Chapter 8: Come to the door
Zhao Shucheng grabbed the gun on the fat man's hand and said, "Fat man, wait a moment!"
Hu Bayi shines it with a flashlight and says, "Fatty, this should be a human-shaped puppet."
"Magic doll? Why is King Xian hanging a magic doll for?"
Shirley Yang said guessingly: "This should be a kind of ritual that King Xian did to cultivate immortality. It looks like some ethnic minority Shan Po, and also like a priest. It's so strange. What's going on with that sound?"
At this moment, I heard a strange scream from the doll.
Hu Bayi was also startled and said, "Hey, this is a shock. Otherwise, I'll go up and see. If there is anything wrong, we can burn it."
Wang Kaixuan volunteered and said, "You don't need to go up, I'll go up and burn her."
Zhao Shucheng knew that Wang Kaixuan went to burn this puppet because it was fake, but he was jealous of the antiques that might exist on it.
"Fatty, don't be so troublesome, I'll do it!" Zhao Shucheng directly transformed a big hand with the Golden Light Curse, went directly to the doll, grabbed the doll and came to the ground.
When everyone came to the puppet, they saw that the puppet except the head was made of cloth strips, and the head was made of wood, and the shape was even very strange and slightly weird.
Just as everyone was about to check carefully, the doll opened its mouth and made another strange sound.
"Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, this..." Wang Kaixuan felt a little panicked.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "This King Xian is a capable man. I didn't expect that he has such a skill of ingenious craftsmanship. As long as there is a little wind, the doll can make a sound. On the one hand, it scares the people coming here, and on the other hand, it tries to make the immortals notice it."
Zhao Shucheng said, regardless of the strange gazes of others, and directly took off the head of the doll and saw a piece of ancient jade with a strange shape hidden inside.
When others saw the ancient jade, they were a little confused about why King Xian placed the ancient jade in it, but they just looked at it for a few seconds and didn't care. On the contrary, when Fatty Wang saw the ancient jade, he would have shined. If it weren't for Zhao Shucheng's hands, he would have kept it directly.
Zhao Shucheng looked at the ancient jade, looked in front of him carefully, and even smelled it, saying, "This thing is not simple! There seems to be a tongue pot on it. If someone accidentally eats it, or if he doesn't wash his hands and eats it, he might get caught in a poison. This poison will not make people die immediately, but it will also make people feel distracted, even confused, irritable, and eventually become a monster that only knows how to attack."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng looked at the doll strangely and said, "But I am a little surprised that King Xian puts a tongue pot on it. After all, the tongue pot can only work if it enters the stomach. Which normal person would eat this stone or chew a stone?"
The others were also in deep thought, but when Wang Kaixuan came to his senses, he found that the others were looking at him with strange eyes.
"No, why are you watching me like this? Is there anything on my face? Or is there something dirty behind me?" Wang Kaixuan touched his face, and even carefully prepared to turn his head to take a look.
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I understand why King Xian did this now. This ragdoll can make a strange sound. If there are really tomb robbers, I will definitely be curious about why the ragdoll makes a sound. Maybe I will think it is the reason for this piece of jade. So I stuffed it into my mouth and tried to make a sound, but I didn't know that I had fallen into the trap."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took Hu Bayi and others to leave Huixian Palace, looked back at the main hall, and said, "I have to say that this old man Xian Wang still has a set of aesthetics. If the mechanism of the Insect Valley behind is cracked and even finds a way to deal with those dangerous things, then this is a good attraction. At that time, the people in the Chalong Village will be able to eat and drink from generation to generation by relying on the Insect Valley and this palace to develop the tourism industry."
After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan said, "Master Zhao, then if you say this, the people from Zhelong Village will have to thank us. It would be not an exaggeration to collect some benefits at that time?"
Hu Bayi glanced at the fat man and said, "It's not too much, of course it's not too much."
