After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 434: Becoming an Immortal? Go to Miaoshu Palace!
In the corridor.

A group of people are running out.

It was Sun Hongmian and her group of loyal supporters.

A big man carried Sun Hongmian on his back, and the others gathered around him and ran very fast.

"Stop, put me down."

Sun Hongmian, who had fainted on the middle-aged man's body, suddenly moved and gave an order to the middle-aged man in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man slammed on the brakes.

The corridor was dark to begin with, and the person behind didn't see clearly, so he bumped into the middle-aged man and knocked him to the ground. Together with Sun Hongmian on his back, the several people rolled into a ball, looking extremely miserable.

"Ouch, ouch..."

There was a cry of pain.

"Idiots, all of them are idiots."

Sun Hongmian was so angry that she started cursing. She was already depressed, and now she even had the urge to kill someone.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

Someone brought a flashlight, illuminated the corridor, and quickly pulled the embarrassed Sun Hongmian up.

"What can a bunch of idiots accomplish?"

Sun Hongmian's face flushed red. She was a well-known figure in Raojiang, but she didn't expect that she had been unlucky since coming to Shuzhong.

Some time ago, she gathered a group of people to explore the underground palace, including several spiritual beings who had a good relationship with him.

I thought that with such a strong army and powerful horses, it would be easy to capture an underground palace, right?

But as soon as he arrived, he ran into people from the Ding family, who brought a few dwarf Chinese people from the spiritual realm with them. He started a fight with them after a disagreement.

She ran fast and didn't suffer any injuries, but the spiritual realm masters who came with her were seriously injured.

Afterwards, she wanted to make a comeback, but those powerful spiritual realm masters felt they were cheated and refused to play with her anymore.

In desperation, she could only bring her loyal fans to explore the underground palace alone.

When they came, there were thirty or forty people, and they were full of high spirits.

These people don't know anything. As fans of Sun Hongmian, they think that following Sun Hongmian is just a formality and they come in to withdraw money.

As a result, he suffered a lot.

Sun Hongmian brought them in from Beigong and they had a smooth journey. Occasionally there were some troubles, but they were handled by Sun Hongmian.

The morale of this group of people was greatly boosted.

But when they reached the Gu River, the nightmare began.

The bone-eating beetles were overwhelming, and one wave took away more than ten of them.

A group of people ran out of the underground palace in a panic, but Sun Hongmian was unwilling to give up. After so much effort and so many deaths, they couldn't even reach the door of the East Palace. Wasn't it a waste of time?

I don’t know who was so smart and came up with the idea to Sun Hongmian at this time, that is, to dig a hole in the mountain and get directly into the East Palace.

Sun Hongmian thought that this method was feasible. In this way, she could avoid the terrifying Gu River and go directly to the interior of the East Palace.

They came well prepared, with hoes, shovels and everything else ready.

So, a group of people dug a hole all night and dug a cave to the east of Stone King Valley.

The method is a good one, but unfortunately, there is a calculation error.

It was just so unlucky. He originally wanted to avoid the Gu River and dig the hole directly into the East Palace, but he never expected that the hole happened to be dug above the Gu River.

This can cost your life.

Several people who were digging the hole fell directly into the Gu River and lost their lives.

A group of bone-eating beetles flew out of the tunnel and launched a surprise attack on them, killing several people.

This was a heavy loss. Out of more than 30 people, only a dozen were left to follow her.

You said that now that it has come to this, you should be afraid and leave, right?
Well, she didn’t. She said that the insects should be full by now and it was a good time to cross the river, so she immediately led her men into the underground palace again.

As for this Sun Hongmian, what bad intentions could she have?

She is the old owner of the Red Lotus Cave in Raojiang. How could she not know the habits of bone-eating beetles?
Will that thing ever be full?

She just wanted to use these people to fill the gap and cover her crossing the river.

When they arrived at the river, the swarm of insects had been subdued by Chen Yang and naturally did not attack them anymore.

The group of people were even more convinced by her and followed her all the way into the underground palace.

Apart from anything else, it was really a series of twists and turns, but at least she managed to get in.

