Chapter 262 Lao Coffin Mountain, the situation in the underground palace!
The matter of the sycamore tree has been dealt with.
Liu Henghu repeatedly told Monk Longdeng that it would be fine if no one asked. If anyone asked, they had never been to Jianfeng Temple.
What happens after that is simple.
The medicine has been developed, and the Ding family will definitely send someone to get the medicine in the next few days.
It won't take long for the medicine to be delivered to the two elders of the Ding family, as long as they take it.
Hey, it’s going to be fun next time.
......
"Brother Hu, please go down the mountain first. I have some things to do. I will go back after finishing it."
Coming out of Jianfeng Temple, Chen Yang had no plans He went down the mountain immediately. This time he came to Jianfeng Temple for another purpose.
Liu Henghu looked at him strangely, "You don't want to explore the underground palace, do you?"
"How is it possible? I can't go there without being completely sure. I made an appointment with a friend. Meet here.”
Chen Yang gave a simple reason.
Liu Henghu did not ask further, "Then be careful. If anything happens, give me a call. After you come down from the mountain, remember to contact me and make an appointment to go to Baoguo Temple."
"Okay."
Watching Liu Henghu go away, Chen Yang turned around, walked onto a mountain trail, and headed deep into the mountains.
......
——
This Bamian Mountain is really deserted.
Most areas on the mountain are rarely visited by people. There are big trees and deep forests, and there are countless ferocious birds and beasts, not to mention snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
This road was visited by Chen Yang last time when he was chasing Liu Changqing.
The road is quite familiar. This is the direction to the underground palace. Chen Yang has another purpose this time, which is to meet He Shiwu and understand the situation of the underground palace.
……
Red Creek Valley.
There are hundreds of walls standing there, and a red stream gurgling out from the Yellow Ox Cave.
Against the background of the setting sun, the water in the stream looked even more shocking, like a river of blood flowing out from under the Nine Netherworld.
On the grass in front of Huangniu Cave, the traces of the last battle and burning are still there.
Hundreds of bat corpses were cremated on the spot that day. Some were not completely burned and the corpses rotted. There was a faint stench in the valley, attracting many scavenging birds and beasts.
Chen Yang's arrival alarmed these birds and beasts, and they dispersed one after another.
He pinched his nose and went directly to the bottom of the cliff without thinking of staying here.
The huge cliff, like a city wall, stands in the valley. The smooth cliff is also covered with red moss, which is a bit dazzling.
Climbing over this cliff is the only way to the underground palace.
This cliff is hundreds of meters high, almost vertically upwards. There are not many footing points on it. Let alone ordinary people, without professional climbing tools, even Chen Yang, no matter how good his qinggong is. , and dare not try it easily.
He walked around the bottom of the cliff and found some vines hanging from the top of the cliff on one side of the cliff.
The vines of the golden bell vine are old vines with thick hemp ropes. They are twisted and intertwined and covered with moss.
It looks like poisonous snakes attached to the cliff.
Isn’t this a natural mountain climbing tool?
Chen Yang grabbed a vine and pulled hard to make sure it was strong and could fully bear his weight. Then he took a deep breath, found a soft spot on the ground, and grabbed it. Fujiko, climb up.
Why choose a place with soft ground?
He was also afraid of falling. The ground was softer, and if he fell, he might have a little more hope of survival.
However, his worries were obviously unnecessary.
The vines of the golden bell vine are very strong. With the help of his strong arm strength, he climbed to the top of the hundred-meter-high cliff in less than twenty minutes.
The entire cliff is like a solid stone. On the top of the cliff, the terrain is smooth, with only some red moss and shrubs growing.
The widest part of the cliff top is only about thirty meters, and the narrow part is even less than half a meter. Standing on the cliff, there are cliffs on both sides. There are several old trees growing on the cliff, which are covered with Golden bell vine.
The setting sun was shining slantingly, Chen Yang stood in the wind, and the shadow of the old man was long on the cliff.
On the other side of the cliff is a deep ravine of several hundred meters, which is much lower than the terrain on this side of the Red Creek Valley.
Farther away, there are three peaks squeezed together, forming a valley in the middle of the peaks. Although there is sunlight, you can still see layers of mist precipitating from it.
