Chapter 871: The Underground Palace Hides Everything

What did the crowd see?

A huge hall!

The hall was as large as a vast wilderness, with no edge in sight in the distance until the horizon, and no ceiling in the heights, reaching to the sky.

It gives the impression that no one can see how far and high it is in reality.

At the highest point in the middle of the hall, a special artificial sun hangs.

Its peculiarity lies in the continuous emission of black-red light.

This black-red, originally black, and because of its deep red color, it brought some light to this dark hall.

It was originally light, but it was wrapped in layers of pure darkness, and it dyed the intense red into black!

It was this mixture of conflicting colors that enveloped the whole hall in a strange hue of color.

This strange black and red color has brought heavy pressure to Mai Ke and others, is Shengmen so uncomfortable?

If the door of life is still like this, what should be done about the door of injury, shock, death, etc.?

Mai Ke forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, turned on the night vision device, and tried to figure out the environment here first.

To his great surprise, this very cutting-edge instrument was difficult to function normally!

This is too evil!

Mai Ke felt this way, and the discomfort of the others was even worse, and they couldn't help but get close to Mai Ke.

Despite the impact, the night vision device can still help Mai Ke see many things clearly.

The first is the center of the hall, where many people stand in line!

The largest one in the center. There is almost a radius of 300 meters, and there are at least 100,000 people in one square team alone!

And that's not even counting the four sides of the central team, with two small teams on each side, for a total of eight.

The Maike family counted the nearest team, no more, no less, a full 10,000 people!

Eight squares, 10,000 each, and 80,000 people.

Even if there is no one else. There are 180,000 people in just one hall!

What did Mai Ke and the others think. I would not have thought that such an underground hall would gather almost 200,000 troops!

Mai Ke originally held this to the limit, who knew that a slight fishy smell came. Mai Kezai asked. There's a sense of déjà vu.

In order to find the source of the smell, he looked to the nearby southeast corner, where there was still something!

What is that? It's a patch of aquatic weeds. It's still floating with the rippling water, and it seems to be quite rhythmic!

Suddenly, an even stronger fishy smell wafted in, and Mai Ke's attention was attracted, and he quickly turned around to find the source of the fishy smell.

I saw that the aquatic weeds became bigger, and it seemed to jump into the air!

They are alive!

Living and smelling fishy, Mai Ke immediately came into contact with a creature - a poisonous snake!

With a number in his heart, Mai Ke continued to look over, that's right, it's a poisonous snake!

I saw that they were all blue, raised high above the neck, and constantly swinging their heads, as if they were dancing to the sound of the flute of a snake charmer.

Mai Ke roughly calculated, this piece of bamboo leaves is green, at least 20,000.

I've seen those small phalanxes, all of which are symmetrically placed in the four directions of the large array, and presumably this viper array will not only appear in one horn.

Mai Ke immediately looked to the northeast, northwest, and southwest, and sure enough, there was a poisonous snake array in each of the three directions, which were black, red, and white.

Mai Ke identified them one by one and determined that they were pit vipers, king cobras, and silver kraits.

The number of poisonous snakes in these three poisonous snake formations is only much more than that of Zhuyeqing in the southeast corner, and there are at least 20,000 poisonous snakes in each.

The poisonous snakes of the four poisonous snake formations combined, there are a total of 80,000, and even 100,000 can't be stopped.

Even the bold Mai Ke saw a burst of numbness in his scalp.

Xie Qian is even more miserable, he is naturally afraid of snakes!

In his opinion, 100,000 poisonous snakes are much more terrible than 180,000 troops!

Only Yue Jian and his thousand monks and soldiers were indifferent to these poisonous snakes.

Because the stick method they mastered, just like the dog beating stick method of the beggar gang, there is a special routine for beating snakes.

Through these two large formations, Mai Ke saw that behind the formation, there was a high platform, on which stood two people, one with a fat head and big ears, and the other was skinny.

Xie Qian pointed to the fat head and big ears and said, that guy is Yan Wangduo who has swallowed a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, and the one next to him...... I don't know!

Although Xie Qian didn't know him, Mai Ke confirmed that it was!

Isn't that the size of a snake?

Mai Ke met him at Chogori Peak.

It turned out that the spirit came to Xianfeng's side and was particularly used, and his disciples also came, and then they were sent to various places to help the local forces there and resist the heavenly army.

This snake is very proficient in organ news and traditional battle formations, and he is also outstanding in a certain aspect of his job, so he was sent to this central city, and in terms of urban population, Yingzhou can be called one of the best.

As long as there are many people, it is a place of contention in the hearts of the spirits.

Also, as early as the time of Chogori Peak, he expressed his heart by establishing an international column through guò - the more people who died, the happier he became, whether it was the present physical death or the future spiritual death.

