Chapter 237: The Terrifying Netherworld Mansion
"But it's so dangerous here, you're so old, and I just found out that every stone pillar here is carved with an ancient beast, and those tiger Jiao should also be an ancient beast carved on the stone pillar, what if you just chase the zombies and meet other fierce beasts."
If nothing else, you only met those three tiger Jiao, and you are no match for them. Although Gu Tianhan had already said so, Zhou Fan still didn't want him to go on an adventure, after all, there were not only zombies here, but also some more terrifying ancient beasts, if Gu Tianhan encountered it, it would be troublesome.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Tianhan saw that Zhou Fan was still stopping, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "You kid can recognize me, I guess your grandfather also told you about our past." After saying that, Gu Tianhan turned to stare at Zhou Fan.
Seeing that Zhou Fan nodded in agreement, he continued: "I have been staying here for almost seventy years, and no one knows everything here better than me, I know what you said, but if you let zombies harm the people, it is not a matter of personal life and death, and you only know one and not the other." After saying that, Gu Tianhan didn't speak, pretended to sit on the ground mysteriously, and rested.
"Oh, is there anything else hidden in this?" Zhou Fan paused, seeing that Gu Tianhan was not in a hurry, he knew that he must have other plans in his heart, and now the time is already noon in the sun, he has not rested all night, and now after calming down, he also feels tired, so he simply does not plan to act immediately, and waits quietly for the old man's next step.
"It's a long story." The old man said and handed Zhou Fan an ancient parchment scroll, the parchment scroll was also engraved with a map, to be exact, it should be a map of the underground palace drawn with a parchment scroll, this picture Zhou Fan was extremely shocked after seeing it, the grandeur of the underground palace on the map is even more than ten times larger than the imperial city of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
"This, this is..." At this time, Zhou Fan was so surprised that his speech was a little knotted, after he took the parchment roll, he found that the parchment roll was more than one meter long and eighty or ninety centimeters wide, and the things presented inside after he opened the parchment roll made him not know what language to use to express.
"Don't be so surprised, you can put this parchment roll away." Gu Tianhan said, stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge stone door in the distance and said, "Over there is the West Main Palace of the Netherworld Xuanfu, and the place where you are standing now is only a part of this huge Netherworld Xuanfu."
This parchment scroll has been passed down for thousands of years, it is the treasure of my sect, and it is a complete map of the underground palace of the Netherworld Xuanfu, which is the structure of the underground palace recorded by the first generation of the sect master of my sect after entering the Netherworld Xuanfu.
From a thousand years ago to the present, it is a detailed record of the underground palace structure of the Netherworld Xuanfu and some dangerous places of the underground palace, you take this picture, you must not damage or lose, if it is really a last resort, you will destroy it.
This picture must not fall into the hands of those who have a heart, the secrets in the Netherworld Mansion cannot be revealed, and if the world knows that there is such an incomparably magnificent underground palace here, the whole world will be shocked. ”
After saying that, the old man slowly stood up, asked Zhou Fan to open the parchment roll and put it on the ground, and then pointed to one of the areas with a flashlight and said: "The place where we are now is only on the periphery, and we have not entered the interior of the tomb at all, you see why they are in this position now."
This is the West Main Palace, the West Main Palace is divided into three layers, the outermost layer is the Nine Styx River, that is, the 100-meter cliff abyss behind you when you came up just now, and then you come in one layer is the place where you are staying now, the Sacrificial Square.
And the innermost layer, is under the feet of the people, there are countless Qionglou Yuyu West Main Palace Palace, the same is the only entrance to the main tomb, the outermost layer has nine Netherworld rivers running through the entire Netherworld Xuanfu, the east and west palaces, separated by a river.
There are four main palaces in the Netherworld Xuanfu, the upper north, the south, the left, the west, the right and the east branches, corresponding to the position of the four fierce beasts, and the source of the Nine Nether Styx is the north main palace, and the parchment scroll records that the four palaces are guarded by four fierce beasts.
The beast of the palace tomb in the east is the scorching sun dragon, the beast of the palace tomb in the west is the red-blooded tiger Jiao, the beast of the palace tomb in the south is the tomb god bird, and finally the northern palace has the basalt god turtle beast to guard.
