Han Peacock walked around casually and found that there was no trace of a garden in any place except for the building complex where he was located.

After decades of evolution, the ancient Li Garden has been completely dilapidated, if it were not for the strong houses here, if it were not for the underground karst caves that could not be destroyed, I would not have left a trace of the Li Garden here.

The entrance to the underground labyrinth is at the rear of the complex, where a fence has been erected to cover the entrance, and everyone who wants to enter has to buy a fifty yuan ticket.

Han Peacock took out fifty yuan, bought a ticket and walked into the underground maze.

This underground labyrinth is actually a karst cave, and for thousands of years, the underground limestone has been eroded by water to create countless caves, large and small.

With the changes of the world, the increase of the terrain, or the decrease of the water level, the water source in this cave has been exhausted, and the current underground palace has been formed.

The underground palace is obviously rested, although it is called a labyrinth, but the main route is marked, and some small forks are also marked one by one, pointing out the direction for visitors entering here.

After Han Peacock entered the underground, he did not enter the small fork in the road to explore, but walked along the main road, wanting to see the overall structure of the place first.

Although it is said that there is a treasure here, but if Han Peacock really asks him to find it, he really can't figure it out, so he doesn't bother to grope around.

Not long after he walked into the dungeon, Han Peacock met a few people, listening to their words, he should not be very old.

"Xiao Jia, can we really find Li Yuan's treasure?" A male voice said.

"Of course. I've been preparing for so long, and this time it's definitely rewarding. "This could be the girl named Xiaojia.

"I hope to gain something, if I can't get the money, Mr. Li will be delayed."

"I'm sure I'll find the treasure, so we don't have to change schools." Xiao Jia said very confidently.

"And how do we find it?"

"Just follow me."

Han Peacock listened to a few words and became interested, since he didn't have any clues, it was better to follow these children to take a look.

So Han Peacock was not ashamed to follow a few children, and walked forward along the main passage.

The first few little ones should be students from the surrounding schools. Is it really because his teacher doesn't go to school? Instead, I want to change schools, and I came here so early in the morning to hunt for treasures?

With them along the way, it was noisy and noisy, making the gloomy dungeon noisy.

Han Peacock followed these students unhurriedly. Walked through large and small karst caves. If there are no road signs here. There are no electric lights on the main road, and people who are not familiar with it will get lost 100% when they enter here.

Even so. In this cave, every few tens of meters, there is a guide below to guide the tourists.

"You see, that's what I found out last time." Han Peacock was walking forward when he heard the voice of a little girl in front of him.

"What did you find? There's nothing special here, huh? A little boy's voice said puzzledly.

"Stupid, how do you see this wall different from the rest of the place?" Another female voice said viciously.

Han Peacock walked a few steps quickly, followed the sound, and walked into a small fork in the road, and the students he followed before were studying something in the cave that was not too small.

"It's no different."

"You are really incorrigible, look at these marks, do they look like they were cut out by a knife and axe?"

"Yes, if you don't say it, I haven't thought of it, but what you said is true."

Han Peacock's heart moved when he heard this, and he turned into a cave near the students, he took out a flashlight, and also looked at the cave wall here.

He searched carefully for a week, but he didn't find any traces of the cold weapon cutting the cave wall, but he was right when he thought about it, even if there had been a battle here, it was still a slashing person, if it wasn't for an accident, no one would have slashed the cave wall with a knife and axe.

Even if there are some traces, unless the traces are obvious, otherwise after so many years, the slight traces have been worn away by time.

Thinking about it, Han Peacock no longer looked for traces of knives and axes, just when he was about to walk out of this cave, Han Peacock's heart moved, he aimed the light at the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, there were some small pits on the wall of the cave at the entrance of the cave.

Han Peacock carefully analyzed, there are still many such small pits on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, such small pits are definitely not naturally formed, and they don't want to be left by bullets.

Because the bullet of the firearm, the power will definitely not be so small, if it is really a rifle into the wall of the cave, the bullet will definitely stay on the wall of the hole.

Flintlock pistols? Or is there a more backward gun or a birdshot?

Soon, Han Peacock cleaned up some cave walls without small pits, and without the cover of moss or anything, some small pits appeared, and sure enough, there were traces of iron sand.

Han Peacock instantly thought of Liu Xiucheng and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

If Li Xiucheng had come in here, then all this would have made sense.

At the beginning, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used the captured Qing army's bird guns and carrying guns, which were relatively backward and certainly could not cause heavy damage to the cave walls here, but the flintlock pistol was different.

After the Taiping army later occupied Jiangnan, through European and American smugglers, they imported many modern guns, including flintlock pistols, which were slightly backward at that time, and of course, there were also more advanced fire cap firing pistols at that time.

After that, the Taiping army also copied some of its own, and in the later period, Li Xiucheng's army had a high proportion of firearms, and the army mixed with flintlock pistols and bird guns was also the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, after all, Zeng Guofan's troops were government troops and were much better equipped.

