The more Chen Pi Asi thought about it, the more horrified he became. However, this man was already in his late fifties and sixties at that time. His experience and courage were naturally beyond my comparison. After being frightened, he must have focused his mind and thought to himself, "What are you looking at, you idiot?" He took out his hand as fast as lightning. With a few iron marbles, he used both feet to stabilize his body, and then two of them hit the statue of an Arhat with its white face facing the sky.

As mentioned before, Chen Pi's philosophy is to strike first and gain the upper hand. My grandfather has said this to me more than once. It can be said that this principle is the simplest but also very practical. The two iron bullets had no force left behind, and they heard two muffled sounds, hitting the white-faced Arhat statue directly in the eyes. The two eye sockets of the Arhat statue were completely split open by the direct hit. The iron bullets flew out and fell into the bottom of Jing'er Palace.

If it were a human being, he would be beaten blind, which shows how vicious this hand is. Although the Arhat statue is a clay sculpture, it cannot withstand such an impact. At this moment, the place where the Arhat's eyes turned into two deep pits, which looked very empty and strange, but it felt much better than before.

Chen Pi's Si breathed a sigh of relief and sneered in his heart, thinking that these stinky monks are doing nothing, why are they just here doing the same tricks to scare people? I thought about taking out a gecko claw from my arms, hooking one end to the curved wooden roof of the palace above, and binding the other end to the ankle with a single-strand rope made of connected walrus skin, loosening it down, with the elastic walrus skin The rope stretches downward. The use of walrus leather rope was summarized by Chen Pi'a Si's many years of tomb robbing experience. The strength of this thing is second only to the steel rope, but it can be stretched. In addition, Chen Pi'a Si is short and lean, and it can be wrapped around the waist in only a dozen times. , it won’t be visible at all when you put on clothes, and it can be used to deal with a depth of about ten meters.

However, the "Mirror Palace" is still more than ten meters deep. Chen Pi'asi lowered the rope to the limit, but it was still a long way from the bottom of the palace.

But looking from here, you can already see the outline of what's underneath. The base of the palace bottom seems to be made of white marble. There are many unknown fragments on it due to earthquakes and natural peeling over the years. In the center of the palace is a small white pagoda, which is either jade or ivory. It is covered with a translucent gauze "treasure tent", so it looks white.

Throughout his life, Chen Pi Asi still knew little about pagodas and pagodas. This was also related to the illiteracy of the generation before liberation. There is an old saying among Changsha natives: It is better to fight against the pagoda than to fight against ten thousand princes. That is to say, the things in the Pagoda Underground Palace are often more luxurious than those in the Tomb of Marquis Wanhu. Although Chen Pi Asi had heard this, he didn’t understand it deeply. If it were me, I would have already known what was underneath.

Underneath the pocket pagoda, there should be eight layers of treasure boxes containing Buddha's bone relics, which are eight boxes one inside another. This thing is specially used by the Buddhists. Together with the relics inside, it is the three thousand worlds and the six paths of reincarnation. Regardless of whether the bones underneath are real Buddha bones or jade shadow bones, the eight-fold treasure letter alone, my God, is something whose value cannot be calculated at all.

When I heard this, I felt a little confused. If Chen Pi Asi really stole the eight-fold treasure letter from the underground palace, how could these things appear in the newspaper? Could it be that he was very close to the treasure at that time?

But why did you give up? With such a person's character, it is really impossible.

Lao Hai didn't notice that I was distracted and was still talking eloquently. However, this man's narrative was too wordy, and I couldn't get in the conversation, so I had to listen to him continue to fool me.

After Chen Pi Asi saw the pagoda, although he didn't know what was underneath, he knew it would definitely not be too bad. Now as long as you can get down to the bottom, you can naturally come back with a full load, but how to get down.

It's a pity that I didn't bring enough ropes. If I had known this, I might as well have gone back just now and come back when I was ready, and I wouldn't have been in this dilemma.

He shined his flashlight to the side to see if he could swing to the side of the underground palace, and then climbed down along the Arhat statues. He used his flashlight to look at each section, estimating the height until he reached the bottom. Around the pagoda, I suddenly saw some strange things, like a pile of loess scattered at the bottom of the white marble underground palace. I don't know if it accidentally fell down when sealing the underground palace, or if he just used a wire to open the top. .

When he took a closer look, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but scream inwardly that it was terrible.

It turns out that the stuff at the bottom of the palace is not loess, but a big dirt bag. At a glance, you can tell that it is the bee bag of a ground wasp.

Following the direction of the earth bag, you can see a half-person-high stone door on the edge of the underground palace. It is opened very discreetly. The earth bag "grows" in from there.

It seems that there are attached underground buildings around the "Mirror Palace", and they are probably not sealed. As a result, these bugs use them as a summer resort that is warm in winter and cool in summer. From here, it can be seen that the scale of this bee bag is not large, but the part inside the short door is probably very scary. It's no wonder that this hive is built so huge. It is an underground artificial building and is protected from wind and rain. It is really a "good location". The old bugs in this hive also know Feng Shui.

The piece of bentwood roof that I had just sawed off was stuck between the Arhat statues on the lower floor. It did not hit the insect nest. Otherwise, I would have been hanging here like a sausage, and I would not have been able to escape quickly. I would have been nailed to death by the bees, and I'm afraid it would have been fatal to the people who came after me. A laughing stock for thousands of years.

