"This should be arranged according to the Eight Diagrams. There is only one way to survive." Dong Chao took out the compass as he ran, but the compass had already failed.

"I need time."

"There's no time!" said the fat man.

Tang Xuanxuan finally found the medicine bottle and said proudly: "Dang, Deng, itchy powder." She shook it happily.

"Bring it to you." Shen Xingliu snatched it away, turned around and threw it at the slug. When he got close, he used pebbles to smash the bottle.

The itching powder was immediately sprinkled all over the slug's body. It twisted its body wildly, trying to rub the itching powder away, but several more medicine bottles came with the sound of wind.

The slug was smashed all over its body, but it didn't help.

Everyone looked at the miserable state of the slug, and it seemed that even their own bodies were beginning to itch. Shen Xingliu remembered that she had said before that she sprinkled the itch powder on Bai Luoluo's body as medicinal powder, and she couldn't help but feel cold.

"Quickly get rid of those little slugs." Tang Xuanxuan seemed to be doing magic, and took out five bottles of itching powder and threw it to them.

After a meal, the ground was covered with the bodies of small slugs, and the big slugs were lying on the ground dying.

Dong Chao panted heavily and went to study the eight cave entrances. The compass failed and he could only calculate by hand.

Tang Xuanxuan naughtily stirred the little slug with a branch.

Branch? Where did the branch come from? Shen Xingliu felt bad at the moment and searched around, and told Fatty and the twin brothers to look for any holes.

Dong Chao was in front of the eight cave entrances, calculating the directions hard.

"Success, I succeeded!" Dong Chao suddenly exclaimed.

Shen Xingliu came over with a solemn expression and said, "I have something to tell you. I just found a burglary hole in the corner."

"No matter, it's a dead horse but a live doctor, and they may not be able to crack these eight holes." Dong Chao made up his mind.

"Then let's go." Shen Xingliu slapped the branch off Tang Xuanxuan's hand and said.

Dong Chao entered the third cave first and led the way, and six people entered one after another.

There are no complicated mazes or hidden weapons in the cave, which proves that his choice was correct.

Coming out of the cave, a huge space first comes into view.

"Wow! How free the previous dynasty was, they actually carved out such a big space in the canyon." Shen Xingliu couldn't help complaining.

An abyss six feet long and bottomless blocked their way. The only passage was a dilapidated white jade bridge across it.

They crossed the bridge cautiously. The walls of the originally grand military city had collapsed and the city gates had long since become crumbling.

Entering the city with a sad heart, the houses and roads were all dilapidated.

Who would have thought that 200,000 troops were once stationed here?

Shen Xingliu held Tang Xuanxuan's hand tightly. The atmosphere around him was very strange. After feeling the former's nervousness, she squeezed his hand gently.

"No matter what happens, I will be with you." Tang Xuanxuan said with a blushing face.

Shen Xingliu turned to look at her and said, "No, if you encounter danger, I want you to run away immediately."

"I don't want anything to happen to you, because my heart will hurt!" After a long silence, he continued.

Tang Xuanxuan looked at him emotionally, as if there was nothing to be afraid of with him around.

"Booba!"

Tang Xuanxuan stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Shen Xingliu behind the ear. She peeked at the person in front of her with a guilty conscience, but luckily she was not discovered.

Shen Xingliu was caught off guard by being "beaten", but the raised corners of his mouth betrayed his state of mind.

Arriving at the square in the center of the city, a bronze hall suddenly appeared.

"Wow, such a big deal?" Tang Xuanxuan said in surprise.

Dong Chao and the others happily stepped forward and leaned on the bronze door, trying to push the door open. Even though they were all second-grade warriors, the door still did not move at all.

"Damn it." The fat man punched the door.

"call out!"

A dart came, and Shen Xingliu drew his knife to knock it away.

"Thank you so much, young hero, for coming to the rescue." The fat man cupped his fists and thanked him, still feeling a little scared.

Shen Xingliu nodded and accepted the thanks, put the sword into its sheath, looked at the three-foot-high bronze door, and said, "It doesn't look like it can be tough. There seems to be a keyhole there."

"Fat man, get down, I'll go up and take a look." Dong Chao heard this and climbed up with a torch to take a look.

After looking at it for a while, he sighed and said: "This is the dragon-binding lock. If my guess is correct, there should be a dragon-binding stone at the entrance of the cave. If the mechanism is alerted, the stone door will fall and the dragon will be trapped."

