Li Qiufeng returned to the house and had just drunk a cup of tea, but he heard someone knocking lightly on the door, but it was Zhuang Hengyun's voice: "Two brothers, let's go." ”

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei walked out of the door with their blades, but saw that dozens of people had gathered in the courtyard, and Yu Changyuan, Xu Yingyang and others had already arrived. Yu Changchang left ten Zhuang Ding to stay in the temple, let Zhuang Hengyun lead the way, and the group left the lama temple in a mighty way, and went straight to the north peak of Lotus Mountain.

This time, everyone walked much faster than the first time, but in more than an hour, they crossed the north peak of Lotus Mountain and arrived outside the red wall of Kangling. Zhuang Hengyun led the way first, and went straight north along the red wall, until he reached the end of the red wall, and in the night, he saw several huge branches stretching out from the wall. Li Qiufeng had seen this big tree on the roof of the wing house in the apse last time, and he secretly wondered why Zhuang Hengyun didn't go over the wall this time, and actually came here directly.

At this time, everyone stopped, thirty Zhuang Ding squatted under the wall and guarded carefully, Zhuang Hengyun whispered to everyone: "There were originally soldiers guarding the tomb here, and they were heavily guarded, but now the army has withdrawn outside the imperial tomb, and there are no guards here, so we have saved a lot of effort by entering from here." ”

Yu Chang said: "Beyond this wall, it is the location marked on the map of Brother Yan. Let's go in and talk about it. ”

Zhuang Hengyun jumped on the wall, observed it for a moment, and then made a gesture to everyone under the wall. Yu Changchang said in a low voice: "Everyone go in!"

Everyone performed light skills and jumped into the wall one after another. He Yi lowered the rope on the wall again, and let the thirty Zhuang Ding follow in.

After everyone entered the imperial tomb, they didn't even dare to make a sound. The last time I looked at this place from afar above the wing, I only saw a big tree, and then I found that there was a small palace behind the big tree. Li Qiufeng saw a plaque hanging at the door of the hall, and under the starlight, he saw three big characters written on it: "Xuanwu Palace".

Yu Changyuan whispered to Yan Dufei: "Brother Yan, can you take out your map again for everyone to refer to?"

Yan Dufei took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground. At this time, there was no night guard in this backyard, and everyone was no longer afraid. Zhuang Hengyun took out the fire fold, and after shaking the fire, everyone looked at the map together. But behind the trees and stones, there was an open space. Yu Changchang pointed to the open space and said: "This place is this Xuanwu Palace, but I don't know why Mr. Qiao didn't mark it on the map." ”

Yan Dufei said: "Let's go to this Xuanwu Hall first and see if there is anything weird." ”

Yu Changyuan and Xu Yingyang glanced at each other and said, "Third brother, you take our brothers from the Five Tiger Villa to guard outside, and the other brothers go in with me." ”

He Yi agreed, and restrained thirty Zhuang Ding to hide along the red wall. Yu Changchang took the lead and rushed to the door of the Xuanwu Palace. I saw that the door of the temple was shut, and a great lock was hung on the door. He turned his head to Zhuang Hengyun and said, "Second brother, open this idea." ”

Zhuang Hengyun rushed forward, took out a thin wire from his arms, and turned it around in the keyhole a few times, only to hear a soft sound of "click", and the lock was opened. Zhuang Hengyun took off the lock, but did not make a sound. Yan Dufei praised on the side: "Second Zhuang master, there is really yours." ”

Zhuang Hengyun said: "The carving insect sub-plan is not enough to dry. As he spoke, he gently pushed the door of the hall open, only to feel a cold air rushing out of the hall, which made him shiver. Everyone saw that the hall was dark, and their hearts were uneasy.

Yu Chang saw that everyone was cowering, and said in a deep voice: "There is no advance or retreat today, everyone is still afraid of a bird?!" After saying that, he was about to break the fire from Zhuang Hengyun's hands, and when the fire was shaken, he stepped into the Xuanwu Palace.

When everyone saw Yu Chang enter the main hall, their courage suddenly grew stronger, and they followed in. When I entered the palace, I found that this palace was really small and pitiful. There are about ten steps in the length and width of the hall, and there is a clay statue of the Xuanwu Emperor in the middle, and the two generals of the turtle and snake are on the left and right. There were several dishes on the table, but there were no offerings. On the left and right walls, there are some fairy ladies painted on them, but they are also lifelike.

Yu Chang said: "How did you build such a small temple in the corner of this imperial mausoleum?"

