The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 2142 Niu Su

After everyone rested comfortably in Dancing Grass for a while, they continued to move forward, and soon passed through a narrow passage and arrived near the mountain temple.

There were dead branches and leaves near the mountain temple. When the door was opened, a dilapidated mountain god statue came into view. There were also some withered branches on the ground.

Wang Kaixuan said with some disgust: "What do you think the people in Zhelong Village think? They will not let us enter the mountain. They are afraid that we will disturb the mountain god. This mountain god can't protect itself now, how can it protect the four directions?"

Hu Bayi said: "The mountain people here have relied on the mountains for food since ancient times, and it is normal for them to have the custom of worshiping the mountain gods."

"It's useless for me to believe in anything. These days, it's better to believe in heaven and earth than to believe in your own arms and legs." Wang Kaixuan said.

Several people spread out and looked for any mechanism in the mountain temple.

Wang Kaixuan saw the shape of the mountain god statue and said, "Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, look, why is this mountain god holding a toad in his hand? Is he also holding a gourd here?"

Hu Bayi said: "It seems that this is the location marked by the toad on the map. We have found the right place." '

Shirley Yang looked at the map and asked, "Does the toad and gourd have any special meaning at such obvious locations on the map?"

"Isn't the meaning quite obvious? When the mountain god wants to drink, he puts the wine in the gourd, and then uses the toad to drink it." Wang Kaixuan said in a playful way.

When the others heard Wang Kaixuan's words, they all shook their heads speechlessly.

Shirley Yang looked at the map and said: 'Since the map shows that the entrance is here, I think it should be correct. Let's look around to see if there should be any institutions. '

Zhao Shucheng walked around behind the statue and saw a corpse on the ground. Judging from the attire, he should have entered this place in recent years and died no more than five years ago.

"There are human bones here, maybe they have the same purpose as ours."

Others heard and came over. Wang Kaixuan squatted down, took off a badge on the other person's clothes, and looked at it curiously. When I saw something in English above, I didn’t understand it, so I asked Shirley Yang to come over and take a look.

After Shirley Yang saw this badge, she was stunned and seemed to be greatly shocked.

Everyone looked at Shirley Yang, who was stunned on the spot, and immediately knew that the matter was not that simple. Maybe she knew the identity of the owner of the bones.

It turns out that this skeleton is Shirley Yang's long-lost father, but she never thought that the two people would reunite in this way.

Zhao Shucheng felt a little strange, how could Shirley Yang's father find this place. You must know that in the Kunlun Glacier, the diary of Shirley Yang's father's expedition team was found. It was originally thought that Shirley Yang's father disappeared in the ancient city of Jingjue. Now it seems that he somehow found out about the Muchen Bead in King Xian's tomb, so he came here alone.

But there is another problem here, that is, if the other party does not have a map, how can he find this location accurately, and even pass through the white miasma to reach the mountain temple, and why he died here.

When Shirley Yang revealed the identity of the bones, Hu Bayi and others were also a little surprised. They asked Shirley Yang to stay alone with the bones for a while before continuing to explore.

Shirley Yang pointed to the place where the bones were just now and said, "There is a unique stone here. My father must have discovered something fishy."

When everyone heard what Shirley Yang said, they squatted down and looked at the stone she was talking about. They peeled away the dead branches on the ground and discovered that there were several snake-shaped patterns carved on the stone.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the others, then pressed the stone hard, and heard the clicking sound of the mechanism activating. Then he saw that the ground around the statue suddenly collapsed, and several pillars carved with toads rose up.

Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi walked around and counted eight toad pillars in total.

"Old Hu, it seems that this is also arranged according to the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and it also responds to the nine-winding terrain here. These eight pillars should be rotatable, but to crack the mechanism, they need to be rotated in a specific order. These eight pillars will do.”

Hu Ba nodded and said: "That's true. These pillars surround the statue. If you unlock the mechanism, the secret door should appear. If you don't match the correct position three times in a row, the mechanism will be completely stuck and there will be no way. Go in."

After hearing this, Shirley Yang asked: "Since it is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Bagua, can it be opened using the Nine Palaces' numbers?"