As he said that, he followed Zhao Shucheng, but left the fat man in place thinking about how many benefits it would be appropriate to collect the people from Zhelong Village. But he didn't know that Zhao Shucheng was just thinking about it. In fact, it was very difficult to do. On the one hand, although the waterway was good, if the water bees and piranhas were not removed, the danger would be too great. And even if this problem was solved, the white miasma at the entrance of the insect valley was the biggest threat, and it would be impossible for tourists to wait for the white miasma to dissipate before coming in. If a tourist could not bear to see it, and if a tourist did not listen to the advice and directly broke into the white miasma, it would be a great risk for Zhelong Village.
When the fat man came to his senses, he found that Zhao Shucheng and the others had already walked away, and even almost passed through the cloud bridge.
"No, why are you leaving? Don't wait for me."
Seeing Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi stop on the cloud bridge and look down, he asked, "No, Mr. Zhao, why don't you leave?"
"We are looking for the location of the underground palace of King Xian."
Hu Bayi looked at the sea of clouds rolling and unfolding, and said, "There are records in Yin and Yang Feng Shui. Before looking at the mountains, look at the water first. If there are mountains but no water, don't find the land. Mountains and waters are originally a pair of Yin and Yang. If there are mountains and no water, you cannot call it the dragon vein."
"Since the mountains follow the water, yin and yang depend on each other, two mountains and one water, the mountains and rivers meet, that is, the dragon stops. In my opinion, this place just fits the pattern of the Emperor's Cave with two mountains and one water, and this old man Xian should be under the deep pool we saw before."
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but complain: "So we almost entered the underground palace of King Xian before, but now we can only waste time?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. This time I've got some gains. At least I know that the Huchen Bead is really in the tomb of King Xian, and it's on the crown above my head. If we don't come this time, maybe we will find the tomb of King Xian, and we won't find anything. Besides, there is an underground palace under this deep pool, so we can't really dive in. We don't bring diving tools, so we should just enter from the normal entrance."
After saying that, the group followed the road he had come up before and returned the same way, preparing to go to Shentan to find the entrance to the Xianwang underground palace.
However, when the group came to the hillside and faced the entrance of the cave that had entered here before, they heard fierce gunfire, screams from people, and some strange roars.
"Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, Staff Yang, have you heard it?" Wang Kaixuan asked curiously at the entrance of the cave.
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I heard that it should be the people from Zhelong Village. I don't know what danger they encountered when they caught up after we left."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Oh, do you think they encountered the Huo Immortal Worm just like us? Then can they deal with it with the hunting rifle in their hands?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the immortal insect of Huo, because this thing is so big, it's hard to support one. If you want to support the second one, it's not enough even if King Xian sacrifices all his people. But looking at them like this, they should have encountered a traitor."
"Are you?" When the others heard the name, they looked at Zhao Shucheng with some confusion.
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Do you still remember the dead floats we saw on the lake? Those dead floats are not meant to scare people. On the one hand, they are food for the Huo family's immortal insects. On the other hand, these dead floats are specially prepared for the savages by King Xian. The so-called savages can actually be said to be monsters made with witchcraft. Because they are made of human placenta, they look like humans, but they are extremely ferocious and can only attack any living creature."
Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "But if there are really people, why didn't we see them?"
"This means we have to mention King Xian's strategy. He has a high attainment in art and even discovered the mutual generation and restraint relationship between the Immortal worms of Huo and the human."
Zhao Shucheng said as he looked inside the cave and continued, "This Huo family immortal insect can devour the worms and thus maintain their lives. The worms are also afraid of the worms of the worms of the worms of the worms, so most worms will only wait for the right time to be born in the dead float for a long time."
Yang Xueli felt that it was a little unreasonable and asked, "But if this was true, over thousands of years, the Huo family's immortal insect should have eaten almost the same amount of dead floats or savages. How could there be so many dead floats?"
