After receiving Chen Yulou's order, the group of twenty or thirty thieves spread out and searched from one side to the other of the collapsed roof of the palace, but they could not see the two figures. The two living people were nowhere to be seen.
, there was no body left. But not long ago, they shot loud arrows from the bottom of the valley as a signal. If something happened during the time when the thieves came down, Chen Yulou thought to himself that his ears were very sensitive, and there was no way he could pick up the sound here.
No movement could be heard in the rift valley.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but cursed in his heart: this bottle mountain is a mountain of medicine and should not be taken lightly.
It's okay if nothing happens in the ancient tomb, but if something happens, it will be ruthless. Thinking of this, the gloominess of the underground palace is even more chilling.
Chen Yulou stood on the edge of the roof of the palace and could see that the caves behind the palace were blocked by stone strips, surrounded by well railings and corridors, and rockeries made of lake rocks, like a garden, with a lot of stinky sewage accumulating in the recesses.
There is a lot of rotten wood piled up.
There were many stone troughs built on the roof of the cave. I don't know what they were used for.
At this time, one of the searching thieves saw a centipede hanging on the ladder at the entrance of the cave and informed Chen Yulou.
As soon as everyone saw it, they knew it was used by the two people who came down first. Chen Yulou ordered the thieves to drop an inch of phosphorus and take a look.
When the thieves heard this, they threw the phosphorus down.
The phosphorous fire burned the dark hall brightly, and I saw the red lacquer pillars in the hall, which was magnificent and magnificent. It was not much compared to the palace, but the phosphorus could only illuminate for a moment. Before everyone could take a closer look, they all
It went out.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou moved his hand, and the thieves immediately went down the stairs one by one and arrived inside the side hall.
Although the air in the palace was well ventilated, the thieves still brought pigeon cages with white pigeons in them in order to guard against poisonous mirages.
As soon as they entered the hall, the pigeon in the cage seemed to be frightened and kept fluttering. Everyone looked at each other with their hearts in their throats. When they held up the lanterns and shone in the hall, they immediately noticed that something was wrong. Please ask me below.
The leader Chen Yulou went to check.
Chen Yulou held Xiaoshenfeng upside down and was about to lead people down, when suddenly a hand grabbed him.
Such a turn of events shocked Chen Yulou. He immediately slashed the small Shen Feng that he held upside down to the right. When he saw that it was Zhang Lin, he had to hold back his strength. He was knocked off guard and almost fell down.
Chen Yulou was not very angry and asked doubtfully: "Taoist Master Xiaoyao, weren't you up there? Why did you come down?"
Zhang Lin just shook his head, looked at the side hall below, frowned and said: "Let them come up quickly, there is danger down there."
When Chen Yulou heard this, he thought that the two people who came down first could not see their bodies alive or dead. Now that he heard what Zhang Lin said, he immediately believed it.
He secretly thought: Since Zhang Lin has come down, no matter whether the side hall is in danger or not, let everyone come up first. With Zhang Lin's skills, everyone can make plans.
So he issued an order for the thieves below to quickly return to the roof of the side hall.
The group of eavesdroppers listened to the order and withdrew one after another, each standing around Chen Yulou.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou said: "Taoist Priest, you said there is danger, what kind of danger is it?"
Someone among the group of thieves who had just gone down said: "Commander, I think the Taoist priest is right. When we were down there, we saw that there were no coffins or traps in the hall. There were only some armors, swords, spears, bows, shields, axes and arrows.
Weapons and dozens of saddles.
The clothes, shoes and socks of Saihuo Monkey and Dilibo were spread flat on the ground, and their clothes were not unbuttoned."
"Yes, we also saw that the pigeon cage they brought was thrown aside. The cage door was closed tightly. There was no damage, but the pigeons inside were gone."
When Chen Yulou heard this, didn't this situation fit in with the legend of the place where corpses were removed from Pingshan Mountain? When a corpse enters this mountain, it will turn into a cloud of yin energy. Is it possible that such evil things really exist in the world? If you walk too much at night, you will really encounter ghosts.
Is it a success?
But seeing Zhang Lin beside him, this mysterious Taoist was here, which made him feel at ease inexplicably.
At the moment, he didn't care about the leader's face. Anyway, everyone knew that Zhang Lin was entrusted by his old man to protect him, so he directly asked for advice: "Taoist Priest, do you think it is really possible to remove corpses in this world? How can it be like this here?
Evil nature?"
Zhang Lin frowned and asked the bandits who were going down: "Are there any signs of fire in the palace?"
When the thieves heard this, they shook their heads and said, "No... no..."
Zhang Lin heard this and said: "It seems that you can't deal with the evil monsters here. Everyone, hurry up and I'll wait for you."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Chen Yulou.
When Chen Yulou saw the thieves looking at him, his face-saving personality came back to him.
After this trip, I didn't catch anything, and I even broke two good hands for no reason. If I went up like this, wouldn't it make Na Luo Laowai laugh in his heart?
Immediately he said: "Taoist Master, let's come down and go up in despair, regardless of whether we got the goods or not. We killed two brothers for no reason. We don't even know how they died. How can we explain to everyone?"
?”
Zhang Lin said angrily: "Check it out? Mr. Chen is in charge. If you don't take people away and wait for a while, I'm afraid you will be like those two people who died for nothing."
You said that if you stay here and the people above you go back after not seeing you for a long time, they will come down to look for you. I am afraid that this bottomless pit will bury the entire Xiling here.
It doesn't matter what the priority is. Mr. Chen will weigh his head by himself. I'm waiting for fifteen breaths. If you don't leave, I will go up."
