This is what cultivating immortals is like

Wang Tong and his entourage entered the passage first. Then, Zhao Xiayang waved his hand, and the Qingshui Sect disciples followed closely. More than 20 soldiers and horses were strong. It was not until they all disappeared behind the curtain of light that the remaining people made any move.

The middle-aged scholar was afraid of Commander Wang's deep scheming, and was worried that Zhao Xiayang's numbers were overwhelming, so he temporarily roped in a few lone rangers so that they could join a group to keep each other warm and take care of each other.

Lu Bei and She Zhang declined the middle-aged scholar's proposal to form a team. It was indeed safer in large numbers, but comparing their feelings with each other, they felt that what the middle-aged scholar needed was not teammates, but cannon fodder to ward off disasters.

There was an uninvited guest behind the tunnel. The two of them did not dare to delay and stepped into the water curtain at the end of the tunnel one after another.

Suddenly, it was pitch black ahead. She Zhang held the luminous bead and could not illuminate all directions. She only knew that she was in a huge cave.

"There is no way back. Was that a teleportation formation just now?" Lu Bei took a few steps back and failed to jump repeatedly in the water curtain.

"should be."

She Yan frowned and put away the luminous beads, his golden snake eyes flashed with strange colors, sniffing the undetectable smell in the air, and led Lu Bei to walk quickly to the right.

Without the luminous beads for illumination, the phosphate rock fragments on the cave walls glowed little by little, giving people the feeling of looking up at the stars even though they were underground.

Lu Bei followed She Zhang and walked into a winding tunnel. The cave was dark and lightless. He raised his hand and put it on She Zhang's shoulder to prevent a sudden crisis and being unable to sacrifice his teammates immediately.

She Zhang didn't know what Lu Bei was thinking, so he subconsciously put his hand on her shoulder when he was blind in the dark.

"Aunt Snake, you are an old tomb robber. Analyze what is going on in this mine."

Lu Beiqi said: "There is a mine outside the teleportation array. It can be said that it was done by local gangs seeking money. The array is already on the edge of the tomb. Why are there still obvious signs of excavation?"

"Maybe it was a hole made by a robber, or maybe it was dug by someone who was buried with him..."

She Zhang gave two answers that she didn't quite believe, and then fell silent. Ever since she learned that she had been plotted by Commander Wang and became one of the five keys to the door, she had a vague feeling of ominous premonition.

Since Commander Wang could confirm her bloodline as a demon cultivator, he could naturally find out her true identity. She felt lonely wearing the human skin mask and was in a terrible mood.

Lu Bei was about to say something when suddenly there was flowing air coming from the front, and along with the humid air came several shrill screams.

Lu Bei did not hesitate, held the knife in his hand, and followed She Zhang to quickly search for the source of the sound.

The light and shadow are blurred, and a huge space that has been dormant underground for many years comes into view.

At a height of 100 meters, under the blue Qionghai hood, the water waves were rolling under the current. The light passed through it, and a few swimming fish could be vaguely seen. Looking at the body shape, the size of each one was amazing. Without exception, Lin Yu was ecstatic. level of water monster.

Under the blue sky, the square ground is covered with neat stone slabs, with one hundred and eight stone pillars distributed in an array. A pyramid-shaped building is in the center, and there are four ditches connected to the border moat, dividing the entire underground area. into four pieces.

"The sky is round and the earth is round, guarded by four spirits, scattered all over the place, spiritual veins gathering in the river..."

Lu Bei was dumbfounded and tightened his hand on She Zhang's shoulder: "For such a large-scale mausoleum, I believe it is the tomb of Emperor Qingqian. Did we open the wrong teleportation array?"

She Yan also looked at the pyramid building that looked like a giant beast in surprise. Her shoulders ached and she woke up. She frowned and slapped Lu Bei's claws away.

"Be gentle, don't you know how strong you are?"

"You know, try it and see if you're dreaming."

She Zhang was silent and looked at Lu Bei with snake eyes. The latter was also silent. After a moment, they both spoke at the same time: "What do you think?"

The size of the tomb is not something that ordinary members of the royal family can enjoy. It can be called a relic. The owner of the tomb must have a distinguished status in Qingqian. The mechanisms and formations in the relic are not something that the two of them can easily try.

