Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu continued to explore, with a nervous and focused look on their faces.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, glanced around with sharp eyes, trying to find some clues.
Tuoba Yu followed him closely, with a hint of anxiety and expectation on his face.
After a while, they arrived at a dead end. Xi Yu stopped, frowned even more, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, it's a dead end."
Tuoba Yu looked at him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Are we going the wrong way?"
Xi Yu shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't know, maybe we've overlooked something."
A trace of thought flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall the previous route.
Tuoba Yu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "It's okay, let's look for it again and we will definitely find a way out."
Xi Yu nodded, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Okay, let's look for it again."
So, they began to carefully search for clues in the dead end, not letting go of any corner.
While fumbled carefully on the wall, Xi Yu murmured to himself: "No, there must be something we haven't discovered."
His expression was serious and focused, and even fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Tuoba Yu squatted down and looked carefully on the ground without missing any suspicious traces.
"Will there be any mechanism here?"
After a while, Tuoba Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Husband, come and see, there seems to be a less obvious mark here."
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu hurriedly came over and looked in the direction of Tuoba Yu's fingers, and indeed found the faint mark.
The haze on Xi Yu's face was swept away, replaced by full of expectations.
Tuoba Yu also looked happy and couldn't wait to say, "Then let's study it quickly and see if we can find a way to turn it on."
The two of them began to think carefully around the mark. Xi Yu sometimes pondered and sometimes gently painted with his hands. Tuoba Yu occasionally put forward some ideas and suggestions. They were extremely serious in their expressions, as if they had forgotten everything around them.
Xi Yu stared at the mark, rubbed his fingers gently, his eyebrows sometimes frowned and sometimes stretched, and he muttered something in his mouth: "The shape of this mark seems a bit special. Could it be a specific symbol?"
Tuoba Yu tilted his head, staring at him without blinking, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe, but we have to think about it carefully to what it can be connected with."
They fell into deep thought, time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Suddenly, Xi Yu's eyes lit up, he slapped his thighs and shouted, "I thought of it! Will it be related to the patterns we saw at the entrance before?"
"It's very likely! Let's think about it quickly."
The two quickly searched their previous memories in their minds, and their expressions on their faces were sometimes nervous and sometimes excited.
After a while, Tuoba Yu said excitedly: "Yes, I think it's similar to that pattern. Maybe this is the key to unlocking this place!"
Xi Yu nodded and said firmly: "Then try it!" They began to grop carefully around the marks according to the pattern shape in their memory, trying, each movement was particularly cautious, and their eyes were full of expectations and eagerness.
Just as they were concentrating on the marks, a slight "crunch" sound came from above their heads.
Xi Yu was the first to notice something strange. He suddenly looked up, widened his eyes in shock, and shouted in dismay: "Not good!"
Almost at the same moment, Tuoba Yu also realized the danger. His eyes instantly became extremely sharp. Without any hesitation, he shouted: "Do not to go!"
After saying that, she grabbed Xi Yu with lightning speed and pulled him to the side with all her strength.
"Swoosh!" Countless arrows shot down from the hole in the ceiling like raindrops, with a sharp sound of wind.
Tuoba Yu tightly protected Xi Yu behind him, his face full of tension and solemnity, and kept muttering: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Xi Yu was also shocked. His face was a little pale and he said with lingering fear: "It's so dangerous, thanks to you, Tuoba Yu."
Tuoba Yu gasped and forced a smile.
"Fortunately I reacted quickly, otherwise we would be miserable."
The two looked at the arrows that were still shooting down vigilantly, looking for a safe area to hide.
After a while, the arrow finally stopped shooting.
Tuoba Yu then let go of the hand protecting Xi Yu, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Huh, I finally stopped." There was still a look of nervousness on her face.
"But now we have to be careful, there may be other mechanisms and traps here." His eyes became more cautious and he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Xi Yu nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, we have to be more careful. We just don't know who sets this mechanism, it's so cruel." A hint of anger and doubt appeared on his face.
Tuoba Yu frowned and thoughtfully said, "No matter who it is, we must deal with it carefully. Let's see if we can find a way out first."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked forward, and Xi Yu quickly followed. The two continued to explore carefully in this dangerous place.
Suddenly, they finally heard a slight sound of footsteps. The two of them became alert in an instant, staring at the direction where the sound came.
I saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness. It was a man wearing a black mask. He was tall and exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura all over his body.
Xi Yu widened his eyes, looked at the visitor in astonishment, and whispered: "What...who is this?"
