It passes through the base of the auspicious cloud, then goes straight into the majestic and continuous mountains, and finally falls into a low valley at the foot of the mountains.
In the valley.
It is covered with dense forests, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, colorful butterflies and strange beasts.
Most conspicuous.
It is a giant python that is intertwined with an ancient banyan tree.
The three of them looked up and exchanged glances upon seeing this.
The valley seems to refer to the Insect Valley.
The place where the giant python is entwined with the ancient banyan tree seems to refer to this very spot where they are.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle finished reading the contents of the stone tablet.
I was deeply moved for a long time.
quite a while.
Chen Yulou then murmured, "Judging from the condition of this ancient banyan tree..."
"What is engraved on this stone tablet should all be true."
"But if you look at this celestial palace, it doesn't seem real."
Partridge Whistle nodded in agreement and replied, "Indeed."
“A palace built high in the sky is indeed impractical.”
"Moreover, it is a royal tomb."
"A royal tomb that is even more luxurious than the Heavenly Palace, built in the sky higher than a mountain, is indeed too exaggerated."
Li Xiaohu listened from the side and smiled bitterly to himself.
How should he explain this to the two of them?
Is everything engraved on this stone tablet true?
However, he cannot afford to waste time on this now.
So he said, "Brothers, you don't need to overthink it."
"The contents of the Zhenling Genealogy have been basically artistically processed and beautified."
"You can refer to it, but you can't take it completely seriously."
"Moreover..." Li Xiaohu pointed to the words "Heavenly Palace" on the stone tablet and continued.
"This celestial palace, perched above mountains and clouds, is not the tomb of the King Xian that you imagine."
"Instead, it was a Ming Tower built on the ground of the royal mausoleum, used by later generations to worship King Xian."
"The real tomb of the King Xian should be located below this Ming Tower."
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle nodded upon hearing this.
"good."
“Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been a tradition in my country for emperors to build a Minglou (a type of tower) on top of their royal tombs after they built them, so that future generations could worship them.”
"Wait a minute." Partridge Whistle suddenly noticed a problem.
"Since Brother Xiaohu says this is just a Ming Tower used for sacrificial purposes..."
"This means that after the King Xian was placed in his coffin, at certain specific times, people would still enter the Minglou to offer sacrifices."
"This can be determined based on relevant legends and records on human skin maps."
"In the Insect Valley, there is a patch of everlasting chrysanthemums, a sight that seems to defy time and fate, a place where birds sing and twitter, their cries echoing through the air!"
"How did those people who performed the sacrifices manage to cross this valley of insects and enter the Ming Tower to worship King Xian?"
Chen Yulou frowned and pondered for a while.
Suddenly, he pointed to the divine path leading to heaven on the stone tablet and tentatively asked, "Could it be that they entered the Ming Tower through this path?"
Li Xiaohu glanced at the two of them in surprise.
He hadn't expected that the two of them would be so perceptive in identifying the problem and so precise in finding a solution.
(Li Ma) then smiled and said, "I guess that's exactly right."
"This sacred path connects directly to the Minglou from the outer edge of the Insect Valley, which should indicate that it is possible to bypass the Insect Valley."

Chapter 175 - The Secret Entrance on the Outer Edge of Insect Valley! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were delighted to hear this.
But then, a look of trouble appeared on their faces.
Chen Yulou frowned and asked, "Even if there really is such a divine path that bypasses the poisonous miasma of the Insect Valley and leads directly to the Minglou, it must also be a secret passage."
"And it's a secret passage known to very few people!"
"If not."
"The human skin map should also be clearly marked."
The human skin map was drawn by refugees after the fall of the Xian Kingdom.
Among them were many core members of the Kingdom of Xian.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to draw such a detailed map of human skin.
Even so.
This sacred path leading directly to the Minglou was not marked on the human skin map.
Chen Yulou took out the human skin map and compared it again to confirm.
The map made of human skin did not mark the path of the gods.
But this time he discovered that on the human skin map, in the area surrounding the Insect Valley, there was a tiny toad.
Chen Yulou suddenly looked up at the rubbing of the Zhenling genealogy.
A toad was also drawn at both ends of the Shinto path! (450)
However, the toad on the Zhenling map does not look the same as the toad on the human skin map.
Chen Yulou was immediately caught in a dilemma again.
"I think the toad on the Zhenling Register should be the symbol of the entrance to the sacred path."
"There is also a toad on the human skin map, and its approximate location is the same, both in the outer area of the insect valley filled with poisonous miasma."
"But why are the two toads on the Zhenling Map open-mouthed, while the one on the human skin map has its mouth closed?"
Partridge Whistle was also confused.
Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly and explained, "Actually, you two don't need to worry about this."
"The people who drew the human skin map at that time may not have fully understood the entire panorama of the Xianwang Tomb; they may have only remembered some of its features."
“Since he also labeled it as a toad.”
"This 'toad symbol' must be the entrance to a secret passage that bypasses the Insect Valley and leads directly to the Minglou!"
Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and the others smiled in relief upon hearing this.
Chen Yulou laughed self-deprecatingly, "Brother Xiaohu is right."
"We've fallen into a habitual way of thinking, and for a moment we didn't know we should be more flexible."
Everyone smiled in relief.
Subsequently.
Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou began examining the Zhenling genealogy again.
Aside from those important details, there are no other significant clues in the Zhenling genealogy.
They are nothing more than mountains, rivers, clouds, and dragons and phoenixes as embellishments.
The three of them huddled together to discuss the matter.
It was confirmed that all that was needed was to continue deeper into the direction of the Insect Valley.
Then enter that area covered with chrysanthemums and other plants, and you'll find...
This will allow you to bypass the dangerous Insect Valley, go straight to Minglou, and then find the Tomb of King Xian!
After finalizing the plan.
Chen Yulou then instructed everyone to prepare and set off immediately.
This time, Chen Yulou left fifty men to set up camp again to be responsible for transit and support.
If the battle lines are stretched too thin.
If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for backup personnel to provide timely assistance.
