Near noon, with the red sun high in the sky, the group finally climbed onto a dangerous cliff behind Lao Xiong Ridge.
The top of this ancient cliff is overgrown with weeds and ancient trees, and you can overlook the Pingshan Mountains from a high position.
Looking down, I can see that in the deep mountains behind the main ridge, there are all cone-shaped peaks and dangerous rocks. The continuous peaks are connected one after another in the distance, like thousands of bamboo shoots unearthed, thousands of wats facing the sky, the peaks are connected, and behind the peaks
There are peaks, stretching as far as the eye can see between heaven and earth.
Chen Yulou pushed up his sunglasses and asked, "Brother Mo, what do you think?"
"This place is filled with yin energy, entangled with the energy of alchemy. I think it is because the power of the alchemy made by the emperors of the past dynasties was leaked, which will probably breed a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous monsters. I guess there must be a passage leading to the depths of the underground palace, which is a place that can be broken.
Where." Mo Feidao.
As Murphy spoke, he felt the feeling of being spied on...
So Mo Fei calmly radiated the power of fluctuations, and after careful inspection...it was the mental fluctuations of Taoist Priest Four Eyes.
I thought that this old naughty boy didn't want to be involved with Chen Yulou, the tomb robber, but he was probably curious about the Pingshan Underground Palace in his heart, so he secretly used magic to peek.
"What an old boy who is too honest!"
Murphy shook his head secretly.
Chen Yulou hesitated for a moment and said: "I also think this place must be the place to break the situation, but this poisonous insect and poisonous monster..."
"There is an old saying that wherever poisonous snakes appear, there must be an antidote within seven steps. I guess even if there are poisonous insects and monsters here, someone can find an antidote nearby, so Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry too much."
Murphy said with a smile.
"Well..." Chen Yulou thought for a while and said to Mr. Luo, "Shuai Luo, let's try firing a shot?"
"OK!"
Luo Laowai readily took out his pistol and fired three shots at the cliff at his feet.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley for a long time.
Chen Yulou stood on the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes and moved his ears.
This is Chen Yulou's unique secret technique, the art of identifying positions by listening to sounds, the method of "distinguishing dragons by hearing mountains" in the "Wen" formula, listening to wind and listening to thunder.
He was born with extremely sharp five senses, and there was no one else in the world who had this ability. At this moment, he leaned against the wall and listened. He heard the sound of the sky at the bottom of the mountain, and it seemed that there was a space as big as a city wall.
Chen Yulou was listening somewhere when suddenly Miss Hong took out two throwing knives and threw them in one direction:
"Who's there?"
The sudden change made everyone couldn't help but follow the red girl's gaze.
"Bang! Bang!"
With the sound of two gunshots, the red girl's flying knife was shot down directly.
Three people were forced out.
The leader, dressed in Taoist robes, has a face full of dust and dust. His angular face has the appearance of a master with immortal style and Taoism, but also has the perseverance and bravery of the green forest and grass.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around here and peeking?" Red Girl said fiercely.
"Everyone, please forgive me. I am moving the mountain Taoist Partridge Whistle. They are my junior brother, the foreigner, and my junior sister, Hua Ling." Partridge Whistle cupped his hands and said, "We didn't mean to peek, but we heard that Pingshan was...
There may be some elixir beads in the place where kings of past dynasties made alchemy, so I came here to check it out."
"Is this Shirley Yang's grandfather, Partridge Whistle?" Murphy looked at the leader.
Originally a member of the Zagrama tribe, he was nicknamed Partridge Whistle because he inherited the mountain-moving and reclamation skills of the Taoist Banshan Taoist. He was versatile and good at ventriloquism.
Shao has extensive experience, is proficient in local dialects, local customs and customs, and is well-known in the green forest.
Holding two German twenty-ring mirror boxes, his marksmanship is like a god, and he is unparalleled in grappling and fighting.
What a ruthless character!
"Honggu, don't be impulsive!"
Chen Yulou hurriedly stepped forward to stop the tense two sides. He had already recognized the three Partridge Whistlers. He was the one who was poisoned by the raccoon when he chased the ear of "Second Aunt Husband" that was taken away by a bobcat, and then rescued him.
He got three people dressed as Taoists.
"They are friends!"
Standing next to the Partridge Whistle, a cute girl with some baby fat looked at Chen Yulou and said: "Brother, wasn't he killed that night..."
"Ahem!" Chen Yulou coughed twice quickly, interrupting Hua Ling's words. After all, he was also a prince who commanded a green forest. Didn't he lose face in front of so many people?
"It turns out that the three of you, Xiongtai, are from the same family. What a coincidence, Chen Yulou is the current leader of the Xiling family."
With Chen Yulou acting as a guarantee in the middle, there was no simmering tension between the two parties.
It's just that we are still wary and we can't get together.
With the three Taoist Banshan people staying together, Chen Yulou couldn't reconcile the two sides in a short time, so he left them alone.
