When Zhang Shou hurried from the courtyard of Zanghai at the foot of the mountain to the top of Malu Mountain, he got an unexpected and reasonable news. Zhu Ying said to do it, Zhu Yi didn't stop her at all, she had already taken the little monk Guantao who was dumbfounded, and a monk Huifa who was said to have had experience in drilling holes in Wanghai Temple, plus Zhu Yi, and a group of four people went down together.

De'an, the presiding officer of Wanghai Temple, who personally guarded an authentic entrance, was an old monk over fifty years old, and as soon as he saw Zhang Shou coming, he first meticulously relayed Zhu Yi's helpless words.

"The eldest lady said that when she was walking around Cangzhou before, she heard rumors that there were Taizu relics hidden in the secret passage in Maliu Mountain, so she must go down to see it herself."

Zhang Shou was extremely speechless. Zhu Ying didn't tell him about it! Moreover, even if there are such rumors, it is the same as what mountains and rivers are buried in treasures, and there are many possibilities to deceive people by false rumors. Or did he underestimate Zhu Ying's enthusiasm for Taizu's relics? But the few fragments of stele he got from the old salted fish, and he didn't see the eldest lady pondering it!

Looking at the dark entrance of the tunnel, he couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, but then, when he heard the words of the old monk De'an, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The tunnels under the Malu Mountain, those places that are easy to collapse, Wanghai Temple has been found out early, and they ordered people to block them one by one, after all, there were pilgrims and children who went down to it in the past, and they were almost lost, but in the end, they found someone safely. As for the map, although it is not very detailed, there are sketches, and the person who was the guide was the one who had gone down to look for the child. ”

Since De'an was fair and clear in the rumors, when he said this at this time, he naturally had an extremely sincere attitude, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault.

"Although there are monks in Wanghai Temple, even if they go down with a dozen, it doesn't matter, but the eldest lady insists on refusing, and there are too many people in the temple who are worried about going down, in case any monk behaves inappropriately and causes her to misunderstand, so I didn't send more people to follow. I also asked Dr. Zhang to relax his mind, the eldest lady should just be a whim, and she will come up when she finds it boring. ”

"Originally, the little brother next to the eldest lady also suggested that she tie a rope around her arm before going in, so as to prevent her from getting lost as much as possible, but knowing that the total length of the tunnel in Malu Mountain is several miles, she finally dispelled this idea."

Hearing this, Zhang Shou thought to himself that the word boring was indeed very appropriate.

Tunnel this thing, it's very interesting to look at the image, but it's very boring when you go down in person, he once went to see a famous site on the Jizhong Plain, which can walk upright, but it's really authentic...... If you look at the images, you can see that most of them cannot stand upright. What's more, even if there are more vents, the air will still be cloudy......

I really don't know where the eldest lady got her interest!

In contrast, the authentic Zhangyuan in the capital is simply a luxury configuration! It's really the same as in film and television dramas, whether it is a secret room or a tunnel, it is all reinforced with green bricks and giant woods, not to mention the underground height can be used for people to walk upright, and even three people can stack Arhats to get the top......

However, reason certainly told him that there was no need to go down to drill the hole at this time, Zhu Ying should be safe and sound, and he would not be able to hold back his exit after a while, but, after thinking about it, he finally said to De'an, the host of Wanghai Temple: "Can you ask someone to show me the way?" I'll have to go down and see. Whether she's messing around or anything else, since I'm taking her out, I've got to take her back safely. ”

Zhu Hong, who had just personally rushed to the Zanghai Lower Courtyard to inform Zhang Shou, was slightly relieved until he heard this.

He has always felt that since his eldest lady met Zhang Shou, she has completely forgotten what it means to be reserved by the eldest lady, and she has fallen into it desperately, and she doesn't know how much sincerity she has paid. So. When the eldest prince came to him and vaguely expressed this same concern, he always pricked up his ears and opened his eyes wide.

Fortunately, Zhang Shou didn't need him to stare at it, because Zhang Shou was obviously more tranquil than ordinary people about fame and fortune, and he never saw any signs of wholeheartedly planning for the future...... Probably because people rarely hang out at all, others can't seize this opportunity at all, not to mention, Zhang Shou has an ordinary attitude towards a rare and talented woman like Princess Yongping.

