Chapter 324: The Lord of the Ancient Elk Country
The central palace is not magnificent, but it makes people feel that the atmosphere is magnificent, the difficulty of building a wooden building is much lower, and the manpower and material resources required to build a palace are much less than that of stone buildings, but in terms of retention time, it is much lower, so a large number of palace complexes and buildings in ancient China gradually collapsed slowly in the years.
After arriving here, the woman got out of the car and walked inside, Bai Yujing was not going to go in, but he was pulled by him to go inside, the two of them stepped on the stairs together, and walked into the palace, the outside of the palace and the stairs were full of guards, but they did not stop Bai Yujing and the two of them in the slightest, and let them go inside.
Lamps hung on the pillars and beams, and the interior of the palace was brightly lit, and the attendants were all dressed in large ancient robes, both men and women, but this one looked like papier-mâché, with a false and contrived expression.
The crowd outside was dense, but when they arrived in the main hall, it became empty, there was nothing inside, it was deserted, Bai Yujing raised his head, but saw a huge elk lying on the ground, and on the other side, a big fiery red bird was waiting on the side, Bai Yujing felt startled, the firebird was the one he had encountered, the fierceness at that time made Bai Yujing remember it vividly, and he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the flame when he thought about it at this moment.
But if you look closely, it doesn't feel quite right, at this time, these two guys seem to have turned into stone statues, waiting under the throne respectively, standing left and right, like two guardian beasts, and on the seat above, there is a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous costume with red background and black trim.
Bai Yujing looked at the women around him again, these guys seemed to be honored with red, maybe the tradition left by the original Kui clan, the woman next to Bai Yujing saw the middle-aged man sitting on it, and her expression changed subtly.
"Are you still alive?" asked the woman, opening her mouth, as if she was very familiar with the man above.
The man smiled: "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I still be alive, I died four thousand years ago, don't you remember?"
Bai Yujing heard the name of the woman next to her from this man, her name was Hong Ji, which was quite in line with her feelings, but listening to this conversation, four thousand years ago, this woman existed four thousand years ago? This guy can really be Bai Yujing's ancestor.
Hongji frowned: "Xi, you feel that something is not quite right, and it also feels that something is not quite right here, what is going on?"
The man named Xi laughed: "Didn't you already know? I'm just a mausoleum keeper, responsible for the sacrifices of the descendants of the god clan, but since the Kui clan was cut off, no one has come to sacrifice anymore, and this is not the real fairy palace, just the mausoleum of Emperor Yan, do you really think that people who enter here can live forever?"
"As it goes on year after year, I brought the people of the ancient elk country into the tomb here to guard the mausoleum, thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of people, but at present, I can retain some will, only mine remains, everyone else has lost their memory and consciousness, and has become a beast and an evil spirit, but my situation is also not good from time to time, your luck is not bad today, I am not crazy, otherwise you will ask for more blessings!"
As soon as Bai Yujing heard what this man said, he instantly recalled, when he first came in, he said that he came here to find the imperial tomb of the Kui clan in the sacred mountain, that is, the tomb of Emperor Yan, when he passed through the big bluestone corridor before, he felt like walking in a mausoleum, sure enough, where is the imperial mausoleum passage built by the Kui clan, but the core imperial tomb is different from the ordinary mausoleum, but in another space.
Hongji said: "I'm going up the mountain, I hope you don't stop me!"
Xi shook his head: "Have you forgotten? People who are not from the god clan are not allowed to go up the mountain to worship, you don't think that you can go up the mountain to worship your ancestors with the sacrificial lamp, besides, you are a mountain ghost of the Kuikui clan, do you want to betray your master?"
Hong Ji immediately said: "Where did you come from, master, how many years have it been, the Kui Kui clan and the God clan have disappeared, the times have passed, I have sat for the Kui clan for so many years, and I should also have the right to inherit the Kui clan!"
Xi still didn't agree: "The master is the master, the slave is the slave, you can't change this boundary, and do you think I can't feel it? Without the bloodline of the god clan, it is impossible to open the entrance to this emperor's tomb, there must be a descendant of the Kui clan who has entered the mountain, I can't let you go up the mountain!"
Hong Ji's face became solemn, and the air in the entire hall suddenly became gloomy, as if between the two sides, it was possible to move at any time, Bai Yujing even felt that in the tall palace, the elk and firebird on both sides seemed to slowly wake up, as if they had gradually turned from stone to the creature of the ancient era, and a pair of pupils once again revealed ferocity.
Bai Yujing immediately felt bad, the two old monsters here fought, but it was really a fairy fight, and when the time came, he had no place to reason with his own pond fish, so he was ready to slip away immediately, but at this time, Hong Ji immediately caught Bai Yujing.
"Who do you see who this is?" said Hong Ji as she pulled Bai Yujing to speak.
Bai Yujing is a little confused by the second monk at this moment, how can this have anything to do with him again? The ancient lord of the ancient elk kingdom Xi glanced at Bai Yujing: "A young god, I don't know which clan it is, but it is definitely not from the Kui clan, what do you want to say?"
Hongji immediately said: "He also has the right to go up the mountain, you have no reason to stop him!"
Xi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and there was a trace of essence in his narrow eyes, but at this time, Bai Yujing instantly saw that Xi's body was covered with black qi, and the whole person seemed to spread all of a sudden, and his face continued to change, gradually turning into a fake face like those people outside the city, and his eyes also showed a red light.
At this time, Hongji immediately yelled: "Wake up!"
Immediately saw that Xi's whole person seemed to be constantly changing between the two people, and finally his mental will slowly stabilized, Xi held the throne and said: "It's time, my time to be awake is getting shorter and shorter, you take him up the mountain together, I won't stop you, but I want to tell you that the inside of the mountain is much more complicated than here, although the gods and those old guys have disappeared, but you can't stop it!"
Hong Ji said coldly: "You just need to agree to let go!"
