Chapter 240 The Bronze Gate, the First God, Yan Shuangying!
The closer they got to the palace, the more insignificant they felt, and the more awe-inspiring they were by its majesty and grandeur.

The palace, as a special kind of architecture, embodies the essence of Chinese classical architectural style and technology, and reflects the characteristics of each dynasty, the five elements, astrology and even the inner character.

But even if several people are well-versed in ancient and modern times, they cannot tell which dynasty the architectural style of this palace belongs to.

The main hall of the Heavenly Palace is built with white jade steps. Large pieces of white marble are pieced together to form 360 steps, which lead directly to the hall door.

The main hall is made of purple gold bricks and beautiful jade tiles, with a strong Tang and Song Dynasty style. It is neither strange nor clumsy, but solid and steady, showing its grandeur.

But its grandeur and structure are based on the numerology of the I Ching from the pre-Qin period.

In particular, each jade step is inlaid with ninety-nine goose egg-sized luminous pearls, the palace lanterns on both sides are lit with dragon incense, and there are many legendary rare treasures.

The apparent value alone is inestimable.

"I now kind of believe what you call God-given power." Chen Yulou suddenly said to Zhang Qiling.

All of this completely fits his imagination of the Heavenly Palace. If there are immortals, they must be living in the palace!
Even a thief leader like Chen Yulou, who was indifferent to fame and disgrace and had profound skills in cultivating qi, could not help but breathe heavily.

He sighed, "Since the time of our Red Eyebrow Founder, we in the Xiangling Sect have never seen such a rare and magnificent underground palace."

"These bricks and stones, just by looking at their color, you can tell they are coated with a layer of real gold."

Gou Wu wanted to knock a piece down, but the bricks seemed to be embedded in the space and could not move at all.

"Don't move." Chen Yulou stopped him, "The more wealth and splendor one displays openly, the more dangers they may harbor."

Partridge Whistle walked at the back, staring at the compass in his hand and said, "I don't understand the feng shui dragon veins here."

The compass needle flew around, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, forming a nine-square pattern, which was incredible.

Is it possible that the earth's energy is changing according to a regular pattern every moment?

Zhang Qiling's face was solemn. The closer he got to the palace, the stronger his premonition became.

A certain concept is becoming clearer and clearer.

It was not until the few of them walked into the main hall and saw the bronze door that was almost as tall as the sky.

That feeling reached its peak.

Gou Wu wanted to scream, but he felt like something was blocking his throat and no sound came out.

Gou Wu was unable to describe the grandeur of this huge gate. The gate was about thirty feet high and nearly fifty feet wide.

Converted into a building, the height of this light exceeds all the buildings that Gouwu has ever seen.

The entire facade looks like it was cast in one piece. It is definitely not a bronze product that could be cast by the ancients, and it is definitely not for human use.

Partridge Whistle opened his mouth wide. "This is a door. A door like this weighs tens of thousands of tons, pressed on top of the rock. Who can open it?"

The door was decorated with extremely exquisite patterns, or rather spells. Because the door was so large, the complexity of these spells was so terrifying that it made one's scalp numb and a feeling of suffocation came over one.

The gap in the giant door closed perfectly.

"Immortal." Chen Yulou murmured.

Chen Yulou felt as if he was approaching a huge ancient mystery.

An extremely insignificant feeling of inferiority still arises in me. Compared with the ancient mystery of these miracles, human beings are really not worth mentioning.

But Zhang Qiling didn't say anything. He walked forward alone and put his hand on the bronze door.

Feel the unique texture and cold feeling of bronze.

"Young man from the Zhang family, is this the door you are talking about as the ultimate?" Gou Wu said softly, as if afraid that the sound would be too loud and disturb the immortal behind the bronze door.

Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of shocking the heavens.

Zhang Qiling took a deep breath. It’s not like he hadn’t seen other bronze doors before.

But this one gave him a completely different feeling. His sense of insignificance was even stronger, and he almost had the urge to kneel down.

It seems like the beginning of everything, the first of all things.

Partridge Whistle raised his head along the bronze door, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Brother Chen, look." Partridge Whistle whispered.

