Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 239

Wu Chen walked in the front holding a torch, followed by Li Heng and Xing Yun.

Wu Chen suddenly felt that the emperor was interesting. That night he was asked to take the female ghost and the ashes of the female ghost to the riverside. The number of people who went down the tunnel today happened to be enough for the number of people who diverged from each other. In the end, only three of them were left on the road. indivual.

Li Heng knows everything here.

Wu Chen really wanted to turn around and ask Li Heng, did Li Heng think of Longgu Mountain after knowing what happened on Laojie Mountain?Even if Wu Chen failed to deduce that the eight apprentices had betrayed Su Chang, making Su Chang speak out about Longgu Mountain in anger, would Li Heng order someone to investigate Longgu Mountain?
Wu Chen thought about it, but his eyes didn't stop observing the walls on both sides of the tunnel, and he would look down at his feet from time to time. Suddenly, he stopped.

The tunnel is very quiet. This kind of closed and dark environment can easily cause panic, especially when Wu Chen keeps his mouth shut.

Wu Chen wanted to wait for Li Heng to ask, but after waiting for a while, Li Heng didn't say anything, so Wu Chen could only ask, "Did your Majesty notice that we've walked for so long and didn't feel hypoxia, no, suffocation, or not panting?" I can’t breathe, but along the way, except for the fork, I didn’t see any ventilation holes.”

Li Heng still didn't say anything.

Wu Chen held the torch and turned his head. For a moment, Wu Chen was a little scared. He was afraid that when he turned around, Li Heng would turn into Li Gui.

Fortunately, the government is still the government.

Li Heng pointed to the top of his head and said, "It's not difficult to get ventilation, you just look at the sides and feet, you don't have time to look up."

Wu Chen nodded, but still didn't move. Holding the torch, he carefully looked at the walls on both sides.

Li Heng asked in bewilderment, "Why did you stop here to take a closer look?"

"Because I stopped, His Majesty did not ask."

Li Heng frowned.

Wu Chen didn't find anything, he continued to walk forward holding the torch, and soon saw a wooden door.

Wu Chen turned his head to signal Xing Yun to take Li Heng back, and then pressed the wooden door with one hand and pushed it hard. The wooden door collapsed, dust hit his face, and even the torch in his hand flickered, as if it would go out at any time.

Wu Chen stretched out his hand to protect the torch vigilantly, and waited for the dust to settle a little before he said, "Your Majesty is waiting here, I'll go in and have a look..."

Before Wu Chen could finish his sentence, Li Heng walked up to him and said, "Let's go and have a look together."

Wu Chen walked quickly to the front, held a torch and looked around. The cave was not big, but he could hear the wind and feel the wind blowing on his face. Wu Chen looked up at the top of the cave, and then took a breath. Angry, asked: "Are you unable to come down? Or are you floating on purpose?"

Xing Yun immediately stood in front of Li Heng.

Li Heng looked up and asked, "Is there a ghost?"

Wu Chen still looked up at the top of the cave, there were more than a dozen ghosts floating there, and there was a place on the top of the mountain that was covered with green plants like vines.

"You, can you see us?"

"Not only can I see you, but I can also save you. Are you obsessed with leaving or are you imprisoned here by Tianshi Yuan with a formation? Are there only a dozen of you?"

More than a dozen ghosts rushed to speak, and Wu Chen quickly understood.

These people include men and women, and they were all servants of other courts. Some of them died because of injustice and refused to leave, and some of them were people who were worried about them after death. Before they could leave, they were all arrested by Yuan Shuchun. Using spells and formations to imprison here, originally there were more people. A few days ago, many people suddenly came to the cave. The formation was a little loose, and some ghosts broke free from the formation and left. Before they had time to leave, Yuan Shuchun Then came, he repaired the formation again, and they couldn't escape.

"How many days did those people stay here?" Wu Chen asked.

"I stayed for a few days. At the beginning, I stayed in this cave. Several people fought. Later... there was a hidden door in the wall. They entered there. We could hear their voices. It was really noisy. A few days later, several groups of people came in and out."

Wu Chen glanced at Li Heng, and asked again, "Have you ever seen a female ghost that can float at will?"

"I have never seen it before. If there is one, it will be received here by Yuan Tianshi."

Wu Chen muttered: "This is already out of the other courtyard, she can't get out." After speaking, Wu Chen began to look at the wall and asked, "Is the secret door in this direction?"

"You said just now that you would save us. If we tell you and you leave, who will save us?"

"Didn't you say that there were several groups of people who went in and out before? I can come back to save you if I go out." Wu Chen raised his head and said.

"You went out, how do we know you will come back, those people who come in and out are not those brought by Yuan Tianshi."

Wu Chen glanced at Li Heng again, and said:

"Don't worry, since I said I will save you, I will definitely save you. I don't know the magic formations of Yuan Tianshi. The only way to save you is to destroy the mountains around you. In that way, Yuan Tianshi's formations will be destroyed. It's useless, you can leave as soon as possible, but if we destroy the cave, we won't be able to protect ourselves, so..." Wu Chen thought of something, and suddenly rose into the sky, floating in midair, and standing on the ground Surprised.

Wu Chen didn't want to see the makeup of the ghosts clearly. He held up the torch and looked at the nearby mountain first, then stepped on the mountain and rushed to the other side. Taking advantage of the light of the torch, he took a closer look before landing on the ground. .

"How many secret doors are there in this cave?" Wu Chen handed the torch to Xing Yun and asked, looking up.

The ghosts made no sound.

Wu Chen rolled up his sleeves and said:
"I can break the formation now, but the premise is that you have to tell how many secret doors there are in and outside the cave. You don't need to be stupid. You have been here for so long, and although you can't move around at will, you still have your hearing. People come and go, you can’t miss what you hear, if you don’t tell us, we are just looking for it, but sooner or later we will find it, but if I don’t save you, you may never have a chance to leave, I forgot to tell you, Yuan Tianshi has already died. Arrested and taken to Kyoto."

There was a commotion among the ghosts.

Xing Yun had already found a secret door at this time, he turned his head and asked Wu Chen, "Is it all right to push it open?"

A ghost hurriedly said: "There are three secret doors, which can only be opened by force at the same time. Pushing one secret door alone cannot be pushed."

Wu Chen repeated the ghost's words, Xing Yun tried it, but he really couldn't push it away.

Wu Chen looked at Li Heng who was standing in the cave with his hands behind his back, and asked with a bow, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to ask them, if not, I will send them away."

Li Heng frowned and asked, "There are still two secret doors, have you asked clearly? Destroy the cave now?"

Wu Chen hurriedly said:

"No, I went up to take a look just now. There are some spells inscribed on the mountain that I can't understand. I just need to destroy the spells and borrow Xing Yun's sword to use them."

Li Heng nodded and looked at Xing Yun, who subconsciously pressed the hilt of his sword and did not move.
