Chapter 239: Tomb Raiders Alliance (Part ) The Ultimate Behind the Bronze Door

Dog Five slowly woke up.

I just felt like I was beaten up severely and all the bones in my body were about to fall apart.

boom!boom!
The sound of bullets continued.

The roar of the monster and the sound of flesh being torn.

boom!
The violent explosion almost made Gou Wu faint again.

"Brother Wu, are you okay?" Someone helped him up.

Gou Wu barely opened his eyes, which were blurred by blood.

Zhang Qiling was seen standing at the bottom of the stairs, covered in blood, with a green Qilin tattoo appearing on his body.

His left hand was still in the motion of swinging the knife, and his right hand was holding a strange object. When Gou Wu saw it clearly, he gasped.

What he was holding in his right hand was actually the head of the bloody corpse.

Gou Wu shook his head and quickly got up: "It should be fine."

Chen Yulou took a deep breath and said, "That's good."

Partridge Whistle put away his box gun and walked closer to examine the headless corpse carefully. "This thing is inlaid with jade pieces that seem to be from the Han Dynasty. It's actually a Han Dynasty zongzi?"

"Han Dynasty?" Gou Wu gasped. He was thrown against the wall by the bloody corpse and fainted as soon as they met. He was the worst among the few people.

"This bloody corpse is truly vicious." Chen Yulou said with a serious expression.

Invulnerable to swords and guns, difficult to be hurt by bullets.

Fortunately, the four of them were very skilled, especially Zhang Qiling, who was able to fight the blood corpse alone and not be at a disadvantage.

"How could a bloody corpse from the Han Dynasty be found in a mine tunnel dating back to the Song Dynasty?"

No one can answer this question.

Before entering the ancient tomb, they encountered a big zongzi, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on this trip.

Zhang Qiling seemed to sense something and said, "The group behind us have also come in."

Chen Yulou couldn't help but get anxious: "Where is the entrance to the underground river?"

If they were blocked by the Japanese in this stone chamber with no way out, they would never be able to escape even if they had three heads and six arms.

Partridge Whistle looked at the sarcophagus and said, "If there is a secret door, it wouldn't be anywhere else. It must be on the coffin bed underneath this coffin."

Zhang Qiling and Queqiao Shao put their shoulders against the coffin and pushed hard.

With a click, the coffin moved a little, revealing a black gap on the coffin bed below.

Others also went up to help. After a few pushes, the empty coffin slid down halfway, and a one-meter-wide entrance appeared in front of everyone.

Grinning, Gou Wu stretched his neck to look inside. It was pitch black, and there seemed to be a very steep stone staircase leading down.

A strange smell wafted up from below.

"There is the sound of water and the air is flowing." Zhang Qiling said.

Partridge Whistle first shone the oil lamp downwards and found that it was an almost straight corridor, so deep that the bottom could not be seen. The green stone walls around it were very damp for some reason, and they felt a little slippery when pressed with the hand.

He led the way down.

The stone steps were very narrow at first, some were shallow and some were deep, and most of them could only accommodate half a foot.

But as you go down, the road becomes wider and wider, enough for four or five people to walk side by side.

At first, they were worried that the stone steps might contain traps, so they walked very carefully. But after walking for a while, they found that they were just simple stone steps without any dangerous traps.

At some point, the sound of water came from under the mine.

After passing a few bends, the sound of water became louder, sounding like thousands of horses galloping, and the water flow was extremely turbulent.

There was a sudden roar in my ears.

"arrive."

Partridge Whistle took a few quick steps and walked out of the secret passage and arrived at a riverbank.

At the same time, a rushing underground river appeared in front of the four people.

This underground river is about as wide as a military camp, the cave ceiling is about ten feet high, and it extends infinitely to the left and right, and it is unknown where it leads to.

There are no stalactites on the top of the cave, but the surrounding rocks have become smooth after years of erosion.

"Brother Zhang, this underground river doesn't look like it was dug by humans." Chen Yulou looked around.

When Chen Yulou traveled all over the country, he also went to Yunnan and Guizhou to rob tombs. The Bashu nobles and the royal families of the Shanyue Yi people there liked to use the huge caves eroded by underground rivers as natural tombs.

But in Shaanxi and Gansu, that is something that has never been seen before.

Zhang Qiling walked to the water's edge and dipped his fingers into the water.

The water flow was very fast and the water temperature was surprisingly warm.

"I was right just now. This river is indeed flowing upstream." Zhang Qiling said.

"It's incredible." Chen Yulou also noticed that there was something wrong with the flow direction and couldn't help but sigh.

