"Your Excellency?""
Don't move yet, just stand here, I'll go up first."
The two guards were stunned, and they said in unison.Luo Sheng pressed the sliding rope tied to his waist, and the rope suddenly contracted, bringing others up.Zong Xu saw that Luo Sheng had just gone down and came back, "What did you find below?"
”Luo Shengdang even explained in detail the twelve characters carved on the stone wall that he saw on the stone wall, as well as the depression on one of the words that resembled a jade talisman.After hearing this, Zong Xu and Wei Xi couldn't help but glance at each other.Wei Xi instructed Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, go and bring the jade talisman in the wooden box in the tent." ”Xiao Qi nodded hurriedly and went to get it.After she took it, Wei Xi took it, changed hands and handed it to Luo Sheng."
Put the jade talisman on it and see what happens."
Luo Sheng took the wooden box, "Yes, madam." ”Zong Xu was silent for a moment, watching Luo Sheng turn around and go down the cliff again, and suddenly said, "Luo Sheng, I'll go down with you this time." ”"Husband!"
Wei Xi shouted when he heard the voice, and looked at Shang Zongxu, "Be careful." ”"Okay."
Luo Sheng personally tied a sliding rope to Zong Xu this time, and after checking it again and again, he escorted Zong Xu down to the stone pier under the cliff.Shore.Wei Xi took his youngest son's hand and watched Zong Xu disappear in front of him, still irrepressibly a little more nervous.Zong Chengyue covered his mouth and couldn't help but exclaim."
Mother, did Daddy fall into the water?""
I didn't fall into the water, your father, he and Luo Sheng are looking for a way for us to go to the other side of the river," Wei Xi explained to his son seriously, "Let's just wait where we are now." ”Under the cliff.Zong Xu looked at the Xuanwu Luo carved on the stone wall, and the ladder appeared.In the middle of the night, Xiaomen came out with twelve big characters, and his eyes finally fell on the mouth of the falling word, "Jade Fu." ”Luo Sheng hurriedly took out the wooden box of the jade talisman, opened it and took out the contents and handed it over.Zong Xu took the jade talisman over, then the firelight next to him looked at the lines on both sides of the jade talisman, and finally put the side engraved with the water pattern inward, and put the jade talisman in.At the moment when the lines were just on the depression in the stone wall, the four people standing on the stone pier clearly heard a click of the machine being activated.Wei Xi stood on the ground and swayed his steps, and Xiao Qi slammed in front of her and Zong Chengyue.Fortunately, the ground only shook, Wei Xi stretched out his hand from Xiao Qi, and was about to take a few steps forward to see what was going on, when the ground in front of them suddenly clicked continuously, and the ground sank without warning, and finally formed a downward staircase.Wei Xi took his youngest son's hand and walked to the stairs, and saw Zong Xu and Luo Sheng standing at the end of the stairs, and also saw that the stone piers behind them, which were still chaotic, were being rearranged into a long passage that was easier to walk, and two chains also rose from the water and hung on both sides of the long bridge of stone piers.It was a bridge that rose from under the water.Wei Xi led Zong Chengyue down the stone steps, and reached out at the end to take Zong Xu's outstretched hand."
Is this going to pass?"
Zong Xu looked back at the chains of the stone bridge on the water in front of him, "Xiaomen out, this bridge should disappear at dawn tomorrow, so we can only take advantage of this time to pass." ”Wei Xi squeezed his youngest son's hand, "Yue'er, Daddy and Mother are going to the other side of the bridge, if you feel sleepy, let your little Aunt Qi carry you back to sleep, okay?"
”Zong Chengyue, who has always been unable to move thunder, lay down to rest when he arrived, but this time he shook his head, "I'll go with my mother and father." ”Zong Xu put Wei Xi's hand on the other side, walked to the other side and took his youngest son's other hand, "Then let's go, if you are tired, just say." ”Zong Chengyue looked at his father and mother holding him left and right, and nodded obediently.Leaving one-third of the guards to guard the tent carriage, the remaining twelve held torches to open the way, Zong Xu and Wei Xi led their youngest son to walk behind, Xiao Qi and Luo Sheng followed closely at all times, and there were twelve guards behind them.A group of twenty-nine people stepped onto the stone bridge in front of them.After the soles of her feet touched the stone bridge, Wei Xi felt that the stone pier was not as slippery as she originally thought, but the stone pier was densely packed with uneven small protrusions, and the material of the stone was like gravel and was strongly bonded together by some black substance.Not only is it sturdy, but it's not slippery at all.Holding the chains that dry out of the water on both sides, it is safe to walk on them as long as you don't look at the river below.But this stone pier bridge is not ordinarily long.Zong Chengyue couldn't resist his sleepy insect in the end, and after walking for nearly two incense sticks, his little head grew little by little.Luo Sheng picked him up with one hand.After walking for more than an hour, everyone saw the other side of the river, which was also dark and smooth as a mirror.At the end of the pier bridge, there is also a stone staircase that goes up.Zong Xu stood in front of the stone steps, but his footsteps couldn't help but pause.Wei Xi also stopped, looked at Zong Xu, who was rarely a little homesick on his side, and pointed to the moon hanging in the sky, "Husband, we don't have much time." ”"Let's go."
Stepping on the ground, everyone, without exception, looked towards the tallest building in their sight.It was a high platform, built in the shape of a lotus, and at the top of the high platform, it seemed to be dotted with a lot of blue stones from a distance, reflecting the blue light in the moonlight."
Go to Gaotaina, that should be the center of the Tianhe Water Department."
They were still some distance away from the high platform, and after walking a distance, they saw that outside the lotus platform, there was also a clean path, and there were houses of various random shapes built beside the path.After another distance on the trail, everyone sensed that something was wrong.The houses on both sides of the road are very clean, and it doesn't look like no one has been cleaning them, but with so many people passing by, why is there no movement in any of the houses?
Zong Xu took Wei Xi's hand tightly, and led everyone to stop in front of a house that was built larger than the ones he had passed before, and he glanced at Luo Sheng again.Luo Sheng comprehended, carefully handed over the little highness he was carrying on his back to Xiao Qi to hold, walked to the door of the house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.He asked himself that he was not making much effort, but that the door seemed to be very sturdy, but in fact it was hidden, and before he could knock a second time, the door creaked softly and opened inside.The moonlight shone into the house through the open door, and the scene of the house appeared to everyone who walked to the door.
