Chapter 281: The Time Has Come

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhanfei was the first to object: "Impossible! How can the two coincide?"

"Naturally, the two themselves can't coincide," Duanmu smiled inwardly, "but what if it's a shadow?"

The scene fell silent again, and after a while, Tanglin Guyun's eyes lit up: "I understand! Are you saying that at some specific moments, the shadow of the top of the Jade Peak will be projected somewhere in the Valley of Customs?!"

"Clever. Duanmu Youning gave him a thumbs up, "When the dragon takes off, it should refer to this specific moment, that is, ......."

"Chenlong!" Tanglin Guyun immediately picked up, "When the dragon takes off, it means that the time has just arrived!"

"That's right," Duanmu Youning nodded, "Next is 'Sunshine is just right', because there is sunlight to have shadows, and if it is cloudy and rainy, it will not work!In other words, if it is a sunny day, then when the hour comes, the sunlight will cast the shadow of the peak of Langyu Peak somewhere in the Valley of Customs, and that place must be the entrance to the underground palace, or at least there will be clues left!"

It seemed that they couldn't accept such a huge surprise for a while, but everyone suddenly fell silent, just looking at each other. After a long while, Xiao Zhanfei exclaimed excitedly: "So that's what that mysterious sentence meant? Great! The princess is really the smartest!"

Before Duanmu Youning could express his modesty, he saw a flash of figure, and the shocked Yu Wenheng had already rushed over as fast as he could, with a face full of eagerness: "What?!The princess guessed the meaning of that sentence?!What is it?!"

You're coming fast. Duanmu Youning smiled faintly, then turned his head and ordered: "Zhanfei, go and ask Xunhuan to come over." Although my guess may not be correct, it is better than being confused. ”

Xiao Zhanfei agreed, got up and invited Suo Tianli over. The leaders of the three parties gathered, and Duanmu Youning repeated Fang Cai's interpretation, and finally said: "Naturally, all this is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence, so it is possible to be busy in vain......"

"No, no, I don't! That sentence must mean this!" Yu Wenheng couldn't control his excitement, and said restlessly, "In that case, let's set off now......"

"Prince Yuwen is calm for a while. Suo Tianli glanced at him and smiled faintly, "If the princess's guess is correct, then you will have to wait until tomorrow to know where the shadow of the peak of the jade peak is, and it is useless for you to go at this moment." ”

Yu Wenheng was stunned for a moment, and his excitement fell slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious......! The longer that delay lasts, the smaller the food reserves, and I am afraid that the army will not be able to endure it for long. ”

Make matters worse by attempting a coverup. Although the rest of the people did not speak, these four words passed through their hearts at the same time. didn't expose it in person, Duanmu Youning continued: "It's not too early, everyone will go back to recuperate, and when tomorrow comes, everything will be known!"

The two nodded and dispersed, Suo Tianli was always calm as usual, but Yu Wenheng was restless, and the two sides formed an unusually sharp contrast.

Smiling, Duanmu Youning said, "If there is no such thing in the underground palace, maybe Yuwen Heng will not be excited like this." ”

"Hmm. Dongling Guyun nodded, "But this is also a legend, and it is not known whether he is or not, so I'm afraid he will be happy too soon!"

Xue Jingyue on the side obviously didn't know what they were talking about, but she also knew that it must be a big deal, so naturally she wouldn't talk too much, just roast the hare with her heart. Looking at her silhouette, Duanmu Youning couldn't help but smile slightly: Xue Jingyue with this appearance is actually quite pitiful.

In short, whether it is a good night's sleep or tossing and turning, the morning light is as good as ever. When Dongling Guyun and Duanmu Youning walked out of the tent, they found that Yuwen Heng had already packed up and was staring at the direction of the rising sun, waiting for the arrival of Chenshi. Looking at his appearance, he longed to shoot up to the sky with wings and kick the sun to the place he designated.

Looking at each other and smiling, the two just washed and dined, and only got up to clean up after enjoying the delicious food of the mountains, and ordered everyone to wait for that moment to come.

Although there is no more explicit explanation in that sentence, everyone knows that the so-called "Langyu Peak" should refer to the highest point of the peak. When you look up, the highest point looks like a needle, standing upright. And at this moment, the shadow of the "needle" is slowly moving its position with the movement of the sun, and the most exciting thing is that the shadow is indeed in the Valley of Customs!

It seems that there is no problem with Duanmu Youning's interpretation.

No matter how calm they were, everyone couldn't help but get excited after seeing this scene: after all, being able to solve a thousand-year-old mystery is a great event for anyone!

As the sun moved, the time was finally approaching, and everyone's eyes were already fixed on the shadow cast by the tip of the "needle", and where it was located must be the entrance to the underground palace!

