Chapter 3: Deceiving
"Ding"

The sound of the jade chime is clear and pleasant, like the sound of spring water dripping on stones, ethereal and elegant.

But when everyone heard the sound, it was as if a needle was inserted into their brain.

Intense, severe pain went from the top of my head straight through the soles of my feet.

"Ahhh."

“Oh, it hurts.”

Intense screams rang out from everyone's mouth, without exception.

In just a few breaths, everyone was in so much pain that tears and snot were streaming down their faces. They fell to the ground, rolling around and pounding their heads. Some people even suffered from incontinence.

But no matter whether they could bear it or not, no one fainted, as if coma was not allowed during a headache.

No one noticed that just as everyone was wailing, a huge white ape climbed out of the valley.

The giant ape looked at the crowd rolling and wailing, and couldn't help but shudder as if he recalled some bad memories.

The pain goes away in a cup of tea.

Partridge Whistle was the first to recover. He wiped his nose and tears and just breathed a sigh of relief.

I accidentally saw a huge figure standing in front of me. I was startled and subconsciously stepped back.

As soon as he moved, he found that his limbs were weak and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Yulou, Luo Laowai and others around him woke up one after another.

Everyone also noticed the white ape in front of them, but it was unable to move and looked horrified.

When the white ape saw that most people had woken up, a rough voice sounded:

"The king said, if you don't want the whole army to be annihilated, then send the leader down."

The white ape opened its mouth and spoke, and everyone was stunned.

Even the experienced Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou looked at each other in shock, their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.

The two men thought that they had entered many Jedi tombs and seen many mysterious and strange things, but they had never heard of a monster that could speak.

It was not until everyone recovered from the shock that the white ape stammered and began to explain.

Everyone then understood that the white fog filling the valley and the sound of the jade chime that gave them a splitting headache were caused by the demon fairy in the valley using the magic weapon, the jade chime.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in even greater shock.

"Brother Partridge Whistle, what do you think? Should we go down Ping Mountain or not?" After hearing the white ape's explanation, Chen Yulou looked at Partridge Whistle first.

"We have no choice."

At this moment, Partridge Whistle was only thinking about finding the Zhuchen Pearl. Seeing a big monster lurking here, he thought it was the magical power of the Zhuchen Pearl and naturally did not want to miss it.

"Then let's go."

Seeing that the white ape seemed impatient, Chen Yulou was about to get angry.

He took a look at the frightened and timid bandits, gritted his teeth, and began to prepare to hang the mountain ladder.

Soon, three rows of centipede ladders on the cliff of Pingshan Mountain vertically inserted into the thick fog.

Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai each took a ladder and climbed carefully towards the deep valley.

The white ape led the way, climbing rocks at an extremely fast speed, and would stop from time to time to wait for the three people.

The three of them huddled at the back and took a long time to take a step forward, but they were whispering to each other.

"Brother Chen, what should we do? Why are there monsters here? Could it be that this Bottle Mountain is really the bottle that Laojun used to store elixirs, and it fell from the sky and turned into a legendary monster? The elixir in it was eaten by wild beasts and turned into a legendary monster."

"I'm so unlucky. I shouldn't have come to this crappy place in the first place."

At this moment, Luo Laowai still felt weak in his limbs, his heart was frightened, and his mind was full of legends of gods and ghosts. He couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

"Brother Partridge Whistle, you have traveled all over the world, but have you ever seen a situation like this?"

Chen Yulou did not dare to say anything nonsense. The headache-inducing sound of the jade chime and the white ape that spoke were beyond his understanding.

“Never.”

Partridge Whistle's face was very solemn, but his mind was recalling the answer he had gotten from asking the white ape before.

"That jade chime is the king's magic weapon, called the Headache Chime."

These were the original words of the white ape. Partridge Whistle had naturally read the novel Investiture of the Gods.

Now that I think about it carefully, the mythical magic weapon, the talking monster, and my own curse.

He just felt that he had never really understood this world, as if fairies, demons, monsters and monsters were not just legends.

"You all know about the headache chime, right?" Partridge Whistle asked the two people softly.

"The magic weapon in the Investiture of the Gods. Although I can't read, I have heard storytellers talk about it." Luo Laowai answered quickly.

"Of course I have heard of it. Before, I always thought it was a fabricated myth or legend." Chen Yulou was wearing the royal inner armor, and his mind was full of thoughts.

This was the period of the Republic of China. This world not only had Journey to the West, but also a series of novels such as Investiture of the Gods. Several people had read the original works.

"We'll act according to circumstances when we go down, and be careful."

Partridge Whistle was thinking about his own curse in his heart. Thinking that there was a monster here, and feeling that the Zhuchen Pearl was in Pingshan, he couldn't help but speed up his pace of going down.

Chen Yulou was very good at boxing and kicking, and he quickly caught up.

Only Luo Laowai was older and had no martial arts skills, so his speed was naturally the last.

"Hey, boss, brother Partridge Whistle, wait for me, my hands and feet are numb and I can't move."

The three of them walked down, and the thick white fog was slowly changing color.

It changed from white to gray, with a slight fishy smell.

Several people felt dizzy and almost fell down as soon as they smelled it. Fortunately, Wu Gong controlled the poisonous fog to avoid it, and they were safe.

The gray poisonous fog completely bypassed the centipede ladder, forming a poison-free zone of ten feet wide. Soon the three of them arrived at the bottom of the valley.

The bottom of Pingshan Valley is full of strange rocks and palaces, which are very old and some of them have decayed and collapsed.

The three of them just followed the white ape closely, not daring to walk around at all.

