Wu Zhiyuan was caught off guard, startled by the white face behind him, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell into the pool with a "plop".

The moment he fell into the water, Wu Zhiyuan secretly shouted badly, he didn't know the nature of water, if this pool was very deep, I was afraid that he would die here. But when he stepped on the real thing under his feet, he was overjoyed, straightened up, and stood up from the water, it turned out that the pool was not deep, and the water in it was just waist-high.

After stepping on his feet, Wu Zhiyuan first turned to look at the stone path by the pool, but at a glance, the stone path he was where he was just now was empty, and there was no half figure around.

"Is there a ghost in this cave?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, and suddenly, he remembered the situation when he was in the main tomb of the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, there was also a pool in the main tomb of the imperial tomb, and there was a snapping turtle lurking in the pool.

Thinking of this, a fragment flashed in Wu Zhiyuan's mind again, last night in the inn, Ju'er said that he saw a person with a pale face sitting in the bed, at that time he only thought it was Ju'er's hallucination, and didn't believe her words, and now it seems that what Ju'er said is not out of nowhere.

Who is that white face? How can you follow yourself all the time? Could it be that he has been possessed by a demon and does not know it? A series of questions surfaced in Wu Zhiyuan's mind, but none of them could be answered.

Thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan only felt a chill behind him, and he subconsciously turned his head suddenly, and found that behind him was a huge pool, and the water in the pool caused ripples because of his activities.

There was a deathly silence in the stone cave, and Wu Zhiyuan could only hear the sound of a person's breathing, and the sound of breathing came from himself.

After a moment of silence, there was nothing abnormal in the stone cave, Wu Zhiyuan kept staring at his shadow in the water, and did not find the mysterious white face behind him. He didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't think about it anymore, pinched his forehead with his hand, and walked towards the pool.

As soon as he took a step in the water, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that there seemed to be something abnormal under his feet, and the places where his feet were stepping on seemed to be full of stones, he hesitated slightly, bent down and reached out to touch the bottom of the water, and grabbed a fist-sized hard object as soon as he reached out, and looked at it from the bottom, Wu Zhiyuan blinked in disbelief.

What he was holding in his hand was actually a fist-sized gold ingot! The gold ingots fell into the water at some point, but their luster was very bright, and they shimmered with an alluring golden light under the light of the oil lamp.

Wu Zhiyuan is not greedy for money, but at this time, when he saw such a big gold ingot, he still couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and he was about to go ashore when he moved his feet underwater, and suddenly felt that the places where his feet passed were all stone-like things, and he even stood a little unsteady when he stepped on it.

"Could it be that this underwater is full of gold ingots?" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly had a thought in his heart, in order to verify his guess, he threw the gold ingot in his hand far away to the center of the pool, stretched out his hand and touched it under his feet, and after getting out of the water, he actually held a gold ingot in his hand!

Wu Zhiyuan repeated his old tricks, and kept touching underwater a few times, and even changed a few positions, but every time he touched out either gold ingots or silver ingots, the size of which was like an adult's fist, which was really unseen in Wu Zhiyuan's life.

"It turns out that all the gold and silver ingots under this pool are there!" Wu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, this pool is huge, and the number of ingots in it can be imagined.

Climbing ashore from the pool, Wu Zhiyuan sat on the stone path and twisted the water on his clothes, and at the same time thought in his heart, this pool was built in a cave It is already very strange, and there are gold and silver ingots hidden at the bottom of the pool, so it seems that this pool should be just a cover, and collecting gold and silver is its real purpose.

Wu Zhiyuan remembered what Adjutant Wang said, he said that he received news this morning that there were Qing soldiers at the foot of Baima Mountain, and according to this situation, this cave must have something to do with Li Lanru, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and only he could hoard such a large amount of wealth.

What is Li Lanru's intention to secretly hoard so much wealth here? Wu Zhiyuan suddenly thought of the two spears he found when he entered the cave, in fact, he had already vaguely guessed that the appearance of the cold weapon that had been eliminated in the cave was very likely to be related to the Manchu remnants, and now it seems that this speculation is basically true.

In other words, Li Lanru may have looted these riches because of the past in the palace, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, so he used this trick to hoard these riches here, and later colluded with Nantianying, Nantianying arranged corpses for him to guard this cave. As for the spears left in the cave, it may be because the remnants of the Qing soldiers used this place as a temporary refuge, so Adjutant Wang received the news that there were Qing soldiers in the vicinity.

In this way, a qiē mystery can be explained.

It's just a little unclear, since Adjutant Wang said that he received news that there were Qing soldiers at the foot of White Horse Mountain, why didn't he see the shadow of Qing soldiers in this cave? Wu Zhiyuan thought about it, and suddenly a thought crossed his mind like lightning, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly picked up the oil lamp on the big stone in the corner of the stone cave and walked out of the stone cave.

Wu Zhiyuan returned the same way with an oil lamp in his hand, he had a bad premonition, this cave is the hiding place of the Qing soldiers, it can be basically determined, but it is not possible to determine the number of Qing soldiers who are hiding again, if the number is large, it means that Li Lanru is very likely to attack the idea of Jinan City, this is a long-brewing conspiracy.

Returning all the way along the branch cave, Wu Zhiyuan quickly returned to the entrance of the three-pronged cave, and did not see the figure of Hua Gu and Manniu, presumably the two of them were still in the branch cave and did not come out.

While thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan heard footsteps coming from the branch hole in the middle, and as the footsteps inside got closer and closer, the sound became clearer and clearer, and he was stunned: "Why are there two people's footsteps inside?" Is it because of the echo? ”

Wu Zhiyuan walked to the entrance of the branch cave and listened carefully, the sound was indeed the footsteps of two people, and it was definitely not caused by the echo, indicating that there were two people coming out of the middle branch hole now!

How could there be two people? Wu Zhiyuan clearly remembered that the three of them chose different branch holes to enter, he and Manniu chose two branch holes at both ends, and Hua Gu walked into the middle branch hole, and now there are two people coming out of it, which shows that Hua Gu is very likely to have encountered an accident!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan clenched the wooden sword in his hand, dodged to the edge of the hole in the middle, and approached the stone wall, planning to make a move when the two people in the cave came out to see the situation and strike first!

Wu Zhiyuan's shoulders leaned to the side hard, and suddenly felt the place where his shoulders touched shook slightly, and at the same time, countless dust fell on his face on the top of his head. He subconsciously turned his head to see that the intersection of the three branch holes supported a thick wooden pillar, and it was expected that the branch hole was dug at the beginning, and the mountain was not strong enough, so a wooden pillar was added to the top of the cave to prevent it from collapsing.

Obviously, this wooden pillar cannot be moved, once the wooden pillar is broken, the cave will be in danger of collapsing, thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan gently leaned to the side.

At this moment, the footsteps in the branch cave were already close in front of him, Wu Zhiyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the two people inside immediately walked out.
