Chapter 800: The Mysterious Corpse in the Prison (23)

Chu Xunyu opened the human skin on the fire and broke the faint flames, which were densely written with men, and it was a seal script, it seemed that this person named Mi Yan seemed to have left something else, so he muttered to himself: "Then let's see what other secrets are here." "Keep your head down and read.

The content on the human skin seems to be a letter, or a message, not a written record, but the content of this letter is very strange, as if Mi Li felt that he might not be able to come back, so he left a letter and handed it to his successor, hoping to bring something back to the royal city after three years to rescue himself and complete the plan.

Mu Yuan asked curiously: "Why does he speak in such a tone?

Chu Xunyu read it and replied: "I understand the general meaning, it should be that Mi Yan himself is quite desperate, of course, it is not that his life is in danger, nor is it his last words, but he feels very bad about his future, according to the above, he has been tossing here for so long, and has spent countless financial resources, Manpower, the result was very effective, the task given to him by Zhuang Ji was not completed, and he dug out a plague beast, lost a small array, and was stabbed to it, he felt that he would inevitably suffer a very serious punishment when he went to Wangcheng, at least he would be transferred out of here, so he also packed his luggage, but what kind of consideration did he believe that it would be to transfer other people in the family to continue to dominate here It is not yet known, so he specially wrote a letter, hoping that the successor can inherit the task and save himself at the right time。 ”

In the letter, Mi Li's attitude is very vague and can even be said to be tangled, because he tosses and tosses here here, and the results are not good, although at the last moment, he found a breakthrough in soul research from the ancient corpse transported from the ancient Luo Kingdom, but suddenly received an order from Wang Cheng, let Mi Li take all the cups back to the court to report on his work, so he was a little panicked, the bad encounter in this place was reported to Wang Cheng as early as last year, and there is no news until now, I thought that I should roll up and leave last year, but Wang Cheng did not express his position, which surprised me, and I planned to take advantage of Wang Cheng's silence to speed up the research progress here, so as to make a result to report to Zhuang Ji, Anyway, it can be said that the past, but after half a year, suddenly came such an episode, Mi Yan thought that most of the punishment results came out, so go, nine times out of ten not to go to prison will also be sent to do coolies, suddenly like falling into the abyss, but unexpectedly to make the expression serious, and listen to the tone is a terrible event, because to tell himself, the king Zhuang Ji summoned all the cupers who have official positions in the royal city to come back from all over southern Xinjiang, it seems that it is not to simply punish himself, and the envoy also said that the royal city did not want to punish him。

But it's always good to be prepared, the letter specifically stated that he left his own backhand, he must be very sure that the successor is still his own family, the letter is very clear that if he does not come back, then the descendants can take their own private "latch key" at an appropriate time to enter the dungeon of the royal city, not only to save themselves, but also to complete all things.

This is a letter with no beginning or end, and outsiders like Chu Xunyu can't contact the cause and effect, but one thing is certain, that is, the matter of the Lost City is hopeful, and finally this trip was not in vain, Mu Yuan didn't know why, and asked: "Ye Langzhong, I see that you are overjoyed, what is the explanation?"

"This buddy named 'Mi Li' left us the key. Chu Xunyu happily pointed to the human skin letter and said, "Bajie, the lost golden city gate is open. ”

"Oh?" Mu Yuan and Wangchen were both surprised, and when they came over and looked at the human skin, Mu Yuan asked, "What is this called 'latch key'?"

"It's the key. Chu Xunyu replied in the affirmative.

"No, I'm asking what it is. ”

"It's the key. Chu Xunyu was anxious, "Let you read more, it means literally, there is no other meaning, there were no locks and keys in the pre-Qin period, and the home burglars were called 'latches', that is, the door latch, and a pole was inserted behind the door; ”

"Understood. Mu Yuan thought for a while and said, "This kid can, according to what we say in the Ming Dynasty now, this guy carried the emperor behind his back and got the key to the prison in the royal city, right?" ”

"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, "This is a big crime of the Nine Clans, the emperor's private cell dares to use his brains, this guy is not small." ”

"Come on. Mu Yuan rolled up his sleeves, "Let's work, let's leave after finding the key, now we'd better pray that this guy still has a map and the key to put together, and we don't have to worry about how to go." ”

But Forget the dust didn't move, Chu Xunyu asked strangely, "What's wrong with the seniors?"

Forget Chen pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There are too many things I don't understand, there are many unsolved things in this matter, but it's useless to talk about this now, now look for where the latch key is." ”

"Hmm. Chu Xunyu nodded, "According to what I showed in my heart, it should be in the house, not too far, but it should be hidden very deeply, after all, the fewer people who knew about this matter at that time, the better, otherwise I would wait to be divided by the emperor's five horses." ”

Forget Chen nodded, without saying more, the three of them carefully searched the house inside and out, all the murals on the wall were taken off, and even where there were cracks, Chu Xunyu used a long sword to pry them open, and there was no result, several times Mu Yuan couldn't help but want to break the earth-colored skeletons on the wall with his hands, but when he thought of the methods of those cup masters, he couldn't help but feel cold, forget it, lest he be killed and brought back to life by silence.

Since this room can't be found, it has to expand the scope, and the three of them can go out, Mu Yuan pointed to the last door and asked, "Have we been in this room?"

"It doesn't seem to be. ”

"Then let's do it first. Mu Yuan pushed the door panel first and lowered his head to get in.

The three of them entered the house, and found that there were many cases here, full of dust, only in the southwest corner stood a tall and thin cabinet, which was too old, covered with dust, and almost merged with the wall, and it was difficult to see without looking carefully. Chu Xunyu nodded with the tip of his sword, and there was no change, so he nodded to Mu Yuan with confidence, Mu Yuan put his mouth up, blew, and wiped it with his sleeve, wanting to see what kind of thing it was, it felt weird to stand here.

Wipe off the palm-sized dust, revealing a piece of peacock green, which can drop the slag when you touch it, Chu Xunyu said strangely: "But it's strange again, it is said that the bronze civilization of the ancient Dian Kingdom is prosperous, and even the cabinets in the underground are made of copper?"

"Cabinet? Is this a bronze cabinet?" Mu Yuan stretched out his head in disbelief to look left and right, "There must be items stored in the cabinet, Ye Langzhong split it to see what was inside." ”

Chu Xunyu touched the edge of the cabinet, there was a seam, inserted it with a long sword, launched a brute force prying, and in an instant a gust of yin wind struck, all the fire folds in his hands were extinguished, and the darkness immediately swallowed everything, the three of them were shocked, and Forget Chen hurriedly blew the fire folds again, Chu Xunyu glanced at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "The underground here, closed and windless, where did this annoying yin wind come from, there must be something strange, stand away, in case there is fraud." ”
