One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

King Xian believed that this giant snake was the legendary god of Zhongshan, Zhu Jiuyin.

King Xian regarded this dream as a revelation from the ancient god, and from that day on he became a believer of the snake god, wanting to follow the snake god and gain the power of immortality.

He originally tried to find the desert where the snake god was born in his dream, so he ordered his high priest to perform divination to find the address of that desert.

The weight of the Snake God is almost equal to that of heaven and earth. Before Hu Bayi arrived at the Ancient City of Jingjue, Master Hui could still predict good and bad luck for him, but after he found the Ancient City of Jingjue and became involved with the Ghost Cave.

Mr. Hui Erye had no other choice but to continue fortune-telling for Hu Bayi.

The same thing happened to the high priest. When he tried to inquire about the secret of the ghost cave in the inner scene, he was backfired and died in the divination ritual, swallowed by the secret of the snake god.

King Xian spent his entire life searching for the ghost cave, but until his death, he never found it.

After listening to Hu Xiuwu and Shirley Yang’s answers to the tortoise shell.

Liao Zhong crossed his arms and said, "King Xian went to such great lengths just to hide a dream? Didn't he want to become an immortal? Why is he so obsessed with the ghost cave?"

Hu Xiuwu said: "Perhaps in his opinion, as long as he finds the ghost cave, he can become an immortal."

"Alas, in the end there is still no clue to King Xian's tomb in this jade box."

"No, there are clues."

Hu Bayi's voice came from behind the crowd.

At some point, Hu Bayi came to the edge of the cliff alone, stepped on the white marble steps on the edge of the cliff, and looked down.

"Fatty, Xueli, come here, come and see what it looks like down there."

Hu Bayi said as he looked at the lake at the bottom of the valley.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang came over to him and looked in the direction he was looking.

Just now, everyone was busy rushing to the most conspicuous Lingyun Palace, and no one paid attention to the cold pool at the bottom of the valley.

The cold pond was clear, with a faint black vortex appearing at the bottom. You could also vaguely see several outlines like the giant fingers of strange beasts at the edge of the black vortex at the bottom of the pond.

Like a giant claw reaching out from the abyss, it grabbed the black vortex in the center.

Shirley Yang said uncertainly: "This, this looks like a ghost cave."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly realized: "Yes, I was wondering why it looked so familiar, yes, this is the ghost cave."

"Yes, I thought so too. And after listening to Xueli and Xiuwu's translation of the tortoise shell, I think King Xian's tomb is very likely under this pond."

"King Xian searched for the ghost cave all his life but never found it. He probably buried himself in the ghost cave to fulfill his wish."

Hu Bayi expressed his guess.

Wang Kaixuan poked his head out, glanced down, and immediately retracted his gaze:

"No way, we have to go down again. We just got up here with great difficulty."

Liao Zhong hugged Wang Kaixuan and held him against his waist: "Ha, we finally found a clue, why don't you go and take a look? Don't think of running away, kid."

Chapter 54: Tomb of King Xian

Hu Bayi's guess sounds reasonable.

In order to save time, Liao Zhong did not plan to go down the plank road. He planned to rappel down from Lingyun Palace and directly reach the bottom of the pool.

After all, the shortest distance between two points is a line segment.

Although Wang Kaixuan was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow everyone.

Except for Hu Xiuwu, everyone else had been trained and was very skilled in tying the climbing rope to the stone tablet in front of Lingyun Hall.

After fastening their safety belts, they slid down little by little. Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi, who were leading the way in front of the rope, hammered the rock nails they carried into the cliff wall every few steps to fix the rope.

Although Hu Xiuwu had not received any special training and did not know how to rappel, he did know how to hang himself. He used Qi to wrap around the talisman, then used the talisman to wrap around the rope, and then tied the other end of the talisman around his waist.

If one rope is not secure, another one will be added. The whole person is tied straight to the rope like a piece of cargo being transported and lowered to the bottom of the valley.

The temperature at the bottom of the valley has obviously dropped a lot, and there is still some moisture around.

When we reached the bottom of the valley, we were closer to the pool and could see fish swimming back and forth in the water.

Through the water, you can vaguely see bronze men and horses at the bottom of the pool, and the wreckage of a bomber in the water.

The bronze artifact lost at the bottom of the pond also indirectly confirmed Hu Bayi's guess.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were good at swimming and led the way. Hu Xiuwu put on an oxygen tank and swimming goggles and dived into the pool.

The water in the pond was icy cold, but the fish living in the pond had never seen humans before and were not afraid of humans at all. They swam around Hu Xiuwu.

Suddenly, Hu Bayi, who was leading the way in front, turned around and gestured to Hu Xiuwu and the others behind him, then paddled towards the direction of the bomber.

There is the center of the pool, that is, the location of the water eye, which is also the center of the deep black vortex when looking down at the pool from Lingyun Fairy Palace.

If King Xian really wanted to find the ghost cave, then he must have been buried at the location of this water eye.

However, there was an undercurrent near the bomber, and before Hu Bayi could get close, he was pushed back by the undercurrent.

