Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 93: Pingshan Underground Palace
…
Luo Laowai looked excited and clapped his hands.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go down quickly and fish out all the treasures."
"Don't be impatient, Commander Luo. This deep mountain valley has not seen sunlight for many years. I'm afraid it has bred countless poisonous insects and mirages. If you go down rashly, you will definitely suffer a great loss."
Luo Laowai instantly recalled the scene of the Miao village full of poisonous insects, and couldn't help but shudder.
"What the captain said is true. But we can't just stand here and watch."
"Master Luo, please be patient."
Give Hua Ma a look.
The latter understood and waved his hand, and the disciples behind him came forward and scattered the quicklime they carried into the valley in large pieces.
The scattered lime powder, like a heavy snow, gradually disappeared into the dark valleys and gullies.
For a moment, the fog floating in the middle of the mountain seemed to thinner.
"This is a good idea. Sprinkle more and poison those bastards to death." Luo Laowai shouted.
"about there."
Chen Yulou waved his hand, and everyone collected their lime bags and retreated.
"Go up the centipede hanging mountain ladder."
The disciple Xiangling took off his backpack and connected the I-shaped bamboo sections together, like a big centipede. He was carried by everyone and lowered down the mountain wall.
After estimating that the distance was about right, he asked everyone to stop.
"Like a live monkey, jumping on the ground."
One is tall and thin, the other is short and fat, two capable men in shorts stand out from the crowd.
These two men are Chen Yulou's confidants cultivated over the years. They are smart and cautious, have excellent light body skills, and are good at exploring the way.
"Don't worry."
"You two go down first. If you reach the underground palace and there is nothing unusual, send a signal and come up."
"yes."
The two of them climbed down using the centipede ladder. Soon they passed through the thick fog and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The waiting time is the most tiring.
Chen Yulou was still able to keep his composure, but Luo Laowai was like an ant on hot pot, scratching his head and cheeks, turning around seven or eight times on the spot, he could not bear it any longer.
"Young Master, do you want to send a few more people down?"
Chen Yulou was about to speak.
boom.
A handful of fireworks suddenly rushed up from the deep ravine and exploded, shaking the mountains and making everyone's nerves excited.
"I have been looking forward to grandpa and grandma, and finally they are here."
Luo Laowai shouted excitedly.
Chen Yulou also showed a look of joy on his face.
"Kuaizhe, Brother Xu, Brother Zhang, you all come with me."
"Kunlun, Honggu, the two of you stay up there to provide support."
Everyone responded.
"Brother Partridge Whistle, do you want to go down together?"
"Um."
Partridge Whistle nodded.
Now that they have been left here, we cannot let go of the Pingshan Yuan Tomb.
"Where's Luo Shuai?"
Luo Laowai really wanted to go down, but looking at the bottomless mountain stream covered with black clouds, he couldn't help but think of the scene in Jinfeng Village, and felt a little timid.
Forget it.
"Xiao Yangzi?"
Adjutant Yang stepped forward quickly.
"You go with Yun Tao and take a few brothers with you."
Adjutant Yang's expression changed.
There is no sunlight under this cliff all year round, and no one knows how much dirty things are hidden under it.
He really didn't want to go down.
But he knew Luo Laowai's character well. If he didn't go down, he would probably shoot him with a gun immediately.
Zhou Yuntao is similar.
Looking at Luo Laowai's sinister eyes, the two had no choice but to agree.
…
"After you go down, be sure to be extra careful."
The red girl next to her was also constantly giving instructions.
Xu Rui smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, with my abilities, I just need to be careful. The world is big and I can go anywhere."
"You just talk nonsense."
"Just wait for me up there and don't take any risks for me." Xu Rui said solemnly.
Before Red Girl could come to her senses, the man had already turned and left.
Just as shown in the play, Chen Yulou walked on the centipede hanging ladder, while Partridge Whistle used a rope.
After passing through several layers of fog, the rock wall gradually became slippery. Some bright-looking flowers and plants appeared around them, and a faint fishy smell could be smelled from a distance, which was obviously poisonous.
"Look down there."
No one knew who spoke first, and everyone subconsciously looked down.
With the dim light from the sky, the vague silhouette of a double-eaved hip-and-gabled hall appeared before our eyes.
Everyone looked excited and couldn't help but speed up.
The silhouette of the hall gradually became clear.
In addition to the main hall and two side halls in the middle, which cover an area of nearly the size of a football field, there are also rockery made of rocks, corridors carved with large wood, and a curved but dried-up pond.
Three arched stone bridges, from the front and on the left and right sides, cross the dried-up spring pool and go deep into the mountain.
Unfortunately, the passage that was supposed to connect to other underground palaces had already been blocked by huge stone slabs.
But the bottom of this mountain stream, which is hundreds of feet wide, has more than just the section where the hall is located.
There are long valleys on both sides, but because they were artificially dug, if you want to climb up, you must first cross an extremely steep cliff of about 20 meters.
Xu Rui activated the Eagle Eye Technique and looked at the cliffs on both sides, not missing a single protrusion.
At this time, everyone also landed on the roof and soon discovered a large hole in the middle that was smashed out by a huge rock, leading directly to the inside of the hall.
"A monkey jumping around on the ground?"
Chen Yulou shouted several times, and his voice echoed in the empty valley, but there was no response at all.
He frowned.
As far as he knew, if these two heard his voice, they would never dare not respond unless they encountered an unexpected accident.
"Don't worry, look."
A disciple from Xiangling threw a torch into the hall. With the faint light of the fire, Chen Yulou instantly saw a pair of black clothes that stood out a little on the ground.
And he recognized at a glance that those were the clothes worn by Saihuo Hou.
He frowned, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Ponder for a moment.
"Go down and take a look. Be careful."
"yes."
The disciple from Xiangling brought a centipede ladder and lowered it down through the gap.
Everyone filed down.
Arriving at the main hall, I began to explore carefully with a torch in hand.
Armor, bells, drums and weapons are arranged around it, which is obviously a place for burial objects.
Soon someone found the clothes lying on the ground in the corridor of the hall.
He picked it up subconsciously and reported to Chen Yulou.
"Young Master..."
Before he could finish his words, he stopped.
next moment.
An unbelievable scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
The skin and flesh of the Xiangling disciple melted directly as if it were hot paraffin.
"Stop... taking... your head, save..."
Before he could finish his words, a man over 1.7 meters tall turned into a pool of blood.
Six or seven three-inch-long centipedes, three or four poisonous snakes, and two or three scorpions jumped out from the darkness, opened their fang-filled mouths, and drank the blood on the ground frantically.
Before everyone could recover from this horrific scene.
The rustling sound came from every corner of the hall.
