Chapter 339 Gap in the underground palace, mountain god?
Chapter 340 Gap in the underground palace, mountain god?
This canyon is very deep.
This Yuze world is already filled with dark clouds.
The three of them had vines wrapped around their waists, and they slid down about six or seven feet along the vines. The surroundings were almost pitch black, so dark that they couldn't see anything.
But what surprised the three of them even more was that they had slid down such a long distance without even setting foot on the ground. How far is this underground palace from the ground?
I'm afraid it's more than ten feet deep?
No wonder the people in the Tianshi Mansion have been quiet these days. They have been making preparations for the underground palace, the old Taoist said.
This deep valley is unfathomable. Even if the old Taoist priest lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice, it still created an echo effect in the surrounding empty canyon, and his voice was a bit loud.
Jin An understood that the old Taoist priest was suffering from a fear of heights and was deliberately looking for topics to distract himself.
So he kept talking to the old Taoist priests along the way. In fact, his main attention was still on the vines in his hands and the dark canyon under his feet. One was to see if the vines in his hands were strong, and the other was to pay attention to his feet.
Will a dead face suddenly appear, such as the livid-faced Kui Xing Ki Dou?
Speaking of which, the past two days have been too peaceful since meeting the two dead people who came ashore from the Dragon King's tomb the night before yesterday. Jin An always felt that these two dead people must have run into the underground palace under the deep valley in advance? Or?
Have you been dormant in the dark and seen that all of them have gone down into the deep valley and are now coming down quietly?
Thinking of this, Jin An subconsciously looked up at the sky. He was covered in jewels. Although he would not be blinded under the dark cliff, the illumination of the divine treasure in the deep valley was really limited.
The old Taoist priest’s plaque is now carried by Jin An.
After all, they were going down to the valley. The old Taoist priest was weak and it was difficult to move with him.
After sliding down another two feet, Jin An estimated that they had now slid down ten feet. His hands were full of the bitter smell of grass juice grabbed from the vines. Suddenly, Jin An frowned and paused slightly in mid-air.
He paused for a moment, and then continued sliding down the vines as if nothing had happened.
"Little, little brother, don't tell me that I am always suspicious. Ever since I went down to the valley, I have felt numbness in my back. I always feel like there are eyes behind my back staring at me. I feel a little chilly in my back and my hands and feet are stiff.
It's cold." The old Taoist priest shivered a little as he spoke. He was really freezing.
Jin An turned to look at Chi Jian: "Do you feel the same way about Chi Jian?"
Sharing the sword, old Taoist priest, Jin'an.
This is the order of the three of them.
The master and the apprentice protected the ordinary old Taoist priests in the middle so that they could respond to emergencies at any time.
“Master, I feel the same way.” Chi Jian still had the same expressionless expression as if he were alive or dead. If Jin An didn’t take the initiative to ask him questions, he could remain silent.
Jin An frowned: "Actually, not long after I went down to the canyon, I also had this strange feeling. Several times I felt someone's eyes staring at me from behind. The deeper I went into the canyon, the closer the eyes were to my back. It seems that the old man has weak perception.
Some have never felt this way until now, and when he noticed something strange, the coldness had already penetrated deep into his bones, the yin energy had surged, and the yang fire had shrunk."
After finishing speaking, he said to Chi Jian: "Chi Jian, you hand the wine gourd to Lao Dao and let Lao Dao take a sip of wine to warm himself up. The temperature difference in this canyon is huge, so I'm afraid Lao Tao won't be able to withstand it for long."
“It seems that this is the reason why the flying birds disappeared and the Tianshifu wooden kite fell into the deep canyon. Because of the large temperature difference at the bottom of the canyon, coupled with the complex terrain and dim environment, it is easy for the body to freeze or hit the cliff.”
Jin An did not mention that during the previous exchange of information, someone said that they had seen ghost eyes deep in the canyon. After all, they were still hanging in the air, surrounded by pitch black, the environment was unknown, and the old Taoist priest was afraid of heights.
I don't want to bring too much negative pressure.
Since the previous group of people were able to go down the canyon unharmed, it means there is no danger here.
If there really is something unclean hiding in the darkness to harm people, it would be impossible to do it silently with the help of the Jade Capital Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion.
Next, he sharpened his sword and grabbed the vines, stepped on the uneven rocks and kicked hard. He swung to the old Taoist priest's side with agility, put the wine gourd into the old Taoist priest's hand, and then returned to the original place.
"Old Taoist, you have weak bones. When you can't stand the cold, take a sip to warm yourself up. You should take the wine gourd with you first. It won't be too late to sharpen the sword later." Jin An asked the old Taoist priest not to be polite to sharpening the sword. Anyway, this is
There was several days' worth of wine in the wine gourd, and the old Taoist priest could endure it for a long time if he took one sip after another.
Unexpectedly, it was quite far away from the underground palace. The three of them slid down about twenty feet before finally landing on solid ground.
The sound of feet stepping on tiles was heard. They were standing on the roof of an underground palace, and the roof of the underground palace collapsed with several large holes.
There were several holes in the collapsed roof that he could see in front of him.
And in the invisible darkness, there will only be more holes.
Jin An picked up a stone at his feet and threw it hard into the distance. There was a sound of the stone hitting the tiles, which showed that the scale of the underground palace was very large.
