Shirley Yang has packed up her father and is preparing to take him back to his roots.
The group looked at the floor tile with a toad carved on it.
Hu Bayi pressed down hard.
moment.
Nine stone toads emerged from different directions of the mountain god's temple, each facing a different direction!
Chapter Twenty-Five: Death and Floating Life! Hu Yifei's Furious Outburst!
The mouths of the nine stone toads are open and closed, and the toads' heads are facing different directions.
In addition, the stone toad's mouth is fully movable, and it also has stone troughs that allow it to rotate its body in all directions.
Hu Bayi's eyes lit up when he saw the nine stone toads.
"Hey, these nine stone toads correspond perfectly to the nine winding loops I mentioned earlier!"
"This kind of mechanism is obvious to those who understand the Yi Long Jing. If you don't understand the essence of Feng Shui secrets and only know the Eight Trigrams of the I Ching, you will probably treat it as the number nine and never find the secret passage in your whole life!"
Hu Bayi was somewhat excited.
Along the way, Li Yang single-handedly resolved several crises, and he also provided crucial advice when dealing with certain matters.
This tomb raider was completely useless!
This made Hu Bayi feel inferior.
Now that this toad-shaped mechanism has appeared, Hu Bayi can finally show off his skills.
"It will take some brainpower to figure out how many different arrangements of these stone toads there are."
"Moreover, these mechanisms should be pushed one by one from left to right in sequence. If you move them randomly and fail to align them correctly three times in a row, the mechanism will completely jam!"
After carefully studying the toad mechanism, Hu Bayi called to Wang Pangzi, and the two of them moved the stone toad together.
The two followed the nine-curved loop, opening and closing the toad's mouth from left to right.
Hu Bayi repeatedly used the "Shield" character scroll from the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and the conversion formula from the "Yi Long Jing" to arrange the stone toads one by one according to their corresponding positions.
After all this was done, there was no reaction in the temple, and the secret passage that Hu Bayi had guessed did not appear.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, the 'Nine-Bend Winding Mountain Shore' should be correct, so why didn't we see any hidden doors open?"
Hu Bayi felt a little embarrassed. He had wanted to show off, but instead he had looked like a fool.
The expectant expressions on the faces of the others turned to disappointment.
Professor Chen looked at Li Yang expectantly.
"What do you think, Comrade Li?"
Li Yang smiled and tried to save face for Hu Bayi, saying, "Brother Hu's words and actions were correct, but he overlooked one point!"
Hu Bayi hurriedly asked, "Which point?"
Li Yang pointed outside the temple.
"The secret door might not be inside the hall; it could be outside!"
Hu Bayi suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing what was happening, and then rushed out in a hurry.
Others followed.
soon.
Inside the giant, fiery red gourd in front of the mountain god's temple, the group discovered a hidden door.
The fiery red gourd was split in two, revealing a stone door underneath.
The stone gate was built in the shape of a toad's mouth, flat and short, made of fiery red ochre, with some simple patterns carved on it, and two large copper rings on the left and right sides that can be pulled upwards.
After the stone door was opened, a narrow passage was revealed, which was pitch black inside.
Just as Hu Bayi was about to fire a flare inside, Lin Wanyu pulled out her magic wand and said, "Let me do it."
Fluorescent flashing!
A light emanated from the tip of the wand.
However, the area illuminated by the light was limited, making it impossible to see the entire passageway.
Lin Wanyu stuck out her tongue and said to everyone with an embarrassed smile, "Give me another chance!"
As she spoke, she increased the output of her magic.
soon.
The light emitted by the fluorescent flashing is a hundred times stronger!
Lin Wanyu used a certain technique to flick her wand, sending the huge ball of light into the air, like a full moon, completely illuminating the scene inside the cave.
"I'm a distinguished graduate of Hogwarts, this little thing is no challenge for me!"
Lin Wanyu was full of pride. As she spoke, she glanced curiously into the passageway, then instantly hid back into the crowd like a frightened little rabbit, tightly holding onto Hu Yifei's arm.
Seeing that she seemed frightened, everyone craned their necks to look into the hole.
On either side of the narrow passage were two irregular pits filled with white bones and a large number of huge, cone-shaped ivory tusks, which were undoubtedly burial pits.
At the end of the passage, in the dim light, one can see the shimmering surface of water, which must be an underground river.
The group ventured deep into the underground cave and prepared to cross the underground river using the inflatable kayaks they had brought.
When the boat reached the middle of the water, Hu Bayi belatedly realized, "This is not an underground river, but an underground lake, shaped very much like an upside-down gourd!"
"The narrow entrance is the mouth of the gourd, the place where we just entered the water is the belly of the gourd, and the cave behind us is the waist of the gourd!"
"Let's keep paddling forward. We should soon reach the widest part of the gourd-shaped waterway, where the water is widest!"
No sooner had Hu Bayi finished speaking than Li Yang suddenly said, "Everyone, prepare yourselves, there's something in this underground lake!"
Everyone immediately became alert.
Lu Ziqiao asked curiously, "Could it be some kind of weird stuff again?"
Li Yang smiled and asked, "Is there anything else here that isn't sinister?"
