Luo Lie actually thought so. Now it is certain that there is a reason why Ye Qinghong chose Zhengjue Temple. The map given by Mu Sanshou clearly stated that the entrance to the secret is in the backyard of Zhengjue Temple. The following experiences and experiences also show that Prince Rui Yixun was probably here back then.

Mu Sanshou told him personally that Ye Qinghong had fallen into the hands of Prince Hong Zaixiang, but the condition for her was a Jizhou tripod. Although Luo Lie did not believe all of Mu Sanshou's words, he could not refuse. There was one thing he could not deny, and he was still quite concerned about Ye Qinghong.

Luo Lie's intuition told himself that this place is close to the secret truth.

The sparrow has recovered completely now, moved her waist and said, "Since we are here, let's go and have a look, but should we go up or down?"

Arnold suddenly remembered that he had faced such a problem when he was in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm. At that time, he proposed to go against the current, but he encountered the Red Flame Soul Chasing Bee and almost lost his life. This time he faced almost the same choice. Arnold shook his head and decided to choose to remain silent.

The blind man said, "The flow is the exit, so we naturally have to go up. Besides, people go to high places and water goes to low places. Do you think this is the case?"

Arnold couldn't help laughing out loud. The blind man looked confused and spat, "Laugh? You know how to laugh, you're just laughing!"

Among the people present, Luo Lie had experienced that incident with Arnold, so he was the only one who understood why Arnold was laughing. Luo Lie said: "This river should not be too long, let's go upstream first."

As soon as Luo Lie spoke, he made a decision. Everyone agreed that he had irreplaceable prestige among his companions.

The blind man was responsible for guiding the way at the front, Arnold was at the tail of the team and the broken back, Luo Lie followed the blind man closely, and the sparrow followed him. There was no light in the cave, and their eyes could not see anything at all, and everyone walked hand in hand by the river.

The blind man is the eyes of all of them. Even in such a dark environment, the blind man can still clearly see the surrounding scenery. This river is obviously an artificial river. The place where they just fell into the water was about ten meters wide. The embankments were built with bluestone on both sides, and they went up against the current and climbed up step by step. The craftsmen who built the Old Summer Palace in the past fully considered using the drop to increase the flow rate of water to speed up the flood discharge.

After walking up about a hundred meters, there was a bluestone bridge across the banks of the river. On the opposite side of the bluestone bridge, three different streams of water flowed from three ditches in different directions into the main road of the underground river.

The blind man led a few people to the Bluestone Bridge. Luo Lie was right. The river was indeed not long. The Bluestone Bridge was the beginning of the upstream. Going upwards, there were three different ditches, and the three ditches must lead to different directions.

Luo Lie took a lighter and observed the surrounding terrain with the light of the lighter. If he continued to move up, he had to choose one of the three ditches. However, the next road began to become steep and difficult to walk, and they were walking in a slander and would definitely face many difficulties.

Arnold scratched his head habitually and said, "It seems that it's over, let's go back."

The sparrow took out his compass and looked at it, thinking about the ditch in front of the left: "Go toward there."

The few of them looked at the sparrow curiously, wondering why she made such a decision.

Sparrow says: "Zhengjue Temple is located in the southeast of the Yuanmingyuan. We should be at the bottom of the Zhengjue Temple. The ditch in front of the left points to the northwest of the Zhengjue Temple, which means the center of the Yuanmingyuan."

Luo Lie nodded. The sparrow's decision was quite reasonable. In fact, he had already reached this place. You might as well continue to take a few more steps, and you are always unwilling to give up like this.

The blind man is still responsible for leading the way ahead and walking along the narrow and steep berth beside the ditches. He reminds several people to pay attention to their feet to avoid falling into the canal. The water flows in the canal is turbulent. As long as it falls in, it will be washed into the river channel where it just came.

Going forward, seeing a glimmer of light coming forward, Luo Li and his men's eyes finally had some use. When they walked closer, they found that there were round white objects the size of bowls embedded on the wall, which were they radiating. The sparrow didn't know what material it was, and he reached out and touched it curiously. Based on the touch of her fingertips, she judged that the luminous object was actually a bone. Her heart couldn't help but tremble, and an inexplicable panic rose from the bottom of her heart.

Arnold also found what this white object was. When he looked closer, he said in horror: "Skull, the wall is embedded with a skull!" It turned out that the white and round objects were all human skulls, arranged neatly and embedded in the wall.

The sparrow was so scared that he hurriedly retracted his hand, and then grabbed Luo Lie's arm tightly. Luo Lie calmly said: "There is the most dangerous thing in this world that is dead people. Don't be afraid, let's continue to go."

The blind man said, "Who is so vicious that he actually inlaid the skulls of so many people here?"

