She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Don't worry."

Yan Zhan didn't want her to rush in rashly. What if there was a trap in there and she got hurt?

This looks like a secret door, but the walls of the study are not particularly thick, so the space inside must be extremely narrow.

If there is any hidden weapon, there is no way to avoid it.

Manshu obeyed and didn't move. In this respect, she was definitely not as good as Yan Zhan.

She had seen Yan Zhan's skills several times when he was in danger.

At least much better than her.

Seeing that she was well behaved, Yan Zhan rubbed her hair again.

"Hide aside, I'll go in and take a look first."

Yan Zhan moved the person to the side and went into the secret door himself.

It is called a secret door, but in fact it is just a square entrance, about the size of a wellhead.

Yan Zhan stretched out his hand and pushed, but the secret door did not move.

He frowned, and seeing that the secret door was tightly closed, he could only glance at the bookshelves on both sides.

If there is any mechanism, it should be here.

However, there was nothing unusual on both sides of the bookshelf.

Finally, Yan Zhan reached out and fumbled behind the bookshelf before he found a round grooved button.

Press it and the secret door will slide open to both sides like a bookshelf.

The true face of the small secret compartment was revealed.

It was not as dark as an ordinary secret room where fire was not needed.

Instead, a row of luminous pearls were inlaid on the top of the secret compartment.

It shines so brightly that the entire secret compartment lights up.

At first glance, there were really piles of books inside.

The books are neatly arranged. It is obvious that the old man does not store treasures but books in such a secret place because he cherishes these books very much.

As for why the book was given to Manshu?

Maybe he will never return to his hometown, but he still doesn't want these books to be covered in dust.

The next owner of this house will be the one the old owner finds for the book.

You can tell from the covers that these books are old.

Yan Zhan picked up a book at random - "Lu Ban Book".

Lu Ban?

Is he who he thinks he is?

Yan Zhan took a quick look and found that it indeed recorded everything Lu Ban had learned throughout his life.

Just flipping it from the back, Yan Zhan was a little confused.

Why is there a curse on this book?

Seeing Yan Zhan frowning, Manshu leaned over to read the book.

When I looked at it, I saw ancient spells written on it.

Seeing that Manshu was interested, Yan Zhan stuffed the book into her hands.

Go and pick up another one.

Some are Buddhist scriptures, some are ancient banned books, and one is even an ancient pornographic book.

He folded the book at the bottom, not intending to let Manshu see it.

Among them is a book called "Xiao Chao Feng Jian Bao Ji".

Manshu took a look and thought, could it be related to treasure appraisal?

She took a quick look at it and found that it was indeed written by a pawnbroker during the Qing Dynasty.

——In the eighth year of Kangxi’s reign, it was Grain Full.

At noon, I was guarding the shop, smoking and humming some songs in my spare time.

An old man in a bamboo hat came, looking haggard, and took a silk handkerchief and put it in his arms.

My eyes lit up. It was high-quality silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River and supplied to the royal family.

……

This Ye Chaofeng might be a chatterbox, and there is a lot of nonsense in his notes.

Manshu's eyes hurt from watching it, and it took him a long time to understand it.
