Chapter 675: Visit
"The dungeon?" Li Qingyi was surprised, the country was too far away, so long that she could hardly hear people talking about it, and she naturally didn't know too much about the previous dynasty, "What do you mean...... The dungeon of the previous dynasty? ”
Changning began to mobilize her gossip-loving little brain melon again, and said: "The slave maid has heard some wild history rumors, it is said that when the previous dynasty fell, our Emperor Gaozu of Dajing found an underground palace, in addition to a small number of hidden royal families of the previous dynasty, there are also a large number of gold and silver treasures, Emperor Gaozu got this batch of treasures, so that our national strength is stronger than Chongnan for nearly a hundred years. And those who died in the royal family and princes of the previous dynasty were buried in the underground palace. ”
Chang Yan was surprised, "Where did you hear about it......"
"Uh...... It's the older generation of people in the market who tell stories to children to play, but although folklore is not entirely credible, it must not be groundless. ”
Li Qingyi felt a chill down his spine, if this was really an underground palace, it was simply a group burial tomb, if it was a burial, it must have been just slaughtered and thrown into the underground palace.
"Perhaps...... At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu did not remove all the remnants of the previous dynasty in the underground palace, and there were still some hidden fish that slipped through the net, and they failed to restore the country several times until they ......"
It wasn't until one of the descendants of the kingdom was reborn that there was a situation where we had the opportunity everywhere today.
Changning looked at her, obviously wanting to hear her say "until what".
Li Qingyi hurriedly diverted the topic, "Changning, do you still know any news about the underground palace of the previous dynasty?" Whatever the rumors are, let's hear about them. ”
Changning immediately came to the spirit, "The slave maid also heard that the imperial palace of the previous dynasty was extremely vast and luxurious, and even the underground palace was much larger than our palace city in Dajing, and there were many mechanisms inside, and the intruder would die." There are also rumors that the underground palace is at our feet, and it is said that our capital absorbs the dragon qi from the bones of the royal family of the previous dynasty in the underground palace day and night, which makes the dynasty more and more prosperous, and at the same time suppresses these undead from being troubled or reincarnated. But no one knows if it's true or not, and later many tomb robbers heard the wind and looked around for the entrance to the dungeon, trying to find something, but there was no follow-up, and I don't know if they died in the dungeon, or if they didn't find anything. ”
Li Qingyi said: "For more than 100 years in Dajing, the capital has been rebuilt and repaired many times, if it is true that there is an underground palace as rumored, and it is under our feet, it should not be impossible to find anything, or rather, someone found out, but concealed it...... Or perhaps, this underground palace is indeed extremely hidden, and no matter how people toss and excavate, it is not revealed? ”
Chang Yan boldly assumed, "Could it be that the entrance to the underground palace is in the deep incense rouge shop, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have been guarding here?" ”
Li Qingyi frowned, "But didn't Emperor Gaozu bring people into the underground palace?" Others don't know, but the emperors of the past must know, right? ”
"Not necessarily." Changning said: "Maybe after Emperor Gaozu moved the empty underground palace, he sealed the underground palace, after all, our imperial palace was built on top of the underground palace, what if the entrance is known, what if the underground palace is used to assassinate?" However, Emperor Gaozu thought that he had sealed the underground palace, but in fact, there were other entrances and exits in the underground palace, which only the remnants of the kingdom knew. ”
Chang Yan pondered, "This ...... It's barely plausible. ”
Li Qingyi said: "Let's not care if this is a dungeon or not, since we can be sent in, there must be an exit, there is no above, just look around." ”
The glow of the fire fold was reflected by the ice cubes, allowing the three of them to see their surroundings clearly, and the walls around them were fairly flat, and they then touched the walls inch by inch, trying to find a crack or trace.
Changning seemed to be good at things like organs, and said: "It stands to reason that as long as it is an organ, no matter how secret the mechanism is, there will definitely be traces, how can there be nothing?" ”
After a lot of chaos and speculation, Li Qingyi had completely regained his composure, and his reason was also in place, and he said: "Since the organ is not in the place we want, it must be in the place we can't think of." ”
She looked at the ice inside.
These ice cubes are crystal clear, glowing with a layer of white mist and frost, and they are cold to the touch.
Li Qingyi touched them one by one, the coolness climbed on her fingertips, and the temperature of her fingertips also caused the frost on the ice cubes to melt into a transparent trace.
Seeing this, Changning understood this, and immediately did so, looking for it among the ice cubes in the room.
Not long after, Li Qingyi suddenly touched a piece of "ice cube" with a different touch.
She looked closely, her hand touched the surface carefully, although it was as cold as ice, but this coldness was different from the biting bones of ice, but a restrained and non-hurtful cold.
"Come and see, this looks like a piece of jade!"
