"No, no, I think it still depends on fate, maybe I need to take something to sacrifice to the sky." Chu Yaocen didn't know whether it was a joke or a joke to tease Xiaohu, so he actually said so.

Xiaohu opened his mouth, and was about to reply to him, when suddenly a strange thunder sounded in the sky, lighting up the entire sky.

Xiaohu screamed in fright, and hurriedly hid behind Qingdi, trembling while asking, "Do you really want to take people to sacrifice to the sky?" ”

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but sneer: "How many unfortunate things have you done, an ordinary spring thunder will scare you like this." Spring thunder is normal or not, this just means that spring rain is about to fall, and it also proves that this year will be a year of wind and rain. ”

"Without a trace, why are you here again?" Qingdi couldn't get used to seeing no trace and always bullied Xiaohu, so he frowned and said a word to him.

Shadow picked the corners of his mouth without a trace, and whispered: "I can't get used to seeing her like an eldest lady, if you are afraid of hardship, tiredness, and fear of ghosts, don't come out to mix." ”

Qingdi didn't hear him clearly, so he didn't continue to criticize him.

Xiaohu heard it, but still didn't quarrel with Trace...... After killing again, he noticed Xiaohu's abnormality, this is really strange, if it was someone else, Xiaohu would have scolded him for leading the way.

"But it's really raining, let's go back quickly, and come out to have a look when the rain is over."

Qingdi nodded, and the group went back first.

The number of wagons was not enough for so many people to hide from the rain, but fortunately they also brought tents and umbrellas. Xiaohu sat in the carriage, held his chin and looked out, and sighed: "Good day, how to say that it rains, it rains." ”

"That's what spring looks like," Chu Yaocen said, "I don't know how long this rain will last, if the ground becomes very muddy, it will be even more troublesome for us to look for it." ”

No one answered, and everyone felt very anxious.

The second half of the day was heavy rain, until it was almost dark, the rain stopped, the sun appeared again, the foot of the mountain was clear and clean, and all the turbid air was washed away.

A few people who didn't have time to come back to shelter from the rain just now also came back at this time, and those people had excited and anxious looks on their faces, and ran to Xiaohu and said: "Princess, there is a mound of earth in that direction, it rained just now, and the rain made it sink in the middle, revealing a bottomless hole, I don't know if it is the entrance to the mausoleum." ”

Chu Yaocen quickly raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go over and take a look." ”

So he took a few men to the place where the hole appeared, and the place where it collapsed revealed a large crack, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see how deep the hole was from above.

Looking at the entrance of the cave again, a strange halfling stone sculpture was also washed out by the rain, revealing most of the body, with teeth and claws very terrifying, that expression, it seemed that he wanted to eat the people who came to this cave.

Chu Yaocen held his chin, stared at the statue tightly for a long time, and said to himself: "This thing, I seem to have seen it somewhere......"

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were not quite sure.

After a while, Chu Yaocen suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "I remembered, this is the entrance to the mausoleum." Without a trace, go and call everyone over, and bring the salute here. ”

"How do you know this is the entrance to the mausoleum? Do you want to go down and have a look before you call someone? Qingdi asked him.

"It's best not to act separately here, even if this is not the entrance to the mausoleum, nothing will happen if we go down together. I guessed correctly, though. Chu Yaocen pointed to the ugly statue at the entrance of the cave and said, "This stone sculpture is called Yansi, she was a girl who couldn't marry because of her ugly appearance, and her family was ridiculed by the neighbors because of her. After her parents died of old age, all her family's property was robbed. She died of grief, buried in her heart with endless resentment, and became a sacred beast dedicated to guarding the tomb after her death. By the way, this rumor is from the era of the First Emperor, and no one has taken the salt division to see the tomb now. ”

Yan Xi looked at the stone sculpture and asked, "Are you sure?" Could it be the entrance to the tomb of the other people buried in Lishan, not the First Emperor's? ”

"Oh, I forgot to mention just now that Shioji is not a good ghost, in the biographies of the previous dynasty, she is in league with the evil gods, and serious people will not use her as a divine beast to guard the tomb after death. According to legend, the First Emperor wanted immortality very, very much, and it was useless for him to ask for gods and Buddhas all his life, and finally decided to ask for evil gods to live forever. That's why we're seeing this now. Chu Yaocen said.

Qingdi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”

Chu Yaocen smiled: "This is just a rumor, but it is true that the First Emperor wants to live forever, he once sent a large number of people to the east to seek the art of immortality, but as a result, that group of people ran to Neon Island and settled on Neon Island." This is true. I don't believe that there are any ghosts and gods in the world, but if there are many people, if there is any powerful mechanism, we can deal with it together. ”

"Second master, I know, you wait a while, I'll go and call everyone over now." After saying that, he hurried back to call someone.

