The world is like chess, always in unrelated places, hidden in a thousand threads.

Sideways step car, probably for the purpose of erecting guns. Arch a step, probably for Pegasus...... Jiang Xian never expected that the next place would be associated with Shenzhou. He looked at Song Yunshen deeply for a long time before nodding: "Okay." ”

"Just waiting for your words." Song Yun breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Take a good rest first, and I will also prepare the materials." The parties to the "Ground Burial Sutra" are not easy to find now. ”

He helped Jiang Xian cover the quilt and walked out of the room.

Jiang Xian rested for a long time, the injuries on his body were fine, and the shot in the stomach almost killed him.

Lin Ruoxue came every day, and she was not late for a day. Jiang Xian asked him to help adopt the son of Hong Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat, and after looking at the information, he was only fourteen years old and a boy.

He sent a sum of money to the past, not much, just 10,000. Although this money is a drop in the bucket for him, but Hong Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat died because of him, what he has to do is not only to raise each other, but also to treat them as his own.

But he didn't go to see the other party, first, his body didn't allow it, and second, he ...... He didn't think about what attitude, what identity, what language to use to face this young man. How can I say it...... The other party's parents died because of him.

"They've already washed their hands...... he sighed as he closed the papers.

Lin Ruoxue didn't interject, sometimes, she was domineering like a queen. And sometimes, she knows very well when a man needs to be quiet.

She gently peeled an apple and handed it to Jiang Xian: "It's all over." ”

Jiang Xian took it and took a bite gently. The apple was a little sour, and he felt a pinprick in his masseter muscles. The feeling was like a snake, drilling from the muscles to the heart. After a long time, he sighed: "Yes...... It's all gone......"

If the next clue doesn't yet crack his curse, then ...... He'll keep looking.

During this period, he will also look for some famous people to help. Maybe...... will also find two big names who have been washing their hands for more than ten years. He will offer the most lucrative terms, but still live and die at his own expense.

Grief can be had, but it cannot be indulged. Only by moving forward can he hope to break the curse of 2,000 years.

"I told my grandfather." Lin Ruoxue gently helped him wipe his hands: "If you still want to go to the ground, I will be together." ”

"Nope." Jiang Xian didn't think about it, and said directly.

"I can't help you." Obviously saying domineering words, Lin Ruoxue smiled. She smiled beautifully, like an epiphany blooming in an instant. Secluded and bright.

"You've never been on the ground."

"I can learn and be obedient. Wu Sandao may not be my opponent. Lin Ruoxue saw that the other party was still talking, pinched the other party's two lips, and said with a smile: "My family has a long history, and I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. If I don't qualify, how many others are qualified? ”

Jiang Xian was about to say something, Lin Ruoxue shook her head, her voice faded, and she said calmly: "I know, you want to say danger." Of course I know the dangers, but ...... If you die there, I can at least help you collect the body. Or would you rather believe someone else than me? ”

She stood up, raised an eyebrow, and said, "It's decided." By the way, you will be discharged from the hospital in a maximum of a week. Mr. Song had already gone directly to Dengzhou. Various supplies were also transported yesterday. Lying on the hospital bed, you don't have the right to direct the exploration team. ”

Boom...... When the door closed, Jiang Xian didn't know how many times he sighed.

The more you owe favors, the more you owe them, the more you owe them...... He simply covered himself with a quilt and arched around like maggots. Why is this happening?

Obviously, when Lin Ruoxue said that he wanted to accompany the bed, he should have refused...... Although refusing is useless, it is better than the increasingly ambiguous behavior of the two now......

Lin Ruoxue is definitely the kind of woman who makes his heart beat at a glance, her family background is right, and Lang has a concubine, if it is not a damn curse...... But others didn't mind, and they plunged in.

You live, I'll be with you.

If you die, I'll collect your body.

"This special ......" After more than ten seconds, he showed his head and sighed for the third time: "It's the hardest thing to accept the grace of a beauty...... That's what it means......"

…………………………

A week later, Jiang Xian was discharged from the hospital on time, and his whole body had recovered to its best condition. It's just that more than a month of bed rest still makes his muscles a little loose. His bones ached, but apparently he didn't have time to exercise again, and when he was just out of the hospital, a car sent him directly to the airport, and by the way, a ticket to Wancheng was attached.

There is no airport in Dengzhou City, and administratively it belongs to Wancheng Administration...... In the first class cabin of the plane, Jiang Xian read the information of Dengzhou City, as well as the information of 003 - of course, what was given was only superficial, and some things would never even appear literally.

Just when Jiang Xian just glanced at it a few times, his eyebrows raised slightly. He was keenly aware of ...... Dengzhou City actually has an archaeological bureau!

Archaeological bureaus are generally located in ancient cities that are hundreds of years old, or where important historical events have taken place in ancient times, or where some major power has been capitalized. Wancheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is not surprising that there is an archaeological bureau. But the administration of Dengzhou belongs to Wancheng, and there is also an archaeological bureau?

Moreover, this archaeological bureau is still at the same level as Wancheng. Otherwise, it's the Institute of Archaeology.

Finally, the location of this archaeological institute is particularly remote. It is not in the urban area of Dengzhou City, but in a place called Zhangcun Town in the southwest.

"It's kind of interesting." He pushed his sunglasses and sorted out the geography of Dengzhou City. Subsequently, the kraft paper bag No. 003 was opened.

