Shi Xuedong vomited all the bile out, and said while wiping his mouth: "I'm afraid, you throw that thing away." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Has anyone been missing from the Siyuan Bureau recently?"
Shi Xuedong remembered something after he asked, nodded and said: "Yes, Xiao Dengzi, he left a letter before January, and it is said that he can't stand the hardships in the palace. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Look at it, is this Xiao Dengzi?"
Shi Xuedong looked at Hu Xiaotian with a sad face, except for that finger, the corpse had all turned into a puddle of water, where could he identify who the deceased was Hu Xiaotian also knew that he didn't have this ability, so he threw the only remaining finger into the pool of yellow water, and it didn't take long for him to be clean.
Shi Xuedong saw the scene in front of him, although he still wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are a few keys in the medicine depot of this Siyuan Bureau."
Historiography said: "The key is still from your hand, only this one, and it has never changed."
He paused, thinking that Hu Xiaotian was doubting himself, and hurriedly confessed: "I swear, I have nothing to do with the things here." ” Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered in his heart, Shi Xuedong has never done it, he has not done it, the door outside is locked, is there any other passage in this medicine depot to enter the puddle of yellow water looking at the ground, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but fall into contemplation, according to Shi Xuedong, this dead person is likely to be Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Dengzi is also an old man in the Siyuan Bureau, why did he come here, did he secretly dispense the key to the medicine store Shi Xuedong also thought of this, he shook his head and said: "I have always carried the key to the Siyuan Bureau with me, and I have never left it. ” Hu Xiaotian suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice: "You put out the lights" "What" Shi Xuedong was originally scared enough, but now when he heard that Hu Xiaotian was going to let him put out the lights, he couldn't help but be even more scared, and said in a trembling voice: "Let's go, it's too gloomy here."
Hu Xiaotian said undoubtedly: "Do as I say" Shi Xuedong had no choice but to blow out the lantern and approached Hu Xiaotian's side, for fear of being left behind by him.
The entire medicine warehouse fell into darkness, Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked around, and soon he found that there was a faint blue light flickering not far from the severed finger, just now because his eyesight was disturbed by the light, so he ignored this detail, the blue light was very weak, not even as good as the light of fireflies, and only Hu Xiaotian's super strong eyesight could be found.
Removing the wooden frame, Hu Xiaotian carefully picked up the glowing thing, but it was a blue gem the size of a mung bean.
Shi Xuedong was so frightened that his teeth trembled, he had been in charge of the Siyuan Bureau for so many years, and he had never found any treasures.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xiao Deng Zi should have found something, he wanted to leave with the treasure, but he didn't expect to meet an uninvited guest, and the other party killed him" Hu Xiaotian found a gem by the faint light.
He carefully searched the place where the gem was found, and finally found a jade wrench under a row of wooden frames, Shi Xuedong immediately judged the identity of Xiao Dengzi from it, and said in a low voice: "That's right, the deceased is Xiao Dengzi, and this jade wrench is given to him by me." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, stretched out his finger and knocked on the floor tiles below, making an empty sound, he motioned to Shi Xuedong to re-light the lantern, and then pry open the floor tiles, after priing open the four connected floor tiles, he found that a messy relief appeared below, but it was a graphic lock, Hu Xiaotian shook his head, he didn't have the ability to unlock the graphic lock, the relief should be a dragon pattern, and the scale armor above was inlaid with small blue gems one by one, presumably Xiao Dengzi inadvertently discovered this place, he didn't have the ability to open the graphic lock, So he cut off the gems on them one by one, and wanted to escape with the treasures, but unexpectedly attracted the disaster of killing.
Shi Xuedong said in a trembling voice: "What's down here?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head, how did he know and whispered to Shi Xuedong: "Let's get out of here first, you must not reveal this matter to anyone." ” Shi Xuedong nodded again and again, took off the key to the medicine depot and handed it to Hu Xiaotian: "The keys are all for you, I don't dare to come if I kill me." ” Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed at this cowardly, thinking about it, the only one who has the ability to unlock this pattern lock is Qiqi, and he said in a low voice: "You go to Zilan Palace now, invite Her Royal Highness the princess, and say that I am drunk." ” Shi Xuedong said: "What if she refuses to come?"
Hu Xiaotian hooked his finger at him, whispered something in his ear, Shi Xuedong opened his mouth wide in astonishment and said, "This is okay" Hu Xiaotian said: "You just have to go, I will take care of everything." ” Qiqi really came to the appointment, when she came to the Siyuan Bureau, Hu Xiaotian was sitting and drinking tea under the grape trellis, and couldn't help glaring at Shi Xuedong and said: "Shi Xuedong, didn't you say that he drank too much?"
