Chapter 52 Entering the secret path, sent by the fairy grave, please read more)
After listening to the tiger servant quietly, Xu Chong was extremely shocked.
I never expected that underneath this haunted house, there would actually be a rare immortal tomb hidden.
Looking at the dark hole in front of me.
Xu Chong had a vague feeling that this matter must not be simple, and it probably involves some shocking secret.
Why is there a mechanism and entrance to the secret passage in the room of the Hanged Ghost Lao San? And why is it so hidden?
Could it be that this secret passage was built by Lao San during his lifetime? He discovered the Immortal Tomb hidden below very early on? Did he deliberately dig a secret passage in his room to lead down there?
Or was this secret tunnel dug by their ancestors?
Sigh...this matter is so complicated, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Why do you care about so much? Since you have discovered this secret, you must go down there in person. If you are lucky enough to pick up some top-notch skills and magical weapons, or encounter a great opportunity, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Already?
These are all possible!
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and said slowly: "Tiger servant, let's go down again."
Before entering the secret passage, Xu Chong turned around and looked again.
Some people must be arranged to guard it, otherwise if someone bumps into it, it will ruin the good thing.
Also, after entering, the secret passage must be covered with something.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Chong sprinkled a large handful of mung beans and transformed into hundreds of green-clad sword and shield soldiers.
"Listen carefully, from now on, retreat outside the house, guard the door, and don't let anyone get close, let alone let anyone see the scene inside!"
The hundreds of sword and shield soldiers nodded, and then followed the instructions.
This is a precautionary measure.
Xu Chong knew in his heart that except for the three of them, no outsiders would enter the haunted house.
As for Taoist Fang and He Xiaohua, there was no movement for a long time. They were probably casting spells and setting up traps, waiting for evil spirits to appear... Of course, this was just his guess.
I'm too lazy to think about it so much, I'll talk about it first.
After tonight, he would have no chance.
"Tiger servant, let's go in!"
"Yes, Immortal Lord!"
Soon, the master and the servant entered the dark secret passage one after another.
For the sake of safety, Xu Chong transformed dozens of sword and shield soldiers to guard the front and back, while he walked in the middle of the team.
The entrance to the secret passage is relatively narrow, but the passage inside is indeed quite spacious, enough for one person to stand and walk.
After coming down, I found that there was a long stone step inside, extending diagonally underground.
After everyone walked down for about ten meters, they felt a little damp inside.
The air in the secret passage is not as smelly as imagined.
It may be due to air circulation, but everything is considered normal.
When he came in this time, Xu Chong brought a few torches. With the light of the torches, he could clearly see that both sides of the secret passage were made of hard rocks, with dense drops of water seeping out from the rocks.
The steps under my feet were also very damp.
The tiger servant has been here once before, so everyone just needs to follow him.
He lowered his head and looked forward. At the end of the secret passage, there was pitch black.
Faintly, you can still hear the echo of water drops dripping from high in the sky ahead.
Along the way, Xu Chong always ordered the soldiers to carefully observe both sides of the wall to see if there was anything unusual.
The hanged ghost just now was beaten into a two-foot dwarf by the ghost-beating stick, and then got into the ground. According to speculation, it should be hidden in this secret passage.
Sure enough, a sword and shield soldier walking in front suddenly stopped as if he had discovered something.
"Immortal Lord, there is something abnormal here!"
"where?"
Xu Chong hurriedly walked over, and with the light of the torch, he clearly saw a rusty copper lampstand on the left stone wall of the secret passage.
There was an extremely putrid rope wrapped around the copper lampstand.
When they came closer, everyone could clearly see that there was a faint wisp of black smoke on the rope, twining and dancing on it.
Seeing a torch approaching, the plume of black smoke seemed very frightened. It swam and danced faster, but it did not dare to leave the rope.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chong was moved in his heart, "Could this be the body of the hanged ghost practicing parasitism?"
"Burn it!"
Xu Chong didn't waste any time and directly ordered the soldiers to light the ropes with torches.
Instantly, a strange and unpleasant smell filled the entire narrow secret passage.
As the rope was ignited by the torch, everyone seemed to hear a shrill and horrifying scream in the dark secret passage.
After a while, the rope turned into ashes and the wisp of black smoke disappeared without a trace.
From beginning to end, the hanged man never appeared.
Now Xu Chong is not sure whether the thing that was burned just now is its true body.
After pondering for a moment, he waved his sleeves and said, "Continue to explore!"
Sudden,
Right now.
Xu Chong felt the giant fairy book hidden in his mind flash suddenly.
"Hey, is there a reaction on the fairy book panel?"
When I entered my mind with my silent consciousness, I found that my merits had actually increased.
It was six hundred before, but now it has actually increased to six hundred and eighty.
"Suddenly, my merit has increased by 80 points. Could it be that the rope I just burned is really the parasitic body of the Hanged Ghost?"
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Chong felt that it was very possible.
Otherwise, the Immortal Book Panel would not have given it so much merit for no reason.
In the dark secret passage, everyone followed behind the tiger servant and continued to explore downwards.
The secret passage sloping downwards took several turns, but still extended all the way underground.
They walked for about ten minutes. According to calculations, Xu Chong suspected that they walked down at least several hundred meters.
Right now.
There was a sudden change ahead.
The narrow secret passage gradually disappeared, and the front turned into a wide cave.
The cave doesn't seem to be very long, maybe fifty or sixty meters at most.
From a long distance away, Xu Chong could clearly see that the end of the cave was bright, with a faint and strange light shining in.
With the help of the light at the entrance of the cave, the torch in your hand is dispensable.
When he was about to walk out of the cave, the tiger servant suddenly stopped, turned around and reminded Xu Chong: "Immortal Master, after leaving this cave, there is a huge cave in front of you. There are many traps and traps hidden in the cave.
There are defensive arrays, although most of them have been damaged and ineffective over the years, but you still have to be careful."
Xu Chong nodded, "Everyone, please be careful."
Soon, dozens of Tsing Yi soldiers protected the Great Immortal Spreading Beans and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
When Xu Chong just walked out of the cave, the sight that greeted his eyes made him amazed and eye-opening.
I saw a huge karst cave in front of me. The top of the cave was covered with thick and long stalactites.
According to visual inspection, this cave is at least as big as a football field.
The four stone walls of the cave are inlaid with a large number of dark green spiritual stones, many of which are shining brightly, making the entire cave illuminated.
The surroundings of the spirit stone are also covered with various strange runes.
Some of the rune patterns have been peeled off and damaged, while others have a red halo that appears and disappear. They look very unstable, as if they may extinguish at any time.
This should be the defensive array that Hu Pu mentioned, but all of these arrays seem to have been damaged and cannot play a defensive role.
Located in the very center of the cave, there is a flat stone platform of hundreds of square meters. Most of the area outside the stone platform is a dark bottomless abyss.
The tiger servant pointed at the stone platform and said: "The stone platform is the Immortal Tomb. There is a defensive array on it, which is extremely powerful. Those immortal soldiers who came in before were probably killed by the defensive array when they got close to the stone platform.
"
"Defensive array?"
Xu Chong secretly increased his vigilance and looked towards the stone platform.
In the center of the stone platform, nine mummy corpses of immortals appeared.
One of the mummies in black robes had disheveled hair and was sitting stiffly cross-legged on the ground.
The remaining eight immortal mummies seemed to have their hands and feet bound. They all bowed their heads and bent over, kneeling on the ground in an extremely strange posture, surrounding the black-robed mummy.
