Walking across the arch bridge, we didn't follow the route we came in at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause the monk said that he knew that there was a row nearby that could bypass Liu Ling's underground palace. I said in my heart that we didn't know there was such a road when we had a plan in our hands, how did he know about it?

The monk held a torch and led us downstream along the underground river. I didn't go far before I saw an impact opening on the river bank in front of me. The monk said that entering from here is the outermost drainage channel of Liu Ling's underground palace, and if you walk along the channel, you can find a mine road that leads directly to the outside world.

I wondered in my heart, so I asked him how do you know this way?

The monk said, "He is different from us." The purpose of his visit this time is very clear, that is, to go straight to the tomb of the Lu family below. As for the Liu Ling Underground Palace next to him, he didn't plan to go in, so he found a shortcut at the beginning, directly bypassed the Liu Ling Underground Palace, and then went down to the underground river.

Cassia was very curious about the monk's origin, but after asking a few questions, the monk did not answer positively. In his words, he is a monk who is just bored in one place, and occasionally comes out to break his vows.

Cassia said on the side, he has seen a lot of broken vows, what kind of hatred, lust, alcohol, and killing. But this is the first time he has seen the monk who came out to dig people's ancestral graves.

The monk seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't pay attention to Cassia's words. We had a short rest on the riverbank, and the monk said that he had not only gained nothing from this fight, but had almost lost his life, and had lost his life. I said you can't think like that, people have to take a long-term view. Anyway, the route to the tomb of the gods has been figured out, and the next time I come, I will bring more things out and it will be over.

The monk squatted by the river, washed his face, looked at the dark river, and sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have a chance." Think about it, if the black shadow on the Chengtian Platform was really Liu An, then he had waited at least three hundred years for the appearance of the entrance to the Divine Tomb. Three hundred years, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in this life. ”

He threw a stone into the water in boredom and continued, "I shouldn't have gone back then. If I had followed that guy and walked in, I might be rolling on the Golden Mountain by now. ”

"And then? Like a miser, starving to death inside? No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it. ”

The monk was very dissatisfied with my statement, and said that since the guards dared to enter, he must be sure that he would be able to come out.

I took his words and said, "Just because he can come out doesn't mean you can come out too." If you had continued to go inside, you would have gone in completely. But don't forget, millennials are still in there. Do you think those things will let you out generously? ”

At this point, the monk fell silent. As for the purpose of the guards entering the tomb of the gods, I don't think it will be as obscene as the monk said. He didn't show much interest in anything along the way, and I think there must be something special in the tomb that he had to go. As Master said at the time, he didn't have a choice.

After the break, we followed the monk through the impact port, and we didn't go far, which was the drainage channel that the monk said. The canal is very shabby, and there are still many stones and tools left behind in it. Several people quickly crossed the channel and entered the mine entrance where the monk went down to the underground palace at that time.

Finally, half an hour later, we saw the light of day again. By this time, it was close to dawn outside, and the distance of the mountain was already white. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet fully light, we avoided the guards and descended the trail. The four people were in rags, like fugitives, and ran into the Yunnan Inn at the foot of the mountain in embarrassment.

The innkeepers were not surprised, probably thinking that we were miners fresh out of the shaft. When we arrived at the inn, the monk said goodbye to us.

Saying goodbye to the monk, we took a short break in the inn. Before leaving, Cassia placed the woman he brought out of the underground palace in the inn. Before she woke up, the three of us continued to travel south, and finally arrived at Yujie Temple before dawn.

When I came back, I fell seriously ill and lived in nightmares for several days. During that time, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the fourth camel covered in blood, standing in the middle of a group of figures to greet me. In order to take care of me, Cassia simply closed the shop. And since Master came back, he has become very mysterious. During the time I was recuperating, I never saw Master, and Cassia was busy working alone inside and out.

I asked Cassia before, and Cassia only said that he didn't know very well. On the night of our descent from the mountain, Master went out with the box that he had brought out of the tomb. Before leaving, the master didn't explain anything, and Cassia didn't ask much. Who knew that the master had left and had not come back until now.

During my recuperation, Liu Wanshan and his buddy Ah Gao from Qishiju came once. When Cassia asked about his business, Liu Wanshan smiled again and again, thanks to our help, the matter has been clarified, and the mine will restart in the next few days. However, due to the absence of the master, Liu Wanshan did not stay for long, drank a cup of tea, and took his buddy to leave.

