The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 548 Heavenly Palace on the Clouds (XIV) The Human-Faced Owl Pees
Looking at the words "Digging Heavy Industry" on the side of the backpack behind the corpse on the roof beam, Wen Sheng frowned slightly. This was truly... unexpected yet reasonable!

I never expected that something from the big movie would actually happen.

Thinking of the robot from the Digging Heavy Industry in the movie, Wen Sheng felt a sense of anticipation. Could such a thing really exist in this era?
and……

Looking at the corpse, Wen Sheng took three steps and climbed over the pillar to the roof beam.

"Wen Sheng! What are you doing?" Hu Yifei exclaimed.

Standing on the roof beam, Wen Sheng shone a flashlight on his face and then made a shushing gesture.

Then, under the gaze of the crowd below, he slowly approached the corpse from the roof beam, and then flipped over and hung upside down from the roof beam with his feet.

The people below covered their mouths, almost gasping out in shock, but Wen Sheng's movements were very calm. He reached out and touched the corpse, then pulled out a pistol, two spare magazines, and a dagger from the corpse's waist.

After getting it, he climbed onto the beam and continued walking to the other side.

At this moment, the people below understood what Wen Sheng was about to do, and their surprise deepened.

"They even have guns?"

The flashlight moved with Wen Sheng's steps, and after a while, several more corpses emerged from the darkness, dressed in the same attire and hanging in the air.

"Submachine guns too?!"

This surprised everyone even more. Who were these people? How could they bring guns in?

Wen Sheng then followed suit, grabbing a pistol, several magazines, and a dagger before jumping down again.

"Brother Wensheng, are you alright?"

"fine."

Wen Sheng shook his head, walked over and handed Hu Yifei a pistol: "The situation in this tomb is more complicated than we imagined. We need to be prepared for self-defense. Do you know how to use it?"

“I used to shoot at a shooting club, so I know a little bit,” Hu Yifei said as she took the pistol and magazine.

As a feisty female teacher, it's normal for her to know a little about marksmanship.

As for those who have never handled a gun before, they might experience adverse effects from holding one, so they were given daggers for self-defense.

"When did these people come in? And why are they armed?" Guan Gu asked.

Wen Sheng thought for a moment and said, "We should be inside the Three Saints Snow Mountain now. We came in from the Lesser Saints Snow Mountain, while they should have gone directly into the Three Saints Snow Mountain. They crossed the border there, and their weapons should have been brought in from there as well."

However, although this Digging Heavy Industry is an organization that only exists in apartment blockbusters, judging from the current situation, it seems to be following the plot of "The Lost Tomb".

"Then... how did these people die?" Chen Meijia asked a crucial question with concern.

"..."

After all, it was an ancient corpse, a "local corpse" from ancient Changbai Mountain.

The corpses that are now in front of them are all modern people, just like them.

The previous incidents were indeed dangerous, and three people even got lost, but getting lost doesn't mean they're really gone. But now, seeing someone actually die while going down into a tomb still has an exceptionally strong impact on my heart.

Wen Sheng didn't rush to answer the question; he simply gestured for everyone to continue walking.

"Don't look back, there's something on the roof."

Wen Sheng's simple words startled everyone.

Xinling asked fearfully, "Are they... those centipedes?"

“No, it looks like a bird, somewhat like an owl,” Wen Sheng said in a deep voice. “And they weren’t hanging by ropes, but by their hair.”

"Hair?!" Guan Gu Shenqi exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of hair is so strong?"

"I don't know, and it doesn't look like hair; it's not growing from their necks."

After hearing what Wen Sheng said, everyone couldn't help but shudder and quickened their pace.

Wen Sheng glanced back and then fell into deep thought. He remembered that the bird was called a human-faced owl. There were many of them, and they were very powerful and poisonous. They also had a partner called a tamarin.

If the centipedes were ordinary monsters in the Heavenly Palace, then the human-faced owl can be considered an elite monster.

As for that "hair"...

