(There is something going on at home today, so much can only be done.) ）

"Bing'er, don't be afraid, it's just a corpse, haven't we seen much? I'm afraid they all committed suicide, and you can see the collapsed bench down there, which is also evidence of suicide. I heard that King Huai had killed a lot of people here, but there was no need for him to hang these corpses under the eaves. These Qingjiao saintesses must have known the news of the destruction of Ying Tiancheng, and committed suicide to show their loyalty. Qingjiao really harms people, and it is not a pity for Hai Dongqing to die ten more times. Lin Jue frowned.

"It's horrible, it's horrible. Hey, these girls just died, it's so pitiful. Bai Bing muttered.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes." The small people at the bottom can't control their own fate, and the people are unenlightened and stupid. Born in the world, it is indeed sad and pitiful. Now it can't be called a troubled time, if it's really a troubled time, it's not as good as a peaceful dog. ”

Bai Bing nodded and said, "No one has restrained these corpses, so they just hang here." Hey, at least you have to settle in the ground. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Before, King Huai ordered that the corpses of the bandits should not be buried, and the corpses should be violently left in the wild. I'm afraid no one will dare to disobey his orders. Tomorrow I will order someone to restrain me. Let's move on. ”

Bai Bing nodded, and the two walked past the swaying corpse, stepping on the dusty wooden steps under the corridor, half of the corridor collapsed, and the two of them came out from the side, and there was a large open space where they landed. Where the torch light shone, Bai Bing once again let out a cry of horror.

Ahead, I thought it was a black pile of rockeries, but under the light of the torches, the two realized that it was not a rockery, but a pile of dead people's corpses. The corpses were stacked on top of each other, surrounded by burnt marks, and were charred and blackened. All the bodies were stacked on top of each other, male and female, piled up in a small mountain. A burst of stench came out, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.

"Oh my God." Bai Bing covered his mouth and nose, and his body staggered.

Lin Jue held the torch and turned around in a small circle, and said in a deep voice: "These are the corpses of the servants and the saints, the bloody washing here on the day the Huaiwang City was broken, and the corpses of these people were piled up here and burned, but they were not done hastily, and they were not burned to ashes." Guo Xu did this completely to vent his anger, which is not advisable. I'm afraid there are hundreds of people here, hey, just kill them all indiscriminately? Guo Xu's move is debatable. ”

"Husband, let's go, I'm about to throw up." Bai Bing was in the mood to hear Lin Jue sigh here, so he pulled Lin Jue's sleeve and left. Lin Jue didn't want to stay either, so the two quickly walked back. After passing through a patio and through a hanging door, several rows of houses appeared in front of me, which must be the place where the back house lived.

The most devastated place is the house, which looks like it stands, but the walls and roofs have been excavated and turned upside down. The yard was also full of potholes, as if it had been dug up. The flower beds and rockeries in the courtyard were overturned and knocked down. These are the masterpieces of guys who have tried their luck here.

Lin Jue will not dig and rummage aimlessly, after determining that the main house in Dongshou is Hai Dongqing's former residence, Lin Jue held the torch inside and out and turned around several times, and carefully checked it.

"Husband, there's nothing here. Even the furniture and things were emptied. The ground has been excavated, and even if there are treasures, they have been taken. Bai Bing followed a few times and said disappointedly.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "I don't think so. If someone gets the property first, at least there are some clues. With so much gold and silver, there must be some kind of secret cellar or something. But after a careful inspection, we didn't see the open secret room or the dug cellar. Could it be that the first to climb will not be able to recover everything? Wouldn't that be an extra move? ”

Bai Bing also felt that there was some truth when he heard this, the things were taken away, but the place where the things were hidden must always be exposed. The secret cellar or something, you can always see it. But after checking inside and out several times, although the house was in disarray, there was no trace of the secret cellar.

"You rest, I'll look for it carefully, if you can't find us, we'll leave." Lin Jue said in a low voice.

Where is Bai Bing willing to rest, besides, she doesn't want to stay alone in this kind of place, so she only follows closely behind Lin Jue. Lin Jue calmed down and walked carefully back and forth twice, feeling a little disappointed. I really don't see any secret room to hide. The thickness of the walls, the height inside and outside the roof, Lin Jue had all calculated, and there was no sign of the existence of a secret room. The large pits and small holes dug in the ground should also be revealed if there is a cellar. There was some open space around the house that hadn't been excavated, but Lin Jue didn't dig holes all over the ground to find the cellar.

