A few people crossed the river and entered the Worm Valley without even getting their clothes wet.

The river is at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, and the terrain is already very low, but unexpectedly, the altitude of Insect Valley is even lower than it is.

The original underground river turned into a small waterfall in Worm Valley.

The environment of Insect Valley is different from that of Zhelong Mountain. The terrain here is special. The entire Insect Valley is like a huge amphitheater. The closer to the center, the lower the terrain.

The structure like a basin, coupled with the suitable temperature and abundant rain in the southwest region, make the insect valley dense with green plants, blocking out the sky and the sun. Various rare butterflies that are difficult to see from the outside world fly among the flowers.

The highly poisonous white miasma, like the planetary rings of Saturn, surrounds the periphery of the Worm Valley,

Under such circumstances, neither Hu Bayi nor Hu Xiuwu could use their Feng Shui skills.

Liao Zhong held up a telescope and observed the topography of the Insect Valley next to the small waterfall:

"The Yaoxianhui group climbed over from Zhelong Mountain, and they should have entered the Insect Valley from there. Since they have found the right path, we don't need to find the way ourselves."

"Follow the path they took."

Before leaving, Liao Zhong told others: "Put on your protective clothing, we are going to pass through that white miasma."

Knowing that the target this time was the tomb of a Gu King, Liao Zhong asked the technicians from the bunker to prepare fully enclosed protective suits for everyone in the team.

Before putting on protective clothing, everyone also needs to put on headphones to facilitate communication.

The protective clothing is white, which is particularly conspicuous in the forest, and there are talismans attached to the surface of the protective clothing.

Hu Xiuwu looked at the talismans on his clothes and felt they looked familiar.

"This seems to be the plague-repelling talisman of our supreme power."

Liao Zhong answered while putting the protective clothing on his body:

"Of course, the company will buy the talismans of the Shangqing sect every year. Not only the talismans of the Shangqing, but also the excess talismans of Sanshan every year."

"Otherwise, where will the money from your mountain come from to provide for your disciples to learn talisman and seal script?"

The company acquires talismans, on the one hand, to supply them to the company's front-line employees. On the other hand, it also aims to support these talisman sects.

Cinnabar yellow paper and fine talisman pens are all valuable. Every apprentice who learns talismans spends a lot of money in the process of learning.

But the company doesn't allow things about the alien world to be revealed to ordinary people.

Sanshan talismans, except for talismans such as house talismans, other talismans are not allowed to be sold to ordinary people.

As for sects like Shangqing, most of them are otakus who cultivate in the mountains and have no other income.

There are only expenses every year but no income, and the members of the Shangqing Sect are all strong men with super powers.

If this goes on for a long time,

If one day the Shangqing inheritance becomes unsustainable, it is really difficult to predict whether the people of Shangqing can hold on to the bottom line.

What the company wants is stability. The company will not do things where the government forces the people to rebel.

The Taoist priests of the Shangqing Sect do not like to show their holiness in front of others, but just keep a low profile in the mountains to meditate and practice.

As long as there are no foreign invasions at the foot of the mountain, no matter how prosperous it is, it has nothing to do with me.

The company is very satisfied with the current situation of the Shangqing Sect, so as long as the Shangqing Sect people don't cause trouble, they can stay in the mountains with peace of mind.

Every year, the company will send people to purchase the talismans and seals produced by the Shangqing Sect, regardless of whether they are useful or not, so that the people of the Shangqing Sect can practice with peace of mind.

They are just spending money to protect an alternative intangible cultural heritage, just like protecting Peking Opera.

Every year, the government spends a lot of money to protect Peking Opera, so it is nothing to pay for it.

This is the attitude towards all sects and everywhere.

As long as you are willing to abide by the law and obey the law,

Just closing the door, teaching and teaching children, and passing on the inheritance of the ancestors, there won't be too much hindrance in anything, and they may even help.

Those who can't stand this kind of dull, uneventful life will be deemed by the company to be full-blooded monsters and terrorists who need to be eliminated.

