Devil's Law

Chapter 14 [Treasure in the Study I]

In the ancient castle at night, in this old study full of old atmosphere, Du Wei stood under the candlelight around him, quietly raising his head and looking up at the oil painting on the wall.

After falling into a short silence, Du Wei did not get a response from the other party.

He seemed to frown: "No answer?" The face in the oil painting still looked into Du Wei's eyes.

Du Wei smiled, but he smiled with bad intentions. He walked slowly, then pushed over a high staircase, climbed up the bookshelf, and then stretched out his hands to try to remove the oil painting.

The man in the oil painting showed a trace of panic on his face. In the painting, his eyes looked at Du Wei's face, and his eyes were already in a panic.

"Wow!" Du Wei tried his best to remove the oil painting from the wall. Obviously, such a heavy thing is difficult for a weak half-age teenager like Du Wei to lift. Du Wei felt that his arms were sore. But to his surprise, there was nothing behind the oil painting!

It's not an organ! No one hides behind the oil painting and looks at himself! It's the oil painting itself!

Du Wei was a little serious and carefully came down the stairs with the oil painting.

The faces in the oil painting are bitter, and the eyes are even more uneasy.

"What the hell are you?" Du Wei said in a low voice, "A living figure in the painting?"

The eyes in the oil painting are a little dodged.

"Well, this painting is a portrait of the ancestor of the Luolin family who was the marshal of the empire. You're not the ancestor who came back to life, are you? Du Wei smiled and then shook his head and said, "This doesn't make sine. Because that ancestor is more than 200 years old now.

And this painting is obviously painted by later generations in memory of their ancestors. I'm still the same problem... What the hell are you?

After asking for a while, he didn't answer. Du Wei sank his face and said, "Oh, won't you say it? Then don't regret it."

He pointed to the candlestick around him: "You see, there are a lot of candlelights here. If you don't say anything, I will burn you. Guess I dare?

After saying that, he turned around and took a lit candle and slowly approached the oil painting.

The people in the oil painting suddenly changed their faces, undisguised panic, and their eyes were full of anxiety and begging for mercy. They looked at the candles and flames in Du Wei's hand. The people in the oil painting could only look at Du Wei pleadingly, with an anxious face.

Just as the flame was about to touch the canvas, Du Wei moved the candle and nodded: "Well, it seems that you really can't speak? Can you talk?"

The person in the oil painting shook his head quickly.

"So, what on earth are you?" Du Wei's eyes are shining! A living oil painting! Is it something made by some kind of magic? As for Du Wei's question, the oil painting could not answer. After getting out of the danger of being burned, the people in the oil painting also seemed to take a breath, and then looked at Du Wei with interest.

Du Wei tried to ask a few questions about the oil painting, but it was difficult to communicate because the other party could not speak. Oil paintings can only make reluctant nods and shake their heads at most. After trying for a long time, I didn't ask anything.

Each person drew a picture and stared at each other like this.

At this moment, a big clock on the wall of the study rang slowly! It's midnight!

Du Wei suddenly seemed to see a glimmer of light slowly emanating from the eyes of the characters in the oil painting! Then I seemed to hear a gentle sigh in my ear!

Although the voice was a little erratic, Du Wei heard it clearly. It was clearly the sound of people sighing!

"Listen to me! Because I was in a kind of magic, I could speak briefly when the midnight sounded for the rest of my life.

When the bell is over, I can't make a sound! Now I'll just say it once! There is a hidden secret room in this study! There are some babies in the secret room! I can guide you to get those treasures, and then I need your help. One of the treasures can lift my magic.

Du Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at the oil painting: "Are you talking?" Yes! There is no time to explain." The sound of oil painting is fast.

He said, "Now you start checking with the third oil painting on the wall, and there are instructions on it. You follow the instructions. If you are not a fool, you should be able to find it. ..."

Dong~!

Midnight has passed, and with the end of the last bell, the light in the oil painting's eyes gradually disappeared. Then the voice stopped.

Du Wei looked up and down at the oil painting, and the people inside were also looking at him, with an expression of request on his face.

"Oh, you said you were enchanted, didn't you?" Du Wei smiled and said, "You said that there is also a secret room in this study. There is a treasure hidden in the secret room that can lift your magic. Is that right?"

Every time he asked, the oil figure clicked his head. There was a longing expression on his face.

"Well, so, is this good for me?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Why should I help you?"

The face of the character in the picture changed, and then the prayer in his eyes became stronger, as if he desperately wanted to say something, but unfortunately he couldn't say a word.

"Forget it, I also think it's strange anyway. Just think it's to satisfy my curiosity." Du Weiyang raised his hand, then climbed along the ladder to the bookshelf, and carefully observed the third oil painting on the wall according to the prompts of the characters in the painting when the bell just rang.

The third oil painting is also a portrait of an ancestor of the Luolin family. The ancestor was wearing the uniform of a naval general with a serious face... His eyes were flat, as if he were looking at the distance.

Du Wei checked carefully for a while, but he didn't see any trace from the oil painting. He even tried to remove the oil painting and check the back, but he got nothing.

Du Wei stood on the stairs and thought carefully for a while. He was not anxious, but patiently rechecked every detail. After three more incontent checks, Du Wei's heart suddenly moved and carefully looked at the characters in the oil painting. Well, the eyes of the characters in the painting... Look up and look ahead.

Du Wei's heart moved! Immediately search in the direction of the eyes of the characters in the picture!

This is on the opposite wall! The characters in the painting seem to be looking at a knight's sword hanging on the opposite wall with their eyes!

Du Wei immediately pushed the stairs to the opposite side of the room.

Such a tossing back and forth made a 13-year-old boy's physical strength a little unbearable. But the strong curiosity in his heart drives him.

After checking the knight's sword on the wall, Du Wei found that the blade of the sword was pointing at the bookshelf next to him!

He groped for the bookshelf in the direction again.

Finally, he found it!

On the beam of the bookshelf, Du Wei touched a line of uneven marks. He calmed down a little and finally found that it was actually a line of text!

However, these words were written in reverse! Therefore, if others accidentally touch this place, if you don't observe the flowers carefully, you will probably think it is just an ordinary pattern.

Du Wei read a line of words written in the opposite direction carefully.

"The mystery lies in the night sky, and the huge spoon is the key to guiding the way forward."

Du Wei couldn't help laughing bitterly.

What is this? Guess the riddle?

He sighed, slid down the stairs, and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his head and thinking about the riddle.

"The sky at night... A huge spoon..."

Finally, Du Wei suddenly stood up, and hope appeared on his face again.

What's in the sky at night, stars!

What about the huge spoon? So don't ask, it must be the Big Dipper! Isn't the shape of the Big Dipper in the sky like a huge spoon?

Du Wei thought this out and immediately searched on the bookshelf in the study! The stars... The stars...

The study has something to do with the stars.. Well, it must be a bookshelf for astrology books!

Soon, through the index catalogue, Du Wei found a bookshelf specializing in astrology books. He climbed up and looked for it, and then, following the guidance of the "spoon", he carefully groped in the seventh row of the bookshelf.

He looked through almost one by one, and finally, when he twitched a book, he obviously felt that the book was extremely heavy! This is actually a book with metal texture!

Moreover, after twitching, there was soon a dull clicking sound of the wheel turning in the wall. Finally, with a bang, the whole bookshelf slowly turned itself. Behind the bookshelf, on the wall, a black hole entrance was exposed...
