Chapter 237 [Old Slippery Head] (I)

I can't help but think of what Song Changjin said before, Song Changjin has been lurking in Xinmanying for many years, under the guise of the immortal residence, and its real purpose is to excavate the ancient Xixia Palace.

There is a large amount of stagnant water at the bottom of the cave, although it coincides with the rain in the sky, but this stagnant water should have nothing to do with this rainfall, they didn't spend much effort to find a hole above the water surface, from the size and regulation, the hole should be a part of the city gate, the city gate is arched, Luo Lie asked Yan Tianxin to look out for him, he directly picked it into the water, using the light of the watch to illuminate the water, he swam away from the city gate for some distance, from here you can see the original appearance of the city gate more clearly, the city gate is open, there is a structure similar to a suspension bridge below him, it is not difficult to speculate that there is a moat below his location in the pastThis moat surrounds the ancient city, and the moat and the ancient city block the desert wind and sand while also assuming the role of blocking foreign enemies.

There were a lot of white bones scattered all over the water, such a number of white bones were concentrated in front of the city gate, and a lot of weapons could be seen near the white bones, Luo Hunt deduced that there had been a large-scale war here.

After surfacing, Luo Lie briefly told Yan Tianxin about the underwater scene, and the two decided to enter through the city gate to see if there were any other discoveries inside.

After the two entered the water, they swam towards the city gate, entered from the open city gate, and saw the land about fifty meters before swimming into the city gate, the terrain was the lowest at the city gate, and then gradually went up, Luo Lie went ashore first and then stretched out his hand to drag Yan Tianxin up.

Yan Tianxin took out the flashlight from the waterproof leather bag, under their feet is a smooth granite pavement, the street is very wide, even wider than the north and south streets of Xinmanying, this is also a north-south road, it should be the main street of this underground ancient city, but this street did not last long, the front was filled with yellow sand and soil, Yan Tianxin found a hole in the soil layer, this hole seems a little abrupt, there are many mounds not far from the hole, the hole is obviously excavated by manpower.

Yan Tianxin guessed that this was a thief hole, and she whispered: "That uncle of yours must know this place, maybe this thief hole was dug by him." ”

Luo Lie's face showed a helpless smile, Song Changjin is really cunning, it is no accident that he opened a tobacco house in Xinmanying, it is to use the smoke house to cover up his main purpose, Luo Lie said: "Nine times out of ten." ”

Yan Tianxin said: "This place used to be the ancient capital of Western Xia in the past, and he may have been digging up the treasures in the palace. ”

Luo Lie said: "It seems that he should have succeeded." He bowed down and picked up something bright yellow from the ground, but it was a vivid gold leaf. made a corresponding inference in his heart, Song Changjin should have found the palace buried underground, or he may have found the palace treasure house, the tunnel leading to Lao Yingpan before was actually a passage he dug in order to transport the treasure he found, Song Changjin hid deep enough, and did not say a word about the underground imperial city from beginning to end, if it wasn't for this explosion that happened to blow up below, this secret was still hidden underground.

Yan Tianxin irradiated the soil cave with a flashlight, and looked through the light, and found that the soil cave was wide enough to accommodate a person to pass through freely, so she took the lead in entering the earth cave.

Luo Lie also followed her back and climbed in, crawling in the thief cave for about three meters, the hole became wide, for two people to walk side by side upright, scattered gold leaves can be seen on the ground from time to time, walked forward for about a mile distance, a wall appeared in front, the wall was made of white marble, and at a distance of about one meter from the ground, several marble stones were extracted, revealing a hole that could be accessed.

Luo Lie said: "This may be the palace wall." ”

Yan Tianxin said: "It's not like!" looked inside by the light of the flashlight, there was a round hole inside, and when he walked into it, he found that they were already in a pipe, and the joints of the pipe would be seen every other distance, and from the structural point of view, it was more like walking into an underground drainage pipe.

Yan Tianxin praised: "Your uncle is very powerful, he was able to find the underground drainage pipe of the Xixia Palace." ”

Luo Lie also agreed, the vicissitudes of life, the stars have changed, the former Xixia royal city has been buried by yellow sand and mud, and the buildings on the surface are basically in the loess, but the part of the underground building should not be damaged. For example, the underground pipeline they are in now, along this pipeline, as long as you pay close attention to the scattered things in the pipe, it is not difficult to find the footprints of the former poachers.

The detector in Luo Hunter's hand reflected their trajectory on the screen of their watch, and after they had been in it for more than ten minutes, they found a thief hole above their heads.

