You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 185

Everyone searched in the tunnel for a while, and the sound of water flowing became clearer and clearer. It was obviously nearby, but they couldn't find it. The ground was dry and dry, and there was no moss on the walls. It doesn't look like a place with water flowing through it.
Probably because they were listening so intently, most people felt a little dizzy after going around for a while. Asher made a prompt decision and asked everyone to exit the underground palace according to the previous marks to avoid accidents if they stayed too long.
"How?" Liancheng Guyue was still guarding the entrance.
"Not found." Asher shook his head and roughly described the situation in the underground palace.
"Can you hear the sound of water, but can't find the source?" Liancheng Guyue frowned.
"Yes." Asher said, "And the area near the sound of water is extremely dry. It doesn't look like there is water."
"Could it be some kind of demonic formation?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
"Not like that." Daohun shook his head. "Although my ancestors are good at all kinds of Bagua mazes, they are still based on the same principles. Even if it is a formation I have never seen before, I can't be completely unaware of it."
"That's strange." Liancheng Guyue said, "Why don't we find a place where the sound of water is most obvious and look around?"
"If we dig randomly, will it destroy the formation set up by the White Emperor?" Mu Hanye was worried.
As expected, Daohun nodded, "Yes."
"What are the consequences?" Mu Hanye asked.
Daohun said, "If it is not absolutely necessary, it is better not to dig into the wall. The Bagua formation is extremely sophisticated, and most of the time it affects the whole body. If one of them is destroyed, the people inside will be in danger."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene fell into silence. This will not work, and that will not work. Could it be that Cheng Cheng can only worry here?
The sun had already risen to the middle of the sky, and everyone was a little tired after searching for a whole morning. So Liancheng Guyue asked the soldiers to eat something and rest first, while he and Daohun continued to discuss the next plan.
"Are you still dizzy?" Asher asked Oliver.
"It's much better now that you're out." Oliver said, "It's too dark and stuffy in there. You'll feel suffocated if you stay there for too long."
Asher took off his water bag and said, "Take a few sips."
"What is it?" Oliver smacked his lips after drinking it, "It's a little sweet."
"It's made with fruit wine and mare's milk." Asher smiled, "It won't make you drunk, but it can warm your body."
"You also like to drink this?" Shen Xiaoshou was surprised. She was really very girlish and dreamy.
"I prepared it for you." Asher took the water bag back, "I was worried that you would be cold. You can't find anything better in the ice and snow."
Oliver was immediately touched, his man couldn't be more considerate.
"I thought I would be able to find the water source if I went in, but now it seems it will take a while." Asher said, "Do you want me to take you back first?"
"I'm not tired." Oliver said, "Just do your thing and don't worry about me."
Asher smiled and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Otherwise, let's try another approach." Oliver said.
"What to change?" Asher was puzzled.
"If you can't find water in one place, find another place." Oliver took a bite of the pancake in his hand, "I just thought about it. If you can hear the sound of water, it doesn't mean there is water nearby. It may just be an illusion caused by the huge size of the underground palace."
"Go on." Asher nodded.
"There are many forks in the underground palace, and no one knows what is next to the stone wall, so the sound of flowing water may not be real." Oliver said, "But the puddles that can be seen are different."
Asher was thoughtful.
"Why don't you go look for some wet places?" Oliver suggested.
Asher nodded and pulled him to stand up.
"Where is Brother Qin going?" Mu Hanye was puzzled when he saw the two of them entering the underground palace together.
Asher said, "Go in and take a look."
Others:...
This answer is so straightforward that it makes no difference whether you say it or not.
"Doesn't it matter if the sword soul doesn't come in?" Oliver was a little nervous, "It doesn't mean that the underground palace is full of gossip traps. What if I can't get out."
Asher was very calm, "Then we will live here forever."
Oliver:...
Are you serious, young man? Even if you want to do it, there is no bed here.
