Chapter 1305 Open
It was such an unlucky thing that the detectives of the dead city had just made some good progress, and the next step had just started, but Shen Hao had no time to wait by the side.
Two days later, even on the ground, the miasma could be felt to drop sharply again, and the feeling in the camp could even be said to be negligible. Shen Hao understood that it was time to enter the underground palace.
Early in the morning, just after eating a bowl of meat porridge and putting down the bowl, Jin Jianwei came in and reported that Great Elder Yang Ming had asked everyone to gather in front of the main tent, and they would officially enter the underground palace in the morning.
"Understood, I'll go there now."
After tidying up the cloak on his body, he looked at the reserves in the storage bag. There were a lot of things, and Shen Hao boasted that he could deal with most emergencies.
When it was time to go out, he summoned the three special guards who had been following him to talk to him, and said, "Although there are many reliances on going to the underground palace, it seems safe, but in fact, no one can tell whether there will be any accidents." The time between the three of you and me is not short, and we have fortune-telling friendship, so I am relieved to entrust some things to the three of you."
"My lord, if you have anything to do, please tell me! The three subordinates will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Very good. If I don't return this time, you will give these letters to the eldest lady, the second lady, and Miss Xia respectively. Also, hand these two letters to Wang Jian and Jiang Cheng. Remember, The letters must not be confused, and if something happens to me, I must not stay there, and I don’t believe anyone’s words, it’s safe to go straight back to Fengsun City. Do you understand?”
The three of them should be right. Even for the sake of safety, several letters were carried separately, and each of the three carried a few letters.
No one thinks that there is anything wrong with Shen Hao's doing this, and it's not hypocritical, especially after experiencing the battle with the barbarians, they will agree with Shen Hao's approach.
Knowing that the underground palace is extremely dangerous, no matter how thick the shelter is, it cannot guarantee that nothing will happen. Therefore, some precautionary measures should be kept first for contingency. At worst, it would be a waste of effort to retract the letter after being safe and sound, so what is it?
After patting the shoulders of the three of them, Shen Hao happily walked towards Yang Ming's big tent. By then, dozens of people had already gathered and stood there.
I spent most of my time in the tent before, and I didn’t ask specifically. I thought it was about the same number as the people in Guishan Seminary, but now I realized that there are so many people going to the underground palace. Counting himself, there are thirty-four people. There are a total of six monks in the realm.
Afterwards, Yang Ming came out to speak personally, and then the fourth elder, Cheng Canghai, checked the dead city orders in their hands one by one according to the list, and separated the people who entered the outer and core areas of the underground palace.
The team going to the outskirts of the underground palace was led by a sword guard of the Xuanhai realm, and the other 27 people were all disciples of the latter realm of the Yuandan realm. The remaining six people, that is, Shen Hao, First Elder Yang Ming, Fourth Elder Cheng Canghai, Fifth Elder Yue Chi, Sixth Elder Zhang Daosheng, and the last Sword Guard disciple of the Xuanhai Realm, will enter the core of the underground palace of the City of Death Area exploration.
"The underground palace is dangerous. I don't need to say more. You all know it in your heart. For your own life, remember not to leave the team at will, and don't touch anything inside at will, not even a stone. Don't take the initiative to provoke people from other sects. Don't get greedy, just leave when you have to, and never procrastinate."
Cheng Canghai's last stern warning also left an impression in Shen Hao's heart. He felt that he should also keep these rules in mind, so as not to make rash mistakes.
After the words were finished, even if the preparations were completed, a group of people walked out of the camp and headed towards a terrain surrounded by mountains not far ahead.
On the way, seeing the people of Guishan Seminary who had been waiting on the side early, Yang Ming smiled and greeted the other elders, and then the two teams merged into one and continued to move forward together.
After walking for about a stick of incense, more and more people met on the road, and soon gathered into a long dragon, and finally stopped in an open field in the middle of the terrain surrounded by mountains.
Looking around, it is probably not less than five miles around, it is very flat, so flat that it doesn't match the surrounding hills.
In the middle of this flat and open land, there is a strangely shaped stone gate, which is probably more than five feet high and two feet wide.
The solitary stone door has only a door frame but no door panel, and the middle is covered with a slightly orange shimmer, as if it is covered with a film.
The style of the stone gate is weird, not square, but with obvious width, and the top is not smooth, but the rough surface undulations seem to be somewhat regular, giving people a sense of familiarity. After a while, Shen Hao realized, The stone door looked like a huge spine, which was bent and inserted into the ground to form an arch.
Although it was the first time he saw it, Shen Hao understood that the door was the entrance to the underground palace, and as Yang Ming had told him before, there would be a teleportation when entering the underground palace, so it should also be referring to this door.
Compared with Fenghong Villa, the first to arrive were the people from Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong, as well as people from the first-class sects who were vassals around these two schools. After the arrival of Fenghong Villa and the sects that came one after another, all the people from the Jingjiu Dynasty will be there.
On the other side of the stone gate, there were more people standing than Jingjiuchao's side, and the robes on their bodies were not the mainstream style of Jingjiuchao, or even strangely dressed. These people are the ones who want to go to the underground palace in the city of vain death. The first and the largest three groups of people are the famous three leaders of the City of Death.
The one in the middle is black with red patterns, and the robe is similar to a warrior's robe, with a blood-red belt around the waist, and a pattern that looks like flames and drops of blood is embroidered on the chest. This is the person from the Blood Clothes Gate.
On the left is a group of scribes dressed in snow-white robes with no obvious decorations, only the cuffs and neckline have golden cloud patterns, and there are cloud-shaped jade pendants of various colors around their waists. They wear long swords or folding fans, and some even hold scrolls. These people are from the Longevity Gate.
The one on the right is even more conspicuous. Dozens of people actually carried coffins of different sizes on their backs. Some of the coffins were wrapped with iron chains, some were pasted with many unseen talismans, and some were even tied with bells and red threads. These people knew without asking that they were the most mysterious disciples of the Coffin Sect among the three leaders of the City of Death.
Shen Hao paid attention to Yang Ming who was walking in the forefront on his side, and found that after approaching the stone gate, Yang Ming cupped his hands in the direction of the opposite coffin sect, and the leader of the other party was a seven-foot tall but skinny man The old man also smiled and bowed his hands.
So Shen Hao thought to himself: It seems that the previous rumor that Jing Jiuchao had the best relationship with the disciples of the Coffin Sect is not groundless.
However, Shen Hao has always been curious about what is in the coffin behind the coffin sect. It is said that the people of the Coffin Sect refine corpses and even combine human corpses into one. It is mysterious enough just to hear about it, but what will it be like when it really comes out?