In the anxious waiting, the time has finally arrived!

Everyone had already unconsciously held their breath, watching this scene in unison, and even their chests had protested because of the long-term suffocation!

At this moment, Yu Wenheng suddenly jumped over: "This is it!

Although it is known as the "tip of the needle", the shadow cast by the top of Langyu Peak in the Valley of the Style is so huge that it is staggering, and the radius is about ten zhang to say the least! However, compared to the entire Valley of Customs, this range is already considered to be terribly small, even if it is dug inch by inch, it is not difficult for 30,000 people.

Hearing the order, everyone in the Ming Feng Kingdom was about to step forward immediately, but Dongling Guyun had already frowned and stopped them: "Slow! Youning, what should I do next?"

Duanmu Youning looked up at the sky: "As time goes by, the shadow will definitely change, so the top priority now is not to dig by hand, but to circle the scope covered by the shadow at this moment!"

Tanglin Guyun nodded, and the three kingdoms each sent a part of their men to use branches to cut into wooden sticks and build a fence around them. After this matter was completed, Duanmu Youning ordered again: no one knows how deep the underground palace is under the soil layer, in order to avoid causing damage, everyone must dig down layer by layer, and must not rush forward.

Naturally, it didn't take 30,000 people to dig at the same time, and the heads of the three kingdoms arranged their own troops and divided them into several groups, the first group was responsible for digging the first layer, and if nothing was found, the second group continued to ...... In this way, wheel battles are generally carried out so as not to overwork.

At the sound of an order, everyone who had already been preparing to go immediately picked up their tools and plunged into the tense busyness. Although everyone complained about the journey along the way, they felt extremely fortunate at this moment: fortunately, they insisted on bringing the tools here, and if they were discarded halfway, they would now have to dig with their bare hands!

In this way, the soldiers of the three kingdoms took turns to fight, and the land was dug up layer by layer, and the excavated earth had been piled up into hills around it. Until night fell, the fresh soil was still in front of everyone.

Seeing that it was getting late, the leaders of the three kingdoms ordered everyone to go back to the camp to rest and continue tomorrow morning. The mystery is getting closer and closer, and everyone knows that they are in a hurry, and they all slept very peacefully this night.

The next morning, after breakfast, the excavation continued. About an hour later, a guard of the Yulin Kingdom suddenly flew over, and reported excitedly: "Lord, princess, there is an abnormality over there!"

"Oh?" Dongling Guyun looked up at him, "What is abnormal?"

The guard replied, "After digging a layer of dirt, what was revealed were huge white slabs, neatly laid out, and the brothers were still cleaning them, and so far the edges of the slabs had not been seen!"

Could it be the entrance to the underground palace? Several people were very excited, and immediately got up and rushed over.

The white slate was basically found from the center, and a cadre of people was slowly clearing out ten zhang square in the surrounding area, but the snow-white slate was as smooth as a mirror, and the pieces were close together, and the gap between them was afraid that even the thinnest blade could not be inserted, which was breathtaking!

Seeing this scene, several people couldn't help but glance at each other, and their excitement was overflowing: it was obvious that these stone slabs were not naturally generated, which meant that their judgment was correct, and this was indeed the location of the underground palace!

"Good...... It's so ......" Yu Wenheng's voice trembled with excitement, and even trembled a little all over, "Great, really...... I'm afraid it's just a legend, I can't think of it...... Great......"

Duanmu Youning's eyes flickered, obviously with his own plans, and he said calmly: "In my opinion, these stone slabs are not the entrance to the underground palace, but the roof, and the real entrance should be sitting north and facing south, go and have a look over there." ”

Nodding, a few people walked to the north, and at the same time ordered everyone to concentrate on digging to the north first. The white slab was about five feet above the ground, and when you looked up, it was as if you had fallen into a huge whirlpool.

After more than an hour, sure enough, a guard came to report: "Lord Wang!

Duanmu Youning stepped forward to take a look and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, dig down the stone slabs, so that all the stone slabs facing south are exposed, and the cleaning of the rest of the directions is suspended!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and immediately retreated to the side in an orderly manner to wait for orders, while the other part of the people lined up and began to clean down the stone slabs.

It was obviously a huge job, and after the first day of cleaning, the slate was only about half a man high. So it wasn't until three days later that they finally dug up the edge, in other words, the south-facing slabs were all on display!

This stone wall is about two feet high and three feet wide from east to west, like a long city wall, intended to isolate the greedy footsteps of tomb robbers. Although no one was going to find this place, the stone walls are carved with exquisite patterns, including dragons and phoenixes, flying dragons in the sky, and double dragons playing with pearls......

In the face of this stone wall, an imposing majesty like an emperor came to the face, which was awe-inspiring!
