In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Quan was still immersed in last night's sweet dream, so he was called up early by Bai Chong. The two of them went out of the inn and came to the forest near the Yongsi Tomb, at this time, Bai Cheng took out a metal compass, the size of a palm, round, copper-colored, and in the middle was a compass, marked with the words east, west, north and south. There are also inner and outer double disks outside the compass, which are marked with the words Qian, Kun, Chen, and Chou. Yuan Quan didn't know why, and asked, "Master, what is this play." ”

"This one, called Feng Shui Compass, was asked by me and your uncle, and it came in handy today. Bai Cheng said.

Yuan Quan still didn't know why, and said, "Master, what's the use of this feng shui compass." ”

Bai Cheng said: "In ancient times, the location of this emperor's mausoleum was very particular, and Feng Shui masters would be invited to come to survey, and they would use this. ”

Yuan Quandao: "Isn't the tomb of Zhao Gou Lao'er there, and we don't choose the tomb site, why use this." ”

"It's true that Gaozong Zhao's tomb is there, but if you dig it up like that, it will inevitably lead to a bloody disaster. Since ancient times, the imperial tomb is the most taboo to be stolen, and there have always been capable people who have set up Qimen Dunjia, and there are many organs inside. Bai Cheng said, his steps slowly moving with the hands of the compass.

Yuan Quan hurriedly followed and said, "Master, since this is the case, why don't we go back, even if we can beat Yang Lian Zhenjia and be so confused by the mausoleum guards on the rivers and lakes, we can't hide from the mechanism in the tomb." ”

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Bai Cheng scolded, and suddenly his pace accelerated, and he walked more than ten zhang in a row, and came to a mountain stream, and then said: "After this imperial mausoleum is built, the most pitiful thing is that the craftsmen who built the mausoleum will be buried for the emperor's old son." Therefore, the clever craftsman will secretly leave a secret passage to escape, so ......"

Yuan Quan's hut suddenly opened and said, "Therefore, Master, you are looking for this escape secret way." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Well, it is according to this compass that I put myself in my shoes, if I were the foreman of the mausoleum, where would I set up the secret passage." Then he walked into the mountain stream, followed the water and pounded on the shore, and listened. Suddenly with a happy face, he reached out and pushed away a water weed, revealing a hole half-hidden by a boulder. smiled: "Circle, come and push it away together." Yuan Quan hurriedly went into the water, this boulder looked very heavy, but the master and apprentice easily pushed it away, the foreman was really ingenious.

Bai Cheng was overjoyed, took a dead wood, made a torch, lit it with a fire fold, and then went into the secret passage, and Yuan Quan also followed. I saw that it was dark and damp, twisting and twisting, showing a downward trend, and the two of them walked for about a cup of tea, and suddenly reached the bottom. Yuan Quandao: "Master, there is no way, what should I do, is it not the secret passage of Yongsi Tomb?"

"Stinky boy, don't make a fuss!" Bai said on credit, then approached the bottom of the secret passage, knocked, then looked at it for a while, and then illuminated the surroundings with a torch, and then said: "This imperial mausoleum generally has an upper palace, a lower palace and an underground palace. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the stone wall, and inside is the underground palace, which is where Gaozong's coffin is located. Bai Cheng said, after saying that, he groped for a while on the stone wall on the right side, and found a blue brick engraved with a mark, so he pressed it hard, and suddenly the stone wall in front of him slowly rose, making a muffled sound.

Yuan Quan saw that the stone wall was slowly rising, and his admiration for the master was indescribable, but it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything. Bai Cheng held the torch and walked in slowly, the fire was everywhere, and he saw that there were more than 20 chests about three feet wide and knee-high in the two-zhang square tomb. Yuan Quan was stunned, and said in his heart What kind of treasure would be in this box, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet, slipped a little, and hurriedly looked down to see that it was actually a corpse wearing a military uniform, looking around carefully, it was dense, there were more than 20 bodies. I didn't see any coffins.

Bai Cheng said: "It seems that this is the ear chamber of the underground palace, and it is also the escape secret passage of the mausoleum craftsmen, and it just so happens that the treasure was also sent in through this secret passage, and these corpses must be the soldiers who were killed after carrying the treasure." With that, he couldn't wait to open the treasure chest, and it was locked. At that moment, he picked up a spear next to the skeleton, chiseled it down hard, and fell off with a clattering of the lock. Hurriedly opened it to take a look, only to find that the eyes were bright yellow and clear, and it was all gold bars. At that moment, he picked up his spear and chiseled open another treasure chest, and when he opened it, he saw that it was also a golden bar.

"Circle, now our master and apprentice can wash their hands in a golden basin. There is also a million taels of gold here, let's find a place to live in seclusion, like your uncle, but we have to hire a dozen or twenty maids to work so that we can serve for a living. What about you, just call my dad in the future, I'll ask you for a daughter-in-law and give birth to a baby, no, ask for a few more daughters-in-law, ask for a few, and then give birth to a bunch of babies, hahaha!"

When Yuan Quan heard about begging for his daughter-in-law, his mind was full of Yan Xi's shadow, he smiled from ear to ear, and then looked at the more than 20 boxes in front of him, and said, "Master, how can we carry so many boxes." ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Chong was furious, and an ear scraper called over, and shouted: "You pig brain, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away if you have money." After scolding, seeing Yuan Quan's aggrieved face, he said, "Come, let's carry them to the secret passage one by one." After that, the two of them lifted a box on one side, and found that the box was still extremely heavy, weighing hundreds of catties, and at this time, they suddenly heard a gurgling sound in the stone room, which was very loud in this silent underground palace.

