Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fighting Palace

The group of thieves followed the partridge whistle, and when they saw this fairyland-like palace in a bottle, they couldn't help but be stunned, and their eyes were straight, Rao was that their appetite was big enough, but they never dreamed that there would be such a large temple, and those ancient lamps alone were inexhaustible.

Hua Ling came out to move the mountain for less than half a year, and he hadn't seen anything in the world, but he felt that the demonic aura in the depths of the palace was shrouded, and he couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, and grabbed the partridge whistle's arm and hid behind him: "Senior brother, that strange place ahead...... Like a Taoist palace for alchemy, how can it be a temple that hides the dead? ”

Partridge Whistle thirteen years old began to follow the previous generation of mountain movers to rob the tomb, the grand scale of the emperor's tomb and the ancient tomb of the princes and kings have also been robbed, although the underground palace in the mountain tomb is luxurious and magnificent, there is no such fairyland-like atmosphere in front of him, this is simply a whole Taoist mountain in the building all moved into the cave, but the yin in this mountain is as heavy as a ghost palace, in addition to the demon qi how there is a little fairy energy.

At this time, as soon as Hua Ling asked, Partridge Whistle replied casually: "Take food and ask for immortals?" Hey...... It's just a spring dream of the emperors, and then the mountains and rivers were broken, and the golden palace of the fairy palace was not used as a grave by a general of the Yuan Dynasty, so I will go over to see the Xiangxi corpse king in the fairy palace...... See if it has three heads and six arms, or is covered with copper and iron armor. ”

The partridge whistle of the mountain mover wanted to go to Qianbian to steal the ancient tomb of Yelang Wang, but he pounced, and his heart was a little anxious, and now he saw the ancient tomb of Bottle Mountain, like a fairyland in a bottle, I don't know what secret weapons of the previous dynasty were hidden in it, he saw the hunting heart, and couldn't help but itch, and immediately wanted to go to the underground palace in front of him to find out.

The group of thieves and the old foreigners, Hua Ling and others saw that he was about to start the market, and they quickly picked up their instruments and wanted to follow him to the inverted fight, but as soon as they raised their feet, they found that there was a faint black gas in front of the palace tower, and there seemed to be a stream of black water flowing rapidly between the pillars on the top of the palace. Those with sharp eyes can see it clearly, and they are shocked that there are many centipedes in the hall.

The partridge whistle knows that with the angry chicken by his side, it is enough to restrain the tomb poison, but it can only ensure that there is no worry within a few hundred steps, if these dozen people go together, they are alone, it is inevitable that they will not take good care of everyone, at this time it is late, it is the time when the centipedes in the mountains spit poison, in case there is a gap in the poisonous insects, it will definitely damage the manpower, this bottle of the palace in the mountain is too big, if you want to steal the treasure, you can only wait for Chen Blind to bring a large group of people to come over to completely eliminate the poison insects in the tomb.

Entering the bottle mountain to rob the tomb is different from the partridge whistle's previous experience of moving mountains and fighting upside down, one is to move the mountains and unload the mountains to start a covenant, if you don't wait for the helmsman of Changsheng Mountain to come, you will be the first to do it, it will inevitably have a negative covenant, and you will lose your righteousness; Second, now that there are more than a dozen brothers with him, it is not as good as doing it alone before, and it is not allowed to let them take risks because of their own whims.

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle had no choice but to be patient, carefully looked at the terrain and building structure in the belly of the mountain, and then led everyone to withdraw from the robbery cave with the red girl, leaving some people to widen the robbery hole made by the "Cave Tomb Armor" to open the way for the team behind.

The terrain around this bottle mountain is about to be stripped off, and two thieves are sent to contact the blind man Chen on the mountain, this process of going back and forth can be completed overnight, and the partridge whistle simply found a dry and flat place in the root of the mountain, lay down and fell asleep, and talked with the group of thieves when he was full of energy.

Partridge Whistle remembered that when he was digging the Tang Dynasty Si Tianling Palace in Shaanxi, he had met two sheep herding babies in Shaanxi, and it happened that Chen Blind had a business in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces at that time, so he entrusted this pair of sheep herding brothers to Chen Blind, and at this moment I thought about it and asked the group of thieves how the two brothers were now?