I didn't know anything before, but since I came out of the Netherworld with your grandfather, I went to look for my master's relics, and saw a record of the Netherworld Mansion in one of his codexes, and the codex also mentioned this parchment scroll.
However, at that time, this parchment scroll had already been brought into the coffin by my master, just because the zombie released by Lin Zongran was not completely killed by us, and after we hit it hard, it fled everywhere to plague the people.
It wasn't until sixty-seven years ago that I found it sneaking back here, and I fought with it, but it had no choice but to escape into the tomb, and I had to take out the parchment in order to find the entrance to the tomb.
But what I didn't want to see was that I actually let the Netherworld Mansions appear again. Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his eyes seemed to reveal a look of remorse.
"Grandpa Gu, don't care, after all, it's already in the past, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, just be worthy of your heart." Zhou Fan saw the old man's state, and he didn't know what to say.
I can only try to say a few words, after all, people have reached this age, and everything can be discussed, and it is useless for him to say comforting words.
"Alas," Zhou Fan didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that Gu Tianhan looked even more lonely, he sighed deeply and said: "That was more than thirty years ago, at that time, there was a group of foreigners, it seemed that they were also looking for the Netherworld Xuanfu, they didn't know where to get the information, they knew that there was such an underground palace here.
It's just that they don't know the entrance to the Xuanfu underground palace, so they have no choice but to live near this area, and it just so happened that I came to that village after I was injured, and I didn't have any contact with them at first, but after a few days, the zombies suddenly chased after them, and the people in the village died and were injured.
And some of their hands were also killed by zombies, and they said that they must kill that zombie to avenge their people, and I was so focused on zombies that I didn't understand their evil intentions.
So I took them to chase the zombies into the dungeon, but as soon as they entered the dungeon, they turned their faces, and instead of helping me get rid of the zombies, they forced me to find the entrance to the main tomb, and I had no choice but to take the risk to take them to the north main palace.
But after going there, those foreigners had to slaughter creatures by the deep lake, which happened to be the habitat of the Xuanwu Turtle Beast, and the blood led to the Xuanwu Turtle, and I was able to escape in the chaos at that time.
But fortunately, it was the North Main Palace that they took them, and what they were carrying * exploded in deep water, otherwise this place would have collapsed a long time ago, and I was even more seriously injured and unable to chase and kill zombies, so I had to go out to recuperate.
But when I came out of my wounds, I found that those people did not die, but escaped partially, and since then the information of the Netherworld Xuanfu has also leaked out, if I hadn't taken out this parchment scroll from my master's coffin at that time, then I wouldn't have found the entrance to the underground palace, let alone brought those people in.
After discovering this parchment scroll, I realized that there was a great secret hidden here, and it was precisely because of this that my sect had guarded this place for generations, and I didn't know the reason for this before.
I thought it was just to guard the Netherworld Mansion and prevent those evil spirits from going out to make trouble, but it wasn't until the sheepskin was rolled up that it was one of them to guard the Xuanfu and not let the demons go out to make trouble, and more importantly, not to let the secret of the Netherworld Xuanfu appear. ”
"Grandpa Gu, what is this secret, which is worthy of your sect to guard for thousands of years?" At this time, Zhou Fan was extremely curious about the so-called big secret in front of him, but he also carefully observed the parchment scroll.
I found that the above is just a map of the underground palace of the fault, why the fault is called, because the underground palace drawn above is not complete, some places are blank, some places are just drawn a rough, or even just outlined.
There are even some places that are painted on a big red circle, although the information on it is very large, but it does not mention at all what the secret of the Netherworld Xuanfu is, which can't help but make him feel extremely mysterious and faintly excited.
Gu Tianhan first shook his head, and then sighed, "I don't understand, I saw from Master's Codex that there is indeed a shocking mystery in the Netherworld Xuanfu, and even this secret is so terrifying that it can turn the world upside down, oh, by the way, my master went to the ancient city because he discovered this secret, that is, your hometown, the ancient city of Longzhou." ”
"What? It is even related to the ancient city? Zhou Fan jumped up in shock for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Gu Tianhan with a shocked face.
