Chapter 566 Cannon fodder between the factory flower and the empress dowager 21
(Ah, begging for subscriptions, begging for monthly passes, ~)
Feng Yu stopped when he saw the almost transparent wax paper, and his first reaction was also the trick played by a master, if the treasure was hidden in the Qianqing Palace, how many full moon nights in the past few hundred years, why no one found its traces.
The second reaction was the same as Gu Xiaoxiao's, if this treasure map was real, then maybe they would not only be able to solve the mystery of hundreds of years, but also get a lot of wealth.
The temptation is always hard to refuse, especially at the critical time when they and Chen Sinian are fighting. The king of a country has spent so much effort to hide an extraordinary product, and it would be too violent to let it fall into dust.
Feng Yuzhu had a good reason to refuse Gu Xiaoxiao's risk, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was that she didn't know how to do kung fu. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, she performed a supernatural light skill in front of Feng Yuzhu, and then took a sword flower in her hand, which frightened him, mistaking her for a hidden master.
This is also due to the fact that Gu Xiaoxiao usually shoots all kinds of advanced martial arts and exercises, and now she has revealed a wonderful light skill and swordsmanship, so that Fengyu has a sense of sudden enlightenment, she is really a master.
In fact, this is just a friendly illusion, Gu Xiaoxiao has a heart to become a peerless master, but due to physical limitations, he can only practice light skills to the point of reaching the peak.
Of course, from the perspective of time, Gu Xiaoxiao is actually very good, and it is a miracle that she can achieve such an achievement at her age.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxiao would not take the initiative to uncover such a wonderful misunderstanding, she calmly accepted Feng Yuzhu's speculation and praise, and her next plan was to sneak into the Qianqing Palace to find the secret treasure.
The two of them told the little emperor about this matter in advance, and the two have the same opinion on this point, whether what they do is for the emperor's good or for the overall situation, they should let him have the right to know or even the right to veto.
The emperor is the emperor after all, he will grow up one day, and they don't want to leave a mustard in his heart.
The little emperor was supportive of this matter, if it weren't for the fact that he was too young to take risks, he would still be a little eager to see what the legendary secret treasure looked like.
The Qianqing Palace was heavily guarded, and Feng Yuzhu transferred the people of Yiluan Division to the area they were going to visit, and the little emperor volunteered to escort them, so as not to get the news of Chen Sinian's people and come to destroy them.
Seeing the little emperor's excitement, it was useless to persuade him to go to bed earlier, Gu Xiaoxiao and Feng Yu stopped making a decision and started to act when they were over, and found the secret room on the map as soon as possible.
The moonlight was like mercury, Gu Xiaoxiao once again dressed up as a captain of the Yiluan Division, in the bright moon, she was wearing a night clothes, and she was about to be taken down after a few steps.
Feng Yu's face was calm, his plan was very proper, if today's matter was discovered by Chen Sinian's people, he would say that it would be enough to investigate the case to the outside world, and the possibility of an accident in his own hands was very small.
Gu Xiaoxiao was holding a thin drawing with almost no weight in his hand, and under the moonlight, the various lines in it seemed to be constantly changing positions, and when he looked at it, it seemed to be an illusion.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't regard it as an illusion, maybe the real secret was hidden in those seemingly chaotic lines.
It was this carefulness that made Gu Xiaoxiao discover a very important thing, the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant was needed to open the secret treasure! In the usual light, there was no such hint on the drawing, and she was about to look dazzled in the moonlight, and she could distinguish this little hint from it.
Gu Xiaoxiao was glad that she was careful enough, so several people turned back to the little emperor's bedroom and got the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant. In all dynasties, the size and pattern of the Nine Dragons jade pendant were unchanged, just like the divine imperial power, and the emperors liked to use the divine right of the monarch to explain their high status.
After getting the jade pendant, they set off again.
Feng Yu stopped silent all the way, there were only four of them plus Gu Xiaoxiao, and the other two were not only his subordinates, but also his friends who could entrust his life.
These two Gu Xiaoxiao are quite familiar with each other, one is called Qiao Nan and the other is Xu Yu, both of whom are good at kung fu and neat work. Maybe it's because things are like things, the temperament of the two is similar to Feng Yuzhu, and they are not good at words, revealing the temperament of a tough steel guy.
There is a mystery hidden in the treasure map, and after consuming countless brain cells, Gu Xiaoxiao finally reluctantly confirmed the well in the legendary mirror flower and moon.
There are so many wells in the Qianqing Palace, patio wells and decorative wells, which have existed silently for hundreds of years.
