"Exactly, if you want to tell the Sa family, these bird people are obviously mice. They don't bury them in the nice valleys outside, but come to dig holes in the mountains. It really gives them free time, and the Sa family is also running up and down like monkeys. of."
"What kind of monkey is as big as you and full of wisecracks? You fool, you don't understand that the greater the investment, the greater the return. I'll see if you still complain when I meet my dear. Let's stop talking nonsense here and hurry into the palace. Take a look."
As the grimace Taoist priest spoke, he had already walked to the front of the palace door. Most of the palace doors here were opened on the side of the suspended part, and they were connected to each other by stone bridges and flying pavilions. As far as the eye could see, the nearby palaces and pavilions seemed to be crowded. It is open, or there is no door at all, only a stone door frame. I don’t know if the wooden door has been destroyed or it was originally designed this way. The grim-faced Taoist priest didn't bother to speculate on these unimportant things. He held a torch and walked sideways into the hall. As soon as he took a few steps forward, he saw a solitary thing leaning in the middle of the hall. It looked familiar in the dark. He hurriedly got closer and took a closer look. Look, before she could speak, He Siniang beside her said unexpectedly: "This... Taoist Master, is this a pill furnace?"
"It's an alchemy furnace. Mrs. Qi spends all day making alchemy and visiting Taoists. You should be familiar with this stuff." The Taoist priest with a grimace said while squatting down and taking a look at the mouth of the tilted alchemy furnace. There was a black foreign object on it, which may have solidified into lumps over time. He carefully broke off a piece and sniffed it between his nose, then frowned and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Seeing his appearance, He Siniang hurriedly asked: "Taoist Priest, have you discovered anything?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head and replied: "I didn't find anything, but when I squatted down, I felt like peeing. Do you have any rags on you, Si Niang, that I can use?"
"You...hey, don't you and Lao Qi have any serious ideas? We are fighting backwards, are you still in the mood to shit?"
"Why do you have to worry about taking a shit? Oh no! You two search around first, and I will go out to find a place to make room for my stomach first." After saying this, the Taoist priest with a grimace held his buttocks and ran out of the door. Seeing this, Lao Qi chuckled and said: "Taoist Master is the first person to poop while fighting backwards. Si Niang, please leave him alone. Taoist Master is a straight man. He can poop quickly as he comes. Come over first and see what Sajia finds out." what?"
He Siniang turned to look at Luo Laoqi after hearing this. This guy had already walked into the main hall without knowing it. This main hall was not small in area, with more than ten steps in all directions, but most of them were embedded in the mountain wall. Lao Qi was now in front of the north palace wall that was deep into the rock. He pointed at a stone platform at the base of the wall and said, "Sister, please see if this is a coffin?"
He Siniang walked over quickly and found that the stone platform was about half a person's height and more than a foot long. It fit tightly against the root of the wall. It looked like a stone coffin in size, but there were no gaps around the stone platform. Like a rectangular stone growing in the corner of the wall, He Siniang wondered: "It doesn't look like a coffin, but rather..." She touched the stone platform and found that it was very smooth, as if it had been polished hard. Same, so he continued: "This looks a bit like a stone bed..."
"Bed? A sleeping bed? Has anyone ever lived here?"
"I have lived there before." He Siniang suddenly understood and said, "I understand what the Taoist Master had guessed earlier. This should be the alchemy field of Qin State before Zhao Buxiang built the mausoleum!"
"Siniang is still smart." The grim-faced Taoist priest came in from the outside with his pants lifted, and said: "I have always been curious about where those fortune-telling officials made elixirs back then. Now it seems that it is here, and The immortality elixir must not have been refined either, otherwise the furnace would have been turned off."
"The Taoist priest is saying that demon Taoists originally lived here?" Luo Laoqi asked curiously: "These stone houses were also built by demon Taoists? That's too great a skill."
"I don't think so. This is a royal alchemy field. The king will definitely send a special engineering battalion during the construction. Is it possible to expect them to have powerless demons to dig mountains and build pavilions? But judging from the scale and difficulty of this place, Look, even if the royal family personally carried out the work, the amount of this project is extraordinary. It seems that the ancients were really willing to spend a lot of money in order to live forever, but the river is rolling, and the end result is nothing more than piles of dirt."
"What the hell, the Sa family only cares about the gold and silver treasures not turning into mud. And since this is the place where elixirs were made before, is it possible that the antidote that Siniang is looking for is also here?"
"It's hard to say. After Zhao Buxiang captured all the demons, he probably searched this place. Even if there are some rare pills, he will most likely take them to the mausoleum at the bottom of the valley. But no matter what, we have to Let’s check these pavilions carefully first. Pindao sees that there are two floors here, upper and lower. Why not climb to the top from Pindao? Then we divide our troops into two groups and search from west to east. If we encounter any accident, go up and down. There is only a distance of two feet, so we can always take care of each other."
"Okay! Taoist priest is able to arrange the Sa family and Siniang together, which is what everyone expects. Let's leave quickly, right? Be careful not to step on shit when you go out..."
"Don't be so ridiculous. We have to find the elixir. I asked Siniang to take you because I'm afraid you won't search carefully. This matter is related to Siniang's life and safety. You idiot, please be careful."
"I know, let's go quickly. The Sa family is concerned about Si Niang's affairs."
"Then Si Niang, be careful, Pindao will go to the upper level right now."
He Siniang nodded and gave some instructions to Taoist Ghostface. Then Taoist Ghostface quickly walked out of the stone hall, stepped on the railing beside the door and climbed to the top of the hall.
When the grim-faced Taoist priest just defecated, he had already taken a general look at the layout of the palaces and pavilions on the rock wall. Although there was a distance of two to three feet between the upper and lower levels of the palaces and pavilions, the top of the stone palace on the lower floor was only only a few feet away from the platform above. As tall as a person, he could easily climb to the upper floor by climbing to the top of the temple. However, for the sake of safety, the Taoist priest with a flying eagle used a flying eagle to wrap around the upper railing. Then he exerted force on his hands and feet, and stood there in the next second. On the terrace above.
The layout of the upper floor is roughly the same as that of the lower floor, and the shapes and sizes of the palaces are also similar. The grim-faced Taoist saw that the stone palace in front of him had no door, and there was not even a trace of wood around the door frame, so he guessed that it was built in the same year This may have been the design at that time. Perhaps it was very difficult to transport wood to this cliff. This can be seen from the fact that the entire building complex is made of stone. It would be very troublesome to use stone to open and close the door. It was simply not built. Anyway, these demon tunnels were used to refine elixirs inside, and they were well ventilated. There might even have been a supervisory agency at that time. This design also made it convenient for officers and soldiers to patrol back and forth.