Luo Lie sighed and said, "Maybe it was the craftsman who built the garden back then." Behind the glitz, there are often ugliness and dangers. When the Qing Dynasty royal family enjoyed the beautiful scenery above, they should not have thought that there were so many unjust souls hidden in the dark underground waterways below the Old Summer Palace.

These skulls were arranged neatly. The blind man counted them for a preliminary period, at least 200, and each skull had a name engraved on it. He couldn't help feeling uneasy. If more than 200 unjust souls suddenly emerged from this cave, the four of them might not be able to deal with it.

Finally, I walked past this skull wall and gathered three two-meter-diameter flood discharge outlets arranged side by side about ten meters in front of me. The water flow in the ditches came from the flood discharge outlet. However, there was no water flow in the middle one, and the two flood discharge outlets on both sides were turbulent.

The blind man came to the flood discharge outlet with dry water and looked at it. There was not even a single water stain inside. He told his companions about this discovery. After discussing, he decided to enter the waterless flood discharge outlet to take a look. In fact, they had no other choice, and it was impossible for them to go backwards to enter the other two flood discharge outlets by the flood.

Before I walked too far, I found dead branches on the ground. When I touched them gently, they turned into debris. It can be seen that there have been many days since the blind man took a breath of musty air and was choked and coughed. The pipes were deep, and the same coughing sound came from the distance.

Arnold felt a little scared in his heart and whispered, "It seems that there is someone in the distance." As soon as he opened his mouth, an echo came, and he understood what was going on, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

About twenty meters inside, bones appeared on the ground, with spots of phosphorescence on these bones, and Luo Li and his men could also see the outlines through the glimmer of light. Because of the experience of the skull wall just now, they were mentally prepared, so they no longer felt shocking when seeing the bones everywhere.

The blind man saw it more clearly and found that these skeletons all had a common feature. All skeletons had lost their heads. It is not difficult to infer that the skulls of these dead were all embedded on the wall they had just passed by. There were as many skulls as there were, as many skeletons as there were.

Although several people carefully dodged, Arnold accidentally stepped on a skeleton. A sudden crackling sound sounded in the silence. Several people were shocked. Arnold hurriedly raised his foot, but felt that his right foot was being grabbed tightly. Arnold screamed: "Ghost!"

The blind man turned around and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Arnold stepped on the chest of a skeleton, broke his ribs, and his big foot fell into the chest cavity of the skeleton, and could not be pulled out for a while, so he had the illusion of being caught in the soles of his feet.

Luo Lie lit the lighter, and Arnold then saw clearly what was going on under his feet, moved his feet awkwardly, and pulled his feet out of the gap in the bones.

Taking advantage of the light of the lighter, the sparrow looked around and saw bones spreading everywhere in front of them. I don’t know where the end was. Fang sighed in her heart, how many people died in this flood drainage pipeline? Who is so cruel and killing so many craftsmen?

The blind man found that many bones were covered with weapons. In other words, these people had experienced a mutual murder before their death. He pulled out a waist knife from a bone, and the casting date was engraved near the back of the knife. According to the date above, it was made during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and he told Luo Lie about his discovery.

Luo Lie thought to himself that, based on the time of casting weapons, these dead people should have entered the underground waterway of the Old Summer Palace after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. This time coincides with the time when Prince Rui Yixun was responsible for building the Old Summer Palace. Ye Qinghong had previously said that Prince Rui Yixun discovered a secret treasure under the Old Summer Palace and ordered Liu Tongsi to keep the secret. The best way to keep the secret is to kill people to silence them. These bones are likely to be the personal guards of Prince Rui back then.

It's just a bit confusing. To kill them in order to silence them, why do they have to cut off their heads and embed the skull into the wall? Who is so cruel and boring? That skull wall cannot be completed in one day. The blind man sighed and hung the knife around his waist. The knife was good and the steel mouth was good. It should be sold for a good price when he took it out.

The sparrow was a little scared and subconsciously grabbed Luo Lie's arm. Luo Lie gently patted the back of her hand to express comfort.

In fact, everyone has the same idea in their minds. Since they have come here, they can't give up halfway. After walking about a hundred meters along the bones, they reached the end. The drainage path was blocked by sand and stones. Luo Lie reached out and patted the wall. Judging from the feedback from the wall, it was extremely solid and heavy. The only thing in the three flood discharge channels was that there was no water flow. This is the reason. This should be because this channel was artificially filled.

Arnold took off the leather bag on his body, which contained more than a dozen grenades. He suggested: "You can explode this wall."

The blind man nodded, and he and the golden retriever thought of one thing about this matter.

The sparrow said: "No, it will be detonated here, which may cause the tunnel to collapse. If that happens, we will be buried alive."
