Ye Feng, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened.

Originally, he had been more alert when he slept, and coupled with the thunderous snoring sound that always lingered in his ears from Zhang Fatzi, who lived in the same tent, he couldn't sleep at all, so as soon as the curtain of the tent was opened, he woke up.

The person who walked in was Sun Laoer.

He glanced at Ye Feng, who woke up and looked at him, did not speak, and walked straight to Zhang Fat, who was slumped on the bed and snoring like thunder, stretched out his hand and slapped him hard, and shouted loudly: "Wake up, wake up!"

The fat flesh of Zhang Fatzi's whole body trembled, and he suddenly sat up, looked at Sun Lao Er in front of him with worried eyes, and then looked at Ye Feng, who had just woken up, and then eased up for a while, looked at the pitch black outside the tent, and muttered: "What are you doing? It's not dawn yet, what are you doing to wake people up in this shock? You know, disturbing people's dreams is like killing parents......

Sun Lao Er ignored his whining and chattering complaints at all, and only said: "Get dressed and get ready to go." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

I don't know what day it is now, but this black light is going to be ready to go?

Didn't you say you had to wait until dawn to continue?

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi were both suspicious, and they had no choice but to put on their clothes and follow out of the tent.

When I went out, Tang Da, Xie Zhenliang and the Helian Tie were all ready, standing next to the fire, even the old man Mei who had been drunk was there, the difference was that he didn't have a wine gourd in his hand now, his face didn't look drunk, and he looked at the bonfire in front of him with a serious face and didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why do you have to set off before dawn?"

He looked left and right for a while, but he didn't see the four sergeants sent by Governor Zhao, and he felt a little strange.

Sun Lao Er seemed to know his thoughts, and said coldly: "The four of them have drunk the water of the sweat medicine, and it will take at least two or three hours to wake up." ”

Zhang Fatzi was taken aback, and asked in a lost voice: "Who ordered the sweat medicine?"

Tang Da next to the fire suddenly laughed and said, "Naturally, I ordered it." ”

The Tang Sect in Shuzhong is not only powerful in secret weapons, but also proficient in the art of using poison, and it is just a trivial matter to get some sweat medicine or something.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Tang Da shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have to ask Senior Sun about this, he secretly asked me to do this." ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that when Sun Lao Er, who was sitting around the bonfire last night, was talking about the confusing high-minded talk in the clouds, he once picked up a dead branch and scratched something on the ground seemingly unintentionally.

Thinking about it now, maybe it was at that time that he was communicating with Tang Da who was sitting next to him in this way.

But there were no outsiders at that time, why did he use such a secret way to communicate? Ye Feng was a little puzzled, perhaps, maybe he was guarding against the four sergeants standing guard around the camp?

Without waiting for him to ask, Sun Lao Er said lightly: "I just agreed to take you and your people in, but they are not your people." ”

That sounds fine, but when you think about it, it's a bit of a joke.

These four sergeants were sent by Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an, to assist Ye Feng and them, but now Sun Lao Er said that they were "not his people", it was none other than these four soldiers

Is there any other purpose than to help?

Before he could think about it, Sun Lao Er had already beckoned everyone, picked up the sand cover and extinguished the remnants of the bonfire, he looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky to identify the direction, picked up a big black cloth bag, and the group began to set off.

The big mound in front of him is said to be the sealing mound of the Qin Emperor's mausoleum, but this sealing mound is too huge, more than a hundred zhang in circumference.

The grass here is overgrown, up to the knees, and it is difficult to walk in the dark, so it is particularly difficult to walk.

Zhang Fatzi was in a hurry for days, and just now he was forced to get up early by the old man Sun Laoer, obviously he didn't wake up, and after walking for a while, he began to curse in a low voice, and he didn't know what he was scolding.

Although the road is difficult, Zhang Fatzi has achieved light work after all, and there is nothing, but it is difficult to understand Zhen Liang, who is a weak scholar.

He didn't know martial arts, he couldn't compare to other people who were light and healthy, and his steps were like flying, he stumbled along the way, he didn't know how many falls he fell, and gradually fell at the end of the team, if it wasn't for Ye Feng slowing down his pace and staying to help, he was afraid that he would fall behind.

He naturally knew that Sun Lao Er was looking for a suitable thief cave to go down to the imperial mausoleum underground palace, but when he was in Huashan, he had personally seen Sun Lao Er leading the Sun family, and the exploration and excavation technology easily dug a passage from the secret cave of Huashan and rescued Ye Feng and Tang Da.

At this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior Sun, we are looking so hard, why don't we find the right direction and dig a passage by ourselves?"

