Volume VIII, Chapter 50: The Altar

The bamboo forest rustles, and the morning mist turns into dewdrops, dripping from the pointed leaves. I looked around and found no graves, so I asked, "Where is that old woman?" Yaya and I wanted to go and worship first. ”

Although the old man and we are not related, after more than an hour of getting along, we have also developed a little affection.

Mo Yiyuan sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "I can't!" Last night, a helicopter had come to remove her body. ”

I was silent.

Although this result was also expected

, but the sour heart is a little uncomfortable.

After a long time, I asked, "What kind of place is the Hidden Cloud Palace?" ”

Since I want to go to this place, I think I have to understand this place first, and only by knowing it first can I change it.

"I don't really know. Judging from the messages left by those who came before us, some say that this is the place that leads to hell, while others say that this place is not in our world. Nor is there a definite statement. But I knew it was nearby, and the entrance ...... "He looked northwest, and there was a mountain, a mountain that was not very large, but full of strange rocks!"

This is where I came out of the ground!

Don't...... Is the entrance to the Hidden Cloud inside that underground cave?

Sure enough, Mo Yiyuan pointed to the cave I came out of and said, "Just enter from that place." Last night, I searched for a long, long time to find this place. Although it is said that the electromagnetic waves came from the swamp, there was no way to go down to that place, so I had to look for other places. Finally found here. ”

"Wait!" In front of the cave, looking at Mo Yiyuan, who was in the lead, I suddenly remembered a question and said, "If this electromagnetic wave really leaked out of the Hidden Cloud Palace, and there is more than one place for this leakage." If the radio stations we talked about before are the entrances and exits of the Hidden Cloud Palace, and these radio stations are all over the world, how big is this Hidden Cloud Palace? Could it really be another world? ”

He was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking about this problem.

I continued, "If it really has a world of its own, will the people who have entered before stay in that world and never come back? ”

Actually, it's not my concern, it's whether we can go back to this world after we go in now.

I'm selfish, I've never been so selfish, because I want Yaya and I to come back.

"Maybe it's really staying inside." He was visibly anxious, tightened his backpack, turned on his headlamp, and walked inside.

Yaya and I followed him closely.

Looking at this familiar place, my heart is very uncomfortable. As for why this idea came about, I don't know very well.

The smooth slate on the ground, the smell of earth in the air, all exudes a hint of weirdness.

As I walked through the stone chamber where the giant dings were kept, my nervous mood immediately turned into doubt.

The radioactive material that had been placed in the stone chamber was all gone. The brilliant light was completely gone, leaving only a strange giant dome in the stone chamber.

And the disappeared man!

When I walked through this stone chamber last night, there was a man here.

And now, with the headlights swept away, there was nothing but the slick floor.

There's a wackiness here! It is impossible for a dead person to disappear for no reason! In the same way, radioactive materials with powerful energy cannot disappear for no reason.

I paused and voiced my doubts.

I'm really careful now, I don't want any surprises, so I won't let go of any suspicions.

"Zhuo," the maid pondered, walking back and forth beside me, "you say, after you're gone, will there have been other people here?" Did they get rid of the body? The dead man is their companion. At the same time, I don't know what the reason is, they also took those radioactive materials. ”

"If that's the case, then I think this is the best ending," Mo Yiyuan's gaze looked deep into the depths and muttered, "I'm just worried about whether the disappearance of those radioactive materials will have anything to do with the opening of the Hidden Cloud Palace." If there were people here last night, who would they be? ”

There is nothing dangerous about this place as I have already walked it. In order to save time, we still discussed as we walked.

"Could it be Ah Xue, she has already been here?" I was silent for a few moments before I came up with this somewhat serious problem.

If Ah Xue really came here before us, it would most likely mean that she had entered the Hidden Cloud Palace!

Hearing this, Mo Yiyuan immediately trembled!

And I habitually sniffed.

However, human odors do not remain in the air for too long, and the atmosphere has the ability to purify itself. I couldn't smell anything but the smell of rocks and earth.

"Is this really possible...... Yaya said thoughtfully, "Zhuo, you said that when you tracked Ah Xue last night, she had already appeared in the swamp, and after such a long time, she might have really gone in." Don't forget, she knows this place, even if she has amnesia now, but with her feelings, it is not difficult to find the Hidden Cloud Palace. ”

Originally, we planned to stop Ah Xue outside the Hidden Cloud Palace and ask her not to go in, but looking at the way it looks now, this idea is obviously impossible.

Mo Yiyuan didn't say anything, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the night!

"Hey! Be careful! The girl shouted at his back, "Here, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to get into trouble." ”

In the distance, Mo Yiyuan snorted coldly: "You are tender and sweet here, Wu Nong softly, you have long forgotten your friends, of course you won't be anxious." ”

"I ...... That's not what I meant......" Yaya wanted to explain, but the more she explained, the more unclear she became.

Soon, the light of Mo Yiyuan's headlamp completely disappeared into the dark tomb tunnel.

Yaya looked back at me and said with some grievances: "Zhuo, let's ...... Are we being too selfish? ”

"Nope!" I caressed her green silk with pity, and said softly, "If you can't even protect yourself, then what qualifications do you have to save others?" ”

"Hmmm! It seems to be the truth, but I still feel very uncomfortable......"

"If you care, you're messy!" I said, "Mo Yiyuan, he just cares too much about Ah Xue, don't mind what he says!" He's not really that kind of person......

"That'...... Do we want to continue looking for Ayuki? When she said this, her eyes sparkled at me.

I knew she didn't want to come and didn't want me to come because it was too dangerous.

But for the sake of my somewhat ridiculous insistence, she came anyway. I was very ashamed in my heart, and I felt very sorry for her.

