I don't know how long it took, but everyone relied on food, wine and sleep to get rid of the cold. After another night's sleep, they finally had the strength to get up. Yin Xiu opened the pocket watch in her hand, and the hands pointed to nine o'clock in the morning. It turned out that several of them had been lying here for most of the day, and their bodies were dried out by the bonfire. But this is underground. Even during the day, there is no sunlight coming through. It is almost the same as night. As soon as Yin Xiugang sat up, he saw Ren Qi leaning on the stone next to him, staring at him with wide eyes. "Brother Gaoshou, I didn't offend you today, right?" Yin Xiu murmured. "It's not that you didn't offend him today, but you haven't offended him yet, just like usual." Ma Xiaoyu also sat up from the ground and returned Yin Xiu's coat to him. "Then it won't be so bitter and bitter, right?" Yin Xiu shook his head, but saw that Ren Qi still had his eyes wide open, unblinking. At this time, Ma Xiaoyu also noticed that his face was pale, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Could it be..." she whispered. "It's possible." Yin Xiu nodded in agreement, "I have heard that there are some martial arts masters, Taoist priests and monks who are good at ordinary times and are invincible in the world. However, sometimes when you encounter those mysterious causes and effects, or experience something, you will reach perfection and become immortal, and you will sit down and die on the spot when everyone thinks you are safe and sound. This is considered to have completed your merits and attained enlightenment and soared. " "Are you saying that he has been a bad guy all his life and has done all kinds of bad things, and because he saved two people, he became a Buddha immediately?" "It's not that serious. Isn't he just doing business?" Yin Xiu handed over Ma Xiaoyu's boots, "But maybe he became a Buddha just because he did some good deeds. As the saying goes, he will return when he has lost his way, and he will die in the morning after hearing the truth. Bad people like him are unforgivable and heinous. Anyone can If he wakes up a little bit, God will be so happy that he will be summoned to heaven to become a god." "Isn't that unfair to us good people?" Ma Xiaoyu wiped the corners of her mouth and rubbed a little water stain onto Yin Xiu's body. "A good person should be conscientious in his work, and be careful that a thousand years of practice will be lost in one day. If you do good deeds all your life and make some mistakes, you will go to hell and be punished. On the contrary, bad people will do all the bad things in their life, and then save a beggar. Can you become an immortal by feeding a cat? Then why are they good people? " "The people he saved were not beggars, but two people." Yin Xiu patted Ma Xiaoyu on the shoulder, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. He has already done a great deed. It is not surprising that he has become an immortal now." Saying that, Yin Xiu walked over, carefully stretched out her hand, and put it under Ren Qi's nose. Suddenly, Ren Qi's eyes widened and he grabbed him with one hand, "What are you doing, conducting a sneak attack?" "I thought you died." Yin Xiu took back her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm not dead even if you die." Ren Qi glared at him, "How can a bad guy like me die so easily?"
"That's true." When Yin Xiu waved her hand and turned her head to look to the other side, Liu Banxian had already sat up and stretched, looking still exhausted. "Can you walk?" Yin Xiu asked him. "You ask me?" Liu Banxian pointed at himself. After he was convinced that Yin Xiu was really asking questions to him, he twitched his nose a few times and took out a cigarette from his pocket. However, the smoke had been soaked in water, baked in the fire and dried in the shade, and became loose and deteriorated. When Liu Banxian put it on the fire, black smoke came out, making him shed tears. After throwing the cigarette into the fire in annoyance, Liu Banxian muttered: "Uncle, I am very strong. Not to mention falling into the water after a day of walking, even going up mountains of swords and seas of fire, that's no problem!" "Of course, of course." Yin Xiu smiled, "Then let's set off?" "It's long past time to leave." Liu Banxian didn't smoke often. He only smoked one sometimes when he was very tired or had something to think about. So he didn't have much of a craving for cigarettes, so he simply threw the entire pack of cigarettes soaked in water into the fire, causing a few sparks. Then he picked up the compass and glanced into the distance, counting with his fingers. "Well, the purple energy is coming from the east. Today's financial position is in the east. If we go that way, we will definitely have good fortune and kill everyone!" "Do you think this is playing mahjong?" Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him, "There is only one direction to go now. If you don't go there, how can you go?" Liu Banxian smiled and didn't say much. He put his pockets on his back and instructed everyone to take action, "Let's go quickly. I think the water will rise again. I don't know when our place to stay will be gone." When Hai Dongqing heard this, he lowered his head and looked down. Sure enough, the place where they landed last night was already full of ripples. Apparently the water was slowly rising up. Ma Xiaoyu and Liu Banxian caused underground water to flow into the tunnel and pushed open the bronze door. I just don’t know how long the water will continue to flow, and I don’t know if it will submerge the underground palace. "Why, you didn't wake up?" Yin Xiu suddenly patted him on the shoulder. "Just keep talking, don't touch anyone." Hai Dongqing glared at him and walked to the front. Although this place still looks like a cave and has nothing to do with the so-called underground palace, after breaking through the bronze door, everyone is confident and convinced that they have entered the underground palace and will soon see something different. Something. Sure enough, after walking for a while, the dry land under everyone's feet had disappeared, and there was only a shallow, narrow and straight river leading to the front. Ren Qi walked in front. As soon as he stepped into the water, he felt that although the mud he was stepping on was a layer of mud, the mud was very shallow. Instead, it was like a layer of fine sand covering the solid ground. He stopped immediately and used the tools in his hand to push away the sand. Using the light source, everyone saw that the bottom of the river was actually a flat layer of bluestone bricks, stacked one on top of the other.