Yuan Quan looked puzzled and said, "Master, what is the voice." ”

"Don't make any noise!" Bai Cheng suddenly shouted, his face was solemn, his expression was nervous, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly. It was the first time Yuan Quan had seen such an expression from his master, and he had never seen him like this before, even if he had a knife frame and neck, he could imagine how urgent the situation was. Suddenly, I saw him put down the treasure chest, picked up the spear on the ground, strode to the right, and inserted the head of the spear into the stone wall.

Bai Cheng wiped the Han at this time, regained his relaxed expression, and said, "If the person who brought the treasure here is really Wen Tianxiang, then he is indeed a great character." ”

Yuan Quan was confused and said, "What's the matter, Master?"

Bai Cheng said: "First of all, he accurately found this secret passage, after moving the gold, and changed the secret passage stone wall into a mechanism, the right stone wall was chiseled a chute, just now as soon as we lifted the box, it touched the mechanism, and a fist-sized round stone slowly rolled down, fortunately, your master and I are quick to see and move, wise and martial, otherwise the stone rolls to the end, this secret stone wall will be closed in an instant, and you and I both have to be locked up here for the martyrdom of Zhao Gou Lao'er." ”

Yuan Quan also pinched the cold man, he didn't expect it to be so dangerous just now, if he had been himself, he would have fled a long time ago, where could he be as calm and calm as the master, and finally turned the danger into a disaster, and the admiration in his heart arose, and said: "Master, I think that Wen Tianxiang is so powerful, it is still your old man's chess master." ”

"Hehe, what is this, if it was replaced by Gongsun Jin's guy, the gold would have already moved home. Bai Cheng said.

"Uncle Shi, he's really so powerful. Yuan Quandao.

"But it's not, back then, Song Duzong Zhao Yu ordered Jia Rudao to offer a thousand taels of gold, and asked your uncle to go out of the mountain three times, but your uncle pushed it away, otherwise, how could Kublai Khan's Yuan army enter Jiangnan so easily. During the conversation, the master and apprentice moved the boxes into the secret passage one by one, a total of twenty-seven boxes of equal size. Yuan Quan's heart was full of joy, presumably the group of people above were still trying their best to guard the tomb and steal the tomb, and they were making a lot of trouble, but they didn't know that they had been moved by our master and apprentice at this time.

Bai Cheng said: "You stand here and don't move, I'll go and put down the stone wall." After that, he walked into the ear chamber of the underground palace and pulled out the spear on the stone wall on the right side, at this time, with a few gurgling sounds, the secret passage stone chamber suddenly slid down, and the white credit suddenly rolled on the spot and turned out, and at the same time, the secret passage stone chamber was firmly closed. smiled: "Hehe, it's foolproof, circle, let's go." ”

"Let's go, what about the gold?" said Yuan Quan.

"Don't worry, they can't run, even if they dig it up now, they won't find it. We're going to go out and get some stuff out of here, and then we're pulling the boxes out. Bai Cheng said. After that, the two returned the same way, went out of the secret pass, and found that there was a river half a mile downstream of the mountain stream, so the master and apprentice rode horses and walked along the river, and walked about seven or eight miles to a market. First he bought a wooden boat, then a dozen pieces of twine, a wide board, and put it on the bow. At this time, the sun was in the sky, and it was noon, so the two found a restaurant to fill their stomachs first. A pot of wine, with a few dishes, was eaten, and at this time, Yuan Quan suddenly found that there was a group of people on the street who were particularly eye-catching. Two monks and four lamas, one of whom was Yang Lian Zhenjia, stunned him last night and tied him to a tree again, but he didn't expect to run out again. On the contrary, he has always been arrogant on weekdays, but today he is respectful and humble. Beside him, there was an old monk who was more than half a hundred years old, dressed in a gorgeous monk's robe, with a majestic aura between his eyebrows, like a generation of monks. Yuan Quanxin said: Could it be that this person is the Venerable Emperor Ba Sipa? Looking at the direction they are going, it should be the side of Yongsi Mausoleum.

"Master, look?" said Yuan Quan, softly.

"I saw it earlier, don't care, eat yours. Bai Cheng said.

"Oh!" Yuan Quan, the two of them had eaten, paid, and returned to the river. Bai Cheng rowed the boat, while Yuan Quan led the horse on the shore and headed towards the secret passage of the mountain stream. Along the way, Yuan Quan's soul was not guarded, but Bai Chong pretended to turn a blind eye.

"Master, I want to go to Yongsi Mausoleum!" Yuan Quan finally couldn't hold back and said.

Bai Cheng said: "No, our treasure has arrived, you can't make extraneous branches." ”

"Master, I'm worried about Miss Yan, she ......," Yuan Quandao said.

"What's the use of you going, the two great monks of Shaolin and the wine fairy of Bai Yuchan are here, what can you do when you go?" Bai Cheng said.

"But I ......," Yuan Quan's words stopped.

"Circle, forget the woman surnamed Yan, you can't control her, listen to the master, now that our master and apprentice are rich and rival the country, what kind of woman do you want in the future?" Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Yuan Quan had already got on a horse, ran towards Yongsiling, and said, "Master, you are waiting for me here, I am going to inform Miss Yan that the great monk Ba Sipa is coming, and tell her to go first, the treasure should not be guarded anymore, maybe she can come back with me." ”

"Quan'er, come back quickly!" Bai Cheng said busily, but he never saw Yuan Quan's head, and scolded in his heart, so he had to walk ashore quickly, ride a horse and chase after him.
