Chapter 840: We are actually still human

The journey was considered smooth, encountering several small obstacles, all of which were passed smoothly. Compared to the various things encountered after entering the underground palace, the danger level was directly reduced by half.

When pushing open the mountain gate, walking out of the underground palace, and breathing the long-lost fresh air, the joy was beyond words.

Chen Guanlou stood on the mountainside, just wanting to roar.

Boom!

A loud noise, the stone door behind closed, falling stones rolled down one after another, completely blocking the stone door and blocking all prying eyes.

"Who would have thought that there would be an underground palace entrance on the mountainside." Zhang Daohe was quite emotional. "If I had known there was a road here, I wouldn't have had to spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources tossing on the lake."

"Don't say you couldn't find it; even if you found it, do you think there would be no defensive restrictions here? Regardless of exit or entrance, it is an imperial mausoleum inside, and it must have been considered in every aspect. Don't look at how easy it is to come out from here; if you go in, believe it or not, the heavy levels encountered before would still be unavoidable."

Chen Guanlou's words made Zhang Daohe completely relieved.

"What you say makes sense; it was me who thought things too simply. Immortal methods, gods and ghosts are unpredictable, truly making one dazzled and yearning. Brother Chen, what are your plans next?"

"Return to the capital, continue to serve in the Heavenly Prison. Something is not quite right. When I came, I remember the mountains were green and the vegetation was lush; although it was autumn, this is the south after all. Vegetation wouldn't turn yellow so early. Look, those tree leaves, some of the weeds by the roadside have already started to wither. What's going on?"

Reminded by Chen Guanlou, Zhang Daohe also discovered these abnormalities.

The two looked at each other, unable to help but raise the same question: how long did the two stay in the ancient tomb?

No need for words, the two had tacit understanding. They directly changed their appearance and figure and rushed straight to the underground palace entrance where the lake was drained.

The place was empty!

The restrictions were broken!

The messy appearance showed that they had left fiercely and hurriedly. Some silver was still scattered on the ground, and no one picked it up. It could be seen that since August 15th, no one had been here.

In the grass, some skeletons were scattered.

Wang Qiren's corpse had already turned into bones; this was too fast.

Song Yuanzheng died near Wang Qiren.

None were buried!

"Actually, there isn't even anyone to collect the corpses. Brother Zhang, what's going on with your followers in the sect? Didn't you arrange the aftermath? Skeletons exposed in the wilderness, are you afraid that others won't know that a major event happened here, afraid that someone will use this to get to the bottom of it."

"Brother Chen, you have misunderstood; the aftermath has long been arranged. I have arranged for enough personnel to remain behind. As for the current situation, I am not sure what is going on either. Let's go, let's go to the town and take a look."

Zhang Daohe was a bit urgent at this moment.

Without extra words, the two rushed straight to Pingjing Town.

The small town was slightly desolate, with only a few pedestrians on the street, all of whom were locals.

The two went straight to the restaurant, asked for a private room on the second floor, and ordered a table of dishes.

Starving to death!

Asking about things was urgent, and eating was also urgent.

Both covered their true faces, and the restaurant waiter didn't recognize them.

Chen Guanlou casually tipped the waiter a handful of copper coins and asked casually, "What's the date today?"

"Reporting to the guest, today is the 18th."

"September 18th!"

"The guest is joking, today is October 18th."

Chen Guanlou:...

Zhang Daohe:...

The shock in their hearts was indescribable and could not be expressed.

August 15th, October 18th.

That is to say, the two entered the underground palace for a full two months.

Two months!

Entering the main tomb chamber took at most two days. In the main tomb chamber 'Epiphany', it actually took two months. The incense candles actually burned for two months without extinguishing.

The oil lamps in the tomb chamber burned for two months, also without extinguishing.

Even more eerily, the two actually didn't starve to death, nor did they die of thirst!

What's going on?

It doesn't make sense!

However, the various things in the ancient tomb couldn't be measured by common sense. They didn't starve or die of thirst, so it wasn't too strange, right?

Chen Guanlou secretly pinched himself, it hurt!

He should still be a normal person, not a non-human. Wait a while and cut himself again to see if the blood is still red.

He quickly came back to his senses and patted his head. "Look at my brain, always mixing up the days. Fortunately, I won't calculate the money wrong. Hey, I heard people say a while ago that it was quite lively here. Why don't I see a few people today?"

The waiter looked outside the door and closed the door, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Guanlou decisively threw a few pieces of silver to the other party. "Tell me! If you tell it well, there will be rewards!"

Hearing this, the waiter became excited, throwing all fear and terror behind him. "The guest doesn't know, a while ago many martial artists gathered in our town, I don't know exactly what they were doing, I heard they were going to hold a Jianghu conference. As a result, the Bai Lian Sect made trouble and sowed discord, and that night the whole town was dyed red with blood.

Later, those martial artists came to their senses and knew they had been deceived, so they slaughtered all the Bai Lian Sect bandits hiding in the town. To tell the two, two Bai Lian Sect bandits were actually hiding in our shop before. Fortunately, the Embroidered Uniform Guard found out the truth and took them away. Thank God. Thinking about working with Bai Lian Sect bandits for so long, everyone still has lingering fear."

"Bai Lian Sect! Oh my, such a small town actually has the Bai Lian Sect." Chen Guanlou's expression was very exaggerated, acting quite like it. "Are you all okay?"

"We locals are fine, those people had a sense of proportion when they took action and avoided us."

Chen Guanlou looked relieved. "You said the Embroidered Uniform Guard came?"

"When it was almost dawn, many people came, and later I found out they were all Embroidered Uniform Guard people. We were so scared we didn't dare to go out."

"Did the Embroidered Uniform Guard kill all the Bai Lian Sect?"

"Killed a batch, caught a batch."

"Which day exactly? Such a big thing, I've never even heard of it."

"Let me think, August 15th, right, it was August 15th. I remember my family ran out of food that day, and I didn't dare to go out, fortunately, there were two mooncakes at home."

The waiter was very happy and finally remembered.

Chen Guanlou and Zhang Daohe exchanged a look. It was very clear that after they entered the underground palace, the Embroidered Uniform Guard began the cleanup.

Truly the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It's just that I don't know if Xiao Jincheng personally directed this operation, or if he followed into the underground palace to find the opportunity.

Unable to find more useful news, the two concentrated on eating, both feeling a bit tasteless.

Chen Guanlou signaled Zhang Daohe. "Cut yourself!"

Zhang Daohe was very confused.

He said, "Don't you want to know if you are still human."

Zhang Daohe:...

Decisively cut himself on the hand.

Bright red blood flowed out slowly, and the smell of blood was pungent.

"I am definitely human."

Chen Guanlou made a decisive decision, without any nonsense, and also cut himself. Without surprise, he was still human.

"We are actually still human!" Zhang Daohe muttered to himself, not eating or drinking for two months, and still being human.

"Of course human. Could it be a ghost!" ===== CHAPTER 841 =====