Lu Bei didn't want to take risks, and neither did She Zhang. They backed down at the same time, waiting for the other party to give in first and then follow the trend.

Just after the two of them made a tacit understanding and finalized the plan to return the same way, a new problem posed before them.

Where is the road?

The teleportation array is one-way, you can only go in and out, and you can't find the exit if you want to retreat.

"There's nothing we can do. Let's take another look. We're just outside, not going in."

Lu Bei pointed at the pyramid in the distance, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "I heard that after the fall of Qingqian, the imperial tombs located in Wuzhou were protected by garrison, and no one was allowed to steal and explore, even the Zhu family themselves. No, is it possible that we are one of them?"

There are unspoken rules for the succession of dynasties. The imperial mausoleums of previous generations are forbidden areas and must be properly protected.

Firstly, respecting others means respecting oneself. Secondly, no one will be able to do it a hundred years later. Once a precedent is set, if you poach others today, others will poach you tomorrow.

"Impossible, you really think that."

She Yan shook his head: "The garrison and protection are just superficial words. Anyway, I don't believe it. I suspect that the people buried in the big tomb in front of me are fake and the treasures are real. It is impossible for the Zhu family not to be tempted. The ruins are still well preserved, so they must not have been tampered with by anyone." Found it.”

"That's good."

Lu Bei breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really afraid that when I find a way out, I'll be facing the military camp. Dozens of siege artillery and crossbows will fire in volleys. I can't stop you if I push you forward."

She Zhang: "..."

She rolled her eyes and strode towards the pyramid.

Lu Bei hurriedly followed, stepping on the footprints left by She Zhang, and the two entered the Four Spirit Formation. Within a moment, they saw two corpses next to a coiled snake flower column.

The screams before came from them.

Their exposed skin was dark purple and black, their orifices were bleeding, their facial expressions were ferocious, and their limbs were twisted. One look at them showed that they had experienced great pain before they died.

"Pity."

Lu Bei shook his head. The Qiankun bag was right in front of him but he couldn't pick it up.

"They died from snake kisses. The poison beads are useless. If you don't want to die, stick with me."

She Yan reminded Lu Beidao that she smelled the smell of snakes in the air just after leaving the teleportation array. Sure enough, except for the ruins being a bit bigger and the risk higher, and the layout of the Four Spirit Array being a bit grander, the other aspects were not much different from what she expected. .

When Lu Bei heard this, the chicken pecked the rice and took two steps towards She Zhang. The latter transformed into a snake tail and exuded the same kind of aura. He walked through the stone pillars without any danger.

Halfway through the journey, the coiled snake style hissed softly, and thin black-scaled snakes crawled out from the hollow stone pillars. These venomous snakes were half a meter long and twenty centimeters short. They had red stripes on their foreheads, their black scales shone with metallic cold light, and their red letters were like fire. After a while, they were densely packed all over the ground, and there were thousands of them gathered.

[Side mission: Defeat the King Snake Formation, reward 100,000 experience points]

Lu Bei felt a chill on the back of his neck, and took two steps closer to She Zhang again. It was also a snake, but the one next to him was much warmer.

"Get out of the way, don't get so close!"

She Yan's face was full of disgust, and she took a step away from Lu Bei. Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and her own aura could not confuse the surrounding poisonous snakes, she raised her wrist and raised it high.

The golden bracelet swam away, and the little golden-scaled snake stood in She Zhang's palm with its head held high. As it spat out the message in a leisurely manner, the black poisonous snakes dispersed in pieces, and poured back into the stone pillars like a tide.

"Aunt Snake, you haven't replied to me when I asked you last time. Can I touch this snake?" Lu Bei's eyes lit up. If he had known that this snake had a prominent status, he would have fed it more times along the way.

"Okay, but let's talk about it later. It's none of my business if you die. You asked for it."

"Then please tell Sister Snake that if you are burned into soup one day, let him come to Sanqing Peak to find me. If Lu has a stutter, he will never starve." Lu Bei said seriously.

"Don't worry, if I still have one breath before I die, you won't be able to live alone!"

"Hey, it smells so earthy."
