In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

The journey took about a day and a half before they arrived at the ancient city ruins.

The ruins of the royal city beneath their feet were discovered many years ago. Besides numerous murals and carvings, there are hundreds of dilapidated temples and endless ruins.

The authorities felt there was no need to preserve this desolate place, so they didn't invest much effort in it.

The fat man looked around in surprise and said, "This is the ruins of the royal city? Isn't this royal city a bit too small..."

Su Mo nodded, "It is a bit small. Even the ancient city of Jingjue is bigger than this!"

Su Mo turned to Uncle Ming and asked, "The ancient city ruins aren't that big. But there are hundreds of houses and caves; it'll take us quite a while to find them all..."

"Where exactly is the Guge Silver Eye you mentioned?"

"Let's go directly to our target; that's the fastest way..."

Whether it was due to old age or altitude sickness, Uncle Ming's thinking became very sluggish. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "It's probably in a temple, not in the palace. According to the scriptures, there should be a temple of reincarnation here. It should be there."

The fat man looked around and said speechlessly, "There are hundreds of temples here. Are you asking us to search for them one by one?"

Shirley Yang asked, "What are the distinctive features of this Reincarnation Temple?"

Uncle Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"........."

Su Mo rolled her eyes and looked at the Iron Rod Lama Ak, "Do you know which one the Samsara Temple is?"

Ak pointed to a location, "The Temple of Reincarnation is relatively well-preserved, so as far as I know, the temple site with the red pillars ahead is the Temple of Reincarnation..."

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and stepped forward in the direction Ak pointed. He gestured to the others, "Let's go..."

Compared to other buildings in the royal palace ruins, the Temple of Reincarnation was less affected by wind and rain, and as Ak said, it is relatively well preserved.

The most prominent feature of the temple is its several large red pillars, with layers of lamps embedded in their shafts.

The ceiling was damaged, with several large holes, and the statues and other decorations were gone. It's unclear whether they were stolen or rotted into the ground.

After everyone entered, they looked around.

The fat man asked suspiciously, "Where is that Guge Silver Eye?"

The fat man searched everywhere but found nothing but ruins.

Old Hu comforted him, "Don't worry, look carefully again..."

Su Mo quickly calculated with his fingers, then looked up at the ceiling, pointed to the relief sculpture above, and said, "It should be this sculpture..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.

The sunlight was perfect at the time.

Sunlight streamed through the holes in the roof, revealing a vibrant, colorful scene across the entire rooftop.

Half carved and half painted.

Although some parts were detached and others were damaged due to the collapse of the building, about 75% of the entire image was preserved.

The mural on the ceiling features a giant eyeball in the very center, surrounded by a ring of radiating totems.

It is divided into eight colors, each representing a different mythical beast.

There was another ring on the outermost edge. It consisted of dozens of naked dakinis, each with a unique and graceful bearing!

After confirming that it was indeed the Silver Eye of Guge, Old Hu said to Uncle Ming, "Now you should take out that ancient scroll and let us take a look. Without understanding it, just having these coordinates won't be enough to figure out the exact direction of the Demon Tower..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Uncle Ming.

Uncle Ming found a huge red pillar, his face flushed, and sat down, panting heavily.

Su Mo and the others immediately recognized the lack of oxygen due to altitude sickness.

Ah Dong quickly took out an oxygen tube and gave Uncle Ming a few breaths. After catching his breath, Uncle Ming's complexion returned to normal.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Uncle Ming reached into his bag to take out the scripture.

suddenly!

"Boom!"

A pillar in the temple collapsed and crashed down on the crowd.

Before anyone could dodge, just as the impact was about to hit them, Su Mo vanished from his spot with a whoosh, all his strength landing on his legs.

With the move of the Mountain Moving Taoist, Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper, the boulder weighing several thousand kilograms was kicked several meters away with a "bang".

"boom!"

The giant pillar collapsed with a loud crash!

"........."

Old Hu, Fatty, and the others had already acted relatively normally, after all, they were used to seeing this, but Uncle Ming and his group were dumbfounded and speechless with shock.

Ah Dong murmured, "Even the ancient overlords couldn't have been this good!"