In this way, if it is said that this is the attack traces left by Li Xiucheng's troops, it really makes sense.

With the discovery, Han Peacock continued to follow the students in front of him, and found a lot of cave walls similar to those hit by a flintlock pistol, if this trace is really like Han Peacock's speculation, the battle in this underground cave back then. It should be intense.

This should be the retreat of the Li family in Li Yuan, since they were chased here by the Taiping army, it is not so easy for the Li family to get out easily, and the biggest possibility is to be exterminated by Li Xiucheng's troops.

"Xiaojia, where are you leading us here?"

"Tell you that you don't know the way, just follow along."

"Yes, if you have discovered, you will have a share."

"Coward, I wouldn't have brought you here if I knew the road."

"What can you find?"

"Keep up. Be careful. The people of the Li family were ruthless back then! They didn't leave anything for the Taiping army, and even the tables and chairs at home were moved into this treasure house, as long as we follow the traces of the battle, it is very likely that we will find the final treasure place. ”

"It's useless if we find out! The Taiping Army must have discovered it a hundred years ago. ”

"You pig brains, huh? The Taiping army must have discovered Li Yuan's treasure trove. But they didn't touch the treasure here. On the contrary, a lot of them were shipped in the later period. At that time, our Suzhou and Hangzhou states were not lightly harmed by them.

There are so many treasures, if they are shipped out, there will definitely be legends. Now there is none, it can only mean that the treasure is still here, since it is here, then the treasure here is their last hope, but they did not open the passage to the magic capital later, and they did not use it.

If it is really found, not only the treasure of the Li family is here, there must be the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom here, you must know that Lu Dao, until now, no one has found the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

I thought, maybe somewhere under our feet, there's a huge treasure trove waiting for us. Xiao Jia's voice came, and Han Peacock's conjecture came out.

Han Peacock listened to a cold sweat, this current child is really not to be humiliated, many adults can't think of it, they can think so clearly.

Just like the little girl said, the final burial place of the treasure must be the place where the battle is fiercest, as long as this place is found, the treasure will definitely not be far away.

If other people also had this kind of thought, they would definitely have found out this batch of treasures a long time ago, I don't know what Lu Dao is doing now, and no one has been able to discover the Li family's treasures.

"Oops! Bad, there's water here. ”

"What's wrong with the water?"

"The traces of the battle have disappeared here, and the most likely thing is to enter the cave below, but now the cave below is flooded, and we can't continue to track it."

"What should I do?"

"What else can I do? If we can't find any clues, we can only be submerged underwater, which is not what we are capable of finding. ”

Han Peacock likes all places with abundant water, here, Han Peacock can control the groundwater here at will, those students can't continue to explore Xia, but Han Peacock can follow the flow of water and continue to explore Xiaxia for more than a hundred meters.

The little girl's speculation was very correct, the direction of the battle was underwater, and under this water, there was an extremely large underground palace, which was submerged in the depths of the groundwater.

Just when Han Peacock wanted to sneak into the water to investigate, the commanding and unusually smart female voice said again: "Okay, let's go back and carefully search every place where there are traces of fighting."

Especially in the crevices of the ground, perhaps there will be some gold and silver treasures missing in those crevices, and we can only look for the scattered treasures that we missed during the battle, as long as we have a harvest, we can buy diving equipment and continue to explore the Luxia. ”

"Teacher Li can't seem to wait."

"Why don't we go to the city to collect donations?"

"Don't dream, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, now people are afraid of being deceived, we go to the street to collect donations, we won't get much money, but will be ridiculed."

"Then we have to give it a try, we can't sit still."

"If you really can't do it, go home and get the money, anyway, if you don't pay the medical bills to Teacher Li, the money will be given to those Qing officials of the Education Bureau."

"My dad also has a lot of money for him! Say it's a transfer fee. ”

"Our family is too, but it's not to send money, it's to send things according to the principal's preferences!"

"If you really can't do it, go home and get the money, anyway, the money can't be wasted."

"If it doesn't work, we'll hire someone to hunt for treasure, and then hire some mercenary bodyguards, and if we really find the treasure, we will have everything."

"You've read too many novels!"

"I believe in myself, and if someone supports me, I'm sure I'll be able to find the baby." This is the voice of that little Jia.

Han Peacock was speechless. Today's children are too tough, and they are simply smart.

Hearing the analysis of these children, Han Peacock was not in a hurry.

Since something that a little girl can think of, after so many years, it is impossible for others to think of it.

Now even if he goes down and continues to search, he will definitely not gain much, he might as well see if these children can gain anything now.

Without the idea of continuing to search for the treasure, Han Peacock walked around the cave at will, constantly controlling the flow of water through him. to speculate on the direction of underground water veins.

