Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Emperor
Then the crowd began to enter and explore, and the entire complex was built on one side of the riverbed, and the ground was carved out of the mountain.
Xia Zihang walked in the city and looked at everything around him, sighed, and said: "Before the construction, this underground river should have plenty of water, and there should be other entrances and exits here." Look at the fact that many of the materials used in this building were stone blocks that were excavated nearby, while others were transported by this great river, which was very advanced technology at the time. It's a pity that although this complex is not small, it is not enough to pay attention to it. ”
Wang Xin asked curiously: "It's not enough to pay attention to this scale?"
"You underestimate the ancient emperors, if you pay attention to it, these mountain stone building materials are not in line with the rules, they need to be transported from the outside, you see that the ground is just a flat mountain, and it should be paved with jade at least according to the emperor's specifications. I don't know which king built it secretly, and it hasn't been completed yet, but it's a pity. There shouldn't be much to do here, so let's go straight to the highest palace. ”
Since the experts said so, everyone also saved the search and followed the road directly to the tallest building. There are a lot of strange stone carvings on both sides of the road, and there are many dead and withered plants, all the way, Xia Zihang sighed all the way and said: It's a pity... It's a pity ...
Just as everyone was leading to the main hall through the huge winding garden path, suddenly a yellow light floated out of the main hall, directly illuminating a large part of the place below.
As soon as he saw this situation, Xia Zihang hurriedly asked everyone to extinguish all the lighting equipment, anxiously beckoned everyone to lie on the ground, and sprinkled the water in the kettle around everyone, signaling everyone to be quiet and not to make a sound.
After a while, these Huang Yingying's rays of light flew farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared from sight, and only then did Xia Zihang beckon everyone to get up and continue to move forward, and urged everyone to speed up their pace.
"These lights are emitted by the emperor, the emperor's emperor, the palace's mother's, I didn't expect these things to be here. If I'm not mistaken, it's noon outside, and in two hours the ladies will be back, and we'll speed up. ”
Ye Bing asked, "Are these emperors very powerful?"
"It's not just powerful, it should be terrifying, so many people, I don't know how many lives were used to raise it. This thing is not a product of nature at all, it is an artificially cultivated terrifying creature, created by combining the rune techniques and Gu techniques of ancient cultivators. This kind of secret art has long been lost, I thought this kind of thing was extinct, but I didn't expect it to be here, hurry up, go quickly, they flew out of the main hall, they must have set up a nest somewhere, this is not right, let's go and see it and leave, this is not a place to stay for a long time, fast ~ fast ~ fast ~ "
This is the second time that Wang Xin has heard the word rune, and it seems that he needs to get to know this guy well after going out, and he said that the people are strange.
Under Xia Zihang's urging, everyone stopped paying attention to the surrounding buildings, and quickened their pace and came to the highest palace through the stairs. The gate of the palace is open, the hall of the black hole is like a monster with its mouth open, standing by the door through the light illumination, you can see that this is a very large hall, there are two rows of pillars to support the upper part, the deepest part of the door is an exaggerated seat, and on the two sides below are more than a dozen regular chairs, the surrounding decoration is very luxurious, and the light reflected by the gold and silver pearls can be seen through the light.
Xia Zihang urged: "Go in, find a lampshade or wax basin that can be lit, and light all the lighting devices that can still be lit, !! quickly."
After everyone went in, they searched for a while, and finally found seven or eight lighting devices with unknown oil around the hall. I didn't expect it to be usable after such a long time, and the entire hall illuminated this time was brightly lit, and the luxury and richness around it were indeed extraordinary.
Seeing the lights on, Xia Zihang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
Wang Xin asked: "Why did you turn off the lights when those things appeared just now, and now they are on fire?"
"As long as the emperor haunts the place, there must be a substance added to these lamp oils, this substance will volatilize a strange smell after burning, as long as this smell is there, those things will not dare to come, no matter how awesome things are, there are his natural enemies, this is the ancestral training passed down by the ancestors. ”
Now everyone began to look around the hall with peace of mind, to be honest, there were really no suitable treasures to take except for the luxurious decoration, and they would not move any large objects.
