If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 197 Queen Jingjue is alive...

"Lao Hu, then... what is that..."

Suddenly, the fat man exclaimed.

On the top of the cave wall, two terrifying monsters suddenly appeared. They looked a bit like skinned humans and a bit like lizards.

In Ding Xiu's eyes, he is more like the licker in Resident Evil.

"Bang bang bang..."

It was still Shirley Yang Lisuo, who said nothing but fired a few shots first.

As a result, one of them was hit, and the pain caused the monster to let out a strange roar, and then fell into the underground river with a "plop".

The other one's speed and reaction were extremely fast, and it even avoided the gunfire, stretched out its long tongue and rushed towards Shirley Yang along the wall of the cave.

This monster's climbing ability is quite amazing, just like a spider. Whether it is the cave roof or the surrounding cave walls, it is as if they are walking on flat ground.

"Lao Hu, what kind of monster is this!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The fat man fired several times and finally hit the monster, but he didn't kill it. He only wounded the monster. The blood dripping on the ground was a strange dark green color.

"Oh my god, this... this must be an alien creature..."

Sa Di Peng exclaimed.

This time, even Hao Aiguo did not refute, because the previous strange snake and this kind of monster were far beyond his knowledge. Could it be that it really came from aliens?

"Susususu..."

At this time, a dense rustling sound came from the cave.

"Your uncle's..."

Hu Bayi looked up and couldn't help but cursed.

Because, a large group of monsters crawled out of the cave.

At this time, Ding Xiu took action.

Instead of using a gun, he picked up some gravel from the ground and threw it.

This was much more powerful than the guns in the hands of Fatty, Hu Bayi, and Shirley Yang. When they were scattered, several monsters were shot down on the spot and fell into the dark river.

"boom!"

Next, Ding Xiu kicked out, and a ball of gravel and sand flew out, knocking down a few more.

Professor Chen and others were stunned.

"Bang bang bang..."

Fatty, Hu Bayi, and Shirley Yang also began to take turns shooting.

During this period, several monsters jumped down and rushed over from the ground.

However, in the blink of an eye, he was hit with a stone by Ding Xiu, leaving him bloody and bloody.

It didn't take long for those monsters to die and escape, and the scene finally returned to calm.

"Too fierce, too fierce..."

The fat man looked at Ding Xiu with an expression of admiration.

If he was just convinced before, now he is not just convinced, but worshiped.

"Okay, it's okay. Let's take a rest."

Ding Xiu smiled and said to everyone.

When he was almost done resting, Ding Xiu said, "Okay, let's rest where we are. Lao Hu, let's go ahead and explore the road together."

"Okay!" Hu Ba nodded.

This time, Shirley Yang and Fatty were not in a hurry to go. After all, they had just experienced a thrilling experience. If they all left, it would be very dangerous for Professor Chen and his party to be left alone.

Therefore, they have to stay to protect Professor Chen and others.

There is a secret door on the opposite side of the underground river. After opening the mechanism, there is a long passage.

There is also a mechanism in the passage, but with Ding Xiu there, these mechanisms are not threatening at all.

After walking through the passage, what appears in front of you is a huge cave, or in other words, an underground valley.

There are obvious man-made traces here. There is a stone bridge in front of the two people, but it is a broken bridge. Judging from the traces, it is obviously deliberately destroyed.

Hu Bayi couldn't help but take a photo with his flashlight...

The whole person's eyes feel dazzled.

Below, there are all ivory, jade, gold coins and various kinds of jewelry, piles like small mountains.

"Oh my God, if Fatty sees this, he will go crazy with joy, right?"

Hu Bayi couldn't help but exclaimed.

He didn't need to pretend in front of Ding Xiu, after all, Ding Xiu already knew his and Fatty's identities.

Ding Xiu smiled: "I guess all the treasures of Jingjue Kingdom are here."

"Well, it should be..."

Soon after, the two turned back and informed Professor Chen and others to enter the passage together.

Sure enough, when he came to the Duan Tou Bridge and saw piles of jewelry, the fat man was so excited that his face turned red and his eyes sparkled...

"Don't be stunned, everyone, get down quickly."

Once below, the first step was a pile of gold coins, the next step was a string of pearls, and the next step was a delicate jade...

The fat man lay on a pile of gold coins with a happy face and said: "Old Hu, am I dreaming? I have dreamed of such a scene in my dream. I am lying on a mountain of gold and silver..."

