Early the next morning, Mo Di and the other three rode to Cao Gen'er's house, and Cao Gen'er was waiting at the door early.
Several people entered the house, and Zhao Man'er also brought a lot of food for Cao Gen'er and Grandpa to eat. The two of them had not had such a good meal for a long time, and they were very happy to eat.
Zhao Man'er was waiting for the two of them to eat in the house, while Mo Di and Yang Zi were waiting in the yard.
"We are about to enter the underground palace. It is very dangerous to go there. What are your plans?" Mo Di has never known how to call Princess Yangzi. Calling her a princess will easily reveal secrets, which is extremely inappropriate in such an occasion. Calling her Yangzi
Zi, or to call her Yangzi more affectionately, he couldn't call her Yangzi, mainly because he was worried that Yangzi would be angry, so he just talked about the matter directly without calling her.
Yang Zi said: "No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go. I want to go to the underground palace to find out something. This matter is very important to me."
Seeing that she didn't want to say what it was, Mo Di didn't ask, and said: "That Xiang... Thief Xiang goes with us, you will be in more danger. If there is anything, you can tell me
, it’s the same thing if I do it for you.”
Yang Zi looked at Mo Di and seemed to be moved. He was stunned for a moment and then shook his head and said, "I'd better go in person. Maybe I can help you."
Mo Di said: "That's fine. We take care of each other. Do you have any clues about the spirit bead?"
Yang Zi said: "Neither do I. We will only look for it after we enter the underground palace."
The two talked about some things that need to be paid attention to when entering the underground palace. At this time, Cao Gen Er Ye and the two had finished eating, and they entered the house.
After eating a full meal, the old man felt much better than yesterday and was able to sit up on his own.
The old man took out a piece of cloth and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I may have misremembered it, so I drew another picture for you to take with you. Although it's not accurate, it can be used as a reference."
Mo Di took it and said, "Old man, you really took the trouble."
The old man said: "This is nothing. Compared with the life-saving grace of my benefactor, it is not worth mentioning."
Mo Di said: "Old man, you don't need to be polite anymore." After saying that, Mo Di took out a cloth bag and put it on the bed. It made some metallic sounds and said: "Old man, this is a little bit of my thoughts.
, you accept it. It’s too dangerous here. When the grass root comes back later, you can take the money to the city, buy a yard, and find a good doctor to treat you."
The old man hurriedly said: "My dear benefactor, this is impossible. My old man is helping you, not just for the money." After saying that, he picked up the money bag and wanted to return it.
Mo Di stopped him and said, "Old man, don't be polite. This is not only for you, but also for the grassroots. He will also learn from it in the future. He can't let sheep here all his life."
Zhao Man'er also said: "Yes, old man, when your illness is cured, Cao Gen'er will also graduate from the spiritual academy and become a strong spiritual practitioner in the future. Do you think this will be great?"
The old man was moved and said: "Gen'er, please thank all your benefactors."
Cao Gen'er was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but was stopped by Zhao Man'er. Zhao Man'er also took out a small purse and said, "Old man, this is a little bit of my thoughts."
"And mine." Yang Zi took out a bigger money bag and put it on the old man's bed.
The old man was so excited that he said: "This...this..." He bowed several times on the bed and was so moved that he could not speak.
The old man calmed down his excitement, and then asked: "My dear benefactor, have you really decided to go to the underground palace? That would be a narrow escape from death."
Mo Di nodded and said: "We have to go. No matter how dangerous some things are, we still have to do it. Old man, it's getting late. Let's let the grassroots lead the way. When he comes back, you will leave immediately."
The old man said: "Okay, okay. My dear benefactor, please wait a little longer."
"Why, old man, do you have anything else to do?"
The old man said: "My dear benefactor, let me show you something else. It may be able to help you a little. Cao Gen, please bring some rice soup."
Mo Di didn't know what he was going to do, so he just waited there.
Cao Gen'er brought half a bowl of rice soup and placed it in front of the old man's bed.
The old man rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin arms. He dipped his hands in some rice soup and smeared it on his arms. He saw a blue light gradually flashing on his arms, getting brighter and brighter, and turned out to be thin lines as dense as a spider web.
.
Mo Di and others were surprised and asked: "Old man, what is this?"
The old man said: "My lord, this is the map of the Qin Mausoleum Road."
"A map of the tomb passage?" Mo Di didn't expect that he had such an important thing.
The old man nodded and said: "Look. Each of these lines is a tomb passage. For safety, many intersecting tomb passages were built at that time, like a maze, just to confuse people entering the tomb passage. Even those of us who build tomb passages
Craftsmen often make mistakes. In order to escape, I secretly drew this map."
Mo Di was overjoyed and said: "Old man, your map is so important."
The old man said: "My dear friend, you have to keep this picture in mind and never make any mistakes, because there are so many roads, only one is the road to life, and the others are all roads to death. Even on this road to life.
, it is also extremely dangerous.”
Mo Di said: "Old man, please tell me, I will remember it accurately." So the old man explained it to Mo Di in detail. These lines not only cross left and right, but are also divided into three layers, upper and lower, which are extremely complicated.
