An exploration

In the blue wave pool, a cold light suddenly rose and stabbed towards Zhao Tong's chest.

No one would have thought that there were still people alive in this ghost mansion, and that they were hiding in the pool to carry out assassinations.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes suddenly, but he was on guard, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the strangeness of the pool and wanted to step forward to check it out.

It was too late to tell, but it was too late to tell what kind of weapon the cold light was. It was just a determined breath that would kill him.

Behind the cold light, there was a red figure falling tightly, following the light.

Zhao Tong's feet slipped and he stepped back. If he had been half a minute slower, the cold light would have passed through his chest. The sharp edge of the dagger in his sleeve was revealed, and he was ready to fight back.

But at this moment, a golden ray of light suddenly appeared at a very fast speed, heading straight towards the red shadow. The red shadow rushed forward, but could not hide in time. He was stunned by the golden light and lost the momentum to move forward. He swayed a few times.

It fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.

Everyone looked anxiously and saw that the red figure was actually a woman wearing a red wedding dress. She had an ordinary appearance, her eyes were bulging and not closed, and she had a gilt Emei thorn about a foot long on her chest.

"Your Majesty?"

Big Crab said: "If you feel the image, I will show it to the prince now."

Everyone continued to move forward and came to the largest cave mentioned by Zhu Xiaoyi, but they saw that the entrance of the cave was about ten feet in diameter, and it was pitch black inside with no trace of the scene.

The little mother said: "She was originally a registered disciple of my master, but later she stole his weapons and boxing manuals and ran away. My master found out that she was doing evil in Tokyo, but she was unwilling to set foot in the capital for some reasons. It just so happened that I

When you are successful in your studies, you will clean up the family on behalf of your tutor."

It turned out that this was what we had agreed to do. We spent a lot of time searching down there, especially in the water. If we still had the strength to climb up by ourselves, we could only have people pull us up.

The young lady stepped forward, pulled out the Emei thorns from the girl in wedding clothes, and sighed: "This girl is just happy. I came to Guifan Tower just to find her."

He knew that Emperor Jun wouldn't care about this. As long as he could dig tunnels and meet beauties, he didn't care about adding another military service out of thin air. Now that the matter was done, he felt a huge loss in his heart, especially the gold and silver he earned. Counting the previous accumulation,

Already numbering in the millions.

He looked at the assassinated woman in wedding dress. The woman's weapon was still tightly held in her hand. It turned out to be a long silver sword, as long as a sword, but as thin as a finger, and the tip was as sharp as a needle point.

Everyone listened carefully when they heard the words. Zhao Tong asked: "Why?"

"Your Majesty, this subordinate deserves death, but he didn't realize that there was a scam in the pool!"

I don't know how long it took, but after an hour or two, the bell on one of the six ropes rang, signaling that someone was coming up.

Seeing that he was thinking about his own words, Zhao Tong couldn't help but feel happy and said: "It's okay. I wanted to see if there were any unique copies, but the Tang Dynasty was not that long ago. Even if I find it, it may not be out there."

Er Xia carried a bag that looked like a fishing net on his back. It was a mess and he didn't know what was inside. He was breathing heavily and lay on the ground unable to get up.

The young lady's bright eyes sparkled, she looked at Zhao Tong and whispered: "I'll just ask the prince to pay off the previous five thousand taels of debt. From now on, we will be cleared and have nothing to do with him."

This was an extremely unorthodox weapon, at least Zhao Tong had never seen it before, and the Emei thorn inserted into her chest was not seen very often. Zhao Tong's eyes suddenly fell on Liu Huiniang.

Zhao Tong nodded, thinking that it was always inappropriate, and said: "There is always a secret code between your brothers. Go and send it to Big Crab and ask him to come back. Don't delay down there."

After a moment, Zhao Tong said: "Where is the big crab?"

Huang Gu over there saw this, and several people pulled the rope up together, but what they saw at the end was Ding Er crab.

Zhao Tong looked at his mother, shook his head and said, "Don't mention money. It will hurt friendship. Let's talk about this later."