Tuoba Yuze frowned, held the sword in his hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who he is, the person who comes is not good, please deal with it carefully!"
The man wearing a black mask stopped and looked at them quietly, his eyes under the mask flashing with an unpredictable light.
His voice was low and hoarse, and he said slowly: "You shouldn't be here."
Xi Yu gritted his teeth and asked loudly: "Who are you? Why do you set up a mechanism trap here?"
The masked man did not answer his question, but just snorted coldly and said, "You just need to know that one step forward is a dead end."
Tuoba Yu snorted coldly and said without fear: "Since we are here, we will not retreat easily! No matter who you are, don't try to stop us!"
A sharp look flashed in Tuoba Yu's eyes, and he held the sword tightly and rushed towards the man wearing a mask, shouting loudly: "Then let's see if you have the ability to stop me!"
The man was not showing weakness and instantly met Tuoba Yu, and the two of them fought each other in an instant.
Tuoba Yu has a strong body, and every move and move has the momentum of killing.
Xi Yu looked anxiously from the side, clenched his fists tightly, but found that he could not get into the hands at all, so he could only do it in a hurry.
At this moment, a dark guard flashed out of the darkness and joined the battle.
They cooperated with Tuoba Yu to attack the man.
The man gradually couldn't stand it, and under the joint attack of the two, he finally revealed his flaws.
Tuoba Yu seized the opportunity and hit him in the shoulder. The man suffered a pain and his movements slowed down.
Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly shouted: "Stay alive! Don't kill him!"
Tuoba Yu and the secret guards quickly stopped the man when they heard this. Tuoba Yu gasped and stared at the man and said, "Hmph, let's see how arrogant you are!"
Xi Yu hurriedly walked forward, looked at the man who was being restrained, with a flash of thought in his eyes, and said, "I want to see who you are and why you are here."
Although the man wearing a mask was restrained, he still straightened his back, just frowned slightly, as if he was enduring the pain.
He looked at Xi Yu coldly through the mask, without saying a word.
Xi Yu walked around the man, stared at him with a tight look, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who did you send me? What's the purpose of guarding here?"
The man snorted coldly, turned his head away, and remained silent.
Tuoba Yu was a little angry, stepped forward, grabbed the man's collar, and shouted: "Speak quickly! Don't give him a toast and eat a punishment for the wine!"
Xi Yu raised his hand to stop Tuoba Yu and said slowly: "Don't worry, I believe he will say it." Xi Yu's eyes revealed a kind of confidence and majesty.
After a moment of silence, the man finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Hmph, want to know? It's not that easy."
Xi Yu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he said patiently: "If you don't say it, you will only cause you to suffer more. As long as you explain it truthfully, I may be able to let you live a life."
The man seemed a little shaken, and his eyes turned under the mask a few times, but he still said stubbornly: "I will not betray my master."
A flash of thought flashed in Xi Yu's eyes, then sighed softly, and said, "You are so loyal, but your master may not care about your life or death."
After saying that, he looked at the man quietly, waiting for his reaction.
Tuoba Yu and the secret guards began to use various means against the man. The man gritted his teeth and held on forcing him at first, but as the torture intensified, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He gasped, pale, and said intermittently: "Stop...stop, I...I say..."
Tuoba Yu and the secret guards stopped. Tuoba Yu glared at him fiercely and said, "Speak quickly!"
The man raised his head weakly and said weakly: "I...I am ordered to protect the treasures of Xianbei here..."
Hearing this, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu both widened their eyes, their faces full of shock and incredible.
Xi Yu said in a lost voice: "What? The treasure of Xianbei is hidden here?"
Tuoba Yu also looked shocked and murmured: "I didn't expect that I was here..."
The two looked at each other, both of them saw shock and excitement in each other's eyes, and at the same time they had deep doubts. After all, the appearance of this treasure was too sudden and unexpected. Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stared at the man and asked, "Then where is this treasure? If you explain honestly, maybe we can spare your life."
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but under Tuoba Yu's fierce gaze, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Just deep in this secret room, there is a secret door, and behind it is the place where the treasure is."
Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu looked at each other, and a hint of heat ignited in both of them.
Tuoba Yu said, "Take us over, if there is a lie, I will definitely forgive you!"
The man had no choice but to walk slowly towards the secret door under the escort of Tuoba Yu and the secret guards. Along the way, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu were filled with anticipation and tension.
Soon, they came to a seemingly ordinary wall, and the man pointed to the wall and said, "It's here."
