Ji Lian quickly heard the meaning of Fan Ying's words. He leaned back on the chair in a daze, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, as if he was helpless and sad about all this.
Ji Lian whispered: "Just follow the general's will."
Fan Ying immediately called in his men and said, "Go, stare at the two boys Lushan, and make sure their schedule is clear."
Zhang Hui and Yundou searched the important gates in various places according to the capital formation map to see if any changes in those gates over the years would affect the formation.
On this day, they planned to go to the furthest Fulong Cave, which is near the imperial tomb to the west of Changdu. Since entering this place normally requires passing through the imperial tomb and reporting to Taichang Temple, the procedure was too complicated, so it was delayed until the end.
The area around Fulong Cave is the famous geomantic treasure of the Great Capital City for many years. This cave was built by an ancestor of Lushan who knew the formation method. The structure in the cave is complex and there are many institutions. More than two hundred years ago, Qi State and The Yan Kingdom fought, when the Yan Kingdom army was about to break into the Great Capital City, some important and inconvenient things in the palace were hidden in Fulong Cave.
After Yan's army retreated, Fulong Cave had a special meaning for Changdu people. From then on, it was designated as a special protected area together with the imperial tomb. It's just that this place has been working many years ago after all. With the passage of time, Fulong Cave has also withdrawn from people's attention and has become a place no different from ordinary deserted caves.
When Zhang Hui and Yundou arrived near Fulong Cave, the surrounding area was quiet. One or two handymen cleaning the cemetery occasionally appeared in the distance, and no one else appeared.
A pavilion was built at the entrance of Fulong Cave, and the pavilion seemed to have been left unattended for a long time, and there was a layer of fallen leaves on the ground.Zhang Hui thought that the pavilion originally built here might be guarded by someone, but later this place was not taken seriously, and the pavilion was abandoned.
Yun Dou sighed: "This person is really easy to forget things. This place doesn't help much now, it's almost like a deserted cave. No one comes here to take a look."
Zhang Hui looked around outside the entrance of the cave, and saw that the entrance of the cave was opened on a small hill. The surrounding area was already covered with branches and vines. If you didn't look closely, you didn't know that the famous Fulong Cave was here.
Zhang Hui drew his sword to clean the entrance of the cave. Yun Dou picked up some dead branches and made a torch. The two of them entered the entrance of the cave and walked slowly inside.
They kept walking down the passage of the entrance. After walking for a while, they felt that they were now completely below the ground and could no longer hear any sound on the ground.
After passing a passage, they came to a square stone chamber, which was empty, as if no one had been here for a long time.
Yundou buckled two fingers and tapped on the stone wall, wondering if there was anything weird in this place that would affect the formation of the city.But he was very careful about all of this, and he was worried that if he touched the head of the organization, if he was not careful, the two would be trapped in it.
Yun Dou held a torch in one hand, and fumbled with the other hand on the stone wall. His fingers suddenly pinched a crack in the stone wall. He saw that the crack did not look like a natural stone wall, so he used his entire palm to lean up and force it. Push.
With only a few bangs, the gap in the stone wall slowly grew wider. It turned out to be a door with another stone chamber inside.
"It's really big inside, otherwise how could it be possible to put so many things in the palace back then." Yun Dou said in surprise, and he lit a torch to let Zhang Hui go to the stone room that he had just discovered.He was originally interested in these formations and the like. This Fulong Cave was just a waste hole for others, but to Yundou it seemed to have discovered a treasure.
After Zhang Hui and Yun Dou entered the stone room together, they both dared not close the door, worrying about not understanding the mechanism of the door. If they closed it, they might not be able to open it again.
After Yun Dou entered, he banged on the wall with his hands as usual. Zhang Hui was always a little uneasy. He looked back at the stone gate from time to time, for fear that one of them would not be able to get out without paying attention.
Zhang Hui suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, and unconsciously looked back at the stone gate. It looked like a person was hidden behind the stone gate. Before he could react, he pushed the door violently, and the door closed quickly with a bang.
Zhang Hui rushed towards the stone gate, trying to break the door open with his hand stuck in the crack of the door, but at this time, the door seemed to have never been opened before, and he couldn't shake it at all.
Seeing this situation, Yun Dou rushed to Zhang Hui’s side in shock. He held a torch on the crack of the door and looked at it. He pushed and pushed on the door. What just happened was like a nightmare. It made him feel incredible.
"It's broken now. What's the matter with this door? Can it be pushed open just now? How come it is like this now, we can only be trapped inside."
Yun Dou pushed on the door dozens of times and became exhausted, but after his body collapsed, the despair in his heart surged.
Zhang Hui thought about whether they had touched any mechanism after they came in, but he always felt that he heard something wrong at the moment he felt that the door was closing, so he suddenly looked back, and that The sound was so small that he thought it was an illusion.
"I just thought the door was about to be closed, and the door really closed. Would you say that something will follow us and close the door as soon as we enter?"
Zhang Hui's question made Yun Dou's hair terrified.
Yun Dou said, "Nothing happened when we came in. Could it be that there is a ghost here?"
"Fortunately, you are still a cultivator. The cultivator doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world." Zhang Hui despised and continued to fumble on the wall, hoping to discover a new stone room, or a mechanism that could open the door.
After a while, the torch in Yundou's hand was also extinguished, and the two of them were completely plunged into the darkness, it felt like they had fallen into the ground completely cut off from the light.
The two of them were sitting against the wall, talking and talking, thinking that they would starve to death under this dark ground, the despair in their hearts would make it impossible to fight for battle.
Yun Dou murmured: "I want to go outside to catch my breath now, I want to take a look at the outside world, it's too uncomfortable to die like this."
"Don't give up, let's keep going. Someone will come to save us. If the person who came to save us just died, are you angry?" Although Zhang Hui was enveloped in despair from time to time, he still insisted on encouraging Yundou.
