065. Underground Palace
Back to the familiar place, the coachman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at him from left to right, and saw that no one was thinking about him, he quickly took off his hat and put it under his butt, took off his jacket. The front and back of the jacket was gray and blue, and turned it over and changed the color of his clothes.
Without a hat and changing clothes, I guess it won't attract attention, right?
This little trick is the survival wisdom that the lower class people living under the rule of Mi Qing must raise their glasses.
After the makeover, he leaned over the curtain and whispered, "Uncle, I'm back from asking questions, but it's quite messy here, why don't we talk while walking?"
Hearing the guest whispered in the car, the coachman immediately shook the reins and drove the horse away.
The coachman stared at the road with his eyes alert, for fear of rushing to the bannerman, but his waist was straight and closer to the curtain, so that he could be waited for the customer's instructions.
After a while, he saw that it was far away from Aobai's mansion, and he whispered: "Uncle, I heard from someone that I have searched the father-in-law Xiaochunzi and the father-in-law Ao's tens of millions of taels of silver, which disappeared last night. A bannerman said that it was Aobai's accomplices who killed the father-in-law and secretly transported all the gold and silver he copied, hoping to let the father-in-law take the blame."
"Um?"
A Ke was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Isn't it more than 10 million taels? Why is it tens of millions of taels of silver?"
The coachman laughed dryly, and he was conscious of spreading rumors: "I heard that it was only tens of millions of taels."
A Ke did not look at it carefully. She was not clear about the identities of Chen Chong and the others. After talking to Jianning last night, she learned a lot of information.
For example, although Jianning is a princess, he claims to have no feelings for the emperor and is even happy to see Kangxi die...
Of course, she was skeptical about this.
For example, the eunuch Xiao Chunzi, who is famous for capturing and killing Oboi, is actually Chen Chong pretending to be.
She was very convinced of this. Brother Chen was even more powerful than his master. If anyone in the capital could kill Oboi, he would probably be able to do it.
The girl put down the teacup and suddenly realized: No, that Xiaochunzi's father-in-law is Brother Chen?
Then she thought of another thing - since Brother Chen is fine, where did the money go?
She moved her heart and took out a large ingot of silver from her purse. She turned over the ingot and saw that the bottom was sunken and the casting mark had already blurred.
The sensitivity of women made the girl realize instantly that perhaps the gold and silver were stolen by Chen Chong.
Although she was suspicious, she became even more confused. After all, in her perception, it is impossible for a person to take so many things away.
Not to mention tens of millions of taels, tens of millions of taels must have more than ten boxes, right?
"Young Master, your son!"
Seeing that the patron did not respond, the coachman tentatively called out: "We are leaving Chongwen Sect, how can we go next?"
A Ke came to his senses: "Let's go nearest and go directly to Lichunyuan."
"Okay!"
———
The imperial tomb of the eastern suburbs.
When A Ke arrived at Lichun Courtyard, Chen Chong finally found the location of the underground palace.
Although the area he enclosed was large, the thickness of the soil on the ground was limited, so it didn't take much time.
After using up all the spears, the location of the underground palace has been roughly determined, and then the floating soil on the surface is stripped and the octagonal fine iron melon hammer is enough.
In the original film, Wei Xiaobao and Feng Xifan exploded with all their strength, which exploded the top of the underground palace.
Chen Chong thought he had a high internal strength, but in terms of true qi explosion, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Wei Xiaobao and Feng Xifan.
However, although he did not have enough internal strength, he had brute force. No matter how hard the underground bricks and stones were, they could not resist this roughness.
The internal strength is indeed very useful, but I chose to beat the ball to eighty!
Half an hour later, he had smashed the entrance to the underground palace.
Jianning lay down at the gap and looked down, and saw that the underground palace was dark, and in the dark, there were countless faint firelights.
She sniffed and stood up with a frown.
Seeing her face strange, Chen Chong asked, "Jianning, what's wrong?"
Jianning shook his head slightly: "I smelled a very familiar smell, but I couldn't remember it anyway. Maybe I remembered it wrong..."
The man didn't care and continued to turn around and shovel the turf.
The entrance he smashed out was not big, it was just thicker than the waists of two people. After he went down, no one would notice the gap as long as he covered it with turf.
After a while, the turf had been shoveled. Chen Chong broke a few branches, woven a support frame, and tied the turf to the stand with vines. Only then did he return to the girl with satisfaction.
"Brother Chong!"
Jianning shouted and asked expectantly: "Can we go down?"
Chen Chong took out an Emei thorn from his portable space and rolled up a rope. He smiled and said, "This underground palace is obviously five or six meters tall. If you don't prepare the rope, we won't be able to come out then."
The girl said "Oh" and then watched the man operate seriously.
Chen Chong first pierced the Emei thorns tied with the rope into the soil, then threw the rope into the hole, and then waved to Jianning with the shield-like turf.
"Set off!"
Jianning cheered and hugged Chen Chong tightly, while the man grabbed the rope with one hand and the turf with the other, slowly landing towards the underground palace from the entrance of the cave.
With his back hand covered the turf, Chen Chong felt dark before his eyes darkened. After his eyes adapted to the darkness, his eyes slowly recovered their vision.
He hugged Jianning and slowly descended, staring around him vigilantly, fearing that an unknown mechanism would fly out of the darkness until he landed on the ground. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't move around, be careful of the mechanism."
Chen Chong protected the girl behind him, then whispered another reminder, and then began to observe the situation around him.
The underground palace is like a palace, but the interior is not wide. The two are now standing in the middle of a shrine.
Around the Shinto is a black lake, with oil lamps placed in the lake, and the wicks are as big as soybeans and emit a faint light as fireflies.
On both sides of the Shinto, a half-person-high lotus lantern stands every three feet.
The lotus lantern is still not very bright, and the lights extend to both ends of the sacred road, but it is impossible to see the light clearly if it is ten feet away.
"Brother Chong, look!"
Jianning suddenly pulled Chen Chong's sleeve, pointed to the end of the Shinto and said, "Look at it, is there something glowing?"
Chen Chong narrowed his eyes and saw a ball of yellow objects emitting a faint yellow light surrounded by several oil lamps in the distance.
Jiulong Feng Shui Screen Wall!
In an instant, he remembered that the yellow thing should be the golden beans spit out of the mouth of the dragon on the Fengshui dragon wall.
Chen Chong remembers it clearly. In the original plot, Feng Xifan and Wei Xiaobao fell into front of the Feng Shui dragon wall, and his location was a little far away from the dragon wall.
When I looked down, I saw that the shrine was covered with stone bricks two feet square, with words engraved on them, which seemed to be Manchu.
He pointed to the ground and asked, "Jianning, see if the mandarin is written on the ground?"
Jianning glanced a few times, nodded and said with certainty: "It's indeed Manchu, but these words are scattered and cannot be put together in sentences. I don't know what it means."
Chen Chong knew in his heart that according to routine, these Manchu texts should be able to form a sentence, and as long as they step on them in the correct order, the mechanism will not be triggered.
In this way, this underground palace should have a normal entrance. Only by entering from the normal entrance can you see the initial text.
However, the place where the two of them fell was right in the middle of the Shinto, and they knew nothing about Shinto's secret words, so it was probably impossible to get to the dragon wall by taking a quick look.
But after thinking about this section, Chen Chong felt relieved.
For others, taking shortcuts is wisdom; for them, taking shortcuts is one force to break all things.
With the Great Perfection "Thirteen Taibao's horizontal practice of the Golden Bell Cover", what mechanisms are they afraid of?
