Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dried Corpses
Han Qing frowned and gently folded his arms and rubbed them, "As soon as you enter this mausoleum, there is an aura of death and decay, and you are really a little panicked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Chu Yuan saw that the little girl's face turned pale, and took her over to comfort her, "Even if the empty house is not inhabited for a long time, it will be decayed, not to mention the ancient tomb, I don't know how many years there will be no living creatures, which is naturally uncomfortable." I'm really tired today, and I don't know when the mechanism outside will be activated, so let's wait in the space for a few days before going out. With me, I won't let the demons and monsters scare you, okay? ”
"How old am I, Brother Junyue still coaxes me as a child. I'm just guilty of a bad heart, where can I really be afraid of a dead person? Han Qing was reckless, but his little hand was grasping Chu Yuan's clothes.
No matter how Chu Yuan thinks of her, she is cute, and laughed and said, "How old are you and a child, I am just happy to coax you What's wrong, I don't want to think about the ancient tomb of the diaphragm first, I'll make you braised eggplant to eat tonight, okay?" "Although Chu Yuan knew some wild barbecue skills in the past, he had never entered the kitchen, but since he lived in the space, he learned a lot of cooking skills from Han Qing.
Han Qing naturally nodded, and the two of them forgot about the gloomy ancient tomb for a while, and enjoyed the peace and stability in the space for a few days.
After living in the space for more than ten days, the two of them came out with their swords again. The door of the ancient tomb had long been closed, and they were now in a fairly wide corridor, the ground was full of broken feather arrows, and by the light of the flying sword, they could see the carved patterns on the left and right.
Chu Yuan took Han Qing by the hand, carefully looked at the stories on the pattern, and guessed, "These stories should say that the owner of this tomb is the leader of a tribe who united with other tribes, overthrew the regime that enslaved them, and established his own dynasty. ”
"Oh? It turned out to be a founding king, no wonder the mausoleum was built so magnificently. ”
"Presumably this is the tomb of the Mitu King, who overthrew the Turkic Khanate and established the Uighur Khanate."
The two of them walked and stopped, and finally crossed the corridor and came to an open burial chamber, in which some chariots, horses and weapons were buried with them, which had long since decayed after thousands of years. Han Qing had no interest in the burial goods, and just wanted to find the exit as soon as possible, so the two of them did not delay their efforts, and spread their senses and began to look for the mechanism.
Han Qing had gone through the double forging of crossing and rebirth, and after cultivating immortals, the advantages of divine consciousness became more and more apparent. But what made her angry was that since Chu Yuan had recovered the memory of Bai Shi, whether it was cultivation or divine sense, they had thrown her out of a few streets. She saw that Chu Yuan found the mechanism faster, puffed out her mouth, and said in her heart that the rich second generation or something, she really can't care about him, whoever is serious will lose.
Chu Yuan pulled a chariot away, and an underground passage was exposed in the open space in the center, Chu Yuan threw some of them in, but there was no hidden weapon flying out, so the two of them cautiously entered the tunnel.
Not long after entering, Han Qing covered her nose and said, "What a smell!" ”
Chu Yuan frowned and said, "It may be the smell of corruption, Ah Qing, don't be afraid, it's all dead things." ”
Han Qing nodded, and after walking for a while, he gradually saw some dried corpses. Chu Yuan clenched Han Qing's hand and said, "Thinking about it, these are all burial people, look at their clothes, they should be slaves and attendants, and they may also be the ones who built the mausoleum." ”
Han Qing saw that those dried corpses were of different shapes, and they must have struggled and suffered when they died, and they really couldn't bear to look at them directly, so they gently shook Chu Yuan's hand and said, "Accompanying the funeral or something, it's cruel and useless, it's really not good." ”
Chu Yuan chuckled, in this tomb full of dried corpses, it was really a little out of place, "Ah Qing rest assured, the previous dynasty didn't pay attention to accompanying the burial, and our Daqi is now written in the law, which is expressly forbidden." ”
Han Qing said annoyedly, "Brother Junyue knows how to laugh at me, who said that I was worried about this!" ”
Chu Yuan loved to see her duplicitous little appearance, and he wanted to wrap her in his arms and shake her, but now was not the time for a joke, so he just kept walking with the corners of his mouth curled. The two men found another passage in the chamber that continued below.
Han Qing said worriedly, "This mausoleum is built layer by layer, we are already underground, this time it is getting farther and farther away from the ground, and I don't know if we can go out if we go on like this." ”
Chu Yuan said helplessly, "We have been on the same road all the way, and we can only take one step at a time." ”
In the burial chamber below, there are many stone coffins, and there are some dried corpses of women outside. Although the number is not as large as the one above, the yin qi is a little heavier.
Chu Yuan said, "The one in this coffin should be the concubine, and these outside must be the female slaves waiting." ”
Han Qing saw that there were more than a dozen sarcophagi, so she didn't make a sound, but she pouted to herself. This look made Chu Yuan look square, but there was some sweat in this cold tomb, and he was a little annoyed that he didn't explain what he was doing, which showed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also a little self-aware.
