As soon as he came back from the barracks, Li Xiuning was summoned by Li Shimin, and then followed Li Shimin into an underground cave. Seeing Li Shimin's hurried expression, Li Xiuning wondered if something had happened to the relic, so she subconsciously accelerated her pace. The pace, to keep up with the front of Li Shimin.

The entrance of the cave was a bit narrow and dim. Li Xiuning could only vaguely distinguish the road in front of him with the torch held by Li Shimin. The two continued to walk forward. Li Xiuning found that the cave seemed to be getting wider and wider, and the There is a faint light coming from the front.

After walking a few steps forward, Li Shimin stopped and extinguished the torch in his hand. Li Xiuning also stopped quickly. Without the light of the flame, the surroundings of the cave were still very bright. Above the cave was a square Open your mouth, it is still daytime outside, so the daytime light reflects the inside of the cave, and everything is as clear as outside the cave.

Li Xiuning glanced around, and the large object in the middle of the cave immediately attracted Li Xiuning's attention. There are birds and beasts engraved on the copper body, and there is a large copper pillar in the middle, surrounded by eight positions. There is a dragon head on each position. The mouth of the dragon head contains a bead, and the bottom of the dragon head corresponds to a toad.

After carefully examining the objects in front of him, Li Xiuning immediately came to a conclusion.

"This is, the seismograph?" There was a hint of affirmation in his tone.

"En." Li Shimin nodded, affirming Li Xiuning's words, and then continued: "If it's not what I expected, it should be imitated by people who are proficient in astronomy and calendar, the Houfeng Seismograph made by Zhang Heng in the previous dynasty."

"Houfeng Seismograph?" Li Xiuning's tone was slightly surprised. It was recorded in the book of Houfeng Seismograph, but the method of making Houfeng Seismograph has long been lost in the records, so how could it appear here now.

Li Xiuning's performance was completely within Li Shimin's expectations, so Li Shimin explained it unhurriedly.

"Well, I was also a little surprised at first. When Hongfu found it, it recorded its usage method in detail next to it. I compared it. There are eight dragon heads, eight directions, and each dragon has a dragon's mouth. Dragon Ball, when the ground is shaken, the Dragon Ball will be sensed and spit out from its mouth. Everything is the same as the Houfeng Seismograph in the records, so I am sure that it is indeed the Houfeng Seismograph"

The seismograph, the vibration, the evil emperor relic, Li Xiuning listened to Li Shimin's words, his brain began to work rapidly, and everything was connected in an instant.

"Second brother, don't you want to use it to find the evil emperor's relic?" Li Xiuning only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the answer came out of his mouth.

"Well, Xiuning, you are right. Since I received the news of Ssangyong's entry into the city, I have sent more people to search the entire city of Chang'an, hoping to find the Evil Emperor's relic before they did, but in the end nothing was found. Evil Emperor The exact location of the relic is still unknown.”

"Second brother, I think the tomb of the evil king is hidden so well, it is very likely that it is hidden underground, so it is not easy to be discovered." Li Xiuning expressed her thoughts.

"That's right, the second brother also has the same idea," Li Shimin echoed.

"Then the Houfeng seismograph, the second brother wants to use its perception of the ground. When Ssangyong finds and activates the tomb of the evil king, he can use the seismograph to get ahead of Yuwen and get the exact location of the tomb of the evil king."

"Sure enough, the one who knows me is none other than Xiuning." Li Shimin listened to Li Xiuning's judgment and greatly appreciated it.

"With the exact location of the tomb of the evil king, we can send more people to seize the opportunity. Chang'an is the territory of my Li family. With our current manpower and material resources, it is not a problem to occupy the tomb of the evil king before them." Li Shimin He continued to express his thoughts to Li Xiuning.

"Second brother, in just a few days, you can think of such a method, and you have successfully found the Houfeng seismograph. Xiuning really admires the intelligence of the second brother." Listening to Li Xiuning's tone, she knew I agree with Li Shimin's idea very much.

"Xiu Ning, in fact, this is not what the second brother thought. Someone came to visit the Li family yesterday, and this seismograph was that person's meeting gift. The second brother saw this seismograph and was inspired, so he came up with this idea." The idea of ​​exploring the tomb of the evil king." Li Shimin recalled what happened yesterday, and felt that God was helping the Li family, and the Li family was destined to rule the world.

"If that's the case, then who gave the gift?" Li Xiuning thought that to be able to give such a big gift, the person must be extraordinary. Out of the habit of seeking talents, Li Xiuning subconsciously asked Li Shimin.

"Let's go," Li Shimin said lightly.

"Leaving?" Li Xiuning's tone was filled with disbelief.

"The guard at the gate came to report. He entered the mansion yesterday and handed the gift to the steward. When the steward went to report to me, he took the opportunity to leave."

Li Shimin explained that he was also very puzzled about what happened yesterday. Since he intends to help the Li family, but is unwilling to show up to meet him, this kind of behavior is really unreasonable.

"Probably he is an expert who hides from the world, so he doesn't want to meet in person." Li Xiuning immediately came up with a reasonable idea, but she never thought about it, since she is an expert who lives in seclusion, how can she be self-confident in the world?

"Maybe it's as Xiuning said." Li Shimin affirmed Li Xiuning's thoughts.

After sorting out all the clues, Li Shimin's mind instantly cleared up a lot: "By the way, Xiuning, apart from this matter, Second Brother has something else to discuss with you."

"Second brother, but it's okay." Li Shimin's mood was a little strange, it could be said that it was a little heavy, which made Li Xiuning feel a little uneasy.

"Actually, it's about you, Xiuning..."

