"No!" He Siniang immediately objected: "I will never stand by and watch you two risk your lives to open a way, while you live in the back. I will open this way!"
"Oh, don't argue at this point. Pindao and Lao Qi are both rotten people. It's not a pity to die. Lao Qi, come quickly!"
"Both of you, go to the back." Luo Laoqi separated the two of them and came to the stone steps. He spat solemnly and said: "There are so many people that I can't do my best..."
"Be careful!" The grim-faced Taoist priest hurriedly stretched out his hand to Luo Laoqi to pull him back. At this time, a black shadow hit the stairs heavily, and the stone steps were smashed into pieces. The black shadow was not something else, but the same thing as the Mo Yuxingchi. Fighting snakes.
Yin Hui was not feeling well at this time. A single black jade wormfly might not be enough to fill its teeth, but the number of them was too huge. Yin Hui's whole body was almost covered with black jade wormflies. Giant ants like the jade worm fly have six pointed legs as sharp as steel cones. Once inserted between the scales of the gnat, it cannot be shaken off. Once it stabilizes its body, the black jade worm fly begins to use its giant jaws. Bite the Yin Hao's body. The Yin Hao's body is covered with a layer of scales as hard as iron armor, and it is difficult to penetrate even if it is stabbed with a knife or arrow. However, the teeth and jaws of the Black Jade Flyfly are not a vegetarian. According to legend, they are as strong as gravel and can chew repeatedly. Not long after the bite, the scales of the gnat were pierced to pieces. It really fulfilled the saying "too many ants will kill an elephant", not to mention that this ant was not of average size.
Without the protection of the scales, the Yinhao's bite was as painful as a loach thrown into a frying pan. In a panic, his head hit the stone staircase, and accidentally fell to the Grimace Taoist priests. Their escape route was cut off. Lao Qi didn't forget to curse when the gravel was flying, and a flying stone happened to hit him in the head. Luo Lao Qi covered his head and said angrily: "I'll fuck you, you little snake... Ouch..."
The Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly called the two of them to retreat to the corner. Yin Fei had lost his mind at this time. The huge snake body kept swinging around in the stone hall. If the three of them were not careful, they would be swept away by the thick snake tail. Just imagine the feeling. Thinking about it is not as easy as being knocked down by a snake's head.
After the stone steps were hit, the black jade worms on the upper level were still pouring down, but most of their attention was attracted by the insidious ants in front. The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the seemingly endless giant ants and said anxiously: "He Grandma has dug into the ant nest, and no one can escape now." After saying that, he quickly replenished the wrist crossbow nails while taking advantage of his breath.
"Ant's nest...Hey Taoist priest! Do you think this is really an ant's nest?" He Siniang suddenly asked.
"What do you mean? Zhao Buxiang occupied the local palace with the ant nest?"
"If you think carefully about the layout and scale of the mountain, as well as the materials used in the construction, can you find any doubts?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest said to himself that the poor Taoist is about to die. You still have time to let me think about the things that are there and not there. But he is quick in thinking and after a little thought, he knows what He Siniang is thinking: the scale of the buildings in the entire mountain. , whether it is a flying pavilion on the top of the cliff or a stone tower at the bottom of the valley, the difficulty is beyond imagination, but one thing in common is that the materials are all the same mountain rocks. It can even be understood that these buildings are all carved out of the mountain rocks, so this To put it simply, how many craftsmen and years would it take to complete it?
Zhao Buxiang was so willing to spend money on the mausoleum, but some of the important paths the three of them passed along the way, such as mountain climbing tunnels and caves, were too shabby compared to the mausoleum area and underground palace, so this was strange, and the mountain was hollowed out. , but only a few roads are reluctant to be repaired?
The Taoist with a grimace felt that He Siniang believed that the inverted gourd cave in the mountain was not naturally formed, but a nest dug out by black jade worms. After the star divination officials came, they used the army to eliminate the giant ants and occupied it for themselves. This cave was used to build an alchemy field, and the suspended flying pavilion on the top of the cliff was also modified based on the nest of the black jade cricket. The same is true for Zhao Buxiang's nine-turn pagoda, which makes the construction difficulty much lower. The amount of work in the entire underground palace is not as large as expected, so many passages look a bit "shabby".
After the three people entered the cave, they searched all the way. Except for a few coffins, cabinets and funerary objects, the other things they saw were almost all integrated with the stone hall. This also shows that the construction at that time was almost based on local materials. Zhao Ouxiang may have brought them to the cave. The limited manpower and material resources have been invested in the Nine-Turn Pagoda, and some of the facilities outside are naturally not so particular.
However, what the Grimace Taoist is curious about is that since all the giant ants were killed at that time, where did these countless black jade worms come from? There are insect-proof tunnels outside the valley, and the three people in the cave saw no trace of giant ants along the way. Could it be that they came from the bottom of the valley?
At this time, He Siniang said: "I suspect that after the nest was occupied, the giant ants were not killed completely, but fled deeper underground."
"Is there still a nest of ants hidden under the stone tower?" the Taoist priest with a grimace asked curiously: "If Zhao Jixiang can use this place as an underground palace, he should ensure that it is foolproof and that such mistakes will not occur, right?"
"The giant ants are hiding underground, how does Zhao Ouxiang know? But the reason why I am struggling with this issue is because I feel that it may be related to our situation. These giant ants will not come out sooner or later, so why do they come out at this time? "
"Is it because of that snake?" Luo Laoqi kicked away a giant ant that was crawling over. Although he only understood half of what he said, he couldn't help but ask.
"I also feel that the black jade worms and the yin pythons are natural enemies. Only after I sense the activity of the yin pythons, will I come out in full force to encircle and suppress them."
"That's not right!" The Taoist Ghostface suddenly thought of something. He put his hand on the temple wall and felt that the entire wall seemed to be shaking slightly. This vibration was very weak. Unless the Taoist Ghostface touched it deliberately, he would not notice it at all, but the vibration felt But it went on and on, and the Taoist priest with a grimace said hurriedly: "It's a Feng Shui situation! The Qi of this place is going to undergo a big change!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vibration in the palm of the ghost-faced Taoist priest suddenly became stronger, and even the feet began to feel shaking. This time the shaking was different from the previous two times. The force was not fierce, but the shaking feeling became more and more intense, and accompanied by constant The ground was shaking. In addition to the friction between the Yin Jiao and the black jade insect's scales, there was also a strange "click, click, click" sound in the entire stone hall. This sound did not come from a certain direction, but seemed to come from all directions. They gathered together, and the shaking became louder and louder. At the same time, gravel began to fall from the roof of the hall. The three of them covered their heads and leaned against the wall. Luo Laoqi shouted at the top of his lungs: "This fucking earthquake is going to happen again." ! He seems to be a ruthless person this time!"
"It's not an earthquake! Pindao understands, it's a landslide!"