Er Xie always felt that this guy deserved to be beaten, but he always lacked the strength to do anything. He just hummed and said: "I am also a bachelor. I can't say that I really feel sorry for my ancestors."

When the two Ding brothers saw this, their eyes shone immediately, they rubbed their hands and said, "Kill it, hold it back."

"The true great king brings great blessings to the heavens, great blessings to the heavens."

After another long while, Big Crab said: "My lord, I saw many letters, all made of bamboo, and they have been soaked to pieces for a long time."

Big Crab said: "Your Majesty is so kind, don't dare to disobey me."

The two nodded and tied six ropes, but only held two of them slowly towards the cave. During the process, they lit lamps and candles from time to time and embedded them in the grooves of the crack wall.

Zhao Tong wondered: "Jade slips?"

He struggled to reach for the net pocket behind him, and Zhao Tong said: "It's not urgent. Your two brothers are tired. Isn't it more important than a pair of slips? Let's talk about this back home!"

After everyone returned, Zhao Tong arranged for the inspection of the water mouth of the nullah, and then returned to the mansion. The first thing he did was to go to the study to write a memorial and send it to the palace, saying that all the underground ditches had been cleared, but the water mouth above needed to have soldiers stationed there for years.

garrison.

After a day's rest, the next day they discussed their merits and rewarded them. Everyone was happy, but the girl was missing, which made Zhao Tong feel a little sad.

Zhao Tong's eyes twitched: "Hui Niang..."

"Your Majesty, this villain deserves to die!"

Zhao Tong waved his hand, his face slightly pale. Although he escaped the fatal blow, it also disturbed the aura in his body.

The second crab was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he saw the big crab crawling up and also lying on the ground breathing heavily.

Ding Er Xia said "poof" and said: "I don't think you want to call that gust of wind, just call it Bird's Mouth instead."

I saw the young lady saying slightly apologetically: "Your Majesty, it was a little late to take action, which frightened Your Majesty."

Ding Erxie then reluctantly said: "Reporting to the prince, when my two brothers went down, they saw water everywhere. The water was deep and cold, so they searched separately. Later, my brother told me that he had found an old temple, so he went there himself.

Please let me not panic and come up first."

Zhao Tong said: "I guess the place below should be Bianzhou City in the Tang Dynasty. Remember, you two, don't be greedy for the gold and silver belongings below. If you really want to take them with you, you can find a few copies of the slips that you can read. Just be careful with the rest."

Zhao Tong nodded and suddenly smiled and said: "Hui Niang, what you said is true. I was really frightened just now. If Hui Niang hadn't come to the rescue, I don't know what would have happened. I will definitely thank you."

"

Ouyang Bei looked at it funny and said: "I think it's good for one of us to go down. Don't leave without coming back. The ones left behind can also pass on the incense."

The two asked Zhao Tong for an order, then took off the ropes from their bodies and began to make arrangements. After a while, they lit a few torches and threw them down. They observed: "It's either very deep or there is water. If there is no rope, go down."

It will be difficult to come up again.”

While he was talking, suddenly another rope bell rang, and Ouyang Bei said: "I'm back, I'm back, I won't stop my incense now."

Ouyang Bei was not upset when he heard this, and just said: "You don't know that there are nine brothers of a certain person, and eight brothers have children, leaving a certain person free and happy."

The big crab nodded and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, I didn't find the bamboo slips, but I saw a rare pair. My subordinate felt it was smooth, but didn't look carefully. It seems to be a pair of jade slips."

After the lunch banquet, everyone dispersed, only Da Crab brought a box to the study, saying that it was a jade slip salvaged from the underground city, which he had cleaned and brought here specially.

Zhao Tong didn't pay attention. After the big crab left, he opened the box and looked at it. Sure enough, it was a good pair of jade slips. This thing alone was worth a lot of silver.

After picking it up, he spread it on the table and unfolded it gently. Looking at it under the afternoon sunshine, he saw that the jade slip was crystal clear and the four words on the head were clearly legible. After recognizing it, Zhao Tong couldn't help but stand up and took a deep breath.

With one breath, I suppressed the excitement in my heart.

The four characters engraved on the end are clear.
