Chapter 42 Chapter 42: The Sinner Who Guards Yaochi

Holding the small bottle, Huang Qianshan looked at the corpse on the ground. He thought that since this person died, he would have to hold on to the bottle, so the liquid in the bottle was very important, so he put the bottle in his backpack.There are still a few corpses in the palace, but they are all incomplete, and it is difficult to see why they died.The underground palace is incomplete and decayed, and the stones have been cracked. If there were any beasts living here, they would have died long ago.Although the underground palace has air circulation, very few ferocious beasts use the depths of the ground as their dens, unless it is snakes, rats and scorpions.Huang Qianshan had picked enough herbs long ago, snakes, rats and scorpions were not to be feared, but he was worried that there would be unexpected dangers in the underground palace.

Lao Yue saw several corpses, and she said: "Their bones are almost all black, and only a small part is yellow. Maybe these people died of poisoning." "Could it be Miasma Mother..." Cai Minmin said in a low voice. Hao Dali couldn't stand it anymore, he shouted: "Damn it, don't talk about it, now it's up to Queen Grasshopper's boudoir, let her play dirty tricks to hurt people!" "Sister Yue, it's better not to go, so many people died here, I really can't go in front." Liang Xiaoyu begged. "We didn't eat vermilion fruit, we will die no matter where we go, why don't we just go ahead and have a look, maybe there really is a way to heaven." Huang Qianshan said indifferently.

Lao Yue comforted Liang Xiaoyu: "Don't worry, the air here is ventilated, and there will be no more miasma mothers. These people may have been poisoned in the cave." After Gu Changtian was disfigured, he seldom spoke. He stood by the ditch with his head down, and he probably saw that he was completely changed from the light of the water, so he stood in the corner without moving.Huang Qianshan reckoned that he should leave here and move forward, so he walked over to call Gu Changtian, but he was stunned as soon as he walked over.The canal draws a trickle in from the ground, but there is no moss in the canal at all, and the moss is a pointer to detect the surrounding environment.The trickle in the canal seems to have lasted for many years, even thousands of years. Although there is no light in the underground palace and the moss cannot grow, there must be fungi.

"Brother Gu, don't look at it, now that the technology is advanced, you can even look like Andy Lau after plastic surgery." Huang Qianshan suddenly said something. Gu Changtian smiled awkwardly, but his face became more ferocious, and he said, "I can't get out." "Changtian, let's go, we can definitely go out." Lao Yue encouraged. "Hush!" Cai Minmin shouted suddenly, "Listen!" The six people looked at me, and I looked at you. In addition to the occasional sound of water, there was a strange gurgling sound from the underground palace, just like the roar of a tiger.There was no place to hide in the underground palace, and the six people scanned around, but there was nothing but stone beasts, stone trees and other things.Huang Qianshan listened carefully, the grunt came from the front of the palace.In front of the underground palace is a dark red stone door, the stone door is ajar, as if someone will come out from the door in the next second.

"Could it be that the queen has been buried in the underground palace for thousands of years and is so hungry that she is so hungry?" Huang Qianshan was puzzled. "Could it be the sound of water, such as a waterfall or pool?" Cai Minmin asked anxiously. Lao Yue denied: "It doesn't look like it. If the sound of water can't come out suddenly, I'm afraid it's not that simple." "Whatever it is, I'm in so much pain that I don't want to stay here anymore, at least I want to occupy the queen's coffin!" Hao Da tried not to say anything.

Huang Qianshan didn't want to dawdle any longer, he was the first to walk towards the stone gate in front of the underground palace, and Lao Yue led the others to follow behind.When he was about to walk to the end of the palace, the Shimen suddenly moved. Huang Qianshan didn't move and stopped. As soon as he walked over, he pulled the Shimen open without hesitation.Lao Yue and others followed behind. When they saw the scene behind the underground palace, almost everyone was amazed. Lao Yue also quickly read out two words: Yao Chi! There is a large pool behind the stone gate, and there is a red stele beside the pool, on which is written the ancient golden inscription "Yao Chi".The so-called fairy ponds are dried up, and there is no water in them.There is a circle of red stones around the pool, and there are stone carved flowers and plants on the stones, and there are even stone carved fish turtles in the pool.With Yaochi as the center, there are magnificent high pavilions and halls all around, and they are attached to the steep stone walls, giving them an indescribable sense of deterrence.The buildings are completely different from the underground palaces. They are all made of gold tiles and red bricks, all of which are extremely luxurious materials. It is hard to imagine that a Western Zhou vassal state could be so capable.

The building is like a petrified forest, besides many stone trees, there are also birds perched on the stone trees and butterflies on the flowers.There are a few auspicious spirit beasts standing near and far by the pool, and the singing and dancing fairies shuttle among them. From a distance, everything seems to be alive.The most unbelievable thing is that the Queen Mother of the West hangs on the tallest building in a volley posture, and overlooks everything on the ground with a high posture. In Hao Dali's words, it seems that she thinks she is the most powerful person. "Is this really Yaochi?" Cai Minmin asked suspiciously.

"I think it's almost like a cesspool. Can the Yaochi have no water? Wait for me to urinate into it to moisten the Yaochi of the Grasshopper Queen." Hao Dali said disdainfully. Huang Qianshan stole another glance at Liang Xiaoyu, she couldn't sit still, she seemed to be flustered.Huang Qianshan walked down the stone steps. He couldn't see where to hide, so there must be no dangerous things around.The building is extremely steep. Except for nimble humans, beasts cannot climb it, and snakes are even more unable to climb it.After Huang Qianshan opened the stone door, the grunting stopped, and he couldn't help but wonder if he heard the voice of a ghost.

