Chapter 1: The Soul Coffin in Death Valley

Next Chapter

Jin Zaimin, who claimed to have been engaged in tomb robbery for generations, took three students to the edge of the Nalengrad Gorge, surrounded by mountains and smoky, with Kunlun Mountain in the south of the valley reaching into the sky, Qilian Snow Mountain in the north blocking the cold wind in the north, and the whole valley is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Nalengrad River. It is surrounded by a mid-alpine barrier of puro-red sandstone, with majestic and snow-capped mountains and lakes with crystal clear waters and rippling waves.

The three apprentices of the poor family who were fooled by him had never seen such a beautiful scenery, and they were overjoyed, regardless of the advice of the master Jin Zaimin to swim alone around the snow-capped mountains and lakes, the snow-capped peaks were stacked, the cold peaks blew over and brought up a burst of coolness, the sweet and cold wind rushed into the heart and suddenly made people feel comfortable, one of the girls jumped up happily, the blue sky was floating with white clouds, the river was murmuring, and the bright flowers were blooming all around, such a beautiful scenery was like a fairyland.

Jin Zaimin, who returned from the investigation at the edge of the canyon, was a little angry when he saw that his apprentice did not listen to the instructions and left without permission, and shouted:

"Liu Minxiu, Jiang Ruoli, Ma Cage, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry back and rest, save your strength and prepare to enter the canyon tomorrow. ”

Liu Minxiu, dressed in men's clothes, spit out her fragrant tongue and grimaced at the other two boys, causing them to chuckle and hurriedly walk back to the camp.

Seeing that they were young and inexperienced after all, Kim Jaemin hurriedly warned them not to run around in the middle of the night, and to stay in the cave obediently to rest. Originally, the exploration of the Kunlun Mountain Death Valley was prepared to come by himself, but considering that the three of them were his most proud protégés, he also wanted them to know the greatness of tomb robbing, so he led them to the most famous Kunlun Mountain Death Valley in the world.

Recently, the news from the grapevine about the appearance of a vision in the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain caught his attention, especially the inexplicable death of human beings, which aroused his great interest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day at dawn everyone cleaned up, Kim Jaemin led three apprentices to slowly walk into the famous Kunlun Mountain Death Valley.

Before you know it, you will enter the grassy Nalengrad Gorge, where snow-white clouds float in the blue sky, the river is gurgling and reverberating, and the canyon is surrounded by beautiful flowers and an alluring fragrance.

Kim Jaemin frowned slightly, the cold wind whistled, the flowers and plants in the canyon did not move at all, the top of the canyon was covered with snow, and the grass below was indeed green like two worlds, such a spectacle surprised several people.

Everyone stepped on the soft ground and fell deep and easily pulled out, step by step into the depths of the canyon at a slow speed, suddenly Liu Minxiu exclaimed, there were piles of corpses scattered on the soles of her feet, her face was pale with fright, she trembled and quickly approached the other two senior brothers, Jin Zaimin looked at the bones for half a day before taking a breath:

"Don't be afraid, it's the bones of animals, everyone be careful, there will inevitably be bones of animals here all year round, pay attention to the soles of your feet, don't break your skin."

Kim Jae-min led the team in front, and the more he walked inside, the more lush the vegetation became, and when he looked up, he could only vaguely see the blue sky.

The top of the head was covered by smoke, Liu Minxiu was afraid to hold Jiang Ruoli's arm tightly, looking around with a frightened expression, more and more bones in front of him were covered with the ground, and there were human bones mixed in it, and the bones were all black as if they had been burned, so frightened that the three of them lost their spirits, and Jin Zaimin in front of him looked at the messy bones placed around him while walking, and his calm voice made the scared three people feel a little better.

"As the ancestor of the tomb robber, you must be bold and careful, not afraid of anything, you just need to remember that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, only the creation of nature makes people, just like these blackened bones, if you look closely, you should be able to see that they died after being struck by lightning, and there is no such thing as ghosts and gods, understand?"

Marquecs boldly kicked the bones a few times, looked at the black bones that shattered at the touch, and nodded in understanding.

