Chen Yulou and other bandits from the Qiling Mountains were all impressed when they saw that the art of moving mountains and reclaiming seas was truly extraordinary.
Although this technique does not conform to the principle of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, it can make use of the restraint of the nature of all things in the world to drive away chickens and centipedes.
Now with the help of the chickens, apart from the big problem of poison, the treasures in the tomb are really easy to access.
※※
A group of chickens were chasing centipedes in the underground palace. Suddenly, the silent underground palace was filled with roosters, and there were roosters chasing centipedes everywhere. In an instant, thousands of centipedes died.
The mutual restraint between species in this world, the control of strength and weakness, is created by God, so they are called natural enemies.
Ordinary centipedes have black venom, but this Pingshan Ancient Tomb is a medicinal mountain, and the venom of centipedes of all sizes living in it is colorful, and some old centipedes have even more colorful venom.
Now driven by those chickens and birds into a corner, even in the face of natural enemies, although unable to spit out poison, they still risk their lives to fight for their lives.
In the continuous fierce fighting, dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled chickens were bitten to death by the centipedes. The poison of those centipedes was so strong that the poisoned chickens slowly turned into a pool of blood after a while.
.
Although the Pingshan Underground Palace is brightly lit, it does not see the light of day all year round and is extremely gloomy.
In addition, the ancients used to make elixirs here, and the centipedes here all fed on the remaining gold, stone, elixir, and mercury, and also devoured several other poisonous insects. As a result, the centipedes were not only fat but also extremely poisonous.
Moreover, these centipedes are entrenched in the underground palace of Pingshan, hiding day and night, so they have few natural enemies.
In addition, after the Yuan people used this as a tomb, hundreds of years have passed and no one has taken care of the underground palace. It is unknown how many centipedes have reproduced here.
At first, these centipedes were chased by their natural enemies and they just ran away individually. However, they were so pressed by the chickens that they actually started to fight like trapped animals and got out from the gaps in the palace pillars. Three or four centipedes fought together to fight a rooster.
Suddenly, the ground among the several major halls of the underground palace was covered with the pus of dead chickens and the carcasses of dead centipedes, and the rest of the living were still fighting to the death with red eyes.
The thieves were all ruthless thieves, and the engineers also included many warriors who had been on the battlefield, but the bloodshed they had seen in their lives seemed to be nothing compared to the fierce fight between the chickens and the tomb centipede before them.
This was not one or two, nor ten or eight, but thousands of centipedes and thousands of roosters, large and small, fighting in a bloody battle. The murderous aura was so intense that the lamps and candlelights dimmed one after another.
It's true: an iron horse with a strong sword, and a tiger that can swallow up thousands of miles.
Those roosters are aggressive by nature, and when they see their mortal enemy, their feathers will stand on end, and they will kill the enemy.
And those centipedes were also being chased in a hurry. As long as they heard the crow of the cock, they would not be able to survive even if they hid in the rock crevices. They had no choice but to risk their lives to die with their natural enemies. In the fierce fight under the flickering lights and candles, both sides unexpectedly
Not one of them even took a step back, and they were locked in a difficult fight for a while.
Some of the timid thieves among the group of thieves turned pale when they saw this formation.
Chen Yulou felt bad. Looking at the momentum, Centipede and the chickens didn't know who would win and who would lose. If they had known better, they would have brought more roosters into the mountain.
Partridge Whistle has also been watching from the sidelines. The Angry Chicken he carries on his back has always been hidden in the bamboo house and refuses to be released. He will never let it out to fight until the six-winged old centipede, which is about to become a spirit, appears.
Trapped in a bamboo basket, it accumulates its anger.
But now the Partridge Whistle saw that the large group of chickens could not gain the upper hand. Instead, more and more of them were bitten and poisoned by centipedes, so he had no choice but to slap the bamboo basket behind him with his hand and release the Angry Chicken.
The high-pitched crow of the golden rooster shrouded the surroundings of the hall. When those centipedes who were fighting for their lives heard the crow, they were all frightened and trembled, as if they suddenly lost their souls. They all froze, their feet and legs shaking.
Those who were climbing on the pillars and stone walls of the palace also fell down and were caught up and pecked to death by nearby roosters.
The centipede, which originally had the upper hand, was instantly defeated by the Angry Chicken and its flock.
Chen Yulou, Luo Laowai, the gang of thieves, etc. were all overjoyed when they saw that the situation was reversed.
Luo Laowai even praised Partridge Whistle: "Brother Partridge Whistle, this skill of moving mountains is well-deserved. His grandmother's, I used to obey Mr. Chen, and later the Taoist priest, now I have to add a brother to him."
You are."
The partridge whistle smiled when he heard this and said he didn't dare, like Luo Shuai and Miao Zan.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Chen Yulou waved to the hundreds of men behind him and shouted: "Young men...if you want to make a fortune, just follow Grandpa and make a fortune!"
Hearing this, nearly a thousand thieves and engineers followed Chen Yulou, the helmsman, holding high torches and divided into several groups, like flowing fire dragons, stepping on the stone steps and stone bridge in front of the hall.
Everyone crowded into the first major hall, where most of the centipedes had been eliminated. The chickens were driven in by the thieves who came in, and then rushed into the back hall to continue chasing the remaining poisonous insects.
The group of thieves each pulled out their firearms, dug shovels, and patched up any centipedes that were still alive.
Chen Yulou also ordered the thieves to sprinkle lime on the places they passed to prevent the escaped centipedes from counterattack.
Under the leadership of Chen Yulou, everyone entered the outermost hall with swords and guns in hand.