Liu Henghu told him the location of the underground palace.
Climbing over the cliff of Hongxi Valley, you can see three peaks standing tall.
These three peaks look like three peaks, but they are actually the same mountain, called Lao Coffin Mountain.
One of the valleys is called Shiwang Valley, and the underground palace is in this valley.
There is a saying that the origin of Shiwang Valley is because this place is related to a powerful man named Shi from the Pingtian Sect a hundred years ago.
There is another saying that this place was not called the Valley of the Stone King, but the Valley of the Corpse King. Because the local stone and corpse in Lingjiang have almost the same pronunciation, later generations mistakenly said that the corpse king was the stone king.
It is also said that this place was originally called Death Valley.
However, this is not important anymore. The name is just a code name and it cannot change anything.
Looking at the valley from a distance, Chen Yang felt an inexplicable tightening in his heart, as if there was some great terror hidden there.
There was a voice in his heart warning him not to get close, never get close.
“Huh!”
Chen Yang took a deep breath to get rid of the inexplicable fear.
He came to the edge of the cliff, and there were several ropes tied to the trunk of a red pine tree.
The rope extended directly to the bottom of the cliff.
He stepped forward and pulled.
I don’t know how long this rope has been entangled here. It has been exposed to the sun and rain and has long since rotted. With a slight force, the rope broke directly.
Cannot be used at all.
Maybe it was left behind by Liu Henghu when he came here last time.
The last time they went to the underground palace was when old principal Chen Jingyun was still alive.
That was eight years ago.
If the rope cannot be used, then the golden bell vine can only be used.
Chen Yang pulled a golden bell vine from one side of the Hongxi Valley and lowered it down the cliff.
At this time, he discovered the problem.
The terrain on this side is much lower, and the cliff is more than twice as high as the one on the Red Creek Valley side. The golden bell vine cannot reach the bottom of the cliff at all, not even half of it.
How to go about this?
Halfway down, do you want to jump straight down? Still not falling to death?
Chen Yang frowned.
He found two more stronger golden bell vines and connected them with the previous vines, but they were only about 200 meters away and could not reach the bottom of the cliff either.
He touched his forehead and felt a headache for a moment.
I was not fully prepared and came a little hastily. If I had known better, I would have prepared several hundred meters of climbing rope.
He is still more confident in his Qinggong.
With such a precipitous cliff, Qinggong has no use at all.
We’re all here. If we don’t go down, He Shiwu won’t know he’s coming.
How to do this?
How about making some noise?
Let He Shiwu know that he is coming, and he should take the initiative to come to him.
Visual inspection shows that Shiwang Valley is only one or two kilometers away from here.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang took a deep breath, held his hands to his mouth, and roared loudly.
"Hey..."
He is now physically strong enough, and his voice is naturally scary.
This roar is like a tiger roaring in the forest.
The sound wave followed the wind, and I don’t know how far it was sent.
The echoes echoed in the surrounding peaks for a long time.
"Drink..."
"Ha..."
"Hey..."
"Ahem..."
……
He roared several times in succession, and the cold wind rushed in, almost choking him.
“You should be able to hear it, right?”
He did not dare to call He Shishi’s name directly. After all, there was not only an evil creature like He Shishi in the underground palace. Let those foxy friends know that it is a traitor, and they are not sure how to deal with it.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the direction of the valley.
Chen Yang’s face was dark.
With such a loud voice, there was no reason why He Shiwu couldn't notice it.
Maybe it’s not convenient for her to come out now.
Wait a minute.
Chen Yang comforted himself so much that he found a more open place on the top of the cliff and sat down against a big tree on the edge of the cliff. The sunset, which was not hot at all, set over the mountain.
The temperature in the mountains dropped sharply, and the wind on the cliff top was blowing, making my hands a little cold.
Chen Yang took a coat from the system warehouse and wore it.
It was getting dark gradually, and there was still no movement in the direction of Shiwang Valley.
Chen Yang was a little depressed.
He took out his compound bow and shot an arrow in the direction of Stone King Valley.
If you stand high, the arrow will naturally fly far.
There was a sound.
