Wang Kaixuan murmured as he looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Xue Li Yang and Liao Zhong were knowledgeable and were the first to react.
King Xian's palace was not built in the sky. He simply built it on a cliff, which is based on the same principle as the famous Hanging Temple.
After listening to Xue Liyang's introduction, everyone suddenly understood.
Lao Meng was puzzled and asked, "This King Xian is just a small king on the border. His national strength is limited. Even if the whole country was mobilized, the ancient Dian Kingdom would not be able to build such a huge palace, right? How did he do it?"
Although it is not as magical as a palace suspended in the air, building such a magnificent palace on the cliff is also a huge project. I wonder how much manpower and material resources it would have consumed.
Even if all the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom were mobilized at that time, it would be difficult to accomplish this task.
Before Lao Meng joined the team, Hua Feng only told him that the purpose of this operation was to find the Zhuchen Pearl in King Xian's tomb.
However, Hua Feng did not tell him the specific effects of the Zhuchen Pearl.
Hu Xiuwu had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
If the Zhuochen Pearl they are looking for this time really has the ability to transform a person.
If King Xian can really do all this, then this Lingyun Fairy Palace can be regarded as evidence that the Zhuchen Pearl is in King Xian's hands.
"Let's go, the destination is within sight."
Liao Zhong said this while holding a cigarette that he had lit at some unknown time.
·····
A group of people came out of Hulu Cave and walked along the plank road outside that was obviously built by humans. They walked carefully along the cliff plank road, and Hongxia was stepped on by them.
They finally arrived at the Ming Tower built by King Xian, and the Zhuchen Pearl was already within reach.
Shirley Yang looked extremely excited. This was the closest the Zaklama tribe had ever been to breaking the curse within the tribe.
The Lingyun Palace built by King Xian was extremely luxurious. On the wall of the main hall was a painting of King Xian riding a dragon and ascending to heaven.
There was a strange six-legged cauldron placed in the center of the hall. Wang Kaixuan pushed open the mouth of the cauldron, climbed up and took a look. He found that there was a cooked corpse of a barbarian inside.
Wang Kaixuan took several steps back in disgust: "Oh my god, this Prince Xian is too dirty, he wants to become an immortal even with this."
Before Hu Bayi could reply, a woman's laughter suddenly rang out in the empty hall.
The laughter is intermittent and elusive. It is sharp but not harsh, just like a lover in love acting coquettishly to you, which makes people think of some wild thoughts.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan quickly raised their guns, and Lao Meng and Hu Xiuwu also pricked up their ears to listen, looking for the source of the sound.
Another gust of wind came, and laughter appeared again.
This sound is weird! Laughter has the power to disturb people's thoughts and can lead people unconsciously.
Shirley Yang, who had the lowest resistance to magic, had a somewhat distracted look in her eyes.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan's hands holding the guns also hesitated, feeling that the voice came from the person closest to them and they should listen to her.
Hu Xiuwu, who practiced the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts, had the highest resistance to this kind of bewitching technique.
My heart is as strong as iron and indestructible.
Facing the seductive voice in his ears, Hu Xiuwu protected his mind, rushed to the back hall of Lingyun Palace with quick steps, and found the source of the laughter behind the screen wall in the back hall.
A female corpse in red hanging from a beam. It is not accurate to say it is a female corpse.
Hu Xiuwu approached the female corpse and found that only the head was left, with only an empty red robe below the neck.
The hair on the female corpse's head had been shaved off, and a soul-soothing talisman was carved on her crown.
When air flows in the hall, the female corpse will open its mouth and make seductive and lewd sounds.
Hu Xiuwu threw the three corpse needles from his lower back and hit the female corpse right in the face, and the corpse's laughter stopped immediately.
He jumped onto the beam, took down the strange corpse, and pulled out the three corpse needles that were pierced into the head.
Hu Xiuwu originally thought that the Three Corpse Needles would be stained with the mucus inside the skull, but unexpectedly there was nothing on the needles. The skull of the female corpse was empty and had been dealt with by someone.
After the laughter stopped, Hu Bayi and the others regained consciousness and went to the back hall to find Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Bayi looked at the strange female corpse and asked:
"What kind of zongzi is this? It can actually bewitch people and make them unconsciously let down their guard."
Wang Kaixuan echoed, "Yes, I almost thought I was back in Beijing and bought a big store in Panjiayuan."
Lao Meng turned the female corpse's head over and over again, and even opened her mouth to see what was inside.
It's like going to the vegetable market and wanting to buy a pig's head, and choosing the better one in front of the butcher.
Only then did Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi realize that Old Meng, who had always been gentle and polite when they came here together, had such a terrifying side.
Even Shirley Yang quietly moved away from Lao Meng.
Lao Meng checked twice, put his fingers into the female corpse's mouth, and pulled out a tongue that had turned into jade. Through the light, one could even see the blood vessels inside the tongue.
After discovering the tongue, Lao Meng suddenly realized: "This should be the head of a cult leader."
The evil teacher does not refer to the villain in the fairy tale novels, but refers to a strange person who can deceive ordinary people with his seductive words.
This method is a bit like the ability that often appears in the works of certain hypnotists, ** teachers, etc.
Such people often use sweet talk to seduce ordinary people, gather people together to establish cults, defraud people of money and sex, and even harm people's lives.
Nadutong has always adopted an attitude of annihilating and never tolerating such people.
