Acai's Sky

Chapter 512: Sinful Dream Hua Shang (Nightmare) 20

The corners of Ah Cai's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, as if expressing her inner helplessness.

What era is this? It is really shocking that there are still people who openly use antique items like the civilized stick.

Chief Yu's anger was palpable, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

"You...you bunch of guys, why don't you go back to the main hall of the Taoist temple and get some incense to worship? Are you just going to foolishly wait to get beaten?"

He demanded sternly, his voice filled with undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Liu immediately ordered the guards beside him to return to the main hall to get the tribute incense.

After all, if you don’t burn incense, this library will be like it’s sealed and cannot be opened at all.

And high in the sky, the invisible Jin Yuanbao, the little lucky golden rat, also looked unhappy.

The person who just came in was so rude that he broke the tribute incense made by the host himself. He was so naughty that people wanted to throw him over their shoulders!

Golden Raccoon waved the civilized stick in his hand like beating a drum, hitting Wei Lao's assistant continuously from multiple directions and angles, his anger was beyond words.

Xuan Chen blew a cold wind with water spirit, turning it into a strong gust of wind, which hit everyone's face directly, making people shiver as if they were in an ice cellar.

The dog Feiyue moves around the secret room as fast as lightning, and if he doesn't like someone, he won't hesitate to give him a "close contact".

Everyone in the Special Affairs Bureau looked at the bizarre events and "tragedies" happening in the secret room in amazement, as if they were watching a free acrobatic show.

Yao Wannian also looked displeased. He said in a deep voice, "After entering the secret room, you guys still call yourselves history experts? You don't even know what to do and what not to do. You're really wasting your titles!"

Taoist Lingxu was even more furious. He held the broken incense stick in his hand and said sternly as if he was holding an imperial sword:

"Do you know that this is tribute incense made using ancient methods? Such precious tribute incense was broken so easily by you. Who else should I beat if not you? This is outrageous!"

Taoist Mingyue, a disciple of Taoist Lingxu, also picked up a broken incense stick and sniffed it gently, as if he could smell the fragrance of a thousand years. He exclaimed in admiration:

"These are made with the finest spices. I'm afraid in ancient times, only the royal family could afford them! What a waste of natural resources!"

Director Feng also came over and picked up a broken incense stick. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world:

"The things in this Taoist temple are truly top-notch! They must be well protected. They are all rare antiques that only appear once in a thousand years. They are priceless!"

"Da da da……"

The little soldier ran back like an arrow, holding the incense and candles he had just retrieved tightly in his hands, as if he was holding a life-saving straw.

At the moment the main hall was restored, the incense and candles used for offerings were also carefully returned to their original positions one by one, as if nothing had happened.

Staff Officer Liu was quick to light a stick of incense and handed it respectfully to Chief Yu.

Chief Yu was not polite either. He strode forward and inserted the incense in his hand steadily into the incense burner.

Everyone held their breath and waited. At this moment, they saw that the old assistant Wei who had gotten into trouble for breaking the tribute incense had been beaten so hard that his face was swollen. He looked like a balloon that had been blown up. His original appearance was almost unrecognizable. People couldn't help but sigh:

"This guy is really living up to the saying 'If you don't seek death, you won't die' with his life!"

"In the video of Xiaoxian Suicide Squad...

Xiao Xiaoxian's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Wow, this is too brutal! Look at how badly that little assistant was beaten. It's like she was abducted by aliens. Even if her parents were here, they'd have to do a DNA test to identify her!"

Lu Yingqi curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Hmph, he deserves it! In this line of work, you have to keep your eyes and ears open. He's so blind, beating him up like a peach blossom is his 'special reward'!"

Shi Xiuqin's face was solemn. "This place is clearly experiencing paranormal activity. He's so careless! He's truly as hardheaded as iron!"

Tong Acai suddenly changed the subject: "Hey, do you think Xiaoxian's background is in that real estate sales office? What are the houses there like? I want to buy a few too!"

Xiao Xiaoxian simply held up the property brochure and said proudly, "How is it? Can you see clearly? This new property looks pretty good to me! This place was only built in 2000, and the prices are so cheap, it's like giving it away for free!"

Tong Acai was immediately tempted when she heard this: "Oh, then you can buy me a few sets too. I want to be your neighbor! I'll fly over in a few days, and we can be companions!"

Lu Yingqi looked envious: "It's a pity that I'm too far away from you. I'm still in school. When the holidays come, I will definitely go to see you!"

...

The tribute incense slowly burned to ashes, and the incense burner then cleverly and automatically disappeared into the wall, as if it had never existed.

Then, the entire wall slowly rose again and extended upward, like a magnificent barrier being slowly opened.

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by a low and powerful sound, everyone present was dumbfounded and deeply shocked by this strange sight.

Dean Feng's assistant held a camera and meticulously recorded the entire breathtaking process.

He muttered to himself, "This wall must be at least one meter thick, right? It's incredible that such a huge weight can be lifted up so easily."

Dean Feng stared deeply at the still flickering lights in the secret room, then turned to look at the leaders around him and said thoughtfully:

"Once everyone leaves, the wall will fall back down. Could it be that this wall has a weighing function? It will only remain raised when the weight reaches a certain value?"

Yao Wannian turned to look at Taoist Lingxu, his eyes filled with curiosity and admiration. "Your Taoist mechanical skills are truly astonishing. Not only can they be cleverly hidden, but they can also be controlled according to weight. It's truly eye-opening."

Taoist Lingxu glanced at Director Yao and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Let's think about how to get the book out first. To offset the weight of the book, I'm afraid we'll need to prepare a lot of lead blocks. Otherwise, every time we want to enter the secret room, we have to burn incense and pray first."

Brigade Commander Peng slapped his forehead helplessly, groaning inwardly.

Chief Yu had originally wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but now it seems that he can't do that easily.

They also had to laboriously carry lead blocks to solve this tricky problem.

"In the Xiaoxian Suicide Squad video...

Lu Yingqi's eyes widened in disbelief. "This secret room can actually be used to measure weights? Could it be that there's a giant scale hidden underneath this room?"

Xiao Xiaoxian shook her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with awe for the wisdom of the ancients: "The wisdom of the ancients is endless. Many of the techniques and methods we use today are actually leftovers from the ancients. It's just that we often overlook this and fail to delve deeper into it and pass it on."

Tong Acai nodded in agreement, "Yes, just like the compilation of the simplest 'almanac'. At the beginning of every dynasty, every effort was made to compile the 'almanac' to guide the people in their daily activities like farming and weaving. This reflects the ancients' profound understanding and application of astronomy, calendar, and the laws of nature."
