Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 168 The Entrance to the Underground Palace
It turns out that these three inscriptions record the deeds of three people.
And these three people are the founding monarch of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, the Celestial Elephant King, and the Grand Master Ao Jian, plus a successor to the throne named King Chengda.
The inscription introducing the Celestial Elephant King does not clearly state whether the Celestial Elephant King is Han Chinese, but it indicates that he is the founding king of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, and indeed says that he ruled the Celestial Elephant Kingdom for more than 500 years.
For more than 500 years, the prosperity of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom has not been left behind, so the people of the whole country have revered and loved the Celestial Elephant King and regarded him as a monarch.
The inscription about Ao Jian does not clearly record how many years Ao Jian has lived, but it says that he has always been by the side of the Celestial Elephant King and has done many miraculous things.
For example, the stele records that he once slaughtered a desert wolf, and single-handedly exterminated the nomads who came to invade, and so on.
As for that Cheng King, he was the first Celestial King after the death of the Celestial King.
The stele records his main deed, which is to assist Ao Jian Grand Master to build the Immortal God Furnace.
Because Chu Changjiang himself could also understand Qin Li, Ding Lingling translated the "Immortal God Furnace" truthfully.
Poplar and Tie Niu looked at each other in shock, and Tie Niu blurted out: "Immortal God Furnace?
Ding Lingling glanced at him and nodded.
Chu Changjiang next to him immediately turned around and said, "Biyou Divine Maiden, what Biyou Divine Maiden, you have heard of the Immortal God Furnace in other places?"
Iron Bull opened his mouth, but he didn't know whether to answer or not.
Chu Changjiang glanced at a few of them, and said, "We have said that it is best not to hide anything from each other!"
Bai Yang pondered in his heart, and said: "The Biyou Goddess is the owner of a large tomb we found in Xiangxi, and there are some murals in that tomb, and one of them mentions the Immortal God Furnace!"
"Really?" Chu Changjiang smiled faintly and glanced back at Tie Niu, "But listening to Brother Tie, this Biyou Goddess should be alive, right?"
Poplar was speechless for a while, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
If you shake your head, it seems too hypocritical. If you nod your head, you will inevitably be involved in the elixir of immortality.
Chu Changjiang sighed softly, and said: "It seems that you are still guarding against me, so let's just open the window and say something bright! I said that my father was a very famous inverted person in the inverted fighting world, and he knew everything in the inverted fighting world! And the most famous and attractive legend in the inverted fighting world should be the five alchemists of Qin Shi Huang who escaped with immortal medicine, right? You are all descendants of the inverted fighting people, you should have all heard this story, right?"
Bai Yang and the others no longer thought that Chu Changjiang would pierce this layer of window paper by himself, but since he also knew the legend of the immortal elixir, several people could only nod, but no one would answer. just looked at Chu Changjiang, waiting to see if he was willing to tell him what he was hiding.
Chu Changjiang probably also understood everyone's thoughts, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at the stone tablet and said, "This so-called immortal god furnace is said to be the alchemy furnace where Qin Shi Huang refined the immortal medicine!"
"We've really heard of this legend!" Ding Lingling nodded, "Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang got an immortal medicine list from an immortal outside the sky, and then asked the most skillful craftsmen in the world to make an immortal god furnace with the Outer Heaven Divine Stone, which is estimated to be a meteorite. Later, he invited five of the most famous pharmacists at the time, alchemists, and asked them to prepare all the medicinal materials and use the Immortal God Furnace to refine the Immortal Divine Medicine. Later, the immortal elixir was indeed cultivated, but the five alchemists fled with the elixir. But this is just a legend after all, and it is difficult to determine whether the Immortal God Furnace and the Immortal God Elixir really exist!"
"The Immortal God Furnace definitely exists, at least the Celestial Elephant Kingdom has built one!" Chu Changjiang interfaced, looked at Ding Lingling with both eyes, and asked word by word, "So please tell the truth Miss Ding, what you met in Xiangxi...... What goddess, dead or alive?"
Ding Lingling was forced to be helpless, so she could only glance at Baiyang.
After a moment's thoughts, Bai Yang took over and said, "Yes, that woman...... It was indeed alive, and she did say that she had taken the elixir of immortality, but ......"
Bai Yang couldn't say anything about "but", because Chen Dalin suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed: "You guys...... Seeing a woman alive? In the tomb, did you see it?"
Bai Yang could think of why Chen Dalin suddenly interjected, and all Bai Yang nodded and said, "That can't be regarded as a big tomb in the traditional sense, but ...... It's like a big tomb!"
"Oh my God, oh my God!"
