Chapter 120: Inside the Mine

"Qiu Lu, you go and bring someone here to guard, and Master Wu and I will go down to investigate."

Lu Luoxi gave an order and entered the cave with Master Wu one after the other.

The path leading to the entrance of the cave was slightly short, and Lu Luoxi and Master Wu could only bend over.

Master Wu had to look back every time he walked to see if Lu Luoxi could stand it.

"Eldest princess, are you okay?"

"Master Wu, you go forward, don't worry about me."

Lu Luoxi would respond every time, but Master Wu could clearly feel that Lu Luoxi's voice was getting smaller and smaller.

"Ahem, what's the smell? How is it getting bigger? Master Wu, cover your mouth and nose! ”

Lu Luoxi covered his mouth and nose and handed Master Wu a handkerchief.

Master Wu took the handkerchief and covered it on his mouth and nose, and knocked on the stone wall next to him.

"Eldest princess, the further you go inside, the bigger the smell will be, otherwise you go to the ground first. Just wait for Qiu Lu to come over and let him come down. I just listened to the echo inside, and I feel that there is still a lot of space inside. I'll go ahead and get a rough picture of the terrain. ”

Lu Luoxi shook his head and decided to persevere.

"Master Wu, no, I have to go with you, I must know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd!"

Master Wu no longer persuaded and continued to walk forward with Lu Luoxi.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they noticed that the view ahead had widened.

Both of them looked surprised, and finally this section of the road that could not stand up to the waist was coming to an end.

At the end of the trail is a vast underground mine.

There are many and dense traces of mining, and it can be seen that it has been active for a long time.

The mines are one after the other.

Much of the interior of the mine is supported only by pillars left over from mining.

It gives people the feeling that they are crumbling and about to collapse.

There are also many trails that wind into the distance.

Lu Luoxi was stunned by the scenery in front of her, and she involuntarily put down the hand covering her mouth and nose.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

In a violent cough, Lu Luoxi reacted.

She covered her mouth and nose again.

"Master Wu! The space under this is so big, and it stinks, what kind of mine is this? ”

Master Wu shrugged his nose cautiously and sniffed the smell of the mine.

"The smell is familiar, I think I've smelled it somewhere."

Master Wu fell into deep thought, struggling to remember where he had smelled it.

Lu Luoxi didn't bother when he saw Master Wu's hard work.

She walked up and down the hole, trying to go deeper.

Just as Lu Luoxi was walking back and forth with his face up, he accidentally tripped over a stone underground.

With a "snap", Lu Luoxi fell to the ground.

This voice woke up Master Wu.

Master Wu clapped his hands.

"Oh! I remember, this smell is what I've smelled in someone else's arsenal! ”

The expression of surprise on Master Wu's face flashed and became solemn.

Arsenal?

That means at least the ore can be used as a weapon.

And this mine is not a registered mine within the state.

Who discovered this mine?

Why didn't you report it to the imperial court?

Also mined privately!

The more Master Wu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly went to find Lu Luoxi.

Lu Luoxi was lying on the ground at this time, and got up cautiously.

Halfway through, a bottle gurgled and rolled to the ground.

The bottle fell out of Lu Luoxi's arms.

Lu Luoxi picked it up in his hand, only to find that it was the elixir that Shen Yangze had given her that could shield her sense of smell.

"Shen Yangze, there is really you, this can also make you predict."

Lu Luoxi hurriedly swallowed one.

She took the bottle to find Master Wu, only to find that Master Wu's face was very bad.

"Master Wu, give you the Turtle Breath Pill, which can shield your sense of smell. What happened to you? The face is so bad. ”

Master Wu took the pill and swallowed it directly without looking at it.

"Eldest princess, I have a very bad premonition. I am afraid that this mine was used by someone to make weapons privately. ”

"Build weapons! Is there anyone who wants to rebel? Is it Lu Xun? ”

"It's hard to say whether it's Lu Xun or not, but it must have nothing to do with southern Xinjiang."

Master Wu pointed to a pattern on the stone wall.

Lu Luoxi looked over, and sure enough, it was the moon water talisman again.

"They're too unscrupulous!"

"We must go up as soon as possible, inform the government to take good care of this place, and report the situation of the court to the present we know, and if necessary, the army needs to be stationed here."

Lu Luoxi looked at the path next to him in all directions, and felt that this was not the best time to go up.

"Master Wu, your feet are fast, you go up first to inform people, and I'll go inside and see if there is anything else."

"Absolutely not! Eldest princess, we don't know the situation inside, and we must not let you go on an adventure. And, you see, these pillars are faintly showing signs of collapse, what if the ground suddenly collapses? ”

"Master Wu, you believe me, I'll be back soon."

After speaking, Lu Luoxi rushed in first.

Master Wu was angry but helpless.

"Forget it, Qiu Lu has already brought people here, so I'd better go in with the princess. I can't save it if something happens. ”

Master Wu could only follow Lu Luoxi inside.

The path inside is winding and winding, and there are many forks in the road.

Lu Luoxi and Master Wu couldn't tell the direction underground, so they could only walk forward in the direction they came.

They found that the further they went, the wetter the road became.

"Master Wu, why is this land getting wetter and wetter?"

Master Wu also rarely walked underground, and could only shake his head.

It wasn't until water dripped from the top of his head that Master Wu realized that something was wrong.

"Eldest princess, you can't go any further! We went too far, and it was probably the Takijiang River above, which would probably collapse soon if the water was strong. ”

Lu Luoxi wiped the water droplets on his head, and looked at the moon water talisman that was in front of him every other paragraph, and he was still a little unwilling.

"But, Master Wu ......"

When the danger was at hand, Master Wu no longer listened to Lu Luoxi.

He took her hand, picked up the light work, and returned the same way as fast as he could.

At the entrance of the cave, a group of officials were guarding there.

After Qiu Lu brought someone over, he went down to look for Lu Luoxi and them by himself.

The officials didn't know what was going on, they just stayed there.

So, they didn't notice that there was a man lying on his stomach in a bush not far from them.

He stared at the officials, muttering something.

Lu Luoxi didn't expect his point to be so recited.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Just as Master Wu was pulling her back to run, something fell down.

Lu Luoxi still had the energy to look back during the run.

It was the top of the mine that began to fall stones.

Most of the crumbling stone pillars in the cave are also starting to crack.

"Boom--"

Misfortune is not a one-way street, Lu Luoxi heard the sound of thunder underground.

The voice echoed through the caverns like the roar of a dragon.
