Wind and Rain Empire

Inside the Catacombs of Chongqing

Lan Xueyi and his party walked out of the dungeon where they were held, and saw the resplendent compartment from a distance, filled with shining gold objects and pierced corpses, the brilliance of the gold objects competed with the blood, forming a beautiful scene. An extremely bloody and ironic picture

As he walked, Lan Xueyi asked the young man in charge

"Little brother, I haven't asked your name yet, so I don't know how to address you?"

young man replied

"The villain's surname is Li, with a single name and one character"

Lan Xueyi was puzzled and asked

"Then what is the relationship between your ancestors and Li Bai?"

Li Xing smiled

"The benefactor is joking, right? Our family should have nothing to do with Li Bai, but we can barely have something to do with the descendants of the Li Tang dynasty."

Lan Xueyi walked towards the seat and pointed at

"It is under this throne that we discovered Li Bai's poems and the jigsaw puzzle of Jiugongge. It is only after opening this that we discovered the secret room."

Li Xing looked at it for a long time, then nodded half understanding

"That's how it is (looks at the throne) Why is the throne gone?"

Lan Xueyi, Zi Linglong, and Zhang Tianyu looked at Zhang Tiancheng

Zhang Tiancheng's guilty answer

"Well... I don't know, the throne is gone as soon as we come here, it's just rotten...it's rotten there, we opened it to see the poem..."

Li Xing glanced at the tattered chair

"Anyway, it's not worth anything (go to the secret room, to everyone) Since everyone is here, you can get some, you can't let these brothers die in vain."

Lan Xueyi's eyes signaled Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu to go up and get some, so the two brothers followed the flow of people forward

Li Xing hooked the handles of the utensils with a long wooden stick, picked them out one by one and distributed them, and distributed one gold utensil to each person on average.

Zi Linglong patted Lan Xueyi lightly.

"He said that he is a descendant of Li Tang's royal family and he is familiar with this tomb. Could it be that this tomb belongs to his ancestors?"

Lan Xueyi nodded

"It's very possible... Maybe it's his ancestor's grave that he doesn't know about."

Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Tiancheng came back holding two gold pots full of gold coins

Zhang Tianyu weighed the golden jar

"Don't look at such a small thing, it's really heavy, it's worthy of pure gold"

Zhang Tiancheng struggled to hold the gold jar

"Actually, these things themselves were discovered by us, and they should belong to us."

Lan Xueyi gave him a white look

"According to your theory, oh! Whoever finds it will belong to him, so this treasure should belong to the Jin people?"

Zhang Tiancheng stared wide-eyed

"How can that be? How can you say that?"

Zi Linglong hastened to smooth things over

"Okay, okay, it's good that everyone is assigned. Seeing them go and get ready to go, we should also get ready to go out (Ask Zhang Tiancheng and the two of you) Can you hold them? It looks very heavy"

Zhang Tiancheng took a bite of the handle of the golden jar

"Even if I am killed, I have to take it out, otherwise, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong, then shook her head

Li Xing stepped forward to confront Lan Xueyi.

"Benefactor, now everyone has been assigned, and you can leave, but before I leave, I have a merciless request"

"you say it"

Li Xing pointed to another passage in the tomb

"According to our family's rumors, there is more than one treasure in this tomb, and there should be a bigger one, which contains rare treasures, but we need to find a key to open the gate. I have never found out where the key is. , I want you to help me find it"

Lan Xueyi vs. Zhang Tiancheng

"Give him the key"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at Lan Xueyi and shook his head desperately

"No, this is what I found"

"Give it to him, this is their family tomb, everything should belong to him"

Zhang Tiancheng couldn't resist Lan Xueyi, so he reluctantly took out the key and handed it to Li Xing

"Give it to you, if there is any valuable points, I will be fine."

Li Xing took the key and was happy

"sure!"

Li Xing led Lan Xueyi and his group to the side of the compartment. He probed the wall with his hand and pressed down on the wall with two fingers. Two round holes appeared, and a thin stone wall rose upwards. From here, a narrow road appears

At the end of the narrow passage stands an earthen staircase, and below the staircase are two obvious gates, each with a keyhole

Li Xing was in trouble with the key in his hand, and asked Lan Xueyi

"Which side do you think I should drive better?"

"Which side can be opened, whichever side can be opened."

Lan Xueyi is right

Li Xing first went to the gate on the left to try it out. The one-foot-high gate burst open, accompanied by a thick layer of dust falling from the top.

A row of exquisite jade articles and national seals are placed on the cabinet inside, as well as dragon robes hanging on the wall.

Zi Linglong and the other three looked at Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi saw everyone looking at him

"What do you see me doing? I didn't hang it up"

Zi Linglong stepped forward and touched the dragon robe

"Is he treasonous? Even the texture is the same"

"Let's not talk about it"

Lan Xueyi vs Li Xing

"You handle this matter yourself, everyone has seen this dragon robe."