Zhao Shucheng walked around these toads a few times and said, "It's not that simple. Old Hu, in fact, King Xian didn't really completely seal off the possibility of entering the secret passage. After all, he still wanted to come out after ascending to immortality. These toads The mouths are open and closed, and even the heads of toads are different. We can find relevant connections based on this, and then decipher them according to the directions of the Nine Palaces and Bagua.”

Hu Bayi said: "Yes, my sixteen-character yin-yang secret technique is also recorded in the Yi Long Jing. As long as you find the first toad that needs to be turned, and then follow the nine-turn loop technique, you can get through everything."

Zhao Shucheng and the others took a closer look at the appearance of these toads. Finally, Zhao Shucheng came to a stone pillar and started to rotate directly.

Hu Bayi's eyes lit up when he saw it. He took out his compass and pointed it in the direction. After looking at it, he found that this was actually the ugly position in the northeast.

Hu Bayi remembered that after they left Zhelong Village, they passed a sacrificial place filled with cow skulls. I originally thought that the people in Zhelong Village were just ignorant, but unexpectedly, there was a mystery behind it.

"Master Zhao, how do you know this is the right direction?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "Old Hu, you have fallen into the cognitive trap again. You must know that the people of Zhelong Village have been multiplying here for thousands of years. They are probably simply a branch of the survivors of the ancient Dian Kingdom. They will not do it for no reason. There is no such thing as cow totem worship, and outsiders will not be allowed to enter the Worm Valley without any reason."

"The cow skull seems to be a totem, but in fact it is because the time interval is so long that the people in Zhelong Village no longer remember how to enter the tomb of the Dian King, but the relevant rumors are left behind."

"The ancient ancestors had a natural worship of the stars in the sky, and the Ox constellation in the twenty-eight constellations naturally corresponded to the cow on the ground. In order not to easily reveal the information of this organization, the descendants of the ancient Dian Kingdom naturally only used the cow head for external purposes. Bones refer to it. Unfortunately, the descendants of Zhelong Village don’t know the meaning of the cow head at all, so they can only treat it as totem worship.”

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng began to turn the pillars one by one according to the steps of the nine-turn loop. After finally settling on the toad's position, he heard the gourd outside the temple split in half, and a narrow tunnel appeared behind the statue. When others saw the tunnel opening, they immediately began to enter the portal one after another.

Before entering, Shirley Yang looked back at the bones on the ground and did not move for a long time.

Hu Bayi turned around and saw Shirley Yang standing there and said, "Shirley, it's okay. After we get the Muchen Bead, we will come back and take uncle with us. We will never let him stay here alone."

After hearing this, Shirley Yang took a deep look at Hu Bayi, nodded, and followed him into the tunnel.

Zhao Shucheng suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back to the mountain temple, closed the temple door, and even bolted the door.

When Wang Kaixuan saw that Zhao Shucheng did not follow him, he returned to the temple. Seeing Zhao Shucheng's actions, he asked curiously: "No, Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Shucheng looked back at the temple door and said, "Fat man. Talk as you walk!"

After entering the tunnel, Zhao Shucheng caught up with Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang and said, "The reason why we closed the temple door is that we don't want the people from Zhelong Village to continue to catch up."

Wang Kaixuan said with some confusion: "No, Mr. Zhao, you mean the people in Zhelong Village haven't given up yet?"

The Muchen Bead is related to the hope of three people's survival. Now it is very close, but the people from Zhelong Village are chasing after it, so Lao Hu is also a little angry and said: 'Are these people still lingering? '

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "You also have to understand me. After all, this is the tomb of our ancestors. Naturally, we don't want outsiders to disturb us. But the reason why I closed the door is not only to prevent them from coming in, but also to save their lives." "

"The Tomb of King Xian is full of dangers. They can avoid the white miasma, but the next danger will not be easy for them to escape. If they don't catch up, they will naturally be spared a small life. If they still If they catch up without mercy, then it can only be said that their own fate is in danger. "

Hearing that people from Zhelong Village might die in King Xian's tomb, Hu Bayi just sighed secretly. After all, although he couldn't bear it, he still ventured into King Xian's tomb. He couldn't protect himself, so how could he have the energy to take care of others?