The only thing he needs to worry about is that Zhang Shou is just helpless and conniving at Zhu Ying, but in fact, he doesn't pay much sincerity.

But at this moment, seeing that Zhang Shou was going to come to a monk as a guide, after waiting for someone to enter the tunnel to lead the way, he immediately followed in front of Ah Liu without hesitation...... Otherwise, with the temperament of Mrs. and Mrs. in the family, how could they let it go?

Although he was very reluctant to be a groundhog burrowing in the ground, since he came down, Zhang Shou put aside his messy mood and concentrated on preparing to find someone. However, after bending down and walking down the tunnel for a while, he felt that his waist and neck were a little sore, and at the same time, he suddenly noticed a problem.

In order to conserve precious oxygen, the four of them lit only one lamp, but when it really came down, his eyes gradually became familiar with the darkness, and he felt that it was not as dark as he thought. Every few short distances, there are air holes open on the heights or sides of the air that shoot beams of light that stand out in the dark, and the air around is not fresh, but at least not particularly depressing.

As he leaned forward against the earthen wall, he soon discovered another problem, that is, this tunnel did not look like an ancient project that had been excavated for thousands of years and then abandoned due to the changes of the times.

Thinking about the manpower and productivity of the Qi State during the Warring States Period and the Seven Heroes, although it is indeed considered rich among the Six Kingdoms, even if it is a large-scale construction on the only commanding heights in this endless plain, is this tunnel in front of you an exaggeration?

In the past, the tunnels were either used to store and transport troops, or were used to store grain and ordnance during wartime, or as a sharp weapon to detonate the city wall during siege - this last may have been the frequent use of gunpowder after the Song and Yuan dynasties.

This is not the Warring States version of tunnel warfare, there is no possibility of guerrilla warfare in this small Maliu Mountain, why dig a large-scale labyrinth? Once the enemy really hits the mountain, even if you hollow out the entire bottom of the mountain, you will already lose strategically!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou frowned slightly. But at this moment, he vaguely heard a sound not far away. He immediately clapped his hands and signaled everyone to stop, and then turned around and patted Ah Liu's shoulder, and when he saw the young man behind him looking at him, he pointed to his ear.

Seeing that Ah Liuxin nodded in understanding, he immediately listened attentively, but Zhang Shou did not give up, he also listened attentively to the movement in front of him, and soon caught a faint sound again. However, the sound seemed to be far away, and even if he concentrated, he couldn't tell whether it was speech or something else.

But soon, the young man beside him who had good ears had already made a judgment: "The source of the voice seems to be on the left side of the front, and I heard the voice of the eldest lady." Sounds like she's not in any danger, but she seems happy? ”

Are you still happy? Well, the eldest lady's interests are really different from ordinary people.

Zhang Shou put a question mark in his heart, and Ah Liu took the opportunity to whisper a few words to the guide monk in front of him. The next moment, the lean monk turned around and whispered, "If it is on the left side of the front, you should go to the fork in the road and take the second intersection...... But there are too many forks in the road, although Wanghai Temple has explored the road and drawn a map, but the map is not very complete, because it is impossible to confirm whether there is a secret passage. ”

As if sensing that the word secret passage was easy to cause ambiguity, he hurriedly added: "If it is far away, we can only look forward slowly, and we can't be in a hurry, Senior Brother Huifa is a very cautious person, maybe he left us a mark on the road." ”

Zhang Shou didn't intend to put pressure on people casually, and said without thinking at the moment: "Okay, listen to you, you will lead the way with all your heart." ”

Zhu Hong, who fell at the end, also groped around while walking to see if there were any marks, and even thought about whether Zhu Ying would leave anything he carried, such as golden hairpins, silver coins, golden melon seeds and other things to guide the way, however, when he heard Ah Liu say that he heard Zhu Ying's voice and people were still happy, he was a little speechless.

In this kind of place where he was a big man walking a little frightened, for fear that the soil layer on the top would suddenly collapse, Zhu Ying was not only afraid, but ...... Happy?

After turning three or four forks in the road, because he was often still turning around, and he was in the dim underground, Zhu Hong, who secretly remembered the road, had no direction, so he could only stagger behind the person in front of him. He is twenty years old this year, and he is extremely tall, which has always been a point of pride for him in the past, but now he feels extremely inconvenient.

