The main hall occupies a large area, but there is not much. There is a dragon-shaped relief coiled in a circle in the middle of the ground. Around the hall, there are eight thick stone pillars that cannot be enclosed by two people with open hands. The stone pillars are carved with
Relief sculpture of a ferocious-looking beast.
Apart from this, there are only three tall stone screen walls, the one in the middle is the largest, and the ones on both sides are slightly smaller, blocking us directly in front.
"Brother Lin Kun, it seems he is there."
What is the mystery behind the screen wall is still unknown. The direction Caiyun is pointing is exactly the screen wall in front of us on the left.
Could it be that behind that screen wall is the bloody corpse of Rakshasa that we have been tracking down but have never been able to see its true appearance?
"You stay here first, Caiyun and I will go over and take a look first." I turned to Deyang Ram and said.
I took a look at the environment in front of me. Due to the obstruction of the screen wall, I couldn't determine what was going on behind, so I asked Deyang Ram to stay where he was. If I turned around and took a look at the screen wall, I would see the Rakshasa blood corpse waiting behind me.
Looking at us, although Deyang Ram is good at using medicine, his skill is not as good as Caiyun. Being scratched by that bloody corpse is enough to choke him.
"Caiyun, let's go there." I said to Caiyun.
"Yes." Caiyun nodded in response, then took out the gray powder for casting spells from her small satchel and held it in her hand.
Seeing that she was ready, I was also ready to go with my sword, one step ahead, and the two of us moved towards the back of the screen wall and touched it cautiously.
After bypassing the screen wall, there is still a corridor behind, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Caiyun, be careful, there's something going on!" I reminded Caiyun.
The two of us didn't dare to be careless, kept high alert, and sneaked into the corridor quietly.
The corridor is not long. After passing through the corridor, a slightly smaller side hall appeared in front of us. The scene in the side hall made Caiyun and I a little frightened for a moment.
There were about twenty corpses, scattered in every corner of the side hall, and the state of death was extremely tragic.
Almost all the blood on the corpses had drained away and gathered in low-lying areas on the ground, forming pools of blood like small ponds. The strong smell of blood was emitted by them.
"All dead?" I couldn't help but shudder.
Looking around, there was a man nailed to the wall by a crossbow with a thick arm. The powerful crossbow arrows were deeply embedded in the wall. The tail of the arrow was exposed outside the lower abdomen of the corpse. The splattered blood dyed the entire arrow cluster red.
Judging from the distorted expression on the deceased's face that was full of pain and despair, it seemed that he was not going to die immediately. He was suffering pain beyond the endurance limit of ordinary people before his blood flowed out.
Near the crucified man, there was a man whose head was smashed by a copper ball as big as a basketball and died. Red, white, blood, flesh and bones were scattered on the ground nearby, and the cracked skull was hanging down.
On the neck, the eyeballs protruded from the sockets, hung by nerves, and dropped to the chin.
"Brother Lin Kun, I'm so scared." Upon seeing this, Caiyun couldn't help but hide behind me.
"Don't be afraid."
Although the death of this person was tragic, he died immediately, which was much better than the one on the wall.
In addition, there were also people who had sharp spears emerging from the ground and inserted directly into their heads from their anus, and their whole bodies were strung into gourds of blood. There were also people whose bodies were pressed by boulders, with only one hand stretched out, and their whole bodies were crushed.
In the form of meatloaf.
There are many different forms of death in different postures.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that this group of people triggered the mechanism in the side hall, and as soon as they met, most of them were knocked down.
However, after taking a closer look at the scene, I found that there were other parts of the corpses. Compared with the corpses that died at the hands of the agency and died in different forms, they seemed to have suffered another kind of horror.
I walked into the side hall, carefully avoiding several pools of blood on the ground, and squatted down next to a corpse.
This is a young man in his twenties. This person's fatal injury was on his chest, and his heart was penetrated.
There was a big hole the size of a fist, and the heart that should have been there was missing. It looked like the heart had been ripped out by the claws of some ferocious beast.
The man's posture was stiff at the moment before his death. He leaned against the wall, his body was slumped in the corner, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the hole in his chest in disbelief, and he died.
I stood up and looked at several other similar corpses. They were all basically the same. Some had their abdominal cavities emptied, and some had their necks scratched. There were also some traces of struggle left on a few corpses, but in the end they were all the same.
It was impossible to escape death, and he suffered more pain before death. Each body had fractures of varying degrees. What's more, the whole person was violently broken backwards, and there were still indescribable injuries on his face.
look of fear.
"Lin Kun?" Before I could look away from the body, I heard Deyang Ram's gasping question from behind. Looking back, I didn't know when Deyang Ram had followed me, and he was standing right now.
At the entrance of the side hall, he looked at the corpses on the ground with a look of horror.
I called out to Caiyun, and the two of them withdrew from the side hall and came to Deyang Ram.
"How is it?" Deyang Ram asked.
"Many people died."
"Is it a Rakshasa bloody corpse?"
I nodded, it was probably done by the blood corpse of Rakshasa.
In addition to the corridor leading to the main hall, there is another entrance on the other side of the side hall. So it is obvious that that entrance is the way the Yunnan group came, so there is no need to go in and check.
Behind the huge stone screen wall in the center, there is also an entrance to the corridor. Compared with the side halls on both sides, this entrance appears taller.
Two dragon-shaped reliefs are entrenched on both sides of the entrance, winding upwards. The dragon heads are located above the corridor, facing each other, with tongues of fire spitting out from their mouths. In the middle of the intersection of the tongues of fire, there is a dragon ball rolling in the middle.
