Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 499 Go deep into the underground palace
Zheng Xiangtai and the others discussed for a long time, and finally Zheng Xiangtai walked towards Baiyang and the others.
"What's the matter? Still think it was my brother who killed the old woman?" Iron Bull stood up and spoke very politely.
However, Lao Zhufeng didn't come with him, so naturally no one would jump up because of Tie Niu's unpleasant words.
"What's that...... We don't think that Mrs. Lao was killed by Little Brother Bai, there is no reason at all! It's just that the head of Lao was suddenly robbed by this, and he couldn't turn around in his heart for a while, so please bear with me!"
Zheng Xiangtai said as he bowed his hand again and again. Tie Niu was smooth and turned his face to look at Poplar.
Bai Yang raised his face and asked Zheng Xiangtai, "Then what do you mean ......?"
"Actually, we also think that Mrs. Law must have been suddenly dragged down by something under the cracks in the ground, this thing...... I'm afraid that it's really like what Bai Xiaoge'er said before, it's a terrifying horror that our people have never encountered! Even Gongsun Xia has been scared by this thing for decades incognito and dare not come out! My senior brothers are probably also dying in the underground palace below because of this thing!"
Zheng Xiangtai said this, with a sad look on his face.
However, Bai Yang and the others were silent, waiting for him to finish speaking.
"Now I know that the reason why Little Brother Bai was entrusted with an important task by Master Ding at such a young age is not only because Little Brother Bai is strong in martial arts, but this insight is not comparable to ordinary people!"
He didn't get down to business for a long time, but instead slapped Topol's ass.
Baiyang really didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he immediately said: "Come on, there is no need to talk about this kind of cliché, you just say what you are going to do, right?"
"Yes, Little Brother Bai speaks happily, and I won't turn around!" Zheng Xiangtai replied, "We just discussed it and decided to follow the advice of the Red Gate Lord, and tonight the two of us will be on shift duty together......! Something strange will appear again, let's fight it in this open place, so that we won't wait in the dungeon, and be controlled by that strange thing everywhere!"
Bai Yang thought about it and didn't answer, Tie Niu couldn't help but speak: "What about the old woman who fell into the crack in the ground?
"It's not that we don't want to hurry up to save Mrs. Lao, but we unanimously believe that the reason why Mrs. Lao fell into the crack of the ground and there is no sound, we are afraid that she has already died, and we will go down to save her now, and we are afraid that the black light will lose a few lives! Besides, the crack in the ground is narrow, and we don't dare to go in and inspect it immediately! Therefore, ...... Including the head of Lao, they have already agreed, wait for tomorrow dawn, everyone will prepare well, dig out the crack of the ground a little bigger, and then go down to the underground palace to find Mrs. Lao. ”
Poplar secretly thought in his heart, if they were allowed to leave now, the black light was blind in the deep mountains, and they would not be able to leave even if they were willing to leave.
It's better to spend the night first, with seven people on their side, and five people on their side, you can better monitor the surrounding environment.
However, he didn't express his position immediately, but asked the Red Door Master: "What do you think of the Red Door Master?"
"You're the leader of the group, and it's better for you to make up your mind about things like this!" said the Red Door Master.
Poplar nodded, and then carefully discussed with Zheng Xiangtai how to arrange the vigil.
In the end, it was decided to divide into four groups, each with three people on duty for two hours, and from now until eight hours later, it will be almost dawn.
Bai Yang considered that Tie Niu was sleepy a lot, so he asked him to be on duty in the first shift, and Zheng Xiangtai was on duty with Wang Wu in the same shift as Tie Niu.
Bai Yang and the Red Gate are on the second and third shifts, and Hongxing Ding Lingling is on the last shift with Sun Hao.
In this way, the assignment stopped, and those who were not on duty immediately lay down and rested.
Naturally, one by one, his heart fluctuated and he couldn't sleep for a long time, and Bai Yang had to lie down and run Qigong, and then he gradually fell asleep.
I didn't want to be safe all night, and when I waited until the next morning, the two groups of people got up and sorted it out, and Bai Yang said to Zheng Xiangtai: "Master Zheng and the others are still preparing to go down to the underground palace?"
Zheng Xiangtai was stunned, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that Little Brother Bai saw that Mrs. Lao had a tragic accident last night, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go down?"
"We're going to go down!" replied Poplar solemnly, "but I want to...... Yesterday there was a tragic incident like Mrs. Lao, for the sake of the safety of several people, I don't think it is better to follow us down!"
Zheng Xiangtai glanced at the few people behind him, with a funny look on his face, and said: "Little Brother Bai really underestimates us when he says this! Not to mention that the courage of our old guys may not be as good as Bai Xiaoge and others, the most important Mrs. Lao is down now, do you think Mr. Lao can bear to leave his wife behind?" Besides, I have repeatedly stated that the most important purpose of my trip is to recover the bones of my brothers, and now that I am about to achieve my goal, Little Brother Bai wants me to go back to my house and not go down?"
Bai Yang frowned, and was thinking about how to convince them, when Lao Zhufeng jumped up again and shouted: "The surname is Bai, my wife suddenly fell down last night, whether it has something to do with you is not sure, you want us to leave my wife and turn around now? What are you thinking, I now suspect that my wife was deliberately pushed down by you!"
Poplar had nothing to say but shook his head.
