"Little brother, it seems we have found the big baby this time."

"The Xuan Palace is not simple in Taoism. It refers to both the Taoist temple and the palace where immortals live."

The old Taoist priest became more and more excited as he spoke.

According to the old Taoist priest, this Xuan Palace must be the main hall of the underground palace, and it is the place where the tomb owner is buried.

Unexpectedly, they could find the main tomb so easily, and gain a glimpse of the true face of the tomb owner.

Perhaps because of being a Taoist sect, the old Taoist priest was particularly excited when he saw Xuan Palace, but Jin'an was much calmer.

He bent down to check the footprints of floating dust on the ground, frowned and said, "There are many footprints on the ground that have not come out after entering Xuan Palace. They should be left by fellow Daoist Xu, King Xiaoling, and Monk Qianshi. The footprints can only be in and out. Be careful about the next road. It is possible that these people are still in Xuan Palace, unless there is another exit in the Xuan Palace."

Next.

The three of them were like long snakes, entering the magnificent and huge temple in front of them one by one. Jin'an was in front, behind the sword-cutting hall, and old Taoist priests were in the middle.

Be careful and alert to enter Xuan Palace one by one, and the torches in your hand were flaming, reflecting the surrounding stone walls. In fact, Jin'an, who was covered in jewels, was the best light source in front of him.

The door of the Ming Tower of Xuangong had been pushed open. I don’t know if it was pushed open from the beginning or by Xiao Ling and the others. After passing through the cave in the Minglou city wall, there is the main building of Xuangong. Xuangong is made of stone strips, each stone strip is half a person tall. Most of the main buildings in Xuangong are still well preserved and have not been seriously damaged in the earthquake.

The Xuan Palace is built magnificently and tallly, and it makes the environment inside look more and more dim. Apart from the stone buildings that can be seen everywhere, there is no trace of gold, silver, bronze and iron. It is clearly the Xuan Palace, which is the main tomb chamber, but its magnificence is even more magnificent than the last floor of the morgue tower.

Not only does this place have the style of gold, stone and jade railings as imagined, but after the eternal lights in the lamp bases are gone, there is only gloomy and darkness.

Even if I wanted to look up and look at the top of my head, because Xuangong was tall, the top of my head was completely shrouded in the dark shadow and could not see anything.

There is really weirdness everywhere.

There was an open land in front of me. Several five-color earth towers lined up in a row on the open land, namely the green, red, yellow, white and black corresponding to the five-color earth.

And in each five-color earth tower is a sarcophagus.

The three of them counted carefully. There were ten five-color earth towers arranged in a row. Among them, there were a sarcophagus in the first to the ninth five-color earth towers, but the tenth five-color earth tower was empty and nothing was placed.

"Nine is the extreme number, ten is the infinite number, and ten is the infinite number. After nine, ten is the heavenly round, and all things are destroyed, representing the return of nine and nine to the chaotic world where all things begin, that is, to escape into the void. There is nothing in the tenth five-color earth tower, which should be taken from the void. Chaos means death?" The old Taoist priest studied the five-color earth tower and whispered to Jin An who was standing behind him.

He continued: "Old Taoist, I see that the surfaces of these five-color earth towers are full of scriptures. The ten five-color earth towers in front of me should not only correspond to death, but also use them to ward off evil spirits and exorcism (nuó). There are many yin energy underground in the mountains to nourish evil spirits and wild monsters, so the guardian gods and door gods are needed to prevent evil spirits from invading the Xuan Palace to avoid disturbing the sleep of the dead."

"Of course, no matter how powerful the five-color earth tower was, it has been destroyed now. If it weren't for the formation being broken, the sarcophagus in the five-color earth tower would not have been overturned and destroyed." The old Taoist priest added at the end.

As the old Taoist priest said, the sarcophagus in these five-color earth towers had long been destroyed and covered with thick dust.

After passing through the gaps of the Five-Colored Earth Tower, we went directly to a huge rock paving road, which was even more grand and magnificent. The main hall was very empty. In the center, there was a huge stone tree covered with yellow talismans. There were only bare bodies and branches, and no leaves.

The petrified trees were too big and had thick textures, and they were even taller than the giant tree they had stayed overnight a few days ago. The bark was like the edges and corners of rocks, with a thick and ancient and simple artistic conception coming.

The three of them were all surprised, and they raised their torches and looked up to see how tall the petrified giant tree was. As a result, the petrified giant tree continued to grow into the darkness above their heads, and there was no end to see.

 Swish!

Jin An drew out a stone arrow, tied a torch, and shot an arrow into the sky. Finally, he saw the first time he saw what was going on at the top of Xuan Palace.

"ah?"