"Of course you have to look for it!" I said softly, "But we have to be careful, we can't be as reckless as him!" ”

"Good ......"

I haven't entered the Hidden Cloud Palace yet, so there shouldn't be too much danger, so I don't worry too much about Mo Yiyuan.

As in the last scene, after coming out of the stone chamber where the giant dings were placed, I passed through a not very long passage and came to the cave full of jars.

From here, it seems that there are many forks in the cave, but those are not forks, but stone chambers that are directly connected to the cave. In each stone chamber, there are a large number of jars.

Last night, when I was looking for a way out, I walked through all the stone chambers.

So, I'm going to have to walk to the grave full of figurines now. The Hidden Cloud Palace may be at the end of the tomb road.

Other than that, I can't think of any other place in this underground space that I haven't been. It's not very big here, it's really not big. It's nowhere near the size of a wormhole!

The further you go inside, the more humid the air becomes. I think I'm already at the bottom of the swamp.

Under the snow-white light, the light and shadow on the figurines kept changing with the change of our position, and the figurines looked as if they were about to come to life.

Add to that the darkness and dampness here, and an eerie feeling comes over you.

Yaya couldn't help but shudder, grabbed my hand tightly, and said cautiously: "Zhuo ...... Why do I think, why are these figurines so weird? ”

Seeing her nervous and scared appearance, he rubbed her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "There is no human appearance at all?" How not to blame? I can't figure out whether this Hidden Cloud Palace is a place created by humans or ghosts! ”

Yaya timidly looked at the figurines that were constantly extending in the dark, and suddenly said softly, "Huh", and said, "Zhuo, why do I think these people are so strange?" ”

"Huh? You seem to have said that earlier. ”

"Oops! I didn't mean that! She suddenly let go of my hand, walked up to a figurine, and looked at it carefully, and then she said, "This carving does not seem to be a human, but a ...... It's robots...... You see, the lines on this are craft lines, not human clothes. ”

I froze instantly!

Before, I only thought that these carvers had a peculiar aesthetic, and I never thought that these figurines were not human!

As soon as Yaya said this, I suddenly realized that those boxy shapes are actually the simplification of robots.

And habitual thinking has always made me think that this is just an ordinary tomb, like the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty that I entered in Inner Mongolia.

Now, it seems, apparently that is not the case.

The danger in this is far beyond the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.

No matter how mysterious the ancient tomb is, the scientific and technological power is limited, and this ...... It's not the same as the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.

Before I knew it, my palms were full of sweat.

We have to be more careful.

But if there is any earth-shaking mechanism here, I will not believe anything.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and the maid and I quickened our pace and walked deeper into the graveyard.

And at this moment, a snowy light suddenly flashed in front of him!

Yaya and I were taken aback and hurriedly hid behind a "figurine".

When you don't know the situation, the best thing to do is to hide yourself first.

The light got closer and closer, and finally appeared in front of me and Yaya, in the white light, a familiar figure!

Mo Yiyuan!

"How did you get back?" Yaya asked.

"Ahead, there's no way out......" For some reason, his voice suddenly became hoarse.

I frowned slightly and asked, "Over there...... What's going on? ”

He straightened the bandages on his face slightly, and said, "It's a little troublesome, I'm a little injured, but it's not a big deal."

Of course, the injury is not the key, the key is that the cemetery is over, it is a dead end! ”

"Dead end? How could it be...... "I can't believe it, there is only one passage in this place, and I have always thought that this tomb passage leads to the Hidden Cloud Palace. And now, Mo Yiyuan told me that this is a dead end.

Looking at the bandages and band-aids on his face, I don't know why, I think it's a little weird, but what is weird, I can't say for the time being.

"No way?" The maid hesitated, "Then how do we go to the Hidden Cloud Palace now?" ”

"I know a way to do it." Mo Yiyuan's eyes looked at Yaya motionlessly, his eyes were very pure, but he seemed to be hiding something, he said, "But this method needs to take a lot of risks?" ”

"Do you know how to get in?" Yaya asked in surprise.

I looked at Mo Yiyuan, and my heart was suddenly not very comfortable. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows slightly, but I still hid this change in mood well.

"Hmmm! From the notes of the predecessors. I know the method. He continued, "It's from ...... Those jars outside ......"

"The jars?" Yaya said, "But I also saw it just now, there is nothing unusual about those altars?" ”

"If it's so easy to be seen, then it's not the Hidden Cloud Palace."

What he said, it seems to make a lot of sense.

"Zhuo...... Then let's go check it out. The girl took my arm and said softly.

I nodded, and the three of them went back to the cave full of jars.

Mo Yiyuan said again: "It is said that the way to enter the Hidden Cloud Palace is in these altars. Of course, I've only heard that I don't know if I can actually get in. Let's find out. Gotta hurry or ...... I really can't imagine what kind of danger Ah Xue will encounter......"

His throat, which seemed to have been injured just now, was hoarse, showing no signs of improvement.

So saying, he went to move the jars, as if he were really looking for something in them.

The sound of ping-pong kept ringing.

However, these jars were also unexpectedly strong, and none of them were broken in Mo Yiyuan's rummaging. It feels like these jars are not made of ceramic, but made of cast iron!

Seeing this, Yaya also became interested, and said excitedly: "Could it be true that someone will write down the method of entering the Hidden Cloud Palace on a small note, and finally hide it in these jars?" ”

"Hmmm! There is this possibility, no matter what, let's look for it first! As I spoke, I turned over the jar on the ground with my hands, but my eyes looked at Yaya, and at the same time kept my distance from her within two meters!

At this distance, I can protect her very well no matter what happens.

I want to see what the other party is trying to do!
