Drunk Yangzhou

Xiao Ge first woke up in the dark, he couldn't tell what was going on around him, he could only smell the stale and decaying smell, which made his head dizzy.

Recalling the situation before he lost consciousness, Xiao Ge rushed to touch the people around him, but first he touched a large stick-like thing under his body, which was still covered with clothes, presumably it was a human bone!

This time, he couldn't help being terrified, not knowing Fu Yiting's situation, Xiao Ge's heart became more flustered and helpless, he knelt and searched around for a while, and finally touched a body behind him, they were familiar enough to touch the skin on his body Qiu, Xiao Ge already knew it was him.

"Qi Shao, Qi Shao..." He yelled twice first, then tremblingly groped for his wrist, feeling the pulse in Fu Yiting's hand was still beating vigorously, Xiao Ge heaved a sigh of relief.

He hugged his knees in this strange and terrifying area and waited quietly for him to wake up. He should have thought about ways to escape, but now all his thoughts naturally stopped at the moment when he was swallowed by the sand.

Is this the king of Qin who will do whatever it takes to fight for power?Xiao Ge clearly remembered that when he was in trouble, he was unwilling to leave, and the panic, reluctance, helplessness, and regret in those pitch-black eyes were all the most instinctive and true reactions.

In his heart, have I reached the point of giving up my life?

Xiao Ge thought hard about Fu Yiting's motives, but he really couldn't believe his own judgment just now.

Did he know that he would not die if he fell into quicksand?

When Xiao Ge thought of this again, he couldn't help blaming himself for being suspicious. He reached out to touch the man's face, the skin on the cheeks under the sand was fine and smooth, and there were some stubbles around the lips, which indicated the vitality of youth.

He stroked it tenderly, and two lines of tears fell quietly.

At this time, the man has already woken up and grabbed Xiao Ge's hand.

"Huaijie..." Fu Yiting sucked in a lot of dust in his throat, he was a little hoarse, and said half-jokingly, "This is the Underworld? Why is it so dilapidated?"

Xiao Ge smiled softly, "If you say something stupid, we will die somewhere."

"Where is this?" Fu Yiting sat up and touched a pile of hard bones, "Did we fall from above?"

"I don't know where, the animals and pedestrians who were swallowed by the quicksand all came here."

Fu Yiting was silent for a while in the dark, some thoughts from this morning gradually returned to his mind, relying on his act of risking his life to accompany a gentleman, he began to pull Xiao Ge to interrogate, "Where did you go to Moyang Buddhist Temple last night?"

Xiao Ge no longer concealed the situation, "Exactly. To be precise, it should have passed after we broke up yesterday. In order to prevent your eyeliner, I didn't stop in Wu Junying at all."

"So that's it!" Fu Yiting slapped his thigh regretfully, "Then what did Ruhai say when he gave you the Golden Buddha?"

"He didn't say too much about the Golden Buddha, he only said that his task has been completed, and he is at ease now." Thinking of his death, Xiao Ge realized that those words were farewell, and sighed, "He seems to have guessed I was entrusted by you, and he said to just give things to the right people, as for how I use it, it is my freedom and choice, and he must not interfere."

"The old monk is persistent enough." Fu Yiting also sighed, his eyes became sharp again, "Didn't you kill him?"

"Fu Yiting! Do you still want to fight over this?" Xiao Ge couldn't help becoming angry again.

"Okay, okay, I believe." Fu Yiting hurriedly put his arms around him to comfort him, and then said in surprise, "No, why didn't he tell you the usefulness of the Golden Buddha?"

"The Golden Buddha is equivalent to capturing the military talisman of Dunhuang. What's the use? I don't need to hide it from you at this moment. Master Ruhai really didn't tell me." Xiao Ge frowned and forced the other party to say, "Fu Qishao, you Know what, tell the truth quickly!"

Only then did Fu Yiting briefly describe the relationship between the treasures he knew and the Golden Buddha.

"Stupid, stupid!" Xiao Ge thought carefully for a while, "You believe things that have no real evidence, and you still spend such a lot of trouble to coax me here, you are really crazy about money."

"Where there is no wind, there are no waves." Seeing that the two of them did not die after falling into the quicksand, Fu Yiting felt even more reasonable in his heart. He just concealed the rumors that Lin Yizhi had said before, and he still wanted to show that by sinking into the sand with him. own mind.

What a shrewd person Xiao Ge was, when he heard about the treasure, he had some doubts about Fu Yiting's motives, but he didn't show it, and immediately got up and patted the dust on himself, "Let's go, we have to get out as soon as possible." This place, otherwise you will be waiting to die here."