Ren Qi immediately formed a tiger's claw with one hand, gathered his strength, and was about to grab it. Liu Banxian quickly stopped him, "Brother Gaoshou, what do you want to do?" "What else can we do? Take a piece and take a look?" He was a little confused. "This is a cultural relic! An antique, Brother Master!" Liu Banxian became anxious, "Don't think these are just bricks. If you just take one out, it's worth a room. You grabbed it with your powerful eagle claw and broke it. Isn't this a waste of natural resources?" "How do you know it's the powerful eagle claw skill?" Ren Qi was even more confused about this. "Hey, bend your hands like chicken claws. It's either a powerful eagle claw technique or a nine-yin white bone claw technique. If you don't have dark circles on your face, then it can only be the former. It's a unique skill of Shaolin Temple and a must-have for masters in the inner circle. , everyone who has read martial arts novels knows it.” Yin Xiu squeezed Ren Qi away, put her hand in her hand, and activated [Transparency]. Transparency is a skill that allows you to understand stratigraphic information within a certain range through contact. As long as this skill is activated, no matter whether it is potatoes or gems buried underneath, it will be exposed by this skill, and Yin Xiu will know it clearly. After activating [Transparent], Yin Xiu had determined that the "river channel" they were currently in, or rather the corridor submerged by water, was made of neatly paved green bricks. Under the river sand, The green bricks are three feet thick. Paving a corridor with this thickness is a big project. After Liu Banxian heard Yin Xiu's information, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is the style of imperial mausoleums. There are some so-called tombs of emperors and generals, and they are only so extravagant around the tombs. This is just a passage. It’s so luxurious, who’s the big shot buried inside?” "They are said to be living dead, how can they be ordinary people?" Yin Xiu said and glanced at Liu Banxian again, "You are so familiar with us, you have never really fought with those gold-touching captains before, or pinched a lama, right? We are so familiar. There are rules in Maoshan. If you do something like this, I have to clean up the house. " "I'm not from Maoshan, what are you cleaning up..." "That's not right!" Liu Banxian screamed strangely, "I said that I have seen and heard. Seeing and hearing means seeing with the eyes and listening with the ears. I am the latter and listen to what others say. After all, I am a feng shui practitioner with integrity, so how could I possibly steal those customers’ money? Isn't this theft? Will you still be able to hang out after the news gets out? " "Those are all ancients. Which one is your customer?" "There's always a chance. Maybe they will introduce each other." Liu Banxian twisted his neck, pointed forward again, and changed the topic. "So, what we are stepping on now is a corridor?" "Yes, it's all under your feet." Yin Xiu nodded. "That would be interesting." Liu Banxian touched his chin, "And this is not a sacred road, because there are no fairy priests on both sides of the road to guide the way, and there are no ever-bright lamps to guide the way. These things are necessary in the tomb of a big shot. No matter how small or short it is, there must be a road. , otherwise it can’t be called standard or face.” "Then you are saying that we are still outside the underground palace?" "It's not a peripheral thing, it's just that you didn't go in at all. You have to see the Shinto, then you can really enter the mausoleum and the underground palace." Liu Banxian corrected. "what!?" Hai Dongqing slapped his forehead and said, "We won't have to go through one or two bronze doors again, right? You also said that we were lucky not to drown this time, but if it happens again..." "Hey, what are you afraid of?"