Shi Xuedong shook his head like a rattle: "It's okay, it was the prince who asked me to say this." ” Hu Xiaoangel looked, and Shi Xuedong fled in a hurry.
Qiqi sat down opposite Hu Xiaotian in a huff, and snorted coldly: "You are really getting bolder and bigger, and you actually picked up a eunuch to deceive me." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's fake to be drunk, but it's true to shout everywhere that I like you, if you don't believe it, I'll call it a few times in front of you."
Qiqi glared at him and said, "I'm afraid of you, you don't have a face, I still care about face, why are you still in the palace?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just remembered some of the things we did back then, do you remember what happened in the wine cellar of the Siyuan Bureau?"
Qiqi bit her lip, her pretty face was slightly hot, she naturally remembered.
Could it be that this guy invited himself here so late just to spend time with him, to fall in love with him, or did he know that Long Xiyue was going to come to Kangdu to meet him, and he was worried that he would be unfavorable to Long Xiyue, so he launched an emotional offensive to confuse himself Hu Xiaotian said: "It turns out that this Siyuan Bureau really has a big article, in addition to the wine cellar, there is also a place where secrets are hidden. ” Only then did Qiqi know the main purpose of his invitation, and said in a low voice: "Where" Hu Xiaotian dismissed everyone, entered the medicine warehouse with Qiqi, and took her to the place where the pattern lock had just been discovered. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Can you unravel it?"
Qiqi didn't speak, his hands had already begun to rearrange the pattern, a cup of tea, the original messy pattern has been rearranged into a pattern of Shuanglong going to sea, and the part of the figure made a creaking sound, slowly sinking downward, revealing a black hole.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Qiqi: "It's better for me to go down alone" Qiqi said: "You and I will be afraid to go together." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, and used the torch he brought to illuminate the bottom, this hole is not too deep, he jumped down first, sure that the air inside can provide normal breathing, then beckoned to Qiqi, Qiqi jumped, Hu Xiaotian caught her delicate body with one arm, Qiqi's pretty face was hot, this guy was suspected of taking the opportunity to rub oil, such a height, she was not a problem, she broke free from Hu Xiaotian's arm, and whispered: "What the hell is this place?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be Liu Yuzhang who first discovered this place, and he knows all about these things in the palace."
I secretly admired Liu Yuzhang in my heart, this old eunuch was too deeply hidden, and I never thought that he would have such unfathomable scheming.
The two of them walked along the underground passage for half a mile, and a stone door appeared in front of them, and there were still graphic locks on the door, which were not obstacles at all for Qiqi, and they could easily be unlocked.
Two stone gates slowly move to both sides, the front suddenly opens, a stone bridge across the underground river, the river is turbulent, the riverbed is more than ten zhang below the bridge deck, but there is a pagoda at the end of the stone bridge, the light on the pagoda flickered, it was inlaid with night pearls, Qiqi looked at the scene ahead in a daze, and after a long time he muttered: "Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, it turns out that the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda has always been hidden here." ” Hu Xiaotian was shocked, he had also heard the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, it is said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda contained another skull of the Mandate of Heaven, but later the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda fell, and the Yilan Palace was built on the original site, that is, the palace where Long Xuanjiao, the Empress Dowager of Tianxiang Kingdom, lived before marriage, as for the skull, it was later discovered by Long Xuanjiao and secretly taken to Tianxiang Kingdom.
However, Qiqi has never seen the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, why would she think that this tower is the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Qiqi didn't explain to Hu Xiaotian, she walked towards the stone bridge, Hu Xiaotian followed, Qiqi told him: "Pay attention to the pattern of the bridge deck, follow my footsteps, don't take a wrong step, otherwise the bridge deck will collapse." ” Hu Xiaotian sighed: "Who built this underground project?"
Qiqi said: "It should be the soldier saint Zhuge Yunchun, I think he must have understood something from the Mandate of Heaven."
With her leading, the two soon came to the front of the Qibao Glazed Tower, Qiqi did not rush into the tower, but first circled around the tower, returned to the front of the tower door, and raised his eyebrows: "I have never seen this lock, I don't know how to crack it." ” Hu Xiaotian was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't expect them to come to the outside of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda but they were not allowed to enter.
But after thinking about it, even if you go in, there is no point, after all, the skull stored in it has been stolen by Hu Buwei and Long Xuanjiao, but what method did the two of them use to steal the skull Long Xuanjiao should not have that ability, could it be that Hu Buwei can crack the mechanism and enter it, it seems that there is no such possibility.
Qiqi stared at this Qibao glazed pagoda for a long time, but still sighed and said: "Forget it, if you make a mistake, this place will collapse completely, and you and I will be buried here." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's better to die than to live, although I have no objection to sleeping in the same cave with you, but it is a pity to think that we have never shared a bed yet."
