Chapter 308: Joining Teachers
No wonder Liang Teng and Wu Xia were extremely surprised.
The two of them belonged to the well-informed people themselves, and the reason why they felt such a huge astonishment was that the guy who designed the "basement" passage had an ingenious idea.
The small building on the second floor is close to the wall of the "garden", and no redundant buildings have ever been built.But it is not an empty wall.
As mentioned before, the "garden" built by private individuals in this "siheyuan" has nearly ten tall trees planted there.The one with the largest diameter is next to the outer wall that is said to have a "secret door".
A huge ancient tree like that requires at least three adults to hug it. The tree is at least hundreds of years old.It is estimated that this huge ancient tree existed before the "Houhai Courtyard" was built.The original owner who purchased the land here specially found someone to make use of the terrain and design drawings.In this way, the ancient trees can be cleverly "integrated" into the "garden" position in the design drawing - the most valuable thing is that there is no sense of inconsistency at all when the ancient trees are placed in the garden position in the design drawing.As if one whole body.
This ancient tree can only be hugged by three adults.For such a huge ancient tree, it is perfectly fine to have a staircase inside the tree leading directly to the "basement".Especially if the staircase is designed as a "spiral" style and the "two-fold" or "three-fold" staircase is abandoned, the "spiral staircase" will occupy less space.
The "folding staircase" takes up too much space, and it is not impossible to fortify it into the old tree.But very reluctantly.However, if the "rotary staircase" is used, at least less than half of the space of the ancient tree will be occupied, and the stairs can be completely accommodated.
There is a "secret door" hidden in this ancient tree, which is most likely a "spiral staircase" leading directly to the "basement".From the second floor to enter the "rotary staircase" in the ancient tree, you need to activate the "switch" disguised as "blue bricks".And opening another "secret door" in the "basement" is probably not that complicated. You can push the door directly from a certain underground wall to enter.
It's just that the "door" connecting to the "basement" is well disguised.Just like the "secret door" on the wall on the second floor, before it is opened, it looks like a wall of blue bricks.The "secret door" on the wall of the "basement" must have been well disguised.At least a few days ago, Wu Xia asked Yan Qianyu to use the "drone" to search for the "secret door" in the "basement", but he couldn't find it, and found nothing.
According to the thinking logic of normal people, the passageway connecting the "basement" to the building above should be on the sky of the "basement".Unexpectedly, the original planner actually set up the upper and lower passages outside the wall of the small building.Another old tree next to the small building "covered", so the spiral staircase went down to the position outside the "basement" wall, and then passed a "secret door", and the door could be opened from the wall position of the "basement". And enter.
First of all, this design plan is indeed very clever.Another thing is that people (including Liang Teng and Wu Xia) have a fixed mindset. When they see an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves and full of vitality, no one would think that only half of the ancient tree is actually alive. tree body.In addition, the "old tree" next to the wall of the small building has actually been dug into half of the ground, and a "spiral staircase" has been installed to facilitate entry and exit from the "basement".
The "spiral staircase" actually only occupies one-third of the entire ancient tree.
There is still two-thirds of the tree body space, which is enough for the old tree to grow and prosper.
Looking at such an ancient tree full of vitality, who would think that it has "freed up" one-third of the space in the tree for people to build "passages".
The ancient tree is not a precious tree species, and the "siheyuan" is a private property. Therefore, after millions of ups and downs, no one went to "cut" the ancient tree for no reason, resulting in "something else" inside the tree. The secret of "Qian Kun" was discovered.
After understanding the truth, it is not difficult to get a reasonable explanation.The only difficulty is that before the truth is revealed, Liang Teng, Wu Xia, including Yan Qianyu, everyone just can't get around this "bend".
After sorting out the clues, Liang Teng and Wu Xia immediately felt refreshed.
They were also preparing to enter the "basement" openly through the "secret door" on the second floor to meet Yan Qianyu.
The "secret door" switch has been locked in the area of the "half wall" after Yan Qianyu's test.It's just half of the wall in that room, and it's probably only ten square meters. About 1 bricks are used for 100 square, and 10 square meters can be built for more than 1000 yuan.