"Overlord..."

The fat man immediately retorted, "What's so great about the Overlord? He was just born a few thousand years too early. If he could live in the same era as us, Brother Su would beat him to a pulp..."

Su Mo interrupted the fat man with a laugh, "Alright, alright, you're getting more and more outrageous!"

Su Mo looked at everyone and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

"fine…"

Everyone, including Lao Hu and Zhang Yingchuan, shook their heads.

The fat man asked first, "What just happened? Why did the pillar fall over?"

Uncle Ming looked bewildered; "I don't know, I just leaned against it..."

Su Mo explained, "The foundations of these pillars are rotten. They seemed fine normally, but just now, a little force was applied, like the last straw that broke the camel's back..."

Su Mo cautioned, "Everyone be careful, this place has been decayed by time. It's not as sturdy as it was hundreds of years ago!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to be careless in the slightest.

Ah Dong suddenly looked to the side, "What's that?"

It turns out that when that pillar fell, it crashed into an earthen wall, revealing a huge, dark space.

At that moment, a putrid smell wafted over. Everyone covered their mouths and noses.

Uncle Ming asked, "What's that smell?"

Old Hu covered his nose and said, "This was supposed to be a sealed space, but now that the walls have collapsed, the putrid smell has rushed out..."

Chapter 118: Strange Beasts, Black Iron Gate

Angry Sun Rooster, Mountain-Piercing Crocodile, Three-Inch Nail?

hiss!

Su Mo gasped.

Has the system started delivering live animals?

It should be noted that whether it is the Angry-Eyed Chicken, the Mountain-Piercing Cave Beetle, or the Three-Inch Nail, these are all rare and exotic beasts in the world.

The Angry-Eyed Rooster is the nemesis of the Five Poisons. When Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle joined forces to raid Ping Mountain, they encountered a giant poisonous insect, the Six-Winged Centipede. Ordinary weapons were no match for it, but thanks to the Angry-Eyed Rooster, the group managed to get through the ordeal.

The Mountain Moving Taoist's Cave-Piercing Armor is incredibly powerful and is a rare and extraordinary creature. It has helped the Mountain Moving Taoist dig up countless graves.

As for the three-inch nail, its story is even more legendary.

Ever since Wu Xie's grandfather, Wu Laogou, lost his sense of smell, he trained a small dog named "San Cun Ding" to hide in his sleeve.

This is how the nickname "Dog Fifth Master" came about!

Almost every one of these three mythical beasts has its own story!

Su Mo was quite excited and for a moment didn't know how to choose.

On the other side, Zhang Yingchuan covered his mouth and nose, "This smell is way too strong..."

Shirley Yang said, "It is said that the Italians found a lot of caves in this ruin, the most famous of which is a cave with a headless mummy."

"There's also a weapons storage cave, but these are all quite far from this Reincarnation Temple. I wonder what's in the secret caves inside this temple..."

The fat man volunteered, "We'll know once we take a look..."

As he spoke, the fat man stepped forward and turned on his flashlight, shining it into the cave.

Immediately, the fat man shouted excitedly, "There's treasure inside!"

Inside stood a bronze statue with three eyes and four arms, wearing a crown adorned with a Buddha image. It sat cross-legged on the head lotus pedestal, its three silver eyes gleaming brightly against the golden backdrop of the Buddha image!

As the fat man approached, he asked, "Is this gold?"

After the fat man finished speaking, a strong desire flashed in Ah Dong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Old Hu warned, "Fatty, be careful, I feel like something's not right!"

Behind the three Buddha statues, there was a tightly closed black iron door.

The door was covered with countless talismans and scriptures, as if something that could not be released was locked inside.

Attracted by the mysterious cave, everyone gathered around and peered inside with their flashlights.

"Just three-inch nails..."

At this moment, Su Mo muttered to himself.

Zhang Yingchuan didn't quite understand and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Su? What's this 'three-inch nail'?"

Su Mo smiled but didn't explain. He walked up to the fat man, glanced at the golden Buddha statue, and casually asked Ak, "Master, is there any special significance to this Buddha statue?"