There were also eight-treasure glazed lamps hanging inside, about half of which were still burning. When the torches shone on the lamps, the light and shadow in the hall became blurry.
There is only one red lacquered pillar in this hall, which is supported by eighteen beams and citrus. It is rare in ancient palace architecture: one pillar and eighteen beams.
The main hall in the Dan Palace should have pillars but no beams, which means the immeasurable immortal method, so it is called the Wuliang Hall.
In the front hall with one pillar and eighteen beams, there are many paintings of gods and goddesses on the walls, which are inlaid with many decorative jewels and jade, which are reflected by the firelight and appear to be brilliant and shining, making the thieves stare straight at the sight.
Luo Laowai asked Chen Yulou how to do it.
Chen Yulou looked at it and said: "Brothers, now that the world is in chaos, how can there be any honest business in the world? In order to divide the evil and gather righteousness, everything can be done.
This is called - heroes everywhere, with a gun is the grass-headed king. It is the time for our Changsheng Mountain to prosper. What we are doing is to unearth ancient tombs for ancient artifacts. Now that we are here, there is no need to do anything.
Take care of it and dig out everything valuable, and don’t leave anything behind."
The Xiling bandits were not like those who only took one or two things from a tomb like the gold captain, but they also paid attention to the way of advance and retreat.
There are more than 100,000 brothers on Changsheng Mountain, and there are not enough bright weapons to fill everyone's teeth.
Now that the helmsman had spoken, what did the thieves below have to be embarrassed about? They immediately sent out their hands to use shovels to scrape the pearls on the wall.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle said: "Actually, the truly valuable treasures in this palace had been looted by Yuan soldiers long ago, and the rest seemed like nothing at the time.
But time has changed, and hundreds of years have passed, and these ancient relics have become treasures."
The Partridge Whistle nodded when he heard this. When Luo Laowai saw so many treasures, he had already smiled crookedly.
Directing his men to scrape gold buttons and jade everywhere.
There are several leaders among the Xiling bandits, all of whom are the confidants of the bandit leader and are also experienced in back-and-forth fights.
Chen Yulou asked them to split up and direct his brothers to move the gold and beads. Although it was not messy, it was orderly.
However, Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others did not stop, and led a large group of people through the hall and went straight to the palace at the back.
Along the way, there were dead centipedes everywhere. Even if they were already dead, there were probably over 10,000 of them, which made everyone feel very anxious.
However, the group of thieves were extremely daring due to their large numbers. They immediately swarmed up and after passing through several halls, they found themselves at the highest point of the Wuliang Hall.
Wuliang is in a cave. In front of the palace is a wide platform, surrounded by hollow white marble railings. Behind it is the dark blue rock in the mountain, sealing off the apse behind the main hall of Wuliang Palace. Based on the palace structure, it is inferred
, the back hall is where Chen Yulou and others descended from the crack in the mountain when they first visited Pingshan.
There was no coffin for the tomb owner in any of these halls. It was expected that it must be in the Wuliang Hall of the Dan Palace in front of them. The thieves thought of the rumors of Xiangxi Corpse King, and Li Liu was unavoidable in their hearts.
Following Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, he walked onto the platform in front of the hall.
I saw hundreds of big roosters covered in blood on the platform, fighting around the remaining centipedes. There happened to be an arch bridge next to it, and under the bridge was a bottomless pool.
There should have been a fountain gushing out of the pool before, flowing from the top through the pavilions and corridors to the outside of the mountain, adding to the artistic conception of mountains, rivers, forests and springs in the Dan Palace.
But now the spring water has dried up long ago, leaving only an empty pool and a black hole sinking on the hillside in front of the temple.
The group of thieves were about to go forward and kill the remaining centipedes, big and small, when Partridge Whistle suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was busy grabbing something in his sleeves, knowing that there was a murderous intention ahead. He looked up and saw several thieves walking onto the bridge, and quickly called out
Said: "Quickly retreat!"
Chen Yulou also heard something strange in the depths of the dry pond, but it was too late when he and Partridge Whistle issued a warning, and suddenly heard a burst of "crashing" sound below.
The six-winged centipede that Zhang Lin had driven away had already swam up the stone wall.
The stone bridge was narrow, and the centipede came so fast and fiercely that the few people walking on the bridge had no way to dodge. When they were rolled up by the centipede, they fell off the stone bridge and died screaming among the rocks at the bottom of the dry pond.
The shrill screams and the sound of bones breaking came from underneath, echoing repeatedly in the palace caves. The faces of the thieves suddenly changed in horror. The thieves standing in the front row shouted and wanted to raise their guns to shoot. When they entered the ancient tomb,
, the bullets in the gun were already loaded, and the row of guns fired at it randomly, and at least a few holes were shot out of it.
But the Partridge Whistle saw a six-winged centipede crawling on the side of the stone bridge. If the guns were fired randomly, not only would it be difficult to kill the big centipede, but the few surviving people on the bridge, including Hua Ling, would be killed.
its
Shield, you must not shoot randomly at this time. He quickly raised his hand to deflect the muzzles of the thieves in the front row. There was no time to shoot. "Pap-pap-pap", a row of random guns hit the heads of several people on the bridge.
Shot it over.
Chen Yulou also shouted urgently: "Don't shoot and hurt your brother!"
When the thieves heard the leader's greeting, they pressed down the muzzle of their guns. Some of the less courageous engineers saw the reason and turned around and ran away. The pistol company mixed in with the thieves was responsible for shooting these deserters. Immediately there were several
The first person to escape was shot dead on the spot, and there was a sudden chaos in the crowd.
