Lin Qiye understood what he meant and stood up after thanking him repeatedly.

This question and answer session has opened his eyes and made him suddenly enlightened.

But how to solve this maze?
Thinking of this, he walked under the tree and looked up at the fluttering butterflies.

They seem to have spirits, appearing and disappearing among the branches and leaves, refusing to show themselves completely.

"Let me try."

He walked forward in an instant, took out a jade flute from his sleeve, and blew it gently towards the flock of butterflies.

The melodious tune echoed in the air, like a cry.

Those colorful butterflies seemed to be inspired and gradually flew out from the treetops and fluttered towards this side.

A moment later, they were circling around Lin Qiye and the others, slowly outlining an extremely complex maze pattern.

"This is it!"

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up and he quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the complicated routes one by one.

Others also gathered around and looked at it carefully.

"It's amazing. These butterflies are just like puppets, at the mercy of others." Cheng Long exclaimed sincerely.

"Marionette. That's right!"

Lin Qiye's mind suddenly lit up and his eyes fell on a corner of the treetop.

I saw a very thin long thread hidden under the layers of branches and leaves!
As the butterflies fluttered, they were pulled by the thread one by one, thus drawing the shape of a maze!
It turns out the truth is here!
"I admire you."

An also nodded repeatedly and praised: "Such an ingenious mechanism can only be thought of by the royal craftsmen. If it weren't for your keen eyes, I'm afraid we would have to keep wandering here for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another commotion.

When they looked up, they discovered that the colorful butterfly that had previously rested on the ground had quietly disappeared into the branches and leaves, without a trace.

"Let's go. We have already figured out the secret of this maze. What are we waiting for now? The western border is in sight, and our goal is directly the imperial mausoleum!"

After saying this, Lin Qiye strode forward with great strides, looking very excited.

The rest of the people followed closely behind, full of fighting spirit.

[Oh my god! I didn’t expect the key clues to be hidden in those broken butterflies! Inspector Lin’s vision is second to none!]

[That’s right! If he hadn’t found the thread in time, who knows how much more time would have been wasted!]

[As expected of our leader! We have to rely on him at critical moments! With him around, why worry about not being able to find the West Frontier?]

[Tsk, I don't think so! That old man doesn't seem to be a good person at first glance. Who knows if he is trying to confuse people or mislead them intentionally?]

[Go away, go away, what nonsense are you talking about! How could a hermit like him harm them? Besides, if it was really a trap, wouldn’t Inspector Lin be able to see through it?]

[That’s right! At this critical moment, there is no time for random thoughts. Just follow Master Lin and overcome all obstacles along the way!]

[But what happens next? What if there is any danger along the way? I’m worried that Sister Mi and the others won’t be able to handle it!]

[Hehe, why are you bothering about this? Sister Mi is not an ordinary woman! With her around, even ghosts won't dare to act rashly!]

[Come on! With her limited abilities, if she were in real danger, wouldn’t she scream and cling to Inspector Lin tightly?]

[You bastard! You act like you are so outstanding! With your ugly appearance, Sister Renmi won't even look at you!]

[Believe it or not, I will rush into the live broadcast room right now, pounce on him, and pin Inspector Lin to the ground. With me here, I don’t care about any ghosts or monsters, I will beat them all to a pulp!] [Hahahaha, you are really good! How about trying it now? I guarantee that even Sister Mi will be moved by your bravery and will fall for you right there!]

Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

The expedition team also regrouped and set out on their journey.

We had to sleep in the open air and travel through mountains and rivers.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the colorful butterfly maze map, everyone was able to find the right direction among the layers of mountains.

About three days later, a desolate cave suddenly appeared in sight.

The rough bluestone and mottled moss exude a long-standing atmosphere of vicissitudes.

"This is it."

Lin Qiye stopped and looked intently.

"The Western Frontier Imperial Tomb is just around the corner!"

[Oh my god! They finally found the entrance to the imperial mausoleum! It was so hard!]

[That's right! It was a tough journey, and I almost had a heart attack! Fortunately, Inspector Lin was here, otherwise I don't know how many detours I would have to take!]

[That’s right! He is worthy of being our Seventh Brother! We have to rely on him at the critical moment! Now, the secret is just around the corner!]

[Tsk, I don’t think so! This hole looks evil, who knows what demons and monsters are inside! If anything goes wrong, it will be troublesome!]

[Go away, stop worrying! With Inspector Lin protecting us, it's easy to capture a cave. Besides, who is Grandpa An? How can a descendant of the royal family lose face in front of his own ancestral tomb?]

[Well, that's true, but I always feel like something is wrong. Look at the entrance of the cave, it's eerie and ominous. Maybe it's a trap or something.]

[Haha, you are indeed a conspiracy theorist! You can even think in a crooked way. I am impressed! If there really is some trick, how could Inspector Lin not see it?]

[That’s right! With the Qilin bloodline and the black gold ancient sword as double protection, a few broken traps can be exposed in minutes, right? Besides, there are Maoshan talismans to support me, so demons and ghosts can come whenever they want!]

[Oh my god! If this was Sister Mi, she would be so frightened that her face would turn pale and she would cling to Inspector Lin's arm tightly and not let go! If it were me, I would rush forward right now, and anyone who dared to stop me would be torn in half in a minute!]

[Come on, you? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? You think you are Michael Jackson? He is a real archaeological expert, who do you think you are?]

[What? If you have the guts, come and do it. My buddy is going to fight you. Let’s see who’s afraid of who! If we really want to fight, we’ll see! If there’s no winner after 300 rounds, I won’t even change my underwear!]

[Bah! You filthy rascal! You still have the nerve to pull up your pants! Sister Ren Mi is a beauty, how can a loser like you covet her? Believe it or not, I will make sure you don’t even have a chance to cry in a minute!]

At the same time, in the ancient cave, a group of people were waiting with bated breath.

Lin Qiye was the first to step into the cave and looked around vigilantly.

The air here is cold and damp, with a faint sense of ominousness.

The stone walls were covered with moss, spider webs and dust everywhere, and it was obvious that no one had set foot there for a long time.

The most disturbing part is deep in the cave.

It was pitch black, and no one knew where it led to, nor how many dangers it concealed.

"Be careful!"

An suddenly lowered his voice and his eyes were as sharp as torches.

It turned out that deep in the cave, there was a giant python lurking silently!
It was pitch black, several feet long, as thick as a bucket, spitting out red letters, and a pair of nostrils spewed out a fishy smell. (End of this chapter)
