The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 265 The Key
Chapter 265 The Key
The corridor is a bit short and only allows one person to walk.

Xia Houxiang walked in front, holding Rongli tightly, letting her follow behind, so that if there was any danger ahead, he could protect Li'er in time.

The night pearls on the wall all lit up when the corridor was opened.

These lights are enough for Xia Houxiang and Rongli to see the road in front of them clearly.

After turning two corners, the originally extremely narrow corridor suddenly became spacious.

Going forward, a door stood in front of the two of them. This time it was not a mechanism. There was a ring on the side wall. Xia Houxiang walked over and pulled it, and then pulled the copper ring and turned it clockwise. In a circle, the door opened slowly from left to right.

A small wing room appeared in front of the two of them. This house is not on the ground, but there is sunlight that can shine in. It is as bright as usual. The light in the house is the same, but there are no windows.

Walking into the room, there is a desk made of rosewood rosewood in the middle of the room, on which there are various celebrity invitations, an ebony pen holder, and a few wolf hairs in the pen sea.

On the red sandalwood stand on the left is a large plate of a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite big buddhist hands. On the right side of the foreign paint shelf hangs a white jade chime with a small hammer hanging beside it.

The couch not far away is hung with double embroidered flowers and grass insect gauze tents, giving people the feeling of being simple and unassuming, full of a chic and elegant bookish atmosphere.

There is a big bookshelf on one side of the wall, the height of one person occupies the entire wall, and it is filled with all kinds of books, which shows that the owner of the house has a wide range of knowledge.

"Is this my brother's house?" Rong Li looked at the house, it didn't look like a permanent resident.

"I haven't seen this room before, but according to the location, it should be in the Wenhua Palace where my brother lives." Xia Houxiang also looked at the whole room carefully. He thinks that the display of the house is very clear.

It was the first time he had seen this room, and it seemed that it should be located in the Wenhua Palace, under a certain house.

Based on the ink jade piece obtained from the previous cave, the two started a new round of search.

What kind of clues, or answers, will there be in this room.

Only after they find the key to it can they know.

Black jade is extremely rare, and they don't know whether it is big or small... What will it be made of?
Rongli tapped his index finger on the table, Mo Yu...

Xia Houxiang was obviously also thinking, this house is very similar to the daily living place of a person, and because of this, it is really hard to find.

Things can be placed anywhere, depending on the owner's habit, deliberately or randomly.

Xia Houxiang kept thinking about his brother's living habits when he was alive, where he likes to put things, or which things he prefers.

Here we have to rely entirely on Xia Houxiang, Rongli doesn't know what kind of person his elder brother is, and he doesn't dare to rummage through things, if Xiahouxiang thinks of something and makes her rummage, the gain outweighs the loss.

Rong Li sat on the armchair behind the desk, propped his chin and looked at Xia Houxiang who was thinking.

To be honest, Rongli admired this uncle whom he had no chance to meet, and she was dumbfounded by all the ingenious designs along the way.

Brain cells cost too much.

Suddenly, Xia Houxiang, who had been thinking all the time, raised his hand and pushed aside the scattered rice paper and thin books on the table, only to see a sunken small 呙 on the table, which looked like the black jade piece they had obtained before, Xia Houxiang held the sleeve The box in it was taken out again, and the black jade piece was placed on the concave.

I put it in, but there was no movement at all.

Thinking about it, the fragments they got were black jade, and the table was made of wood, which didn't look like anything on the table.

Xia Houxiang glanced at the table again, and suddenly found that there was no inkstone on the whole table.

Among the Four Treasures of the Study, my elder brother loves the inkstone very much. Every table has a precious inkstone. Just now, he had a whim and always felt that there was something missing on the table. Now it seems that only the inkstone is left untouched on the entire table among the Four Treasures of the Study , Therefore, what he is looking for now should be an inkstone.

"What did you find?" Rong Li moved closer to him, looking curiously at the small slot on the table, a little curious.

"There should be Fang Yantai here, let's look for it." Xia Houxiang pointed to the table and said to Rongli.

"En." Rongli nodded, as long as he has a direction.

As soon as they said it, they moved, and the two split up and rummaged in the house.

On the basis of not messing with things, Rongli searched carefully.

Xia Houxiang frowned after searching for nothing, where do you usually put your brother's important things?

Scanning around the room, his eyes fell on the bed.

He bent down and stretched his arms, and touched between the bed and the wall, and when he touched the middle, a hard touch made him happy.

Taking things out, a rectangular box was taken out.

"Li'er, I found it." Xia Houxiang raised the box in Yang's hand, and it should be this one, no surprises.

Rong Li hurried to his side, Xia Houxiang opened the box, and put an inkstone made of black jade into it.

The entire inkstone was carved from a single piece of jade, and the dark green color glowed with brilliance under the sunlight.

Rong Li nodded after seeing it, not to mention, the color is right.

Xia Houxiang turned the inkstone around, and there was no gap in the whole inkstone. Could it be that they made a mistake?

"Why is there no place to put the fragments?" Rong Li asked curiously.

Xia Houxiang shook her head, and decided to put the inkstone on the table first.

Just, where should I put it?

Xia Houxiang looked at the groove,
Subconsciously, he aimed the center of the bottom of the inkstone at the small hole, and placed it on top of it, only to hear a soft 'click', and a piece in the center of the inkstone sank slightly.

It turns out that the entire inkstone is not a whole piece of jade, but the center is a distraction jade, which is quite heavy and will fall if there is no point of support underneath.

There was a bright light in the eyes of the two of them, so it was right.

Xia Houxiang put the black jade piece in his hand in the center of the inkstone, and there was a sound of "Kerala", and the table was divided into left and right, and moved slowly.

Thanks to Rong Li's quick hands, he supported the things on the table and moved them to both sides of the crack, so that the things on the table did not fall into the table.

After the tabletop was fully opened, a long brocade box was placed inside. Xia Houxiang reached out to take it out, but found that he couldn't take it out at all.

Looking carefully, it turned out that the brocade box was stuck in a groove connected to the bottom of the table, and there was a keyhole on the left side of the groove.

Obviously, if you want to take out the brocade box, you need to find the key and open the lock.

But, where is the key again?

Rong Li sighed, "I thought it would be easy this time, but I didn't expect to have to look for it!"

Her uncle, can you save her some time.

Xia Houxiang hugged her helplessly, what else can I do now?

Find it.