But this will cause trouble. As soon as your feet touch the ground, even if you are walking like smoke, it is impossible to move such a small tower in such a small space without disturbing these ground bees.

Chen Pi Asi just thought about it and knew that it was impossible to go down. There was only one way left to get things up.

Here I have to mention the origin of Chen Pi Asi. This man grew up in a fishing village along the coast of Zhejiang. He fled to Changsha only after being attacked by the Japanese, so his Changsha dialect is not "authentic". But this man is very smart. Since ancient times, native masters have basically not taught their skills to people from other provinces. He is a rare one.

When Chen Pi Asi was in Haiyan, he already had a unique skill, which was catching crabs on the tidal flats. Of course, you don’t catch crabs with your hands. The thing Chen Pi Ah Si uses to catch crabs is called a “nine-claw hook.”

This thing is similar to the flying tiger claws in the movie, or the three-hook claws used by special forces for rock climbing. But this kind of claw has nine hooks, arranged in a circle and very densely arranged. When catching crabs, tie a rope to the tail of the hook. Then when you see a crab popping up on the tidal flat, throw it out. A crab will appear on the hook. Then pull it, and the crab will fly back and fall into the basket. inside.

According to my grandfather's notes, how accurate can this kind of skill be? You can hook a raw egg from twenty meters away with just a flick of your hand, and it won't break when it hits the ground. It's a magical skill. If it is further away, you have to use a stick to throw it, which is also very accurate.

Chen Pi Asi had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his housekeeping skills. He first swung to the side and climbed down layer by layer along the Arhat statue. When the distance was close, he took out the nine-claw hook, raised his breath, and hooked his claws on the treasure tent in an arc with an extremely small angle. Fortunately, this thing was not made of common bluestone, and was very light. Chen Pi Asi swung up the treasure tent and put it on the head of the Arhat aside. The strength of his hand changed, and the hook came out and returned to his hand.

The next step is to remove the jade or tooth tower, but no matter what the material is, it cannot be lifted up with a nine-claw hook. Chen Pi Asi swung out the nine-claw hook, hooked it on the miniature Tasha, and pulled it a few times, but it didn't move at all.

It's not half a ton, but it's five hundred kilograms, Chen Pi Ah Si cursed inwardly.

He scanned the tower body with his flashlight and saw four miniature pillars at the base. This tower must have been made in proportion to the one that collapsed overhead, and its structure should be similar. These four pillars support all the weight of the tower. The treasure letter is in the middle of the pillars, but the angle is wrong. Otherwise, if you hook it carefully, you should be able to hook it up.

At this time, Chen Pi's Asi was already feeling a little impatient. He estimated that it had been four hours since he had been down. He just heard a few whistles vaguely. Maybe the Miao people were already nearby and there was no time to hesitate and think of a solution.

His heart felt depressed, his mind became hot, and evil thoughts arose in his heart. He flicked his hand and fired two more iron marbles. The marbles hit the small pillar on the base of the tower, and the pillar shattered with a sound. Then he jumped up and stepped on the side of the tower. Then he slowed down and used his own momentum to tilt the tower to one side. The pillars on the other two sides were already unbalanced and broke suddenly. The tower sank, and the tower body and base cracked.

Chen Pi Asi was lying on the tower, controlling his strength. The weight of the tower was slow and it tilted very slowly. When Chen Pi Asi saw a corner of the treasure letter under the tower, he swung the nine-claw hook and hooked the thing up from the bottom of the tower. Then he retracted the hook and threw it out, hooking the Arhat statue on the side, like pulling up a rope. Steady yourself.

This series of actions was completed in only 3 seconds, but he did not expect that the Arhat statue could not hold the tower body and his weight at all. With a pull, the Arhat statue became unstable and fell off the wall.

The circle below is almost a bee bag. If it falls like this, it is equivalent to falling directly into the bee bag, and it is impossible not to die.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Pi'asi used all his strength to pull the Arhat statue towards him, and threw the eight-fold treasure letter into the air with one hand. With such a lightning-fast change of hands, the Arhat statue was firmly in his hand, but unavoidably, the top of the pagoda also hit the underground palace wall hard, and more Arhat statues were knocked down by the tilting pagoda brake.

This time, Chen Pi Ah Si could no longer do anything. He watched a row of Arhat statues smash into the wasp's nest on the ground. Dust suddenly flew everywhere, and the wasp's nest was almost completely dented and cracked under the pressure.

In the chaos, he had no choice but to drop the Arhat in his hand, catch the treasure letter again, and reflexively use his flashlight to shine on the bee bag. I have finished speaking in my heart, and my old fate has been fulfilled. I did not die on the battlefield, but died in the underground palace, as my ancestors said.

When he shined a flashlight, he found that there were not a large number of wasps pouring out of the cracks as he had imagined. Instead, he saw that the cracks in the hive were dry and had no moisture at all, and seemed to be an abandoned bee bag.

However, what made his whole body feel cold was that there was a black thing inside a crack. It seemed that it was wrapped in it when the nest was being built. It was unknown whether it was the body of a dead person or some animal.

He jumped down and opened it. He saw that an Arhat statue with the same style as here was wrapped in it. It had broken into several pieces. It was probably that the hive fell from above and broke into pieces before it was formed. The result was... Wrap it in.

Chen Pi Asi looked up. Although he didn't pay attention when he came down just now, he didn't feel that an Arhat statue was missing anywhere. Where did this one fall from?
