The old patriarch Enkuan blamed Zhao Shucheng and others for losing his son, but when he saw the heavy casualties and the tragic people who were chasing him, he was also extremely sad for a moment.
Especially when hearing the tribesmen's last wish to take them home before their death, Enkuan was even more ashamed.
So when the tribesmen all came to the opposite side of the cliff, Enkuan had no choice but to follow him. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the cave with explosives in his arms.
While waiting for the scoop to approach, Enkuan lit the lead without hesitation, blew up the entrance of the cave, and died with the scoops who were chasing him.
The people from Zhelong Village were cut off their way home, and the clan leader and the originally established young clan leader were gone. Everyone was a little confused for a moment.
Zhalong was ready to move on to the treasure of King Xian’s tomb, but he knew that he had no prestige in the village. If he wanted to fight against Zhao Shucheng and others, he still needed the help of his clan members.
It just so happens that there is a more suitable candidate here, that is Ada. He is kind and upright, and his superb marksmanship. He has a high prestige in the village and is now the best candidate to command the tribe.
"Ada, we can no longer go back to the same path. The patriarch and Zewa died here because of those foreigners. We cannot give up, we must catch them."
Ada looked at the remaining tribe members and said, "Zhalong, we have many dead so far. Is it necessary to continue pursuing those foreigners? Why don't we go back to the village now?"
The remaining tribe members of the Zhelong Village also agreed and agreed to return to the village now to avoid any further damage.
Seeing this situation, Zhalong knew that it was unrealistic for him to let his clan members continue to pursue Zhao Shucheng and the others, but he didn't want to return like this. He had long been thinking about the treasures in the Insect Valley, but he did not take action because of the head of Enkuan before. Now, Enkuan and Zewa have finally died, and these treasures are completely within their reach. It would be a pity to give up like this.
"Ada, I also know that everyone is tired and scared, but can we go back by ourselves? You have seen the dangers along the way, and now there is no way back. On the contrary, there are only four people in the foreigners, but there are no damage along the way. It is not safe for us to go back by ourselves, so it is better to follow their steps and follow them safer."
After hearing this, Ada thought for a while and felt that this might be a good idea. At least the group of people were together and took care of each other.
Zhao Shucheng and the others were still at the bottom of the cliff at this moment. After searching for a while, they did not find any other entrances to the underground palace. At this time, Ada and the tribesmen of Zhelong Village had also arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
"Brother Hu, Brother Zhao!"
When Hu Bayi and others saw the people from Zhalong Village coming to the bottom of the cliff, they were immediately wary and said, "Why are you coming down?"
"Our patriarch blew the hole into pieces and couldn't go back the same way, so I want to see if you have any other ways to leave."
"It's hard to say now. We are here to find medicine to help our lives." Hu Bayi said and asked Wang Kaixuan to show off the erythema on his back.
When the people from Zhelong Village saw it, they burst into laughter and even showed the red spots on their bodies. However, they looked a little similar, but there was still a big difference when they looked closely. Fatty Wang directly exposed it and said that the erythema of these tribesmen was caused by eczema caused by not taking baths all year round, which was completely different from theirs.
At this moment, the bottom of the cliff was originally a little bright, but suddenly it became a little dark. After everyone looked up, they found the changes in the celestial phenomena in the sky.
The ordinary cloudy days just block the sun, but the celestial phenomena are different at this moment. The dark clouds continue to stretch down like a tornado. The valley bottom was originally a little dark, but at this moment it seemed to be full of gloom, and it seemed like everyone was already in a dark underground palace.
"Brother Hu, what's going on? Is it because it angered the mountain god?"
Hu Bayi said: "This kind of celestial phenomena has been recorded in ancient Feng Shui books. The black air between the sky and the Han Dynasty is connected, which is called the black pig crossing the Tianhe River. In the secret art of the sky, this is called the Yuhou invading the mirror. Don't worry, this is just a normal weather change, and it may rain heavily in a while."
