Dabao cursed, and immediately the two of them continued to slide down the hole formed by the collapse.
Liu Xia was seriously injured. At this moment, he could only hear the wind blowing in his ears, and thought he had fallen into a trap.
For about ten seconds, there were two plop-plop sounds, and the two people fell into a pool one after another.
Suddenly, a disgusting fishy smell poured into the nasal cavity, making Liu Xia almost vomit.
Dabao pulled Liu Xia and swam to the shore with difficulty, pushed Liu Xia ashore, and then he climbed up.
The two of them were in shock, but they were both moved to tears by the strong smell and couldn't help but retching.
It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.
At this time, Dabao fumbled around for a long time and took out a Luo stone. At that moment, light began to appear around him.
Liu Xia struggled and raised his head to look around. Both of them were dumbfounded.
This is an extremely huge cave. Even though Luo Shi was in the darkness, it was very bright. When you look up, you can't even see the entrance of the cave. All you can see is the darkness above your head.
"What is this place?"
Dabao climbed up and muttered.
Liu Xia covered her nose at this moment, turned around and looked at the pond behind her, and almost vomited out her New Year's Eve dinner.
In the pond they fell into, there were some corpses of spirit wolves floating there. Some were highly decomposed, some had just begun to decompose, and some were already bones.
The water in the pond has long turned dark green, with countless duckweeds floating on it, and exuding waves of disgusting stench.
Beside the pond, there were also many corpses of spirit wolves, some of which were rotten with only bones left, and some of which were rotten and covered with maggots.
Obviously, these spirit wolves all fell down accidentally from the hole above. Some of them had bad luck and fell on the shore and died immediately. Some fell into the pond and died after surviving for a while.
Judging from these wreckage, this cave entrance has existed for a long time, and unlucky spirit wolves have fallen down and died here from time to time.
It's just that the entrance of this hole is like a trap mechanism. If you step on it, it usually won't open, so Dabao and him were caught.
"Amitabha!"
Dabao looked around curiously. At this moment, he also saw the pond where they fell. He couldn't help but also frowned. He chanted the Buddha in a low voice and then continued:
"This place is closed, but the air is not considered rotten. Maybe there is a vent. Let the poor monk find it."
At that moment, Dabao put Liu Xia on his shoulders and walked towards the surrounding stone walls.
"It's strange. This cave is not a natural cave, but was dug by workers."
Under the light of the trapezoid, I can see that the stone wall is very smooth, and there are obvious traces of manual polishing.
Walking carefully around the stone wall, Liu Xia and Dabao came to the conclusion that the cave extended towards a huge wooden barrel without water, and the stone wall extended in an arch shape.
"See if there's an exit!"
Liu Xia said softly.
The two of them touched the wall and continued along the stone wall under the light of the stone. Suddenly, Dabao and Liu Xia were both stunned.
Directly to the west of the cave, there is a gate.
Yes, it's the door.
The stone walls on both sides of the gate are different from the surrounding stone walls because they are made of emerald stones, and a faint metallic luster can be seen in the cracks between the bricks.
The gate is embedded in the stone wall and is about three meters high and sixteen or seventeen meters wide.
The entire gate is divided into three door openings. At first glance, it looks like a gate on a city wall.
The doorway of zhong yang has two red lacquered doors, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them and platinum veneers. There are two ear doors on each side. One has a gold-plated Pixiu carved on it, and the other has a gold-plated unicorn carved on it.
The gold foil has been aged for a long time, showing a faint golden purple color, and the door is rusty, which obviously tells people that there has been some history here.
Dabao pushed the door hard, but it didn't move at all and was closed tightly.
Dabao put Liu Xia on the ground and pushed the ears on both sides unwillingly, but they didn't move at all.
After taking a deep breath, Dabao pressed hard on the door with two pairs of palms. There was a roar and a loud bang, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed, but the door still did not move at all.
Dabao is already a master at the pinnacle of martial arts. Although he has not yet become a master, his strength is not small. After pushing hard, the door does not move at all, which shows that the door must be guarded by a mechanism.
The two people glanced at each other, and immediately began to stroll in front of the gate, looking for clues.
The cave was pitch black. Although Liu Xia didn't believe in the existence of evil spirits in hell, he still felt a little cold on his back.
After a while, the two of them found nothing. Suddenly Dabao stopped and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear anything?"
Liu Xia held her breath immediately, and there was a slight sound of salsa coming from all around.
This kind of sound is like a person walking among dead leaves. It is very clear in such a silent cave.
The two of them looked at the darkness behind them at the same time, and couldn't help but become alert.
"I'm a poor monk, let's go take a look."
At that moment, Dabao took a deep breath, held the Panlong Zen Staff in his hand, held up the stone, and walked towards the darkness.
At this time, Liu Xiayan suddenly saw a dark shadow floating behind Dabao, and immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
Dabao turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
Suddenly, an extremely shrill cry suddenly sounded in the cave.
