In just one second, he had memorized it all.
There was no pop-up window for free reading!
The Bai family's private storehouse was divided into two rooms.
The outermost room was filled with gold, silver, and jewels. However, among the aristocratic families, these were not the most valuable.
The men did not even look at the silver. They went straight through them and went to the back.
The door leading from the outermost room to the inner-most room was still locked.
The man in charge of unlocking the door immediately came out to pick the lock. With a crisp click, the door was finally unlocked.
They could not wait any longer and entered the inner room, leaving only one man outside to keep watch.
For some reason, the door closed automatically as soon as the man entered.
The guard looked at the door cautiously, but he didn't hear any other sounds.
Perhaps it was a mechanism in the private storehouse.
He had just taken a few steps toward the door when he suddenly thought of something and dashed toward the door.
However, there was already someone lurking in the dark.
The man stopped abruptly because the eyes of the man in front of him were like those of a wild beast staring at its prey, locking on to all signs of life.
Compared to the people outside, the people inside were not much better.
The door slammed shut almost as soon as they entered.
Their first reaction was to check if there was any mechanism in the door. However, what made them uneasy was that the door was not moving at all.
In an instant, they sensed something.
The rest of them leaned against the door and looked around vigilantly.
"Why have you graced my Bai Clan with your presence?"
Bai Shi 'an asked with a gloomy expression, carrying a white lantern.
The men exchanged glances with each other. Traces of murderous intent appeared in their eyes.
He seemed to be unaware of it and said coldly, "It seems that you don't intend to tell me the truth."
The men pushed off with their feet and used the momentum to attack him. The knives in their hands were aimed at Bai Shi 'an's chest. These men really wanted his life!
In a flash, Bai Shi 'an's figure did not even move. A long sword appeared in the dark.
In just one round, the thief's scimitar fell from his hand and clanked as it fell to the ground.
Bai Shi'an's face darkened, and his eyes grew increasingly hostile.
"You came to my house and now you want to kill me? No matter who your master is, my Bai Family will not let him off! "
Those people finally realized that the situation was not good. From the looks of it, they had probably been prepared.
Now that they were trapped in the private vault, they were like turtles in a jar.
The few of them had undergone rigorous training and knew that they would definitely be tortured if they were caught. Just as they were about to crush the poison hidden in their teeth, they suddenly realized that they had no strength left.
"If you want to commit suicide with poison in front of me, you'll have to ask for my permission first."
A soft and gentle voice came from the darkness.
The few of them fell to the ground one after another. Their eyelids drooped as they tried their best to look around.
Bai Shi'an snorted coldly. He walked to the side and lit the oil lamps in the private storeroom one by one.
With the arrival of light, they could finally see everything clearly.
However, there were only three people. One of them was the Bai Clan's Third Master, while the other two were a man and a woman.
The man was tall and had an extraordinary aura. He had a cold expression on his face.
The woman was dignified and beautiful. Her eyes reflected the light of the fire, which made her look somewhat demonic.
The Gong Family!
The few of them were shocked. They never dreamed that they would be defeated by the Gong Family.
Before they could accept this fact, the door of discord opened again. It was the Second Master of the Gong Family. He walked in carrying a limp fellow.
The Second Master of the Gong Family threw his unconscious companion on the ground. His face was cold.
"It's because of you bastards that I had to chase after you for a few days. Tsk, do you think you're worthy? "
The disdain in the Second Master's eyes made the thieves feel indignant.
However, they had already fallen into the trap. They could not even lift a finger, let alone commit suicide. They only had enough strength to lift their eyelids.
Lin Mengya looked down at the thieves from above. Her eyes were merciless.
"Don't worry, Second Brother. They will pay the price. Third Master Bai, I'll leave them to you. Don't worry if they are tough. Use a stone mill to grind them up bit by bit. "
Although the woman's voice was very gentle, when it fell into the ears of those thieves, they felt a deep chill seeping out from the cracks of their bones.
Bai Shi 'an was furious.
Everyone had a sore spot. Bai Shi 'an wanted to protect his family for the rest of his life.
However, these people had hurt his family.
For the first time, there was a hint of cruelty in his usually bright eyes.
People should not be forced into a corner.
The Bai Family would naturally take care of these people.
Bai Shi 'an and Gong Er threw them out of the private warehouse one by one, as if they were catching chickens. Lin Mengya did not have to worry about anything else.
