Qin Yu has confirmed the identity of Han Bao. He is none other than Yuan Chenghuan, the great governor of the Anti-Liao Dynasty, the famous general who was executed by Emperor Chongzhen for Lingchi crimes in history.
Yuan Chenghuan did not die, and Chongzhen did not commit suicide. However, Yuan Chenghuan died in the end, but his body turned into a drought demon for some reason, which is equivalent to being reborn.
Everything was connected. Qin Yu moved the statue of Yuan Chenghuan back to the temple, pressed the yellow brocade silk cloth underneath again, and walked out of the temple. There was Yuan Chenghuan's token. These soldiers just watched Qin Yu leave without any thought.
Action. Returning along the original path, Qin Yu came to the entrance of the cave again, re-entered the pool, and swam towards the shore.
"Look, there is movement there. It's Brother Qin who's back."
On the bank of the pool, Du Ruoxi sat on the ground with his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking. Yao Dan was resting next to Du Ruoxi, while Fan Weishu and the young Taoist priest were staring at the bank. The one who just spoke was
Young Taoist priest.
"I'm so cold. Wait for me to put on my clothes first." Qin Yu climbed up from the water and saw the expressions on several people's faces that wanted to ask questions, so he spoke first.
"Why have you been down for so long, three-quarters of an hour?" Du Ruoxi was the first to ask when Qin Yu had put on his clothes and was brushing his wet hair.
"This pool is too wide. I swam for half an hour and probably didn't reach the center of the pool. It was too cold, so I couldn't help but come back." Qin Yu said casually.
"You mean you didn't find any trace of those soldiers?" Du Ruoxi frowned and stared at Qin Yu suspiciously.
"Well, I didn't find it." Qin Yu looked at Du Ruoxi and replied.
"Really?" Du Ruoxi looked deeply into Qin Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Qin Yu's heart.
"If you don't believe me, you can go down and try it yourself." Qin Yu said with a smile. When Du Ruoxi heard Qin Yu's words, she was completely discouraged. The water in this pool was so cold that her hands and feet would become stiff if she went down within a minute.
Cramp, didn't Qin Yu mean what he said?
Qin Yu said this on purpose. No one present except him could bear the cold water. He was sure that no one could expose his lies, so he looked calm.
As for the cave under the water, Qin Yu had no intention of telling Du Ruoxi and the others. He could just know about it himself. After all, if the things in the cave were spread, the entire history of the late Ming Dynasty would be overturned, and the metaphysical world would also be overturned.
Causing shock, the cyan stone gate's secrets about immortality are enough to make countless forces flock to it.
"Then what should we do now? How can we find a way out if we don't know the whereabouts of these soldiers?" Yao Dan said worriedly from the side.
"Since there is no way to go here, let's go back and follow the original path of those soldiers. Maybe there will be another way out." Qin Yu said what he was thinking.
"This is the only way we can do it." Du Ruoxi looked at Qin Yu deeply and said nothing. Others would not have any objections. Yao Dan and Fan Weishu were almost led by Du Ruoxi, while the young Taoist priest seemed to be standing behind
On Qin Yu's side, the matter decided by the two of them is equivalent to the decision of this five-person team.
So the group of people returned along the original path again, but this time Qin Yu walked up to Fan Weishu and said with a smile: "Where is Brother Fan from?"
"I'm from Beijing." Fan Weishu said truthfully.
"Oh, from what Brother Fan said earlier, it seems that he knows a lot about this aspect. His family is well-educated."
"No, it's just that my uncle has some books on this subject at home. He used to like to read them when he had nothing to do. Moreover, my grandfather also likes to study this, and he only knows a few things through his ears and eyes." Fan Weishu said modestly, but he was still young after all.
After receiving such a compliment from Qin Yu, the man showed some complacency on his face. He glanced at Du Ruoxi secretly. When he saw that Du Ruoxi had no reaction at all, he became a little frustrated again.
This change in Fan Weishu's expression made Qin Yu feel funny. Fan Weishu really liked this Du Ruoxi, but it was obvious from the looks of the two of them that Luo Shen was interested.
Some way to go.
"Khan, why should I worry about other people's affairs? I can't even pay my debts." Qin Yu saw Fan Weishu and Du Ruoxi and suddenly thought of Mo Yongxin. He shook his head helplessly and sighed towards
As they walked forward, Fan Weishu on the other side became confused, why did he say so and walked away again?
The few people quickly returned to their original positions and continued walking in the direction the soldiers had come from without stopping too much. According to Qin Yu's guess, these soldiers walked in a straight path, that is, in one direction.
Gold liquid can be found.
However, after walking for a while, Qin Yu and others were dumbfounded. There was no road ahead. There was only a stone wall, but there was a narrow gap between the stone walls that could only accommodate one person.