Tuoba Yu stepped forward and looked carefully, and found some subtle traces of mechanism. She turned to look at Xi Yu, with a hint of excitement in her eyes: "It seems that there is really a secret door."
Xi Yu nodded and said with a serious expression: "Be careful, open it first and then talk about it."
Tuoba Yu responded and began to carefully fiddle with the mechanism. With a slight sound, the wall slowly opened, revealing a dark passage, and an ancient and mysterious aura came to his face.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu stood at the entrance of the passage, excited and nervous, not knowing what kind of Xianbei treasure would be waiting for them at the end of the passage.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu carefully stepped into the passage, holding the weapon tightly in their hands to prevent any accidents.
The man was escorted by secret guards and a hint of reluctance and helplessness appeared on his face.
There was an old aura in the passage, and a faint light flashed on the walls, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
Xi Yu whispered: "This Xianbei treasure is so deep that I don't know how many precious things there are in it."
Tuoba Yu nodded and replied in a low voice: "No matter how many there are, we must deal with it carefully and must not take it lightly."
They walked forward step by step, and every time they walked a distance, they would observe the surroundings with great vigilance.
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the front. Tuoba Yu immediately stopped and whispered: "Who is it?"
However, only silence responded to them.
Xi Yu frowned and said, "Maybe we were too nervous and had an illusion."
Tuoba Yu hesitated for a moment and continued to move forward.
Finally, they arrived at the end of the passage and a huge stone chamber appeared in front of them.
The stone chamber was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and shining dazzlingly under the light.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu were both stunned by the scene in front of them. They widened their eyes and couldn't speak for a moment.
After a while, Tuoba Yu murmured: "This... this is my Xianbei treasure... let's take these treasures away!"
However, just as they were about to take action, a strange laugh suddenly came from the stone chamber...
The strange laughter echoed in the stone chamber, causing a chill to surge in everyone's hearts.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu became alert in an instant, and their eyes were nervously scanning the stone chamber.
"Who is it? Come out!" Tuoba Yu shouted loudly, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
The laughter did not stop, but became more and more arrogant, as if mocking their panic.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the stone chamber. It was a mysterious man in a black robe. He was wearing a hideous mask on his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Xi Yu frowned and shouted, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?"
The mysterious man in black robe let out a low laugh and said slowly: "Hmph, you greedy guys are trying to get involved in the treasures of the Xianbei. You are overestimating your ability."
Tuoba Yu snorted coldly and said, "This treasure is originally a masterless thing, why can't we take it? I can get it for the Xianbei people."
The mysterious man in black robe shook his head and sneered: "Ignorance, how can you easily take this treasure?"
As he said that, he waved his hand gently, and a powerful airflow suddenly surged from the stone chamber.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu's faces changed and they hurriedly resisted, but the airflow was too strong, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
"No, this person's strength is unfathomable!" Tuoba Yu exclaimed.
Xi Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we can't just give up the treasure!"
They fought a fierce battle with the mysterious man in the black robe in the stone chamber, and the originally quiet treasure land was now surging.
Tuoba Yu and the secret guards looked cold, and a firm determination was revealed in their eyes.
The secret guard rushed towards the man in black like a ghost.
Although the man in black robe had great martial arts skills, he was gradually at a disadvantage under the siege of Tuoba Yu and the secret guards.
After a fierce battle, Tuoba Yu finally found the flaw of the man in the black robe and hit him in the vital position. The man in the black robe fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Xi Yu walked up quickly, looked at the man in black robe on the ground, and asked coldly: "Did you steal something from the temple?"
The man in black robe looked pale and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He did not answer Xi Yu's question, but suddenly opened his mouth and bit off his tongue hard.
Xi Yu was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but the man in black robe had already died.
He frowned and thought to himself.
This person would rather commit suicide than reveal the truth. It seems that there must be some ulterior secret behind this.
Tuoba Yu walked up to him.
"Forget it, husband, since he is dead, we cannot learn the truth from him. However, we still have to continue to investigate and find what was lost in the temple."
Xi Yu nodded, and a firm light flashed in his eyes. He knew that this matter was of great importance and they must find the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this matter is never simple. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this man in black robe."
Xi Yu took a deep breath, stared at the body of the man in black robe, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, he would rather die than reveal a word, so he must be afraid."
Xi Yu frowned, looked around and shook his head helplessly, and said to Tuoba Yu: "It seems that we have found nothing after searching. The lost things in the temple are probably hard to find."
