The lower space of Nishinomon Subway Station is very huge, and the underground passage we usually walk through when transferring to the subway is just the tip of the iceberg.
Coming down from the tunnel, this unfamiliar space is almost suffocating. The last time I came here, I deeply realized the hugeness and terror of the underground fortifications of Sijiu City.
The architecture here is exquisite. It is said that the architectural style and overall framework of the first generation were completed by Yao Guangxiao, who used skilled craftsmen from all over the world.
To talk about these miracles, we still have to push them back to the feudal period. At that time, the craftsmen really used their lives to complete their work. If the completion was slightly flawed, it would be beheading at least, or the Yi tribe would be exterminated.
event.
So in ancient times, there was the Great Wall, Epang Palace, Dujiangyan, and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin.
After leading everyone into the underground of the West Gate, we all moved very cautiously. Although we have not seen the whereabouts of the Ghost Mother yet, no one can guarantee whether the Ghost Mother is hiding in the dark and quietly watching us.
The enemy is cunning and ferocious. Although we are experienced, we dare not neglect it. Tonight is destined to be a milestone in the underworld of Sijiu City, and regardless of success or failure, our names will remain on it.
I still walked at the front, followed by Lao Mao and my second uncle. The physical condition of Dahuang and Songhe Immortal were not very good, so they had to walk in the middle of the team to get the best protection.
It was still Emperor Jianwen who raided the formation. This kind of dirty work should not have been undertaken by the noble Lord of the Underground Palace, but Emperor Jianwen insisted on doing this, so we did not get too entangled in this small matter.
There were waves of dark wind blowing from the depths of the underground palace in the distance. When we heard the wind, instead of feeling scary, we felt more at ease. If the environment here was peaceful and quiet, we should feel scared.
Soon, we reached the lowest end of the entire underground building, which is the tunnel leading to the underground palace. In fact, the distance from the underground palace to Guisuo was not too long at all. The ghost mother and the others could have occupied the underground palace on the first day
Just coming here, but they didn't do this, this shows a problem, that is, they are preparing something.
What exactly are you preparing? I still can’t think of it.
I have not forgotten the group of terrifying ghosts that followed the Ghost Mother when she headed towards Sijiu City. If the Ghost Mother was willing, she could really kill the city by herself.
We found a small, sheltered side road at the entrance of the underground palace tunnel and hid. My second uncle took out a pack of cigarettes and gave them to me and the old cat. The three of us lit up the cigarettes and started smoking while pretending to be calm.
Immortal Songhe smiled and said: "You three have really good psychological quality. At this critical moment, you are still in the mood to smoke?"
The second uncle smiled and said, "What's the point? You could even die, so what else is there to be afraid of?"
However, the old cat was more aware: "I didn't want to smoke at first, but when I thought that if I really died soon, it would be the last time I smoked in my life, so I'd better have one first."
Immortal Songhe chuckled: "Kitty cat, considering your young age, what you say is quite mature."
When the old cat heard this, Songhe Immortal actually called him "kitten", and he couldn't laugh or cry at once.
It's not like the old cat's name has never been tampered with by others. The crazy Taoist changed it to "Cat Cub", which was already unique and original. Now Songhe Immortal has changed it to "Kitten", which is even more amazing.
At this time, Immortal Songhe suddenly raised his head and glanced at his second uncle: "Second Master, I have to trouble you about something."
When the second uncle heard this, Immortal Songhe spoke seriously. He nodded quickly and said, "Immortal, we are old friends. Please don't be so polite."
Immortal Songhe smiled slightly: "If I die, let me cut off my mantle."
In one sentence, it is simple but shocking.
The second uncle was startled: "What do you mean?"
Immortal Songhe smiled bitterly: "I have never had many apprentices in my life. The few I finally picked out couldn't survive me, and they all left before me. The latest apprentice is really... a bit
It’s unsatisfactory, and I can’t harm others anymore. If I die here, you can help me erect a monument, and from now on, I will be regarded as if my lineage has been cut off.”
When I said this, I had already guessed that Immortal Songhe knew about Lin Song.
These words are tragic and desolate. The immortal ended up like this in his later years.
The second uncle thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Immortal Songhe's request. Immortal Songhe was not polite, smiled, and said no more.
Dahuang doesn't have that much literary and artistic sentiment, he just sits there and rests by himself.
Xiaofeng always stared at me with a pair of big eyes.
I vaguely felt that Xiaofeng had something to say to me, but before I could ask, Emperor Jianwen suddenly whispered: "Everyone, be careful, the underground palace door is open."
In fact, just at that moment, I felt a dark wind blowing slowly towards me from deep in the underground palace, but the wind was not too strong, so I didn’t pay much attention. However, Emperor Jianwen explained in a low voice:
Said: "When the underground palace opens, the wind force in the tunnel will change vaguely, and based on this continuous change in wind force, we can also infer how long the underground palace door has been open, and thus we can roughly estimate how many people have come out of the underground palace."
"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked by Emperor Jianwen's powerful calculation ability and his understanding of the underground palace. It was indeed the right choice to bring the real owner of the underground palace here.
I was still waiting for Emperor Jianwen to continue explaining, but I found that Emperor Jianwen's expression suddenly changed. He stood up gently from the ground, stared at the tunnel with his eyes, and did not continue to speak for a long time.
"What's wrong, Emperor Jianwen?" I couldn't help but ask.
Emperor Jianwen frowned and whispered: "This is impossible..."
This is impossible?
Before I had time to ask again, Emperor Jianwen continued to mutter: "There are not so many people in the underground palace."
I understood it as soon as I heard it. Emperor Jianwen estimated how many people the Ghost Mother had brought out from the underground palace through the change in the wind when the underground palace opened!
What Emperor Jianwen didn't expect was that there shouldn't be so many people in this underground palace at all!
"How many are there?" I asked quickly.
Emperor Jianwen shook his head and said: "This is impossible, I may have made a mistake in my estimation."
"You should tell us and let us listen." I was a little anxious.
Emperor Jianwen frowned and said in a deep voice: "At least five thousand people came out this time, and there are not so many people left in our entire underground palace. This is absolutely impossible to happen."
Five thousand people! What a concept! The 400-meter playground can be filled with people!
And where did so many people come from? Emperor Jianwen had already said that it was impossible for there to be so many people in the underground palace.
I suddenly remembered that when the Ghost Mother first came to Sijiu City, she was followed by countless resentful ghosts... My mother, is this Ghost Mother proficient in summoning?
The old cat frowned, and the second uncle also looked embarrassed. Yes, our current combat effectiveness is indeed much higher than before, but these five thousand ghosts are really a huge number. To them, the few of us are basically like a mantis.
, we are no match for them.
No matter what ability or level these evil ghosts have, in terms of numbers, they have already had the same crushing effect on us.
Emperor Jianwen said in a deep voice: "In any case, it is definitely impossible for so many evil ghosts to appear in the underground palace. These evil ghosts are most likely recruited from outside by the ghost mother. What we have to face now is an extremely large army."
We nodded and looked at the increasingly gloomy tunnel. Immortal Songhe asked: "Should we confront them head-on or retreat temporarily? With a team of five thousand people, we are definitely no match."
However, before these words were finished, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the tunnel: "Since you are here, then don't leave. Wouldn't it be a good thing to stay here and become one of them?"
This is the voice of the white-robed Emperor.
Sure enough, a tall horse suddenly walked out of the tunnel, riding on it was a fierce ghost in a white robe. It was the great conspirator who captured Emperor Jianwen's underground palace: Emperor in White!
