Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

Page 238

After a slight pause, he immediately realized the problem and quickly apologized to Li Xiaohu, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiaohu."

"It was Mr. Chen who was too impatient. Please forgive him."

After saying that, he felt a pang of regret.

The fact that the Unloading Ridge bandits were able to reach this legendary Insect Valley is all thanks to Li Xiaohu, isn't it?

Would they have made it this far without Li Xiaohu?

Wasn't it Li Xiaohu who was guiding them the whole way?

But now he is questioning Li Xiaohu.

They're being rather ungrateful.

Chen Yulou's brothers, including Hua Maguai, also apologized to Li Xiaohu.

Even the girl next to Li Xiaohu tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing this, Li Xiaohu couldn't keep up a bad attitude. He nodded lightly and said, "Let the brothers spread out and search."

"Try to avoid getting too close to the Insect Valley."

Chen Yulou immediately ordered his men to disperse and search for clues.

After giving his instructions, Li Xiaohu glanced down at the large, fiery red gourd beside him.

He knew that the entrance to the secret passage through the Insect Valley was beneath this giant gourd.

But they want to open the entrance to the secret passage.

We still need to find that "toad" mark and solve the mechanism.

The rest of the people stayed where they were and rested.

Chen Yulou remained seated.

Although he no longer talked about it, he was still anxious and would look around from time to time, hoping that one of the brothers would bring back some good news.

Fortunately, things went as planned.

Soon.

Then came Hua Maguai's joyful shouts from ahead.

"Always in charge!"

"The giant toad is right here!"

Chen Yulou was overjoyed!

He jumped up from the ground and beckoned Li Xiaohu and the others to head towards Huamaguai.

Li Xiaohu followed Chen Yulou to a slope.

They saw Hua Maguai leading several brothers to clear the dense vegetation on a cliff face.

After cutting down many vines and moss.

A wooden door embedded in the mountainside was revealed.

Chen Yulou went up and took a closer look, and realized that it was a wooden door of a temple. He quickly called the other brothers to come forward and help.

Soon, all the plants around the wooden door were cleared away.

The front of the dilapidated temple was revealed.

The temple is embedded in the mountainside, with only the front visible, and it is entirely constructed of wood.

However, most of them have been corroded beyond recognition. Many of the beams and pillars have collapsed, and even the two wooden doors are reduced to half, with only a faint outline visible.

However, the period of restraint during the reign of King Xian is more than a thousand years past.

It is truly remarkable that this temple has been preserved in this way in this damp valley.

It seems those insect-severing channels were indeed somewhat effective.

Li Xiaohu quickly examined the feng shui of the place and compared it with his memory.

Upon confirming that this was indeed the temple containing the activation mechanism, a smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"This place is auspicious for gathering and retaining energy, and it is a feng shui spot with a winding corridor facing the mountain bank to enhance the feng shui momentum!"

"It should be right here."

Upon hearing that he had found the right place, Chen Yulou couldn't wait to push open the door and enter.

To everyone's surprise, the wooden doors of the temple were already rotten beyond recognition.

With a gentle push from Chen Yulou, it collapsed instantly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Fortunately, they were all rotten pieces of wood, and only a few hit Chen Yulou, so they didn't hurt him much.

Chen Yulou fanned the dust off his face and continued forward.

Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly and followed Partridge Whistle and the others inside.

The group entered the temple, each holding a searchlight.

The small temple suddenly became crowded.

Chen Yulou instructed the rest of the men to wait outside, leaving only a few brothers to carry lanterns.

This makes it easier for everyone to observe.

The main hall of the temple is not large and has very few furnishings.

There is only one raised altar in the very center, on which is enshrined a strange clay statue of a god from Moyang.

Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou went forward to take a look.

It was discovered that the clay statue of the deity had a cold and dignified face, and that a special paint had been used to blacken its face.

None of them had ever seen such a "deity statue".

They used their intuitive understanding to call him "Black-faced God".

The black-faced god narrowed his eyes slightly, his left and right hands forming a very strange hand seal, and his body was covered in a strange scale armor.

Besides.

On either side of the black-faced god stood a clay statue of a little devil.

Both little devils had terrifying appearances with blue faces and fangs.

the difference is.

The little imp on the left was holding a bright red gourd, which looked incredibly vibrant and was exactly the same as the bright red gourd outside the door. It also seemed to be made of ochre.

The little imp on the right is holding a toad that is even bigger than its own body.

The toad that Hua Maguai saw earlier was this one.

Chen Yulou was overjoyed and reached out to touch the giant toad.

He believes that the secret passage leading to the Minglou Pavilion of the Tomb of King Xian is located in this temple, and that this toad is the mechanism to open the secret passage!

Unexpectedly.

Chen Yulou fiddled with it for a long time, but couldn't get the toad to move an inch.

Seeing this, Li Xiaohu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't move."

"This is not a trap."

After saying that, he turned and peered behind the altar, where there was another inner hall.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou smiled sullenly and followed Li Xiaohu to the back hall.

The back room is even smaller.

At the junction with the main hall, there is a green stone screen, but it is not painted.

It is probably a stone made of a special material.

Stone screens have very few patterns or decorations.

There was only one black-faced god statue, exactly the same as the one in the main hall.

There was nothing else besides that.

Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou merely glanced at it indifferently, showing no interest.

The group walked around the stone screen.

The first thing that catches your eye.

It is the nine toad stone statues lined up in a row at the very back of the hall.

Chen Yulou's eyes lit up instantly!

he knows.