The arrow shot through the air.
Falled straight into the Stone King Valley.
He calculated the approximate time for the arrow to hit the ground, and secretly calculated that the distance between the two places should be about two thousand meters.
With such a small distance and his own voice, there should be no reason why He Shiwu wouldn't be able to hear him if he was in the underground palace.
So, he waited for more than an hour.
It has become completely dark.
A sparse sound came from the cliff.
A large vine, like a huge spider, clings tightly to the cliff from the bottom of the dark cliff, quickly coming towards the top of the cliff.
After a while, the green Polygonum multiflorum vines climbed to the top of the cliff.
"Chen Yang..."
A mature female voice sounded in Chen Yang's mind.
“It’s finally here.”
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought you were dead.”
The vines in front of her were full of Polygonum multiflorum vines, which seemed to be doing well during this period. The vines on her body were a bit more lush than when Chen Yang first saw her.
"It was difficult for me to come out rashly during the day. They went to Coffin Mountain to look for food, so I took advantage of the opportunity and came out."
He Shishi explained, his voice carrying A bit excited, "Chen Yang, have you brought me medicine?"
"It's not even a month yet? What's the rush?"
Chen Yang shook his head.
It's only been half a month, so there's no need to give her medicine so quickly.
He Shishi was stagnant, a little disappointed.
When he was about to ask Chen Yang why he came, he saw Chen Yang pulling out a small seal from his neck.
"Use your spiritual power to carve a spiritual mark on this seal." Chen Yang said.
“Uh, this is...”
He Shishi was startled, she was a little scared by Chen Yang.
"Shan Yu Seal."
Chen Yang was very honest, "Leave your spiritual imprint. In the future, we can communicate directly spiritually without having to go through such trouble and expense as now. Jin.”
“Shanyu Seal?”
He Shishi was a little surprised. Obviously, she knew about Shanyu Seal.
After being stunned for half a second, she stretched out a vine and rolled it towards the Shanyu Seal in Chen Yang's hand.
The Shanyu Seal is slightly hot, a little hot to the touch.
Soon, He Shiwu took back Fujiko.
One person, one vine, tried it, and the spiritual communication was not hindered.
Chen Yang then put away the Shan Yu Seal.
After running all the way here and being blown by the cold wind for several hours, the main goal was achieved.
From now on, he can communicate with He Shiwu in real time about the situation in the underground palace, which will be much more convenient.
"Tell me about the situation in the underground palace."
Chen Yang took a few bowls of self-heating rice from the system warehouse and heated it up on his own. This late at night, He was still hungry.
“What do you want to know?”
"Those little friends of yours!"
"Uh..."
He Shishiyizai said, "The underground palace is very big, and there are many powerful beings in it. Each has its own sphere of influence. The five of us The boss of the Beigong, who is entrenched in the underground palace, is the Snake King Qingqi. It is a bamboo leaf green. It has been enlightened for a hundred years. It is only one step away from the realm of creation. It is preparing to break through recently..."
"The second child It’s a white fox, we call it Lady Fox; the third child is a lynx, called Cat Saburo; the fourth child is me; the fifth child is a cowgrass, named Niuteng..."
"The few of us are all protected by the boss. There are many tyrannical people in the underground palace. Some places are very dangerous, and we don't dare to break in. As far as I know, there is a pangolin entrenched in Nangong. Our boss and it We fought, no matter the outcome..."
"There is a konjac in the West Palace, and it is about to enter the realm of creation. Last time, the Ding family came in from the West Palace and were targeted by the konjac. More than 20 people were all caught in the illusion. If I hadn't asked our boss to secretly If we take action, none of them will be able to escape, and they will all become fertilizer for the konjac plant."
"On the other side of the East Palace, at the innermost side of the underground palace, the situation is not very clear. There is a Gu River in the middle. , the river is full of poisonous poison, even our boss dare not wade across it. Across the river, you can see a stone gate on the opposite side. When Ding Huanchun was here, he often ran inside, and there was a big terror hidden inside... "
...
He Shiwu came and explained everything in detail to Chen Yang.
In other words, He Shiwu and her friends were just a force in the underground palace.
There are quite a few powerful beings in that underground palace.
