Han Changdui looked up at the edge of the cliff in front of him, once again vigorously pulled the rope tied to his waist, tightened the cold and slippery chains, stepped on the rugged and uneven cliff, and continued to climb towards the middle of the cliff step by step.

Slowly, his whole body melted into the white mist, surrounded by tumbling clouds, deep or light white, the shallow places can reveal a faint sunlight and sparse greenery, and the deep places are a lonely and empty white.

In the clouds and mist, my eyes could not see far away, but could only clearly see the cliffs close at hand, the brown and yellow mountain rocks, the green grass leaves swaying between the cracks in the stones, and the black and shiny cold iron chains hanging in front of me.

He cautiously climbed down, scrutinizing the cliff in front of him.

The surrounding clouds cover the fog, and you can't see how deep this cliff is, although people have always been afraid of the unknown, but there is also a saying that the ignorant are fearless, for the unknown place that cannot be guessed, Han Changduquan should not be in danger.

He ignored the bottomless cliff under his feet, and only blindly looked at the strange rocky cliff in front of him.

The place is damp, the humidity is very heavy, the brownish and yellow stones on the cliff wall are soaked with moisture, and the vegetation is very lush, but perhaps because of the lack of sunlight all year round, most of the vegetation on the cliff wall is low and short, and the green is also light.

Han Changdui estimated the distance in his heart, and after climbing to a place of more than two feet without panic, he took out a stone from his waist and threw it against the cliff.

Sure enough, in an instant, there was a soft "click" sound under his feet.

Originally, the sound of the stone falling was very slight, but this place was deadly silent, there was no wind or birdsong, and even the grass and trees were motionless, and the sound of the stone falling was extremely clear.

Han Changdui was relieved and continued to slowly fall down.

He fell for less than a moment, and his feet were firmly on a jutting rock.

He stood on the rock, his hands still clutching the cold chains.

A vague breeze swept through the hem of his clothes.

He bent down to see where the wind was blowing.

It was a half-human-high pitch-black cavern, and a rotten and damp breath came to the face.

Han Changdui lit a fire fold and threw it into the cave, and the faint light of the fire fold illuminated the small cave.

Sure enough, as Du Feng said, this cave is not big, it can only accommodate three people to enter, and he can only barely stand up straight.

The entrance to the cave was marked with messy footprints, small footprints, all left by the same person, and seemed to be in harmony with Du Feng's feet.

Han Changdui completely relieved his heart, loosened the chain and went into the cave, untied the rope around his waist, and pulled it three times.

He sat at the mouth of the cave, and after a few moments the rope was pulled up quickly.

With a soft sound of "poof", Han Changdui lit a torch, and the bright light of the fire instantly spilled over the entire cave.

The mountains and rocks, the soil, grass and trees in the cave are all clearly visible and unobstructed.

The white mist shrouded the raised rock, rolling at the mouth of the cave, and from time to time it swooped into the cave, forming a natural barrier.

Standing on the cliff, you can't see everything here.

At the entrance of the cave, in addition to the messy footsteps, there were several piles of ashes left behind by the burning of the campfire, the black ashes covered with a thick layer of dust and dirt, revealing only a sporadic black, but the traces of someone who had briefly hid there were undoubtedly exposed.

A collar of broken straw mats in the depths of the cave was torn to shreds, and the ragged jackets full of oily ashes on the sides were also torn apart inch by inch, and the cotton wool was stained with water vapor, scattered and soaked in mud, and the dirt could not be seen in its original appearance.

A few leftover flax cakes were wrapped in mud and had dark green mold spots on them.

These traces are all new, and according to Du Feng, he is the first person to discover this place and come down, and these things are all things that he has searched carefully but found nothing.

Han Changdui held a torch and illuminated the stone wall.

The stones on the stone wall and the stones on the cliff wall are all brown and yellow in the same vein, and there are no traces of artificial excavation in the cave, which should be naturally formed.

He carefully patrolled the stone wall, and suddenly his eyes shrank, and the firelight rested on a stone.

The stone was carved with several crooked vertical lines, of different shades, thin and twisted, some longer, some shorter.

He was looking and heard the sound of rustling behind him, but when he turned his head, he saw Wang Xian falling on the rock with Du Feng on his back.

Wang Xian first tied the rope to a branch that slanted out horizontally next to the cave, and then untied Du Feng and spread it on the ground.

After doing all this, Wang Xian saw Han Changdui looking at the stone wall, walked over quickly, looked at the vertical lines, and asked thoughtfully, "My lord, what kind of code is this?" ”

Han Changwan shook his head thoughtfully: "If what I expected is right, this is not a code, it should be that eunuch hiding at this time to record time." ”

"Record time?" Wang Xian was stunned.