They had won this round for the time being. However, Lin Mengya had a bigger question in her mind.
What was the thing that these people were trying so hard to obtain?
"Aren't you going out?"
Long Tianhao asked when he saw that his wife had no intention of leaving.
Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "Before I came, Master Bai told me that the most precious part of the book collection that the Bai Family promised to show me is hidden here. Anyway, it's a rare opportunity. I want to see it with my own eyes. "
Long Tianhao did not object.
However, he was not very interested in the classics and history. He just stood aside and followed her with his eyes.
The private vault was the most important place for every family.
For Patriarch Bai to do this, it was obvious that he was sincere.
Lin Mengya did not look through the property deeds and account books. Instead, she followed Master Bai's instructions and went to the second half of the inner room.
There were six oversized bookshelves on the wall.
In each of the drawers, there were rare and incomplete copies of books.
She started from the first shelf. Soon, she found that these books were not only about literature, but also about all kinds of subjects.
Fortunately, with the help of the System, she only needed to flip through them briefly and the System would be able to copy the contents.
Although it was not very kind, as long as these books were used well, there would not be a lack of teaching materials in the academy. Moreover, the teaching level would be improved.
Long Tianhao did not just stand there and watch. He took the initiative to climb up to get the books.
Their speed was very fast, and they gradually reached the last bookshelf.
Lin Mengya was a little tired. Even though it did not take much effort to read one book, it was a little tiring when there were so many of them.
"Do you want these too?"
Long Tianhao stepped on the ladder and took out a small square box from the top drawer.
Lin Mengya looked up and asked, "Can you open it?"
He turned it over and over, but found that the box did not seem to have any opening. Judging from its weight, it did not seem to be solid.
Lin Mengya was about to ask him to put the box back, but she suddenly remembered what Second Madam Bai had said.
What those people were looking for, wasn't it just a book sealed in a box?
Long Tianhao waved at him, climbed down quietly with the box and handed it to her.
She looked at the box and the system activated the detection mode.
However, the detection result told her that the box was welded shut and there was indeed a book inside.
But other than that, there seemed to be nothing special.
This was a little difficult. After all, it was someone else's thing. No matter how curious she was, it was not appropriate for her to break the box and have a look.
Why don't we go ask Patriarch Bai?
She had an idea in her mind. She put the box aside carefully and was going to take it out and ask him when she went out.
But strange things happened one after another.
In addition to the first iron box, they found a few more iron boxes on the last shelf.
These boxes looked a little different, but there was one thing they had in common, and that was that they were all welded together.
This was a little strange.
Logically speaking, if the Bai Family didn't intend to release these books to the world, then it was reasonable for them to seal them.
However,
She looked at these boxes of different shapes. Could it be that the previous generations of the Bai Family's Patriarchs had such leisure time?
Long Tianhao felt the same, but he had always been expressionless, so he did not show much surprise.
Lin Mengya casually fiddled with these boxes. Suddenly, she was stunned.
Her consciousness returned to the system.
She asked Xiao Yao to copy the shape of each box, and then she found that these boxes were actually pieces of a puzzle!
And not only one side of these boxes, sometimes even the side of the box was the real shape of the puzzle.
Fortunately, Xiao Yao was here. Otherwise, even if she occasionally had this idea, it would be useless.
"These boxes are the pieces of the puzzle. Hurry up, let's put them together!"
Long Tianhao nodded, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.
Fortunately, the husband and wife were smart and had flexible thinking.
Under the guidance of Xiao Yao's simulation, the two of them quickly completed the puzzle on the ground.
After putting down the last iron box, Lin Mengya straightened up and looked at the whole picture, and she was a little surprised.
The simulation in the system was almost the same as the real thing in front of her. If she looked at it alone, it would not be obvious, but now that she looked at it, these boxes of different heights seemed to form a map.
And it seemed to be a mountain range.
She touched her chin. There was no satellite map in this world. Although Xiao Yao was powerful, she could not cook without rice.
Now she had no other way.
"Have you ever seen a place like this?"
She could only ask her husband for help. After thinking for a while, he shook his head regretfully.
What should she do? He could not let her search the mountains one by one.
And it seemed that this was a scaled-down view.
This time, it was even more difficult.
Long Tianhao could not bear to let her down, so he raised his hand and touched her head.
"Let me help you."
His tone was full of affection, as if as long as she liked, he would do anything for her.
