Zhang Shaozong and Chen Yulou climbed up the Centipede Hanging Stairway together, and then continued down the ladder. The entire cliff turned completely downward at 90 degrees, and there was no bottom. People who are afraid of heights will definitely feel weak in the legs just looking at it.
Not to mention climbing down this centipede ladder.
Walking a hundred meters down from the cliff mouth, the surrounding area begins to become shrouded in fog, and the surrounding stone walls become moist. Going a little further down, the line of sight above your head is completely blocked by the fog. People above the cliff mouth of the canyon cannot see the people below.
, people below can’t see clearly from above either.
Where the fog is thickest, the visibility to the naked eye for ordinary people is less than ten meters. However, as we go deeper into the bottom, the thick fog slowly begins to weaken, but the visibility becomes lower and lower, because as we get deeper and deeper, even though the fog weakens,
The light is dark.
The entire canyon is too deep. It is at least hundreds of feet down from the top. At the bottom, there is no sunlight all year round. Even during the day, it is no different from night.
The people unloading the mountain took out the torches they had prepared and lit them for lighting.
After a while, the group finally reached the bottom and saw the tiled roof of a palace as huge as a city wall.
The palace is built in the middle of the canyon relying on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. Its width is the same as the width of the canyon. It is endless and spreads to the depths that are invisible to the distant sight. It can be at least hundreds of meters at a glance.
"Good boy, senior brother, I didn't expect that there is such a big palace under this deep valley. How much money and manpower did it cost to build it?"
The two brothers, Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner, went down to the bottom first. After landing on the tiled roof of the palace, they couldn't help but marvel at the huge palace. Although they had seen many large tombs, it was as huge as a city.
This is the first time I have seen a majestic palace. Although I don’t know what it looks like underneath, just looking at the scale of the tiled roof, I can see the scale of this palace.
Zhang Shaozong and Chen Yulou also followed them down to the tile roof. Looking at such a huge palace tile roof, Chen Yulou's face instantly showed a smile, and he had a glimpse of the leopard. With his many years of experience in tombs, the larger the tomb, the more likely it is to be buried with the tomb.
The treasures tend to be richer. From this, for such a huge palace, one can imagine how rich the collections in this tomb are. I am afraid there are mountains of gold and silver, but he does not know that this is not actually a tomb, but a previous one.
Some emperors built palaces here to refine alchemy.
"Oh my god, such a big mausoleum, I'm afraid it's not the tomb of an emperor. We are going to distribute it this time."
The other people in Xiling who followed him could not help but widen their eyes, with expressions of excitement on their faces.
"Who would have thought that there would be such a big palace under this cliff and deep valley? It's really eye-opening."
Zhang Shaozong couldn't help but sigh. Although he had seen TV dramas in his previous life and knew about the palace below, but what he saw on TV could not be compared with seeing it with his own eyes and experiencing it in person.
"This is the first time I have seen such a large underground palace."
Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew the palace below was huge when he heard it from above, he never expected it to be so big.
"But be careful."
At this time, Zhang Shaozong changed his tone and reminded solemnly, and at the same time walked towards the tiled roof of the palace.
"What's wrong?"
When Chen Yulou heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Shaozong. When he saw Zhang Shaozong walking forward, he seemed to have discovered something, so he quickly followed Zhang Shaozong.
After walking more than ten feet, Zhang Shaozong stopped.
"Brother Zhang, what did you discover?"
Chen Yulou followed closely behind, as did Honggu, Huamaguai and other people who were unloading the mountain.
Zhang Shaozong pointed to the tiled roof of the palace in front of Chen Yulou.
"Brother Chen, please take a look."
Chen Yulou followed the direction Zhang Shaozong pointed and looked in front of Zhang Shaozong. He suddenly saw two curved pit routes that looked like they had been plowed by something. All the tiles passed by the route were broken and collapsed.
, forming two distinct routes, and the two routes are neatly spaced. Whether they are curved or straight, there is a distance of about one meter in the middle. It looks like something has crawled over it, and it spreads towards the tiled roof of the palace.
