Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Whenever she had time, she would help Xu Nuo analyze the medicinal ingredients in Guanshan Taibao's medicine bottle or prepare medicine for him, and she was busy and happy.

When Xu Nuo hoped that the Taoist monk who could move mountains would bring the armor that could pierce mountains and help the strong man who could dig a secret passage, Queqiao Shao originally intended to go.

Unexpectedly, Hua Ling volunteered extremely enthusiastically and insisted on leading the Chuanshan Cave Armor to help, and it was really difficult to dissuade him.

Partridge Whistle shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself: If the morale of the people is scattered, it will be difficult to control the team.

But then he thought that it might be a good way out for the old foreigner and Hua Ling to follow Xu Nuo.

After all, just looking at this Pingshan Mountain, every step is dangerous, and who knows how many dangers are hidden in the future.

In this way, even if he may be a little "eccentric" around Xu Nuo, it is still a safe choice.

It is not convenient for Partridge Whistle to say more.

In a moment, a fire suddenly appeared halfway up Pingshan Mountain, illuminating the sky.

In the pitch-black night, it was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly struck.

Then there was a roar, and a surging air wave swept in all directions.

At this moment, there were already three to four thousand soldiers gathered here. The troops were very lively and arguing constantly, some even drew their guns and confronted each other.

All parties wanted to claim the ancient tomb excavated by Xiangling Lishi as their own.

But suddenly a loud noise was heard, and several leaders thought they had fallen into a trap.

However, after careful identification, it was discovered that the sound did not come from around the pit, but from the halfway slope of Pingshan Mountain.

For a moment, the teams felt relieved.

Some people tried to comfort the crowd: "Don't panic, the sound came from Pingshan." "It's still far away from us." "It won't reach us." Some people were puzzled, "Strange, why is there an explosion on Pingshan at this time?"

Although everyone calmed down a little, they were still upset.

Many people looked down into the pit and said, "Something is wrong. Where are those strong men?" "Damn it, there are only scarecrows down there." "What happened to Chen Yulou?" "Who cares? The noise is nothing!"

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, "Chen Yulou", who was pretending to be in the pit, was hit by dozens of bullets and had already shattered like a sieve.

The next scene shocked many bandits: "Chen Yulou", with numerous bullet holes on his body, stood up, staggered a few steps, looked up at the top of the pit, and grinned.

This move scared the originally daring robbers out of their wits.

The strange phenomenon before his eyes was extremely bizarre - the "Chen Yulou" who was shot with holes all over his body could actually smile. Then this "Chen Yulou" fell to the ground, instantly turned into a pile of flesh and blood, and released a large amount of yellow gas that spread everywhere.

Xu Nuo mixed Guanshan Taibao's smoking drug into his body. When it was ignited, billowing yellow smoke immediately spread out and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

Coughing sounds were heard everywhere in the woods.

At this moment, another loud noise broke the silence.

The direction of the sound was still pointing towards Pingshan, but it was not the sound of the explosion before, but a deeper and stranger sound, like a huge object breaking and cracking, the sound was extremely loud.

Under the vibration, the ground kept shaking and the pebbles kept rolling.

The flocks of night birds living in the woods were startled and flew into the sky.

At this moment, a soldier with outstanding eyesight first caught sight of Pingshan Mountain, and then shouted in a hoarse voice: "Pingshan Mountain! It's Pingshan Mountain..."

The companion beside him couldn't open his eyes because of the yellow smoke. Hearing the shouting, he was extremely anxious and kept asking: "What happened in Pingshan? Tell me quickly!"

"Bottle Mountain collapsed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits gathered around the pit fell into chaos.

Pingshan collapsed? How is this possible?

Everyone looked towards Pingshan Mountain and immediately noticed that it had split into two.

Starting from the big crack, the entire side including the bottle mouth has collapsed.

The huge sound of the mountain breaking was shocking.

At the same time, smoke and dust rose from the cracks, accompanied by flickering flames.

This scene makes people feel that the end of the world is approaching.

At this moment, the thieves suddenly realized a crucial thing.

That was the direction where Pingshan collapsed, which was exactly where everyone was.

The earth pit dug by Xiangling Lishi was only two or three miles away from Pingshan Mountain, and the collapse of Pingshan Mountain just covered this place.

After realizing this situation, expressions of despair immediately appeared on the faces of countless bandits.

Then the huge mountain, carrying with it a whistling air current, pressed down towards the three or four thousand bandits.

The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and no corpse was left.

In the surrounding dense woods, many hundreds of years old trees were broken and collapsed.

In just a moment, all the bandits who tried to reap the benefits and plot against Chen Yulou and Xiangling Lishi were crushed under the huge rocks of Pingshan.

Only a few who were farther away managed to escape, but they were all stunned, their legs and feet were weak, and they could neither speak nor escape.

At this time, Xu Nuo, Chen Yulou and Queqiao Shao were standing on the other side of Pingshan Mountain.

They witnessed the collapse of Pingshan Mountain and were all impressed by the powerful force of nature and how insignificant human beings are in the face of such great power.

The life of an ant disappears in an instant at this moment, without any room for struggle.

But the instigator of all this, Xu Nuo, had a calm expression, without any trace of cruelty.

He looked upon the bandits who were crushed to death as if they were grass or dust.

"Captain Chen, you know all about these bandits. Quickly arrange for Luo Laowai to lead his team and the troops outside the mountain to take advantage of the situation to sweep the territories of various bandit gangs."