Walking to the depths of the canyon, it is already full of stones and bones all over the ground, intricate, the air is even more emitted a thick putrid smell, the bright flowers around are a little withered, the gurgling stream has become turbid, the floating grass is overgrown, stepping on the stones and walking forward, I suddenly saw a black hole in front of me, the entrance of the cave emitted a faint black light, and the mouth of the blood basin seemed to devour everyone, and a gloomy and cold breath swept over, making several people shiver.

The blue sky was no longer visible in the depths of the canyon, and it was covered by a thick layer of smoke, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the smoke, causing a faint glow in the canyon.

Kim Jae-min took out the fire fold from his arms and lit the torch that had been prepared in advance with lard, the light shone directly into the hole, and a looming step appeared in front of everyone, Kim Jae-min was surprised, he had checked the information before coming, there was no black hole in the depths of the canyon, and he had never heard of any steps, could he have gone to the wrong place?

With doubts, Kim Jae-min led the three proud protégés step by step to approach the entrance of the cave and walk down the steps, it was very dark inside, the black did not see the five fingers, even the light of the torch seemed faint inside, and the surrounding walls were slippery and greasy to the touch, damp, as if the feeling of touching the snake was particularly disgusting and frightening.

Liu Minxiu trembled and followed closely behind Kim Jaemin, the sound of teeth chattering could be heard in the empty black hole, and suddenly his feet slipped, Liu Minxiu rushed forward with a sound and crashed into Kim Jaemin, Kim Jae-min went down a few steps in a row to stabilize his body, and hurriedly looked at Liu Minxiu who was sitting on the steps:

"Apprentice, are you alright?"

The torch light swept by, and everyone was surprised to see Liu Minxiu's face, only to see her eyes wide in horror, slowly lowered her head, her hands were full of blood, and there were some minced meat, there was blood under her buttocks, and some broken bones and minced meat were scattered around, Liu Minxiu could no longer suppress the fear and panic and shook the minced meat in her hands, shouting again and again in her mouth, she hurriedly wanted to get up but was slipped again and again by the blood all over the ground, followed by Jiang Ruoli hurriedly helped her up, the torches were fired back and forth, and the flames of the fire were reflected on the terrifying wall, Only then did I find that the slippery and greasy things on the walls and steps were actually made of blood, but I couldn't smell any blood, and Kim Jaemin's face also changed, this black hole is strange.

Without thinking about it, Kim Jaemin hurriedly ordered everyone to hurry out and not go inside, but when they walked to the entrance of the cave, their faces were full of despair, and all the entrances to the cave were sealed, and the light of the torches could not find any traces of the hole, Kim Jaemin was anxious, his face did not show the slightest panic, and when he saw that the apprentices were all flustered and frightened, he stared at him in fear, and hurriedly comforted:

"Don't be afraid, if you can't get out of here, let's go inside and take a look, maybe there will be a hole inside."

"Master, I'm afraid!" After all, it was a girl, Liu Minxiu was already speechless with fear, her face was as white as paper, and she looked even more terrifying and white under the firelight, and the other two were also looking around in horror, not saying it didn't mean that she wasn't afraid in her heart.

"Master, will there be a ghost here, why did the entrance to the cave suddenly disappear just now?" Jiang Ruoli clenched the torch, the beating flames illuminated his face flickering, he felt that his heart was beating very strongly, his throat and eyes were dry, and the words he said were hoarse, echoing in the silent black hole and looking a little sharp and gloomy.

"Remember what I taught you, to believe in the truth, especially here, before we figure it out, maybe it was an inadvertent touch on some mechanism that caused the cave to close, to hold your mind and not believe nonsense." Kim Jae-min poured some lard on the torch again, and the brightness of the torch was turned up a little more and shone straight into the black hole, and the blood on the steps emitted a strange glow under the light.