The two of them stepped forward on the pile of bones and bumped into several stone walls. They couldn't help being shocked. This was obviously a trace of someone repairing it. When they touched the wall inwards, they felt a dark wind slowly blowing against them. face.

"This place is accessible, so don't worry about being out of breath." Fu Yiting said, "We have to find a way to light the fire, otherwise we won't be able to see anything clearly."

Xiao Ge pulled out the double knives around his waist and handed them to Fu Yiting. Fu Yiting slashed fiercely on the wall with the knives, and scattered sparks splashed out.

Xiao Ge took off a few cotton clothes from the pile of dead bodies just now, and the two of them struggled for a long time to make the clothes catch fire.

"Your precious sword is almost useless." Fu Yiting panted, and he was also exhausted.

"No problem." Taking advantage of the light, Xiao Ge moved towards the direction where the air was coming from, "I think this is also a tunnel where people have stayed, it's better to find a torch, the clothes will be burnt out in a while."

When the two of them reached the end of the stone wall, there was another bottomless stone step. Fu Yiting stretched out the clothes in his hand into the passage, and the flames did not shrink. With the oil lamps hanging, Fu Yiting took down a few with all his strength, found another leg bone, stirred some tung oil, and used it as a torch, and then went down, but there was another stone door with gaps around it, but he couldn't push it open no matter what. .

"I know why people trapped in quicksand die here." Xiao Ge sighed, "Although they didn't suffocate in the sand, they couldn't get out from here, so they were all trapped to death."

"Is the golden Buddha on your body?" Fu Yiting asked.

Xiao Ge nodded, and took out the emerald golden Buddha from his bosom, under the torch, the gilt was dazzling, and the emerald was as crystal as a toad.

"How can it be so similar to my Yinhu?" Fu Yiting saw the exquisite appearance, and touched his waist. The jadeite Yinhu that had been with him since childhood was still hanging there, and it kept gnawing at him when he was fighting on it. waist, he almost tore it off in a fit of anger and threw it away.

"Oh?" Xiao Ge took a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised, the creation of the two is obviously a method, no wonder he felt familiar with the Golden Buddha last night, because he had seen this tiger on Fu Yiting.

There is a mechanism in Moyang Buddhist Temple. Ruhai turned the incense burner gently last night. I don’t know where it touched. The giant Buddha statue in the main hall turned its direction, and a dark cabinet flashed out. The moment he picked it up, the dark cabinet closed tightly again.

After returning to the camp, Xiao Ge observed carefully, there were three key-like holes under the golden Buddha, which might hide some secrets, he was holding a silver tiger to compare, and sure enough, he saw faint holes in the belly of the tiger. But it is hidden very well, blending with the stripes on the tiger's body, and covered with a layer of emerald, which perfectly wraps them.

"Smash it." Fu Yiting also saw the mystery, holding back his reluctance, and signaled him to do it.

Xiao Ge moved neatly, and buckled directly on the side stone wall, the emerald was broken, the two of them blew away the debris, and after a closer look, the three holes were almost the same as those under the golden Buddha seat!

"This?!" Fu Yiting almost lost his breath. The Golden Buddha he had searched for for months had the same model hanging on his body after a long time of fuss!

"Where did you get this pendant?" Xiao Ge asked.

"It's been in my bedroom since I was a child. I didn't realize it was special!" Fu Yiting slapped his head in regret. He seemed to understand that Fu Yao and Xiao Wenzhou each kept the secret of this treasure, and he already had it. Yinhu, Ruhai is going to leave the Golden Buddha to Xiao Ge.

That being the case, why did the personal guard Zhao Hu want the Golden Buddha instead of Yinhu?

A lot of questions came to mind again, but this was not the time to think about it. Fu Yiting sighed and searched in front of the stone gate with the light of the fire. Sure enough, he found a bump on the side of the jagged stone wall. Fu Yiting tried to insert Yinhu on it , only heard a "click", it fit perfectly!

Fu Yiting twisted it again, and a gap slowly appeared in the Shimen. The space inside was filled with faint blue light, which was very strange.

"Why does it feel like an ancient tomb?" Fu Yiting's voice trembled slightly. He was naughty when he was studying, and he often secretly read some ghost novels. Some of the descriptions were horrific and abnormal, which scared him to sleep at night, but the next day he seemed to be possessed again. Want to see, at this time some zombie-like phantoms appeared in his mind.

