I don't know how much financial resources this Empress Dowager Zhao Ji has, but what appears in front of us is a huge tree made of pure gold. Under the illumination of the lights that have not been extinguished at all, a dazzling golden light is reflected.

Looking up, the whole tree is hundreds of meters high, and the top is not visible at all, perhaps because of the darkness around it.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. More treasures are hidden in bottomless holes. The cave is naturally formed, the rock walls are almost perpendicular to the ground, and the depth is up to 100 meters, and the volume of such a cave is considerable, and to fill such a cave with gold, silver and jewels is quite enormous, and its wealth is astronomical.

"Zhao Ji's tomb is a small thing compared to this."

"It's just like that in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in Lishan."

"This Zhao Ji is really good to Yingzheng, he killed his own son, but he built such an underground palace for him, I'm afraid the treasures here can't be counted, right?" I sighed.

Zhang Liqun walked to the front of the golden tree, gently stroked the trunk of the golden tree with his hand, and said, "Finally I found it, hehe......" He laughed as he spoke.

I reminded Zhang Liqun: "Don't laugh so loudly, be careful to trigger the mechanism." ”

"I know this, finding the Golden Tree won't be too far away from the real secret, let's go up." After speaking, Zhang Liqun grabbed a fork on the trunk like a baboon, and climbed up along the protruding branches, without looking drooping and old.

Hu Bing and I glanced at each other, shook our heads, and had no other way to go out, so I had to follow Zhang Liqun towards the tree. I'm not in the mood to look at a tree made of pure gold, and now my mind is full of how to find the ultimate secret.

When I climbed more than ten meters high, Zhao Zhen, who was crawling under me, suddenly pulled my trouser leg and said softly: "What sound are you listening to below?" ”

I glanced at Zhao Zhen, then stretched out my head and glanced down, and suddenly found that I didn't know when there were a lot of red highlights underneath, and when I saw these red highlights, I immediately became vigilant.

"Be careful, everyone!"

However, the red dots were fast, catching up with us in less than half a minute, and flying upwards without pause.

Zhao Zhen grabbed a red dot with his hand, and then stretched it out in front of me for me to take a look. I took the red dot handed over by Zhao Zhen, turned on the small flashlight and took a look at the little red dot, and after seeing the appearance of the thing, I exhaled softly and said, "It's okay, it's just some small worms." Listening to my words, Zhao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liqun above saw that we had not moved for a long time behind us, and shouted at us: "What are you all talking about below, don't climb quickly, it's really embarrassing for me to climb as fast as an old man." After saying that, he raised his head and continued to climb him.

Zhao Zhen and I glanced at Zhang Liqun curiously, and thought at the same time: Didn't Zhang Liqun see those little insects that glow red?

Just as I was about to ask him, suddenly Zhang Liqun screamed from above. said that Zhang Liqun climbed on top of me, in fact, the distance is not very high, as long as you move a few times, you can get to his side, after all, we are old, we have been following behind to take care of him.

But when I was about to arrive at Zhang Liqun's side, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of things suddenly around him, and Zhang Liqun was also here

The crowd surrounded them in the middle, and pulled out their pistols and confronted them.

I wanted to rush over and pull Zhang Liqun back while they were confronted, but those unknown things were one step faster than me, and a black shadow quickly swept towards Zhang Lao, and at the same time it jumped up, the gun in Zhang Liqun's hand also rang out, only to hear a "snap", the black shadow was shot out and then fell freely, and soon fell in front of me.

I turned on the small flashlight and looked at the thing, and it turned out to be an ordinary baboon, and the presence of a baboon here meant something. That is, we are not far from the exit, that is, we can get out of the tomb and get outside to breathe fresh air. But why did these baboons attack Zhang Liqun? That's the first question on my mind.

Just as I was thinking about it, the body of a baboon fell from it, hanging from a branch next to me. I looked up at Zhang Liqun's location and saw that there were more and more baboons. I couldn't hesitate any longer, I climbed up to Zhang Liqun's side and said, "I can't waste time with these baboons, I find that there are more and more of them, which is very bad for us, let's avoid them and go from the other side." ”

Zhang Liqun glanced back at me, nodded, and began to climb down with me. But the baboons didn't seem to give up on Zhang Liqun, and as we climbed down, they began to move downward.

We don't move, and they don't move.

Looking at those baboons, I muttered a little to myself, what do they want to do, what do we still want to do after eating. Just when I was depressed, Zhao Zhen called me below, and those baboons heard Zhao Zhen's voice, and quickly jumped down towards Zhao Zhen's position.

