After leaving the Hall of Valor, Wang Xu carefully observed the ground and soon discovered something similar to a drainage ditch.
Before seeing the zombies and copper pipes, he thought these drains were just imitations of those made by the imperial palace.
Now he didn't think so anymore. He squatted down and touched in the drainage ditches. Sure enough, there was a metal pipe as thick as a wrist hidden in these drainage ditches.
"follow me!"
Wang Xu called Ye Zhiqiu and walked forward along the metal pipe.
According to the layout of the palace, the Jinluan Hall is the first three halls, collectively called the outer extension, and after the outer extension is the inner extension.
The inner extension is also headed by three main halls, namely Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived, Kunning Palace where the queen lived, and Jiaotai Palace, located between Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, where palace banquets were held.
Wang Xu walked along the metal pipe and found that the connection point of the metal pipe was divided into three parts from the front of Qianqing Palace. One end led to the three main halls, and the two ends led to the Yangxin Hall, East Sixth Palace, West Sixth Palace, and Cining Palace on both sides. Palace, Shou'an Palace, and the five Qiandong and Qianxi residences where the prince lived.
If he hadn't seen the zombie general before, Wang Xu would have gone straight to the Qianqing Palace.
Now, he hesitated instead. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and headed towards Qiandong Fifth Station.
"The Fifth Qiandong Palace and the Fifth Qianxi Palace, according to the rules of the palace, are for the residence of the princes. The tomb of King Yan is not a real palace, but an underground mausoleum. If the first generation of King Yan lived in the Qianqing Palace, then his The descendants of the Yan kings probably lived in the fifth Qiandong residence and the fifth Qianxi residence."
With this thought in his mind, Wang Xu went straight to the first hall of the Fifth Qiandong Institute.
Because the tomb of King Yan could not be built like the Forbidden City, many buildings in the Five Qiandong Palaces were cut down, leaving only large halls as tomb chambers.
Wang Xu pushed open the door of the first hall, and a burst of Yin Qi rushed in. In the magnificent first hall, there were twelve sarcophagi.
Among them, two sarcophagi are located in the center, and ten sarcophagi are scattered around.
As soon as Wang Xuda entered the door, he saw a copper pipe sticking out from under the floor and inserted directly into the sarcophagus, which made him narrow his eyes slightly.
"open!"
He raised his hands suddenly, and with the strong wind, the lids of the twelve sarcophagi were blown away at the same time.
The coffin lid fell to the ground, making a roaring sound.
Wang Xu quickly took two steps closer and saw that in the ten sarcophagi around him, there were six buried maids and four buried eunuchs. In the main coffin in the middle, there was a blue-faced man wearing royal clothes. A middle-aged man wearing a robe, and an old woman wearing a phoenix robe.
The second generation King Yan died of illness in middle age, and his wife, King Yan, died at the end of her life, lying quietly in the sarcophagus.
If you hadn't looked at their livid faces, the green hair on their hands, and the metal pipes in their mouths, Wang Xu would have felt that they were very peaceful.
"What a sin, what did this last King of Yan do? He didn't even spare the corpses of his ancestors?" Ye Zhiqiu also came up and saw the two corpses in the coffin, and immediately started shouting angrily.
The generals in the Hall of Valor are all ministers no matter what, so they can be forgiven for being tortured a few times.
And the second generation of King Yan here is the ancestor of the Yan Palace. Even his own ancestors were so tormented. The last King of Yan was either crazy or crazy.
"Let's go and watch again!"
Wang Xu left the first hall and went to the second hall.
The second hall also has the same layout, with sarcophagi, copper pipes, zombies, and ancestors of King Yan.
After viewing the ten main halls in a row, Wang Xu saw ten former kings of Yan who had turned into corpses and had copper pipes stuffed into their mouths.
What's more, some of the lower-ranked Yan kings couldn't even enjoy the ten main halls, so they had to dig tombs outside the ten main halls to find a place for themselves.
But even these people could not escape the fate of becoming zombies and being stuffed into copper pipes.
Along the way, except for the last King of Yan and the first King of Yan, all twenty-one generations of King Yan are here.
Each King of Yan brought a queen, six maids, and four eunuchs, which added up to 210 zombies.
A huge underground palace has now become a nest of zombies. Add in the 108 generals, the unexplored harem, and some maids, eunuchs, and guards who may have been buried with them. I'm afraid there are not all zombies in the entire underground palace. Qian is probably eight hundred.
This is Wang Xu's optimistic estimate. If the first generation of King Yan had been more ruthless and brought 3,000 armored soldiers to bury him with him, this would not be a zombie lair, but a zombie country.
"Something's wrong!"
When Wang Xugang asked Wang Qianqing to leave, Ye Zhiqiu stopped him.
"what happened?"
Wang Xu didn't feel anything, but he believed in Ye Zhiqiu's judgment. This guy was a master disciple of Kunlun Mountain. He also learned the art of slaying demons and slaying demons. He was much more sensitive to things like zombies and ghosts than a warrior.
