Luo Lie actually thought the same way, and now it can be determined that Ye Qinghong chose Zhengjue Temple for a reason, the map given by Mu Sanshou clearly shows that the entrance to the secret treasure is in the backyard of Zhengjue Temple, and the next news also shows that Prince Rui Yixun is likely to have been here back then.

Mu Sanshou personally told him that Ye Qinghong had fallen into the hands of Prince Hong Zaixiang, but the condition in exchange for her was a Jizhou Ding. Although Luo Lie didn't fully believe Mu Sanshou's words, he couldn't disbelieve it, there was one thing he couldn't deny, he was still quite concerned about Ye Qinghong.

Luo Lie's instinct told him that this place was not far from the truth of the Vault.

The sparrow had completely recovered at this time, moved his waist and said, "Since we are here, we might as well go and have a look, but should we go upstream or downstream?"

Arnold suddenly remembered that when he was in the Nine Secret Realm, he had faced such a problem, when he proposed to go upstream, but he encountered the Red Flame Soul Chaser Bee, and almost lost his life, this time he was faced with almost the same choice, Arnold shook his head and decided to choose to remain silent.

The blind man said: "Downstream is the exit, let's naturally go up, and then say that people go to high places, and water flows to low places, do you say this is the reason?"

Arnold couldn't help laughing, the blind man looked confused, and snorted: "Laugh?

Among the people present, Luo Lie had experienced that incident with Arnold, so he was the only one who understood why Arnold was laughing, and Luo Lie said: "This river shouldn't be too long, let's go upstream first." ”

As soon as Luo Lie opened his mouth, he made a decision, and everyone agreed that he had irreplaceable prestige among his peers.

The blind man was at the front and was responsible for leading the way, Arnold was at the end of the line and was responsible for the break, Luo Lie followed closely behind the blind man, and the sparrow followed closely behind him. There was not a glimmer of light in the burrow, their eyes could not see anything at all, and everyone walked hand in hand by the river.

The blind man is the eyes of all of them, even in such a dark environment, the blind man can still clearly see the surrounding scenery, this river is obviously an artificial river, the place where they just fell into the water, about ten meters wide, on both sides with bluestone embankments, against the current, step by step, the craftsmen who built the Old Summer Palace in the past fully considered the use of the drop to increase the flow rate of water, in order to speed up the speed of flood discharge.

After about 100 meters of upward walking, there is a bluestone bridge across both sides of the river, and on the opposite side of the bluestone bridge, three different streams of water flow from three different directions of the ditch into the main road of the underground river.

The blind man took a few people to walk up to the bluestone bridge, Luo Lie was right, the river is really not long, the bluestone bridge is the beginning of the upstream, and then go up, there are three different ditches, and the three ditches must lead to different directions.

Luo Lie lit the lighter, and observed the surrounding terrain by the light of the lighter, if he continued to go up, he had to choose one of the three ditches, but the next road began to become steep and difficult to walk, and they were walking in the dark, and they must face many difficulties.

Arnold habitually scratched his head and said, "It seems that it is the end, let's go back." ”

The sparrow took out his compass and looked at it, thinking for a moment and pointing to the ditch in front of the left: "Go there." ”

Several people looked at the sparrow curiously, wondering why she had made such a decision.

Sparrow said: "Zhengjue Temple is located in the southeast of the Old Summer Palace, we should be under the Zhengjue Temple, and the ditch in front of the left points to the northwest of the Zhengjue Temple, that is, to the center of the Old Summer Palace. ”

Luo Lie nodded, Sparrow's decision is not unreasonable, in fact, he has already come to this place, he might as well continue to walk a few more steps, and he is not willing to give up halfway like this.

The blind man was still in charge of leading the way ahead, along the narrow and steep berm beside the ditch, reminding several men to watch their feet lest they stumble into the ditch, which was so strong that if they fell into it, they would be swept along the current into the river where they had come.

Going further, seeing a glimmer of light in front of them, the eyes of Luo Hunt and several people finally had some use, and when they got closer to the front, they found that there were round white objects the size of bowls inlaid on the wall, that is, they glowed, the sparrow didn't know what material this was, and reached out and touched it with some curiosity, and with the touch of her fingertips, she judged that this glowing object was actually a bone, and her heart couldn't help but tremble, and an inexplicable panic rose from the bottom of her heart.

Arnold also found out what this white object was, took a closer look, and said in shock: "Skull, this wall is inlaid with a skull!" It turned out that this white round object was all human skulls, neatly arranged and inlaid in the wall.

The sparrow was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand, and then grabbed Luo Lie's arm tightly, Luo Lie said calmly: "The least dangerous thing in this world is the dead, don't be afraid, let's keep walking." ”

The blind man said, "Who is so vicious that he actually inlaid so many people's skulls here?"