Based on Chen Yulou's own Wen Zi Jue, he could probably judge that there was an entrance to the Pingshan Underground Palace below, so he prepared to go down and take a look.
Even if there is a slight error, it is definitely not far off. As long as there are enough explosives and several layers of ground are blown open, the underground tomb door can definitely be revealed.
He started mobilizing before the war:
"Brothers, the bandits in Xiling all belong to the Red Eyebrow Rebel Army. They gather together to form a gang and gather in the green forest. They adhere to the instructions of the ancestors, do justice for heaven, and attack unjustly. I have heard that hungry people are easy to eat when they have a full belly, and nobles have pearls and jade in their meat bags.
It is true that the sky has no eyes and the people hang upside down. Today, there is an ancient tomb in Pingshan, which contains countless gold beads, which are condensed with the blood and sweat of the people. The people of Xiling are trying to find it. They can collect the treasures in the tomb and achieve great things to help the troubled times.
.”
"Dumped!"
The impassioned shouts of the Xiling warriors showed their high morale.
"Take the centipede and hang it on the mountain ladder!" Chen Yulou said again.
This centipede hanging mountain ladder is a unique secret weapon of the Xiling group of thieves. When taken apart, it is a bamboo tube as thick as a forearm. The material is the most resilient moso bamboo. It has been soaked in an oil pan dozens of times, and it is bent.
It will not break even when it is in the shape of a full bow. There are buckles on both sides of each bamboo tube at both ends, and the tube body has two round holes with the thickness of the bamboo body. When in use, one of them is connected vertically to form a
A long bamboo pole, with bamboo tubes inserted horizontally on both sides for people to step on, and a mountain-mounted claw on the top. From a distance, it looks like a bamboo centipede.
The crack is deep in the cliff, and it has been open for at least two to three hundred years. The two sides are like knives and axes, and colorful mist rises from below. Although the mountain gap can lead directly to the underground palace, there must be something hugely poisonous that will destroy the ancient tomb.
If you occupy it as a nest and go down directly from the deep stream, even if you can avoid the evil spirit of the mold mirage, you will still be devoured.
It was just near noon that the poisonous gas had weakened a lot. The poisonous pythons and poisonous insects in the mountains all like shade by nature, so they must be dormant at this time. When it was time to act, Chen Yulou ordered the porters to pour bags of lime into the deep stream.
.The lime bag broke when it fell into the valley bottom, and the lime inside spattered and boiled. No matter what vicious poison it contained, it couldn't withstand the violent choking. Even if it was lucky enough to survive, it would definitely escape far away.
"Saihuo monkey, jumping on the ground!"
After setting up the Centipede Hanging Ladder, Chen Yulou called the two vanguards of the Xieling Warriors and asked them to go to the bottom of the cliff to investigate the situation.
If there is danger, the sounding arrow will be used as a signal to notify everyone.
On the other side, the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle were preparing to "drill the sky rope" to get off the cliff.
In order to find the Muchen Bead, they searched all over the country, and finally got a clue that the Muchen Bead might exist in Pingshan Mountain, so they came to Pingshan Mountain.
So no matter what poison or the like is down there, they have to go down.
Not long after.
"Whoosh——!"
A resounding arrow shot out of the clouds, carrying a sharp sound, and shot straight into the air.
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Yulou put on his inner armor, selected twenty or thirty skilled hands and feet, and led him personally to carry the centipede and hang it down the mountain ladder.
Luo Laowai was timid and did not dare to go down, so he sent Adjutant Yang there.
Murphy went down with the royal zombies.
After the royal zombie has advanced to the purple zombie, it is difficult for the sun to hurt it anymore, and its limbs are as flexible as ordinary people. It can climb up the ladder without any problems, and even jump directly from the cliff without any problem.
.
A soft rope hook and a centipede hanging ladder are used together to climb the cliff and descend through the clouds and mist. The gravel and soil in the gaps between the loose rocks are scraped down by the bamboo ladder and continue to fall.
The distance between the cliffs on both sides is narrow, and even a small stone falling can make a loud noise. The echo is heard in the ears. There are slippery moss and vines on the stone walls. If you are not careful, you will slip and fall.
, or if the bamboo ladder is not hung firmly, you will fall into a deep valley and die.
This was a dual psychological and physical experience, but the thieves were all desperadoes, and they had seen many markets with Chen Yulou, so they climbed to the bottom of the valley without saying a word.
Mo Fei was not afraid at all and still had the leisure to look at the scenery on both sides of the cliff.
What surprised him was that he found many huge and strange patterns on both sides of the cliff, like some large creatures crawling along the cliff.
"It seems that there is a huge six-winged centipede under this underground palace, and the endless other small centipedes below are all the descendants of this six-winged centipede!"
Mo Fei secretly said: "There seems to be some inner elixir or something. You can take a look at it. Well, don't throw away the remaining body. Wrap it in egg liquid, stick it with bread crumbs, fry it in a pan until golden and crispy, and take it out.
