After a few breaths, a huge bubble suddenly appeared under the north well of the West Tourist Garden.

Zhao Qing was in the middle of this bubble, isolating the cool water in the well for a few inches, and quickly dived into the narrow space at the bottom of the well.

As the edge of the bubble pressed against a half-foot-square part of the wall of the well, protruding two inches, a "rolling" sound was immediately heard, and the surrounding stone wall slowly caved down, revealing an entrance that could only accommodate one person.

Entering the small dark square hole, she quickly swept through the winding secret passage made of dozens of feet of granite, and soon came to the next mechanism knob, but she was as familiar with the structure as the craftsman who built it, and pushed forward with her aura to activate it, and at the same time blocked its adverse changes.

In the blink of an eye, a new mechanism was opened, and Zhao Qing entered a silhouette that expanded in space and extended straight upward, only to see a steel door at the end, and a steel ring, with six blue and shining pearls embedded on each side of the door, illuminating the surrounding environment.

On the left wall of the side of the door, on the smooth granite wall, someone has carved a line of words with daggers and other things, and the nine characters "Goryeo Rakshasa Woman has been here" are the remnants of Fu Junwu's fake vault that entered Yang Gong's treasure house.

Ignoring the twelve rare night pearls, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, sensing that although he did not bring the slightest wind in the process of entering the treasure house, and his feet did not touch the ground the whole time, he did not completely eliminate the traces when he activated the mechanism, and he had been discovered by the detection system of the treasure house.

If it was Lu Miaozi, the chief designer of the treasure house, who had previously made a voice in Yang Gong's treasure house, he would have been able to detect the infiltration of outsiders, and perhaps he would have responded accordingly by opening the protective mechanism in the library, turning the basement into a death game and testing ground for mechanics.

As Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, dozens of spinning thin Xiaoice swords instantly condensed and scattered outward, and at the same time, ultrasonic waves with a high frequency sounded in the air, concentrated towards the area behind the steel door, as a means to strengthen her sensing ability.

……

On the edge of the Zhenku area of the Yang Gong Treasure Vault, there is a circular stone room with a round stone table in the center, eight stone chairs, and a topography map of the treasure house painted on the table, showing the relationship between the treasure house and the Daxing City on the ground.

In addition to a secret corridor leading to the main chamber and the vault, the circular chamber has four ordinary wooden doors that lead to the four treasure chambers.

Eight wall lamps evenly distributed on the four walls were lit there, illuminating Lu Miaozi sitting on one of the stone chairs in the stone room, as well as the paper with pictures and words spread out on the stone table in front of him, and a large pile of yellowed paper of the same size on the side.

If there are residents in Liyang, Danyang, and Jiangdu who are here, and see the papers that Lu Miaozi is looking at, they will immediately recognize that they are newspapers issued by the "Anguo" that was recently established in the Jiangnan area, and that many of the achievements of local development have been recorded.

The so-called "Anguo" is the tentative name of the forces created by Zhao Qing, which means a stable and peaceful country, which directly expresses her expectations for the future of this new country, as well as her determination to calm the war in the world.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn Edict" said: "There is no peace in the world, there is no peace in the world, there is no home in a country in chaos, and there is no place for a family to live in chaos." Wang Tong's "Wenzhongzi Zhou Gong" also said: "He should obey the heavens, settle the country and help the people!" ”

I have to say that Wang Tong's knowledge and ability are indeed real, although there is a bit of retro tendency, but he preaches the "way of China ~ the country", and develops Confucianism in the direction of practice, and his disciples include Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others, the level is quite good, and it has been fully exerted under Zhao Qing.

The name "Anguo" is exactly the result of the final adoption proposed by the great Confucian Wang Tong, discussed by Zhao Qing and others, and contains the meaning of the words "Anguo Quanjun" and "Min'an Guofu", and does not repeat the name of any previous dynasty.