"The smell of corpse gas is getting stronger!" Ye Zhiqiu sniffed his nose, sniffing here and there like a hunting dog, and replied affirmatively: "The corpse gas now is at least twice as strong as when we came in. And , we have not encountered any traps along the way. It stands to reason that a place like the Tomb of King Yan would not be so easy for people to break in."
After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, Wang Xu also felt that something was wrong.
They walked from the entrance and walked through most of the tomb. Apart from the poisonous powder he encountered on the bookshelf, they really didn't encounter any other traps.
Could it be said that the tomb of King Yan is undefended?
Impossible, even the princes and nobles of the ordinary world know how to install anti-theft devices on mausoleums. The world of Liaozhai with its monsters and ghosts should theoretically be more dangerous.
unless
Wang Xu touched his chin and muttered: "It is impossible for the tomb of King Yan to be undefended, unless its defense method is not trapping at all."
Tap tap tap tap
As if in response to Wang Xu's words, as soon as they finished speaking, the sound of neat footsteps came from the distance.
"Something is coming!" Ye Zhiqiu also heard the sound and pulled out the sword from behind.
Wang Xu easily grabbed the three-pointed two-edged knife into his hand and whispered: "Go out and take a look."
The two of them ran to the square outside, one on the left and the other on the right.
As soon as I saw them, countless soldiers wearing masks of ghosts and gods, and wearing coats painted with cinnabar talismans, were walking out of the harem uniformly, and were surrounding Wang Xu and Wang Xu.
"Is it a zombie?"
The soldiers on the opposite side looked lifeless, and Wang Xu knew at a glance that they were not human.
"No, they are Dao soldiers, look at their clothes!"
Following Ye Zhiqiu's words, Wang Xu looked up and found that each of these soldiers who were suspected of being zombies had the same talisman painted on them, and they looked similar.
"The charms on their clothes are the immortal spells of the Immortal Sect. Of course, it is impossible to summon gods, but it is more like summoning ghosts. The masks on their faces are the poisonous witch masks from Miao territory, which have a certain influence on people's hearts and souls. For its function, the immortal sect can be combined with the poisonous witch mask to create a special kind of Taoist soldiers. These Taoist soldiers are controlled by the souls of the deceased and strictly carry out the orders of the master during his lifetime. Although they are not as good as the Yellow Turban Warriors, they are better than the simplicity of production. .”
What Ye Zhiqiu did not say is that the method of making this kind of Taoist weapon is very cruel. The transformation must be started while the person is still alive and he must take some tiger and wolf medicine before he can be made into a Taoist weapon after death.
The souls of these Taoist soldiers are trapped in their bodies and cannot be reincarnated for eternity. They carry out the orders given day after day and hate living people extremely.
Although this kind of Taoist soldiers is also classified as a type of Taoist soldiers, it is not widely recognized by Taoist sects except for the Immortal Invitation Sect, the Corpse Training Sect, and the Miao Border Witch Gu Sect.
In a real Taoist sect, most of the people guarding the entrance hall are yellow scarf warriors. A qualified yellow scarf warrior is equivalent to a grand master warrior. The best among them can even give birth to simple spiritual wisdom, and are collectively known as the "Yellow Turban Warriors" together with the mountain guardian spirit beasts. A wall of copper and iron.
"The one who bit Jiang Tianchen was a zombie, and it was not an ordinary zombie. It seems that the real owner hasn't appeared yet!" After glancing at these Taoist soldiers, Wang Xu didn't stop and set his sights on Qianqing Palace.
Although there is no evidence that the final boss is in the Qianqing Palace, according to the layout of the palace, the Qianqing Palace, as the emperor's dormitory, must have a special status in the tomb of King Yan.
"There are too many, I'm afraid I don't have enough charms!"
Looking at the Taoist soldiers pressing closer and closer, Ye Zhiqiu's face looked a little ugly.
Most of his abilities are in talismans. When the talismans are exhausted, he will be like a pistol without bullets, and his deterrence will be greatly reduced.
Wang Xu looked away. There were indeed too many Taoist soldiers wearing talisman robes. They were so densely packed that there seemed to be one or two thousand people. How long would it take to kill them?
"Do these Taoist soldiers have any weaknesses?" Wang Xu asked.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't have time to think too much and replied: "If you break their robes, these guys won't be able to move, but you have to be careful. The robes have been sacrificed and their defense is probably no worse than iron armor."
"Iron armor!" When Wang Xu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
For ordinary people, the defensive power of iron armor is high enough. After all, when marching and fighting, only generals wear iron armor, and ordinary soldiers wear cloth armor and paper armor.
If you use ordinary swords to cut the iron armor, it will only leave a scratch on it. If it is placed in a field battle outside the city, this group of Taoist soldiers is enough to defeat an army of 10,000 people head-on.
But for Wang Xu, iron armor is far from enough.
"Nawu"
The smile on Wang Xu's face grew stronger. Under Ye Zhiqiu's incomprehensible expression, he took out two strange weapons with six tubes each, and whispered: "Gatling Bodhisattva!"
