- Being in a huge underground space, Han Yu and Ning Ping were a little disoriented. This place is really too big, and I don’t know if it was formed naturally or was excavated manually. Anyway, it is so big that Han Yu and Ning Ping, who have just arrived here, are not sure where to go next.
“Let’s walk along the underground river.” Han Yu suggested to Ningping after taking a look at the flowing underground river. Ning Ping thought for a while and agreed to Han Yu's suggestion. According to the rules of ancient imperial tombs, the location of the tomb is very particular, which is inseparable from the water in Feng Shui. Walking along the underground river is safer than wandering in any direction.
The two of them walked along the direction of the underground river for about half an hour, and saw a large lake in the middle of it.
? yāng is a small island, on which you can vaguely see the outline of a castle.
"Ning Ping, wait for me here for a while. I'll go to the island to have a look." Han Yu said to Ning Ping and flew to the island in the center of the lake. Just less than ten meters after flying out, the lake suddenly changed. A wall of water suddenly rose in front of Han Yu. Before Han Yu could turn around, a circular wall of water surrounded the small island in the lake. Han Yu did not dare to approach rashly, so he could only fly back to the shore and find another way. As soon as Han Yu flew back, the rising water wall also fell, and the lake gradually returned to calm.
“It seems like it’s a bit troublesome to fly to that island from the sky.” Han Yu said to Ning Ping after landing. Ning Ping nodded and looked around, "Well, let's look around to see if there are any ships or something like that?"
"How can there be a boat in a place like this?" Han Yu said, shaking his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of singing coming from the lake. Han Yu and Ning Ping followed the sound and saw a figure on the lake in the distance, singing and rowing across the boat. When they got closer, Han Yu and Ning Ping saw clearly that it was not a boat, but a bamboo raft. But it doesn't matter if it's a bamboo raft. I finally have a tool that can be used to paddle to the small island in the lake.
“Hey~ can you do me a favor?” Han Yu waved to the people on the bamboo raft in the lake and shouted. Ning Ping on the side looked on guard. How could humans exist in a place like this? Whatever is on that raft, be careful.
Hearing Han Yu’s cry. The people on the bamboo raft stopped singing and did not look back. They just turned their backs to Han Yu and Ning Ping and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Can you send us to the small island in the lake?" Han Yu asked after hearing this.
"Where are you going and what are you doing? Not everyone can go there."
"We are going there to rescue people, so do us a favor."
"There is nothing but dead people there. What are you doing to save the dead?"
"What we want to save are living people. Anyway, send us there. If you have any requests, you can make them." Han Yu said after hearing this.
Hearing what Han Yu said. The ferryman holding the bamboo pole suddenly laughed, "Hehehe Can I really ask for anything?"
When Han Yu heard that there was a way, he quickly replied: "As long as we can do it."
"You can definitely do it."
"What do you want?" Han Yu asked, Ning Ping on the side was already ready to fight.
"……money."
"Huh? What did you just say?" Han Yu and Ning Ping, who were on high alert, almost thought they heard wrongly. Han Yu had to ask the ferryman to repeat it again.
“I said money, I want money, lots and lots of money.” The ferryman looked back at Han Yu and Ning Ping and said. When they saw the ferryman, Han Yu and Ning Ping frowned slightly. This guy actually wore a gold mask. Don't know where it came from.
"Why do you think of asking for money? Even if I give you money, can you spend it here?" Han Yu asked with a frown.
"Who said it's going to be spent? I can't keep it until I see it. Anyway, I need money. If you want me to send you to the island, you have to give me money."
"There is a golden city above here. If you send us there, you can take as much gold as you want from that golden city." Han Yu thought for a while and said to the ferryman.
The ferryman snorted softly when he heard this, but was not fooled, "Huh. Do you think I'm stupid? Those are cursed things, and I don't want those things. I want the money you bring. Give me the money, and I'll I’ll send you there. If you don’t have money, there’s no need to discuss anything.”
Seeing that the ferryman was about to leave, Han Yu called to the ferryman and asked Ningping in a low voice: "Ningping, have you brought any money?"
"Are you really planning to give money?" Ning Ping was stunned when he heard this. He asked looking at Han Yu.
"There is no way. Looking at this guy's desperate need for money, it seems that not giving him money is not an option."
"How about we beat him up and force him to send us there?" Ning Ping thought about it and saidDiscuss.
"Can you use that thing in his hand?" Han Yu asked after hearing this.
"No." Ning Ping was slightly stunned. replied.
"Then the idea you just mentioned won't work, and I won't use it."
The ferryman asked impatiently: "Hey, have we discussed it yet? Why are you so mother-in-law? Do you have any money?"
"Can it be replaced with something else?" Ning Ping asked aloud.
“Yes, as long as it’s something valuable.” The ferryman replied immediately.
