Chapter 209: Tomb of the Snake God (5) Underground Palace

Cautiously, Chu Liang and I slowly approached the location where Lu Mang was.

The green glow is light, it looks soft, and it is not dazzling.

When Chu Liang and I came to the entrance, I poked my head into the room and saw a shocking and appalling scene. Shockingly, the space illuminated by the green light is huge, and there are buildings similar to ancient palaces in the space.

To the astonishment, in front of the palace, there was a bridge. Under the bridge, there is a flowing stream of water, and at the same time, a statue of a snake is soaked in the water. Each snake figure has a snake spirit hovering above its head.

From time to time, the snake spirits flew out of the snake figures, but they didn't fly too far.

Because, ah, I noticed that in the direction where the flowing water converged, there was a huge crystal stone. The crystal stone is carved with intricate runes, forming the "main array" of the Spirit Cultivation Array. ”

Those snake spirits were trapped in the main array.

At the same time, I also noticed that on a towering palace plaque in the middle, three words were engraved on the dragon: Silver Snake Sect!

Suddenly, it occurred to me that this was not a tomb at all, but the location of the Silver Serpent sect. But the question arises again, how can even a sect be built underground. And if it's a sect, where are the people of the sect?

Maybe what the Silver Serpent Cult has gone through, the cult inside has been disbanded.

Suddenly, I thought again, the bloody corpses in the path of the tomb. In a trance, a terrible thought popped into my head......

My face was calm, and the green glow shone on my face, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Daoist Qin, you... Are you okay? Chu Liang asked me cautiously.

I looked back and said, "I'm fine." ”

Chu Liang muttered again: "This place is really too big, a little terrifying. At first glance, those palaces look like ancient buildings. There are also those snake figures in the water, they are like the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is really spectacular. ”

"If this discovery is known to people outside, I am afraid it will shock the whole world."

Chu Liang rolled his eyes, and said with a happy face: "The palace here is so big, there must be a lot of treasures in it, if we find those treasures, we will be developed." ”

I glanced at Chu Liang and said angrily: "Looking for the baby now, it's not the most important thing, I still have to find my second senior brother and them!" ... Also, don't you want to get the method of 'resurrection from the dead'? ”

After I reminded him like this, Chu Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, what is a baby, there is still no way to compare it with 'coming back from the dead'!" ... But Daoist Qin, if you want to go to the palace now, you have to cross that bridge. ”

"But there are so many snake figures under that bridge."

"If we get closer, I'm afraid the snake spirit inside the snake figure will attack us. Those snake spirits, I see, have eight hundred, if not a thousand, and they are not at all something we can deal with. And their eyes, too, can affect people. ”

I replied, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll protect you." ”

Saying this, I dragged Chu Liang and beckoned, "Let's go, let's go over." ”

Chu Liang wanted to break my hand away, but I had already dragged him completely into this space.

As soon as we entered the space, the snake spirits entrenched above the head of the snake figure all opened their eyes in unison, and the snake eyes stared at us.

And even the eyes of the snake statue also glowed red.

"No, it's too dangerous to go straight over, we'll be controlled by hallucinations." Chu Liang said nervously.

I was about to recite the Awakening Mantra to sober myself up. But the hallucinations did not appear. And the red beads in the eye sockets of those snake people were all dimmed after just a few lights.

"Huh? What's going on, it's... No hallucinations were created. ”

Even Chu Liang thought it was incredible.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I guess there could be two reasons. One reason is that people who have been affected by the snake statue once are difficult to be controlled by the Dan Hongzhu in the eyes of the snake figure. The other is that those snake figures are bound to the main array of the Spirit Cultivation Array, and they cannot create illusions through the main array to affect a person. ”

"I think the second possibility is a bit more likely. However, no matter what, since those snake spirits don't attack us, and the snake pupils of the snake figure can't affect us, it will also be beneficial to us for the time being. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the palaces."

Chu Liang couldn't wait. As soon as I finished speaking, he walked briskly towards the stone bridge.

Soon, the two of us came to the top of the stone bridge, and on the ground next to the stone bridge, I found a pile of talisman ash.

Picking up the talisman ash with my hand, I sniffed the smell of it, and there was a little earthy aroma coming from it. This proves that Fu Ash was left behind by my second senior brother.

The talisman ash exudes the aroma of the earth, which is only the talisman ash left by the yellow talisman of our Lushan sect Taoist priest, and other sects, what Longhu Mountain, what Maoshan sect's yellow talisman, will not be like this.

I also noticed that there were a lot of patterns drawn on the stone surface of the stone bridge.

The patterns were bright red and looked like they had just been painted, but I knew they weren't smeared, they were always on the bridge.

And those patterns depict human beings with a human head and a snake body.

