Chapter 427: The Burial Chamber
The stone corridor was silent, except for the faint sound of the mermaid oil burning.
The subtle sounds of the countless lampholders combined were no more than the sound of breathing.
However, it was the sound of undulating breathing that made people feel creepy.
Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng looked at the bottomless stone corridor, although the stone corridor had a blazing lamp base every ten meters, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. However, at the end of the stone corridor, it was still extremely dark.
And in that extreme darkness, as if hiding a man-eating monster, opened its bloody mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to enter its mouth by itself, and then quickly closed its mouth.
Liu Xi took a deep breath and walked forward.
Qiu Changsheng had a faint smile on his face, and followed Liu Xi unhurriedly.
"Guess what's waiting for us inside?" Qiu Changsheng asked.
"No need to guess. Liu Xi said.
Qiu Changsheng smiled slightly, as if he understood Liu Xi's words, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked along the stone corridor to the depths.
A few days ago, the end of the stone corridor seemed to be in the distant sky, Liu Xi walked for a while, and the surrounding area was still exactly the same repeated stone corridor, and the end was still in the distance of the lights.
Finally, the two of them reached the end of the stone corridor, and at the end of it was a cliff as straight as a knife.
Liu Xi glanced down at the cliff at her feet, and the thick cotton-like white clouds blocked Liu Xi's vision, so that she couldn't see how deep the cliff was.
She looked up into the distance, only to see white clouds outside the cliff, and the whole space was full of white clouds, as if floating dense cotton.
In such a patch of white clouds, you can faintly see some pavilions and other buildings. But the most eye-catching thing is the green locust tree in the center.
It was an unusually tall locust tree, with only a dense canopy piercing through the layers of white clouds, and the main branches were hidden under thick white clouds.
"This tree ......"
Qiu Changsheng frowned, stretched out his fingers and counted for a moment before saying, "This tree, unknown!"
Unknown!
With only the evaluation of these two words, Liu Xi already understood.
For monks like her and Qiu Changsheng, being worthy of them for a word of ominity means that this ancient locust tree can threaten them.
Liu Xi also saw clearly now, the white clouds in the tomb were not real white clouds, not even fog.
They are the white flowers of a huge locust tree, and I don't know how many years it has taken to gather so many white petals.
As for why these petals don't rot, this kind of question, Liu Xi doesn't bother to think about it.
The cliff is not a road, in fact, there is still a way, although it is a copper chain made of bronze, one end is connected to the cliff, and the other end is connected to the opposite side of the cliff.
A mere suspended copper chain, of course, can't stop Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng.
The two of them didn't look down, and they stepped on the copper chain accurately, and the copper chain didn't even shake.
Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng were like flying in the air, and after a few clicks on the copper chain, people shuttled through the white clouds like birds, and soon reached the thickest place of the white clouds.
The feet are soft, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of locust flowers, and from a distance, it really looks like a piece of white cloud.
Liu Xi walked on the ground paved with locust tree flowers, stepped on the layers of petals, and suddenly the fragrance of flowers overflowed, and everywhere was filled with the mellow floral fragrance of locust tree flowers.
In addition to the sound of the two of them stepping on broken flowers, the quiet needle drop can be heard in the huge burial chamber space.
Qiu Changsheng looked around for a while, and said with a smile: "The owner of the tomb should be a person who seeks immortals, and the tomb after death has become like a fairy palace." ”
He pointed to the huge ancient locust tree in the center, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "When it was built before, there should have been a lot of ancient locust trees planted here, and I want to imitate the immortal atmosphere of the locust tree flowering like white clouds. It's a pity that only this ancient locust tree survived later, but with its own strength, it still made the entire tomb covered with locust tree flowers, which can be regarded as achieving the intention of the owner of the tomb. ”
"This tree...... Wrong. ”
Liu Xi walked to the ancient locust tree, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the trunk, and his divine sense tried to soak into the tree. But soon, her closed eyes opened again, and there was some surprise in her eyes.
"What?" Qiu Changsheng hurriedly asked.
"This tree rejects my sense. Liu Xi said.
Qiu Changsheng was silent for a moment, and then he also stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bark.
After a while, Qiu Changsheng withdrew his hand with a strange face, and said to Liu Xi: "This tree has not become a sperm, there should be something else protecting it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng felt the emptiness under their feet at the same time, and the two of them suddenly fell.
The two of them seemed to have expected that Qiu Changsheng grabbed Liu Xi's hand, stepped on a golden flying sword at some point, and flew into the air with Liu Xi.
It was as if the floor of the tomb had suddenly fallen, and the locust trees and flowers that made up the white clouds also fell down.
In the silent tomb, it seems that a rain of flower petals has fallen.
The petal rain lasted for a while before they all finally fell into the ground, and the surrounding scenery appeared in front of Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng.
The clouds open and the rain passes, and after the rain, the clouds disperse.
At this time, Liu Xi realized that this place was so thrilling, she and Qiu Changsheng were standing on a natural stone pillar with a diameter of about two meters.
Whichever of the two of them walked out of that star just now,
"This tree...... Wrong. ”
Liu Xi walked to the ancient locust tree, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the trunk, and his divine sense tried to soak into the tree. But soon, her closed eyes opened again, and there was some surprise in her eyes.
"What?" Qiu Changsheng hurriedly asked.
