"My arms are sore!" He shook his arms.
Xiao Jue immediately stepped forward, "I'll do it!"
"Okay, you do it!"
Lu Yuan handed over the lotus box, and the others observed and compared it from the side.
He pulled his wife and sat her down right by the front door.
He thought to himself, "This old ancestor really went through a lot of trouble. Why did he have to come up with so many tricks to hide his family property? Couldn't he have kept it simple?"
What's the point of all these fancy tricks? What can they do besides wasting their time?
Another half hour passed, and they still hadn't found a suitable groove. Three different people had been changing the person holding the lotus box.
Lu Yuan was getting restless too. "Wife, I'll go check again."
He got up, dusted himself off, and was about to go help. But just as he took a step, he noticed that there were lotus flowers under his feet as well.
Upon closer inspection, it looked remarkably familiar.
"Wife, don't you think this lotus flower looks just like the lotus box?"
Wen Muxue looked at it carefully and nodded, "It really does look like it!"
The young couple exchanged a glance, and Lu Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "Wife, do you think it could be this lotus flower?"
“There’s no groove,” the girl said.
Lu Yuan observed more closely, "But there are gaps, could it be that lotus flowers grow underfoot?"
Wen Moxue blinked her big eyes, "Why don't you give it a try?"
"Let's give it a try."
Lu Yuan asked Xiao Jue to give him the lotus box, and then everyone saw him point the box at the lotus flower on the ground and press it down hard.
Huh? No response?
Press it again!
That's right, I'm starting to feel it!
He felt the box sink a little, but only a little, so little that no one else noticed anything different.
Lu Yuan, however, was full of confidence. He stood up and prepared to stomp down with his foot.
The moment they saw him lift his foot, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and they all shouted, "No!"
But it was too late; that foot had already stomped down solidly.
Everyone close your eyes!
Oh no, the key is broken, the door won't open, and we can't get the treasure out.
Just as everyone was filled with sorrow, they heard a click, and the door in front of them loosened slightly. Lu Yuan hurriedly went to push the door open.
The next second, the door was easily pushed open.
Everyone was overjoyed. Looking at the lotus box on the ground, they found that it had been perfectly embedded in the ground and had not been damaged.
"So the real keyhole is right here on the ground!" Gao Nuoyan exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, who would have thought that so many lotus-shaped grooves weren’t keyholes? If it weren’t for the head of the family, we probably would have been stuck there forever,” Gao Shengyao said.
At this moment, he admired Lu Yuan from the bottom of his heart, and stopped calling him his nephew-grandson, directly addressing him as the head of the family.
Everyone also clearly realized that people's brains are really different. Why could Lu Yuan become the head of the family while they couldn't? They really didn't have the brains.
I have the utmost faith in the decision made by the two old men.
Lu Yuan pushed open the door, and everyone stood respectfully behind him. No one rushed in. Lu Yuan didn't move, so they didn't move either.
In truth, they were overjoyed. They had already seen the situation inside. The moment the door opened, the lights on the stone walls inside lit up one after another.
They could clearly see the densely packed and neatly arranged large wooden crates piled on the ground.
The three Gao brothers' cloudy eyes brightened considerably, not to mention the others. But they only watched intently, and before Lu Yuan stepped inside, none of them overstepped their bounds.
That's why they all saved their own lives.
There was a reason why Lu Yuan didn't go in immediately; his intuition told him that this gate wasn't so easy to enter.
His eight years of military service in his previous life, and his participation in countless missions, both his experience and intuition told him that he couldn't just go in.
He thought for a moment, then slowly took off one of his shoes. The person behind him, not understanding why, did the same.
A wave of pungent, sour smell rushed straight to the back of her head and then to the top of her head. Wen Moxue immediately covered her nose and glared at her husband.
Lu Yuan protested his innocence, saying that his feet had been soaked in spiritual spring water and smelled so good that he could eat them directly; how could they possibly smell so foul?
Turning to the people behind him, he asked with disdain, "What are you doing?"
Gao Nuoyan looked embarrassed. "We were just seeing you taking off your shoes. We thought we had to take off our shoes to come in."
Lu Yuan: ...
They're all incredibly smart!
"Hurry up and put them on, they're all marinated to perfection, who can stand it!"
The group quickly and sheepishly put their shoes on.
Lu Yuan turned around and threw his shoes in, and immediately heard a series of whooshing sounds.
Everyone stared in disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, followed by a wave of lingering fear.
Gao Nuoyan patted his chest and let out a heavy breath.
"Luckily I didn't rush straight in, or I would have been riddled with holes."
The others felt the same way, secretly relieved. It seemed they were right to follow the leader's lead; otherwise, their lives would have been in danger!
Lu Yuan took off his other shoe and threw it in, this time throwing it further away. There was no sound from inside before he stepped inside.
However, he still instructed, "Please wait a moment, I'll go in first and we'll talk later."
Gao Weishan immediately said, "A Yuan, let me go in first."
"No, I'll go in." He's much more skilled than his dad.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Everything is fine.
Just when everyone thought it was safe and Lu Yuan took his seventh step, two sharp arrows shot at him from two different directions.
“A-Yuan.”
The people at the door were shocked.
Lu Yuan reacted quickly, suddenly shifting his body to the side to narrowly avoid the arrow that came from his right. The arrow grazed his face, creating a gust of wind.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly tilted his head back, bent his legs to gather strength, and lowered his waist to dodge another sharp arrow that shot down from above.
Just as the two arrows grazed past him, he saw something on the arrowheads and, with lightning speed, reached out and precisely grabbed the shafts of both arrows.
The movements were executed in one fluid motion, as fast as the wind, a perfect combination of power and speed, showcasing his impressive skill.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was speechless with astonishment, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.
So their leader is also very skilled. What else can't he do?
They wonder which rural area can raise such successful people. They really want to go there, but they don't know if it's too late.
As soon as Lu Yuan regained his footing, Wen Moxue rushed over, "Brother Yuan, you scared me to death!"
Lu Yuan patted her back reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, don't you know what I'm capable of?"
He was already quite skilled in his past life and was an outstanding soldier. With the blessing of the spiritual spring in this life, his skills have reached an even higher level.
Others gathered around, and the little girl reluctantly let go of him.
Lu Yuan raised his arrows and saw that each arrow had a letter attached to it. He handed the letter directly to Xiao Jue.
"Let's see what it is?"
Xiao Jue hurriedly took it and opened it, his hands trembling with excitement and his voice shaking.
"It's from our ancestors, a letter left behind by them!"