"Are you afraid?" Xiao Ge asked with a smile.

"No." Fu Yiting stepped forward and walked in first.

The structure of this space is indeed like an underground palace, but there is no coffin here, and they walked around for a long time before they found the entrance. There is a stone pier at the front of this stone palace, and a bright night pearl is placed on it, which is quiet. flickering halo.And there are hundreds of huge wooden boxes piled up on the open space in the center of the stone room. Fu Yiting walked over and opened it to see that the dense ones were all gold with lion totems printed on them!Further down, there are all dusty jewels, crystals, gems and jades of various colors, pearls, emeralds, agates, ivory...they are packed to the brim, and the quantity and quality are extremely astonishing.

Fu Yiting resisted the urge to grab a handful and put them in his arms, and turned to look at Xiao Ge.

Xiao Ge was squatting on the ground, lowering his head to take off the clothes of the skeletons. This place is full of human skeletons just like the outside, but their dead postures are more ferocious. The skulls each open their mouths. It seems that they died very painfully. Different from Central Plains, Xiao Ge observed the skeleton of the deceased, and said firmly, "It was my father who killed him."

"How can you tell?" Fu Yiting asked.

"Look." Xiao Ge pointed to the third rib on the left chest of the deceased, which had tiny scratches on it, "The blade is inserted into the left side of the heart, and drawn horizontally to the right side, this is his habit .”

"Are there even rules for killing?" Fu Yiting laughed dumbly. The members of the Fu family have always been casual and rarely restrained themselves. He didn't expect that when someone killed someone, he would try to start from one position, "Since your father has been here, most likely my father Also there."

They walked forward again and found a sheepskin map dropped on the ground, Xiao Ge picked it up and saw some unfamiliar symbols, but judging from the shape of the map, it was the territory of Great Xia.

"It's Yu Zhiguo!" Fu Yiting suddenly understood, "In the 42nd year of Chengtong, they invaded Daxia together with the Huijuan, and after being repelled, they began to make friends with Daxia, sending envoys and caravans in every year...Xi Pingyuan From [-] onwards, wars were launched again, and after the defeat, they withdrew collectively to the northwest, and were swallowed up by Huijuan and Persia, so far, there is no news from the Central Plains.”

"Yu Zhi...that phoenix-headed harp is their remaining treasure." Xiao Ge asked, "How are you so familiar with it?"

"I have checked the files of most prefectures in Longxi." Fu Yiting pointed to the map and said, "Look at the color blocks in different places, don't they mean to divide and eat Daxia?"

"Exactly, and this is their base." Xiao Ge looked at the large number of treasures with a complicated expression, "Why didn't this matter be reported to the imperial court?"

Fu Yiting didn't speak. In fact, the two of them guessed a possibility in their hearts, that is, Fu Yao and Xiao Wenzhou had the heart of rebellion and wanted to take these treasures as their own.

"Let's go." Xiao Ge passed through those treasure chests, and continued to search for the next stone palace.

The corridor is so long that there is almost no end in sight.In such a dark and closed environment, it is difficult to have a concept of time, and they don't know how long it has passed, they just feel hungrier and weaker.

"I knew I wouldn't fight with you, it's too exhausting." Xiao Ge was so tired that his eyes stared at him.So he sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.

"If you don't fight, how can you bump into here by mistake?" Fu Yiting also lay down beside him, "It's okay if you're hungry, there are so many dead bones, roasted and smashed, maybe there is bone marrow oil in them to eat."

"Are you going to disgust me to death?" Xiao Ge felt nauseous for a while, and scolded him for a few words, and then his breathing gradually became even. Fu Yiting wanted to pester him to talk again, but he couldn't get over the drowsiness, so he fell into a deep sleep.

They didn't know what time it was when they woke up, and continued to search for the next stone hall.

The second and third huge stone halls also have night pearls for lighting. These two places are full of densely packed weapons. Judging from the number, you can tell that Yu Zhi is definitely preparing these equipment for launching a war. The messy ground There were still many skeletons, Fu Yiting observed the traces on their sides, and said firmly, "It was my father who silenced them."

Xiao Ge also squatted down, stroked the scratches on the ground, "Is it whip marks?"

"Yes." Fu Yiting nodded, "It seems that the two of them did come in together."

"There is one thing I don't know." Xiao Ge sighed, "Since I have selfish intentions, I took the test first but never mentioned this past incident to me...why is that?"

