"Then if according to Ah Ying's statement, the man in front of him has no chance to leave the Nozhi Building, then this means that the information he possesses has not been sent out!"

After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao's expression became excited: "That's right, we have to take a closer look to see if there is anything fishy about him."

Yue Guanchao took a bronze lamp and searched the body carefully, not missing any detail.

From the top of his head to his lumbar spine to his legs and feet, he rummaged through everything he needed to find, but he really couldn't find any clues.

"It's weird, there's nothing!

Yue Guanchao scratched his head a few times and was confused: "Could it be that our guess is wrong? There is no clue of the treasure in this person."

Everyone couldn't find anything for a long time and were about to stop. Song Siyuan glanced inadvertently and saw the hanging corpse's hands tightly holding it.

She had an idea and looked at everyone:

"We broke open the hands of the hanging corpse. His hands were very strange. His ten fingers were wrapped into balls. It was obviously to hide something."

"good!"

Yue Guanchao wanted to cut off the hanging corpse's hand with a dagger, but Song Siyuan quickly stopped him and took out a mahogany dagger from her backpack:

"The dagger is too sharp. If the chain is cut and something strange happens, we will use the mahogany sword to open his fingers and see what's inside!"

He understood, picked up the mahogany sword and stabbed it between his fingers.

There was a crunching sound, and the corpse's fingers were spread open one by one, like blooming chrysanthemums!

Yue Guanchao held the bronze lamp close to his finger, and a leather scroll with regular edges appeared in front of his eyes. Judging from the color and text, it was obviously from the scroll in Dian Wu's hand.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and Song Siyuan said excitedly:

"Finally found it. Our guess was correct. After the bandit killed the witch, he got the fragments containing clues to the treasure. But for some unknown reason, he was hanged here and has never been discovered."

Song Siyuan's words made everyone's hearts sink. Aying looked at her with strange eyes: "Sister Siyuan, if Tang Dianrong's soldiers and bandits are not dead yet, after more than 20 years, they still can't find the hanging man." There are fragments of scrolls in it, isn’t that weird!”

"Yeah, I'm curious too, can't they see the body? Or can't they see this room?"

As soon as Lu Fengjian said these words, everyone finally understood where the monster in the library was.

Yue Guanchao looked at everyone: "When we closed the door just now, those cowards seemed to be talking about a library. Do you still have any impressions?"

"They seem to be asking why there is a library here."

Ah Ying heard clearly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces had never been so cold!

If Ah Ying heard correctly, this meant that the library they were in had not existed at all for more than twenty years. It only appeared out of thin air after their arrival, and the door was not even locked, allowing them to take refuge.

Only such speculation can explain why the soldiers and bandits are so curious about the new library.

Its appearance was definitely not accidental, it seemed to have led them into it deliberately. As for why this ghost pavilion attracted them, no one knew.

Combined with the sudden stop of the footprints in the corridor and the shadows of Aying's parents, they had reason to believe that they had stepped into the trap of some mysterious force.

Everyone thought clearly about the strangeness, and felt tingling sensations on their backs and on their scalps. This kind of thought was extremely frightening, and made everyone's hearts pound with horror.

Ah Ying was timid to begin with, so when she was frightened, she looked around and said, "You guys, there can't be a ghost in this library, otherwise it could appear out of thin air."

This sudden sentence made everyone present fall silent.

Along the way, the things they encountered were so mysterious that it was difficult to explain clearly.

"Isn't it a little too quiet outside?"

Song Siyuan was about to comfort everyone, but before she could say anything, she found that the shouting and cursing outside the pavilion disappeared, and the surroundings were silent except for their breathing.

"Is it because I couldn't shoot away and ran away?"

Xiao Wu guessed casually.

"This group of bastards, it's so hard to find a living person, how can it be so easy to let us go? It's evil, it's absolutely evil."

Yue Guanchao led everyone towards the stone gate. Before he even approached the pavilion door, he immediately smelled a strange smell.

"Smell it carefully, it smells weird."

He shrank his nose in the air, and the smell did flow in through the crack in the door. As more and more gas became available, his pupils dilated instantly.

"This is... gunpowder!"

Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao said in unison.

"No, these soldiers and bandits got old explosives outside."

"Hurry up and cover your ears, get down, and stay away from the door!"

"Boom...bang!"

Not long after they covered their ears, there was a loud bang outside the pavilion.

The loud noise startled everyone.

The library shook left and right like an earthquake, becoming more and more bumpy.

Countless classics crashed to the ground and were scattered in piles.

The copper pages of the library seemed to be playing chimes, tinkling and wailing, and the rubble cracked from the cracks in the roof and door, causing the rustic atmosphere in the pavilion to ripple and make people breathless.

Yue Guanchao was unable to dodge and was hit in the neck by a flying stone, leaving a bloody mark on the spot.

"Hiss...well...these bastards dare to use explosives to blow us up."

Yue Guanchao looked at his companions. They were all hit by gravel, with several blood marks on their faces.

"Well, this is lucky. The library is stronger than I expected. If it is blown up by explosives, the consequences will be disastrous."

Song Siyuan motioned him to look back, and Yue Guanchao glanced back a few times, then his eyes widened.