"It seems that this person was a priest of the Yi people. This kind of alien who has mastered the sounds of the tongue is good at gathering people, but his own strength is insufficient, so he was unable to resist the invasion of King Xian."
"After King Xian conquered the Yi people, he made her into a tool to guard the tomb."
"King Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy. The king of Xian used the power of the army to punish the enemy! "
"He refined the alien into a magical weapon. This King Xian is more brutal than I thought, and his cultivation is also more advanced than I thought."
Suddenly, the sound of mechanical movement was heard in the hall.
A huge fire started in the six-legged cauldron in the front hall. As the heat rose, mercury spit out from the mouth of the jade dragon on the wall of the back hall.
The female corpse was a chain mechanism. Anyone who came to Lingyun Palace, if controlled by the sounds of the female corpse's mouth and tongue, would die in the front hall.
However, if someone who reaches Lingyun Palace discovers the secret of the female corpse and takes her off, it will trigger a mechanism that will cause the entire Lingyun Palace to enter self-destruct mode and destroy all the secrets in Lingyun Palace.
Seeing the mercury increasing and starting to evaporate under the burning fire in the front hall, Liao Zhong shouted:
"Everyone, put on your protective clothing and leave here first...Hu Bayi! What are you doing? Come back quickly!"
Chapter 53 Jade Letter
Liao Zhong ordered everyone to retreat to the front hall.
For some reason, Hu Bayi suddenly turned back, ran to the top of the jade dragon that was spitting mercury, and smashed the wall with the butt of his submachine gun.
He actually smashed a big hole in the wall, and there was a mezzanine behind the wall, with a jade box inside.
Hu Bayi pulled the submachine gun to his back, reached out to take out the jade box from the wall, and stuffed it into his arms.
This set of actions took Hu Bayi a lot of time. The mercury leaked out and paved the entire back hall.
Hu Bayi was left with no place to stay and could only hang on Yulong, not knowing what to do.
While he was hesitating, Hu Xiuwu controlled the talismans to wrap around his waist, one after another, entwining each other to form a long rope.
Hu Xiuwu pulled the talisman with force and pulled Hu Bayi out of the back hall. At this time, mercury vapor had filled the entire Lingyun Palace.
After putting on the gas mask, Hu Xiuwu pulled Hu Bayi out of the front hall.
Everyone else was pulled away by Liao Zhong. Wang Kaixuan also wanted to stay and rescue Hu Bayi with Hu Xiuwu, but was persuaded to leave by Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Xiuwu brought Hu Bayi to the square in front of Lingyun Palace and reunited with everyone.
Seeing Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi coming back, Wang Kaixuan quickly approached Hu Bayi:
"Old Hu, you worried me to death. Are you crazy? You suddenly ran back to the room full of mercury. Are you tired of living?"
Shirley Yang also hurried over to check on Hu Bayi's health.
Seeing that everyone cared about him, Hu Bayi felt warm in his heart, and felt that his adventure was not in vain:
"I was 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 such a self-destruct device, so I took a gamble."
"I tried the place that I thought was the most problematic, and unexpectedly I actually found something."
Hu Bayi took out the jade box he had just found in the wall.
This jade box is made of the finest mutton-fat jade, and the gaps are sealed with beeswax.
The front of the jade box is carved with a picture of an immortal guiding people, and around it is a black snake circling the jade box. The black snake has only one eye on its head, and it is carved to look like a Zhuchen Pearl.
This jade box can be said to be priceless. The things in this jade box must be of great significance to King Xian.
Now that Lingyun Palace has been destroyed, they have not yet found King Xian’s real tomb, and there are no people or monsters chasing them.
There was plenty of time, so Liao Zhong decided to open the jade box here and see if there were any clues inside.
Hu Bayi used a knife to cut the beeswax and carefully removed the jade cover.
The inside of the jade box is lined with clouded leopard skin with dark cloud patterns to prevent the items in the jade box from being bumped.
What was placed inside was not a treasure like the three-eyed toad, but an ordinary tortoise shell engraved with ancient Chinese characters.
There was a faint fragrance coming from the tortoise shell, as if King Xian had specially treated it with anti-corrosion measures.
Shirley Yang was a little disappointed. Seeing the Zhuchen Pearl carved on the jade box, she thought the Zhuchen Pearl was inside, but it turned out to be an ordinary tortoise shell.
She could now vaguely understand that her grandfather, Partridge Whistle, had gone through so much hardship in Black Water City of Western Xia and thought he could find the Zhuchen Pearl to resolve the curse.
The despair and hopelessness of getting nothing in the end.
Da Jin Ya is not here, and now only Hu Xiuwu and Shirley Yang are familiar with ancient Chinese. No matter how disappointed Shirley Yang is, she can only cheer herself up and see if there are any new clues on the tortoise shell.
Hu Bayi handed the tortoise shell engraved with words to Hu Xiuwu. Shirley Yang and Hu Xiuwu came aside to study the contents on the tortoise shell.
It's very strange that the tortoise shell only mentioned the beginning, and the Zhuchen Pearl fell into the hands of King Xian.
The rest is all about a dream King Xian had after he obtained the Zhuchen Pearl.
He dreamed that a huge snake that covered the sky and sun emerged from the desert and flew into the sky.
The body of this giant snake can cover the sky, and its eyes can penetrate the underworld and see through the past and the future.
