Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 248 Forest Temple

In Chen Guoguo Palace, there is a special place responsible for punishing concubines who make mistakes or commit crimes, called "Supervision Division".

From top to bottom, the supervisory department is all eunuchs who have received special training, and the methods they use to punish concubines are all kinds of torture.

It is said that when those people executed their executions, they used all sorts of strange and outrageous methods, and the more concubines who had once had a good time, the more inhuman torture they suffered.Those who entered the Supervisory Division and survived could no longer be called human beings, they could only be said to be monsters that barely took human form.

Inexplicably, Luo Pin's broken face, and her twisted body walking, suddenly crashed into Qin Su's mind.

Qin Su couldn't help feeling shuddering at the back, and a little sweat broke out from the corner of his forehead.

At this moment, she already somewhat believed that the person who hated the Qin family deeply probably came from the harem of Chen Guo.Such a method of cutting flesh with a thin knife, except for those palace people with abnormal minds, no one else can do it.

It seemed that after she went back, she had to recall the current concubines of Emperor Zhongyuan to see if she could find some clues from them.

Qin Su snuggled in front of the window, looking at the rows of green trees that kept passing by the car window, lost in thought.

The cicadas chirped one after another, resounding all the way.Cypresses and poplars are neatly planted on both sides of the official road, and the green leaves reflect the blue sky, which is verdant and moving.

The sun was already slightly westward, and the golden sunlight fell on the official road, shining so brightly that it dazzled the eyes.Fortunately, once the summer in the Northland passes through the afternoon, it will become cooler, and there will be more vehicles on the official road, which is not as desolate as when Qin Su entered the city.

Qin Su got out of the car when he was still a mile away from Xiaozaozhuang.

The place where she got off the car was in the opposite direction from the exit of the secret path, separated by several miles, because she didn't want people to see her whereabouts, so she was willing to work her legs and take more detours.

The weather was still a bit hot, Qin Su wiped off his sweat and left the official road, walking on the dirt path stepped by the villagers, walking neither too fast nor too slow.

The veil had been torn off by her, and it was used as a fan to fan the wind and occasionally to shade the sun. This road is rarely visited by people, if she still wears the veil when she gets here, it will be noticeable.

The wind picked up a bit, and the dust on the dirt road was soaring. After walking for a while, Qin Su's head and face were covered with dust.

She raised her sleeves to beat the dust, looked around, and carefully sensed the movement around her. After confirming that there was no one around, she turned around and turned into a poplar forest.

The earth temple is located deep in the woods. Due to years of disrepair, the incense has long been cut off. The villagers of Xiaozaozhuang never go there, so Qin Su's journey has been very smooth. None.

The Earth Temple has fallen into disrepair, and the big characters on the lintel have long been blurred due to the wind and sun, but the statue of Father Earth is still there in the temple, and under the pedestal of the statue is the exit of the secret path.

Qin Su looked around in front of the temple, then went around to the back of the statue, bent slightly, pressed the yellow mud wall panel of the pedestal and lifted it deftly, and the yellow wall panel was lifted up in its entirety, exposing his lower head Another gray wall with an inconspicuous keyhole.

She took out a palm-sized key from her sleeve, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it twice, and there was a "click" sound in the gray wall. When the gray wall was pushed away, there was a hole that could allow one person to pass through. , the stone steps under the entrance of the cave are faintly visible.

Qin Su carefully picked up the yellow clay board that had been removed before, embedded it on the gray wall, and pressed it firmly.The two wall panels are empty and solid, and the function of the yellow mud wall is to cover the gray wall with the keyhole.

After the yellow clay panels were fitted tightly, Qin Sufang walked backwards into the secret path. After stepping down two stone steps, he reached for the iron ring on the inner side of the gray wall, closed the entrance door, and then closed the door again. The iron bolt is firmly pinned.

The most delicate part of this secret path is the two mechanism locks at the exit and entrance.The mechanism lock at the entrance is a pull ring, one for the inside and one for the inside and outside.

The mechanism lock at the exit is even more ingenious. The outside lock hole needs to be opened and closed with a key, but the inside is closed with a bolt. Its precision and ingenuity are the only ones Qin Su has ever seen in his life.Even if she later entered the Chen Nei Palace, the most skilled craftsman in the palace could not make such an ingenious mechanism lock.

It is said that these two organ locks were made by the descendants of the Mohist school, and it is not known whether it is true or not.

Qin Su walked down the stone steps slowly, looking around the secret path.

The secret path is extremely narrow, only allowing two people to walk side by side. There are luminous stones embedded on the left and right walls, and the line of sight is quite far away. In addition, every hundreds of steps, a circle with a size of about one foot will appear on the wall hole.

According to Emperor Zhongyuan, these round holes are wind holes. With these wind holes, walking in the secret path will not be stuffy.

Qin Su looked up at the black air hole, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

After digging through the mountainside, a secret passage was forcibly dug out, and the design was so ingenious. It seems that King Jing must have spent a lot of money in order to build this life-saving road.

It's a pity that before he had time to use this secret path, he was forced by the first emperor to kill himself, and in the end it made Qin Su, a latecomer, cheaper.

Qin Su bent her eyes and stopped at the foot of the stone steps.

The stone steps have come to an end so far, and there is an upward slope from here, and the things she hides are under this stone step.

She groped on the ground for a while, and soon found a bundle. Inside the bundle was the clothes of a very inconspicuous maidservant, blue cloth dress, black cloth belt, and the maidservant in Yanxia Pavilion. It is such an attire.

This set of clothes was exchanged by Qin Su and others, and Aoi helped prepare the set of clothes for the boys from the common clan.Today, when Qin Su stole the secret path from the broken wall, she pretended to be a servant girl of the Qin family and left Yanxia Pavilion.

While thinking in her heart, she quickly changed her clothes, wrapped the men's clothing in her bag, and hid it under the stone steps, and then walked forward quickly.

In the path, the luminous stone emits green firefly light, illuminating the wall in a gloomy green.

After walking forward for about a stick of incense, you can see a corner ahead.From this corner, go forward for about two quarters of an hour, and you will reach the exit.

However, the light on this section of the road was not as good as before. Some of the luminous stones on the wall no longer glowed, and Qin Su's speed was also much slower.

Fortunately, she had walked this road a few times, and she was quite familiar with it, so she simply closed her eyes and walked forward while leaning on the wall.

It's not because of her exaggeration, it's because of the miserable green light, it's really frightening, even Qin Su has a lot of courage, even after watching it for a long time, he feels terrified.

Anyway, the secret path is extremely narrow and the ground is flat, so you don't expect to encounter anything.

　Both today and tomorrow are three shifts, hehehe.
