He Xi's study is on the second floor, separated from the master bedroom by a wall, and connected by an arch in the middle.
"My dad has lived here basically his whole life, so these things were left untouched after he died."
He Zhiqing opened the bedroom door and led them through the arch into the study:
"Later, he took He Ji's body and lived here during that time. Nan Yi, take your time and watch."
Bai Chen was very curious, so he came close to her and asked, "Master, what are you looking for? Let's help you find it together."
Shen Nanyi shook his head while checking the bookshelf: "Actually, I don't know what it will be. It may be a map or notes. He has been looking for fusang trees for nearly a thousand years, so it's impossible that he didn't leave any records. I think the man in black robe wants to Maybe it’s these.”
Apart from that, she couldn't think of anything else.
"Okay, then I'll come and look for him together." He Zhiqing took off her coat and rolled up her sleeves.
"I am most familiar with my dad's study. I have loved staying here since I was a child. But since he became the chairman when he was forty-five years old, he has not allowed me to enter the study."
Shen Nanyi nodded: "His body should have been taken away by Ah Ji that year. His body was He Xi, but his soul was no longer there."
"When you say so, it's true." He Zhiqing blinked and thought for a while: "For a while, his attitude towards us siblings was lukewarm. Later, He Ji and I went abroad to study, and we didn't care about it until we came back. Slow down and warm up.”
No matter which body Ah Ji changes into, the important things will never leave the radius of his life.
Shen Nanyi speculated from this that what the man in black robe was looking for must still be here.
The three of them spent nearly four hours and found nothing.
Shen Nanyi was so tired that she collapsed on the ground. She was sweating all over after all the tossing.
"Nanyi, it seems that our guess was wrong. We have rummaged through everything and found nothing." He Zhiqing said.
Bai Chen collapsed on the sofa, raised his legs on the back of the sofa and looked at the sky:
"Is it possible that your dad just misses home and comes back to visit?"
He Zhiqing's eyes were suspicious: "No way? Nan Yi said he is just a puppet and has no consciousness."
"Then I really don't know." Bai Chen spread his hands and roared angrily:
"I want to ask about the sky, the earth, or superstition about fate~~"
He Zhiqing covered her ears and said to him: "Shut up, you, no one is in tune."
Shen Nanyi couldn't laugh or cry, it was true that birds of a feather flock together, among this group of friends, there was no one who could listen to singing.
"Hey, let's go." She stood up, patted the dust behind her butt, and raised her hand to wave them away.
In order to save trouble, this time they left directly through the door that opened outward in the study room.
After exiting the door, turn right and follow the corridor, which is the stairs going down.
The aisles are all paved with solid wood floors, and the heels of the shoes make a clicking sound when they touch the ground.
Shen Nanyi walked to the escalator, paused, looked back and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong, Nan Yi?" He Zhiqing saw that her expression was wrong, and the hairs on her hair stood up instantly.
Shouldn't you have seen something again?
She really didn't want to stay in this house for a minute.
Shen Nanyi stopped what she was saying, stopped and walked back.
Go to the study door, open it, go in, and pace back and forth.
After pacing, she walked out of the door without saying a word and continued pacing.
This time, even Bai Chen couldn't understand: "Nanyi, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
Shen Nanyi raised her brows and was a little excited: "Xiaobai, Qingzi, it's the wrong size."
She took the two of them back indoors and walked from one wall to the opposite side: "Look, there are twelve steps in total."
The two of them raised their faces in confusion and nodded: "That's right."
Shen Nanyi pulled them to the door again and started walking from the position aligned with the wall. When they reached the end, the two of them raised their faces in surprise, "Sixteen steps."
"That's right, sixteen steps." There are only twelve steps from wall to wall indoors, but there are sixteen steps outside.
The three of them almost answered in unison: "There is a secret room!"
He Zhiqing squeezed her hands, her eyes full of disbelief:
"My God, I've lived here for decades and I've never discovered this."
She looked at Ana Shen with admiration in her eyes: "You are so amazing!"
Bai Chen couldn't bear it anymore and rushed back to the study, lightly pressing the wall, trying to find the mechanism.
He Zhiqing was impatient. Seeing that Bai Chen couldn't find it after searching around, she rolled up her sleeves and said:
"Why bother looking for a switch? We can just knock on the wall, that's all!"
Shen Nanyi quickly stopped her and said, "Qingzi, don't worry, what if it is demolished by force and there are any mechanisms inside?"
"Will there be a lot of arrows popping up? Or a sudden burst of fire?"
He Zhiqing was vaguely excited about treasure hunting and eager to give it a try.
"That's hard to say. Since it was set up by Ah Ji, it's not that simple." Shen Nanyi said.
She walked around the desk and moved everything she could, to no avail;
He then took out books one by one along the wall of books standing behind the desk, but to no avail.
Just when she was disappointed again, her eyes were attracted by the globe on the book shelf.
This globe seemed to have been there for a long time, and it had accumulated a thick layer of dust.
But there is a faint fingerprint on the sphere. It is very shallow and only traces can be found in the scattered light and shadow.
Shen Nan's heart was raised in her throat and she waved to the two of them: "Look at this."
"This globe is very common, it should be nothing." He Zhiqing reached out and grabbed it.
Shen Nanyi and Bai Chen were shocked: "Put it down!"
He Zhiqing retracted her hand sarcastically, swallowed, and looked at the two of them innocently.
But with just this touch of her fingertips, the globe was moved a little further.
The wall began to make a clicking sound, like gears turning.
The three of them looked at each other and were overjoyed: "We found the right one!"
As the gears rotated, the entire wall of books began to shake.
The bookshelf holding the globe is a hidden door.
The door opened inward, and Bai Chen rushed forward: "You two, be careful, I'll go in and take a look first."
Ana Shen looked at her with approval and said to Qingzi, "Xiao Bai is a responsible man."
Haruko showed a shy smile: "What kind of responsibility? He is just curious. Look at him..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Chen, who entered the secret room first, let out a scream.
Shen Nanyi's expression changed and she rushed into the room.
Bai Chen was seen slumped on the ground, retreating step by step. In front of him stood a tall black shadow. With the light from the door, the shadow cast on the wall became more and more ferocious.
Shen Nanyi took a closer look and saw it was He Xi.
To be precise, it is He Xi's physical body, a puppet resurrected by a trace of yang energy.
He was holding a volume of book in his hand, and Shen Nanyi's eyes lit up. Could this be the one he wanted to find?
She spread her palms upward, gathered energy in her palms, and struck him with a thunderstorm.
He Zhiqing was the last one to step into the secret room. When she saw He Xi for the first time, her legs felt weak.
She pointed at He Xi with a trembling finger: "It's... it's really my dad."
