 "Yunfeng, you forgot! Dou Sprout said you can get drunk!"

"It's okay, I'll go down and take a look! I'll be up soon!"

Xiaoxuan said anxiously, "That won't work! I'll go down with you! I don't trust you!"

"No! Just wait here!"

This feeling of being looked down upon by a girl makes me uncomfortable. I, Xiang Yunfeng, am not that useless.

While I was talking, I took off only my underpants.

Standing on the shore, looking at the water area, I took a deep breath, held it in, and jumped directly into the lake.

After diving to a depth of five or six meters, the water temperature started to get cooler.

I didn't wear a diving suit, so my calves were a little cramped due to the cold. I dived a few meters in one breath, and I really saw the "stone bridge" Xiaoxuan mentioned under the water.

This stone bridge is quite well preserved overall and is arch-shaped. There are two stone caves under the bridge. Colorful small fish are constantly swimming in and out of the caves. Several fish seem to be curious about me, a strange visitor.

Still circling around me.

I puffed up my cheeks, tried my best to open my eyes, and looked around the stone bridge.

With my sharp eyes, I could see at a glance what kind of "building" there was lying a few meters away to the west of the stone bridge. It was white in color, with water and plants floating around it, and most of it was buried under the mud.

I swam hard and saw it clearly when I got there.

This is a huge stone archway. The two stone pillars supporting the archway are broken. They may have been pulled down intentionally. The phoenix is ​​carved on the door of the archway. It is very beautifully made and the words engraved on it are clearly visible.

The word "Imperial Edict" is written at the top.

It reads below: "Keep a chaste girl, be virtuous, care for orphans after her husband's death, stay pure all your life."

There is a box on the right side of this line of poem on the doorstep, which is engraved with "Jing Bian Hong Quanpu's wife, Liu's filial piety."

This building was built by the government in the past to commend women who have been loyal to their wives. Generally, only women who have been widowed for decades and have excellent reputations are eligible. This was regarded as a great honor in the past.

There are two other archways in this archway, both of which are half buried in the mud.
My lungs were about to explode. I didn’t have time to look at them one by one and started to dive.

"Have you seen it clearly?" Xiaoxuan was anxious.

I wiped my face and gasped, "Look clearly! That's right! It's exactly the same as what was recorded in the old county chronicle!"

This means that not far to the northwest where the stone bridge points, it should be the entrance to the ancient Lion City! Damn it, the emperor paid off and finally let me figure out the door.

The next second, Xiaoxuan suddenly said, "Yunfeng, can you put on your underwear?"

I looked down and started walking.

I didn't notice for a moment, but my pants fell down to my thighs.

Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "The water is too cold. Don't accidentally catch the cold from the cold."

"What! Little quail??"

I immediately blushed and said, "How can you, a woman, be so immoral! You must have seen clearly! Mine is obviously a golden-winged roc, okay?"

Xiaoxuan held her stomach and laughed wildly.

She pointed at me and said, "You're lying! It's obviously a little quail! I think this little quail can't fly even if it tries hard!"

As soon as these words came out, I was about to explode with anger! What the hell is a little quail that can’t fly even if it tries hard! What is a thin sky!

I didn't even have any clothes on, so I yelled and chased Xiaoxuan for revenge.

Xiaoxuan turned around and ran away, and for a while the island was filled with our laughter and laughter.

Late at night, the bonfire was burning brightly, and this was the only time of day we dared to light a fire.

When the water boils, the aroma of fish soup wafts out.

"It's so fresh. There's no need to add any seasonings. Fengzi, are you sure you don't want some?"

I swallowed my saliva and said firmly, "I won't drink it!"

Watch me eat dried steamed buns

, Dou Sprout Zai deliberately drank it and made a sound. Xiaoxuan handed me the bowl and advised me, "Take a sip and see if it's not poisonous. It's fine."

"Take it, take it. I, Xiang Yunfeng, am a principled person. If I say I don't want to drink, I won't drink!"

At this time, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "There must be copper coins near the ancient city gate, and there is a high probability that there are also ancient silver ingots and the like."

I nodded, fully agreeing with Baotou's statement.

In fact, this is an industry secret, but it doesn’t hurt to say it.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of copper coins scattered around the ground near the ancient city gate, which were accumulated over time.

On the one hand, this is because there were a lot of people passing by the city gate in the past, and people passing by would inevitably drop things. In the past, there was a custom that during festivals or any royal celebrations, the government would send people to go up and down the city gate.

A large number of copper coins were scattered, many of which were palace coins made of silver or gold.

Let me give you an example. In some people's family, no one has been an official in the palace for ten generations, but they have passed down ancient palace coins made of silver or gold. This is because the common people at that time picked them up under the city tower.

brought them home. In the same way, some copper coin hoards also contain one or two gold and silver coins.

I see that many young people now buy treasure detectors to hunt for treasures. Let me tell you a secret. If you are lucky enough to find a money jar from the Song Dynasty, there will be at least two treasures buried within a radius of 20 meters of the money jar.

If you have two or more money jars, you will get 10,000 percent.

He rubbed his head and temples and said, "You guys should rest for a while, and then go to work in the water in the middle of the night."

Not long after I returned to my tent and lay down, Xiaoxuan quietly brought me a bowl of fish soup.

"Drink quickly. We have been in the water for the past two days and there is not much oil or water in our stomachs."

Seeing that I was indifferent, Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "You have to suffer to save face. I don't understand you yet? Drink quickly, no one will see."

My stomach was rumbling, so I couldn't help but take the fish soup, lowered my head and drank it.

r>

So fragrant.

I drank two large bowls in one go, and the fish meat was all clean.

Xiaoxuan's disobedient black cat is locked in a cage in the fishing village hotel, otherwise the remaining fish bones we can feed the cat.

As the saying goes, men shouldn't eat too much at night, otherwise they'll warm up their appetites, and a man and a woman will be crowded into a small tent in the dark, which makes it difficult for me to control it.

Not daring to make any noise, Xiaoxuan put her hand into my pants quietly.

We were both very nervous, just like thieves, afraid that the boss or Brother Yu would suddenly appear.

An hour and a half later.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like my soul had been hollowed out. After finishing, Xiaoxuan wiped her hands and said with a smile, "Little quail, please be honest."

I am ashamed of the ordinary teachings of Dun Dun, I can't help it, I am wrong, I am guilty.

After one o'clock, the three of us got into the water with our equipment.

The high-power underwater blue light can only exert its power at night. Bean sprouts swam the fastest. Under my guidance, we swam quickly to the northwest of the stone bridge.

It's like entering an unknown underwater world.

The surrounding environment gradually began to change. The bottom of the lake was no longer filled with mud, but instead revealed a row of neat and ancient bluestone roads.

After swimming a few hundred meters further along the bluestone road, Dou Sprout, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

I straightened my headlamp and looked ahead.

What I saw was a row of ancient city walls with a height of five meters. Countless old brick houses surrounded the ancient city wall. I couldn’t see the boundary at a glance. A huge stone protruded above the city gate, and a huge stone was artificially carved into the city.

The stone lion head! This stone lion head has a lifelike expression and facial features. With its eyes closed, it looks like it has just fallen asleep.

Seeing this scene, my breathing started to become heavy.

This is the Shicheng ruins, known as Sui'an County in ancient times.