Chen Yulou looked up and saw countless shadows hanging upside down on the dome. Combined with the brightness of the night pearls, it was very terrifying.

"Human-faced owl!" Chen Yulou's eyes flashed.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Fourth Classic, records: "On the mountain of Xianxiu, there is a bird. It looks like an owl with a human face, a monkey body and a dog tail. It is named after itself. When it is seen, there will be a severe drought in the city."

But even by visual inspection, these strange birds are about half a meter tall, densely packed, and there are at least thousands of them.

Looking at their cold claws, they are definitely not vegetarians.

"Damn it." Chen Yulou broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, these human-faced owls were still dormant, otherwise they would have swooped down on him in a dense crowd.

These few people will definitely not get any good results.

But contrary to expectations, the noisy footsteps became louder and louder.

About fifty people rushed into the hall.

But they were in a very sorry state, and few of them were carrying weapons.

"Hurry, hurry, this is the ultimate!" Wang Buquan shouted excitedly with bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, the Wang family is very close to realizing their thousand-year dream.

Kosaku Hamada was also completely speechless. He had looted more than a dozen large tombs in China and had never seen such a scene.

This is the weather of immortals.

"Quick, kill them!"

Some Japanese soldiers took out their water-soaked rifles, pointed them forward, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Don't shoot!" Chen Yulou was horrified.

But the Japanese were so overwhelmed by the grandeur they had experienced along the way that they were unable to hear any of this.

Someone else fired a gun, not just a single shot, but a series of shots.

The gunshots were extremely loud in the empty hall, even causing countless echoes.

The human-faced owl was suddenly awakened. There was a commotion in the sky, and countless shadows circled and began to swoop down.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle had no choice but to fight back.

Then everyone opened fire, and more than a dozen tongues of fire poured into the sky. Soon, several shadows flying in the sky were hit and fell from the sky.

Zhang Qiling ducked down and knocked down Gou Wu behind him, and the next moment bullets started to blaze towards him.

"What's going on?" Gou Wu looked confused. Why did the hall suddenly become so lively?

"Brother Chen, there are too many of them!" Partridge Whistle shouted.

"I know!" Chen Yulou kept shooting. Even though his gun was invincible, he could not be a match for fifty Japanese soldiers and thousands of strange birds.

The strange birds flew lower and lower, and some even flew over the heads of several people. The bullets from the box gun were not enough to withstand such high-intensity shooting, and they were soon used up.

Fortunately, most of the strange birds focused their attention on the Japanese, and many Japanese had been caught and dismembered in the air.

"What should we do!" Gou Wu followed Zhang Qiling and kept dodging, with bullets flying across the hall.

Strange birds fly overhead from time to time.

"That thing should be in the bronze door!"

Zhang Qiling turned around and said.

"Can a human open this door?" Dog Five roared.

Before he could finish his words, a strange bird suddenly fluttered its wings and landed a few meters in front of the two of them.

The bird was extremely large, taller than a human when it stood up. After it landed, its ugly head turned a few times and stared straight at the two of them.

Zhang Qiling pointed his bleeding palm forward. The strange bird seemed to be afraid of the blood and took a few steps back.

Gou Wu vaguely saw the fangs in its mouth flashing with cold light, and then two strange birds flew down and landed behind them. Zhang Qiling quickly sprinkled blood behind them to drive away the strange birds.

However, more and more strange birds flew down, one after another.

Soon, the two were surrounded by such birds, but these birds did not move, and they were just a black mass.

Corpses fell one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.

They were all the bodies of Japanese soldiers, who died in horrific ways.

Gou Wu seemed to see a hint of ridicule in the eyes of these strange human-faced birds.

Zhang Qiling swung his black dagger and rushed out to fight.

The strange birds pounced on them almost at the same time, a black knife flashed, and three heads flew up.

But more of them were biting Zhang Qiling's muscles, and Gou Wu also rushed forward to help Zhang Qiling deal with those strange birds.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and the sound of flesh tearing continued.

Gou Wu was knocked to the ground by a strange bird. He struggled violently, but despair had already settled in his heart. In such a situation, even if a god came, he would not be able to save many people.

Suddenly there was a huge earthquake all around, and everyone fell down.