"Yes," Han Changdui turned his head to look at the undulating clouds at the entrance of the cave: "There is no time in the mountains, and people have no hope to stay, if you don't know the time, wouldn't you be crazy?" ”

Wang Xian pursed his lips, imagining what it would be like if he was trapped here, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, hurriedly shook his head, and turned his eyes to look at other stone walls, hoping to find some clues as soon as possible.

There is not much time left for them, if they get nothing this time, they will not have a chance to come in the future, they can only watch the treasure of Emperor Ming fall into the hands of others.

Wang Xian raised his hand and kept tapping on the stone wall, and the muffled thumping sound was clear and silent.

Han Changdui said lightly: "Du Feng is an extremely cautious and thoughtful person, he even tore open the cotton clothes left by the eunuch and looked for it, how could the stone wall not be knocked inch by inch, since he knocked and returned empty-handed, then we don't have to delay our efforts on the stone wall." ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Xian smiled wryly, withdrew his hand, and stood a little overwhelmed.

If you don't let you knock on the wall, will you have to dig the ground?

As he was thinking like this, he saw Han Changwan really squatting down, looking at the mud all over the ground with a serious face.

He was stunned, Shangguan squatted down, he stood like this again, it was really not like words.

With a "poof", he simply sat down in the mud.

It's tiring to stand, and it's even more tiring to squat.

Han Changdui ignored Wang Xian, took out a short blade from his leather boots, and poked it in the mud, the mud was not deep, but a shallow layer of sticky on the stone, I really don't know how the eunuch stayed.

However, in the moment of life and death, people can't take care of these things.

"Wang Xian, let's shovel up all this mud as soon as possible and throw it outside." Han Changdui gave an order, and he quickly shoveled up the mud in front of him and gathered it in one place.

Seeing that things were progressing, Wang Xian also came to the spirit, and he couldn't wait to see what was magical about the place where Emperor Ming's treasure was hidden.

The two of them moved quickly, and a cloud of mud passed through the clouds and mist, and continued to fall to the bottom of the cliff, and the mud in the cave was silently and quickly decreasing.

In a matter of moments, a rock-strewn and uneven ground was revealed, and the cracks in the brownish-yellow stones were filled with earth, and where the bonfire had burned, there were black traces of excesses on the brownish-yellow stones.

Han Changwan only glanced at the burned black stone, and there was a faint excitement in his slightly cold voice, and he said simply: "Wang Xian, dig." ”

Wang Xian followed Han Changdu's gaze, didn't say anything, and neatly inserted the short blade into the gap in the stone, and then carefully prying it along the gap.

The stones were deeply embedded in the earth, and they were concave and convex with each other, as if they had used a clever mortise and tenon technique to pry one of the gaps, but the other gap was stuck by several other stones, and it was really a feeling that there was nowhere to focus.

Wang Xian tried left and right a few times, and found that although these stones were loose, they could not be pry open smoothly, seeing that the time was getting less and less, he couldn't help but have a little bit of heart, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and fell into the cracks of the stones.

Han Changdui pondered for a moment, using his short blade to clean the dirt from the cracks in the stones, revealing a narrow gap, and then vigorously tapping the edges of several other stones.

The edges of the stone shattered into several pieces in an instant, and the powder filled the cracks that had just been cleaned.

Seeing this, Wang Xian hurriedly continued to clean up the gaps.

In this way, one man knocked on the stone, and one man cleared the gap, and soon pulled out a fist-sized crack in the stone.

Han Changdui and Wang Xian glanced at each other and plunged their short blades deep into the bottom of the stone.

It was only at this time that the two of them realized that there was nothing under the heavy stone.

The two couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Two short blades plunged into the stone, and with a strong pry upward, the earth cracked and loosened, and the stone, which was deeply embedded in the soil, warped with it.

The two of them struck while the iron was hot, and successively pried open several other black stones, revealing holes the size of a skull.

The hole was surrounded by hard boulders, and the depths of the hole were pitch black, and it was impossible to see how deep and big it was.

Han Changwan held the torch and took a closer look, but he still couldn't see it clearly.

The stones around the hole are too big, and if they are pried off one by one, I am afraid that before they are completely opened, Dou Weiqi's people will have already arrived.

Wang Xian rubbed his hands: "My lord, you shine brightly, and reach out and dig it out." ”

As he spoke, Wang Xian lay on the ground, his buttocks were pouted high, his head was almost buried in the hole, one hand reached into the hole, and he touched it carefully.

Han Changdui held the torch and tried to stick to the hole as closely as possible, and a large area of firelight spilled down, but it could only illuminate a corner, and the rest of the place was a dull shadow.

Wang Xian's hand rummaged in the dark through the hole, and the outside saw that the hole was only the size of a skull, but the inside was larger than the hole, and the stone was extremely sharp, scratching his hand full of wounds.
