Xu Chen thought of this and immediately comforted Caiyun.

"Since there is a waterway that is feasible, we will take the waterway"

"Don't worry, although we are drug dealers, we are not powerless."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he gave Miss Hong a look.

The two of them showed off their twenty-ring German box cannons and flying knives.

"We brought quick guns and explosives in our luggage."

"Also proficient in medicinal properties"

"You can definitely cross Zhelong Mountain"

"If I meet your brother, no matter life or death, I will find a way to bring him back~"

After Xu Chen finished speaking, Caiyun looked excited.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up,"I want to go with you too!"

Xu Chen quickly grabbed Caiyun,"No, your mother has just recovered and needs someone to take care of her now."

"Just take us to the river leading to Zhelong Mountain"

"Leave the rest to us"

"There's just one thing. We went to the valley behind Zhelong Mountain to find elixirs. We couldn't return in a few days."

"You have to wait patiently, we will definitely turn back in ten and a half days."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, Caiyun looked at her mother and nodded with tears in her eyes.

The three of them determined the direction and spent the night repairing at Caiyun's house.

Early the next morning, Caiyun had prepared a lot of dry food and glutinous rice cakes for the three of them. Things like salty spicy seeds and bacon and dried meat.

After breakfast, I immediately took Xu Chen, Miss Hong and Hua Ling to walk along the mountain road.

After about half an hour, I finally came to a tall bamboo forest.

At the end of the bamboo forest was a green road The river looks like a gentle flow.

Caiyun pointed to the river and said,"Follow this river downstream for about four or five miles, and you will reach the foot of Zhelong Mountain."

"The water channel at the foot of the mountain has an opening about one foot wide."

"Just follow the opening and you can get in."

"You can build a bamboo raft here and go in when you are ready."

After Xu Chen heard this, he asked Caiyun to go home and take care of her mother.

Caiyun reluctantly waved goodbye to Xu Chen and others.

Xu Chen looked at the river and bamboo forest in front of him. Lao Hu and others had indeed entered all of this. The sense of déjà vu in Insect Valley.

Xu Chen immediately arranged the work.

Let the flower spirit light the fire, and the red girl chopped the rattan. Xu Chen carried the Po Yue Knife into the bamboo forest to chop the bamboo.

After the bamboo was chopped, it must be roasted on the fire first.

After that, they were carefully tied with rattan and the ropes and wires brought by the three people.

The bamboos in Yunnan are extremely thick and strong enough to be used as beams and bamboo spears. It is still very strong when used to tie bamboo rafts.

But Xu Chen knew that Zha Due to the danger at the foot of Longshan Mountain, it was better for Hong girl and Hua Ling to tie up the bamboo raft. After the bamboo raft was set up, Xu Chen immediately took Hong girl and Hua Ling to carry supplies and go down the river.

The river seemed to be flowing slowly, but In fact, the flow rate is very fast.

It only takes a stick of incense to see the place where the river meets the mountain in front.

On the dark blue Zhelong Mountain rock wall, a triangular cave appears.

Above the cave, you can still vaguely see I saw the facial features of a giant beast.

The eyes, ears, and nose were vaguely visible.

The mouth was the dark hole underneath. It felt like this giant beast was going to devour everything that entered the Zhelong Mountain.

Xu Chen's eyes flashed There was a faint golden light.

With the divine eye, one could vaguely see bursts of strange aura emanating from the entrance of the cave.

Finally, the bamboo raft entered the cave.

After entering the cave, the space instantly became smaller.

The light suddenly The sky darkened.

Xu Chen also heard bursts of thunder coming from far outside the cave.

But it was extremely quiet inside the cave.

The inner bay of the cave seemed like two worlds.

Xu Chen immediately asked the flower spirits to light two lanterns at the head and tail of the bamboo raft.

The lanterns The light was steady, but very weak.

It seemed that it could only illuminate the lantern itself.

The bamboo raft seemed to be floating in the dark and cold Styx.

Miss Hong and Xu Chen lit the pine branch torches they had prepared. It suddenly became brighter.

With the help of the torch With the bright light, Xu Chen could immediately see clearly what was going on inside the surrounding caves.

