Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unable to Move an Inch

Although I had never been to any serious imperial tombs before, my father and second uncle had been there, and when I was young, they often told me about stealing into the imperial tombs.

In their mouths, I know that the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty are generally very standardized, the main body of the imperial tombs becomes the upper palace, which is a symmetrical structure of the cross axis, and the entire imperial tombs are square, some have doors on all sides, and some only have doors on the front and back sides.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I stood on the Shinto path of Yashan Sea Palace and walked towards the Upper Palace, which was supposed to be directly in front of me. But after only two steps, I stopped: this place was so quiet, so quiet that it felt abnormal!

I've been alone in other operations before, but it's never been so quiet! In the huge sea palace, it seems that I am the only living thing.

After thinking about it, I decided to stay at the city gate first and wait for the seventh master and them! In this kind of place, we complement each other, they can't do without me, and I can't go far without them.

I walked back to the gate with my flashlight, opened the crack in the gate a little more, and shone out in the darkness, still not finding anyone or drifters.

If it is inferred from what happened before, the three of them should have fled immediately after encountering the water drifters, but those slow water drifters should have also come over at this time, why can't they see anything?! I sighed lightly, thinking that whether it was the Seventh Master or the Shui Piaozi, they would all come to the city gate when the time came, so I would sit here and wait for the rabbit to get it.

Leaning against a stone pillar by the gate for a while, I walked over to the statue on the Shinto side and looked at it.

The sculpture here is a group of beautiful palace maids, life-size, finely carved, smiling, eyes flowing, full of charm. This Yashan Sea Palace is really a miracle, it can hollow out a mountain in the sea water and build an imperial mausoleum in it.

While thinking about it, I reached out and gently stroked the body of the sculpture, and suddenly felt something strange at the tentacles, and gently rubbed it, and felt that it was slippery, like a water drifter I had hugged before! I hurriedly subconsciously took a step back, took a flashlight and looked up and down the sculpture, and suddenly my mouth opened wide!

Under the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see that there were countless tiny pinholes on the body of this sculpture, which were slowly seeping water droplets outside!

And the pores? Sweaty?! I smiled wryly, and my little heart pounded, for fear that this sculpture would suddenly come to life.

After standing there and looking at it for a while, I walked back to the sculpture, reached out and poked it twice, and with a "bang", the sculpture collapsed without warning!

I looked at the gravel on the ground, my face was speechless, and then I heard a "whooshing" sound of running water in my ears, I hurriedly looked to the ground, and found that the base of the sculpture was a very thin layer of plaster, through this layer of stone, I could clearly hear the sound of running water below.

How can there be running water down here? I frowned, thinking to myself, isn't there another layer underneath this, which has also been hollowed out?!

"Smack!"

I was hesitating to break this layer of stone to see what it looked like inside, when suddenly there was a noise from outside the city gate, which made me, who had used to the quiet, feel a stir!

Is it a water drifter? Or are they the Seventh Master? I hurriedly extinguished the flashlight, slowly got up from the ground, felt a piece of blood stone and stuffed it into my mouth, and tiptoed towards the city gate.

It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, and I was able to see some rough outlines. I groped my way in the darkness to the city gate, and looked out through the gap that was about three feet wide.

It was pitch black, and my eyes could make out about two meters of recognition in the dark, and I couldn't see clearly at all from any distance, so I could only listen with my ears pricked up.

Because I didn't expect it just now, I couldn't tell where the "pop" sound came from at this time. After standing by the gate and listening for a while, he finally heard a sound in the distance, which soon became the sound of hurried and heavy footsteps, and after a few breaths it became a shout!

"Hello?! What about people?! ā€

Pig?! As soon as I heard this voice, I immediately heard that it was a pig's head, hurriedly turned on the flashlight in my hand, and ran in the direction from which the sound came.

I hadn't gone far before I saw the pig's head rolling and crawling towards me, and the black pressure behind me was obviously those drifters!