Walking out of the cave, Li Xiuning looked a little dazed and absent-minded, walking and walking, stepping on the empty rhythm is the rhythm of falling.

Fortunately, there was someone guarding the door, waiting for Li Xiuning to come out, Hong Fu's sharp eyes saw Li Xiuning's strangeness at a glance, so he kept his gaze fixed on Li Xiuning, and the moment Li Xiuning stepped on the air, he walked to Li Xiuning's side in time, helped her Lived in Li Xiuning.

"Miss, are you alright?" Hong Fu supported Li Xiuning, and asked, the worry in her tone was evident.

Li Xiuning's mind went blank for a moment just because of the empty step, and her mood was a little confused at the moment, so Li Xiuning didn't respond to Hong Fu's concern in time.

"Miss?" Hong Fu called out again without getting a response.

Hongfu's voice made Li Xiuning realize the reality from her own thoughts. Turning her head to look at Hongfu's worried eyes, Li Xiuning smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Laughing is uglier than crying, in Hong Fu's eyes, Li Xiuning is the best portrayal of this sentence, but in Hong Fu's heart, no matter what Li Xiuning does, she will not ask, unless Li Xiuning wants to say it, now Li Xiuning doesn't want to Said, so she will not ask any questions.

"Then Hong Fu will help Miss go back to her room to rest first?" Hong Fu suggested.

Li Xiuning knew that it was time for her to go back to her room and "rest" for a while, so she nodded, said "um", and followed Hong Fu's suggestion.

After getting an affirmative answer, Hong Fu helped Li Xiuning to leave the entrance of the cave. Behind the two of them, Li Shimin walked out of the entrance of the cave. Looking at the back of Li Xiuning leaving, Li Shimin sighed helplessly, and then he also left the entrance of the cave, looking for Li Yuan returned to his life.

There was a tree on the bank of Qujiang, and Wanwan was sitting on the tree alone at the moment. At the same time, she couldn't stop looking around Qujiang, hoping to find some clues about the evil emperor's relic. She has been sitting there all morning, and still has nothing.

Behind him, familiar footsteps sounded, and without turning her head, Wanwan said, "I'm back."

Behind Wanwan, Song Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, and he replied "Yes", then walked quickly to the tree and sat down on the floor.

"Where's Feixuan?" Song Yuzhi asked, Wanwan was here alone, which made Song Yuzhi a little strange. Could it be that the two of them didn't reconcile yesterday?

"I just left, I'm going back to the inn first." Wanwan explained, according to Wanwan's behavior style, she never deliberately explained anything, presumably only Zhu Yuyan, Shi Feixuan and Song Yuzhi could make her explain. up.

"Oh." Song Yuzhi nodded slightly, and looked at the Qujiang in front of him dully. Occasionally, there were one or two wooden boats slowly passing by on the river.

"The tomb of the evil king, did Wanwan find anything?" Song Yuzhi asked again.

"Nothing." Wanwan shook her head and replied, with a touch of disappointment mixed in her tone.

"Wanwan's conjecture is not accidental. I believe that the evil emperor relic must be here. We must have missed something?" Song Yuzhi felt that Wanwan was a little downcast, so she encouraged her, she trusted Wanwan, after all, Wanwan Wanwan had never let her down before, so she was very afraid that Wanwan would disappoint herself.

As soon as Song Yuzhi came back, Wan Wan felt that Song Yuzhi's mood was unusual. In the past, Song Yuzhi would not be so silent, nor would he deliberately encourage himself, which obviously did not match Song Yuzhi's temperament.

Wanwan learned of Song Yuzhi's every move from the people sent by Shen Luoyan, so she also knew that Song Yuzhi's complex emotions came from guilt, so she opened her mouth and said.

"Yuzhi, it's just a seismograph. It's nothing if you want to help the Li family. Except for the relics in the tomb of the evil king, everything else is not important to me, so whoever you want to give or tell is up to you." Yes, not to mention, where the tomb of the evil king is, is still unknown."

"Wanwan, you?" Song Yuzhi looked at the person in the tree, his face was full of shock and doubts about how you knew, what Wanwan said obviously exceeded Song Yuzhi's expectations.

"I'm a demon girl from the Demon Sect." Wanwan chuckled lightly, as if nothing escaped my eyes, then turned her head and looked at Qujiang again. There was a new wooden boat on Qujiang. Depart from the shore.

"Thank you" Song Yuzhi murmured. After getting along for a long time, Song Yuzhi naturally knew what Wanwan meant, so he didn't get entangled again, and then said: "We have searched for the most likely place in Qujiang. What went wrong? ?”

Listening to Song Yuzhi's words, Wanwan saw that the people on the wooden boat had already jumped into the water and started playing in the water. The water in front of her began to rippling, and the shadow of the boat in the water was faintly visible.

Wanwan looked at the person in front of her, and blurted out the word "water?"

Thoughts began to go back, bridges, Qujiang, constellations, everything began to connect in series.

"Water, so it's water!" Wanwan jumped down from the tree with a very excited tone.

Song Yuzhi got up quickly, saw Wanwan muttering "water" incessantly, and subconsciously said, "Are you...thirsty?"

"No, I once used Ssangyong to activate the longevity formula, hoping to absorb the inner power of the longevity formula to improve my celestial magic strategy. During this process, I vaguely saw the tomb of the evil king, and the top of the tomb of the evil king seemed to exist. Water shadows," Wanwan explained.

"Water shadow?" Listening to Wanwan's words, Song Yuzhi also seemed to think of something, "I remember seeing it in the old man's water, the mystery of the mechanism technique, the last sentence seems to be"

"It's at the bottom of the water!"

The two said in unison, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