The elderly and children all love to eat it, and the kids next door are so greedy that they cry!"
After passing through several layers of clouds and mist, the light became dimmer and dimmer, water droplets seeped on the walls, and the cold air was overwhelming. The closer we got to the underground palace, the heavier the yin energy became. With the underground palace in sight, everyone felt refreshed.
"arrive!"
When we came to the cliff, we were in a large cave. The cave was extremely deep and wide, and we could only hear the evil wind blowing.
A large hall with double eaves resting on the mountain is under the crack. This hall is tall and stern, and is covered with glazed tiles like fish scales. A hole has collapsed under the crack in the mountain. The wooden rafters under the tiles are exposed, and there are many freshly thrown glazed tiles splashed on them.
Lime coming down.
There is a layer of mercury frost hanging on the ceiling of the cave. It seems that there used to be a lot of mercury stored in the palace. Because of the cracking of the mountain, all the mercury has long been evaporated, leaving only many black mercury spots.
"General manager, where are the racing monkeys and the people jumping in the ground?" Miss Hong looked around and asked.
"Take people to look around." Chen Yulou frowned.
But the top of the main hall of the underground palace was filled with mist, and there was nowhere to see the shadows of those two people.
Mo Fei looked carefully at the eaves of the palace roof. The traces left by the six-winged centipede became more and more obvious.
In the dark surroundings, something seems to be ready to move...
At this time, Hua Maguai and the rest of the people followed him one after another, looked at the situation on the left and right, and asked: "How about the boss?"
Chen Yulou said: "This is a side hall. The whereabouts of the two brothers who came to visit earlier are unknown. You need to be more careful and search the roof of the hall first."
Huamaguai knew that there were dangers in the underground palace, so he hurriedly made a gesture, and the thieves showed off their equipment, raised their lanterns, leaned against the glazed tiles, and groped for the two missing accomplices.
Still can't find it.
Before long, everyone was ready to go down to the palace to look for him.
First, they sprinkled lime, then set up a bamboo ladder, hung it along the wooden rafter hole under the tiles, and then went down the bamboo ladder into the hall.
"The boss has made a discovery!"
Chen Yulou quickly quickened his pace and headed in the direction of the shouting Xiling warrior.
When they arrived at the place, a chill ran down Chen Yulou's spine, because he saw the clothes and equipment on Saihuo Monkey and Dilibeng, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that these two guys could take off their clothes and run around in this strange hall?
Obviously impossible!
"Brother Mo, come and see what's going on?"
Chen Yulou saw Mo Fei following behind and asked.
"This is?"
Murphy looked at the puddle of yellow water on the ground:
"Corpse fluid?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Yulou was shocked.
"It means that the two people you came down first are now in this pool of water." Murphy said.
"How could this happen?" Chen Yulou asked.
Murphy shook his head and said: "The poison in this underground palace is very poisonous!"
"ah--!"
Suddenly there was another scream.
Chen Yulou and Mo Fei hurriedly took a look again. In the middle of them was a Xiling warrior, screaming, his face suddenly melted and turned into yellow water, and then... almost in the blink of an eye, a living person turned into
There was a pool of corpse liquid.
"Boss, these two people are evil!" Miss Hong glared at Partridge Whistle and his junior brother, the old foreigner: "They were the only two standing next to that brother just now."
"It's not them! It's poisonous insects!" Murphy said: "Where is your lime? Take it out quickly and sprinkle it around, otherwise you may not have a chance!"
If Taoist Priest Four-Eyed hadn't been peeking in the dark, Mo Fei might have shaken all the centipedes here into flying ash with just one thought.
pity……
"Hiss—!"
As soon as Mo Fei finished speaking, countless centipedes crawled out, gushing out from all directions, from walls, eaves, copper stoves, etc.
It turns out that after the medicine furnace in Pingshan was abandoned, many medicinal herbs, gold and stones were left behind. Over time, the medicinal gas dispersed into the earth and rocks, causing the five poisons to gather. After the ancient tomb cracked open, these poisonous insects used the Yin Mansion as their nest, and they usually devoured each other.
Poison, and the effect of medicine stones, are extremely poisonous things. The poison in the human skin will instantly turn the person into pus and blood. As long as it is a flesh and blood body, not even a hair, bone, sinew and marrow are left, and it is often buried in the tomb.
It bites the dead, turns the corpse into sewage and sucks it clean. The ignorant natives will move the corpse to the ground to explain this rare and strange phenomenon.
"The first team is spreading lime to prevent the poisonous insects from approaching. The second team is preparing to retreat!"
Chen Yulou yelled.
Murphy's royal zombies were of great help at this time. As soon as they were released, a beam of lightning spread across the floor, and the poisonous insects in them were directly electrocuted to death.
It was just the outstanding performance of the royal zombie that attracted the attention of other things. Suddenly, a huge black shadow emerged from the darkness and bit into the royal zombie.
