"What the hell is this place?"
Chu Tinghan followed Lin Bai and asked curiously.
"Are you asking me? I still want to ask you?" Lin Bai asked: "You are the daughter of the royal family, so you must be more familiar with the hunting world than I am. Don't you know where this place is?"
Chu Tinghan shook his head silently, "Although I am the daughter of the royal family, my father's fiefdom is not in the imperial capital, and the territory of Chu State has not been peaceful these years, so my father took us everywhere to suppress rebellion."
"It can be said that since I was born, I have grown up in the military all year round. I may not be as familiar with the imperial capital as you."
"As for the internal affairs of the royal family, I know very little."
This is troublesome, she doesn't know... Lin Bai sighed silently in his heart, originally wanted to know the origin of this place from Chu Tinghan, but he didn't expect that she didn't know anything either.
"I think you know a lot about this place, otherwise how would you find the underground passage here?" Chu Tinghan looked at the dark passages around and asked Lin Bai.
"I found it by accident." Lin Bai told her what he had discovered, "This place is full of yellow sand, which is very strange, and anyone who gets lost in it will lose their way, but I found a lot of cities on the yellow sand. It was not swallowed by yellow sand."
"This is very strange. After all, the yellow sand raging here is so terrifying, it is impossible for a city to stand on top of the yellow sand."
"So I searched in these cities, and finally found a temple, and then found the underground passage in the temple."
Chu Tinghan suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then where do these underground passages lead to?"
"I hope it leads to the exit, otherwise, we will be trapped in this yellow sand world forever until the hunting is over."
Lin Bai took a deep breath, opened his Asura eyes and looked forward, "Although we don't know if this passage is the direction of the exit, we seem to have reached the end of the passage."
Chu Tinghan hurried to catch up and stood side by side with Lin Bai. In front of them, the light of a candle appeared.
The front is no longer dark, oil lamps are lit on the stone walls of the passages on both sides, illuminating the way forward, leading into the darkness.
Lin Bai couldn't help but raise his vigilance, four flying swords hovered beside him, and slowly walked forward.
Chu Tinghan followed Lin Bai step by step, passing by an oil lamp on a stone wall, she took a closer look, "It's mermaid oil."
"What?" Lin Bai asked puzzled.
Chu Tinghan pointed to the oil in these oil lamps and said, "This is mermaid oil. Even though it is only a small bowl, it is enough to burn for ten thousand years."
"When I followed my father to the imperial mausoleum to worship my ancestors, I saw this thing in the tombs of the kings of the Chu royal family."
Chu Tinghan looked at it seriously again, and said, "The fish oil in this oil lamp is full, which means...someone just changed the fish oil here."
Lin Bai looked up and saw the end of the flickering passage, "It seems that someone has come here before us."
"Let's go, go and have a look!"
Chu Tinghan saw that the fish oil had just been changed, which was enough to show that someone had come here earlier than them, and seemed to be very familiar with this place, and specially prepared the fish oil change in advance.
The two walked forward carefully side by side, slowly walked out of the narrow passage, and a huge underground palace appeared in front of them.
This palace is about a hundred feet high and a thousand feet wide, and in the middle stands a majestic statue, on which the image of a woman is impressively carved.
"Empress Huangsha."
Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan saw the statue and said the name of the statue in unison.
Although this statue is much taller than the ones in the outer temple, its expression is the same as the statues in the outer temple.
It is the Huangsha empress enshrined in this Tutu city.
There are oil lamps on the front, back, left, and right sides of the statue of Baizhang, and the light emitted from it reflects each other with the statue, making the statue extraordinarily sacred.
"Check the surroundings separately to make sure there is no danger!"
Chu Tinghan showed his years of experience in the military and gave Lin Bai instructions.
Lin Bai didn't argue with her either, because she had the same idea as Lin Bai, first to make sure there was no danger around.
After Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan checked carefully, apart from the two of them, there were no other living creatures or gods here.
Finally, several passages were found, going in different directions.
"I found nine passages here!" Lin Bai said to Chu Tinghan.
"I also have Jiutiao here." Chu Tinghan returned to Lin Bai's side after making a round of inspection, and shared the news he had learned.
In the end, the two came to the statue again, Chu Tinghan said: "It seems that the only thing that needs attention here is the statue in front of you."
"Who is this Empress Huangsha?"
Chu Tinghan was puzzled, why is there a statue of her here?
Sacrificial offerings are the respect of the weak to the strong all the year round. They set up statues for the strong, worship them day and night, and protect the strong.
Or set up a spiritual seat for the ancestors and pray for the blessing of the ancestors.
Lin Bai's previous guess... It is very likely that this female warrior quelled the Huangsha Rebellion here, so the warriors here erected her statue to frighten Huangsha.
But now Lin Bai has a new idea.
"Why is there a statue of her under the ground?" Lin Bai didn't understand.
If it is said that the god statues were erected in the city to protect the city in order to seek the protection of the Queen of Huangsha, then what is the god statue under the ground used to protect?
"Could it be that my previous guess was completely wrong..." Lin Bai looked up at the statue in front of him, "Isn't this Empress Huangsha suppressing Huang Sha, but Huang Sha himself?"
"What are you mumbling about?" Chu Tinghan asked curiously when he heard Lin Bai talking to himself.
Lin Bai told all the previous guesses, and put forward a new point of view.
"So, according to your speculation... this Empress Huangsha is an evil god?" Chu Tinghan felt a wave of fear in his heart.
Lin Bai took a few steps closer and looked at the statue carefully, "Compared with the statues in the temples in the city, this statue is more real!"
"and……"
Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and pressed on the foot at the bottom of the statue, and immediately felt a breath of life.
"And...it's alive!"
Lin Bai was shocked, and hurriedly dodged and retreated.
Chu Tinghan saw Lin Bai retreating, and immediately followed.
The moment the two of them retreated, the statue that had been standing still suddenly came to life, and the big palm that covered the sky and the sun patted Lin Bai and Chu Tinghan.
"The Four Elephants Sword Formation of God's Will!" Lin Bai hurriedly moved the sword formation to defend the front, followed by the slap of the big handprint, and sent Lin Bai flying.
Chu Tinghan's body was already injured, so he received another palm, his face turned pale, and he fell down on the wall with a sluggish breath, spitting out blood continuously from his mouth.