Zhao Shucheng knew that Hu Bayi did not tell the truth. It seemed to be a normal astronomical phenomenon, but in fact this situation rarely happened. In "Theory of the Qingzhu Earth Qi", it is said that when a black pig crosses the river, it must be that there are ancient corpses here, so that the corpse energy rushes from the yin to the yang, covering the sun, moon and starlight.
So when everyone was scattering and resting, Zhao Shucheng asked Hu Bayi if he also felt that there was danger in the underground palace. Hu Bayi explained the meaning of the astronomy, and it was best for everyone to be careful. The reason why he didn't say it clearly just now was that he was worried about everyone's panic, especially the people in the Zhelong Village.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Old Hu, you don't need to be so nervous. Although rainy transits are rare, they are not without them. You can even encounter them at specific terrain at specific times."
"This tomb of King Xian is here. We are about to find the entrance, but this celestial phenomenon that is rare in a century does not necessarily mean danger, but it just means that we are coming at the right time."
Zhao Shucheng looked at the visions in the sky and the deep pool, and said, "I was wondering how they built the underground palace under the deep pool before. After all, we searched for a circle but didn't find any entrance to the underground palace, but if King Xian and the others rely on diving to build it, it would be impossible to accomplish in that era."
"But now that I saw the passing of the rainy weather, I made some sense. King Xian must have changed the land vein pattern here at that time, causing such strange phenomena to occur here regularly, so that the bottom of the cliff will be exposed and convenient for everyone to construct. Because it is rare here, few people have seen the passing of the rainy weather, and they feel that such a celestial phenomenon is rare in a century."
As I was talking, I saw that the black clouds that were gradually pressing down suddenly touched the water surface. Like the dragon sucking water, it pumped out a lot of water in the deep pool, gradually revealing the entrance of the underground palace.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before entering the deep pool, Xueli Yang and Hu Bayi taught the people in Zhelong Village to use submachine guns and revolvers correctly, and how to protect themselves when they encounter monsters, so as not to lose their lives in danger. Thanks to the people in Zhelong Village who found submachine guns from the crashed plane while chasing Zhao Shucheng and others, and brought them there, otherwise it might not have been able to meet their needs.
Seeing Zhao Shucheng and the others going to enter the underground palace, Ada said worriedly: "Brother Hu, don't we need to follow you into the underground palace?"
"No need, the situation inside is unpredictable. We are going to survive, so don't take risks with us. If everything goes well, we will leave here with you after we come out. If it doesn't go well..."
Zhao Shucheng stopped Hu Bayi from continuing and said, "Old Hu, you can't say this nonsense. We must come back safely, don't worry!"
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took the initiative to enter the deep pool. Hu Bayi smiled and saw Zhalong who was worried about it on the side, reminding Ada to be careful of Zhalong. The group followed the slippery stones and arrived at the entrance.
Shirley Yang said hesitantly: "Are we going in like this? Fortunately, the water has been sucked up now, but if we cannot come out in time, the underwater tomb passage will not be flooded by the entire underground palace, right? We didn't carry an oxygen cylinder and couldn't hold on for long."
Hu Bayi said: "No, I guess, this tomb of King Xian should not be the kind that is straight-forward to advance, either in the back shape or in the tic-tac-tac-shaped shape. Even if water enters the tomb passage, the underground palace is definitely a closed illusion."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, look at the entrance, the water is no longer flowing out now, which means there is not a lot of water inside."
Shirley Yang sighed and said, "I hope so!"
Not long after I walked into the entrance, I found that there were a row of steps here. After walking for a while, I saw that there was a large space inside.
There are obvious traces of artificial excavation in this cave, and even the steps are built horizontally and vertically, and there are many stone statues inside.
"I finally arrived at the place, it's pretty good to keep it here."
Shirley Yang looked at the stone statues and said, "These stone statues should have a certain deterrent effect."
After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan asked strangely: "Shock? Who does this King Xian want to shock? Are the little fish and shrimps in the water? Lao Hu, are you shocked?"
