Chapter 311
The main hall of this temple is small in size, and it is also covered with plants. The clay statue of the black-faced god on the altar has fallen down.

The statue has no expression on its face, its eyes are slightly closed, and it is dressed in a black robe. Although it is lying in the corner, it still gives people a sense of cold majesty.

Next to the original position of the statue, there are two clay sculpture mountain ghosts, both of which are in the shape of a green face and fangs. The difference is that the one on the left is holding a fiery red gourd, and the one on the right is holding a toad in both hands.

Whether it's toad or gourd, Chen Ziyan and others are no strangers.

The toad was exactly what it looked like on the murals of the Zhenlingpu, and the fiery red gourd they had just seen outside.

Seeing these two things, Hu Bayi suddenly said: "I dare to say that the toad and the gourd are both belongings of the mountain god in this temple, but I don't know what these two things represent."

Generally speaking, such objects have their unique meanings in them.

Wang Kaixuan said indifferently: "What else can I do, put wine in gourds, and make toads into appetizers, it just goes well with it, wouldn't the grandson of Da Jinya like this too?"

Hu Bayi ignored him, but was moved by the desolate mountain temple, thinking of the days before he and Wang Kaixuan met Chen Ziyan, he couldn't help but sigh: "This mountain god can protect one side of the gods, it should be I use incense to worship, but I don't want to be in such a situation now, it really corresponds to the saying that the rise and fall are countless."

Wang Kaixuan knew him very well, and when he heard such sadness, he quickly said: "Old Hu, you are fine, what kind of sour words are you talking about? Is there some evil idea in your heart? I can tell you in advance, don't let the fat man pay homage to you." This wild god!"

Although the others didn't speak, they all looked disapproving.

Even though they have gone through so much, they would believe in living beings becoming spirits, but the mountain gods don't believe in anything at all.

Hu Bayi also saw the expressions of the crowd, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's fine to worship, I just want to straighten this fallen statue. It's fate for everyone to meet here, just take it as a small effort, please ask for a favor." Psychological comfort."

This was not what he originally thought, but after thinking about it, he gave up his previous idea.

Since everyone is not interested, there is no need for him to force anything.

"I think you are a remnant of feudal dross. We overthrew fewer temples back then. You might as well believe me in this clay sculpture!" Although Wang Kaixuan said so, his body was very honest. Still went over to help.

"It's just a matter of convenience."

"Come on, this support is also supported. Maybe people still feel comfortable lying down. Isn't there a saying that says it's better to lie down than stand up."

"Okay, let's go to the back and have a look." Hu Bayi didn't want Wang Kaixuan to continue talking, so he pushed him into the back hall.

This temple is built on the mountain, so the apse is already inside the mountain. It is narrower than the front. There is a green stone screen in the middle with a picture of the mountain god on it. It is no different from the clay sculpture outside, except for its appearance. more blurred,

But when they took a closer look, they found that the stone screen did not look like artificial carvings, but more like a naturally generated texture.

After turning around the emerald stone screen, at the end of the temple, there are nine giant stone statues of toads placed horizontally.

The first time Hu Bayi saw these toad stone statues, he found that they corresponded to the number of "nine twists and turns", which was the same as what he deduced before.

But he was the only one who saw this, because this kind of mechanism is obvious to those who understand the Yilongjing, and those who don't understand the essence of Fengshui secret art, it is estimated that it will be difficult to figure out the doorway in the whole life.

Then he looked carefully, and found that the postures of the nine toad statues were different, and besides the movable toad mouth, there were stone grooves around them to allow their bodies to turn in all directions.

After Chen Ziyan glanced around, he looked at Hu Bayi and asked, "Old Hu, can you solve it?"

He didn't ask Shirley Yang, because Shirley Yang was only an expert in organs, but the nine toad stone statues in front of him had more geomantic omen than organs, and they belonged to Hu Bayi's specialty.

Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "It needs to be calculated. If you do this without authorization, the machine will be completely locked if you fail three times in a row."

