Chapter 145

Shan Jin couldn't help but be stunned. The underground was originally chaotic and black, but why was it bright and infinitely bright.

Look at the light, not sunlight, moonlight, starlight; not lights, candlelight, firelight. Instead, it bursts out from the stone wall above the head around you, undawning eyes, like the warm sun, reflecting the universe without seeing the sun, like the world.

The white-headed man smiled and said, "Boy, are you stunned?"

Shan Jin calmed down and replied calmly: "I'm thinking, in this way, how can I distinguish the four seasons of day and night? When will I get up and lie down? Where will the wind come out, and where will the clouds and rain gather?"

The white-headed old man said, "You are still an ordinary person's thought. How can this country be compared to the ground? You are even more stunned in the back." After that, he jumped and jumped straight into the bottomless abyss.

Shan Jin was never afraid of light skills, but in this strange place, he was mostly careful, so he was less miserable. After thinking about it, he still took out the Ruyi rope, hooked the mountain wall, and flew down. However, he saw that the surrounding mountain walls and below were houses, trees, fields, and fences. The drooping children jumped and played in the clouds and mist. A few idle people gathered to have a chat and savor tea in front of the door and behind the house.

The clouds and mist are swelling, holding the body, floating freely without internal force. Shan Jin is in a daze and cannot help but think about it—

Is this place in heaven or underground?

The long laughter of the white-headed old man came from outside the clouds: "Boy, are you stunned again? You only saw the sharpness of the first floor on the 18th floor of the Huangquan Kingdom."

Wang Yanlanjue, Zhang Ping and others continued to walk forward while checking the stone chamber. A fork in front of them was divided into two door holes on the left and right.

The door hole on the right, like the two door holes outside, blocks the fence and blocks the stones, and the inside is pitch black. The green pattern extends into the left door.

Wang Yan said: "This fence can only block the child. I think the woman is afraid that the child will take the wrong path. These pictures are signposts, so let's follow it first." He ordered the followers to ask others to search for other paths.

Turning around the door, it was the same as before, with a long passage and a stone chamber. The passage was not straight and slightly curved. Wang Yan said again: "This arrangement is a bit like the examination room of the examination institute. Peizhi seems to be friendly."

Lan Jue said: "But the test questions here are not on the paper, so I, a student who has been involved in the field, cannot solve the problem."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Peizhi is the master who reminds us, how can he be so humble?"

Lan Jue said: "Master Wang is so humble. If you are so proud, you can't stand in front of all the gods."

Everyone laughed, and the cold atmosphere became much warmer. One of the guards who were looking at the stone chamber and searching for other paths came hurriedly.

"Sir, some places in this underground palace have collapsed. Hu Jie and others have found several strange places."

Wang Yan was excited: "Lead the way."

The hole is in the corridor leading to another door that was blocked just now at the fork.

The guard who led the way reported as he walked: "... Bei Zhi felt that the two of them were a little slow to check forward together, so he took the initiative and explored the way forward first. Liu Er checked the stone room behind him. As a result, as Bei Zhi walked, his feet were different."

The guard named Liu Er greeted him in front of a stone chamber door. Wang Yan nodded briefly and ordered a accompanying guard to stay with him, while the rest continued to walk forward.

A turn appeared in front of him, and the guard reminded him again: "Be careful, sir, the ground is not flat."

The top of the turn was slightly tilted, and cracks appeared on the walls on the ground, and the more they went forward, the more they were.

The guards led the way to trot to a certain place and stopped: "Sir, please look here."

This place is also a doorway, but it is neither a corridor nor a stone chamber, but a staircase extending downward.

But the stone staircase could only go down a few steps. The top and wall in front collapsed, and a pile of rocks were piled up. Lan Jue walked to the edge of the staircase, and Wang Yan immediately said, "Peach, be careful, the bottom of the staircase is empty." But he went down two steps and looked around.

"If there is another layer below, this underground palace can really contain a lot of people. It is because the space is dug too deep that it will be shaken by the earth."

Zhang Ping said: "The lower official feels that there is more than one layer below."

