Guanzhong, Xianyang.
Qianling Underground Palace.
The corpse turtles all over the place have all turned into mummified corpses, forming the shape of a road, continuously extending inside.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
In the underground palace hall, on the stone platform, Zhu Youwen held a wooden brocade box tightly in his hand, raised his head and laughed wildly: "I have finally found the Longquan treasure!"
At the bottom of the steps, Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling knelt down and cupped their hands, congratulating with joy: "Congratulations to the Ghost King! Congratulations to the Ghost King! Finally found the key to the Longquan treasure..."
Not far from the two of them, several Zhongyuan surveyors were also kneeling on the ground, huddled together with their heads lowered, trembling.
Zhu Youwen was in a happy mood, pacing back and forth for a few steps, looking at the surveyors with great joy, and said happily: "You guys are indeed very capable, and I will give you many rewards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Haoling immediately took out a few silver ingots and handed them over to their hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Several surveyors accepted the silver ingots, but their expressions were still uneasy.
It was really frightening to work under these three ghosts. If something unexpected happened, their lives would be in danger - quite a few of their colleagues fell in front of them along the way.
Zhu Youwen carried the sword box containing the Longquan Sword on his back, and he slowly walked down the stone platform in a good mood. He placed the treasure box horizontally in his palm, and after carefully considering it, he was about to open the lid of the box.
But as soon as his fingers landed on the lid of the box, he hesitated, and finally handed the treasure box to Chang Haoling.
"The clues to the treasure are hidden in such a small box. There may be key clues. If I don't notice it, it will be a waste. Give it to them and take a closer look for me first."
"As ordered." Chang Haoling was stunned for a moment, but immediately walked up quickly and bent down to take the treasure box.
When passing by Chang Xuanling, she winked at Chang Haoling.
At this time, Chang Haoling happened to have his back to Zhu Youwen. If he opened the treasure box and took a look, Zhu Youwen would not notice anything at all.
The former hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to open the lid of the box. He strode over and handed the box into the hands of a surveyor. At the same time, he sternly warned: "Such a sacred object, you must look carefully for the king!"
"Natural, natural."
Kan and Shi nodded like garlic, and the people beside him rushed forward, fearing that some key clues would be revealed later.
Kan and Master opened the treasure box with trembling hands. At this time, you can see a dull light emanating from it.
Chang Haoling squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Youwen with his peripheral vision, and found that the latter was also looking here intently.
However, when the treasure box was opened, these surveyors lowered their heads and were stunned.
Chang Haoling frowned and asked: "What did you see..."
But before he finished speaking, the treasure box suddenly fell off the hand of the surveyor. While Chang Haoling was stunned, the survey masters stood up with blank expressions on their faces.
The next moment, several people seemed to be scrambling, and they all crashed into the stone pillars on the side. In an instant, blood splattered on the foreheads of several people, and they died.
"!"
Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling looked at each other, stunned.
Zhu Youwen's thick eyebrows stood up and his face looked gloomy.
Chang Haoling turned around in fear, and suddenly knelt down: "Ghost King, this, this, this... has nothing to do with our brothers and sisters!"
Chang Xuanling looked shocked, and a sense of joy suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Huh!" Zhu Youwen snorted coldly, walked towards the two pale-faced people, and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with the box."
He raised his hand and the lid of the treasure box closed on its own, and then it was sucked into the air into his palm.
He lowered his head and frowned, carefully observing the complicated and strange patterns on the lid of the box.
Chang Haoling quietly raised his eyes and peered over.
"These lines are not like those painted by people from the Central Plains."
Zhu Youwen groaned, then squinted at the frightened brother and sister, raised his eyebrows slightly, and threw the treasure box in front of Chang Haoling.
"Hei Wuchang, take a look for me."
The hair behind Chang Haoling suddenly rose. He looked at the square treasure box on the ground and dodged back like a snake and a scorpion: "Subordinate, I thought..."
Cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, his fingers felt cold, and his mind went blank. At this moment, I was speechless and speechless.
Chang Xuanling behind him was panicked, and the happiness in his heart disappeared instantly. At this time, he could only say tremblingly: "Ghost King, Ghost King, my eldest brother doesn't know the art of controlling people, what's the use of showing him... you I can’t see any problem, so how can my brother see that there are no flowers? Why don’t we leave this underground palace for the time being and find a way?”
Although she had a low-brow look, she could not help but raise her eyebrows quietly at this moment, watching Zhu Youwen's reaction.
"Two losers!"
Seeing the two people's greed for life and fear of death, Zhu Youwen snorted coldly, and then after thinking about it, he reached out and took the treasure box back into his palm.
The black and white impermanence is in his hands, and it is quite easy to use. He doesn't want to waste it here.
"Forget it, just go out first, and then look for someone to look at the clues in this box."
He put the treasure box in his arms and prepared to leave the underground palace.
Chang Haoling felt like she had just walked away from the underworld. At this moment, she looked at Chang Xuanling gratefully and said with a heart: "Little sister, it's good to have you..."
】
Chang Xuanling sighed quietly, as if he had been used to it for a long time.
The Ghost King wanted to leave regardless, but the two of them wanted to stay here for a while to search for some belongings in the underground palace.
Even the corpses of the surveyors were all searched.
The ghost king, this little guy, only gave orders to the two of them one day, but did not give them a cent of funding. Along the way, the two people's belongings had long been exhausted.
Now under Li Jing's rule, every state and county has a Jinyi Guards Office, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous and steal money casually.
Once you get here, you have to make a fortune.
Chang Xuanling resented the injustice, thinking that they were black and white and impermanent, when had they ever worried about this golden and white thing!
But even though she hated the ghost king Zhu Youwen so much, she could only hold it in. She and Chang Haoling carried a big baggage and prepared to leave the hall.
But after the two people left the main hall, the ghost king could not be seen outside the hall.
And under the palace platform, at some point, a gurgling red magma slowly floated up. At this time, it slowly spread over the steps and headed towards the soles of the two people's feet.
Chang Xuanling collapsed completely, threw the big baggage at his feet, his chest heaved violently, and then he yelled through gritted teeth.
"This damn ghost king! I've had enough!"
Chang Haoling was also heartbroken, but fortunately, when he looked around, he saw a towering pillar that led directly to the top of the underground palace.
Before he could say anything more, he kicked down the palace door behind him and threw him into the lava.
"Xuan Ling, leave quickly!"
————
Black and white Wuchang's body was covered with traces of smoke and fire. When he ran out of the Qianling Hall in embarrassment, he was already panting from exhaustion.
It was almost midnight when they entered the underground palace. At this time, looking up from the entrance of the underground palace, I found that the sky was already bright.
"Brother, we can't wait any longer! We must escape no matter what!"
Chang Xuanling was filled with grief and anger, her pink fists clenched tightly, and words squeezed out from between her teeth were filled with unstoppable hatred.
Chang Haoling was silent. They had the Ghost King's Xuanming Blood Pill in their bodies, so they couldn't just run away.
The two people had just lost the belongings they had searched for, and now they were supporting each other and staggering out of the stairway.
After going out, the first thing that caught their eyes was a black flag with the word "Tang" embroidered in gold. With that flag as the center and outwards, there are endless flags of various kinds.
The two were stunned.
Under the unmarked monument, the empress is dressed in military uniform, standing quietly on horseback with an expressionless face.
Beside her, Duan Chengtian, Kui Mu and other masters of the Imperial Guard stood beside her.
Hou Qing did not ride a horse, but stood high on a stone tablet and leisurely tossed three copper coins.
When the copper coin fell, he covered it with his hand and then took it away.
Hou Qing raised his eyebrows and said with determination: "Looking at this hexagram, you have to stay here today - Brother Ghost."
Zhu Youwen, who was surrounded by everyone, had a look of fear on his face.
