But General Weiwu's identity was evidently acknowledged by the other spirit beasts. Did this mean that spirit beasts were just animals that could practice?
Lin Yi believed that Elder Yu didn't know much about these things, either. He only knew a little bit, so he took it out to show off. The ancient sects, on the other hand, should know more about spirit beasts, but Lin Yi didn't have access to them at his level.
The path to the underground palace was full of twists and turns, but there was no danger. The group walked smoothly, and they reached the end in about a day.
At the end of the passageway was a square palace. The entire hall of the palace was very large, about the size of a football field. In the palace, there were only some pillars that seemed to be supporting the weight of the palace. Apart from that, there were no other decorations.
On the walls of the palace, there were countless eternal lanterns, and when they got here, everyone felt as if they had gone from darkness to light. The searchlight in Old Hei's hands was useless as well. The eternal lanterns weren't that bright, but they were no different from normal indoor lights.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmen's craftsmanship. These eternal lanterns were hundreds and thousands of years old, and yet they weren't extinguished. It was amazing!
But Old Hei and Xiaoke seemed to be used to it, so Lin Yi, Lingshan, and Yutian didn't show too much surprise.
"This is the underground palace? How come there's nothing here? And, why are these lanterns still on? "Elder Yu was an outsider, and he didn't know what was going on.
"Elder Yu, this isn't the underground palace, it's just the entrance to the palace!" Old Hei quickly explained. "Next, we need to find the real entrance to the underground palace. As for those eternal lanterns, they're common in super tombs, and they're said to be made from the fat of mermaids. "
"Oh? So that's the case, then what are we waiting for? You guys look for the entrance, I'll go get one for research. "Elder Yu said.
"No!" Old Hei quickly stopped him, "Elder Yu, this lamp can't be extinguished or removed, it might trigger some traps and trap us here!"
"Humph! This old man is just saying, this kind of trash is very common in the hidden families! " Elder Yu was pissed that Old Hei stopped him, but he didn't want to admit his wrongdoing- he started blabbering.
Old Hei smiled awkwardly at Elder Yu's arrogance, but didn't dare say anything.
"Flying sparrow, what do you think of the entrance?" Old Hei turned to Xiaoke.
"On the walls of the palace, there are many strange drawings. Perhaps the door to the underground palace is hidden within these drawings. Let's split up and search," Xiaoke said after looking around the palace.
"That's good. Let's split up. It'll be faster." Blackie nodded. "But don't act rashly if you find a trap."
"Of course!" Xiaoke nodded.
With that, Old Hei and Xiaoke started searching, and even Elder Yu joined in. Elder Yu was in a rush as well- he wanted to get into the underground palace as soon as possible to find the treasures and complete the mission to return to the hidden House Yu.
But Lin Yi didn't move, still standing in the middle of the palace.
Old Hei didn't dare to care about Lin Yi's lack of sociability, and Elder Yu was too lazy to care. He didn't want to embarrass himself, so he let Lin Yi stand in the middle of the palace.
Lin Yi didn't look at the murals, because the information Bojia gave Lin Yi did mention this palace before the entrance, but the key point wasn't the murals, but the stone pillars in the palace!
Bojia didn't say what was special about these pillars, but the reminder was good enough. After all, Bojia was guessing a lot of things, and he hadn't been here himself.
"Male thief, is there something special about these pillars?" Lingshan saw that Lin Yi's eyes were on the pillars.
"Yes, but I haven't discovered it yet. Look! "Lin Yi looked at one pillar first, and didn't find anything special. Lin Yi then looked at the other pillars, and didn't find anything out of place.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly. Perhaps he wasn't a professional in this area, so even if there was something special about these pillars, Lin Yi couldn't tell!
There wasn't any danger in this mechanism, so Lin Yi didn't need to use the jade's warning function. Lin Yi's jade didn't react at all when he stood in front of the pillars.
There were only a few paintings in the palace, and Old Hei, Xiaoke, and Elder Yu finished looking at them very quickly. They looked at each other again, but didn't find anything special. They were just normal paintings, like some kind of talisman that could make the dead feel at peace. There was nothing special about them.
"It seems like we went the wrong way- there's nothing special about these paintings," Xiaoke said. "The last painting is the melody of an elegy, and it's also to let the dead rest …"
"I'm afraid so." Old Hei was an experienced man, and he could tell that something was off.
"Then what do we do?" Elder Yu wasn't very happy- they'd been looking for so long, and they still hadn't found anything.
"Let's look at the male thief." Old Hei wasn't happy, but he had to admit that the male thief might've found something.
"Male thief, what did you find?" Elder Yu walked over and asked impolitely.
"Nothing, but there should be something special about these pillars. Flying sparrow, what do you think?" Lin Yi didn't know much about this, but he could give Xiaoke a hint.
"Oh?" Xiaoke hadn't thought about these pillars before, and now that Lin Yi reminded her, she paused. Could it be that there was something special about these pillars?
"Pillars?" Old Hei was also surprised. Normally, the stone pillars in ancient tombs were used to support the main hall and didn't have any other purpose. These things were different from stone statues and couldn't be moved. Normally, no one would use them as a mechanism, so he had forgotten about them as soon as he entered.
But since Lin Yi said that there was something wrong with these pillars, Old Hei felt that perhaps there really was something wrong with them?
