Chapter 51: Underground Space

After hearing Chen Sheng's words, although everyone didn't believe it, Chen Sheng insisted on moving forward, so they had to follow.

After walking for about ten minutes, I saw the exit. The echoes that had been bothering everyone disappeared, and only the gurgling sounds of water were heard.

When you walk out of the passage, you will see a vast underground space, with subtle light in the space that you can barely see.

The stone walls and cave roofs in front are covered with stone flowers, stalagmites and stalactites, which are colorful and have different shapes. Under the faint light, there is a hazy beauty.

After coming out of the gloomy passage and seeing such a beautiful scene, all the women were lost in their minds.

"Master, there seems to be someone over there." Hu Niu suddenly said.

Looking in the direction Hu Niu pointed, there was an underground river ahead, about ten meters wide, and there was a white stone bridge on the river.

It seemed that there was a man standing on the bridge, waving in the direction of everyone, but the light was too dark and the distance was far, so it was not clear.

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Sheng couldn't see clearly, but he just felt that he was not a real person.

The road paved with bluestone at the foot was exactly the direction leading to the stone bridge, and Chen Sheng was still in front and the girls followed behind a distance.

I saw no traces of the trap along the way, and the more I went, the more I got, the more I got, the more I was moving, and the speed of the team was getting faster and faster. Soon I walked to the stone bridge.

The figure on the bridge was indeed not a real person, but a black statue, carving the image of an old woman. The posture was not what Chen Sheng thought he was waving, but handing the bowl to the visitor.

In front of the statue is a big pot, and the old woman holds a large spoon in her other hand to make a pose of serving soup.

"Old... Master, this is Meng Po, is this carving? Does this bridge symbolize the Naihe Bridge? Do we still have to walk forward?" Liu Ma asked in a low voice, as if she was afraid that the sound would be loud, which alarmed the statue on the bridge.

Chen Sheng looked across the bridge, looked back and smiled and said, "My Liu, don't be afraid, it's just some dead objects and will not move. Moreover, according to legend, after passing the Naihe Bridge, it is the underworld, but look at the front, it's colorful, and then look behind it, it's gloomy, which side is more terrifying?"

Chen Sheng said this to Liu Ma, and in fact he was also appeaseing the girls.

He became more and more curious about the so-called Xie family's old Ku. This kind of wonder of underground rivers was formed naturally and was beyond the reach of manpower. The cave wall behind him should have been covered with stone flowers and stalagmites, but now it is not. It should have been artificially cleared.

With such a large space, the project volume is quite large, and it seems that this is just for some symbolic meaning and has no practical effect at all.

No matter how you look at it, it is not something that the Xie family can do.

Moreover, the traces of traps in the passage were artificially broken, and the Xie family seemed to be more like discoverers and intruders.

When I think of the traps encountered in the channel, there seem to be a total of eighteen.

Combining the statue of Meng Po and Naihe Bridge in front of you, the eighteen traps should symbolize the eighteen levels of hell.

The change of light seems to be a metaphor for passing through the eighteen levels of hell and walking through the Naihe Bridge, you will see the light.

According to this idea, there should be a smooth road ahead and there is no danger.

Chen Sheng told everyone about his thoughts, which slightly alleviated the fear brought by everyone's deep-rooted superstitious thoughts.

The group crossed the stone bridge and continued to walk forward. The road under their feet also turned into white marble, which verified Chen Sheng's statement, and the women felt relieved.

Sure enough, I encountered no danger along the way, the light became more and more abundant, and the torches were no longer used.

There are many more plants emitting slightly yellow fluorescent on both sides of the stone road. They are not big in size, umbrella-shaped, dense, and covered with cave walls.

The stalactites and various crystalline ores on the wall shine with gorgeous colors under the reflection of plant fluorescence, and the scenery becomes strange and beautiful.

At the same time, the temperature gradually increased.

After walking forward for about four or five miles, Chen Sheng suddenly stopped.

"Master, what's wrong? Is there any danger?"

"No, come here." Chen Sheng said without looking back.

When the girls also turned around and came to Chen Sheng's position, they realized why he was lost and stopped.

In front of me was a long white stone staircase. At the end of the stone staircase was a palace built on a stone wall. Continuous water vapor evaporated from below. From a distance, the palace was like a towering cloud.

I don’t know how to arrange the top of the cave above. A ray of light shines on it and is falling on the main hall, making me feel more and more imaginative. I look at it as if I see the fairy palace in the clouds.

Such a magnificent scene appears in the dim underground space, and anyone who sees it will lose his mind.

"Go up and take a look."

Everyone climbed up the steps. The steps were very long, and the temperature here was much higher, so they sweated and reached the end.

When I came to the nearest part of the palace, I found that most of the continuous palaces were fake, but the rough outline of the pavilion was carved out on the stone wall and then colored it.

Only the main entrance of the main hall is open and can be entered.

When I entered the hall, the space was smaller than I thought, but I thought it was dug out on the wall of the cave, and it was not a small project.

The hall was very empty, with only a dozen large iron boxes placed in the middle, which was incompatible with the overall style of the building.

However, there are hundreds of fluorescent stones embedded on the top of the hall, which looks like stars at first glance, and it has a bit of a fairy sense.

Along the way, the more I get to the back, the more I feel like I am a slight start.

From the gloomy and strangeness of the long passage of the eighteen mechanisms, to the division of the Mengpo statue of Naihe Bridge and then to the magnificent and shocking immortal palace in the clouds.

I didn’t expect that the palace was like a good thing. There were more than a dozen large boxes in the only real hall, which felt like an unfinished building. Could it be that it was built to the end, there was no money, right?

Although it felt like such a big project, only these boxes were reduced in the end, after all, when it came to the treasure chest opening process, Chen Sheng was still very curious about what was inside.

After trying it, Chen Sheng opened all the boxes.

As a result, I was a little disappointed. The fourteen-piece box was empty, the eight-piece box was full of gold bars, and the two-piece box was some antique jade. The last bit was just a small wooden box.

Regardless of gold or antiques, Chen Sheng picked up the small wooden box and slightly scented, with a faint fragrance.

After opening it, there are two ancient books, titles of which are "The Treatise on the Five Elements and Five Internal Medicines" and "Detailed Study on Acupuncture and Moxibustion to Return to Yang".

After taking out the two ancient books, there was a brocade embroidered with small characters and pictures, and there was also a title called "The Secret Art of Exercising the Corpse to the Immortality".

Chen Sheng flipped it out casually. He couldn't recognize the traditional Chinese characters and guessed them, and probably understood what he was writing.

The five elements in "The Medical Treatise on the Five Elements and Five Internals" are not surprising. The theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements is often mentioned in medical science. The uniqueness of this book is that although it is called Medical Treatise, it is written about methods of how to destroy the five elements of the human body.

"Detailed Study on Acupuncture and Moxibustion" is a true name. It mainly has two major categories of acupuncture. One type talks about how to stimulate the vitality of the human body and make the dying person awake for a moment, which is probably a manual return to the light; the other type talks about how to keep a serious injury and dying person alive for a longer period of time.

"The Secret Technique of Exercising the Immortal" is in line with the two medical books, but it describes how to destroy the balance of the body's five elements through acupuncture, strengthen one's own spirit at the cost of damaging the body, so as to achieve the goal of transcending the body's constraints and turning into a rainbow and ascending.

The two volumes of medical skills are of no use to Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng is a little interested in the secret techniques on Jinbo.
