At the end of the passage is a particularly wide space. Going down the long steps is a pool with a coffin in the center.
Mop asked his men to light the candlesticks, and the surroundings instantly lit up. The coffin was covered with red things, and opposite it was a stone door. Chen Wenjing walked to the stone door alone and fumbled for the mechanism, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Oh my god, why do I feel like this crap is getting brighter and brighter?" said the fat man, looking at the red thing on the coffin.
Wuxie nodded, "I think so too, these things look red."
The fat man reached out his hand and scooped up a handful of long red worms. "There are worms in this pond sucking our blood. We are constantly giving them blood transfusions!"
Suddenly something happened. A thug walking in front suddenly fell into the water and struggled, as if he was dragged by something, and fell on the stone platform next to him.
"Cut these bugs!"
Wuxie and the others were waving their daggers back and forth in the water. Aning frowned and ran to the front of the stone gate, watching them hacking around. They didn't seem very smart.
At this moment, there was a sudden click, and the snake heads around the coffin fell down, triggering the mechanism. Dense arrows flew towards Wuxie and the others. Some thugs were unable to dodge and were hit by many arrows and fell to the ground.
Just after a round of flying arrows, not long after, another round of mechanisms opened, and what flew out was actually a pheasant neck. Everyone was busy chopping snakes again. Mop was so scared that he ran around on the ground, shouting "Fat Master, save me!"
"Can't you see that I'm busy too?!"
After waiting for a long time for the mechanism to be closed, the whole secret room suddenly shook, and the surviving pheasant necks swam into the water one after another to escape.
"Is this an earthquake?" Mop asked tremblingly.
"No, it looks like the pheasants' necks are frightened by something," Wuxie said.
"Is there anything more powerful than these here?"
"Let's get ashore first. There are still bugs in the water!"
At this time, the sunken coffin slowly rose again, the surrounding snake heads also stood up, and the stone door lowered little by little, revealing the space behind it.
A long staircase extended upwards, and several people hurriedly ran up. They saw a corpse sitting upright on the throne on the top platform. The corpse looked like it was asleep, and even the skin was elastic.
The only thing that was inappropriate was that the corpse was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but apart from a jade pendant, there was no other gold, silver or jewelry.
"Could this be... the Queen Mother of the West?" the fat man hesitated.
"The only one qualified to sit on the throne is the Queen Mother of the West herself."
The fat man stepped on the edge of the throne and said, "The Queen Mother of the West is well-maintained. What kind of skill does this require? But... is the Queen Mother of the West so shabby? Why doesn't she even have any jewelry on her?"
Aning stared at the body for a long time and said, "It's not that it's not there, but it's been taken away. The clothes show signs of being turned over."
"Who is so brave and not afraid of being poisoned or something?"
"Xiaochuan" Zhang Qiling said.
"Ah? Xiaochuan'er? That's impossible..." The fat man was a little unconvinced.
"Wait, this isn't the Queen Mother of the West!" Chen Wenjing suddenly said, "Her face looks strange, like she's wearing a mask. The guards on both sides also wore masks, but they fell off over time."
"It seems that this mask can not only change one's appearance, but also has an anti-corrosion function." Wuxie said.
"Leave a message." Zhang Qiling said as he shone his flashlight on the stone wall behind the throne.
"Whose message is this?"
"It's a message from Xuannv to the Queen Mother of the West. Looking from here now, the face on it seems to be smiling quite gently." Wuxie shone the flashlight at the human-faced statue on the top of the stone gate.
"Who is this...Xuan Nu?" asked Mop.
The fat man looked at him and said, "This Xuannv, according to legend, is the one who protects the Queen Mother of the West. She is not only the Queen Mother of the West's special envoy, but also a general. She is well versed in military affairs and tactics!"
While they were talking, Zhang Qiling remained motionless. Suddenly, he saw the jade pendant on the body of Queen Mother of the West, and then he took a closer look.
The jade pendant was in the shape of a snake. Zhang Qiling remembered that Ji Huaichuan had mentioned it before. He took off the jade pendant and put it in his bag. Only then did he realize that the small piece of cloth that had been blocked by the jade pendant was from Ji Huaichuan's clothes.
The words "Meteorite Jade" were written on the piece of cloth. Zhang Qiling twisted the piece of cloth hard, then put it in his bag and walked behind the throne.
"Where are you going, little brother?" Wuxie shouted.
Zhang Qiling ignored him and walked straight inside without looking back, with quick steps. Seeing this, Chen Wenjing followed him.
Wuxie, Fatty and the others had no choice but to follow. When they went down behind the throne, they saw several thick pillars supporting a particularly large stone.
"This is my destination!" Chen Wenjing said excitedly.
"Ah? Your destination is the stone ceiling of Queen Mother of the West's house?" The fat man was puzzled.
"This is not an ordinary stone, it is a heavenly stone!" said Chen Wenjing.
"What sky stone? Isn't this a meteorite... Wait, this is fatal. Such a big meteorite fell down with a bang. Could this basin be created by it?" The fat man clicked his tongue.
"This is meteorite jade." Zhang Qiling said suddenly.
"Meteorite jade? I've only seen some records about meteorite jade in ancient books. I didn't expect that there would be such a big one in the Palace of Queen Mother of the West." Wuxie exclaimed.
As soon as Wuxie finished speaking, Chen Wenjing was eager to enter the meteorite jade. Wuxie stopped him in time, but he didn't expect that just as he stopped Chen Wenjing, Zhang Qiling suddenly rushed out and rushed straight into the meteorite jade.
"Brother!"
Wuxie let go of Chen Wenjing, which meant that Chen Wenjing was no longer restricted and followed Zhang Qiling into the meteorite jade.
Leaving Wuxie and the others standing there in a daze.
Aning took a look and prepared to go in, but he didn't expect that he was bounced back and hit the stone pillar as soon as he touched the edge of the meteorite.
"Aning! Are you okay?" Wuxie ran over and helped Aning up.
Aning waved her hand, "It's okay, we can't get into this meteorite jade."
Wuxie just didn't believe it and jumped around under the meteorite for a long time, but didn't even touch the edge of the entrance of the meteorite.
"Stop jumping around! I told you you can't go in. Besides, their skills are no match for yours. You'll only cause trouble if you go in. You might as well stay outside and wait." Aning shouted.
Wuxie looked at Aning deeply, then turned around and shone the flashlight at the entrance of the meteorite jade, wondering what he was thinking.
The mop slid on the ground against the stone pillar, not daring to breathe. Suddenly, he turned around and saw Hei Xiazi and Jie Yuchen.
"Master Huaer, Master Hei, why are you here?"
"I finally found you. We just took another road and came out to a reservoir, which was full of dead pheasant necks. I thought it must be you." Hei Xiazi said with a smile.
Xie Yuchen looked around and asked, "Why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?"
The fat man pointed at the meteorite jade and said, "They've all gone in there, and we can't stop them."
"Is this the meteorite jade?" Hei Xiazi looked at the big black stone.
