Chapter 327: The Smell of Rotting Blood
There are wall lamps on the walls on both sides of the basement every five meters or so, and the light is dim enough to illuminate the entire basement without being dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it's just that these lights suddenly all turned on without a switch, which really scared Xie Jiuli. It doesn't have any effect on the insensitive light.
Xie Jiuli suddenly stirred up, and then whispered, "Qiang, have you moved anything?"
"No, I didn't move. ”
Xie Jiuli looked around and said, "This light suddenly turned on, but it won't make people uncomfortable." It seems that this brightness is specially designed, could it be voice control?"
He nodded, "Possibly." ”
Xie Jiuli stood in place for a while, and suddenly wondered: "But won't the voice-activated light turn off automatically after a while?"
He said: "I'm not the owner of this house, you should ask Zhang Ruosheng instead of me." ”
Xie Jiuli showed a tangled expression on his face, "But it's a cover-up...... It's a little scary to go......"
Qian Ji smiled faintly, "It seems that as long as it is a dim place, you will be a little trembling and not as calm as usual." ”
The corners of Xie Jiuli's mouth twitched: "I was frightened when I was a child, and I was very afraid of the dark at that time. It's so much better now......"
"It's useless for us to stand here, let's go and have a look first." ”
Xie Jiuli nodded, "That fierce beast is inside, right? He didn't suddenly appear to attack us, did he?"
Qian replied very simply, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Xie Jiuli thought to himself, this is true. How could a monster with the bloodline of an ancient monster be afraid of the "ghosts" raised by humans?
Xie Jiuli looked a little cautious, "Then you go ahead......
Helplessly, "It seems that your classmate named Xia Ming called you to coax the goods, there is a reason for it!"
Xie Jiuli glared, "What did he tell you?"
He walked forward lightly, "It's nothing." ”
The basement of this detached house was very open, as if it was afraid that the beast would have no place to move. The walls around are beautifully carved in stone, with strange patterns and animal and human appearances, but the proportions are exaggerated. But there is nothing on the stone wall except people, animals, and monsters. The sun, the moon, the fields, the rivers, the plants, nothing. Although the whole stone wall is exquisite, it has a strong dull smell when illuminated by the dim light.
Xie Jiuli looked at the pictures carved on the surrounding stone walls and wondered, "What do these mean? ”
"I can't see, but you're asking me?"
Xie Jiuli let out a "uh", and then said, "Don't be like this, what you can see is not different from me." ”
He was silent for a moment, and his face became more and more heavy. "The weird smell around me is getting heavier, and I hate the smell of blood. ”
Xie Jiuli was surprised: "Could it be that there are dead people nearby?"
"......" Qian Qian didn't want to answer Xie Jiuli, and walked forward for a while before speaking. "I mean, we're getting closer to that so-called beast that doesn't know what it looks like. He paused, and continued: "However, the bloody qi and evil qi in this are relatively stable, and it seems that if it weren't for the people of the Zhang family, this fierce beast doesn't seem to be so interested in everything around it." Maybe...... Only the Zhang family can make them completely sober. ”
Although it was only a guess, his instinct told him that it was dangerous. Whether it's a human, an animal, or a monster, the breath is different. According to the ability of the subtlety, you can clearly distinguish the difference and strength in it. But now he felt the smell of blood, and even his knowledge could not make out what it was.
Is it really a ghost?
As soon as this idea came to him, he rejected it. The ghosts in the tomb were the most terrifying ghosts in the world, but those ghosts did not have such a heavy bloody qi that appeared so clearly in the air.
Is it because the Zhang family has been supported by blood for generations?
This answer is closest to the truth. But he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Zhang Ruosheng said that now this fierce beast is beyond his control. But what kind of detachment method is it, but not a word has been mentioned. Qian thought that what Zhang Ruosheng told them must have reservations. He didn't know what direction he would go next, so he could only be frightened and pay attention to it step by step.
The basement is not a straight line, but a twist and turn, like a labyrinth. Where exactly will they go after a corner, even Xie Jiuli and the others don't know. Luckily, though, you don't need to see with your eyes. He has the ability to image the inside of his head, and can judge the direction of the air current, and even the faint air flow can be captured by him. Although he didn't know how to go, he knew that the air flow that ran through the entire basement must be the most correct direction.
Xie Jiuli realized that it was so good, "You are a natural compass, it is really a good product for home travel!"
Qian Qian walked in front and replied lightly: "I have never seen such a mansion, even if the matter of raising ghosts cannot be publicized, but to build such a basement...... It's just too much work. He couldn't figure it out, this fierce beast was not yet uncontrollable now, and it was specially for the Zhang family to drive. The fierce beast didn't have the strength to resist the Zhang family at that time, but it was impossible to choose to escape because of the blood contract - in such a situation, why did he build the basement of his house like an underground labyrinth?
He couldn't figure it out, but it only took half an hour to reach the exit of the labyrinth.
In front of the Monkey was another round arch, the same as the one where he first entered. Pure wood, brown-red, simple and simple, without too much decoration of the round arch with a strong sense of age. It's just that on both sides of this arch, there are two one-man high flower pots, and there is only one half-cut branch in the flower pot, but the branch does not show the variety of the branches in these two flower pots.
Xie Jiuli stepped forward to take a look, but when he got closer, he immediately covered his nose and stepped back. "What kind of smell do I rely on here, it's too sloppy!"
Standing beside him, he raised his hand and waved, Xie Jiuli immediately felt that Fang Cai's unbearable aura had disappeared! He put down his hand and said, "Can you still purify the air?"
Qian Qian said lightly: "That's the smell of blood." The smell of rotting blood. ”
Xie Jiuli was shocked: "How can there be the smell of rotting blood in the flower pot?"