"This has to be mentioned a problem, that is, the Huo family's immortal insects can only eat living things, but instead turn a blind eye to dead objects and ignore them. Most of the dead floats are concentrated in one area, but when the trampled person does not break out of his body, they will not be discovered by the Huo family's immortal insects."
"The water in this cave is not stagnant water, but flowing living water. Therefore, occasionally there will be dead drifts away from the large group and stay away from the Huo Immortal Worm. People feel safe, so they break out of their body, but they don't know that they will become food for the Huo Immortal Worm."
When Zhao Shucheng saw the others who believed it, he smiled and said, "Don't think it's incredible. Actually, this is normal. I was still wondering how there were strange stones in this cave. Now I think it's all traces left by the Huo Immortal worms after they were preyed on. With the long years of erosion, people cannot find the abnormality as soon as possible."
After saying that, Zhao Shucheng shouted directly into the cave: "It's safe here, people from the Dragon Village, come here quickly!"
At this moment, the people from Zhelong Village were experiencing a life-and-death crisis in the cave. Enkuan led the people from Zhelong Village to track Zhao Shucheng and the others to the cave and saw the seriously injured Huo Immortal Worm. They were originally curious about why there were such a huge creature here, but while watching, they did not notice that they were surrounded by evil people.
When they heard the strange sound and looked back, the sage had already begun to attack, and two tribesmen were even more unprepared and were eaten up by the sage.
Seeing this, the others in Zhelong Village turned their backs to the Huo Immortal Worm and began to fight against the evil people. However, because the environment here is dark, they can only barely resist, and the tribe members are injured from time to time.
I don’t know if they should be lucky or unlucky, because relying on the Huo Immortal Worm, the attack of the savages was always a little far away from them, so it gave them a chance to breathe.
But unfortunately, they had no idea that the Huo Immortal worm they were leaning against had regained their vitality after several hours of healing, and even needed to eat to make up for the loss of the healing injuries. Because the people in Zhelong Village were close, they became the best food, and they could even be said to be delivered to their mouths.
The first victim was Zewa. Although he bravely resisted the savage, he walked to the mouth of the Huo Immortal Worm and was directly swallowed by the Huo Immortal Worm. After seeing this, the other tribesmen of the Dragon Village were so scared that they retreated repeatedly. Only Enkuan was unwilling to leave, and even shot the Huo Immortal Worm, which forced the Huo Immortal Worm to spit out the savage and attack other people or savages.
Even though Zewa still had a trace of breath, it was covered with green mucus as it entered the mouth of the immortal insect, and it had corroded into the bones and was in the near future.
The people in Zhelong Village were seriously injured. At this moment, they heard the voice of Zhao Shucheng and knew that there was not much danger there. The Huo Immortal Worm was also fighting with the worms, so they retreated towards the entrance of the cave while resisting the worms close.
However, Zhao Shucheng did not continue to wait for the people from Zhalong Village to come out. Instead, when he heard the gunshots approaching here, he led Hu Bayi and others to the underground palace.
Hu Bayi said a little unbearable: "Master Zhao, won't we help them?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "We don't have much to do, let alone if we meet with them, it's still unknown whether we can continue to explore the tomb. You must remember that King Xian is probably the ancestor of the people of Zhelongzhai. Who do you think would want to see his ancestors being stolen and dug tombs? Besides, King Xian's tomb is unpredictable. They guard the entrance of the cave and can survive. If we can come out, we will take them away with us."
Hu Bayi and others heard Zhao Shucheng say this and looked at each other. Wang Kaixuan even said, "Old Hu, I think Mr. Zhao is right. These people are still waiting for the help of Yunchenzhu! Besides, we have done our best, so they can't always wait for us to save them, right?"
Although Hu Bayi was a little helpless, he also knew that Zhao Shucheng had just asked the people from Zhalong Village to come to the entrance of the cave, which was already kind and righteous.
When the group came to the valley and saw the deep pool, the sky suddenly changed. However, because the group was a little dark in the valley, they did not notice this change.
