Chapter 158 The palace is a lamp

"Poof!"

The Jinyi Guards formation collided with the group of Mao Zong immediately, and the Mao Zong in front was quickly cut down to the ground.

These Jinyi guards are all elites in the army, and they can easily cut off the heads of these ordinary people when they deal with them.

For a moment, Mao Zong in front fell down like wheat, and the entire army rushed over.

But after such a delay, Mao Zheng from behind and in the alleys on the left and right sides caught up with him.

"Shoot them!"

The archer behind listened to the order and immediately raised his crossbow and fired arrows one after another, piercing Mao Zheng's head and nailing him to the wall.

"Roar!"

"Hoho!!"

There was another roar from the front, and another group of Mao Zongs were seen running out of the streets and alleys, heading towards the crowd.

From a further distance, the roar was even louder, as if the entire underground capital had come alive.

Looking at Mao Zheng coming like a tide in front of him, Chen Liancang frowned and said: "Grenade."

"Grenade ready!"

Zhang Jianping shouted, and more than ten Jinyi guards around him immediately took off the grenade from their waists and pulled the fuse away.

"Chi..."

More than ten grenades were immediately thrown two hundred meters away by these Jin Yiwei. After a few breaths, they were followed by more than ten consecutive explosions.

The group of hairy zombies in the distance were immediately blown away, and some were even blown into pieces of flesh and blood, with their broken limbs flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many Jin Yiwei charged and suddenly rushed into the area of Yiningfang.

"Go on!"

This underground capital city was said to be built in imitation of the capital city more than three hundred years ago, but the proportions were reduced countless times, so they quickly approached the next city at the speed of everyone.

"Boom!"

Another violent roar came, hundreds of fur zombies were killed and blown to pieces, and many Jin Yiwei rushed into Pingkangfang in one go.

The tall white marble steps of the Imperial City in the distance are clearly visible.

Just like this, they used grenades to clear the way and blew up groups of hairy zombies. Many Jin Yiwei actually rushed to the edge of the palace without any danger.

In front of the tall vermilion city wall, the densely packed Mao Zong no longer dared to chase, but just lay on the ground at the edge of the palace and roared.

But no matter how they roared, they did not dare to take a step further.

It was as if there was something in this palace that they must be afraid of.

Among the team of more than a hundred people, only a dozen unlucky ones were scratched by Mao Zheng, and surprisingly no one died.

Hu Bafeng quickly sealed the wound scratched by Mao Zong with glutinous rice, temporarily blocking the spread of the corpse poison.

At the same time, Chen Liancang was found.

"Father, these Mao Zong don't dare to approach the palace. It may be related to the Feng Shui of this big tomb."

"Hehehe, how dare ordinary people approach the palace?"

Chen Liancang turned around and looked at the tall city wall and ordered: "Everyone rest on the spot and continue moving forward in half an hour."

"No!"

Many Jin Yiwei sat on the spot and began to eat the dry food, dried meat and water they had brought with them.

Chen Liancang was walking back and forth at the gate of the city wall and constantly observing his surroundings.

Several scouts and Colonel Mojin followed the city wall to both sides to see if there was a gate.

Behind the city wall, there are huge white marble steps that tower into the clouds, winding upward, even for thousands of meters!

"Father-in-law."

"What's the matter?"

Hu Bafeng came over and said worriedly: "This tomb is a replica of the capital city more than three hundred years ago."

"Since there are Mao Zongs transformed by the common people in the city, will there also be ones in the imperial city..."

"Ah!"

Before the words could be finished, a scream suddenly came from the distance. Many Jin Yiwei immediately stood up and looked cautiously at the direction where the scream came from.

"Let's go over and take a look!"

With an order, many Jin Yiwei quickly took action and rushed towards the direction where the screams came from.

Soon, two Jinyi guards covered in blood were seen running over from a distance.

"Father-in-law! There is a mechanism ahead!"

"Ka, ka ka ka..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw figures suddenly appearing on the wall in the distance.

And the building in front of them also revealed its true appearance.

The tall gate tower, the majestic city gate, and the cornices carved with dragons and phoenixes all reveal the majesty of this city gate.

At the city gate, there were two corpses that were stared at.

The Jin Yiwei who escaped with his life said in a trembling voice: "Father, as soon as we approached the city gate, arrows suddenly shot out from the city wall. I escaped by walking behind."

"It seems that the mechanisms on this city wall have an attack range. As long as you exit that range, you will not be attacked..."

"Special agency?"

Chen Liancang looked towards the city wall and was shocked to find three big characters with dragons and phoenixes engraved on it.

"Shenwumen!"

"Shenwu Sect? This is actually the Shenwu Sect?"

Chen Liancang looked around. There were rows of dense figures on both sides of the city wall. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be steel figurines that looked like real people!

They were holding crossbows that looked simple and old, but were extremely sharp, and they were pointing them at the ground.

Every few dozen meters, there are actually bed crossbows specially designed for attacking cities!

"Father-in-law..."

Hu Bafeng hurriedly ran over and said: "My men came to report that there are almost iron figurines on the entire city wall, and they are still moving. We can't get in at all."

"Can't get in?"

Chen Liancang looked at the tall Shenwu Sect and the rows of steel figurines pointing in this direction, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

"Hu Bafeng, you said that this imperial mausoleum was built according to the capital city more than 300 years ago. Mao Jiang in the city is an ordinary citizen, so the palace should be filled with imperial guards, concubines, eunuchs, maids, and the prince and grandson."
< br>

"Maybe..."

Hu Bafeng was not sure, but he still said: "All large tombs are carefully built by their owners, and they all have different mechanisms and settings."

"Perhaps this is the setting in the Emperor Taizu's mausoleum. The king of heaven and earth is his teacher, and the moral code of human beings is constant..."

