"Who is it?" Young Master Partridge's first reaction was that someone was playing tricks. He turned over and immediately shined the flashlight in his hand towards the corner where the sound came from.
There was nothing in the corner, and the laughter stopped.
With a "hoo" sound, the light in the hall brightened, and the six-legged unicorn beast under the cauldron spurted six pillars of fire from its mouth.
The black surface of the giant cauldron should have a very low ignition point. When it encounters a fire source, the entire cauldron burns violently, and the surrounding area becomes hot instantly.
The corpse wrapped in fat inside the tripod also began to melt rapidly, and a strong smell of flesh refining quickly spread, making it nauseating.
The giggles sounded again, and this time everyone heard the sound coming from above.
When I looked up, I saw a woman in red with a long robe and large sleeves hanging on the upper right side. Looking from below, I could only see half of her clothes.
There was nothing inside the clothes, and no body was seen. I don’t know if it was covered by the long clothes, or if it was just an empty piece of clothing.
Lin Ruoyan didn't know what happened to other people, but his heart stopped for a moment anyway.
Calm yourself down, there are so many people around you, don’t be afraid.
She took out a strong flashlight from the space and shined it upward.
The collar of the blood-red clothes stood up high, and there was a human head with long hair hanging on it.
The female corpse didn’t know if she noticed that Lin Ruoyan’s light was shining on her face. Her head shook slightly and turned towards her. Her face was heavily made up and she was giggling. .
Lin Ruoyan almost lost her grip on the flashlight. The light shook and the woman's sinister smile disappeared into the darkness again.
"Look guys, the fat man will treat you to black donkey hooves today." The fat man took out the black donkey hooves from his bag and threw it towards the head.
There was just a snap, and in the darkness, the black donkey's hoof didn't know whether it hit the head or not, and fell down again from above.
"Don't worry about whether it's a ghost or not. We have to leave here immediately." Young Master Partridge said calmly.
"The main body of this palace is made of nanmu and bricks. If the wood on it is roasted by the fire for a long time, it may not be able to support it. If you don't leave, you will be trapped and die inside."
Several people immediately turned around and were about to run to the corridor connecting the front hall, but they didn't know when they were about to step out of the back hall.
Zhang Qiling stepped forward, drew his knife, and stopped the fat man at the front.
"Brother, what are you..." The fat man was confused.
As soon as he finished speaking, the short corridor collapsed. If the fat man who ran out first was not stopped, he would probably be crushed underneath.
Before the fat man had time to rejoice, he heard another rumble on the wall of the palace. Several people turned around and saw that there was a big hole in one of the walls of the palace.It's the dragon's head on the throne in the front hall.
No wonder the mercury dragon on the throne does not have a dragon head. It turns out that it is not only connected to the mural, but can also pass through this wall to the apse.
The faucet that passed through the wall opened its mouth wide, and a large amount of mercury spurted out from it. When it fell to the ground, it was instantly covered with large and small mercury beads.
"The top is made of nanmu and glazed tiles. Go up."
The exit was sealed, the fire was burning in the hall and mercury was constantly spraying out, Young Master Partridge said.
He looked around and saw that the tallest stone tablet in the palace was under the red-clothed head.
However, I don’t care about that much anymore, come and kill ghosts.
Partridge took a few steps to reach the top of the highest stone monument. He pulled the tendons behind him, and a mountain-climbing hook popped out of the armor groove on his waist and hung on the top. Phoebe keel.
He climbed the rope like a gecko and climbed directly to the top of the nanmu.

Put down the hundred sub-hook, take out a rope and tie it to the keel, and put it down as well.
When Young Master Partridge finished all this, the three flying tiger claws that Lin Ruoyan took out had already been thrown onto the main beam of the hall.
Just when it was hung up, three animal heads protruded from the other three walls. They were also spitting out mercury, and the ground was about to be covered with mercury.
A few people couldn't care less, and each of them grabbed the five ropes one by one and climbed up.
The two sticks thrown down by Partridge Master were Sydney Yang and Fatty. Partridge Master also helped to lift his body up so that they could go up quickly.
Zhang Qiling and Lin Ruoyan were much faster, and only Hu Bayi fell to the end.
The fire on the cauldron has dimmed because there is no more anything to burn.
The mercury on the ground was roasted by this temperature, emitting a pungent smell of mercury. Fortunately, the time was shorter and it was not fatal.
After Lin Ruoyan went up, he and Xue Liyang opened a big hole in the roof of the temple after a few attempts with the climbing stick.
Fresh air and sunlight also slanted in, and happened to shine on a corner of the red coat near the main beam.
The one closest to Hu Bayi who was climbing up was a bloody woman’s head. The head was hanging downwards, with messy black hair covering her face, and only a thin slit in the middle was exposed.
From this upward angle, Hu Bayi could just see the face of the head. He saw that the face was covered with a thick layer of white powder, and two large patches of red rouge were applied between the two cheeks. , the blood-red mouth was tightly closed.
There is a rope hanging behind the head, and there are empty clothes underneath.
"Old Hu, stop looking. There are many more hanging like this here. Come up quickly."
Hu Bayi then looked around and found that it was indeedThere are many more than a dozen sets of exotic clothes of various colors around.
He took out a lighter and was about to burn the man in red at hand, when he heard the man's head suddenly let out another wave of sinister laughter.
Although Hu Bayi was guarded against the head, he was still startled. With a shake of his hand, he slipped a large section of the rope. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grasped the rope tightly. Didn't fall into the mercury.
At the moment of falling, an idea suddenly appeared in Hu Bayi's mind.
There are many weird things in the back hall of the Heavenly Palace. The mercury mechanism suddenly appeared. Although the exit is blocked, one can easily escape from the top of the hall without using explosives.
If it is to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers, what is the point of setting up this mercury mechanism to allow people to escape easily?
Could it be that the mercury mechanism was used to hide a secret in the apse?
Hu Bayi's rope was pulled up by the fat guys above, but his mind was running at high speed.
What's the secret? If so where is it? There shouldn't be any in the copper tripod, otherwise everything would be gone once it's boiled.
In mid-air, the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Bagua became more and more prominent. One of the walls was particularly obvious. It was a crack in the tripod lid that was kicked off by the younger brother.
That wall was painted with various sacrificial rituals of the ancient Dian Kingdom. It was after this wall was hit by the tripod lid that a series of mechanisms began to activate.
There should be something important hidden in this wall. Once it is destroyed by external force, the mechanism in the palace will be triggered immediately.
And this thing is also very important to King Xian. He doesn’t use it as a mechanism to kill him just so that he can take it out in the future.
Since it is so important, why didn’t King Xian take it to his coffin instead of hiding it on the top of the Ming Tower?
Take that thing out before the mercury gradually fills the cracks in that wall.
Hu Bayi didn't think too much, but at that moment, based on Captain Jin's intuition, he felt that there must be something important hidden in this wall.