Cai Minmin walked suspiciously to the edge of the Yaochi. She looked at the two kneeling red stone statues and asked, "Look, these two kneeling...are they human?" When Lao Yue heard about it, she wanted to go over to have a look, but Liang Xiaoyu held her back, and immediately fainted.Huang Qianshan sneered, he knew that Liang Xiaoyu was playing tricks again, she obviously got better after taking the medicine, but no one would believe him if he exposed it at this time.Lao Yue has been walking around with her parents for a long time, and her heart is moved when she sees rare antiques. The things in her bones have long been the same as her parents.Gu Changtian and Hao Dali stayed to take care of Liang Xiaoyu, and Lao Yue immediately ran over to look at the kneeling figure beside the Yaochi.

Huang Qianshan bent down and tilted his head to look at the kneeling figure, but Lao Yue said, "It's definitely not a person. Look, there is a tail behind the stone statue." "It's a monkey, right?" Huang Qianshan said after standing upright, "Why are there two monkeys kneeling beside the fairy pond? Could it be that the queen of the ancient Guo Kingdom killed so many monkeys and made so many monkey bones? " "The sea of ​​evil she has done is gone, we have done her such a bad job, if I see her today, I will throw sulfuric acid on her face!" Cai Minmin said angrily.

"She is no longer a human if she can live to this day. I'm afraid she really became a god." Lao Yue said, "The origin of these two kneeling monkey statues is rarely known. They are sinners guarding Yaochi." "I've never heard of it, what kind of sinner wants to kneel by the Yaochi, could it be that he peeked at the Queen Mother taking a bath?" Huang Qianshan laughed out loud. "Mr. Huang, you..." Cai Minmin blushed, but hesitated to speak. Lao Yue stared blankly at Cai Minmin for a while, she said that the kneeling monkey statue was originally two immortals, a man and a woman, but afterward the two became so infatuated that they went to the fairyland for a private meeting.The Queen Mother of the West knew everything, so she demoted the pair of gods and couples to monkeys, guarding every flower, grass, water and fish in the fairyland.But they still don't know how to repent. Once they were lazy and didn't take a good look at the fairyland, a lion broke in and made the fairyland very muddy.The Queen Mother of the West was so angry that she turned the two monkeys into kneeling stone statues and became the sinners who would guard the fairyland forever. Huang Qianshan said in a flash: "It's true, the gods will also go to the Yaochi to take a bath with mandarin ducks. It seems that the thinking is quite advanced. But don't you say that few people know it, so where did you hear it?" Lao Yue said unhurriedly: "Several keel bones have been unearthed in Taihang Mountain, and they have been identified to have a history of 6,000 years. The above mentioned are all myths and legends, including the story of the sinner guarding Yaochi. Because Taihang The ancient history of Wangwu has always been a blank in historiography, so no one can tell the origin of those dragon bones. This kind of thing is naturally a national treasure, and ordinary people can't see it. How many national treasure-level antiques, let alone ordinary people, they don't even know that there are Those things. Thanks to my dad’s acquaintance with some people, he was able to see them once when they were unearthed, and he will never have a chance to see them again.” "Is it when I was ten years old, I made a fuss to follow, but my parents refused to let me go." Cai Minmin recalled. "It was that time." Lao Yue said with a light smile, "At that time, Dad also said that if the keel can be made public, it may prove that Monkey King's troubles in Tiangong, Yaochi, and Pantao Garden have their roots, and it is not a baseless fabrication. It's a pity Dad has only seen a quarter of the keel, and he doesn't know what the rest of the content says." "That's all the lies of the rulers in the ignorant age who turned people into monkeys and stones. She thought she was God." Huang Qianshan said with a snort, "I wonder why foreign gods are so Mercy, are the gods in our country so perverted?" "In Roman mythology, there are also stories of the gods fighting." Lao Yue corrected, "Your position is not firm." "Don't talk about being firm or not, the sinners guarding the Yaochi you mentioned seem a bit weird. Their eyes were gouged out." Huang Qianshan said to the kneeling monkey statue. "Really, their eyes are empty. Could it be that their eyes were originally gold or silver beads that were stolen by the first group of mountain people who broke in?" Cai Minmin wondered. Lao Yue walked up to the kneeling monkey statue and looked at it. She was puzzled at first, then surprised, and then said, "This...impossible...should be impossible." "Impossible?" Cai Minmin asked, staring at the kneeling monkey statue. "It's impossible that the eyes were gouged out. Since the first group of people broke in, how could they return empty-handed?" "No, they are going on the road of no return, look at the bottom of Yaochi..." Huang Qianshan stared blankly at Yao Chi, only then did he notice that many corpses had gathered in the shadows at the bottom of the pool, each of them was black in color, in stark contrast to the red bottom of the pool.Although the corpses in the underground palace are also black, they are still not as black as the corpses at the bottom of the Yaochi. The corpses at the bottom of the pool are as black as coal.Huang Qianshan inadvertently glanced at the kneeling monkey statues behind him again, and he found that although they were kneeling, their eyesless faces were facing the bottom of the pool, as if there was something at the bottom of the pool that they needed to guard. "Miss Lao, you are well-informed, but do you know what stones are red?" Huang Qianshan asked while staring at the blood-red bottom of the pool. "I know!" Cai Minmin rushed to answer, "Yes..." "My God, how is this possible!" Before Cai Minmin finished speaking, Lao Yue screamed. At this time, there was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the Yaochi, and a wisp of blue smoke faintly rising from the corpses, Huang Qianshan finally realized why the first batch of intruders died tragically in the Yaochi.