Sending Liu Wanshan away, I was thinking. Why did he spend his blood to protect the mine in the first place, but now that he thinks about it, it must have something to do with that kind of ginseng jade. Liu Wanshan is a businessman, and he must know the value of ginseng jade better than me. As for the big butler Zhang, his target may be the ancient tomb. Perhaps they had already negotiated some kind of agreement long before, and they took advantage of this opportunity to seek their own benefits.

I still don't understand the purpose of Master's entry into the dungeon, but it is obvious that Master will indeed make this trip for some reason. I said in my heart that when Master came back, I had to find a time to ask about it, and I had almost no clue about the events of those few days.

One of the things that I couldn't understand the most was the guard. From his appearance, to his final disappearance alone at the entrance of the Tomb of the Gods. There are so many doubts about him that I don't understand. And what is in the box he gave to Master? What is the relationship between him and Master?

Thinking about it like this, all the way over, it seems that there are only two people, Cassia and me, like headless flies, who have walked through the ghost gate in a daze.

In the following half month, my life began to return to normal, dull and uninteresting. The experience in Dushan was already a topic that Cassia and I would definitely talk about after dinner, and we discussed many doubts that we didn't find at the time. For example, some speculations about the fourth camel, through the previous conversation with Liu Wanshan, we learned that the fourth camel is indeed a miner in Dushan, and he also has a son, who disappeared with the fourth camel and others some time ago.

In addition, Liu Wanshan once told us that some time ago, when his people were cleaning under the mine, they found a hidden stone path. This stone road is dug very strangely, the whole stone road is like a "concave" shape, the low concave part of the stone road has been soaked with water, and the most incredible thing is that along this stone road, you can go directly to the back room of Liu Ling's underground palace!

Listening to Liu Wanshan's description, I immediately thought of the waterway that allowed me and Cassia to escape, and the freshwater toad that drove me to a dead end. Liu Wanshan speculated that the stone road should have been secretly excavated by the camel Lao Siyi cadres a few years ago. In this way, it is obvious that the fourth camel knew a long time ago that there was an underground Xuangong hidden under the mine in Dushan. He had been rushing to the dungeon from the beginning.

In this way, when we met the fourth child on the bridge at that time, what he said was completely wrong. His entry into the dungeon was not an accident at all, but had been planned for a long time.

And the most puzzling thing for me is the cause of death of the fourth camel, which has been bothering me for a long time. I still can't understand why the fourth child suddenly disappeared at that time, and his body suddenly appeared on the ice again, without any warning.

Cassia speculated that it wasn't the fourth child we met on the bridge at all, but something unclean. The real fourth child may have died in the "waterless pool" long ago.

I was very skeptical of his speculation, and Cassia said, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it first, I dare to say so, there must be evidence of mine." ”

I didn't speak, waiting for Cassia to continue.

"Xiaoshan, think about it. When we were approaching the corpse gathering place, we encountered that team of black shadows, what was the reaction of the fourth child? ”

I remember this very well, but I didn't understand what Cassia meant, so I nodded and motioned for Cassia to continue.

"At that time, you, me, and Master, the three of us were fine, but the fourth child reacted abnormally and even fainted. Have you ever thought that those things didn't happen to pass by, they were just looking for the fourth. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said that you are too one-sided, and the fourth child reacted abnormally at the time, maybe it was just because he knew what kind of monsters those were, so he behaved a little abnormally. And it's all your own speculation.

Cassia waved his hand and said, "Then when we were in the labyrinth, when the fourth child saw the night pearl, do you remember what he said?" ”

I closed my eyes and tried to remember, but I only had a general impression in my mind, and I couldn't remember what the fourth child said at that time.

He said that there was a corpse incense on the beads, which would attract unclean things. Have you ever thought that the fourth child may not be following the mark at all, he was led over? ”

"Lead over?"

I was stunned for a moment, before I understood what he meant in the first sentence, I was already covered in a cold sweat in the second sentence.

"Are you saying that it wasn't someone else who was lured by that kind of corpse incense, but the fourth child himself?"

Cassia nodded, "Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but it wasn't until he encountered those things when he approached the corpse gathering place that he realized that he was dead." ”

I couldn't accept it, even though I knew it was just Cassia speculation, but my mind had already begun to subconsciously agree with Cassia Statement. The various abnormal behaviors of the previous fourth child, under this premise, gradually make sense.
