Chapter 291 Ox-Head and Horse-Face Remains?
"Let me see." Fang Duobing stepped forward with the lantern and examined it carefully: "This should be it. Here, take it."
Fang Duobing handed the lantern in his hand to the servant beside him, then drew the Erya sword from his hand, channeled his inner strength, and swung it forcefully, instantly breaking open the stone door.
The new discovery excited everyone.
Once the dust at the cave entrance had settled, Fang Duobing was about to go inside with his lantern when Li Lianhua stopped him.
"This mine has poor ventilation and could explode if it comes into contact with an open flame. I've heard it's exploded a few times before, so be careful. Everyone, take cover for now."
Seeing that Li Lianhua's words made sense, everyone listened to him and hid on both sides of the cave entrance.
After everyone had hidden themselves, Li Lianhua took out a tinderbox, lit it, and threw it into the cave. Then she quickly hid next to the mine shaft.
After waiting for a while, they didn't hear any unusual noises. The only sound was the crackling of tinderboxes burning quietly in the mine. Since there seemed to be no danger, the group went in to investigate.
What came into view was a mine shaft that was even larger than the outside, but unlike the outside, all the jade stones on the walls had been chiseled clean.
And on the walls of this hidden mine, there are still many jade stones.
"How come there's still an unexplored mine shaft hidden here?"
"Presumably, someone had hidden the entrance to the mine before the miners dug the pit, so the miners didn't discover the location."
"I never imagined that the largest unexploded emerald mine would be right beneath this Whitewater Garden."
"Fang Duobing, look, there's a jade bed and a teapot here. It seems someone has been practicing martial arts here recently." Li Lianhua deduced the general situation based on the scene.
"This must be the King of Hell's mansion. In the past, when the King of Hell took a wife, he only targeted unmarried women. Today, as soon as we arrived, he came to my house to take a wife because we bought this house."
"They really went to great lengths to protect the mines here."
“That’s not quite right,” Li Lianhua said, rejecting Fang Duobing’s explanation.
"Think about it, if he wanted to keep this house, why would he pretend to have died in the fire? After he died, the house would naturally fall into the hands of someone else, and he would no longer be able to hide himself. There was no need to do that."
"That means the former owner of this house is indeed dead, and the house has no choice but to be sold," Wu You guessed.
“I think it’s impossible. When I fought him just now, I found that he was indeed using the Yellow Springs Lord’s ultimate technique, the Jade Trap.” Fang Duobing shook his head, also denying Wu You’s guess.
"Could it be that an enemy came looking for them, and they left in a hurry?"
Li Lianhua shook her head: "Even if he wanted to hide, he wouldn't do something like marrying the King of Hell."
"Lust is truly a double-edged sword."
"I don't think Lian Quan is that kind of person. Let's not think about it too much now. Let's go look for him in other places."
With no other clues found, the group followed the passageway inside to search further.
After walking for a while, the group discovered two skeletons lying on the ground.
"Why is there only half a corpse on the ground? Where are his legs?" a servant exclaimed.
Li Lianhua examined the lantern carefully: "Perhaps he never had legs to begin with."
"Look, the skeleton on the wall is intact, but the one on the ground looks like it was cut off at the root. Could it be Ox-Head or Horse-Face?"
Fang Duobing also discovered some problems.