Hearing what the ferryman said, Ning Ping took off a piece of jade hanging from his neck. "This is a piece of warm jade that my grandfather gave me when I was just born. It should be worth a lot of money."
Gold is valuable but jade is priceless, not to mention that the jade Ning Ping took out was given to him by his grandfather, which is very memorable. Han Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, but he didn't expect that Ning Ping was faster than Han Yu and threw the jade in his hand before Han Yu could stop him. The ferryman took the jade and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is pretty good. Come on up, you two."
Seeing that the ferryman had collected the jade, Han Yu secretly made up his mind to snatch the jade back from the ferryman and return it to Ningping when he came back, and never let the jade fall into the hands of the ferryman. .
The two people jumped on the bamboo raft. After the ferryman told them to stand firm, he pushed the bamboo pole hard and the bamboo raft headed towards the small island in the lake.
The bamboo raft was not moving very fast. When the bamboo raft reached the place where Han Yu encountered the wall of water, Han Yu and Ning Ping were prepared to deal with emergencies at the same time. Seeing Han Yu and Ning Ping's nervous look, the ferryman couldn't help but smile and said to them: "Don't worry, you are on the bamboo raft now, and the water wall used to resist air intruders will not appear."
"Why?" Han Yu asked puzzledly.
"Hehehe There are countless underwater undead in this lake. They stay in this lake for many years. Their task is to guard the island in the lake. Except for my bamboo raft, who else wants to reach the island in the lake? That’s a no-brainer.”
"Can't we just swim over?"
The ferryman laughed loudly after hearing Han Yu's words: "Hahaha you can try it. Because there are underwater undead in this lake, the water is so cold that it can freeze those who fall into the water in a short time. The body, coupled with the drag of the undead underwater. No matter what falls into the water, there is no possibility of it floating back up."
Hearing what the ferryman said, Han Yu stopped talking to the ferryman on this issue. Instead, he looked at the island in the lake and asked, "How long until we get there?"
"There's still half the journey. But this is your destination. Didn't you just say you wanted to swim there? You can swim there now." Before he finished speaking, the ferryman suddenly launched an attack on Han Yu. The bamboo pole swept towards Han Yu and Ning Ping. Ning Ping drew out the Qingyun Sword to block and blocked the sweeping bamboo pole, and then Han Yu threw a fireball at the ferryman. The ferryman dodged the fireball, and just as he was about to counterattack, he saw Han Yu rushing in front of the ferryman. He flew up and kicked the ferryman off the bamboo raft. When the ferryman was kicked away, the jade that Ning Ping had given to the ferryman fell out of the ferryman's arms. When Han Yu saw it, he quickly reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the ferryman grabbed Han Yu's hand when Han Yu reached out to catch the jade and dragged Han Yu into the lake. Ning Ping was shocked when he saw this and rushed over to help Han Yu. Unexpectedly, before Ning Ping could rush forward, the ferryman had already dragged Han Yu into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, Han Yu felt cold all over his body, and the seams in his bones were soaked. He hurriedly struggled to swim up the lake. Unexpectedly, before Han Yu could even raise his head out of the lake, he felt his feet sink. Han Yu looked down. I saw two underwater undead hugging Han Yu's feet respectively.
The feeling in the water is completely different from that on land. Here, even if Han Yu has great ability, it will be difficult to use it. But it was impossible for Han Yu to sit still and wait for death. Han Yu stretched out his arms while struggling. At this moment, he couldn't care much anymore, and Han Yu was going to try the healing bottle Han Mengxin gave him. The underwater undead should be regarded as a kind of energy body with dark attributes. The light energy that restrains dark attributes should be useful.
"I hope it works." Han Yu prayed and opened the treatment bottle in his hand. What I didn't expect was that it would be so difficult to open a bottle in this water. The bottle cap was usually easy to open, but Han Yu mentally spent a long time without opening it.
Just when Han Yu wanted to open the treatment bottle. Three more underwater undead hugged Han Yu, and five underwater undead desperately dragged Han Yu underwater. Han Yu felt that it was starting to become a little difficult to breathe. Venus began to appear in front of his eyes, and the strength in his hands became weaker and weaker. Han Yu understood that this was the result of lack of oxygen.
??Just as Han Yu was about to be dragged to the bottom by the underwater undead, he heard a "pop" not far away and Ning Ping jumped into the water. When he saw that Han Yu was about to die, he swam over quickly. Han Yu felt even more anxious when he saw it. He wanted to remind Ning Ping, but he forgot that he was underwater. When he opened his mouth, he immediately poured water into his mouth from the edge of the lake.
Just when Han Yu was about to faint, he saw a layer of pale golden light surrounding the body of Ning Ping swimming over. The underwater undead seemed to be afraid of that layer of light. When Ning Ping approached Han Yu, they entangled him. Han Yu's five underwater undead men let go and stepped aside. Ning Ping stretched out his arms to hug Han Yu and headed upstream to the lake.