"Let's go in." Once here, Qin Yu will not give up. Even if it is not for the gold liquid or to find a way out, he will walk into this gap. Du Ruoxi and others have no other opinions, so Qin Yu
The first one to go in was Du Ruoxi, followed by Yao Dan and Fan Weishu, and the young Taoist priest was the last.
At the narrowest point of this gap, Qin Yu had to go sideways. It took several people more than half an hour to walk through this gap.
"I can't stand it anymore. My arms have been bruised several times." After walking out of the gap, Fan Weishu sat down on the ground and rolled up his sleeves. As expected, several pieces of skin were scratched on his arms. The five of them
Among the people, Fan Weishu was a little fatter. Although the others felt uncomfortable, they were not bruised.
"What kind of place is this?" Du Ruoxi looked around and asked doubtfully.
Qin Yu glanced around, it seemed to be a cave, because Qin Yu saw some stalactites dripping water above his head, and there were moss on the stone walls on both sides. The entire cave was very humid.
"Let's keep walking. I don't know how deep this cave is. We don't have that much time to spend here."
Qin Yu gave Fan Weishu a hand and pulled him up. The group of people continued to walk inside. The atmosphere was very dull. There was nothing but moss along the way, and there was no sight to see. This was different from the caves in tourist areas.
The difference is that there are at least some strange stalactites to admire, while the stalactites here are all the same without any special features.
After walking like this for about ten minutes, Fan Weishu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "How long do we have to go?"
Qin Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I have an intuition that we are almost there."
"Are we here? Where are we?" Du Ruoxi asked suddenly. Qin Yu felt that he had just let slip something. He smiled and explained: "We're at the exit of the underground palace."
"Listen? What's the sound?" the young Taoist priest walking at the back suddenly spoke.
"Sound?" Qin Yu listened to the young Taoist priest's words and pricked up his ears. Sure enough, there was a slight gurgling sound. Qin Yu and Du Ruoxi exchanged a look and looked back at the same time.
, the expressions of the two changed drastically, and Qin Yu shouted: "Run quickly."
It turned out that he didn't feel it when he was walking. When he turned around, Qin Yu discovered that the road they were walking on was sloping. They were walking on a slope. This was a very small slope. You couldn't feel it without looking back.
They were heading downward at the moment, that is, toward the center of the earth.
Qin Yu suddenly shouted "Run" because he heard that the sound was the sound of running water, and it was the sound of rolling water. They were currently below, in this small cave, Qin Yu
Yu couldn't imagine what would happen if a wave of floods came over.
After Qin Yu shouted to run, he ran forward without saying a word. Now he knew that the further he ran, the further he ran, and there was nothing he could do. It was impossible to turn back. Although Du Ruoxi and others were not as good as Qin Yu,
Hearing, but they are also self-aware, knowing that among them, Qin Yu is the most powerful, and now the most powerful people's expressions suddenly changed, and they ran forward desperately. The four of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately
Then he ran forward.
"Qin Yu, what happened? Why are you running so fast?"
The one running in the front is Qin Yu, and the second is Du Ruoxi. Even though she is a girl, she is the fastest runner except Qin Yu. But even so, the distance between her and Qin Yu is also small.
Slowly pulling away, Qin Yu almost disappeared all the way and was about to disappear from their sight. Du Ruoxi had to shout.
Qin Yu turned around and saw the four Du Ruoxi people behind him. He frowned, but finally stopped and took out four talismans from his arms. After the four people caught up, he gave the four talismans to the four of them and gave instructions.
He said: "Throw this talisman at your feet and run forward."
After saying this, Qin Yu glanced behind him again. His eyes shrank sharply. Not far behind him, he could already see a wave of flood coming. This time, even Du Ruoxi and the others knew it.
Hearing the sound of water, they turned around. Du Ruoxi and Yao Dan turned pale with fright, while Fan Weishu began to tremble and sat down on the ground.
"I'm scared now." Qin Yu saw Fan Weishu lying softly on the ground and cursed secretly. But if he was asked to run away regardless of Fan Weishu's life or death, he did it again. At that moment, he carried Fan Weishu on his back.
He shouted to Du Ruoxi and the other three: "Let's hold on tight and don't let go. If we are swept away by the flood later, we must stay together. I estimate that this flood is just a wave. As long as we can bear it, we will be fine."
Du Ruoxi glanced at Qin Yu without saying a word. He stretched out one hand to hold Qin Yu's hand, and held Yao Dan's hand with the other hand. Yao Dan's hand held the young Taoist priest's hand. Behind him was the rolling flood hitting the cave wall.
sound.
At this time, it was too late for the few people to run away. Even if Qin Yu gave them the Five Elements Wind Speed Talisman, they could still surpass the speed of the flood. With their backs to the flood, and listening to the sound of the flood getting closer and closer, Qin Yu discovered
The palm of his hand holding Du Ruoxi's hand was already sweaty, and he couldn't tell whether it was Du Ruoxi's, his own, or both. (To be continued)