This cave was obviously naturally formed.

There were beautiful and strange stalactites everywhere. They looked like beasts, flowers, giant elephants, rhinos, cranes and rabbits....

Under the water, you can also see some small fish and shrimps.

Because the light in the cave is dim, some of the eyes of these small fish and shrimps have degenerated, and they look strange.

They look like insects.

Red Girl and Hua Ling The two of them were mostly active in the provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi.

They had seen various caves and underground rivers.

However, such magnificent caves as those under Zhelong Mountain were still rare.

The two of them saw something novel.

Xu Chen kept observing. Looking at the surrounding scene.

If I remember correctly, there are forks in the underground river under Zhelong Mountain.

Sure enough, after the bamboo raft floated in the underground river for half an hour, the front became darker and darker.

Xu Chen could vaguely Seeing a strange and sinister atmosphere emerging from the left side of the cave.

The other side was cold and full of resentment, which felt much more normal.

Xu Chen immediately asked the red girl holding the bamboo pole to slightly adjust the direction of the bamboo raft, to the left Move sideways.

After a while, the sound of water coming from the front became louder and louder.

There was obviously a drop, and the water flow became more turbulent.

Xu Chen raised the torch.

Suddenly he saw a huge ball appearing on the top of the cave not far ahead.

The color of the ball is dark red.

It is completely different from the surrounding dark golden cave ceilings and gray-white stalactites.

Behind this huge red stone ball is the head of a giant beast that looks like a lion or a tiger.

This shape is completely artificially carved.

It is impossible for naturally formed stalactites to be so powerful and lifelike.

The liger-like stone beast opened its huge mouth, as if it was about to leap out of the underground river and swallow the red stone ball above.

In the mouth of the giant beast is a slope-like waterway.

The water here sets off white waves, like a waterfall, and the flow speed becomes very turbulent.

The whole thing looks like an entrance to the underworld.

Xu Chen's celestial eye has the ability to see things in the dark. At this time, he could vaguely see behind this strange entrance.

There were actually many figures hanging upside down.

They were like hanging ghosts, shaking slightly in the dark cave.

Even the brave Xu Chen felt his scalp numb after seeing it.

Xu Chen immediately shouted,"Be careful! Keep your balance."

Under the control of Miss Hong, the bamboo raft suddenly rushed towards the rapid slope.

There was a violent jolt.

Fortunately, the bamboo raft built by Xu Chen and others is still very strong.

Before coming to Worm Valley this time, Xu Chen specially bought some steel wire at a high price in the provincial capital.

Not only were these items expensive back then, they were also uncommon and could not be purchased in small places. (If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Add the cane I got nearby.

The strength of the bamboo raft is quite good.

Rushing down the slope, it didn't fall apart.

After rushing down, Xu Chen found that the water flow in front suddenly became gentle.

The waterways are not as natural as before, but have become very neat.

Less than a foot wide, straight forward.

The sound is not as noisy as before, it is much quieter.

Hua Ling took a breath and kept patting her chest.

"I was scared to death just now. The hole looked like a monster. I felt like I was being swallowed."

Miss Hong is more mature after all. After looking around, she immediately said,"Master Xu, this place seems to have been dug manually. Natural waterways cannot be so neat."

Xu Chen nodded,"This should be the canal dug when King Xian built the tomb."

When many major projects were built in ancient times, they relied on the transportation capacity of canals.

It is said that when Qin Shihuang built the imperial mausoleum, he dug canals and used the Wei River to transport stones and wood.

At that time, there was a saying that"the Ganquan Mouth is used to transport stones, and the Wei River does not flow""The ballad.

Although King Xian was just an emperor who was not seen in the history books, the scale of the tomb was unusually huge. He actually dug a canal to help build the tomb.

Red Girl and Hualing also moved mountains and unloaded mountains. Born, he naturally knew what this meant.

They were all amazed.

At this time, Xu Chen's attention had been attracted by the figure shaking above his head.[]

He held the torch high in his hand.

The height above the head is only about two or three feet.

Moving forward along the river, there are densely packed figures above.

