The moment the two men put the incense into the incense burner, a blazing flame suddenly jumped out.
Gu Wanwan took out the dragon and phoenix jade pendant and pointed it at the statue. As the dragon and phoenix jade pendant and the eyes of the statue glowed at the same time, there was a sudden click. The mechanism turned, and the statue moved backwards, revealing a secret passage that was dozens of meters long. There were no steps in the secret passage, and it was like a slide, with a path leading straight to the bottom.
Gu Wanwan pulled Fu Jingchen into the secret passage, and then the statue moved back to its original position.
The surroundings returned to calm, with only a faint smell of incense remaining.

Even if they go in, they have to come out from here. I will get the pocket watch. Any stranger who approaches will be shot. I don't believe that only a few people can move the treasure away." After the black-clothed leader finished speaking, he quickly left the scene and went directly to the old house of the Gu family to find Li Xiuhong and his nephew.

Without further ado, we should go find Gu Qingtang immediately. If he doesn't give it to us, we will kill him."
