Ah Shun took out the mountain knife and was about to take Cao Guy Ji into that road, but was stopped by Linglong: "Ah Shun, don't be in a hurry." The fourth master is here, I'm afraid the road ahead is very dangerous. We'd better check the situation of the fourth master first, and don't scatter our forces anymore. ”

Brother Shunli listened to Linglong's order, so he gave up moving forward and turned his head to check on the situation of the fourth master. To tell the truth, Siye's face was like a blank sheet of paper, his breathing was sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, and no matter how we shook or shouted, there was no reaction.

"I have heard that there is a kind of magic that allows the caster to detain a person's soul, and the victim will fall asleep like a dead person. The fourth master wouldn't have been detained as well, right? Ali said.

"Then if it is really a detained soul, how can it be rescued?" Linglong asked.

"The Sprinkle family knows a friend, a fortune teller, known as a half-immortal, who knows yin and yang, and is proficient in gossip. This friend also told me about collecting souls. There seems to be a way to get the scattered souls back to life. However, the Sprinkle family didn't take it to heart at that time, and allowed the Sprinkle family to reminisce. The scholar pushed his small glasses, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then said, "Well, it seems that the soulless person is done cross-legged, the hair is pulled away, the heavenly spirit cover is exposed, and then the silver needle is pierced with it." Shouting his name while stabbing him, and shouting 'Returned' three times in each direction, the man will be able to reclaim his soul. ”

I've always thought this was nonsense, but there was no other way to do it at this time, and the trip had subverted my traditional beliefs, and now I had to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Seeing that none of us objected, the scholar asked for a hairpin from Linglong, broke off the pin on it, burned it with a lighter, opened the hair of the fourth master, and pierced it against the Tianling cover.

"Can you fucking do it? With such a hard work, even if the soul comes back after a while, the fourth master will have cerebral palsy. I stopped the scholar and said.

"Hey, I said this little comrade, didn't you see that the Sprinkle family was casting spells? You're so strong at spilling your home, it's easy to go mad. Hurry up and dodge, sprinkle your own proportions. As soon as the scholar pushed me away, the pin was pierced on the head of the fourth master, and then he kept shouting in four directions, "Long Qifan, back", which looked even funny.

I don't know if the method taught by Luo Blind to the scholar really worked, or if the fourth master was pricked by the pin, after a while, the fourth master really opened his eyes.

"Hahaha, just say it, this method is easy to use! Fourth master, it took a lot of energy to sprinkle the house for you, and when you go out, you have to invite the sprinkler family. The scholar helped the fourth master and said.

"Xia Nan, Linglong, how did you find me?" The fourth master's voice was still very weak.

We briefly talked about the ins and outs, and then asked why the fourth master came here.

The fourth master said: "The aroma I smelled when I first arrived in the underground palace should be the medium of hypnotic illusion, and at that time, all of you were hit instantly, and you couldn't wake up at all." Ah Tu and the people of the ghost clan suddenly got up and ran away, and I was worried that Ah Tu would escape alone, so I followed. It was only a little later to get to the forked passage, and I didn't see which one of them went. Then I heard something in the passage on the far right, and I entered the road. When I got here, I saw the patriarch Bai Jianghong. I was wondering why the patriarch was here, when the white patriarch turned around and disappeared. Then there was a gurgling sound behind me, and a scent rushed to the top of my head, and I thought badly, and I lost consciousness before I could turn around. When I woke up again, I saw you. ”

"Patriarch Bai? Are you seeing a hallucination or a real person? Fourth Master, you once said that when the ghost clan attacked the Holy Dragon Sect back then, the Bai patriarch fought desperately against the enemy, and then his whereabouts were unknown. Could it really be that the Bai patriarch is here? Lao Xu said.

"I don't know. The chieftain tribe is good at hypnosis and illusion, and they are not sure. I'm fine, let's get up and move on. The fourth master said.

At that time, we brought enough supplies and equipment, but all the way down, the loss of soldiers, plus the consumption and loss, now everyone has no stock left in their backpacks. Now we must find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise if we continue to drag on like this, we will starve to death if we don't need to be organized, even starvation will starve us all to death here.

Although the fourth master said that it was okay, it seemed that he was still in good spirits, and Ah Shun volunteered to be an outpost.

As we proceeded, the path was noticeably different from the way we came in, not wide, but the walls and pavement on both sides were clearly polished, and the paving ground was very smooth and smooth. There are murals on both sides of the walls, and the murals outlined by black and red lines are very abstract like children's graffiti, and we didn't understand what it meant after looking at it for a long time.

The path is twisting and turning, the path is not close, there is no mechanism along the way, but the air is obviously starting to flow, it seems that this road must lead to the outside. Everyone began to lift their spirits and pick up the pace.