"Maybe I wanted to say it, but I went so suddenly, there was no chance." Fu Yiting shook his head and said, "I also want to know, why didn't he mention it because he played the Jade Yinhu to me?"

"You were too young at that time, how can you say that?" Xiao Ge replied.

"There is some truth to it." Thinking of his father's behavior, Fu Yiting suddenly became a little irritable, and he continued to move forward with a torch, "Is there no exit here?"

He leaned on the wall to search around, Xiao Ge stood aside but found something unusual, the whole wall seemed to be transparent, he could feel the faint wind blowing from outside the door, but the direction of the flames was reversed , It seemed to be attracted by something, rushing towards the door, and it was getting more and more intense.

At this time, Fu Yiting had already walked to the front and found the location of the organ. "Huai Jie, the exit is here."

"Wait, you come back." Xiao Ge asked him to retreat to the back, pointing at the abnormal flame and said, "Look, there seems to be a secret door here! Could there be some flammable things in this room?"

Fu Yiting stretched out his hand to push, as if he could pull it open at once. There was no mechanism or door lock. They paused for a moment, and Fu Yiting also felt his face being illuminated by the increasingly fierce heat wave. He held Xiao Ge in his arms, "If there is anything unusual when the door opens later, hold me tight!"

"...Okay." Xiao Ge was close to him, and could feel a violently beating heart in his chest.

The moment the Shimen opened, the human bone torch in Fu Yiting's hand was like a fireball splashed with diesel oil, no, it was a fireball!Uncontrollably burning, Fu Yiting quickly threw the human bones into the weapon stone hall behind him, igniting a flame. The stone door closed.

In an instant, there was only the sound of sparks colliding in the stone room behind him, and then there was a loud "bang", and a huge explosion occurred in the weapon stone room!

The entire stone palace seemed to be shaken, sand and soil mixed with rocks, and poured down from the top like running water, Xiao Ge could no longer hear any sound, he could only feel the people on his body hugging him tightly, he turned over He came over and stretched out his hand to firmly protect Fu Yiting's head. As soon as he put it on, a hard rock rolled down and hit him hard on his arm... After a while, the surrounding finally returned to tranquility, only the stone room next door was left. There is a subtle "rustling" sound.

Fu Yiting just felt the impact from the back of his head, and at this moment he hurriedly took off Xiao Ge's white and slender hands and saw that they were already dripping with blood, his heart seemed to have been stabbed out, he was anxious and angry, and opened his mouth to call Xiao Ge a fool .

"What are you talking about, I can't hear." Xiao Ge murmured, he was more worried about his ears than the pain in his hands, wouldn't he just become deaf? !

"Can't you hear it?" Fu Yiting called into his ear.

Xiao Ge looked at him blankly shaking his head, so Fu Yiting had no choice but to take off the dirty fur, tore off the strips of cloth from his middle coat, and bandaged the wound on the back of his hand for him. After both hands were bandaged, Xiao Ge felt the sound Faintly began to drill into his ears.

"I can hear it." Xiao Ge said softly.

"You're a fucking fool." Fu Yiting scolded, "I think it's better for you to be deaf, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I don't know how to hide when I encounter quicksand, are you stupid or am I?" Xiao Ge let him hold hands, pulled himself to stand up, and asked jokingly.

"Too lazy to break up with you." Fu Yiting's face burned for no reason, he quickly shifted his gaze, looked around, and couldn't help being shocked, "What is this?"

This stone chamber is larger than the sum of the previous two, so it is illuminated by many luminous pearls. In the middle is a deep earthen pool, which is filled with a dark green liquid, exuding a slightly sour and strange smell. There were no remains on the ground and it was very clean.

Xiao Ge squatted down, pulled out an iron hook with his injured hand and threw it in, there was a "rustling" sound, and the steel turned into foam in an instant.

Fu Yiting picked up a night pearl and threw it in, and it was swallowed almost instantly.

"Is it green vitriol?" Fu Yiting frowned, "The smell is not as strong as green vitriol, but the acidity is hundreds of times stronger than green vitriol!"

Xiao Ge pondered for a moment before saying, "No wonder the stone chambers are illuminated with luminous pearls. It turns out that this thing cannot see open flames. The fire that evaporated from the pool just now can produce such a big explosion... let alone be ignited directly!"

"This thing is used on the battlefield, I'm afraid...it turns out that this is the real 'treasure'." Fu Yiting suddenly realized, "This is also the reason why my parents have been silent about it!"

