After solving Ma Zhenbang, Huamaguai also led the team back to Pingshan.
This time they brought three tons of quicklime and 500 large roosters to deal with the poisonous insects in the underground palace.
Therefore, Chen Yulou decided to steal Pingshan twice. In order to boost his morale, he specially held a swearing-in meeting to offer sacrifices to the gods.
Because this activity is no different from the past, it is a joint effort between the two mountains of Moving Mountain and Xiling Mountain, and it is not a one-man trip. Therefore, we must swear an oath in front of the gods to show unity and loyalty, so as not to let anyone see the benefits and forget their loyalty halfway. Internal betrayal ruined the situation.
On that day, an incense table was set up in the dilapidated courtyard of Yizhuang. This incense table was actually an offering table prepared for the dead in the palace. The heads of pigs, cows and sheep were placed on the table, and the heads of three animals, the Overlord of Western Chu and Wu Zixu, were placed on the table. It is a portrait of an ancestor, and the upper hand is the throne of Emperor Guan.
The bandits first kowtow in front of their ancestor, and then make a blood alliance.
A group of thieves cut off the chicken heads and burned them on yellow paper, and made an agreement: all the pill pills and pearls stolen from the ancient tomb would belong to the Taoist monks of Bishan, and all the remaining buried artifacts and treasures would be obtained by the Xiling thieves.
Immediately, everyone lit lanterns, torches, and bright pines, left Laoxiong Ridge Yizhuang, and went into the mountains to rob tombs under the moonlight.
…
At dawn, we have arrived at Pingshan.
Chen Yulou’s idea was to lead people down from the mountain gap, first scatter a large group of live chickens, clean up the poisonous insects hidden in the apse and the mountain gap, and then use explosives to blow up a passage directly to the Hades Palace;
Or it may still be based on explosives, choose a weak location on the ridge, blast through the rocky mountain, and dig out the underground palace. This is a routine commonly used by Xiling warriors. Although it is feasible, it requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I know a secret passage that leads directly from the back hall to the Hades Palace." Xiang Nan explained, "And Pingshan Mountain is already tilted to the point of collapse. If it is bombed with explosives again, I'm afraid this mountain will collapse. . By then, no matter what treasures there are, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get them.”
In the original novel, Pingshan was blown up randomly by Chen Yulou and his men, and it collapsed. Luo Laowai, his army, and a large number of Xiling bandits were smashed into powder by the collapsing mountains, and suffered heavy losses.
“Brother Partridge Whistle reminds me.” After hearing what Xiang Nan said, Chen Yulou nodded immediately.
…
Subsequently, they discussed and decided that they should enter through the secret passage in the apse.
At the moment, Xiang Nan, Chen Yulou, Lao Yangren, Huamaguai, Hongniang and others went down first and used roosters and lime to kill the centipede group in the underground palace.
After finishing cleaning up, fire arrows again to let the large troops come down.
Everyone immediately started to build a centipede-hanging mountain ladder, while Xiang Nan and the old foreigner continued to use the sky-drilling rope.
Two-pronged approach, act together.
Chen Yulou, as the leader of Xiling, still took the lead this time, taking Huamaguai, Hongniang, Kunlun Molec and others down first.
Xiang Nan ordered Hua Ling to stay behind while he took the old foreigner down.
Because we were well prepared this time, everyone was more motivated.
Climbing quickly, it took less than a stick of incense to reach the halfway point.
At this moment, the Angry Chicken in the basket on Xiang Nan's back suddenly began to crow, crow, crow, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Everyone, be careful!" Xiang Nan said immediately, "The angry chicken is warning, I am afraid there is danger."
When everyone heard this, they became vigilant, but after waiting there for a long time, there was no movement.
"Master, let's get down. What's wrong with hanging here? If you can't get up or get down, what's going on?" Miss Hong curled her lips and said, thinking that Xiang Nan was just being mysterious.
Chen Yulou was taught by a stranger since he was a child, and he developed a pair of night eyes, which allowed him to see in the dark. He looked around and saw nothing wrong.
Can't help but look at Xiang Nan, "Brothers Partridge Whistle, why don't we go down?"
Xiang Nan raised his finger and said "boo".
This move made Hong girl very dissatisfied, thinking that he was disrespectful to the leader of Xiling.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly kicked off the cliff and swung towards the red girl like a pendulum. On the way, he bumped into it, and suddenly a treasured sword appeared in his hand.
The light of the sword is sharp and dazzling, making people feel frightened. "What are you doing..." the red girl blurted out.
However, Xiang Nan slashed out with his sword, and then heard a piercing scream from behind Miss Hong, which startled her.
Everyone also raised their lanterns to shine, and they were all shocked.
I saw a big centipede about ten feet long lying behind Miss Hong.
This giant centipede has twenty-two segments made of flat links. The top of its head is black, the first segment is yellowish brown, the back of the remaining segments is dark blue, and the ventral surface is dark yellow. Each segment has five pairs of legs, and the ones near the mouth become gills and feet. The hook claws are sharp and agile.
The pair of palatine teeth alone are three feet long, and if they bite, they will cause death or injury.
The knife struck by Xiang Nan hit it right on the head, causing it to scream in pain.
And if Xiang Nan hadn't struck out with the knife in time, Miss Hong would have been bitten by a centipede and died.
Hong girl also reacted at this time and couldn't help but feel frightened.
At this time, Xiang Nan had already fought with the centipede.
I saw him waving his sword, slashing left and right on the centipede. He was so powerful that he was like a **** descending to earth.
Everyone present was dumbfounded and admired.
Such a big centipede has obviously become a demon and a spirit.
They have never seen such a powerful monster in their lives. Not to mention fighting it, just taking a look at it and not being scared to death is enough to be brave enough.
Xiang Nan was able to carry this centipede without falling behind. He was so brave and powerful that everyone present was in admiration.
…
Although this centipede is relatively large and its shell is hard enough, ordinary bullets and swords would probably have a hard time breaking through its defenses. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to fight.
In the original work, it was thanks to the partridge whistle that robbed it of its inner elixir that it died suddenly.
But unfortunately, it met Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan not only has high martial arts skills, but also inherited You Tanzhi’s ice silkworm poison, which can be said to be invulnerable to all poisons. Moreover, the black iron kitchen knife in his hand is extremely sharp and can cut iron like clay.
These are the enemies of the centipede.
He used the whirlwind knife technique, and the knife was like a whirlwind. The knife struck the centipede, cutting its head and body with bruises all over, and yellow mucus flowed out.
Finally, after being stabbed ninety-nine and eighty-one times, the centipede whined and fell down the cliff, looking like it was going to die.
“Brothers Partridge Whistle are so capable!” Chen Yulou couldn’t help but admire.
Xiang Nan actually got rid of such a big centipede by himself. He was really brave.
Lao Yangren, Huamaguai, Kunlun Molle and others all gave a thumbs up.
The leader who can move mountains is truly worthy of his reputation.
“Um…thank you…” Miss Hong said her thanks sheepishly.
Just now, she thought Xiang Nan was making a fuss, but unexpectedly, someone saved her life in the blink of an eye, which made her feel a little ashamed.
But before she finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the cliff, and then a **** shadow jumped out from under the cliff. It hugged Xiang Nan and flew down again.
“Senior brother!!”
“Brothers Partridge Whistle!!”
