Although the barrier near the entrance to the underground palace has become relatively weak, as Master Dukong said, its power to exclude outsiders is still not to be underestimated.
Song Mengmeng stood there observing for a while before slowly taking a step and walking towards the entrance.
Just like when she entered Xuanyuan Tomb before, in Master Dukong's eyes, stepping in was just taking two steps forward on a desolate path. But in reality, the scene that fell into Song Mengmeng's eyes at this moment had completely changed.
She casually released Yuanyuan.
As soon as Yuanyuan landed, before she could even stand properly, she couldn't help but run towards the cave entrance: "My lord, it's Lord Chi You!"
Little Yuanyuan cheered and rushed forward. Before Song Mengmeng could stop her, she crashed headfirst into a transparent barrier before the entrance. The little beast rushed past with lightning speed and was quickly bounced back like a black sesame dumpling that had been exposed.
The little one was hit pretty hard; her whole body went flat and she took a while to recover. She slowly got up and looked at the barrier with a wronged and unwilling expression: "My lord, Lord Chi You is inside!"
But she just can't get in!
Song Mengmeng lowered her head and patted her head to comfort her and tell her to calm down.
After calming Xiao Yuanyuan down, Song Mengmeng straightened up. With a flick of her wrist, the Xuanyuan Sword she had acquired earlier was already in her hand. Before the number one divine weapon in the world, this barrier that had hindered her was as fragile as tofu that had just been made, utterly vulnerable.
A slit was easily cut open.
With Xiao Yuanyuan in tow, Song Mengmeng rushed straight into the dark entrance without stopping.
However, to the surprise of both of them, they did not find Chi You's right arm, which they were looking for, in the sealed underground palace.
All that remains here is a wall of murals that are slowly disappearing, and a scroll stored on the central platform of the underground palace.
"How could this be? How could there not be?!"
"I clearly, I clearly smelled Master's scent! It was definitely Lord Chi You's scent!" Yuan Yuan walked around the entire underground palace three or four times, and finally could only collapse to the ground in despair, looking at Song Mengmeng and bursting into tears.
Her long-cherished wish to resurrect Lord Chi You and then see Tuantuan—was it really going to be dashed like this?!
"Don't worry, look at this mural and this scroll. Maybe we can find some different clues!" Song Mengmeng's voice was not loud, but it clearly calmed Yuanyuan, who was completely at a loss.
Yuanyuan sniffed, not bothering to wipe away the tears on her face, and followed Song Mengmeng's gaze to look at the murals that had clearly shown signs of fading in the short time since she came in.
The little girl couldn't take it all in at once or remember it all, but that didn't stop her. She quickly took out her phone and started snapping pictures of the murals on the wall.
What era are we living in? Aren't people allowed to keep up with the times?
Just as Yuanyuan was busy taking pictures of the murals, Song Mengmeng finally focused her attention on the scroll in the middle that was still sealed.
The dark gold scroll floated silently within the sealed pillar of light in the underground palace. Song Mengmeng slowly stepped forward, raised her hand, and gently touched the edge of the pillar of light. As if she had opened some hidden mechanism, the scroll fell into her hand without any resistance.
With the scroll in hand, the entire underground palace seemed to lose its support and began to sway precariously.
"I'm done filming!" Yuanyuan naturally realized the danger of the situation, put away her phone and ran to Song Mengmeng's side. Together with her, they ran towards the exit without any hesitation.
This commotion is quite astonishing!
Even Master Dukong and Hu Da, who were still on the outer edge of the barrier, felt the tremors beneath their feet. Master Dukong was alright, but Hu Da couldn't help but want to rush forward and force her way through the barrier to rescue them.
Before he could take two steps forward, he saw two figures rush out from the entrance of the underground palace.
With a loud bang!
The pagoda garden behind the Buddhist temple, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, collapsed in a huge roar...
Master Dukong responded well to this near-disaster, as if a stone that had been hanging over his heart had finally been lifted. He felt a sense of relief: "It's alright, I'm here. You can leave with peace of mind."
At this moment, those who sensed the commotion began to gather at the back mountain. It was indeed not time to delay any longer, so Song Mengmeng and Hu Da quickly disappeared from Master Dukong's sight.
The commotion at the pagoda temple quickly alarmed the entire Xijing area. However, thanks to the mediation of Master Dukong, everyone eventually agreed that it was a landslide on the back mountain and immediately arranged for people to go and carry out emergency repairs.
Back at the hotel, Song Mengmeng and the others didn't rest either. They took out the sealed scroll right under the barrier set up by Hu Da.
Because the whole thing went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable, Song Mengmeng and the others were still a little apprehensive when they opened the scroll.
I'm always a little worried that it might all be for nothing.
However, once the scroll was opened in front of everyone, everyone finally felt relieved.
Just as Yuanyuan said, this was indeed the beginning of everything, and with this scroll and the surrounding murals, they finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that the legends known to everyone also contain inside stories that no one had ever thought of.
"This is truly unexpected." Looking at everything recorded on the scroll, not only was Song Mengmeng surprised, but Hu Da was also shocked.
In everyone's eyes, the Battle of Zhuolu was a battle for the world between the emperor and Chiyou, but little did they know that such a truth was hidden behind it!
"Actually, now that I think about it, all of this wasn't entirely without clues." After looking at the murals that Yuanyuan had laid out, and thinking about the information she had gathered after getting involved in this matter, some things that didn't make sense before could now be explained successfully!
If the emperor was truly Chi You's mortal enemy at that time, after defeating and executing Chi You, there would have been countless ways to dispose of his remains.
The saying goes, "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots." It's hard to believe that a wise and capable emperor would make such a foolish move, giving the Chiyou tribe a chance to make a comeback!