The old Taoist priest exclaimed. At the top of Xuan Palace was a huge mural, painted as an ugly monster with hands and feet, green face and fangs. He was staring at everyone who stepped into Xuan Palace face down.

Under the illumination of the torch, Jin'an saw a large hole on the roof of Xuangong. The petrified giant tree passed through the hole on the roof and continued to grow to the sky. Finally, it pierced into the rock formation. I don't know where it will eventually grow. A large number of ancient vines like stone pillars and ancient beards fell from a high place.

Seeing that the petrified giant tree could not see the end, the three of them looked at the trunk in front of them again. When they carefully walked around the back of the petrified giant tree, they suddenly saw a white shadow standing behind the tree motionless. They were caught off guard, and the three of them were all suddenly beaten.

When I looked carefully, I found that the white shadow was a lifelike stone figurine. The stone figurine had a strange posture. The palm was pressed against the petrified tree, and the face was filled with the excitement and joy of his life, as if he had found something peerless treasure in the Xuan Palace.

It's also weird. The skin of this stone figurine man is exactly the same as the dead people covered with river beds outside.

The only difference between the two is that the clothes of the dead in the riverbed are old and they are obviously not from Kangding, but the stone figurine in front of them is wearing Kangding clothes.

"Can they be the one who entered the underground palace before?"

Until the torch approached and saw the facial features of the stone figurine man clearly, Jin An was surprised. This man had just exchanged information with him in the morning! The stone figurine man in front of him was not carved with stones, but was clearly a living person who had been petrified and turned into a dead person.

This discovery made him frown.

"Hey, why do I think this person is so familiar?" The old Taoist also followed Jin An and looked closer to see the stone figurines on the ground.

Jin'an held a torch in his hand and looked at the petrified tree, and then the stone figurine man on the ground who was full of fear before his death. After several comparisons, he said solemnly: "Old Taoist, cut the sword, do you think the color of this petrified tree is very similar to the skin color of the stone figurine man in front of us, and the skin color of the stone figurine man in the riverbed outside?"

Well!

The old Taoist priest was not a fool either, and seemed to have thought of something immediately. He was so scared that he quickly took a few steps away from the stone figurines and petrified giant trees on the ground: "My mother, it turns out that we were really walking over the dead bodies along the way!"

"There are so many stone figurines in the valley... How many people should die?"

Jin An did not answer the old Taoist priest's words. He took a few steps closer to the petrochemical tree. This time, he found that there were a large number of yin polygonum multiflorum growing on the bark of the petrochemical tree. These yin polygonum multiflorum multiflorum multiflorum multiflorum multiflorum multiflorum multiflorum they saw on the white marble stone bridge. It can be seen that the corpse poison is also stronger, but now they are all gray petrochemical polygonum multiflorum.

I stood far away before and didn’t find it. I was not until now that I got close to it that the stone bumps I saw before were all petrified Polygonum multiflorum.

The old Taoist priest was so scared that his heart was about to jump into his throat when he saw Jin An so close to the petrified tree that he quickly shouted in a low voice: "Little brother, be careful, don't get too close. This giant tree looks like a stone. There is a problem with the people who touch him. Have you seen that all the people who touch him become stone people? This petrified tree can petrify all things, and it is a bit like Taoist stone-stepping technique!"

The old Taoist priest stared at Jin'an, who was very close to the petrochemical tree without blinking, fearing that the other party would fall accidentally or not pay attention to the tile under his feet. He pounced on the petrochemical tree and was lit into a stone fetus. From then on July 15th, he and his sword cutters would have to come to this underground palace to burn paper money to pay tribute to Jin'an.

The old Taoist priest persuaded him repeatedly, and finally finally persuaded him to come back to Jin'an. Then he sighed in relief and said some of his guesses: "Little brother, I probably understand why this Xuan Palace only has stones, and is not as magnificent as the stone bridge and the morgue tower, and is inlaid with gold, silver and jade..."

"The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth. This sacred tree in front of us, which is like Taoist stone-spotting technique, is wood in the five elements, and serves as the purpose of stabilizing the sea magic needle and suppressing the formation eyes. It can settle the underground palace and the thick soil and earth, and ward off evil spirits. That's why we didn't see gold, silver, bronze and iron tools in the Xuan Palace, except stones, because the people who built the underground palace did not want to be damaged by the metal energy to the foundation of the stone-spotting tree."

After circled around the stone tree, I saw that I didn’t find any clues again. The three of them decided to go to other places in Xuan Palace to find out if there were any other clues.

"Oh my god, the mural above my head looks so terrifying. I don't know why I paint such a terrifying demon mural in Xuan Palace where the immortals live." Along the way, while searching for Xuan Palace, the old Taoist whispered, and from time to time, he looked up at the green mural above his head with gloomy and distorted facial features and terrifying under the dim and unclear torches.

