Fortunately, although Ye Xingguan was cautious, when Chuchu re-entered the underground palace, there was no surprise attack in the darkness.

After everyone got used to the darkness and Ye Wuge took the torch and lit it to illuminate the way forward, Ye Xingguan put away his sword.

You Jianqing had been walking by his side before, and when he found that he had relaxed, she stretched out her hand to hold his fingertips.

Ye Xingguan turned his head to stare at him, but he didn't move his hand away.

There was no specific emotional change on the face flushed by the light of the torch, but You Jianqing felt that the tips of the other party's ears must be red.

It took them a little time to go through the remaining traps and passages, which was also increased because Bai Shuwen was completely incapable of martial arts.But no matter what, they finally arrived at the place of those Jurchens smoothly.

The place where they met for the last time was a huge stone chamber.There are not many other things in the stone chamber, the most conspicuous ones are the two sarcophagi placed in the center.

But Ye Xingguan didn't care about these two sarcophagi.

In contrast, what attracted his attention more than the sarcophagus was the huge stone slab behind the sarcophagus, and the Jurchen who was standing in front of the sarcophagus, trying to rub the contents above.

Almost when he roughly distinguished the content on the stone slab, Ye Xingguan's tone became cold, and he shouted: "...Kill them!"

In fact, when he yelled this sentence, Murong Gu had already charged up, but it was You Jianqing's sword wind that came first.

It's just that when Ye Xingguan thought that the other party must have nowhere to escape, those men who were Jurchens erupted with unexpectedly powerful strength.

This is no ordinary Jurchen... at least not the generals and soldiers that Murong Gu faced.

They are all martial arts practitioners.

Murong Gu confronted a man, but they were only evenly matched.You Jianqing used one against three, although he was quite comfortable, but he couldn't easily deal with the opponent for a while.

The Jurchen didn't expect such two troublesome people to come suddenly, but they were on guard against Ye Xingguan who rushed up later, but they didn't expect that Ye Xingguan didn't help Murong Gu or You Jianqing immediately, but rushed directly to that area stone wall.

His long sword was as fast as lightning, and there was a distinct humming sound when it was stabbed, but it went straight to the stone wall.The long sword was extremely sharp, worthy of being a famous sword of hundreds of refinements, and it instantly stabbed the stone powder that was cut off from the stone wall with frequent trembling.

The Jurchen big man was shocked immediately, he didn't care about fighting with You Jianqing and Murong Gu, they all turned around and rushed towards Ye Xingguan one after another.

Naturally, You Jianqing would not let them escape from his hands so easily. With a swipe of his sword, he directly attacked one of them down the road, but directly made the other party rush forward a few steps before falling to the ground.However, You Jianqing didn't pursue at all, and kicked the second person's vest, kicking the big and strong man directly into the third person.

On the other side, Murong Gu directly attacked the enemy's back of the head with a dagger.

She is the kung fu practiced in actual combat on the battlefield, and she has a lot of ways to open and close.Short soldiers such as daggers are actually not what she is good at. What she is really good at is long spears. However, since returning to Beijing with her father, she has almost never had the opportunity to fight with people with long spears. After all, it is not a battlefield. There are not many occasions where there are many enemies.

However, if it's just for one person, the short dagger is actually enough.Murong Gu used the short dagger as fiercely as the long spear.She is used to fighting with the purpose of killing people, and compared to the tricks of small fights, the tricks that directly hit the vitals are undoubtedly more suitable for her.

The dagger directly pierced the opponent's head.Murong Gu didn't retain his strength at all, so the blade of the short dagger completely pierced into the opponent's skull, blood spurted out immediately.

The other party uttered a mournful cry, the mournful cry was short and hasty, even before it could be finished completely, its owner had already crashed to the ground, and Murong Gu didn't even have the intention of pausing, and rushed directly to the second person.

With the death of their companion, the remaining three people finally felt the crisis and fear, but at the same time, Ye Xingguan did not stop destroying the murals for a moment.The leader of the Jurchens finally realized that it was time for them to make a choice. He rushed over and picked up the atlas that had fallen on the ground and had not yet been rubbed. Then, regardless of the safety of his companions, he fled towards the outside of the passage. .

Ye Xingguan yelled, "Stop him!"

The disciple who was at the entrance drew his sword to block it, but unfortunately, his skills were too different after all, and he was knocked away by the opponent after just a face-to-face encounter.Fortunately, at this moment, the other party had no intention of fighting with them at all, so they didn't suffer any further harm.

Seeing this scene, Murong Gu threw his opponent to You Jianqing, then turned around and chased him out of the tomb.

Seeing this situation, Ye Xingguan suddenly turned his head, and his long sword also turned abruptly, and together with You Jianqing, he seriously injured the remaining two people.Then You Jianqing ran to several disciples, knowing that they were fine, let them heal their injuries, and then chased Murong Gu and the Jurchen himself.

