Gu Xiu quietly listened to Zhan Xianjun talk about the entanglements of the past.

His heart fluctuated in shock, and he was distressed by all kinds of emotional entanglements, he was speechless, just drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

When he first saw Phantom Moon Shadow three years ago, he was attracted by her weak and coquettish temperament. He knew that he couldn't compare to Zhan Xianjun's status in her heart, so he only silently buried this relationship in his heart.

He really couldn't connect that weak woman with a murderer.

But what Zhan Xianjun said, he couldn't believe it.

A tender mistake, Gu Xiu's mood at this moment just wants to get drunk.

Zhan Xianjun's mood is more complicated, it is simply a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Sadly, so many brothers and sisters who have followed him for many years have died because of themselves.

Happily, a knot that has been suppressed in my heart has finally opened.

He wanted to laugh out loud, and he wanted to cry out loud, but in the end, he didn't do anything but get drunk with Gu Xiu.

The next day, the lake will be drained today, as planned.

Before going to Xingyue Lake. Luohua finds Zhan Xianjun.

She took an embroidered purse and handed it to him, and when she opened it, there was a jade plaque inside.

"On the day of the drink, Miss Xingrou put it with me, saying that if something happens to her, I'll give it to you."

Zhan Xianjun picked up the jade plaque and felt a little familiar, a little similar to the one he picked up in the lake. When I turned it over, it was also engraved with four words: "Fang Ling Yongji".

"Why did you take it out now?" Zhan Hyun Jun asked.

Luohua said: "The girl didn't say very clearly what the accident was, I only thought that the ancient cultivator could cure her, and when she woke up, I would return this to her, who knew that there was such a big thing in the palace." So I thought it would be better to put this with you. ”

Zhan Xianjun carefully compared the two jade plates, and only felt that the materials and colors were very similar, but they seemed to be cut by the same piece of jade. The text on it is also correct, maybe there is some connection, and I can't find a clue for a while, so I put away the two pieces of jade, and I want to wait for today's matter to be finished, and study it with Gu Xiu.

When he arrived at Xingyue Lake, Zhan Xianjun saw that everyone was waiting by the lake.

After receiving his instructions, they lit the first lead, and with a few loud "boom~" sounds, the cave exploded into rubble. After the explosion of one section, someone immediately went over to clean up the rubble, and then went inside to detonate the second section.

This was repeated repeatedly, and by noon, the cave had been completely blown up.

The channel from the lake to the mouth of the cave has already been dug up, and the lake will leak out of the cave if the mouth of the canal is blown open.

Once the lake is drained, the Phantom Palace will be washed away by the flood.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhan Xianjun. He nodded slowly, and the last fuse lit. The explosion was followed by the "whooshing" sound of the rushing water.

Soon, the water flowed away, the water level dropped, and after two or three hours, it finally bottomed out.

As the bottom of the lake appeared, the crowd was shocked and talked louder and louder.

In the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, hundreds of corpses were shocking.

Most of them had rotted so much that only bones remained, and some of them were children's corpses, which should have been dead between months and years, judging by the degree of decomposition.

With such a large number of corpses, no one in the Phantom Spirit Palace has been aware of it for so many years, which has to be said to be appalling.

It's no wonder that the water lilies in Xingyue Lake grow particularly well, and they are all nourished by these carrion corpses.

Zhan Hyunjun assigned people to clean up the corpse.

He himself took Gu Xiu to the mouth of the culvert that he found that night.

The entrance to the cave was not wide, about the size of a normal well, just enough for one or two people to pass through. For some reason, there is no water in the cave at the moment.

The two glanced at each other, and Zhan Xianjun said, "I'll go down and see, what's strange here." ”

Gu Xiu said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go down alone, I'll go with you, so I can take care of it." ”

Zhan Xianjun knew that Gu Xiu rarely used force because of the hanging pot to help the world, but in fact, his skills were not as good, so he did not refuse, and the two fell down along the cave wall one after the other.

When he went down, he supported the wall with his palm to slow down the fall.

After a few rounds, the soles of my feet flicked and I stepped on the ground, thinking that it was the end.

It was pitch black underneath, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Gu Xiu took out a fire fold and lit it, and the two of them saw that the bottom of the well was much wider than the wellhead, and there was another road, and they couldn't tell which direction it was turning.

At this moment, the two of them had no choice, so they walked along the road.

After walking for about a stick of incense, there was a sudden cheerfulness in front of me, and it turned out that I had arrived at a cave.

There is also a pool of turquoise clear water in the center of the cave, and there is a mist on the surface of the water.

"What's weird to you?" Zhan Xianjun inspected the environment in the cave again and asked.

Gu Xiu didn't speak, but approached the cave wall, stretched out his hand and touched it, then looked up and said, "This cave seems to have been repaired by someone, not like a natural formation." ”

Zhan Xianjun nodded and said, "Let's be careful of the mechanism here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiu's hand touched a cold circular protrusion. There was no light in the cavern, so he hurriedly moved the fire fold closer: it was a metal knocker.

The knocker is green and rusty, and it looks old.

"Come and see!" He shouted.

Zhan Xianjun jumped over, got closer to see the knocker, and said, "Since there is a knocker, there must be a door, let's look for it carefully!" ”

The two of them groped for the wall of the cave again, and sure enough, they found a concave groove, and when they shone it with the light of the fire, it turned out to be a keyhole with a large bowl mouth.

Gu Xiu said deflated: "There are doors and locks, but there are no keys, isn't it for nothing?" ”

Zhan Xianjun carefully observed the shape of the keyhole, and suddenly his heart moved.

After thinking about it for a while, he took out the jade plate of "Xianshou Yongchang" from his arms and put it in, and the shape just fits.

Gu Xiu clapped his hands happily and said, "Wonderful! ”

However, the two waited for a moment, and Shimen did not move.

"What's going on?" Gu Xiu looked at Zhan Xianjun and asked.

Zhan Xianjun frowned and said, "Could it be that you want to use two jade plates together, but this keyhole obviously only matches the shape of this one." ”

"Two jade plaques?" Gu Xiu didn't know that Luohua gave Xingrou's jade plate to Zhan Xianjun in the morning.

"There's another piece of Xingrou's, look!" He handed another jade plaque to Gu Xiu, "Just take a look, but what clues are there?" ”

"Fang Ling Yongji......" Gu Xiu muttered, "It looks like a couple." However, the four words of Xianshou Yongchang, I have already seen them on the scroll, and these words are the first time I have seen them. ”

Lifting the scroll, Gu Xiu said with a flash of inspiration: "If these two pieces of jade are a pair, and I give you that scroll only has Immortal Shou Yongchang on it, then maybe ...... Yes, there is a second scroll! ”

Zhan Xianjun nodded in agreement: "You're right, but where can I find a second one?" Time is running out...... This kind of thing always feels like it's something you can find but can't find it......"

He had just cleared up the misunderstanding of Xingrou from the mouth of the Phantom Moon Shadow, and while regretting that he had put Xingrou in such a dangerous situation with his own hands, he couldn't wait to immediately confide in her what he had missed her all these years. At the moment, he is trapped here, and he is at a loss. Zhan Xianjun, who has always been stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, is also a little depressed in his tone at the moment.

Gu Xiu comforted: "Xingrou girl Jiren has her own celestial phenomena, let's look for it again and see what clues there are in this cave, I always feel that the truth is not far from us." ”

The two of them picked up their spirits again and searched everywhere.
