estimated to be more than two meters tall.

"I saw a strange place, but it's very high. Can I lift you up and try it?"

Lu Jian discussed with Tang Ying. Tang Ying frowned slightly, but still agreed. He was not sure if he could lift Lu Jian up. Even if he could, he was not sure that he would not drop Lu Jian, so he still listened to Lu Jian. is better.

"it is good."

Lu Jian knelt down slightly, hugged Tang Ying's legs and said, "Hold my shoulders and hold still while I lift you up."

"Ah."

Tang Ying believed in Lu Jian's strength, so even if she just hugged his legs and lifted them up, he would still not move. She just held Lu Jian's shoulders with one hand to prevent her body from shaking.

After Lu Jian stood up straight, he looked up and said, "Put your hands up and I'll tell you where they are."

Tang Ying did as he was told and raised his other hand.

"You lift it up a little more, yes, just this high, and a little more to the left. Okay, this is the position. Don't move. I'll take you one step forward, and you can touch it."

"it is good."

Tang Ying maintained the posture Lu Jian said and was carried forward. Sure enough, he touched something. The moment he touched it, he said, "Jian, close your eyes. There is dust."

Lu Jian immediately closed her eyes and held her breath, but she still felt many small things falling down and falling on her body, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she did not move because of it.

When Tang Ying touched the thing, he found that a lot of dust had accumulated on it. After getting rid of the dust, he finally revealed the hidden thing, which was a small unicorn statue. He held the statue and turned it slightly. For a moment, the statue followed his movements and then heard a click.

Tang Ying turned around and heard a sound of mechanical rotation, and then a little light appeared in the darkness. It was the entrance to the secret room that was opened. The light came from the entrance to the secret room, and he let go with confidence.

"Jian, let me down."

Lu Jian heard the movement, but there was a lot of dust on his face, so he didn't open his eyes to look. After hearing Tang Ying's words, he put the person down and then raised his hand to wipe the dust on his head and face with his sleeves. She took a big breath, almost suffocating her to death.

Tang Ying, who was watching the movement at the entrance, heard Lu Jian's breathing and immediately turned back to look at her. With the light coming from the entrance, she saw Lu Jian's flushed face and the dust that had not been cleaned. He immediately understood and took out his handkerchief.

"Close your eyes again and I'll wipe them for you."

Lu Jian obediently closed her eyes and let Tang Ying stroke the dust off her face and head, and then carefully wiped her face completely clean with a handkerchief. Only then did she feel more comfortable.

"All right."

Lu Jian opened her eyes and saw the completely opened secret room next to Tang Ying. She immediately pulled Tang Ying in out of curiosity.

This secret room is not big. It is said to be a secret room, but it looks more like a room made of stones. It looks like a living room with two rooms on the left and right. The light is coming from the stone in front. The luminous pearl placed on the stage.

The night pearl was the size of an adult's fist and was placed on a beautifully carved base. It exuded a lustrous luster. Even a person like Lu Jian who knew nothing could tell that this thing was definitely priceless.

"Isn't that thing valuable?"

"Well, that's a luminous pearl. Such a big luminous pearl is rare. Generally speaking, except for the royal family, no one can come up with such a big luminous pearl."

"Royalty?"

Lu Jian was surprised. Most of what she knew about the world was from what Tang Ying said, and from the storybooks or books Tang Ying kept at home. In fact, she didn't know much about it, but she still knew it. You know, the so-called royal family is the highest authority in the world.

"Yes, let's take a look first. I'm afraid this is a place left over from the previous dynasty."

Lu Jian nodded and did not ask any more questions. She secretly estimated in her mind that the history that Tang Ying mentioned to her was almost four hundred years ago. No wonder those torches turned to ashes.

There are not many things in this secret room like the living room, but most of them are carved from stone. Otherwise, it is probably impossible to preserve them for such a long time. In addition to the luminous pearl and the base, there are a few ornaments and a pair of vases. Lu Jane touched it and it didn't turn into ashes, which is good.

Tang Ying's attention was not on these things, and he walked directly to one of the rooms on the left. In fact, there was no door in that room, only a curtain blocking the view. Even though Tang Ying was prepared, when he saw the curtain turned into ashes and fell. At that time, it was still a bit regretful.

Before entering this place, Tang Ying had already guessed its origin, especially when he saw the luminous pearl, he was almost certain of his thoughts.

He was very excited to discover the remnants of the previous dynasty, but seeing the situation in front of him, he didn't know how many things could be preserved.

Because he once read in a book that when the previous dynasty fell, several members of the royal family hid in Qilin Mountain with a large amount of treasures. The founding emperor sent a large number of troops into Qilin Mountain to search, but not only did they not find anyone, Many soldiers were also lost, so the search had to be stopped.

After that, the emperor sent people to guard Qilin Mountain for nearly a hundred years, but still found no trace of anyone from the previous dynasty, so he had to cancel the surveillance of Qilin Mountain. After a hundred years, there is probably only one person left by the royal family. Ended.

They found this place by mistake now, which is really lucky.

Of course, his target was not the so-called jewelry, but the lone book taken away by the previous royal family.