……
The air is finally breathable.
Han Yu gasped for air and climbed onto the bamboo raft with Ning Ping's help. Then he reached out and pulled Ning Ping onto the bamboo raft. The two of them gasped and looked around.
"Where is the ferryman?" Ning Ping asked Han Yudao.
“I don’t know, that guy disappeared after dragging me into the water.” Han Yu said to Ning Ping while picking his throat to spit out the lake water he drank.
“The bamboo pole is gone, what should we do next?” Ning Ping asked again.
"Ugh~" Han Yu vomited out the lake water he drank into his stomach, and along with it all the undigested food in his stomach, vomited it into the water. Hearing Ning Ping's question, he stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and said to Ning Ping: "It's okay, there is still me without the bamboo pole. It just can't fly, Ning Ping, do you still remember how the watercraft moves?"
"of course I remember."
“Remember to come over and help.”
Hearing this, Ning Ping walked behind Han Yu and put his hand on Han Yu's back. Then Han Yu, who had his back to Ning Ping, stretched out his hands and pointed them at the lake. Two balls of flame were ejected, and the bamboo raft moved quickly towards the island in the lake, much faster than the previous ferryman.
When the two arrived at the shore, they first dragged the bamboo raft to the shore for use when they came back. Then Han Yu returned the jade he snatched from the ferryman to Ningping.
"Is that why you were dragged into the water by the ferryman?" Ning Ping asked Han Yu while holding the jade.
"Well. It's not a big deal. Let's go. We have to hurry up and find those two children." Han Yu answered casually and walked up the artificial stairs on the island first.
Ning Ping opened his mouth to say a few words of thanks to Han Yu, but when the words reached his lips, he shrank back. It’s not that Ning Ping doesn’t want to talk anymore. But Ning Ping suddenly remembered Han Yu's character. No matter how much he said thank you, it would not necessarily make Han Yu happy. It was better to keep the gratitude in his heart and wait for Han Yu to be in trouble to help him.
The two of them were silent all the way, and soon reached the end of the stairs. We came to an open platform. Opposite the two of them was a palace that looked very grand.
Walking through the huge stone steps, Han Yu and Ning Ping came to the entrance of the palace. On both sides of the palace door, two stone lions squatted on each side, looking at Han Yu and Ning Ping standing in front of the palace door with their teeth and claws open. Han Yu and Ning Ping looked around, and just as they were about to enter the palace, they heard the sound of a whip, followed by two stone lions squatting in front of the palace gate, their eyes lit up. Surprisingly came alive.
Han Yu and Ning Ping jumped aside respectively, and the two stone lions also pounced on Han Yu and Ning Ping respectively after the sound of whips. A man and a lion started fighting in front of the palace gate. Looking at the stone lion swaying its head and tail, Han Yu wanted to find the location where the whip crack had just occurred, but the palace was surrounded by mountain walls on the left and right sides, causing a loud echo. For a while, it was really hard to tell where the whipping sound came from.
With a "hoo~" sound, the stone lion attacking Han Yu rushed over. Han Yu dodged the stone lion's attack and jumped on the back of the stone lion. The stone lion felt something on its back and immediately shook its body. Han Yu jumped up before the stone lion shook its body, and then stepped heavily on the stone lion's spine.
It’s like being stepped on and having your spine broken. The stone lion screamed and fell to the ground with a thud. It tried hard to get up but couldn't do it no matter how hard it tried. After setting aside the stone lion he was responsible for, Han Yu looked towards Ning Ping. As soon as Ning Ping drew his sword and his figure flashed, the stone lion he was responsible for turned into broken pieces, which was a much worse fate than the stone lion that was dealt with by Han Yu.
The two stone lions were leveled. Han Yu and Ning Ping, who had retreated to the steps of the palace just now because of the fight with the stone lions, raised their legs and were about to go up the steps. When they looked up, they saw above them, directly in front of the palace gate. , and at some point a scantily clad red-haired woman stood.
Because of their location, Han Yu and Ning Ping could easily see the red-haired woman's skirt. The red-haired woman didn't seem to notice this yet. Seeing that Han Yu and Ning Ping had discovered him, he immediately waved his hand, shook the whip in his hand, and said coldly to themHe yelled: "Those who trespass on the tomb will die!"
As the red-haired woman finished speaking, the two stone lions that had been leveled suddenly began to move again. The two stone lions that were trampled by Han Yu and unable to move on the ground and the two stone lions that were torn into pieces by Ning Ping gradually recovered. Returning to normal, he pounced on Han Yu and Ning Ping again.
