Chapter 44: Skeletons

"Book of Heaven...... Corpse Forbidden Chapter?! Su Wuqian took the book in her hand and flipped through it back and forth, although she couldn't understand it, she at least knew that it was not a book on the art of war at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"Why do you mention such a thing as a corpse? What kind of magic are these?! ”

From the beginning of the dying poison, Yuan Xing vaguely guessed that the tomb zombies were inseparable from the "Book of Heaven".

However, the Book of Heaven only occasionally mentions the corpse transformation, and does not record it in detail. Yuan Xing didn't expect that there were really people in this world who were so crazy that they would put the method of refining corpses into practice, systematically organize it, and make it into a book.

These black corpses in the ancient tomb are probably the result of corpse refining! I don't know what someone wants to do when they are painstakingly studying the art of corpse alchemy?

Yuan Xing snatched the "Corpse Demon Forbidden Chapter" in his hand, "What kind of treasure is this!" This is just some of the magic derived from the Book of Heaven! By far the most sinister chapter I've ever seen! I don't understand why so many people covet such a terrible thing! It should have ruined it! ”

Yuan Xing's palms were hot, and he was ready to burn them with fire. Su Wuqian grabbed one end of the book and desperately wanted to snatch it back.

The woman did not hesitate to put the scimitar on Yuan Xing's neck, turned her face and said, "Give me the book!" ”

Looking at the change in Su Wuqian's attitude, Yuan Xing was also surprised: "Do you know what you're doing?!" ”

"This is the only hope to save my eldest brother! I can't let you ruin it! What's more, it is also related to the safety of the villagers of Taolin Village? If it is destroyed, how will you explain it to the horse thief? ”

Yuan Xing closed his eyes slightly, and the fingers holding the book gradually let go. Inside this tomb, which has been sealed for 200 years, the enemy is dark and I am clear. Before the situation was clear, Yuan Xing didn't want to continue arguing with Su Wuqian, so he had to compromise temporarily. But he knew in his heart that he must not let the "Corpse Demon Forbidden Chapter" circulate in the world!

"I'm sorry, Yuanxing, I don't want to take it for myself. I can also see the harm of this book from your attitude, but it still has its value! ”

"If you want to take it, take it. But from now on, don't try to run away from me. ”

"What kind of terrible thing could be the limit of corpses mentioned in the book?"

"That's the corpse."

"So what is sealed in the Qilin tomb is the corpse demon?!" Su Wuqian looked around the room nervously, "It's not right." If there are corpses here, how can we stand and talk? I don't really see anything ever being locked up here! ”

Yuan Xing reached out and touched the palm of the male unicorn on the left, where a stone ball is usually placed.

"The whole burial chamber is full of dust, but if you look here, it is a round bright spot, brighter in color than elsewhere, and smoother, without any trace of dust."

Su Wuqian suddenly realized. "You mean, there was something left here? But someone has moved! ”

Yuan Xing nodded and said, "That's it." It's not you, it's not me. It's the third person in this chamber! ”

Complicated emotions surfaced on Su Wuqian's face. Who could it be...... Soluwen? Eldest brother? Corpse demons? Or is it someone else? The woman could no longer think calmly now, so she could only focus her attention on the present.

"What kind of mechanism could it be? Where did the stone ball go? ”

"Isn't it right here?" Wang Yuanxing put his hand into the mouth of the unicorn and kept slapping the chisel ball in his mouth. The size of the unicorn's mouth is just right to jam the chisel ball, causing the ball to spin in the mouth but not fall. "The unicorn stone door is open again, indicating that the stone statue mechanism has been cracked. No matter who was in the palace, he had already broken down the door. When we entered through the north gate, I am afraid he left through the south gate! ”

"In that case, the most important thing for us now is to escape from this tomb as soon as possible!"

"Nope! The most important thing now is to confirm whether Soluwen is here or not! Yuan Xing said, stepping on the steps of the square altar step by step.

The square altar in the center of the burial chamber is about two zhang high, and there are seven steps of stairs, all of which are made of finely crafted granite masonry. The first stage is paved with four layers of stone strips, and the remaining six tiers, each of which is made of three layers of stone strips.

The top of the altar is flat, and you can see two coffins placed side by side, and one of them has been opened!

The main coffin of the tomb of the Qilin Palace is different from the previous ones at first glance. They are not made of stone, but are made of precious wood from Northern Zhan, and have not decayed in the slightest after 200 years.

The coffin is inlaid with a jade coffin. The so-called jade coffin actually refers to a large number of jade pieces inlaid in the outer layer of the coffin. The whole coffin looks extremely noble and luxurious.

Yuan Xing took three steps and made two steps, and ran to the front of the coffin to check. The open coffin was empty, and there were no bones at all.

Su Wuqian, who came from behind, was also surprised when she saw the empty coffin, "Suo Luwen is not inside!" Did we let him get out? ”

The inside of the coffin seemed to be uneven, and Yuan Xing tore open the brocade cloth covering the coffin, revealing a golden jade robe with a shape almost identical to the human body.