He made it very clear that the day these people died sooner, they had less chance of hearing the gospel and receiving it, and thus losing the opportunity to confess the Lord Jesus as their Savior.

The most spiritual disciple, the snake master understands this spirit and implements it very well.

Soon after he arrived in Yingzhou, he got along with Yan Wangduo, because he gave Yan Wangduo several ideas, all of which he particularly appreciated and adopted.

The first is that all people are soldiers.

Since Sheda received the spirit card, he naturally had a sword from the emperor, and he also brought an edict from the emperor, asking all the men in the season to gather and go to the front line of the battle against the heavenly army.

Originally, Yan Wangduo used a lot of troops by himself, so he planned to use the procrastination trick for this holy decree, ignoring it, what should he do.

But. The serpent whispered to him, and he made a 180-degree turn—fully supporting the conscription and using his own strategic reserves.

Later, he wrote to the emperor, saying that they were the closest to the Heavenly Army here, and they were already at the forefront of the fight against the Heavenly Army!

Therefore, he asked the emperor to allow him to leave all the tens of thousands of soldiers and 100,000 stone of military rations collected this time, and he defended Yingzhou, the most populous state, for the emperor.

Not only did he detain the recruits, but he also left behind all the food and grass. also shamelessly stretched out his hand to ask the court for soldiers and money.

At last. The emperor considered that they were looking for someone to collect the grain from the General Administration as cash, and really took out 10,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stone of grain from the treasury to reward them.

Of course, so these. It's all inseparable from the help of the Regents inside.

A successful plan. The snake was a great success. It has established a very high prestige in Yingzhou.

The second idea is to build this dungeon.

As a conspiracy expert, his favorite thing is underground space. There was no sign of his enemies, no sunlight, no light, but darkness, and whatever he did was covered up, and no one knew it.

Therefore, wherever he went, he had to find the dark place and station in it.

There was no ready-made one, so he made one himself.

This underground palace hidden behind the Bagua Array was built by him.

However, in this underworld, he is not the only master.

Not only is he not the only master, but nominally, he has to serve another person as the master.

That person was Yan Wangduo.

Before the snake came, Yan Wangduo was the only owner of this underground palace.

However, at that time, this underground palace was much shabby in terms of scale.

Neither of them is now a tenth of it.

The defensive measures are also compared with the current ones, which are nothing less than the abyss.

At that time, there was no guard of the Bagua Array, only a secret passage, which was lowered from the ground passage, and there were several posts in the middle, and no one could enter lightly.

Although it is small, it is luxurious and extravagant, much higher than it is now.

The part that now belongs to Yan Wangduo is still as luxurious as ever.

Even the first time she saw it, she was shocked.

It turned out that this Yan Wangduo was extremely ambitious, and seeing that he was nearly fifty years old, he was still far away from his life goal, so he came to a copycat version.

It turned out that the goal he set for himself was that even if he couldn't be the emperor, at least he would have to be in the prime minister!

Since Yan Wangduo was determined to copy, he wanted a big copycat, so he imitated the emperor.

This kind of thing should be done in broad daylight and blatantly, but it must not be too high, so it is moved to the ground.

In this way, the underground palace came into being.

In the beginning, there were only nine houses, which were specially prepared for his concubine.

The configuration of the concubine is three palaces and six courtyards.

With these three palaces and six courtyards, his office time was set up to take three and two to make a fuss, and going to the three palaces and six courtyards became his main task.

The construction of this underground palace, the usual supply and maintenance, cost a lot of silver, but he, the prefect, had to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and drink water.

So he used the power of his prefect as a tool to collect money.

In addition to intercepting the money handed over to the central treasury, he also took bribes on a large scale.

He even openly solicited bribes, clearly marked the prices of all the official positions under his jurisdiction, collected money with one hand, and went through the formalities of sealing officials with the other.

The price at which he sells his official beard is calculated uniformly, and he really does not deceive Tong Suo and treats everyone equally.

The bottom line of this plan is how much each official position receives a formal salary or salary in a year.

After finding this base, multiply it by two times, which is the price of buying an official.

He has not changed this price, and he said that he should keep prices stable, so that those who have the heart, the ability, and especially the money can fight for it.

However, as his expenses became larger and larger, especially the three palaces and six courtyards, he was a little unable to make ends meet.

So he found a way to open source.

He set his sights on the income from selling official beards.

On the premise that the calculation formula and pricing remain the same, the length of rotation is changed to once every six months!

In this way, Yan Wangduo's income doubled.

As for the rest, Yan Wangduo doesn't care, even if the flood is monstrous after I die.

Before he died, he naturally came first in pleasure.

In addition, he is too busy to take care of anything else.

The three palaces and six courtyards have basically used up his time, even if he has a little more energy. You still have to have Long Wangshu, right?

