Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 244 Seeing the Light (Part [-])

A team of soldiers was removing the mud from the bottom of the river, mainly from the distance from the hole Wu Chen made to the shore.

Another group of soldiers has gone down to the dark room at the bottom of the river.

Wu Chen was also worried that the river would fill the dark room with water, but one of the generals jumped down and said that the water only reached his calf.

Wu Chen thought for a while, the dark room below was probably about the size of this pond, so he stopped caring about the dark room, and started looking for a few pieces of five-color jade pendants to restrain the female ghost.

When Xing Yun scattered the ashes into the river, he was standing by the river's edge. The jade pendants were not considered heavy objects. The rapid current just now would definitely move them, and they were even covered by silt. Wu Chen had to use branches to search for them.

Standing on the shore, Li Heng asked puzzledly, "What are you looking for?"

Without raising his head, Wu Chen replied, "Five-color jade pendant."

"Wouldn't it be nice to let it bury here?"

"That thing is evil. The spell on it seems to be able to suck away people's souls. It may be discovered by someone in the future. If a person who loves money, he will definitely find a way to keep it. It may be a disaster. Besides, the female ghost is subject to The five-color jade pendant, taking the five-color jade pendant is taking away the female ghost, if you don’t look for it, who knows who will come to save the female ghost?”

Li Heng squinted his eyes to look at the busy soldiers over there, and then at Wu Chen who was pawing the mud alone. Before he could figure out what to do, he heard a scream coming from the ground, and Li Heng was shocked.

It wasn't just Li Heng who was shocked, Wu Chen struggled towards the hole at the bottom of the river without even thinking about it.

Wu Chen naturally remembered those four monsters, although he still hadn't figured out why those four things weren't here?Why did the four monsters come out when Yuan Shuchun fell into the river?

But he knew that the four monsters would be wastes when exposed to water or light, so he was not in a hurry. Although the 'skylight' he opened was not big, there would still be light coming in, and all the water in the river was poured into the dark room. It stands to reason Even if the four monsters are below, they are just decorations.

At this moment, he heard the screams, and he only hoped that it was the screams of being frightened.

But before Wu Chen got close, he saw a soldier's body being thrown up. The soldiers below would not do this, that is...

A few more screams followed.

Wu Chen shouted loudly: "Stand where there is light!"

Just as Wu Chen finished speaking, another corpse was thrown up, followed by another...

Wu Chen was in a hurry. By jumping at this time, he could only hold back one monster from beating him, but couldn't stop the other three from killing him. What should we do?
Wu Chen gritted his teeth and could only open the 'skylight' a little more.

At this moment, he didn't dare to wave his palm to use all his strength to make the hole bigger, there were still many soldiers below, but time waited for no one, those four monsters killed a man with just a single stroke!
Wu Chen walked up to the hole, signaled the people in front to back off, and then planed away the mud on the edge of the hole with both hands, revealing a thick iron plate fault below, Wu Chen held the iron plate with both hands, tried his luck, the iron plate fault was not Not being able to hurt his hands, Wu Chen exerted all his strength and shouted, "I'll let you see the light!"

Li Heng on the shore saw Wu Chen bow and pull up the iron plate, back again and again, as if peeling off someone's skin, he heard Wu Chen's cry from the bottom of his heart, for a moment Li Heng forgot to breathe.

Wu Chen used all his strength this time. Before the mud under his feet could stop him, he took a few steps back. The iron plate continued to make a piercing cracking sound. The plate is completely broken at the joint.

Wu Chen threw the iron plate in his hand aside, bent down again, grasped the fault of the iron plate with both hands, and raised the iron plate with a roar.

After the entire river bottom was almost divided into two by Wu Chen, Wu Chen lay on the mud and couldn't move anymore.

……

Li Heng looked up at the sky, and only then did he understand Wu Chen's painstaking efforts. If Wu Chen had followed Wu Chen's wishes, the river would be cleaned up at dawn. Already tilted west.

Li Heng glanced at Xing Yun, and Xing Yun got into the quagmire in a blink of an eye, and quickly dragged Wu Chen ashore.

At this moment, Wu Chen felt as though his body had been hollowed out, and he could only watch helplessly if anyone came to stab him.

Li Heng asked a few questions, Wu Chen could hear them, but couldn't answer a single word.

Li Heng looked at Liu Jinzhong, and Liu Jinzhong ran all the way to ask the accompanying imperial doctor to see him.

At this time, one of the soldiers in the quagmire ran over and reported back: "Your Majesty, Fan Wu reported in the dark room that the monster below had not moved. They found the secret door as soon as they went in. The secret door opened and a lot of water flowed out. They asked if it was Carry it from the ground or from the top?"

"I knew it must be because the water was gone, so I blamed me for not saying a word." Wu Chen sat up and said.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, but Wu Chen had already stood up.

Xing Yun wanted to refrain from asking, but still blurted out: "Did you just pretend?"

Wu Chen ignored Xing Yun, looked at Li Heng and said:

"Your Majesty, the underground dark room is probably not small, and the gold and silver contained in it are indispensable. Depending on the sky, it may be difficult to carry it before dark. The things below are afraid of light, and torches are fine, but those few This thing looks really frightening, who should stand next to them and hold a torch... I'll go down and see, it would be best if torches can be installed on the walls around the darkroom, can you find out where the darkroom leads below? "

Wu Chen said as he walked towards the quagmire: "Use both roads, use the secret passage, and pass it up, as much as you can move before dark, if you can control the four monsters, it's the best... Xing Yun!" Wu Chen turned his head to the shore and shouted again: "Help me find those jade pendants, if you find them, don't touch them, it's best to put them in a box with branches."

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen started to mutter again and walked forward

Li Heng looked at the soldier who reported back and said, "It's all under Wu Chen's arrangement."

……

It wasn't until Wu Chen went down to the dark room that he realized how big it was below.How many boxes are there!
His first reaction was that this is unscientific!

Wu Chen looked up at the remaining iron plate on top of his head. The iron plate inside was covered with a layer of wood. When he smashed the sky and ground before, he not only missed one iron plate, but also knocked off a lot of the wooden plate wrapped underneath. , so now Wu Chen looks up and can see pieces of iron plates hanging above his head. There is no welding technology in this era, how did the builders do it?
The soldiers below were injured a lot just now, and even more scared. When Wu Chen looked up in a daze, a new batch of soldiers had come down and replaced all the previous ones.

A leader stepped forward and asked: "The box is too heavy, and it is difficult to send it up. The door of the secret passage is opened, and I don't know where it leads. The soldiers who went to explore the way have not returned."

Wu Chen withdrew his thoughts. Now is not the time to go into science. He must first determine where the four monsters are and whether they have become decorations, and then see where this secret passage leads. Why didn't the soldiers who explored the way come back?

　Forty degrees!I tried my best to live, and the good thing is that there is no one in the small garden.

　　You should also do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down. The most important point is, don’t get angry, don’t worry, and don’t take it seriously.