Several collapsed holes appeared in front of me. There were messy shoe prints on the edge of each hole, and a strong vine hung down from each hole. There was a dark patch of darkness under the hole, making it impossible to see the environment underneath.
At this time, the old Taoist priest handed over a torch.
Jin Anle, give the old Taoist priest a thumbs up.
Sure enough, experience in the wild depends on experience. The preparation for going to the underground palace this time was quite complete.
Finally down to earth, the old Taoist priest looked much better, and once again showed a proud expression in front of his thumb.
Next, Jin An randomly selected a nearby hole and threw the torch down. The torch did not go out and the fire did not become smaller, indicating that the air in the underground palace was fresh and he could go down.
Seeing that there was no danger, Jin An took the lead to go down to the underground palace hall, and then met the old Taoist priest and the sharp sword below.
The fragments from the collapsed tiles overhead accumulated a thick layer of dust in the underground palace, indicating that the roofs of these underground palaces had collapsed a long time ago and were not blown up by the group of people who came down from the Tianshi Mansion first.
The main building of the underground palace has actually always been buried deep underground. However, the ground cracked and the roof of the tip of the iceberg was exposed.
Of course, the environment in this underground palace is very dry, so it is possible for such thick dust to fall.
When Jin An picked up the torch again and shined it behind him, he saw a thick stone wall standing behind him. The wall was about five or six feet high and was embedded in the cliff.
To be more precise, if there is no huge chasm opened by miraculous craftsmanship, the entire chasm should be built deep underground.
“There are walls and a tiled roof here. Is this the Minglou?”
Minglou is the gateway to the underground palace.
There is a gate to guard the mausoleum and a wall to guard the mausoleum.
Chi Jian, who had walked around the stone wall and returned, returned to the original place at this time: "Master, this underground palace is buried deep underground. If it is a bright tower, there should be a door. I didn't see the door."
Jin An was startled when he heard this. He and the old Taoist priest took a closer look and found that there really was no way.
“If there is no door, doesn’t it mean that we are not at the outermost periphery of the underground cave, but have already gone deep into a side hall of the underground palace?”
Jin An said, and began to slowly explore how big the side hall was.
The advantage of the previous group of people who went down to the underground palace earlier than them is that even if there is any danger in this side hall, it has already been cleared away, so the three of them can move around safely in this side hall.
Anyway, they were already far behind and were not in a hurry. The three of them planned to work steadily in this underground palace and make every step of the way.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.
The specific origin of this place cannot be told by the Underground Palace in person, so it is necessary to explore the truth by looking for details.
“Sharp the sword, give it.”
The old Taoist priest threw the wine gourd in his hand back to Chi Jian, saying that after coming to the underground palace here, the cold feeling on his back disappeared. Now he is warm after drinking wine, so he won't need the wine gourd for the time being.
Cut the sword to catch the wine gourd.
This side hall is not small at all. The more Jin An explores, the more surprised he becomes. It is more than enough for a temple.
“Huh?”
The old Taoist priest not far away suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Jin An and Xiejian, who were exploring other places, rushed over with torches in hand to ask what was wrong.
They did not have chickens, ducks, geese and other live birds to test the air level in the underground palace, so they temporarily used torches to test the air circulation in the underground palace.
When the two people rushed to the old Taoist priest who was also holding a torch, they saw a huge tortoise shell on the ground.
That tortoise shell is bigger than the door panel.
Jin An was stunned for a moment, thinking that this must be at least a thousand-year-old bastard, right?
This temple was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the only thing that was still clean was this thousand-year-old tortoise shell. He saw ancient characters engraved on the tortoise shell.
But the ancient characters are similar to oracle bone inscriptions, but they also seem to be more complex and older than oracle bone inscriptions?
The three of them studied for a long time but could not figure out what was written on the thousand-year-old tortoise shell.
It is true that the word "mountain" is quite vivid.
is also the only ancient character they can understand.
“Mountain God?”
Ever since he learned about the relationship between the Four Symbols of the End of the World, the Shackles of the Yang World, the Age of Great Controversy, the Paradise of Cave Heaven, and the Mountain God, Jin An now feels like a mountain god in everything he looks at.
The old Taoist priest looked at the huge tortoise shell on the ground and marveled: "Little brother, do you think these tortoise shells left by a thousand-year-old bastard are the remains of the mountain god?"
Jin An shook his head and felt that something was wrong. He said that he just made a random guess. He also said that it was a pity that the mountain god was found so easily by them, so it would not have been mysterious for thousands of years and disappeared from all ancient books and historical records.
.
"Although I can't understand it now, there will always be someone who can understand it when I get it outside. Old Dao, don't you have pen and ink? You can copy these words first, and we will find someone who can understand it when we get out.
look."
Since it can appear in the underground palace of Dongtian Paradise, this thousand-year-old tortoise shell must have left important information. Jin'an left the old Taoist priest to copy the ancient characters on the tortoise shell, and he and Xiejian continued to explore this side hall.
Just then, no valuable clues were found. After the old Taoist priest copied the ancient turtle shell characters, the three of them continued to advance in the underground palace with torches in hand.
Just now, he and Jiejian had already looked for the exit of the capital palace.
