CHAPTER XXXVIII

In the second half of the night, Zhang Xianquan, who was hanging from a tree, finally couldn't stay up, only felt tinnitus and his brain swelled, and his eyes were in pain.

Although his mouth was gagged, he could still whimper, and he had already cried unhumanly.

Seeing this, the killer who kept vigil in the second half of the night was afraid that he would make everyone sleep, especially the chief master, if he provoked her, there would be no good fruit to eat.

I saw the killer Xu Qiang come forward with a black face, and the next moment he knocked the person unconscious.

Now, at last, it's quiet.

Xu Qiang plucked out his ears, stroked someone's swollen face twice, and then walked back to the fire to keep vigil.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xianquan, who was hanging, was finally put down.

I saw Wang Haiyang step forward and wake him up while hitting him in the face.

Zhang Xianquan was in pain, tears flowed, and he was awake in an instant.

One of his subordinates pulled the stinky stockings in his mouth, smiled and gnawed on the ripe wild fruits, and asked, "It's not easy to stay up all night." ”

At this time, Zhang Xianquan had already remorseed, why was he obsessed with ghosts and stalking this group of thieves!?

He cried and begged for mercy: "Woman, woman! The little one is wrong, the little one shouldn't listen to Wang Dajin's words, and follow you and the woman all the way......"

"It's Wang Dajin! Wang Dajin said that he had taken a fancy to the woman, and after burying the old lady, he would take the woman away. ”

"This has nothing to do with the little one, and I asked the woman to spare the life of the little one, and the little one has a family to feed......

Ke Congxi said unhurriedly: "I know what you are going to do, but I want to punish you." ”

"As for whether or not I will let you go, we have to see what value you have."

This Zhang Xianquan is a native of the southeast sea, and he must have a certain degree of familiarity with the tomb islands.

Those who come from other places naturally have to inquire about the news.

I saw Zhang Xianquan kneeling on the ground: "I said, I said." ”

"In our area, we are most interested in burials on the island, and most of the tombs have a lot of burial goods."

"My lord came to the island this time, not only to bury the old lady, but also to ......"

Seeing Zhang Xianquan swallowing, he had a cold face: "What else!?" ”

Zhang Xianquan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Also, my master is going to the undersea palace to find treasures!" ”

In a word, everyone was alert.

Congsi and Mu Wei exchanged glances with each other, and instantly understood each other's meaning.

Then, he took out a dagger from the silk and scraped the other party's neck without a moment: "You really open your eyes and tell nonsense, there will be an underwater palace on this island?" Don't look at this place either! Birds don't! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianquan became more and more panicked: "It's true!" I don't lie to you! My lord also has a map of the underwater palace, which I have secretly seen. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can search me, so I secretly rubbed it down, and I thought that when the time came, we would go down to the underwater palace together, and when people were not paying attention, I slipped away alone to hunt for treasures, who knows...... I was caught by you. ”

Hearing this, Congsi was a little surprised, and immediately searched his body, and sure enough, in the hidden pocket of his clothes, he found a brand new map.

Mu Wei and the others also leaned over to look, and after a long time, he said: "According to the picture, it says that the Underwater Palace is in the northwest direction of this island. ”

Yesterday they thought that the real underwater palace was under the main volcano, but now a map comparison shows that it is very different.

Congsi pursed her lips slightly: "This is completely different from what we deduced yesterday, the northwest direction of this island is a flat place close to the sea. ”

"Theoretically, the 'undersea palace' should be built below the surface of the sea."

"But I think this seems to be a bit too obvious, and although it is also a place in the shade of the mountain, I don't know if it is the land of water and yang."

Hearing this, Mu Wei nodded: "The little landlord's study of feng shui still has a certain depth. ”

Looking at the actions of Congsi and the others, in an instant, Zhang Xianquan understood that the group of people in front of him also came to find the Underwater Palace, and they had just deceived him.

Zhang Xianquan was angry: "You shameless villains, you lie to me again!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Haiyang slapped him again: "Shut up, noisy." ”

At this moment, Zhang Xianquan's entire face was swollen, and he couldn't even speak.

Wang Haiyang looked at Congsi and asked, "Master, what should I do with this guy." ”

Congsi looked at Zhang Xianquan, who was beaten into a pig's head, and said coldly: "Let go to the west." ”

This kind of person can betray his master and harbor a ghost, and for them, it is harmful to keep it, so it is better to end his life early and reduce trouble.

Hearing this, Zhang Haiyang understood, and immediately gave the two subordinates behind him a look.

I saw that after the two subordinates plugged Zhang Xianquan's mouth again, they dragged it away mercilessly and solved it.

On the spot, he took the map from Silk and told everyone to pack up their equipment and prepare to go.

The palace under the sea, she must go.

……

When everyone arrived near the main volcano, they saw that the volcano in front of them was very wide and thick, and it was estimated that it was at least twenty or thirty kilometers in range, and it was 100 meters high.

From the gap in the volcano, the trees grow all the way to the base of the mountain, and then slowly extend into the distance.

At the foot of the hill are two rivers of unknown origin, winding into a small lake not far away.

When flowing across the river, Mu Wei bent down and squatted down and picked up a mouthful of river water.

"This water is a little salty, I don't know if it is mixed with seawater, or because it is mixed with minerals accumulated by volcanoes for tens of thousands of years under the ground of its origin."

Hearing this, Congsi also took a sip of water and drank it, she pursed her lips: "It seems that this volcano really has to be explored." ”

Without much analysis, everyone climbed up to the crater one by one with their bags and the guys who went to the grave.

Stand in the crater and look into the depths.

The entire volcanic cone, which has sunken for tens of meters, has become a basin with a gentle slope, in which a green tree grows.

It's just that in the middle of the basin, there is a rather large black hole exposed, and it can be seen that it was once a channel for lava eruptions.

The crowd went to the lava passage of the crater and took a closer look.

"These solidified lavas have been formed for too long to be judged, but the only thing that is certain is that there has not been another lava eruption here for at least a thousand years." Mu Wei squatted beside the entrance of the cave, knocking and stroking at the same time.

"Look over here." Said from the silk.

I saw her remove the weeds on the side and expose the ground.

Although the appearance and color of the ground in the basin and the ground when it was just downhill may seem the same, if you look closely, you will find that the ground in the basin has been severely damaged.

Although it has been restored for hundreds of years, it is still different.

It's like the difference between living and dead soil, and an experienced person will notice it when he sees it.

Mu Wei said: "It seems that seven hundred years ago, major projects were indeed carried out here, such as the Underwater Palace. ”

But Congsi was still very puzzled: "But this is a volcano, even if it is dead, I believe that there will still be lava under the ground." ”

"So how did they get the Underwater Palace to be built under the volcano, or even deeper?"

Mu Wei shook his head and frowned: "I don't understand either." ”

It is difficult to explain with existing theories, or even impossible to explain at all.

The wisdom of our ancestors seems to be forever endless, and while they continue to conquer nature, they are constantly creating new doctrines.

Unfortunately, to this day, it has long been lost.

And these descendants are just beginners who pick up people's teeth, and their brains are increasingly unable to keep up with the distant times.
