Chapter 55
Looking closely at the six mermaid candles, Hu Xiuwu discovered that there were actually three candles behind the six mermaid candles.

This time, it was no longer made of mermen. King Xian used seven or eight-year-old children as candles even worse.

On the candlesticks of these three candles are also engraved the name of 'Jie Yin Xian Sheng'.

Wang Kaixuan said: "It's too cruel to offer a king, even turning a child into a candle."

Hu Bayi said: "This should be the fetching fairy boy made by King Xian to welcome the fairy who took King Xian into immortal."

"What immortal would accept this kind of welcome, Xianwang's brain is broken."

Liao Zhong said with a spit.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the nine candles: "Old Hu, you said that this kind of longevity candle corresponds to a coffin, right? A longevity candle corresponds to a coffin."

"Why are there so many longevity candles now? Could it be that there are nine coffins here?"

Hu Xiuwu retorted: "No, those three boy candles are for attracting boys and should not be regarded as longevity candles."

"It's not six longevity candles, you see, there is another one on my side, a bull's head candle that hasn't been lit."

Xue Li Yang said, and everyone looked at her.

Sure enough, in front of her was the largest lamp in the tomb, on a copper candle made of a bull's head.

"The remaining seven longevity candles may really correspond to seven coffins."

Hu Xiuwu looked at the ceiling and the floor.

Old Meng Miao, who is also a practitioner, understands what Hu Xiuwu means:
"You mean, that King Xian has prepared three lives for himself. This Hades actually has three floors, the human world in the middle, the Netherworld below, and the top floor representing the Immortal Mountain."

Liao Zhong saw that Lao Meng and Hu Xiuwu were playing a riddle, and he asked directly, "Where is the coffin of King Xian?"

"Since King Xian's purpose is to become immortal, then he will definitely not put himself underground, but will definitely put himself in a high place."

After listening to Hu Xiuwu's words, Liao Zhong looked at Lao Meng again. Seeing Lao Meng nod, he understood that Lao Meng agreed with Hu Xiuwu's statement, so he looked up at the ceiling of the tomb.

Liao Zhong said with his arms crossed, "I see, chubby, is the dynamite with you?"

"Here I am, Mr. Liao." Wang Kaixuan put down his gun and said, taking off his bag.

"Blast this place for me!"

"Look at it!"

······
With a loud noise, the ceiling of the tomb was blown open by explosives, the chains that originally tied the copper coffin broke, and the heavy copper coffin smashed to the ground.

Fortunately, Wang Kaixuan had not moved the bronze mirror before, but this time the bronze coffin smashed to the ground without breaking the bronze mirror.

The things in the copper coffin are still very honest.

It was just that the heavy copper coffin hit the ground, smashing a large hole in the floor of the tomb, revealing another layer of tomb hidden under the tomb.

Hu Bayi had learned precision blasting in the army before, so he had some experience with the amount of explosives used in blasting, and the rest of the tomb was not damaged.

"Huh, there really is another tomb below. It seems that Hu Xiuwu guessed right."

Liao Zhong came out of the corner where he was hiding and stood in front of the big hole smashed out of the copper coffin.

Hu Bayi pointed his flashlight along the entrance of the cave. In the underground tomb, he could vaguely see a stone coffin.

"It seems that the candle is really used to represent the three generations of the king, but what does it mean to invite the fairy? Is it really here to welcome the fairy?"

Wang Kaixuan made a joke: "It can't be our representative, the number of people is not right."

Liao Zhong looked up at the situation above and said:
"Don't think about it, let's go upstairs and take a look first."

Looking at the blasted hole on the top of the tomb, Hu Xiuwu controlled the rune to send the rope up, and tied the rope with the rune.

The top of the tomb is about four or five meters high. Hu Xiuwu can jump up with a little effort, but Hu Bayi, Xue Li Yang and Wang Kaixuan still need the help of ropes to go up.

After going up, Hu Xiuwu found that the painting style of the tomb on this floor was completely different from that of the tomb below.

