Chapter 116 Book Coffin Lock

"There are so many books, which book will the location of the treasure be written in?"

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Liu Xing flipped through the "Secret Files of Important People in China" one after another.

There are a total of 188 volumes in this set, and each volume has about 600 pages. If you read all these books, it will take almost a year.

It is impossible for Liu Xing to read through these books now, he can only flip through them casually.

In fact, this set of books mainly records the archives information of some important figures in the Huaxia Kingdom, and there is absolutely no relationship with the Jin family treasure.Even if you read all the books, you may not be able to discover where the treasure is buried.

The information about the treasures of the Jin family comes from Jin Abiao's mother. After all, she is only Jin Santong's secretary, not the closest person to Jin Santong. Her information may not be completely accurate.

Therefore, Liu Xing is only dubious about the statement of the treasure of the Jin family.

This set of "Secret Files of Important People in China" happened to be in his hands, so he looked for it by the way.

After flipping through all 188 books quickly, I gained little.

The only discovery is that the covers of these books all have some golden patterns in the shape of gold ingots, and they seem to be arranged according to certain rules.

"Is there any problem with these gold ingot patterns?"

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately took the 188 books from the bookshelf, and placed them on the ground one by one, just like playing a jigsaw puzzle, putting together the 188 books in a certain order, and all the books The cover patterns of the [-] and [-] are combined into one giant pattern.

The giant pattern is about 4.2 meters long and 2 meters wide. It seems that there are certain rules, and the patterns of gold ingots are arranged in a specific formation.

It's a pity that Liu Xing observed for a long time, but he didn't see any tricks.

After observing for more than ten minutes, he still found nothing, so he had to give up.Just as he was about to put away the 188 books and put them back on the golden bookshelf, he made an unexpected discovery.

"What is this?"

I saw a narrow gap at the bottom of the golden bookshelf. The gap looked like a keyhole, only the size of a thumb.

There were originally 188 books on the bookshelf, so the gap was covered up.If Liu Xing hadn't moved the 188 books to the ground, there would never have been a small gap at the bottom of the bookshelf.

Leaning forward, Liu Xing took a closer look. The slit was rectangular, about 3 cm long and 0.5 cm wide. When he probed into the slit, he could faintly see some golden mechanical parts.

Liu Xing took out a key from his pocket and inserted the key into the gap. As a result, the key was ejected as soon as it was inserted.

He changed another key and inserted it again, same result.

It seems that this gap can only be inserted into a key of a specific structure, and the ordinary key will be automatically ejected after being inserted.

"This is clearly a coffin lock!"

Liu Xing's heart skipped a beat.

The so-called book coffin lock is a special lock for book coffins.

In order to prevent the coffin from being stolen, a sophisticated book coffin lock is required.Hundreds of years ago, the book coffin craftsmen of Huaxia Kingdom invented extremely complicated book coffin locks. These book coffin locks are a sophisticated mechanical system integrated into the book coffins.

Due to its complicated craftsmanship, some techniques of book coffin locks have long been lost.

However, Liu Xing has a certain understanding of the book coffin lock.

He was fascinated by the novel "Notes on the Tomb", and the protagonist of this novel is a coffin maker who is proficient in designing coffin locks.The memory of this coffin maker has now been transplanted into Liu Xing's mind.

Therefore, Liu Xing could tell at a glance that a coffin lock was installed inside the golden bookshelf in front of him!

Each coffin lock has a unique coffin key, which cannot be opened without the key.

"Where is the key to the coffin lock?"

Since this bookshelf is equipped with a book coffin lock, it can be seen that there should be something important hidden inside the bookshelf, even related to the treasure of the Jin family.

The information about the treasures of the Jin family may not be in the book "Secret Files of Important People in China", but on the bookshelf of this book!
This bookshelf is made of a special alloy, and it is impossible to cut it with ordinary tools.If you want to open the bookshelf, the best way is to find the coffin key.

In ancient China, in order to better preserve the coffin keys, the coffin craftsmen often made the keys into jewelry, such as jade pendants, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc., for easy carrying.

Therefore, the coffin key of this bookshelf may also be a kind of jewelry.

This underground library belongs to Jin Santong, and the key to the coffin is probably in the hands of Jin Santong's descendants.

Among them, there are two people who are most likely to have this key, one is Jin Tianbao, the son of Jin Santong, and the other is Jin Yuxin, the granddaughter of Jin Santong.

Yuxin lives in Meteor Book Bar now, and Liu Xing suddenly has an idea in his heart.

"looking around."

Liu Xing immediately left the underground library, returned to the room on the second floor of the book bar, changed into a black night clothes, and prepared to search in Yuxin's room.

After changing his clothes, Liu Xing broke through the window and landed on a tree outside the window.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and the Novel Street was deserted. Looking up at Yuxin's room, she found that there was still a white light shining from the window, and she seemed to have not rested yet.

