[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Professional teacher

"Second Young Master thought nothing was wrong just now, but this kind of thing happened in the end. Instead of sitting here, we might as well go and see what's going on here." Feng Jue said coldly.

Li Shimin was also a little embarrassed to hear him mention what happened just now. In addition, his body was not as normal as he said. At this time, there still seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, which made him feel hot all over. Jue is bored in this room, I'm afraid he will do something irreversible again.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and see if this is a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair or just a scary sick cat."

The two of them took a look around when they got out of the room, and found that the courtyard they were in was "back-shaped". Right in front of the courtyard was the hall they passed through when they came in. There were rooms on the left and right, their room was on one side, and the courtyard was on the other side. Behind it is a moon gate, and there is an iron gate on the moon gate, and the iron gate is locked.

Looking at the back through the moon gate, you can faintly see the eaves of some houses, and there are many more. It seems that there should be many more behind.

When they came, it was dark and raining, but they didn't realize that there was something wrong with this inn.Looking at each other, they were affirmed in each other's eyes. It seemed that the secret they were looking for must be behind this iron gate.

At this time, the rain had dropped a lot, and the two of them didn't care about getting wet. They walked to the iron door with a few steps and reached out to grab the lock.The door lock is made of fine copper, and what is even more surprising is that there are two keyholes on it, which shows the importance the owner attaches to this door.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed solemnly, and he said in a low voice: "This is the famous mandarin duck lock, which can only be opened with two keys, one long and one short." "It seems that we can only return without success."

Feng Jue smiled, picked up the lock and looked at it. The lock was about the size of a mineral water bottle, and there were two keyholes side by side on it. One was very small but dark, and the other was about the thickness of a pencil, but it looked deep. But not as deep as the thin one.

Sure enough, it is a mandarin duck lock, one long and one short, one thick and one thin, and it can only be opened with two keys together. It was photographed at No. 20 and nine on the list of precious locks, and it is barely considered an interesting thing.Zhensuobang, written by a strange person who does not know which dynasty, lists all kinds of locks with various whimsical ideas and ingenious craftsmanship. There are forty kinds of locks in total.

The book not only describes the appearance and characteristics of these so-called ingenious and famous locks in detail, but also lists the methods of how to break these locks one by one, and finally said, "It's a pity that the world is so ignorant that no one knows the secrets of the locks." , full of a sense of loneliness.

This book was obtained by Feng Jue's parents when they were exploring an unknown ancient cave. At the same time, they also got a small iron pillar with criss-crossing teeth. The key of the famous lock, of course, also has a certain technique.

Feng Jue's parents felt like they had found a treasure after getting it. They spent so much time studying and forgetting to eat and sleep every day that they almost became obsessed for a while, and they also ignored Feng Jue.But fortunately, one day they suddenly came to their senses, and they felt like they had just woken up from a big dream. They sealed the key away, and they stopped studying the secret of the key. Only then did they resume their previous life.

Although they failed to solve the mystery of the key in the end, they made many imitations, and selected the most successful one to make a pendant for Feng Jue to make up for their ignorance of Feng Jue during this period. A kind of secret vigilance.

After reminiscing, Feng Jue stretched out his hand and took out the slender key from his neck. With a light press, all kinds of interlaced tooth marks appeared on the smooth surface of the key, and the length was more than doubled. You can see the exquisiteness of this key.

Then he took out a thin metal wire from the sleeve, wrapped one end into a circle that fits into the larger keyhole, then used the key to put the wire into the keyhole, found a suitable place to hook it, and then put the wire into the keyhole. Pull the key out and insert it into the small keyhole, and while turning the key, pull the metal wire. After a while, the lock makes a soft "crack" sound, and it is opened.

Li Shimin has been looking at Feng Jue, seeing this, his eyes are naturally full of surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable, no matter what happens to this person, it seems reasonable.

Although he admired Feng Jue even more in his heart, he couldn't help but said: "The Taoist priest is really omnipotent, and he is better at picking locks than ordinary people. If the Taoist priest is short of money someday, he can rely on this skill It’s enough to live comfortably.”

After finishing speaking, he himself closed his mouth a little angrily, belittling Feng Jue would not make him feel better, on the contrary, this kind of villainous jealousy will only make the gap between the two people farther and farther, Li Shimin knows very well in his heart, But under the impact of that mass of evil fire, he couldn't help but speak out.

Feng Jue ignored him at all, put the key back in his arms, pushed the door open with both hands to look inside.

The more Feng Jue ignored Li Shimin, the more Li Shimin felt that he was so stupid, he wanted to open his mouth to argue a few more words, but when he saw the serious and stern expression on that person's face, he unconsciously took his words back, lying on his stomach Feng Jue looked in from the top of his head.