The difference is that the man and the snake man look like a woman are not the same. Although it was also a woman's appearance, the woman had no hair at all, and there were small slender snakes coiled on top of her head. It was as if a baby snake had been born out of her body.

Also, although the woman had a long snake tail, a pair of white feet were exposed next to the snake tail.

This reminds me of Western myths and legends. Could it be that this pattern indicates that the snake is about to evolve into a human?

Chu Liang lay on the deck of the stone bridge and studied the pattern.

After a while, he made a voice in surprise and called me, "Daoist Qin, come over quickly, look, here... There are words, the traces are very new, and it should be newly engraved not long ago. ”

I hurriedly went to Chu Liang, and Chu Liang pointed with his finger.

I looked down and saw that there were indeed a few crooked words on the bridge deck. However, although the handwriting is not clear, it can still be vaguely recognized as Chinese characters.

It reads: Watch out for the coffin!

"Be careful with the coffin? ... What does that mean? When we came here, we didn't see a single coffin. Chu Liang said.

I thought for a moment and said, "This should be the main burial chamber of this tomb." If I'm not mistaken, the main burial chamber would be in those palaces. There may have been a coffin in the main burial chamber. ”

"Those four words were either left by my second senior brother, or by Daoist Ouyang Dao Chang. In all probability... They're already in trouble. But the strange thing is, according to my friend, they weren't killed by the Blood Corpse King, why is there no trace here?! ”

And my heart became confused again.

"No! ... We can't stay on the stone bridge for long, we have to go to the palace opposite. ”

Chu Liang had already thought about it, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

So I clutched the wand of the ghost, and with great vigilance in my heart, I walked towards those palaces with Chu Liang.

The palace is similar to the ancient palaces, and even more splendid than the ancient palaces. Outside, there are "auspicious jars", "tripod incense burners", "copper turtles and cranes", "snake people stone statues" and so on.

And it also follows the principle of "central axis symmetry".

It can be seen that the construction of this underground palace is in line with many ancient construction concepts.

Strangely, it looks like it should have been closed for a long time, but there is not a single trace of dust on the bluestone floor.

We didn't wander around, but went straight to the depths of the palace.

The structure here is the same as the Forbidden City I saw in the capital. One of the small palaces, Chu Liang and I went in to take a look, and found that the furnishings in the palace were very complete.

In the middle is a particularly large Dan furnace.

However, the Dan furnace is no longer alchemy, and when the lid of the Dan furnace is lifted, it is found that there are a lot of ashes inside.

I thought about the little mention of the Silver Serpent Cult in that ancient book.

The Silver Snake Sect believes in the snake god, and the disciples practice a Taoist technique called "Snake Divine Gong". At the same time, the disciples of the Snake God Sect also made alchemy, and the ancient books mentioned that in the early years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the elixir of the Snake God Sect once saved the life of a Manchu emperor.

Looking at this huge Dan Furnace, I thought to myself, maybe this pill that the Silver Snake Sect had refined at the beginning would really be of some use.

Chu Liang didn't know when an extra magnifying glass appeared in his hand, and he carefully observed the Dan furnace. After a while, he said to me with a happy face, "It's a baby, it's definitely a baby!" ... If you get this Dan furnace out, it will definitely sell for hundreds of thousands. ”

I pouted and said, "Okay, if you want to sell it, you can move it out alone." ”

Hearing me say this, Chu Liang put down the magnifying glass and said helplessly: "This thing is really too big, it is a dream to get it out alone." Moreover, this tomb is too dangerous inside. ”

That is, when I was talking to Chu Liang, suddenly, my eyes caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in front of the door of this palace.

I looked back, but there was nothing at the palace gate.

Chu Liang was shocked when he saw me, so he also looked at the gate of this palace, but he didn't find anything.

"Daoist Qin, what's wrong with you? Did you notice something? Chu Liang asked me uneasily.

I nodded and said, "Just now I seem to have seen a dark shadow flash through the gate of this palace. ”

"Dark shadows? ... The should... It can't be a ghost, right? Chu Liang's eyes were full of horror, and his eyes were scattered back and forth, left and right, as if a ghost was standing behind him.

I replied, "I don't know. However, it shouldn't be a ghost, if it's a ghost, with my current perception, I can still sense the evil aura on the ghost. Ordinary ghosts can't escape my eyes. ”

I then looked around again with my cursed eyes, but found nothing.

"Okay, here, my second senior brother shouldn't have been here. Let's continue to walk inside. ”

I said to Chu Liang.

Chu Liang followed me and left the palace.

Neither I nor Chu Liang noticed that not long after we left here, behind a pillar outside this palace, a dark shadow slowly emerged.

The shadow was a ghost, wrapped in a black robe, and he couldn't be seen at all.

But the eyes under the hood of the robe shimmered with a faint green light, like the eyes of a wild beast.