"Our family understands."

Chen Liancang said calmly, and then walked slowly towards the direction of Shenwu Sect.

"Father-in-law?"

"You will wait here."

After saying that, they continued to move forward. Many Jin Yiwei and Captain Mo Jin were all too angry to take a breath, staring at Chen Liancang's back.

Following his movements, the steel figurines on the city wall slowly turned their direction, and at least fifty crossbows were aimed at Chen Liancang.

Suddenly, a hoarse sound like the friction of steel sounded from nowhere.

"He who comes, stop!" "This is... the imperial city!"

"If you go further...kill without mercy!"

Chen Liancang stopped, took one hand out of his arms, and raised it high.

"My servant, the head of the Shadow Guard, would like to see Your Majesty. This is the Shadow Guard token!"

This token is, of course, the identity token of Dayu Shadow Guard,

"Click!"

"Kaka..."

Sure enough, a crack suddenly opened in the door of Shenwu Sect, and a steel figurine slowly walked out.

No, not walking.

Instead, he moved upright.

It was as if the joints in his legs didn't exist.

"Kaka, kakaka..."

With the sound of steel rubbing against each other, the tall steel figurine finally walked up to Chen Liancang.

Chen Liancang's eyes moved. The style of this armor... was very similar to that of Long Xiangjun!

"Click..."

The iron figurine suddenly stretched out his right hand, and Chen Liancang put the token in his hand on it.

A faint light appeared, as if shooting out from the eyes of the iron figurine, shining on the token in his hand.

Chen Liancang looked carefully and found that the eyes of this steel figurine were actually made of a special kind of crystal.

"The head of the Shadow Guard... I have seen him in his humble position..."

A hoarse sound came from the iron figurine again, as if two pieces of iron that had been rusted for a long time were rubbing against each other.

And after saying this, it was as if there was something wrong. After a few hoarse words, he turned around and left.

But the door of Shenwu Sect behind him slowly opened.

On the city wall, the many steel figurines slowly returned to their original positions, and the crossbows in their hands were also lowered.

"Father-in-law?"

"Let's go, it should be safe."

Chen Liancang put away the token and walked in first.

"Everyone should follow our family closely. The rules in this underground palace should be the same as those in the palace. Only those with tokens can move around freely. Don't get lost."

"No!"

A group of people cautiously stepped into the palace and looked at the palace which was exactly the same as it was more than three hundred years ago.

At this moment, bursts of dull puffing sounds suddenly came from the distance.

Immediately, blue lights from far and near suddenly lit up and spread towards the door quickly.

Everyone stopped quickly and looked at their surroundings vigorously.

Hu Bafeng whispered: "We must have encountered a mechanism in the underground palace that can automatically light the lights...Ghost!"

He suddenly exclaimed and quickly retreated, being protected by the Jin Yiwei behind him.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Hu, that's not a ghost, it's just a dead person."

Zhang Jianping grabbed Hu Bafeng. Hu Bafeng calmed down this time, his face a little confused, and he muttered: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, let me take a look..."

He walked up and took a look, and sure enough, what was under the light was not a ghost at all, but a dead body with its whole body tied to a wooden stake and its hands stretched to the sky!

The corpse was in the shape of a twisted snake, completely naked, and its skin had a strange bronze color.

The strange thing is that the abdomen of this corpse is very bloated, like a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for seven or eight months.

There was a wick stuck in the middle of his hands, and the faint blue light was beating slowly.

"Do you smell anything?"

"It smells so good..."

“It smells like pork fat?”

A group of people were talking about it, and Chen Liancang also came over. Hu Bafeng said with a serious face: "Father, this is not dolphin oil, but whale oil!"

"This corpse is filled with whale oil, and then covered with mercury, the evidence corpse can be made into 'human wax' that can be burned for decades or even hundreds of years!"

He looked around and saw countless blue lights appearing densely throughout the imperial city.

In other words, each light represents a human wax and a corpse!

"Here, there are so many people waxing, how many people should there be..."

Chen Liancang just glanced at the human wax body and said coldly: "No matter what, let's go first."

"No!"

Everyone continued to move forward. After a while, Chen Liancang's head suddenly turned and he looked into a corner.

Chen Xiao also quickly discovered it and shouted coldly: "Who is it, come out!"

A black figure slowly walked out and walked towards the crowd.

"Don't do anything yet!"

Under the dim light, everyone could clearly see the figure approaching.

That was actually a... eunuch!

However, this eunuch is very strange. He is thin and pale, and looks like a skeleton wrapped in human skin.

The most obedient thing is that he grabbed it with both hands and waved it downwards over and over again.

It's like... sweeping the floor?

"What is he doing?"

"Mao Zhan?"

"Or some other monster?"

The little eunuch walked tremblingly like this. Under the eyes of everyone who was approaching, the little eunuch turned around and walked past again after walking in front of everyone, his hands still waving.

"Let's go."

Looking at the little eunuch leaving, Chen Liancang seemed to see himself decades ago.

Everyone continued to move forward, and as expected, they discovered a large number of young eunuchs and maids along the way.

They were like walking corpses, doing their own thing in this huge underground palace.

Sweep the floor, water the flowers, and wash the clothes.

Even...

They also saw a group of ghost-like imperial guards guarding the palace, constantly patrolling along the established route.

There was no reaction to Chen Liancang and others who entered the palace, as if they could not see them.

Seeing this scene, everyone became more nervous, and their pupils were full of terror.

Weird, really weird!

finally.

They arrived at the center of the imperial city. The original Jinluan Palace that belonged to Taizu Zheng Mingsen had disappeared, and was replaced by a giant altar about a thousand meters high!

"Up!"