However, according to the drawings on time, the location of the secret treasure is a well in the middle of the Qianqing Palace-Babao Well. Although it is clearly known as the Eight Treasures, it is actually a drinking well, from which the palace people will carry water to wash and water the flowers in the morning, and will also drink the water from the well when they are thirsty.
No one would associate this well with a treasure, it was too ordinary and too ordinary. Is it a big hidden in the city, or an empty joy. Gu Xiaoxiao had complicated thoughts, and came to the well with Feng Yuzhu and the three of them.
The well platform is octagonal in shape, with delicate octagonal sunflowers and carp in various shapes, and even the scales are lifelike, which is both beautiful and non-slip. Around the well platform, there is also a white marble railing, and the steps are made of fine pale green granite masonry, which is high inside and low outside to prevent turbid water from flowing backwards, and everything is the same as the usual well, and there are round wooden planks on it.
Gu Xiaoxiao went up the stairs, opened the wooden plank, hooked his head and looked into the water, there was also a bright moon inside, and the well water was clear and floated with a sweet smell.
From the wellhead to the water surface, it is more than three zhang deep, and the wall of the well is made of bow-shaped blue brick mortar, smooth and undamaged, Gu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and pulled the hemp rope tied to the wheel, which was heavy and very strong.
The well was very deep, and the moonlight was only shallow below it, and the walls of the well, which were more than three feet deep, were almost completely sunk into darkness. Fortunately, the direct width of the well is spacious enough, Gu Xiaoxiao pondered the drawings again, and after confirming that the three-dimensional lines outlined inside were the well in front of him, he looked up and said to Feng Yu: "I'll tie the rope around my waist and go down the well to try it, if there is really an entrance on the wall of the well, after I open it, you can go down." ”
"Let me do it."
Feng Yuzhu naturally didn't want to let the Queen Mother and a woman get into danger, Qiao Nan and Xu Yu followed closely behind, rushing to go down the well.
Gu Xiaoxiao laughed, shook his head and said: "You don't understand the content of this picture as thoroughly as me, and I am the lightest, and it is the most suitable to go down the well, if I don't find the entrance, you can go down and try again." ”
What she said is very reasonable, and Feng Yuzhu is not easy to refute, Wu Baozhu is not only the queen mother, but also a heroine among women, who acts decisively and has a stubborn personality.
Moreover, although this well is deep and the hemp rope is very strong, with the three of them watching on it, it can definitely ensure the safety of the Queen Mother.
However, the hemp rope of the well platform is too thick, and it is inconvenient to tie it directly to the waist, so Feng Yuzhu took out a rope tied a little bit from his body as if he was juggling, handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao and said: "This is a special grab rope for Yiluan Division, it is very strong, you can use it to fix yourself on the hemp rope." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Gu Xiaoxiao took the hemp rope from Feng Yu's hand, and the products produced by Yiluan Division must be high-quality, and she still has this trust.
"The secret treasure is in the mirror, the water and the moon, only the destined people can see it, and the people who are destined to take it."
Recalling the record in the book, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't cry or laugh a little, it turned out that the so-called mirror flowers and water moon were really mirror flowers and water moons. If they hadn't accidentally gotten that drawing, and they had the audacity to explore the Qianqing Palace at night, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the secret treasure was actually in the well.
After tying the rope, Gu Xiaoxiao pulled hard, and after making sure that there was no problem, he pulled the rope, and under the care of Feng Yu, he went down a little bit along the smooth wall of the well.
The location of the entrance is very difficult to confirm, after all, the treasure map is abstract, Gu Xiaoxiao tied the night pearl to her hair for lighting, and found the mechanism to open the secret room inch by inch from the well.
On the slippery wall of the well, moss grows in many places, which is slippery and greasy to the touch, and occasionally there are particularly small insects crawling over the wall of the well.
Gu Xiaoxiao endured the discomfort and groped on the wall of the well with her hands, and when she reached this point, she could only persevere. In the process of action, she also had to be careful not to let the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant on her waist touch the wall of the well, and at the same time avoid the night pearl on her head from falling, which can be described as difficult.
It is a very tedious thing to go around in circles in the well wall to find the entrance mechanism, Gu Xiaoxiao is patient, not to miss an inch of the well wall, and to stop and try a few more times when encountering a suspicious place.
Feng Yu, Qiao Nan, and Xu Yu above watched the Queen Mother's family and a woman busy below, and became more and more embarrassed as time increased, and proposed to go down to replace it several times, but Gu Xiaoxiao refused.