But for the 18-thick wall, it is impossible for every "blue brick" to face the interior.In this way, Liang Teng and Wu Xia actually only need to "test" a few hundred "green bricks" to determine where the "secret door" is switched.
It's not a lot of work.It's just a matter of a few minutes.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia have learned from Yan Qianyu's mistakes. The only thing they need to pay special attention to is not to be like Yan Qianyu, when the "secret door" suddenly opened and she plunged in.In the "spiral staircase" keep rolling to the bottom of the "basement".
Yan Qianyu is a martial arts practitioner with high physical fitness, but I haven't seen her say that there is any "big problem".For someone else, if you break your hand or your leg, it will be "a lot of trouble".
But having said that, that Yan Qianyu was really rough.Isn't it just a "secret door"?How can it fall down at one end and roll into the "basement"? !
Liang Teng decided to press the wall next to the bed from the high "green bricks" first. For this reason, he specially brought a high chair outside.
Starting from the "blue bricks" on the high part of the wall, Liang Teng actually had his own ideas.He felt that if the blue brick itself was the "secret door" switch, it would be troublesome if it was set too low.That is, there is no guarantee that ordinary people who enter this room will not "mistakenly touch" such a switch.
Therefore, the "switch" must be set at a higher position, and in any case, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of "mistouching" by people.
It is reasonable to set the "switch" at a relatively high position.
Liang Teng's analysis and judgment are very correct.
He only pressed a dozen "green bricks" on the wall on the left side of the room, and he definitely didn't hit the number of 20. Right next to the wall of the ancient tree outside the wall, there was a "Kaka" sound. Click" a series of crisp sounds.
Liang Teng was overjoyed: Did he find the entrance to the "basement" that had haunted him for a long time?
Quickly looked down.
Just below the bed that had been moved, there was a door disguised as a "brick wall" that rotated open.
The door wasn't really that big.According to Liang Teng's visual inspection, the width is at most 55 centimeters, and the height should be 160 centimeters.It happened to be Yan Qianyu's height.If a man with a height of 1 meters like Liang Teng wants to go in, he must lower his head, or bend down.Yan Qianyu had no trouble in this regard at all.
Wu Xia still hadn't stopped the "video" communication with Yan Qianyu at this time. With the help of Miss Wu's mobile phone, Yan Qianyu could also see that Liang Teng had easily found the secret switch of the "basement" entrance.
Things went smoothly, as if Liang Teng knew where the "switch" was early in the morning.
Seeing that the "secret door" opened smoothly, Wu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.The mood became very good, and I couldn't help joking with Yan Qianyu: "Qianyu, you are the most skilled in martial arts among several people. The switch of the 'secret door' is set high on the wall, and the 'secret door' is set behind the bed. You went to a high place to turn on the 'switch', how could you fall into the door below? I can't figure it out."
Yan Qianyu was even more embarrassed.But there is nothing to hide from Wu Xia, to tell the truth: "At that time, I relied on knowing some boxing skills, so I didn't move high chairs, or 'pedals', and went to the high part of the wall to detect the location of the 'switch' .I rely entirely on my lightness skills to jump up and down to check whether there is a 'secret door' switch in the 'blue brick'..."
"In the end, I found it. Just like Boss Liang did just now, I pressed the 'switch' at the top, and there was a 'click-click' sound of the 'secret door' opening from below. But at that time, I held my breath and jumped up. Every time, I tried to press 4 'blue bricks' at once. As a result, the first 3 green bricks pressed that time were not 'switches'. When I pressed the 4th brick, it happened to be a 'secret door' switch. The door at the bottom clicked open. But by that time, my energy was almost exhausted, so I had to fall to the ground and take a breath."
"The place where I landed was, of course, the newly opened entrance. Who knew that it was the first time I pressed this kind of 'green brick' switch. I had no experience. I pressed the blue brick switch and only went halfway down. The 'secret door' underneath It was also half opened. When I couldn't wait to fall to the half-opened entrance and wanted to take a closer look at the scene inside, the half-opened 'secret door' bounced back under the pull of the spring."
