"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Su Baotong held a handful of smoking mugwort in his hand and gently stretched it towards the floor of the nave.
The next moment, the smoke from the mugwort penetrated into the floor, which was very strange.
"It seems that there must be some underground secret passage here, and the scale is definitely not small." Li Xuan raised her head and looked into the entire living room, her eyes quickly passing over the bottom of the table, the walls, calligraphy, paintings, porcelain bottles and other objects. Pass.
"Brothers have all searched, but just can't find the mechanism at the entrance to the secret passage." Su Baotong stood aside, his solemn face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"It's okay, no matter what your business is, if the secret passage mechanism here is really so easy to find, then when the Dragon Scale Palace was renovated, everything that should be found should have been found!" Li Xuan shook his head and did not blame Su Baotong. .
Whether it is within the palace or the Shendu Garden, the secret passages that exist here are much more secretive and deeper than those previously discovered in Yun Shao Yuan. The previous method of listening to the ground is useless.
Qiu Zhenmu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you really can't do it, just do it forcefully."
"Don't be in a hurry." Li Xuan waved her hands, looked at Qiu Zhenmu with a smile and said, "No one knows whether the mechanism here is hiding anything. If you accidentally destroy the entrance to the secret passage, you will be in trouble, so it's best to The best way is to go to the Ministry of Works or the person who will be the supervisor."
"Ministry of Works? Will you be the supervisor?" Li Xu suddenly looked at Li Xuan in surprise and raised his eyebrows: "If Brother Wei remembers it correctly, Brother Twenty-seven is a master of construction himself, right?"
"I can't call you a master, I'm just getting started." Li Xuan suddenly slapped his hand on the ground, and the next moment, he jumped up.
Li Xuan, who was in mid-air, kicked his toes on the pillar on the side. As he jumped up again, a cold light suddenly flew out from his waist, and then nailed hard to the beam above.
The wood used in the Dragon Scale Palace is all giant blue wood that fell from Beimang Mountain, and the outside is painted with a thick layer of red paint.
Li Xuan pulled her hand, and the person was already nailed to a certain position at the lower end of the beam. A fingerprint could be vaguely seen reflected on it.
If it weren't for her very good eyesight, and if she hadn't opened it more than once recently, I'm afraid Li Xuan would never have discovered this place.
The index finger of his right hand flicked hard against the location of the fingerprint, and the next moment, a two-centimeter square piece of wood flicked inward.
At the same time, the floor below suddenly bounced up and fell to the side with a "pop" sound, revealing the stone slab below and the black lifting ring on the stone. This was the real entrance to the secret passage.
Li Xu on the side couldn't help but stepped forward and pulled on the black handle, but he tried his best and the black handle remained motionless.
"Brother, this still requires some skills." Li Xuan landed lightly on the ground, and Li Xu quickly got out of the way: "Twenty-seventh brother, please!"
Li Xuan's face was solemn, and he pressed his right hand on the black lifting ring. However, he did not pull it up directly, but pressed it down slightly, followed by twisting it three times to the left, three times to the right, and followed the stone slab. Suddenly there was a clicking sound, as if something had been bounced off. ….
At this time, Li Xuan took a deep breath and lifted it up with force.
Immediately, a stone slab half a meter square and one foot thick was lifted up by him.
A pitch-black cave that goes straight downwards with no depth is exposed. Through the light from the entrance, you can see that there seem to be shallow gouges one after another on the four walls of the cave, like stone stairs. , extending all the way down.
"Your Majesty, let's get started!" Qiu Zhenmu couldn't hide his excitement. This time he found the underground secret passage hidden in the Dragon Scale Palace. Even if they couldn't catch the Thousand-Faced Buddha, they could still deal with the emperor.
Li Xuan looked up at Qiu Zhenmu and said with a half-smile: "Brother Qiu, you still need to be careful. I don't know how much the tunnels here have been used by the Tianyin Sect. If they secretly ambush the organization, wouldn't they let the brothers die?" Are you going to fill it in?"
When Li Xuan said this, Qiu Zhenmu's face couldn't help but change slightly. He had personally participated in the previous search for the underground secret passage in Yunshao Yuan.
The entire tunnel of Yun Shao Yuan has long been densely connected, and there is even an underground maze to host everything.
Nowadays, there is probably a similar underground secret network in Shendu Garden, and there may also be such an underground maze. The consequences of entering rashly are unpredictable.
"It's the same old method, divert water in, and we'll enter again half an hour later." Li Xuan looked at the door of the Huainan Palace, and the Dragon Scale Channel was slowly flowing in front of the door.