Liao Zhong did not tell Hu Xiuwu these things.

He always believes that children should behave like children and do not need to understand the conspiracies and calculations of the adult world.

After everyone changed into protective clothing, Hu Xiuwu used talismans to connect everyone together to prevent anyone from getting lost in the thick white miasma.

This "someone" refers specifically to Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang.

Lao Meng directed the green-scaled python to open a path at the front, following the footsteps of the Yaoxianhui, and walking deeper into the white miasma.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hu Xiuwu’s eyes finally no longer looked cloudy and misty.

The scene in front of me became clear again, as if I had switched back to Blu-ray from standard definition.

They have walked out of the white miasma and entered the interior of the Worm Valley.

Lao Meng observed for a while and found that there was no poisonous miasma here, so he motioned for everyone to open the hoods of the protective suits.

In the hot and humid environment of the South, wearing this outfit is really a torture.

After seeing Lao Meng take off his mask, others couldn't wait to open the mask and zipper.

Wang Kaixuan was covered in sweat. He quickly took out the kettle and drank some water:

"Oh my God, it's too hot here. It's even more uncomfortable than the summer in Forty-Nine City."

Hu Bayi had the experience of guarding the border in the southwest, but he adapted faster than Wang Kaixuan:

"It's not because of your fat body. We are all just wearing protective clothing, but you also have a leather jacket underneath. If you don't care, who will?"

"Huh, this is Fatty's blessing. You want something you don't have yet."

Wang Kaixuan patted his belly and said proudly to Hu Bayi.

Mr. Liao interrupted their bickering: "Now that we have emerged from the white miasma, we should not be far from where Enkuan and the others discovered Zhenlingpu. Let's keep moving forward."

After hearing Liao Zhong's words, the two stopped bickering and got down to business first.

Wang Kaixuan took out the machete behind him, walked to the front of the team, and cleared the way for everyone, who continued to go deeper into the Worm Valley.

Suddenly, the upper body of the green-scaled python stood up, opened its bloody mouth, and roared silently.

Lao Meng comforted the green-scaled python,

Liao Zhong asked Lao Meng: "What's wrong? Why did this long worm suddenly become like this?"

Lao Meng said: "Maybe there was something in front of it that stimulated it."

After hearing Lao Meng's words, Hu Xiuwu followed the roaring direction of the python.

He pushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him,

The first thing I saw was the wreckage of an airplane. The outer shell of the airplane was covered with rust, the nose of the airplane was stuck on the ground, and there were some brand new silver fractures on it.

There were two large uprooted banyan trees next to the plane. Where the old trees fell to the ground, the soil showed a crimson color, as if soaked with some kind of liquid.

Liao Zhong came from behind Hu Xiuwu and saw this scene, and suddenly realized:

"It seems that we have arrived at the place where Yaoxianhui and others found the mausoleum genealogy and the coffin where the king was sacrificed."

Hu Xiuwu approached the wreckage of the plane and found a decomposed eagle owl carcass next to the plane.

He turned toward the banyan tree to see what was going on here, but his feet suddenly slipped.

I looked down and saw that there was a bronze mirror hidden under the fallen leaves.

Wang Kaixuan followed Hu Bayi with his knife in hand. When he saw Hu Xiuwu bending down to pick up something, he shouted to him:

"Xiuwu, what did you find?"

Hu Xiuwu threw the bronze mirror in his hand to Wang Kaixuan.

Wang Kaixuan hugged the bronze mirror, rubbed the mirror surface, and discovered a circle of exquisite patterns surrounding the mirror surface. He was instantly excited:

"This is a good thing. Those bastards really don't know anything about it."

"Maybe it's something better, but it's been taken away, and there's no place to put it."

Hu Xiuwu said smoothly.

Enkuan and the others carried a jade coffin and the burial objects inside, not even letting go of the poisonous insects inside.

It's not unusual to throw down a mirror.
