Chapter 604: The Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Demon Tower
At the other end of the chain bell bridge was a high platform rising from the bottom of the abyss, and an altar was also built on top of the high platform, and strangely enough, the altar was not the end, on the other side of the altar there seemed to be a similar chain bridge, and on the other side of the chain bridge was the same cliff as they were.
Of course, if this is the case, then it may not make Lu Changan and Yuan Yi think that it is not much different from hell, what really makes people's scalps tingle is that thousands of chains hang from the top of the cave, and each chain has a corpse hanging on it.
Most of the corpses hanging from the lava were black, as if they had been roasted into black coal.
However, the shape of these corpses is indeed very well preserved, except that they resemble black charcoal, but they can still be seen in human form, not after so many years, weathered only bones.
"This ...... Who are these people? Are they all people who haven't walked over before?" Yuan Yi couldn't help but feel a little tingling as he looked at the thousands of black charcoal-like corpses hanging in front of him.
Hearing Yuan Yi's words, Lu Changan didn't answer directly, just shook his head, and then frowned and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it's not ......."
"What is that? It can't be ......" Yuan Yi suddenly thought of something, his whole face changed, and his eyes became a little different when he looked at the corpses hanging in mid-air.
"Well, if you guessed correctly, it should be the bones of those immortals who died during the Great War of Immortals and Demons. Lu Changan's voice was a little heavy, the reason why he said this was because he could feel that there was no demonic energy in these corpses, but there were some traces of being nourished by spiritual power.
In addition, the bone age of each of these corpses is more than hundreds of thousands of years, and these corpses have not shown a trace of decay here for so many years, combined with their own speculation, so Lu Changan said this to Yuan Yi.
"Didn't you say that this Nine Turns Heavenly Demon Pagoda was originally called the Nine Turns Sealed Demon Tower, and it was the magic weapon of our Taoist ancestor, how could it be ......" Yuan Yi looked at the many corpses hanging in front of him in disbelief, and asked in some surprise.
"Well, because it was robbed by the demons later, and refined this tower as their demon weapon, this tower has always been in the hands of the demons in the later stage. Lu Changan nodded and spoke.
"With the hatred of the demon clan for the immortal world and the immortal cultivators, it is not surprising that their corpses are hung here. ”
"But this is too cruel, so many bones, how many immortals must have died here. Yuan Yi's eyes widened, looking at the corpses that fell on them like black charcoal, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
Although he hadn't really experienced that period, he could also imagine how cruel the war must have been at that time, with tens of thousands of people dying almost every day, not only immortal cultivators, but also ordinary people. And the pleasure of hanging here is probably only a small part of it.
"Don't think about it so much, the most important thing for us at the moment is to defeat the ghosts, not to let the demons come back, and not to let more innocent people be persecuted by the demons and become the people in front of them. Lu Changan sensed that something was wrong with Yuan Yi, and couldn't help patting Yuan Yi's shoulder and opening his mouth to comfort.
"Well, I know. Yuan Yi nodded, threw away all the messy thoughts in his heart, and then asked Lu Changan, "Then Master, let's go quickly, we have just reached the fourth layer now, and we are still far from the ghost Ge." ”
"Well, let's go. Lu Changan said, and took the lead in stepping on the chain bridge.
As soon as I stepped on the chain bridge, the chain bridge shook a little because of the sudden load-bearing, and the bells on the chain bridge rang under the shaking. For a moment, the whole cave was filled with the sound of bells.
The bells do not ring uniformly, but there are first and last, light and heavy, so the sound of so many bells is really unbearable after they all ring in a mess.
The moment the bell rang, Lu Changan felt his head dizzy, and then a nauseous feeling welled up in his stomach. Lu Changan suddenly stopped, not daring to move again.
However, the bell will not stop ringing because Lu Changan did not move, the few steps Lu Changan just took seemed to have touched some switch, and the switch was on at this time.
If you want the bell not to ring, you can only find the switch off, and this switch off is time. Lu Changan may continue to ring the bell if he doesn't move now, but if he stays still for a long time, when all the force that the bell has just received disappears and the chain bridge returns to calm, the bell will also return to silence.
Lu Changan was still thinking about why the demon clan didn't send someone to guard it on the fourth layer, but now it seems that even if there is no one to guard this fourth layer, it is not so easy to break through.
The sound of the bell constantly surrounded Lu Changan's ears, even if Lu Changan turned off his hearing and consciousness, the sound of the bell could still be heard clearly.
Lu Changan endured the discomfort and looked back at Yuan Yi behind him, because he had only taken two steps just now, and Yuan Yi was following him, so he hadn't followed him up to the chain bridge.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Yuan Yi was looking at Lu Changan anxiously, and subconsciously wanted to go up to the chain bridge to investigate Lu Changan's situation.
"Don't come here!" Lu Changan squatted down and shrunk into a ball, covering his head with his hands, because he was too anxious to shout out, his voice was a little fierce.
"This ......" Yuan Yi was taken aback, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and the foot that had just stretched out to step onto the chain bridge was also retracted, just staring anxiously at Lu Changan, who was only two steps away from him on the bridge.
"Didn't you hear?" Lu Changan covered his head, and his whole face shrunk together, looking very painful.
"I ...... I heard it, I don't move, I don't move, but what's wrong with you, Master?" Yuan Yi didn't understand what Lu Changan meant for a while, so he was anxious, but he took two steps back under his feet, for fear that something would happen to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan was a little helpless, covering his head with one hand, and wanting to hammer something with the other, but thinking that there was a chain bridge under him, he didn't know how long the sound of the bell would ring as long as he hammered it, so he held back and clenched his fists tightly.
"I mean, don't you hear anything there? like the sound of a bell?"
"Ah, the sound of the bells? No, Master, do you mean the ones hanging on the bridge? Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, his retreating footsteps also stopped, and he hurriedly replied to Lu Changan.
