Chapter 2147 Targeted Killing

The old patriarch Enkuan blamed Zhao Shucheng and others for the pain of losing his son, but when he saw the clan members who suffered heavy casualties and the ruthless people who were chasing him, he felt extremely sad for a while.

Especially hearing the tribesmen's last wish to take them home before they died made Enkuan even more ashamed.

So when the tribesmen came to the other side of the cliff, Enkuan did not choose to follow them. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the cave holding the explosives.

While waiting for the evil men to approach, Enkuan lit the fuse without hesitation, blowing up the entrance of the cave and perishing together with the evil men who were chasing him.

The way home for the people of Zhelong Village was cut off, and the clan leader and the originally appointed young clan leader were also gone. Everyone was a little confused for a while.

Zhalong was ready to take advantage of the treasures in King Xian's tomb, but he knew that he had little prestige in the village. If he wanted to fight against Zhao Shucheng and the others, he would need the help of his tribe.

It happens that there is a more suitable candidate here, and that is Ada. He is kind and upright, and with his superb marksmanship, he has a high prestige in the village, and now he is the best person to lead the tribe.

"Ada, we can't go back the way we came. The clan leader and Ziva died here because of those foreigners. We can't give up and must catch them."

Ada looked at the remaining tribesmen and said: "Zhalong, many of us have died so far. Do we still need to continue chasing those foreigners? Why don't we go back to the village now?"

The remaining clan members of Zhelong Village also agreed and agreed to return to the village now to avoid further damage.

Seeing this situation, Zha Long knew that it was unrealistic for his tribe to continue chasing Zhao Shucheng and the others, but he did not want to return the same way. He has long been thinking about the treasures in the Worm Valley, but he did not take action because of the Enkuan clan leader. Now that Enkuan and Ziva are finally dead, these treasures are completely within easy reach. It would be a pity to give up like this.

"Ada, I also know that everyone is tired and scared, but can we go back by ourselves? You have also seen the dangers along the way. Now there is no way back. On the contrary, there are only four foreigners in total. Personally, there was no damage along the way. It is not safe for us to go back by ourselves, it is safer to follow their footsteps. "

After hearing this, Ada thought for a moment and thought that this might not be a good idea. At least the group of people were together and could take care of each other.

Zhao Shucheng and the others were still at the bottom of the cliff at this moment. After searching for a long time, they found no other entrance to the underground palace. At this time, Ada and the tribesmen from Zhelong Village had arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

"Brother Hu, Brother Zhao!"

When Hu Bayi and others saw the people from Zhelong Village coming to the bottom of the cliff, they suddenly became wary and said, "Why did you come down?"

"Our clan leader blew up the entrance to the cave and we can't go back the way we came, so I want to see if you have any other ways to leave."

"It's hard to tell now. We are here to look for life-saving medicine." Hu Bayi said and asked Wang Kaixuan to show the red spots on his back.

After the people in Zhelong Village saw it, they laughed one after another and even showed off the red spots on their bodies. Although they look somewhat similar, there are still big differences if you look closely. Fatty Wang directly exposed it, saying that the red spots on these tribesmen's bodies were eczema caused by not bathing for many years, which was completely different from theirs.

At this time, there was still some light at the bottom of the cliff, but suddenly it became a little dark. After everyone looked up, they discovered that the celestial phenomena in the sky had changed.

Ordinary cloudy days just block the sun, but the celestial phenomena at this moment are different. The heavy black clouds continued to extend downward like a tornado. The bottom of the valley was originally dark, but at this moment it seemed to be full of gloom, and it was as if everyone was already in a dark underground palace.

"Brother Hu, what's going on? Is it because you have offended the mountain god?"

Hu Bayi said: "This kind of celestial phenomenon has been recorded in ancient Feng Shui books. The black air between the sky and the Han Dynasty is connected, which is called the black pig crossing the Tianhe River. In the secret art of the sky, this is called the rain Hou breaking the mirror. Don't worry, everyone. This is just a normal weather change, it may rain heavily in a while.”