Even He Fifteen dare not say that he fully understands the forces in the underground palace. There are many places in the underground palace that even He Fifteen dare not set foot in.
Chen Yang was puzzled, "What are you guys doing in that underground palace?"
He Shiwu said, "There are many reasons, the most important thing is, In the underground palace, our growth rate is much faster than outside..."
"In addition, it is also your fault, humans, for forcing us to hide in the mountains and forests over the years. Dare to appear in your human world, otherwise, we will either be killed by you, or we will be enslaved as pets. We don’t want to be killed or enslaved, so what else can we do besides hiding?”
...
Chen Yang’s face trembled.
He Shishi’s words were a little helpless.
However, there are also biases. Nowadays, aren’t the protected spiritual plants, such as yellow kudzu trees and sycamore trees, living well?
Those who were raised in captivity, such as the giant eagle in Baoguo Temple, the black tiger, and the old yellow, are all treated as friends, and they live a good life.
The human world is actually not as scary as they imagined. There are always more good people than bad people.
For someone like He Shiwu, who never does good things or bad things, who would she do?
“Has this Snake King Qingqi ever stayed in Mi Xian Gou?” Chen Yang said.
“Not bad!”
He Shiwu replied, “Sixty years ago, the old snake king in Mixiangou broke through the realm of creation and was struck to death by thunder, which frightened it. , later, it became the new snake king of Mi Nian Gou. As its strength improved, the shadow of the old snake king being struck by lightning had always affected it, making it uneasy all day long. Especially when it felt that destiny was approaching, it wanted to change. Environment..."
"So, twenty years ago, it left Mixingou and came to the Bamianshan Underground Palace..."
...
Twenty years ago.
Song Kaiming entered Mi Nian Valley around 2000. It was also at that time that he discovered the giant snake shedding. In other words, at that time, this giant bamboo leaf green was still in Mi Nian Valley.
The time is right.
After this snake left the rice noodle ditch, the new snake king should be the huge king cobra.
"Where did that cockscomb snake come from?" Chen Yang was a little curious about the cockscomb snake.
He always thought that the Cockscomb Snake was the snake king in Mixiangou, but later he found out that it was not the case.
He Shiwu said, "It is the son of the old Snake King. It is a different species. Although it is powerful, it is small in size. The spiritual snakes were born in Mixiangou. They look down on it to some extent. It is the same as the Cobra King. I competed for the position of Snake King, but ended in failure. After that, I have been wandering in the rice noodle ditch, thinking about seizing the position, but unfortunately I met you..."
Chen Yang's face shook, he was very unlucky to meet me. What?
Maybe, it's really unlucky.
Next, He Shiwu told Chen Yang the specific situation in the underground palace.
Chen Yang listened carefully while eating.
"Is there a creation realm in the underground palace?" Chen Yang asked at the end.
"This..."
He Shiwu smiled awkwardly, "I haven't encountered it yet, but the space in the underground palace is too big, and I haven't been able to fully explore it. Therefore, it's hard to say whether there is a realm of creation in the underground palace. At least, I haven't for the time being. I have encountered..."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment.
If there was a realm of creation, Chen Yang would never have the idea of exploring the underground palace.
"That's right!"
He Shishi suddenly seemed to think of something, "I heard from Boss Qingqi that there is a big guy on Lao Coffin Mountain who may wake up. , may pose a considerable threat to us..."
"What big guy?"
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and swallowed the rice in his mouth.
He Shiwu said, "I don't know, but there are coffins everywhere on Lao Coff Mountain. They are lifeless. To be taken so seriously by Boss Qingqi, it is probably not a good thing. I'm not sure what caused it. The evil thing..."
Funny!
The word "evil" actually came out of He Shiwu's mouth. Isn't it itself an evil thing?
Still sitting here fifty steps and laughing a hundred steps.
“Coffin?”
Chen Yang was a little stunned.
He Shiwu said, "On the cliffs in the valley, there are hanging coffins everywhere, thousands of them. The number is scary!"
"It should be leftover from some previous war. Yes, Chen Yang, are you interested? Would you like to come with me to visit the valley?”
Her voice was a bit encouraging.
