"You asked me? I still want to ask you?" Lin Bai asked: "You are the daughter of the royal family, so you must be more familiar with the hunting world than me. Don't you know what this place is?"
Chu Tinghan shook his head silently, "Although I am a daughter of the royal family, my father's fiefdom is not in the imperial capital. Over the years, the territory of Chu State has not been peaceful. My father has taken us everywhere to suppress rebellions."
"You can say... I have grown up in the military since I was born. I may not be as familiar with the Imperial Capital as you are."
"As for the internal affairs of the royal family, I know very little about it."
This time it was troublesome, and she didn't know... Lin Bai sighed silently in his heart. He originally wanted to know the origin of this place from Chu Tinghan, but he didn't expect that she didn't know anything either.
"I think you know a lot about this place, otherwise how could you find the underground passage here?" Chu Tinghan looked at the dark passages around him and asked Lin Bai.
"I discovered it by accident." Lin Bai told her what he had discovered. "This place is full of yellow sand, which is extremely strange. Anyone who walks in it will lose their way. However, I found many cities on the yellow sand. They
It was not swallowed up by the yellow sand."
"This is very strange. After all, the yellow sand here is so terrifying. It is impossible for a city to stand on the yellow sand."
"So I started searching in these cities, and finally found a temple, and then discovered the underground passages in the temple."
Chu Tinghan suddenly realized it and asked: "Where do these underground passages lead to?"
"I prefer that it leads to the exit. Otherwise, we will be trapped in this yellow sand world forever until the hunting is over."
Lin Bai took a deep breath, opened his Shura Dharma Eyes and looked forward, "Although we don't know yet whether this passage is the direction of the exit, it seems that we have reached the end of the passage."
Chu Tinghan hurriedly caught up and stood side by side with Lin Bai. In front of them, the light of a candle appeared.
There is no longer darkness ahead. Oil lamps are lit on the stone walls of the passages on both sides, illuminating the way forward and leading into the darkness.
Lin Bai couldn't help but be more vigilant, four flying swords floated beside him, and he slowly walked forward.
Chu Tinghan followed Lin Bai step by step and passed by an oil lamp on a stone wall. She took a closer look and said, "It's mermaid oil."
"What?" Lin Bai asked puzzledly.
Chu Tinghan pointed to the lamp oil in these lamps and said: "This is mermaid oil. Even though it is only a small bowl, it is enough to burn for thousands of years."
"When I followed my father to the imperial mausoleum to worship my ancestors, I saw this object in the tombs of the kings of the Chu Kingdom."
Chu Tinghan looked at it seriously again and said, "The fish oil in this oil lamp is full, which means... someone just changed the fish oil here."
Lin Bai raised his head and looked forward, seeing the end of the passage with flickering lights, "It looks like someone has already arrived here before us."
"Let's go and have a look!"
Chu Tinghan saw that the fish oil had just been changed, which meant that someone had arrived here earlier than them, and seemed to be particularly familiar with the place, and had specially prepared the fish oil change in advance.
The two of them walked forward carefully side by side, slowly walking out of the narrow passage, and a huge underground palace appeared in front of them.
This palace is about a hundred feet high and a thousand feet wide. In the center stands a majestic statue with the image of a woman clearly carved on it.
"Empress Huang Sha."
Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan saw the statue and said its name in unison.
Although the height of this statue is much higher than that in the temple outside, its expression is the same as the statue in the temple outside.
It is the Huangsha Empress enshrined in this Tutu City.
Oil lamps are placed in front, back, left and right of the Baizhang statue. The light emitted complements the statue, making this statue particularly sacred.
"Check the surroundings separately to make sure there is no danger!"
Chu Tinghan showed off his years of experience in the military and gave Lin Bai instructions.
Lin Bai did not argue with her, because she had the same idea as Lin Bai, first to make sure there was no danger around her.
After careful inspection by Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan, they found that except for the two of them, there were no other living creatures and no other gods.
Then we found several passages, going in different directions.
"I found nine passages here!" Lin Bai said to Chu Tinghan.
"I also have nine here." After Chu Tinghan inspected for a while, he returned to Lin Bai and shared the news.
Finally, the two came to the statue again, and Chu Tinghan said: "It seems that the only thing that needs attention here is the statue in front of you."
"Who is this Queen Huangsha?"
Chu Tinghan was puzzled why there was a statue of her here.
Sacrifices and offerings are made all year round by the weak to show respect to the strong. They set up idols for the strong and worship them day and night to protect the strong.
Or it may be to establish a spiritual tablet for the ancestors and pray for their blessings.
Lin Bai's previous speculation... it was very likely that this female warrior quelled the Huangsha rebellion here, so the warriors here set up a statue of her to intimidate Huangsha.
But now Lin Bai has a new idea.
"Why is there still a statue of her under the ground?" Lin Bai didn't understand.
If the statues of gods erected in the city were used by warriors to seek the blessing of Empress Huangsha to protect the city, then what are the statues of gods under the ground used to protect?
"Could it be that my previous guess was completely wrong..." Lin Bai raised his head and looked at the statue in front of him, "This Queen Huang Sha is not suppressing Huang Sha, but is Huang Sha herself?"
"What are you mumbling?" Chu Tinghan heard Lin Bai talking to himself and asked curiously.
Lin Bai told all his previous guesses and put forward new ideas.
"So, according to your speculation... this Queen Huangsha is an evil god?" Chu Tinghan felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Lin Bai took a few steps closer and looked at the statue carefully, "This statue is more real than the statues in the temples in the city!"
"and……"
Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the foot at the bottom of the statue, and immediately felt a breath of life.
"And...it's alive!"
Lin Bai was frightened and hurriedly retreated.
Chu Tinghan saw Lin Bai retreating and immediately followed him.
The moment the two of them retreated, the statue that had been standing still suddenly came to life, and its big palm that covered the sky struck towards Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan.
"Four Symbols Sword Formation of God's Will!" Lin Bai hurriedly moved the sword formation to defend himself in front, and followed the big hand seal's attack, sending Lin Bai flying away.
Chu Tinghan was already injured, but after being slapped again, he fell against the wall with a pale face and a weak breath, and kept spitting out blood from his mouth.