Changning Chang ran over and squatted down, looking at the translucent white ice cubes next to the ground, her method was very direct, she directly rubbed her palms and pasted them, for a moment, there was no trace, the surface of the "ice cube" was still smooth, and there was no sign of melting, "It's really jade, I'll drop it obediently, how much silver is such a big piece of jade worth!" ”
He poked her, "Don't you want to think about it, what if this is not a mechanism to open the door, but a mechanism to kill people?" ”
Changning suddenly became serious, "You take grandma to hide behind the ice wall over there, and I'll try to move." ”
Li Qingyi frowned and refused, "No, if it's really a murderous agency, won't your little life be explained?" ”
"What then?"
Li Qingyi pondered: "Why don't we hide and hit it with ice!" ”
Chang Ning's eyes lit up, and he immediately started to move.
The three of them first built a hiding place for themselves, and then moved the ice cubes, borrowing the characteristics of the ice cubes that are easy to slide, and hit the jade in different directions at once.
Finally, in the fifth impact, the trap was triggered.
Li Qingyi heard the sound of something opening and closing, followed by a dense sound of brushing and clanging.
"It's an arrow." ”
Some arrows rushed to the ice blocks blocking them, directly shattering the ice cubes, which showed the great force, but fortunately, the ice cubes had already unloaded the strength of the arrows, and Changning could grasp them with his bare hands.
When the rain of arrows stopped, the ground around the jade cracked open, and a stone staircase appeared in front of the three of them.
"It's open!"
Changning let out a low exclamation, and his excited little face turned red, if they had been trapped here, without food or drink, they would be hungry and couldn't fight, how could they protect their grandmother.
Chang Yan held the fire fold high, "I'm in front, Changning is behind." ”
Li Qingyi was between the two, carefully going down the stone steps, and it was still pitch black, but the stone room below the steps was several times larger than the ice room just now, and the stone walls seemed to have been polished, very flat and smooth.
The light of the fire fold was very weak, and it couldn't shine on how high it was overhead, no matter how calm Li Qingyi's heart was, he couldn't help but be a little scared, and he felt even more creepy when he thought that there were probably many bones of the royal family of the previous dynasty buried here.
Changning approached the wall and found another oil tank on the wall, so he lit it with a fire breaker, and in an instant, the firelight flew along the smooth wall, like two dancing fire snakes, illuminating the dark stone room.
The corners of Chang Diaphragm's mouth twitched, "You can just order what you say, and you won't discuss it with us, what if it's exposed?" ”
Changning scratched his head, "It's so dark, you can't see the road and walk around, isn't it the same as looking for death!" Even if you don't get killed by the trap, it's easy to fall into the ditch! ”
She pointed forward, and they saw a stone bridge in front of them, and on either side was a pool of silent black water.
Li Qingyi's scalp was numb, "There won't be anything in here, right?" ”
Could it be that as soon as the three of them pass over it, something terrible will come up and bite people?
Changning Chang Yan also made a difficulty, this underground palace is treacherous, and it is difficult to move an inch without knowing the roots.
As he was hesitating, there was a sudden sound of boulders rubbing overhead......
*****
The Guo family of the Household Shilang Mansion.
Since Guo Qian's poisoning of his adoptive mother was revealed, the angry Guo family and Wei Laner have not appeared in front of the Guo family, and they came back today for the first time, I don't know what it was for.
Wei Laner's legs no longer need to sit in a wooden wheelchair, he walks slowly, and he can't usually see lameness, he carefully and very obediently greets his grandmother.
Mrs. Guo couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw her once favorite granddaughter become so cautious, and those angry complaints were unconsciously left behind, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with your body?" ”
Wei Lan'er shook his head lightly, "Lan Er's legs, it is impossible for them to recover to such a degree as before, they are already blessed by the gods and Buddhas, and Lan Er does not dare to ask for any more." ”
Old Madam Guo was distressed again when she heard this, and looked at Guo, "You mother, you should be more attentive." ”
Guo's face was a little unbearable, and Wei Lan'er hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't blame my mother, she has always been the most attentive to Lan'er. It was only at the instigation of the villain that he did some foolish things before. ”
Old Madam Guo waved her hand irritably, "Don't mention the past, you come back today, what's the matter?" ”
Guo Shi was about to speak when he heard this, and there was a report from someone outside: "Old lady, Lord Qin, the commander of Dongchang, has arrived at the mansion, and the second master has already gone to the front to greet him!" ”
Mrs. Guo's face changed slightly, and she stood up and asked, "Why is he here?" Didn't say anything? What did the second master say? ”
The girl shook her head, "No, the second master doesn't seem to know anything." ”
Mrs. Guo was suspicious, "Go and let people go to the front yard to watch, if there is anything, hurry up and report it." ”
"Yes, old lady."
Parvis.
Qin Zeng suddenly visited the Guo family, and the Guo family was like a great enemy.
The old lady of the Guo family and the eldest master Guo Lingyi were not there, and the second master Guo Chongli was at home, and the moment he heard that Qin Zeng had visited, he quickly went through all the recent events in the Guo family in his mind, thinking that no one in his family had offended this evil god, and he and his father did not offend him in the court......
He hurried out, and when he saw that Qin Zeng was only with a few entourages and no large number of Dongchang guards, he exhaled suddenly!
I'm not here to raid the house!