However, Zhao Shucheng knew that Hu Bayi did not tell the truth. It seemed to be a normal phenomenon, but in fact, this situation rarely happened. It is said in "Qingzhu Earth Qi Lun" that if a black pig crosses a river, there must be an ancient corpse causing trouble in this place. Therefore, the corpse Qi will change from yin to yang, blocking the sun, moon and stars.

So when everyone dispersed to rest, Zhao Shucheng asked Hu Bayi if he also felt that there was danger in the underground palace. Hu Bayi then explained the meaning of the celestial phenomena and asked everyone to be careful. The reason why he didn't say anything just now was because he was worried that everyone would panic, especially the people in Zhelong Village.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Old Hu, actually you don't need to be so nervous. Although rainy weather is rare, it is not unheard of. It can even be encountered frequently on specific terrains and at specific times."

"The Tomb of King Xian is right here, and we were just looking for the entrance, but it happened to be a rare celestial phenomenon. It does not necessarily mean danger, but it means that we came at the right time."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the vision in the sky and the deep pool, and said: "King Xian built the underground palace here. Originally, I was surprised how they built the underground palace under the deep pool before. After all, we searched around and found nothing. The entrance to the underground palace, but if King Xian and others relied on diving to build it, it would have been impossible in those days. "

"But now that I have seen Yuhou passing through, it makes sense. King Xian must have changed the layout of the ground here at that time, causing such anomalies to occur regularly here, thus exposing the bottom of the cliff to facilitate construction. . And because this place is so inaccessible, not many people have seen the rain passing by, so they feel that such a celestial phenomenon is rare in a century.”

Just as he was talking, he saw the black clouds that had been gradually suppressing suddenly touch the water surface. Like a dragon sucking water, it drew out a lot of water from the deep pool, gradually revealing the entrance to the underground palace.

Before entering the deep pool, Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi taught the people in Zhelong Village how to use submachine guns and revolvers correctly, and how to protect themselves when encountering monsters, so as to prevent everyone from losing their lives in danger. It was also thanks to the people from Zhelong Village that they found submachine guns from the crashed plane when they were chasing Zhao Shucheng and the others, and brought them over, otherwise they might not be able to meet their needs.

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng and the others were about to enter the underground palace, Ada said worriedly: "Brother Hu, you really don't need us to follow you into the underground palace?"

"No need, the situation inside is dangerous and unpredictable. We are going here to survive, so you should not take risks with us. If everything goes well, we will leave here with you after we come out. If not..."

Zhao Shucheng stopped Hu Bayi from continuing and said, "Old Hu, don't say this nonsense. We will come back safely, don't worry!" After saying that, Zhao Shucheng entered the deep pool first. Hu Bayi smiled and saw On the other hand, Zhalong was worried, reminding Ada to beware of Zhalong. The group of people followed the slippery stones all the way to the entrance.

Shirley Yang said hesitantly: 'Shall we just go in like this? It's okay now, the water has been sucked up, but if it can't come out in time, won't the entire underground palace be flooded in this underwater tomb passage, right? We didn’t bring oxygen tanks, so we couldn’t hold on for long. '

Hu Bayi said: "No, I guess that the tomb of King Xian is not the kind of flat surface that can be pushed straight forward, it is either a back shape or a tic shape. Even if there is water in the tomb passage, but the underground palace It’s definitely a closed illusion inside.”

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, look at the entrance. Water is no longer flowing out, which means there is not a lot of water inside."

Shirley Yang sighed and said, "I hope so!"

Not long after walking into the entrance, I discovered that there was a row of steps. After walking for a while, I saw that there was a large space inside.

There are obvious traces of artificial excavation inside this cave. Even the steps are built horizontally and vertically. There are also many stone statues inside.

"Finally we arrived at the place. It's well preserved here."

Shirley Yang looked at these stone statues and said: 'These stone statues should have a certain deterrent effect. '

Wang Kaixuan asked strangely after hearing this: "Shock? Who does King Xian want to shock? The small fish and shrimp in the water? Lao Hu, are you shocked?"

Others looked at Wang Kaixuan with strange eyes, which made Wang Kaixuan a little puzzled, but he still kept his mouth shut.

