Nothing happened on this day, whether it was the second prince or the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, they did not appear again, and the most appearing was a palace maid named Huaping, she seemed to be the leader of these palace maids and eunuchs sent by the emperor, responsible for listening to Yunxi's orders to arrange everything.

Lu Tao inquired about the second prince from Yunxi, and according to the news he heard from Yunxi, the second prince was a rare upright gentleman in the royal family.

Gentleman...... The righteous gentleman has become more and more a derogatory term, according to Peony, the jade seal represents power, and only members of the royal family can use it, Lu Tao has to associate it with the throne, it seems that even the second prince of the righteous gentleman can't withstand the temptation of the throne.

Another strange thing is that the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, he never seems to have cared about the matter of the jade seal of the country, either he doesn't know at all, or there may be something wrong with it.

As for which one it is, Lu Tao really doesn't know very well, looking at his appearance as an old rascal, maybe he really showed it because he didn't know about it.

There was nothing to do for a day, and Lu Tao didn't need to spend time making meals, until it was time to go to bed at night, during which Yunxi and Xiaorou had been playing backgammon, and Lu Tao found an excuse to stay in the patio and bask in the sun and practice.

When Yunxi and Xiaorou fell asleep, Lu Tao went to the wine cellar agreed with Peony.

......

"Why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Peony changed into the clothes of a little eunuch this time, just like the "little eunuch" yesterday, she looked quite handsome at a glance.

Lu Tao spread his hands: "At least I'm here, and there is good news, my spell can be used." ”

Halfway through, Lu Tao's spiritual power began to loosen, and then it was soon able to run smoothly, and he could use any spell, but Lu Tao still didn't find out the law between the stagnation of spiritual power and the return to normal, and he didn't know what the reason was, so he could only use it quickly when he could use the spell, so as not to use it halfway and there would be a problem.

"Spells?" Peony nodded: "So you call those strange abilities spells, so okay, this is good news, let's hurry up." ”

Lu Tao was a little puzzled, and always felt that Peony didn't look energetic, so Lu Tao asked directly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"......" Peony was silent for a while, and replied: "It's nothing, there are more and more people looking for the jade seal of the country, I just don't have much confidence in whether we can find something on this trip, let's go, let's hurry up." ”

Peony waved his hand and entered the passage below the cellar with Lu Tao.

The two of them followed the passage to the location of the middle fork, and this time, without too many choices, the two walked directly along the secret passage in the middle, stopping in front of the last sinking slope sealed by water.

Lu Tao performed an unknown diving technique, forming a thin diaphragm on the surface of the two people's bodies, Lu Tao walked in front, and Peony followed behind.

The Divine Light Technique can also be used underwater, and the Divine Light Technique in Lu Tao's hand lit up a cloud of white light in the water, illuminating the surroundings.

Advancing forward for about less than a hundred meters, the front was blocked by a layer of net, and the other side of the net was still water, if there was no convenient technique, Lu Tao was very suspicious that he could survive if he was trapped here and couldn't exhale.

Lu Tao touched the net with his hand, and the cold touch was transmitted through his fingers, and Lu Tao realized that this layer of net was actually metallic.

Around the metal partition net, the rocks along the passage are inlaid in, and I don't know how deep it is, Lu Tao just wanted to try to see if he could pull the entire partition out of the stone wall, but the peony behind him handed over a dagger.

Lu Tao took the dagger and took a look, this dagger does not look simple, at least the red and blue gems inlaid on the handle of the dagger, as well as the sharp light reflected on the blade of the dagger, all show that this dagger is of great value, Lu Tao tried it with the dagger, and easily cut a gap in the net, Lu Tao tried to expand the gap as much as possible, and then took the lead in drilling through the position of the gap.

The flooded part behind the metal mesh was not very long, about twenty meters or so, and Lu Tao and Peony came out of the water.

With a long sigh of relief, Peony still didn't seem to be used to the feeling of staying underwater for so long, she pointed to the road ahead: "Let's hurry forward, I have a hunch, there should be something to gain today!"

Lu Tao nodded, and the divine light technique illuminated the road ahead.

"Wait!" Peony suddenly shouted, "What is this?"

Lu Tao followed her gaze and found that there was a dragon carved on the wall, the dragon was a dragon from the East, and its long body had been spreading forward along the cave wall on one side, and the scales on the dragon's body were lifelike.

