Chapter 2 Ancient Tombs

As they walked into the stone gate one after the other, they realized that the stone door had closed unconsciously. Looking at Zhang Lei through the firelight, he saw that his resolute face was slightly flustered, but it did not affect his judgment. He said to Liren, "My lord! blamed his subordinates for being abrupt, so that the lord was also locked up here. ”

Liren confidently comforted: "It's okay! Now that it's here, you don't have to panic. A small stone gate is not too much for me. Now let's go ahead and lead the way! ”

"No!" Zhang Lei saw that Liren did not show a trace of panic, and admired it very much.

Inside the stone gate is a long corridor, and with the help of the firelight, Rihito can see murals on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. He hurriedly greeted Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei! Wait, I'll see what's painted on the stone walls on both sides. ”

Zhang Lei stopped after hearing this, and then noticed that there were a lot of murals on the walls of the corridor on both sides, as if they had fallen off a lot of time after being too old. I wasn't interested in any of this, but I saw that Rihito was appreciating it with relish. He didn't understand and asked Liren: "Lord, what's so good about these, it's better for us to get Shi Miyuan's incriminating evidence soon." ”

"Huh! You don't understand that these murals may be the reason why this place was built. Rihito said to him with a smile.

After listening to what Liren said, Zhang Lei asked rhetorically: "Lord! Could it be that this was not built by Jia Yiren? ”

Pointing to the mural that was about to fall off, Rihito said, "This is definitely not the one he built, you see, this mural shows an emperor or a royal family or something like that, hunting in the mountains." After saying this, Liren pointed to other places and said, "Look here again, the flags on both sides are clear. And there were quite a few military attachΓ©s lined up on both sides, and it seemed that they were fighting the enemy. If this was built by Jia Yiren, there would not be so many biographical murals, and there would not be such a hidden mechanism. They're just going to use it to hide things. ”

Zhang Lei nodded understandingly, and asked again: "According to the meaning of the lord, what is here?" ”

"As far as I can see, this is supposed to be an ancient tomb." Rihito replied in the affirmative.

Zhang Lei said: "Jia Yiren didn't say that this is an ancient tomb, does he want to hide something?" Speaking of this, Zhang Lei suddenly said: "Lord, I think, let's go back, if Jia Yiren makes it bad." I don't care, if you have three longs and two shorts, our Suzaku Army will be finished. ”

Liren laughed and said, "Didn't I say it just now, and I have to say it a few times." Even if there are many mechanisms inside, it can't bother me. Let's go, the mural has been finished, and the rest will be saved for later. After speaking, Liren put aside Zhang Lei and walked to the front by himself.

By the time Zhang Lei reacted, Liren had already walked in front of him. Zhang Lei hurriedly caught up with Liren and said: "The lord walks slowly, how dare his subordinates let the lord get into danger." ”

Rihito said a little impatiently: "You don't need to talk nonsense, just follow me." It's just an ancient tomb, and what I've learned comes in handy. After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense to Zhang Lei, turned around and walked along the road. Zhang Lei knew that now was no longer the time to be modest, so he hurriedly followed Liren forward.

Now the speed of the two is no longer Zhang Lei's cautious way just now, but has been changed by Liren to stride forward. Liren in front seems to be very familiar with this place, and Zhang Lei in the back feels very strange, could it be that the lord has been here. But when I think about it, it's impossible.

The two of them advanced for half a quarter before being blocked by a wall in front of them. Li Ren immediately searched left and right, and saw a relief of a big tiger head on the left wall. The inside of this tiger's mouth is dark and gloomy, and Zhang Lei just wanted to take the risk to find out if there was a mechanism inside, and Li Ren had already put his hand inside. Zhang Lei only looked at Liren's expression in a cold sweat next to him.

Rihito reached into the small hole and grabbed an iron ring inside. Skillfully, he pulled it out, only to see that the tunnel wall next to the relief, which had no gaps, silently fell inside, revealing a secret door.

Rihito was now very cautious, first throwing the torch in his hand into the door, and then observing the situation inside the door. To his disappointment, there were only a few boxes and a row of bookshelves in the side door.

Sensing that there was no danger, Li Ren stepped into the secret room first, and Zhang Lei followed closely. Rihito looked at the boxes and bookshelves in front of him and said to himself, "Why is this happening? It shouldn't be! ”

Zhang Lei asked incomprehensibly: "Lord! What do you say shouldn't? ”

"Oh!" Only then did Liren raise his head to look at Zhang Lei, and said, "This should be a huge ancient tomb, and what we walked through just now should only be the passage on its side." But when we came here, we only found this secret room, which should be the place where Jia Yiren hid his treasure, but didn't he realize it after being here for so long? ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Oh! In this way, if the lord really wants to know, wait for me to go back and let Jia Yiren speak again. But! Lord, look at the big box in front of you, it should be the gold and silver treasures that Jia Yiren said, and there should be letters between Shi Miyuan and him on the bookshelf. Don't you want to take a look? ”

Liren shook his head after hearing what Zhang Lei said, and then noticed the bookshelf in front of him and the large boxes piled together. Walking to the nearest box, Rihito pulled out the Flame Blood Knife he was carrying, and with a slight slash, the key on the box fell to the ground. Then he used the blood knife to pick up the lid of the box, and in an instant, the silver ingot of the white flower appeared in front of Liren.

Zhang Lei said in surprise in the back: "My good boy, lord! There must be silver here that Jia Yiren said can top the imperial court to pay taxes for two years. ”

Rihito looked at the open box in front of him and silently estimated it in his heart. opened his mouth and said: "If there is still gold according to Jia Yiren's explanation, it is estimated that it will be more than two years of taxes for the imperial court. ”

At this time, Zhang Lei was even more surprised and said: "So many silver taels, can he Jia Yiren use them up?" ”

"He alone will definitely not be able to use it up, and I estimate that there is a large part of Shi Miyuan in these. It seems that Shi Miyuan's plan is not small," Liren explained clearly. Then he said, "I don't care about these silver taels at all, but this ancient tomb. If it hadn't been stolen, it would have been ten times as much treasure as it was. ”

After Zhang Lei listened to what Liren said, his eyes immediately turned into a copper coin state. He smiled and said, "Hehe! When we go back, I must let this corrupt official confess. See what's in there. ”

Li Ren looked at Zhang Lei's disgusting appearance, slapped him on the head and said, "Don't just think about silver, first go and see if there is anything on the bookshelf that Jia Yiren said and exchanged secret letters with Shi Miyuan." ”