"Don't worry." Asher continued to pull him in. "The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. I have also learned the Eight Diagrams Formation, and just now I learned some things from the Sword Spirit. I won't get lost."
Knowing that his man was still very reliable in some matters, Oliver did not ask any more questions and continued to walk in with him.
"I'll go take a look." Daohun was a little worried after all. He left the rations and wanted to follow the underground palace, but was held back by Liancheng Guyue.
Mu Hanye also said, "It's better if you don't go."
"Why?" Daohun was puzzled.
Liancheng Guyue pondered over the words, and then... couldn't think of anything, so he looked at Mu Hanye.
Qi Jue Wang said, "Maybe Mr. Shen is tired, so he wants to go in and rest." After thinking about it, he added, "It's cold outside."
Daohun suddenly said, "So that's it."
"So don't worry." Mu Hanye patted him on the shoulder, "I'll come out when I've had enough sleep."
The secret guard originally wanted to follow him in, but after hearing this, he had to give up the idea and continued to squat outside and eat the big cake.
How could the palace master be like this? He could be interested in anything.
In front of so many people!
We are really embarrassed.
"Be careful." Asher pulled him, "The ground is very slippery."
"Hmm." Oliver jumped over a small puddle, "It smells a bit moldy here."
"So you have to follow closely." Asher said, "If you encounter a monster, get into my arms quickly."
Oliver:...
Simply annoying.
Although the sound of water could still be heard from time to time in their ears, neither of them was disturbed this time. They just kept walking along the puddles on the ground. It was dark all around and only torches illuminated the way forward. Oliver felt a little numb and couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but squeeze his hand tighter.
Asher smiled, "Afraid?"
"No." Oliver was very unsure.
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen." Asher lowered his head and k!ssed him, "If someone stands in the way of someone else, someone will kill someone, if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, someone will kill someone else."
Oliver was amused, "Yeah."
The two walked for a while and saw a dead end in front of them. There was a lot of water on the ground and even the walls were covered with water drops.
"The road is broken." Oliver said, "The end?"
Asher reached out and knocked on the wall, then listened, "There is a sound of wind."
"Wind sound?" Oliver imitated him and stayed close to the wall, and then...he heard nothing.
...
"Little pig." Asher tapped his forehead, "You are just eavesdropping in the inn."
Shen Xiaoshou:...
Do you have to be so blunt?
Asher held up a torch and looked at it, then said, "They were not built at the same time."
"What do you mean?" Oliver was confused.
"This barrier and this underground palace were not built together." Asher said.
"Really?" Oliver held up the torch and took a look. He indeed found that the stone slab in front was more worn out. He thought about it and wondered, "It's unlikely. Who can repair the barrier first and then dig the tunnel? Shouldn't it be the other way around?" It's so frustrating that the order is reversed.
"It is indeed a tunnel built first." Asher said, "The walls on both sides are made of fine blue marble, which is very strong and wear-resistant; while the barrier in front is made of ordinary snowfield stone. I said they were not built at the same time, but Because there is no need to use different stone materials, it has nothing to do with the degree of erosion. "
"That's it." Oliver said, "What does that mean?"
"Why not open the wall and take a look?" Asher said.
Oliver was startled, "You want to dig into the wall?"
Asher nodded.
"Wait!" Oliver stopped him, "Didn't the sword spirit say that there are Bagua formations in here? What if we can't get out after digging them out?" It's really miserable to think about it. I haven't seen my son grow up yet. .
"The underground palace was built by the White Emperor, but this barrier was not." Asher patted him, "But as long as you are here, I will not act recklessly. Let's go find the army first."
"What if after digging, Zhou Jue is on the other side?" Oliver has a very rich imagination.
"How could that be? This place is not outside the side hall at all." Asher said, "Zhou Jue is in the main hall, still some distance away from here. Besides, when I listened just now, there was no sound from the other end."
"What could that be?" Oliver thought divergently, "You have to block it up on purpose!" Could it be gold jewelry? If this is the case, Zhou Jue will probably be angry to death again.
