"Here." He laughed, knocked on the surface, and then knocked on the next one, and sure enough, the sound was different. With his whole right hand, he pressed down on the place where the reverberating sound was muffled. Under the bewitching firelight, the square stone, which was a little larger than the palm of the hand, retreated half a foot away, and the wall on the right side loosened, emitting a tremor, as if the sound of a button being put up. The leader stood up, walked to the wall on the right, pressed his hands firmly on the wall, and began to push hard. There was a grinding sound of stones sliding, and a cloudy air with dust seemed to rush out of the tomb. Pang Tong could see it clearly, and the door stepped back a little, revealing the entrance to the black hole. After taking a torch, the leader walked in, turned to the right and stretched out the torch in his hand, illuminating the steps below, he was the forerunner of the dark world, not afraid of the possible crises ahead. Pang Tong followed behind him. They walked down the stairs, one step at a time. The walls were rough stone walls, and by the course of the road, soon they were already underground. They turned a corner and went deeper down. Pang Tong sighed secretly: "This old Wang Ba, digging so deep and arranging so tightly, is really well-intentioned." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

The sound echoed between the narrow walls. The guide replied excitedly: "We came to raid the house that day, and the bookshelf had been moved outside, and when we lifted the bed, a corner accidentally hit the wall, which was the mechanism, and then we found it too strange, put it back on the bed, and pressed it with all our strength to the wall, and found it." ”

Pang Tong nodded when he listened, and thought to himself: "If it weren't for this adventure, the old thief's secret would not have been obtained." God help me. "Walking on the dusty staircase, I looked at the slightly uneven wall, and the firelight jumped on it, forming strange shapes. They tread on a thick layer of dust and put new marks on the old footprints.

"My lord, it's here." The leader said excitedly. They walked into the flat chamber paved with stone slabs, and the air became thinner. It's a rectangular space, about the same size as the big house above, with a few shelves and a lot of bottles and jars.

"Master Lu said to wait until you come back to move, we haven't seen much of the things here." The leader said. On the opposite wall was a long mahogany table, on which two scrolls sat safely there, as if waiting for someone to open them.

"Master Lu has seen it, but he seems to have said that there are some things that he still can't understand." He approached the table, torch held aloft, and the picture around him was shadowed by the warm, steady light of the fire. Pang Tong picked up a volume, opened it and took a look: "In Xia Li Ru, now the master of Anding County, I am willing to work with Master Ma to break the affairs of Yongzhou and Sizhou." If Lord Ma can be interested, Anding County can make a gift first. ”

Pang Tong seemed to see something that was not surprising enough, and said, "It seems that I haven't had time to send it out yet." He threw it away and picked up another roll, this one was particularly strange, there was no word on a piece of paper, Pang Tong's eyes swept from left to right, and he saw a complete line, and six dots around the line. He frowned, looked left and right, picked it up and looked vertically, and did not notice anything unusual. He thought to himself, "Will you burn it with a candle like in the movie?" "But I'm afraid that the paper will be burned, and the gains outweigh the losses, so I just study it first, and try it if I can't do it.

He gave the roll to Dian Wei on the side. He walked over to the shelves, took out a narrow white bottle, and unplugged it with a "bang" sound, and a pungent smell like a pesticide rushed out. He hurriedly covered it, frowned, and said, "Old fellow, you know how to get poison." Let the Wasai witch doctor study these things. After speaking, he looked around again, and with the characteristic sensitivity of future people, he had already thought about things, and he said, "Touch all the walls for me, and press them." ”

The crowd didn't know what he was going to do, so they had to do it, and touched it on the rough white wall, and the dust kept falling. A soldier burrowed under the table, fumbled around, and was so excited that his head bounced up and hit the table above. The table shook. The man furrizzily poked his head out from under the table, straightened his helmet, and said to Pang Tong, "My lord, there is something wrong here. ”

Pang Tong hurriedly walked over and dragged the table out, and then he looked down, nothing special. The man leaned against the wall and pressed one hand against a place, and the same thing happened to the wall just above, and the stones in all directions were pushed in.

"Da!"

There was a sound from behind the wall. Nothing happened. Intuition told Pang Tong that the mechanism must have been opened somewhere, and he needed to push it hard. He and Dian Wei fumbled around the wall, and the others came to help, exerting themselves everywhere.

The sound of friction began, and everyone looked for prestige, and when a soldier pushed hard in the corner of the wall, a stone of the same volume as the stone just now was pressed in, and it was another mechanism.

"Da!"