The four of them walked down the steps step by step, their feet were a little slippery, they knew that their legs trembled even more violently, and if they didn't hold on to the wall, they would slip if they were not careful, but the blood on their hands made their hearts even more hairy, fearful, their hearts fluttered, they jumped to their throats and eyes, and their bodies were stiff, and sometimes they started with some sticky and soft minced meat, and they were forced to shake off the mood of wanting to cry, and they didn't know how long they had walked and how far they had gone, as if they had been walking like this and couldn't see anything, Only a ray of light faintly shone ahead, just at the moment when everyone was a little uneasy, the eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a 100-meter-wide open space in front of the eyes, a stone pillar that could not be surrounded by more than a dozen people stood in front of him, looking up at a grotto, densely woven with countless black holes, large and small, each black hole was bubbling black gas outward, there was no half of the bones and not a drop of blood, the air smelled a little clear, Kim Jaemin vigilantly observed the surroundings, looked up, it was like a cave that had been hewn out, There are many ice picks hanging down from the top of the cave, different sizes are shining with dazzling light, some ice picks are green, and the green ice picks are dripping with green liquid, and they fall to the ground in a straight line, but the strange thing is that they can't penetrate into the ground, and slowly converge into a green spring as big as a bowl mouth and slowly flow forward, several people are amazed, and see the clear spring flowing into the clearing, the root of the only stone pillar slowly seeps in until it disappears, and then, there is a cloud of green liquid that slowly flows to the root of the stone pillar and penetrates.

Kim Jaemin and his apprentices trembled, and walked to the root of the stone pillar timidly to check carefully, but they didn't see any cracks, and several people scattered to check and couldn't find any exit.

"Master, are we going to die here?" Marquecs cried and took out the water bladder from the bag and poured a few mouthfuls of water, seeing that the water had bottomed out, his heart was more like ashes, why should he be curious, why did he come here, it was not better to stay at home, although the family was poor, it was also his own home, not as scary as here.

The other two also looked pale, looking at their master Kim Jae-min gritting their teeth and not wanting to reveal their fears.

Kim Jae-min knows that even if he says anything now, it is useless, and if he can't find the exit, all four of them will have to die here, but he can't be discouraged, he must try all kinds of ways to get out, he can't let three living and young lives fall in front of him.

"Let's look around, especially if there are any hidden mechanisms on the walls, the air is clear, and it proves that there must be a place to go out." A sentence reminded everyone, Liu Minxiu and the others hurriedly dispersed to carefully inspect the wall, not letting go of any small places.

Makaichi had already drunk the water, and his throat was so dry that he wanted to borrow water from his younger brothers and sisters for fear that the amount of water would be too small for everyone to drink, and finally saw that the liquid falling from the green ice pick was clear and transparent, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention to take half of the water bladder and drank it up.

The green liquid is cool and sweet in the mouth, Marquets was overjoyed, just wanted to take some more, his body froze violently, his throat and eyes suddenly hurt like a fire, and then the fire inside his body burned, and he shouted "ah" in pain, everyone was shocked to look back, and a flame burned from Marcaics's body, instantly annihilating his entire body.

Ma Keqi struggled to roll on the ground, Liu Minxiu and the others cried together, and in a panic took out a water bladder to extinguish the fire but was stopped by Kim Jaemin, but in an instant Ma Keqi was burned into a pile of ashes, and the ashes on the ground that the green liquid could not penetrate were completely integrated into it and disappeared in an instant, as if the scene just now did not happen.

Liu Minxiu and Jiang Ruoli covered their mouths, their eyes widened and they retreated again and again, the fear was not enough to explain the fear in their hearts, and they rushed to the black Rongdao when they came just now, regardless of Kim Jaemin's shouting.

Jin Zaimin hurriedly caught up, they were his apprentices, and they must not let them have any more accidents, but at the end of the chase, Kim Jaemin stopped, no, there was no footsteps in the empty Rong Dao, not even the sound of human breathing, there was only his breath in the emptiness, Liu Minxiu and Jiang Ruoli were nowhere to be found, they disappeared into the dark Rong Dao for no reason.

Kim Jae-min, who didn't believe in ghosts, barely stabilized his mind, and withdrew from Rong Dao step by step to the open space just now, and it was empty at a glance, only the green liquid still slowly gathered at the root of the stone pillar and penetrated into it.

What did Marquecs do to cause the burning??

Kim Jaemin was puzzled, and at this moment, he found that the black gas coming out of the countless grottoes actually floated to the root of the stone pillar, that is, the part where the green liquid penetrated, and shot into the stone pillar little by little.