The newspaper that Lu Miaozi is browsing is one of the editions of the "Anguo Daily" issued in the Anguo region, and the first half of the newspaper introduces the recent recruitment of a large number of civilians in Jiangdu City as a registration process for the training of grassroots officials in the future, and attaches the interview records of many people;

In the second half, the local medical bureau organized a large number of people to pick herbs in the mountains and fields as a reserve for wounds, diseases and plagues, and wrote down the harvest statistics after they spent several days, indicating how many people these herbs could theoretically be rescued and what the expected price would be.

Due to the limited level of printing, the newspaper was printed only on the front side, and the back side was blank. Lu Miaozi casually took another newspaper that continued the above, opened it and looked at the new content on the paper, thinking thoughtfully.

It is a serial called "The Secret History of the Bamboo Flower Gang", the author's nickname is "Yangzhou Shuanglong", which tells the story of Yin Kaishan, who was originally a gangster in Yangzhou, who broke through the rivers and lakes, repeatedly met with strange fate, and finally created the largest gang in Yangzhou with Shao Lingzhou, Shen Beichang, Luo Feng and other brothers "Bamboo Flower Gang".

This article is full of the speculations of people with little experience in the underworld gang after listening to a bunch of market reviews, involving a number of casinos, green buildings, and twists and turns of the treasure adventure, describing the moving love story of Yin Kaishan and Tianxian Lou Yuling;

Although the writing is amazingly bad and worthless in the eyes of orthodox literati, it is a gossip content that ordinary people like to hear, easy to understand, and closely related to Yin Kaishan, the leader of the "big man" Zhuhua Gang who exists in reality and has been liquidated and defeated, so it is widely praised.

In the reader interaction session at the end of the article, a considerable number of people were worried about the "Yangzhou Shuanglong" so boldly revealing the secrets of the gang, and felt that they were in danger of being attacked and retaliated by the remnants of the Zhuhua Gang.

There are also many people who suspect that Ssangyong itself is a core member of the four halls of the Bamboo Flower Gang's "Wind, Sunshine, Rain, and Dew", otherwise it is impossible to know the top secrets of so many gangs, and use this as evidence of the crime, threatening them to quickly update the plot of the next chapter.

"Yangzhou Shuanglong", naturally Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, after wandering around Yangzhou for a period of time, they unexpectedly found that a large area around them had become under the rule of Zhao Qing, and returned to Jiangdu in shock, while practicing martial arts, they also tried to contribute to the local newspaper.

Although he only has the cultural level of eavesdropping on Old Master Bai's lectures, Ssangyong is naturally intelligent and imaginative, and he made up all kinds of outrageous plots with the Zhuhua Gang that once oppressed them, and published them in the newspaper, and actually gained a large number of fans.

……

After reading the content of this edition for a while, Lu Miaozi seemed to recall his past when he was young, and couldn't help but smile, then folded the newspaper and put it aside, and looked up at Xiang Yutian, who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"The new issue of the newspaper must have come out a long time ago, but why should I do it for you? If you don't hand over a few treasures in the real library and pay for the journey, don't expect me to catch up thousands of miles to bring it over for a few days in a row. ”

Xiang Yutian pretended to be very dissatisfied, stared at Lu Miaozi who was sitting viciously, suddenly his expression returned to normal, took out a stack of brand-new newspapers from behind him, put it on the stone table, and said lightly:

"Xiao Lu, this 'printing technique' invented by Anguo craftsmen should not be difficult for you. With the Demon Seed lasting for decades, when will you also open a newspaper or newspapers similar to it, so that I can have more fun? ”

"The 'printing technique' itself is just an upgrade of the seal, but it takes a long time to make and is not too difficult. In fact, if you just want to read more newspaper content, you don't need to print it, just find a group of literati to write it. ”

