Chapter 67: Re-entering the Stone Chamber

The water in the release pond is almost exhausted, leaving only small fish struggling to stiffen in the shallow depression at the bottom of the pond. Ji An stood by the railing by the pool with his hands behind his back, and kept calmly staring at the struggling little fish, just like that. The soldier next to him asked several times if he wanted to go down, but he didn't answer. It wasn't until the red sunset shone on the scales of the fish, reflecting a dazzling bright spot, that he seemed to wake up. He rubbed his sour eyes and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go down." ”

More than a dozen soldiers slid down the rope to the bottom of the pool, and Ji'an grabbed the rope and went down together.

There was very little water left, just below your ankles, and it wasn't difficult to walk all the way. Everyone carried the wind lantern and walked slowly step by step. Walking to the stone gate that was blown open, Ji An looked at the rubble, and then asked people to raise the wind lamp to look at the blast mouth. I secretly wondered: Why did these monks put the explosives on the top of the stone gate instead of under the stone gate? Looking at the ugly appearance of the explosion, and I didn't want to go through accurate calculations, I really almost looked down on these monks.

Some soldiers climbed up the ladder to clean up the rubble left behind in the blast mouth, and replied that there was a stone chamber inside the blast hole. Giana snorted, and the two soldiers climbed in with wind lanterns first, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, they stretched out their hands to beckon everyone to come up. When I climbed up, I saw that this was actually a stone room higher than the ground, and the stone room was full of stones, and there were a few crooked clay pots, shaking and shaking, and there was nothing in it, even if it was hundreds of years, it would have been dry a long time ago. Other than that, there is nothing else. There is still some stagnant water in the stone room, but it is not much, Ji'an is a little puzzled, this huge release pond, there is naturally a lot of water, where does it flow?

Ji'an looked closely at the stone chamber and his intuition told him that there must be something very important here. He ordered the soldiers to carefully search every corner of the stone chamber and not let go of any suspicious objects.

On the intact wall, there were several lines carved in a zigzag, these lines formed a strange shape, which Ji'an could not read, but attracted his attention, he walked over, and slowly touched the lines with his hands, the lines were carved, the traces were old, and at intervals there was a depression of different sizes, as if something had been embedded in this place before. There are seven such depressions. He touched it carefully again, and through the rough surface, and the little powder attached to his fingers, he was convinced once again that there had indeed been something embedded in the depressions, perhaps not so long ago, because the powder was new.

"Someone dug those things up from here, who is it? who else but the few people who went down to the hole?" thought to Gian, his eyes narrowing.

A soldier behind him said, "My lord, look at these stones." Ji An slowly turned his head, and several soldiers were holding several large stones with strange words carved on the surface of the stones. Ji An looked at the stone wall where the blast was located, most of which had been blown up, and he looked through the rubble pile, and found that there were many stones engraved with strange words. Moreover, the stones are large and small, and there is even a lot of powder, and it is impossible to restore the stone wall.

The monk said that below this was a stone refining domain. Is there only such a stone room? Stone Refining Domain, Stone Refining Domain, where is the stone refined? Where is it? He looked back at the wall suddenly, and suddenly understood what was embedded in the wall, it must be a stone, maybe it was a Yin Soldier Talisman.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and with a bang, a wind lamp was blown out. Ji An was shocked, in the early years, for the sake of military salary, he had also done some grave digging and digging work with Huan Wen, and he also heard that if you encounter an unprovoked wind underground, you must not fall in love with the war, and you should leave as soon as possible. Although he didn't know the rules of tomb robbing, now that he had encountered it, he still remembered the taboo he had heard of.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers to move a few large stones that were more formed and had more words, and left here as soon as possible. Walking out, the wind became more and more cloudy, and several lights were blown out along the way, only one was left, Ji'an felt more and more bad, and kept urging everyone to evacuate as soon as possible, and walked to the release pool, it was already dark outside, and the soldiers around it had lit a lot of torches. He subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black circuit, and felt as if a pair of eyes flashed in the darkness, as if there were still a few long silver things floating by. He had already begun to panic in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he grabbed the rope that hung over and took the lead in climbing it.

In the dark, a pair of long, cold eyes stared at it all. Seeing that all the soldiers had gone up, he flicked the stone dust on his purple robe and turned around and walked back to the stone chamber. Yes, he is Xiahou Ti. He came back again without noticing.

The explosives placed by the monks were originally placed in the middle of the stone gate, corresponding to the lower part of the stone chamber, which would not destroy the words on the stone wall at all.

Xiahou Ti originally just wanted to explore the cave before leaving, to find out what was being refined here, and to build five purgatory-like caves of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to achieve it. It just so happened that Ji'an was also playing the idea here, and he did him a small favor, blowing up the stone chamber for him, saving him a lot of trouble. While it was dark, he needed to explore the entire cave again as soon as possible, and he had to leave before dawn, and he had to hurry.

Ji An didn't dare to spend the night in the temple, so he directly carried the stone to see Huan Wen.

When he saw Huan Wen, he briefly told Huan Wen about Yue Neng, several monks, and what he found in the stone room. He is different from others, he does not like to take credit or exaggerate his abilities, and he does not bother and say everything in detail. He would only briefly say what he thought was useful and important, so that Huan Wen would have the patience to listen.

Huan Wen understood: first, the Yin Soldier Talisman may really exist, second, the Runeng Temple is related to the Yin Soldier Talisman, and third, the stone in the stone chamber was taken away. Fourth, there are strange words on the stones.

He asked Gian, "What's next?"

Ji An replied: "According to the inference of his subordinates, the stones in this stone room should have been taken away by Huan Yi Han Yue and others who escaped not long ago, and maybe the palm hat." Seven stones, it is estimated that each of them has a share. So there has to be a way to catch them and get them back. ”

Huan Wen nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Also, ask Mr. Chisel to identify the words on the stones and see what is written. ”

Huan Wen raised his eyebrows, looked at Ji An, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Ji An continued: "Also, continue to interrogate the abbot of the Runeng Temple, Yue Neng, he must know a lot of secrets. It's just that this old monk's mouth is very hard, and he can't move roughly... ”

"Why can't you be rude?" Huan Wen looked at Ji An suspiciously, "I really haven't seen anyone who dares not to cooperate with the government in Jingzhou City." ”

"The subordinates are afraid that the movement will be too big and it will alarm the other side. Ji'an lowered his voice to remind. That side naturally refers to Yu Liang.

This sentence really reminds that Huan Wen doesn't want to have a gap with Yu Liang yet, at least not yet. He must ensure Yu Liang's absolute trust in him. So he said to Ji'an: "Let those monks go first, the temple is here, and the old monk will not run." First, I sent someone to keep an eye on it. I don't want to be caught by that kid right now. ”

"Then do you want to tell them about today?"

"Tell, of course I have to tell. That's what it is, it's up to us to say it. Huan Wen had already planned how to tell Yu Liang.