Such a place. It is incredible that there is an abundant water source underground, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this underground water vein can be said to be an underground river.

Take Han peacock's sensitivity to water. He clearly sensed the water source within a hundred meters of the ground. As long as there is water underground. can clearly reflect in his mind, where the water goes, his perception can also follow.

That's it. Han Peacock followed the underground water source all the way to the south, and soon, he found that this groundwater actually extended far away.

At this time, Han Peacock unknowingly walked to another exit of the underground maze, and when he walked out of the underground maze, Han Peacock found that he had actually reached the foot of the mountain.

This made him feel even more incredible, the dungeon he was in just now was completely at the top of the hillside, that is, the water level there was much higher than the surface outside.

Looking at a hill looming in the distance, Han Peacock felt a kind of realization rise in his heart.

Last night, Lao Li of the small restaurant seemed to have said that all the mountains around here belonged to the Li family and belonged to the scope of Li Garden, so the mountains corresponding to this hill in the distance also belonged to the Li family?

Just now, Han Peacock followed the underwater leyline, and actually found that this leyline extended directly into the distance, and it may not be possible to extend to the hill opposite.

It is the eternal principle that water flows to a low place, but now, there is a vein of underground water that can flow to a high place.

This kind of discovery made Han Peacock feel incredible, but such a situation is not impossible, so after Han Peacock carefully explored the direction of the underground water vein, he made a conclusion.

Underground of this Li Garden, there is an underground river that has been artificially rested, of course, it is likely that it is not an underground river, but an underground passage, and then I don't know what the road is, the groundwater flooded the channel, thus forming the wonder of the water flowing to a high place now.

It is also very easy to form this kind of wonder, as long as the U-shaped channel is formed, as long as the water level on one side is high, it will naturally be suppressed by atmospheric pressure, so that the water level at both ends of the U-line channel is consistent, which is the same as the level made by the water pipe.

If it is really as Han Peacock speculated, the underground passage of this Li Garden extends directly to the top of the hill in the distance, and this place is more than ten kilometers away from that hill.

If this is really done manually, such a project, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, is a big project that costs people and money.

Although he felt incredible about such a large project, thinking of the limestone underground, Han Peacock knew that such a passage was really possible.

As long as the underground of this piece is all limestone, it is possible to corrode out of the cave, and there is a cave, as long as you take a little rest, not to mention more than ten kilometers, even if it is a hundred kilometers of passage, you can easily get out.

discovered the secret of the underground labyrinth, but what is the use of this, such a secret, it must not only be discovered by him, if there is really a treasure below, it is absolutely impossible to stay until now.

Han Peacock couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to, he had been out for a long time, maybe Chen Jiayi and they were looking for him.

"Brother Han, when did you come down?" As soon as Han Peacock turned around, he heard the cry of dragon scales.

"Huh? How did you guys drive down? Han Peacock looked at the convoy in the distance strangely.

Dragon Scale said: "Don't say it, I'm really unlucky, the maze above was blocked by a group of people, I heard that the archaeological team is there, come to archaeology, isn't this nonsense?" "Dragon Scale Road.

Chen Jiayi said: "Maybe there is a new discovery, come here to hunt for treasures, right?" ”

"That doesn't kick us out for no reason." Dragon Scale said angrily.

Chen Jiayi said helplessly: "This is the strength of the country, people can dig other people's ancestral graves with confidence, do you dare?" ”

"Look, that thing is the legendary Luo and Yang shovels, right? This is the archaeological team! Or a tomb robber? I've heard that only grave robbers use this thing, right? The dragon scales pointed to a few people in the distance.

Han Peacock looked over, and sure enough, those people were holding a strange shovel with a long handle and a slender and sharp underneath, digging the soil one by one, and they were indeed using Luo and Yang shovels.

"There's still there."

"There."

"It's all over the place."

"What are they doing here?"

With everyone's chaotic discussions, Han Peacock found that this time it seemed that he was going to move seriously, and in the entire Li Garden, there were people using Luo and Yang shovels to probe the underground.

"This method is good, although it is very stupid, but such a large-scale detection, as long as there is something underground, you can't hide from their shovels." Chen Jiayi said with emotion.

"It's all limestone down there, and there are so many underground palaces, what can they detect by doing this?" Dragon Scale Road.

"Where they're probing avoids the dungeon below." Han Peacock quickly saw that something was wrong.

It seems that the experts of these archaeological teams are not eating for nothing, and they have more evidence to prove that there is indeed a treasure here, and if they do not find useful clues, they can only take such a stupid method.

"It's useless to look at Luo and Yang shovel." The dragon scales pointed to a place where it was clear that it had encountered a rock underground, and it was no longer able to shovel it.

Han Peacock smiled bitterly: "Look again, what did they transport over?" ”

"That's a rig, right?" Chen Jiayi said in astonishment. (To be continued......)
