Chapter 131? Fatal Injury
Bai Yao shook her head: "No, he is my fellow countryman."
"One of the seven people has died, and six are still there." Xie Qi said: "Looking at his appearance, he escaped from the water. The scratches on his back are thicker than ordinary people's fingerprints. Maybe it was made by the owner of the square hoof print."
Most of his body was lying in the water, and only his upper body was barely on the shore. He was only one step away from escaping from birth. In the end, he was still powerless. Seeing that his eyes were wide open, Xie Qi was so-called death with no eyes closed. He reached out to smooth his eyes for him. Suddenly he felt his eyelids trembling, and immediately retracted his hand: "I'm not dead yet."
Kong Lingzheng touched his breath, listened to his heart, and shook his head: "It's no longer helpful."
Xie Qi stroked his chest and said, "Maybe I had an illusion."
He pulled the man's body back to the ground and saw that his feet were bare, his shoes had fallen off, and there were signs of gnawing in his heart. The fine wounds were in two straight lines, with one on one side. Kong Lingzheng looked at the wounds on his back and feet and couldn't help but say: "The fatal injury is in the soles of his feet. The soles of his feet are black and swollen. This is a sign of poisoning."
Yang Yanqing said: "There are poisonous insects at the bottom of the water, be careful."
Pull the man's body aside and put it up, and everyone continued to wander down. No other body was found along the way, but there was a blurry shadow of a building. Looking from a distance, it was magnificent, but it could be seen that it was large in scale and solemn, and Yang Yanqing said: "This is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural style."
"The architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. Brother, I'm confused. Isn't this an underground royal city built by the King of Nanzhao?" Qi Shi asked.
Kong Lingzheng said: "The most famous Yuncheng king Piluo Pavilion in Yuncheng is the king of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom. Nanzhao only existed for 165 years in history. Nanzhao dared to confront and even form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty at that time. In such a country, the dungeon built by the Tang Dynasty was actually based on the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this a contradiction?"
"Yuncheng was called the Southwest Barbarian Kingdom in ancient times, and its culture was completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth. How could he know about the Feng Shui pattern of using jade belts and waists?" Yang Yanqing said: "I have also heard of Nanzhao Kingdom. I believe in ghosts and witches. If this is the case, it is not surprising to interact with the strange scholars of the Tang Dynasty."
Kong Lingzheng was speechless for a moment. Last time, several old people in Yuncheng once said that the construction of the dungeon was inseparable from the ghost witches. It is said that the Pilo Pavilion built a dungeon here to store weapons and food, but there was no way to do it with human power. In the end, it was done with witchcraft. The dungeon of Yuncheng was actually built by wooden people.
Kong Lingzheng conveyed these words to everyone, and Yang Yanqing couldn't help but think of something: "It is not without basis to let the wooden man move."
"A man surnamed Yang, are you crazy?" Kong Lingzheng said disdainfully: "Those are wood, without blood, without meat, how can they move?"
"Master Luban once saw all kinds of birds flying freely in the sky, so he used bamboo and wood to turn into flying harriers and used the wind to test the flight in the air. The time for the start was short, and after repeated research and continuous improvement, he could fly in the air for a long time, so it is not impossible to make the wood move like a creature." Yang Yanqing said: "It can be technology or the legendary power of ghost witches."
Kong Ling still had some disdain between his eyebrows, and Xie Qida smoothed out: "We are now trying to find the captain who knows the password. Don't be too slow here, it's important to find someone."
Qi Shi interrupted, "If you die, you may be in the river. If you are alive, you may be fleeing into the city."
The river is outside the city. If you want to enter the city, you must cross this river. If the river is a semicircle, there must be a passage in the middle. If it is a whole circle, there must be a bridge. At that moment, a group of people accelerated their journey and looked for a passage to cross the river. Bai Yao seemed delicate, but his movements were very fast. Adjutant Fang joked: "Sixth concubine, no, Bai Yao, you are very good at it."
"I have not received professional training." Bai Yao said: "It depends on instinct."
The river flows from the top to the bottom, and the water slowly slows down. There is still no passage or bridge that can be passed through the river along the way. However, the dungeon is getting closer and closer, and you can see clearly. There is a small small city across the river, and you can clearly see the fortification walls on the periphery, which are military walls used to resist foreign invasions.
Yang Yanqing's eyes moved down and saw several paths leading to the city wall. These paths were lower than the ground and extended directly to the river. There were four paths with eyes, and the walls were four directions. If there were four such paths in all directions, there were a total of sixteen. Yang Yanqing's heart moved. Is this layout of the layout meaningful?
"Brother, this river has been walking for most of the day. It seems like a whole circle, and I haven't seen the bridge. Let's find a way to go." Qi Shi said: "Time doesn't wait for anyone. The lives and deaths of those soldiers are uncertain after they come in. If you find them earlier, you will get the password sooner."
Yang Yanqing said: "Since that's the case, go to a shallow place."
Adjutant Hong and Kong Lingzheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Didn't you say it earlier?"
Yang Yanqing said lightly: "It's not too late to say it now."
"Want to plot?"
"How come the arsenal has a key, silk, you, something is wrong with you."
"The point is Adjutant Fang." Xie Yi walked over and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. The third concubine is Wei Shijie's pillow, so he will notice some details. Boss Yang asked us to interrogate the third concubine. Wei Shijie handed it to Master Kong. Both sides worked together. Whether it was the fortune record or the dungeon, I had to pay some things out. Seventh sister and third sister, this matter would be left to you."