Also, the income has doubled, which has caused him some trouble.

The accumulation of hatred value on him is already very high, and the fresh hatred value brought by doubling his income is far more than doubled.

The threshold that many can tolerate has been exceeded.

In this way, contradictions will erupt and conflicts will intensify, which is inevitable.

Didn't find him on the head, he can leave it alone. Take refuge in an underground palace. Cold and heat do not invade, care about him in winter, summer and spring and autumn.

If it is directly aimed at him, he will not be able to hide, and he must deal with and deal with it.

Therefore. The snake is coming. With the command of the Divine Decree of the National Mobilization. It quelled everyone's resistance, and expanded the original scale of the underground palace by a hundredfold!

Of course, these new spaces. It wasn't added to the three palaces and six courtyards for him.

His three palaces and six courtyards are still the same, but he no longer has to worry about security.

The new additions are all to defend against the enemy and ensure the safety of the entire underground palace.

And in terms of the actual level of defense, in terms of the current general offensive and defensive capabilities, it can indeed be said that it is impregnable.

Being able to let him use his three palaces and six courtyards with peace of mind, Yan Wangduo was most grateful to the snake.

In a short period of time, without using his financial support, the underground palace was built like this, and Yan Wangduo also admired the snake so much.

The cooperation between the two complements each other.

The relationship between the two is extremely intimate.

At this time, a person appeared in front of the two, it was Yan Wangzhen, who had just fled from the West Gate.

Hearing that one of the city gates with the largest number of troops had also been lost in the end, Yan Wangduo and the snake were indifferent, because they had long expected this outcome.

The place where they really fought their decisive battles was not on the ground from time to time, but in this underground palace.

They all saw Mai Ke and the others who came in from Shengmen, and their eyes flashed with a deep hatred.

For Mai Ke, these three people can be said to be new hatred and old hatred higher than a mountain.

"Is that all?" said the snake grimly.

Although he tried to be calm, he couldn't calm down, and there was a monstrous hatred and anger in his steady tone.

He had already made a wishful calculation, Mai Ke and the others would not come, if they came, don't leave, this is your burial place.

The eight gates of the gossip array, no matter which one you enter, it's a dead end!

Entering the door of death, the formation is set up enough to strangle everyone who is trapped in the formation.

Entering the statement, he prepared the most powerful battle formation, and used manpower to strangle everyone who fell into the formation.

Entering other doors that cannot cause death, but are constantly troublesome, where there are sometimes terminals, just a transition, and finally you have to go to the door of death, or enter the game of artificial strangulation.

It was the big array in front of him, he concentrated 150,000 people and 100,000 poisonous snakes, all of whom were strong in combat, and the snakes were extremely poisonous.

The basic strangulation capacity of this battle array is 100,000 people!

In other words, if a legion of 100,000 people comes in, this large array will be able to eat it all steadily if it is played at a normal level!

It is absolutely possible to achieve this goal.

Because the soldiers in these formations, although they can be one-on-one, those poisonous snakes can poison three or five people in the blink of an eye!

These xenomorphic poisonous snakes are violent, and poisoning will kill you!

He didn't start the big array right away because there were too few people coming in, and it wasn't easy for the big array to start, and he wanted to kill more people.

However, this wait didn't last long, his hatred for Mai Ke was too strong, even if he only killed him, it was worth it!

Dry!

The huge killing array is activated in an instant!

I only heard the sound of zazaza in all directions, and it seemed that the stone walls around them were piling up in the middle, and Mai Ke and the others saw that the stone gate they had just entered moved quickly from behind them!

The black and red spheres hanging in the air instantly burst out with dazzling beams of light, making people lose the ability to see, and when they opened their eyes again, the scenery they saw was beyond recognition.

The tall platform in the distance was gone, and the three men did not know where they had gone.

Mai Ke and the others were no longer separated from those people and snakes, but were surrounded by them.

However, there is no melee yet, and in both directions, there are soldiers, and in both directions, east and south, there are poisonous snakes!

Mai Ke shouted: "Yue Blade, you lead the monks and soldiers to catch snakes! The rest of the people will join me to kill the enemy!"

Everyone immediately formed a back-to-back formation, north and west. Mai Ke and his guards were in charge.

Don't look at the fact that there are only more than a hundred of them, but there are thousands of enemies on the opposite side, but the members of the guards who are the main body of the original beggars are all one hundred!

They were in charge of a one-foot-wide battle line alone, let go of their fists and feet, and blocked all the enemies outside!

There are a few opponents who believe that they are strong in martial arts, trying to get ahead and breaking into the inner circle toughly, but they have suffered an even more tragic fate!

They were all killed by these guards with a single move. And then the body was returned to the crowd outside!

It turned out that these guards generally used two hands against these enemies.