Wen Sheng didn't know if this was the work of the human-faced owl. If it was, then the danger level of the human-faced owl would increase even further; if not...

If I remember correctly, there seems to be only one type of hairy monster in the original work—the Forbidden Woman.

There shouldn't be any forbidden women in the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, right?

Looking into the depths of the Heavenly Palace, Wen Sheng took a deep breath. Since arriving here, he had a vague feeling that this place, which shouldn't belong to the Love Apartment world, seemed to be extremely important to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to walk into the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

Unfortunately, a premonition is not a prediction; he still needs to actually go inside to find out.

After exiting the front hall, you can see the Derivation Hall in the distance along the Sacred Way. In the middle, there is a twenty-arched white marble bridge with jade dragons wrapped around the railings on both sides, which emit a warm luster under the light of a flashlight.

Seeing that nothing was chasing them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chen Meijia came to Hu Yifei's side and looked at the other party's pistol with curiosity.

"Sister Yifei, you can use a handgun?"

"I used to go to shooting clubs when I had nothing to do."

Hu Yifei smiled and added, "Besides, when I was very young, my family actually had guns."

"Huh? You have guns at home?!" Chen Meijia exclaimed in surprise.

"It's also a pistol." Hu Yifei said calmly, but with a hint of pride in her tone. "When I said that my great-grandmother was a progressive young woman who even participated in the assassination of the head of the secret service in Shanghai, did you think I made it all up?"

After a pause, seeing Meijia's puzzled expression, and Wensheng and Guangu turning around to look at her strangely, Hu Yifei coughed lightly. Remembering that Meijia hadn't returned when she told the story of her dream about eliminating traitors during the Republic of China era, she continued:

"Although there are some artistic embellishments in the story, my great-grandmother was a progressive young woman. To commemorate that glorious era, she left behind a pistol, which I played with when I was a child. However, after the implementation of a complete ban on guns, my family handed the gun over."

"..."

After hearing Hu Yifei's words, Chen Meijia couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder you're so amazing, Sister Yifei. You've been raised with such a strong moral compass and have been deeply influenced by the Party since childhood."

"low profile!"

Hu Yifei waved her hand with a smile, and then Chen Meijia said, "Sister Yifei, can I touch the gun? I used to love watching 'The Double-Gun Granny,' but I've only ever played with toy guns and never touched a real gun before."

"It's possible, but you must never point the gun at anyone, or it might go off accidentally." Hu Yifei generously handed the pistol to Chen Meijia.

Upon hearing this, Chen Meijia gripped the gun very carefully and deliberately pointed the muzzle elsewhere.

"Ah~ I never expected that this time when I went down into the tomb, I would not only see terracotta warriors, but also touch a gun..." Chen Meijia held the gun with a comfortable expression, but then she said fearfully, "But why do I feel more terrified when I hold the gun?"

“Gun is a weapon of death. People who have never handled a gun since childhood will indeed be afraid to hold one, just like some people are nervous even when holding a kitchen knife,” Hu Yifei reassured. “But it’s okay, I didn’t take the safety off this gun. You won’t be able to pull the trigger. Don’t be nervous.”

"Really?" Chen Meijia breathed a sigh of relief, then subconsciously clicked her index finger—

"Snapped!"

A flash of light and a sharp gunshot rang out on the sacred path, startling everyone.

"..."

Seeing the helplessness in Wen Sheng's eyes and the frightened expressions of the others, Hu Yifei, who was also startled, fell silent.

Chen Meijia, who fired the shot, was so frightened that her face turned pale and her hands and feet began to tremble.

"Yi-yi... Sister Yi-fei, didn't you say I couldn't deduct it if I didn't have insurance?"

Seeing that Mika was about to lose her grip on the pistol, Hu Yifei quickly took the gun back and, after checking it, said awkwardly, "I just remembered that when I found out there was danger in the front hall, I had already turned off the safety, but I forgot to turn it off after I came out."

"..."

Wen Sheng almost lost his composure. Wasn't turning it off the same as turning it on?

