Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Chief
"Let's go in and have a look, with this Hegong Cave Mansion, we will have a place to settle down in the future." Chen Du took the lead and walked towards the stone gate, and the hair eaters followed together.
When they arrived in front of the stone gate, Chen Du pushed hard, and the heavy stone gate opened around, and a bright light shot out, illuminating their figures.
When the brilliance waned, Chen Du and the others walked in and found that the layout inside was similar to that of some houses in ancient times, except that it was completely built in an underground cave.
The cave has its own light, and the entrance is a garden with rockeries, flowers, winding paths, and several pavilions, and even a small pond, the water of the pond is turquoise and clear, and it seems to be unfathomable.
This is similar to the courtyard of a rich family in ancient times, and it is reasonable for a river god to enjoy such treatment.
Chen Du took the lead and walked on a cobblestone path, until he walked to the opposite lobby, which was obviously a place to entertain guests, with two rows of tables and chairs, and ancient calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall facing the door.
"Wow, good place, the first choice for tea and chat in the future!" The Hair Eater ran in merrily, and sat down on a chair, if only there was another servant serving tea.
However, Chen Du, the master, didn't sit down, but he sat down first, and immediately felt that something was wrong, raised his buttocks, nodded and asked, "Lord River, please sit!" ”
Chen Du raised his hand indifferently: "Don't be restrained, you sit down, everyone will sit too, this will be the place where we will always stay in the future." ”
Lu Xiaotian and Wang Daoming also found a place to sit down with a full sense of novelty, but they both consciously sat on the side of the hair eater, and Chen Du sat alone opposite them, which is that they are also paying attention to the way of host and guest, or they deliberately treat Chen Du as the boss and consciously give him the respect he deserves.
Chen Du already understood their thoughts, so naturally he didn't say anything more about not having to say anything like this, and after resting for a while, he said to the Eater: "You go elsewhere to see what other rooms are here, it's best to make a summary, and you will be the head of the Hegong Cave Mansion in the future." ”
When the hair eater heard that he had given himself an official position, he stood up happily and said, "I know, let's go and summarize it!" ”
After he ran away, Chen Du and the others did not continue to sit here, and came to the garden outside together and walked around.
The flowers and plants here are not ordinary and do not need to be trimmed, and after so many years, they still maintain their lush and beautiful appearance.
When passing by the small green and clear pond, Chen Du and the others stopped, it was very deep inside, and they couldn't even explore the soul sense, which was a little weird.
"Lord River, is there something in here? Why can't you even find out your soul sense? Wang Daoming asked.
Chen Du was also coming to his cave for the first time, so he naturally didn't know what was going on, and he was at a loss.
Lu Xiaotian picked up a pebble and threw it into the small pond to observe when it went to the end, but the pebble kept falling and never looked like the end, and finally she couldn't observe the pebble at all.
"I don't think it's weird, it's because the water is too deep, and the soul sense can't be explored at all."
Wang Daoming also agreed with what Lu Xiaotian said, Chen Du stared at the water for a long time and didn't speak, and he didn't know what his attitude was.
As they were about to leave the small pond and take a look at the pavilions and sit down, the Hair Eater came back with a run.
"Lord River God, I have finished summing up, there are thirty-five rooms of various sizes here, including a large number of bedrooms, as well as utility rooms, cultivation rooms, weapons rooms, cells, etc., and there is a very luxurious and elegant separate courtyard behind the reception hall, it is estimated that it is the residence of the river god."
After listening to the report of the hair-eating ghost, Chen Du didn't pay much attention to the independent courtyard of the river god, and asked emphatically: "You said that there are weapons rooms and cells?" ”
Wang Daoming and Lu Xiaotian are also more concerned about this.
"Well, there are still a lot of weapons in the armory room, knives, guns, clubs, and clubs, everything, as for the cell, there are still some strange-shaped creatures, but after so many years, they have all died and become white bones."
Since Chen Du was the master here, he immediately decided to go to the armory room and the cell to have a look.
"Take us to those two places."
The Hair Eater immediately led the way in front, and Chen Du and the others quickly entered the opposite house, and the first thing they went to was the armory room.
There are quite a few shelves standing against the wall, and they are full of various weapons such as single guns and clubs.
Chen Du only glanced at it and was disappointed, these weapons could not be compared to his River God Sabre.
It was the hair eaters, and after seeking Chen Du's consent, they each chose a favorite weapon.
From here, they went to the back row of low houses, which were the cells of the former river god and where many youkai had been imprisoned.
In front, the Hair Eater pushed open a pitch-black door, and Chen Du was the first to enter, and the Hair Eater followed behind.
Passing in front of the rows of cells, Chen Du immediately saw a strangely shaped skeleton in a cell, with horns and claws, but looking at the skull, it looked a bit like a fish head.
"This is probably a big fish that has cultivated to perfection, and was caught here by the former Muxi River God because he did a lot of evil things." Wang Daoming speculated.
Chen Du agreed, this is also what the river god should do, but now it is different from the past, the heavenly court has fallen, and there are no monsters in the world, the key is that the people in the nearby yang world do not seem to believe in him, the river god, and he cannot perform the duties of the river god.
"It is said that the bones of the monster are precious medicines, which can be used to refine pills and medicines, and even directly used to replenish the essence of the body. Lu Xiaotian looked at Chen Du with a smile, she knew that Chen Du had a way to do business in the yang world.
Chen Du's eyes moved, Lu Xiaotian really reminded him, but he didn't need this at the moment, it was useless to use the bones of these monsters to exchange for money in the yang world, and it was pointless to make him the richest man in the world now.
Chen Du continued to walk forward, and the monsters that had turned into white bones were still imprisoned in the cell.
"These monsters may have been trapped here for a long time, and there was no one in the Hegong Cave Mansion to take care of them back then?" After watching it for a long time, Wang Daoming couldn't help but ask.
The Hair Eater lived for a long time, was old, and knew a lot, so he immediately explained: "It is said that before the fall of Heavenly Court, he encountered a great calamity, and gathered all the immortals in the heavens and the earth and the slaves around the immortals to Heaven to jointly resist the strong enemy, but the battle was very tragic, and the entire army of Heavenly Court was wiped out, and naturally there was no one alive in the Hegong Cave Mansion. ”
This was all 3,000 years ago, and the disaster came here, and the youkai imprisoned here were also implicated.
"Why didn't the underworld fall with the Heavenly Court, didn't the underworld obey the call of the Heavenly Court and go to the Heavenly Court with all its might?" Chen Du couldn't help but think of this layer at this moment, according to the rules, even if the underworld is relatively independent, it is still subordinate to Heavenly Court.
Lu Xiaotian, Hair Eater, and Wang Daoming, all three of whom were born in the underworld, were a little unsure of how to answer this question, because it seemed that no one had ever explained this question.
