Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 45: The Book of Dao in the Underground Palace

This time, everyone went straight into the underground palace. The people from Xiangling were indeed well prepared and even brought a lot of pigeons with them.

There was a corridor in front of them. After seeing Lu Li display his prowess just now, it was finally their turn to show off, so Chen Yulou ordered people to release the pigeons into the corridor.

As soon as the pigeon entered, it triggered the mechanism, and countless sharp arrows flew out from the walls on both sides and killed the pigeon. After all the arrows were shot, everyone continued to move forward.

As the mechanism was broken, the group arrived at the stone gate.

"There must be a treasure behind the mechanism." Chen Yulou said.

Looking at the people around him, Lu Li also sighed that these were all miserable people, and there were also many righteous people, such as Kunlun. Lu Li liked this honest big man who protected his master with his life. Every time he saw him, he would scratch his head and smile. Forget it, just protect him.

Everyone stepped forward and pushed open the stone door. Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew out, indicating that no one had been in for many years. A large coffin was hung in the middle of the room, and nine stone coffins were placed around it, as if guarding the coffin in the middle.

Partridge Whistle and others were hesitating whether to go in or not, as it didn't look simple inside. Luo Laowai was looking at Chen Yulou, and Chen Yulou wanted to go in after all, he had come this far.

Finally, everyone looked at Lu Li. After all, Lu Li was the most capable person here. Lu Li was looking at the curse on the stone door. When watching TV series, he was curious about what was written on it. On the stone door, it was written in ancient seal script: Anyone who enters without permission will be pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow or enter the hell of fire and die. This is a curse or a warning.

Lu Li warned everyone not to touch anything, especially looking at Luo Laowai. Luo Laowai had seen Lu Li's abilities, so he naturally didn't dare to joke with his life this time.

"Wow, this guy really knows how to enjoy himself. When he died, he even found so many concubines to be buried with him." Luo Laowai said when he walked in and saw the burial site with nine stars holding up the moon.

Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao, two people who often rob tombs, have never seen this kind of tomb layout.

"Stand still," Lu Li said with a serious expression.

"This is the nine stars holding the moon. The Big Dipper's seven stars, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, plus eight Zuofu and nine Youbi, form the nine stars. The nine stars holding the moon have changed dramatically. Good or bad luck is hard to predict, and there are hidden traps. This tomb is full of traps. This is a dead end.

"What? A dead end?" Chen Yulou said in disbelief.

"Yes. There must be various mechanisms hidden here to prevent people who enter the tomb from leaving. This is an urn city that protects the underground palace. But the entrance to the underground palace must be here as well." Lu Li said as he looked around.

"Don't move, I'll break the mechanism first."

Lu Li jumped up to the second floor. He pulled out the Lightning Sword and cut off the hub of the mechanism. It was indeed a life-threatening move. After hundreds of years, the arrows of the mechanism were still as sharp as before, and the gears of the hidden buckle had not been corroded. After destroying the mechanism, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. There were so many hidden weapons, and if he was unlucky, he would have to suffer this.

He jumped onto the coffin above and fumbled around the edge of the coffin. He really felt a bulge and pressed hard on the wall next to it, which made a rumbling sound. A secret door opened.

Lu Li suddenly found this place familiar. In the plot, the cave dug by the partridge whistle using the pangolin was dug here. Every profession has its own skills. The tunnel was dug so accurately.

At this moment, someone from behind suddenly shouted "What is that?" Everyone looked back and saw sticky liquid dripping from the top of the tomb, sometimes dripping on everyone.

At this time, some people were already screaming. They were all dying because their essence was absorbed by the poisonous insects and their faces rotted.

Lu Li grabbed a handful of fire talismans and threw them out. The insect eggs above were burned to death and fell down one after another. The hatched centipedes were also roasted to death.