Mention them, the group of thieves in the mountains are disdainful, the old sheepskin and the sheep two eggs, the two boys, are people and small hearts, although they followed the helm handle in Changsheng Mountain to insert incense into the gang, but they can only run before and after doing some small things, the last time the two pieces of material can scare the peeing pants, this time I heard that to dig the Xiangxi corpse king, these two legs were weak together, simply did not let them follow, I really don't know how the helm handle would have accepted them in the first place.

The partridge whistle also felt funny when he heard it, the two sheep herding babies were born as good people, and they didn't do anything illegal, and they didn't eat the evil, but they actually planted incense on the way to make a ringing horse, and the rebellion and murder and arson were really difficult for them, and they thought that it was really not good, and they would talk to Chen Blind in the future, let them pull out the incense and wash their hands, and give them money to do a good job.

After waiting patiently for a long time, Chen Blind finally brought people to Shanyin, and talked to the partridge whistle that it had been blown up on the ridge for a whole day, and it did not make any reputation.

Chen Blind and Luo Lao Crooked and others are almost the first time to see such a majestic palace treasure hall, are all amazed, but also can't hold back the ecstasy in their hearts, only the emperor Lao'er who is known as the true dragon son of heaven can live in the palace, in addition, only the "Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism" three religions of the sacred can have a palace, most of them are built in the cave blessed land of the gods and Buddhas, don't look at the bottle mountain projectile land, can hide in the belly of the mountain Dan Palace, compared to those famous mountains and rivers in the Buddha and Taoism palace, it is also more than that, it is really worthy of it" The reflection of red dust is too illusory", in which the treasures must be inexhaustible.

Luo Lao crooked the brim of his hat with a gun, and felt that his mouth was dry under joy, and he said happily: "Boss Chen, what are we waiting for?" Let the brother go on. ”

Blind Chen was almost shot to death in the urn city by the ghost army guarding the tomb last time, but at this moment he learned to be obedient, seeing that the underground palace is amazingly big, it should not be a trap for the false tomb and suspicious tomb, but he still does not dare to act rashly, and he can't take risks again in a hurry.

He immediately ordered to go down and let a hundred brothers from the engineer battalion go over with chickens and birds, and open the gate of the heavy palace, and if there was no accident, then raise a brigade to go in and loot the treasures, and allocate another two hundred engineers to build bamboo bridges in the stagnant water and mud at the root of the mountain, and dig wide robber holes, and prepare to transport the treasures in the tomb.

And Luo Lao was blind in one eye, and the injury was not yet healed, so Chen Blind asked him to bring heavy troops, set up machine guns to guard the path outside the mountain, so as not to mutiny halfway to the tomb robbers, and also cut down a mountain road to come out, so as to bring mules and horses to carry things, Luo Lao Crooked wanted to move the Ming weapon himself, but after thinking about it, although the troops who entered the mountain this time were all henchmen, there were still many soldiers who saw the money and opened their eyes, and they had to be guarded against, so according to the instructions of the helm handle, they went to the back mountain to dispatch men and horses.

Chen Blind Man and Partridge Sentry led the crowd to watch, only to see a hundred or so sappers who went in front of them, driving flocks of big roosters to smash open the gates of the temple in the mountain one by one, startling those centipedes in all directions, in a chaotic and noisy situation, and did not see any mechanism touched.

Chen Blind was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that this time he was holding the victory, and took the lead in covering his face with black veil, covering his mouth and nose, and covering his face with black gauze when robbing the tomb, which originated from the time when the horse thief killed people and set fire to do the deceitful deed, he was worried that he would be seen and his identity would be revealed, which would attract officers and soldiers to come and arrest him, and when he was fighting, he was afraid that the resentful spirits in the tomb would peep, as long as he was not recognized, he did not have to worry about being haunted by ghosts after returning home.

The group of thieves covered their faces with black gauze, tied their arms with cinnabar silk, lit lanterns and torches, and resisted the "centipedes hanging on the mountain ladder".

These days, Luo Lao's crooked troops are collecting everywhere, snatching up the chickens and birds in ten miles and eight townships, and buying a large number of them from Xiangyin, basically all of them are roosters, there are old and young, and even half-sized chickens have been brought, but there are more chickens, it is inevitable that there will be confusion, and some hens are mixed in somehow, at this time in the underground palace as soon as they are scattered, there will immediately be many jealous big roosters you and I peck, and fight each other bloody, but as soon as they touch the centipede in the palace, they all go straight to chase and fight for food, The chicken's paws held down the large and small centipedes and died alive on the ground.