"Looks like we can't find it, we don't have this life. There are no secret rooms in this house. Unless it's somewhere else, but the area is too big to be searched. It's just that it's not my possessions, and I can't force it. Lin Jue sighed: "Let's go back, I ran for nothing, and I made you a little frightened, I'm really sorry." ”

Bai Bing said with a smile: "People who are greedy for money are busy in vain, this can be regarded as retribution." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Are you still gloating? I'm not here to live a comfortable life, silver is a good thing. I'm not too little. Let's go, let's go, don't come out in a while, some lonely ghosts will scare you into pinching my palm again. ”

Bai Bing blushed and said angrily, "You make fun of me." I'm not afraid of any ghosts, and if any monster comes out, I'll cut it in two with a knife. ”

As Bai Bing spoke, he swung his green flute blade and slashed at a big tree beside him. The bark of the tree was splashed with a loud sound.

Lin Jue smiled: "You don't have to take the trunk out of your anger, this tree doesn't provoke it." ”

Bai Bing sighed and frowned at the tree.

Lin Jue asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's strange that I didn't cut into the trunk of the tree this time, what kind of tree is this, so hard. The wood shook my hands and my hands hurt

It's weird. Bai Bing was surprised.

Lin Jue was stunned and said, "How is it possible?" Your green flute blade is a sharp weapon, how can you not cut a tree? ”

Bai Bing didn't answer, he picked up the green flute blade and cut it again, the thin blade was embedded in the trunk for a few minutes, but not the whole thing was cut in. It stands to reason that this knife must dive into the wood if it is cut at a tree.

"It's so hard. Odd. Bai Bing said again.

Lin Jue frowned and stepped forward, carefully looking at the tree beside him, this was a thick old tree, and the bark seemed to be a locust tree. The trunk of the tree was covered with vines of various thicknesses, and the surrounding ground was full of vine thick rhizomes, as if someone had deliberately planted these vines and used the large trees as a support for them to climb up. Looking up, the vines swam out of sight, and seemed to be crawling between the branches. Entangled between the branches of the entire trunk, it became a part of the tree. The ground around the ground was full of the leaves of this vine, and there was not a single leaf.

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and groped for the trunk of the tree, and the bark fell from his hand, dry like dry wood, like a dead tree. The bark of a living tree is never so dry and untenable.

"Hold the torch, I'll try." Lin Jue pulled out his waist knife.

Bai Bing took the torch to illuminate it, and Lin Jue swung his knife and slashed hard at the bark, the cut bark splashed and the vines broke. But the blade failed to cut into the wood under the skin. Lin Jue slashed a few more times, and his hand was still the same, and his hand was so painful that it seemed that the machete had made something hard.

"Weird." Lin Jue changed from cutting to cutting, and slashed a few times diagonally along the trunk of the tree, and suddenly, a piece of bark fell off, which was several feet in circumference. It just fell off in its entirety and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Jue and the others were startled, Lin Jue picked up the bark and looked at it, then took the torch and looked carefully at the trunk of the tree after the bark fell off, and suddenly laughed.

"What's the matter, don't laugh, I want to scare people to death." Bai Bingjiao said angrily.

Lin Jue laughed endlessly, pointed to the trunk of the tree and said, "What a means, it turned out to be hidden here." This isn't a tree, it's a secret room. The chamber is in the hollow trunk of a tree, which is a brilliant idea. ”

Bai Bing was stunned and said, "You mean, this tree is fake?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Half truths. This bark is real, real locust bark. But lo and behold, it's glued. Look at the inside of the bark, it's obvious that it's been coated with sticky things. The trunk inside is fake, you see, this is a trunk made of bluestone, I dare say it must be empty. No wonder we can't cut it in, it's all bluestone, how can we cut it in? ”

Bai Bing was stunned and speechless, and after carefully examining and groping according to what Lin Jue said, he believed that this was the truth. The inner core of the whole tree is made of bluestone, and it is like a chimney circle. The outer part of the tree is covered with bark, so that it becomes the trunk of the tree.

