Sparrow said: "Let's look for it separately, and see if there is an entrance."

Several people looked at the blind man. Although there were four of them, the other three were not as good as the blind man's eyesight. The blind man was attracted by the opposite wall at this time. Objects like chandeliers were hung on the wall, all of which were hollowed out by cast iron, and there were pipes connected to each other. At the beginning, there was an oak barrel with an English word hisky printed on the oak barrel. The blind man recognized that the word was whiskey, which he learned from Arnold.

Arnold heard that the barrel was filled with whiskey, so he took out his pistol and aimed at the oak barrel and shot it. His idea was very simple. He wanted to punch a hole in the barrel and the whiskey inside would flow out. He could just eat it and drink it.

It was too late for the sparrow to stop him. With a shot, the bullet hit the oak barrel accurately. Unexpectedly, the oak barrel was filled with gunpowder and a sound of gunpowder exploded. For a moment, smoke filled the gunpowder. Several people hurriedly fell to the ground. Fortunately, the barrel of gunpowder was far away from them. Although the explosion made a loud noise, it did not cause any harm to them.

The blind man was so angry that he scolded Arnold. Arnold knew that he was in the wrong and dared not talk back. However, he cursed the person who thought of writing whiskey on the powder keg thousands of times.

After the gunpowder exploded, the flames quickly spread along the pipes, and cast iron hollow carved chandeliers hanging from the walls were lit, illuminating the dark underground world. Only then did they realize that there was a reason for the predecessors to put the powder barrel there, which was used to ignite the introduction of the underground lighting system.

Under the flames, golden reflections appeared on many places on the walls. The lines of handwriting were like dragons and snakes, phoenixes floated around the phoenix. The blind man didn't know much about this kind of crazy cursive script. Now he became blind and Arnold couldn't even tell which country the text was in front of him. There were also dark holes on the walls around him. The holes were generally about one meter in diameter, and there were obvious traces of smoke and fire around the holes. These holes were probably the alchemy room that used to refine alchemy.

After reading a few sentences, Luo Lie found that this was an article by Emperor Qianlong’s memory of his father. Judging from the content, there was no sadness in it, but it was full of blessings and hope. The content did not involve the cause of Yongzheng’s death. The whole article did not even mention the word death, but said that Emperor Yongzheng became a Buddha and ascended to the immortal.

The sparrow said: "It seems that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty still has some fate with Buddha." Emperor Shunzhi was rumored to become a monk in Mount Wutai and passed the throne to Kangxi. Kangxi's reign was the highest among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. According to the article, his son Yongzheng became a Buddha. Two generations of grandparents, one became a monk and the other became a Buddha. Is it already destined in the dark?

The blind man said, "Didn't Yongzheng be assassinated by Lu Siniang in the end? I heard that his head was not left, and he would ascense as a fairy or become a Buddha standing on the ground. I'm afraid Emperor Qianlong deliberately whitewashed the peace and used it to cover up the truth."

The sparrow smiled and said, "What you said is just rumors in the world. The Qing Palace archives can never be found. Emperor Yongzheng is tough and decisive in his work, so he naturally has countless enemies. His opponent thinks he will die well. It is not surprising that there are such rumors."

Luo Lie said: "We are not here to find out the cause of Emperor Yongzheng's death."

Arnold nodded repeatedly: "This is probably what Ye Qinghong said, isn't it?"

Luo Lie walked towards the edge of the platform and found that there was about seven meters away from the edge to the opposite side. There was a trench in the middle, which was about ten meters deep. In the past, there should be water in the trench, but now it has dried up and the bottom is completely exposed. There can be a lot of bones in the riverbed. It should be the person who fell into the trench and was drowned. Among them, there were several animal bones, with head and tail lengths exceeding six meters. From the appearance, it belonged to a reptile category. Luo Lie judged that it should be a crocodile and a larger Siamese crocodile.

The blind man insisted that it was a dragon. After all, this guy is not as knowledgeable as Luo Lie. He has never seen a crocodile when he grows up so old.

Arnold found a fixing point and tied the rope. Several people slipped along the rope to the bottom of the riverbed. The entire riverbed was made of huge granite. The blind man immediately came to the bones of the animal and touched its head. Seeing its sharp teeth with long kisses, he said in amazement: "This dragon must be quite fierce when he is alive."

The sparrow said: "It seems that it should be a Siamese crocodile." Everything she saw in front of her made her outline the picture of that year in her mind. At that time, the statue of Emperor Yongzheng had already stood up, and there were dan rooms all around the statue. Taoists added various materials to the alchemy room to refine alchemy through unique devices and equipment. The periphery of these alchemy rooms may be just a rough processing process. After the first step of screening and purification, the selected materials can be sent into the next processing process.