The tomb on the next floor still feels a little gloomy, but it looks quite immortal.

The tomb is semi-circular with no edges and corners. The walls are painted with various immortal patterns, and sculptures of immortals and gods are also carved. They are also decorated with gems. There is no doubt about the financial resources of the king.

Hu Bayi followed the rope and climbed to this floor. Looking at the style of the tomb on this floor, he looked a little familiar, and he couldn't help but fall into memories.

Others searched for vital things in the burial chamber,
coffin,

It was the coffin again. There was an old problem in the tomb on this floor. In the most critical tomb, the coffin could not be seen.

Hu Xiuwu searched around and couldn't find it, he stood in the middle of the tomb and let out a sigh of relief,

He felt that this offering to the king was just difficult for him, and there were a lot of things that should have been there and those that shouldn't have appeared.

At this time, Hu Xiuwu realized that there was something wrong with Hu Bayi, his face was flushed, and blue veins burst out on his neck, his eyes seemed to be suffocated.

Seeing that Hu Bayi's situation was not right, Hu Xiuwu hurried over and pulled him away to check the situation.

As soon as he was pulled away by Hu Xiuwu, Hu Bayi touched his neck and began to gasp for breath.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Hu Xiuwu said while supporting Hu Bayi.

Xue Li Yang and Wang Kaixuan also came over, concerned about Hu Bayi's situation.

"Well, that painting is weird. When I was staring at it just now, I felt an arm sticking out of the painting and strangling my neck, making me unable to breathe."

Hu Bayi was still rubbing his neck with one hand, and pointed at the painting he just observed with the other.

Hu Xiuwu looked at the painting, which showed a dignified and gorgeously dressed woman who seemed to be the wife of King Xian.

There is indeed something magical about this painting, as long as you stare at it, the primordial spirit will fall into the artistic conception in the painting and be entangled by the woman in the painting.

However, when it tried to entangle Hu Xiuwu, it ran into trouble.

It couldn't find Hu Xiuwu's soul, or it was because there were too many targets, just like in the old camera lens, there were too many portraits, and the distance was different, which caused the camera to fail to focus.

Like a bug in the program, the system loops over and over again, leading to a crashed computer. This painting of a noble lady in a palace dress spontaneously appeared cracks.

The portrait shattered, revealing the secret passage hidden behind it, as well as a very luxurious and dignified female corpse sitting in the secret passage.

As soon as the female corpse saw the light, it shattered into a cloud of gray mist and floated towards them.

When the gray fog drifted closer, he realized that it was countless corpse moths.The moth powder on the wings of the corpse moth is highly poisonous, and once it gets on the skin, it will be infected with corpse poison.

However, the mere flying insects are not worth mentioning in front of Lao Meng.

Without much effort, Lao Meng let the moths quietly perch on both sides of the secret passage.

Compared with moths, Lao Meng was more curious about the painting just now.

Lao Meng pushed his glasses and said, "Is this an original method created by King Xian? It's very interesting."

"No, this is not an original method created by King Xian, it was passed down from the Central Plains."

As one of the people in charge of the crypt, Liao Zhong has a lot of knowledge and vetoes Lao Meng's statement:
"This is the magic of danqing, and people who know the magic of danqing can draw paintings with various magical effects. The danqing art is widely spread and there are many schools."

"The Wang family, one of the four families, mastered a technique of divine painting. In the past, there was a sect called Secret Painting in China, which mastered the unique technique of Danqing. Unfortunately, during the period of the Republic of China, the whole sect was broken up due to civil strife. It disappeared into history."

Looking at the broken painting, Lao Meng was a little puzzled:

"Since we entered this worm valley, we have learned a lot about the methods of offering kings."

"Feng Shui, Qi practice, savage art, weapon refining, and now the art of Danqing, all of which can be said to be proficient, and this King Xian can also be called an all-rounder."

"Don't mention King Xian's character, just say that his methods are really amazing, and he can be called a generation of strange people. Will such people really believe in the illusory theory of becoming immortal?"
