Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 178 Man-Eating Vine

The reason why this place is called "Lijiashan" is because a high-ranking official named Li in the previous dynasty bought several surrounding hills, so this place was called Lijiashan.

But now, Jiang Yang and the others still don't care what high official you were in the previous dynasty. Even if you are the descendant named Li, whether he is there or not is another matter.

Therefore, Jiang Yang and the others did not have any psychological burden at all when they entered this suspected unowned land to rob tombs.

In fact, if it were on a 100-meter flat ground, with the speed of Jiang Yang and the other five, they would definitely be able to rush over in ten seconds.

It's just that the forest in front of me is a jungle that is more than a thousand years old. It is full of tough vines, and the ground is full of dead leaves and rotten branches. It is difficult to stand firmly even when walking, let alone running!

It’s better to just watch the road and walk honestly.

As soon as they entered the woods, they noticed a boulder more than three meters high with a relief statue of a buffalo on it, which was very consistent with the culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

There are many broken bronze vessels in front of the boulder, and they are also covered with green patina.

Jiang Yang walked over and rummaged around. Every piece of bronze was in tatters and none was complete.

However, after he cleaned it up, he could still clearly see the traces of ancient Dian bronzes in some of the marks, so he was sure they were in the right place.

"The people in Dashangou Village should have gotten the treasure from here, but I wonder how that person crossed the water and how he left." Chen Yugan guessed.

"No matter how he left, it won't be a problem for us anyway." Hong Guliang said nonchalantly. She always didn't like to worry about things.

"Let's go!" Min Gushao saw that there was no useful information here, so he wanted to move on.

The trees in this forest are also very tall, forty to fifty meters high. They can be as big as three or four people hugging each other, and as small as a fist.

There was a phoenix with angry eyes wading in front of the thunder, and some poisonous insects that were forced by the phoenix with angry eyes did not dare to approach, or they all avoided it.

Even if the poisonous insect dares to provoke, the angry-eyed phoenix will immediately spot it and peck it to death as fast as lightning with its steel-hard peck.

Chen Yuguan looked very envious when he saw how energetic the angry-eyed phoenix chicken was.

Why hasn't he met such a good spiritual pet?
  When everyone cautiously advanced about thirty meters, the angry-eyed phoenix stopped moving forward, as if there was a danger ahead that it was afraid of.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yang and others could not see anything abnormal with their naked eyes.

In the silent woods, there was not even a sound of birds chirping or insects chirping.

"It seems that there is something terrible in the center of the forest. Everyone, be careful and stay in formation." The whistle reminded.

Min Gushao, Hong Guliang, Chen Yuguan, Hua Ling'er, and Jiang Yang formed a five-person column and moved forward.

Suddenly, the sound of "rustling" came to mind in the woods.

Jiang Yang and the others looked seriously on guard.

Soon, countless green leafy vines appeared on the ground, spreading outward from the center of the forest, and their destination was Jiang Yang and the others.

"Quickly retreat!" Min Gushao ordered loudly.

There is no way to retreat. There are too many vines. Once they are bound, life or death will be unpredictable.

The team suddenly changed from Jiang Yang, the last one, to the first one.

"Xiao Feng!" Hua Ling'er also forgot to call out the angry-eyed phoenix.

I saw the angry-eyed phoenix flopping out faster.

A few seconds passed, and Jiang Yang and others ran out of the path opened when they entered and returned to the lake shore.

The green leaves and vines in the woods were actually taken back again.

"What on earth is this?" Chen Yuguan had never seen anything like this.

"It should be a man-eating vine! Did you see the head of the vine just now? There are spikes on it, which contain narcotic toxins; there are also large buds that will bite like wild beasts when opened." Jiang Yang explained to them.

"No wonder the woods are so quiet. With such strange things, not to mention people, even insects and birds can't survive." Chen Yugan said with a sigh.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. No matter how strange this man-eating vine is, it's still a plant. It relies on ground vibrations to pursue its prey, and its spread should only be as large as a forest.