All the strange birds suddenly flew up in an instant, as if they had sensed some terrible natural enemy, and fled madly, trying their best to escape to the exit outside the hall.

Gou Wu's face was covered in blood as he struggled to get up. He saw Zhang Qiling, who was also covered in scars, staring blankly ahead.

I saw that the two huge bronze doors actually opened outward, and a dark gap appeared between the two doors.

An ancient, desolate and ancient atmosphere emanated from the crack in the door.

Gou Wu's heart was in his throat and he was covered in cold sweat.

Such a huge door actually opened by itself. The huge shock just now must have been the reaction when the door opened.

The question is, who opened such a heavy door?
Who is inside?

"Kill them, the ultimate has appeared!" Wang Buquan rushed forward with a gun, his face ferocious.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and tomb robbers following closely behind.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle supported each other and gasped for breath. They had no bullets left.

"This time there's really no chance of survival, Brother Partridge Whistle." Chen Yulou laughed bitterly.

boom!
Just when the two were almost in despair, a loud bang was heard.

They looked back and saw countless bronzes falling down, and the bronze door was smashed by a giant hand.

Looking in other directions, the entire underground palace seemed to be collapsing, and a giant several dozen feet tall broke free from the door.

Purple, pointed horns, long limbs, and a halo above the head.

Partridge Whistle understood at first glance that the puppet in the corridor was a replica of this giant god.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahaha." When Colonel Hashimoto, Kosaku Hamada and other Japanese saw this giant god.

They went completely crazy, shouting and screaming, and many of them even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Decisive battle weapons, decisive battle Immortal Lord!!!"

"The dream of becoming a great Japanese empire is finally coming true!"

"Gao Er Da Ye, Gundam, this is Gundam!"

The giant god seemed to notice the human shouting at his feet, and his red eyes swept over.

Hamada Kosaku straightened his clothes and raised his head with confidence: "God, we are representatives of the Great Japanese Empire."

"Give us knowledge, power, and wealth."

"The Empire will bring your glory to all the lands under the sky!"

"Empire, board!!!" Kuroda Genji, Otani Mitsuzou and others around him also shouted enthusiastically.

"Empire, board!!" Fanatical shouts echoed in the empty palace.

Bang!

The giant stepped down.

Just grind all the Japanese and the traitors into meat scraps.

"What?" Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were stunned.

The giant god turned around and looked at Zhang Qiling.

A jade-like object slowly fell from the giant god's brow and landed directly in Zhang Qiling's hands.

As if completing the mission, the giant god walked back into the bronze door, and then the fragments of the bronze door returned to the bronze door as if time had gone back, leaving no trace.

boom!
The bronze door slammed shut. Zhang Qiling held the jade book in his hand, his eyes radiating an unimaginable brilliance.

"This is the ultimate, this is the answer!"

Zhang Qiling looked at Gou Wu and said with a smile, "We succeeded."

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at the Japanese who had been turned into a complete mess and breathed a sigh of relief: "It was a close call."

"But the Japanese will not give up so easily." Partridge Whistle was not so optimistic.

"The secret within is a treasure worth gambling Japan's national destiny on."

Chen Yulou smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I have thought of a way out in advance."

"A powerful reinforcement has been invited!"

"Brother Chen, can your strong reinforcements deal with these Japanese?" Partridge Whistle smiled bitterly.

He watched Zhang Qiling being beaten half to death by the Japanese and dragged away.

The jade book in his hand was taken away directly.

Gou Wu also had a happy face, and the Japanese soldiers even snatched away his three-inch penis.

Unfortunately, as Partridge Whistle said, the Japanese attach much more importance to this matter than is reasonable.

The entire Zhashui County was tightly surrounded by a Japanese Army regiment, and the air force and army were dispatched to conduct a joint sweep.

Even though a few of them had great martial arts skills, they were no match for the large army.

After evading three waves of searches, the four were captured as expected.

Personal strength is ultimately vulnerable in front of the army.

Chen Yulou's face turned pale as he stared at the lame man in front of him.

"He Laogui, I didn't expect you to work for the Japanese!"

He Laogui laughed sinisterly: "Isn't this the famous leader of the Southern Xiangling?"

