There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 654 The treasure is gratifying
Ka Ka Ka Ka!

The brick wall continued to slide slowly to the right, and dust fell, gradually revealing a dark secret room. Su Xian and Yang Zhilan stared at it, reluctant to blink.

After more than ten breaths, the clicking sound disappeared.

The secret room is completely opened.

It was a doorway eight feet high and four feet wide. The light came in, and it was obvious that the secret room was not big, and... it was empty!
"It's empty?!"

Su Xian stared, it couldn't be possible. After working mysteriously for a long time, he finally found a secret room and finally told him that it was empty?
Su Xian couldn't accept it and walked into the secret room to find out.

Yang Zhilan quickly took his hand, and said calmly:

"Master, don't be anxious. Be careful of hidden weapons. I'd better go in first to find out."

"Okay, it's better to be careful." Su Xian nodded.

Yang Zhilan entered the secret room attentively, tested everything, then turned back to Su Xian and said, "There are no hidden weapons."

Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "There is no hidden weapon, but at the same time there is no treasure! Hey, do you think the little cabinet leader is deliberately entertaining us?"

Yang Zhilan also had a trace of regret on her face and prepared to walk out of the secret room.

But as soon as she stepped down, she suddenly noticed a slight abnormality. She immediately stopped, squatted down, and carefully looked at the floor of the secret room.

"What's wrong?" Su Xian noticed something was wrong and entered the secret room, squatting next to Yang Zhilan.

"There is something weird about this floor. Master, please step back. I guess there is a mechanism under this floor." Yang Zhilan said with a calm and dignified face.

"There are still mechanisms?!"

Su Xian hurriedly stepped back, curiosity and expectation appeared on his face. He stood in the distance and stretched his neck to pay attention to Yang Zhilan's every move.

Yang Zhilan groped for a while and found another machine amplifier in a hidden place.

With a slight push, the loose floor slowly slid backwards, and stone steps appeared, one by one, extending downward, and it was dark below.

Su Xian was immediately overjoyed and said while preparing the torch:
"It turns out that there is a basement hidden in the secret room! This little pavilion leader is really cunning and cunning, to play such a game, there must be a treasure in this basement!"

"..."

After the torches were ready, Yang Zhilan went down the stairs first.

The firelight dispersed the darkness, and it was seen that the stone walls on both sides were very smooth, and the cutting marks were very fine... This was a carefully built basement!
Su Xian followed Yang Zhilan and was immediately overjoyed.

This harvest must be great.

The stairs were not long. After the two of them dropped about three feet, they stepped on a flat surface. There were many oil lamps in the basement. The two of them used torches to light the lamps one by one.

After more than ten breaths, the entire basement came into view.

This is a circular underground space, five to six feet square and about half a foot high, so it is quite large.

However, in the huge basement, only half of the space was occupied, and the things piled up there were... wine jars the size of human heads?
Su Xian guessed that it was a wine jar because there was a hint of wine fragrance in the air, which smelled very good and made people feel ecstatic.

So this is a... wine cellar?
Su Xian's heart sank, and he strode over, picked up a wine jar and looked at it. There was a red sticker on the belly of the jar, and he wrote "Jiuzhi Ganlu" in four big characters in regular script.

"Nine branches of nectar?!"

Su Xian was startled. The wine jar he picked up almost fell to the ground, and he said in shock:
"Legend has it that Nine Branches of Manna is a famous wine from ancient times. It has a mellow aroma and is known as the best wine in the world!"

"During the previous dynasty, the method of brewing Nine Branches of Nectar was lost. A jar of this wine is worth thousands of gold, and even princes and nobles cannot enjoy it at will."

“At that time in this dynasty, this wine was unheard of and had completely become a record in ancient books... However, who would have expected that this wine cellar actually stores... more than three hundred jars of nine-branch nectar! "

"..."

Su Xian carefully put down the wine jar.

Looking at these hundreds of altars of legendary fine wine, he was truly ecstatic.

This wine was worth a jar of gold in the previous dynasty, so what about now?

I'm afraid just throwing it out into a jar will be enough to make the wine-loving people in the world crazy and crazy!
And now, these more than [-] jars of legendary wine belong to Su Xian. This is indeed a valuable treasure and collection, and it can be called a masterpiece!

Drink one jar and lose one jar!
After Su Xian was overjoyed, his smile faded slightly. It was certainly a happy event to accidentally get this batch of ancient wine, but it was far from what he expected.

He actually wanted to find a clue to deal with the northern Liao Kingdom, or a key "evidence" like the "Golden Sheep Head Hairpin".

Although these three hundred jars of fine wine are good, if the crisis in the Liao Kingdom cannot be solved, no matter how good the wine is, it belongs to others, and the sword will always be hanging high.

Su Xian thought for a while, turned around and left the wine cellar resolutely, and told Yang Zhilan:

"Let's go out and look for more to see if there are any other treasures."

"..."

The two walked out of the wine cellar and restored the organs one by one.

Then he started a new round of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for hidden secret rooms everywhere.

Huangtian paid off, and finally, half an hour later, they found a secret compartment under the bed in the living room of the small pavilion, which contained more than ten well-sealed wooden boxes.

"I hope these treasures are useful!"

Su Xian was overjoyed, rubbed his hands together, and urged Yang Zhilan to move out the first wooden box.

Su Xian hid far away because he was worried that there was a mechanism hidden in the wooden box. He could only watch Yang Zhilan "opening the lid" helplessly. In fact, he liked this process very much, and it always felt like "opening the express delivery" in future generations.

Snapped!
The first wooden box was opened, and there was no hidden weapon.

Su Xian took a closer look and saw that there was a box of confidential letters inside.

"They're all letters."

Su Xian was a little disappointed and opened the letter casually. As soon as he read the beginning, he exclaimed: "This is... evidence of the crimes of the officials of the imperial court!"

"Why did Shao Sikou collect these things?" Su Xian opened several envelopes one after another, all of which contained evidence of the courtiers' crimes, and one even involved Princess Lanling.

"This box must not be spread out!" After Su Xian opened dozens more letters, cold sweat broke out on his back. The involvement was really too big!
After closing the wooden box, Yang Zhilan took out another box and opened it with various letters and confidential documents. Su Xian opened a few and read them, all of which were evidence of the courtiers' crimes.

Su Xian did not believe in evil, so he took out all the wooden boxes one by one, opened them all, and lined them up on the ground.

Later, it was discovered that half of the boxes contained letters, confidential letters and other incriminating evidence, and the other half contained various seals. Su Xian carefully identified several of them, most of which were seals used by celebrities in the past dynasties.

"I didn't expect that Shao Sikou had a hobby of collecting seals, but it's of little use to me." Su Xian shook his head, closed all the covers, and ordered Yang Zhilan to move them back to their original positions one by one.

Walking out of the living room, Su Xian looked up at the dusk sky and murmured to himself:
"Still haven't found what I need. Shao Sikou once collected the 'Golden Sheep Head Hairpin'. Are there no other objects related to the Liao Kingdom?"

"..."

Su Xian does not believe in evil, and Yang Zhilan continues to rummaging through boxes and boxes.

After searching, he found that the sky was dark and the sun had already set, but Su Xian still didn't get what he wanted.

"Forget it, that's it for today. It's getting late, let's go back first." Su Xian shook his head, dragging his tired body to prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yang Zhilan accidentally discovered a hidden grid on the column supporting the beam.

Su Xian was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I have a hunch that the treasure found this time will definitely be useful to me! Zhi Lan will take it out quickly and see what it is."