However, what Zhao Shucheng and the others did not expect was that after entering the tunnel for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a mechanism turning from behind. The secret passage that had been opened by the mechanism was suddenly closed by a stone door.

Zhao Shucheng frowned and said: "It seems that this agency is also time-sensitive. I just don't know if the next time the agency is activated, it will still be the same procedure or whether adjustments will be made."

After a group of people entered the tunnel for a while, they suddenly found that they seemed to be on a stone bridge.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "What is this dark underground?"

Shirley Yang took out a cold firework, lit it directly, and threw it aside. She saw that both sides of the bridge seemed unfathomable, but in fact it was only a dozen meters deep.

But this is secondary. The key is that the ground is filled with bones, including human and animal bones, as well as some jewelry and artifacts.

"I didn't expect that King Xian actually built such a large burial pit in Worm Valley."

When Wang Kaixuan heard what Shirley Yang said, he looked down and said, "In the burial pit, are all the things in the ground buried with him? Why are there so many good things? Lao Hu, what do you think there are? If you take out a few random things, can you exchange them for an imported small Jeep?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Fat man, don't think about it. Although there are a lot of good things down there, we don't have that much time to go shopping. Instead, we have to hurry up and find the Muchen Bead."

Hu Ba nodded and said: "Fat man, don't forget what we are here for. Besides, we have already agreed before that we will no longer fight upside down in the future. We have no choice but to go to the grave now, so we must not delay it." Get down to business.”

Wang Kaixuan said a little sarcastically: "That's necessary. Let's do what we say. I just live by my words. After all, I am also a principled person. I have a bottom line!"

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng didn't believe that Wang Kaixuan could really do what he said. His principles and bottom lines were very flexible. If Hu Bayi hadn't been watching, he might have rushed down to hunt for treasure.

The group continued to move forward, criticizing King Xian's behavior. At the same time, the mountain temple also welcomed a group of new guests.

After the wind blew away the white miasma, the people from Zhelong Village entered the Insect Valley non-stop, even chasing Zhao Shucheng and others without sleep, and finally followed the footprints of Zhao Shucheng and his group to the outside of the mountain temple.

When they saw the closed temple door, they hesitated for a moment. After all, this is their belief, and if they want to enter, they must break in. This is undoubtedly a big challenge for them.

At this time, the old patriarch Enkuan also came here. When he saw the people of Zhelong Village standing there waiting for orders, he hesitated and said, "You can't blame us. I believe the mountain god will forgive us. These outsiders disturbed the peace of the mountain god. , even eyeing our ancestral treasures, we can’t let them go!”

With the words of the old patriarch, the others suddenly seemed to have a backbone. They cut down a dead tree near the mountain temple. Then several people hugged the wood and started to hit the mountain gate of the mountain temple.

After all, this temple door has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and the door latch has already become somewhat rotten, so the door latch soon broke and the temple door opened.

The people in Zhelong Village saw no trace of Zhao Shucheng and others in the temple, but it was Ada who saw the tunnel appearing on one side. However, the tunnel was blocked by a stone door. This time, the stone door was not like the door of the previous mountain temple, which could be easily knocked open. Following the order of the old patriarch Enkuan, the people of Zhelong Village made explosives on the spot and tried to blow up the stone gate. Among them, Zewa was very diligent and arranged the division of labor among everyone, which convinced the people of Zhelong Village. After the stone gate was blown open, Enkuan gave the order and the others entered the tunnel with torches and continued to pursue Zhao Shucheng and others.

Zhao Shucheng and the others moved along the stone bridge, and soon crossed the stone bridge and entered another tunnel. It's very humid here, and there's even water dripping from the mountain wall above your head to the bottom.

Soon after, when we reached the end of the tunnel, we saw an underground river.

"I said, Lao Hu, have you ever opened your mouth? There is really a river here. But this river is so long that you can't even see the end! I said, it won't be just this one road, nothing else. Is the road gone?"

Hu Bayi said: "That's better than being connected in all directions and not knowing where to go."
