He Siniang took a closer look at the surrounding environment. This terrace seemed to be naturally formed, but it had been cleaned by people. The terrace was about two feet square, and most of it was hidden in the rock wall. The part that protruded outward was only Half a foot long, this stone statue is placed in the middle of this part. The stone statue has its hands behind its waist and its head is slightly drooped, as if a person is admiring the scenery in the valley. Not far behind the stone statue is the part of the platform hidden in the rock wall. , it was a three-foot-high cave, with a stone gate clearly visible inside. He Siniang was instantly happy when she saw the stone gate. She turned around and shouted, "Taoist priest, come quickly, we have found the entrance to the underground palace!"
Taoist Ghostface and Luo Laoqi heard the news, responded hurriedly, and then began to pull the flying lock across the cliff. He Siniang wanted to take this opportunity to check the situation of Shimen first, but she was worried about the safety of the two of them. So he met them on the edge of the cliff and landed safely, and then said, "I'm sure I won't be wrong this time. The entrance to the cave where Lin Nan escaped from in the legend of Qiuchi Kingdom must be here."
The Taoist priest with a grimace glanced at the stone door a few steps away, then at the stone statue in front of him, nodded and replied: "'What a fairy throne.' I'm afraid this stone statue was carved by Mr. Zhao, right? Why don't you come out to look at it?" Lookout? His grandma almost scared Si Niang out of his wits. When things are done, he comes out later, Lao Qi, give him a kick and let this guy pretend to be a ghost all day long."
"If Sajia hadn't gotten a bit sprained in his calves from climbing the cliff, I would have kicked him down now. I would have just let him stand for the last time until he comes back. What should we do now? We have found the door, so we can throw it away. On the arm?"
"Don't panic. The stone door is alive. Don't worry. Get all your equipment first to save yourself the trouble of going in." The Taoist priest with a grimace had already caught a glimpse of a crack in the stone door. Judging from the stone statues on the terrace, it was probably intentional. I just want to leave a living door for the dead soul of Zhao Jiuxiang to come in and out freely. Even from here to Zhao Jiuxiang's tomb, it is likely to be an unobstructed situation. This also reminds the Taoist Grimace that the three of them must not be hindered by obstacles. Just relax your vigilance. If Zhao Ouxiang catches the heart of the tomb robber and hides a trap somewhere, you will regret it when you encounter it.
The grim-faced Taoist priest reminded the two of them a few words, and then after they finished counting their equipment, they walked side by side towards the stone gate.
When we arrived at the stone gate, the situation was as expected by the Taoist Ghost Face. The half stone door on the left opened a gap. The gap was only relative to the tall stone gate. If a person turned sideways, he could pass through. The Taoist Ghost Face He leaned against the crack in the door and listened inward, only to smell the wind blowing behind the door, and felt that the space was not small, so he turned around and said careful words to the two of them, then took He Siniang's torch and got in first.
There is still a tunnel behind the stone gate. In addition to the artificial smoothing of the ground, the three walls of the cave are extremely rough. There is even an inverted stone cone on the top of the head. When the Taoist priest with a grimace lights up the torch, he can only feel the light and shadow interlacing with the jagged cracks in the rock. , with a natural and restless look.
The grim-faced Taoist priest was a little confused. Zhao Buxiang had built such a magnificent building in Gu Zhongling. Why was he reluctant to repair even the cave walls in the underground palace? Could it be that the budget was wasted? He thought about it and had no idea, so he simply didn't waste time on it. Just when he was about to turn around and warn him, Luo Laoqi, who was following closely behind, made an ouch and his head hit the stone cone.
Luo Laoqi was tall and had a carefree temper. As soon as his eyes wandered, he pretended to be strong with the stone awl. This time, he was directly hit by the stone awl two fingers wide and broke into two pieces. Luo Laoqi himself was even more painful and cursed. I couldn't say anything anymore, I covered my head and bumbled for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence from the roots of my teeth: "Old Zhao, I'm going to fuck your grandma!!!"
The Taoist priest with a grimace felt a little guilty for not being able to remind him in time, and asked Luo Laoqi if there was something wrong with his head. Luo Laoqi took his hand in front of his eyes and looked at it. When he saw no blood, he said: "If there is no bleeding, it's fine. Grandma's feeling is like being beaten." Someone knocked a sap."
He Siniang also followed in from outside the door at this time. When she saw the broken stone cone on the ground, she picked it up curiously. She just took it in her hand and looked through it, and suddenly wondered: "Huh? Why is this stone so strange?" weird?"
"What kind of stone?" The Taoist Priest with a grimace and Luo Laoqi both looked at He Siniang. After seeing the stone awl in his hand, Luo Laoqi couldn't help but snorted and said, "What's wrong? Isn't it hard enough?" "
"No matter how hard I am, can I beat your head? Just to make a point, what kind of stone is this? Why does it look strange?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace walked over after hearing this. After taking the stone cone, he immediately noticed something strange. The material of this stone cone did not look like an ordinary stone, but more like a black vitriol. There was no It felt particularly cool. The grim-faced Taoist priest had never seen this kind of stone before, so he held up the torch and looked at the top of his head carefully. He saw that the densely packed stone cones along the cave wall seemed to be made of this kind of material, as if there were some stone cones on the top of the cave. A certain substance seeps down and condenses to become normal.
The grim-faced Taoist priest turned his head and looked at He Siniang, who shook his head to express his ignorance, so the grim-faced Taoist priest said: "Just now, I was wondering why Zhao Buxiang was reluctant to repair the cave wall. Now it seems that it is not the case, but that after repairing it, Something seeped in, what is this thing? Some kind of mineral?"
"No way. Since this thing can seep in, it proves that it is liquid. Why does it become solid again halfway through the flow?"
"This may have something to do with the temperature or humidity. The ice skates in Pindao's hometown look like this in winter, but the material of the thing in front of me is something Pindao has never heard of. It seems that there is... something in the rock wall above our heads. .”
"What's there? Taoist priest, please don't scare people, okay?" Luo Laoqi looked up at the roof of the cave, stood up on tiptoes and stretched out his hand to pound on the wall of the cave, and then said: "It's just an ordinary stone, what else can there be?" ?”
"If there is nothing on the top of the cave, are these stone cones popping up for no reason? But we don't have to worry about it. Now that we see something fishy, just be careful. If this is really the fluid mechanism hidden by Mr. Zhao, then The posture in front of me is probably useless."
"Yes, this thing may really be made of some kind of kerosene that leaked out and condensed. For safety's sake, it's better to lower the torch. At this moment, I heard the wind whimpering in front of me. It seemed that there was an extremely powerful person not far away. Let’s not waste the vast space here and move on to take a look, shall we?”
"Okay! It's important to catch fish." The Taoist priest with a grimace and Luo Laoqi nodded in agreement. Then, in order to prevent the leaking kerosene above their heads, the three of them extinguished two torches, leaving only the Taoist priest with a grimace to hold one to lead the way. , the three of them continued to go deeper into the cave in a formation of one in front and two in back, and walked more than twenty steps. The grim-faced Taoist priest at the front suddenly stopped, and then said: "We have arrived!"