He is sure of cracking this mechanism, but it needs enough time to calculate.

It is also possible to get started directly, but the success rate is definitely lower.

Chen Ziyan said after hearing the words: "According to your idea, we are not in a hurry."

Now that Hu Bayi has said so, Chen Ziyan naturally can't say more, he still understands the truth that haste makes waste.

After studying around these toad statues for a while, Hu Bayi calculated the answer according to the number of loops and family secrets, and quickly called Wang Kaixuan to help arrange the toads in specific positions.

"Why is there no response?" Wang Kaixuan was very puzzled when nothing changed after everything was done.

Chen Ziyan rolled his eyes at the stone toad statues that had been changed in order, and reminded him: "Maybe the door is not here, let's go out and look for it."

Several people immediately went outside, and when they walked out of the temple gate, they saw the flaming red gourd facing the temple gate, split into two halves at some point, revealing a stone gate hidden inside.

Seeing such a scene, Hu Bayi frowned even deeper.

He thought the door would appear in the apse, so that they could walk through the mountain wall.

But the way it is now clearly shows that the passage is underground.

Chen Ziyan saw Hu Bayi's hesitation, so he took the initiative to walk in the first place.

Although he really didn't expect any information about the fiery red gourd, since the portal was already here, they had to go in and take a look.

As for the danger, he is not worried, after all, he has never seen any poisonous miasma in the original plot.

Instead of reaching out rashly to retreat, Chen Ziyan pushed open the door with a broken stick in his hand.

This is a fiery red door, the overall shape is like the face of a toad, it can be described as flat and round.

Shirley Yang looked at the door and said: "The design of this mechanism is really sophisticated. I'm afraid no one would easily think that the portal opened by the mechanism will be outside."

Wang Kaixuan said: "Why is this door built so strangely? I don't know what is hidden inside. Is it really a secret passage leading to the master's tomb?"

Chen Ziyan answered him: "The mark on the town mausoleum should be correct. If there is an exit at the end of this road, it will definitely take us to Minglou."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

Wang Kaixuan responded positively, and immediately passed Chen Ziyan and walked into the door first.

The others were worried that he went in alone, and immediately followed behind.

After they walked into this door, they saw that there were many shadows inside, and even a flare was shot out.

When the pale light of the flares came on, they saw countless huge bones and ivory in front of them, obviously a large-scale burial pit.

After the flare rises to the highest point, it can be seen that there is a hole in the asymmetrical position at the left and right ends.

Both sides of the main road are filled with bones of the dead, and the main road is full of bones of the dead.

"This ancient feudal ruler is really hateful!" Wang Kaixuan came to the pile of bones and said something viciously, then changed the subject and asked: "By the way, what is the quality of the ivory inside?"

This is very clear, just ask how much their ivory is worth.

But now Wang Kaixuan has somewhat restrained himself, so he didn't ask too explicitly.

"The ivory here is not worth a lot of money. Although they are still intact, the essence inside has long been lost with the years." Chen Ziyan said.

He has also observed the white bones all over the place, especially those that are obviously different, but after a closer look, he found that the animal bones here are all superficial, and the essence contained in them has long since passed away.

"That's a pity!" Wang Kaixuan thought it would be worth some money, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"It's not a pity. The burial pit you want to sacrifice to the king has such a scale, so his real mausoleum can be even worse!" Chen Ziyan said.

Although he also paid attention to it, he didn't care about it at all. After finding out that it was worthless, he decisively chose to give up.

The group of them did not stay here too long, and soon came to the end of this underground space.

Then they saw that here, there was a rushing stream!

The terrain here is a bit peculiar, there is only one waterway left, and there is not even a little extra ground on both sides. Obviously, if they want to continue walking, they can only take the waterway in front of them.

"Master Chen, let's wait for a waterway." Hu Bayi said.

"Then let's go." Chen Ziyan said.

Things have progressed to the present, even if you want to back off, there is no way.

The only solution is to take big strides forward.

