A genius girl with her own space

Qiqi took out two more flashlights and gave them to her brother and senior. She also taught her brother how to use them. The underground passage was pitch black, unlike the caves they had explored today, which had eternal lamps to illuminate. Combined with their two flashlights, the underground passage was instantly illuminated.

I don’t know how it was built, but there is a little bit of wind blowing inside. Qiqi admires the craftsman who built the underground passage and also knew how to ventilate it.

They looked at the underground passage and saw that they could go forward or backward. Fearing danger, they did not separate and all agreed to go forward, heading out of the city. With flashlights, they walked forward. There were some extra stones inside, placed against the wall.

Qiqi guessed the wall builders had placed stones there for rest, and also to provide a place for future visitors who might tire of the underground passage. There were several such stones at intervals. She was touched by the meticulousness of the builders, and no matter what they were doing, she wanted to thank them for their kindness.

As they walked slowly, Zhou Jingze suddenly felt the space expand to the size of a room. There were several statues, the tallest of which was the Buddha, with Guanyin, Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Ksitigarbha standing on either side. In front of the Buddha statues was a stone table and an incense burner, which must have burned incense.

Qiqi bowed to the Buddha statue, as did Zhou Jingze and Yunming. Hu Boyuan then walked forward. He noticed something was wrong. It looked like the stone door had been smeared with mud, creating a wall.

"Come quickly, there should be a room here, let's look for it." As they were hammering, some mud pieces fell off, revealing the stone door. Qiqi found a bulge under his feet and stepped on it.

"Brother Jingze, push the stone door and see if it opens."

Zhou Jingze pushed the door open and everyone was stunned. Inside was full of boxes. These boxes were placed on stones and painted with antiseptic oil to prevent the boxes from rotting.

Yun Ming and Zhou Jingze stepped forward and each opened a box, each containing neatly stacked gold and silver ingots. None of them spoke. Who had put these things there, and dug such a long underground passage? Was it to hide treasure? Or was it to allow robbers? There was no way to tell.

They opened several boxes in succession. It turned out that half of the boxes in the house were filled with gold ingots, and half of the boxes were filled with silver ingots.

Yun Ming asked, "Sister, who put so much gold and silver here? Aren't you afraid that the underground passage will leak and wash it away?"

"Hahaha, we've made a fortune, and the soldiers at the border city are blessed. They don't have to work so hard anymore. We'll ship these out and give them to my uncle, so he'll have money for his camp."

"Okay, let's ship it out and use it as military expenses for the military camp in the border city." Zhou Jingze also said.

"Brother-in-law, are you serious? All this gold and silver will be used as military expenses for the military camp. I thank you on behalf of the officers and soldiers. My uncle will jump for joy." Yun Ming said happily.

Qiqi looked at her brother's happy expression, and when she heard Zhou Jingze agree to give these things to the military camp, she laughed. What a blessing it was for them to encounter such a thing.

She said nothing and put all of this into her space. Hu Boyuan said nothing. Yun Ming saw the gold and silver disappear before his eyes.

"Sister, what happened? Why did the gold and silver disappear? Did it run away?" Yun Ming asked stutteringly.

"Brother, don't be nervous. I've put everything in my storage ring. I'll send it to the Marshal's Mansion as military expenses after I get out."

"Qiqi, let's keep searching to see if there are any other rooms. Let's see if there are any more surprises." Hu Boyuan guessed that since there was gold and silver, there must be other things as well. He then resumed his search.

Soon they opened another door, revealing boxes of jewels. Qiqi also put them into the space.

Then they found another room, and it was as if they had walked into a full arsenal of weapons, with swords, spears, axes, hooks, forks, and everything else neatly arranged.

They were all stunned. These weapons could equip an army of several thousand people. Who put these here? Was he trying to set up a private army?

"Qiqi, take all of these and give them to your uncle as weapons for the barracks." Zhou Jingze said with a smile. Although these were meaningless to them, they were treasures for the border troops.

Qiqi collected all of these into the space. They continued searching, but found no more rooms. They continued walking along the underground passage. The passage they were walking in slowly went up. As they walked quickly, they saw some weapons in the passage. Zhou Jingze put all of these into his ring.

They soon saw a ray of light shining into the passage. There was a lot of greenery covering the entrance to the cave. There was a tattered wooden door at the entrance, also wrapped in greenery. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know it was a cave.

Zhou Jingze stepped forward and slowly split the rotten wood of the wooden door with his sword. He took the lead and crawled out of the cave.

"Be careful, this is a big mountain, and there is a ditch below. There is no water now." After Zhou Jingze said this, he carefully helped Qiqi out.

Yunming and Hu Boyuan also emerged. They stood on a slope, the cave entrance hidden in a depression, surrounded by small shrubs and vines. Without careful observation, the entrance would be invisible. Even if it rained heavily, the water wouldn't easily flood here. This was a perfect hiding place.

Standing on the mountain, you can see the border city and its defenses at a glance. This place is more than ten miles away from the border city. If someone secretly stationed troops here, they could quickly break through the border city.

Zhou Jingze had also read some books that recorded border cities, and there was no record of anyone secretly stationing troops there.

"Brother Jingze, we have to set up a formation here. We can't let others know and use this passage. The defense city over there will be in danger. I don't want that to happen."

"Okay, I'll set up the formation. We still have to go in here and explore another passage. You go in first, and I'll go in after I finish setting it up. Then cover it with these vines so that others can't find it." Zhou Jingze replied.

Qiqi, her senior brother, and her older brother all entered the underground passage. Zhou Jingze began to set up the formation. After a long time, the formation was formed. He then entered and covered it with green plants.

They soon reached the point where they had entered the underground passage and headed down the other side.

They also saw a few weapons in the passage, which were all collected by Zhou Jingze. They did not find any rooms here. Hu Boyuan released his spiritual consciousness and could see the whole picture inside.
