Chapter 93
"And he himself fled alone to Guangxi, where he formed another group to raid tombs."
"One day, he happened to be chatting with some local Miao people in a certain place."
"Those people had drunk too much and started talking about the tower of a temple in Cat Mountain collapsing!"
"They said the commotion was very big, and even the ground sank, collapsing into a big pit."
"On the night of the collapse, many people also heard a very strange scream!"
"Chen Pi A-Si felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it; he had been to Cat Mountain many times, and the temples in that place were built very solidly, so how could they collapse just like that?"
"Therefore, he kept an eye on it and asked carefully."
"Only then did he know that this tower was not on Cat Mountain, but in the center of a mountain range nearby called Wofo Ridge."
"This place is very strange; it is surrounded by villages, but in the middle is a basin of about a dozen square kilometers, and the altitude is very low."
"The vegetation inside is dense, the tree canopy covers the sky and sun, the villages are on the cliffs, and the forest is below the cliffs."
"The drop is over a hundred meters; they are two completely different worlds!"
"And there is no road down from the village; to get down to this basin, you can only use ropes."
Hearing this, everyone knew that the so-called Mirror Palace must be under this hundred-meter cliff!
And for Chen Pi A-Si to go to the Mirror Palace to steal treasure, he had to get down below the cliff.
At this time, he was already over sixty, and to still have this courage and boldness was truly incomparable to ordinary people.
"However, this basin must have other entrances and exits, but the underground vegetation is too dense, making walking difficult, so of course, it is even harder to find a way out."
"Miao people who went down to hunt and pick herbs often went missing inside, so generally, no one was willing to go down."
"That ancient tower was built in such a place, almost in the center of the basin."
"Usually, when people looked down from the cliff, they could only see a very small tower tip exposed above the dense tree canopy."
"And it was all covered by plants, so it was impossible to see what was below."
"The Miao people said they had known there was a tower here for over a dozen generations, but no one had ever thought of going down to see it, and now they were used to it."
"Recently, one day, there was a sudden loud noise, and they discovered the tower tip was gone; only then did they realize the tower had collapsed!"
"As for this tower, because it has been too long, there are also many legends locally."
"The most famous one is that this tower was built by a high monk in ancient times to suppress demons."
"Now that the tower has collapsed, the demons are about to come out and do evil; that strange scream was the sound of the demons breaking free from their shackles!"
The audience smiled knowingly upon hearing this.
Such ancient legends basically exist in every village.
As time passes, some things become more and more mysterious.
Later on, they become completely different!
So the high monk suppressing demons should just be a rumor among the villagers.
But that there is something in this tower is certain!
The audience already knew that Chen Pi A-Si would definitely sneak into the cliff and go into the tower to steal treasure!
As for how thrilling the process was, they could only honestly listen to Zhang Lin's narration!
