My husband is a sick cat

Lu Jian's question made Tang Ying stunned. He stared at the imperial seal in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

For the royal family, this jade seal is a symbol of power and legitimacy and is of extraordinary significance. However, for ordinary people, it is just a piece of beautiful jade with no actual value.

Tang Ying thought of something, which was what he heard from Qi Chengji before, about the imperial fish.

At that time, he felt a little strange. Although the fish was delicious and had certain medicinal value, it was not worthy of an emperor's concern, let alone countless human lives in exchange for a few fish.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the late emperor's original goal was to find this national jade seal, and that fish was just a cover.

This also shows that the former emperor and even the current emperor are sure that the imperial seal was brought into Qilin Mountain by the descendants of the previous royal family.

If they took this jade seal out, they would definitely be found by the royal people, and they might even be asked to bring it here, but he was unwilling to do so.

It's not that he covets what's here, but he's not sure if the royal family will kill them in the end to keep this secret.

He won't take risks for uncertain things, so the best choice is to keep this thing here.

"If you don't take it, just leave it here."

Lu Jian was not surprised at all by Tang Ying's choice, because she also felt that it was better not to take this thing out.

Now that she had decided, she covered the box back, but the mechanism for placing the box was obviously one-time and had expired. It would be a bit conspicuous to put it back in its place.

Lu Jian looked around the stone room and found no place to hide. She couldn't help but look at Tang Ying: "Then where would it be better to hide?"

Although this place was quite secretive, they decided to close the door to the secret room when they left, but they were not sure if anyone else would find it in the end. She did not want the things she had spent a long time to find to be taken away easily. Walk.

Tang Ying obviously understood Lu Jian's thoughts, thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it in the kitchen."

Hearing Tang Ying's words, Lu Jian's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll release it right now."

It can be said that it is clear at a glance what the functions of the several stone chambers here are. When Tang Ying saw the kitchen before, he just stood outside and took a look and walked away without going in at all.

And if Lu Jian hadn't gone in for a walk because of his obsession with food, I guess the others would be like Tang Ying and wouldn't care about a kitchen with nothing but pots and pans.

Seeing Lu Jian running out with the jade seal, Tang Ying couldn't help but chuckle and turned around to follow. Then he saw Lu Jian stuff the jade seal box directly into the stove, which surprised him.

But thinking about it, it seems that hiding here is the most suitable and least likely to be discovered. Even if someone finds this place and goes into the kitchen to rummage, the target will probably only be those cabinets and jars. Who would pay attention to the inside of a stove? Woolen cloth.

After Lu Jian hid, he clapped his hands and walked out. He stood next to Tang Ying, took a look at the secret room, and said with some boredom, "Then we just leave like this?"

You can't take books out, and you can't just take any jewelry. I feel like I'm at a disadvantage when I enter this secret room.

Tang Ying smiled, raised his hand and took out two luminous pearls. They were taken from the stone room with the sarcophagus. Although they were not as bright as the room in the middle, they looked pretty good.

"You can bring these two for lighting purposes, and they won't be so conspicuous."

Luminescent pearls of this size can be seen everywhere in this secret room. Although they can be regarded as treasures outside, they should not be rare, so there is no big problem even if they are taken out.

In addition to the two night pearls and the jewelry given to Lu Jian before, Tang Ying also carefully wrapped the book he had opened before with a handkerchief and put it in his arms, planning to take it out.

After all, this book has been somewhat damaged due to his reading. It should be okay for him to take it out and copy it in time. In fact, he is not reconciled to the fact that there are so many unique copies here, but he cannot read them.

Looking at the night pearl handed over by Tang Ying, Lu Jian had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

Now that they had decided to leave, the two of them stopped thinking about it and turned around and walked out of the secret room. This time with the illumination of the night pearl, Lu Jian turned the switch back with a single jump, and the stone door slowly closed in front of their eyes. .

Lu Jian stared at the switch for a while, and then said to Tang Ying, "Wait for me here while I go find some soil."

Tang Ying knew what Lu Jian was doing and nodded in agreement. There was no danger here and it was the best choice for him to wait here.

Lu Jian quickly ran to the place where they came down, and sure enough, he found streams flowing down on the other side. These streams flowed in the other direction, so that's why the side where Lu Jian and the others went was so dry.

Next to the stream is moist soil, covered with thick moss.

Lu Jian pushed aside the moss, dug up a large pile of mud and took it back. Then, under Tang Ying's gaze, he used the mud to cover the switch. After running back and forth three times, he finally used enough mud. Paste the switch and the surrounding area.

If you don't look carefully, you won't see any clues at all. You will just think that it is a protruding stone. As for whether it will fall due to dryness and cracking in the end, Lu Jian doesn't think so much.

However, Tang Ying has taken this into consideration, but now that he has no materials, he can only cover it up like this. If there is a chance in the future, he can bring some materials to cover it up.

After finishing it, Tang Ying followed Lu Jian towards the entrance. After walking a few steps, Lu Jian suddenly remembered that the Wolf Queen said that the ginseng was also down there, but why didn't they see it?

"Maybe on the other side?"

Tang Ying guessed, and Lu Jian thought about it and thought it was possible. After all, there was no need for the Wolf Queen to lie at this time, and she had run back and forth on this road several times. When she went to get soil for the first time, she brought a luminous bead for lighting. , she did not see the shadow of ginseng.

So the possibility of being on the other side is very high.

When they reached the place where the stream was flowing, Lu Jian washed his hands carefully first, and then walked to the other side with Tang Ying. This time, under the illumination of the night pearl, Lu Jian did not pull Tang Ying, but just let him follow behind.

Tang Ying secretly glanced at Lu Jian's hand several times and wanted to reach out to pull it, but in the end he gave up. After all, they were still on an adventure.

The other side of the cave is different from the dry and empty place over there. Probably because of the stream, a lot of shade-loving plants grow, and these plants are not short. It looks like they have been growing for many years.