Chen blind and other unloading mountain thieves, seeing that the art of moving mountains and reclamation is really not trivial, all admired, although this technique is not in line with the principle of the five elements, but can use the nature of all things in the world to restrain the life, drive the chickens and birds to kill the centipedes, finally in addition to this big trouble, now the treasure in the tomb, it is really like a smooth road.

All of a sudden, the silent underground palace roosters crowed, everywhere were chasing centipede roosters, in an instant there were thousands of centipedes to die, the species in the world are mutually restrictive, it is created by God, so it is called "natural enemy", ordinary centipede venom blackened, but this bottle mountain tomb is a medicine mountain, the size of the centipede venom living in it is colorful, some old centipedes are even more colorful, driven by those chickens and birds cornered, even in the face of natural enemies, although they can not spit poison, but they have to sacrifice their lives to fight, in the continuous vicious fight, Dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled chickens and birds were not strong enough, and they were all bitten to death by centipedes.

Although the Bottle Mountain Underground Palace is brilliantly lit, after all, it is not seen all the year round, the yin qi is extremely heavy, and those centipedes are good to grow and fat, and devour several other poisonous insects for food, which makes its toxicity particularly violent, and there are too many centipedes in the hall, they were chased by natural enemies at the beginning, and they only fled in all directions, but they were forced to be really tight by the chickens, and they actually made a fight of trapped beasts, and they came out of the cracks in the temple pillars, three or four centipedes fought a rooster, and between several major halls, the corpses of dead chickens and dead centipedes were everywhere, The rest of the living are still fighting desperately with red eyes.

The group of thieves are all murderous Jiangyang thieves, and there are many fierce soldiers who have been on the battlefield among those sappers, but the bloody wind and rain they have seen in their lives do not seem to be as good as the vicious battle between the chickens and the centipedes in the tomb in front of them.

Those roosters are aggressive, maybe they also see the sworn enemy on the whole body feather crown upside down, have to put the other party to death, and those centipedes are also chased in a hurry, as long as you can hear the rooster crow, even if you hide in the rock crevice, you can't live in peace, so you have to risk your life to die with the natural enemy, in the drama under the shadow of the lamp and candle, neither side took half a step back, and it was difficult to solve the problem for a while.

There are some timid thieves in the group, seeing that this formation is already like earth, Chen Blind Man's heart is not good, looking at the momentum, the centipede and the group of chickens still don't know who wins and who loses, they already know that they will bring more roosters into the mountain.

Partridge Whistle has also been watching, the angry chicken on his back, always hidden in the bamboo Lou refused to release, the bloody crown Jin Jie's rooster is the phoenix among the chickens, do not see the six-winged old centipede that is about to become fine, never let it go out to fight, just trapped in the bamboo basket to accumulate its anger.

The angry chicken noticed that the chickens outside were fighting centipedes, and they were really eager to try, and wanted to go out to peck at it, but they were trapped by the bamboo basket, and they were so anxious that they kept hitting the cage and wanted to come out.

But at this moment, the partridge whistle saw that the large flock of chickens and birds could not gain the upper hand, but were bitten to death by centipedes and poisoned more and more, so he had to pat the bamboo basket behind him with his hand, and the angry chickens inside were anxious to have nowhere to go, and suddenly flapped their wings and crowed, and the high-pitched golden rooster cries through the shrouded around the hall, and the centipedes who sacrificed their lives to fight heard this rooster crow, and they were all frightened and trembled, as if they had suddenly lost their souls, and they all stiffened, and their feet and feet were numb, and they climbed on the temple pillars and stone walls, and they were also planted headlong, and were chased up and pecked to death by the nearby roosters.

Seeing that the strength and weakness of the situation were reversed, Chen Blind was overjoyed, and praised the partridge whistle: "The art of moving mountains is worthy of its name, and the big thing is decided!" After saying that, he waved to the hundreds of men behind him, and shouted, "Little ones...... If you want to get rich, just stand shoulder to shoulder with your grandfather! ”

Nearly a thousand thieves and sappers followed behind the helm handle, holding torches high and dividing into several roads, like a flowing fire dragon, stepping on the stone steps and stone bridge in front of the main hall, and crowded into the first major hall, where most of the centipedes have been eliminated, and the chickens were driven in by the thieves who came in, and they all rushed into the palace behind to continue to chase and kill the remaining poisonous insects.

