"This should be the place, let's go."

Chen Wenxuan exhaled and walked towards the temple.

It took more than half a month to get here, and he finally arrived.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a hint of red appeared in his eyes.

It was another red gourd, embedded in the cliff wall. Judging from the size, it was the other half of the red gourd he had seen before.

"Entrance...."

Chen Wenxuan just took a look and walked towards the front hall of the temple.

If I remember correctly, the mechanism to open the entrance is in the temple.

The door of the front hall had long been rotten and damaged, and it fell down completely with just a slight push.

Looking around, I saw that the front hall was already full of weeds and vines, all of which were creeping in from the outside of a collapsed wall.

There is a statue in the center of the hall. The statue has an expressionless face, eyes slightly closed, and a black robe carved on his body."Seven Nine Three" gives people a feeling of coldness and majesty.

Around the statue, there are two mountain ghost statues. These two mountain ghosts are Yakshas with green faces and fangs.

One holds a small red gourd, and the other holds a small toad.

Looking at this dilapidated mountain temple, Chen Yulou sighed.

"The mountain god is also a deity that protects the area and should have enjoyed incense and offerings, but this mountain god temple has been abandoned to such an extent."

"It's really a matter of time. Even the mountain gods have such a hard time, let alone the common people in troubled times."

"The same principle applies to both success and failure."

"Mr. Chen, do you want to offer sacrifices?"

Listening to Chen Yulou's sigh, Queqiao Shao laughed jokingly.

If Chen Yulou wanted to worship the mountain god, then he would follow suit.

He did not believe in gods, Buddhas, and destiny, but this trip was one of great misfortune and great joy. Paying a salute to the mountain god for good luck might make the journey smoother in the future. Chen

Yulou shook his head and said,"I have important matters to attend to, so I won't offer sacrifices."

After that, Chen Yulou bowed to the statue of the mountain god.

"Lord Mountain God, if we can return safely this time, we will definitely give you a mud-cleaning ritual and repair your house."

Seeing Chen Yulou saluting, Queqiao Shao and others also followed suit.

It doesn't matter if it works or not, as long as the intention is satisfied.

After paying respect to the Mountain God, the leading team walked towards the back hall.

This back hall is much narrower than the front hall. There is a emerald stone screen at the entrance. After going around the screen, you can enter the back hall.

At the end of the back hall, there are nine stone statues of small toads arranged horizontally, with auspicious cloud crane pillars under their feet.

"Wenxuan, these nine toads represent the Nine Bends and Turns?"

Chen Yulou's eyes lit up as soon as he saw them. Aren't these nine toads corresponding to the Nine Bends and Turns?

Nine stone toads, some with their mouths open and some with their mouths closed, and their heads were facing different directions.

There were some small stone grooves on the mouths and feet of the toads, and it was obvious that these toads could be rotated through those stone grooves to adjust their mouths and positions.

This was obviously a mechanism.

Not only the position had to be adjusted, but also the mouth had to be adjusted. It was very difficult to adjust all nine toads correctly.

Mechanisms like this usually have rotation restrictions. If the position is not correct within a few times, the mechanism will be completely locked.

"Yes, this is the number of the nine turns."

"The simplest solution is to remember the number of bends along the way and the direction of opening and closing."

"For example, this temple represents the ninth toad. The temple faces south, which represents welcoming. The toad should be placed facing south with its mouth open."

"The previously broken worm path was inside the city wall, facing away from the worm valley, which meant it was facing south and north, indicating that the gate was closed......"

As Chen Wenxuan explained, he arranged the nine stone toads according to the nine curves based on what he had seen before and his understanding of Feng Shui.

"The entrance to the cave is here!"

Just as Chen Wenxuan arranged the nine toads into nine curved positions, a loud shout rang out from outside.

""Let's go."

Hearing the shouts outside, Chen Wenxuan raised his lips and ran out first. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Just as he thought, when he arrived at the front hall, the red gourd that was embedded in the cliff wall had indeed cracked.

After the gourd cracked, it fell to the ground, revealing a stone door opened on the rock wall.

The stone door was built into the shape of a toad's mouth, short and flat, with a large copper ring on the upper and lower parts for lifting.

A group of brothers surrounded the stone door, looking like they wanted to open it but didn't dare to.

"This should be the tomb door, open it directly!"

As Chen Wenxuan gave the order, two tall and strong brothers immediately walked out of the crowd.

One of them held a copper ring, lifted it and pressed it, and with a bang, the stone door opened, revealing a narrow passage.

Chen Wenxuan lit two torches and threw them into the passage.........

The firelight broke through the darkness, and one could see countless huge bones and tusks at the bottom of the passage, a large elephant sacrifice trench.

With the light of the fire, one could also see a hole on each side of the passage.

The hole looked very rough, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a robbery hole.

Walking down the stone steps, one could see some flashes of water waves and even hear a lot of dripping water.

"We're here!"

After taking a quick look at the scene inside,

Chen Wenxuan was sure that he had taken the right path. Going inside was the Tomb of King Xian!

Going down the stone steps, he could reach the first level.

The first level was the Gourd Cave, which contained thousands of corpses and an ancient water worm.

But.......These are all minor problems.

There are about 180 to 190 people entering the mountain this time, and most of them are equipped with submachine guns.

The corpse is not an old zongzi, and its physical strength is no different from that of ordinary people. A volley of bullets can turn it into a sieve.

The water worm is similar. A gun can hurt its flesh and blood. A concentrated fire will send it directly to the sky.

"There is a waterway below."

At this time, Chen Yulou also saw the situation in the passage clearly, turned around and ordered

"Make more torches, bring all the centipede ladders, and then expand the cave."

We haven't walked much since we got up in the morning, but everyone is full of energy and spirit.

There is no need to rest anymore, the main thing is to prepare the things for going to the tomb. 4.1 After repairing outside the cave entrance for more than ten minutes, we packed up our equipment.

Without wasting any more time, we entered the passage.

The holes on both sides of the passage were roughly dug at the entrance, but the inside of the cave was neat. The inside was built with large pieces of bluestone, which was very flat, but there was still an earth wall at the end, and there was nothing in the cave. It should be an unfinished burial pit.

Going down a little further, the space gradually opened up.

The stone steps also became suspended steps at this time.

The position under the stone steps changed from a sloping ground to a large pit, which was filled with various bones, mostly elephant bones, and some horse bones, cattle bones and other animal bones.

A row of stone pillars stood up from the burial pit, supporting the stone steps under everyone's feet.

Walking on the stone steps at this time really felt like stepping on a sea of corpses.