"Those who can be persuaded to surrender will be persuaded to surrender, and those who cannot surrender will be sent to reunite with their companions."

After hearing the order, Chen Yulou couldn't help but respond, "Yes, sir!" without even realizing there was anything wrong with it.

At the same time, Partridge Whistle was also assigned to assist Chen Yulou in integrating the various bandit forces.

Each of these gangs is not very large, with the larger ones having two to three thousand people and the smaller ones having only a few hundred.

After suffering a heavy blow, the group was leaderless and morale was low.

At this time, Chen Yulou and others led thousands of troops to attack, and almost no one could stop them. It was expected that they would be defeated.

If the remaining bandits can be successfully absorbed, the military strength under Chen Yulou will be expanded by at least three to five thousand.

Not long after, the figures of Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle disappeared into the night.

Soon, Hua Ling led the Xiangling Lishi back to Xu Nuo.

At this moment, Xu Nuo was still staring at the collapsed part of Pingshan.

The ancient tomb on Pingshan Mountain is located at the mouth of the bottle.

Due to the collapse of Pingshan Mountain, the location of the ancient tomb has been completely broken.

The huge bluestone on the mouth of the bottle, weighing at least a thousand tons, is actually from an ancient tomb from the Yuan Dynasty.

At this moment, it broke away from the main body of Pingshan Mountain and slid and rolled all the way until it stopped about five or six miles away.

There was an unusual atmosphere where the huge bluestone stopped, as if a cave had been formed by its impact.

Even from miles away, Xu Nuo could clearly smell the smell of the rotting corpse, which was creepy.

Seeing this scene, a sharp light flashed in Xu Nuo's eyes.

The most precious opportunity in the entire Pingshan Mountain is obviously hidden in this area - not only the Xiangxi Corpse King's Tomb, but also the long-forgotten 72 Caves of the Miao Ancestral Caves.

According to historical records, the Mongolian army once completely sealed off the 72 ancestral caves, and the soldiers believed in the art of exorcism.

It is said that after conquering the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty sent manpower to destroy the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty and completely destroyed the remains of the emperors. Some skulls were even made into skull bowls as ritual objects.

The remaining remains were mixed with pigs, dogs and other livestock and buried in a large pit, and a South Suppression Tower was built to suppress the fortune of the south.

Xu Nuo speculated that the situation in Pingshan was similar.

When building the general's tomb, the Mongolian soldiers also slaughtered tens of thousands of cave dwellers and Miao people, including the elderly, children, women and children, abandoned their bodies in the ancestral cave, and sealed the cave entrance tightly.

According to grassland customs, the entrance to the cave is not only sealed, but also covered with soil to allow thousands of horses to trample it flat.

Afterwards, they placed stones in arrays according to the terrain and sowed grass seeds. In this humid, rainy environment, vegetation quickly grew dense, hiding the remains of the old village and causing a sharp decrease in the number of Miao people.

Since then, no one has set foot near the ancestral cave for hundreds of years, and it eventually became one with Pingshan Mountain itself.

If it weren't for the recent accident caused by the impact of a large rock on the top of Pingshan, the exact location would probably still be unknown.

Now that Pingshan has collapsed, the ancestral cave has reappeared, and the Corpse King has appeared, it is the critical moment for Xu Nuo to seize the highest opportunity in Xiangxi.

Quickly getting ready, he set out from the foot of Pingshan Mountain with the red girl Hua Ling and a group of extraordinary heroes from Xiangling, heading towards the direction of the collapse.

Soon we arrived at the place where many bandits had gathered before. At first glance, it seemed normal, but when we got closer, we saw that it was in a mess:

Thousands of people were crushed by the huge rocks, their flesh and blood turned into powder; hundreds of others were also affected.

The blood of humans and animals mixed with stone and wood debris formed a horrifying scene of purgatory.

The smell of blood filled the air and pierced the sky.

There are still some people who are not dead, but most of them are in a trance and their faces are ashen and lifeless.

Even when he saw Xu Nuo and his group approaching, he remained indifferent.

If you want to ask, you can only slap it to wake it up briefly, but then it will return to numbness again.

Xu Nuo had no intention of staying any longer and went straight to follow the path of the previously rolled boulder.

The broken rocks rushed all the way down to the valley floor, leaving behind shattered branches of giant trees and unrecognizable remains of humans and animals, making it impossible to move forward.

Helplessly, Xu Nuo had to walk around with the red girl Hua Ling.

Fortunately, night has fallen and the moon is bright in the sky.

Thanks to his Queting Divine Eyes ability, he could see clearly in the dark and move slowly through the dense forest.

When we finally reached the border of the valley, we found a strange mist ahead.

There are many naturally formed stalagmites in the forest.

Taking advantage of the quiet night, Xu Nuo used the Coffin Mountain Pointing Technique to carefully survey the feng shui pattern of this area, and gradually discovered that this vast valley was shaped like a phoenix flapping its wings.

Pay attention to the details in the shadows of the big trees on the surrounding rock walls, and you can faintly see the carvings of the black bird and the black bear.

With all these clues interwoven, Xu Nuo's confidence became even stronger.

Not far away is the ancestral cave of the 72 Miao people!

Xu Nuo continued to move forward with Hua Ling and Hong Girl.

After walking just a few dozen meters, he stopped.

His clairaudience vaguely caught a strange cry coming from the dense forest ahead.

The voice was extremely sad and full of true emotion, as if it could only be uttered by someone who had experienced great sorrow.

It sounded like the wailing of a crowd at a funeral, with dozens of people crying.
