The Palace Master had an unpleasant expression on his face: "The most important thing right now is not the treasure. It will take at least several years to dig out that treasure."
"Send people to Moyang Town to rebuild my forces."
Over the years, more than ten thousand people died, but they still failed to get the treasure.
He didn't believe that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were really that powerful.
At this time, the suspected Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already arrived in front of the tunnel: "I plan to go to the tunnel ahead to take a look."
Let's check first to see if there's anything wrong with the tunnel, mainly to see what that guy did last time.
Being able to hypnotize someone so quickly must have been aided by the use of drugs.
Qian Jiujiu was interested in this medicine, so she planned to go and take a look, and Mu Yexiao would naturally go with her.
After instructing people to set up camp outside, he and Qian Jiujiu walked into the tunnel that they had dug last time.
"Did you find anything?"
Mu Yexiao checked the tunnel himself, but there was nothing but mud and there seemed to be no clues.
Qian Jiujiu frowned and said, "Maybe it's because so much time has passed that the medicine has already dissipated."
She remembered that some medicines had properties that evaporated very quickly.
It seems that there is no clue to be found, that is, I don't know if Jiang Zhi still has drugs. What did Bai Lie bring in this time
They learned from the guards where Bai Lie took something, but they did not find out what he took specifically.
After all, we can't alert the enemy!
The two of them walked around the tunnel again and found nothing, but they did see the marks left by Gu Yong.
Next, we started digging in the direction of the mark.
Qian Jiujiu brought Mu Yexiao out of the tunnel and waved to Bai Lie, "Bai Lie, take the others in later."
"Just have people dig according to the marks on the tunnel wall. Do you understand?"
Bai Lie nodded immediately: "Yes, then Princess, I will bring people in right away."
Qian Jiujiu nodded and watched Bai Lie arranging the soldiers to go into the tunnel. Some people were digging, while some were moving the soil out. They were very busy and happy.
The first day passed peacefully. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were sitting in the tent. It seemed that no one caused trouble on the first day.
Yes, I’m afraid that the people in Tianzhu Palace are also thinking about it. I hope they can find this treasure as soon as possible.
The next morning, someone came to inform Qian Jiujiu: "Prince, Princess, we have dug up a tomb, but now we don't know which direction to dig in?"
"Please ask your Majesty and Princess to go over and take a look."
Digging into a stone chamber? How could you not know the direction
Qian Jiujiu led Mu Yexiao towards the direction of the stone chamber. After going down, he was stunned again. The style of this stone chamber looked a little familiar.
It seems like I have seen many drawings before, and all of them show stone chambers like this. Could it be that they also come from the same place
It seems that the stone chamber buildings discovered before are very likely to be branch halls of the Tianzhu Palace. How interesting.
So has it been found? Unfortunately, the so-called treasure map only shows the place up to here, but not the details inside.
"Keep digging. Isn't there a mark here?"
In another direction, we found the marks left by Gu Yong and others, proving that there was nothing here except the stone chamber.
After sending Bai Lie and others away, Qian Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
"Mu Yexiao, what do you think they built so many stone chambers for?"
Mu Yexiao squatted on the ground, observed carefully for a while, and finally shook his head: "I really don't know about this."
He wasn't the one who built it, and there wasn't a single trace of anything on it, so it looked like it had been vacant for a long time.
Qian Jiujiu sighed: "I wonder where Master Gu and the others are now?"
"Do you think there is still a formation in here? If so, what kind of formation is it?"
No one could explain this clearly. The two walked around in the stone chamber for a while and then walked out.
As soon as they went out, they smelled blood and looked at each other: something happened.
He rushed towards the place where the smell of blood came from. As soon as he got there, he saw several soldiers lying on the ground with arrows piercing their hearts.
The arrows that killed them were still shining, looking as if they had just been made.
The problem is that this technology doesn't look like the bows and arrows used in the Zhou Dynasty.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the only people who could make bows and arrows were the royal military camps, which made unique bows and arrows.
The appearance of other bows and arrows is illegal, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has particularly strict control over this.
Qian Jiujiu pulled out an arrow. The moment it was pulled out, the arrow softened at a speed visible to the naked eye and then turned into powder.
Mu Yexiao pulled out another one with some surprise, and the situation was exactly the same. It was really interesting.