This trench was rippling with blue waves, and ferocious Siamese crocodiles were raised in the trench. This inland river surrounding the statue seemed calm, but in fact it was a dangerous place to take the lead. If someone wanted to enter the statue, he had to cross the river first. The bones in the riverbed were all those who fell down or ventured to cross the river, and without exception, they became the dessert for Siamese crocodiles.

However, the ferocious Siamese crocodiles could not escape the fate of death. Time flies, the stars change, food is cut off, the rivers dry up, and dozens of Siamese crocodiles that lived in the inland river in the past also turned into a pile of dead bones.

The sparrow was a little curious and said, "How could Siamese crocodile survive here?" After all, this is Peking, and the weather here is not suitable for Siamese crocodile survival.

Luo Lie said: "Someone should have transported them here. This is probably the secret place where Yongzheng refines alchemy in the past. If so many furnaces and cauldrons are refined at the same time, the temperature inside will definitely be very high. I think this river not only serves as an isolation and protection, but can also cool down through the water flow."

The sparrow nodded, and the hot air was discharged into the water, and the water temperature would rise as a result. Siamese crocodiles survived in such an environment. Judging from the huge amount of bones below, they were by no means the first entrants.

The four people were divided into two groups, and they circled from left to right along the dry river channel, Luo Lie and Sparrow, and the blind and Arnold. In addition to the bones of the dead, the most were weapons and tools in the riverbed, including flying grabs for climbing. Because it took too long, the rope had rotted into ashes, but the steel part was still the same.

Luo Lie selected some tools that are still available from it and inferred that many of these people who fell into the river were thieves.

The blind man and Arnold also discovered that the blind man picked up a Feng Shui compass. The compass was made of gold, and the parts inside were inlaid with several gems. The blind man had never seen such a luxurious compass. He picked it up and wiped the dust with his sleeves. He found that the compass was still functioning normally. He really couldn't let it go.

Arnold untied a string of gold necklaces from the neck of a bone, and then rushed to strode the gold ring on his hand. The blind man blinked his eyes, put the golden compass in his arms, and hurried to pick up the treasures. There were many lost treasures in the riverbed, and the two of them rushed to join in, fearing that they would be picked up by each other one step later.

Luo Lie and Maque naturally saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry along the way, but they were not as greedy as those two living treasures. They were more concerned about the secret entrance and did not stop too much in the river. The two soon walked around the back of the base platform and saw two stone doors.

There was no device for opening the door around the stone gate. When the sparrow was looking for the door opening mechanism, Luo Lie heard the quarrel between the blind man and Arnold in the distance, but the two guys were fighting for property. Luo Lie had no choice but to walk over and saw the two men holding a scepter and fighting hard.

Luo Lie stepped forward and asked the scepter over. Although the blind man and Arnold were dissatisfied with each other, they bought it very much and honestly taught him the scepter. The scepter was made of platinum, and the body was surrounded by two snakes. The top was inlaid with dozens of purple gems. The eyes of the two snakes were also inlaid with rubies. However, the top of the scepter was a depressed pit. Luo Lie judged based on experience that a huge gem should have been inlaid here in the past, but it was no longer visible and it was likely to have been stolen.

The blind man and Arnold also had the same idea as Luo Lie. The most precious part of the scepter was gone. The two of them lowered their heads and searched for possible gems in the pile of bones. Luo Lie said: "No matter how good the baby is, it is not as important as life. We don't know whether we can go out from here. You two are fighting here, and you have forgotten the friendship of life and death in the past?"

The blind man and Arnold were so embarrassed that their faces flushed when Luo Lie said this. Thinking of what he did just now, he was really obsessed with it. Luo Lie was right. The most important thing in front of them was to go out here first, otherwise even if there were precious treasures in front of them, they would have no life to take them out.

The two followed Luo Lie back to the sparrow. The sparrow did not find the mechanism that could activate the stone gate and shook his head at Luo Lie.

Luo Liedao: "Is there any way to leave on the map just now?"

The sparrow shook his head and said, "There is no mark on the map at all."

The few people were stunned. If things were troublesome as Sparrow said, it would mean that relying on the guidance of the map, it would be impossible to get out of here at all.

The sparrow said: "The two copper gates we passed by are marked on the map, but the statues are not marked on the map. Everything here is completely different from the map, and there is no underground palace at all."

The blind man and Arnold looked at each other, and neither of them could hide the panic on their faces. They had worked hard all the way here. Now even if they wanted to go back the same way, they had little hope. Not to mention the two copper doors that they could not open, even if they could open the copper door, the water outside would probably have flooded the passage. Once the copper door was opened, the water would flood here.

The blind man said, "Sparrow, think about it again, maybe the map has marked the exit passage."
