Su Caixiao picked Li Shi up, moved to a chair against the wall, poured a glass of water, Li Shi spit out two mouthfuls of blood, just felt thirsty, and drank it all.

"Miss Su, the official is old, let me sit on the chair. Yang Guozhong was taken prisoner at this time, much gentler than when he spoke just now, Su Caixiao said: "I am a little demon girl, not a big lady, Lord Yang is not polite." After speaking, he still stayed by Li Shi's side, and he didn't look at the other party. Yang Guozhong is not very old, but he is usually pampered, and he is indeed a little tired, and he is used to ordering others, Su Caixiao said two sentences lukewarmly, and did not move, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "The old man is the right minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, one person is above ten thousand people, you two little dolls don't know the height of the sky, and if you are held hostage to me today, he will definitely be punished by the nine clans one day." Li Shi said: "I am the only one in my family, and I have no parents, let alone relatives. Yang Guozhong shuddered, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Little brother, where is the picture you said?" Li Shi said: "I don't know where the picture is, I don't know if there is anything in the world, just to catch the adult, just talk nonsense." Yang Guozhong was a little disappointed, but since he knew that this thing was on Baiyun Peak, as long as he captured it and dug three feet into the ground, were he afraid that he would not find it? As for why Li Shi knew, it was difficult to ask now, only in the future!

Li Shi rested for a while, his spirit was slightly better, the officers and soldiers outside had been bustling, the noisy Su Caixiao was upset, and Li Shi was worried about Duguxiao and others, thinking hard about how to escape, but no matter the time, place and people, they were all at a disadvantage, and they couldn't help but caress their foreheads. Looking around, there was only one table and two chairs in the room, and there was a bookshelf on the wall opposite the door, with a few books scattered around. Li Shi pointed and asked, "Cai'er, what kind of books are on it?" Su Caixiao replied: "It's all some Four Books and Five Classics and the like, what's the matter! Now I want to read?" Li Shi smiled: "I just asked casually, hey, who is this statue?" I saw a stone statue in the middle of the bookshelf, two feet high, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a mustache, a red crown and a golden crown, a robe and armor, it was really majestic, Su Caixiao shook his head: "I don't know, this is obviously a great general, but it is enshrined in the branch hall of my Five Elements Sect, it is really strange." ”

"You have not been here for a long time, and you may have been worshiped by the owner of this house before. ”

"You don't know this, in the previous dynasty, this was where the White Tiger Seat was located, and its importance was second only to the White Cloud Peak of the General Altar. Thirty years ago, the imperial court exterminated the religion, this place is close to Chang'an City, and there are many sect members, a great battle White Tiger Seat suffered heavy casualties, and the seat was forced to move to Qinzhou, which is further west. Later, the war in Tubo was tight, and the imperial court had no time to take care of the Five Elements Sect, and the original plan to attack Baiyun Peak was gone!"

"So it's deserted?"

"Yes, until the last time Chang'an Tangkou was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, there was no other suitable place for the time being, so Xintangkou moved here first. ”

"This is strange, look at this statue, the stone is yellow, the lines are black, I am afraid that it has been hundreds of years, the Five Elements Sect and the imperial court are so discordant, how can a great general be enshrined here?"

At this time, Yang Guozhong suddenly snorted and said contemptuously: "What a general, this is my Emperor Taizu, the famous Emperor Jing." Li Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then said to himself: "No wonder! No wonder!" Gu Daihui once told Li Shi in detail that the Li family's royal family flourished in Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Wei Dynasty, that is, the grandfather of the founding emperor Gaozu, and was later respected as Taizu. It's just that Emperor Taizu Jing is enshrined at the mouth of the Five Elements Church, and he still can't make sense, and he can't help but say: "It's strange, how could Emperor Taizu be offered here?" Su Caixiao also looked puzzled, really puzzled, it seems that only his father knows what's going on, Li Shi's eyebrows frowned slightly, obviously still thinking, Su Caixiao said: "Don't think about it, anyway, there is no good person in the court from top to bottom, everyone is the same." ”

"Bold, I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick at a young age, the emperors of my dynasty are wise and martial, and Wen Tao is martial. Yang Guozhong couldn't move, his mouth kept chattering, Su Caixiao secretly thought: "Seeing that today's fate is here, how good it would be for the two of us to wait quietly for a while, but with such a nasty old guy by his side, he can't say anything gentle and considerate." The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he suddenly picked up a broken sword from the ground, slashed at the stone statue, and said in his mouth: "What Emperor Jing, I think it's a broken stone!" Looking closer, it turned out that there was a bronze statue in the stone statue, and the broken sword split the stone statue and then split it on the bronze statue, shaking the stone statue into pieces, but the bronze statue did not move, leaving only a sword mark. Li Shi and Yang Guozhong were also surprised, the bronze statue was exactly the same as the stone statue, but the size was different. Su Caixiao's heart moved, he reached out and touched the bronze statue, pushed hard, and sure enough, he shook slightly, held it with both hands and tried to turn it, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and the wall behind the bookcase was sunk into a boxy piece, revealing a big hole under the wall, black rumbling, and he couldn't see the depth inside. Li Shi asked, "But what is the secret passage?" Su Caixiao didn't dare to confirm it, and shook his head blankly, "Take Lord Yang down and have a look, if it is the secret passage built by your Five Elements Sect, we will be saved." ”