Her body shot out like a black sharp arrow, Liu Xing flew to the window, glanced into the room, and saw Yuxin sitting in front of the laptop, wearing loose white pajamas, with her slender fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard, looking for information on the Internet. With information about the Jin family.

"It's four o'clock in the morning and she still doesn't sleep. This woman is really desperate for work."

In another hour, it would be dawn. Liu Xing couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to act immediately, using the method of contracting tendons and bones in "Nine Yin Manual", and jumped into the room directly from the window with a squeak.

Whoosh!
As soon as he landed, it turned into a black lightning, and Liu Xing galloped forward rapidly.

His movements were extremely light, and he didn't make any sound. It was just that his running speed was too fast, and the air would inevitably have slight fluctuations. Yuxin's eyebrows moved slightly, and she felt that there seemed to be something abnormal in the room.

When she was about to turn her head to check, Liu Xing had already passed behind her, and with a touch of her finger, a sense of dizziness hit Yuxin, and Yuxin immediately fell into a coma, and her delicate body fell directly behind her.

Liu Xing's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He stretched out his arms and hugged her body.

After hugging Yuxin, Liu Xing grabbed her little hand again and looked at it, only to see a white bracelet on her snow-white wrist.

The key to the book coffin may be a kind of jewelry, and this kind of jewelry may be worn on Yuxin's body.

After carefully looking at the bracelet, Liu Xing shook his head, and his eyes fell on Yuxin's ears again, and a pair of silver flower-shaped earrings appeared in sight.

Unfortunately, it is still not the key to the coffin.

Liu Xing gently pulled the collar of La Yuxin's pajamas, revealing her snow-white neck, where she wore a thin crystal necklace.The pendant of the necklace was too small to be the coffin key.

In this way, Liu Xing searched Yuxin's body repeatedly, seeing the hands from the head, and seeing the feet from the hands, but unfortunately, he still did not find the jewelry that looked like a key.

"Isn't the key on Yuxin's body?"

Putting the unconscious Yuxin on the chair, Liu Xing walked lightly to the dressing table in the room, and searched for Yuxin's other jewelry.She doesn't have many jewelry, only seven or eight kinds, and they are all ordinary jewelry, not keys.

After searching in front of the dressing table to no avail, Liu Xing came up with the idea of ​​putting a black password box under the bed.This password box was brought by Yuxin, and it should contain her most precious things!

This is a fingerprint lockbox. Liu Xing tried with his own fingerprint, but failed to open it. So, he tried again with Yuxin's fingerprint, and the box finally opened.

"There are so few things?"

The moment he opened the box, Liu Xing was a little surprised. There were only four things in the huge lockbox: a family photo of the Lu family, a family photo of the Jin family, a bank card and a pink purse.

The first three items could not be the keys, so Liu Xing picked up the pink purse, opened it, and saw that there were a few pieces of tulip petals that had been pinched to pieces.

"Aren't these the petals I crushed in Baihua Mountain?"

Liu Xing was a little speechless, he thought there was something good hidden in his purse, but unexpectedly it was a few tulip petals.

"Huh? What?"

Squeezing the bottom of the purse with his hands, Liu Xing touched a hard object!
Taking out the petals, I saw a white jade pendant in the purse!

The jade pendant is heart-shaped, the size of a peach, and has a complex structure. There are strange patterns engraved on the surface. The entire jade pendant is crystal clear, and under the light, it has a slight snow-white luster.

Taking out the white jade pendant, Liu Xing observed it carefully, and after a while, his face showed joy.

His intuition told him that this jade pendant might be the key to the coffin lock!

"Take it and try it!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xing took the jade pendant, his figure flickered, and hurriedly left the room...

……

Two minutes later, Liu Xing returned to the basement library on the second floor of the book bar.

Walking to an empty golden bookshelf, Liu Xing found the gap at the bottom of the bookshelf, and inserted the white jade pendant into the gap.

Ding!
After the jade pendant was inserted, it didn't pop out again, and fell in directly, just like throwing game coins, and a metal crisp sound could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, a sound of mechanical twisting came from the inside of the bookshelf, and the booming sound was endless, as if a mixer was installed in the bookshelf, and the whole bookshelf trembled slightly.

Liu Xing was secretly happy, he knew that the jade pendant had triggered the mechanical system of the book coffin lock and was opening...

Zheng!
At this time, the gap at the bottom of the golden bookshelf suddenly widened, like a small door, it opened bit by bit towards both sides, and a hidden compartment hidden inside the bookshelf appeared in front of you...

……

－－－－－－－－
PS: Because my update is too fast, almost 40 words, the editor just talked to me and asked me to put it on the shelves in advance. He meant to put it on the shelves next week.

However, I said before that this book will be on the shelves in June. If it is suddenly released in advance now, it seems to affect the character and integrity a bit. >_<|||
Therefore, I seriously tell the kind editor that this book will still not be available until June...