Kim Jae-min knew that there must be a mystery in this, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and took a few steps back with uncertainty and squatted there staring at the root of the stone pillar tightly.

Kim Jae-min guarded for five days in a row when he was fainting when he ran out of food and hunger, the stone pillar made a creaking sound, Kim Jaemin, who was originally dizzy, was so frightened that he was awakened, and he shivered all over his body and opened his eyes, the stone pillar slowly opened from the middle, and a cold and cold air came up from below, Kim Jaemin hurriedly got up and moved forward and waited for a long time without seeing any change, a step that winded down came into view, Kim Jaemin's chest thumped, although the cold air couldn't stop the ** who wanted to go out, he walked down the steps, Shortly after Kim Jae-min left, the stone pillar slowly closed.

With the feeling that Kim Jae-min knew that he was walking down the steps all the way to the ground, and there was only a little light left in the torch shining in the dark passage, step by step, the cold cold air made him tremble from the bottom of his heart, and the more he walked inside, the colder it became, as if he had fallen into a cold winter ice hole, and his teeth chattered up and down from the cold.

The passage is very dry, and there are no animal bones that are very clean, such an environment makes Kim Jaemin no longer flustered, I don't know how long I walked and I don't know how long I have been winding along the steps, until there is a room of about 70 square meters in front of me before I take a few deep breaths, a bronze coffin is placed in the middle, surrounded by an eerie cold air, the green liquid actually penetrates the wall and flows into the bottom of the coffin little by little, the bronze coffin seems to be suspended on the green liquid, and those wisps of black gas are wrapped around the bronze coffin and disappear out of nowhere.

Jin Zaimin was surprised, looked up, there was nothing on the wall, but when he saw the gilded lampholder inlaid around the wall, he gasped the moment he burned the merman's anointment, and the anointment lamp burned for thousands of years, does there really exist a merman in this world?

Jin Zaimin stepped forward to carefully inspect the bronze coffin, it looked very old, and the bronze still exuded a faint green light, deep and cold.

Walking around the coffin, Kim Jae-min was sure that there should be a coffin inside, but what made him difficult was how he should open the coffin.

Under normal circumstances, in addition to the soul protection coffin, the coffin in the coffin is the soul suppression coffin, and the bronze coffin that appears in front of him now is not sure whether it is the soul protection coffin or the soul suppression coffin.

While thinking about it, Kim Jaemin's hand inadvertently penetrated the swirling black gas and touched directly on the copper coffin. Squeak' pierced the eardrum and passed into Kim Jaemin's brain, he was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, but, it was too late, his hand seemed to be stuck and how to break free could not be separated from the bronze coffin, Kim Jaemin suddenly felt that the blood on his body was like a sea flowing into the river through the blood vessels of his arm into the bronze coffin, his eyes were black and dizzy, and the flesh and blood on his body were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, Kim Jae-min opened his mouth and wanted to shout, his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't make a sound at all, and the suddenly emptied chest suffocated him, like a fish falling on the shore with his mouth open and his body convulsed violently, and finally, a human skin wrapped in a bone frame collapsed next to the bronze coffin, gradually impregnated by the green liquid under the coffin, little by little turned into ashes and sank into the ground.

There was another low creak, and the lid of the bronze coffin was slowly opening at a very slow speed, slowly and slowly...... Finally, the lid of the bronze coffin slid to the ground with a loud bang.

A transparent coffin slowly floated out of it, and it was clearly reflected that there was a very small girl lying inside, with long hair wrapped around her body, and the white feather dress looked a little big covering the girl's petite body, and the girl didn't look like it had been a long time, and it was still lifelike like a living person.

At this moment, a bird that looked like a bee, but was larger than a bee, like a mandarin duck, flew out of the girl's body and pecked the transparent coffin lightly, the transparent coffin suddenly cracked a little bit and finally dissipated in the air, and the bird like a mandarin duck also gradually dissipated with the transparent coffin, a little starlight fell on the girl, the long hair dragged the girl to float in the air strangely, the small arm moved slightly, the girl's slender eyelashes flashed, and then slowly opened her eyes, her watery and pure eyes were full of doubts, A red mark suddenly flashed on the girl's eyebrows, and suddenly the light was great, and in an instant, the girl disappeared into the air!!