It's hard to express the bitter feeling of clearly guarding a golden mountain without knowing it, and watching the enemy poach it bit by bit.
The army outside also instantly became energetic after hearing what Asher said. The Jianghu mascot even had tears in her eyes, feeling that she is indeed my wife. You can find out when you go in and out casually. She is on a completely different level from the palace master.
Since their own palace master showed no signs of abdicating in the short term, the secret guards had to settle for the second best and began to think about the possibility of splitting up the family, preparing for a rainy day.
Everyone entered the side hall of the underground palace again. Mu Hanye listened to the sound on the other side of the stone wall and said, "There is indeed the sound of wind."
"It won't be a problem if this wall is demolished." Daohun said, "It won't destroy the formation."
Asher nodded and signaled everyone to step back.
Oliver clenched his fists nervously, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind. In addition to the glittering treasure, there was even a bizarre version like "Zhou Jue is taking a bath". He must not tell anyone else, especially his man.
Asher gathered his inner strength, drew his sword, and slashed at the stone wall. After thousands of years of wind and frost, even the hardest stone could not withstand such a battle, so it roared and broke into countless pieces, falling to the ground.
A strong wind blew in his face, mixed with countless stone powders and fragments. Oliver was caught off guard and took two steps back and almost sat on the ground.
The secret guard protected him behind him, holding the iron whip vigilantly.
There was naturally no movement on the other side. In fact, after the smoke and dust dissipated, almost everyone was stunned in place.
It is not as dark as the underground palace that everyone walked through before. On the other side of the stone wall, countless rays of skylight are pouring in from the cracks on the top of the underground palace, illuminating every corner of the hall.
Rather than calling it a hall, it was more like an ice lake. Due to the extremely low temperature, the water inside had already frozen into ice, and around the lake, there were dozens of corpses dressed in strange clothes lying in all directions, all sealed in the ice, with different expressions, just like ice sculptures.
"This is..." Oliver looked at Asher in shock.
"He's a member of the Bai clan." Before Asher could speak, Daohun had already answered for him.
Oliver was a little doubtful, and obviously didn't understand. Didn't the Bai family have lived in Baidi Village for thousands of years? How come another group of people suddenly appeared and froze to death in the underground palace?
"They are not from Baidi Village now." Daohun's voice was very low, "They are the last group of our ancestors who were left when they fought that year."
Oliver sucked in a breath of cold air, and once again looked at the ice lake in disbelief - so this is, an army from thousands of years ago? !
"I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." Daohun said, "According to legend, after this army heard that their ancestors were defeated, they originally wanted to rush to rescue them, but they didn't expect that when they passed by a large lake, they were captured. Attacked by the icicles that suddenly burst out of the water, everyone suffered severe injuries, but only a few survived. "
Oliver:...
It’s still unscientific!
"That's possible." Asher patted his shoulder. "It's common for the temperature in the snowfield to drop suddenly overnight. Coupled with the storm, the lake water will be carried up to the sky and then frozen into ice and then fall down."
Due to the extremely low temperature and the bodies being sealed in ice, they were all well preserved. Everyone helped Daohun move the bodies to the snow outside, preparing to find a new place to bury them and set up a tombstone, so that they would no longer be lonely and wandering. Oliver squatted beside the ice lake and looked up, "Where is it above?"
"It should be a valley." Asher said, "It is surrounded by mountains, so it blocks the sun and keeps the ice lake from melting for thousands of years."
"Brother Qin!" A face suddenly appeared in the crack above.
Oliver was startled, "Seven Absolute Kings?"
He was clearly still in the underground palace just now, why did he run so fast!
"Come up quickly." Mu Hanye said, "There are good things to see."
"What good stuff?" Oliver asked curiously.
But the Seventh King had disappeared in an instant, apparently he was impatient to see the good stuff.
Oliver:...
Can you run faster?
"Let's go." Asher pulled him out, "He is an emperor after all. If Brother Mu can call him a good guy, he should not be too bad."
