At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded outside the stone staircase:
"Ouch, what kind of impact is this? Is there anything going on inside?"
"Quick, go down and take a look. !”
“There’s probably a landslide inside!”
Looking around, it turned out that several villagers were talking outside.
The two parties went up and down and met at the entrance of the stone staircase.
"Oh, aren't you part of an adventure tour group? Why did you explore a place like this? What happened inside?"
The villagers looked at the embarrassed Huo family disciples in surprise. , asked while helping the other party out.
"I'm afraid all the people inside...are all dead!"
The Huo family disciple said very sadly.
Then, the disciples of the Huo family told the story about the icicle accident, which attracted a series of exclamations from the villagers.
“We have to tell Miss Huo the news!”
The Huo family disciples rested for a while on the snow mountain and murmured.
The panic on their faces has not disappeared. When they stood up, their legs were obviously still a little weak.
Fortunately, with the help of the villagers, I was able to walk on the rugged snow-capped mountains.
"Oh, I told you before. The mountains are so dangerous. You tell me, there is no better place to go. You have to go underground."
"Now, the whole army is wiped out, right?"
< br>The villagers said with emotion.
After hearing this, the Huo family disciples could only shake their heads helplessly.
“Not counting the entire army being wiped out, three of us escaped.”
When he said this, the Huo family disciples still felt panic in their hearts.
But the villagers seemed to be joking, shook their heads and said:
"No, the whole army was wiped out."
At this time, the Huo family disciples had just emerged from the desperate situation. Escape is very tiring both physically and mentally.
I am not in the mood to joke at all.
Seeing the villagers joking, the disciples of the Huo family turned to look at the villagers and said angrily:
“Didn’t three of us escape?”
But at this moment, Huo family A strong stinging sensation suddenly came from the abdomen of the disciples! Looking down, the villagers were brandishing daggers and stabbing them! The three Huo family disciples were sneak attacked and died on the snow-capped mountains without any room for resistance.
"Hey, so easy?"
The villager pulled out a red knife and said.
"I don't know how many valuable things can be found on them."
On Changbai Mountain, three bright bloodstains looked particularly dazzling on the white ground.
Three Huo family disciples who finally escaped from the icicle died in a way that they did not know.
A moment later, the bright blood stains were covered by the falling snow, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.
The villagers plundered the valuables from the Huo family disciples, then dragged them into a bottomless pit and threw them into it.
"What should we do now?"
The villagers who spoke were still stuffing the looted things into their pockets.
"Of course I reported it truthfully. There was an accident down there, and everyone was killed by icicles!"
The second villager who spoke frowned heavily.
“Cousin, there is blood on my clothes, what should I do?”
The villager who was called cousin looked at him and also frowned.
"Tell me why you are so stupid? No one moved, and you even soiled your clothes?"
As he said that, he pulled out the dagger, and the other party was also touched. He was startled.
"Cousin! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill people and silence them?"
"Go away, you pig brain!"
The man called cousin grabbed the blood-stained cotton clothes, cut them off with a knife, and threw them into the pit.
"Let's go and tell you that your cotton-padded clothes are damaged. Go back and tell the village chief the news."
With that said, several villagers glanced at the pit and turned around to go down the mountain. The way to go.
But when they arrived at the village chief’s house, several villagers’ expressions changed and they said in horror:
“Village Chief! Something happened! There was a landslide under the ground, and everyone inside may have died. Got it!"
"It's not just a landslide, it seems like icicles from the cave have fallen down. I'm afraid they can't escape!"
"Icicles from the entire top of the mountain have all fallen down!"
At this time Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin were communicating with the village chief. When they suddenly heard the news, their expressions suddenly changed, as if they had been struck by lightning.
"What did you say? There was an accident?"
"Quick! Take us to see it quickly!"
Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin had disbelief and horror on their faces.
The villagers must take them to see the scene.
Later, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin led ten Huo family disciples all the way up the snow-capped mountains.
When I arrived at the foot of the Kunlun stone staircase, I looked at the entrance sealed by icicles, and my heart suddenly trembled.
“How could this happen? How could Mr. Chen be so careless!”
Huo Ling's eyes turned red instantly. She took out her dagger and hit the icicles, as if she wanted to dig them out.
“I don’t believe that Mr. Chen will never die in a place like this!”
Chen Wenjin has always been optimistic, but when he saw an icicle thicker than his own thigh, My heart still skipped a beat.
Icicles fell down from an entire cave. Even for Mr. Chen, it seemed extremely difficult to escape!
When she thought about this, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and her eyes were filled with tears. Brushed red.
Following Huo Ling's example, he took out his dagger and stabbed the icicle.
But this icicle has not only appeared for thousands of years.
No matter how hard they dug, there was almost no effect.
"Quickly, dig out the entrance for me!"
After a while, Huo Ling still refused to give up and called on the Huo family disciples to try.
Then he and Chen Wenjin helped him back to the ground.
Farewell to Bai Baixue, both of them felt an unspeakable sadness in their hearts.
"Girl, my condolences, no one wants to see this kind of thing."