In this corridor, there are several corpses lying scattered, extending all the way inside. It seems that this group of people did not die in the side hall, and some people escaped here and were caught up with the "murderer"
Kill them one by one.
"Why did the Rakshasa Blood Corpse kill his own people?" Deyang Ram asked.
"This is also the question I want to ask."
Avoiding the corpses on the ground, we quickly walked through the corridor and arrived in front of a square.
However, the scale of this square is much smaller than the previous one. There is a towering palace at the end of the square, surrounded by steep cave walls, wrapping these buildings in the heart of the mountain.
Directly in front of the square is a tall stone archway, with five thick pillars supporting it below. There is a roof spanning across it, with brackets extending out, and beautifully carved, with lifelike animals hovering above it.
Passing through the door of the archway, there is a five-hole sacred road bridge at the back.
The bridge body is built on the flat ground. It has bridges but no piers. It is carved from pieces of white marble. Although it has lasted for more than two thousand years, the bridge body is still intact. Walking on the bridge feels like walking on the road to the underworld that leads directly to the underworld.
, looking forward, the palace at the end looks like a ghost palace.
After crossing the bridge, statues of stone men and animals are neatly placed along both sides of the brick path, extending all the way to the steps of the palace.
Along the way, I looked up from time to time and marveled at these stone statues with exquisite carvings and miraculous craftsmanship. “I never thought that such a majestic underground tomb complex could be built more than two thousand years ago.
Before this, I always felt that this ancient tomb was very simple, but it turned out to be a cave of its own."
"What's the use of building such a luxurious tomb after you die? Besides, we can't move it away. We can only live it for a while." Deyang Ram said.
"You're right, indeed, it wastes people and money." I nodded.
But the closer I got to the palace at the end of the square, the more alarm bells started ringing in my heart. Behind that open door, an unconcealed ferocity was rushing towards me.
I turned my head and gave Caiyun a look. Caiyun understood and nodded, with a serious look on his pretty face.
, with the sensitivity of the Gu insect she refined, she was able to detect the chilling atmosphere in the palace early on.
I pulled Deyang Ram behind me and motioned for her to follow us slowly. Then Caiyun and I walked through the brick path lined with stone statues and cautiously climbed up the steps of the palace.
Close to the gate outside the palace, I quietly poked my head half out and quickly glanced at the situation inside.
The hall was quiet, with no one around. In the middle was a stone platform over half a meter high. There wasn't much on the stone platform, only a smooth stone over a foot high. There was a slight depression in the middle of the stone.
When it is lifted up, it seems that it can just fit a person's head down.
On both sides of the stone, there are two rows of stone piers with some fist-thick sockets on them, which look a bit like holes for flags.
In addition, there is a bronze statue about sixty centimeters high and fifty centimeters wide placed on the stage.
"This is - Soul-Souling Pagoda?"
Although I have never seen this so-called soul-suppressing pagoda, when this thing actually appeared in front of me, I was still a little stunned.
"This is not only a magic weapon, but also an exquisite ritual vessel. No wonder Heiyun Village wants to enshrine it in the ancestral hall."
But now is not the time to appreciate it. Since Yunnan has taken out the Soul-Calming Pagoda, it means they are nearby.
Caiyun and I looked at each other and sneaked into the palace quietly. After walking around the stone platform, we could see that behind it, there was an entrance extending down to the ground at an angle of about thirty degrees.
The ferocious power spreads out from within.
I looked inside and saw that the entrance was not long, about twenty or thirty meters. At the end of it, I could vaguely see a corner of the interior of the coffin room. Some stone furnishings were swaying here and there, and there seemed to be a scene going on inside.
Fierce fighting.
Just when Caiyun and I were about to go deeper, there was a sudden violent collision in the coffin room at the end of the entrance. Then, we could clearly feel that two figures were chasing each other and running away towards the hall where we were.
Coming at a gallop.
Caiyun and I quickly retreated, trying to find a place to hide first.
However, before we could turn over and run out of the palace, a tall figure had already appeared at the entrance of the passage.
It is about the same height as me, with no covering from top to bottom, revealing a body covered with black hair. Its face is not much different from that of a normal person, except that its complexion is ashen, its eye sockets are sunken, and its eyeballs are red.
It emits a penetrating cold light.
The lips are turned outward, and two wild boar-like fangs stick out. There seems to be some meat foam left between the teeth, and the corners of the mouth are stained with blood. The five fingers are slightly open, and the black nails are more than an inch long and glowing with metal.
As lustrous as a knife, sharp as a knife.
"This... this is not the blood corpse of Rakshasa, but..." I thought of the owner of this tomb, the founder of Heiyun Village.
Just looking at its current appearance, it is completely a black-haired zombie, and there is no trace of Bansi's demeanor as the leader of the Yun clan who founded Heiyun Village. Even the figure of a woman has been completely blurred.
It seemed to have suffered a lot at the hands of the Rakshasa Blood Corpse, with scars all over its body. Purple-black blood as thick as asphalt slowly seeped out from its wounds, and the entire palace was suddenly filled with thick blood.
The corpse smell that doesn't open up.
More importantly, under the skin of this black-haired zombie, there is a long and thin thing that is constantly moving. Although the zombie's skin is dark and old, this change can still be clearly seen.
"This is...the Millennium Gu King?" I couldn't help but guess.
Apart from the Thousand-Year Gu King, I can't think of anything else that can live in a zombie's body for thousands of years without dying.
"Caiyun, be careful." I said in my mouth, and Caiyun and I slowly backed away, not daring to look away from the black-haired zombie for a moment.