It was because among the broken walls, there were countless centipedes and scorpions devouring each other. The scene was so cruel that it gave several people goose bumps.

Only the poisonous creatures avoided the path where the white ape was moving.

After a while, everyone followed the white ape to a stone tablet, on which were engraved four large characters "Reflections of the Red Dust" in a flamboyant manner.

Walk further and cross a Yunlong Stone Bridge, and you will suddenly see a bright light before your eyes.

There are several large halls with double-eaved hip roofs, carved beams and painted buildings, which are solemn and majestic.

The lights inside and outside are bright, and white mist is rising all around, making it like a fairyland on earth, remote and mysterious.

Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao looked at everything in front of them and felt that it was illusory and unreal.

Luo Laowai's eyes almost popped out of his head as he exclaimed, "Damn it! Have I arrived in a fairyland?"

Several people came to a large hall. Above the door of the hall hung a plaque with three big characters "Wuliang Hall" inscribed on it.

The walls of this hall are carved with countless patterns of cranes, sea of ​​clouds, flying fairies, etc.

There was white mist surging in the underground palace, and there were stone bridges and ponds around it. It seemed like a fairyland in the clouds, which was shocking.

The three of them walked in one after another, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a huge centipede perched on the beam.

The water tank is thick and four or five meters long, and has six translucent wings behind it.

It looks like a dragon but is not a dragon. It is hideous and strange, as if a demon has descended to the world.

"Gudong."

The three people's pupils shrank sharply, and the sound of them swallowing saliva was clear in the empty hall.

When Wu Gong saw the reactions of the three people, he smiled knowingly, thinking that the scene he had arranged would not be in vain, and then a hoarse and strange voice sounded.

"The leader of the mountain-moving gang, Partridge Whistle, the leader of the mountain-lifting gang, Chen Yulou, and a small warlord, you are finally here."

When the three heard this dry, hoarse and strange voice, a chill rushed to their heads and their heartbeats accelerated like drums.

In just a few breaths, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and his clothes were completely wet.

From the corner of his eye, Partridge Whistle saw that in addition to the giant centipede and the white ape, there was actually a black scorpion as big as a millstone in the corner.

The scorpion's tail stands upright, and its eight legs grasp the ground, resembling a black jade pipa.

"Today we have entered a monster's lair. This Ping Mountain is really a dangerous place for monsters. I just don't know how this monster knows our names." Partridge Whistle thought to himself.

Then he looked at Chen Yulou and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Only Luo Laowai had a look of indignation on his face, as if he was dissatisfied with being called a small warlord. After his mouth twitched a few times, he didn't really dare to say anything.

“You must be wondering why I said that.”

Wu Gong looked at the expressions of the few people, swam with his thousand feet, and actually climbed down from the beam.

The ferocious insect body circled around the few people twice, and finally stopped in front of Luo Laowai, flapping its six wings and waving its tentacles, which was extremely terrifying.

Luo Laowai has been fighting wars for many years and has killed countless people, but he is extremely awed by these supernatural things.

At this moment, seeing the giant centipede walking around him, he was so scared that he trembled like a sieve, fearing that he would be eaten.

After hesitating for a moment, he fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily.

"Please spare my life, my king. I was just seeking wealth, but I didn't expect to disturb your practice. I have an 80-year-old mother and a crying child. Please don't eat me."

As he spoke, Luo Laowai tugged at Chen Yulou's robe, signaling the two to kowtow quickly.

"Haha, you don't have to worry. I have practiced for hundreds of years, respecting the heavens and the Tao, and have never devoured anyone. I asked you to come down only because I have cultivated magical powers and have foreseen today's situation."

Wu Gong walked around the hall, his densely packed feet tapping on the ground, the rustling sound piercing the eardrums, and then he said:

"But what I foresee is that the hundreds of people you brought with you would have died tragically in the Pingshan Underground Palace. If it weren't for my pity, all of you would have been killed."

Wu Gong tampered with the plot and spoke whatever he wanted. After all, he was no longer the original six-winged centipede.

He cultivated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Origin Method, wielded the magical treasure Headache Chime for conferring gods, and mastered four magical powers, plus he could fly in the sky.

With Wu Gong's level of cultivation, as long as the ancient gods don't come out, he will be invincible in this world of tomb robbers, and it will be too easy for it to deal with hundreds of people.

When the three heard this, they believed it to be true, and their heads ached even more.

The power of the headache bell was so extraordinary that after just one strike, hundreds of people felt the pain for a long time before they recovered.

If the monster had taken action at that time, the entire army would have been wiped out.

"Thank you very much, my king, for sparing my life." Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou exchanged subtle glances and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.

"It's okay. These are all trivial matters. I spared your lives in exchange for you doing things for me." Wu Gong said bluntly without being polite.

"But I won't let you work for nothing."

Wu Gong flapped his six wings and soared up and down in the hall like a dragon. Strange sounds came from all directions.

"Partridge Whistle, you are cursed by the Zagrama tribe's ghost eyes. I know where the Zhuchen Pearl is, and I can help you remove the curse."

"Chen Yulou, you care about the people of the world and want to save them from disaster. I can guide you to find endless treasures and help you achieve great things."

"Luo Laowai, you have great ambitions but little talent, are greedy for money, lustful, and cruel, and you are suitable to be fed to my centipede descendants. But I will give you a chance today. Mobilize your soldiers to assist Chen Yulou, hand over the military power, work well for me, and you can have a good end."

As he spoke, Wu Gong opened his mouth and controlled the storage bag to open. Several treasures flew out and landed in front of the three people.
