Chapter 61 Put Your Things Down and Run Fast

When Qin Yi took Su Shixia to the ruins of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, it was almost midnight.

There is no moon tonight, and the sky is so dark that there is hardly any light.

Before entering the ruins, Su Shixia was still vigilant. After entering the ruins, she was surprised to find that not only the guards who guarded the ruins during the day had disappeared, but even the broken rocks and burnt wood in the ruins were gone. They've obviously been cleaned up.

Especially the ruins of the central tower, the pile of rubbish that was as high as two people was completely removed, and now there is only the charred ground after the fire.

"I see that you have been observing here for a long time during the day, and you probably feel that there is something strange under this tower."

Qin Yi said: "Before I brought you here, I ordered them to clean up the ruins, and now it seems that their hands and feet are quite neat."

"Very helpful."

Su Shixia gave Qin Yi a rare smile.

"I really forgot to explain this before. Fortunately, you are thoughtful, otherwise I'm afraid you will have to waste a lot of time tonight."

Qin Yi stared at the slight smile on Su Shixia's lips, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

The guard who happened to be guarding here rushed over from the side, Qin Yi took the lantern handed over by the guard, and took Su Shixia to the open space of the high tower in the center of the ruins.

"Are you sure there are no outsiders here?"

Su Shixia looked around vigilantly while walking.

"We barged in with a lantern in such an open manner, and your people even moved the ruins away. There was such a commotion, and no one cared?"

"It's okay."

Qin Yi said: "After we left this morning, I heard that the national teacher also came to check it in person, and then said that there are no other valuable clues here, and it is not worth spending manpower to guard here. Before dark , the guards around here have already evacuated."

"The king's people acted after those people left."

Qin Yi explained, "Don't worry, they are very careful in their actions. There are no outsiders in this mountain on weekdays, and it is night, so they will not be noticed by others."

"The national teacher took the initiative to let those guards evacuate?"

Su Shixia frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong with this matter.

Before she could think about it, she heard a deliberately lowered voice suddenly coming from the front.

"My lord, my concubine! Please come here to have a look, both of you!"

Su Shixia followed the prestige, and saw two guards standing on the ruins of the tower, and one of the guards was waving at them with a lantern in his hand.

"When we cleaned up the ruins before, we found a secret compartment here!"

The guard's tone couldn't hide his excitement. He said that he stomped hard on a square floor tile next to him that had been burned so hard that it couldn't recognize its original appearance.

There was only a creaking sound, and a moment later, the floor tile was pushed up by something, and then it was completely moved to the side, revealing a hidden underground compartment about half a meter square.

"Those Taoist priests usually wear coarse linen clothes and look poor, but they earn a lot of money from the incense oil donated by the pilgrims!"

The guard took out a package from the secret compartment, opened the package, and found a pile of gold, silver and precious stones inside, which was even a bit dazzling under the light.

"My lord and concubine, please take a look! This is their private possession!"

Seeing that Su Shixia didn't look surprised at all, Qin Yi couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked: "You expected something to be buried here? During the day, you think there is something strange here, and that's why?"

The two guards next to him looked at Su Shixia with admiration.

They were responsible for leading people to clean up the ruins before, and they knew exactly how much rubble was piled on top of this facility.

The princess just came here and walked around casually during the day, and she was able to conclude that there are treasures under the ruins. In their eyes, this princess is simply a god!

"I know there must be something buried in the ground."

Su Shixia said: "I also know that there are properties here, but these properties are just a cover-up set up by them, that's not what I'm really looking for."

Under the suspicious gazes of Qin Yi and the others, Su Shixia slowly circled around the ruins of the high tower, and then seemed to confirm something, and walked slowly to a position about two steps away from the dark grid and stopped down.

"right here."

Seeing Qin Yi approaching, Su Shixia casually pulled out the long sword from his waist, and drew a rough range on the ground with the tip of the sword.

"The thing should be down there, dig it up and have a look."

The two guards habitually looked at Qin Yi first, and when they saw Qin Yi nodded, they immediately summoned their men and started digging with shovels and hoes.

"Is it the same as last night?"

Su Shixia was a little confused by Qin Yi's sudden question.

She turned to look at Qin Yi suspiciously, and then heard Qin Yi ask: "Last night, you directly confirmed the location of the buried corpse, and then asked Shi Jun to dig out the corpse?"

"Don't say it as if it's easy."

Su Shixia snorted: "One minute on stage and ten years off stage, do you understand? From your point of view, I seem to have locked the position easily, but in fact, to determine the position, what I have to learn in private There are many."

"Then who did you learn these things from?"

Qin Yi asked casually, "I've never heard of you knowing this kind of feng shui art before."

"I……"

Su Shixia's words started, and it seemed that she was ready to answer his question naturally.

But soon she stopped abruptly.

"how?"

Su Shixia raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yi with a half-smile, "Are you trying to trick me?"

"The king is just curious."

Qin Yi responded frankly.

Su Shixia only sneered when he heard the words, "This is my business, you don't need to take care of it."

"You should be lucky now. Fortunately, I know these things. Otherwise...you, including your Qin family, will die in the end. I'm afraid you don't even know how you died."

"You asked Shi Jun to bring me a message last night, saying that there is definitely more than that one corpse in the Qin family's house, but now you only found that one, the others..."

Qin Yi wanted to ask more questions, but before Su Shixia could respond, the guards who were digging the ground suddenly exclaimed.

"There is really something!"

"Hurry up! Be careful, take out the things and show the prince and princess!"

Su Shixia and Qin Yi were both refreshed when they heard the words, and immediately stepped forward to check the dug out object.

What was dug out this time was neither a corpse nor a parcel, but a black lacquered wooden box, not particularly big by the looks of it, square and square.

But because it was painted with a layer of black paint, and all around it was pasted with yellow talisman paper painted with red cinnabar, it looked gloomy and terrifying.

"My lord, you little ones have hit hard just now."

The guard who brought the box over said anxiously, "It seems that the talisman paper sealed on the box was damaged by us."

As the guard said, he stretched out his hand and was about to point to a piece of damaged talisman.

Before his fingertips could touch the talisman paper, Su Shixia suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't move! Put this box down immediately and run!"