Luo Lie asked Yan Tianxin to step on his shoulders and climb up, Yan Tianxin used the two of them to tie the knot and hang down, pulling Luo Lie up, they were already in the interior of a certain palace in the Xixia Palace. The room was large, and there were many pockets in it, and the two of them examined the sacks separately, and they were full of gold and silver jewels, which the thieves had not yet had time to transport.

Luo Lie even suspected that Song Changjin was doing the excavation work alone, or that he had killed the other assistants after completing the work here, he should not have considered that the situation in Xinmanying would change so drastically, so there were still too many treasures that had not had time to be transported from here.

Luo Lie sniffed, he smelled a smell of tobacco in the air, although the smell was not strong, but it still could not escape his old smoker's sense of smell. Luo Lie lowered his body, and it didn't take long to find a cigarette butt on the ground, Yan Tianxin blinked, Luo Lie's discovery proved that this thief hole was artificially excavated, but why did there still have a faint smell of tobacco, is it because of the lack of underground air circulation?

Luo Lie said in a low voice: "He should still be inside." ”

Yan Tianxin was stunned, and immediately understood that what Luo Lie said was Song Changjin, Song Changjin chose to break up with them after leaving the Heavenly Temple and went north alone. Instead of leaving, he went around in circles and returned to the new camp from the secret passage. But it's not surprising to think about it, there are still so many treasures here that have not been transported by him, how can he be willing?

Luo Lie said: "It seems that we have to wait for the rabbit for a while." "Instead of moving forward blindly, it is better to wait for the rabbit, judging by what he sees in front of him, it won't take long for Song Changjin to come here, and his ultimate goal is to carry the most valuable treasure here.

Yan Tianxin whispered, "How many people do you think he will have?"

Luo Lie stretched out a finger, Yan Tianxin looked at him suspiciously, in her opinion, Song Changjin alone should not be able to accomplish so much work. Luo Lie saw her doubts and said in a low voice, "Why don't we make a bet." ”

Yan Tianxin nodded and said, "What's the bet?"

Luo Lie's gaze fell on her delicate cherry lips, Yan Tian's pretty face was slightly hot, and he already understood in his heart what he wanted to bet on, and he was about to ask what if Luo Lie lost? There was already a dinging sound outside.

Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin hurriedly extinguished the lights, and it didn't take long to see a fire coming in from outside the door, but they saw a figure pushing a cart walking in from the door, with a flagpole on the cart, and a lantern hanging on the flagpole, as the vehicle moved, the lantern was swinging back and forth, and the face of the person with the cart was flickering brightly and darkly.

Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin looked at each other in the dark, but that person was Tan Zicong! Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin glanced at each other in the dark, although they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but they both knew that the other party must be extremely surprised, even if they knocked their heads, they couldn't figure out why Tan Zicong appeared here?

Tan Zicong parked the car, and then moved the car full of sacks of gold, silver and jewelry. At this time, another small cart arrived, and this time the cart was Song Changjin.

Yan Tianxin quietly shook Luo Lie's arm in the dark, meaning to tell him that he had lost. Luo Lie smiled slightly, and also figured out why Tan Zicong came here, it must have been Tan Zicong who met Song Changjin when he left, and Song Chang King Kong was so short of manpower, so he found a way to deceive Tan Zicong.

Tan Zicong complained bitterly: "I'm tired to death, don't you want to empty all the things inside?"

Song Changjin scolded: "What a waste, Lao Tzu asked you to come over to help, but I didn't let you be the eldest young master." ”

Tan Zicong was quite jealous of Song Changjin, sighed and said: "Master Song, money is something outside the body, life does not bring it to death, we can't spend these things in a few lifetimes, it's enough!"

Song Changjin snorted coldly and said: "You know what a fart! God sent the gold and silver treasures to you to give you a chance, you don't want to go against God's will, you will be punished by God, I knew that you are such a straw bag, Lao Tzu might as well call Luo Hunt together, why give you the opportunity to make a fortune?"

There was a burst of crisp applause in the darkness, this applause sounded like a bolt from the blue to Song Changjin and Tan Zicong, the two hurriedly went to get their weapons, but they heard Luo Lie's clear voice and said: "Third uncle, third uncle, you are not righteous, you don't call me for such a good thing, you actually call an outsider." ”

Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin both walked out of the shadows, and Yan Tianxin aimed at the two of them with two guns in his hands.

Song Changjin was caught by Luo Hunt, and he didn't show the slightest embarrassment, the thickness of his old face was already able to catch up with the corner of the city wall.