The sound of salsa became clearer.
At this time, when he saw Dabao suddenly retreating and falling next to Liu Xia, he shouted: "Find the mechanism quickly!!"
Liu Xia immediately stood up and headed towards the door.
Occasionally, when I turned around, I saw something green spreading behind me.
Those things are intertwined and rolling forward slowly, like waves, which is very spectacular.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that it is a swarm of insects. The insects look very much like centipedes. One of them is about twenty centimeters long. They are layered and entangled together, making your hair stand on end.
Although I didn't know what this was, looking at Dabao's face, I knew it was no ordinary poisonous insect.
Dabao beat wildly on the ear door, and the huge wave of poisonous insects behind him got closer and closer.
Liu Xia accidentally came across the relief of Pixiu on the ear door and found that the relief could move. He pressed it hard and shouted to Dabao: "It's a relief!"
Dabao also reacted and pressed the relief button immediately.
At the moment when the Pixiu relief and the Qilin relief sank at the same time, there was a sudden roar, and the ground felt like it was shaking.
At this time, the door of Zhongyang slowly opened, and Liu Xia and Dabao rushed into the door without thinking.
The swarm of poisonous insects behind him stopped unexpectedly on the steps outside the gate. Looking at them so densely packed, one's scalp felt numb.
"What is it?"
Liu Xia asked with lingering fear.
"This is the Celestial Silkworm!"
Dabao also looked at the poisonous insects rolling like waves in shock and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Celestial Silkworm?!"
Liu Xia couldn't help but said in surprise.
Because, Celestial Silkworm is a famous vicious thing on the Dragon Soul Continent, ranking ninth among the top ten poisons.
Even if you are a master, if you accidentally get bitten, you will die. It is usually found in the primitive jungles of the southwest and is very rare.
But in front of them, the silkworms were so densely packed that they were countless. They were spread out seven or eight centimeters thick, rolling and intertwined. If they were submerged, would the two of them be alive?
"How come there are so many Cecilia silkworms here?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"I don't know, let's go to the front and have a look."
Dabao saw that those celestial silkworms did not dare to enter the door, so he said with confidence.
The two people turned around slowly, and it was still dark in front of them.
However, what appeared in front of them this time was a long staircase, slowly extending downwards with no end in sight.
The stairs are all paved with white marble, and there are very exquisite carvings on them. They are also covered with gold foil, which is magnificent.
Dabao supported Liu Xia and walked down cautiously. The surroundings were silent and one could hear each other's heartbeats.
It took about a full stick of incense to finally see the end of the steps. Under the light of the stone, what I saw was a floor paved with jade.
There are exquisite reliefs on the floor, and the floor opposite the steps is actually inlaid with gems to form an aisle.
There are dazzling arrays of jadeite, agate, and bloodstone, extending like gravel. It's very painful to step on them.
The corridor is endless and stretches in darkness.
At this time, Dabao accidentally saw a golden brazier stand on one side. There were things like charcoal ash inside the golden brazier.
Wherever Dabao went, he took out the flint and carefully lit the brazier. Unexpectedly, there was an oil pipe under the brazier. The flames extended along the oil line, and the braziers were lit one after another.
The dark cave suddenly became as bright as day, but Dabao and Liu Xia were stunned there.
Because, they saw an extremely magnificent palace appeared in front of them, with high eaves and teeth, and intrigues.
The entire palace has a white jade roof and gold-painted walls. The walls are inlaid with various patterns with various gemstones. It is extremely gorgeous, just like a heavenly palace.
The location they were in was a huge square. The square was empty. Apart from the braziers, there was nothing else.
This palace was built in such a huge cave, which shows that a lot of manpower and material resources were spent. This made Liu Xia and Dabao think of one thing at the same time - this was an emperor's tomb.
Dragon Soul Continent has a long history. Although dynasties change frequently, there have been dozens of powerful dynasties in history.
For example, at their peak, powerful empires such as Wei, Tianqi, and Longyuan swept across the six universes and stretched across the eight wastelands.
Even the fallen Daqing Dynasty had a history of more than five hundred years and was once a powerful empire.
Compared with these powerful empires, Tianji Dynasty is just a toddler.
The great emperors across the world all built huge mausoleums for themselves, and there are dozens of well-known mausoleums on the Dragon Soul Continent.
As the saying goes, a man cannot prosper without a windfall, and a horse cannot fatten without night grass. Naturally, those tombs have become places where some monks often visit.
In order to rest in peace after death, those emperors also filled their tombs with mechanical seals. The burst of poisonous insects just now confirmed their speculations.
At this time, Dabao and Liu Xia had arrived at the foot of the steps outside the palace. On both sides of the steps, there were dozens of huge jade sculptures. These jade sculptures were all human statues, and the carvings were lifelike.
Dabao took a cursory glance and suddenly said: "This is the tomb of King Wei Wei!"