As a result, Hu Bayi poured cold water on him: "You can just lie down. These things are cultural relics, national cultural relics."

He was actually reminding Fatty not to act recklessly.

It's not that Hu Bayi is very serious, but Professor Chen and others are here to keep an eye on him. Is he afraid that if the fat man can't control himself, he will be caught and embarrassed?
Ding Xiu glanced at Fatty Wang, then shined his flashlight to the other side and said, "Old Hu, there seems to be some movement over there?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, Professor Chen and others all looked over.

The fat man also glanced subconsciously, but then he seemed to come to his senses again. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately grabbed a handful of gold coins...

"Where is it, where is it?"

After quickly hiding the gold coins, this guy pretended to be shouting and walked up to Ding Xiu and asked.

"There seems to be a movement..."

"Yes, please stop talking now. Listen, there seems to be a whining sound?"

Sure enough, the group listened quietly for a while, and sure enough, there was a faint whining sound.

"Come on, let's go and have a look."

The group continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, I finally found the source of the sound...

"Oh my god, how come there is such a big hole in this mountain?"

"What a miracle, what a miracle. I didn't expect such a big sinkhole to appear in the middle of the mountain."

Professor Chen looked excited: "This must be the legendary ghost cave..."

Tiankeng is a wonder of nature, just like someone dug a big hole in the ground, full of mystery.

Some large sinkholes can reach hundreds of meters in diameter and depth.

However, all the tiankeng discovered in the world are in the wild, but the tiankeng in front of us appears in the middle of the mountain, which is unique in the world.

It is about more than 100 meters in diameter, and its four walls are like a huge barrel.

The "wuwuwu" sound came from the ghost cave, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, which was extremely scary.

"This must be the holy land guarded by the Jingjue Kingdom. The reason why they call themselves the Ghost Cave Clan is probably because of this ghost cave..."

Chu Jian stood on the edge of the ghost cave, his legs felt weak.

However, I still had the courage to shine a flashlight on it. It was deep and dark below, and the light of the flashlight couldn't shine far at all, like a bottomless abyss.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but scan it with his consciousness, and was surprised to find that his consciousness couldn't scan it to the end.To be precise, there was a mysterious force, like turbulence in space, that sucked his consciousness into it.

It seems that this ghost cave is indeed not simple. Maybe it is really a space passage. I don't know what kind of world is on the other side.

It shouldn't be a legend that Queen Jingjue can make people disappear out of thin air.

Perhaps, she has mastered the power of the ghost cave and can use her eyes to send people into the ghost cave and teleport to another space.

"Look, there is a bridge over the ghost cave..."

Ye Yixin suddenly raised her hand and pointed, exclaiming.

"It really is……"

"Strange, why is there a bridge?"

"Let's go and have a look."

So, a group of people walked slowly along the plank road on the edge of the cave wall.

Fatty has always been afraid of heights, but for some reason, he became much more courageous after coming here. Although he was still a little afraid, there was a high spirit in his heart that supported him.

As I got closer, I realized that it was not a bridge, but a large hanging rock.

The big stone looked like it was naturally formed. It protruded abruptly from the side of the ghost cave, like a stalagmite growing horizontally and hanging over the ghost cave.

"Huh? It's strange, why is there a big piece of wood on top of that big rock?" The fat man couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Hu Bayi said: "I speculate that it is probably a Kunlun sacred tree."

"Kunlun sacred tree?"

"Yes, my grandfather once said that the best material for a coffin is the bark of the Yin Shen wood, but there is another legendary divine material, and that is the Kunlun sacred tree.

According to legend, even if there is only one section of the Kunlun sacred tree, it will not dry up without soil, water and sunlight. "

"Is there such a magical wood in the world?" Chu Jian couldn't help but ask.

Hu Bayi smiled: "What's even more amazing is that if the corpse is placed in the Kunlun Sacred Tree, it can be immortal for thousands of years..."

The fat man couldn't help but said: "Then, Lao Hu, you mean to say that this big piece of wood is the Kunlun sacred tree? Is it a coffin?"

"should be!"

"Then...then Queen Jingjue...isn't she also lying in there?"

This sentence suddenly made Professor Chen and his party excited.

Because they had not discovered the tomb of Queen Jingjue before. Normally, as a queen, her tomb must be very luxurious. After all, there are so many burial objects.

But now it seems... they may have guessed wrong.

No one would have thought that Queen Jingjue would be buried on the big stone above this ghost cave.