Fortunately, when they left the ship, they brought the supporting hovercraft over.

With professional tools in hand, the process of inflating a hovercraft couldn't be easier!

When they were all ready, they all boarded the boat and began to go down the river.

The flow of the stream was very fast, and Chen Ziyan and the others were going downstream, which caused them to get on the hovercraft at an ever-increasing speed.

There are many huge natural stone pillars in the water, like corals at the bottom of the water, with thousands of branches, but because the cave is too dark, they can't see it too clearly.

Because the top of the cave is very close to the water surface, it makes people feel extra depressing.

Chen Ziyan raised the flashlight to look, and found that there were many roots of plants on it. Obviously, they did not enter the rock wall at this time, but walked through the underground of the insect valley.

After driving for a certain distance in this way, until the distance between the cave roof and the horizontal surface was widened, the feeling of depression in several people's hearts slowly receded, and even their breathing became much more comfortable.

However, while the space becomes more spacious, the plant roots and weird coral stones here are getting denser and denser.

At the same time, when the hovercraft was moving forward, there were small fish swimming in the water next to it from time to time.

But what makes people feel at ease is that the fish here are ordinary fish, not the piranhas I encountered before.

And at this moment, more strange coral stones appeared, and they finally saw what they were.

It turns out that these are fossils left over from trees in ancient times!
Most of the common fossils are animal fossils, because the bones and teeth of animals have less organic matter and more inorganic matter. After being buried by sand, the rate of decay will slow down, and then they will be washed by the slowly flowing groundwater in the crevices of sand. Precipitate excess minerals to form crystals, which are far more likely to end up as fossils than plants.

Looking at the fossil forest beside him for a while, Chen Ziyan said: "Zhelong Mountain may have been a volcano a long time ago, and only in this way can there be so many fossil trees by chance."

This situation definitely belongs to the type that cannot be met.

Shirley Yang Wenyan also said: "Although our journey this time was not smooth, we also saw a lot of things along the way that ordinary people would never see in their lifetime, and we have gained a lot."

Because from the Zhenling score, it was confirmed that Muchen Bead was in Xian Wang's hands, so Xue Liyang's mood is still relaxed now, otherwise she would not bother to echo such words.

"Yeah, if there are important things at hand, I really want to observe more here." Chen Ziyan nodded.

The tree fossils here are rugged and unique, which is in line with his aesthetics.

Wang Kaixuan was completely indifferent to this. After hearing what they said, he said: "Just look at the meaning of these stones. When we touch a few earth-shattering artifacts, let's see what we want."

Chen Ziyan didn't speak. He felt that he and this fat man were not communicating on the same channel at all, so it's better to save those verbal disputes.

And at this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly saw a white figure slowly floating up in the water under the light.

This discovery made him startled, and he quickly said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, hurry up!"

Others don't know what it is, but he knows what it is, so at the moment he has nothing else to think about except running.

Hu Bayi didn't understand why Chen Ziyan said that at first, but he subconsciously accelerated the speed, but before the boat had gone far, he knew the reason why Chen Ziyan would speed up.

From his angle, he could clearly see white figures rising from the surrounding deep water, and he could even see the face at the nearest distance.

These white figures are obviously female corpses.

When these female corpses took a closer look, they found that their bodies were covered with a layer of faint blue light. It was a kind of light without temperature, which symbolized death and coldness. Just looking at it made people feel chilly.

When more and more female corpses appeared nearby, everyone else on the boat understood what had happened.

But they couldn't do anything about these female corpses. Since these female corpses didn't do anything now, everyone agreed to do nothing.

Especially Chen Ziyan, who knew the specific power of this thing, secretly prayed that everything would start after they landed.

At that time, even if you need to face Huo's Undead Worm, it will be far better than being in the water.

At least everyone's performance will not be affected.

And even if it is really difficult to fight, then it will be more convenient for them to escape, right?

But this possibility is very small, because Huo's undead insects still have to be killed.