We first found the shortest route to the altar in the woods, and before the man-eating vine could react, we walked through the woods as quickly as possible. "Jiang Yang suggested this after looking at the environment. After hearing this, Xi Gushao nodded: "This method is feasible. "

"I heard just now that the right side of the woods is relatively close to the altar." Chen Yukuan had just used the thunder technique to survey, so naturally he was most familiar with the terrain here.

"Then let's go over and take a look." After Jiang Yang said that, he started walking to the right of the woods.

The shoreline of the lake outside the woods is not very long. After more than 20 meters, you can only walk into the woods.

Jiang Yang took out a few grenades and handed them to others.

These grenades were specially prepared by Jiang Yang for Chen Yuguan, and they came in handy now.

"We will take turns throwing grenades into the woods over there later. We will use the vibration of the explosion to attract the man-eating vines, and then take the opportunity to pass through the woods." Jiang Yang explained amidst their doubts.

"You still have a way." At this time, Chen Yuguan had to raise his thumb to Jiang Yang a few times.

Acting according to plan, as they walked into the woods, the five of them took turns throwing grenades to the other side of the woods.

"Bang bang!"...

The green-leafed vines of the man-eating vine extend over there like bombs.

Jiang Yang and the others took the opportunity to walk through the jungle and walk towards the altar.

However, their footsteps still attracted some vines, but they did not pose a threat.

The vines that attacked them were not very fast, and all five of them were able to deal with them easily, either kicking them back or cutting them off with a knife.

Finally, they safely passed through the grove and reached the altar halfway up the mountain.

As expected, there are eight houses here, all built against the mountain.

It is better to say that it is a house than a simple stone pavilion, but it is taller and can only keep out the rain but not the wind.

Because it has been eroded by wind and rain all year round, it looks very dilapidated, so it is a dangerous building and may collapse at any time.

There is an altar with four stone pillars in the middle of the eight stone houses. The altar is not very high, only about one meter high.

The diameter of the four stone pillars is more than one meter. There are carvings on them, and there are some traces. It can be distinguished that they are the four phases, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, and their directions are also corresponding.

Jiang Yang walked up to the altar and saw that the flat pattern of the altar was actually a Tai Chi diagram composed of yin and yang fish. He really didn't expect that the tomb of the Dian King was related to Taoism.

"Everyone is looking around to see if there is any mechanism. I concluded that the entrance to the ancient tomb should be on this altar." Jiang Yang took a look at the surrounding environment and found that there were no other abnormalities, then he gave instructions to Min Gushao and others.

Now that we have arrived at our destination, we naturally have to work.

"The ancient Dian Kingdom was not a very powerful country. After the death of the Dian King, there may be some tomb-keepers, but not many. They should be eliminated in one generation.

Therefore, these stone houses are not the houses where the tomb guards live. They should live in the tomb.

I think the mechanism must be around the altar. "Jiang Yang expressed his opinion and let them refer to it.

Hua Ling'er and Hong Guliang walked around the simple stone houses and found nothing unusual, which completely confirmed Jiang Yang's view.

Min Gushao walked to the altar and carefully observed the four stone pillars of the altar.

"Do you still remember the Feng Shui bureau you mentioned?" Min Gushao raised his head and asked Jiang Yang.

"The Underworld Pearl in the Water?" Jiang Yang remembered that this was a dangerous hole. Along the way, there were psychedelic arrays, water-belly cockroaches, and man-eating vines, which showed the danger.

The reason why they were able to break through the barrier whole body was because they were strong enough.

If Chen Yuguan were allowed to bring a large group of Xiling warriors, they might be able to reach here, but they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It's not that Jiang Yang underestimated the Xiling Pirate Sect. The psychedelic array, water-belly cockroaches, and man-eating vines were not something ordinary warriors could easily deal with.

Jiang Yang also had a guess in his mind regarding the evil point that Min Gushao suddenly mentioned.