"As far as I know, a giant Huo's Immortal Worm lives in this underground lake. It was also used by the King of Xian to kill it."
hiss~
Professor Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "The Huo's immortal worm is a creature that only existed in the Cambrian period hundreds of millions of years ago. It can only survive in environments with high oxygen content... Its extinction is also related to the sharp decline in the oxygen content of the earth."
"I never imagined that the Huo Clan's Undying Worm would exist in this Worm Valley!"
Upon hearing Li Yang's reminder, Hu Yifei immediately released her divine sense.
His divine sense easily penetrated the water's surface, revealing every detail of the surrounding scenery.
Followed by.
Hu Yifei's face turned very ugly, as if she was extremely angry and on the verge of exploding.
She clenched her teeth and warned through gritted teeth, "Something is about to emerge from underwater, everyone be careful!"
"That thing must have been created by the Prince of Xian using living people... Damn the Prince of Xian, I wish I could split this place in two with one sword!"
No one understood why Hu Yifei was suddenly so angry, but Li Yang probably did.
Suddenly, a faint white figure appeared on the surface of the water not far away.
It was a female corpse!
The woman's body was enveloped in a faint blue light, a cold light that symbolized death and icy chill, giving one a bone-chilling feeling upon first glance.
Followed by.
Several more floating corpses appeared, all lying face up with their arms and legs bent downwards, in an indescribably awkward posture, as if their joints were broken!
More and more female corpses emerged from the water. In just a few minutes, thousands of dead bodies were floating on the lake!
These ghostly spirits emitted a sinister phosphorescent glow, illuminating the originally dark cave. However, this light made one feel as if they had fallen into an icy hell!
The searchlight shone on the dead floating object, and only then could everyone see what it looked like.
The arms and legs of these female corpses were twisted off, and their limbs were curled up at an incredible angle under their bodies, while they were hugging an olive-shaped, translucent object!
This transparent object resembles a giant cocoon, with layers upon layers of transparent membranes, like a giant piece of amber!
The surface of the cocoon is covered with red lines, and it twitches from time to time.
Inside the cocoon, there was a huge shadow, and its shape looked like an unborn fetus!
For a while.
Everyone's faces turned extremely ugly; they finally understood why Hu Yifei was so angry!
Fatty Wang swallowed hard, staring at Hu Bayi in shock and anger.
"Old Hu, could these dead spirits have been made by the Prince of Xian using pregnant women?"
Hu Bayi remained silent, but his cold and angry expression answered everything.
Hao Aiguo was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot.
"Although I am an archaeologist and should treat every tomb owner with respect, right now I wish I could drag King Xian out of the main tomb and grind his bones to dust!"
Professor Chen pursed his lips tightly, not stopping his beloved student's irrational remarks, because even he was shocked by the King's cruelty and inhumanity, and was very angry!
These dead boats blocked the way for the kayaks, obstructing their progress.
Li Yang sat at the very front of the kayak, his eyes fixed on the dead drift.
Within these floating corpses reside two twisted souls!
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Huo Clan's Immortal Worm! Saving Infant Spirits! A New Reward!
Li Yang stared at the two twisted, wailing souls on the dead body.
One is the soul of a female corpse!
Secondly, because she was still unborn, she was cruelly executed by the King.
Those unborn infants were used by the King of Xian to kill them, and were then placed in a mortal coffin.
These infant spirits possess the spirits within the mother's womb, causing them to...
These monsters are the ones that chased the main characters to Minglou in the web series.
at this time.
Thousands of Su's children mourned the passing of the small village.
A faint red mist drifted across the lake.
This red mist was a special gas emitted from the mouthparts of the Ho's Immortal Worm, capable of making these creatures...
Hu Yifei appeared beside Li Yang, her voice icy and filled with intense killing intent.
Do you know how these female corpses were tortured into this state?
Her killing intent was not directed at Li Yang, but at the Prince Xian who built this place!
If Prince Xian really did become an immortal thanks to the top-tier feng shui formation of the Water Dragon Halo, Li Yang even believed that Hu Yifei would definitely draw her sword and kill Prince Xian, ensuring that he would never be reincarnated!
Li Yang sighed, "I barely know a little bit."
"Tell me about it!"
"In fact, these dead spirits were both guards built by King Xian for his own tomb and food for the Huo clan's immortal worm!"
"The King first gathered a large group of pregnant women and implanted a seed inside them. The seed and the unborn child within them merged into one, becoming a 'treasured fetus.' Then, the seed was used to implant the seed into the fetus's body."
"Then, the King poured a substance similar to molten pine resin, or boiling tree sap, directly onto the women's bodies, connecting it to the genitals in their bosoms."
"After the resin cooled, the Prince Xian drilled many small holes in the amber. Because the resin was dense and porous, it was difficult to penetrate deeply. Therefore, he carefully drilled numerous small holes into the amber. This allowed for the creation of a unique and effective method for controlling the resin's structure."
"And training na judgment scraping engraving scabbard gou step side visit lang shun gui, wei shao huai hong xi sai nao can zheng ?"
"These fleshy fungi are the food of that Huo's Immortal Worm!"
"King Xian will surely try to restrict the excretory function of that Huo's Immortal Worm. In this way, the Huo's Immortal Worm, which devours the dead creatures, will be unable to digest that hard amber substance, nor will it be able to excrete it through its intestines!"