The village chief who followed him said comfortingly.
It was obvious that the two girls were in tears. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only retreat silently.
"You guys stay here for a while, let's go back and cook first." "No matter how sad things are, you always have to eat."
With that said, the village chief led The villagers immediately shouted.
After watching the village chief and his people disappear, Huo Ling slowly took out a letter from her clothes bag.
"This, this is the letter Mr. Chen left for me before he set off."
Huo Ling looked at the letter and said to Chen Wenjin.
In his memory, Chen Ze told him to wait until the team went underground before finding an opportunity to open it.
Unexpectedly, she heard sad news before she could open the letter.
“What did the letter say?”
Chen Wenjin asked with a tearful voice.
Huo Ling held the letter in both hands, and a tear fell quietly, hitting the envelope.
Then, Chen Wenjin took the envelope, opened it and read it.
The other side.
The village chief and others returned to the village and summoned the villagers to his home.
“Everyone, no matter what happened to this expedition team, they still paid us, and we still have to cook.”
"I saw the two little girls were very sad. We have to cook this meal well."
"Okay, everyone should know what not to say. Cook this meal well." , Be worthy of the reward you receive.”
After the village chief finished explaining the matter, he called on the villagers to cook.
When everyone was about to leave, the village chief hurriedly stopped them.
“I forgot to mention that the medicine for coma is in the rice.”
Above the snowy mountains.
Chen Wenjin frowned slightly after reading the letter.
Then he handed the letter to Huo Ling.
Huo Ling noticed Chen Wenjin's strange expression, wiped her tears and read the letter.
[There is a problem with the people in the village. More than sixty people died. Perhaps it was the village chief who took the lead. 】
[Be careful of food being poisoned. 】
The content of the letter is not long, but it is beyond the expectations of the person who read the letter.
"Why did Mr. Chen say..."
After reading the letter, a puzzled look appeared on Huo Ling's face.
“Is there a problem with the people in the village?”
Inside the underground palace.
Chen Ze and his team are living well.
Fat Wang was holding a compass, while Hu Bayi was observing.
Shirley Yang was behind the two of them, reminding them of the direction they were going according to the instructions given in the ancient book.
Dozens of flashlights illuminated the road ahead, and the traps and dangers in the room faded away as the fat man laughed.
"This way, this is the southwest door. This door is the 'Shengmen'!"
"My dear, the author of this ancient book is really awesome!"
"Of course, compared to Mr. Chen is still a little behind.”
The fat man followed the compass and selected one of the eight doors and walked to that door.
Hu Bayi, who was following behind, smiled and said:
"I said, Fatty, how long has it been, and you still haven't forgotten to flatter Mr. Chen?"
When Fatty heard the word "flattering", there was nothing strange on his face, and he laughed and said:
“I’m happy!”
“How many times has Mr. Chen saved us? What’s wrong with me flattering you?”
“Mr. Chen, please rest, this room is a trap. , I, the fat man, can do it all by myself!”
This was so funny that everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Even Chen Ze couldn't help but smile, ignoring the crisis at hand and thinking about another question.
According to Yao Xin, what is buried under the Changbai Mountain should be her sister’s ancient country.
But "The Biography of Tu Taishan" also says that this cemetery was built by Wang Zanghai.
Wang Zanghai was just a figure in the early Ming Dynasty, thousands of years apart from the Queen Mother of the West.
Is it possible that this Wang Zanghai actually occupied the ruins of the ancient kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West?
At this time, Hu Bayi said jokingly to the fat man:
“Yes, yes, fat man, what you said is not true. Wrong. "
Hu Bayi was full of respect for Chen Ze, and he actually agreed with the fat man's words.
"Old Hu, Fatty, stop making trouble! The lock on the door is also unlocked based on the Qimen Bagua."
Shirley Yang's voice appeared at the right time, like a supervisor, urging Fatty and Hu Bayi to get down to business.
With the help of the ancient book, Fatty and Hu Bayi easily opened the special lock on the door.
“Lao Hu, work harder!”
The two of them put their hands on the iron door handle and worked together to open the door.
However, after opening the door, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi frowned suddenly!
"Here, how can this be a wall? Old Hu, did we make the wrong choice?"
"No! Fatty, this is not a wall, we have triggered the mechanism!"
"Boom "Long——"
After Fatty and Hu Bayi opened the "sheng door", a huge rumbling sound suddenly appeared in the whole room.
"Lao Hu, Shirley Yang, this is wrong! Why is there a wall behind the door!"
"It's still a moving wall!"
Seeing that something was wrong with the so-called "shengmen", Fatty Wang immediately screamed in horror.
Then, Hu Bayi was startled and blurted out:
“No, Fatty! This is not a birth gate, we have triggered a trap!”
The two pulled together After opening the door, what I saw was not an exit, but a wall with gaps.
Then the wall actually moved like water waves.
Almost at the same time, there was a rumbling sound in the whole room.
Even a fool can guess that they have triggered some kind of mechanism.
For a while, the team became nervous again. (End of this chapter)
