78. Mausoleum
I smiled and did not speak, but as soon as I turned and jumped into the carriage, I felt that the carriage had not left for a long time, and when I poked my head out to take a look, I found an old woman standing in front of the carriage.
"Are you going to the princess's mausoleum?" the old woman was full of wrinkles and emaciated, but her eyes were bright, she was wearing a tattered dress, and she had a few decent patches, and she was holding a pot of food in her hand, which was a common food in the village, goat's milk roast, which was made of cakes thickened with goat's milk, full of milky fragrance, I was full of praise for this, but in the car, I bought a lot of such special food.
"Princess's Mausoleum?" I looked and pointed to the west.
The old woman nodded: "You still don't want to go, there are demons and monsters everywhere, we came out of the surrounding area, there were some man-eating beasts around the princess's mausoleum before, terrible tight, terrible tight!"
I felt that the old woman's expression was a little unnatural, but I still arched my hand and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law!" But as soon as I finished speaking, the old woman disappeared in place......
I looked around in shock and never saw the old woman again, and Xiyu looked at me in disbelief: "Who are you talking to?"
I couldn't help but feel a chill on my spine, and I calmed down: "Shicai, this old woman, don't you see it?"
"You...... Don't scare me!" Xiyu gritted her teeth, obviously she was scared by me.
I snorted, "Teasing you, let's go west, there seems to be something interesting somewhere." β
The carriage ran all the way, crossed two bridges, and finally came to a remote corner, which was a big mountain, and a barren mountain, surrounded by dead wood, charred and black, and it was evident that the woods here had been burned by a fire, because the ground was very hard, and the stones on the road were all charcoal black.
But this is just a wasteland, where is there a princess mausoleum, I got out of the car, looked around, but found nothing.
Maybe the light around was a little dim, and there were stones all over it, Xiyu also got out of the car timidly, and said softly: "What are you doing here? I always feel that there is something unclean ......around."
"Don't scare yourself. I walked to the foot of the largest barren mountain and sat on a rock: "This seems to be a spiritual place, have you noticed that this place is all scorched wood, suspiciously, there is no scorched smell around, more of a strange aura, it is a flame aura......"
"Flame aura?" Xiyu didn't know why, "Why can't I feel it?"
"Of course, you don't see how much you cultivate. I smiled, I followed the source of the extension of the aura, and gradually groped to the other side of the mountain, there is a stone tablet, this stone tablet is very old, and even the words on it are almost rotten, but one by one the deformed words, I don't recognize, only the strange big bird with the appearance of a phoenix on it attracted my attention.
I stroked the craggy stele and said, "It's a totem, it seems that something important is buried here." β
As soon as the words fell, I took out the Thor halberd and excavated towards the ground for a while, but unfortunately the Thor halberd, which was originally a murderous weapon, became a shovel in my hand at this time, I dug for a while, and saw a bulging spar, and Xiyu is a girl, naturally likes such shiny things, she leaned over and said: "It's a gem!"
"Wait!" But I didn't have time to stop it, I naturally felt that this gem was something strange, but Xiyu's hand had already touched this gem, and the surrounding square inch of land began to loosen, and the two of us actually fell, this is a huge pit!
Fortunately, the passage was very short, and the two did not fall and get hurt.
"It's so dark!" Xiyu groped in the dark, maybe she fell on her ass, she grinned in pain, and cried.
I lit a fire fold and quickly lit a torch, this torch was a must-have item in my storage space, but the lights lit up the surroundings, and the two of them saw that the place where they were was actually a hill of skeletons!
Xiyu approached me and wanted to find a support, but unexpectedly fell to me, because the skeletons under my feet are covered with moss, very slippery, I hugged Xiyu, down the open space of Skull Mountain, but in the surroundings, it is very grandiose, the ground is paved with stone slabs, and there are many murals painted on the walls, but because of the age, many paintings have been incomplete, after all, the time for pigments to keep fresh is also limited.