After everyone walked around the hall, Shirley Yang couldn't help but ask: "Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, how do you think King Xian managed to build such a large palace underwater? This is incredible. "

Zhao Shucheng said disapprovingly, "What's so strange about this? The Tomb of King Xian just looks very difficult. You have to know that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is huge in scale, and the Mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu is even more contrary to the conventional terrain of emperors' mausoleums, which are backed by mountains and face rivers. Instead, it is backed by rivers and faces mountains, which is unconventional. And Shen Wansan, the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty, built his tomb directly on the seabed, and no one can find it now."

Hu Bayi said: "I guess it was during Shi Gongqi's case that he first cut off the large and small water veins in the Worm Valley and dug in from the entrance just now. However, such a project is quite large."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "Yes, some of the technologies mastered by the ancients are things that our modern technology cannot do. So instead of guessing, we might as well go inside and find out."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng walked to the edge of the hall, looked at the groove on the wall, and said, "This should be the oil tank."

"Oil tank?"

"Yes, it is actually equivalent to the ever-burning lamp in the ancient tomb. The ancients did not have electric lamps, so they used oil lamps, but oil lamps consume oil, so use an oil tank, which can be lit and last for a long time."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng took out a match, lit it and threw it in. He saw a shocking scene. From where Zhao Shucheng dropped the match, flames quickly filled both sides. After a while, the entire groove was filled with ignited flames.

But because of this, Zhao Shucheng and others saw a strange scene on the wall. There were many corpses hanging on it, and each one was withered.

"This is……"

Zhao Shucheng sighed and said: "This is what King Xian used to collect corpse oil. The liquid in it should be corpse oil. I also asked where King Xian came from so much oil. You need to know where Mr. Xian Wang There was no such thing as vegetable oil at that time, most of it was meat oil.”

Everyone looked at the messy corpses on the wall, only to find that their ears and noses had been cut off and their eyes had been gouged out. They looked a bit miserable.

Although no one had counted them in detail, a rough look showed that there were at least hundreds of corpses inside, maybe even thousands. One can imagine the brutality of King Xian back then.

"Do you think King Xian is crazy about becoming an immortal? Is he so cruel?" Shirley Yang asked unbearably.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Miss Yang is wrong. This King Xian does this not only to become an immortal, but also to maintain his rule."

"How can you say this? How can such a cruel behavior be for your own rule? Shouldn't it be because of such behavior that your rule has been overthrown?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "Actually, I just figured it out. You have also seen that King Xian has built many major projects here, whether it is the previous Yunding Heavenly Palace, this Tomb of King Xian, or even the previous Gourd The white miasma in front of the cave and the temple required a lot of people to work on. You must know that when the First Emperor was pruning the Tomb of the First Emperor, he only mobilized 700,000 workers and spent decades to complete the construction of the Tomb of the King. Despite all the efforts, it actually only took 20 to 30 years to complete the construction, which required hundreds of thousands of people. "

"King Xian can't be compared to the First Emperor. The First Emperor imposed labor levies across the country. Although some people wereted money and money, most people could still survive. But King Xian only brought hundreds of thousands of tribesmen into these mountains. , The cultivated area is limited, and the tomb of King Xian has to be built for him. It can be said that every household is doing hard work, and even women and children can only cultivate and collect fruits, which means there is simply no food to eat. "

"If King Xian can't solve this problem, then when the people's resentment boils over, I'm afraid that King Xian will die badly. But King Xian is not a person who loves the people like a son. He is good at the art of evil, so he uses evil to control The tribesmen did not dare to resist, and they even did not hesitate to reduce the number of tribesmen so that the remaining people could make a living. However, after King Xian died, those tribesmen were naturally not willing to live a hard life in such a place, so they did so. Someone presented the map of the King's Tomb to the King of Dian in order to gain a chance to survive outside."

When others heard Zhao Shucheng's words, they thought of the dead bodies and dead bodies they saw along the way, and even the corpses here, and had to admit that Zhao Shucheng's guess was quite reasonable.
