Holy Bone

Chapter 340 Gap in the Underground Palace, Mountain God?
This canyon is very deep.

In addition, the world of Yuze is already overwhelmed by dark clouds.

The three of them slipped down a few feet from the vines wrapped around their waists, and the surroundings were already so dark that it was almost impossible to see the environment clearly.

But what surprised the three of them even more was that they still hadn't got their feet on the ground after sliding down such a long distance. How far is the underground palace from the ground?
I'm afraid it's more than ten feet deep, right?
No wonder the people in Tianshi Mansion have been quiet for the past few days, so they have been making preparations before going down to the underground palace, the old Taoist said.

This deep valley was unfathomable. Even though the old Taoist had lowered his voice to speak, it still echoed in this empty valley.

Jin An understood that the old Taoist priest had developed a fear of heights, and he was deliberately looking for topics to distract himself.

So he talked to the old Taoist at random times along the way. In fact, his main attention was still on the vines in his hands and the dark canyon under his feet. Will there be a dead face suddenly appearing, such as the livid dead face Kuixing Kick Dou?

Speaking of which, since meeting those two dead people who came ashore from the Dragon King's tomb the night before yesterday, these two days have been too peaceful. Jin An secretly wondered if those two dead people had already run into the underground palace under the deep valley beforehand, right?Or has been dormant in the dark, seeing that all of them have gone down the deep valley, and now they are also coming down quietly?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his head to look up at the sky. At this moment, he was full of jewels, and although he would not be blinded under this dark cliff, the illumination of divine treasures in the deep valley was really limited.

And the old Taoist priest's plaque is now being carried by Jin An.

After all, they were going down the valley, and the old Taoist priests were weak, and it was inconvenient to carry them around.

After sliding down a few more feet, Jin An reckoned that they had already fallen ten feet, and his hands were full of the bitter grass juice from the vines. Suddenly, he frowned and paused in mid-air , and then continued to slide down the vine as if nothing had happened.

"Small, little brother, don't tell me you're old. I'm always suspicious. Ever since I went down the valley, my back feels numb. I always feel that there are eyes staring at the old man from behind. Seeing the old one, my back feels cold and my hands and feet are stiff. It’s cold.” The old Taoist was trembling as he spoke, because he was really cold.

Jin An turned to look at Jian Jian: "Do you feel the same about Jian Jian?"

Cutting Sword, Old Taoist Priest, Jin An.

This is the order of the three of them lined up.

The master and apprentice protected the ordinary old Taoist priests in the middle so that they could deal with emergencies at any time.

"Yeah." Chi Jian still had the expressionless and dull face of a living person and a dead person. If Jin An didn't take the initiative to ask him, he could remain silent.

Jin An frowned: "Actually, not long after I was in the lower canyon, I also had this strange feeling. Several times I felt someone staring at me from behind. The deeper the lower canyon, the closer the eyes are to my back. Maybe it's because you The perception is weaker, and you have this feeling until now, and when you feel something strange, the cold has already penetrated into the bone marrow, the yin qi has risen sharply, and the yang fire has retreated a little."

After finishing speaking, he yelled towards Jianjian: "Qijian, you can borrow the wine gourd from the old man for a while, and let the old man drink a sip of wine to warm up his body. The temperature difference in this canyon is huge, and the old man may not last long."

"It seems that this is the reason why the flying birds are extinct and the wooden kite of the Tianshi Mansion fell into the deep valley. Because of the large temperature difference at the bottom of the canyon, coupled with the complex terrain and dark environment, it is easy to freeze or hit the cliff."

Jin An didn't mention that during the previous exchange of information, someone said that he had seen ghost eyes in the depths of the canyon.After all, they are still hanging in the air, surrounded by pitch black, it looks a bit scary, and the old Taoist is afraid of heights, so he doesn't want to add too much negative atmosphere at this time.

Since the previous group of people were able to go down the canyon safely, it means that there is no danger here.If there were really some unclean things secretly harming people, relying on the abilities of Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion, it would be impossible to keep calm and not hear any big movements.

Next, Shajian grabbed the vine, stepped on the uneven rock and kicked hard, swung to the old Taoist priest with agility, and swung back to the original place after stuffing the wine gourd into the old Taoist priest's hand.

"Old Taoist, your body is weak. When you can't stand the cold, take a sip to warm your body. Take the wine gourd with you first, and it's not too late to sharpen your sword later." Jin An told the old Taoist not to be polite to him. The wine gourd has several days of wine, and the old Taoist can endure it for a long time even if he sips slowly.

Unexpectedly, it was quite far from the location of the underground palace, and the three of them slid about twenty feet before they finally got their feet on the ground.

wow——

This is the sound of feet stepping on the tiles. They are standing on the roof of an underground palace, and the roof of the underground palace has collapsed, leaving several large holes.

As far as he saw the roof collapsed holes, there were several.

And in the invisible darkness, there will only be more holes.

Jin An picked up a stone at his feet and threw it into the distance. There was a sound of the stone hitting the tiles, which showed that the scale of the underground palace was huge.

He found that there were messy shoe prints around several holes, and a strong vine was hanging down from them. The underground palace was dark, and the environment below could not be seen.

