Chapter 9: The Hall of Terror
Duan Lao's words can always drop a bombshell in Qin Zheng's heart at the most critical time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It wasn't until a few of them had already entered the temple that Qin Zheng intermittently learned something about this temple from Old Duan.
To be precise, this can no longer be called a temple, but called a heavenly prison, it turns out that in Duan Lao's world, the place where they stay is called the Heavenly Palace, and there is a heavenly prison under the Heavenly Palace, which is specially used to imprison some powerful and extremely evil people.
The special black pigment painted on the heavenly prison is ground with a plant called meditation grass, and one of the functions of meditation grass is to make people calm down, reduce the manic mood of the imprisoned, and understand it well, according to the old man, in this environment for thousands of years, no matter how wild the tiger's temper can be smoothed out, but he also doesn't know why those people in the heavenly palace want to build such a big heavenly prison after they came here, because when their world collapsed, those people in the original heavenly prison were annihilated with the collapsed world, and they did not bring any unforgivable sins to this world。
"Prisons are naturally used to lock things up, and they are built so big because there are so many things. As a bystander, from a logical point of view, Qin Zheng can see it very clearly.
As for what's locked up inside, or who it is, we'll have to look to find out, but they're in the darkness where they can't see their fingers, and there's not a single ray of light in this 'temple'.
"Hmmm. ”
A faint light of a candle lit up in the darkness, and it turned out that the wind chimes had inadvertently found the candlestick and lit the fire with flint.
By the light of the candles, everyone could finally see the corner of the hall they were in, it was a very spacious hall, with dark columns, dark ceilings, everything, all the books;
This made Qin Zheng very curious, what kind of violent things they were imprisoning, so they needed to use so much meditation grass juice.
In the center of the hall was a red carpet on which they were standing, far away, with no end in sight.
On both sides of the carpet are a round column every ten meters, carved with countless tumbling cloud totems, Duan Lao said, the clouds represent hope in them, but they are hoping for something
Behind the columns was the space in the side hall of the hall, which was supposed to be very spacious, but at this time it was crowded to the air, and what filled such a large space was a dilapidated coffin with a brownish red color.
The age of the coffin looks a little old, the wood has aged a lot, and there are basically small holes in the corners and corners that have been bitten, and occasionally some black filaments can be seen leaking out of the small holes, which seem to be hair.
They were surrounded by countless coffins, and a chilling wind blew through the back of their necks, Coco shivered coldly, half of his body was already leaning on Panpan's body, and the little monster Panpan at this time seemed to be a little weak, while clinging to Coco tightly, he grabbed Xiao Baozi's arm tightly, and then shrank behind Qin Zheng.
Xiao Baozi's face had begun to turn from white to cyan, which was completely frightened, his whole body was already stiff, and he couldn't even feel that Pan Pan was grabbing his arm hard.
Lin Xiyu and Feng Chi'er were also discolored, and they all took a step back and directly took out their weapons.
"Jingle Bells"
The bell of the wind chime jingled, and the deterrent effect did not work, but it frightened everyone, and the sound was exactly the same as the soul-inducing ringtone.
"Ling'er, put away your bell, I'...... I can't hear it right now. Lin Xiyu's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and there was a rare hint of begging in his voice.
The friendship between women and women is sometimes really strange, especially Lin Xiyu and Feng Chime, two women who are both good looks, although the relationship is harmonious, but they still inevitably compare each other secretly, so even if Lin Xiyu and Feng Chime are already friends, but under normal circumstances, she will not ask Feng Chime for help, and this performance at this time shows that she is really a little scared.
"Hmm. The wind chimes answered softly and put the bell away again, but at this moment, the crisp bell sounded again.
"Jingle Bells"
Everyone looked at the wind chimes with the bricks brushed, only to see that she was also confused, because this time, it was not the sound of her bells.
At this moment, another extremely cold wind blew......
Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ...... Jingle bells
The sound of bells filled the hall in an instant, and everyone was horrified to find that a small bell hung from the lid of the coffin that surrounded them.
The wind blew in through the doors of the temple, just above the bells, and so there was this never-ending jingling sound, until the sudden gust of wind dissipated, and the silence in the hall slowly returned.
"It turned out to be a soul-attracting bell. Lin Xiyu suddenly exclaimed, even the fiery candlelight did not make her face more bloody.
"What is the Soul Attracting Bell?" Qin Zheng may be one of the calmest and most calm people now, he originally came from an inhuman state, how could he be afraid of some inhuman things, and the same is true for gods and ghosts.
"I heard my grandfather say that there are some religious sacrifices, all of which are sacrificed by living people, most of this situation appeared in the early days, of course, there are still a few now, but because after those people die, sometimes there will be a situation where the body and soul do not leave, so a very powerful zombie is formed, so the sacrificers will identify it as a divine punishment from heaven, thinking that their sacrifice is not perfect enough, so after each sacrifice, a small bell will be hung on the coffin head of these sacrificed people, this small bell is called the soul bell, so that the souls of these people after death do not lose their way and go towards the place where the bell ringsIn order to lead these souls to the Western Blissful Land, the coffin head is generally placed facing west. ”
"There are so many soul-attracting bells, so many coffins, could it be that the people inside died for sacrifice?" Xiao Baozi forced himself to scan the coffin around him, and felt that his body seemed to be a little colder, and he leaned towards Panpan a little unconsciously.
"Not true. Qin Zheng frowned, no matter from which angle this matter, there was an indescribable wrongness, "They are already gods, who else do they need to sacrifice?"
