When the stone steps reached the end, what appeared in front of Lan Qiao and Zhu Qingxiao was a huge stone door nearly two feet high.

"What a big door." Zhu Qingxiao walked to the door, raised her head and exclaimed.

Lan Qiao looked at the tall stone gate in front of him and said in a deep voice: "We should be at the bottom of Daming Lake now. It is not easy to carve out such a large space at the bottom of the lake. Jinan is known as the City of Springs. There are spring pools everywhere in the city, and even

Including the water source of Daming Lake comes from underground. Most of the space here is naturally formed due to its unique geological environment. It was later discovered by Li Shunji, or maybe Li Bin, so he bought the land in Zhouzhu in the lake and built it.

Transcendent Building.”

Zhu Qingxiao said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that there would be such a big secret hidden under a small stone boat. Considering that Li Shunji likes to contact friends in the world, he must not have any shameful ambitions.

?.”

"Who can predict it accurately?" Lan Qiao said calmly, "Now that King Yan Jingnan is in chaos, if Li Shunji really has any intentions, he will be ready to attack recently."

His eyes fell back on the huge stone door. There was a small raised platform in the lower right corner of the stone door, and a keyhole-like gap could be seen on it. It was not a straight gap, but branched into "people"

"Three forked keyholes in the shape of a glyph.

"This should be the keyhole that opens the stone door. It is deliberately designed in such a complex pattern with three forks. There may be some big secret hidden inside the door." Lan Qiao held the luminous pearl in his hand and looked up and down at the keyhole and said, "

But this is the secret of the Li family. It has been passed down from Li Bin to today for decades and almost a hundred years. It has little to do with us, so we should go back as soon as possible."

Zhu Qingxiao nodded obediently. As soon as the two turned around, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from the stone steps. Looking up, they could vaguely see a faint firelight in the distance above the stone steps gradually approaching them.

somebody is coming.

Lan Qiao gave Zhu Qingxiao a wink and told her to be quiet. The two squatted in a dark place. When the person came closer, they realized that the person who came was Lan Feng. Lan Qiao jumped out from the side and scared Lan.

Feng jumped, and the latter stroked his chest and said in shock: "Hey, brother, are you a rat? Why did you bring your little cousin here to dig holes? This nonsense will scare me to death again."

"You are the rat." Lan Qiao squinted at Lan Feng and said, "Tell me, what are you doing here? Did you prepare for it and bring us here on purpose?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lan Feng was holding a small oil lamp and a gold lampstand in his hand. It seemed that he had taken it out of Li Zhuer's boudoir. He approached the three-person herringbone door next to the stone door.

Cha Keyhole looked carefully and said at the same time: "Brother, you were the one who suggested going out for a walk after drinking. It was my cousin who suggested boating on the lake. What does it have to do with me?"

While he was talking, he also took out a winding thin copper wire and inserted it into the keyhole, sometimes twisting it and sometimes pulling it, carefully not knowing what he was testing.

"Don't come here." Lan Qiao said disdainfully, "Don't look like you fell down by chance. How could you come down with an oil lamp if you were not prepared in advance? I know you very well, even if Qingxiao and I don't mention traveling.

Lake, you will also find other reasons to come to Chaoran Building."

Zhu Qingxiao couldn't help but said: "So, does it mean that Brother Lan Feng just struck up a conversation with Sister Zhuer on purpose?"

"Hey, don't talk about me in such a bad way, okay?" Lan Feng protested, "That girl Li Zhuer, I really saw that she was lonely and pitiful, so I went over to talk to her, not for any other purpose."

As he spoke, he kept moving his hands until he had used copper wire to explore all three branches of the keyhole. Then he raised his head and said: "Later, Li Zhuer and Ling Xiaozi ran to the side to talk, and then I came in to look around.

Turn." Lan Qiao didn't know what happened on the stone ship, so Lan Feng briefly told the story of the man in black's Border City Arrow and Ling Yu's flight to Li Shunji.

"So it seems that Border Town Arrow came down to this tunnel to find something?" Lan Qiao frowned, "Speaking of which, Second Young Master, how did you find the entrance to the tunnel?"

"With so many of you going down here, the footprints on the floor tiles are almost stacked up. I noticed something strange about the entrance." Lan Feng said nonchalantly, "The arrows from the border city just came down, so they must have stepped on them."

"Where to step?" Lan Qiao asked.

Lan Feng suddenly looked around cautiously, and after confirming that everything was fine, he whispered in Lan Qiao's ear: "The treasure map of Xixia."

Lan Qiao was shocked, and immediately remembered what Zhu Gaoxu had said to him that day, saying that there were clues to the Xixia treasure in Jinan. At that time, he thought the matter was too vague and unrealistic, but he did not expect to find clues to the treasure.

"This is actually King Yan's secret order." Lan Feng continued, "King Yan Jingnan wanted to fight against the world with the power of one city. He was short of money and could not collect taxes and plunder from his own city, so he came up with the idea.

To discover treasures."

Lan Qiao had already heard the reason for this incident from Zhu Gaoxu and asked, "What does this incident have to do with Li Shunji?"

"Li Shunji's ancestor, Li Bin, was originally a descendant of the Xixia royal family. When the Mongolian army attacked Xixia, Emperor Li Sui of the late Xia was besieged in Zhongxing Mansion. Half a year later, he ran out of food and surrendered to Mongolia, and Xixia died. At that time, Genghis Khan had died of illness.

Liupanshan, his son Tuo Lei violated the will of Genghis Khan and killed Li Sui who had surrendered, and at the same time allowed the Mongolian army to massacre in Zhongxing Mansion. The palaces and cemeteries of Xixia were burned to the ground, and the concubine Gong'e of the Xia royal family was humiliated and tortured. All of this

It was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the remnants of Xixia." Lan Feng sighed, and then continued: "Li Sui's descendants luckily escaped from the massacre and ran thousands of miles to the Central Plains. They thought they could restore Xixia with the help of the power of Jin and Song.

, Unexpectedly, the Jin and Song Dynasties were destroyed by the Mongols one after another, so they had to hide their names and come to Shandong to live in seclusion."

Lan Qiao said: "So Li Bin is a descendant of the Xixia royal family?"

"Although I'm not sure, I'm sure of success." Lan Feng nodded, "Li is the king's surname in Xixia. The Li family has been operating in Jinan for several generations, just to wait for someone to revolt and restore the country."

Lan Qiao understood, thought for a while and asked: "What about the Xixia treasure? Isn't it hidden downstairs in Chaozhen?"

"No." Lan Feng said, "Xixia has been a country for nearly two hundred years. Because it is located in the Hetao Plain south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in products, its national wealth is very rich. At that time, Xia Xianzong, the uncle of the late Emperor of Xia, saw that he could not defeat Genghis Khan, so he

Not wanting the Xixia national funds to fall into the hands of the cruel and murderous Mongolians, most of the wealth in the treasury and the royal family's private money were buried in a secret treasure, which was called the Xixia Treasure. According to the regulations of the last years of the Xixia Kingdom

According to calculations based on national strength, the treasure should contain at least millions of taels of silver or equivalent gold. It is said that there are also martial arts secrets and peerless magic weapons hidden in the treasure. Later Tuo Lei and his son Meng Ge sent several

People search and dig three feet in the ground, but in the end they find nothing.”