At this time, the old Taoist handed over a torch.

Jin An was happy and gave the old Taoist a thumbs up.

Sure enough, the field experience still depends on the old Taoist priest, who is quite prepared for going to the underground palace this time.

Finally down-to-earth, the old Taoist priest, whose complexion has improved a lot, once again showed a smug expression facing his thumb.Being able to feel the flu, it means that the old Taoist priest has almost recovered.

Next, Jin An randomly chose a nearby hole and threw the torch down. The torch didn't go out, and the flame didn't dim, which meant that the air in the underground palace was fresh and he could enter.

Seeing that there was no danger, Jin An took the lead in going down into the underground palace, and then caught the old Taoist priest and Jian Jian one by one.

The fragments of the collapsed tiles above the head accumulated a thick layer of dust in the underground palace. Obviously, the gaps in these underground palaces existed a long time ago, and they were not blasted by the Tianshi Mansion.

Speaking of which, the main building of the underground palace has always been buried deep underground, but the ground cracked, revealing the roof of the palace at the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, the environment in this underground palace is very dry, which is why such a thick dust can fall.

And when Jin An picked up the torch again and looked behind him, he saw a thick stone wall standing behind him, about five or six feet high, embedded in the cliff.

To be more precise, if there is no huge chasm opened by the uncanny workmanship, it should be built deep underground.

"There are walls and tiled roofs here. Could this be Minglou?"

Minglou is the gateway to the underground palace.

In the folk, there are usually ten thousand catty gates for guarding the mausoleum, and the fire wall for guarding the mausoleum. I just don’t know if the underground palace in this cave is also designed like this?
After walking around the stone wall, Jianjian returned to the original place at this time: "Master, this underground palace is buried deep in the ground. If it is a Ming building, there should be a door. I didn't see the door."

Jin An was taken aback when he heard the words. He and the old Taoist took a closer look, and there was really no way out.

"If there is no door, doesn't it mean that we are not at the outermost edge of the underground palace, but go directly into a side hall of the underground palace?"

As Jin An spoke, he began to slowly explore how big the side hall was.

The advantage of the previous group of people going down to the underground palace earlier than them is that even if there is any danger in this side hall, it has already been cleared away, so the three of them can walk around safely in this side hall.

Anyway, they are already far behind, and they are not in a hurry for this moment. The three of them plan to fight steadily in this underground palace, step by step.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.

What is the specific background here, the underground palace can't come alive and tell them in person, so it is necessary to explore the truth by looking for details.

"Cut the sword, here it is."

The old Taoist threw the wine gourd in his hand back to Chijian. He said that after coming to the underground palace, the chill on his back disappeared. Now he feels warm after drinking wine, so he won’t need the wine gourd for the time being. .

Cutting the sword took the wine gourd.

This side hall is not small at all. The more Jin An explores, the more surprised he becomes. There is more than enough room for a temple here.

"what?"

The old Taoist not far away suddenly let out a surprise.

Jin An and Chi Jian, who were exploring other places, rushed over with torches in hand and asked what's the matter?
They don't have chickens, ducks, geese and other live birds to test the air level in the underground palace, so they temporarily use torches to test the air circulation in the underground palace.

When the two rushed to the old Taoist priest who was also holding a torch, they accidentally saw a huge tortoise shell placed on the ground of the side hall.

The tortoise shell was bigger than the door panel.

Jin An was stunned for a moment, thinking that this is at least a millennium bastard, right?
The hall was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the only thing that was still clean was the thousand-year-old tortoise shell. He noticed that there were ancient characters engraved on the tortoise shell.

Ancient characters like oracle bone inscriptions but also more complex and ancient characters?

The three of them studied for a long time but failed to find out what was written on the thousand-year-old tortoise shell.

However, the word "mountain" is quite vivid.

It is also the only ancient character they can understand.

"Mountain God?"

Ever since he learned about the relationship between the Four Elephant Bureau, the Shackles of the Underworld, the World of Great Contest, the Paradise of Heaven, and the Mountain God, Jin An now feels like a mountain god in everything.

The old Taoist looked at the huge tortoise shell on the ground and wondered: "Little brother, do you think the tortoise shell left by the thousand-year-old bastard is the remains of the mountain god?"

Jin An shook his head, and felt that something was wrong, saying that he just made a random guess just now, and said that if the remains of the mountain god were so easy for them to find, it would not have been mysterious for thousands of years, and it was not recorded in any ancient books or history. It's a mystery.

"Although I can't understand it now, when I get it outside, there will always be someone who can understand it. Old Taoist, don't you have a pen and ink, you copy all these words first, and we will find someone who can understand it after we go out .”

Since it can appear in the underground palace of Dongtianfudi, the thousand-year-old tortoise shell must have left important information. Jin'an left the old Taoist to copy the ancient tortoise shell characters, and he and Jianjian continued to explore this side hall.

It's just that after that, no valuable clues were found. After the old Taoist priest copied the ancient tortoise shell characters, the three continued to advance in the underground palace with torches in hand.

Just now, he and Jian Jian had already found the exit of Du Pian Hall.