In fact, the old Taoist priest originally wanted to say that the people worshipped here were not immortals from the Taoist blessed land, but some human-eating demons and ghosts? But he was worried that if he would be heard by the underground palace like this, he would anger the underground palace, so he forced himself to hold this back.

Then, they found a left hall in a corner of the main hall, but there was nothing in the left hall except a dry spring.

According to the old Taoist priest's guess, springs appear in yin houses, which are generally used to relieve yin energy and gather yang energy, and bring vitality to the cemetery. The main purpose is to prevent the yin energy in the tomb chamber from being too heavy, which can easily nourish evil spirits and bring ominous signs.

Although water belongs to the Black Evil Xuan Water, it is Yin Qi, but the yin at the end of the yin is born, and the flowing living water can bring vitality. It can bring a glimmer of vitality in places where the yin energy is severe, that is, Yang Qi.

After walking out of the side palace, the three of them continued to explore in the dark Xuan Palace, looking for any other clues. They did find another passage, but before they could go far, they found that the passage collapsed and became a dead end.

Jin'an stepped forward and looked at the dead end, then shook his head at the old Taoist priest and the sword-cutting, saying, "No, these earth and rocks are buried very deeply at first sight, completely blocking the passage. If you want to blow it up, it will only cause a larger landslide."

At this time, the old Taoist priest raised his compass and said, "If I read it correctly, the passage is opened on the central axis of the Xuan Palace, and it should be the back hall."

"Generally speaking, the back hall of this tomb is used to store shrines, ancestral spirit seats, and coffins. This Xuan Palace is a place where immortals live. There is no coffin used to bury people in the main hall. Maybe the owner of the underground palace tomb we are looking for will be buried in the back hall... It's a pity that the back hall collapsed and buried, and future generations will never be able to see the true face of the Lushan Mountain of the Xuan Palace."

The old Taoist priest said with a sigh.

Looking at the old Taoist priest's look of a pity, Jin An said speechlessly: "Okay, according to the extent of the destruction of this underground palace, we only saw empty coffins along the way, and never saw a corpse. Even if there were people buried in the back hall, the body of the immortal would have been gone long ago. Otherwise, why would you think the back hall collapse?"

The curious old Taoist priest couldn't help but ask Jin'an: "Brother, aren't you curious about who the owner of this underground tomb is?"

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest had just finished speaking, and an explosion suddenly sounded in the underground palace, and then the earth was shaking violently. A large amount of dust fell from their heads.

Jin An shouted nervously: "No, run quickly, it's going to collapse again."

The earth was shaking and the mountain was shaking for a long time before the stop. The three people who had already run back to the hall from the passage were all in a mess at this time. Jin An coughed and slapped the dust on his hair, and couldn't help but complain to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, your thirteenth zodiac is a crow's mouth. Say less unlucky words in the underground palace! You see, you have made him angry in the underground palace, so you are not afraid that people who have died for thousands of years will really pull you into the coffin to reminisce about the past!"

The old Taoist priest felt very wronged. He was just curious about who the master of the underground palace was buried. He was curious and respectful to the deceased. But he had not lived enough and did not want to be a burial object for a burial. The old Taoist priest was about to defend himself with grievance, but suddenly, Jin An shouted coldly in the main hall: "Who is hiding there sneakily!"

"Sharpen the sword, leave behind to protect the old Taoist!"

Through the hanging rattan and root gaps, I vaguely saw a black figure squatting behind the petrified trees, coveting the three of them.

However.

Jin'an rushed to the back of the petrochemical tree and there was no movement. There was neither a fight nor a voice. Since he entered the underground palace, there were strange things everywhere in the cemetery, especially when Xuan Palace suddenly fell into silence, the oppression from the unknown darkness made people breathless. The old Taoist priest could not wait for news from Jin'an. He whispered to the petrochemical tree with concern: "Little brother, how is your situation there?"

Jin An shout came from behind the petrified tree: "Old Taoist, cut the sword, come over quickly and see what I found! You will never imagine what shocked just now, something fell from the petrified tree!"

Jin'an's tone was a bit strange, both of which were surprised and as if he had seen something shocking, as well as a solemn and vaguely uneasy tone.

Hearing Jin'an's shout, the old Taoist priest and sword-cutting sword who had long been concerned about Jin'an's safety, ran over quickly.

 Dingdeng!

At this moment, the chaotic footsteps of many people rang out in the quiet Xuan Palace, where only Jin'an and the other three people, and saw people covered in dust running out of the right hall in a panic. As soon as they left the right hall, they heard Jin'an's shouts and ran towards the petrified trees.

There are many old faces among these people, and they are the first Xiaoling King, Xu Anping, and Monk Qianshi who entered the underground palace...
