Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were more familiar with Old Shen Guogong's study than they were with their own study. They knew where everything was placed with their eyes closed.

They finished eating, helped each other stand up, and looked at their surroundings.

"Let's watch separately." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "Since we were brought here, it explains a problem."

"What's outside is not important. Anyone can see it. But here..." Shen Cha walked towards the display cabinet by the door, "What's most important is what father and mother want us to see."

"That's right." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "Cha'er, look over there. I came from here. We will meet in the middle and then we can have exchanges and discussions."

"Okay, just listen to brother."

Shen Cha nodded and stood in front of the display cabinet. This display cabinet has seven floors in total, and two luminous pearls are placed on each floor. Even if there is no candlestick, the displayed objects can be clearly seen.

Shen Cha looked around and found a small stool that could be used for climbing in an inconspicuous corner. She couldn't help but shake her head. Her father and mother were very considerate and prepared small stools for them so that they could climb up. See the top display.

She placed the small stool in front of the display cabinet, stepped on it, and saw clearly what was displayed on the top layer of the display cabinet.

There are eleven items on this floor, each of which Shen Cha has seen before. Some of them were given as dowry by the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager when Mrs. Shen Guogong got married, and some were given by Shen Guogong and Shen Guogong. After the Duke's wife got married, the palace rewarded her with it.

What is different from the items in the wooden boxes in the secret room before is that there is a note underneath these items, which introduces the origin of these ornaments in detail.

Shen Cha looked over from the first one and silently kept all these in mind. There was nothing wrong with the six or seven items in front. They were common ornaments in the palace. Not to mention her parents, they were all placed in her own yard and house. There were many similar gadgets. Only the last few caught her attention. They looked ordinary, but when she picked them up, they seemed to contain something special.

What really caught Shen Cha's attention was a Buddha statue. From a distance, it looked like an ordinary Buddha statue with no flaws, but when he picked it up and looked at it carefully, it felt awkward. And what was placed behind the Buddha statue was somewhat similar to the Buddha statue. Relationships, such as incense holders, such as incense candles, the patterns on them seem to be normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they always seem to be strange and awkward.

"Brother!" Shen Cha waved to Shen Haolin, "Come and see!"

Shen Haolin's side was full of files, bamboo slips and the like. He had just flipped through two or three when he heard Shen Cha's voice. When he looked up, he was startled.

"How did you get up there?"

Shen Haolin walked up to Shen Cha, took the things she handed over, told her not to move, put the things in her hands on the table, and then stretched out his hand to help Shen Cha come down.

"Isn't there a lot of stuff up there? If you can't reach it, just find a small stool and take a look." Shen Cha was pulled to the desk by Shen Haolin. He didn't want to sit on the chair, so he ran out and picked up the two cushions. Throw it on the ground and sit down. "Brother..." She pointed to the Buddha statues on the table that she picked up from the display cabinet, "Let's see if you think it's weird."

"this……"

Shen Haolin first read the contents on the pieces of paper written by Mrs. Shen Guogong, then picked up the Buddha statue, looked at it carefully, stretched out his hand and touched the Buddha statue bit by bit. When he felt his abdomen, he was slightly startled and waved to Shen Cha.

"Cha, come on, let's light it up a little bit."

"Okay!" Shen Cha stood up, brought two more night-light pearls, and came close to Shen Haolin, "What did brother find?"

"Reach out your hand and touch this place."

Shen Cha leaned over curiously and reached out to touch the place pointed by Shen Haolin. She asked Shen Haolin to put the Buddha statue on the table. After placing it, she pressed it gently and found that there was no change.

"This should be a mechanism that can be opened."

Shen Haolin nodded lightly, stopped Shen Cha, reached out to touch the mechanism, found a sharp piece, poked it along the gap, and gently pried it out, and saw that the entire Buddha statue was separated from the middle. , an oil paper bag fell from inside.

Shen Cha put on her gloves, reached out and picked up the oil paper bag, opened it carefully, and found a pile of yellowed powder inside.

"This is..." Shen Haolin shook his head gently and looked at Shen Cha, "Can you tell?"

Shen Cha put the oil paper bag under her nose and smelled it, frowning slightly.

"It has the same taste as the tea cakes and daggers outside." She sighed softly and wrapped the oil paper bag. "After you go out, give it to Miaomiao for inspection."

"It's something from the Qinglian Sect." Seeing Shen Cha nod, Shen Haolin restored the Buddha statue again, "Do you think this looks a little strange?"

"It's different from our common Buddha statues." Shen Cha looked at the Buddha statue and then at the oil paper bag, "If I guess correctly, it should be the so-called Holy Mother of Green Lotus enshrined by the Qinglian Sect. But... "She curled her lips in disgust, "It turns out that the mysterious Virgin Mother of Green Lotus looks like this, so she's not that good!" She sighed softly, "Although it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, but this one is indeed the same. A bit too..." She touched her chin, "too much like an ordinary village woman? How could they believe that such a person can fulfill their wishes?"

"Just give yourself a comfort, or a place where you can go to work. If you have any minor troubles or worries during your daily life, just go and talk to Our Lady of Green Lotus. It is better than keeping it in your heart. Many people initially believed Isn’t that the reason for the Qinglian Sect?”

"That's true." Shen Cha nodded, "Slowly I started to be bewitched, then I became superior, and in the end I became a person I didn't even recognize."

"That's it." Shen Haolin picked up the incense holder and incense candle next to him, "The pattern on it is the same as the statue of Our Lady of Qinglian. From this, we can conclude that ordinary people will not have these, only Qinglian Only followers of the Lotus Sect have it."

"According to our understanding of Qinglian Sect, ordinary believers will not have these things, so..."

"Our previous guess should be right."

"The Empress Dowager is not just a believer, she also plays an important role in the Qinglian Sect." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "These were rewards from the palace after my father and mother got married. The purpose of the Empress Dowager has already been It’s very clear.”