Liu Banxian waved his hand, signaling him to calm down. "Although technically we haven't entered the underground palace yet, in fact we are already outside the opening. We just need to push forward with a little effort from the waist." When Liu Banxian was about to demonstrate his movements, Yin Xiu stopped him with quick hands and eyes. "Just say it, don't do it." "Ok." Liu Banxian's tone was rather regretful, "Uncle wants to teach you some tricks." "No need, no need, just talk about this corridor." "There's nothing to say about this. There is a road leading to darkness in front of us. If the road ahead derails or encounters obstacles, let's talk about it. But there probably won't be any changes, because whether it is a corridor or a Shinto, they all pay attention to being straight, so that the ancestors can walk comfortably all the way to the west. Even if the road changes due to the terrain, at most it will only add a few more steps and build a bridge, so there will be no twists and turns. " "That's best." Yin Xiu let out a long breath, "Now that I hear the twists and turns, I'm scared to death of the door and everything." "Don't you know how to do magic?" Ma Xiaoyu asked. "Hey, magic is just my hobby, not for food." Yin Xiu said and patted Ren Qi's shoulder again, indicating that he should continue to move forward. Everyone stepped into the river up to their ankles one after another, and felt a chill coming to their ankles. Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu were accustomed to wearing leather boots wherever they went, so they had no feeling for the cold water. The three of them, Liu Banxian, usually wear different clothes. After going into the mountains, they also put on thickly wrapped boots to keep out the cold. Ren Qi was a top expert and was unaffected. However, Liu Banxian couldn't help but feel that his feet were deep and shallow when he was in the water. The feet are quite funny when walking. A few people moved forward in a loose group, more like an outing than heading into the underground palace to explore. It's just that other people's outings are in spring when flowers are blooming, and in autumn when the sky is high and the clouds are clear, but they are under the ground when day and night are not divided, and there is darkness and biting coolness everywhere. I don't know how long they walked forward, but before Yin Xiu felt that his mental power had begun to scatter, the road conditions finally changed in front of them. At the front of the narrow corridor is a cave. This cave is so huge that it can accommodate several football fields. Of course, there are also huge caves like this in the Infernal World. What really jolted their nerves was what was in the cave. In front of them, they saw two stone statues. After standing there underground for an unknown amount of time, water vapor, moss, and running water have corroded the stone statues, making their original appearance and decoration blurry, but their shapes can still be recognized as two military commanders. Holding a halberd and wearing heavy armor, he stood at the front with his general belly raised.
If it weren't for the fact that their faces had been corroded, they would still have angry, domineering faces. "This is the military commander guarding the tomb. After the Tang Dynasty, such decorations were very common." Liu Banxian said. "You mean Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin?" "It's pretty much the same. Anyway, that's what it means. In the world of the world, it is used to protect the home, and in the world of the underworld, it is used to frighten lonely souls and wild ghosts." Liu Banxian sounded excited, but after approaching the two statues of generals, the excitement in his tone only turned into a gasp. I saw that behind the two generals, the light source blocked by their figures, were actually steps. Ren Qi poked out the light source in his hand. Those steps were also made of bluestone slabs stacked one by one. Each step was large enough to allow a foot to step on it completely. "Sure enough, it's just like what you said. It's weird. There are steps." Yin Xiu said. "How long or how high is it?" Liu Banxian looked at the darkness ahead. He couldn't see his fingers there, and the steps stretched there as if they had been swallowed by some giant beast. "You have to try it to find out." Yin Xiu took out a piece of illuminated talisman paper and looked at Ren Qi, "Can you use a bow and arrow?" Ren Qi nodded, "Although I am not a gentleman, it is one of the six arts. I often practiced it when I was a child. Although I later discovered that it is faster to use a musket to kill people, my superiors liked to see it when they were inspected, so I did not miss it. I can shoot A two-stone bow." "That's good." Yin Xiu looked at Hai Dongqing again, "Can I borrow your bow?" "Remember to pay it back." Hai Dongqing took off his bow and handed over another arrow. Yin Xiu's mind moved, and after he stuck the talisman paper on the arrow, the talisman paper glowed brightly. As he injected mana, the brightness suddenly increased. Then he handed the bow and arrows to Ren Qi. Ren Qi understood what he meant and asked Liu Banxian, "Are you ready?" "You're ready, don't worry, I can see you cum." "it is good!" With a bang, Ren Qi opened his bow. Liu Banxian's eyes followed the glowing arrow, getting further and further away. Unknowingly, his head was raised as if he was going to the sky. (End of chapter)
