Chapter 8: Nine-story Demon Building

After the archaeological team finished rubbing the ancient cave inscriptions on the cliffs of the underground river and confirmed once again that the inscriptions on the jade that Fatty Wang was carrying were indeed the ancient cave inscriptions, the group crossed the river.
"Let's go!" Hu Bayi patted Zhang Lin and said, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Lin smiled and said: "Nothing, I was just thinking, if we run under the big glacier now, will we freeze into ice sculptures?"
Hu Bayi touched the wet clothes on his body. The environment here was very warm, so warm that Hu Bayi had forgotten that it was more than ten degrees below zero under the large glacier a hundred meters away.
"Don't say that!" Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "Why are you running outside when you are dressed properly?"
Zhang Lin smiled and followed the others to the nine-story demon tower, the largest ancient tomb under the Kunlun Glacier.
"what is that?"
Fatty Wang, who was the first to enter the nine-story demon tower, looked at the nine-story tower not far away and said, "Why are there so many corpses hanging up?"
Professor Chen squeezed in from behind, looked at the nine-story demon tower and explained: "This is the legendary nine-story demon tower, a unique funeral form for the kings of the ancient demon kingdom."
Fatty Wang said: "Professor Chen, do you think this is a big tomb?"
Hao Aiguo on the side said: "It's more than just a big tomb! It's also the emperor's palace. It's a cultural treasure of the ancient demonic kingdom. It's of great significance for investigation!"
Chu Jiandao: "I have seen a building similar to this one unearthed in Qinghai."
"That's right!" Professor Chen nodded and said, "It's a pity that after the demonic kingdom disappeared in ancient times, it was destroyed by the hero King Gesell. I didn't expect that there would be a complete nine-story demonic building here."
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the nine-story demon tower. The existence of this building under the Kunlun Glacier shows that an extremely powerful demon civilization once existed here.
Everything discovered here, if published, would be enough to write them into the history books.
As everyone was about to move forward, Zhang Lin stepped forward to stop them.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang!" Professor Chen looked at Zhang Linda in confusion and said, "What are you doing?"
"Look!" Zhang Lin gestured to everyone to look at the nine-story demon tower and said, "Is the light on the horse phosphorescent? If so, if we accidentally set it on fire as soon as we passed by, this historic site would probably be destroyed.
"
Professor Chen was speechless and said: "This..."
After listening to Zhang Lin's words, he didn't know how to respond, so he had to say: "Then let's be careful and try not to make any noise."
"It's not phosphorescence!" Shirley Yang, who was focusing her camera on the side to clearly see the situation in the demon building, turned to look at the crowd and said.
"That's good! That's good!" When Professor Chen heard that it was not phosphorescence, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Hu Badi: "Then we can go and investigate?"
Shirley Yang said: "No, those are not phosphorescence, they are something more terrifying!"
"What is it?" Hu Bayi took the camera in Sa Di Peng's hand, looked at the demon tower and exclaimed, "Fire ladybug!"
"Fire ladybug?" The uninformed Ye Yixin and others asked strangely: "Brother Hu, what is a fire ladybug?"
Hu Bayi explained: "A kind of fire-bearing insect, if it sticks to it, the bones will be burned into slag."
"Ah!" Chu Jiandao: "Are they just the ones above that are glowing?"
Ye Yixin said: "Isn't that the fact that the whole demon building is full of blue light is the fire ladybug?"
"Yes!" Hu Bayi said with a somewhat ugly face: "It's the kind of bugs I met before. We didn't meet them along the way. I thought we could escape this time, but to our surprise, we actually touched their lair.
"
"It's too dangerous here!" Hu Bayi put down the camera and looked at Professor Chen and said: "Professor Chen, we must leave here immediately, otherwise once those fire ladybugs are awakened, we will all be finished."
"This..." Professor Chen looked at the Demon Tower and said unwillingly: "Comrade Hu, look at how hard it is for us to get here, so just let us go and have a look. We won't talk, turn off all the equipment, and don't make any noise."
Just record the sound, take some photos and take them back for study..."
"This..." Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang. At this time, he had to look at the sponsor.
Shirley Yang looked at the nine-story demon building and nodded, agreeing with Professor Chen because she also wanted to go up there to find notes.
When Hu Ba saw this, he could only say: "Okay, but we only have half an hour. Remember, don't make any noise." Hu Ba pointed at the nine-layer demon covered with fire ladybugs.
Corridor: "If we wake them up, we won't be able to leave."
Everyone nodded solemnly, and after Hu Bayi agreed, they dispersed and began to investigate.
Zhang Lin and the other three were on alert. Wang Kaixuan nudged Zhang Lin and Hu Bayi, telling them to look ahead.
The two of them looked over and saw Shirley Yang climbing up the demon building. She was almost on the second floor, and her hands and feet were not as fast as usual.
When Hu Bayi saw this, he said: "Your boss, won't you protect her?"
Zhang Lin shrugged and said, "Isn't he your boss too? Why don't you go?" Then he walked to the entrance of the cave, as if you can solve it yourself and don't disturb me.
When Hu Ba saw this, he handed the weapon to the fat man and walked towards Shirley Yang.
Professor Chen and others were inspecting the burial pit below, while Naiwa continued to kneel down and worship the nine-story demon tower.
Hu Bayi was very lucky. He went to the Demon Tower behind Shirley Yang, but found the notebook before Shirley Yang.
