Su Rong and Ye Guixue led the people to carefully search the bottom of the cliff three times, but could not find any trace of other secret passages besides the cave.
Su Rong frowned and watched as the snow gradually fell. The scattered light snow earlier had now turned into large snowflakes. In just half a day, the entire ground under the Eagle Beak Cliff was about to be covered with a quilt. She said to Ye Guixue: "I still believe in the words of His Highness the Fourth Prince."
Ye Guixue had met Yan Shen, but had never had close contact with her. But since Su Rong said this, he still believed that she would not make a mistake. He looked up from the white snow at the bottom of Yingzui Cliff and asked, "Is it because she is too old?" Long, has it been moved a long time ago? Or maybe we are looking in the wrong direction, maybe it is above?"
"This Yingzui Cliff is indeed a good place to hide treasures. It is hidden among the mountains behind the Great Buddha Temple. If it wasn't intentional, who would have thought of such a place?" Su Rong agreed with Ye Guixue's last sentence. , "Maybe our direction is wrong. Let's look from bottom to top this time."
Although Yingzui Cliff is not so high as to reach the clouds, it is still several thousand feet high. Some of the rocks on the cliff are as smooth as copper mirrors, and some are covered with vines.
Su Rong took out the wall-climbing lock she carried with her and asked Ye Guixue, "Do you have this?"
Ye Guixue paused and shook his head.
Su Rong smiled at her, "Then just wait at the bottom of the cliff!"
Ye Guixue shook her head and said with a smile: "I have a dagger that I carry with me to help me climb cliffs."
"Iron is like clay?"
"Iron is like clay!"
Su Rong said: "I also have one, as a thank you gift for saving His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded.
So, the two of them stopped wasting time and gave instructions to the secret guards. Each of the secret guards occupied a place and began to search inch by inch from the bottom of the cliff along the rocks to the top of the cliff.
The secret guards are naturally martial arts masters, so climbing cliffs is a no-brainer.
As Su Rong climbed up to investigate, she thought to herself that after struggling all night and half a day, her hands were almost frozen. If she found nothing, she would grab the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, Shen, who cares about him as soon as she got out of Yingzui Cliff. He was an eminent monk or not, no matter if he was highly virtuous or had a royal seal, she would torture him into telling the truth. She didn't believe that the secrets Yan Shen said had nothing to do with the Great Buddha Temple.
About halfway up the mountain, Su Rong and Ye Guixue found nothing. However, there was movement from Yinyue's side, and she shouted, "Sir, Miss Qi, something seems to be wrong here."
When Su Rong heard this, she immediately turned around. Yinyue was about ten feet away from her and Ye Guixue, and there were many vines entangled in his place.
She looked away and looked at Ye Guixue, "Let's go there."
Ye Guixue nodded.
The two of them walked across the cliff together.
Yinyue turned sideways and got out of the way, showing the two of them, "The vines here don't seem to grow naturally, they look like man-made growth, but there are too many of them, and my subordinates dare not take action easily for fear of cutting off any of them."
Su Rong immediately said: "I'll do it."
Su Rong looked at it for a while and pulled at it. After a while, she took out her dagger and stretched the vines one by one. If they couldn't be stretched, she cut them off directly. She stretched out about dozens of vines, and suddenly she found a very thin one. , only a "click" sound was heard from the stone wall.
Su Rong's hand suddenly stopped, she looked up and found exactly where the sound was. She let go of the vine and went to the sound. She studied it for a while and waved to Ye Guixue, "Guixue, there is indeed something here. Agency, come here and help me."
Ye Guixue responded and came to her side.
Su Rong pointed to the smooth stone wall in front of her and said to her: "This mechanism is indeed exquisitely set up. In addition to its ingenuity, there is another point. It requires a lot of strength to open this mechanism. I am afraid I won't be able to push it open by myself. You can come with me and use Strongly recommend.”
Yinyue was a little eager to try, "Young Master, Miss Seven, please come down!"
Su Rong answered him, "Your young master and I will try it first. If we are not strong enough, you can come over again."
After Su Rong finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Guixue, who nodded. Each of them stretched out a hand and pressed it on the stone wall. They used force together. They heard two more "clicks" and the stone wall moved inward three times. inch.
Su Rong looked at these three inches and encouraged herself, "Come again."
Ye Guixue nodded.
So, the two of them used force twice more to push the stone wall half a foot inward.
Su Rong was sweating on his forehead and said to Ye Guixue: "I can't do it anymore. Let Yinyue take turns with the secret guards!"
Ye Guixue smiled and nodded, praising her, "She is already very strong."
Su Rong saw that his forehead was sweating slightly and waved to Yin Yue.
Yinyue immediately called to the secret guards who were not far apart from each other, and took turns pushing, pushing and pushing again and again, and pushed back a thick stone slab that was as high as one person and as wide as two people and as heavy as a thousand junctures, and it was halfway up the smooth stone wall. , launched a platform.
Su Rong jumped onto the platform, glanced around, and saw a pattern on the top of the platform. She stopped Yin Yue, "Stop pushing, there is another mechanism."
Yinyue and others immediately stopped.
Su Rong immediately took out the dagger and stabbed it hard into the middle of the pattern. In an instant, there were several "click click click" sounds, and a door opened on the side of the stone wall where the stone slab was pushed away. It looked like a cave.
Su Rong withdrew the dagger and said to Ye Guixue: "Let's go!"
Ye Guixue stopped her, "I go first."
This cave can only allow one person to pass through. Although it is illuminated by luminous pearls, it is not very bright and is quite dark.
Su Rong shook his head, "You're not very proficient in the secrets of mechanisms, let me start."
Ye Guixue said helplessly, "Although I'm not as proficient as you, I'm not bad either."
Su Rong blinked and suddenly asked him: "Do you think I'm too strong and make my own decisions?"
Ye Guixue shook her head, "No."
"Then I'll go first." Su Rong glanced at him with a smile and her eyes fell on his face. At this time, she was in a mood and reminded her seriously, "Gui Xue, protect your face."
Ye Guixue was stunned.
Su Rong walked past him and left the last part of the sentence, "It doesn't matter if my face is injured. I don't rely on my face to make a living anyway, but it doesn't matter if your face is injured. I will miss a bowl of rice."
Ye Guixue: "..."
He was stunned for a while, and saw Su Rong walking forward. When he realized it, he was a little angry and a little funny, and he quickly stepped up to follow her.
Yinyue followed the two of them silently, thinking that the young master was worrying too much. The traps were set up halfway on the cliff. It was so difficult for them to find them. It took a lot of effort to push the rock. How difficult is it to open this cave? How could anyone use a hidden weapon to kill someone? There should be no danger ahead.
Sure enough, Su Rong walked in front without encountering any danger. It was smooth and smooth. After walking for about a stick of incense, her eyes suddenly opened up. All I saw was a stone house the size of three rooms, filled with boxes, about hundreds of them.
Su Rong kicked open the lid of a box with her toes. As the box opened, she saw a box of golden light in front of her eyes, which almost blinded her.