If you only wave the flag on the periphery and shout with the crowd. The guards will have to stop them, and those who dare to cross the line will be killed, killed, and killed by the monkeys!

This one is soft and the other is hard. It's very effective.

Those soldiers who were surrounded. Although some delirium. It is still possible to discern and choose the major matters of life and death.

The violent methods of the guards to kill people shocked them all!

So, the following attack. It is swayed by the love of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Mai Ke saw that the situation was stable here, so he turned around and watched the monks catch snakes.

The battle here is much fiercer, and I saw that those poisonous snakes were already covered in corpses!

Xie Qian was also watching, his face was a little pale.

Mai Ke let him be in the middle, under everyone's protection, and with her, there was a mixed special team, a total of four, this is Mai Ke's backhand, but also everyone's assistance, once they found out that there was a crisis somewhere, they would come to the rescue.

Xie Qian is responsible for directing and coordinating this function.

Of course, he also knew that this was Mai Ke's protection and care measures, and the biggest task of these special mixed teams was to ensure Xie Qian's safety first.

Mai Ke didn't want this military division-level talent to be lost.

Let's look at Yue Ren's snake killing team.

Mai Ke took a closer look and couldn't help but be amazed!

I was also impressed by the skill of these monks!

Where is this bloody battlefield in the sand, this is purely an artistic performance!

I saw that those poisonous snakes rushed forward in groups and pounced on the monks!

These monks lined up, wielding a fully open two-zhang long stick in their hands, and at the moment when the poisonous snake provoked it, they picked it up in the air, blocking the leaping process of the poisonous snake, and the body of the poisonous snake immediately changed from a vertical leap to moving up and down!

The long stick in the monk's hand pulled out a small stick, and with a "snap" sound, it hit the head of the poisonous snake!

With just one moment, the hard snake's head immediately split apart, like a broken egg, the snake's blood splattered, the snake's body was paralyzed, rolled to the ground, and died completely!

Mai Ke still had the leisure to sigh, cough! What do you say about the snake hitting seven inches, where is there a broken head!

He didn't think about it, where do ordinary people have the power to break the snake's head?

A thousand monks and soldiers are like this, standing there calmly, waiting for the poisonous snake to pounce up, that is, a pick, and then a beat, and the result is that the snake's head is broken, and the poisonous snake is reimbursed.

By now, every monk had made this repetition a full ten times!

Without exception, there were also ten dead viper corpses lying in front of them!

The first one to come up is the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake Formation, a total of 20,000 Bamboo Leaf Greens, and a full half of them have been reimbursed, as long as the monks and soldiers come and dance the long stick ten times, they will destroy these Bamboo Leaf Greens!

Mai Ke felt that there were monks and soldiers on this side, and he could have no worries, so he turned his attention to the battlefield on the other side.

At first glance, he couldn't help but be taken aback, it turned out that the guards had already encountered a fierce enemy!

I don't know where it came from, but in front of each guard, there is a big man with a particularly burly figure and a round waist, look at these guards.

Seeing that their martial arts are not as good as these guards, but their advantage is that they are big, powerful, and particularly strong in their ability to resist blows.

These people reminded Mai Ke of the Siberian-trained killers he had encountered at Qiaogori Peak!

I guess it's the fresh power that those guys have re-recruited.

Since the guards were entangled, those ordinary soldiers did not stop them, so they wanted to take the opportunity to rush over!

Unfortunately, the aftermath of the battle between the guards and the Han was not something they could resist, and as a result, people did not come, and their lives were lost.

When you see the corpses, you know that it is impossible for them to cross the area where the fight is taking place.

Those particularly clever local soldiers tried to come from both ends of the fight scene.

However, these attempts were noticed by Xie Qian, who was gradually adapting, and he commanded the mixed special exhibition team to launch an earth element, and an earth wall rose from the ground, blocking their way.

This is the southern end of the battlefield.

At the northern end of the battlefield, a forest appeared out of thin air, and those enemy soldiers who tried to cross the border not only did not succeed, but lost themselves in the forest.

The trees suddenly appeared around them, and although there were no casualties, they were caught in the middle of the trees, losing the ability to move.

From then on, until the forest was reclaimed, they were fixed there, appearing to tell the people that "this road is not going to work".

Just when Mai Ke was struggling with how to solve these Siberian bigwigs, the big snake's monk disease was also in trouble!

It turned out that just when there were still the last 5,000 Zhu Yeqing left, their reinforcements arrived!

This time it's a pit viper!

Pit vipers have two characteristics.

One is that their way of attacking is that they only crawl and don't jump!

The other is that their skin tone is dark!

There is nothing black in the first place, the problem is that the tone of this underground palace is darkness!

Thus, for the first time, there were casualties among the monks!.

(To be continued......)