Hu Bayi handed the notebook to Shirley Yang. The two of them carefully went downstairs and walked to Hao Aiguo, who was studying the matter that had been burnt by fire ladybugs, leaving only ashes.
"Do you think you can catch one with this thing?"
At the entrance of the cave, Zhang Lin and Fatty were cracking melon seeds. Looking at the people who were studying, Zhang Lin smiled and asked Fatty Wang.
"This thing?" Fatty Wang spat out the melon seed skin and said a little speechlessly: "What did you get it for?"
Zhang Lin gestured to the fat man to look at Chu Jian, who was studying the traces of ashes left on the ground after being attacked by fire ladybugs, and said: "Look, that bug burns people so thoroughly. You said that if we raise one, we can open a crematorium after we get out."
,How much money will it cost?"
"This little bug can save a lot of money on thermal power bills and machine maintenance costs. No equipment is needed. Just build a few morgues with cement, and then the labor costs may be saved."
"That's right!" Wang Kaixuan clapped his legs and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
When Wang Kaixuan heard that he could make money, he said: "But in our country, people are buried and cremation is rare, but it is very popular abroad.
The function of this thing is that even if you don’t build your own factory, it would cost a lot of money just to sell it!”
Zhang Lin raised his head, and Fatty Wang was calculating the feasibility. He completely forgot that Hu Bayi said on the train that fire ladybugs are evil things. If you burn one person, there will be one more.
If it were used to open a crematorium, it would probably burn everything in the world.
Zhang Lin and Wang Kaixuan chatted quietly while the archaeological team carefully inspected below.
Suddenly "click!"
There was a flash of light and a loud bang.
It broke the silence here.
"I remember I closed the shutter!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Sa Di Peng held the camera at a loss and wanted to cry.
However, it was too late to say anything at this time. Hu Bayi pulled Professor Chen and others out of the burial pit, and saw that many fire ladybugs had been awakened and were flying towards the group, so he reminded them: "We are still waiting.
What? Run!"
When the frightened people heard this, they ran away.
Hu Bayi broke up with Wang Kaixuan and followed the team.
"Where is Zhang Lin?" The two were running. When Hu Bayi saw that Zhang Lin was not in the crowd, he hurriedly asked Wang Kaixuan.
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he said angrily: "That grandson, as soon as Sa Di Peng's camera rang, he ran away. I'm afraid he has crossed the underground river now. If you have time to worry about him, you'd better worry about whether we can run through it first."
These are the deadly things behind!"
When Hu Bayi heard this, he couldn't help but blush. He really didn't expect Zhang Lin to be so straightforward when he was in danger. You know, their financial backer, Boss Shirley Yang, was still behind.
If the boss is gone, who will pay for this job?
The boss ran away, does he still have the face?
At this time, Hu Bayi couldn't think about that much. Several people ran to the underground river. Hu Bayi ran from behind and said, "Get in the water, everyone, get in the water quickly. These things are afraid of water."
When everyone heard this, they hurried into the water. The fat man running behind made a quick dive and dived into the river.
What a blessing. If he had been slower for a second, he would have been set on fire by those fire ladybugs.
Everyone dived into the bottom of the river, and the awakened fire ladybugs were hovering on the water. From time to time, a few ordinary moths plunged into the underground river like flying into a flame. After a while, the underground river was filled with corpses of fire ladybugs.
.
After about a minute, these persistent fire ladybugs saw no movement and flew back.
Everyone came out of the river one after another and swam to the bank where they came from.
"Is everyone okay?"
As the team leader, as soon as everyone landed, Hu Bayi counted the number of people and asked about the situation.
"fine!"
"fine!"
Everyone either made a sound or waved their hands, indicating that they were fine.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's take stock of our equipment. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to go back."
"Wait, where is Zhang Lin?" Shirley Yang looked around and frowned, "Has any of you seen it?"
"No..." "No..." Everyone knew each other and shook their heads. Professor Chen worriedly said: "Isn't he still behind?"
"Fat man? Are you sure he ran in front of you?" Seeing that everyone was in a low mood because of Ye Yixin's words, Hu Bayi once again asked Wang Kaixuan to confirm.
Wang Kaixuan, who was panting, heard the words, raised three fingers and swore: "Old Hu, I swear to God on the basis of our revolutionary friendship. I confirm that the grandson is indeed running ahead of us."
As he spoke, Wang Kaixuan waved his hands and said, "That grandson may have gone up to the big glacier."
After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It was wrong for Zhang Lin to abandon everyone and run alone, but this time no one died. Especially Sa Di Peng, who caused everything, heard that Zhang Lin might have gone up to the glacier, and his tense body relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
If someone dies this time, I'm afraid he will live with guilt for the rest of his life.
When everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, they suddenly remembered Zhang Lin's voice: "Damn fat man, you are my grandson. If you ruin my reputation behind my back again, I will slap you."
When everyone heard the news, they saw Zhang Linzheng standing at the entrance of the cave back to the glacier with a black line on his face, staring at Fatty Wang with an unkind expression.
When Fatty Wang saw this, he spoke sarcastically without any fear: "Say boy, you have Boss Yang's money in your hand, but you run away alone when you are in danger. What? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Hmph!" Zhang Lin snorted coldly: "This is a matter between me and Boss Yang. You don't need to worry about it. You'd better mind yourself!"
