As the spies said, after entering the cave, Zhao Kuangyin saw nothing but the cold cave wall, until he reached the innermost part of the cave and was blocked by a huge spherical rock. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Kuangyin found a few rows of strange characters on the boulder, and he asked the attendants who entered the cave to identify them one by one to see who could recognize the characters, but unfortunately everyone could not do anything.

So, Zhao Kuangyin sent people out to deliver a message to the army stationed on the periphery of the hinterland of the Xiao people, saying that if anyone knows foreign characters, they should hurry over to distinguish them, and if they can read the meaning of the foreign languages on this boulder, they will definitely be rewarded.

As a result, not a single person in the army of tens of thousands of people could read the script.

Therefore, for fear that the rubbing would not be clear or miss important information, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to order someone to chisel down the text on this rock intact and bring it back to the imperial court to find a capable person to translate.

Then, in the process of excavation, the text was chiseled off intact, and the spherical boulder also became a little loose due to the action of external forces, and cracked from the inside.

Zhao Kuangyin took a closer look, it turned out that this boulder was not born here by nature, but someone moved it to cover the passage, and there was still a way to go inside.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin ordered someone to completely chisel this boulder and transport it out of the cave.

Sure enough, when the boulder was cleared, a path to the deeper part of the cave was revealed.

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to lead the way, holding a torch and walking deeper. After walking a little further, the cave really reached its end.

At the end of the cave, Zhao Kuangyin saw a suddenly open circular space, shaped like a giant tomb. As if it had been robbed, a huge deep well had been drilled downward, and there were traces of shovels on the walls.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly looked down at the well, but the well was empty, but the traces of the mud were very new, indicating that the pit had just been dug out.

So, such a big well, such a big pit, where did all the mud or stuff that filled the pit go? I can only think that someone carried it away, so who carried it, one-legged ghost?

Zhao Kuangyin had no way of knowing, but he seemed very excited, because it was wrong to say that there was nothing in the pit except for mud, but in fact, there were still some things scattered in the pit. Zhao Kuangyin ordered someone to go down to the pit and pick up those things to take a look, it turned out to be a few ghost baboon masks!

Nine times out of ten, this pit was dug by a one-legged ghost!

Also, if this area is really a settlement of the one-legged ghosts, why did they suddenly leave en masse, could it be that they came with their troops and fled with the sound? But Pugui also claimed that the one-legged ghosts could call the wind and rain to defeat a hundred!

What is the truth, Zhao Kuangyin can't stop wanting to know the answer, but because there is too little evidence, he can only look at the surroundings and the top of the cave wall sadly.

However, this look made Zhao Kuangyin discover something amazing, and the clues came out!

Zhao Kuangyin first looked up casually, and against the flickering of the torches, he saw that there seemed to be something hanging on the top of the big pit. After ordering everyone to align the torches on the top, Zhao Kuangyin finally saw clearly that there were countless ghost baboon masks hanging on the top.

The masks had different expressions, all painted with colorful oil paint, and some of them looked very hideous and terrifying.

Then, when Zhao Kuangyin lowered his eyes from the top, he swept over the cave wall, and Zhao Kuangyin found that there were nine square holes on the cave wall, and there was a person standing in each hole staring downward!

Could it be that his every move has been monitored?!

Zhao Kuangyin broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and his guards also drew their swords and prepared to escort them!

However, when Zhao Kuangyin saw that the people in the cave did not react, and after calming down and taking a closer look, he saw clearly that those humanoid things were not real people, but clay figures.

After taking a closer look again, the clay figurine turned into a golden figure in excitement!

Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself, isn't this the golden statue of Pugui and his own tribute? It turns out that Pugui is not lying, there is really gold in the one-legged ghost, but whether this gold is really conjured by Xiao people remains to be verified.

There is no way forward, and the cave does end here.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly ordered someone to find a way to take out all the golden statues in the nine small square holes on the cave wall, as well as the ghost baboon masks on the top of the big pit, and he had to take them all back to the palace.

Later, after a long time, the soldiers finally took down the Jin man and placed it in front of Zhao Kuangyin, so that he could see them one by one.

Zhao Kuangyin first counted the number of golden figures, but only after nine holes did he move out of eight golden statues. Where did the golden man in the cave go? Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, he had probably been sent to the palace by Pugui......

For the exploration of the one-legged ghost clan, Zhao Kuangyin finally found nothing except a golden statue and a bunch of ghost baboon masks. Oh yes, there's also a stone engraved with foreign characters.

Then, Zhao Kuangyin stayed in Guizhou for a short period of time, and sent people to quietly explore Pugui's whereabouts in Guizhou. It's okay not to explore, but after checking, the bizarre thing came again.

According to the report of the spies sent out by Zhao Kuangyin, it is said that there is indeed a leader of an ethnic minority in Guizhou named Pugui, and Pugui also has 200,000 troops under him.

However, according to an insider, Pugui had left for Bianliang three days ago, and brought a lot of local specialties and treasures to Zhao Kuangyin Nagong, and now he is not in Guizhou!

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he felt strange, didn't this Pugui Nagong happen more than a year ago? Why is it that he is shouting to go to Nagong now, could it be that he has made great progress in dealing with the one-legged ghost, and is in a hurry to go back to ask for merit or retribution to himself?

It's no wonder that the people in Xiao Ren's territory went to the empty building, maybe they have been arrested by Pugui.

However, Zhao Kuangyin still couldn't figure it out, didn't this Pugui claim that he couldn't beat the one-legged ghost clan, how could he lend him three people, and suddenly he had this ability, and he could wipe out the Xiao people? !

Moreover, Pugui had left for Bianliang three days earlier, so he should have met his own army that was rushing to Guizhou at that time, so why didn't he see crowds of people along the way? Unless Pugui left the smooth official road and did not walk, it was not very logical to push so many tributes over the mountains and mountains......

In any case, Xiao Ren is destined to disappear, and Pugui is not in Guizhou, so it is pointless to continue to stay.

Since Pugui took the initiative to go to Beijing, Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself that he would hurry back and ask Pugui about this matter on the top of the main hall. ”