Lu Miaozi glanced at the newly published newspaper and noticed an eye-catching headline on it, "Regarding the Eastern Turks' violation of the sovereignty of Middle Earth, Heavenly Sword Song Que intends to go north in September or October to fight against Wuzun Bi Xuan", and he was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Knowing that the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que was currently in an alliance with An Guo, he thought about it in his heart, and at the same time replied confidently: "But you often go out to visit Jiangnan, will it delay the major event of searching for and eliminating evil spirits?" ”

"Do you think I really like to watch these things?" Pointing to the newspaper on the table, Xiang Yutian casually defended and said, "If it weren't for Zhao Qing, who suddenly appeared with suspicion and cultivated to become a transcendent saint, how could I go to Jiangdu to investigate and bring you some local 'specialties'?" ”

"Except for the reason that Xie Wei Demon Seed turned into an evil spirit, it's hard for me to imagine that a super master with a martial arts realm no less than me will suddenly appear in the world."

"You have warned me that the evil spirit may become an anti-king, protected by its army of thousands of men. Now it seems that although this Zhao Qing does not match much in gender, considering the changes in the transformation of heaven and man, he is indeed the most suspicious person at present. ”

"But in my opinion, even if Zhao Qing, who established Anguo, is really the evil spirit in your mouth, the territory under her rule is peaceful and poor, orderly, and the people's livelihood is developing rapidly, and she has the potential to create a new dynasty and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous world." Lu Miaozi hesitated for a while, then retorted:

"If the so-called evil spirits are born to do good things, and it seems that they will continue to be done, why should we regard them as future disasters and force them to be destroyed?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I recently needed to design a new mechanism structure and secret passage for Yang Gong's treasure house, in order to deal with the people in the demon gate and possible evil spirits who were attracted, I wouldn't have to do it for you, I would have gone to Jiangdu a long time ago to see with my own eyes and see what was going on under her rule."

Xiang Yutian nodded, and replied with a smile: "It is precisely for this reason, so I am not so sure, I think that Zhao Qing may not be the evil spirit that escaped from the tomb, or it may be that he has cultivated the "God of War Catalogue", which is the first of the four great strange books in the legend. ”

"Although this means that I have wasted most of my work for half a month, and I still have not grasped the clues about the real evil spirit, I still hope that this is the case, so that after communicating with her, I can find out the pattern of the appearance of the God of War Temple."

"According to the information I rearranged the 'Heavenly Evil Dao', Patriarch Xie Wei seems to have unearthed the rare 'Suihou Zhu' that is called the 'Easy-going Treasure' along with He's Bi, which has a high probability of having a strange power similar to He's Bi, maybe it is falling into the hands of evil spirits at the moment, which can speed up its recovery."

"If you don't take down the evil spirit within a month or two, the difficulty and cost of dealing with it in the future will be much higher. Therefore, this is the last issue of the newspaper I purchased, and for some time after that, I will have to stay in the treasure trove to help you complete the construction. ”

With that, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the stone table, and with a slight twist, the floor next to the table sank, revealing the small space inside, and then took out a small copper jar from his broad robe and put it into the mechanism.

"According to the information I heard in Jiangdu, Liyang, and Danyang, Zhao Qing has most likely left for Daxing to come for the agreement between her and the Buddhist sect to gamble, and she may be in the city now."

"When the time comes, try to get up close and personal with her, and then find out her true details, and know whether the evil spirit has been perfectly disguised during this time and suppressed the evil instinct in its heart, or if I have confessed the wrong person to Yutian."

"Speaking of which, your family's Qingya Pegasus Ranch is now adjacent to Anguo's sphere of influence, and it may be annexed and taken down at any time. Even if I don't care about any evil spirits, in the next period of time, you should deal with Zhao Qing. ”

Xiang Yutian briefly explained a few words, and was about to change the topic and talk about the news of Song Que's appointment to fight Bi Xuan, when he suddenly heard two "Dangdang" sounds from the direction of Changkuo, which was the location of the main hub room of the agency, indicating that someone had touched the alarm system in the basement.