The others looked at Wang Kaixuan with strange eyes, which made Wang Kaixuan a little puzzled, but he still shut up his mouth with tactfulness.
After everyone walked around the hall, Shirley Yang couldn't help but ask: "Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, how did you think this King Xian trim such a large palace under the water? This is incredible."
Zhao Shucheng said disapprovingly: "What's so strange about this? The tomb of King Xian looks very difficult. You should know that the former Mausoleum of the First Emperor was large in scale, and the tomb of Emperor Guangwu was even more contrary to the conventional terrain of the emperor's tomb behind the mountains and facing the river. Instead, it was pillowing on the river and treading the mountains, which was contrary to the conventional. Shen Wansan, the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty, built a tomb chamber directly under the sea, and no one can find it now."
Hu Bayi said: "I guess it should be in Shi Gongqi case, so I cut off the water veins in the insect valley and dig them from the entrance just now, but such a project is big enough."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, some of the technologies mastered by the ancients are things that we cannot do in modern technology. So instead of guessing, we might as well go inside and find out."
Zhao Shucheng said as he walked to the edge of the hall, looked at the grooves beside the wall, and said, "This should be the oil groove."
"Oil tank?"
"Yes, it is actually equivalent to the eternal lamp in the ancient tomb. After chasing the ancients, there were no electric lamps, so I used an oil lamp. However, the oil lamp consumes oil, so I used an oil tank to ignite it forever."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took out a match, lit it, and threw it in, and saw a shocking picture. From the position where Zhao Shucheng threw the match, he quickly turned toward both sides with flames. After a while, the entire groove was filled with lit flames.
But because of this, Zhao Shucheng and others saw a strange scene on the wall, with many corpses hanging on it, and they were all dry.
"This is……"
Zhao Shucheng sighed and said, "This is what King Xian used to collect corpse oil. The liquids in it should be all corpse oil. I also said where King Xian got so much oil. You should know that King Xian didn't say anything about vegetable oil at that time, most of them were meat oil."
Everyone looked at the messy corpses on the wall, but found that the corpses had their ears and noses cut off and their eyes were ed out, which looked a bit terrible.
Although everyone did not count in detail, after a rough look, there were at least hundreds of corpses inside, and maybe even thousands of them. You can imagine how cruel King Xian was back then.
"Do you think this King Xian is crazy about becoming an immortal? As for how cruel it is?" Shirley Yang asked a little unbearable.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Miss Yang is wrong. This King Xian did not only to become an immortal, but also to maintain his own rule."
"How come you say this? How can such a cruel act be for your own rule? Shouldn't it be because of such an act that your own rule was overturned?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Actually, I just figured it out. You have also seen that King Xian has built many major projects here. Whether it is the previous Yunding Heavenly Palace, the tomb of King Xian, or even the previous gourd cave and the white miasma in front of the temple, it requires a lot of people to carry out. You should know that when Emperor Shin-Er's Mausoleum, he only mobilized 700,000 laborers, which took decades to build. The tomb of King Xian was fully planned, but in fact it took only 20 to 30 years to complete the construction, and the number of people needed was hundreds of thousands."
"King Xian is not comparable to the First Emperor. The First Emperor conscripted labor service nationwide. Although it was a bit exhausting the people and money, most people could still survive. However, King Xian only brought hundreds of thousands of tribe members into the mountains and ridges. The farming area was limited, and he had to build the tomb of King Xian for him. It can be said that every household was in labor service, and even women and children could only cultivate and collect fruits, and they simply couldn't eat."
"If King Xian cannot solve this problem, then when the public is in a state of resentment, it is probably when King Xian will not die well. However, King Xian is not a person who loves the people as much as his son. He is good at using scheming skills, so he uses scheming to control his tribesmen so that they dare not resist. He even does not hesitate to reduce the number of tribesmen so that the remaining people can make a living. However, after King Xian dies, those tribesmen will naturally be unwilling to live in such a place, so that someone will present the map of King Xian’s tomb to King Dian, so that he can seek an opportunity to survive outside."
