Just as Li Bing pulled the rope down to the ground, he caught a glimpse of a flashlight, its light getting weaker and weaker, being thrown on the ground.

He untied the rope around his waist and took a closer look. He saw that it was an underground palace with a unique shape.

The underground palace is not large in area. The ground is square, and the surrounding areas converge upward to form a round arch. Li Bing thought for a moment and understood the meaning. This is based on the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round.

The entire underground palace is composed of diamond walls made of blue bricks, and there are even no other passages. In the center of the underground palace, there is a huge Bagua shape made of bricks. Apart from this, there is nothing else in the underground palace.

Obviously, this is not an ancient tomb, but more like an altar.[

What confused Li Bing was that there were many small black holes on the diamond walls surrounding the underground palace.

There are many dark branch-like things scattered on the ground of the underground palace.

Li Bing picked it up and took a look. Fang felt that it was heavy in his hand. It turned out that these black things were actually arrow branches made of cast iron. Although they were corroded, the sharpness of the arrow tips could still be felt.

Li Bing immediately understood in his heart that this was a mechanism designed in the underground palace. As soon as he thought about it, he broke into a cold sweat.

Li Bing quickly turned to the back of the Bagua altar. The sight made him scream in agony uncontrollably.

I saw a man lying half on the ground leaning against the altar, his body covered with iron arrows, like a hedgehog.

There was a pool of black blood seeping into the ground, and an iron arrow hit the man's right eye. Although the dead man opened his mouth wide and his face was distorted by fright and pain, Li Bing still recognized the man who was shot to death by the iron arrow at a glance. The person in question is none other than the wanted tomb robber Jin Bomiao.

Under Jin Bomiao's body, there are three stone steps, which are the only way to climb to the tall Bagua Altar.

Li Bing carefully stepped on the stone steps and made no movement, and then he felt relieved.

He was secretly glad in his heart. If Jin Bomiao hadn't entered the underground palace first and was lying in a pool of blood with several iron arrows in his body, I'm afraid it would have been either him or Qian Yiduo.

Li Bing wiped away the dense cold sweat on his forehead, calmed down, and stepped onto the three stone steps.

He opened his eyes and looked at the altar. As he expected, it had a Bagua shape outlined with stone strips. What made him feel strange was that there was no common Yin-Yang fish pattern in the middle of the Bagua diagram, but instead An exquisite small box made of nanmu.

Li Bing scooped up the nanmu box, with a small copper lock hanging on it.

He didn't have time to think about anything. Hearing Qian Yiduo's anxious call at the entrance of the thief's cave, he quickly put the small box into his pocket and left the underground palace.

After listening to Li Bing's narration, Qian Yiduo was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. Without saying a word, the two of them quickly left the underground palace and walked quickly to the parking lot of Baihu Temple.

After getting in the car, Qian Yiduo asked softly: "Li Bing, do you want to report this matter to Team Song?"

Li Bing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Brother Qian, you must not tell Captain Song about this. Think about it, if we don't say anything, others will sooner or later discover this stolen white van parked in front of Baihu Temple. , they will also find the underground palace that was blown up by explosives. When the criminal police team receives the report, they will find Jin Bomiao dead inside. And the secret of Jin Bomiao's greed for the White Tiger's treasure has been known. He died in the underground palace mechanism, and This will allow the criminal police team to close the case."

"If we report it, how can we explain to the criminal police why we went up the mountain at night? What's more difficult is how to prove to others that Jin Bomiao was not killed by us? Therefore, we must not tell Captain Song about this matter."

Qian Yiduo nodded, and the two of them quickly drove back to the small hotel.[

Zhao Waner and the other three people were waiting anxiously. They were all overjoyed to see Li Bing and Qian Yiduo return safely.

Li Bing closed the door and said lightly: "Jin Bomiao is dead!" and stopped talking. Everyone was shocked. Qian Yiduo understood everything after retelling what happened tonight.

Li Bing took out the exquisite nanmu box, carefully placed it on the table, and observed it carefully.

He took out the knife and easily opened the small copper lock that had become bent.

Thinking of the terrifying mechanism in the underground palace, Li Bing said solemnly: "To prevent any unexpected events, you all should stay away."

Everyone was extremely worried and wanted to stop Li Bing from opening the mysterious little box. Li Bing firmly rejected everyone's kindness and insisted on asking them to stay aside.

Everyone could only get out of the way. Li Bing carefully opened the box and found that there was no scary mechanism, so everyone felt relieved.

I saw that in the nanmu box, the bottom was lined with yellow satin, and a fish-shaped bronze vessel was placed in the middle.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel that this small box had been kept in the underground palace for who knows how many years, but the silk and satin inside was so well preserved.

Li Bing carefully reached into the box, and wherever he touched, the bases of the silks and satins immediately turned into powder. Only then did Li Bing realize that these silks and satins seemed to be well preserved, but in fact they had been corroded by weathering.

He carefully took out the small fish-shaped bronze vessel and kept holding it, wondering why there was only half of the fish-shaped bronze vessel.

Li Bing was puzzled and said to himself: "On the Bagua altar, there is no yin and yang fish pattern in the middle. It makes sense to use this small fish to replace the clam. But why is there only half of the small fish? If it is really yin and yang. If it’s a fish, it should be a pair!”

Zhang Yuanshan nodded, he was also very surprised, and sighed: "Li Bing, you are right. If one of the yin and yang fish is missing, the yin and yang fish will not become a yin and yang fish. Could it be that someone entered this underground palace and scooped up the other half of the yin and yang fish?" "

Li Bing shook his head and said: "Impossible, no one has entered this underground palace before. I guess that at the beginning of the construction of this underground palace, the builders left clues to future generations, that is, they carved on the ancient pagoda of Baihu Temple Those prophecies. This prophecy has been handed down all the time, so no one should have been able to unravel it before."

"Since the secret of this prophecy is known, no one knows the location of this underground palace. Moreover, the structure of the underground palace is quite strange. There is no door to open the underground palace. In addition, there are mechanisms inside, but Jin Bomiao entered before me. It was started only after the underground palace. From this, it can be seen that no one has entered this underground palace since it was built."

This time, everyone was even more confused.

Zhao Waner said with some disappointment: "I thought that we had solved the mystery of the white tiger. Who would have thought that we were wrong again. There was no white tiger in the underground palace, but only the half of the small copper fish. This is so disappointing. What’s even more frightening is that if Jin Boya hadn’t struck first, we don’t know what would have happened to Li Bing and Brother Qian!”