The entire Dragon Scale Palace is on the north bank of the Ningbi Pond in Shendu Garden, and the water from the Dragon Scale Canal flows into the Ningbi Pond.
The sixteen courtyards are all built around Longlin Canal, and the gates of each courtyard are adjacent to the canal.
"Still the old way, find thick bamboo and set it up from the front door to the central hall, set up a few more stands, and then let the guards work hard to get water from the Dragon Scale Canal, pour it into the bamboo stand, and guide the water to flow into the secret passage. Half an hour later , let's start entering." Li Xuan said this, looked at everyone, and said slightly relaxedly: "If what I expected is correct, there will be basically no people in the entire underground secret passage, and they will basically be some dead mechanisms. As long as these deadly traps are triggered, we can enter."
After hearing Li Xuan's explanation, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Xu and others nodded in understanding.
Li Xuan looked at the entrance to the underground secret passage and narrowed her eyes slightly.
If he were not in a hurry to rush to the palace through the secret passage and catch up with the scene where Qiu Shenji strangled the Thousand-Faced Buddha, he could have spent a whole day bringing the water from the Dragon Scale Canal to flood the entire tunnel and then explore it. Now he only has You can destroy the secret passage mechanism first, and then hope to pass through it smoothly.
In this way, it will save more time.
"Let's go, we need to go out and take a look now and listen to what Brother Huainan Wang has to say. This is his residence after all." Li Xuan's voice became colder.
Huainan County Prince Li Mao and Zhuang Prince Li Feng are undoubtedly involved, so they are more or less connected to the Tianyin Sect.
Previously, the Thousand-Faced Buddha disguised himself as King Zhuang Changshi and lurked beside King Zhuang Li Feng. The strange thing was that King Zhuang did not notice it at all, and was poisoned to death in the end.
How stupid must King Zhuang Li Feng be to let the Thousand-Faced Buddha succeed so easily.
Regarding these Tang sect kings, you can call them greedy, cruel, and violent, but you can never call them stupid. ….
Some of the sons of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and brothers of Tang Taizong Li Shimin were stupid.
As the eldest king of Zhuang, Yang Tai holds many unknown secrets overtly and covertly.
It would be fine if we say that he replaced Yang Tai as a temporary solution, but the Thousand Faced Buddha not only made suggestions for King Zhuang, but also almost obeyed King Zhuang's advice. If King Zhuang didn't know Yang Tai's identity, then he could only say that King Zhuang It was controlled by Yang Tai.
During this period, Li Mao met secretly with King Zhuang many times and planned conspiracies. How much did he know about the Tianyin Sect, and how much contact did they have with each other?
…
Li Xuan did not bring many people with him. He only took Qiu Zhenmu and Li Xu, the crown prince of King Huo, and the three of them left the Dragon Scale Palace together.
In front of Longlin Palace, a flying bridge stretches across the Longlin Canal. Looking around, you will see strange flowers and plants, sparkling waves, and pleasant scenery.
Li Xuan, Li Xu, and Qiu Zhenmu immediately attracted all the attention as soon as they came out of Longlin Palace.
Huainan King Li Mao even looked at Li Xuan, fearing that he might find something.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, brothers Wang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Li Xuan looked seriously and held her hands in front of Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Huo Wang Li Yuangui, Shu Wang Li Yuanming and other kings and princes.
"Twenty-seventh Lang, I heard that you found the entrance to the secret passage?" Han Wang Li Yuanjia looked at Li Xuan calmly and said coldly: "Tell me, who is it?"
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the prince behind the kings. Li Yuanjia immediately shouted coldly: "Except for the fourteenth brother, everyone else retreats three feet away."
"Here!" The many princes, princes, princes, and princes present all agreed with a loud voice.
In particular, King Cao Li Ming, King Ji Li Shen, and King Yue Li Zhen retreated even more quickly.
As the younger brother of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, they knew very well how ruthless this brother would be once something like this happened.
"Brother King Huainan, stay!" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, calling to Huainan County King Li Mao. At the same time, he turned to look at Qiu Zhenmu on one side: "Brother Qiu, please keep an eye on the staff and servants of the Huainan County King's Mansion, but there are If there is any abnormal movement, kill immediately."
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu promised with a respectful clasped fist, and then without looking at the faces of the kings, he directly called on his men and the surrounding forbidden troops to surround the Huainan County King.
All the clan kings present heard it clearly, and except for Li Mao, the king of Huainan County, no one's expression changed. .