"The Great Zhou does not have the ability to forge this bow and arrow, so it is not an arrow forged by the Great Zhou."
Looking at the powder on the ground, Qian Jiujiu could still vaguely recognize what kind of wooden bow and arrow it was, and sighed.
"Interesting, how come these soldiers are here?"
There are many stone chambers and many forks in the road. Because Gu Yong and his team had explored the way ahead, they dared to ask people to dig.
But they were clearly digging in another direction, so why were they here and triggered the mechanism
"Donglin, go call Bai Lie over and take the bodies of these soldiers out and bury them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dong Lin immediately turned around and went downstairs.
Soon Bai Lie came over with some soldiers. Qian Jiujiu looked at Bai Lie and said, "Pass it on. Don't barge into these places."
Bai Lie now understood that if he wandered around in these places, he might die without knowing how.
After taking the bodies away, Bai Lie ordered people to bury these people nearby.
By night, everyone was sleeping in the tents, with only a few people on duty.
It was late at night, and we were on the mountain, with gusts of cold wind.
A soldier was shivering in the wind: "This night duty is really not a job for humans."
"We have bright lights here, who would come back to cause trouble? Why do we need people to stand guard at night?"
"Is there any other animal that dares to come over?"
As we all know, animals don’t dare to come to crowded places due to their habits.
The soldier beside him heard the man's mumbling and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You guy, it's not like you didn't sleep during the day."
"What do you want to do when I ask you to stand guard? Let me ask you, rather than stand guard, do you want to dig tunnels underground during the day?"
"If you want, I can talk to my superiors and have you replaced. You don't know, but more than ten soldiers died during the day!"
"They carried him out of the tunnel. I heard from people that his body was intact. You couldn't see any injuries. He must be dead."
"Don't you think it's weird?"
Another soldier's eyes widened: "Tell me, you, why are you telling me this in the middle of the night?"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and talk about something else."
As he was talking, he heard footsteps coming. He turned around and saw that it was a soldier.
The soldier was still covered in dust and looked extremely pitiful.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You've made yourself so miserable. Why are you wandering around here and there so late at night?"
The other soldier, when he saw him, was so frightened that he was shaking all over.
When the embarrassed soldier saw the two people, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his dull eyes.
The next moment he pounced on the two soldiers. Fortunately, another trembling soldier was quick-witted and kicked him.
Then he quickly pulled the soldier who was still confused and said, "Run, I tell you, this guy is one of the people who died during the day."
"I buried it myself. I remember it very clearly."
As he said this, the soldier was still shaking all over, and he saw the buried soldier stand up again and follow him.
When the soldier heard that there was a dead man chasing them, he was so scared that his whole body was shaking, and he kept shouting while running: "Help, help, there is a ghost."
Qian Jiujiu was suddenly awakened by the sound. Looking at Mu Yexiao, the two of them quickly walked out of the tent.
As soon as I came out, I saw that almost everyone was woken up. There were more than a dozen figures walking around there unsteadily, and they would pounce on anyone they saw.
It would pounce on the person and bite him/her immediately. After biting him/her, it would start looking for the next one. The person who was bitten would fall to the ground and scream.
It looks very uncomfortable. Qian Jiujiu has never seen such a situation before. It's quite interesting.
The two men flew forward, picked up a dozen figures who were biting the soldiers, and threw them together in a pile. Dong Lin and others also quickly came over to help.
More than a dozen soldiers were tied together. They were still biting and attacking, but unfortunately they couldn't open the ropes.
Bai Lie was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had never seen such a situation before: "My Lord, Princess, what's going on?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "We were also woken up, how do we know what happened?"
Mu Yexiao also asked, "Aren't these the people who were killed by arrows during the day? Didn't I ask you to deal with them? Why are they here?"
Bai Lie now also saw the appearance of these people clearly. They were the ones who were buried during the day.
He was stunned for a moment: "These are all dead people, and I had them buried. They dug deeper on purpose, and I buried them under the soil that was poured out today."
The dirt that had been dug out from the mountain had piled up very high today. Could these people still get up from it
Qian Jiujiu and his group came to the pile of dirt and took a look. As expected, there were several holes where people had crawled out.
No wonder he looked so disheveled and covered in dust, he really had just crawled out of a pile of mud.