Even with Ling's qualifications, it was very difficult to remember. But the old man could speak clearly and without any mistakes, which Mo Di admired very much.
The old man talked for a full hour before finishing the complicated diagram of the tomb passage. Then Mo Di repeated it again. There were a few places that he remembered vaguely. Mo Di thought about it for a long time before he remembered it.
Another two hours passed.
The old man was also very surprised. It took him three years to draw and memorize this map before he remembered it, but Mo Di memorized it in such a short period of time. Although he was not very familiar with it, there was no mistake at all.
.
The old man said: "My dear benefactor, if you can't help it, just come back. Don't force your way in. You can leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood, but you must not hurt your life."
Mo Di said: "Old man, don't worry, we will be careful."
Everyone said goodbye to the old man and headed straight to Lishan Mountain with Cao Gen'er.
There was no talking along the way, and the four of them arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain in less than an hour. Originally, everyone thought that finding the cave entrance according to the map was a very simple matter, but when they got here, they realized that it was very difficult.
First of all, Lishan Mountain stretches continuously and is much larger than everyone imagined. The map the old man drew based on his impression is not very accurate and it is very difficult to find. Furthermore, over the past few decades, the landforms here have changed.
There have been great changes. Many of the surface features that the old man mentioned are gone, making it more difficult for everyone to find them.
Several people walked along the foot of Lishan Mountain and looked for several suspicious places, but none of them were the entrance. Everyone was a little anxious. Grassroots was even more anxious. Grandpa asked him to take everyone to look for it, but he couldn't find it. He felt very sorry.
Mo Di et al.
Mo Di said: "Everyone, let's take a rest first, and we'll look for you later." Everyone was tired and hungry after working for such a long time, so they all found a place to sit down, took out water and dry food, and started eating.
.
Heizi had nothing to do, so he ran around on the ground and played happily.
Mo Di sat on a clean stone, eating dry food, looking at the map drawn by the old man, comparing the direction of the surrounding mountains, and carefully studying the possible location of the cave entrance.
Suddenly, Heizi screamed and ran quickly. Everyone looked at Heizi, and it turned out that he was chasing a rabbit. The rabbit was chased in a panic and ran around, rushing to the stone where Mo Di was sitting.
Missing from the side.
Heizi rushed over, shouting, and digging up the soil with his claws. When Mo Di saw it, it turned out that there was a small hole next to the stone, and the rabbit got into the hole.
After Heizi dug a few times, a white stick appeared at the entrance of the hole. He took the stick out, threw it aside, and continued digging.
Mo Di saw that the shape of the stick was strange, so he stood up, walked over to check, and found that the stick looked like a bone. He shouted to Zhao Man'er and Princess Yangzi: "Come and see, what is this?"
Zhao Maner and Yang Zi came over to take a look.
Yang Zi looked around and said, "These seem to be human bones."
Zhao Man'er also nodded and said, "It looks like it's a human leg bone."
"Leg bone?" Mo Di seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly asked Heizi to wait aside. He pulled out a dagger and started digging at the entrance of the cave. After a few digs, he dug out another similar bone.
Zhao Man'er was surprised and said: "What's going on?"
Mo Di looked at her, then at Cao Gen'er, and said, "I think this is Grandpa Cao Gen'er's leg bone."
Everyone suddenly realized that Grandpa Caogen'er's leg was broken by a stone when he came out of the cave, so this was the entrance to the tomb passage! Everyone was very happy.
Mo Di opened the hole a lot wider, and sure enough, a dark hole led to the ground. He lay down at the hole and looked inside. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see clearly, but there was a dark wind coming out of it, and he couldn't help but hit it.
Shivered.
Mo Di stood up and said, "Yes, it should be here." His eyes were shining, obviously excited. Zhao Man'er and Yang Zi were also very happy.
Mo Di looked at Princess Yangzi and said, "It's too dangerous for a few of us to enter the tomb passage. How about we tell King Xiang and go in with him?"
Yang Zi thought for a moment and said, "What are you waiting for that thief to do? We'll go there ourselves." She didn't want outsiders to enter her father's tomb at all.
Mo Di also understood her mood and said: "But with the strength of a few of us, can it be done?"
Yang Zi said coldly: "You don't have to go if you are afraid of death. I will go by myself." After saying that, she got into the hole first.
Mo Di looked at Zhao Man'er, both of them were helpless.
Zhao Man'er said: "Master Mo, since we have found the entrance to the cave, let Cao Gen'er go back first."
Mo Di said: "Okay."
Cao Gen'er said: "Brothers and sisters, I want to go with you."
Mo Di said: "Caogener, you are still young, it is very dangerous here. Besides, you still have to take care of grandpa, right?"
Zhao Man'er also said: "Yes, Cao Gen'er, you have to go back quickly and take grandpa out of here. My sister will come find you later."
Cao Gen'er left reluctantly.
Mo Di and Zhao Man'er watched Cao Gen'er go away. Worried about Princess Yangzi's safety, they turned around and got into the cave. (To be continued)