Chen Dalin was panting and weak, Chen Xiaopang hurriedly reached out to support him, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you, old man?"
Chen Xiaopang didn't know that Chen Dalin had seen a living person in the tomb below, so his question was very real.
Chen Dalin ignored Chen Xiaopang, only raised his face to look at Chu Changjiang, and gasped and said: "Boss Chu has asked me several times along the way, what I saw in the tomb, and I have always refused to say it, first of all, because I still feel afraid when I think about this matter;
"What do you mean, old man, have you seen a living person in the tomb?" Chu Changjiang immediately asked, his eyes flickering, but it was not like shock, but like excitement.
"Yes!" Chen Dalin nodded again and again, "You can not believe me, but these comrades of formal archaeology will not tell lies!"
"I believe it, how can I not believe it!" Chu Changjiang smiled, "To be honest, I didn't believe it before, but now, since several of you have seen it, I can't believe it if I don't want to!"
"You didn't believe it before, it seems that Boss Chu already knew...... There are living people in the tomb!" Ding Lingling immediately grasped the language disease in Chu Changjiang's words.
Chu Changjiang thought about it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Since I said that I want to open the window and say something bright, then I won't hide it from you! I told you before that my father once came to this desert to look for the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, but the result was ...... I told you he didn't find it, but in fact he did, and in the tomb, he saw a living man!"
Chen Dalin said "ah", and he who had fallen to the ground jumped up all of a sudden.
"You, you...... It turns out that your dad had this kind of thing happen to you, and what happened to your dad later?
He grabbed Chu Changjiang's arm and asked questions repeatedly.
Chu Changjiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My father said that there were nine of them in total, but before entering the Black Desert, five of them died because of encountering desert savages. The remaining four of them entered the Black Desert to find the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, and also saw the three stone tablets here. But at that time, my father and the others didn't realize that the immortal god furnace meant the immortal elixir, so after digging an entrance into the tomb, they saw a living man walking towards them, and all four of them were stupid, and followed ......"
Chu Changjiang took a breath to calm down, Chen Dalin grabbed his hand, and asked repeatedly, "How about following......?" Isn't it suddenly foggy, and then ...... And then a lot of demons and monsters appeared, and your dad had to fight these demons and monsters?"
"Yes!" Chu Changjiang nodded, "Among their group, my dad has the highest martial arts, and there were only four people left at that time, and the other three together were not my dad's opponents! When he woke up, he found that the demons and monsters he killed were only his three companions!"
A wry smile appeared on Chu Changjiang's face again, and he said: "When my father told me about this, to be honest, I didn't believe it at all! How can there be immortal medicine and immortal people in the world? If there are immortal medicine and immortal people, then isn't modern medicine much more backward than ancient medicine? But ...... My dad had nightmares almost every night, and every time he dreamed of either a desert savage or a few companions that he had killed with his own hands! So after he died, I thought to myself, no matter what, I would personally come to the Black Desert to see if there was really anyone in this world who could not die in the ancient tomb!"
His words were finished. And a result like this, Poplar had discussed it with Tie Niu before, so Tie Niu turned around and smiled at Poplar.
Hongxing immediately asked him what he was laughing at, and Tie Niu smiled silently.
Bai Yang said: "When I was in Yunlang City before, Tie Niu told me that Boss Chu would chase us to the Black Desert because his father had also entered the tomb of the Celestial Elephant Kingdom and seen the living people in the tomb, but he didn't expect him to be right!"
Hongxing said "ah", looked at Tie Niu, and said, "You stupid Tie Niu, will you have such a smart time?"
"I'm stupid, I'm ...... Wise as foolish!"
Iron Bull came up with a sour word, which made everyone laugh.
Even Chen Dalin couldn't help but smile, but soon, he shouted again.
"That's not right! The time we entered this tomb was ten years ago, Boss Chu's father, he should have entered the tomb long before us, right? But when we came, why did we go around the entire tomb several times, but we never saw any robbery holes or anything like that?"
"I don't know about this!" Chu Changjiang shook his head, "But...... Didn't Brother Gao just say that there must be a large-scale underground palace down here? Could it be ...... There is another exit from this dungeon, and after my dad and the others left, the living person in the dungeon came out of the exit far from here and completely blocked the thief hole that my dad and the others dug?"
His idea is almost incredible.
But if there is really a living person below, then his idea is not completely impossible.
"Then let's hurry up and find the entrance to the dungeon that the old man dug ten years ago, and see if that entrance still exists!" Bai Yang said.
"Have you forgotten that a group of people have already come here first? Maybe that group of people has already entered along the entrance dug by the old men back then!" Chen Xiaopang replied.
