CHAPTER XLIV

Walking out of the main hall, everyone continued to explore deeper.

After walking for a long time, there seemed to be the sound of water, and in front of me was a garden carved from a large number of volcanic stones, among which trees and flowers were in different shapes, and they were vivid.

But upon closer inspection, the whole garden was propped up on a dark body of water, and in the water, a white fish was jumping up.

I saw that the fish resembled a common flounder on the sea, with a flattened body and eyes only on one side, but it was not as gentle and silly as the flounder in the outside world, but full of fangs and full of anger.

"What does this fish look like? It looks very vicious. Yang Shuocheng complained.

"But this is the inside of the volcano, how can there be live fish!?" Wang Haiyang was very puzzled.

Mu Wei took out a long rope from the baggage, put it in the water, and quickly pulled it up when it was soaked.

He put the wet rope close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully: "This is living water, not much different from the sea outside. ”

From the Silk Road: "It seems that when the Dazun Dynasty built the tomb, it also opened up the inside of the volcano and introduced the sea water from the outside. ”

Then, she was a little unsure: "However, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and even ...... It is possible to break through the rock formations deep underneath and cause the sleeping lava to be swept out in an instant. ”

"For hundreds of years, the fish in the water have been snow-white because they have not seen sunlight all year round."

"Looking at the appearance of the fish just now, if you want to survive, you have evolved sharp teeth and eat other fish, otherwise, according to so many years of reproduction, this water area will already be full of fish."

Hearing this, Wang Haiyang and the others were amazed: "I originally thought that the main hall project just now was already extremely huge, but I didn't expect that there would be something even more powerful, tsk......tsk"

At this moment, a strange sound came from underwater.

Everyone looked down and saw that the fish that had just been white was being bitten by a black-brown snake, and after struggling for a few breaths, the fish did not move at all.

It seems that this black snake is not small.

Who knew that the black snake was not only not poisonous, but also not small, while biting the fish meat in its mouth, it stared at the people on the water with its cruel little eyes.

"Hey......" Yang Shuocheng had some flames rising in his heart.

The next moment, the blood spread, attracting dozens of snakes of the same black and brown color to swim quickly, competing for the dead food.

In an instant, the bite and fight continued.

The black snake, which had not been given food, became angry and immediately bit and killed the rest of the same kind that had eaten the fish.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, although they were also characters licking blood on the tip of the knife, and they couldn't get used to it for a while.

Cong Si looked at it coldly and said, "Let's go, the time is limited, let's go to the next place." ”

……

After the volcanic stone garden, you will arrive at a new palace.

The palace in front of me was even bigger than the one just now, and even more magnificent and gorgeous.

And this palace was also built on the water.

The crowd crossed the large stone bridge and entered the main hall.

The entire main hall is no different from the usual royal palace, and it is only filled with precious antique utensils.

But this is not what everyone is looking for, after a brief look, they entered a side hall in the northeast corner.

But unfortunately, the crowd still didn't find anything.

Even if there is a coffin in it, when it is opened, it is only an empty coffin.

To sum up, this palace should be the tomb of the wife of the regent Li Shijiang, but it is unknown why there is no body in it.

Passing through the burial chamber of the wife's proper wife, and walking through the corresponding alleyway, everyone soon arrived in front of a building.

"This building, the scale is a little smaller, eh, Qingshan Pavilion? How do you feel that it is a pavilion used by women? Isn't it the daughter of the regent Li Shijiang?! Yang Shuocheng said with an old plaque on the door.

The next moment, Congsi shook his head: "Li Shijiang has no daughters in his life, and he only has a sister-in-law and two concubines under his knees. ”

"Qingshan, is the name of the princess regent."

Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that this regent princess is far from the status recorded in history." ”

Congsi nodded: "Indeed, their family sacrificed too much in order to consolidate the Dazun Dynasty back then. ”

And Li Shijiang also cherishes this wife very much. It is rumored that on one occasion, when the princess regent was seriously ill, the regent guarded her day and night, even kneeling down and inviting the most powerful doctor at the time to treat his wife. ”

After speaking, an inexplicable envy rose in her heart.