"Really, but are you sure this is the Chamber of Secrets? Doesn't this fake tree have no leaves, doesn't it seem too abrupt? Isn't it suspicious to be too conspicuous? Bai Bing frowned.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "This is Hai Dongqing's cleverness, he knows that this big tree pestle is in this yard, and in spring and summer, other big trees are luxuriant, and they must be very abrupt, so he planted so many vines around." You see, these are very fast-growing large-leaved thorn vines, they climb fast, they grow tall, and their leaves are large and thick. Think about it, if it were spring and summer, what would happen on the tree? ”

Bai Bing thought for a while and exclaimed, "Ah, it must be full of green vines, dense and prosperous, and you can't tell that it is a dead tree at all." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Isn't it? The vine also has the advantage of clinging to the trunk of the tree when climbing, preventing the sticky bark from falling off. Over time, vines grew everywhere, and the whole trunk was vines, and even if the bark was rotten, no one knew that it was a bluestone core inside. Isn't that a clever approach? After spending so much ingenuity on this tree, this is not a secret room, and I ate the whole tree. ”

Bai Bingjiao laughed and said, "Can you eat?" It's a big rock inside, and if you eat it, you'll be stone-hearted. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "I won't be hard-hearted, and I can't guess wrong." So now the question is, how do we get in. ”

Bai Bing said: "What's so difficult about that?" Just break it. ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it will be troublesome if it collapses." The branches on the top must be real branches, the bluestone is only the main trunk, and the top ones are afraid of real branches, as a foil for decorations. It would be best if you could get in from above. However, I am not very good at climbing trees, and I am afraid that I will have to ask my wife to do some labor. ”

Bai Bing smiled: "Leave it to me." ”

After saying that, he flew up, three steps and two steps at the same time, and in an instant the person had reached the top of the tree trunk and the branches.

"Sure enough, there's a hole, and a ladder." A moment later, Bai Bing's voice came from the branches.

Lin Jue was overjoyed and shouted, "Pull me up." ”

Bai Bing said: "Throw a torch up, the tree hole is too small, and the two of them are afraid that they will not be able to enter." ”

Lin Jue had no choice but to shout: "Then you should be careful." ”

Lin Jue took out a torch from his back and threw it on, Bai Bing reached out and took it, took the green flute, and lit the torch. From a circular hole between the three branches, it slowly descended into the belly of the tree.

"Wow, wow!" Bai Bing's astonishment kept coming from the belly of the tree, and although the sound was blocked, Lin Jue could still hear it clearly. I don't know what the situation is inside, but I'm anxious to scratch my ears and cheeks.

"What's wrong? Be careful. Lin Jue shouted.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jue felt the trunk of the tree vibrating, and suddenly there was a crisp sound at the root of the big tree, and several pieces of bark flew out, and then the light of torches appeared between the vines under the tree.

"Husband, it turns out that the import is in

Over here. There was a hole that had been blocked with moving bluestone, and I had moved away. Husband, you can come in, it's very spacious. Bai Bing's voice came from below.

Lin Jue smacked his lips and was stunned, looked at the oval hole under the root of the tree, and said in his heart: What the hell is this exit, this is obviously a water outlet. In case of rain, there is water stored inside, so a hole was opened to drain the water. It's a dog hole at best. Do you really want to drill?

On second thought: for the sake of silver, drill and drill. People die for money, birds die for food, what is it to drill a dog hole.

So he swung his knife and cut the roots of the vines covering the small hole under the roots of the tree, and cleared the hole of debris. With a sigh, he fell to the ground and burrowed in. Although the entrance to the cave is not big, Lin Jue is not a burly person. I'm afraid that the hole left behind is not only for drainage, but also for the purpose of taking out the belongings inside, so it is actually not too small, so Lin Jue still easily drilled into it.

When Lin Jue was still patting the dust on his body, Bai Bing had already hugged Lin Jue's neck with a smile and shouted, "Husband, you have made a fortune, look here, there are so many boxes." I only opened one box, and it was ...... It was full of gold, silver, and jewelry. Oh my God, this is the first time in my life that I've seen so much gold and silver jewelry. My heart was about to pop out. ”

Lin Jue raised the torch and looked around. The sight in front of him also made him a little dazed. Standing down and looking up, it's just a shaft less than six feet in circumference. It is surrounded by a bluestone barrier that leads to the top of the head. To put it bluntly, this is a shaft on the ground, and the location where Lin Jue and Bai Bing are now is at the bottom of the well.

