Chapter 862: Comprehensive Tomb World 7
When Luo Laowai and his several hundred men arrived, the sun was setting and only a little afterglow remained. Partridge Whistle persuaded them along the way and finally made them give up the plan to go down from the top of the mountain. This time they crossed the river and headed straight for the foot of the mountain.
Seeing a ruin in the afterglow of the sun, Partridge Whistle advised again: "There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants here. It's not good to go in after dark. If we make such a big noise, those people ahead may have met with an accident. Let's go in early tomorrow morning."
Fortunately, Luo Laowai's mind had become much clearer during the journey, and he did not insist on going in. However, he still looked at Chen Yulou to ask him for a decision.
Chen Yulou calmed down faster than Luo Laowai. After all, Chen Yulou had more men under his command than Luo Laowai. He ordered everyone, "Leave some people to clean up a place to set up camp. The others should go around to see how many people have entered. The rest should quickly start cooking."
Chen Yulou listened to the advice, and Queqiao Shao also breathed a sigh of relief. When everyone sat by the campfire and drank water, he analyzed: "There must not be many people coming, otherwise it would be difficult to hide their whereabouts in this place. What I am afraid of is that they are all experts and they don't know how to control their strength. They will just destroy everything as they go along."
Chen Yulou also thought of the group of people in Changsha who also worked in the fields. Although in his eyes those families in Changsha were not significant, they did have some real skills and sometimes they would send their wealth and goods to them to find a market.
Therefore, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh: "This world is really in chaos, and anyone dares to cross the line!"
This group of people tossed around for a long time at night before they calmed down a little, because the explosions during the day and the disturbance of the earth's energy scared out many snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding at the foot of the mountain. If Chen Yulou and his party had not made a lot of preparations in advance, I'm afraid many people would have died.
Jiang Xinxin and Zhang Jiuri in the mountains also got rid of the six-winged centipede and obtained a round inner elixir.
Sitting around the campfire, Jiang Xinxin played with the inner elixir of the six-winged centipede and said with emotion: "These anomalies exist in places with excellent feng shui. If there is human intervention, who knows what deadly things will be raised."
Zhang Jiuri finally understood what Jiang Xinxin meant by "abnormality" and said with a smile, "The top of the mountain might be the Xiangxi Corpse King that is said to be able to eat people. Why don't we go up tonight?"
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes at Zhang Jiuri in annoyance and said, "You know how powerful that corpse king is. The night is when the yin energy is at its peak. You want to go up and deliver the food, but don't say I didn't stop you."
Zhang Jiuri was playing a trick on him and said with a smile, "After we went to the ancient city of Sishui with the little ghost once before, we thought we were extremely capable. Today, you slaughtered this six-winged centipede, a strange species from heaven and earth. I was worried that your heart was surging and you were blinded."
Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but ask about the Sishui Ancient City: "What exactly is Sishui Ancient City? You've seen such a big change after your visit. When we briefly met before, I thought you were a little naive."
Zhang Jiuri smiled at first, then his eyes showed some reminiscence. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The ancient city of Sishui was originally a settlement of the Zhang family. Due to some changes, the clan urgently gave up the clan land and moved outside the Great Wall. Internally, that place is the same as the clan land outside the Great Wall, both are called Zhangjiabao, and externally it is called the ancient city of Sishui."
Jiang Xinxin nodded indifferently. She would visit that place sooner or later. Zhang Jiuri seemed to have discovered her secret interest in the ancient city of Sishui and warned her solemnly: "The things in the ancient city of Sishui are no worse than the six-winged centipede, and Zhangjiabao has always been heavily guarded. Even though it has been abandoned for hundreds of years, we still suffered a lot when we went down. If it weren't for the little ghost protecting us, I'm afraid..."
Speaking of the little ghost, Zhang Jiuri was still a little depressed, and just said casually: "Anyway, it is enough for you to know that the tribesmen deliberately flooded the entire Zhangjiabao before leaving, so as to prevent the alien species from coming out to harm people."
Jiang Xinxin readily asked about other things: "When we exchanged names, you didn't seem to be familiar with Xiao Gui. Later, after going through hardships together, do you know Xiao Gui's name?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiuri became even more annoyed, but when he thought of how Jiang Xinxin's ancestors were expelled from the Zhang family at some point, he patiently explained, "I don't really know where the little ghost came from. I guess Zhang Haike and Zhang Haixing don't know either. But after he succeeded as the clan leader, he was just called Zhang Qiling."
The name Zhang Qiling awakened many memories of Jiang Xinxin. It turned out that this Zhang family was actually that Zhang family!
Seeing that Zhang Jiuri was indeed thinking about Zhang Qiling, Jiang Xinxin asked, "Do you know the Yunding Palace in Changbai Mountain? If I remember correctly, it seems that someone in the Zhang family has to go there to guard something for generations. I will have to go to Changbai Mountain in the future. If you go with me, maybe you can find the whereabouts of the little ghost."
But Zhang Jiuri had never heard of this Yunding Palace. He carefully recalled the clan classics he had studied, and there was indeed no record of the Yunding Palace. Even Changbai Mountain was only mentioned in a Feng Shui booklet. After all, as the last dragon vein in the north, Changbai Mountain was quite special.
Jiang Xinxin had already decided to head straight to Changbai Mountain after leaving Pingshan. She didn't say much to Zhang Jiuri at the moment, but just took out the tent and sleeping bag as usual, packed up and prepared to rest.
Zhang Jiuri almost didn't sleep all night. Jiang Xinxin only mentioned Changbai Mountain and Yunding Palace, but he had a feeling that if he went there, he would definitely find Zhang Qiling's trace.
So Jiang Xinxin was awakened by the noise made by Chen Yulou and the others below, and heard Zhang Jiuri coming over and saying, "Let's go to Changbai Mountain!"
Jiang Xinxin took a moment to finally understand what Zhang Jiuri said, and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I was planning. After we get rid of the corpse king up there, we'll go directly to Changbai Mountain!"
The Xiangxi Corpse King had trained himself to be as strong as iron. Zhang Jiuri was helpless against this powerful and defensive Corpse King for a while. However, Jiang Xinxin had magical weapons and extraordinary kung fu. He simply slapped the Corpse King's indestructible body with a palm of thunder talisman, and then chopped off the Corpse King's head with a sword.
Zhang Jiuri stood up in a panic and said angrily, "What were you doing outside just now? I almost died here, do you know?"
Jiang Xinxin didn't say much, just pointed outside and asked Zhang Jiuri to go and see for himself.
When Zhang Jiuri went out, he saw the ground was covered with headless black and white apes and mutated monkeys. Only then did he realize that Jiang Xinxin had really met an opponent who was no less powerful than the Corpse King.