Ding Xiu said: "You guys stay here, I'll go over and take a look."

"Old Ding, I'll go with you." Hu Bayi said proactively.

"Okay, let's go."

"Hey, I..." Fatty opened his mouth and wanted to follow him, but Hu Bayi said, "Fatty, stay here."

First, he knew that Fatty was afraid of heights, and the stone hanging above the ghost cave looked even more terrifying.

Secondly, Fatty likes to touch and move around when he has nothing to do, so don't cause any trouble.

Soon, Ding Xiu led the way and walked onto the hanging stone together with Hu Bayi.

"Corpse-scented konjac... There is actually a legendary corpse-scented konjac here..." Hu Bayi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What? Can taro grow in here?" The fat man looked surprised.

Professor Chen murmured: "I didn't expect that there really is such a thing as corpse-scented konjac in the world. According to legend, this corpse-scented konjac only grows in ancient tombs. It can prevent corpses from decaying and can also make corpses emit... A strange fragrance.

Kunlun sacred tree, corpse-scented konjac...it seems that this must be Queen Jingjue..."

On the other side, Ding Xiu suddenly chanted a poem loudly:
"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.

To others, it is said that it is vast and overwhelming.The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting..."

He is not a poet, but to prevent Hu Bayi and others from falling into illusion.

In the eyes of others, this corpse-scented konjac is just a magical flower, and its blooms are particularly charming.

However, in Ding Xiu's eyes, this corpse-scented konjac plant has already taken shape. Its fragrance and the pollen scattered in the air can make people fall into a fantasy without even realizing it.

The most frightening thing is that this illusion is so real that people can't even tell whether it is an illusion or reality.

In the original plot, Hu Bayi and his party fell into a fantasy world, and a series of tragedies occurred...

As soon as the righteous song echoed, Hu Bayi, Professor Chen and others were immediately refreshed.

But the next moment, a thrilling scene happened.

Countless roots suddenly sprouted out of the coffin, rushing towards Ding Xiu and Hu Bayi like a wave.

"Old Ding, Old Hu, be careful!"

Hu Bayi immediately waved his shovel and began to chop at the incoming roots.

At this time, Ding Xiu rushed forward and grabbed the corpse-scented konjac plant.

In fact, the corpse-scented konjac plant grew very strong, but after being grabbed by Ding Xiu, it was easily uprooted.

"boom!"

Then, Ding Xiu threw it up and punched it out. An invisible fist smashed the entire corpse-scented konjac plant into pieces, and then it fell towards the bottom of the ghost cave.

This scene made Hu Bayi look dumbfounded.

The same goes for Fatty and others.

After a while, until all the dust completely disappeared, Ding Xiu said to Hu Ba: "Okay, this thing has completely disappeared."

However, Hu Bayi ignored him and looked behind Ding Xiu in shock...

Because, the corpse lying in the Kunlun sacred tree slowly stood up.

No, not standing, but slowly floating out of thin air, and then slowly standing again.

Judging from her attire, she does indeed look like the Queen of Essence, but she wears a mask on her face, but there are two holes for her eyes. Behind the mask, you can see a pair of eyes as deep as the stars.

"Lao Hu, don't look into her eyes!"

Although Ding Xiu had his back turned, his consciousness had already covered the surrounding area, so the movements behind him could not be hidden from him.

Moreover, he had long sensed that the most dangerous thing here was not the corpse-scented konjac, but the person lying in the Kunlun sacred tree.

It’s not right to call it a human being. It should be said that it’s a demon!

Queen Jingjue is indeed dead, but she already had magical abilities during her lifetime, and she was protected by the Kunlun Sacred Tree and Corpse Fragrance Amorphophallus. After more than 2000 years, she has successfully cultivated.

"%￥@*%......"

A strange sound came from her mouth.

It's like a spell, or it's a magic word, but I can't understand it.

"Lao Hu, hurry back and let me come."

Ding Xiu said something to Hu Bayi.

"But……"

"She is not a big boy, she is a demon, a demon who has been practicing for more than 2000 years..."

"who are you?"

Unexpectedly, Queen Jingjue suddenly changed her tone, glanced at Ding Xiu, and spoke in a language that both Ding Xiu and Hu Bayi could understand.

Although the accent is very strange, it should be the ancient Central Plains dialect, but it belongs to the same language family, so I can barely understand it.

This time, Hu Bayi was even more shocked.

He has seen Da Zongzi, but he has never seen Da Zongzi who can still speak.
