Fu Xin refused: "Why do you say that Uncle Master was not killed by this kid!"
Liu Ruyan didn't like the tone of his voice, and her face naturally didn't look good: "The reason is very simple. Unexpectedly, some people can't see through it."
"What do you mean? Please explain it clearly to me!"
Liu Ruyan felt that he was too noisy, but she still patiently explained: "The long sword that A Lan wore was not stained with blood. Secondly, he was small in stature. If he wanted to stab the deceased in the throat, the direction of the sword tip should be diagonal."
It penetrated upward. But the sword marks on the deceased's body were straight through, so the murderer was tall."
Her eyes were focused: "Looking for someone who is about five feet seven tall, has practiced swordsmanship for more than ten years, carries a sword an inch and a half wide, and was standing near the deceased when the incident occurred."
As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone looked at the same man, who was Elder Jiang of Xuantian Sect.
Elder Jiang stared at Liu Ruyan dangerously and asked, "I have no enmity with the Qingyan sect, why should I kill him?"
Ah Lan had almost been unjustly accused just now, so he naturally learned how to divert misfortune: "Because Senior Jiang was afraid that the Qingyan sect would seize the sword tomb, so he struck first."
Hearing this, Dugu Yi walked straight towards Elder Jiang, cupped his fists and said, "Junior would like to borrow the sword in my senior's hand for a look. If there is no blood on the sword, I should apologize."
"How can you not allow you to touch the sword of my majestic Xuantian Sect Grand Elder?"
He sent the person away with just a few words. Fu Xin was extremely unhappy. He rolled up his sleeves and tried to grab him, but with his little martial arts skills, he was no match for Elder Jiang.
At this time, a small copper coin passed through the crowd and hit the scabbard with a "clop" sound. The force was so great that the sword in Elder Jiang's hand was unsheathed and the sword screamed like a cry.
All the people present were martial arts people, but no one could reach the state of perfection. Liu Ruyan glanced at Shen Yanchu from the corner of her eye. Well, the devil is indeed a devil. Sure enough, he had a clear understanding with her. There was no ambiguity at the critical moment.
.
Ling Yun was dumbfounded, not for anything else but because the Lord personally asked for the copper coin. As for why he wanted to take action?
Ling Yun scratched his head and searched in every possible way. He must have had a deep and foresighted plan by his lord, which could not be understood by an ordinary person like him.
The long sword came out of its sheath, and Dugu Yi quickly took it with quick eyes and hands. Seeing that the blood on it was still wet, there was no doubt that the murderer was Elder Jiang.
Dugu Yi pointed his sword at the opponent. The wind of the sword stirred up dust. Dugu Yi's azure gown fluttered with the wind. He said in a low voice: "Senior Jiang is still going to deny it now?"
Elder Jiang held his head high and did not look at him: "It was clearly that guy Murong who suddenly rushed over. In order to prevent someone from attacking me, I always paid attention to the movement behind me. Fortunately, I reacted in time. You Qingyan sect harbored evil intentions and died because of me.
By the sword, he is just bringing about his own destruction."
"Nonsense!" Fu Xin was furious, "My uncle is a decent man and can never be like what you say. You killed my uncle in front of you and slandered him in the back. We, the Qingyan sect, will never do this.
I will give up and give up!"
Other Qingyan Sect disciples also echoed in unison: "We are incompatible with the Xuantian Sect!"
Seeing that the two gangs were about to fight, Dugu Yi was worried that the matter would end badly if it got too big. He hurriedly grabbed Fu Xin and advised from the side: "We will settle this debt after we get out. Now we need to find the sword tomb."
Fu Xin bit his back teeth and stared at Elder Jiang as if his eyes were quenched with poison: "Let's see!"
Elder Jiang's face was ashen and he didn't take Fu Xin seriously at all.
Seeing that the people in Jianzhong didn't make a fuss at all, Tufuzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There were many mechanisms in this stone chamber, and if there was a big fuss, they would only be able to back it up.
"If you heroes have rested enough, why don't we continue on our way?" The leader of the group, the Tufuzi, smiled cheekily.
Alan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, hurry up."
Others adhere to a prudent and protective attitude towards the disputes between the sects. Since no one from the Mingjian Sect wants to meddle in other people's affairs, let alone those from other small sects.
"That's right, lead the way quickly. I don't want to stay in a ghost place like this for a moment."
The native master didn't want to stay any longer, so he led the group of people forward in a mighty manner.
When everyone came to the end of the stone room, a gold-painted copper door appeared in front of them. It was several feet high and was as thick as a city gate. The entire door occupied most of the wall, and what was even more amazing was that the position where they were standing at this moment was
It's inside the door.
"Brother, look at this door." Tufuzi pointed at the iron cables and winch beside the copper door, and couldn't help but express his surprise.
Seeing this, the elder brother took a few steps towards the winch, grabbed the iron rope and tried to open the door.
The iron rope was rusty and very heavy. He tried his best but could not move it even half an inch. Then more people joined in one after another. It was not until the five strong men joined forces that they heard a sound from the chain, and the interlocking iron ropes finally slowed down.
Turn it around.
"One, two, three, get up!" The five people exerted their strength, the winch rotated rapidly with a "clatter", and then, the copper door opened upwards.
Behind the bronze door, a turbid air rushed towards him, and the torches flickered in the breeze. The Tufuzi subconsciously took two steps back, pulled up the cloth tied around his neck, and covered his mouth and nose.
Others followed suit, and some even took out poison pills and prepared to take them.
Only Bai Zhi walked through the copper door without squinting. It seemed that she didn't know there was poison inside.
Tufuzi quickly spoke up and stopped Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi stopped and looked at the anti-poison pills in the hands of those people. She smiled and shook her head: "There are no poisons behind the bronze gate. If you take the pill by mistake, it will be harmful to your health."
Liu Ruyan has always believed in Bai Zhi's judgment. Since he can be sure, it means that there is no poison in it to be afraid of.
The crowd crossed the bronze gate in twos and threes. A-Lan stared at the poison-proof pill in his hand, then glanced at the master secretly, and secretly hid the pill in his sleeve.
Liu Ruyan was the last group to go in, and found that the people who had come in earlier were still blocked in front, as if they were trapped by something and could no longer move forward.
"Why aren't you leaving?" She bypassed the crowd and came to the front. She saw Bai Zhi standing there motionless. Liu Ruyan used the light to see that the dark area in front of her was actually an underground river.
The river flows around the bronze gate, just like a moat.
She looked up and looked around. Based on the mountain topography and landform, it was impossible for there to be a water source in this mine unless a canal was dug to divert the water into it.
But the river in front of her was wide, and there was no rope bridge to cross it. She didn't know how the miners transported the ore back then.
Bai Zhi also noticed this. He squatted down and looked into the water: "Maybe there were boats at that time, and using river water to carry ore could save manpower."
Liu Ruyan still had doubts about his point of view. It was not a wise move to dig trenches and then divert water into them.
Everything in front of us is not as simple as transporting copper ore, but rather like preventing someone from escaping from the mine. Could it be that the miners back then were people in prison and we couldn't let them out?
Liu Ruyan approached the river and explored the calm water surface with her bare hands. The channel was indeed not very deep.