The courtyard inside is actually much more spacious than the outside, in the shape of "Pin", with a slightly larger courtyard in the middle and two smaller courtyards on each side.Because it was still raining at this time, no one could be seen in the courtyards on both sides. Only in the middle courtyard, there were two people standing under the eaves of the main entrance. Judging from their posture, they should be the gatekeepers.

It's a bit difficult now, Feng Jue frowned, those two people were facing the moon gate, as long as he and Li Shimin went out, they would probably be discovered by the two of them immediately, and when they started to quarrel, his side would absolutely Can't take advantage of anything.

Do you just go back like this?Feng Jue still felt a little unwilling to do so for nothing.

When Feng Jue was hesitating, Li Shimin behind him suddenly whispered: "Master Daoist, get out of the way."

When Feng Jue turned around, he saw that Li Shimin had fetched his bow and arrows from the outside at some point. At this moment, he was holding a bow and was adjusting it. It seemed that he was about to shoot and kill the two people inside.

"There are two people inside, if they can't be shot to death together." Feng Jue didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Don't the Taoist priest believe me?" After speaking, Li Shimin took out two arrows from his quiver and put them on the bowstring side by side, "Let the Taoist priest see my ability today, so that the Taoist priest Don't underestimate me." When he said the last sentence, his tone was already flying unconsciously.

Seeing such a confident Li Shimin, Feng Jue was suddenly relieved. History said that Li Shimin was good at riding and shooting, and he was even better at piercing Yang with a hundred steps. Now the distance from the people inside is less than a hundred steps. There is no reason why he would fail.

Thinking of this, Feng Jue stepped aside and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation to Li Shimin.

After being treated like this, Li Shimin's eyes became brighter. He stepped forward and looked at it calmly, then drew the bow like a full moon and shot the arrow in his hand.After the shooting, although he knew that the two men would surely die from the arrows, his breathing was involuntary, it had nothing to do with life or death, but he just didn't want the people around him to underestimate him.

It's been a long time since I was so worried about my archery, at least not since I was a teacher. Fortunately, God still favored him. Just when Li Shimin's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, the two gatekeepers throat Each of them was shot by a feather arrow, and before the two of them could even utter a cry, the dead bodies fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Shimin just wanted to shout, but he didn't, he just turned his head and looked at Feng Jue with a smile.

Feng Jue naturally knew what he meant, he had seen this expression on Li Yuanba countless times, but now it appeared on Li Shimin, who had always been self-reliant, it was a bit strange, "As expected of a brother!" Feng Jue said so With a word, he opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

What's the meaning?Li Shimin felt very baffled, but this was not the time to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly packed up his mood and followed Feng Jue into the courtyard.

The place where the gatekeeper is is probably the secret place, so the two of them didn't look at the courtyards on both sides, and went directly to the window in the middle courtyard, and scratched the window paper with their hands stained with rainwater, and looked inside.

Different from the simple and plain outside, the interior is very luxurious, including gold decorations and jade, calligraphy and painting, and everything there is.This room is obviously a hall. There are two middle-aged men sitting side by side on the chairs in the middle. One has a fat face and is dressed as a shopkeeper. people.

Under the two of them stood seven or eight people with godlike eyes and fierce faces, who didn't look like kind people at first glance, and in the middle of the hall, there was that Xiao Er that Feng Jue and the others had met, kneeling, At this time, Xiao Er was trembling with fear on his face.

The person who looked like the shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Er, and ordered: "You can go and see if those two people have drunk the tea later."

Thinking of how Li Shimin forced him to drink ginger soup, Xiao Er immediately said with some fear: "Shopkeeper, I think they must have a lot of history, I'm afraid they won't drink that tea at all. The ginger soup I sent last time contained Nuan Chun, the medicine should have taken effect by now, why don't we just rush in and catch those two people."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned and said, "They don't even drink tea, how could they drink that ginger soup?"

"Mihun powder is poured into the tea, and people who are on guard can immediately notice the strangeness, but this ginger soup is different. Nuanchun is colorless and tasteless, and it is not a poison. It will only make people lose their minds and become addicted. Finally exhausted in the love, even if they are cunning like ghosts, they will not notice." The cunning like ghosts that Xiao Er said, of course, is Li Shimin.

When they said this, Feng Jue and Li Shimin outside the door looked at each other, and they could see a trace of happiness in each other's eyes. Fortunately, they didn't have time to drink the tea, but when it came to the ginger soup, the two had different thoughts Now, Feng Jue was in such a fog, and Li Shimin was lucky and slightly disappointed.