But, those are not things that she can touch.

Mu Wei glanced at the woman in front of him who was a little distracted, and said, "Let's go in and have a look, maybe we will find something." ”

……

Entering Qingshan Pavilion, everyone found that the various arrangements inside showed the study of the regent Li Shijiang.

Except for a portrait of the princess regent hanging on the wall, the rest are the books that Li Shijiang has read over the years, military books, history books, and poems, which are piled up on the shelves.

"So much, how can you see it?" Wang Haiyang's head is big.

Congsi shook his head: "The things that are put out on the surface are not necessarily really important, let's see if there are any hidden box mechanisms or anything like that." ”

Mu and Yang felt justified and nodded in agreement.

So, a group of five people all opened their eyes wide and watched carefully with the lamp in their hands.

Half an hour later, everyone searched for no avail, but they brought out a few black snakes that had just been photographed, causing Wan Peng to almost lose his life.

Congsi was a little discouraged in his heart: "In this undersea palace, all the buildings are different from the usual underground palaces and tombs, but they build the palace generously and show everything one by one, which is a little difficult." ”

On the side, Yang Shuocheng pouted and said, "Master, I thought I would encounter some ghosts, giant monsters and the like, but I ended up cleaning up this thing!" ”

Mu Wei slapped his junior brother on the head: "This is inside the volcano, if there is really any big movement, it is very likely to cause the revival of the volcano, and at that time, not only the tomb robbers will lose their lives, but even the entire undersea palace will be turned into ashes." ”

Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng smiled Hanhan: "It's too, hahaha......"

Just as a few people said this, Wang Haiyang stared at the portrait of the princess regent on the wall.

"Chief, my subordinates think that the portrait of the princess is really realistic, and when you look at her smiling, it is as if she is standing in front of her subordinates."

Turning his head from silk, his eyes were also fixed on the portrait.

After a few moments, she suddenly held up the grease lamp in her hand and approached the portrait.

Seeing this, everyone followed.

Mu Wei said: "But what did you find? ”

From the silk to the light in the hand from the top of the portrait down, slowly move, and then from left to right, repeating the movement in the hand.

"There's something wrong with this portrait."

"You see, from the top down, she's laughing, but from left to right, she seems to be deliberately staring at a certain place."

Hearing this, several people also found clues.

"Really, what kind of painting is this? Can you draw different expressions from two angles? ”

Shake your head from silk.

Immediately, she pushed aside the crowd of onlookers behind her and looked elsewhere.

The next moment, I heard her say, "She's looking over there." ”

Several people held grease lamps to illuminate the bookshelf in front of them, and a metal box with gold cutouts was lying quietly on the lattice where the books were placed.

Inside the box, there was a very small orb, and inside the bead was the familiar venom of the silk.

Beneath the bead is a multicolored hydrangea.

"This openwork pattern...... Is it a star map? Yang Shuocheng looked puzzled?

Mu Wei nodded: "To be precise, it is a polar astronomical map." ”

"The whole metal box, with six sides, if untied and connected in order, will be a complete astronomical map of polar phenomena."

Congsi said, "Then what it shows are twenty-eight constellations, one thousand four hundred and forty stars?" ”

"Indeed."

"Boss, there is such an ordinary hydrangea in such a fine box, does it mean that there are clues in it that we need to find?"

Congsi nodded: "It may be, but it is difficult to unlock this box." ”

The star map on this box can be moved, but it is indeed not an easy task to put it together completely and correctly to ensure that the hydrangea inside will not be destroyed.

From the silk looked at Mu Wei and Yang Shuocheng: "I know very little about astronomy and astronomy, what about you?" ”

Yang Shuocheng shook his head.

Mu Wei pursed his lips: "I have learned a little about it in the clan before, and I still have a little impression, I can only do my best." ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts finally slowed down a little.

"That's good, it's up to you."

Everyone stared at Mu Wei one after another, their eyes full of hope.

Mu Wei: "......"