Sun Lao Er walked at the front of the line, didn't even look back, and said with a sneer: "Dig a passage? Do you know how this imperial tomb was built?"

Xie Zhenliang shook his head and didn't know.

Sun Lao Er said: "This mound is mixed with white ash, sand and loess, and poured layer by layer with boiling glutinous rice soup, which is also mixed with a large number of iron nails and the like, which is extremely strong. Ordinary axes can only leave a white spot when they are chiseled, and it is difficult to move it. ”

He smiled: "Just a few of us, if we want to dig a passage to the underground palace, it won't take months or even half a year, I'm afraid it's just a dream." ”

Hearing his words, Xie Zhenliang was stunned and speechless.

The fat man in front also closed his mouth and stopped cursing.

What Sun Lao Er said is recorded in the history books, and Zhang Fatzi has read a lot of books, so he naturally knows that what he said is true.

The group marched silently, and the atmosphere became dull.

At this moment, Sun Lao Er and Old Man Mei, who were walking at the front of the team, suddenly glanced at each other and stopped.

It seems to have reached the ground.

There was a mossy boulder in the weeds in front of them, could it be that they said that the passage they were looking for was under this big boulder?

But in such a secret place, Sun Lao Er is so familiar with the way, among so many thieves, how did he know that this one can go straight to the underground palace?

Ye Feng's heart was flooded with that question again, it seemed that this second son must have been here before, and it had a great relationship with this passage.

Before he had time to think about it, he saw Sun Lao Er turn his head and shout at Helian Tie, a black ghost like a black iron tower behind him: "What are you waiting for?

Helian Tie responded

sound, stepped forward, climbed the big boulder with both hands, let out a shout, and lifted it hard.

Sure enough, it was a natural divine power, and this big boulder was hundreds of catties, and he rolled to the side with a bone, revealing a swarthy circular hole below.

It seems that this is the passage that Sun Lao Er said.

However, Sun Lao Er was not in a hurry, but sat down on the edge of the cave, took out the wine gourd on his waist, and took a big sip.

After drinking, he reached out and handed the wine gourd to Old Man Mei.

Old man Mei was not polite, and took a big mouthful.

Everyone watched the two old men sitting on the edge of the cave and began to drink wine unhurriedly, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and looked at the two of them coldly in a daze.

The old man Mei took a sip of wine, but reached out and handed the wine gourd to Tang Da in the back.

Tang Da took the wine gourd, sniffed it to his nose, and suddenly his expression showed that he seemed to understand something, and he didn't say anything, just took a big sip.

Ye Feng and the others were taken aback, and Sun Lao Er said faintly: "This passage has been closed for at least a few decades, and it is inevitable that there will be some poisonous miasma and the like, I have a little good medicine in this wine gourd, which is quite effective for these slight poisons, but you can drink it or not." ”

After Tang Da finished drinking, he passed the wine gourd behind him, Ye Feng took it and smelled it, and there was a strong smell of medicine from the wine gourd, and without thinking about it, he took a big sip.

After listening to Sun Laoer's words, everyone knew that this wine was beneficial and harmless, and after a while, everyone took turns to drink it.

After a while, Sun Lao Er stood up, took out a few torches from the large cloth bag he was carrying behind his back, and distributed them to everyone.

He lit one of them and threw it into the hole with a flick of his hand.

The torch rolled far away in the hole, and the flame flickered, but it was not extinguished.

Sun Lao Er nodded and said, "It seems that it's almost." ”

After saying that, he took the lead in burrowing into the hole.

Behind him, others followed suit.

The passage in the cave is not high, and it can only accommodate a person to walk slowly with his waist down, Zhang Fatman's body is bloated and fat, and he hesitated for a long time before he was the last to get into the hole, and slowly walked at the end.

This posture of bending over and bowing his head forward must have made him very uncomfortable, and it was not long before his mouth began to curse quietly, but the voice was very low, and the sound echoed in the hole, and he could not hear what he was swearing.

Ye Feng was moving forward, and at the same time, he carefully observed the passage by the light of the torch.

The passage is round, not large, and the walls look irregular and rough, and it seems that the excavation was hasty.

There is no reinforcement in this passage, but for decades, the cave has been clean, and there is no trace of soil collapse on the ground, which shows that the soil around it is really as Sun Lao Er said, extremely hard.

The whole passage did not bend at all, it was almost a straight road straight and diagonally downward, so deep that it made people feel a little creepy.

The group silently didn't know how long they had been walking along the passage, and when they felt a little upset and unbearable, suddenly the flame of the torches in everyone's hands was beating for a while, and the air around them, which had been a little stuffy, became fresher.

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they knew that they were about to reach the exit.