Soon the crowd came, and they still had twenty men on it to look after their luggage, and the others were ready to go down. Before leaving, Chu Yaocen looked back at Xiaohu again, and said, "Xiaohu, it must be very dangerous down there, once something happens, we may not be able to protect you, do you really want to go down with us?" ”

Xiaohu nodded: "It's okay, my guards will protect me." ”

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, then he was relieved. He looked at Qingdi again, and was about to speak, Qingdi reached out to cover his mouth, and said, "Worry about yourself, if I encounter danger, I will definitely pull you as a backpad." ”

"If you can do it, I'm relieved." Chu Yaocen rubbed Qingdi's head and said with a smile.

So they took their tools and prepared to go in. Chu Yaocen walked in the front, and was just about to take the first step, but Qingdi, who was following closely behind, still reached out and grabbed him.

Chu Yaocen was a little puzzled, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

It was the first time to enter such a dangerous place, and the indifference on the surface of Qingdi was naturally pretended. She sighed, let go of Chu Yaocen, and said, "Be careful, I'm afraid that there will be a mechanism." ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "I know." ”

Chu Yaocen illuminated the cave with the torch in his hand, and found that there was a winding stone staircase that went down, and he didn't know how many steps. The width of the stairs was large enough for two people to stand, and he was the first to enter, holding the green flute in one hand and the torch in the other.

The people behind also followed in two first steps, and until all the people entered, Chu Yaocen still didn't see the ground.

Xiaohu's position was five steps away from Chu Yaocen and Qingdi, she was too tired to walk, stretched out her head and asked Chu Yaocen in front: "Cousin, how many steps are there to go down to the bottom?" ”

Qingdi was also too tired to work, and asked, "Yes, Yaocen, how long is this staircase?" ”

"It is estimated that there are 666 layers of this ladder, because at that time, the First Emperor admired the number 'six' very much." Chu Yaocen chuckled and said, "You guys should be content, the current emperors all advocate 'nine', if we enter a tomb of the current emperor, then we will have to go through the nine hundred and ninety-nine floors." ”

When the latter heard Chu Yaocen's words, he comforted the little tiger beside him and said, "We have already walked four hundred and twenty-four steps, and according to the second master, there are still one-thirds left." Work harder. ”

Xiaohu snorted and said, "I can't walk anymore, let's kill you and carry me." ”

After the killing, he hesitated, nodded and was about to carry Xiaohu, but the shadow next to him was really unbearable, he knocked Xiaohu's head hard, and said coldly: "If you are tired, others are not tired?" If you let you kill you, who will carry him? Don't be so selfish, okay? ”

Xiaohu glanced at him aggrievedly, didn't dare to say anything more, and walked forward with his head buried.

After killing for a moment, he turned his head and said to the shadow: "Why do you keep bullying people?" I didn't even speak, what did you say? ”

"I'm teaching children how to behave, you can't be so used to her knowing? You're not her father. Besides, I'm so tired if I go up after I get the treasure, won't I be even more unable to walk? Shadow Disappear gently pushed and killed: "Hurry up, don't get in the way, there are many people behind." ”

After the killing, he twisted his brows, Xiaohu has been bullied without a trace for so many days, and he has never resisted. There's definitely something weird about that.

But Xiaohu didn't say anything, he couldn't do anything, so he hurriedly chased two steps and walked to Xiaohu's side.

Chu Yaocen was right, there were indeed six hundred and sixty-six floors on this step.

He was the first to come down the steps, and what appeared in front of him was an extremely wide place, and it was not a problem to put a few thousand people in such a large place, and it was no problem for them to bring six hundred. There are crystal stones used for lighting all around, and it seems that this underground palace is not as gloomy as the legend says.

Looking at it again, there were two caves on the left and right, Chu Yaocen hurriedly took out the jade pendant from Qingdi's neck and looked at it, and said with great joy, "From this place onwards, it is the place depicted on the map, these two holes are two tombs in the east and west, each with two ear chambers, and the ear chambers are parked for carriages and horses to worship meals." The chariots and horses were all of brass, and worthless. ”

Qingdi nodded, Chu Yaocen meant that he didn't care about those carriages and horses, and went in directly to get the valuable.

"Which way do we go?" Qingdi asked.

"Wait a while for them all to come down, and we'll go to the east side," Chu Yaocen pointed to the entrance road on the east side, "Although the east side is winding and rugged, it is more spacious, and it is not easy to arrange mechanisms according to reason, and it is convenient for us to dodge if there are really mechanisms." ”

After he finished speaking, he hung the jade pendant back on the green flute. Qingdi couldn't help but feel funny, and said, "It's on you." ”

Chu Yaocen shook his head: "You take it, if something happens to me, you can leave here according to the map above." ”

Qingdi's heart moved, it turned out that he had been putting this important piece of jade on himself, was it for this purpose? She was silent for a moment, then nodded.

In a short time everyone had reached the flat land and began to move towards the entrance on the east side.

Outside, the twenty or so people who were in charge of guarding the luggage and guarding the entrance did not dare to slack off for a moment, but they did not notice the eyes hidden in the dark forest, staring straight at them.
