Chapter 307 Despair and Collapse
"oops……"
"Look at the dome above the underground palace..."
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the underground palace.
Rong Che frowned and said, "I'll go down and take a look." He immediately pointed a few people to enter the underground palace.
The underground palace has been protected now and no one is allowed to enter.
"When the underground palace was opened, many murals were carved on the top. The murals were lifelike, but because the top was relatively high, no one damaged them and they were preserved relatively intact." Deputy General Zhu had already found out.
"Originally, there were eternal lamps and night-shining pearls in the underground palace, which illuminated the underground palace as bright as day." Now that the night-shining pearls and eternal lamps have been taken away, the underground palace is pitch black.
Lu Zhengyue held up a torch.
“The record on the stone wall should be about the owner of the underground palace, right?” Rong Che looked up.
On the stone wall, there are mostly seven young men surrounding a woman with an immortal look.
In the last painting on the stone wall, the girl seems to be standing in the air, and the people are prostrating themselves at her feet and crying.
"This girl must be the owner of the underground palace." Rong Che whispered.
Lu Zhengyue looked at his sister. Is this Chaochao’s previous life?
The seven disciples of the gods when they were young?
"General, look! There is a young man crying!" Everyone looked in the direction of the finger, and saw that one of the disciples had black tears in his eyes, dripping down the stone wall bit by bit.
Everyone was shocked and became more and more panicked.
His eyes seemed to be always looking at everyone.
"I actually felt like he could see me..."
"So creepy, I always feel like he's right here watching us..."
[Your intuition is pretty accurate. He has been clinging to the stone wall, and he is not only watching you now...]
Even when you were looting and smashing things, he was watching you quietly. 】
[That day happened to be his weakest period, otherwise the entire deserted city would have been massacred that day. 】Lu Chaochao sighed in his heart.
[Xinghui, ah Xinghui, what should I do with you...]
Lu Zhengyue's hand shook and the torch almost fell to the ground.
"Hey, the majestic statue of the god of war carved on the gate of the underground palace looks like this young man..."
Lu Zhengyue's eyelids were twitching wildly.
'ah! ! My sister’s disciple is a god! The gods themselves are guarding her underground palace! ! '
'Ahhh, these idiots are digging graves in front of the gods! ! '
'I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Innocent people are implicated! 'Lu Zhengyue cursed in his heart!
Suddenly, a shopkeeper with a pale face stood out from the crowd, holding a night-shining pearl in both hands.
"I am willing to return the Night Pearl."
The first group of people who tried to snatch the night pearl have passed away.
These are all innocent people who were implicated.
They were only connected indirectly because they did business in the city.
"This was taken by the robbers as payment for a debt. I would like to present it to the owner of the underground palace, so that you can enjoy the light again." The shopkeeper took small steps forward, holding the night pearl in both hands, and kowtowed respectfully in the underground palace.
"You love the world, but the world disturbs your peace. I kowtow to you and admit my mistakes on their behalf."
After bowing, he put the night pearl back to its original place.
Gradually, many people came out of the crowd and spontaneously put the night pearls back.
Then kowtow and admit your mistake.
Some people took brooms and cleaned up the filth in the underground palace.
"Bring some water and clean the underground palace." The deserted city is located in the desert and the water source is very far away. At this moment, no one dared to delay and everyone fetched water for flushing.
"These bastards, why did they destroy the underground palace into this state? They will go to hell to atone for their sins after they die..." everyone shouted angrily.
"Restoring the underground palace is a big problem..."
"And the ruined jade bed."
Lu Zhengyue took a deep breath and said, "Send someone to invite craftsmen from other places, and send a letter back to the palace as soon as possible."
After everyone cleaned the underground palace, they spread silver and money on the ground again.
No one dares to keep secrets.
Spit out everything you eat.
Some people even gritted their teeth and took out a portion of their savings to show their appreciation.
"I apologize to you for being such a good-for-nothing."
Everything is back to square one.
Just wait a few days for the craftsmen to arrive and repair the jade bed.
Everyone just left the underground palace.
Everyone felt the ground shaking and they could hardly stand. Lu Zhengyue hurriedly supported Wen Ning.
"What's going on?"
“There are earthquakes in the desert?”
"Look at the underground palace!!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the underground palace actually sank little by little, and countless mud and sand rushed up to cover up the traces little by little.
The underground palace sank and returned to the depths of the desert, and no one disturbed her peace anymore.
After a moment, calm returned to the ground.
Deputy General Zhu stepped forward and stepped on it: "It's gone, oh no, the underground palace is gone."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "Has the master of the underground palace forgiven us? Has the plague disappeared?"
"No, the red spots on my body have become heavier." The woman seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground.
"Go back to the city first."
The crowd returned to the city in a mighty procession, but the atmosphere was a little heavy. Everyone hung their heads and remained silent.
A thick smell of death permeated the city.
Some people have even started to break down and cry, and make arrangements for their funeral arrangements.
They can fight the disease, but it is a punishment from heaven, and none of them can afford to fight against it.
Lu Chaochao took Xing Hui and hid in the corner.
"Ah Hui, the underground palace has returned to the depths of the desert. You have forgiven them, right?"
Xing Hui looked dazed and nodded slightly.
Lu Chaochao sighed softly.
Xing Hui forgave them, but the evil spirit in him was beyond his control and he could not save the common people.
"You, you, if the gods knew that you were possessed by the devil, I'm afraid they would send people to surround and suppress you. Why don't you regain consciousness quickly..."
Lu Chaochao put his hands on his hips, looking fierce.
But Xinghui didn't respond.
In just three days, a large number of people collapsed in the deserted city, afflicted by the plague, and were trying hard to hold on and refused to leave.
Everyone knew the reason and took off their veils.
"Everything is caused by greed. I just hope it can warn people not to commit evil. God will punish those who are wrong."
Lu Chaochao stood on the street.
The ground was filled with common people, all of them with horrible red spots on their faces and a faint smell of decay emanating from their bodies.
Not only was there ulceration, but there was also unbearable pain.
“It hurts so much…”
"My whole body aches, even breathing feels like a knife cutting my throat..."
"I can't hold on any longer, I can't hold on any longer..." There were cries everywhere, paper money filled the sky, and the whole deserted city was filled with despair.
Lu Zhengyue's eyes were red. "We have counted that more than 20,000 people have touched the treasures in the underground palace. All of them have shown symptoms one after another..."
"What does the palace say?"
"Your Majesty has already asked the Dharma Master of the Huguo Temple for instructions, but the Dharma Master is old and tired from the journey, so he can't catch up at all."
"We are still lucky. Dongling is more affected." Dongling borders Huangcheng, and the people on both sides have always been exchanging what they have.
On the day the underground palace appeared, Dong Ling took advantage of his strong physique to steal more.
Some people were even injured and blood was seen inside.
"Grandpa, please don't die. If you die, what will I do..." A little girl of six or seven years old hugged the old man covered with sores, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Their lives have entered the countdown.
"It would be great if Xianting was here. Xianting is the god of life and can purify all monsters." Lu Chaochao sighed.
Suddenly...
The little guy tilted his head and asked curiously, "Hey, Xianting is the god of life, and I am his master... Can I summon him?"
Lu Chaochao felt unsure.
After all, the Ming family of the Southern Kingdom has believed in the God of Life for many years and has not summoned the God of the Garden for a long time.
