Below the entrance of the cave was a deep tunnel that sloped downwards. After the two of them were sucked in, they slid all the way down the tunnel and fell into a small pool without even having time to react.

Where is this? Ling Qingyu asked before he could get up, but was hit again by Ying Jiu who fell in afterwards.

Master! Ying Jiu quickly dragged Ling Qingyu up and asked, Are you okay?

It's okay. After spitting out, Ling Qingyu looked around again and asked, Where is this?

There was still some light from the hole where they fell, and they could see that it was a square space, the water was not very deep, and there was a door on one side.

Come up quickly. Yan Qi shouted, holding Ling Qingyu and just about to throw her up, the top squeaked and closed with a bang, blocking out all the light.

It was pitch black, and Ling Qingyu hugged Yan Qi's neck unconsciously and said, Here? It can't be some kind of tomb, right?

After a moment of silence, Yan Qi laughed and said, My boss, I always have this kind of thing when I follow you.

What's the meaning?

If my estimate is correct, this is the treasure house of King Wu Yue. Yan Qi's voice contained a faint smile, but Ling Qingyu's face was a little dark in the darkness.

You know? Do you know the treasure house is here? Ling Qingyu asked unconsciously, no wonder you don't let me go into the lake.

No, I don't know where it is specifically. The picture passed down from our family was taken away when Wang Yi was chasing us. But my father said that if you look for it based on that picture, you won't be able to find it at all. As for the treasure, my father told me before he died that the treasure is probably in Tianmu Mountain, but I swear not to take the initiative to look for it. It is best that none of the descendants of my Qian family come looking for this treasure. There is light along the front. With the image left behind at that time, Yan Qi carried Ling Qingyu and walked towards the entrance of the cave, while saying: Because this treasure has countless mechanisms, in fact, it is to trap and kill those who are greedy and insufficient.

Get a treasure and then don't let your descendants get it? Your ancestors are really weird. Ling Qingyu muttered.

The ancestors probably meant to keep us descendants away from those disputes. In order to prevent the land east of Jiangdong from being destroyed by the war, the ancestors voluntarily surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty and only became an idle noble. Haha, Yan Qi sneered twice. He continued: The King of Wu Yue used to be the richest in the world. After he surrendered, he handed over a treasury full of gold and silver. However, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty did not believe that the wealth of Wu Yue was that. They thought that the Qian family still left most of the property. So I kept asking, and finally asked Wang Yi to kill all of our direct descendants.

Behind the door was a dark passage. The three of them did not carry any items such as fire sticks, so they could only move forward by touching the stone wall.

Maybe this is not the treasure of the Qian family, but just someone's tomb? Ling Qingyu shrank into Yan Qi's arms and said.

Why are you chasing those fish? Yan Qi asked.

The patterns they spin are very interesting, like copper coins, ah! Is this money? Ling Qingyu suddenly realized.

I wasn't sure at first. It's just the terrain here. If you think about it, it is surrounded by a circle and there is a lake in the middle. Yan Qi hugged her closer. The shirt on her body was already thin and soaked with water. , but this corridor is very cold.

So you and Yan San won't let me come down? Ling Qingyu asked. Isn’t it okay to just say this kind of thing? If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been so reckless.

Yan San won't let you go into the water because he's afraid that your coldness and heat will be bad for your health. I won't say it, just because I just figured it out. Yan Qi stopped and then said to Ying Jiu: Jiu , give me the sword.

Ying Jiu took off the long sword hanging from his waist and gropingly handed it to the direction of Yan Qi's voice.

Yan Qi put Ling Qingyu down and let Ying Jiu support her. Then he took a step forward and pulled out the long sword. The swords of the shadows were all specially made by Zhou Tan. They were made of black iron brought from the treasure island. A flash of fluorescence flashed out in the dark corridor.

The fluorescence only lasted for a moment and was annihilated by darkness, but it was enough for Yan Qi to see clearly the densely packed corpses in the corridor in front.

Yan Qi frowned slightly. Although this place was only a hundred years old, the corpses were well preserved. At a quick glance, he thought they were a group of living people crowding in front.

Yan Qi groped on the wall and found a lampstand. Yan Qi said to Ying Jiu: Jiu, cover the master's eyes.

Why? Ling Qingyu wanted to ask again, but Yingjiu had torn off her sleeves and made a cloth band to cover her eyes. In that flash of light just now, he also saw a little bit of the situation ahead. Those things were indeed not suitable for the family. look.

Okay. After covering Ling Qingyu's eyes, Ying Jiu took her hand.

Yan Qi drew the tip of the sword across the wall, and some sparks emerged from the fierce friction. Yan Qi flicked his fingers, and the sparks were flicked into the oil lamp, which lit up with a bang.

The oil lamp was not very bright, but it shone with a faint light, which illuminated the standing corpses even more gloomily.

Looking at the condition of the oil lamp, there was not much air left in the corridor. Ying Jiu said: Master Qi, I will take the lead.

