After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"General, there is something wrong here, but we have searched the whole hall and found no mechanism that can open it."

Inside the Sanqing Hall, Yuan Ji pointed to the huge painted mural behind the Sanqing statues, which depicted the "Chao Yuan Tu".

He knocked on it hard with his hands, and then turned to knock on the plain wall on the side.

Comparing the two, the sound coming from the side with the mural was indeed more hollow. It was obvious that there might be a secret room hidden behind the mural.

"Have I stepped on every floor tile?" Su Qinchao thought for a moment and set his eyes on the lotus-patterned floor tiles under his feet.

"I stepped on them! I even stepped on the three statues, the candles on the wall, and any slightly raised areas, but I didn't find anything."

"What about the roof?" Su Qin glanced at the long pole behind the temple door that lit the ceiling light, and looked up at the huge lotus lantern above the statue.

"That's not the case." Yuan Ji shook his head. He had thought about this before, but the lotus lantern was hung directly from the top beam with an iron chain, and there was no way it could be connected to the mechanism.

"Go and try it!" Usually the mechanisms are near the secret rooms. Although this Sanqing Hall is big, there are only so many things in it. Whenever possible, we should give it a try.

...

"It still doesn't work, General!" Yuan Ji held up a long pole and tried each lamp, even the lotus painting on top of the lamp.

Alas! Su Qinchao looked at the mural and sighed softly. Investigating cases was not his forte, and he knew very little about the mechanism. If he couldn't find the mechanism, he might really have to use violence to destroy it.

It's a pity that this exquisite "Chao Yuan Tu" was wasted. I wonder how much manpower, material resources and time were spent to paint it.

"What are you doing?" Just as Su Qinchao was about to order someone to open a doorway on the bottom side of the mural.

Several people hurried in from outside the hall, led by a young man wearing a dragon robe and jade belt, with clear features.

"Greetings, Prince Xiang!" Su Qinchao met the leader and bowed respectfully.

This prince of King Xiang was well-known in Chang'an for his love of hanging out in places of entertainment.

Every time it was his turn to lead people to patrol the streets, he would run into this prince coming out of various brothels in a daze.

"No need to be so polite!" Prince Xiang was also very surprised when he saw Su Qinchao and others clearly.

Why would this group of Jinwu Guards come here? Whenever the Jinwu Guards appear, it is usually related to a major case.

Now this Taoist temple is still under his name, so he was not very happy to see them.

Although he seldom attended court and was not well-informed, he knew that things in Chang'an were not peaceful recently.

Many children were missing in the counties under his jurisdiction, which aroused the emperor's anger. His father had asked him to behave himself yesterday...

"What happened here?" Prince Xiang asked patiently.

Originally, he came here today to discuss the eighteen forms of dual cultivation with the old Taoist in the temple.

He already understood the first seventeen moves, but because of Wu Niang's sudden disappearance, he had not yet had time to fully comprehend the last move.

He didn't know where Wu Niang had gone. He went to Wanhua Tower several times in the past two days, but couldn't find her.

"I heard that the prince is familiar with a woman in Wanhua Tower?" Su Qinchao did not directly answer the question of Prince Xiang.

"What's wrong?" Could this missing child case be related to Wu Niang? That's impossible. Wu Niang is just a weak prostitute.