"I haven't seen you for several years. How come you came to my northern territory?"

Chen Yulou glared with anger, but the two Japanese soldiers behind him held him tightly and he could not move.

"And who is this? The famous Taoist who moves mountains." He Laogui looked at Queqiao Shao with a face that looked like he was asking for a beating because of the power he has over the people.

"Tell the truth, where are Director Wang, Colonel Hashimoto, and Professor Hamada?"

Chen Yulou's eyes rolled, and he immediately pretended to be disdainful and said, "You mean those Japanese? If you want to save them, why don't you untie Grandpa!"

Chen Yulou was so alert that he understood why the Japanese arrested but did not kill the four of them after hearing what He Laogui said.

It seems that those Japanese following behind them have a very important status.

"Hmph, I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin." Old Ghost He snorted coldly.

Although he also understood that the group of people who went in would be in great danger.

But in order to clear himself of responsibility, he cannot tear off this layer of gauze, otherwise it would be bad to be blamed by the Japanese.

Let these people live a little longer.

He immediately turned to the Japanese officer behind him and said, "Section Chief Hirata, I leave these people in your care. I must follow your orders and transport this cultural relic to Shanghai."

Hirata Ichi waved his hand arrogantly. He was the head of the Japanese Army's Special High Section in the Army Intelligence Department and the son of Japanese kendo master Yasujiro Hirata.

This time I came here with Hashimoto to carry out the mission, but I didn't expect that the idiot Hashimoto and Professor Hamada would disappear without a trace.

He Laogui got into a car and left under the escort of a group of Japanese officers.

He felt very lucky that he would have been left behind at the entrance of the underground river if he had not been unable to swim.

I'm afraid that like those hundred or so people, they can't get out.

Hamada is known as the father of Japanese archaeology. He had cooperated with many people before, but he still failed.

Fortunately, the things finally arrived.

He Laogui looked at the antique tightly wrapped in oilcloth. Although he was curious, he had no urge to open it and take a look.

He knew deeply that sometimes, the less you know, the safer you are.

Chen Yulou watched the vehicle leave, feeling extremely anxious but unable to do anything.

He can hardly protect himself now, let alone the ancient artifact.

"Chinese, you should know that there is an old Chinese saying, 'He who knows the current affairs is a hero.'" Hirata City stared at Chen Yulou in a strange Chinese accent.

"You may have heard of our Special High Police's methods. Generally speaking, when dealing with untrained individuals like you, they won't survive the third level of punishment."

"Of course, we wouldn't mind trying a few more on you."

Although Chen Yulou is the leader of the Green Forest, he also knows the righteousness of his family and country.

"Those Japanese are in a very bad state. We can't survive several types of torture, but do you think they can last until then?"

Chen Yulou responded with a sneer, observing his surroundings with his peripheral vision.

There were more than a hundred Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition.

It's impossible to force your way in.

He fixed his eyes on the Japanese officer in front of him who was looking down on others.

"Anyway, you guys got something. We brothers are here just for the money."

"As long as you release our brothers, I will tell you the whereabouts of those Japanese without hesitation."

Hirata City frowned. The Chinese man in front of him actually dared to negotiate with him.

Although that idiot Hashimoto is dead, Professor Hamada is a national treasure and no mistakes can be made.

"I'll give you one last chance!" He pulled Gou Wu over and put the gun to his forehead.

"I'll count to three, kill one, count to three again, kill another."

"Either you tell me now, or you tell me later after I kill all your friends. Choose one!"

Chen Yulou gritted his teeth and said, "Just try it, and I'll let those Japanese be buried with us brothers."

Hirata City said indifferently: "Three!"

"two!"

Gou Wu closed his eyes in fear.

Old man, the Wu family is going to be extinct!

But swear by our ancestors, I, Gou Wu, am definitely not a coward!
"one!"

boom!
When the gunshot rang out, Gou Wu felt a gust of hot wind in his ears.

The Japanese behind him suddenly let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, gunfire rang out.

Bullets rained down from the sky.

The Japanese around him kept falling one after another.

Each bullet could accurately blow off a Japanese's skull.

In the blink of an eye, there were only less than fifty Japanese left out of the more than one hundred.

Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief.

The reinforcements have finally arrived!

"Hide, surround and attack." Hirata City looked at his bloody hands and shouted angrily.

But soon, the Japanese soldiers sent out were killed one by one, and not even the shadow of the enemy was found.

Ping Tianshi seemed to realize something, his face changed drastically and he shouted: "Yan Shuangying, I know it's you!"

"Come out now!"

A figure flashed through the air at high speed, and the five Japanese soldiers fell to the ground before they could react.

By the time Hirata City raised his gun, the figure had already appeared in front of him.

The man with a stern face and wearing a black coat looked calmly at the pistol in front of him.

"I bet there's no bullet in your gun." He said calmly, as if he was looking at a dead man.

"Nisnei!!!"

Hirata City stared at the man who had left an indelible psychological shadow on him with red eyes, and wanted to pull the trigger in frustration.

Click.

Stuck!
By the time he was about to shoot again, Yan Shuangying had already dealt with the last five Japanese soldiers who blocked his way.

The cold blade was already against Hirata City's throat.

"I don't know whether your guns are faster or my sword is faster at this distance." Yan Shuangying imagined the Japanese soldiers surrounding him and said coldly in Japanese.

No Japanese dared to look him in the eye and they all lowered their heads.

"Swallow! Double! Eagle!" Hirata City laughed miserably in a low voice.

"Are you a human or a ghost?!"

"Of course he's just an ordinary Chinese man."

At this time, Chen Yuliu and Partridge Whistle opened fire at the same time, and Zhang Qiling also rushed into the group of Japanese.

Just now, Yan Shuangying made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and had already untied their restraints.

Hirata City wanted to say something, but Yan Shuangying's dagger slashed across and stabbed him in the heart, killing him instantly.

Yan Shuangying took out his box gun and fired blindly without even looking, killing the Japanese soldiers who were surrounding him from behind.

In less than a minute, more than a hundred Japanese were wiped out.

"Brother Yan, I will never forget your life-saving grace!" Chen Yulou said with a fist salute.

"It's just a small matter, Mr. Chen, don't worry about it." Yan Shuangying said calmly, as if he had just killed a few chickens.

This was the first time Partridge Whistle had seen such skills, which were much stronger than any other aliens he had encountered before.

"Thank you, Brother Yan. I am Partridge Whistle." In front of a hero like Yan Shuangying, Partridge Whistle suddenly felt ashamed of his identity.

Zhang Qiling came over and said anxiously, "Can you help get that thing back? It's related to everyone's fate."

"How can an underground thing determine the fate of everyone?" Yan Shuangying said with a stern look.

"I am just a soldier. We are in the midst of a war and we are all part of the Anti-Japanese United Front. I do not wish to interfere with your tomb robbing."

"But destroying people's graves and stealing ancient artifacts is not the right way."

"I have important matters in Xi'an."

"That's it, goodbye. See you later."

Yan Shuangying clasped his fists and disappeared into the jungle in a flash.

"What a heroic figure he is." Partridge Whistle sighed sincerely.

"Half human, half ghost, the best with a sharpshooter, I've even heard of his name in Changsha!" Gou Wu had a look of admiration on his face.

Zhang Qiling looked worried: "But the things are in the hands of the Japanese."

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle felt their scalps tingling. Now that a large number of Japanese troops had appeared in Shanghai, they had no ability to get involved.

Gou Wu comforted him, "As long as he's alright, we'll go find the Buddha right away. He'll definitely find a solution."

Zhang Qiling nodded helplessly.

Gou Wu looked at Zhang Qiling, who was bleeding all over and limping.

"Brother, you are seriously injured. Brother Chen and Brother Queqiao Shao, please take the Zhang brothers to a safe place."

"No, my mission is not completed yet!" Zhang Qiling insisted.

Gou Wu said sternly, "Don't worry, Master Buddha is here, we will definitely be able to get the things back!"

"Next, it's up to us Nine Sects!"

　You might not be very interested in this part of the story, so I'll speed things up and release the rest of the Shanghai Storm extra chapter over three days, 4 chapters a day. Feel free to pick up any you like. It was supposed to be finished in one day, but some content needs to be adjusted.
