All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 159 Mountain-Piercing Armor

After some twists and turns, the group finally saw the entrance to an underground palace at the end of the rift valley.

"Very good!"

The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect were immediately in high spirits and extremely excited.

Chen Yulou was also somewhat excited, waving his hand emphatically: "Brothers, let's go!"

"Let's go!"

The group roared in unison, and then entered the underground palace one after another.

As soon as Gu Yu stepped into the underground palace, he felt a chilling aura rushing towards him, mixed with a putrid stench.

However, as the disciples entered the underground palace, the chilling atmosphere lessened considerably under the torchlight.

Gu Yu glanced around and realized that the underground palace didn't look nearly as grand as it did in the drama.

This underground palace was clearly converted from a natural cave in the mountainside, and it appears somewhat rough.

However, this is only the entrance to the underground palace; it's still unclear what the rest of the underground palace is like.

"Everyone, be careful."

Chen Yulou gave a reminder.

After walking for a while, they saw that the hall was piled with many ancient weapons, armor, and the bones of humans and horses.

Judging from the clothing that has not completely decayed, some of these corpses belonged to ancient soldiers, but most were civilians.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but say, "Those must have been the people who built the underground palace back then. How pitiful."

One of the Unloading Ridge disciples squatted down to take a look and said, "They must have been poisoned and forced to commit suicide."

Another disciple said, "Therefore, we must find that Yuan Dynasty general and whip his corpse—no, we should grind his bones to dust."

o

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The disciples echoed in agreement.

"Rustling sound—"

At that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.

"Coo coo coo————"

The old herbalist shouted, "Everyone be careful, there must be poisonous insects!"

The disciples, being experienced, immediately gathered together, forming a circle, with those holding torches standing outside, ready to drive away the poisonous insects.

Sure enough, with that rustling sound, countless centipedes surged over like a tide.

"Ooh ooh ooh~"

The Angry Rooster was enraged, letting out a high-pitched crow, and at the same time flapping its wings, it charged out, stomping and pecking, with the air of a great general charging into a thousand troops.

"Bang bang bang!"

At that moment, another burst of gunfire rang out in the hall.

Although Chen Yulou doesn't like using guns, it doesn't mean that the Xieling disciples don't use them. After all, we're no longer in the era of cold weapons. If there are no guns and ammunition, how can Xieling stand on its own?

Although bullets are not very effective against countless small centipedes, the Angry Sun Chicken is their natural enemy. In a panic, they all fled and soon disappeared.

Chen Yulou let out a long breath and shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't touch the centipede corpses!"

Next, the group searched the hall but found no other passages.

"strangeness----"

Chen Yulou frowned and glanced around.

He had deduced that there were several passages and underground palaces below when he was above the rift, so why can't he find any other passages now?

Are the underground palaces not interconnected?

If that's the case, then it's troublesome; we'll need to find another entry point.

At this moment, Partridge Whistle was also looking around.

In comparison, he had explored far more tombs than Chen Yulou, and his experience was naturally much richer. After inspecting the tombs, a thought came to mind.

So he walked up to Chen Yulou and said, "Brother Chen, let's go up first, and bring more people down tomorrow."

"Oh?" Chen Yulou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Could it be that you've discovered something, brother?"

Partridge Whistle said, "Based on my observation, this underground palace is not far from another underground palace. Although there is no passage, we can dig one out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou frowned: "You mean to use explosives? But that's very risky. If it collapses, the consequences would be unimaginable. Unless we dig by hand, it will just take more time."

Partridge Whistle shook his head: "No need to bomb or dig by hand, I have my own way."

Chen Yulou's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "It seems that you're going to use the Mountain Moving Technique, brother. I'll just have a chance to see it for myself."

The four major sects each have their own specialties. It is said in the martial arts world that "the tomb raiders have their seals, the gold diggers have their talismans, the mountain movers have their techniques, and the mountain unloaders have their armor."

The Unloading Ridge sect relies mainly on manpower; when thousands or tens of thousands of disciples join forces, the scene is truly spectacular.

The name "Moving Mountain" sounds similar to "Unloading Ridge," but it doesn't rely on manpower. After all, the population of Moving Mountain has always been small, so where would they get so many people to move mountains?

Therefore, moving mountains relies on techniques.

Chen Yulou had always been curious about what kind of technique the Mountain Moving Taoist used, and this time, he finally had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes.

Back at the top of the cliff, Hong Gu, Hua Ling, and the others couldn't wait to ask about what was happening down below.

Hearing that the group had experienced so much down there, including encountering the legendary carrion owl and scorpion demon, they regretted not having experienced it themselves.

The next day, the group went down to the bottom of the valley again.

This time there were even more people, with Hong Gu and Hua Ling joining the group, and they all arrived at the underground palace together.

Partridge Whistle found a hollow spot in the mountain wall by using water seepage, and then instructed the old foreigner: "Take the mountain-digging tool."

"good!"

The old foreigner responded and immediately moved a basket over.

When he took out what was inside, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect were all surprised.

"I've long heard of the Mountain-Moving and Armor-Splitting Technique, but I never imagined it was a living thing?"

"Could it be the legendary cave-dwelling pangolin?"

The old man did indeed take out two living creatures, one large and one small, which looked somewhat like pangolins, with large, thick scales covering their bodies and strong legs.

Partridge Whistle explained, "The 'mountain-digging armor' is commonly known as the 'three nails and four armors.' This pair of 'mountain-piercing and tomb-drilling armor' is one of the four types of armor, and it can only be used in the Sichuan-Guizhou area."

Hong Gu asked in surprise, "There are such rules? Why can't it be used elsewhere?"

Partridge Whistle did not answer.

Chen Yulou smiled and said, "Hong Gu, don't ask any more questions. This is a secret technique of the Mountain Moving Sect. They've already taught us so much; you don't expect us to learn it all, do you?"

"Hahaha!"

The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Bang!"

Enraged, Hong Gu punched the disciple who was closest to her and laughing the loudest, yelling, "What are you laughing at!"

The disciples quickly fell silent.

Partridge Whistle smiled: "It's not that I'm unwilling to teach, but this is our Mountain Moving Sect's secret technique, which only disciples of our sect can learn. Alright, old foreigner, Hua Ling, let's begin."

"yes!"

The old foreigner responded to Hua Ling, fed the pair of cave beetles something, and then led them to the mountainside to start digging.

This was a real eye-opener for the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.

The hard stone wall was as smooth as tofu under the claws of these two cave-dwelling beetles, and they quickly carved out a large hole in it.
