Sparrow said: "Let's split up and see if there is an entrance." ”

Several people looked at the blind man, and although there were four of them, the other three together could not match the blind man's eyesight. The blind man was now attracted by the opposite wall, on which hung objects like chandeliers, all of which were cast iron hollowed-outs, connected to each other by pipes, and at the beginning was placed an oak barrel with the English word hisky printed on it, which the blind man recognized as whiskey, which he had learned from Arnold.

When Arnold heard that the cask contained whiskey, he took out his pistol and aimed it at the barrel, and his idea was simple: if he made a hole in the cask, the whiskey would flow out, and he could just eat and drink it.

It was too late for the sparrow to stop him, and with a single shot, the bullet hit the barrel accurately. Unexpectedly, the oak barrel was filled with gunpowder, and the explosion exploded, and for a while the smoke was filled, and several people fell to the ground in a hurry, but fortunately, the barrel of gunpowder was far away from them, and although the explosion made a loud noise, it did not cause them any harm.

The blind man was so angry that he scolded Arnold, who knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to turn back, but in his heart he scolded the person who came up with the idea of writing whiskey on the powder keg.

After the explosion of the gunpowder, the flames quickly spread along the pipes, and a cast-iron openwork carved chandelier hanging from the wall was lit to illuminate the dark underground world, and they realized that the powder keg had been placed there for a reason, and the gunpowder was used to ignite the underground lighting system.

Under the light of the fire, the walls showed golden reflections in many places, and the lines of handwriting were walking dragons and snakes, and the blind man did not know much about this wild grass, and now he was really blind, and Arnold could not even tell which language was in front of him. On the surrounding walls, there are also black holes, the diameter of the cave is generally about one meter, and there are obvious traces of smoke and fire around the cave entrance, these holes are likely to be the Dan room of alchemy in the past.

Luo Lie read a few sentences, and found that this is an article by Emperor Qianlong to remember his father, judging from the content, there is no sadness in it, but it is full of blessings and hopes, and the content does not involve the cause of Yongzheng's death, and the whole article does not even mention a dead word, but says that Emperor Yongzheng became a Buddha and ascended to immortality.

Sparrow said: "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty seems to have some fate with the Buddha. "Emperor Shunzhi was rumored to be a monk in Wutai Mountain, and passed the throne to Kangxi, Kangxi's reign was the most emperor of the Qing Dynasty, according to the text, his son Yongzheng became a Buddha. There are two generations of grandchildren, one is a monk and the other is a Buddha, is it already doomed?

The blind man said: "Isn't Yongzheng full of blood, and was finally assassinated by Lu Siniang? I heard that there is no head left, what is to ascend to the immortal, what to become a Buddha on the ground, I am afraid that it is just the reason why Emperor Qianlong deliberately whitewashed the peace and used it to cover up the truth." ”

Sparrow smiled and said: "What you said is just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, the Qing Palace archives can not be found, Emperor Yongzheng has a tough wrist, does things vigorously, and naturally has countless grievances, his opponent thinks that he must not die well, it is not surprising that there are such rumors." ”

Luo Lie said: "We are not here to find out the cause of Emperor Yongzheng's death. ”

Arnold nodded again and again: "This is probably the secret treasure that Ye Qinghong said, right?"

Luo Lie walked to the edge of the platform, and found that there was a distance of about seven meters from the edge to the opposite side, and there was a trench in the middle, the trench was about ten meters deep, there should have been water in this trench in the past, but now it has dried up, the bottom is completely exposed, and a lot of white bones can be seen in the riverbed, which should be the person who fell into the trench and drowned, among which there are several animal bones, the length of the head and tail is more than six meters, from the appearance of the reptilian class, Luo Lie judged that it should be a crocodile, and it is a larger Siamese crocodile.

The blind man insisted that it was a dragon, after all, this guy was not as knowledgeable as Luo Lie, and he had never seen a crocodile when he was so big.

Arnold found a fixed point, tied the rope, and several men slipped along the rope to the bottom of the riverbed, and the whole riverbed was also made of huge granite, and the blind man came to the animal's skeleton for the first time, touched its head, and saw the sharp teeth in its long snout, and exclaimed: "This dragon must have been quite fierce when it was alive." ”

Sparrow said: "It looks like it should be a Siamese crocodile." Everything she saw in front of her made her sketch the picture of the year in her mind, when the statue of Emperor Yongzheng had been erected, around the statue, all over the Dan room, the Taoist priests through unique devices and equipment, adding various materials to the Dan room alchemy, these Dan rooms around the periphery may only be a rough process, after the first step of screening and purification, and then the selected materials can be sent to the next processing process.

