Huangsha Daocheng fell silent, but not everyone fell asleep.

The Huangsha Dao official office was brightly lit, and the officials and examiners of the Guozijian in a hall seemed to be interrupted from speaking, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

"Lord Song, how to score each examiner has its own fixed number in mind, and it is not convenient to be specific. An official said.

Song Yuan snorted and said, "That means you can order whoever you want to have a high score?"

"The judging of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is like this, but it is not without rules to follow, if it is good, everyone can see it, so you can rest assured that there will be no injustice. An examiner said.

Song Yuan laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the examiner's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, what am I worried about, you who have been carefully selected by Wang Xiangye are the best... Then I'll sit back and sleep peacefully. ”

Everyone saluted, watched Song Yuan walk out, and immediately stood up straight.

"I don't understand anything, I still want to listen to everything. An official shook his sleeves and said disdainfully.

Another official smiled indifferently: "How can a gentleman try to allow him to interfere, he thinks too much about supervision." He greeted the others in the hall with a smile, "Everyone, please take a seat, let's discuss tomorrow's Leke..."

The hall was noisy with laughter from time to time.

Song Yuan, who was walking alone under the porch, looked a little lonely, and when he entered his room, several men greeted him.

"My lord, tonight is about to begin, do you want to go and have a look?" said in a low voice.

Song Yuan yawned and said, "It's not too late for me to look at it when I open it.... No hurry, no hurry. "Waving his hand," I was notified of the news. ”

Several men bowed their heads in response.

The Huangsha Dao City in the night is like a glass lamp, the streamer inside is bright, covered by a city wall, in contrast, the surrounding is more and more thick and dark, the hustle and bustle of the queen's mausoleum in the distance has long been dissipated, and the tall mausoleum is isolated in the night.

A rustling sound sounded on the ground, and a scorpion swam over it, and on the quiet sandy ground was its free hunting ground, as if intentionally or unintentionally climbing a reed, and the reed grass trembled, as if afraid of the insect it had never seen before.

The scorpion also stiffened, and seemed surprised as to why water-loving reeds appeared on the ground where the fire had burned and no grass had grown....

The next moment, the cold light fell from the sky, piercing the ground with a pop, and the violent shaking of the originally flat ground instantly raised a piece... At the same time, a cold light flashed all around, and the sound of people stabbing into the ground with their swords on the ground came and went... And the earth also began to resist, the sand was lifted, and the people under it jumped, but before they could make a sound, they were strangled by the ropes, and then the long swords pierced into his body on all sides, and before he could stand firmly, he fell down again, and the flying sand fell and covered it, and one foot also stepped on his body, and with a snort it seemed to step on the muddy water, and with this sound the black shadow flew like a moth in the night.

It all happens in a moment, starts in a moment, ends in an instant... Someone reached out and pinched a scorpion crawling on the ground.

“.. This is the first dark hill..."Du said.

Xue Qing squatted down and stretched out his hand to remove the loose sand, and saw the dead body exposed inside, with the reed grass used for breathing in his mouth, and the blood in his throat pierced by a sword was still bubbling suddenly... Xue Qing grabbed a handful of sand and stood up on it.

"These are all people from Lord Atsumi. She said, looking at the dark shadows floating in the dark night, there were about seventeen or eighteen people at a glance, and it could be seen that these people were extraordinary in this movement.

Du said: "It's His Majesty the Emperor's person." Watching Xue Qing correct.

Xue Qing snorted and said, "The layout of this queen's mausoleum is just for us, do we really break in like this?"

Du said: "If they want to lure us here, they will inevitably show some flaws, this is not our chance... As for the hunter waiting with the net open, who says the prey can't fight back? All we have to do today is eat the bait. ”

......

......

Behind the tall mausoleum is a tall round mound, the big yellow tooth said that the soil near the Huangsha Road is burned, and the wind blows and disperses, and the round mound that can stand up such a large is naturally not formed locally, but is piled up with sand and soil transported from other places, and it is a mound from a distance, and if you get closer, you can see that it is a boulder piled up, so there is no bare grass on it, let alone trees.

The mounds seemed to be strong when they were sealed by boulders, but since they were built by man, they could be opened naturally, and at this time there was a glimmer of light at the foot of the mound, where the boulders were broken like eggshells.

The sound of clanging came from it, and the guards around them looked around vigilantly.

The armor used by the guards inside was removed and piled aside, and a group of men of old and young were busy shirtless, fiddling with various tools in their hands, aiming at a boulder, as if to move the boulder away.

The boulder is completely free of gaps and is carved with flames and phoenixes.

Several men in black robes stood aside and looked at them, their eyes shining with a little curiosity and a little awe under the light of the torches.

"Can this really be opened?" a whispered grunt as soon as the words fell, and a low cheer erupted from among the busy men.

"It's on. ”

With this cheer, several black-robed men hurriedly retreated instead of stepping forward, the ground began to shake, the surrounding sand brushes fell, and the boulder in front of them cracked a gap with a creaking sound, and after a while, calm was restored... There was no collapse, and no hidden weapons were fired.

The men who had been hiding behind stood up and watched as the phoenix in the flames on the boulder split in half.

"It can really be opened. They said.

An old craftsman stepped forward and said respectfully: "Since it was someone who made it close, it will definitely be able to open it again... Rest assured, we opened it according to its original settings and will not touch the mechanism. ”

The black-robed man glanced at him and walked towards the stone gate with some impatience, and the two craftsmen hurriedly raised torches to illuminate it first, and behind the stone gate was a passage, and the stone wall shone with a faint light in the dark night.

"How.." A man said.

"From here, you can enter the door of the dungeon. The other man replied, glancing at the boulder beside him, "It's just a fake door." ”

"It took so long for a fake door. The man from before said, "Then it's harder." ”

The man smiled and said, "Be content, I tried to enter the underground palace from the ground down, but it took several days and nights to bury everyone in the ground instead of opening a road. ”

The man had also heard about what had happened, and he looked at the secluded passage in front of him again, and said, "So my lord decided to enter the underground palace from the main road this time. ”

Right? The craftsmen on the side humbly bowed their heads and did not dare to show any thoughts.

"Alright, let's go. ”

Hearing the sound of the order, the craftsmen hurriedly packed up their tools, and two men with torches stood out to make way, and the torches in their hands shook against the stone door, and the flame patterns carved on it seemed to jump and shake as if they were really burning..... The heat spreads out in the cave in an instant.

"It's on!" a craftsman suddenly shouted, pointing to the stone door with a frightened expression.

Everyone looked in shock, only to see the flames of the stone gate soaring, and then the phoenix that cracked in front of them with a flash of golden light soared, and the screams in their ears suddenly sounded.

The janissary standing outside the door immediately turned around and ran in when he heard this, and the moment he stepped in, there was a bang, and the fire inside exploded, and the sand and stones rolled wildly, engulfing everyone in an instant, and then everything was calm, and the fire disappeared, only the mountains and rocks that rolled and scattered.

.....

....

Xue Qing touched the ground with his hand and felt the trembling that came from him.

"Is this bait an accident?" she said, those carefully cultivated craftsmen are just useless? raising them is not to open the dungeon, but just to open the door to the dungeon, she stood up and looked ahead, the scattered rocks revealed a faint light, "What a big bait..."