Luo Lie sighed and said, "Maybe it's the craftsman who built the garden back then." "Behind the glitz and glitz are often deep ugliness and sinisterness, when the Qing Dynasty royal family enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Old Summer Palace above, they would not have thought that there were so many souls hidden in the dark underground waterways under the Old Summer Palace.

The skulls were arranged in a neat order, and the blind man counted them at first, and there were at least two hundred, and each skull was engraved with a name, and he could not help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, if more than two hundred unjust souls suddenly poured out of this cave, the four of them alone would probably not be able to cope with it.

After finally passing through this section of skull wall, three two-meter-diameter floodgates arranged side by side at a distance of about 10 meters converged, and the water in the ditch came from the floodwater. However, there is no water flow in the middle outlet, but the two outfalls on both sides have a turbulent current.

The blind man went to the drained floodport and looked at it, and there was not even a single stain in it, and he told his companions about this discovery, and after several people discussed it, they decided to enter the waterless floodport, and in fact they had no other choice, and could not have gone against the flood to enter the other two outlets.

I didn't go too far to find that the dead branches on the ground, when I touched it, they turned into debris and fell, which showed that it had existed for a long time, and the blind man inhaled the musty air, and was choked and coughed, and the pipe was deep, and the same cough was heard in the distance.

Arnold heard it in his heart, and said in a low voice: "There seems to be someone in the distance." As soon as he opened his mouth, there was also an echo, and he only understood what was going on, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

About twenty meters inside, there were horizontal and vertical bones on the ground, and these bones were glowing with a little phosphorescence, and Luo Hunter and a few people could also see the outline through the faint light. Because of the experience of the skull wall just now, I have been mentally prepared, so there is no shocking feeling when I see the bones everywhere.

The blind man saw more clearly, and found that all the bones had a common feature, all the bones had lost their heads, and it was not difficult to deduce that the skulls of the dead were all embedded in the wall that he had just passed, and that there should be as many bones as there were skulls.

Although several people dodged carefully, Arnold still accidentally stepped on a skeleton, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the silence, and several people were startled, Arnold hurriedly raised his foot, but felt that his right foot was grabbed by someone, and Arnold screamed in fright: "Ghost!"

The blind man turned to look and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Arnold stepped on the chest of a skeleton, stepped on the ribs, and the big foot fell into the ribcage of the skeleton, and couldn't pull it out for a while, so he had the illusion of being grabbed by the soles of his feet.

Luo Lie lit the lighter, and Arnold saw the situation under his feet, and moved the soles of his feet in embarrassment, pulling his feet out of the gaps in the bones.

By the light of the lighter, the sparrow looked around, but saw that the bones in front of him were all over the ground, spreading all the way, and I don't know where the end was, Fang secretly sighed in his heart, how many people died in this flood pipe? Who was so ruthless and killed so many craftsmen?

The blind man found that many bones were inserted with weapons, that is, these people had experienced a mutual killing before they died, he pulled out a waist knife from a skeleton, and the place near the back of the knife was engraved with the date of casting, according to the date above, it was made in the Jiawu period, and he told Luo Lie about his discovery.

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, from the casting time of the weapon, it was estimated that these deceased should have entered the underground waterways of the Old Summer Palace after the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, which coincided with the time when Prince Rui Yixun was responsible for the construction of the Old Summer Palace, and Ye Qinghong had previously said that Prince Rui Yixun found a secret under the Old Summer Palace and ordered Liu Tonghei to keep this secret. The best way to keep the secret is to kill people and kill people, and these bones are likely to be the personal guards of Prince Rui back then.

It's just a little puzzling, why cut off their heads and embed their skulls in the wall to kill them, who is so cruel and so boring? The blind man sighed as he hung this waist knife around his waist, this knife has a good steel edge, and it should be able to sell for a good price if you take it out.

The sparrow was a little scared in her heart, and subconsciously grabbed Luo Lie's arm, and Luo Lie gently patted the back of her hand to express comfort.

In fact, everyone has the same idea in their hearts, since they have come here, they can't give up halfway. Walking along the tired white bones for about more than 100 meters, the front reached the end, the floodway was blocked by sand and stones, Luo Lie stretched out his hand and patted the wall, judging from the feedback from the wall, it was extremely solid and heavy. Of the three flood channels, only this one has no water flow, and the reason is that this channel should be artificially filled.

Arnold untied his leather bag, which contained more than a dozen grenades, and he suggested, "You can blow this wall open." ”

The blind man nodded, and he and the Golden Retriever thought of one thing about it.

Sparrow said: "No, detonating here is likely to cause the tunnel to collapse, in case that happens, a few of us will be buried alive." ”
