The ghost-faced Taoist priest suspected that the river at the foot of the mountain appeared after the rain changed its course. After all, there had been an earthquake nearby some time ago, and the river in front of the valley was wiped out. Presumably the nearby river was not stable, so after the heavy rain Only then would this river suddenly appear, otherwise Meng Qingyao had gone behind the mountain to look for the Huangquan Ferry, and would have never mentioned this river when he saw it. But as a result, the feng shui situation here changed. From good luck to bad luck, The atmosphere in the tomb will also completely change, so if there are zombies in the tomb, they will inevitably transform into corpses when they encounter strangers.
The grimace Taoist felt that this discovery was extraordinary and directly related to the safety of several people when they went to the tomb. He looked around and found no other useful clues, so he immediately turned around and returned to the cave, preparing to tell He Siniang and Mr. Luo this information. Seventy-two people.
Back in the cave, there was no sign of He Siniang and Luo Laoqi near the Xiang Hall. The Taoist Priest with a grimace quickly walked up to the Flying Pavilion, stretched out his head and looked forward, and found that the light of their torches had reached six or seven. Outside the stone hall, he saw that he was almost at the end of the lower building. The Taoist Priest with a grimace knew that with He Siniang's capable behavior, after searching the lower floor, he would directly turn to the upper floor and search back. Instead of chasing after him, it was better to go back quickly. Go to the upper floor and continue searching for elixirs. When the time comes, meet them above. With that in mind, he turns around and enters the Hall of Enjoyment. As he passes by the front hall, he quickly glances at the altar table and discovers that the jade cup, silver plate and incense burner are gone. , only the wooden altar table was not carried away. He secretly cursed Luo Laoqi for not changing his bandit style in Xiling after all this time. Whenever this guy passed by, there was almost no grass growing there. Why did he take away a broken incense burner made of bronze? , it’s not too heavy either. I really need to educate this guy some time. He likes to pull all kinds of junk into the bag. When the time comes, the backpack will become too heavy and these people will have to help carry it.
The Taoist priest with a grimace returned to the sixth stone hall on the upper floor as planned. After searching the sixth and seventh stone halls, and stepping on the flying pavilion to go to the eighth room, he suddenly saw the person in the flying pavilion. The handrail was broken. When he was about to take a closer look, he caught a glimpse of something on the rock wall. The Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly held up a torch and looked over. He saw a deep ravine in the rock wall, about four feet wide. It extended straight down from here. The torch in his hand could not illuminate very far, but he vaguely felt that the ravine seemed to be bottomless, like a sharp sword making a cut on the cliff. What surprised him even more was that There is also a stone step embedded in the ravine, leading downwards at a nearly vertical slope. The inner walls on both sides of the ravine are also thoughtfully hollowed out with handrails, adding a touch of human care to the originally perverted steps.
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the stone steps going down from top to bottom. Given the slope, even if there were handrails, it was impossible for people to climb. He then looked at the broken handrail in front of him, made a few gestures with his hand and said doubtfully: Could it be that there was originally a flying pavilion company here, but it was later broken? Why? Could this be the underground palace's divine path?
The Taoist Ghost Face has a general idea of the layout of Zhao Xiang's underground palace. The Nine-Turn Pagoda at the bottom of the valley should be a tomb, used to place Zhao Xiang's coffin. The Xiang Palace and Huangquan Ferry are both placed on the cliff. This is for Zhao Xiang's death. Hou Feisheng considered that there should be a divine passage connecting the Xiang Palace and the tomb. Otherwise, what would happen if the tomb owner disintegrated into an immortal queen and got lost? The stone steps in front of me don't look like they are for normal humans. They are probably more symbolic than practical. So could they be the divine passage leading to the tomb?
In order to confirm his conjecture, the grimace Taoist decided to see with his own eyes how long the stone steps were. However, the fire dove used to explore the path was all carried on Luo Laoqi's body, so he thought of a simple way to take the flying eagle. He tied the torch with a lock, then held the rope and kept going to the bottom of the cliff. Through the light of the torch, he could see that the stone steps were indeed going down. There was no end in sight until the rope was almost finished. The Taoist priest with a grimace felt that he had guessed correctly. That's right, going down from here will definitely lead to the entrance of the stone tower. It seems that everyone will not have to worry about the path down to the valley later. The only thing they have to worry about is how to climb down the steep stone steps.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace was thinking about it while retracting the Eagle Lock. At this time, Luo Laoqi's voice came from his ears: "What are you doing here, Taoist Priest, with your butt stuck out? You're not afraid of peeing on the bed even if you're playing with fire."
The Taoist priest with a grimace turned his head and saw Luo Laoqi and Siniang walking over from the stone palace beside him, and said, "Poop on your head, what do you guys find out about this poor Taoist?"
When He Siniang heard this, she walked over first. After seeing the ravine on the rock wall, she wondered: "Is there a stone step in there? Where does it lead to?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace pointed at the bottom of the valley, and then said: "This is the way we will go down to the valley later. Did you two search around and find the elixir?"
"No." He Siniang shook her head: "It seems that this place is just like what the Taoist priest said. Zhao Buxiang has already dug it all over. Not to mention the elixir, not even a rag can be found. "
"The stone temples in front of Pindao also found nothing, so we don't have to waste time following up. We should go to the stone towers at the bottom of the valley to search for the right way. Moreover, Pindao also discovered something on the Huangquan Ferry, which he almost forgot to tell. you."
"Is there something going on outside the cave?"
"Well, the situation is not trivial. Behind the North Cliff, a rapid appeared at some point and was constantly hitting the mountain. Pindao guessed that it might have been caused by the bursting of the embankment upstream after the heavy rain. But in this way, the Feng Shui situation here will be changed. It has been broken and has become a real evil hole. We must be very careful when we arrive at the stone tower. We may encounter the situation of corpse transformation. And from now on, we must step up our actions. If we stay here for another fifteen minutes, we will It will be a bit more dangerous, so just skip the insignificant places if you can, and go straight to Zhao Jiuxiang's coffin room or the ear room where the funerary objects are placed, as these are the most likely places where the elixirs are hidden."
"That's no problem. Of course the Sajia listens to the Taoist priest's arrangements, but the Taoist priest said that these stone steps are the way down to the valley? Is this road for people to walk on? It would be difficult for a monkey to climb it, right?"
"Why the hell are you trying to compete with a monkey? The monkey has no brains and neither do you? You can't think of a solution?"
"I can't think of anything. Let the Sa family rest at home. It's up to the Taoist priest and Siniang to think about it."
"I've thought about it a long time ago! It's better to wait for Zhao Jiuxiang to jump out when you think about it. The reason why these stone steps are so steep is because it is in the position where the gourd's belly is shrinking. The reason why the mountain is leaning forward is that as long as you persist, After this distance, we reach the center of Calabash Belly, and the slope will slow down as we go down. Pindao saw that we used the Flying Eagle Lock to go down the upper section. It was only about ten feet away, and the rope was enough. We waited until we reached the gentle slope below. It will be much easier to climb up, Siniang, you are an expert at this, do you think it is feasible?"
"It's no problem. We can climb down even if it's a rock wall. Besides, there are handrails here for the flying claws to use. I think that's what I'll do. It's up to me to take the lead. The Taoist priest and Lao Qi will wait. After I land safely, I can follow you."
