Liao Zhong ordered everyone to retreat to the front hall.

For some reason, Hu Bayi suddenly turned back, ran on top of the Jade Dragon that was spitting out mercury, and slammed the wall with the handle of his submachine gun.

He actually smashed a big hole in the wall, and there was a mezzanine behind the wall, and there was a jade box inside.

Hu Bayi pulled the submachine gun to his back, reached out and took out the jade letter from the wall, and stuffed it into his arms.

After this set of movements, Hu Bayi wasted a lot of time, and the mercury leaked to the ground, paving the entire apse.

Hu Bayi had no place to stay and could only hang on Yulong's body, not knowing how to act.

When he was hesitating, Hu Xiuwu controlled the talisman to wrap around his waist, one after another, entwining each other to form a long rope.

Hu Xiuwu tugged on the talisman and pulled Hu Bayi out of the back hall. At this time, the mercury steam filled the entire Lingyun Palace.

After putting on the gas mask, Hu Xiuwu pulled Hu Bayi out of the front hall.

The others were dragged away by Liao Zhong. Wang Kaixuan originally wanted to stay and rescue Hu Bayi with Hu Xiuwu, but Hu Xiuwu persuaded him to leave.

Hu Xiuwu took Hu Bayi to the square in front of Lingyun Palace and met everyone.

Seeing that Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi were back, Wang Kaixuan hurriedly rushed to Hu Bayi:

"Lao Hu, you're worried about me to death. You're crazy. You suddenly ran back to a room full of mercury. Have you had enough?"

Shirley Yang also hurried over to check Hu Bayi's physical condition.

Seeing that everyone cared about him, Hu Bayi felt warm and felt that the risk was not in vain:

"I wasn't thinking that there was something wrong with the mechanism set up by King Xian. If there was nothing in Lingyun Palace, then there would be no need for him to set up this self-destruct device, so I took a gamble."

"I tried the area that I thought was the most problematic, and to my surprise, I actually found something."

Hu Bayi took out the jade letter he found from the wall just now.

This jade letter is made of fine mutton-fat jade, and the gaps are sealed with beeswax.

The front of the jade letter is engraved with a picture of an immortal receiving the invitation, and a black snake surrounding the jade letter is carved around it. The black snake has only one eye on its head and is carved to look like a Muchen bead.

This jade letter can be said to be priceless. The things in this jade letter must be of great significance to King Xian.

Now that Lingyun Palace has been destroyed, they have not yet found the real tomb of King Xian, and no one or monster is chasing them.

There was plenty of time, so Liao Zhong decided to open the jade letter right here to see if there were any clues inside.

Hu Bayi used a knife to cut open the beeswax and carefully opened the jade cover.

The inside of the jade box is lined with clouded leopard skin with dark cloud patterns to prevent the contents of the jade box from being bumped.

What was placed inside was not a treasure like a three-eyed toad, but an ordinary tortoise shell with ancient inscriptions engraved on it.

There is still a fragrance on the tortoise shell, and it seems that King Xian specially embalmed the tortoise shell.

Shirley Yang was a little disappointed. When she saw the Muchen beads carved on the jade letter, she thought the Muchen beads were inside, but it turned out to be an ordinary tortoise shell.

She could vaguely realize now that her grandfather, Guo Shao, after going through a lot of hardships in Heishui City, Xixia, thought he could find the Muchen Bead to solve the curse.

In the end, I still feel hopeless and despairing when I still get nothing.

The big golden tooth is not here, and now only Hu Xiuwu and Shirley Yang are still here who still understand the ancient Chinese. No matter how disappointed Xueli Yang is, he can only pack his mind and see if there are any new clues on the tortoise shell.

Hu Bayi handed the tortoise shell full of words to Hu Xiuwu. Shirley Yang and Hu Xiuwu came to the side to study the contents on the tortoise shell.

It's strange that the tortoise shell only mentioned the beginning, "The Muchen Bead fell into the hands of King Xian."

The rest of the story is all about a dream that King Xian had after he obtained the Muchen Bead.

He dreamed that a giant snake that covered the sky emerged from the desert and flew into the sky.

The body of this giant snake can cover the sky, and its eyes can penetrate into the underworld and see through the past and future.

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

King Xian regarded this dream as the ancient god's revelation to him. From that day on, he became a believer of the snake god. He wanted to follow the snake god and gain the power of immortality.

He originally wanted to find the desert where the snake god was born in his dream, so he ordered his high priest to conduct 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 Jingjue Ancient City, Hui Erye could also predict good or bad luck for him, but after he found Jingjue Ancient City and got involved with the ghost cave.

Second Master Hui has no choice but to perform divination on Hu Bayi again.

The same goes for the high priest. When he tried to ask the secret of the ghost cave in the interior scene, he was backlashed, died in the divination ceremony, and was swallowed by the secret of the snake god.

King Xian spent his whole life looking for the ghost cave, but even until his death, he still failed to find the ghost cave.

After listening to Hu Xiuwu and Shirley Yang’s answers to Turtle Shell.

Liao Zhong crossed his arms and said: "King Xian hasted so much effort just to hide a dream? Doesn't he want to become an immortal? Why is he so persistent in the ghost cave?"

Hu Xiuwu said: "Maybe in his opinion, as long as you find the ghost cave, you can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal."

"Alas, it turns out that there is still no clue to the king's tomb in this jade letter."

"No, there are clues."

Hu Bayi's voice came from behind everyone,

I don't know when, 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.

"Fat man, Xue Li, come here and see what it looks like down there."

Hu Bayi said while looking at the lake at the bottom of the valley.

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

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

The cold pool is clear, and there is a faint black vortex at the bottom of the pool. You can also vaguely see at the bottom of the pool, on the edge of the black vortex, there are several outlines like giant fingers of alien beasts.

Like a giant claw stretching out from the abyss, it grasps the black vortex in the center.

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

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

"Yes, I think so too, and after listening to Xue Li and Xiu Wu's translation of the tortoise shell, I feel that King Xian's tomb is probably under this pool."

"King Xian has been searching all his life but has not found the ghost cave. He probably buried himself in the ghost cave in order to satisfy his wish."

Hu Bayi expressed his guess.

Wang Kaixuan probed his head, glanced down, and immediately retracted:

"No, we have to go down. It's not easy to come up."

Liao Zhong hugged Wang Kaixuan and held him on his waist: "Ha, we finally found the clue. If you don't go and take a look, you kid can't even think of becoming a deserter."