Shen Xingliu touched the door and said, "Can't even you open it?"

"I'm just an ordinary local master. General Meng never gave up and became the captain of the corps. This kind of lock may not even be found in the tombs of emperors." Dong Chao said mockingly to himself.

It is clear that by opening this door, he can save Yaowang Gu, but how can everything in the world go as planned.

Dong Chao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Shen is a great talent. Even if I can't get the ancient jade, I will recommend you to the general."

"Hehehe! Who said we can't get the ancient jade? Humph."

Following the words, Tang Xuanxuan was looking at the two of them with a proud expression.

"Can you open the Dragon Binding Lock?" Shen Xingliu asked in surprise.

"This is natural," Tang Xuanxuan raised her thin eyebrows and puffed up her cheeks, and said to the surprised Shen Xingliu, "How dare you underestimate me again."

Very good, exactly the expression I want to see.

Several people stepped aside and saw two jade bracelet-like iron rings appearing on Hao's previously empty wrist. They were two fingers high and one finger wide. There was a circle of small holes on them. These were the mother-and-son rings.

.

Tang Xuanxuan took out two dolls from the bag and started playing with them with a smile.

Now is not the time to play with puppets, hey, everyone screamed inwardly!

Tang Xuanxuan saw this and stopped teasing them.

Throw the puppet into the air, open your arms, and separate several threads from the parent-child rings and connect them to the puppet. The puppet is now flying in the air as if it has life.

"What a miraculous skill!" the fat man exclaimed.

"This thread looks like your sect's fishing net." Shen Xingliu said thoughtfully.

"They are not from my sect," Tang Xuanxuan said, showing off: "This is my Tang sect's silk thread. It is made of hundreds of refined steel. It is not hot in summer and frost-free in winter. It is not afraid of water, fire, or swords and axes."

The famous name of the Tang Sect is well known even to those who serve in the army like Dong Chao.

A member of the Tang sect, he is good at using hidden weapons and poisons. He can control puppets with his silk-drawing skills and can kill enemies thousands of miles away.

.The most critical thing is that Youshan's mechanism lock spring is in the same place as the other two.

Shen Xingliu tilted his head, full of question marks.

Seeing his silly look, Tang Xuanxuan chuckled and said, "Fool."

"Thousands of possibilities!"

With a soft voice, the puppet flew up to the bronze door, pinched the filaments with slender jade fingers, and kept playing like playing a guqin. The puppet kept changing tools in its hands and slid them on the dragon-binding lock.

After about a minute of drinking tea, I heard a "click" and the bronze door opened in response.

"Take it." Tang Xuanxuan waved her hand lightly, and the puppet flew back into her hand. She looked at Shen Xingliu like a child waiting for praise for doing something good.

Shen Xingliu gently touched her head and said gently: "You did a good job." Tang Xuanxuan's beautiful eyes were as curved as crescent moons, and she smiled happily.

The group of people didn't waste any time. When they entered the main hall, they saw a skeleton sitting on the main seat, with something on the left and right handrails.

Dong Chao and the three men immediately kowtowed, after all, these were the people who guarded the territory of the previous dynasty!

Dong Chao stepped forward, took the wooden box on the left, opened it and saw a city-linked jade lying in it. The jade was covered with light flashing.

"The traditional jade that has been lost for more than a hundred years has finally been found, hahaha." Dong Chao looked up to the sky and roared.

An arrogant voice came from outside the palace, saying: "Now that you have found it, come out and die quickly."

Dong Chao put away the wooden box and held the knife, saying: "Brother Shen, I will leave the jade jade passed down to you for safekeeping. If we can't get out, we hope to send it to the city."

After that, he cut his finger and wrote on the white cloth, this person is trustworthy!

"I have to ask you one more thing. Can you go to Yudu Fireworks Alley to deliver a letter from the Feng family to my wife?" Dong Chao bandaged the wound, tied the wooden box behind Shen Xingliu, and said.

"It just so happens that I am also going to Yudu to find my relatives."

Dong Chao handed him the letter and Wu Changling and said: "Tell my daughter that her father is not ashamed and is a hero!"

Determined to die, he and the three fat men came to the square in front of the palace.

In the square, three hundred soldiers from Beirou were arrayed in front, led by four of Xiao Rang's personal soldiers.

"Beirou people, why do you have my sheepskin map?" Dong Chao pointed his knife at the four soldiers and asked.

The soldier laughed and said, "Keep your sheepskin map for wiping. Grandpa's map is more detailed than yours."