Just above where the table had just been against the wall, almost up to the ceiling, a stone was squeezed out and fell to the ground. One person picked it up and gave it to Pang Tong. Pang Tong looked at it, threw it in his hand, and said, "The inside is solid, take it back and let me carefully open it." The soldier took it.

"My lord, go up and have a look." Dian Wei said suddenly, a pair of piercing eyes staring at the hollow left after the stone fell, and the darkness inside seemed to be very deep.

Pang Tong stepped back some distance in surprise, looking up at the darkness in all directions. He said, "Come up and have a look." Everyone hurriedly set up the table and rushed over.

"Slow me down, don't go all up!" Pang Tong said loudly. Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds. In the end, it was the one who led the way who jumped up, his head a foot away from the ceiling, and stood on tiptoe to look inside, but it was black.

"Give me the torch."

He stretched out his hand without looking back. He took a deep breath and brought the torch closer to the wall, moving his body back, his eyes shining with surprise. One hand reached in, and half of his arm was swallowed by the darkness. He touched the object, pulled out his hand, and looked at it.

"Give it to me." Pang Tong was anxious. The man immediately jumped down with a torch in his hand, and gave Pang Tong the mysterious thing he had gotten with one hand. On the soft palm of Pang Tong is a treasure of square gold. Several surfaces are engraved with the image of the sun.

Dian Wei smiled bitterly: "Isn't it just gold?" ”

Pang Tong let out an "um" and shook his head again. He threw the cube upward, caught it again, and said, "It's not ordinary gold. He affirmed. But in the eyes of all, this object illuminated by the light of the fire does shine with its own light and appearance.

The air in the room became thinner due to the flames and artificial breathing, and Pang Tong said, "Let's go, you can come down tomorrow and have a look." "The people took the command. Pang Tong and Dian Wei went to live in a mansion arranged by the county order.

The next day, after Pang Tong got up, he walked to the round table and sat down with his clothes open, opened the wooden box on the table, and took out the square gold nugget. He looked at the object that shimmered with autumn light and said, "Autumn has the weight of winter under its skin. It's not gold. He took the seven-star sword from the window, drew the long sword, placed the scabbard on the table, and picked up the square in one hand. After he sat down, he carefully cut into it with the seven-star sword. The blade sank into it, and his speed grew slower and slower, slower and slower, until he touched something that seemed to be much harder than gold, and he laughed. Then he cut one side in a circle, put down his sword, and with the force of both hands, he broke the square in half. A bright red ball the size of a child's fist landed on the table. Pang Tong hurriedly threw the gold in his hand, pounced with both hands, and firmly grasped the sphere that was about to slide over the edge of the table.

He exhaled deeply.

He took the orb to his eyes and took a closer look. The bright red orb was transparent, with red water and gas mixed in a messy, staggered manner. The orb exudes a breathtaking power, as if it were filled with infinite blood that could inspire a person's fighting spirit, or it could make itself explode instantly and destroy everything. Pang Tong felt that this warm power was flowing along his arm into every muscle and blood vessel in his body. Even the internal organs are occupied. He was excited.

If you smash this ball to the ground, it will explode, right? He thought so.

He couldn't tell what abilities this sphere had, and perhaps the future thousands of years later could answer this question. But now, he can't decipher the proverbs that can change his fate from this sphere. He wrapped it in broken gold and put it in a flannel box. Pushed the box under the bed.

Dian Wei, who had been sitting behind the door, raised his head. It wasn't because of the sound of Pang Tong behind him that woke him up, but someone was approaching. After hearing the doorman ask about the man, there was a knock on the door. Dian Wei got up.

The person outside said: "My lord, there are documents from Linwei County!" ”

Dian Wei opened the door and took the two volumes of documents, Pang Tong had already approached, took it easily, and returned to the round table to sit down. One roll is put down, and the other roll is spread. Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "My son was born!" ”

Dian Wei said with a happy face: "Congratulations, sir!" ”

Pang Tong ordered someone to bring pens, ink, and inkstones, and wrote a letter: "The two ladies work hard to keep the family. The great blessing of the birth of a child, my heart is full of emotion. Great work. My son's surname is Pang, a famous place, and the word is peaceful. Remember. He read another document, mainly the situation in the world, which was directly related to Ma Teng's actions. The head of this Xiliang garrisoned 150,000 troops in Ji County, of which 50,000 were the support troops of the Qiang soldiers. The relationship between Xiliang and the Qiang people is extraordinary. Ma Teng himself has Qiang blood.
