Chapter 3272 Chapter 3274 [Two major disasters]

Between the red gourd and the blue toad, there is a divine residence dedicated to the mountain god. It is built on the mountain, but it should be built on the central axis of the mountain behind it. It adopts a wedge-shaped wooden frame structure and is divided into two parts: front and rear. Entering, the facade of the temple in front was entangled countless times with vines, and some of the tiles and wood had collapsed.

Although the green tiles and carved beams on the top are all dilapidated, the general framework has been preserved because it is a hole that can hide wind and gather energy.

The layers of broken insect tunnels on the mountain wall lost their function due to changes in water and soil, so although the wood of the temple was rotten, it still did not fall down, which can be regarded as a miracle.

This ancient building dedicated to the mountain **** has spent endless years quietly in the corner of this lonely valley. This all depends on the special wood and frame technology, as well as the special environment of the valley with very little rainfall.

Xiang Nan knew that this mountain temple was leading to the underground palace of King Xian, so he immediately walked over with the old foreigner and Hua Ling.

 The three of them entered the mountain temple and saw that the main hall was already full of plants.

This temple is not large in scale, and the clay statue on the altar has fallen over. It is a black-faced **** with an expressionless face and slightly closed eyes. The body was also made of black robe made of clay. Although it was pushed from the throne to the corner by the vines, it still gave people a cold and majestic feeling.

Next to the clay statue of the mountain **** are two clay mountain ghosts, both with green faces and fangs, like a yaksha. The one on the left is holding a flaming gourd, and the one on the right is holding a toad in both hands.

“Brother, what kind of treasures are these gourds and toads? How could the mountain **** use them?” the old foreigner asked in confusion.

“Each country has its own customs, so there’s no need to ask so many questions.” Xiang Nan waved his hands. Their purpose was the Muchen Bead, not to study the ancient southern Yunnan sacrificial culture.

 “Look around and see if there are any clues.” Xiang Nan reminded.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner immediately started looking for him.

 …

“Here.” Just as they were searching, Xiang Nan found a slightly raised stone brick with a toad pattern engraved on the ground.

 He then pressed it with his hand.

Just after hearing a few rattling sounds, nine stone pillars with toads carved on them appeared from the ground.

"What is this?" Hua Ling and the old foreigner asked in confusion.

"This should be the Dragon Shaking Pillar, a kind of mechanism. The nine stone pillars must be twisted in a certain order and in a certain direction to open the passage. Otherwise, it will be difficult to pass." Xiang Nan explained.

“Senior brother, you should be able to do it, right?” The old foreigner heard this and asked quickly.

 If they don’t understand this mechanism, their visit will be in vain.

Xiang Nan nodded, "The dragons are making nine melodies around the river, and all the meanders are nine loops; after the nine loops, there are nine more loops, and the nine loops are nine times around the Dragon Tower; the ninety-nine circles are finally one, and they enter the Lingshan Mountain in twos and threes...Old foreigner, you Turn the pillar in the northeast corner first."

 Fortunately, he had read the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" in Hu Guohua's hand, and also learned "The Secret of Golden Points" from Zhang Jiuyi, so he was quite familiar with deciphering the mechanism of this song.

 The old foreigner immediately obeyed the order and turned around.

 Subsequently, Hua Ling also turned other pillars under the guidance of Xiang Nan.

After all nine pillars were rotated, a rattling sound was heard from the wall on one side of the temple.

The three of them followed the sound and saw that the wall split in the middle, revealing a passage.

“Brother, there really is a passage!” the old foreigner said in surprise.

 “Senior brother, you are so awesome.” Hua Ling also said with admiration.

 …

"Okay, let's sit down and rest for a while. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to rest when we enter the underground palace." Xiang Nan said. He knew that after entering the underground palace, there would be a series of fierce battles.

Huo's undead bug, the evil baby, the corpse moth, the fleshy Tai Sui...each of them is a life-threatening master.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner both nodded.

 The three of them immediately sat down to rest, eat, drink water, meditate, and regain their energy.

 After resting for half an hour, the three of them got up and entered the passage. They saw that the passage was connected to a huge natural cave.

Xiang Nan aimed his flare gun at the depths and fired a flare, which cut through the darkness underground. The pale light shone deep in the cave, and he could see that there were countless huge bones and ivory inside. It was a huge burial trench. .

The three of them put on spotlights and walked forward. After walking about a hundred or ten meters, they saw a river blocking the road ahead. There are several ancient wooden boats lined up on the water's edge, but over the years, these wooden boats have become rotten to the point where only their frames are left and are no longer usable.

Xiang Nan tested the water temperature and found it was bitingly cold, so he immediately ordered, "Change into a diving suit."

Hua Ling and the old foreigner both nodded, took out their diving suits from their backpacks and put them on, and then followed Xiang Nan into the water.

After walking more than ten meters, the water was up to their necks and they could no longer reach the bottom of the water while standing. The three of them immediately started swimming.

Xiang Nan led the way first because he had clairvoyance, followed closely by Hua Ling and the old foreigner.

At this moment, the old foreigner suddenly said, "Brother, what do you think that is?"

Xiang Nan turned around and looked in the direction he pointed, and saw what seemed to be a little blue light in the distance.

“Leave it alone, don’t make a sound, keep swimming, and follow me.” Xiang Nan said and continued to swim forward.

He knew that it was a corpse made by King Xian. While the girl was still alive, he poured eggs into it and then poured it with rosin to unite it into one body.

 Because the girl's death was too painful, she felt infinite resentment. These grievances become food for the evil eggs. When the time comes, these evil eggs will hatch quickly and turn into evil zombies. They are not only powerful but also agile, even more powerful than the zombies in "Resident Evil".

 At that time, all the tomb robbers who broke into King Xian’s tomb will be caught by them. So try not to provoke them.

Moreover, the corpse is not the most terrifying thing in this cave.

 The most terrifying thing is the mantis worm, also called Huo's undead worm. It is a creature from the Cambrian era, between invertebrates and semi-vertebrates. It has a hard shell and wheel-shaped nerve tissue. The body and nerves are separated. After the body tissue is necrotic, the wheel-shaped nerves will still continue. It survives, so it is called an undead insect.

Such a creature has almost no natural enemies, and even machine gun fire will not cause much damage to it, so it is extremely powerful.

But in all things, if one is strong, the other must be weak. The weakness of Huo's undead insect is that it has no vision or hearing, only touch.

 So as long as they swim slowly, they should not attract the attention of Huo's undead insects.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner both nodded and continued to slowly swim forward with Xiang Nan.

 After swimming for about two hours, we saw light finally appearing in front of us.

　　　Xiang Nan and the three of them were all delighted.

Especially Xiang Nan, he knows how powerful the Huo's Undead Insect is. Not only is it difficult to kill, but the key point is that after killing it, those evil corpses will hatch.

 At that time, they will face the siege of hundreds of corpses.

 Fortunately, I was well prepared and swam slowly. As expected, I didn't disturb either the Huo's Undead Insect or the corpse. I was able to avoid two major disasters.