"I understand!" Peony looked up, the light reflected in her eyes was shining, and she also touched the scales on the dragon's body with her hand: "We've found a place!"

Saying that, Peony quickened her pace and walked along the passage, although Lu Tao didn't know how Peony judged that this was the destination she was looking for, she still followed quickly.

As the two of them continued to move forward, there was a roar in front of them, and the roar echoed through the empty passageway, gradually joining together, turning into some kind of inaudible murmur, as if something was silently roaring in front of them, endlessly, never to stop.

Walking closer, Lu Tao could vaguely see a silver tassel pouring down from above, and the diffuse mist almost filled the space around Lu Tao, those roars and roars, getting closer, could finally be heard, it was just the sound of water.

Lu Tao raised the Divine Light Technique in his hand and found that there was actually a waterfall in the hollow underground.

The waterfall is not big, but it is also huge, and the sound of the rumbling water is rushing to the face, completely blocking the road ahead, and from here, you can see the hollow above, and you can't see the end at all, and you don't know where it leads.

Lu Tao looked back at Peony: "What's next?

Peony also looked up: "I don't know, but I don't think anyone will be able to climb up from here......"

Lu Tao thought that under the impact of the waterfall, I am afraid that no one would be able to swim against the current.

“...... Perhaps, we should look down. Peony pointed to the waterhole below the waterfall and said to Lu Tao: "Maybe there will be a waterway below that can pass through here." ”

Lu Tao nodded, stretched out his hand on the peony a little, and the diaphragm that could breathe freely underwater appeared again. also put one on themselves, Lu Tao and Peony jumped into the waterhole below the waterfall.

Carried by the water from above, Lu Tao sank in a circle, fortunately, the waterhole was surrounded by smooth stone walls, and there were no sharp stones that stood up, otherwise even if Lu Tao could withstand the impact of these stones, Peony would not be able to withstand it.

was washed into the water at a distance of about ten meters, and the impact above finally eased down, Lu Tao stretched out the divine light technique in his hand and shone left and right, and finally saw the figure of the peony, the peony seemed to be affected by the current, sinking like a scale, seeing that she closed her eyes, I don't know if she has fainted.

Lu Tao kicked on the wall behind him, floated to Peony's side, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, Peony opened his eyes and nodded to Lu Tao, so the two sank to the bottom of the pool together.

When he was about to sink to the bottom, Lu Tao felt a stream of water surging in a certain direction, carried by the current, the two passed through the hole at the bottom of a waterhole, and floated up with the rapidly rising current, Lu Tao and Peony had already been sent into a strange cave without spending any effort.

Grabbing the stones on the edge, Lu Tao pulled the peony over, and the divine light technique in his hand illuminated everything around him.

The cave is very low, there is a gap at a position about the height of a person, and the water gushing out from the other side is flowing through this gap, and I don't know how it was designed, although the water here is all rushing towards the position of the gap, it is not too intense, otherwise Lu Tao and Peony should not have floated up, and they will be brought to the position of the gap.

On the other side, there is a black cave entrance, the hole is not big, but it is enough for a person to pass through, and the stone platform held by Lu Tao has stone steps leading directly to the cave entrance.

As soon as he made a move, Lu Tao jumped onto the stone platform, he stretched out his hand and pulled the peony up: "This is the destination?"

Peony climbed up and stood still, there was not a drop of water on her body, she looked around and then at the hole in front of her: "It's definitely here!" ”

Lu Tao nodded, and came to the outside of the cave with Peony along the stone steps, Lu Tao stretched out his hand and illuminated the cave with the divine light technique in his hand, and along those rays, part of the cave was displayed in front of the two of them.

In the center of the space on the other side of the cave entrance is a huge stone statue carved with a crane about to spread its wings and soar, with its outstretched wings as long as five meters.

Lu Tao and Peony walked through the cave and came to the crane, Lu Tao looked up at the sculpture, and looked back at Peony with some doubts: "What is this?

"Of course not!" Peony shook her head, then pulled out a golden bead from her clothes.

Stretching out his hand, the peony gestured for a long time, then turned around and handed the bead in his hand to Lu Tao: "Help me put this bead on the gap above the crane's head...... It's too tall for me to reach. ”

Lu Tao: "...... All right. ”