Xu Ying said: "Lord Yu Zhuang doesn't know, when Emperor Chengzu was in power, he respected Emperor Xuanwu as the god of royal guardianship. In the capital, there are Xuanwu temples in the yamen such as prisons, bureaus, divisions, factories, and warehouses to worship the statue of Xuanwu Emperor. In the tenth year of Yongle, Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, was ordered to lead more than 200,000 soldiers and men to build a real martial arts temple in Wudang Mountain. It is said that the Emperor Xuanwu is the god of water and fire, so there is also a Xuanwu Temple on the north side of the palace, which is to suppress the fire. Looking at the layout of the imperial mausoleum, it is quite similar to the imperial palace, and this Xuanwu Hall was built here, thinking that it was also to pray for the protection of the Xuanwu Emperor and avoid the imperial tomb from encountering fire. ”

Yu Chang said: "Let's look around to see if there is anything strange in this hall." ”

The people searched around the temple, but the temple was extremely simple, except for the three clay statues, there was only one offering table, and nothing else. Everyone searched twice, but found nothing suspicious, so they had to look at each other. Yu Chang said: "Brother Yan's map indicates that there is a tree and a monkey, and now the big tree is still there, but where is this monkey going to find it?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Could it be that the monkey is not successful outside the hall?" Yu Changchang said: "Second child, you go outside and talk to the third child, let everyone take a look on the left to see if there is a stone that looks like a monkey." ”

Zhuang Hengyun agreed, and then walked out of the palace gate. Yu Changchang paced a few steps in the hall and said to Yan Dufei: "Mr. Qiao's grave, is it near here?"

Yan Dufei said: "Senior Brother Qiao didn't say anything in the letter, only said that after getting the map in the imperial study, he found his tomb, and he would know the location of the edict and treasure left by the first emperor." ”

Yu Changchang nodded, turned around in front of the offering table a few times with his hands, looked up at the statue of the Emperor Xuanwu, and then walked to the clay statue, stretched out his hand to stretch the fire fold behind the clay statue, carefully observed it for a long time, and walked back disappointed, saying: "There is nothing unusual behind the clay statue......

At this time, Zhuang Hengyun walked into the hall and said to Yu Changyuan: "The third brother and I took my brothers to search carefully before and after this Xuanwu Palace, and we didn't find any monkeys, not even stones like monkeys. ”

Yu Changchang was anxious, and said after a pause: "I've been tossing for almost an hour, but I haven't found anything about it, do you want us to go home empty-handed?"

Li Qiufeng suddenly said: "Master Yu Zhuang doesn't have to be anxious, I think there must be something strange in this hall." ”

Yu Changchang said: "What is Brother Li's opinion?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Everyone, please see, the dishes on this offering table are still there, but there is no half of the offerings, and the candlestick does not know where to go, and no one has been worshipping in this Xuanwu Hall for a long time." Isn't it strange that everyone looks at the floor of the hall and the offering table, but there is not a trace of dust?"

Everyone listened to Li Qiufeng's words, and immediately looked around, and sure enough, they found that the hall was surprisingly clean. Zhuang Heng went and said: "Brother Li is right, this hall is so clean, there must be people who come to clean it from time to time." It's strange why some people come to this little temple so often......"

Li Qiufeng said: "When the second master opened the door of the palace, there was an extremely cold air gushing out from the hall. This Xuanwu Hall has no windows on all sides, but where does this cold air come from?"

Yu Chang said: "I also noticed a cold air just now, but now the cold air is gone." It may also be that the door of this hall has been closed for a long time, and some yin qi has accumulated, but it may not be said. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "When my brother was on an errand in Ouchi, he also went to some palaces that had not been inhabited for many years, but he had never encountered such a cold air. This cold air must have come from somewhere in the hall, but after we came in, we opened the door of the hall, and after such a long time, the qi inside the hall and outside the hall blended with each other, and we couldn't feel the existence of this cold air. ”

At this point, he turned and walked to the door, closed the door of the temple again, and said to the people, "Wait a little longer and see if there is any cold." ”

Sure enough, in less than half a pillar of incense, the hall became cold again. Yu Changchang said with a smile: "Brother Li is really amazing, this hall is really weird." ”

Zhuang Hengyun's heart moved, and he said to Yu Changchang: "Big brother, give the fire fold to my brother." ”

Yu Changchang handed the fire fold to Zhuang Hengyun. Zhuang Hengyun held the fire fold in his hand and stood still. I saw the flame of the fire fold whirring, and it went straight to the door of the temple.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the clay statue of Emperor Xuanwu, and Yu Chang said: "The wind is coming from the clay statue, there must be something strange about this clay statue!"