"What the hell is this place?" Xiyu was terrified, how could she, who had been pampered since she was a child, see such a cruel scene, that Skull Mountain was made of thousands of skeletons, which means that a lot of people died here.
I raised the torch and moved to see a gate in the distance: "These are supposed to be the Martyrs." β
"You mean, this is a mausoleum?" Xiyu covered her cherry mouth.
I nodded, "Did you know?"
"You, you, why did you come to such a ghost place? Don't say a word to me!!You, you, you're dead!" Xi Yu was about to beat, but she heard a series of harsh sounds, and the stone door in the distance actually opened on its own, such a strange phenomenon made her suddenly quiet.
I was about to move forward, but I was stopped by Xiyu: "Don't, don't go, okay? I'm afraid of ......"
"I'm here, you're so scared, if you want to die, I'll die first. I smiled, I still walked forward, although Xiyu was timid in her heart, but her courage increased invisibly.
She followed closely behind me, and I couldn't bear it, so I gently grabbed Xiyu's hand.
It's just that behind the stone gate, there is a long passage, this is a volley bridge, it is a little strange to say, under this bridge is a darkness, the surrounding is very spacious, as if a suspension bridge is above the abyss, I broke off a piece of sawdust, threw it down, and found that there is a bottomless figure below, the firelight fell far away, has been turned into a faint light, disappeared in the field of vision of the two.
I thought I could see farther and more clearly with one eye than others, but at this time, I couldn't see the falling of the sawdust......
"Follow me, don't look down!" I said sternly.
Xiyu responded obediently, she kept looking at her hand in the world, and grabbed it with mine, and the corner of her mouth flashed with a smile that was not easy to catch.
The suspension bridge lasted for a long time, about three or four hundred meters long, and I gradually came to the other side of the suspension bridge, but at this time, I heard a roar from under the abyss, although it was very slight, but I still heard it, but just as I was about to speak, a black shadow appeared out of thin air, and suddenly flew out from under the abyss, and actually destroyed the suspension bridge!
"The way back was cut off, what should I do?!" Xiyu exclaimed.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, there must be a way out, by the way, did you bring dry food?"
"I brought two mutton sandwiches, are you hungry?" Xiyu looked at me and had already taken out the cakes.
I looked back: "I'm afraid the road here is too long, and we will starve to death before we can get out." β
"Are you worried about me?" Xiyu's big eyes flickered and looked at me blankly.
I laughed and said, "I'm worried that no one will cook for me!"
"Die!"
β¦β¦
But I was greeted by a spacious labyrinth, which was so complicated that I walked for an hour without seeing the exit, but instead lost the entrance.
Just when I couldn't help it, Xiyu suddenly took out a rope ball: "I have a way!"
"What's the solution?" I skeptical.
I saw Xiyu tie the rope to a small stone, and she stuffed the stone into the dirt: "Let's pull this rope and go forward, and then we can find the path we have walked and avoid taking the same path ourselves." β
This is a good idea, I touched Xiyu's head and said, "Look at your stupid brain, can you really come up with some solutions?"
"Who's stupid, who's stupid! Even if you're stupid, I thought about it, you didn't expect it, it means that you're more stupid than me!"
I didn't say much, I continued to walk along the rope, and after repeating the distance for a long time, I came to a relatively empty place, but this place has rows of stone statues, their clothes are very strange, but they are wearing a phoenix totem on their chests, I took a closer look, only to find that these hundreds of stone statues are as high as three meters, and the weapons in their hands are all made of stainless steel, and they are coated with oil, so they are all very sharp now, and the other hand of these people is carrying a large shield, the height of this big shield is not inferior to the height of people, it is two and a half meters long, and there are countless lion heads inlaid on itγ
"No exit?" Xiyu looked around.
At this time, I came to a stone statue early, and I peeled off some of the fragments on the stone statue, and I was surprised to find that it was ......
"Xiyu, let's go!"