Ding Lingling sneered and said: "Poplar let you leave, but he knows that there is an unpredictable danger here, so he just wants to save your lives! Since you don't know what to do, then go down! Poplar, don't persuade them, lest you be kind to donkey's liver and lungs!"
Her words sounded a little harsh, Zheng Xiangtai didn't argue with her little girl, but Xu Xiang jumped out and said: "What a strange thing, you stinky little hairy children, you are not afraid of any danger down here, why are we old guys afraid?
Ding Lingling's face flushed with anger, and Bai Yang hurriedly pulled her aside, not continuing to argue with this guy.
Since these people don't know what to do, let's wait until they go to the underground palace, and let them live or die!
The two groups split into two sides, and each went smoothly, and reluctantly came together to reconnoiter the crack in the ground.
It was bright at this time, but the cracks in the ground were too narrow for a clear view of what was going on.
Several people tied the flashlight to the rope and hung down, only to see a little light point getting lower and lower, until nearly thirty meters, this probed to the bottom.
Poplar gently shook the rope and felt that the bottom was very empty, which proved that under this crack in the ground, it was indeed where the underground palace was located.
So after retracting the rope, several people began to dig down the cracks in the ground.
The width of the crack in the ground was close to thirty centimeters, and Zheng Xiangtai and others were masters of the opening of the tomb, so it didn't take long to dig the middle part of the crack into a round hole of fifty centimeters.
And in the process of digging, nothing strange happened, and there was no terrible strange thing, which suddenly jumped out from below and attacked a group of people.
That made everyone secretly wonder, but they gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Bai Yang's heart became heavier and heavier, because he sensitively expected that the calmer he was at the moment, the more dangerous it would be to go down to the underground palace.
After the hole was dug successfully, Bai Yang thought that since there were so many people going to the tomb together, it was better to let Ding Lingling and Hongxing stay on it.
was thinking about how to discuss with the two girls, Zheng Xiangtai said: "Wang Wu, you stay on top, so as not to have someone to answer if something urgent happens!"
When he said this, he turned his face to Bai Yang and said, "Little Brother Bai, if it is according to my wishes, it is better to let these two girls stay on top, anyway, we have gone down with so many people, there is no need to let the two girls go down to take risks!"
As soon as Bai Yang's mind turned, he already understood what Zheng Xiangtai meant.
Zheng Xiangtai wants to keep Wang Wu on the top, which is not surprising, after all, when there are enough manpower, leaving one or two people on the top to do the answer, that is what all the inverted people will do.
But now that Yu Qinqin is dead, if Wang Wu is left on the top, but let Hongxing and Ding Lingling go to the tomb together, even if Hongxing and Ding Lingling's martial arts are not high, the two of them are afraid that they can contain one of them when they join forces.
The remaining five people dealt with the three people on Baiyang's side, and according to the calculations of Zheng Xiangtai and others, it was not enough to win the game.
Therefore, Zheng Xiangtai pretended to be kind and left Ding Lingling and Hong Xing at the entrance of the tomb together, so that after they went down, Wang Wu only had to kill one of them first, and the remaining one could not be Wang Wu's opponent - at least they thought it was so.
In this way, there are six people on Zheng Xiangtai's side who have gone down to the underground palace, and there are only three people on Baiyang's side, once the two sides fight, Zheng Xiangtai's side will be victorious and undefeated - at least they think they are victorious and undefeated.
However, the wishful thinking of this group of people happened to coincide with Bai Yang's intentions, so Bai Yang immediately called Hongxing Ding Lingling aside and asked them to stay on top.
"These guys have ghosts in their hearts, since they left Wang Wu on the top, if we don't keep people, when Wang Wu makes ghosts, we will be in danger down there!" Bai Yang said to the two girls.
Ding Lingling raised her eyebrows and said, "You didn't want us to go down, right, are you afraid that we will drag you back after we go down?"
"I didn't mean that!" Poplar hurriedly explained, "There is indeed an unknowable danger down there, and it's true that I don't want you to go down!" But think about it, since Wang Wu is left on the top, can we rest assured if we don't leave anyone on the top?
Ding Lingling was right when she heard it, so she could only turn her head and look at Hongxing.
Hongxing said: "I'm a little worried about my mother, so ...... Can't we leave Sister Lingling alone on top? With Sister Lingling's martial arts and cleverness, it is more than enough to deal with this Wang Wu!"
"It's more than enough to deal with it clearly, but I'm afraid of the secret poisoner surnamed Wang! The two of you take care of each other, which can also make us feel more at ease! Besides, Hongxing, you are worried about the Red Gate Master, so you shouldn't go down with us! You know the Red Gate Master's light body kung fu best, no matter how dangerous things you encounter, it is not difficult for the Red Gate Lord to get out! But if the Red Gate Master remembers you and refuses to escape alone, think about what the result will be!"
When Hongxing heard him say this, she looked back and glanced at her mother again, and finally sighed and said no more.
Bai Yang reminded the two girls again that they must be careful to beware of Wang Wu's bad intentions, so he walked over and said to Zheng Xiangtai: "According to Master Zheng's wishes, leave Master Wang and the two girls on our side to answer above!"
Zheng Xiangtai was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent, just beckoned everyone to carefully check their outfits, and hung a thick rope down the round hole that had just been dug in the middle of the crack.
After that, the poplar was the head, and the iron bull followed, climbing the rope and slowly sliding downward.