Continuing to find the mechanism, and entering the next floor, the two of them obviously felt that the temperature was much lower. This layer of the tomb is particularly generously repaired, and the burial objects are also more advanced, and even the material of the coffin is a little extraordinary.
"That coffin must belong to the King of the Mystery Map." Chu Yuan felt that the reason why the temperature of this tomb was lower was because the coffin of the King of the Mystery was made of cold jade.
"This jade is so cold, could it be that this Mystery King is also pursuing something that the corpse does not rot?"
"I'm afraid it is, but it's none of our business, so don't bother him."
The two searched for the mechanism for a long time, and found that the only thing that was wrong was the cold jade coffin.
Chu Yuan pointed to the picture carved on the wall and said, "I'm afraid it means that if you can get here, it may be the descendant of the King of Mitu, just open the cold jade coffin and drop a drop of blood on his corpse, and you can get out safely." If it is an outsider with bad intentions, he will be punished by the King of Misshape. ”
Han Qing said worriedly, "Neither of us is related to him by blood, don't show it this time, isn't there any other way out?" ”
Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "The result of the divine sense, only the cold jade coffin has some opportunities. ”
"Why don't you just move this coffin away, the left and right brackets should be at the bottom of the coffin."
"No, if some jade burning mechanism is triggered, this layer by layer collapses and traps us here."
Han Qing was so angry that he pulled Chu Yuan back to the space, "Then what should I do, just the two of us here, where can we go to find a relative of the King of Misty Pictures." ”
Chu Yuan couldn't answer, so he just said, "Why don't you open that coffin and find out if there is any way out inside." ”
Han Qing thought that the mysterious king engraved on the mural was a giant with a human body and a wolf's head, and he really couldn't accept it. Chu Yuan couldn't see her careful thoughts, and nodded at her with a smile and said, "Don't worry, that mural is to deify the founding Khan of the Uighur Khanate, and it was artistically processed, his descendants are all ordinary people, how can he not be a monster." ”
Han Qing was poked in the heart and was a little embarrassed, so she nodded and said, "Now I can only open the coffin, and I just listen to Brother Junyue." ”
The two rested in the space for a few more days, and then came to the tomb of the King of Mitu again, and Chu Yuan personally pushed the lid of the cold jade coffin open.
Chu Yuan looked in with the light of the sword, and saw a tall man dressed in golden jade clothes, the body was very well preserved, and only after the coffin was opened, the skin gradually lost its moisture, some wrinkles and gray. Look at his appearance, he is a full Western Regions look, with curly hair, deep eyes and a high nose.
As soon as Chu Yuan wanted to look for the mechanism in the coffin, he suddenly felt a chill, and he quickly retreated, avoiding the attack of the thousand-year-old corpse.
Han Qing didn't dare to step forward, he stood from afar and watched, watching the Mystery King sit up and look at Chu Yuan. Han Qing gasped, "It's a corpse!" ”
Chu Yuan quickly found Han Qing, pulled her behind him and said, "I think we haven't been able to drip blood, so that this Mystery King can be recognized." ”
Han Qing's face was stiff at this time, where did he still have the intention of joking with him, "This corpse doesn't know what kind of evil art it uses, it's so mad." ”
Chu Yuan waved the flying sword, and because the sword light was white, he was called Xiaobai by the two. "Aqing, don't be afraid, you can hide on the side, don't forget to use Xiaozi to protect yourself in an emergency, I'll meet this mystery king for a while!" After that, he took the initiative to meet him.
Han Qing obediently hid aside, only to see that Chu Yuan had enough spiritual power, and that Xiaobai was instantly full of light, thinking that with the cultivation of the foundation building monk, it would only be a matter of minutes to cut a dry corpse, but who knew that seeing Xiaobai fall on the body of the Mystery King, it was only a few pieces of jade silk!
The Mystical King's eyes were dark, like a powerful ghost from hell, his body was like an iron wall, wielding a pair of sledgehammers in both hands, and with great strength, he forced Chu Yuan to retreat.
How good is that! Seeing that Chu Yuan was smashed to the ground with a hammer, and the ground was smashed out of a gravel pit, Han Qing didn't dare to delay, and just when the Mystery King was about to win with one move, he quickly took Chu Yuan's hand and returned to the space.
"Brother Junyue, how are you?" Han Qing saw Chu Yuan coughing with his heart in his hands, and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, it's just that I haven't met a strong opponent in a long time, and I'm quite happy!" Chu Yuan calmed the pain in his body and joked.
"What are you beaten into, and there are idle jokes." Han Qing saw that he was indeed fine, so he relaxed and counted down.
Chu Yuan touched his nose, "I'm still a little arrogant because of my cultivation, there are people outside the world and mountains outside the mountains, so I really shouldn't underestimate anyone easily." ”
"That dry corpse is not a human in the first place, but I don't know what evil magic is used, I am not afraid of swords, and I can chase people and fight. Now we can't even go back the way we came. ”
Chu Yuan pondered for a moment, "It's not that there is no way, when Fairy Xuanyi sent us out, he sealed the red lotus karmic fire into the fire essence, saying that I can refine it for my own use in the future, thinking that the red lotus karmic fire can destroy all things, maybe it can deal with this mystical king." ”