Zhang Tiancheng saw writing on the back of the dragon robe

"There is a text on the back of the clothes (open the dragon robe, read it) Seeing the robe is like seeing the ancestors, vowing to restore the rivers and mountains - Li Qinshu, the minister of Li Zhengyan's family"

Lan Xueyi paused for a moment, suddenly realized

"Oh~~! It's the grandson of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Zhengyan (turning to look at Li Xing) who is this Li Qin from your family?"

Li Xing shook his head

"I don't know, I only know that my grandfather's name is Li Jian, but he passed away early, so maybe they are brothers?"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the key in the keyhole, and said to Li Xing

"Use the key to open the door on the right, and see if you can open it"

Li Xing pulled out the key and walked towards the stone gate on the right. Just as he turned the key, the key broke into the stone gate with a "click".

Then there was an unknown sound of "dong", the top of the stone gate on the left collapsed, and a large amount of soil fell down.

Seeing that the ground started to crack again, Zi Linglong yelled

"No, the ground is about to collapse, run!"

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong ran up the stairs, while Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu couldn't run while holding the gold jar

Lan Xueyi hurriedly probed downwards

"Hurry up, this staircase is about to collapse!"

Zhang Tiancheng held up the jar to show Lan Xueyi

"Holding the jar, it's too heavy to run!"

"Then you throw it away!"

Just after finishing speaking, Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong ran out in three steps in parallel.

Among the group of young people at the bottom were those who snatched the jade and the imperial seal. Li Xing watched the crowd robbing one another, but he frowned tightly and ran up the stairs and out of the cave without taking anything.

Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Tiancheng threw down the golden pot, and unfortunately they also knocked out a young man who was grabbing jade

The four of Li Xing, Lan Xueyi and his party rushed out of the stairs at the last moment. Standing on the ground, they saw the mound of soil sinking, and then a large amount of water came out. A bag of soil turned into a pit, and then the pit quickly disappeared. into a puddle

Lan Xueyi vs. Zhang Tiancheng

"It depends on whether you two want your life or the gold pot, it's a matter of life and death, and you still hold on to that broken pot"

"Didn't I listen to your words and let it go? It's good now, I didn't get anything."

Zhang Tiancheng complained dejectedly

Zi Linglong sighed

"You should be glad you're still alive (turning to Lan Xueyi) But now how do you report to the officials?"

Lan Xueyi expressionless

"Why don't you just tell the truth? Just say that the treasure land is broken. If you don't believe me, send someone to see it."

Zhang Tianyu interjected at this time

"Don't call me a crow's mouth, I feel that this matter is not over yet"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the three of them and asked in puzzlement.

"Aren't you wondering what's in the stone door on the right? If there is another key, where will it be hidden? I've been thinking about it all the time."

Li Xing looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"This big brother is right. I have been looking for the key for a long time. I have almost searched the entire tomb without seeing another key."

Zi Linglong remembered her experience

"I've seen such a tunnel before. If it's connected, it's easy to say. Maybe it's in other passages (looking at Zhang Tiancheng) or just under people's noses, under their buttocks"

Lan Xueyi and Zhang Tianyu laughed together

Li Xing's eyes kept looking at the puddle, as if he felt unwilling and melancholy

Lan Xueyi walks towards Li Xing

"Little brother, don't think about it anymore. Sometimes you must have something in your life, and you can't force it at all times in your life. Especially when manpower can't do it, these things have already been buried with the passing of people. You don't need to worry about it. Just Let them be buried in the ground with the vicissitudes of life. Maybe one day when human beings can do it, they will return to the world and tell a story that people don’t know.”

Li Xing smiled and looked at Lan Xueyi

"It's not that I regret those things, but those who escaped with us, did not rebel, were not killed by the Jinren, but for some things outside of the body, they fought so hard that they even lost their lives, playing with me since childhood That little brother of mine snatched a piece of jade from someone else... for a piece of jade!"

Zhang Tianyu sighed

"People make money and birds die for food. It has existed since ancient times. People have their own ambitions. Don't criticize them. After all, they are no longer alive."

Lan Xueyi nodded to the two brothers of the Zhang family

"You still talk about others, just that golden pot, I can laugh for a year"

"Okay, don't be emotional (patted Li Xing's shoulder) Little brother, go home quickly, lest your parents worry."

Zi Linglong said softly

Lan Xueyi finally came to a conclusion

"No wonder the magistrate said that there are people crying here at night, and there is light in the ground. This is easy to explain, because there is an underground palace below with an ever-burning lamp, and those who are arrested will cry."

Zhang Tianyu vs Lan Xueyi

"Then let's go back and report to the prefect."

Lan Xueyi nodded and turned to Li Xing

"Little brother, take care, we are leaving"

Li Xing nodded and cupped his hands towards Lan Xueyi

"Benefactors, goodbye by fate"