There should be another floor above the main hall, and before you enter, you can see that it is a two-story circular building, but you can't find a way to go up.
Since you can't find the channel, it's not a problem, the main thing is time. Xia Yihang repeatedly urged him to leave, no one could guarantee that these flames would be effective, and those emperors could come back at any time.
Wang Xin came outside, clicked on the ground with one foot, and the whole person rose from the ground, directly to the second floor more than ten meters high.
The whole second floor is not big, basically wooden mechanism, what is more strange is that there is a circle of chairs densely placed around the perimeter of this floor, as many as dozens, and in the middle is an erected high platform, on which is placed a large waxy lighting brazier, Wang Xin used a lighter to light it without thinking about anything.
On the other side of the brazier was a long dock of one ancient case, which was empty.
Through the walkie-talkie, Wang Xin told the situation seen above to the below, and as a result, the most authoritative Xia Yihang couldn't figure out why it was empty?
Wang Xin searched around again and finally found that in a circle of chairs on the second floor, he found that an old hiking rope was tied to it. At this time, I found that these chairs were all fixed to the ground, and it seems that someone had indeed come before, and they came up through this rope.
This discovery is not small, which shows that someone has really been here, maybe it is Ye Bing's father's group, and at the same time, this discovery has also made the whole team a lot excited, indicating that they have found the right place.
Just when they were happy, the wick in the second-floor ignited brazier became shorter and shorter as it burned, and in an instant the entire wax layer burned violently, and at the same time, a line of fire on the high platform connected to the brazier spread and burned rapidly, and the fire burned rapidly throughout the entire building complex along an inconspicuous groove in the ground.
In a moment, the fire triumphed, and the entire complex was illuminated, and everyone was stunned by what they saw.
At this time, the stairs in the square in front of the main hall began to collapse in a large area just now, and after a while, a hole about ten meters long and seven meters wide appeared.
When they came to the pit, they saw that it was a passageway, with a staircase on one side leading directly to the deeper ground. That's it, keep going.
Maintaining the previous formation, they entered the passage en masse with the lighting equipment. Not long after they entered the passage, the yellow light that had flown away before flew back again, the good news was that because of the presence of flames, they had been hovering around the periphery and did not dare to enter this complex, and the bad news was that this piece of flame was gradually getting smaller. It is estimated that because of time, most of the dyes available for combustion have volatilized, which is a miracle that it can burn.
The passage did not turn, but led them straight to the bottom of the main hall, where a huge and unimaginable crater appeared in front of them.
This pit is too big, and the lighting can't be seen at all, Ye Yi fired three flares to illuminate the surrounding area. With the help of the light, they finally saw the situation in this deep pit clearly, and in an instant, everyone's scalps were numb, and the hair on their bodies stood on end.
Inside the pit were a dense mass of dry corpses standing, the number of which was too numerous to count, and the heads of that piece looked like a black pool of water under the illumination of the flares, which was too strange and terrifying. These dried corpses didn't know how to get them, they were all standing in the pit, not decomposing and not falling to the ground, which made people frightened.
Xia Zihang sighed and said, "What if I tell you that they haven't completely died after thousands of years, do you believe it?"
Hiss~~ Everyone else gasped when they heard this, and their first thought was: How is this possible?
Xia Zihang continued: "If any of you go down and take a closer look, you will find that the entire surface of the pit is full of spells and runes, and these people also have runes engraved on their chests and backs. If you don't guess wrong, these people should be the craftsmen who built here, but it's a pity that all the people who built this place didn't escape, and all of them were used to train Huang'e, which is too miserable.
This kind of Huang'e is actually a kind of energy insect cultivated by combining a moth-like Gu worm with the soul of a living person, and cultivating it under the nourishment of the rune array and the qi of the leylines. This kind of insect is between an animal and an energy body, and it is impossible to kill them unless their main body, which is these dried corpses, is destroyed. ”