Chen Yulou felt a little annoyed when he saw that Zhang Lin was cheating on his words, so he immediately jumped into the side hall from the entrance of the cave to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the two people.
At this time, several people in the group of thieves asked: "What is so hot?"
When he reached out and touched it, he saw that it was the peace charms that Zhang Lin had sold. They were like flickering candles, uncertain in light and dark, but getting brighter and brighter.
The group of thieves were very surprised and felt that it was new. There were a few strangers who came closer, apparently intending to study something.
When Zhang Lin saw this, he cursed in his heart: What a bunch of fucking desperadoes. Those two people might have been warned by the safety charm, and they acted like this to prevent them from escaping.
Then he yelled, "You pigs, that's a safety charm. When it lights up, it means there's danger. If you don't run for your life, you're still looking at me!"
After hearing this, the group of thieves remembered what Zhang Lin said when selling the talisman, and also thought of the two missing people. At that moment, the souls of the dead were in panic, and they all ran towards the mountain wall without waiting for Chen Yulou's order.
There was no way around this place, and the only way out was the centipede-hanging ladder on the mountain wall.
When everyone arrived at the mountain wall, Chen Yulou heard a sudden "swish, swish, swish" sound in the gloomy hall.
The movement was extremely strange. Before I thought much about it, I saw more than a hundred large centipedes with colorful patterns, all four or five inches long. Transparent saliva flowed from their mouths, and they all crawled out of the collapsed hole.
.
Those centipedes had bright red stripes on their bodies and shiny black shells. They were extremely poisonous at first glance. After a while, they were crawling all over the roof of the side hall, but they were lingering three feet away.
I don’t know what to be afraid of.
The group of thieves saw this strange thing and saw centipedes and poisonous insects all over the roof of the palace. They had already forgotten their leader and scrambled to climb up.
Only Chen Yulou, Miss Hong, and Kunlun Moller stood behind Zhang Lin, looking at the centipedes.
Miss Hong saw several places of lime in the distance, and all the centipedes and poisonous insects avoided them. She suddenly thought: "It's lime!"
As he spoke, he bent down, picked up a small half bag of lime from the ground and spread it along the cliff, avoiding all the poisonous insects.
Immediately he said with great joy: "Boss, come on!"
Chen Yulou nodded when he saw this, and now he took five steps as three steps. With one step under his feet, he rushed to the edge of the cliff with meteoric strides, followed the centipede ladder, and climbed up.
Kunlun Moller followed closely and climbed up.
"Taoist Master, let's go!"
Miss Hong picked up a few more bags of lime that had not been spread out to separate the cliff from the poisonous insects to prevent them from chasing up the cliff. She was about to climb up the Centipede Hanging Ladder.
But seeing Zhang Lin still looking at the centipedes, he said hello.
Zhang Lin nodded when he heard this and slowly retreated to the cliff.
When Miss Hong saw Zhang Lin approaching, she didn't care, so she quickly climbed up with extremely agility.
But if she looked back, she would see that when Zhang Lin took a step back, those poisonous centipedes took a step forward, not afraid of the lime powder at all.
When Zhang Lin retreated to the edge of the cliff, the poisonous insects seemed to be impatient and started spitting venom forward, as if they wanted to use the poison to keep Zhang Lin behind.
When Zhang Lin saw this, he smiled disdainfully.
He waved his hand forward and set off a gust of wind, blowing the lime powder into the pile of poisonous insects.
The poisonous centipede crawled on the lime layer and did not inhale the lime powder, so it was not afraid. But at this time, Zhang Lin spread the lime powder around, and many poisonous insects inhaled it and died suddenly on the spot.
But Zhang Lin didn't stop yet. He made a sword finger with his hand, and several talismans floated in front of him.
Zhang Lin waved his hand, and several walls of fire appeared, completely cutting off the poisonous insects' pursuit. He walked aside, picked up the rope hanging on the cliff, and used its strength to jump four or five meters.
After reaching a height of about ten meters, the wall of fire below had dispersed, and the poisonous insects seemed unwilling to give in and desperately tried to climb up.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin threw out a dozen more talismans.
This time, the wooden talisman and the fire talisman were used together. In an instant, a huge fire ball was formed in mid-air, about ten meters in diameter.
Zhang Lin added a few more earth talismans to it, instantly.
The talisman paper that mixed the three attributes of wood, fire, and earth formed like a meteorite and smashed straight into the side hall.
At that moment, another big hole was made in the side hall, and countless poisonous insects and centipedes on the roof fell into it. The side hall was originally made of wood as the main structure, and there were many objects in it, but it was smashed into it by the big fireball falling from the sky.
The side hall was suddenly engulfed in flames, and swarms of centipedes were burned to death in it. Only the whole mountainside was burned with flames reaching into the sky.
Seeing this, the group of thieves who were climbing in the mountain stream couldn't help but relax, and they all thought to themselves: With such a fire, all those centipedes and poisonous insects will be buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, but they can't be chased. I don't know which brother has the skills to actually think of such a plan. It's a pity.
Even if the utensils in the palace were saved after the fire, they would not be worth much if dug out.
The thieves thought and climbed up individually.
Zhang Lin's fire burned the poisonous nest upside down.
The scorching sea of ​​fire caused the poisonous insects lurking here to crawl out and run for their lives in all directions.
These poisonous centipedes, which like yin and hate yang, are now crawling all over the ravines and cliffs. They have few legs and are scrambling to get out of this hellish sea of ​​fire.
Originally they were the ones chasing Chen Yulou and his entourage: they were as anxious as a bereaved dog and as busy as a fish that slipped through the net. Now they were running around on their own, with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