The water in the underground river is extremely clear and you can see directly to the bottom of the river. There is no light underground, but the water seems to emit a faint green light and is crystal clear.

Chen Yulou suddenly looked up and found that green fluorescence was spreading over the dome little by little.

His face changed immediately and he extinguished the oil lamp in his hand.

Partridge Whistle was also an old hand and was also killed at the same time.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into absolute darkness.

"What...what happened?" Gou Wu whispered nervously, not daring to breathe.

Countless small green dots of light gathered densely on the roof. At first glance, it looked like a sea of ​​stars in the sky.

"It's the fifty star map." Chen Yulou whispered.

"No." Partridge Whistle said, he bent down, quickly lit the oil lamp, and threw it forward.

The oil lamp cut through the darkness.

Everyone present had excellent eyesight, and they could see clearly what the green fluorescence was with just a moment of light.

Insects several feet long, looking very much like centipedes, crawled all over the dome.

The front and back tentacles are very long, and the body is slender and divided into nine segments, with a green dot on the back of each segment.

But what is obviously different from the centipede is that this insect's legs are very long, almost as long as its body, and there are many of them, like many long hairs on both sides of its torso.

"Centipede?!" Chen Yulou was shocked.

"How can there be such a long centipede!" Partridge Whistle's face changed.

As if affected by the light, huge centipedes fell from the sky one by one.

There were rustling sounds as they crowded around them, and it seemed that they were completely surrounded.

Countless green centipedes rushed out like a tide, the scale of which could not be described in human language.

I saw wave after wave of them, with the ones in front stepping on the ones behind, crawling over like an overwhelming force. Crackling sounds came one after another, and many centipedes pressed underneath were directly crushed.

"Be careful, this is a Lingxi dragon centipede, it's poisonous!" Zhang Qiling stood in the front, and the sharp dagger slashed across his palm.

A bloody palm was thrust out into the air.

Suddenly, the centipedes around fled in all directions as if they had seen their natural enemies.

The centipedes that were like a tide also retreated quickly like a tide, and soon only the corpses of centipedes that were crushed to death by their own kind remained on the ground.

Zhang Qiling looked up and saw Gou Wu's face full of horror.

"This, this, this, what kind of Taoism is this!" Gou Wu said in a daze.

"I've heard that the Qilin Stele can ward off all poisons, but I didn't expect that the Zhang family has even more powerful Qilin blood." Chen Yulou said thoughtfully.

"Let's go." Zhang Qiling tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his hand.

"Swim across?" Chen Yulou frowned, "But the water is too turbulent."

"We have no way out." Partridge Whistle pointed upwards.

Chen Yulou was speechless.

Those Japanese above clearly wanted them to step on the minefield.

Unless they return to fight them, they will die if they stop.

Keep moving forward, and you might be able to find a glimmer of hope.

"This thing is lighter than water." Zhang Qiling threw the corpse of a dragon centipede into the water, but saw that the corpse floated on the water and flowed upwards with the current.

"Let's go." Chen Yulou did not hesitate. He removed the claws of four or five centipedes and wrapped them in oilcloth and tied them to himself.

The others followed suit, and Gou Wu had no choice but to tie his own three-inch stick to his back.

Thump thump!
The water flows very fast, but the entire underground river is relatively spacious, without any sharp bends or rocks.

After a flat spread.

The water flow actually slowed down, which made Chen Yulou breathe a sigh of relief.

"We should be nearly two miles downstream." Chen Yulou said to the partridge whistle floating in front of him.

"How could there be such a large underground river in Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

"Brother Chen, this river, could it be the Yellow Spring?" The teasing voice of Partridge Whistle sounded from behind.

Wait, why is there a sound behind me?
Chen Yulou hurriedly turned around and saw that Partridge Whistle was indeed floating behind him, and Zhang Qiling and Gou Wu were also behind him.

So what is in front of you?
"Oh no!" he cried out.

But then Zhang Qiling shouted in unison: "Oh no, there's a waterfall!"

What waterfall? Chen Yulou looked back again, but was stunned to see a scene he had never seen in his life.

A pure white waterfall appeared vertically in front of him.

Just like that, the water flows straight up, completely defying common sense.

Suddenly, the water rushed loudly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou immediately forgot about the strange signs just now.

There was only one thought in his mind: This time he wanted three boxes of gold and five hundred guns.

He is getting less cold!

The next moment, he was swept up by the rushing waterfall and pressed firmly under the water.

When Chen Yulou woke up, he felt his whole body was wet, especially his face.

He opened his eyes and saw Gou Wu's three-inch penis licking his face.