This ditch used to be rippling blue waves, the trench is home to fierce Siamese crocodiles, this river around the statue seems to be calm, but in fact it is a dangerous place, if anyone wants to enter around the statue, first cross this river, the white bones in the riverbed are people who have fallen or ventured to cross the river, without exception become the dessert of Siamese crocodiles.

However, the ferocious Siamese crocodile could not escape the fate of death in the end, time passed, the stars changed, the food was cut off, the river dried up, and the dozens of Siamese crocodiles that used to live in the inland river also turned into a pile of dry bones.

The sparrow was a little curious: "How can a Siamese crocodile survive here?" After all, this is Beiping, and the weather here is not suitable for Siamese crocodiles to survive.

Luo Lie said: "It should be someone who transported them here, this is likely to be the secret place of Yongzheng alchemy in the past, so many furnaces, if they are refined at the same time, the temperature inside must be very high, I think this river not only plays the role of isolation and protection, but also cools down through the flow of water." ”

The sparrow nodded, and the hot air was discharged into the water, which would increase the temperature of the water, and the Siamese crocodile was able to survive in such an environment, and judging by the white bones below, they were by no means the first to enter.

The four of them were divided into two groups, and walked along the dry river from the left and right, one group of Luo Hunt and the Sparrow, and the other group of the Blind Man and Arnold, in addition to the bones of the dead, the most in the riverbed were weapons and tools, many of which were used to climb the flying catch, because the rope had rotted into ashes because of the time, but the steel part was still the same.

Luo Hunt selected some tools that were still usable, and deduced that many of the people who fell into the river were thieves.

The blind man and Arnold also found out, the blind man picked up a feng shui compass, this compass is made of gold, and the parts inside are inlaid with several gems, the blind man has never seen such a luxurious compass, picked it up and wiped the dust with his sleeve, and found that the compass is still functioning normally, and he really loves it.

Arnold untied a gold necklace from the neck of a skeleton and busied himself with the gold ring on his hand. The blind man blinked his little eyes, held the golden compass in his arms, and hurriedly went to pick up the treasure, there were many lost treasures in the riverbed, and the two scrambled to be the first, for fear that they would be picked up by the other party one step later.

Luo Lie and Sparrow naturally saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry along the way, but the two of them were not as greedy as those two living treasures, they were more concerned about the entrance of the secret treasure, and did not stop too much in the river. The two quickly rounded to the back of the pedestal platform and saw two stone doors.

There was no device around the stone gate to open the door, and when the sparrow was looking for the door opening mechanism, Luo Lie heard the sound of the blind man and Arnold arguing in the distance, but it was the two who were fighting for property, Luo Lie walked over helplessly, and saw that the two were holding a scepter and fighting each other.

Luo Lie stepped forward and asked for the scepter, don't look at the blind man and Arnold are not convinced by each other, but they buy it very much from Luo Lie, and honestly teach him the scepter. The scepter is made of platinum, and the body is surrounded by two snakes, and dozens of purple gems are inlaid around the top, and the eyes of the two snakes are also inlaid with rubies, but the top of the scepter is a recess, Luo Lie judged from experience, there should have been a huge gem inlaid here in the past, but it is now gone, and it is likely to have been stolen.

The blind man and Arnold also had the same idea as Luo Hunt, the most precious part of the scepter was no longer there, the two lowered their heads and went to the pile of bones to search for possible gems, Luo Hunt said: "No matter how good the treasure is, it is not as important as life, can we get out of here I don't know, you two are actually here You fight for me, and you have forgotten the love of birth and death in the past?"

The blind man and Arnold were blushing when Luo Hunt said this, thinking that what they had just done was really a ghost, Luo Hunt was right, the most important thing in front of them was to get out of here first, otherwise even if there was a precious treasure in front of them, they would not be able to take it out.

The two followed Luo Lie back to the sparrow, but the sparrow did not find a mechanism that could activate the stone gate, and shook his head at Luo Lie.

Luo Lie said: "Is there a way to leave on the map just now?"

Sparrow shook his head and said, "There is no mark on the map at all. ”

Several people were stunned, if things were as the sparrow said, it would be troublesome, which meant that it was impossible to get out of here by relying on the guidance of the map.

Sparrow said: "The map marks the two bronze gates we passed, but there are no statues on the map, everything here is completely different from the map, there is no underground palace at all." ”

The blind man and Arnold glanced at each other, both of them couldn't hide the panic on their faces, they had come all the way here, they had worked hard, and now even if they wanted to go back the same way, there was little hope, not to mention the two bronze doors that they couldn't open, even if they could open the copper door, the water outside was afraid that it had flooded the passage, and once the copper door was opened, the water would flood here.

The blind man said, "Sparrow, think again, maybe the map marks the passage to leave." ”

Sparrow said: "The passage to leave is marked on the map, but this place is completely different from the map. The underground building they were currently in didn't have any markings on the map at all, and the sparrow couldn't help but panic a little.
