Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

Chapter 78 The Shadowless Immortal Bridge, Swallows Soaring Through the Sky

The tunnel, which runs through the mountain, stretches for nearly a kilometer. After walking for 15 minutes, the team finally saw light ahead.

Upon seeing this, Ah Ning's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she quickly quickened her pace.

When she reached the cave entrance, she immediately saw a canyon shaped like an inverted T.

The canyon is like a giant sword cleaved in two, with both sides being perfectly smooth.

At the halfway point of the mountain, each side extends out to a platform, resembling a dragon gate.

At both ends of the Dragon Gate are stone carvings of black sheep that I had seen before in the Feng family's old house, about twenty or thirty of them on each side.

Above the stone platform opposite, two ancient seal script characters, each the size of a washbasin, are carved.

"Boss Li, what are those two characters?"

The system in Li Changsheng's mind automatically translated, and he whispered, "Terrifying."

"The Horrifying Platform!"

Ah Ning's eyes lit up, and she instantly remembered the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" she had just seen, which said that in front of the "Qiahuntai" (a platform for frightening souls), the Milky Way stretched across the sky.

This should indicate that the entrance to the Immortal Village is right in front of us.

Thinking of this, Aning subconsciously wanted Mike and the others to scout ahead first.

They wanted to use ropes to rappel down.

However, she was stopped by Li Changsheng as soon as she opened her mouth.

A Ning, confused, looked at Li Changsheng with surprise.

"Why not let Mike and the others go down?"

Li Changsheng shook his head: "Continuing like this is just throwing our lives away in vain."

As he spoke, he casually picked up a stone from inside the tunnel and threw it into the canyon.

As soon as the stone was thrown in, a strange vortex suddenly formed in the canyon.

The airflow carried the rocks, tearing them to pieces in an instant, then swirling them away, heading off to who knows where.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the team involuntarily gasped.

This canyon looks calm and peaceful, but I never expected it to hide such terrifying mountain winds!

Most importantly, the mountain wind was completely invisible. If Li Changsheng hadn't demonstrated it earlier, they would have thought there was no danger.

Seeing this scene, Ah Ning felt a wave of fear wash over her.

She bit her lip and whispered her thanks to Li Changsheng.

"No need to thank me, it's just money to help others avoid trouble."

Li Changsheng's operating principles are actually not complicated at all; as long as you pay, everything is negotiable.

Of course, if someone could help him complete some tasks like Wu Xie or Xiang Batou, he would be willing to ensure their safety.

If it's someone like Wu Sansheng, who's stingy and doesn't help with completing tasks, he wouldn't care whether the other person lives or dies.

Ah Ning nodded, then frowned and said helplessly, "This vortex is invisible and can even tear apart rocks. Even if we throw a rope to the other side of the canyon, it probably won't work. It really is like a silver river in the sky."

At this point, Aning finally understood the meaning of the line "The Milky Way stretches across the sky" in the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu".

Upon hearing this, Xiang, the foreman, pondered for a moment and said, "I guess the next line, 'Shadowless Immortal Bridge,' should be the secret to breaking these mountain winds, but what exactly is the Shadowless Immortal Bridge?"

After speaking, Xiang leaned forward slightly, looking at the canyon in front of him.

The two sides of the canyon are several tens of meters apart, neither wide nor narrow.

Could there really be some invisible bridge in the middle?

But seeing how the stone was shattered into pieces, who would dare to try it!

Li Changsheng didn't want to waste time, so he directly revealed the answer to the riddle.

He looked at Aning and instructed, "Fire a shot down into the canyon."

"shot?"

Ah Ning was taken aback. She had brought two handguns with her on this trip into the mountains, but since it was in China, she had finally managed to get a gun permit, so she tried not to use them as much as possible.

Upon hearing Li Changsheng's words, A Ning thought for a moment and then agreed.

She pulled the Glock pistol from its concealed holster at her waist and fired a shot into the canyon below.

"Bang!"

The bullet fired, and the gunshot echoed through the canyon for several seconds before stopping.

The T-shaped canyon structure acts like a natural sound amplifier, instantly amplifying the originally not-so-loud gunshots countless times!

After the gunshots, the canyon gradually quieted down.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the bottom of the canyon!

However, after waiting for several minutes, there was still no movement.

The Taoist priest was getting impatient and shouted, "Advisor Li, do you really know the route or not? If you don't, don't try to act tough. If you really can't, just take a detour."

Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi glanced sideways at Gou Daoshi and snorted, "Take a detour? You make it sound so easy. This canyon is so steep that even birds can hardly cross it. If you want to take a detour, it will take at least ten days to cross more than a dozen mountains, and there's no guarantee you'll even make it in."

At this point, Hei Xiazi paused for a moment before continuing.

"If you don't trust Consultant Li, go find your own way and don't get in my way."

"Hey, how dare you talk like that!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ah Ning frowned slightly and snapped, "Don't talk, be quiet!!"

Gou Daoshi shut his mouth in frustration. Although he wanted to enter the bottom line and find the true form of the Black Sheep King, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to get through the door on his own.

Just as he was inwardly complaining, he suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound!

What was that sound?

Everyone was stunned and quickly looked down into the canyon.

Below the canyon, countless swifts emerged from various tunnels and crevices in the rock walls.

These swifts seemed endless, and in no time they formed a black curtain that blotted out the sky.

Even more miraculously, countless swifts seemed to be guided by the unseen forces, forming a swift bridge that stretched from the opposite Dragon Gate Stone Platform all the way to the tunnel exit where everyone was.

Everyone except Li Changsheng was shocked by what they saw!

Ah Ning murmured the four words "Shadowless Immortal Bridge" from the "Guanshan Zhimi Fu" (a book on mountain observation), her eyes filled with disbelief!

After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "So that's what the Shadowless Immortal Bridge means!"

Xiang, the foreman, nodded with a sigh.

"Swifts build bridges, soaring through the air... I would have found it hard to believe if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"

Mike, Caison, and the other mercenaries were screaming and shouting as if they had seen a ghost.

What I was seeing was simply too unbelievable.

Tens of thousands of swifts gathered together to form a fairy bridge, just like the Magpie Bridge in the myth!

After thinking for a moment, Xiang, the foreman, said softly, "These swifts must be kept in captivity by humans, specifically to avoid the mountain winds!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the swifts below.

The fierce mountain wind can tear apart rocks! But when it touches the soft feathers of a swift, it obediently parts them to the sides!

As the Swift Bridge took shape, the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, but dared not step onto it lightly.

After all, this is a bridge built by swallows. If you walk on it and the swallows scatter, you'll fall to your death. Even if you don't fall, you'll be torn apart by the mountain winds in the canyon.