Gou Wu was sitting on the rocky beach not far from him.

Zhang Qiling and Partridge Whistle were in a rather miserable state, but fortunately they were not injured.

"Three brothers." Chen Yulou quickly wiped his face and got up.

Partridge Whistle looked back and said, "Brother Chen is awake?!"

"Where are we?" He looked around and saw that several people were already at a shallow beach.

The underground river seemed to end here. The huge amount of river water gathered here to form a huge lake with no visible edge.

There is such a big lake underground?
"We were rushed here, and Brother Partridge Whistle used his hook claws to grab hold of the rock wall."

"They saved us. This should be the entrance to the underground palace."

Gou Wu pointed to the huge passage behind him that was three people tall and could accommodate three carriages side by side.

"I've never heard of an upside-down river." Chen Yulou rubbed his sore arm with a grimace.

"Geomagnetic reversal." Zhang Qiling said concisely.

"Can the geomagnetic reversal suck all the river water into the sky?" Gou Wu obviously disagreed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou thought of the strange figure he had seen, frowned, and pondered, "I've heard that in some places with dangerous feng shui, there are underground rivers that lead to the underworld."

“Often, human and animal creatures stray into this place and fall into the underworld, neither living nor dead.”

"Corpses circulate back and forth along the Yellow Springs Dark River, traveling back and forth between the Yin and Yang realms. They are called Dark River Yin Corpses."

When Partridge Whistle thought of the horrific blood corpse, he said, "Many alchemists in the Han Dynasty tried to reverse life and death with magic and live another life."

"Many people use Feng Shui techniques to bury themselves in these dark rivers, hoping that during the process of returning from the netherworld to the living world, they will be reborn from the dead and resurrected."

"However, such miraculous arts that reverse life and death are envied by the heavens, often transforming into terrifying evil creatures. Could that blood corpse be an alchemist from the Han Dynasty who discovered this Yellow Spring River and sought immortality?"

"Brother Queqiao Shao is indeed very knowledgeable." Chen Yulou exclaimed in admiration.

After hearing this, Partridge Whistle laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you are too kind. According to what I said, we have entered the underworld!"

Zhang Qiling walked straight forward: "Is it the underworld? Let's go and take a look."

"After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!" Chen Yulou said in a low voice, and immediately followed.

But along the way, the few of them did not encounter any secret passages or traps, it was just like a city on the ground.

The passage is paved with blue bricks, which are tightly built with a mixture of herbal juice, lime and insect repellent. Despite thousands of years, it has not been weathered.

"This is too calm." Gou Wu held Sancun Ding in his arms, not knowing whether his body was soaked or not, but he felt waves of coldness creeping up his back.

"This is not a tomb, it's more like a city for the living." Zhang Qiling suddenly said.

Chen Yulou finally nodded in understanding. "No wonder the whole road is so strange. The straight corridor, the upside-down river, and even this passage so wide you can actually drive a car."

"Plus, the feng shui of this place states that solitary yang cannot flourish, and solitary yin cannot grow. It would be very unusual for a tomb for the dead, but it makes much more sense as a city for the living."

"Moreover, as a tomb, this place is too large, and the manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable."

"If it's the capital of a mysterious pre-Qin nation or tribe, it's an ideal location that's easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Gou Wu couldn't help but say, "Who would build their capital underground?"

Chen Yulou was speechless. This wasn't the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southwest where there wasn't a single piece of flat land. It was understandable that the witchcraft tribe over there built a city in a huge cave.

But this is Guanzhong, and Xi'an is only 500 miles away. Who would build a huge underground city next to this 2,000-year-old city?

Partridge Whistle, who was walking in front, seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly said, "There's light ahead!"

"Are we going out?" Chen Yulou was speechless, but he followed immediately.

The light ahead grew brighter and brighter, like daylight.

Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief. While he was glad to have escaped from this strange place, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The important trust entrusted to Zhang Dafoye was not fulfilled after all, but being able to escape unscathed from the Japanese pursuit and blockade was also an explanation to the Buddha.

At least half of his gold would not be too much.

However, he also felt a little strange. How could this road, which was so straight and had no forks, lead to the outside world?

Where is the underground palace?

Could it be that there is only one road in this place, and it was used for military purposes to allow the previous armies to bypass the pass?
"Repair the plank road in public and attack Chencang in secret!" Chen Yulou had an idea and shouted excitedly.

"I understand, this is the secret passage that led to Chencang!"

"Two thousand years ago, Liu Bang built an underground tunnel right here for his army to pass through. When Xiang Yu wasn't paying attention, his army bypassed the pass and attacked Guanzhong!"

