The cave was at least dozens of meters tall, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The bottom was the size of a football field.
Moreover, he could see that the ground was very flat. It was obvious that it had been man-made.
In the middle of the cave, there was a circular altar with three floors.
In the middle of the altar, there was a white altar that was more than one meter tall.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the cave.
He had not expected that the secret passage in the back hall would not lead to the underground palace, but to such a huge cave.
What was going on?
"Brother Chen, didn't you say that this is the passage to the underground palace? Why did he come to the altar? Did we come to the wrong place?"
"That's right," Chen Yulou said firmly. This altar should be a part of the tomb.
There were precedents for this in ancient times. This type of tomb was called the 'Mausoleum Sacrificial', which was to add an altar to the foundation of the mausoleum.
The ancients would first hold a funeral in the mausoleum palace to mourn the dead, then pay homage to their ancestors on the altar and pray for blessings before burying the dead in the underground palace.
"Therefore, it's reasonable for us to come down from the Mausoleum Palace to the altar.”
Elder Luo said impatiently," Chief, stop giving us lessons. Tell us what we should do next."”
"Look, there are many caves like ours around this cave. Do you think one of those caves leads to the underground palace?"”
Everyone looked over and saw that there were some caves of different sizes on the rock wall at the bottom of the cave.
These caves were very similar to the one they had just walked out of. They should be naturally formed caves.
" It's not impossible," Chen Yulou muttered." It's just that there are so many caves. I don't know which one is it."”
Elder Luo slapped his thigh and said," Isn't that easy? We'll know once we send people in to check!"”
Chen Yulou said," Of course, we have to check. However, we have to make some preparations in case there is danger inside."”
At this moment, Wu Hao suddenly frowned and said,"Could it be a coincidence?"
"Brother Wu, what do you mean by coincidence?" asked Hugushao curiously.”
"Did you count the number of caves?" Wu Hao asked.”
"Not including the one we just passed, there are seven more caves.”
"So, there are a total of eight caves here, corresponding to eight entrances. Do you know Qimen Dunjia?"”
When Hugushao and Chen Yulou heard the words Qimen Dunjia, their expressions changed at the same time. They said thoughtfully,""Could it be the Eight Gates?"
Wu Hao nodded and said,"That's right. The eight caves here correspond to the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia."
However, this is just a baseless guess. Perhaps it's just a coincidence.”
"Boss, what are you talking about?" Aunty Hong asked with a confused expression. Why can't I understand? What Qimen Dunjia? What eight gates?"
"That's right, my dear brothers. What kind of riddles are you talking about?" Old Luo said with a dumbfounded expression.
What seven holes and eight acupoints? You're making me miss my seventh wife.
To be honest, I've been thinking of marrying another concubine recently. If it succeeds, I'll really have eight acupoints.”
Old Luo said obscenities as he peeked at Hong Nu lecherously.
Seeing this, Hong Nu glared at him and cursed," Hooligan." She turned her face away and ignored him.
Wu Hao explained to the two of them," Qimen Dunjia, as the name suggests, is 'Buqimen Escaping Armour.' It's an ancient technique for arranging troops, strategizing, and divination.
It was said that Chiyou led the Jiuli tribe to rebel, and the Yellow Emperor led his troops to attack, but they could not win.
Later on, he was fortunate enough to be taught the Qimen Dunjia technique by the Nine Heavenly Maiden, which allowed him to destroy the Chiyou army.
Its contents were mysterious and complicated, and it was difficult to comprehend. Anyone who could see the sky would become a famous figure in the world.
It was said that Jiang Taigong, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen had benefited greatly from it.”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at him with admiration.
Hua Ling opened her big eyes and looked at Wu Hao with sparkling eyes."Little Brother Wu, you really know a lot! However, you haven't told everyone what Qimen Dunjia has to do with these eight caves.”
"The Wonder Gates are divided into eight gates: Opening, Rest, Life, Wound, Du, Jing, Death, and Shock.
Each door corresponded to a good or bad outcome. The door of life corresponded to life, the door of death corresponded to death, and so on.
If these eight caves really corresponded to the Eight Gates of Qimen and Dunjia, then it would be troublesome. Some of the gates would definitely contain extremely difficult dangers!”
Hua Ling nodded thoughtfully.
When everyone heard this, they all revealed a troubled expression.
Chen Yulou was indeed the leader of Xie Ling. He said heroically,
"Since we're already here, no matter how dangerous it is, we can't easily retreat!
However, Brother Wu's reminder is right. Since there might be hidden dangers in the cave, we must be extremely vigilant and careful!
Marshal Luo, let's each choose seven capable experts from our subordinates and form seven two-man teams to scout the way together!”
Old Xie Luo was already impatient from waiting. He immediately slapped his thigh and said,
"Deal! He was just waiting for the boss to say this! Adjutant Yang, pick seven experts and hand them over to the commander!”