"It is conceivable that the half-open secret door suddenly closed with a 'bang', and I had almost no time to react. I was hit by this secret door and went into the passage. There is a 'spiral staircase' inside. , how can I still stand still, I just slid and slid from the spiral staircase on the second floor, and slid to the bottom of the 'basement'!!!"
Liang Teng and Wu Xia didn't mean to laugh at Yan Qianyu's eloquent account of her dramatic process of entering the "basement".
If it weren't for this little girl's active and bold continuous attempts, it would be impossible to find out the extremely hidden "weird entrance" so quickly.
Liang Teng stood on the high chair, learned from Yan Qianyu's experience and lessons, and pressed the blue brick that had been determined to be the "switch" again.Press it all the way down to about a third of the depth.Keep pressing until the "blue brick" can no longer be pressed.
The "secret door" that was only half open continued to make a "click" sound and continued to open.
It didn't stop until the portal was completely "opened".At the same time, the ear-piercing sound that accompanied the opening of the door also stopped abruptly at this moment.
Liang Teng returned to the ground and, together with Wu Xia, carefully studied the "secret door" for a while.
It is fully opened, and it is estimated that it will not be able to automatically. Under the action of the "spring", the "secret door" suddenly bounced back and closed tightly.
After observing for another half a minute, I was sure that the "secret door" would not be closed.Liang Teng and Wu Xia walked into the "secret door" cautiously.
Only 50 centimeters wide, Liang Teng and Wu Xia had to turn their bodies sideways to pass through the narrow gate better.
Whether it is a narrow door or a narrow "spiral staircase", it is set up so as not to take up too much other space.It made Liang Teng and Wu Xia have to walk down carefully.I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if I "step into the air" under my feet.
The two of them are not as "fall-resistant" as Yan Qianyu.Yan Qianyu fell from the stairs all the way to the "basement", nothing serious happened.
After all, Yan Qianyu is the kind of martial arts master, and he recovered extremely quickly.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia didn't have that much confidence.If Yan Qianyu was as unlucky as Yan Qianyu and fell straight from the stairs to the "basement", he might fall into a disability.
Liang Teng and Wu Xia's physical fitness is far inferior to Yan Qianyu's.We can only fight steadily, step by step, and proceed cautiously towards the "basement".
It doesn't take much time to go down the stairs of the three floors (including the basement floor).
Finally, he and Yan Qianyu were underground and successfully "reunited".
Only then did Wu Xia conveniently press down the "video" with Yan Qianyu.
When Yan Qianyu saw the eldest lady in the "basement", she was rarely emotional.She couldn't help but gave Wu Xia a big hug.
The reason why she was so excited was not because she was really trapped in this "basement" and couldn't get out.The "secret door" located on the second floor can not only be opened in one direction.In fact, the "secret door" can also be pushed open from the inside.Moreover, it is easier to push the door open from the inside without pressing the "green brick" switch.
The reason why Yan Qianyu was as excited as she is now is mainly because she had to report to Wu Zhenting some "secret" things that belonged only to Liang Teng and Wu Xia yesterday because of her "duty".
Actions similar to "snitching" made Yan Qianyu very uneasy.Especially when facing Wu Xia, there was a sense of guilt that she had failed her trust.
It is precisely based on a complex psychology of "redemption" to Wu Xia and Liang Teng that Yan Qianyu worked extraordinarily hard to find the entrance to the "basement" for the two protagonists.
In the end, her luck was really not bad, and she actually found the entrance of the "secret door" according to her own thinking.
And it was done in such a short period of time.This is even more valuable.
How could Yan Qianyu be dissatisfied and excited at this moment?
Excited, she embraced Wu Xia vigorously, which was also an expression of her true feelings.Wu Xia didn't think she was losing her composure either.
In short, Wu Xia was also very happy to help Liang Teng find the real entrance to the basement of the "Houhai Courtyard".
In this way, countless troubles can be avoided!
First of all, there is no need to find a plasterer to demolish the two-storey building, and re-open a passage leading to the "basement".
The small building is made of hard blue bricks. If you use it for 100 years, you don't have to worry about it weathering.If there are conditions to not dismantle it, it is actually quite good not to dismantle it.
I think it is a bit outdated, you can put more effort into the decoration.
It's not really difficult at all.