"Pig's head, this way!" I had already run more than ten meters away from the city gate, shining a flashlight on the pig's head and shouting loudly.

"Good!" The pig's head rushed a few steps towards me in response, and suddenly a sudden brake shouted, "You should go too!" Behind! ā€

I was stunned for a moment, watched the pig's head turn its head and run in the other direction, swallowed my saliva, and slowly turned my head to look back.

"Mom!" I didn't know when, the countless water drifters appeared at the city gate again, and in the darkness behind me, all of them were black, and their bodies were still dripping black water on the ground, and they were all looking at me.

Why didn't the back of the head get chilled?! I hurriedly touched the back of my head, and I didn't feel a chill - aren't these things evil?!

By the way, the back of my head was cold before, because those two fast water drifters appeared not far away, and these slow, fastest water drifters with a pig's head are not evil things at all!

Thinking of this, I instantly broke out in a cold sweat, if these were not evil things, they wouldn't be afraid of me!

Sure enough, after seeing me, these drifters quickly and slowly approached me, I shouted, turned my head and ran in the direction of the pig's head, and took the dagger out and held it in my hand.

The drifters were very slow, and I quickly caught up with the pig's head, and found that by this time he had already shaken off the drifters who were chasing him, and was standing by the underground river snorting and panting.

"Hey!" I also ran for a few minutes, panting and looking at the pig's head: "What about those drifters?" ā€

"No, I don't know!" The pig's fat face was already flushed: "I—I don't know when I found out when they were gone......"

"Oh!" I answered, straightened up, and said with a wry smile: "You are also a master, why do you run so slowly?" Those drifters aren't as fast as I am! ā€

"Nonsense!" The pig's head raised his eyes and frowned and glared at me: "You don't know that I still have a wound on my buttocks?" It's not growing well at all now, so it's good that I can run! ā€

"Haha......" I laughed: "Yes! Forget your ass got four big holes! By the way, you didn't see the Seventh Master on the way in? ā€

"Nope." The pig's head almost gasped, lit the flashlight in his hand, shook his head and said, "As soon as I came in, I came along the underground river, and after walking for a long time, I came across these drifters, and then I saw you." What about the Seventh Master? ā€

"A few hours ago, I got lost with them." I smiled wryly: "Not far in front is the imperial mausoleum of Yashan Sea Palace, but now the city gate is already crowded with black water drifts, and we can't rush over at all." So much, even if we kill one by one, we will also be exhausted. ā€

"This place looks empty, and there should be nothing to hide outside of the emperor's mausoleum you mentioned." The pig's head frowned and said, "Where will they go to the seventh master?" ā€

I glanced at the pig's head and asked coldly: "Don't talk about the Seventh Master first, let's talk about you first, why did you suddenly disappear under the water?" Suddenly it popped up again, where did it go? ā€

"Me?" The pig's face was stunned: "Oh, didn't I see the water drifters under the water, I was timid and small, and I accidentally broke the rope in a panic, no way, I hid on the side for a while, and when those water drifters disappeared, I hurriedly got on the boat again, I didn't expect you to be gone, I waited on it all night, and when I woke up, I didn't see you come back, so I went into the water again to find it." ā€

It was quite slippery, I smiled secretly, thinking that this must be a statement that I had thought of a long time ago, and I had memorized it many times in my heart before I could say it so slippery at this time.

"Oh." I nodded, and then asked, "I've been thinking about a question since this operation. ā€

"What's the problem?" The pig's head observed the surroundings and simply sat on the ground and looked at me.

"After this operation, we will get the Red Sky Sword." I said, "After we get the Chixiao Sword, we will have collected all six Han armors. But the problem then comes, now five Han armors are in our hands, and the other Han armor is in the hands of Xu Zeming, between Liang Dong and Xu Zeming, how do we choose? ā€

Hearing me ask, the pig head was stunned, and then replied very simply: "I listen to the seventh master." ā€