After walking for about an hour, Ah Shun, who was at the head, clenched his hand and moved up first, which was a stop gesture, and everyone stopped. Ah Shun squatted down and slowly moved forward, it seemed that there should be a situation ahead. After a while, Ah Shun came back and said, "Miss, fourth master, the front is at the end of the road, and the front is very dark and you can't see clearly." ”

Linglong said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Now we can only move forward, everyone cheer up and go together! ”

Walking out of the path, it was pitch black, but there seemed to be a high platform in the distance, and there was a faint light on the high platform, and a building could be vaguely seen looming on it. Linglong asked Ah Shun to shoot a flare.

With a "bang", a flare shot out, emitting a white flame, like a small sun, extremely dazzling. Under the white light, a huge cave appeared before our eyes. The cavern is too big to describe in words. This place is definitely a natural formation, otherwise it would be difficult to build such a large cave under this ground even with modern technology. Not far away, a high platform stands in the cave, and on top of the high platform is indeed a palace-like building.

"What the hell is that?" The scholar asked.

No one answered, as everyone was shocked by the huge cavern and the looming buildings in the distance. Those who haven't been here can't understand how we feel at this time. No matter how strong, rich, powerful, or distracted, when faced with the creation of nature's miraculous creations, people will be deeply shocked in their hearts, and this huge shock can crush all the pride in anyone's heart into pieces. Here, we are as small as ants. The flares slowly went out, and we were still stunned on the spot, unable to extricate ourselves.

My mind reminisced about the appearance of the palace, and I chuckled in my heart, could this be the real underground palace and the underworld? The palace itself is not too big, but below it is a high platform more than a dozen stories high, and the high platform is densely packed with steps. I mentally estimated that the height of the palace and the high platform far exceeded the height of the stone tower outside, and it seemed that the cave here must be inside a mountain near the stone tower. All the pointing devices here are out of order, and I can only tell by instinct that it should be to the north of the stone tower.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Now that you're here, go up and have a look! "Ah Shun is still the leader.

Now we have no way back but to move forward. Walking to the high platform, the scholar kept talking: "So high? This has to climb up, and it has to cost the life of the family! Why do the chieftain tribes like to engage in this kind of construction? No matter how you look at it, it looks like an altar. Could it be that if you live in that palace, you can enjoy the sacrifices of the four directions? The evil slave society! ”

"Brother scholar, if you feel tired, you can sit here and wait for us. But I warn you, it's so weird that if you see something for a while, don't call us. Linglong smiled, and followed Ah Shun and began to climb the steps.

Seeing that we all started to climb up, the scholar shook and grabbed me: "You are the first to board the board, Mr. Xia, no one else cares about the family, you and Lao Xu are really not enough, what is the behavior of abandoning your comrades?" This has to be shelved during the Anti-Japanese War, and it has already given you two a sudden attack. Ignoring our eyes, the scholar picked up his backpack and rushed up.

Not only are there a lot of steps, but they are also very steep, and it is very difficult to climb. Linglong's backpack had already been snatched by Ali and carried on his back, but a girl is a girl after all, and the disadvantage of poor endurance began to appear, and she climbed more and more hard, just gritting her teeth and holding on. If you persist for a while, you need to take a break, so just climb for a while and rest for a while.

It took us almost half a day to climb to the top of the high platform and come to the bottom of the palace, only to find that a pair of bronze ancient lamps outside the palace gate were actually lit. The pair of lampshades was in the shape of a beast with an unspeakable name, grinning teeth, wide-eyed eyes and completely disproportionate size. The eyes and open mouth were hollowed out, and a miserable yellow light peeked out from within, illuminating a small area in front of the palace gates.

By this faint light, it is barely clear that the palace is mostly a wooden structure, and the whole is gray, with the corners of the corridor flying at the top and the columns supporting it below. A black-lacquered door was closed, and there were many carvings on the door. Lao Xu walked over, turned on the headlamp, stared at it, and said, "This should be a building in the pre-Qin era." ”

"How?" The scholar asked.

"The door is painted with a cloud pattern from the pre-Qin era. This is a kind of cloud pattern, the ancients were very surprised by the wind and rain, and gradually found that there are clouds before there is rain, and they gradually began to worship the clouds. So I started to draw moire patterns on the building in the shape of clouds. According to the different moire patterns, it is divided into the swirl pattern of the Stone Age, the cloud Leiwen of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the cirrus cloud pattern of the pre-Qin period, and the cloud pattern of the Chu and Han dynasties. Even in modern times, auspicious cloud patterns are carved in many places, implying wishful thinking and ascension. The gate is painted with a cloud pattern, which should be a representative pattern of the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

"The chieftain tribe is the Yi tribe of the Western Regions, even in the Qin and Han dynasties, it should have its own architectural and decorative characteristics, and should not appear in the architectural and decorative characteristics of the Central Plains of the Qin and Han dynasties. Could it be that this was really built by Mingtu? Linglong said.

"Since we're here, let's find out." Ah Shun said.