……

Sun Hongmian thought back to her experiences during this period and felt very depressed. Suddenly, she felt like she was here to make people laugh.

"Mother-in-law, your injury..."

A middle-aged woman looked at her worriedly.

Sun Hongmian waved her hands and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. How can a mere corpse puppet do anything to me?"

So, you were just pretending to be dead?

Everyone looked a little embarrassed, but no one dared to expose it.

"Humph."

Sun Hongmian snorted softly.

In the situation just now, if she didn't pretend to be dead, would Qiao Hongjun have someone take her away? Wouldn't that be so embarrassing?

"Mother-in-law, shall we go out now?"

The middle-aged woman asked tentatively. Like everyone else around her, her face was filled with fear.

The experiences in the Heavenly Palace over the past two days completely refreshed their cognition. They just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, they would really die.

There were thirty or forty people who came together. They were fine when they came, talking and laughing, but now they can't go back. Only seven or eight of them are left.

It's so tragic.

"go out?"

Sun Hongmian frowned, "You finally came in, but you didn't find anything, and you're leaving like this. Are you willing to accept this?"

Everyone looked at her in a daze. They all wanted to say, "I'm willing, very willing."

As long as you can survive, what's the point of being willing or unwilling?

However, no one dared to say this out loud.

"I can see that you are not willing to give up either."

Sun Hongmian snorted coldly, "There are still places we haven't explored. As the saying goes, fortune comes in danger. As long as we find the legendary Three Corpses Tree and get the Three Corpses Worm, hehe, becoming an immortal is not a dream. Kids, don't you want to become an immortal?"

Become an immortal?

A group of people were stunned.

I wonder if my mother-in-law has been upset by something and has become mentally unstable.

"Let's go ahead and explore before Old Man Qiao and the others react."

Sun Hongmian stood up suddenly, as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood. "I remember when I came here from Taiyi Palace, there were several corridors leading to other directions. One of them must be the road leading to the Three Corpse God Tree..."

The more dangerous this underground palace is, the more it proves that the legend is true. The Three Corpses Sacred Tree is probably really in this underground palace.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree, the Three Corpse Fruit, thinking about those long-standing legends, now that they are within reach, how could she not be excited?

He is already very old, but has not yet entered the realm of creation. If he can find the Three Corpse Fruits and, with the help of the Three Corpse Insects, take the path of beheading corpses in advance, he may be able to enter the realm of creation in a few days.

A higher level is not beyond our expectation.

The rest of the people all had sad looks on their faces.

I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River.

There is no choice but to keep up.

There are dangers everywhere in this underground palace, and they dare not act alone. If they leave the team without permission at this time, not only will they offend Sun Hongmian, but they cannot guarantee that they can get out alive.

……

-

The Hall of Divine Powers.

Chen Yang carried Qiao Hongjun to the Shentong Hall.

Zhang Zhaoyun was still guarding here. He hurried over, his eyes showing shock, "Director Qiao, what's going on?"

Qiao Hongjun has a special identity. He is the leader of the general association and Zhang Zhaoyun's direct superior. If something happens to him, it will be a big deal.

"It's nothing serious, just rest for a while."

Chen Yang didn't explain too much. He put Qiao Hongjun down and handed him over to Zhang Zhaoyun. "Take him out first, go to Beigong, the way we came here..."

"What about you?"

When Zhang Zhaoyun heard that Qiao Hongjun was fine and saw that he was breathing evenly and just sleeping soundly, he felt relieved and thought that there was nothing serious going on.

But from what Chen Yang said, it seemed that he didn't want to follow us out, which made him feel confused.

"Don't worry about me. There are still some areas in the East Palace that have not been explored. I will go around and look around..."

Chen Yang shook his head. He was really unwilling to let him go out like this.

It’s not easy to come here, and he is not injured, so he can continue. Otherwise, when he comes next time, he doesn’t know when it will be and what the situation will be like.

"That won't work. We came here together, so of course we have to leave together. We can't take the responsibility if anything happens to you!" Zhang Zhaoyun said quickly.

"Lao Zhang, I find you so pedantic."