"It's really the water of death." Xiao Ge's back felt cold. This water can be stored in the pit stone, which means that it will not blend with the earth and rocks, and the rest of the things may not escape the fate of being dissolved by it. Open fire, I am afraid that a huge disaster will erupt!

"This thing must never be known!" Xiao Ge turned to Fu Yiting and said, "Qishao, you must not tell this matter!"

"That's natural." Fu Yiting replied.

Xiao Ge was about to speak again, but saw the dark green liquid faintly oozing from the stone gate on his side leading to the stone palace that exploded just now!

Fu Yiting also saw the slowly flowing green liquid, "After the explosion, will the water become more and more dense?"

"I'm afraid it is! Qishao, we have to find the exit quickly!" Xiao Ge walked to the other side of the deep pool and fumbled.

"So, the jewelry and gold bars in the first room will not be spared!" Fu Yiting secretly sighed, it's a pity, he should have brought some with him if he knew it earlier!Hundreds of millions of treasures are dissolved in the underground dark palace, what a waste of money!

"You still want to get rich?" Xiao Ge laughed and scolded anxiously, "Find the exit quickly, or we will end up here!"

After receiving the letter from Lin Yizhi, Li Mi galloped westward, met Tangcheng on the way, briefly explained some matters, and hurried to Dunhuang. He changed four horses along the way, and finally arrived at the fastest speed. Near Moyang Buddhist Temple, it was already late at night.

Due to the collapse of the sand dunes and the strong wind in winter, the position of the quicksand has changed. The Qin army dug the sand in a mess, but there was still no sign of the two of them.

Li Mi inquired about the situation at that time, and watched the wind direction all night, and roughly deduced the path of the quicksand and the place where the two disappeared.

"Start digging from here!" Li Mi was also afraid in his heart, the positions he had calculated were actually the same, and now he was afraid of digging up two corpses.

"General Li. We dug here yesterday." Lin Yizhi said.

"Keep digging." Li Mi shook his head, "You guys haven't dug deep enough yet."

Lin Yizhi waved his hand in agreement, "Keep digging!"

"If there is a sand hole, call me over." Li Mi turned his head to inspect other places.

After a while, Lin Yizhi called out, "Old Bai! Come here!"

Bai Song'an's eyes were bloodshot, and he ran over and said, "What's wrong?"

"Is this something from your master?" Lin Yizhi picked up a snuff bottle.

Bai Song'an looked at the blue dragon and lotus pattern on it, and said in surprise, "It looks familiar, probably it is!"

Lin Yizhi cheered up and shouted, "This is the place! Keep digging!"

When the soldiers dug down again, they felt that the yellow sand began to collapse and leak, "Commander Lin, there are sand holes here!"

"General Li!" Lin Yizhi shouted.

"Don't go in yet, wait for my news." Li Mi ran over vigorously, squatted down to take a look, and drilled into it without thinking. This is a vertically sunken sand hole, very deep. When he was falling, he heard There was a dull roar in the distance.

Li Mi discerned the direction of the roaring sound, and then fell on a pile of bones.This is exactly the place where Fu Yiting and Xiao Ge woke up after being buried in the sand. Li Mi stroked the surrounding area. There was no body except for the bones, only a very hard stone wall. He walked inward, walked down the stone steps in the dark, and came to In front of the stone gate, he couldn't push it open no matter what.He groped around on the ground again, but his hand was cut by a pile of emerald shards.

Li Mi thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the entrance, and when he reached the pile of bones, he heard Lin Yizhi's shout from above, "General Li! Do you need brothers to go down?"

"The lord is not here!" Li Mi shouted, "Put the rope! Pull me up!"

"Alushan Mountain is in the northwest?" Li Mi went up to take a look at the map first, and then asked, "Did you hear the sound just now?"

"No." All the soldiers shook their heads.

"Fortunately, I was underground at the time, so I heard it." Li Mi said, "The sound like an earthquake came from around Alusan Mountain. I think they have already arrived there. Follow me quickly!"

Lin Yizhi heard that there was a sound, and he had a glimmer of hope, so he said to Zheng Qian, "Old Zheng, let me go and have a look."

Zheng Qian didn't know where he went. His face was covered with sweat, and he said out of breath, "Go, I'm still here."

The author says:

Lao Fu and Lao Xiao also took great pains for the stability of the frontier. As for why Ru Hai wanted to leave the golden Buddha to Xiao Xiao, but the Yinhu with the same function was carried by Xiao Fu since he was a child, and he made it concealed, so no one knew about it. , I think everyone can guess it, but I can't hide the word love.