And he looked at the three people in front of him, the monk Huiming who led the way was not tall, and Zhang Shou, who was only seventeen years old, had not yet grown up, as for Ah Liu...... The odd-tempered young man was half a head shorter than Zhang Shou, so the first three people only needed to bow their heads slightly in this tunnel to advance, but he almost had to bend his entire waist down.

Fortunately, just when his waist and knees were sore, the voice in front of him suddenly became much clearer, and it was Zhu Ying's voice. Although it seemed that there was still some distance between the sounds, his hanging heart finally let go.

"Of course this monument must be brought back, otherwise I haven't drilled the hole in the ground for so long? The rumors in the market, of course, I just listened to them casually as a story at first, what Emperor Taizu rebuilt the tunnels of Maliu Mountain...... But how long have you been on this trip? Even if the Qi State guards Maliu Mountain and digs tunnels on the mountain to prevent Yan Zhao, is this too long? ”

"Of course, it is possible that this monument is not an antiquity, but it was deliberately placed here, and then someone deliberately spread it to me. But so what? Even if I can't understand it, Ah Shou always understands! ”

In a huge underground hall deep underground, Zhu Ying pressed a quaint stele in the center with her hand, with an unquestionable tone. But at this moment, she suddenly heard Zhu Yi's voice: "Someone is coming!" ”

Although she didn't know who it was, Zhu Ying still closed her mouth for the first time, with a vigilant expression on her face, but immediately after, she heard a familiar voice: "Yingying, even if you come down to find something, you can wait for me to come along, you come down so first, aren't you afraid that I will go back and be chased and killed by Brother Zhu's Xingshi?" ”

"Why did you get down!" Zhu Ying was suddenly indescribably happy in her heart, but seeing Hui Ming, Zhang Shou, and Ah Liuyi appear, and the last one was Zhu Hong, she said angrily with a wrong mouth, "Zhu Hong, why are you making a fuss and forcing Ah Shou to come down to me?" ”

Zhu Hong only felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, so he could only smile bitterly: "It's Shou Gongzi who is not at ease, and he wants to come down to find someone." ”

Of course, he didn't bother to stop it, because he wished that Zhang Shou could care more about his eldest lady......

Zhu Ying's face was slightly red, however, under the dim light, this change in her demeanor was well concealed. She flicked the strand of hair next to her ear, and then said with a slight annoyance: "Ah Shou, you should stay outside, so that you can take care of it, you are like this, you only think about others, and you don't care about yourself at all!" ”

Zhang Shou was dumbfounded. Miss, are you qualified to say that to others? Thinking about it this way, he just coughed in the end, and then returned to the right and said: "Okay, there are too many people in this tunnel, and it will be troublesome to turn around if the air is not smooth, don't stay here longer, you go before and after, let's go." ”

Zhu Ying muttered embarrassedly: "It's easy to go, but there is a stele here, and I see that the handwriting on it is similar to the broken stele he gave you to you before, so I want to take it back." But Zhu Yi, who is useless, actually said that he couldn't carry it. ”

"I can't carry it...... How do you get out of this stuff that is at least hundreds of pounds? Zhu Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

He simply threw the problem directly in front of Zhang Shou, and then glanced at Ah Liu again. Not to mention other people, no matter how powerful as Ah Liu, even if the hidden old salted fish and the fat monk of the Tibetan Sea are brought together, who said that this monument can be carried out?

Sure enough, the next moment, he only heard Ah Liu speak: "I can't." ”

Zhang Shou measured the length, width and height of the stele, and then casually multiplied the density of ordinary rocks, and it was still smaller, he knew that it was impossible for all of them to add a piece, so he simply took the lamp in Huiming's hand and went up and down in front of the stele. Seeing that it was indeed a large number of letters like a book from heaven, he looked at it carefully for a while, and then secretly sighed.

When they entered, they did not find the marks that should have been very heavy when the stele was transported, which showed that it had been here for some years. However, some antiquities do not mean that they are real.

Just those unwritten letters, no one can fool him!

So, Zhang Shou simply said with a decisive word: "If you can't move out, you will go back and send someone again, first rub the handwriting, and then see if you can move this stone stele." Anyway, such a big piece of stuff can't run, let's go up first! ”
