Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Chapter 161 Immortality Heaven

After its companions hammered steel nails into the ice and secured the ropes, the monkey felt safe and confident enough to start playing indoor skydiving.

The monkey was thin and agile, and the instant it leaped down from the cave entrance, it pulled the switch in its hand.

The canopy, much smaller than a normal parachute, was blown open by the descending airflow. The monkey remained calm and skillfully controlled its body to float towards the underground palace, landing steadily.

(This is just something the author wrote randomly, don't take it seriously!!!)

A smooth set of movements earned cheers from her companions above.

Shunzi: Keep it down, keep it down, everyone!!! Snow Mountain can't stand this!!!

The monkey untied the rope from its waist, made sure there was no danger around, and then found a place to secure the rope.

The guys upstairs started installing the zipline.

These strong and robust young men scurried down the slope like dumplings being dropped into a pot, until they reached the dried tangerine peel...

Shunzi genuinely suspected that this group was collectively isolating the old man. Was this a movement that a man in his nineties could participate in? Look at those old arms and legs…

So climbing a snow-capped mountain is something a man in his nineties can do, right?

You were the one who brought them up here!

"Fourth Grandpa? Need any service?"

Black Bear came over again, and the two of them put their arms around Chen Pi's shoulders and chuckled...

Dried tangerine peel: ...

With a blank expression, Chen Pi slapped away the black bear's claws, pulled out a strip of cloth, skillfully wrapped his hand around the pull ring of the zipline, and swiftly slid down.

The monk Hua, who landed first, turned around and saw the old man leaping down. Startled, he quickly reached out to catch him.

Their fourth master really doesn't admit to getting old at all!

The monkey landed in a very clever spot, right in an open space in front of a main hall, and the zipline was then fixed to a stone pillar in front of the hall.

Some of the heavier equipment, which they didn't really need later, was cleared out and left on the top. Everyone who came down had a backpack, and there was no other extra equipment.

Now, with everyone carrying backpacks and gathering in this small square, it inexplicably gives me the feeling of elementary school students gathering on the playground with their schoolbags, preparing for a spring outing.

Looking at the photos in his camera, Jie Qi said he would add a note on the back: "Team building photos at Jie Family Cloud Top Heavenly Palace" when they were developed.

That's such a damn strong sense of team spirit!!!

The guy left behind at the hot spring cave: Lemons on the lemon tree, and only me under the lemon tree... Waaaaah...

The Xie family members, who were forced to integrate into this big family, no longer wanted to express any opinions. Let them do whatever they want; going along with them would allow them to get down to business sooner.

Since you can't resist, you might as well accept and join in. And you know what? After immersing yourself in their mindset, you feel like you've gone completely crazy!

So you left all your equipment outside? How come you were able to pull out such a huge lighting device?

The waiter, who had just taken several lamps from the young master, chuckled, ignored the looks from Monk Hua and the others, and ran off to provide light for his companion who was opening the gate.

The massive palace doors were opened, waking the underground palace that had been silent for thousands of years, and bright lights illuminated everything.

A mysterious and eerie atmosphere of terror?

It doesn't exist at all...

If you put an incandescent light on a horror movie, the horror atmosphere will disappear by at least half.

They felt that what the young master said made a lot of sense: wherever the light shines, no evil will be able to hide.

After the palace doors opened, the servants lined up obediently behind the big shots, acting as well-behaved, quiet, and compliant tools—it couldn't be more enjoyable!

Their footsteps echoed in the quiet hall, the crisp sound of their specially made snow boots hitting the floor amplified, as if exerting some kind of psychological pressure on those who entered.

However, those present were either seasoned veterans or fearless bastards.

Even though the remaining underlings felt a little uneasy, they weren't panicked at all. Their shared thought was... what's there to be afraid of? What kind of monster could possibly be worth a good beating from our big shots?

They walked at a decent pace, taking almost five minutes to reach the center of the main hall.

Ahead is the jade altar for offerings, on which stands a pillar-like statue, surrounded by several bronze statues with human heads and bird bodies, in a guarding posture.

"Oh my god, these must be human-faced birds! The little things are quite unique!"

Fatty Wang looked at the human-faced bird statues with great interest and approached them for a closer look.

One of the men responsible for carrying the lanterns was particularly observant and stayed close to Fatty Wang, so that Fatty wouldn't have to do any work.

Fatty was a restless fellow, and Panzi was no less so. He followed suit, climbed up the bronze statue to examine it, and then pulled an ugly little bronze monkey out of the bird-faced human's mouth.

"This monkey is even uglier..."

The two then turned their attention to the sculptures enshrined on the jade platform...

"This offering to the ghost is even uglier...it's an eyesore. Is it a waste of incense to offer this?"

Fatty Wang continued to comment with a series of clicks of his tongue.

The main principle is to ensure everyone benefits equally, so no one can escape...

"This might be the distorted 'Eternal Heaven' worshipped in the Eastern Xia civilization..."

Hua Heshang was unsure of the exact location.

Just then, the bearded man, who had overheard him, strode over with his long legs. He raised his hand and delivered a powerful slap, causing the monk Hua to stumble.

"Don't you dare drag our Eternal Heaven into this! Or I'll beat you to death!!!"

Hua the monk held his head in grievance, not daring to speak out, and slunk back to Chen Pi's side.

Su Li moved closer to Hei Xiazi.

"Blind man, what is the Eternal Heaven?"

He remembered that when he first met Hei Xiazi, he seemed to have called out "Chang Sheng Tian" (Eternal Heaven).

Black Bear casually patted his head.

"It's a belief..."

It looks really classy.

"So your faith is in the Eternal Heaven?" Su Li asked, tilting her head.

"I don't believe it! A blind man's faith is in gold and silver! No, wait, a blind man's faith now is in spirit stones, hehehe, little Ali~"

Su Li casually handed him a spirit stone.

Black Bear accepted it with a grin.

"The Eternal Heaven is the supreme god of us Mongols, the endless sky. This damned thing is talking about the Eternal Heaven, who are they trying to disgust!"

"Blind man, aren't you a Manchu?"

"My mother is Mongolian, a pearl of the Mongolian grasslands!"

Speaking of this, Hei Xiazi couldn't help but show a particularly proud smile. Seeing that the child didn't quite understand, he even gave a special explanation.

“Eji means mother.”

This was the first time Su Li had heard Hei Xiazi talk about his family, and she looked at him with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to continue.

But Black Bear just gave a wicked chuckle and said nothing more...

I'm so angry...

Zhang Qiling and Xie Yuchen, who were watching Hei Xiazi tease the child, surprisingly did not punish him. Instead, they turned around to examine their surroundings.
