When it was getting bright outside, everyone woke up from their sleep.
After everyone had a good meal and drank, everyone packed up their clothes and moved forward.
This cave is naturally formed and is full of stalactites hanging upside down.
There was a lot of bat droppings and stuff around.
It seems that no one else has set foot here, at least I haven't seen any traces of human activity.
Xiaohua explained: "There is no need to set up any mechanisms here, because everything that can enter here is a corpse."
We all know what Xiaohua means.
It's like this place is specially designed to dispose of corpses.
And now we just need to find the exit port, and then follow the exit port in reverse direction to enter the palace of immortality.
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.
We walked all morning and finally found the exit in the afternoon.
It was a hole built a little above the underground river.
Think of it as an underground pipe.
The hole is not big, and there is a little moisture inside, but there is not a lot of living water left.
Everyone put on gas masks and then climbed up in this dull and depressing environment.
No one knows how long this passage is, so they can only move forward.
Sometimes, you will even encounter rotting corpses and mummies stuck in the passage.
When you press your hand on it, you will hear the sound of the balloon deflating.
The air smells very bad, even with a gas mask covering your mouth and nose.
I don’t know how long I’ve been crawling, but Li Dabao couldn’t bear it any longer, grabbed my leg and said, “Damn, it’s nine days, I can’t hold on any longer, why is it not over yet?”
The little flower at the front replied: "If you persist a little longer, the estimated incentives should be almost there."
"There should be more than one pipeline like this, otherwise there would be no way to transport such a large number of corpses down."
"The Palace of Immortality is not above our heads. It should be on the other side. Otherwise, it would make no sense for us to climb for so long and not reach it."
Facing Xiaohua's explanation, Li Dabao said impatiently: "You said it lightly. If we turn back, we..."
As we were talking, we heard bursts of whistling sounds coming from above our heads.
The whistling sound was very small at first, but as the whistling sound became louder and louder, everyone's faces became unhappy.
Xiaohua even exclaimed: "Everyone is clinging to the wall, something is coming down..."
But this passage is only so big, so Xiaohua and I are fine.
Behind the wall, there is room for one person.
But Gesang and Li Dabao are relatively large, and even if they are close to the wall, there is not much space left.
If a poisonous snake or giant python fell from above, I think everyone would die in this closed and small space.
It was too late, but it was soon.
The moment we pressed our bodies against the cave wall, something in the pipe was already approaching.
The speed was very fast, and he came down in a swish like a slide.
Gesang was so big that he could hold the sliding thing with one hand.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a dead man.
There was a bright bullet hole above his head.
He was shot in the head.
Looking at this man's very modern clothes, I can only tell that he is definitely not Uncle Yan.
Uncle Yan only went into the mountain with four people. Gesang was by my side, and the other two guys were already dead.
This person either belongs to Mr. Big or the boss.
Otherwise, it’s the people from Guzangfeng.
When Xiaohua saw this person, she frowned.
After a while he said: "He is one of ours."
I hummed and asked, "Our people?"
Xiaohua whispered: "It's us, not you!"
I pointed to the corpse in the passage and asked, "You mean he is also a palace guard?"
Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that he was supposed to be in the village, why did he appear here?"
"Did something happen inside the village?"
Although the village is occupied by Mr. Da and the boss's people, there are still many aborigines in the village, including old, weak, women and children.
No matter how crazy these people are, there is no way they can take action against them.
As for the palace guards, two of them stayed in the stronghold and hid.
As for the reason for this arrangement, Xiaohua didn't say, but I can probably guess something.
I have not disclosed these things to anyone, but I know that Xiaohua and the others must be brewing a huge secret.
The secret is probably to sacrifice everyone, even themselves.
Then bury all the secrets here.
I don’t know whether Xiaohua will succeed in the end, but I won’t take the initiative to say it.
Xiao Hua said: "Get this body down. There must have been an accident above that we don't understand."
As he spoke, Xiaohua began to climb up faster.
During this period, some more bodies fell from above.
These corpses include men, women, and old people.
The circumstances of their deaths are also different.
Some were shot to death, some had their throats cut, and some had their hearts pierced with a crossbow.
Some even had their throats crushed.
Some of them are Mr. Da, and some we don’t know.
When we climbed out of one of the exits, everyone's first reaction was to take off their gas masks and start retching.
Even locals like Xiaohua have very ugly faces.
After all, we climbed up from the sewer bit by bit, not to mention the stench on a few people's bodies.
After everyone retched for a while, they began to observe the surrounding environment.
It was a stone chamber, but it seemed to me more like a prison.
The surrounding walls and floor were all covered in black blood, and various decayed torture instruments were scattered in the surrounding corners.
On another dusty stone platform there were many pottery pots scattered around.
Some pottery pots have been broken, with a lot of black residue exposed inside.
There is a stone door on our side. The stone door is half open. It is dark behind and nothing can be seen.
Xiaohua stood up and observed briefly before saying: "This is a trial pharmacy..."
"We crawled out from the nearest exit. I think there should be many trial pharmacies like this."
Li Dabao shrugged his shoulders, turned to look at me and said, "Um, Jiuri, don't you think the operation here seems to have been seen somewhere?"
I looked around coldly and said, "Of course, I will never forget those things in my life."
"But I can't say that this place is detailed with those places. I can only say that those places should be restored based on this."
"It's just more modern."
"And, someone must have been here a long time ago."
Xiaohua didn’t know what we were talking about and didn’t ask out of curiosity.
Instead, he said: "There is no value in checking here. Let's go out from here and see where we can enter."
"In short, as long as it goes all the way up, it has proven that there is not much wrong with our route...!"
Xiaohua walked in front holding a flashlight.
The passage behind the stone gate is more like a corridor than a corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there is another stone room.
In the center of this stone chamber, there is an alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace is made of bronze, but its size is very small, not as big as expected.
There are many broken utensils in the surrounding corners, including pottery, bronze, and some iron utensils that are so decayed that they break when touched.
There is no need for Xiaohua to explain this time. Everyone knows that this must be a refining pharmacy.
There are many refining pharmacies like this, and each refining pharmacy has two trial pharmacies.
After we visited several alchemy pharmacies, we finally saw the exit door in one of the alchemy pharmacies.
It was a huge stone door, with ferocious beasts carved in relief on it.
We are inside, and we can clearly see that the top door stone behind the stone door has not been moved.
"On the 9th, it seems like no one has come in here?"
"I didn't expect that we were so late and could actually touch places they couldn't touch."
"Maybe if you go out here, you can really filter out the trap..."
