I quickly pulled the fat man back and turned to look at Wen Jin. She and a boy were busy unpacking the equipment brought down from the rope ladder and did not notice the fat man's actions.

I asked the guy: What are you doing here? Aren't you going to take care of my third uncle?

He grinned and said, Third Master is taken care of. I'll come down to see if I can help.

Looking at his expression, I felt something was wrong, and I thought it was not good. These bastards are a bunch of rabble. What the rabble is best at is to scatter when there is danger, and rebel when there is benefit. This guy's expression seemed to be up to something.

Soon, three more people climbed down and looked at the huge circular tomb, with fire in their eyes. The third uncle had lied to them before leaving, telling them how fat and rich this place was. He was frightened all the way here, but as soon as he saw the tomb, he forgot everything. Although they were all novice thieves, tomb robbers are tomb robbers. The ancient tombs are even more greedy than us. Wen Jin climbed down from the rope ladder. When he saw this situation, he had a bad look on his face and said softly to me: Let them go. These people are all desperadoes. They are only superficially polite to 'your third uncle' and are rude. It’s just property, they all have weapons, and it would be very disadvantageous for us to fall out with them. Anyway, if you have something you can touch, just give it to them, and we can’t stop them now.”

I thought the same thing. The third uncle is unable to move now. Even if he can intimidate these people, there is nothing he can do now. I am a young third uncle. When I come to this group of people, I don’t have any sense of respect when I shout in my mouth. It is completely a joke. There is nothing I can do. Without them, thinking about the scenery in Changsha in the past, it was indeed all thanks to my third uncle.

I feel a little depressed, but we are controlled by others. I have a hunch that these people may ruin our big things.

The fat man was very sensitive to these and became nervous. He clenched the shotgun in his hand and winked at us, telling us to go faster and get rid of them.

There were so many dangers along the way, but in the end I found that the biggest threat came from my own people. This is really a great irony. Moreover, these people only want wealth. If they have a dark heart, they may even kill us. For them, they have never been rich in their lives, and any morality or virtue is nonsense. This is really a huge worry.

Menyouzong also brought equipment and came down the rope ladder. We ignored those people and started to move forward gropingly. The non-shaped corridor soon came to the end, and a cave appeared in front of us. There were stairs at the end of the corridor, which were built along the wall of the cave and spiraled down.

Mining lamps were not enough here. Uncle San and the others had a lot of spare equipment, so Fatty immediately set off flares.

Uncle San was equipped with several types of flares. Fatty used low-altitude flares, which are specially used in caves. They have a short range. The fireball exploded soon after flying into the darkness, and the cave was illuminated brightly. The fat man fired two more shots, illuminating the surrounding blind spots. This is a bit of a luxury, but we have never been so equipped with equipment. Anyway, it is at the last moment, so we don't use it in vain.

The fat man dropped the bullet case and wanted to load another round. Wen Jin held him down and said, No matter how rich you are, this is not what you use it to do. Moreover, it is already bright enough. If it is brighter, we will not be able to see. We may burn out our eyes. .”

The fat man then gave up. We waited until the flashiest stage passed, the light shrank, and the surrounding situation became clear.

This is indeed the deepest place under the city of Tamutuo. The cave is not naturally formed, but was dug out. It is very high above. You can’t see the top of the cave clearly, but you can see the surroundings of the cave. Just like the seats in a stadium, they have been built into levels. Each level is covered with black and bloated statues. They are densely packed, circle after circle, and no one is empty.

Because these statues are black, the details are still unclear. I feel like I have never seen them here before. Are they secret statues, or totems unique to the royal family that outsiders cannot see or possess?

I thought of the Corpse Pavilion in Yunding Tiangong, which has the same layout, and I felt that these statues might not be made of stone.

It may be a specially treated body. This may be the corpse cave of the royal family. The lower-status royal family was buried here to dry naturally in the shade.

The flare fell lower and lower, and there were traces of artificial activities underneath. I saw a stone disk at the bottom, surrounded by dozens of strangely shaped bronze vessels of different sizes. Everything was very round. Looking at the four-walled mountain rocks, there is no obvious place to continue moving forward. Indeed, we have reached the end of the road, and all the clues should be solved at this place.

The fat man was amazed. He couldn't tell how deep it was. The Queen Mother Clan might as well be called the Mole Clan. They really liked digging holes. What was the purpose of digging such a deep place under the imperial city? Woolen cloth?

Wen Jin said: This may be the holy land of the Queen Mother Kingdom, a place where the royal family of the Queen Mother of the West conducts secret activities. They may hold some extremely secret rituals here, or conduct some kind of religious practice.

The fat man said: Fuck, this holy land is so shabby. It's really disappointing. These queens are also careless. What are these bronzes? And these stone carvings are... Oh my god! Xiao Wu , look at what these stone sculptures are!”

The fat man was startled, and I startled him. At this time, the flare fell to the ground and was still burning, but the illumination range had been greatly reduced. I raised the miner's lamp to shine it. When I took a closer look, I almost screamed. It turned out that these stone carvings surrounding the cave wall were not stone carvings at all, but rows of royal figurines!

I couldn't help but suck in the cold air, and the memories of Qixing Lu Palace came out like a tide. At the same time, Mendong Zong also let out a groan, obviously being greatly stimulated, and his brows were furrowed.

Sure enough, these points are all connected. There are so many jade figurines here. Is there a living corpse inside each one?

The fat man was so courageous that he immediately grabbed the wall and lay down on a staircase. I was afraid that he would get into trouble, so I grabbed him and told him that he didn't need to exert any effort to go down to see the bottom floor.

We gathered our minds and quickly went down the stone steps. When we reached the last step, the fat man jumped up and came to a jade figurine. When he shined a light with a miner's lamp, he revealed that the corpse inside was a completely dried mummy, because The gaps are too small to see the details. If you look at them one by one, there are them inside every jade figurine.

It seems that the eldest sister is right. This may really be the place where they practice. Fatty said, Damn it, are these dry things the immortals under the Queen Mother of the West in Chinese mythology? This is also true. It’s too far off.”

But these jade figurines are a little different from those in the Lu Palace. I said, The corpses in the jade figurines in the Lu Palace are still alive. These seem to have become mummies.

That's because of time. This cave should have been dug when the Western Queen Mother Kingdom was at its peak. That should have been five thousand years ago. After such a long time, anything with moisture has been dried.

The fat man touched the black shell of the jade figurine with his hand. Mingyouqing grabbed his hand and told him to be careful. I said, It's better not to touch this thing. Didn't the little brother say at the time that if the time is not right, the jade figurine will come out of its shell? It will be no small matter later.”

The fat man said depressedly: I just want to touch it, let me keep some memories, okay?

I said don't forget about the pain as soon as you feel better. It's useless even if you talk about it in your heart, so just ignore him. Wen Jin on the side was already attracted by other things and walked towards a place full of bronze vessels.

I followed them and was surprised to find that these bronze vessels were huge. They were taller than me when I stood below them. They were also shaped so strangely that I couldn't even name any of them. However, each bronze vessel obviously has its own purpose. I saw the astonishing decay on it and the obvious traces of use. It is obvious that this is not a place for display. If this cave was a place used by the Xiwang mother clan to practice or perform religious rituals, then these things should also be related to cultivation and religious rituals.

At this time, Wen Jin murmured: Oh my God, this is the alchemy room of Queen Mother of the West, and it actually exists.