"It all fits!" Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel excited about discovering the historical secrets of the Middle Ages.

However, when they rushed out of the passage, what was waiting for them was not the ground and the mountains.

In the vast space before them was a magnificent city.

"This is impossible!"

Partridge Whistle let out a cry of surprise.

"Is this the underground palace?"

Chen Yulou didn't want to describe it as an ancient city.

Because above the dome, countless crystals emit light like daylight.

The underground space is illuminated as if it were the outside world.

There are huge waterfalls on the surrounding cliffs. The cascading waterfalls stir up endless water mist in the air, scattering colorful rainbow light.

Between the waterfalls, the city walls, the jade towers, and the narrow streets, it seems as if one has traveled thousands of years back to the pre-Qin period.

It penetrates the stars and guards the celestial palace. The palace is fully equipped with a platform, a sacred wall, a stele pavilion, a corner tower, a sacrificial hall, and a spirit platform. It is crystal clear with golden bricks and jade tiles, and has carved beams and painted pillars, making it extremely magnificent.

Chen Yulou had practically lost the ability to speak, and Gou Wu could only open his mouth wide, opening and closing it like a fish out of water.

"Have we entered the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?" Even though Partridge Whistle had seen many storms and waves, he couldn't help but tremble.

In his opinion, in the entire 3,000-year history of China, only Emperor Qin Shi Huang had the courage and strength to build such an underground palace.

He suddenly had an intuition that here he could find a solution to the curse on their clan.

"Even the five cities and twelve towers imagined by the immortal poet and the White Jade Capital in the sky are no more than this!" Gou Wu could hardly take his eyes off it.

It was not until now that the leader of Xiangling realized that there would be so many complications and troubles in this mission.

No wonder the Japanese sent troops to follow.

"Brother Zhang, can you tell us now what your purpose is?" Chen Yulou said in a complicated tone.

Zhang Qiling turned around, his eyes also filled with shock: "This is... the ultimate."

"What ultimate?"

Zhang Qiling's face turned pale, as if he was afraid of something: "Our family has guarded the secret for thousands of years, the ultimate secret of the world."

What a big tone, the ultimate of the world.

Chen Yulou has traveled far and wide and seen many strange people and things, but what can be called the ultimate in the world?
Chen Yulou was about to retort, but after seeing the scene before him, he didn't say anything.

"Brother Zhang, please explain it more clearly." Partridge Whistle said in a deep voice.

Zhang Qiling's mouth moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone in the Zhang family will experience an awakening when they reach adulthood."

"Awakened members of the Zhang family will suddenly experience inexplicable commands, thoughts, desires, or memories. These consciousnesses present themselves in an irresistible way, forcing them to feel they must complete a certain mission. Once the mission is completed, they will lose all memories prior to that moment."

"The Zhang family calls this a gift from heaven." Zhang Qiling paused, as if he had said too many words at once.

"Just a while ago, all members of the Zhang family experienced a collective divine gift at the same time."

"It is difficult for us to describe the content of this divine gift. It is something that cannot be expressed in words." Zhang Qiling's eyes were empty, as if he was immersed in the feeling of divine gift.

The gift from God was so strong that it suppressed his ultimate gift, causing all his lost memories to be restored.

"We only know what to do." Zhang Qiling looked at the golden palace in the middle that was a hundred feet high.

"Retrieve a secret treasure and give it to—"

"Immortal."

Immortal? !
The three of them were shocked, not only because of the sudden collective gift from the Zhang family, but also because of the content of their gift.

"You Zhang family are crazy!" Chen Yulou denied subconsciously.

What heaven-given gift, what immortals, it's simply nonsense.

Chen Yulou has traveled all over the country for so many years and has seen many scammers who claim to be immortals, but not a single true immortal.

Moreover, if there were immortals, how could they sit idly by and watch the people of China suffer and fall to this state!
However, when he looked at the beautiful buildings in front of him, his heart began to waver.

But Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up. Their clan had been troubled by the curse of the Queen of Jingjue for thousands of years.

But they also recorded that thousands of years ago, there were indeed immortals in the world.

The Queen of Jingjue is a true immortal.

"Brother Chen, now that we've come this far, why don't we go and see what's inside?" said Partridge Whistle.

Chen Yulou calmed down and thought about the whole matter over and over again.

A simple entrance, strange stone men, an inverted river, and a huge city wall.

Why is there no agency in this place?

Because they believed that no one could steal the treasure.

After Chen Yulou thought about it, his face became very gloomy.

But having come this far, retreat is impossible.

He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. Let me see what the Zhang family is talking about as the ultimate goal."