"It's ...... Jade Box! Emperor's ...... Solu Wenzhen thinks of himself as an emperor! Su Wuqian looked at this rare treasure and couldn't help but reach out and grab it. As a result, under the pulling, the more than 2,000 pieces of jade and the golden silk threads that made up the golden jade clothes were all broken and scattered in the coffin. "It's rotten! Is there anything that can make gold thread corrode easily? ”

Yuan Xing shook his head. The burial chamber was so strange that he couldn't imagine what had happened in this enclosed space. "Obviously, this golden jade robe has not been worn, if Suo Luwen's body is in the coffin, it doesn't make sense."

"You mean it's a mound of clothes? Soluwen didn't die at all? ”

"It's possible. Or maybe they're dead, but there's no bones left. But exactly, we really don't know. But one thing is certain, whether the person inside crawls out, or the person outside opens the coffin, it is impossible for the coffin to open on its own. Just like why the stone statue mechanism was cracked, there must be a third person in the Qilin Palace! ”

"I've always wondered if that person could be my big brother?"

Wang Yuanxing asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

"I couldn't find any trace of him. It is possible that he took the opportunity to enter the tomb after the seal disappeared. Then crack the mechanism to get out of trouble, and pass by with us at the wrong time! It's not impossible! ”

"Don't forget, we haven't found the Xuanwu Palace so far, and the sealing seal was not cracked by us! The powerful power in the Qilin Palace broke through the last remaining Xuanwu Star Power, and only then did it destroy the Demon Seal! ”

"Demons can even break the seal, so why be afraid of a small tomb mechanism? Only humans need to crack the mechanism to get out, right? ”

"This ......" Su Wuqian's words were indeed reasonable, and Yuan Xing didn't know how to answer, and unconsciously fell his gaze on another coffin.

Since it is a joint burial tomb, why not open the coffin next to it and take a look? You might be able to find more clues about Soluvan.

Yuan Xing ran Ling Yuan, and his fingers were raised, "Get up!" ”

With a bang, the coffin lid suddenly lifted out of thin air and fell to the ground. A putrid smell emanates from it.

Su Wuqian and Yuan Xing stepped forward to watch, and they were both shocked on the spot.

There is a corpse lying here, although there is a noble and gorgeous woman's funeral dress to cover the body, but the exposed face is strangely shaped, and it is definitely not very human!

"To be buried next to Soluwen must be his wife, right? Oh my God, does his wife look like this? ”

Wang Yuanxing untied the funeral clothes of the female corpse and wanted to see it in more detail, but was stopped by Su Wuqian.

"Hey! Can you respect the dead! How can she say that she is also a woman! ”

Yuan Xing ignored his obstruction and ripped off his clothes. An adult-sized skeleton is completely exposed!

"How could this be a human skeleton! Look at her tailbone for yourself! ”

The skeleton lying in the coffin looks similar to a human as a whole. No matter how tiny the bone is, there is almost no difference between it and a woman of the same age. But the face, feet, and tail are excluded...... The woman's face is protruding, her feet are beast-like, and she has a slender and long tailbone.

"She actually has a tail! And this foot ......."

"This is the skeleton of a mouse. The skeletal structure of rodents and humans is similar to nine layers, and if the bones of normal rats are enlarged, this is basically the form. ”

"Rat Demon! Soluwen is really a rat demon! Wrong! This is the woman's bones...... Could it be that Soluwen's wife is a monster? ”

"But in the history of Beizhan, there are very few records of Suo Luwen's wife, so the world has no understanding of it. But since there are bones left, at least it means that it is dead. The question now is the one who is alive! ”

"Solu smells ......"

"The puzzle is there, but the answer to the puzzle is unknown! All in all, it's time for us to get out of here! ”

Su Wuqian had just turned around, but she stumbled over something under her feet. In the center of the square altar, that is, in the middle of the two coffins, there is a palm-sized tortoise bronze seal.

"Where did this damn copper turtle come from? When we came up, there was nothing here. It can't come out of nowhere, it must be ......"

While Su Wuqian was talking, Yuan Xing followed up and stepped on the stone brick with the copper turtle. Yuan Xing obviously felt the stone bricks under his feet sink, and the entire square altar began to shake slightly.

“…… Organ ......" Su Wuqian spit out the last two words, and looked at the gradual changes under her feet stupidly.

Fang Tan shook more and more, Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian could barely stand upright, staggering to maintain their balance. Suddenly, the altar split in two, sliding from the central axis to both sides. The center of the split revealed a stone staircase leading downward, and the depths of the dungeon were pitch black.

By the time the shaking had stopped, the two had been separated from each other. Under mutual hope, there is a tacit understanding.

"Beacon Seal!" Yuan Xingjie printed his palm, and a flash of fire shot straight into the center of the earth. The ever-bright lamp below was lit, and a light was revealed. The space below seems to be much larger than the Qilin Tomb.

Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian went down the stone steps all the way to a tall half-open stone gate. The stone gate is carved in the shape of Xuanwu.

"I didn't think the Xuanwu Tomb would be here!" Yuan Xing was surprised. No wonder they couldn't find the Xuanwu Palace, it turned out that it was located directly below the Qilin Palace, and the passage was hidden in the square altar where the coffin of the tomb owner was placed, and I don't know why.