At this time, Qin Zhou said, "Just go out if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm not asking you to be responsible. Let's explore the rest of the palace before we go out, so we don't have to make another trip next time..."

Zhang Zhaoyun's face trembled.

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qinzhou. So when I asked you to leave, you weren't included.

Before he could speak, Qin Zhou said to Zhang Zhaoyun, "Mr. Qiao's safety is the most important. Hurry up and don't waste time. With me here, nothing will happen to this kid."

"Then...then you guys be careful. I'll send Director Qiao to Red Creek Valley first, and then bring some people over."

Zhang Zhaoyun was helpless, 2 to 1, he had already lost. Qiao Hongjun's current situation, it was indeed dangerous to continue staying in the underground palace.

He stopped talking nonsense, carried Qiao Hongjun on his back, and ran towards Taiyi Palace.

In the Shentong Hall, only Chen Yang and Qin Zhou were left.

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Old man, you are quite awesome. And with you here, I am sure I will be fine, right?"

Qin Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You know why I came here this time. Let's hurry up and find the Three Corpse God Tree."

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly.

He knew very well that this old man could not be driven away, and it was a waste of time to persuade him.

"Let's go."

Chen Yang opened the map, looked at it, found the direction of Miaoshu Palace, and left the Shentong Palace.

There are fewer red crosses shown on the map, and it seems that only in the area around Miaoshu Palace are there some red crosses wandering around.

Another thing is the Gu River surrounding the East Palace. The area on the inner side of the Gu River is densely covered with many red crosses, and there are even a few big question marks floating.

In other words, there might still be beings of the realm of creation in this Gu River.

Is it the bone-eating beetle from the Creation Realm? Or some other insect?
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows. His current insect-controlling skills were able to control the bone-eating beetles in the Creation Realm. However, there was a certain probability of failure, and at the same time, he could only control one at most.

If there are too many S-level bone-eating beetles, Chen Yang will not be able to control them.

Therefore, Chen Yang had no intention of provoking him.

Anyway, these insects are all in the Gu River and I can't get there. If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone.

He took a look and found that there were no danger signs in the Gu River near the gate of the East Palace. It seemed that after he subdued those bone-eating beetles, no more bone-eating beetles from other sections of the river came to replenish them.

It’s a bit strange. Could it be that these bone-eating beetles have divided their own territories?
This is a good thing. They each stay in their own territory and don't bother each other, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Be careful, that Gao Shanjun is quite powerful..."

Qinzhou was walking behind Chen Yang as expected. Seeing the boy walking leisurely with his head held high, he quickly reminded him.

This is an underground palace, not your yard. You never know what might pop out of here at any time.

"Mr. Gao Shan? He should have died a long time ago." Chen Yang shook his head and sneered.

"died?"

Qin Zhou was stunned for a moment, "Are you kidding? You killed him?"

He couldn't quite believe it. That was a being at the level of Creation. How could he be killed by this kid?
"It and the blood leech from the Blood Lake Palace must have perished together."

Chen Yang said perfunctorily, "If you don't believe it even if I tell you, why bother explaining it?"

It might be more reasonable and easier to accept to say that they died together, so as not to upset the old man.

Qinzhou was a little stunned. For no reason, they died together?

However, it does seem more reasonable than being killed by Chen Yang.

Not long after, they passed through several corridors and arrived at Miaoyan Palace safely. After passing through Miaoyan Palace, there was a corridor behind the palace gate. After walking straight for dozens of meters, there were two forks.

One left and one right.

The map shows that the road on the left leads to Miaoshu Palace, while the road on the right leads directly to the Gu River.

At the end of the corridor on the right, there is a stone door, behind which is the Gu River.

There are probably many poisonous insects in that section of the river. Moreover, Chen Yang saw a red question mark jumping on the map, proving that this section of the river is likely to have a place of good fortune.

It's a complete trap. Going to the right is almost like committing suicide.

Chen Yang looked at the ground and saw a lot of fresh footprints in the corridor on the right, but he didn't know which unlucky person had been there.

"Made!"

Just at this moment, the flashlight in Qinzhou's hand ran out of battery. The light flickered a few times and the passage became dark.