"An outsider has infiltrated the treasure trove." Lu Miaozi's expression was slightly shocked, and from the subtle changes in the two "dang" sounds, he noticed that the speed of the other party's infiltration was extraordinary, and his skills were probably much stronger than his own after being strengthened by the demon seed, and he was proficient in the skills of cracking the mechanism.

There is no doubt that this is by no means an ordinary level treasure hunter who coincidentally enters, but a very threatening intruder, if it weren't for the presence of a peerless master like Xiang Yutian, even with the help of many mechanisms, he still wouldn't have the full certainty of dealing with the other party.

After decades of wandering the rivers and lakes, Lu Miaozi naturally has his vigilance, knowing that "those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming", although there is no way to confirm the details of those who enter the treasure house, but in the place where countless treasures are located, it is difficult not to think that the other party will not have the intention of snatching treasures and killing people.

"Haven't you already sealed the passage between the fake library and the real library?"

With limited knowledge of mechanics and no sense of the information contained in the sound, Xiang Yutian was too lazy to do it himself, and casually reminded: "Then seal the entrance of the fake library, and then casually trigger some crossbow arrows stored in the mechanism, and it should be able to be dealt with." ”

Without saying anything more, leaving from the long silhouette, Lu Miaozi quickly came to a small room where Fang Guang was only ten steps away. In the center of the chamber was a well-like facility, and on the well was a large winch, on which a small chain as thick as a child's arm was coiled.

As the winch turned, he concentrated on controlling the whole situation with the slip shaft noose, and a dull rumbling sound came from below, which meant that the driving force of the underground water flow was sufficient, and the lethal mechanism in the false reservoir area was fully activated.

……

As Zhao Qing expected, when she turned the door knocker and opened the steel door in front of her, there was a crisp and loud "pop" sound, and then there was a rapid sound.

Ten extra-long and thick steel arrows seemed to shoot from the darkness at the other end in a chaotic manner, and the sound of breaking through the air brought a fierce whistling sound, which was even more piercing in this silent underground corridor, filling the space where only people could stand.

This kind of super power crossbow launched by the machine is a hundred times more powerful than the crossbow arrows issued by ordinary crossbow bows, and unless the comer can become as thin as paper, it is impossible to avoid it.

However, they may be very powerful against unarmed Grandmaster-level masters, relying on the density of their arrows to inflict heavy damage on enemies, and even if they can barely block with their blades, they will be forced back into a new trap area.

If it is launched continuously, the lethality will increase exponentially, and the difficulty of resistance will be several levels higher, and it can cooperate with other mechanisms, but when it meets Zhao Qing at this moment, it can't play a role.

I saw that the aura around Zhao Qing's body quickly condensed, and in an instant, it turned into a dark realm, and entered the state of "form and god turned into void", and as soon as the steel arrow flew to the area a few zhang in front of her, there was an obvious stagnation, which was resisted by ten small ice swords out of thin air;

Immediately afterward, a majestic wave of air suddenly erupted forward, accurately catapulting these weakened steel arrows back into the arrow hole where they were originally located, colliding with the second batch of crossbow arrows that were about to be fired, and stuck in the hole.

Knowing that Lu Miaozi had spent a lot of effort on the design of Yang Gong's treasure house, Zhao Qing, who planned to recruit the other party, did not intend to destroy this place on a large scale, but his mind moved slightly, as if the spiritual power of the substance spread, forcibly blocking several mechanisms in the rear that were about to release biogas.

In the next moment, her figure turned into an indiscernible phantom, and in the blink of an eye, she manipulated her aura to infiltrate the arrow wall and another steel wall behind it, ignoring the locks of the internal mechanism, forcibly lifting them and breaking into them, reaching the location of the center of the treasure vault.

In an instant, he recognized Lu Miaozi who had not yet reacted in the room, Zhao Qing's heart moved, he sensed the aura of demonic energy on the other party's body, and used "his heart communication" to know the existence of Xiang Yutian.