However, although the accidental discharge did not injure anyone, it still had the same negative impact.

"Run! The gunshots have woken them up!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned by Wen Sheng's solemn expression. Before they could finish speaking, they heard a series of strange cries behind them, followed by a large black shadow flying out of the front hall. Now they knew what it was, and they quickly ran away.

Unfortunately, there is still some distance between this section and the next main hall. How can a human leg outrun a bird flying in the sky?
Soon, a man-faced owl caught up from behind. Seeing this, Wen Sheng had no choice but to stay behind and shoot down the flying man-faced owl.

"What kind of bird is that? Why does it have a human face?!"

Guan Gu Shenqi, who was running, looked back and was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn around and glance back, and their hearts jumped.

The birds that flew over had sunken faces, with only a large hole where their noses were, and their eye sockets were so deep they were deformed. Their eyes reflected the light of a flashlight like a flashlight, and only their beaks looked like those of owls.

“That’s a human-faced owl!” Cyndi, who was pulling Dali along, didn’t forget to explain. “The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that this bird has a human face and an owl’s body. If it is seen, the town will suffer a great drought. In myths and legends, it is the embodiment of wisdom and disaster.”

"Stop talking so much, there are too many of these bastards, let's run!" Hu Yifei shouted, "Watch out for your head, don't get grabbed!"

Actually, she didn't need to remind them; everyone lowered their heads after hearing the whistling wind overhead.

Dali, on the other hand, was not greatly affected when she ran because she was short enough.

The group ran with all their might and quickly reached the end of the long bridge. Ahead was the plaza of the imperial mausoleum, and beyond that was the Hall of Rebirth, which could also be considered the true gate of the Heavenly Palace.

However, at this moment, Dali, who was running in the lead, suddenly stopped and shouted, "Watch out, the bridge ahead is broken!"

Guan Gu, who was brandishing his katana to drive away the man-faced owl, shouted, "What do we do then?"

Hu Yifei, who was also firing at the man-faced owl, said, "What? What do we do? Jump over!"

There was a deep abyss about five or six meters wide between the end of the stone bridge and the opposite bank. When I shone my flashlight down there, all I could see was darkness.

"It's so far, I'll jump..."

Before Xinling could finish speaking, Wensheng had already put away his gun, rushed over, grabbed her waist, and jumped up while holding Dali in his other hand.

"hold me!"

Xinling and Dali instinctively closed their eyes, and felt a gust of wind blow across their faces. When they opened their eyes again, they had already landed on the other side.

After the two women arrived, Wen Sheng planned to go back and bring them over as well. However, at this moment, the flock of human-faced owls circling in the air rushed towards the two women. Wen Sheng had no choice but to retreat to their side and deal with the human-faced owls.

"You jump, I'll catch you here!"

Wen Sheng shouted and sliced ​​off half of a human-faced owl's head with a single stroke, but then a disgusting and bizarre thing burst out of the owl's head.

Monkey in the mouth!
These two collaborations are both disgusting. The man-faced owl is responsible for hunting, while the monkey in its mouth is responsible for eating the carcasses. The man-faced owl also feeds on the monkey in its mouth's excrement!

Wen Sheng frowned and kicked it away, keeping his attention focused on the three people on the bridge.

"Meijia, you jump first!" Hu Yifei shouted.

"Okay, I...I..."

Although she knew the situation was urgent, Chen Meijia's legs still went weak when she looked at the abyss in front of her.

"Jump quickly!" Hu Yifei urged again.

Seeing this, Chen Meijia gritted her teeth, rushed to the edge of the cliff, closed her eyes, and shouted, "You must catch me!"

However, just as she jumped, Hu Yifei suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute..."

Before he could finish speaking, a man-faced owl that was about to attack Mika in mid-air was shot down by Wen Sheng.

