It was such an unlucky thing that the city's spies had just made some good progress, and the next step had just begun, but Shen Hao had no time to wait on the sidelines.
Two days later, the smoke miasma could be felt once again sharply reduced even on the ground, and the feeling in the camp could even be said to be minimal. Shen Hao understood that the time had come to enter the underground palace.
Early in the morning, as soon as I had eaten a bowl of meat porridge and put down the bowl, Jin Jianwei came in and reported that the Great Elder Yang Ming had asked everyone to gather in front of the main tent and that they would officially enter the underground palace in the morning.
"I know, I'll be there right away."
After sorting out the clothes on his body and looking at the reserves in his storage bag, he saw a lot of things. Shen Hao boasted that he could deal with most emergencies.
When he was about to go out, he called the three special guards who had been following him to talk to him, and said: "Although we have a lot of support to go to the underground palace, it seems to be safe, but the fact is unpredictable. No one can tell whether there will be any accidents." . The three of you have been with me for a long time, and we have a fortune-telling relationship, so I can rest assured that I can leave some things to you and the other three."
"Sir, if you have anything to do, please feel free to ask me! The three subordinates will be willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Very good. If I don't come back this time, you should give these letters to the First Madam, Second Madam, and Lady Xia respectively. In addition, give these two letters to Wang Jian and Jiang Cheng. Remember, The letters cannot be mixed up, and if something happens to me, I cannot stay here. Don’t believe anyone else’s words. It is safe to go straight back to Sealing Sun City. Do you understand?”
The three of them should be serious. Even the letters were carried separately for safety, and each of the three of them carried a few.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with Shen Hao's actions, and it is not hypocritical. Especially after experiencing the battle with the barbarians, they will agree with Shen Hao's approach.
Knowing that the underground palace is extremely dangerous, no matter how thick the protection is, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen. Therefore, some precautionary measures should be left in place as a contingency. At worst, it's just a waste of time to collect the letter after everything is safe, so what does it mean?
After patting the shoulders of the three of them, Shen Hao walked enthusiastically to Yang Ming's tent. By then, dozens of people had gathered and stood there.
I spent most of my time in the tent before and didn't ask specifically. I thought there were about the same number of people as the people in Guishan Monastery. But now I found out that there were so many people going to the underground palace. Counting him, there were thirty-four people. Xuanhai alone There are six monks in the realm.
After that, Yang Ming came out to lecture in person, and then the fourth elder, Cheng Canghai, checked the Death City Orders in each hand according to the list one by one, and divided the personnel who entered the periphery of the underground palace from those in the core area.
The team going to the outskirts of the underground palace was led by a Xuanhai realm sword guard, and the other twenty-seven people were all disciples of the Yuan Dan realm. The remaining six people, namely Shen Hao, Great Elder Yang Ming, Fourth Elder Cheng Canghai, Fifth Elder Yue Chi, Sixth Elder Zhang Daosheng, and the last sword guard disciple of the Xuanhai Realm, will enter the core of the underground palace of the City of Vain. Area exploration.
"I don't need to say more about the dangers of the underground palace. You all know it in your heart. For the sake of your own life, remember not to leave the team at will, not to touch anything inside at will, not even a stone, and not to actively provoke people from other sects. Don’t be greedy, leave when you need to, and never drag your feet..."
Cheng Canghai's last stern warning also left an impression on Shen Hao's heart. He felt that he should also keep these rules in mind so as not to make any mistakes.
After saying that, even if the preparations were completed, the group of people walked out of the camp and headed towards the terrain surrounded by mountains not far ahead.
On the way, he saw the people of Guishan Monastery who were waiting early. Yang Ming smiled and greeted several elders of the other party, and then the two groups merged into one and continued to move forward together.
After about a stick of incense, we met more and more people on the road, and soon they gathered into a long queue, finally stopping in an open field in the middle of the mountainous terrain.
Looking around, I am afraid it is no less than five miles in radius. It is very flat, so flat that it is not commensurate with the surrounding hilly areas.
In the middle of this flat and open land, there is a strange-looking stone gate. It is probably more than five feet high and two feet wide when it stands.
The lonely stone door only has a door frame but no door panel. The middle is covered with a slightly orange shimmer, as if it is covered with a film.
The shape of the stone door is strange. It is not boxy, but has obvious amplitude, and the top is not flat. The rough surface undulations seem to have some regularity, giving people a sense of familiarity. Shen Hao reacted after a moment, The stone door looked like a huge spine, bent and inserted into the ground to form an arch.
Although it was the first time he saw it, Shen Hao understood that the door was the entrance to the underground palace, and as Yang Ming had told him before, there would be a teleportation when entering the underground palace, which should also be talking about this door.
Compared to Fenghong Villa, the first people to arrive were the people from Wanjuanshu Mountain and Mingshan Sect, as well as the people from the first-class sects attached to these two families. When Fenghong Villa and the following sects arrive, everyone from Jing Jiuchao will be here.
On the other side of the stone gate, there were more people standing than those from the Jingjiu Dynasty, and the robes they wore were not the mainstream style in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and they were even weird. These people are the people who wanted to go to the underground palace in vain. The first and largest group of three people were the famous three leaders of Fusi City.
The one in the middle is black with red stripes. The robe is similar to a warrior robe, with a blood-red belt around the waist, and a pattern that looks like flames and blood drops embroidered on the chest. This is someone from the Blood Clothes Sect.
On the left are a group of scribes dressed in snow-white robes with no obvious decorations, except for golden cloud patterns on the cuffs and collars. They also have various cloud-shaped jade pendants around their waists, holding long swords or folding fans, and some even hold scrolls. These people are from the Immortality Sect.
The person on the right is even more eye-catching. There were dozens of people carrying coffins of different sizes on their backs. Some of the coffins were tied with iron chains, some were attached with many unseen talismans, and some were even tied with bells and red threads. Without asking, these people knew that they were the most mysterious disciples of the Coffin Sect among the three chiefs of Fusi City.
Shen Hao paid attention to Yang Ming who was walking at the forefront on his side. He found that after approaching the stone gate, Yang Ming cupped his hands in the direction of the Coffin Sect on the opposite side. The leader of the other side was seven feet tall but as skinny as a stick. The old man also smiled and bowed his hands in return.
So Shen Hao thought to himself: It seems that the previous rumors that the old Jing Dynasty had the most cordial relationship with the Coffin Sect disciples were not groundless.
But Shen Hao has always been curious about what is in the coffin behind the coffin sect. It is said that the people of the Coffin Sect can refine corpses, control corpses, or even merge human corpses into one. Just hearing about it is mysterious enough. What will it be like when the real envoy comes out?