As soon as he opened it, his gaze became solemn. Because, inside is a picture. The photograph shows an insect that has never been seen before, and the notation below reads: Unnamed, New Species: A-12.

A-12…… Does it mean that there is still A00-A11 in front...... Jiang Xian looked at it solemnly, he knew very well that because of geographical changes, once there was an underground world or an island or lake independent of the world, it was likely that some ...... would appear Something unimaginable.

The First Emperor's Underground Palace is like that, but the things there are not the most terrifying. After all, roughly calculated, there are only mutated lampreys, gentlemen's emperor gibbons, bats, glowing plants, and giant black snakes.

These things crudely and simply form a food chain, and such an ecological relationship is very fragile, and if one link collapses, the whole chain will collapse. But...... If dozens of organisms appear in a natural or unnatural environment, what ...... The result will be completely different!

Quite possibly...... Giving birth to monsters that no one can imagine. Just like Socotra.

He looked carefully at the photograph in his hand, which was an insect with a slender tail, somewhat resembling a mosquito, but no mouthparts were visible. It's pitch black throughout. On the attached information card, it is clearly written: They live in caves and become transparent when exposed to sunlight. The mouthparts are hidden in the elongated abdomen. They live by sucking blood, and once they are full, their abdomen will expand more than 100 times. And become unable to fly. Solitary creatures.

"A form that has never been seen before...... And...... Living in a cave, where does it get its blood to draw? Jiang Xian frowned and continued to read.

Next, there is a creature like a silkworm. It's horribly big! It is marked with a size of two meters. There is a row of blood-red eyes on his side and sharp mouthparts. Lying on a giant spider's web.

“A-07…… It grows in the dark, is afraid of bright light, and can secrete spider silk-like products. Nothing eats ......"

The more he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed. I don't know what the situation is in Dengzhou, but a dozen photos are down...... All living things have one characteristic.

Omnivorous!

"Exactly...... It's nothing. He closed his eyes and muttered, "This can only happen under extremely sinister circumstances...... According to the autopsy report, there are almost no extra organs left on the bodies of these creatures. All organs serve only one purpose......"

He opened his eyes and looked out the window at the bright clouds, but did not say those three words.

Stay alive.

What kind of terrifying environment can grow such creatures just to survive?

They...... How and thirsty are you? Can you survive to this day?

Although he has not yet set foot in Dengzhou, a strong sense of crisis has appeared in the bottom of his heart.

Where to go this time...... I'm afraid it's not that easy!

………………………………

More than an hour later, the plane landed at Wancheng Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, someone from Shenzhou picked him up in the car and drove all the way to Dengzhou.

Soon, the car drove into Dengzhou City. As part of Wancheng, an important city in Yuzhou Province, Dengzhou City is also thriving. But no one had time to look at this, and the car drove all the way out of the main city and drove directly towards Zhangcun Town.

Even the road into the village is a standard national highway. It's already eight o'clock, and the street lights on both sides of the national highway are already on. However, the lights of the villages and towns are not too bright, and with the houses separated by 100 meters, the dark night sky is as if walking on Huangquan Road.

As it slowly entered the heart of Zhangcun Town, the giant beast called Darkness slowly lifted the corner of its clothes, revealing a continuous light below-it was the exploration team that arrived in advance, more than a dozen tents stood on the ground, Jiang Xian was taken all the way to the most central tent, and the car stopped.

"Mr. Jiang, you've finally arrived." It was Song Yunshen who opened the tent door and came out, and he held Jiang Xian's hand deeply: "It's good to arrive...... It's good to arrive. Come, let me introduce you. ”

The tent was brightly lit, and it was already January, and it was as warm as spring inside. Soft sofas, black carpets, if not tents on all sides. You won't even feel any discomfort.

Pay attention to this kind of thing, which is engraved in the bones.

Right next to the desk, sat two old men. All very skinny and dressed rather ordinarily. One has a Chinese face, the other has a slender face, and has some beard. Song Yunshen nodded at the two old men, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is Mr. Jiang." The discoverer of the First Emperor's Underground Palace. It was he who broke through the entire underground palace of the First Emperor. ”

Brush...... The two old men themselves didn't seem to have much energy, and when they heard this, they finally raised their heads and looked at Jiang Xian. But after a few seconds, Qi Qi withdrew his gaze.

"The First Emperor's Underground Palace...... I looked at ......" An old man looked at the top of the tent and said quietly, "It's so good...... Really ......"

"It's all organs, and you can get out of there...... Really powerful......"

"But it's different here!" His voice trembled, and he didn't ...... Even his body trembled: "There's something down here...... There's definitely something down here! I'm not lying! No lie!! ”

"Here's ...... It's the underworld! There is no trap!! It's only weird that you can't imagine!! ”

His voice became more and more poignant, and immediately, two people rushed in from outside the tent, pressed each other, and fed a bottle of medicine.

"The survivor of No. 003 has always had a bit of a problem with his brain since he came out. It is said that he received a great mental impact. Song Yunshen whispered to Jiang Xian and tapped his temples with his fingers: "I need to take tranquilizers often, and I wasted a lot of effort to get him out of the sanatorium." Just arrived in Dengzhou...... No, as soon as he arrived in Zhangcun Town, his condition was getting worse and worse. Always say something inexplicable. ”

Jiang Xian put down his backpack and said lightly: "Oh? Say what? ”

"There are ghosts." Song Yunshen's voice was even lower: "He said...... Below is the Netherworld, where there are countless ghosts, waiting for people to enter. ”