The underground palace underground has two floors, but it is not damaged at all. The construction there is fine, much better than here, and it is on the edge. It will definitely reduce a lot of damage when it encounters earthquakes, but the difference is so big, it must be due to the gap in the number of layers.

Wang Yan nodded slightly: "Let's confirm it after clearing out here." He called another follower, "There are most likely collapses here, there are cracks on the ground, and the bottom is empty. I don't know how deep it is. Those who go to explore other places first should be careful. You must find out the way. No one can hurt anyone."

The followers received the order and ran away, and the remaining guards and the yamen runners transferred from the county yard were all moved.

Lan Jue looked at Zhang Ping. Wang Yan had always been simple and quick in his work. In fact, most of the people here and those who were about to be transferred here are staffed by the county government. The county government should have to do the subsequent digging of this underground palace. Originally, Wang Yan was asked to inform Zhang Ping that Zhang Ping would coordinate the dispatch. Now, in this way, it was Wang Yan who abused power and Zhang Ping was dereliction of duty.

The actions of the guards leading the way are not in accordance with the rules. According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, more than two people must supervise each other to prevent omissions and fraud. Anyone who walks alone without permission must review the results of investigation or dispose of them.

If Feng Tai was here, the guards leading the way and his partner would definitely be severely blamed. If there was still a Censorate, Wang Yan and Zhang Ping would have to be bounced even more.

Wang Yan has a reckless capital, but Zhang Ping must understand how to be a county magistrate earlier.

After roughly checking here, the guards led the way with a lantern and guided the way: "Sir, there is another place that is even more inconsistent here."

Everyone followed him out of the door again and turned around. Wang Yan asked everyone to line up in a vertical row, a little distance apart, and walked slowly forward slowly. The ground became more and more uneven and the stone wall was crooked. After walking for a short time, the rocks in front were blocking horizontally, and it was no longer feasible.

The guards leading the way stopped in front of the blocked place, and everyone's eyes were fixed there.

There was a pile of soil on the ground, with slags and stones in it, and a hole was on the top of the collapsed place.

"There is no more people in the hole, and someone can drill down in the hole. Bei Zhi feels that someone has entered here through this hole."

Wang Yan walked under the cave and looked up, then picked up a pinch of soil. The stones and slags inside must not be objects from the underground palace.

"Yes, there are other uninvited guests in this underground palace."

The outer wall of the underground palace is hard and difficult to dig through. The person who digs the holes uses the collapsed gap to dig the holes.

Then this hole only exists after the earth moves.

"The location of this cave corresponds to the ground. After the woman in the sarcophagus died, the criminals and others would inevitably monitor others' every move. Digging the hole was laborious and dynamic, and it was not done by Yao Cunshan, who took the child away."

Zhang Ping nodded.

Yao Cunshan knew about the child and also knew where the door was, so there was no need to dig holes.

"Xiaguan thinks that this cave was dug after the Pu girl was killed and Yao Cunshan took the child away."

The woman lives here with her children. If the hole was dug before, she should have cleared the soil and blocked the holes to prevent anyone from coming in again.

"Looking at the traces of this cave, I used more than one tool. The adults have just said that the location of this cave is in Cishou Village. The hole is very disturbing. The criminal has been paying attention to the movements in the village. Therefore, the criminal has dug this hole himself."

Wumei blurted out in surprise: "The criminal has also been here?"

Wang Yan's pupils shrank: "Yes, no wonder the doors of those houses are mostly open. No wonder these people later learned that Pu's girls have children and also know the approximate age of the children."

Zhang Ping nodded again: "So, the spiritual boy who served Cishou's grandmother is six years old for the first time, and the second time is nine years old."

Lan Jue was slightly stunned: "The fact that Grandma Cishou chose the spiritual child was actually the case of the criminal searching for the Pu girl's child in this name?"

Zhang Ping and Wang Yan stared at him solemnly, and nodded slowly.

At this moment, a ball of light came from the corridor. The guards on the side immediately stopped him from running. The guards who were running lowered the lantern and knelt down on the spot.

"Keep the master, Bei Zhiren found a suspicious trace on the top of the collapsed place there. Bei Zhiren boldly speculated that it might be a sealed hole."