The end of it disappears, and the other end spreads toward the cliff and disappears.
"What's this?"
Chen Yulou and the people in Xiling behind him couldn't help but change their expressions. At first glance, these marks could not be made by ordinary creatures.
"Senior brother."
Behind the Partridge Whistle, the two old foreigner brothers also saw the movement and came over. When they saw the marks on the tile roof, their faces changed slightly.
"Could it be a snake?"
Adjutant Yang, who came down with him, guessed.
"Impossible, it's impossible for a snake to make two such neat marks."
Huamaguai directly denied that if there was only one such trace, it might have been caused by a big python crawling over it, but now there are two traces, and they are so neat and symmetrical that it obviously cannot be a snake.
"Looking at the traces, it looks like a centipede."
At this time Zhang Shaozong said.
"Centipede?!"
The group's expressions changed upon hearing this, and then they looked at the trace again, feeling unbelievable.
"How is this possible? If it was caused by a centipede, how big would it be?"
Even Chen Yulou found it a little unbelievable. If it was really a centipede, how big of a centipede could it have caused such a big mark?
"This kind of abyss and cliff, with no sunlight all year round, is the most suitable for raising poisonous insects and monsters. Things that usually feel incredible may not happen in such a place. No matter what it is, it can make such a big mark. That thing
They are definitely not young, so everyone should be careful."
Zhang Shaozong didn't argue much, but reminded him again.
Upon hearing Zhang Shaozong's words, Chen Yulou also nodded and reminded.
"Brother Zhang is right. No matter what it is, if it can leave such a big mark, it must not be small. Everyone should be careful."
"By the way, Brother Chen, where are the two Xiling brothers you came down earlier?"
After Chen Yulou finished speaking, Zhang Shaozong reminded him again.
After being reminded by Zhang Shaozong, Chen Yulou and other people in Xiling realized that after coming down from above, they had not seen the Saihuo monkey and Dilibo who had come down to investigate the situation.
"What about Saihuo Monkey and Dilibo?"
Chen Yulou then asked behind him.
The people in Xiling behind immediately looked at each other and then around.
"Boss, I didn't see it. I didn't see the Saihuo monkey and the jumping people in the ground."
"Spread around and look for it."
"Also, be careful."
"yes!"
"Set the live monkey! Jump in the ground!" "Set the live monkey!" "Bounce in the ground!" "..."
Everyone in Xiling immediately separated and began to search, shouting.
Zhang Shaozong continued to stay where he was and looked at the traces on the tile roof, followed the traces to the depths at the end of the traces, and thought about whether to follow the traces and find it directly.
Chen Yulou did not leave either. He stood with Zhang Shaozong and looked at the traces. He had the same thoughts as Zhang Shaozong and thought for a while.
"Brother Zhang, why don't you and I follow the traces and check to see what it is? Anyway, we want to get the things in this tomb. Such a big thing is down here. If we don't find it,
If so, we would also feel uneasy.”
In the original play, Chen Yulou and others did not notice this trace when they first came down, so they did not find the big centipede. However, at this moment, Zhang Shaozong guided them to notice this trace, and Chen Yulou suddenly became nervous. Although for Zhang Shaozong,
He was still dubious about the centipede, but he also knew that no matter what it was, it was definitely a big thing, and it had probably become a spirit. If he didn't find it, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Zhang Shaozong pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then nodded.
"good."
Chen Yulou immediately turned his head and looked behind him.
"Guaizi, you stay here and take care of the other brothers, Hong Gu and Kunlun. You two go with me and Brother Zhang. I want to see what the hell is going on down here."
"yes."
Huamaguai, Honggu, and Kunlun immediately responded. Except for Huamaguai who stayed behind, Honggu and Kunlun immediately followed Zhang Shaozong and Chen Yulou. Zhang Shaozong and Chen Yulou walked in front, and the group of four people directly
Follow the traces to the front.
Seeing this, the partridge whistle behind them pondered for a moment, thinking that such traces could not be made by ordinary creatures. If they did not find out, they would not be able to feel at ease. They immediately said to the old foreigner beside them.