Yan Qi nodded, handed the sword back to him, then picked up Ling Qingyu and said, Lower your head.

Ling Qingyu said nothing and buried her face in his chest. Since they didn't let her see it, there must be something scary here.

Those corpses were all standing, filling the corridor. Looking at their green and black complexions, you could tell that the corpses were poisoned. To get past, the first step was to bring down these corpses.

Yan Qi took two steps back. Ying Jiu had already passed by him, and the sword light was approaching like a dense web of light.

Being strangled by his sword net, the body broke into pieces and fell to the ground, with black corpse water splashing everywhere. He had already taken off his shirt when he entered the water. The corpse water splashed on his skin and stung unbearably. Ying Jiu did not hide or avoid it, but just moved forward. There was not much air in this corridor, and the incoming passage was blocked. Go up, then the only way is to fight out from here.

When his body was completely stained black by corpse water, a stone door at the end of the corridor appeared after the last row of corpses fell.

Ying Jiu pushed the stone door hard. After a creaking sound, the stone door slowly opened to both sides.

Nine. Yan Qi shouted loudly.

Ying Jiu was shocked and immediately fell down. A shower of arrows had been fired from the stone door, creating a forest of arrows behind him.

Don't move. Yan Qi shouted to Ying Jiu who was about to get up. After the arrow rain was shot, there was a moment of silence, and then a burst of pebbles rained out. The pebble rain was even denser, and some of it grazed Ying Jiu's lying back. , tiny blood marks have already been drawn.

After the rain of stones had completely stopped, Yan Qi walked over to the stone gate and asked, How is it?

Ying Jiu spat, climbed up, and said, It's okay.

When the stone door was opened, there was a faint flowing breath. Although it was very weak, it also meant that there was air circulation here. Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, Go back to the pool and wash the corpse water away. That stuff is very toxic.

Yes. Ying Jiu felt dizzy while holding on to the stone wall, steadied his body, then turned around to boost his energy and headed towards the pool.

Is Xiaojiu okay? Ling Qingyu asked worriedly after hearing their conversation.

It's okay. Yan Qi replied, tore off the corner of his clothes, wrapped an arrowhead and pulled it out, then picked some lamp oil and made a fire, and slowly walked into the stone door.

Behind the stone door was a very wide space. Yan Qi found the lamp holders on the wall and lit two lamps. The faint lights lit up, illuminating the stone room with ghostly shadows.

Seeing the light swaying slightly, Yan Qi found two more lamp holders and lit them too.

The stone chamber was much brighter now. It was a circular space with many huge stones placed randomly on the ground. There was a strange picture on the top of the stone chamber, which was flashing with little rays of light under the reflection of the light.

Put me down. Ling Qingyu had already untied his eye straps and looked at the star map on the stone chamber. Yes, there is actually an astronomical map on the top of the stone chamber. The twenty-eight constellations and the Big Dipper are very clear.

Yan Qi, help me see if there are any words on these stones? Ling Qingyu said while looking at the star map.

Yan Qi jumped up to the stones and saw that there were words carved in the middle of the stones. He said, There are words. This one says Jingsu.

Yes, this is an astronomical map. You need to arrange these stones one by one. Ling Qingyu said.

Okay, where should I put this piece? Yan Qi jumped off the stone and asked.

Well, Ling Qingyu looked at the picture and walked to Jingsu's position, but found that there was already a stone there, and said unconsciously: Damn! I have to play house pushing first!

What are you talking about? Yan Qi asked in confusion.

Your ancestors are really stupid. You see, the stones here are all close together. Basically, there are already stones under the corresponding positions. That is to say, if you want to put the stones into their respective corresponding points, just There must be a corresponding order of promotion. Ling Qingyu said.

Can't we just pile up these stones? Yan Qi said this and squatted down to lift the stones, and then found that the stones were actually fixed to the floor. There were only notches for the stones to move. move.

Don't bother, come on, give me the words on each stone. Ling Qingyu knelt down resignedly and began to draw a grid on the ground. God knows what bothers her the most is playing this game, it’s so taxing!

After Yan Qi read all the words on the stones to Ling Qingyu, Ying Jiu also rushed over. Seeing that his face was a little pale and his lips were blue, Yan Qi asked softly: Can you still hold on?

Yes. Ying Jiu nodded. The corpse water had been washed away, but the stones were also poisonous, and now the wound on his back was itchy and numb.

Ling Qingyu calculated the route for nearly an hour, rubbed his numb legs, raised his head and said, That's it.

I'll do it. After suppressing Ying Jiu who was about to get up, Yan Qi asked, The first piece?

The stones were pushed into position one by one in order. After the last stone was pushed into the corresponding point, there was a crunching sound at the corner, and a stone door opened at the corner.

Yan Qi looked at the black substance remaining in the place where the stones had been pushed, and felt scared. As long as he pushed the wrong stone, the explosives under the stones would detonate, blowing people to pieces.