The people from Xiangling also began to spread lime on the ground. At this time, Hua Ling pulled Queqiao Shao to a mural. The mural talked about the Zhuchen Pearl, but it only mentioned it in passing. Queqiao Shao showed a painful expression.

Lu Li leaned over to Partridge Whistle's ear and said, "After we get out of the tomb, I'll tell you where to find it."

Lu Li was also very interested in the Phoenix Gallbladder. He estimated that it was a magical tool left behind by the ascetics in ancient times, but he would have to see it to be sure.

Partridge Whistle showed an excited and pleading expression, and Lu Li patted his shoulder and motioned him to follow. This time, Partridge Whistle followed Lu Li firmly.

There was a hall in front of them, and a group of people walked in holding torches.

When they found that there was no mechanism, they scattered to look for treasure. Lu Li did not move but stared at the top of the pillar. He knew that the centipede was here. What Lu Li wanted was the centipede's inner elixir, which was a great treasure. It was probably not inferior to the treasures of heaven and earth.

Sure enough, the centipede started to move, attacking a soldier and biting off half of his body. Everyone was shocked and opened fire. Unfortunately, the centipede was too big and had an outer armor, so the bullets were not fatal.

Partridge Whistle also started to fight with the centipede. Lu Li didn't want to wait any longer. He took off the corpse lock wrapped around his shoulder, put it directly on the centipede's head, and jumped onto the centipede with a pull.

"Don't stop, you evil creature!" Lu Li shouted.

The centipede has become a spirit, but because it swallowed too much poison from the elixir, it has lost its mind.

Lu Li said no more and used the Five-Strike Lightning Fist to strike out. Lightning landed on the centipede, and the centipede's body began to crack and twist in pain. After several consecutive punches, smoke came out of the centipede's body, and finally it became motionless.

The people who were hiding also came to Lu Li. Chen Yulou said in surprise: "Such a big centipede must have cultivated into a monster. Brother Lu is really capable. If you were not a disciple of Maoshan, I would really like you to stay. I would let you be the head of Xiangling. From now on, brothers who go to the tombs will no longer have to worry about ghosts and zongzi."

Everyone burst into laughter and looked relieved. With such a strong supporter, they felt relieved.

Lu Li cut open the centipede's head and took out the inner elixir from it. No one knew what it was. Lu Li explained it and everyone was surprised that this centipede had such a treasure. Luo Laowai was still studying whether this thing could be used to make wine.

After putting away the inner elixir, Lu Li walked into the hall.

Sure enough, there was a large alchemy furnace and an alchemy well in the hall. Lu Li went down to the alchemy well and saw several alchemy furnaces below. He also saw the body of Guanshan Taibao. In order to prevent the snakes and insects in the mountains from planting poison in the body, the poison would spread after death and anyone who touched it would lose their mind.

Lu Li did not go to see the corpse, but searched everywhere for the preserved alchemy classics and the books collected by these alchemists. These were the secrets that Lu Li had brought down. Unfortunately, only a few books were well preserved. Chen Yulou and others also came down. Lu Li told them not to touch the corpse because it was poisonous and went up to the main hall.

I searched around but didn't find anything useful. They were also a group of alchemists. What else could they do besides alchemy? I briefly read the books in my hands: "Alchemy Collection", "The True Explanation of Alchemy", "Liu Ji Dao Jing", and "The Narrative of the Ancient Qigong Practitioner".

Liu Ji? Liu Bowen? This man is a god. It is said that he is well versed in feng shui and fortune-telling. Guanshan Taibao was founded by Liu Bowen. Cutting the dragon veins is a big deal. This is a big harvest. Lu Li showed a happy expression.

Chen Yulou, Luo Laowai and others came up and cursed: "This damn Yuan people are so damn poor, where is the treasure we promised? How much is it worth?"

"Of course there is no treasure, and have you seen the body of the Yuan Dynasty general? This is a fake tomb, it's just the place where emperors of different generations made elixirs. Is it really on the top of the mountain?" Lu Li said.