There are stone steps under the wall, although I don't know what is inside, but the two of them suddenly grabbed a straw in drowning, and they were inexplicably excited, after all, this was the seat of the Five Elements Sect before, and it was normal to build a secret passage in order to avoid the enemy. Li Shi lit an oil lamp and took the lead in walking inside, Yang Guozhong and Su Caixiao followed behind Li Shi one after the other. As soon as they got down the stone steps, they heard the hole above buzz shut, and the three of them were startled, Su Caixiao said: "There must be a mechanism here, connected to the bronze statue above." Li Shi nodded, looked around with an oil lamp, and sure enough, there was a groove behind the stone steps, and there was also a bronze statue inside, but it was very different from the image outside, and it was definitely not Li Hu. Li Shi stretched out his hand and touched it, and fell to the ground with a snap, "Oops!" After a closer look, the bronze statue seat had been cut off by Qi Qi, Su Caixiao saw this and walked up to the entrance of the cave again, only to see that the entire top was covered with copper plates, only there was a gap at the mouth of the mechanism, and he stretched out his fingers to touch them, these copper plates were only five or six inches thick, and there was a wall pressed on the copper plate, which could not be opened anyway.

Su Caixiao walked down and shook his head and said, "Li Shi, it seems that we are trapped here, and there are thick copper plates on it. Li Shidao: "I don't know why the mechanism inside was destroyed, but fortunately, Lord Yang is here, even if there is no mechanism inside or outside, someone will pry the mouth of the mechanism open." Yang Guozhong snorted without saying a word, Su Caixiao smiled, stepped forward and hugged Li Shi: "How is the injury, let's rest here for a while, let's go inside and have a look." Li Shi coughed from time to time, but the two true qi in his body, one yin and one yang, were constantly replenished, and he was much better at this time: "It's no big deal, let's go around first." ”

Su Caixiao said hello, Yang Guozhong followed the two and walked inside, only to see the houses one after another, the aisles were very wide, each room was also very large, and some rooms also had some iron brackets, which were rusty. Su Caixiao became more and more suspicious, and couldn't help but say: "Looking at this layout, it doesn't look like a prisoner's prison or a secret passage for escape, it's really strange." Li Shi stopped, held Su Caixiao's hand, and said, "Cai'er, you and I live and die together today, and now you still call me Li Shi." ”

Su Caixiao's face turned red when he heard this, and he was silent for a while, and finally said ashamedly: "Li Lang!" The eyelashes are drooping, the red lips are delicate, and in the dim light, Xia Fei's cheeks are full of two eyes, bright and beautiful, Li Shi is fascinated, if it is not for others, I really want to kiss it.

Li Shi sighed, eased his mood slightly, and said, "This place is so wide, and there are some iron frames, which should be used to store things!"

"This aisle can accommodate several people walking at the same time, could it be that the White Tiger used to put food in the past?"

"Spend so much effort to build a granary? Probably not, and this place is so close to Chang'an City, you can't buy any grain. ”

As he spoke, Li Shi suddenly clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I understand!"

"Got it!"

"Back then, this place must have been built to store something important, but I was afraid of being discovered by the people in the government, so the bronze statue of Li Hu was used as a mechanism outside, and a layer of stone statues was wrapped on it. If the stone statue is not broken, no one will know the mechanism of the bronze statue, and the secret room will not be discovered. ”

Yang Guozhong also felt justified on the side, and secretly admired, Su Caixiao nodded again and again, and muttered: "Then what did the sect want to store back then? While talking, the two passed a few more rooms, and suddenly Li Shi said "Huh", took an oil lamp and shone it carefully on the wall, only to see the sword marks on it. At this point, I can no longer go straight, I can only turn right, there are still many sword marks on the walls on both sides of the aisle, and it looks very strange under the oil lamp. Li Shi said: "Cai'er, be careful!" Su Caixiao grabbed Li Shi's arm tightly, and Yang Guozhong was also a little afraid of this gloomy scene, and followed behind the two without pulling a foot. The three of them walked through a few more rooms, the sword marks on the wall went from more to less, from less to nothing, and they were walking suddenly "dang long", as if they had kicked something, the oil lamp shone on the ground, the cold light flashed, it turned out to be a long sword. Li Shi leaned over and picked it up, shaking slightly, buzzing.
