Mo Bing led the group into a hidden corridor lit by several wall lamps. Halfway through, the path forked. One path led to a stone staircase extending downward, while the other ended in a huge bronze door.

Mo Bing: "I discovered this a few days ago. There's a mine down there. I saw someone carrying a box from downstairs to the bronze door. The gold must be stored inside this bronze door."

When they arrived at the bronze door, they realized how majestic it was. It was three feet high and two feet wide, engraved with ancient lotus patterns. People standing beneath it looked incredibly small.

Mo Bing put Mo Xue down, looking very proud: "If there really is a room full of gold in here, we can move it all out and give it to the master, and then the master won't have to worry about military pay anymore."

Mo Yu tapped Mo Bing's head with his fingers: "You are quite capable. Let me see how you will move away later."

But despite the joking, everyone's faces showed excitement.

Several people came to the bronze door and put their hands on it. Even Mo Xue and Doctor Ma joined in.

Moyu counted one, two, three. Everyone strained with all their might, their veins bulging from the strain, but the door didn't budge at all.

Mo Yu said: "Don't bother, this is a trap door, only the trap can open it."

Mo Yun asked Mo Bing, "Why did you bring us here? Even if there's a room full of gold, we can't get it out! Shouldn't we escape and find our master now?"

Mo Yu felt that what Mo Bing said made sense: "This gold is indeed useful, but we have to be able to get out first before we can hand the gold over to the master."

Mo Bing scratched his head. "Actually, I've never been in here. The security here is usually very strict. But I guess there must be a door out. I've observed people carrying boxes out of the mine, and they never came out after entering here. I guess there must be a way out."

Mo Yu thought for a moment and said, "We haven't seen any guards along the way. Maybe there really is a way out here."

Mo Feng: "Then what are you waiting for? Brothers, hurry up and find the switch!"

Without Moyu's instructions, everyone dispersed to search for the mechanism. Each person was responsible for a section, carefully exploring the stone wall bit by bit, not missing a single inch.

Only Mo Xue, unable to stand for long, could find a corner to stay. He sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning back in boredom. Who could have imagined that the stone wall behind him suddenly moved, and a large part of it sank in.

There was a rattling sound coming from behind the wall.

"Moxue, be careful!"

The rock wall behind Mo Xue caved in. Mo Xue's leg was injured, but his body was very flexible. He rolled sideways, used his hands to push against the ground, and used the force to bounce out. Mo Yu leaped up and caught him, placing him on the safe ground.

After a series of clattering sounds of iron chains rubbing against each other, the entire wall behind him caved in, revealing a stone door. The door was lifted up by a huge pulling force, and behind the door was a cave.

Everyone looked at each other, hesitating whether to go in.

Mo Yu said: "I'll go explore the way, you guys wait here."

Mu Yun stopped him: "Boss, you can't go, I'll go!"

Mo Bing was one step ahead of them. He took down a wall lamp from the wall and turned around to step into the cave.

Just as Mo Yun was about to stop him, Mo Yu pulled him back: "Let him go! His Qinggong is better than ours, and he's the best at finding out."

Everyone only waited for a cup of tea before they heard Mo Bing's footsteps running back.

"Everyone follow me quickly, there is an exit here."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this and followed Mo Bing in. They were faced with another long corridor, which was very dark, with only the lamp in Mo Bing's hand to light it.

"Boss, that bronze door can't be opened at all. I don't think this bronze door and the secret room inside were built by Kang Shao and his team. I'm afraid they existed before this. I'm afraid that Kang Shao and his team's mining is just a cover. Their real purpose is to get the things inside the bronze door."

Everyone stared at Mo Bing in disbelief. He led them to a small stone chamber. It wasn't large, only about a hundred square meters. A dozen large boxes were stacked in the middle of the room. They opened each one and examined it. They found they were filled entirely with stone. Three walls were lined with wooden shelves, each covered in stone.

"What's going on? Why are there only stones?"

Doctor Ma remained silent for a long time. He took the stone and looked at it. "Perhaps there is gold in this stone?"

Everyone glanced at him with disdain.

Mo Feng said dejectedly: "Damn! We were counting on this batch of gold to exchange for military pay! And here it is all stone."

"Then, what about the secret room behind the bronze door?"

Mo Bing led everyone out of the chamber and into the corridor. They continued walking along the corridor. They saw a huge hole dug in the stone wall ahead. The hole was two feet high and ten feet wide. They dug about three feet into the hole, but it seemed they encountered some resistance and could not dig any further.

Several people went into the cave to find out what was going on.

Mo Yun asked curiously, "Look, the stones inside seem different from those outside. I've never seen such a fine, smooth, and hard stone. What kind of stone is this?"

Doctor Ma also came over to take a look. He exclaimed in surprise, "Moonstone! I didn't expect the walls of this secret room to be made of moonstone. No wonder they couldn't dig through it."

Everyone blinked their ignorant eyes. They had indeed never heard of this kind of stone, no matter what kind of stone it was.

Mo Yu concluded: "So, this gold mine is basically an abandoned mine. No wonder it's weird. I couldn't tell what was wrong before, but now I finally understand.

If this is really a gold mine, those people in the capital would be fighting for it. How could they let someone like Kang Shao monopolize it?

Besides! It’s impossible that the guards here are so lax. It turns out there is no gold at all. The real treasure must be what’s inside the bronze door! Unfortunately, they can’t open it either.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mo Yun asked again: "Tell me, there are thousands of miners here, digging day and night, what are they digging for?"

Mo Yu touched the wall of the moonstone again. It was hard to guess. He must want to dig through this secret room from the bottom!

Mo Bing also asked curiously: "What do you think is hidden inside this bronze door?"

"Haha!" Everyone looked at him as if he was dumbfounded. Was there any need to ask?

Mo Yu said: "Stop talking nonsense and leave here quickly."

Mo Bing led them deeper into the tunnel. After about a quarter of an hour, they reached the end. There was a huge rock at the end, but they quickly found the mechanism.
