The three stopped, turned off the lights and looked ahead with breathlessness. After a while, there was the sound of kicking and kicking in the darkness in front, and a flickering light slowly "walked" from a distance. "Come here.
When the sound of footsteps came more than ten meters in front of them, Lao Wang suddenly turned on his flashlight and shouted:
"Who!"
Lao Wang’s voice resounded like a crack in the crack, and the person who came from the dark was taken by surprise and exclaimed, "Ah Yo!" Potong fell to the ground, and the oil lamp he was holding also fell to the ground. Shattered.
The three of them turned on their flashlights, and a frightened face was illuminated by the lights.
"Village, village chief?" Zi Yang couldn't help but open his mouth wide after seeing the man's face.
Under the light, this thin, short, gray-haired old man was Qin Xianghe, the head of Qinhan Village.
Lao Wang also recognized him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Fuck! Father, why are you here?"
When Qin Xianghe saw Lao Wang approaching, he backed away in fright, his eyes were full of fear.
Lao Wang stood there in amazement, turned around and looked at Zi Yang and Su Rui and asked, "Master, what's wrong with this?"
Zi Yang suddenly thought that when they came to Qinhan Village last year, they were with Professor Zhang. Qin Xianghe must have mistakenly believed that he and Professor Zhang were in the same group.
Seeing Qin Xianghe retreating continuously, Zi Yang quickly stopped the old Wang who was about to catch up, and said softly: "The village chief, don't be afraid. We are different from the group. They are bad guys. We, we are here to help you. !"
These words had an effect. Qin Xianghe didn't step back any more, but still didn't speak, standing in the distance watching them suspiciously.
"Really! Do you remember Wang Juan? It was the one who talked with Qin Ruilin about friends..." Zi Yang stammered and explained to Qin Xianghe, fearing that he would accidentally scare him away.
"Along with Ruilin is another girl, who died on the mountain, died..."
Qin Xianghe finally spoke. When he mentioned the tragedy that happened last year, the dry old man's mouth slumped and his face was full of tears.
"Yes, yes, there are two other people: Chen Ruixi and Wang Juan, right? The girl named Wang Juan was later taken away by the bad guy named Zhang, and we just rescued her!" Old Wang shamelessly Jin Guoqiang took the credit for himself.
Qin Xianghe looked at him suspiciously: "Where is Ruixi? Is Ruixi still alive?"
Lao Wang hesitated and said: "We don't know this, we should still be alive, right? We only rescued the woman—you, you take us out. Let's ask Wang Juan together. Maybe she knows. Regarding Richie!"
Lao Wang also understood that Qin Xianghe, who appeared here "inexplicably", might have the secret of leaving the underground cavern. In order to escape this dangerous cave, Lao Wang began to rack his brains to win Qin Xianghe's trust.
Who would have thought it would be okay not to mention Chen Ruixi, Qin Xianghe's face was angry when he mentioned his name:
"This little boy B has caused such a big disaster and caused the big one to be like this, so let's die soon!"
Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other. It seemed that the old village chief had a deep resentment towards Chen Ruixi, but I think about it, if it weren’t for him to steal explosives to fry fish, Qin Ruilin and Jinxia are still alive, Qinhan Village is still a peaceful and prosperous age, and the villagers live and work in peace and contentment. , Which is like now being displaced and devastated.
"Old man, people in the village have already migrated, why are you the only one left here? How did you get here?" Su Rui asked softly.
Zi Yang also had the same question in his heart. The pool outside was seventy to eighty meters deep. Could this Qin Xianghe sneak in without diving equipment
Qin Xianghe rolled his eyelids to look at her, and said in a dull voice, "You want to go out? When the ancestors built this place, a secret road was left."
The three looked at each other with joy, and there really is a way!
This old man must have got into the secret passage and hid when Professor Zhang's people cleared the field, hiding in the dark underground to survive, no wonder no one has found him.
"I remember, when we were surrounded by gargoyles in the main hall, someone outside whistled them away. Is that person you too?" Old Wang said excitedly.
Qin Xianghe turned around and said, "If you want to go out, follow me!"
Although he didn't answer Lao Wang's question, it was tacitly agreed.
The three followed Qin Xianghe and walked forward between the narrow mountain walls. Zi Yang couldn't help but ask: "Master, are the people who live in Qinhan Village really the descendants of the Qin Army?"
Qin Xianghe said without looking back: "The villagers in Qinhan Village are all descendants of the Qin Army. In those days, His Majesty the First Emperor ordered the Jiuyuan Army to reject the Huns in the north, and even if the Great Qin is destroyed, there is no need for reinforcements. The Lingnan Army was ordered to march in Baiyue, the same!
After the death of Da Qin, hundreds of thousands of Lingnan Army soldiers became unowned and lone souls, and one of them was left here and built homes, which has been passed down to this day. "
This Qin Xianghe spoke old-fashioned and still called Qin Shihuang "Your Majesty" in his words.
After listening to Lao Wang, he kept stunned: "Damn, if hundreds of thousands of troops fight back, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu can't do you, right? You won't go back because of Qin Shihuang's words? Lord, don't joke with me!"
Qin Xianghe was silent.
Su Rui said: "At that time, the Chu-Han coalition forces did not meet the main force of the Qin army. The two main armies of the Southern and Northern Great Qin did not participate in the war. The Northern Army retreated to Guanzhong after Qin's death, but was taken by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu Destroyed. The Southern Army has never responded. For thousands of years, historians have been puzzled by this."
Qin Xianghe looked back at Su Rui and muttered: "You two little guys know a lot."
Everyone understood that one of the two little guys he was talking about was referring to Su Rui, and the other was definitely not referring to Lao Wang.