In the middle of the night, the time seemed long and difficult, and Gu Xiaoxiao was almost in complete silence, slowly carrying out the exploration at hand.
Finally, about two feet from the mouth of the well, she touched a special brick, a blue brick that was slightly narrower than the surrounding bricks.
She held her breath with excitement and slowly pulled out the bricks, and under the light of the night pearl, there was a narrow opening in the vacant brick-sized space that could accommodate the jade pendant.
Gu Xiaoxiao held the brick in one hand, stabilized her body, took out the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, and slowly pushed it towards the narrow opening.
In her eyes full of hope, the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant entered little by little, and finally stuck in tightly, only to hear a click, and then there was a slight rumbling sound from the wall of the well.
A magical scene appeared, the originally smooth and tight bluestone brick wall slowly shrank inward, and an entrance about five feet square appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.
From her vantage point, there was a staircase below the entrance, and a passage further down.
Is this the legendary Chamber of Secrets?
Gu Xiaoxiao only felt that the universe was bright and bright, and she had momentum in an instant, but she didn't get carried away because of this, and rushed into it.
The three of them felt that Gu Xiaoxiao stopped at a height of more than a zhang from the water, looked down, and saw the swarthy mouth through the light of the night pearl, Feng Yuzhu was excited and did not forget to remind: "The Queen Mother is careful, the secret room is closed for many years and is prone to poisonous gas, so don't rush in." ”
This is exactly what Gu Xiaoxiao was worried about, because she was excited, she only made an OK gesture towards it that they might not be able to understand. Then Gu Xiaoxiao took out the fire fold from his arms, and after lighting it, the tentative cat waist got into the secret room, and after confirming that the air inside was circulating, he raised his head and shouted: "It's okay inside, you can go in, I'll untie the rope, you guys come down." ”
Feng Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the expectation of the secret treasure made the three of them, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel fanatical.
After Gu Xiaoxiao successfully got out of the secret room, she untied the rope and pulled it and motioned for the three of them to pull it up.
There must be someone guarding above, Qiao Nan and Xu Yu were humble to each other, and finally decided that Xu Yu and Feng Yu, who were slightly stronger in kung fu, would go down the well together, and Qiao Nan would guard on it.
The artist was bold, the entrance had been opened, and the two of them didn't bother looking for it, so they jumped down directly with the rope, and entered the secret passage one after another.
After the three of them came down, Gu Xiaoxiao took down the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, the door creaked and closed halfway, and stopped there again, thinking that this side was also the main vent.
Unlike Gu Xiaoxiao's expectations, there was no legendary ever-bright lamp in the stone corridor, the wax torch had long since dried up, and all the light except for the night pearls they each carried, all that was left was the fluorescent ore on the wall.
But that didn't dampen the excitement of the trio, who at first feared that there might be various mechanisms in the secret passage. But after walking down all the way, I was lucky to find that there were no other mechanisms in the secret passage except for two rounds of arrows.
According to Gu Xiaoxiao's guess, the person who kept this secret treasure was originally provided for the people in the royal family, and the hiding place was so secret, I am afraid that it would hurt future generations, so it is possible that there is no too dangerous mechanism to be set up.
Then again, the huge palace, who would have thought that the secret treasure would be hidden in a little-known well, and I am afraid that even the well diggers back then would not have thought of it.
The corridor of the secret room is deep, Gu Xiaoxiao calculated the distance they have traveled along the way, nearly three hundred meters, and if she hadn't written down the route on the ground before, I am afraid that she would have been dizzy in various shadow walls and three-way roads at this time.
The closer to the destination, the faster Gu Xiaoxiao's heart beats, and the secret treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years will be revealed, and it will be revealed in their hands, how not to make people look forward to it.
After nine bends and eighteen bends, a half-moon-shaped door finally appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxiao and the three of them, and on the stone wall next to the door, there was a narrow opening similar to the entrance.
Gu Xiaoxiao stuffed the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant into it with a familiar car, and waited for the stone gate to open with anticipation.
The door was bulky, and slowly opened under the almost obsessive gaze of the three of them.
As the door was fully opened, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands, not because of how terrifying the scene inside was, but because she would be blinded if she didn't cover her eyes again.
It wasn't until she was mentally prepared that Gu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and slowly opened them, there were no mountains of treasures in the secret room that they imagined, only seven things similar to the booths, and three of the booths also had wooden boxes inlaid with jewels.
However, the entire secret room, including the booth, is all made of gold, and it is a rhythm that blinds people's eyes in the dark.
The three of them closed their eyes before, and they also thought that this scene was too incredible. (To be continued.) )