Han Yu and Ning Ping were about to fight back, but they saw two stone lions without even looking at them. They rushed past them and rushed to the red-haired woman. They circled the red-haired woman like kittens and started acting coquettishly. The red-haired woman casually comforted the two stone lions, then pointed at Han Yu and Ning Ping at the foot of the steps and said, "Destroy them."
But the two stone lions did not attack as Han Yu and Ning Ping thought. After listening to the red-haired woman's order, they all shook their heads and rushed to both sides of the palace gate to act as guard lions again. . This accident made the red-haired woman very angry, and she cursed angrily: "You two are worthless"
Han Yu and Ning Ping looked at each other and rushed up the steps. As he got closer, Han Yu realized that the red-haired woman was quite short, only about 1.5 meters tall, and he could look down on her.
Facing the two bad men looking down at her with "yin smiles" on their faces, the red-haired woman instinctively hugged her chest and asked calmly: "What do you want to do?"
"Hehehewhat do we want to do? What do you think we should do at this time?" Han Yu replied cooperatively. Ningping, on the other hand, looked at the stone lions on both sides of the palace gate to avoid being attacked by surprise.
"You, don't come over." The red-haired woman took two steps back in fear. When Han Yu saw this, he just wanted to cooperate and say a few more words, when he heard Ning Ping say: "Stop playing, we don't have that free time."
"Yes, we really don't have that spare time." Han Yu nodded when he heard this, looked at the red-haired woman and said, "Don't worry, we are not interested. Let me ask you, where is the tomb of the immortal in this mausoleum?"
"How dare you! How dare you call His Majesty the Old Immortal." The red-haired woman yelled after hearing this.
It’s a pity that Han Yu didn’t take that approach at all. He slapped the red-haired woman and threatened: “If you don’t tell me, I’ll spank you and split your butt into eight petals.”
Hearing this, the red-haired woman took a step back in fear and reached out to cover her butt. Her pitiful look could easily make unsuspecting people feel pity. Unfortunately, Han Yu and Ning Ping happened to be insiders. Think about it, in this kind of ancient tomb, even though the appearance of the red-haired woman looks like a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, her actual age is probably that of Han Yu and Ningping's ancestor nǎinǎi. There is plenty. When they thought of this, the pity in Han Yu and Ning Ping's hearts immediately disappeared.
Seeing that Han Yu and Ning Ping were not confused by her, the red-haired woman couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. But when she saw Han Yu rolling up his arms and sleeves as if he was preparing to really slap her, the red-haired woman was scared and held two stones in his hands. The lion is not strong enough. Faced with two bastards who don't know how to show mercy, the red-haired woman must think about her own ass.
"Go through the palace and keep walking along the mountain path." The red-haired woman took another step back and kept a certain distance from Han Yu and said.
After hearing this, Han Yu and Ning Ping looked at each other, and the two stepped into the palace. Before going in, Han Yu turned around and thanked the red-haired woman, "Thank you. By the way, I have a small suggestion. Next time, remember not to stand so high and talk to people. You can easily get exposed, you know?" After that, Han Yu Yu ignored the red-haired woman whose face turned red and followed Ning Ping into the palace.
The red-haired woman's face turned red because of Han Yu's embarrassing words. When she came to her senses and wanted to scold them, she found that Han Yu and Ning Ping were gone. Looking inside the palace gate, the red-haired woman stamped her feet and walked towards the palace.
After entering the palace, Han Yu lit the lights in the palace with the faint light, and the palace became brightly lit for a while.
It is a very simple palace. There are no decorations in the palace, but the area is quite large. It is more appropriate to call it a palace than a practice room.
"Is there anyone? Come out! I saw you!" Han Yu suddenly shouted to the place where the shadow was in the palace. Ning Ping gave Han Yu a confused look, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he heard a sigh, and then a figure walked out of the shadow. Looking at Han Yu, he asked in confusion: "How did you discover me?"
"Ah? I guessed it." Han Yu didn't expect that someone would actually be called out by him calling him that casually. When someone asked him, he subconsciously told the truth.
“It’s just that the truth hurts. At least the face of the person who was deceived by Han Yu was not very pretty. After looking at Han Yu with tangled eyes for a long time, he finally sighed and said to Han Yu and Ning Ping: "Anyone who breaks into the underground mausoleum without permission should die. Why do you come here to seek death?"
"Wait a minute!" Han Yu saidshouted before taking action.
"Any last words?"
"My last words can't really be counted. I just want to ask, are you a human or a ghost?" Han Yu asked after hearing this and looking at the person who appeared.
"Of course I am a human being, don't you see my shadow?"
After being reminded, Han Yu looked at the ground and saw that there was indeed a human figure. But since it is a human being, where did this person come from? Are there still humans living in such a place?
Han Yu asked his doubts, but the human being who was deceived by Han Yu told Han Yu that he and his family had lived here for generations, and their mission was to guard this underground tomb. - Didn't finish reading?