However, Mika, who couldn't stop herself from jumping, was still affected by the shout. She subconsciously turned around and suddenly lost her balance. Given her physical condition, it was already difficult for her to jump that far, and now she fell into the abyss as soon as she jumped.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng, who was chasing away the owls that kept rushing down, was startled. However, before he could jump down to save them, Hu Yifei had already jumped down first. At the same time, she pulled out the grappling hook from her waist and swung it to entangle Meijia. She threw the other end of the rope to Guan Gu Shenqi nearby.

"Guan Gu, stop us!"

Guan Gu, who was wielding his katana to drive away the man-faced owl, caught the rope. Unfortunately, the impact of the two falling was so great that he was pulled down with them before he could even steady himself while holding onto the rope.

……

Meanwhile, while Guan Gu Shenqi was facing a crisis, Tang Youyou and her group of four were also encountering trouble.

"Are...are you really going to open the coffin?"

Inside the icy tomb, Lü Ziqiao stammered.

Tang Youyou did not repeat the answer; she had already given it when Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

Otherwise, Zeng Xiaoxian wouldn't be shaking like a sieve right now.

Looking at the eerie black coffin in the middle, carved with intricate patterns, Lü Ziqiao felt his legs tremble.

"How about... we reconsider? We've run out of glutinous rice and black donkey hooves now. This coffin doesn't look ordinary. What if we open it and release something even more terrifying than before? Then the three of us, no, the four of us, will really be gone!"

Lu Ziqiao's words made Tang Youyou panic, but she still said, "But there's no way out now. We've searched everywhere, and this coffin is the only thing we haven't found. If this continues, we'll still die here."

"..."

The two men fell silent; at this moment, their psychological pressure was nearing its limit.

After a long silence, the two nodded.

The three of them cautiously approached the coffin, looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to Zhang Wei, who still looked like a living dead man.

"Ugh!"

The three of them sighed in unison and turned their attention back to the coffin in front of them.

"Three!" Tang Youyou stretched out her hand and began the countdown.

"Two!" Lu Ziqiao was also ready.

"Wait a minute!"

The aunt and nephew, who were about to push open the coffin lid, were startled and almost bumped their heads into the coffin.

"What are you doing, Teacher Zeng?" Tang Youyou said irritably.

"Um, I..." Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly, his legs turned inward, "I need to go to the toilet. I've been holding it in the whole way, and now I really can't hold it in anymore."

"..."

The other two people who heard this were speechless; they really let us down at the crucial moment.

However, because of Zeng Xiaoxian's interruption, the two people whose heart rates had just skyrocketed inexplicably relaxed for a moment.

Seeing Lu Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian go to the corner to relieve themselves, Tang Youyou turned her back on the other side and said, "You two are urinating in someone's tomb. That's so disrespectful!"

"We're practically turning their coffins upside down, what's the point of talking about respect?!" Lu Ziqiao, who was unbuckling his belt in the corner, said with a sneer.

"agree!"

Zeng Xiaoxian, who was sitting next to him in a duo, nodded in agreement, and the two even gave each other a high five.

The four people in the tomb were: one lying on the ground like a vegetable, two urinating in the corner with their backs to the coffin, and the other studying the murals on the other wall with his back to the coffin.

However, just when no one was paying attention, the patterns on the black coffin in the middle seemed to have changed slightly.

"Shh-"

While urinating, Lü Ziqiao couldn't help but whistle.

Zeng Xiaoxian, who had been holding it in for a while but hadn't been able to urinate due to nervousness, immediately started ejaculating upon hearing this noise.

"Can't you guys show me some respect? It's fine if you pee, but please stop whistling!" Tang Youyou complained as she looked at the mural.

"OK, I'm done."

After urinating, Lü Ziqiao shivered, pulled up his pants, fastened his belt, and turned around.

Just as he turned around, a female corpse wearing a golden crown with dangling ornaments, dressed in a gorgeous robe, with black eye sockets and a pale face appeared in front of him, nose to nose.

"Ghost!"

A shrill scream rang out from Lu Ziqiao's mouth. Zeng Xiaoxian, who was urinating halfway, was startled and instinctively turned around, urinating directly on Lu Ziqiao... and the female corpse.