Looking at the baboons that jumped down, I hurriedly reminded Zhao Zhen loudly: "Zhao Zhen be careful, there are a few baboons running towards you, be careful of those baboons." ”

Zhao Zhen's response immediately came from below, saying, "I know, a few baboons can't help me." But two bodies have been found, so hurry up and take a look. ”

"What, corpses? How can there be corpses here? I wondered.

Zhang Liqun pulled me, and then the two slowly retreated to Zhao Zhen's side, and then looked in the direction Zhao Zhen pointed, and sure enough, they found two corpses hanging on tree branches.

Looking at the corpse hanging from a tree branch not far away, I had some doubts. Turning my head, I said to Zhang Liqun and Zhao Zhen, "You two wait for me, I'll go over and see the two corpses." ”

Zhao Zhen asked me puzzled: "What do the two corpses look at, maybe they were left behind by the inverted bucket in ancient times." Zhang Liqun nodded, agreeing with Zhao Zhen's statement.

"Although it is a corpse from ancient times, these two people died strangely, and besides, haven't you thought about it, we took a lot of effort to find this place, how can it be that someone has been here before us?" I asked, pointing to the two bodies hanging from the branches.

Zhao Zhen turned on the miner's lamp and looked at the two corpses carefully, and said, "Don't say it, it's really strange." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll go over and take a look at the two corpses first, you show me these baboons, don't let them come and make trouble." After I finished instructing Zhao Zhen and Zhang Liqun, I crawled towards the two corpses.

Zhang Liqun and Zhao Zhen were quite reliable, when I arrived at the two corpses safely, none of the baboons in the group came to make trouble, and one or two were also scared back by Zhao Zhen with the knife in his hand.

Looking at the clothes on the two corpses, it should be the costume of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be judged that at least someone has been here in the Ming Dynasty.

"Strange, since someone can find here, why is there no trace of theft from the tomb of Marquis Changxin and the tomb of Zhao Ji?"

"Didn't they follow the map trail to get here?"

I was very curious, so I took a closer look at the injuries of the two of them up and down, because this place was a real dragon, so the dragon qi was full. After thousands of years, the corpse has not turned into a skeleton, but has become a dried corpse. What was even more unexpected was that no wounds were found on the two corpses.

But when I went down to look underneath them, I saw that a branch about the thickness of an arm had pierced their backs. And when I looked at their pierced wounds, I didn't find a single drop of blood on their clothes.

"Apparently he died of blood loss, but why didn't I find a drop of blood underneath?" With questions, I retreated to Zhao Zhen and Zhang Liqun's side, and when I came back, Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I didn't find anything usable, but I found that they all died of blood loss, but I didn't see a drop of blood on the line." ”

Zhang Liqun listened to my words and exclaimed, "Could it be these baboons? ”

I shook my head and said, "It can't be those baboons, baboons aren't carnivores." ”

"That's not forever, when I watched that person and nature, there was an episode above that said that orangutans eat baboons, maybe these baboons are like those orangutans, and they may also eat meat." Zhao Zhen glanced at me and denied my claim.

"Then ...... you say" Before I finished speaking, Zhao Zhen shouted at me: "Be careful behind, lie down." Before he could finish speaking, I saw an iron rod come at me. I hurriedly bent down to avoid his iron rod. I only heard a "thump", and the iron rod smashed on the trunk of the golden tree behind me.

I straightened up and scolded at Zhao Zhen, "You fucking want to kill me, and suddenly you smashed a stick at me." ”

"I'm sorry, just now I saw a baboon next to you who wanted to be bad for you, so I smashed it with a stick, who knew that the baboon reacted quickly and didn't hit it, and besides, didn't I remind you before I smashed it, don't be so angry." Zhao Zhen looked at me with a guilty face and said.

"You ......" I wanted to scold Zhao Zhen, but Zhang Liqun stopped me and said to us: "You are quiet, listen to the echo in the trunk." ”

After listening to Zhang Liqun's words, I put my ear to the main trunk and listened to it in disbelief, and sure enough, I heard an echo inside. But those echoes disappeared quickly, and I didn't hear too exactly, I raised my head and said to Zhao Zhen: "You smash the trunk again, hurry up." Zhao Zhen sighed, raised the stick in his hand and aimed it at the trunk again.

After Zhao Zhen took the stick away from the trunk, I quickly put my ear on it, and this time the echo was much louder than the last time.

I raised my head and glanced at Zhang Liqun and said, "Is this empty?" ”

Zhang Liqun nodded at me and said, "I can be sure that the inside is empty, I think that entrance should be on this golden tree." ”

"Without further ado, we're picking up the pace and trying to finish the task as soon as possible." After saying this, I immediately stood up, waved my hand downward, and gave Hu Bing and them a signal to follow me to climb up.