He cursed, threw the flashlight away, and took out a few glow sticks from his backpack.

After being folded a few times, the glow stick released fluorescence, illuminating the dark corridor again.

In this underground palace, mental strength is suppressed, making people feel very depressed. Eyes are better.

His backpack was bulging, but no one knew what was in it.

After walking forward for a few minutes, the road ahead suddenly became clear again.

We have arrived at Miaoshu Palace.

It is also a huge cave space, the ground is paved with bluestone, very flat and open.

About fifty or sixty meters ahead is a cliff.

They came to the edge of the cliff, stuck their heads out and looked down.

It was pitch black, deep and scary, and I couldn't see anything at all.

Chen Yang looked up.

Opposite the cliff is a steep cliff. This place is more like an underground fissure, probably fifty or sixty meters wide. Below is a dark abyss. No one knows how deep it is or what is inside.

The map shows that the location of Miaoshu Palace overlaps with this abyss, so it should be right below here?

"Chen Yang, do you feel a little bit uneasy?"

Qinzhou withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the abyss, and goose bumps appeared on his body. For a moment, he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark abyss.

Fear, depression.

That feeling was really creepy and indescribably uncomfortable.

Chen Yang shook his head.

He just felt a little uncomfortable, maybe it was because the old man was too weak.

"Are there any more glow sticks? Give them to me."

Chen Yang stretched out his hand.

Qinzhou didn't say much, untied his backpack and took out a bundle of glow sticks.

Chen Yang took it in his hand, folded it twice, and threw one into the abyss first.

The darkness was illuminated a little, but soon the light of the glow stick was drowned out by the darkness again.

Chen Yang pricked up his ears and listened.

one two three four……

After waiting for about six seconds, I could faintly hear the sound of a glow stick falling to the ground.

Free fall, six seconds.

About a hundred meters.

This abyss is more than a hundred meters deep.

At such a long distance, the light from a fluorescent stick has no effect at all and is completely submerged in the darkness.

With Chen Yang's powerful eyesight, he could only vaguely see a small bright spot.

At that moment, Chen Yang broke all the glow sticks in his hand and threw them all down.

It can be vaguely seen that there is indeed an ancient building under the abyss.

Soon the light of the fluorescent stick was swallowed up by the darkness. From a distance, it looked like stars in the night sky, making the abyss even darker.

Chen Yang looked at the map.

The map shows that there are indeed some red crosses in this abyss, dozens of them.

There is no red question mark, which means there is no realm of creation?
But there is a red exclamation mark!
The exclamation mark is quite large and stands out in red on the map.

What does this thing represent?
An existence stronger than the Creation Realm?

Or is it a special mark for the Three Corpses Sacred Tree?

"Chen Yang!"

Qinzhou patted Chen Yang's arm suddenly, his face turned slightly pale as if he saw something.

Chen Yang closed the map and followed his gaze, looking down into the abyss.

In the boundless darkness, many tiny spots of light appeared, flickering and jumping, like... like... eyes?
At first glance, my scalp feels a little tingling.

It was like being stared at by countless pairs of eyes in the abyss.

There are more and more spots of light.

Suddenly, a whistling sound came from the bottom of the abyss, and the light spots suddenly moved and became bigger and bigger.

It seemed like something was approaching the top of the abyss quickly.

Flock of birds?

It sounded like a great flutter of wings.

"Go back to the corridor."

Chen Yang frowned, shouted, and without saying anything, he took Qinzhou and ran towards the corridor they had just come from.

"Gah!"

There was a strange cry, as hoarse as a broken gong.

Big birds flew out of the abyss and stood on the edge of it.

One, two...

They were crowded together, and soon there were dozens of them.

"What is this? A crow?"

At the entrance of the corridor, Qinzhou was a little surprised when he saw the flock of birds in front of him.

These birds look a bit like crows, but their feathers are all glaring red, which makes them look very strange. They are also much larger than ordinary crows.

"Gah!"

Accompanied by a strange cry, a huge red shadow jumped up from the bottom of the cliff.

The surrounding flocks of birds quickly dispersed, and after a gust of wind, a strange bird stood on a platform at the edge of the cliff.