He really couldn't understand what the previous royal family was thinking. When they escaped, they not only took away a large amount of jewelry, but also took away various books collected by the royal family. You know, the books that can be collected by the royal family, Its value and significance are extraordinary.

Although today's Dasheng has become more prosperous after four hundred years of changes, some lost technologies and inheritances have still not been restored. At least in terms of medical skills, they are not as good as those of the previous dynasty, let alone mechanical skills. , but these things, in the eyes of many people, are just some weird tricks.

But Tang Ying knows that the existence of everything has a role, and these lost things are still very important, so after he determined that this might be the place left by the previous royal family, his first reaction was to find those who had been taken away books.

However, the furnishings in the stone room in front of him looked like a kitchen. There was a stove carved out of stone, and there were dishes and other items on the table next to it. There would definitely be no books in this place.

He opened the door curtain of the stone room next to him again, and waited until the door curtain turned to dust. Then he looked in. It turned out to be a warehouse. Looking at the countless stacked boxes inside, and the traces of decay left on the ground on one side, you can see There should have been a lot of things placed here.

Tang Ying looked at the scene in front of him and was filled with emotion. He seemed to have seen the prosperous times back then. People were busy here, transporting various items in and out. But now, there are only these boxes left here and no one is there anymore.

He walked closer to check, and found that most of the boxes were still intact, but some had rotted away, revealing the jewels and jades hidden in the boxes. After hundreds of years of placement, the luster of these things had dimmed, as if The beauty who has been sleeping for a long time, although her face is haggard, can still hardly hide her charming appearance.

Lu Jian, who was still outside studying why the luminous pearl glowed, saw that Tang Ying went in and didn't come out for a while, so she followed him in curiously. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the sight in front of her. All she saw was decay. In the box, countless rare treasures are exposed in front of the eyes, and the array is dazzling.

"How come there are so many treasures here?" Lu Jian asked in surprise with his eyes widened.

"These should be the things brought in by members of the previous royal family." Tang Ying explained to Lu Jian under her confused gaze.

"Then we want to take them away?" Lu Jian looked at Tang Ying. Although she thought these things were beautiful, she didn't have any greed. In her opinion, these things had only one value and could be exchanged for money.

"I'm afraid not," Tang Ying shook his head, "These things are basically recorded. Even things from the previous dynasty should be recorded. Even if not, the sudden appearance of a large number of treasures in our hands will arouse suspicion. If someone accidentally discovers that something belongs to the former royal family, it may lead to death."

When he heard about the murder, Lu Jian couldn't help but frown slightly. This was the only bad thing about this world, the imperial power was supreme.

Although compared with the apocalypse, she had no worries about food and clothing here, but the people in power in this world had the power of life and death over anyone, which made her feel very helpless. Although she was not afraid of these people, she did not want to challenge them. The rules of the world.

"Then these things are just thrown away like this?"

Lu Jian felt a little regretful that he had discovered the secret room but could not take away the jewelry in exchange for money.

"Let me take a look first. Maybe we can find something less conspicuous and exchange it for some money."

Tang Ying reassured that they were not short of money now, but the poor days before had still left a deep impression on Lu Jian, otherwise she would not have been attracted to the two ginseng sticks.

Lu Jian knew nothing about the value of these jewels and couldn't tell which one was more precious, so she didn't say anything more and just walked out silently and went to the kitchen next door to check.

When she saw the kitchen for the first time, she felt happy, but when she found that there was no food at all, not even ashes, her mood instantly fell to the bottom again.

She turned around and left in disappointment, walking towards another stone room on the opposite side. The curtain at the door was reduced to ashes, leaving only some residue. Lu Jian couldn't help but curled her lips, thinking that these royal people from the previous dynasty were too unscrupulous, so they couldn't Use better quality materials for door curtains?

She never thought that these things had experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes. Unless they were made of non-perishable materials such as stone, jade or metal, even wooden doors would be reduced to ashes under the baptism of time.

When she walked into the stone room and saw the situation clearly, her eyes widened, as if she had seen some incredible sight.

Every corner of this stone room is illuminated by luminous pearls. Although it is not as big as the luminous pearl in the middle stone room, it is superior in number, making the entire stone room as bright as day, and every detail is clearly visible.

In the middle of this stone chamber, there is a huge stone coffin placed side by side, like a sleeping giant, standing quietly on a stone platform more than one meter high, occupying almost half of the stone chamber.

There is a circle of wooden boxes of almost the same size placed around the sarcophagus. The boxes are closely arranged, like guards guarding the sarcophagus, solemnly and solemnly.

The quality of these boxes was better than that of the stone chamber where Tang Ying was located. None of them were rotten, and they were all still intact, which showed that their materials were not ordinary.

In front of the sarcophagus, there is a stone carved table with several tablets and a dusty incense burner placed on it.

The tablets on the table seem to be witnesses of history, quietly telling stories of the past, while the dust on the incense burner is like traces of time, depositing the vicissitudes of time.

The whole case exudes a solemn atmosphere, which makes people feel awe.

"Tang Ying, come quickly and take a look."