If you look carefully, you can see that they are the same stone Buddhas that a few people saw on the edge of the Tea Horse Road.

These stone Buddhas are hung on the ceiling of the cave with copper chains.

Thanks to the air flow brought by the water flow, it is still shaking slightly.

It looks extremely scary.

But looking at these stone Buddhas now, they are even more weird.

All the stone figurines have their hands behind their backs.

There are also traces of binding.

The surface is also extremely gray, showing a black-green color that is only found on rotting corpses.

All the facial features are blurred, and the surface is covered with a layer of something that looks like mold.

"It's strange, these stone figures don't look like Buddha, why are they old, young, fat and thin?"Miss Hong had already seen the problem and asked immediately.

Hua Ling also said at this time,"I heard from my senior brother before that the human figurines in the Qin and Han Dynasties were all sergeant figurines or hundreds of opera figurines, and they were all uniform in shape."

"The human figurines here appear to be of all shapes and sizes, dressed in different ways, and there are even children. They don't look like stone statues of soldiers and actors, but more like... living people!"

When Hua Ling said this, he was obviously frightened by his own words, and his face turned pale.

Xu Chen nodded when he heard Hua Ling's words,"You are right, these stone Buddhas are not stone figurines, but Made from living people."

After hearing Xu Chen's words, both Miss Hong and Hua Ling opened their eyes wide.

Obviously they couldn't believe it.

The densely packed stone Buddhas above the canal were all made of this kind of stone Buddha.

If they were made by living people, the canal alone would be... Those who sacrificed themselves for the king’s burial are more than successfulThousands!

Xu Chen pulled out the Po Yue Knife, pointed to a fallen stone Buddha on the bank of the canal in front of him, and said,"Let's go over and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Miss Hong immediately used her pennant to control the bamboo raft and slowly approached the canal. side.

Xu Chen immediately jumped to the shore and used the moon-breaking knife to peel off the skin on the surface of the human figurine.

It was indeed filled with dried dead maggots and insect eggs.

When Red Girl and Hua Ling saw it from a distance, they felt very horrible and disgusting.

"Brother Xu, I have seen many people buried in ancient tombs, but why did King Xian make people into human figurines and hang them upside down? Doing so would be a waste of manpower and material resources and is unreasonable."

Miss Hong has been to many tombs with Xiling Lishi, and has extraordinary experience. She immediately saw the problem.

"King Xian killed these slaves and prisoners of war not just for burial."Xu Chen replied immediately

"Not for burial? why?"Hua Ling asked curiously

"Trouble!"

Xu Chen has returned to the bamboo raft at this time.

At the same time, he quietly summoned the Six-Winged Queen and Black Pipa.

The two demon pets crawled on the nearby rock wall and followed Xu Chen and others on the bamboo raft.

"What is the magic technique? Is it a kind of voodoo?"Hua Ling is relatively familiar with voodoo. In Jinfeng Village, he had contact with Lan Fenghuang, who was familiar with herbal medicine and was good at voodoo for a while. He immediately associated the voodoo technique with voodoo.

Xu Chen shook his head,"The voodoo technique is not a voodoo. technique"

"The art of evil is much older than the art of voodoo. It is a strange evil art originating from Tibet."

"To describe it accurately, it is a kind of evil magic that converts the pain and resentment of people before death into other forms of energy."

Xu Chen explained.

Miss Hong and Hua Ling half understood.

But Xu Chen didn't force it.

King Xian's evil technique is quite weird and complicated, and it's really not easy to understand. Just do it and it's done.

Xu Chen At this time, the red girl and Hua Ling have been asked to move closer to the middle of the bamboo raft.

Just light the torch and hold it up for lighting.

Although the red girl and Hua Ling don't know what is going to happen, they still listen.Xu Chen's instructions.

At the same time, both of them also took out their cannons and moved them anywhere at any time.

At this time, the bamboo raft going down the river seemed to have hit something.

There was a sharp jolt.

The bodies of Miss Hong and Hua Ling both swayed a bit before regaining their balance.

Miss Hong immediately asked,"Mr. Xu, did we hit some mechanism?"
