"Are you from the martial arts world? Do you want to steal martial arts secrets?" The maid did not answer, but asked with her eyes rolling around.

"As expected of a maid from a wealthy family, she's used to seeing murders. Even when she was restrained, she didn't panic. She's not being honest at all. Gang Leader Feng, give her some punishment."

It would have been fine if the maid didn't answer the question, but she actually kept asking back. Who was interrogating whom?

Jiang Weichen immediately suggested that Feng Chuan torture him, but he himself had no experience in torture and was not very good at it.

In the past, torture was as simple and brutal as chopping off hands and feet.

But this method is not suitable for the current situation.

Feng Chuan didn't have the patience to waste time with this maid, so he pointed his index finger just above her chest.

The true energy left the body and was injected into the acupuncture points through the fingers. The maid's expression suddenly changed. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were squinting and opening, and her gaze kept looking at herself.

"It's itchy, so itchy. I'll tell you, the secret book is hidden in the Langhuan Jade Cave in the backyard." The maid finally couldn't help but speak.

Feng Chuan pointed his finger again, and the maid finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Weichen noticed that Feng Chuan pressed the Hegu point, but pressing the Hegu point normally would not cause unbearable itching.

It should be because Feng Chuan injected true energy into it. Mr. Yang did not know martial arts, and the acupoint knowledge he taught was just ordinary knowledge.

However, injecting true qi into acupuncture points seems to have somewhat different effects from acupuncture, so I'll have to study it more carefully in the future.

"Take us there, and don't make any noise or talk loudly on the way." Feng Chuan said immediately after getting the answer.

The maid nodded.

When Li Qingluo was not around, the maids were more relaxed. Some of them were in the house in groups of three or five, while others were gathered among the flowers chatting and playing. They were not on guard at all.

The three of them easily avoided the crowd and came to the backyard. The maid stopped after passing several rockery.

Jiang Weichen looked around and didn't find any road, but there was an obvious square gap in a rockery in front of him.

But the gap is very small and it is not easy to find without careful observation.

Jiang Weichen sighed, "If we look for it at night, we won't be able to find it no matter what. It's not easy to find even during the day."

Feng Chuan also nodded and pushed hard, but found that the rockery did not move at all.

So he said to the maid, "Open the mechanism!"

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know the mechanism. Madam usually doesn't allow us to come here. Usually, Madam Yan is guarding here, and only a few people can enter and leave."

Jiang Weichen pushed and pressed at several places near the gap, but couldn't find the mechanism.

Feng Chuan also tried to open the stone door, but failed.

"Does anyone in the villa know the mechanism?"

“Everyone who knows has left, and none of us who are left know.”

Feng Chuan asked, "Killed?"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. If you let me go, I won't tell anyone."

The maid's face turned pale and she begged for mercy nervously.

Jiang Weichen replied: "Let's find the mechanism first!"

The two continued to try, but after a quarter of an hour, they still couldn't find the mechanism.

Jiang Weichen felt that he should take some time to study the art of mechanism in the future.

Feng Chuan also looked at Jiang Weichen, and the two of them stared at each other. They found the place where the secret book was hidden, but they couldn't find the mechanism.

The two had no choice but to expand the search range and no longer search around the stone gate.

Half an hour later, five meters away, Jiang Weichen accidentally stepped on a piece of bluestone, and it immediately sank a palm's distance.

Jiang Weichen was delighted and turned to look at the stone door. No movement? Not a trap?

But this bluestone is a mechanism, otherwise how could it sink so neatly the distance of a palm?

Jiang Weichen raised his foot, but the bluestone did not return to its original position.

This is really weird. I searched for a mechanism within a radius of ten meters before I found it. It’s not for opening the stone door?

Feng Chuan walked over and took a closer look before saying, "It should be a double mechanism."

Jiang Weichen had never studied mechanisms in his past or present life, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

Feng Chuan explained: "You can think of this as the first mechanism, and the mechanism that opens the stone door as the second mechanism.

You have to open the first mechanism first before you can open the second mechanism and then open the stone door.

If you don't open the first mechanism, you can't open the stone door even if you encounter the second mechanism. You have to follow the order.

And sometimes the first mechanism is not only a prerequisite for opening the second mechanism, but also an early warning device.

Once we find the first mechanism and trigger the warning device, we won't have time to find the second one."

Jiang Weichen understood. This is equivalent to one, two, three, one first, then two, and then three. The order cannot be messed up.

Jiang Weichen touched the first mechanism, but there was no movement on the island. It seemed that there was no early warning function.

Jiang Weichen asked, "Could there be a third mechanism?"

