Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 299 Going to the Grave
In the woods behind Guan Shaoqing and his group.

Suddenly, three figures emerged. The leader was tall and wore a dark blue robe. He had a calm demeanor and a handsome face that also revealed a hint of vicissitude. Behind him were a mushroom-headed youth and a well-behaved girl.

Guan Shaoqing instantly recognized the three as Partridge Whistle, his junior brother Old Sheepman, and his junior sister Hua Ling, all from the original drama "The Wrath of Xiangxi".

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Partridge Whistle and his two companions.

Chen Yulou's Unloading Ridge troops and Luo Laowai's army immediately became alert.

Unlike the original drama.

In the original drama, Chen Yulou was paralyzed and illusionized by the fox spirit and was saved by Partridge Whistle and his two siblings. Therefore, Chen Yulou had already met Partridge Whistle and his two siblings by this time.

However, since Chen Yulou was saved by Guan Shaoqing after being paralyzed by the fox spirit's illusion, Chen Yulou doesn't recognize the three disciples, Partridge Whistle, and naturally won't speak up for them.

Especially now that they've started exploring tombs for treasure, the sudden appearance of three complete strangers naturally put Chen Yulou on guard.

Seeing that Chen Yulou's group was numerous and powerful.

Partridge Whistle knew that he and his two fellow disciples were outnumbered and that they had come to ask for medicine, not to make enemies. So he cupped his hands and looked at Chen Yulou to show his identity.

"This must be the famous leader of the Unloading Ridge Clan, Chen Yulou. I am Partridge Whistle."

“Partridge Whistle, you are the legendary Mountain-Moving Taoist Partridge Whistle.”

Chen Yulou was slightly surprised upon hearing this, as he had also heard of Partridge Whistle's reputation, as Partridge Whistle was quite famous in the martial arts world.

"It's down."

Partridge Whistle cupped his hands in greeting.

"So you're the Partridge Whistle brothers, I've heard so much about you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately relaxed and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Partridge Whistle is known for his chivalry in the martial arts world, and the Mountain Moving Taoists have always sought medicine rather than wealth when they go down into tombs—a consensus that has been held for thousands of years.

Therefore, after confirming Partridge Whistle's identity, Chen Yulou knew that the other party was not there for the treasure of Ping Mountain and would not have any conflict of interest with their group.

In a situation where there is no conflict of interest, there is naturally no need to make enemies.

"We, the three of us, have come to Ping Mountain only to search for medicine. We will not compete with you, Chief Chen, for the treasures in the mountain. We hope you will do us a favor."

Partridge Whistle spoke again, explaining his purpose.

"You say you won't fight for the treasure, so you won't fight for the treasure?"

At this moment, Luo Laowai couldn't help but speak up, saying that he didn't believe Partridge Whistle's words at all.

"General Luo, do not worry. It is said that the Mountain Moving lineage has been burdened with a curse for generations. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Mountain Moving lineage has never gone into tombs for gold and silver treasures, but only to find the Muchen Pearl to remove the curse on their bodies. Moreover, Brother Partridge Whistle is well-known in the martial arts world and would never do such a thing that would tarnish the reputation of the Mountain Moving lineage. Therefore, Brother Partridge Whistle's words can still be trusted."

Chen Yulou said that he always believed in the importance of harmony in his dealings with others, and that if they could coexist peacefully, they should not make enemies this year.

Moreover, Partridge Whistle is renowned, and the Mountain Moving Clan, along with their Unloading Ridge Clan, is one of the four major tomb raiding sects, so they must possess extraordinary skills.

Moreover, there is currently no conflict of interest between the two sides.

In that case, the two sides can definitely cooperate.

"In that case, Brother Partridge Whistle, why don't we cooperate and go down into this Bottle Mountain Tomb together? If we find the Muchen Pearl, I will present it to you with both hands."

Chen Yulou immediately replied.

