v2 Chapter 135： Treasure is real

, !

"I'll try it first, and you'll come up later." Cao Gui said, in terms of the degree of decay, it's better than other places.

"Cao, be careful." Gwen urged.

"rest assured."

Cao Gui jumped a little under his feet, and with a bang, the smoke rose, and the wooden suspension bridge began to shake.

Fortunately, although the suspension bridge was shaking, it was not damaged. Cao Gui squatted down to check and found that the wood of this thing was different from the one on the stairs next to it.

"Cao, are you alright?" Beth called out worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's alright." Cao Gui jumped, but there was nothing but smoke.

Saying that, Cao Gui turned a handle on the side, and the suspension bridge slowly fell.

Gwen and the three of them looked worried, and the pit was pitch black. Except for the dim light of the flashlight that had been left at the bottom of the pit, only Cao Gui was gradually dwindling.

Cao Gui stood on the suspension bridge and descended little by little, but when he was halfway down, he found that the length of the rope was not enough. He was now about 50 meters away from the bottom of the pit.

On the pit wall in front of him, a small wooden bridge appeared, and at the other end of the wooden bridge was a room cut open on the pit wall.

"Cao, how are you now?" Harry asked in the headset.

"Uh... I found an empty room, and there's nothing in it... Forget it, I'll go pick you up and let's come down together."

Saying that, Cao Gui turned the handle upwards, went back up, and took the three people to the empty room on the pit wall in turn.

Tie the suspension bridge, and let the last person walk into the pit wall room last time.

Looking at the dust that was one centimeter thick on the ground, several people were confused for a while.

"Damn it! It won't be taken away in advance, will it?" Harry said in exasperation.

Cao Gui frowned. Judging from their journey along the way, Nicholas Zhao Si has not started the treasure hunt, which means that the treasure must still be there, but it is empty...

"Look again, don't worry, Harry." Cao Gui said.

Hearing this, the three of them stopped talking and began to silently search for clues, but the atmosphere in the four-person room became a little dull.

Cao Gui looked around and found that there were three or four arched, window-like pits on the wall.

In this room, except for an oil lamp, these are the things that attract the most attention.

"There's nothing." Beth kicked a stone on the ground and said a little discouraged. After two or three days of work, she couldn't get anything.

"Cao, Beth, come here." At this moment, Gwen suddenly called.

The three of them were stunned for a moment and ran over quickly: "Gwen, what did you find?"

"One eye is the all-seeing eye." Gwen said, she found an eye-shaped mural on the wall.

"What's the use of this...?" Beth wondered.

"You forgot?" Gwen said, "Our first clue, the pipe, has an all-seeing eye on it."

"Gwen is right." Cao Gui nodded in agreement: "Maybe there are clues here."

"Quick, let's find it!" Harry urged.

Cao Gui looked around and found a metal protrusion on the rock wall.

"Aha!" Cao Gui's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think I found it!"

Cao Gui pushed away the dust on it, and the three of them looked at it closely. It was a relatively large cylindrical button.

"Open it up and have a look." Several people were excited, but fortunately, they did not give up.

Cao Gui suddenly pressed the button hard, and with a click, the rock wall painted with the Eye of Omniscience shook for a while, then moved slowly when it was hot, opening a gap.

"It seems that the treasure is in hand, guys." Cao Gui smiled and pushed the Shimen open suddenly.

"Haha, we succeeded!"

Gwen and Beth hugged each other, jumping and jumping, celebrating the victory ahead of time.

Harry's face was very excited. Finally, his father could take a breath, and he didn't have to urgently rush dangerous scientific research projects.

However, when Cao Gui turned the flashlight and took a look inside, his whole body froze, and the happy look on his face instantly solidified. Ballast

The inside was the same as the outside, covered with cobwebs, several candlesticks scattered on the ground, and several chairs were eaten and rotted by insects.

There is nothing but dust, no hidden treasure, no imagined gold.

Nothing at all!

"Damn it... Damn it..." Harry's red face suddenly turned pale, and the feeling was too painful to fall from heaven to hell.

Not only Harry, but Gwen and Beth's faces turned ashen.

The feeling of despair, hope, and finally finding hopelessness is too painful.

"Shet! You've been busy for nothing!"

Gwen's face flashed with anger, and he kicked on the chair. With a clatter, the chair was kicked and saw shavings fly.

Facing this huge gap, Gwen, the lady, couldn't help but lose her temper.

Cao Gui was frowning. This shouldn't be the case. I clearly remember that the treasure in the original book is real, and it is impossible for anyone to get there first before Zhao Si arrives.

"Cao, let's go back." Beth said, "I don't look for it anymore, it has been taken away."

"Guys, listen to me!" Cao Gui said in a deep voice, "The treasure really exists!"

"Think about it, we have come this way, has anyone found the traces of clues in advance?" Cao Gui looked around for a week and said in a loud voice:

"No!"

"No Declaration of Independence, no letter from Sirence Dugood, no glasses hidden in bricks!"

"So, the treasure is real!"

"We thought it was the end just now, but we found this secret room with hard work. If that's the case, then if we continue to work hard, maybe we can find another secret room!"

Cao Gui's words were so resonant that they regained some confidence.

The three of them looked at each other and decided to look for it again. After all... they've already come, so they can't leave empty-handed, right?

"And...you didn't find it, there are a lot of torches here." Cao Gui said in a deep voice.

"So what?" Beth asked.

"So this requires a lot of oxygen to ensure combustion." Gwen's eyes lit up and he said quickly:

"We have been using flashlights along the way, but we can see torches everywhere we go, which shows that the builder has prepared lighting equipment for those who come after."

"And the oxygen needed for lighting!"

"So, there really is a second secret room!" Beth exclaimed excitedly.

Cao Gui laughed, not bad, and finally recovered their emotions.

Seeing this, Cao Gui slowly searched in this secret room. Most of the clues to this treasure were related to the Declaration of Independence and the Eye of Omniscience. This place is not big and should be easy to find.

"Nothing, nothing," said Harry, shaking his head in frustration.

Thanks to the experience just now, he also had the same idea as Cao Gui, but there is nothing here, no murals There are no words, only walls and dust.

Cao Gui did not speak, but stood in front of the east wall, where several circular metal products were inlaid, one of which was concave, and the shape...was very similar to a meerschaum pipe.

Cao Gui took off the pipe rod, carefully put the meerschaum pipe into it, and found that the meerschaum pipe fit perfectly.

"Cao...it can't be that simple, right?" Harry leaned over and said worriedly.

"Should...no..." Cao Gui replied casually, inserted the pipe rod into a hole next to it, and turned it slowly.

Click!

There was a sudden sound on one side of the wall, a small stone door slowly opened, and a gust of wind blew, caused by the violent flow of air.

The eyes of the four suddenly lit up, and they walked quickly into the stone gate.

As soon as they crossed the stone gate, a burst of golden brilliance shone in front of them. A few people fixed their eyes and saw that there was a space the size of a basketball court in front of them. There were a lot of gold coins, gold nuggets and statues made of gold scattered.

"Look, am I right?" Cao Gui grinned: "The treasure is real!"