"When I was interpreting the murals, you were the one who made the sound behind you?" Zi Yang asked tentatively. It seems that Qin Xianghe had known that they had come in, and had been secretly monitoring them.
Qin Xianghe was noncommittal and continued to walk forward. He said as he walked: "At that time, thousands of cavalry soldiers came to Qinhan Village and clashed with the villagers. Although the descendants of the Qin army are numerous, they have used fishing and hunting for thousands of years. His fighting power was not as good as before. In addition, these Qi Xue Jun was originally Kublai’s elite, so the tribe was quickly defeated. However, at that time, there was a strange man in Qi Xue's army, named Tianji Daochang, who came forward to stop Qi Xue. The army’s offensive saved the lives of the tribe’s people."
Su Rui and Zi Yang glanced at each other, and it seemed that Zi Yang's guess was correct. The Taoist leader on the mural was a very important figure. Only now did they know that this person was called the Taoist leader Tianji.
Qin Xiang said with a whisper: "Later, the Tianji Daoist had a peace talk with the clansmen. He promised the patriarch that Qi Xue Jun would help us to subdue the monsters in the sinkhole. The clansmen didn’t believe him. But I don’t know what methods he used, he really got from the sky. A few flying dragons were caught in the pit and came back.
After seeing his methods, the tribesmen fell to the five bodies he admired. At this time, the Tianji Daoist said: He can help us seal the tiankeng forever and save the tribesmen from the suffering of living sacrifices-the condition is that the villagers help them build an underground Palace, used to suppress these underground demons. "
When Qin Xianghe said this, Lao Wang looked back at Zi Yang and blinked: "Lao Li has you, you guessed it!"
Zi Yang put his fingers on his lips, motioned him to shut up, and listened carefully to Qin Xianghe's words.
"After the Changsheng Palace was built, the Tianji Daoist filled up the tiankeng again. Daoist Tianji was really a god. It is said that he used the unique skills of Ziwei Doushu and Qimen Dunjia to build this underground palace, and Tianchi sealed the tiankeng. , And there is still living water flowing inside!
Tianji said that as long as this palace does not fall, the people of the world will be peaceful forever. The Tianji Daoist also promised to the descendants of Qin Jun that as long as the tribes guarded this ancient tomb, they would never invade here forever. "
"So, you have become grave guards?"
Zi Yang finally understood: why these descendants of the Qin army would conclude a peace agreement with the Qi Xuejun, and why they would guard Kublai’s underground palace for generations.
The records on the murals turned out to be historical deeds.
"Hey! The Qin Dynasty is dead, whose tomb are you defending?" Old Wang suddenly said, with irony in his words.
Qin Xianghe stopped and said frankly, "I am guarding the tomb of the Great Qin World! The people are the world! The Great Qin is dead, but the people are not dead!"
Qin Xianghe stood there majesticly, and everyone was suppressed!
These awe-inspiring words came out of his mouth, and people immediately felt that his thin body was much taller.
Qin Xianghe straightened and stood there for a while, as if suddenly deflated, then returned to the posture of bowed waist and back, and continued to walk forward slowly.
Lao Wang followed Su Rui and Zi Yang silently, no one dared to say anything.
After a while, Qin Xianghe said, "No matter what others think, at least after the completion of the Changsheng Palace, Qinhan Village has been in good weather for thousands of years and has been safe for generations. Until that little beast stole the explosives and attracted you outsiders..."
Qin Xianghe was emotional when he said that, holding on to Shibi coughing again and again.
"The old man, rest." Su Rui said softly, unknowingly they have been walking for a while, this underground gap has been twisted and turned, and they don't know how many roads are ahead.
Qin Xianghe coughed his waist and bent, shook his head and said in pain: "I am old and useless. The secrets of the tomb keepers are only passed on from generation to generation, and they are the last generation passed to me. Cough... Originally guarded. The mantle of the tomb man is to be passed on to Ruilin. I think he has been very talented since he was a child and has been training him secretly. Who knows...cough cough cough..."
"Oh, uncle, don't worry, I think you are still very strong, at least you can live for another 30 to 50 years. If you have this time, you can find a good seedling in the village to train..." Lao Wang said nonchalantly.
Qin Xianghe stopped coughing, raised his head and looked at Old Wang breathlessly, his eyes full of grief and anger.
Lao Wang suddenly remembered that all the villagers in Qinhan Village had been moved as a whole. Now this place has become a gangster, and the father really has no successors.
"Well, if it doesn't work, you can also pass it to me. I am a person who can keep a secret." Old Wang said with his eyes wide open, and he seemed to be sincere.
Qin Xiang turned his head kindly and ignored him.
"Old man, what exactly is enshrined in this longevity palace?" Su Rui asked suddenly.
"King Yu Jiuding! Don't you already know it?" Qin Xianghe said grimly.
Su Rui glanced at each other with Zi Yang, and then said: "This King Yu Jiuding was brought by Yu Xue Jun-the Heavenly Mystery Taoist?"
Qin Xianghe shook his head: "Jiuding was brought out by the Lingnan Army. The ancestors came here to hide the traces of Jiuding."
Everyone was shocked. The missing Jiuding was brought out by Qin Jun himself. What caused them to smuggle out this supreme treasure? There must be another twists and turns in this story.
"Did the Jidao people know the existence of this Jiuding that day?" Su Rui continued to ask.
Qin Xiang hummed and hummed: "Of course the Taoist Tianji knows, and he knows more than us. It was the Taoist Tianji who came up with the idea to let us build the Longevity Palace underground and use Jiuding Town in it."
Zi Yang suddenly remembered something, and opened his mouth and asked: "How did the prospecting team die?"