"Alright, thank you very much, Mr. Chen. We only need the Muchen Pearl. We three brothers and sisters don't want anything else, not even gold or silver."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle did not hesitate at all and readily agreed. At the same time, he also wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Yulou to see if he could get clues about the Muchen Pearl from Chen Yulou.

Thus, Partridge Whistle and his two siblings successfully joined the team.

"Who is this?"

Soon, Partridge Whistle's gaze fell on Guan Shaoqing again, and his heart was also somewhat unsettled. With his martial arts master cultivation, he could not see through Guan Shaoqing at all. Instead, he only felt a sense of unfathomable depth from Guan Shaoqing.

"This is Brother Guan," Chen Yulou said with a smile, introducing him to Partridge Whistle.

"So it's Brother Guan." Partridge Whistle bowed to Guan Shaoqing upon hearing this.

"Brother Partridge." Guan Shaoqing returned the greeting with a smile, but did not engage in much conversation with Partridge Whistle.

call out!
boom!
Just right now.

Below the cliff, in the crevice of the canyon, a dazzling firework shot up from the bottom of the canyon and exploded in the black mist below the cliff.

Chen Yulou and the rest of the Xieling group were all invigorated upon seeing this.

"Mr. Chen, can you go down now?"

Luo Laowai asked impatiently.

"Good. Leave one team up there to guide them; the rest of you go down."

Chen Yulou nodded, then instructed Hua Maguai, "Guai Zi, you take a team of brothers and stay up there to guide them." As he spoke, his gaze subtly swept over Luo Laowai's army.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Hua Maguai immediately responded.

On the other side, Luo Laowai was also worried about Chen Yulou and the Xieling group, so he arranged for a team of men to stay up there.

After this arrangement was made, both sides, led by Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai, began to climb down the cliff using the Centipede Ladder.

Guan Shaoqing followed the crowd, walking in front of and behind Chen Yulou.

Following the Centipede Ladder down for over a hundred meters, the surrounding light dimmed due to the black fog in the canyon and the cliffs on both sides. The fog turned gray and misty, mixed with water vapor, making the environment extremely dark.

After climbing down more than 100 meters down the dark and damp cliff environment,

We finally reached the top of the cliff.

At this moment, a huge palace roof came into view of Guan Shaoqing and his party.

The palace was built in a crevice at the bottom of the cliff. Its top width alone was more than two hundred meters, and its length was unknown. In the dim and damp environment, it could not be seen at all.

"What a magnificent palace! Mr. Chen, could this be the mausoleum?"

Luo Laowai looked at the entire palace roof with excitement, saying that if this were a mausoleum, he couldn't even imagine what kind of person was buried here or how much gold and silver treasure would be hidden inside.

"It shouldn't be. Legend has it that many emperors in history sent people to refine elixirs on Ping Mountain. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the elixir hall built by the emperors in ancient times for refining elixirs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou remained calm.

"Boss, Fire Monkey and Ground Jumper have gone missing."

At this moment, Hong Gu came over and reported to Chen Yulou.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou frowned and said, "Send someone to search for it and see if it has wandered off somewhere in there."

"Commander Luo, the two brothers who came down with us are also missing."

At this moment, Luo Laowai's adjutant also came over to report.

"Just like with General Manager Chen, send people to search for him. We need to find him alive or dead."

Luo Laowai immediately gave the order.

Chen Yulou then pulled Hong Gu aside and whispered, "Tell the brothers to be careful. Brother Guan said there's demonic energy down there, and there might be a powerful demon lurking. We need to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Hong Gu's expression changed.

at the same time.

Guan Shaoqing, on the other hand, broke away from the main group and walked along the palace roof to the front of the palace at a distance.

At this moment, a trail of broken tiles that looked like a centipede crawling but was more than two meters wide appeared in Guan Shaoqing's line of sight. One end of the trail extended to the left wall, and the other end extended to the end of the tiled roof.