And then Ye Xingguan didn't even have the heart to question the Jurchen who was lying at his feet crying in pain, so he picked up his sword and began to cut the patterns on the stone wall.

After a stick of incense, You Jianqing waited for Murong Gu who was injured.

"The other party was not left behind."

Ye Xingguan listened, paused for a moment, and said, "It seems that the rubbing has gone a third of the way...it's a trouble."

Looking at the stone wall, You Jianqing didn't understand what was engraved on it for a moment, and asked, "Is this the rare treasure that father said? Why didn't I understand it?"

Ye Xingguan looked solemn, and said without a smile: "...It is indeed a rare treasure. This is a topographic map of mountains and rivers in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is a detailed map."

After hearing this, You Jianqing and Murong Gu's expressions suddenly turned serious, and they looked at Ye Xingguan with some astonishment.

Murong Gu said: "What should I do!? No, I have to find a way to get the picture back—" She dragged her stabbed abdomen, but stood up straight, and wanted to forcefully exercise her skills to continue chasing That Jurchen.

Ye Xingguan said: "Go after it now, it may not be easy to catch up. Besides, you have been injured, so if you catch up at this time, you may be caught in a tiger's mouth. Don't worry, we will think about the map that has been rubbed away. Now Destroying the pictures on the stone wall is the most important thing—since the Jurchens know about this place, they can still enter here... This underground palace is probably not safe."

After hearing this, You Jianqing felt that the words were good, so she also came up to help and began to destroy the stone wall.Murong Gu and Bai Shuwen also wanted to help, but unfortunately the former was badly injured and the latter was powerless, but they were stopped by Ye Xingguan.

After destroying the stone wall, Ye Xingguan did not leave immediately, but went to the two coffins and examined them carefully.

You Jianqing asked, "What's the problem?"

Ye Xingguan said: "I just thought that many of the sacrificial objects and stone statues in front were either poisoned or poisoned, but these two coffins were placed here so defenselessly. Tell me, the difference between the two coffins Among them, even if it is not Su Yue Guoshi himself, he should be a very important person to him, right?"

You Jianqing asked: "So...?"

Ye Xingguan said: "I just don't believe that this sarcophagus and the side of this mountain and river map... will have no traps." He thought for a while, then pursed his lips, and said, "Let me think about it for a while... I know that there are no traps in the coffin." With his identity, he might be able to know the origin of this stone carving of mountains and rivers."

You Jianqing said: "Su Yue is the former national teacher, if he wants to collect and draw pictures of mountains and rivers, it is not surprising..."

But Ye Xingguan looked up at You Jianqing and asked, "Jianqing, as far as you know, what kind of person is Su Yue?"

You Jianqing was stunned for a moment.

What kind of person is Su Yue?

According to rumors, this Suyue Guoshi is a half-celestial, half-demon existence.According to folklore, he is extremely mysterious but cruel. It is said that he looks like a fairy, but acts like a demon.He confused the king and made the two previous monarchs obey his words, which led to the destruction of the country.

But in fact, You Jianqing and Ye Xingguan, who have seen some past events, know that this is of course not the truth.

The demise of the previous dynasty was originally caused by multiple factors, and it really had little to do with Su Yue.Even in the few years when the last emperor was in power, it was Su Yue's hard support in the court that enabled the dynasty to survive for more than [-] years.

But it is not wrong to say that Su Yue is cruel and immoral, and extortionate.

In the last few years of the dynasty, Su Yue was very violent and irritable, with vicious methods.At that time, many people in the imperial court were silently murdered. Although there is no real evidence to prove that he was responsible for the continuous death and sudden death, the master of the state used poisons and Gu worms, which is what later generations did. Commonly known facts.

And all the traps in this underground palace seem to be able to illustrate this point.

You Jianqing thought for a long time, and then said: "I don't know what kind of person Su Yue is, but I know that he is definitely different from the folk rumors... I have never seen rumors and rumors being reliable. "

Ye Xingguan nodded, and said, "I think so too." Then he paused, and said, "For example, I never thought that he would ask someone to draw a topographic map of mountains and rivers."

What kind of person would want to map mountains and rivers?

That must be someone with big plans.

Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus.

In the end, he only saw a satin purple official uniform inside - this is actually a tomb of clothes?

Not only Ye Xingguan was stunned, but even You Jianqing was stunned—a huge underground palace was built, and countless treasures of gold and jade were used for burial, and in the end, what lay in the coffin was only a piece of clothing?

Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, but saw You Jianqing suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed open another coffin lid.

They had guessed the identity of the bones under the coffin lid, but they never imagined that there was only one piece of clothing under the other coffin lid.

It's just that the origin of this dress is really unusual.

It was a dragon robe.