The group of thieves each dragged out their guns, saw that there was a centipede that did not feel dead and made up for a shot, or used a shovel to pry it to smash it a thin flat, the chaotic footsteps and gunshots resounded through the belly of the mountain, swarming all the way into the hall, the Dan Palace in the bottle mountain is the place where the Fang Shi burned the Dan to the emperors of the past dynasties, the palaces and pavilions are according to the inclined mountain, and they are also slowly rising, some places are the halls in the holes, there are holes in the halls, the use of natural terrain and topography, it is extremely ingenious.

Chen blind man and partridge whistle and others carry knives and guns, enter the outermost hall, only to see that there are also eight treasure glazed lamps hanging inside, about half of them are still burning, under the light of the torch lamp, the light and shadow in the hall are in a trance, there is only one vermilion lacquer pillar in this hall, and the top is supported by eighteen beams, it is the rare "one pillar and eighteen beams" in the ancient palace building, the main hall in the "Dan Palace" should be there a pillar without sorghum, take the meaning of the fairy law "immeasurable", call it "immeasurable hall".

In the front hall of a pillar and eighteen beams, there are many fairy paintings on the wall, inlaid with a lot of jewelry and jade for embellishment, reflected by the fire, it seems to be a brilliant streamer, and the eyes of the group of thieves are straight, Chen Blind said: "If there is chaos today, how can there be any business in the world?" In order to divide the dirt and gather righteousness, Pepsi can be done, this is called - heroes everywhere from all directions, there is a gun is the king of grass, it is when our Changsheng Mountain should be prosperous, what our generation did is to excavate the ancient tomb of the Ming Weapon, even here, there is no need to take care of it, look at the valuable ones are dug back, don't leave any of them. ”

There are more than 100,000 brothers in Changsheng Mountain, and it is not enough to plug everyone's teeth if they take less weapons, since the helm handle has spoken, what else is there to be embarrassed about these thieves below, and immediately divide their hands and take a shovel to scrape the pearls and jade on the wall.

In fact, the really valuable treasures in this hall have been looted by the Yuan soldiers at the beginning, and the rest of these are nothing at the time, but time goes by, and during the Republic of China, these antiquities hundreds of years ago are also treasures, including those crane-shaped copper furnaces that burn incense, as well as the gold decorations embedded in the pillars in the hall.

There were a number of leaders among the thieves, all of whom were the henchmen of the thieves and veterans of the inverted fight, and they commanded their brothers to carry the gold beads, although they were not chaotic, but they were in order.

And Chen Blind and Partridge Whistle, the two big masters, naturally could not be attracted by the things in a mere front hall, they did not stay much, and then led a large group of people and horses, whistling through the hall, straight to the back of the hall, all the way, there are dead centipedes everywhere, even if they are dead, but the number is probably more than 10,000, and everyone can see that their hearts are full of hair.

But the crowd is extraordinarily bold, swarming up, after passing through the number into the hall, it is already in the highest place of the immeasurable hall, the hall is in a cave, in front of the hall is a wide platform, there is a hollow white marble fence around, behind is the dark cyan rock in the mountain, the apse behind the main hall of the immeasurable palace is sealed, with the palace structure to infer that the apse is the position where Chen Blind went down from the crack in the mountain when he first explored the bottle mountain.

These halls have not seen the coffin of the tomb owner, it is expected that it must be in front of the Dan Palace immeasurable hall, the group of thieves remembered the rumors of the corpse king of Xiangxi, and it was inevitable that they would be chestnut in their hearts, so they put their feet full, and slowly hugged Chen Blind and Partridge Whistle to the platform in front of the palace.

I saw that there were hundreds of bloody roosters on the platform, more than 100 centipedes were fighting the remnants, there was just an arch bridge next to it, and under the bridge was a bottomless pool, there should have been a fountain gushing out before, and it flowed out of the mountain from the high through a pavilion corridor, so that the Dan Palace added the artistic conception of mountains, rivers, forests and springs, but now the spring water has long dried up, and only an empty pool is left and the black hole is trapped on the hillside in front of the palace.