Chapter 96 Collection of Books

Feng Chuan's face froze, "That shouldn't be the case!"

The two of them have been searching for the first mechanism for such a long time, and they still don’t know where the second one is. How are they going to find another one?

Fortunately, everyone in Mantuo Villa had left, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago.

Feng Chuan said: "This first mechanism is activated. The second mechanism should be near the stone gate. Now go back and try again."

The two of them went back and pressed and rotated the buttons one by one, and soon they found the mechanism one foot to the left of the stone gate.

It was a stone that protruded upward at an angle. No matter how I pressed or rotated it, it didn't respond at all.

But now, with a light press, it sinks in like a keychain, and the protruding part sinks directly.

Immediately afterwards, the stone gate made a movement, first sinking inwards and then moving to the right.

A downward slanting passage suddenly appeared in front of the two people.

"Oh, it's really not easy to find this mechanism!" Feng Chuan sighed.

Jiang Weichen said, "Boss Feng, take the maid with you and let's go in."

Feng Chuan untied the maid's immobilizing acupoints, and the maid stretched her body before slowly walking into the passage.

There are stone troughs on both sides of the passage, inlaid with luminous pearls. Although the entire passage is not as bright as during the day, it does not affect vision.

At this moment, the stone door suddenly closed. Jiang Weichen looked at the situation and said, "Boss Feng, this is not a double mechanism, right?"

Would it take me a long time to find a mechanism to get out? If this stone chamber wasn't ventilated, wouldn't I suffocate to death after a while?

Feng Chuan's face also looked a little bad. It was just a stone chamber, why was there so much trouble?

The two of them hurriedly turned back to look for the mechanism. This time it was much easier. They found the mechanism in two minutes and reopened the stone door.

But then again, if the mechanism for getting in is so complicated, it makes sense that the mechanism for getting out can be simpler.

A few minutes later, the stone door closed again. This time, the two men turned and walked towards the passage. After walking diagonally down seven or eight meters, a huge stone chamber three meters high, ten meters long and wide appeared before them.

There were rows of bookshelves in the stone chamber, and there were many books on each shelf.

The entire stone chamber was as bright as day under the illumination of the night pearl.

Feng Chuan exclaimed, "Are these all martial arts secrets?"

"They should all be. Even if they aren't, they are rare books. Ordinary books are not worth collecting like this."

Jiang Weichen was very happy to see so many martial arts, and his heart beat faster.

Feng Chuan said in disbelief, "My Giant Whale Gang has existed on Taihu Lake for decades, and we've only collected 20 to 30 secret manuals.

How did Mantuo Villa collect so many martial arts books? There must be thousands of them."

Jiang Weichen joked, "Who lets me be a second-generation person?"

These martial arts were collected by Wuyazi and Li Qiushui, and perhaps some of them were collected by Xiaoyaozi as well.

Li Qingluo simply moved it from Wuliang Mountain.

However, Li Qingluo has so many martial arts secrets, but she is not even a congenital one. Her mind is full of love and romance. It is such a waste.

The two of them came to the bookshelf, picked up a book, flipped through it a few times, put it down, picked it up again, flipped through it, and put it down again.

Boxing, swordsmanship, knife techniques, palm techniques, internal strength and so on.

The most common thing is various martial arts, which are extremely diverse and include all kinds of weapons.

Jiang Weichen picked up a secret book and said with a smile, "Boss Feng, come and see if this is the internal skill passed down in your family?"

Feng Chuan was startled, put down the secret book of the Flower-Picking Finger in his hand, and walked over to take the secret book from Jiang Weichen's hand.

There were three big words written on the cover: Shuilongyin!

His expression changed as he flipped through the pages. He quickly turned to the second page, the third page... until the last page, and then he sighed:

"It is indeed my family's internal skills, and it is even more profound and mysterious."

Feng Chuan also couldn't understand why his family's internal skills were still there, and seemed to be even more complete.

His family's internal skills have never been lost. Could it be that they have been modified and improved by someone?

But considering that all 72 Shaolin unique skills are there, it is not surprising that he has his family's internal skills.

Feng Chuan then asked, "There are so many martial arts, I can't remember them all in one go. Why don't I ask my men to move them all away?"

With these inheritances, his Giant Whale Gang will surely grow stronger.

"Boss Feng, are you sure?"

Feng Chuan asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Boss Feng, what we did wasn't completely flawless. Taihu Lake has a wide view, and who knows, someone might have seen us entering Mantuo Villa.

We deceived Li Qingluo before, which was not a big deal. Li Qingluo would be angry, but she would not pursue it too much.

But if all of someone else's martial arts are taken away, she will definitely pursue the matter when she comes back.