But the two of them were not two poor frogs at the bottom of the well, and around them, along the bluestone well wall, all the way up, dozens of large and small boxes wrapped in oilcloth hung in the air. Needless to say, what's in these boxes, even a fool can guess.

Lin Jue slowly opened the box on the ground next to him, although it was a wooden box, the box wrapped in oilcloth was not damp at all. After opening the lid of the box, under the light of the torches, the whole tree hole was full of light, and all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and other items in the box were piled up in a mess, emitting a brilliant and dazzling light.

"Fuck me!" Lin Jue scolded and reached out to grab a handful of gold and silver jewelry. The gold and silver were left between Lin Jue's fingers, making a beautiful impact sound comparable to that of Xianle. The last thing that landed on his hand was a plum blossom hairpin with a ruby. The hairpin is not very delicate, but it is made of gold and inlaid with rubies. Naturally, it's worth a lot.

"These are all scavenged by Hai Dongqing from the sect members, and perhaps from the homes of wealthy officials, and lo and behold, this box is full of gold, silver, jewelry, and jewelry. I don't know how many people have been deceived by him to destitute them. Lin Jue sighed.

"Yes, it's all other people's property, why don't we get it out and give it back to others." Bai Bing said softly beside him.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "Give it back to others?" Are you kidding. These are all funds that the believers voluntarily donated to the youth and returned to them? The beauty of thinking is confiscated. Let this adult do it all for you...... Custody. ”

"Cut, death for money." Bai Bing took a sip and turned to check the other boxes. In every chest was something of gold and silver. There were twenty-nine small boxes in total, all of which were stuffed to the brim. Although Lin Jue is not a person who has never seen a lot of money, he is also very excited when the treasure worth hundreds of thousands of taels is in front of him all of a sudden.

"What to do? With so much gold and silver, what can you do? Bai Bing pouted in worry.

Lin Jue hugged her, smacked at her red lips, and said with a smile: "Move, some of us are busy, I'm afraid we will be busy until dawn." ”

……

At three o'clock in the sun, Lin Jue woke up leisurely. The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Jue only felt sore, especially his arms and legs hurt terribly, and when he sat up, he couldn't help baring his teeth and grinning.

Bai Bing, who was lying on the side, opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "My arm hurts badly, I was too tired last night, and I was tired enough." It's been hurting for a few days. ”

Bai Bing glanced at him and said, "I deserve it, even I'm tired to death, and I won't let anyone help." Both legs are sore and sore. ”

Lin Jue grinned, reached down and touched Bai Bing's slippery and slender thighs, and said, "Where does it hurt?" I'll rub it for you. ”

Bai Bing blushed shyly, and hurriedly rolled into the bed with the quilt, refusing to let Lin Jue get started. Lin Jue laughed, dressed and got up. Bai Bing also learned that Suo Suo got dressed. After the two of them finished washing, they came to the west wing together. There were wooden chests full of gold and silver, which were the result of Lin Jue's husband and wife who had worked hard to carry them back with horses last night.

"What do you do with these things?" Bai Bing asked.

"We will leave for Beijing this afternoon, and you will go to the street to hire a few big carts in a while, and we will transport these things back to the capital. It's not going to work here. Lin Jue said.

"Well, that's all there is to it. If he returns home, the little county lord is afraid that he will be in a daze. Others go out to fight hard, but our husband is good, and he got so much gold and silver home after he was promoted. It's really a good person to marry. Bai Bing teased.

Lin Jue laughed and said: "You are not yin and yang, your husband and I are not a humble gentleman." You are content, follow me, you should wake up laughing from your dreams. Don't be long-winded, go get a big car, pack up when you come back, and prepare to go back to Beijing. I have to go and talk to Wei Dakui and them, and let them collect the corpses in the big mansion of the main altar of the Qing Sect. The violent corpse is in the wild, what kind of system it becomes. ”

Bai Bing was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and said: "What the husband said is that this matter must be done, it is best to ask a few monks and Taoists to overtake it, we may have collided with them last night." ”

Lin Jue laughed, turned around and walked away.