Hu Xiuwu was behind him, holding him and Wang Kaixuan with a talisman, and swimming towards the water eye.

On the other side, Lao Meng pulled Xue Liyang and Liao Zhong and went towards the water eye against the undercurrent. The six people swam into the tomb passage against the current, and then tread water to float upwards.

After getting out of the water, Hu Xiuwu took off his goggles and looked up.

The tomb door was before him.

Several people looked at each other, those who had guns took guns, those who took out needles took out needles, and those who wore glasses put on glasses.

Hu Xiuwu stepped forward, exerted his Qi and pushed open the heavy bronze tomb door.

The tomb door creaked as it rubbed against the ground, and the true appearance of King Xian's tomb was finally revealed before them.

Behind the tomb gate, there are well-made terracotta warriors clustered on both sides of the tomb passage, and next to the terracotta warriors are pits of funerary objects.

At the end of the tomb passage, there are three stone bridges built side by side.

After seeing the stone bridge, Hu Xiuwu could not help but say, "This King Xian is really crazy about becoming an immortal. He even built the Three Life Bridge after his death."

Hu Bayi said: "Behind the Third Generation Bridge should be the coffin of King Xian."

Sure enough, after they crossed the Three Lives Bridge, they found three coffins.

A copper coffin was suspended in the air by nine chains, and two coffins of different materials and styles were placed on the ground.

???

Hu Xiuwu had a question mark in his mind.

What's going on? Why are there three coffins in King Xian's tomb?

Could it be that King Xian knew that I didn’t find any coffins in the ghost tomb of the Fishbone Temple last time, so he specially provided me with two coffins?

Hu Xiuwu complained in his heart.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang also didn't quite understand why King Xian had three coffins.

The three coffins were different. One was a bronze coffin, one was a seamless stone coffin, and the other was a black wooden coffin.

None of them were given for free. The materials used to make each coffin were all used to suppress zombies.

Three bridges, three coffins.

This inevitably reminds practitioners like Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng of the theory of reincarnation.

It seems that these three coffins are most likely the previous life that King Xian found for himself.

After entering the tomb chamber, Wang Kaixuan did not forget his old job. He first lit three candles in the southeast corner, and then came over to look at the three coffins with everyone.

This guy has a very good eye for anything related to money.

The tomb was extremely dark, but he still saw at a glance the bronze mirror inlaid on the bronze coffin that had fallen in mid-air. He was just about to reach out and take it down.

He was grabbed by the arm by Lao Meng who was standing next to him. Lao Meng looked at the bronze mirror and said:

"Don't touch it. It's an ancient corpse-suppressing mirror from the Qin Dynasty. It has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. If you take it down, the corpse in this bronze coffin will most likely rise again."

Wang Kaixuan withdrew his hand in embarrassment after hearing what Lao Meng said.

Hu Bayi immediately realized that Wang Kaixuan's old problem had come back, and he was immediately furious. It was already this late, and he was still thinking about getting rich:

"Little Fatty! What are you doing? Watch your hands. I think you got distracted in Lingyun Hall... You haven't recovered yet. Look, you haven't even checked the candle count."

Wang Kaixuan listened to Hu Bayi's first words with his shoulders shrugged. After hearing Hu Bayi's second words, he raised his head and retorted:

"Why didn't I light the candles properly? I lit three candles in the southeast corner... How come there are only nine candles now?"

Wang Kaixuan turned around to look at the place where he placed the candles, but he was stunned when he turned around.

Above the three candles he lit, six blue ghost lights were floating.

When I looked closer, I realized that it was not floating will-o'-the-wisp, but six merman corpses made into candles.

Six dried mermaid corpses were tied to a lamp stand. Their bellies were bulging, like pregnant women in their tenth month of pregnancy. A lamp rope was inserted from their mouths into their abdomens.

The faint blue ghost fire was caused by the burning cords at their mouths.

"Oh, it's a mermaid," Liao Zhong shone a flashlight on it, and after seeing clearly what it was, he didn't care anymore.

Shirley Yang said: "It is said that the ointment of mermaids in the sea not only has a very low ignition point, but also only a drop can burn for months without extinguishing. There are often tombs that use their corpses to make longevity candles."

Hu Bayi also said: "Legend has it that mermaids live on a dead coral island under the South China Sea. They lure travelers and lead them to their lair to eat them."

Liao Zhong said casually: "The Hentian Clan of Guixu in the South Sea is not a legend."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had let something slip, so he kept silent again.

This matter is still a secret of Nadutong. Hu Bayi has heard about the mermaid's lair, so Nadutong naturally knows about it.

This kind of place with a history of hurting people cannot be allowed to stay in Nadutong, so we specially sent people to investigate.

It turned out that Guixu did exist, but only the remains of the Hentian clan and the dragon fire that the Hentian clan used to forge copper remained in Guixu.

There are no more mermaids left, only a mermaid lady is left.

Hu Xiuwu thought to himself:

I always feel that Liao Zhong inadvertently revealed something extraordinary.
