Chapter 186: Enter the Buried Underground Palace
As for why he chose Deng Sanniang to accompany him to explore the secret, in fact, Zheng Xin is selfish.
First of all, since Deng Sanniang returned from recuperation, she has always refused Zheng to arrange a position for her, saying that it is a rare time to relax, and she wants to recuperate.
Therefore, at present, in the entire Qunying Village, only Deng Sanniang, a master idler, has time to accompany him to explore, and Deng Sanniang's identity as a martial artist at her level is there, and if she is by her side, then you don't have to worry about safety when you go to the underground palace to explore.
When the time comes, after taking her down with you, taking advantage of the darkness below, you can take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her, and it's not bad, besides, for this kind of thing, women should be more curious than men, as long as she goes to her, she has no reason to refuse, because she is also idle all day long,
After figuring this out, Zheng immediately went to Deng Sanniang's place, and after seeing her, he told her his intentions.
I thought that after Deng Sanniang heard the news, she would definitely be full of curiosity and interest, but he was disappointed, Deng Sanniang just hummed lightly, although he agreed to Zheng's request, but he didn't seem to be interested in going to the underground palace to explore the secrets.
In the face of her performance, Zheng was very surprised, it is obvious that not all women have a lot of curiosity, and Deng Sanniang is one of them.
After Deng Sanniang changed into a black night clothes, she followed Zheng and them towards the ruins behind the cottage.
When the three of them came to the pile of ruins, it was already completely dark, and at this time, the more than 100 mountain bandits who were in charge of digging during the day, they were still in place, and they did not leave, presumably they were all ordered by Zhang Sihai.
Under the leadership of Zhang Sihai, Zheng and Deng Sanniang came to the entrance that had been dug up, and stood outside to take a look, only to see a tunnel more than one person high, which had been completely excavated and cleaned out.
Standing at the door of the tunnel, with the help of the light of the torch, he could see in a daze that this tunnel was extending obliquely towards the ground, and in the tunnel, every other distance, there was a torch inserted into it, and between the flickering firelight, it was difficult to see the end of the tunnel.
At this time, Zhang Sihai stood behind Zheng and said respectfully: "Alliance leader, this tunnel leading to the underground palace has been dug up and cleaned up, and I also ordered someone to fill it with torches, so the alliance leader does not have to worry about the problem of light, and there is that the little one just ordered someone to put a few geese in, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, we will bring those geese out, if they are all fine, it proves that there is no problem with the air in this underground palace, so if the alliance leader goes down in person, it will be much safer." ”
"Zhang Sihai, you have done a good job in this matter. ”
Zheng didn't expect this Zhang Sihai, in addition to being able to pat himself on the back, he was so thoughtful and thoughtful, and many details that he didn't even think of were handled properly, thinking of this, Zheng was quite satisfied, and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation, and said with a smile: "Manager Zhang, this time you really bothered, you did a very beautiful job, okay, it's not early, and you have also worked hard all day, so let's go back and rest well." ”
Zhang Sihai saw that the alliance leader cared about himself so much, and suddenly felt that everything he did today was worth it, and he was moved inexplicably and modestly said: "The alliance leader has won the award, and it is a matter for the small ones to solve problems for the alliance leader. ”
Zheng saw that he insisted on refusing to go back to rest, and he was not reluctant at the moment, so he had to nod and agree, anyway, it is better to enter this ancient underground palace to explore the secrets, it is better to be accompanied by more people,
After waiting for a while, there were a few mountain bandits who had practiced Gangqi, held their breath, entered the tunnel, and led out a few big geese that had been put in.
Led the geese to Zheng, Zheng bent down and looked carefully, and found that they were all in good spirits, and there were no problems at all, so that the air in this underground palace should not have any major problems.
After learning this result, Zheng couldn't hold back his curiosity at the moment, and at that moment, with a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Go, which brothers are willing to go down with me to explore it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the mountain bandits who were waiting outside were in high spirits, and they all rushed to follow the alliance leader to go down to explore, obviously, they all knew that the opportunity to slap the alliance leader's ass like this is really rare.
In the end, after Zhang Sihai's reprimand, ten mountain bandits who had practiced Gang Qi and were proficient in martial arts were specially selected from among the more than 100 mountain bandits to follow Zheng down to the underground palace.
After preparing to stop, Zhang Sihai led five mountain bandits to take the lead in the tunnel to explore the way, while Zheng walked with Deng Sanniang, and finally, there were the remaining five mountain bandits, who were responsible for breaking off.
At this time, Zheng accompanied by Deng Sanniang, slowly walked towards the muddy tunnel, standing at the entrance of the tunnel, Zheng's mood couldn't help but feel nervous and excited, and after he took a few deep breaths, he stepped into the tunnel with anticipation,
After entering the tunnel, Deng Sanniang walked in front of him, and followed behind Deng Sanniang.
As they gradually went deeper into the tunnel, the tunnel became more and more damp, and at the end of the tunnel, on the cave walls on both sides of the tunnel, there was actually a dripping sound coming, at this time, a damp musty smell filled Zheng's nose, and it smelled very uncomfortable, but fortunately, Deng Sanniang walked in front, and the faint fragrance on her body also diluted the unpleasant musty smell.
At this time, Deng Sanniang, who was walking in front of Zheng, frowned at the unpleasant smell of wet mildew in the tunnel.
After walking about thirty meters in the tunnel that extended diagonally downward, they suddenly came to a collapsed gate, because the rest of the gate was covered by mud and sand, so that now only a small part of the gate was revealed before their eyes.
However, listening to Zhang Sihai, who walked in front, said that this is the end of the tunnel, and the collapsed and rotten gate in front of him is the entrance to the palace.
Although the gate is made of wooden materials, the door beams and door posts on both sides of the gate are carved by huge granite, so although the gate of this palace is rotten and not decent because of the age, but because of these stone pillars and stone beams to support, the gate of the entire palace has not completely collapsed, but under the squeezing of the sediment above, some serious deformation.
At this time, under the prompting of Zhang Sihai, everyone entered this ancient palace that had been buried underground for many years.
