Chapter 381: Soul Suppression Bottle
Gongsun had the iron coffins dug up and carried to the courtyard. These iron coffins weighed thousands of catties, and it was also thanks to the strange people of the Demon Palace, plus Zhao Pu's soldiers and horses, it took a lot of effort for everyone to lift these iron coffins.
After lining up, it still looks quite shocking.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and others all gathered in the courtyard.
Zhao Pu took the new pavilion and gently knocked on the iron coffin, and heard a strange sound of "dang".
Zhao Pu was slightly stunned.
Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the iron coffin, a thin layer of soil peeled off, and in the sunlight, the iron coffin glowed with dazzling silver brilliance.
In addition to these thirteen iron coffins, there was also an ordinary coffin, which was used by the nine-headed grandmother to bury the young man.
Gongsun opened the coffin, because it was buried thirty years ago, and the body had long since turned into a pair of bones.
Gongsun took out the skull, and everyone heard a "ding", and a nail fell from the skull, fell to the ground, bounced twice, and rolled to Zhanzhao's feet.
Zhan Zhao bent down, picked up the very small silver nail, and handed it to Gongsun.
Gongsun took the nail and showed everyone the skull, and saw that there was a small hole on the left side of his forehead, and the nail was inserted in the hole, just right.
Everyone couldn't help but frown.
Bai Yutang asked, "So...... Is this really someone with a black tattoo behind his ear? β
Gongsun nodded.
"But...... He's not so vicious. Grandma Jiutou was puzzled, "but cried very sadly." β
"You mentioned that there was blood on the ground at that time." Gongsun said, "That scholar may be the same as the madman I picked up, he was injured or something happened to him, causing some kind of deviation in the nail in his head...... As a result, he may remember what he did when his temperament changed drastically, or that nail poked directly in the wrong place, causing his temperament to change drastically, from extremely murderous to heartbroken, and finally suicide or something. β
Everyone touched their chins - it was possible.
"Actually, I'm not more concerned about that person committing suicide for something." Gongsun seemed a little excited, "I found something. β
As he spoke, two old men ran in from outside.
Everyone in the Demon Palace naturally knows each other, these two old men are old nerds, and they are rich in old bookbags.
The two of them held a few very old scrolls and atlases in their hands, put them on the stone table, and asked Gongsun, "Is this this thing?" β
Gongsun took it and looked at it, first holding the book and patting the ashes, layers of dust were flying all over the sky, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, with a musty smell.
"What kind of book is this?" Pang Yu touched his chin and looked, "Is this burned or what?" It's pitch black. β
"This is the geography of antiquity." The two old men explained, "What came out of the library was dug up from the ancient tomb by small burials. β
Gongsun kept his emotions high, turned out a scroll of maps, spread them out, and placed them on the stone table for everyone to see.
And they all came to see.
Bai Yutang glanced at the annotation next to him and was surprised, "This is ...... A geographical map from a thousand years ago? β
"It's a map of mountains and rivers, and I remember I've seen similar ones before." Gongsun pointed to the place where the original magic mountain should have been, found two crooked lines, and said, "This is the location of the valley where we found the iron coffin, you see, what was this place a thousand years ago?" β
Everyone clearly saw that the two twisted lines outlined a long river......
"Oh!" Grandma Jiutou also said, "This place did have a branch of a river flowing through a long, long time ago, but then I don't know if it was because of the change of the river or an earthquake, but in short, it was diverted and became a valley." β
Zhan Zhao looked at the topographic map, a little strange, "Why is there a village or city on both sides of the river, but only in the section near the Magic Mountain, there is only the river?" β
Gongsun clapped his hands, and it seemed that Zhanzhao had said to the point, "This is it!" β
Bao Yan was holding a stack of books on the side, which Gongsun asked him to turn over early this morning, Bao Yan read books very fast, after a while, he read a lot of books and found out what Gongsun needed.
Bao Yan took the book and ran over and said, "According to historical records, there are a lot of river shipwrecks in this area!" Almost all boats that pass through here capsize and go missing, so people in the neighborhood say that this place is a waterway for the dead. It is said that there are also people who sail at night who have seen the ghosts swimming in the water. β
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Zhao Pu touched his chin, "The soul is in the water...... Could it be the blue mist we see? β
Everyone thought it was possible.
Gongsun poked Zhao Pu, "Didn't you say before, there will be three triangular signs in dangerous places, all of which indicate the kind of strange danger that people can't change...... If this waterway is like the ghost sea that will never return, will someone mark the entrance to the waterway as dangerous? β
Zhao Pu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "That stone tablet may be a sign!" That ruin should not be just a ruin, but ...... A tall tower built in the water, with the stele above it...... In the most conspicuous places, passing ships are reminded not to approach this water, so there will be an inscription and that sign! β
Everyone frowned and nodded, "I see." β
"Towers are to be built in the water." Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "The drop in the waterway in this place is quite large, the water flow should be very turbulent, and the solid tower is likely to be washed away by the current, and the best way is to fix it......"
At this point, everyone went to see the iron coffins with chains.
Wusha couldn't help but let out an "oh", "This dare is not a coffin, it is a load-bearing pendant!" No wonder it's so heavy and so strong. β
"What kind of material are you made of?" Ouyang Shaozheng squatted down, looked carefully at the surface of the brand-new coffin, knocked lightly, and listened to the voice, "I've never seen anything like this." β
"Antiquities, perhaps." Yin Hou said.
"Since it was in a waterway thousands of years ago, did it sink under the riverbed later?" Master Bao asked.
"In fact, as long as the ruins are dug up, it can prove whether Gongsun's speculation is correct." Zhan Zhao said, "There should be a base of the tower at the bottom of the ruins, and in addition, if the canyon was a riverbed before, then there should be a lot of shipwrecks underground." β
After listening to Zhanzhao's words, everyone looked at each other.
Yin Hou thought for a moment and said, "Dig it up and take a look!" β
Yin Hou gave an order, and everyone in the Demon Palace took the soldiers and horses of Kaifeng Mansion and Zhao Pu into the mountain together, and everyone began to dig the mountain.
First of all, digging the bottom of the ruins, sure enough, I saw the tower body and the base buried in the mud, and dug all the way down, and it didn't take long for someone to dig up the shipwreck.
"It's a river." Tianzun touched his chin.
The crowd began digging early in the morning and continued to dig until the afternoon, and found countless shipwrecks, as well as a large number of gold and silver treasures and things that were long gone.
Gongsun They found some remaining bottles and cans and analyzed them, and they could be traced back thousands of years.
While everyone was studying, they felt a sensation in the ground.
Bai Yutang gently tugged Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao took two steps back, and a hole appeared where he was originally standing, and Han Chang got out.
The gopher was covered in dirt, and after jumping out, he shook it off, pointed to the bottom, and said, "There is a stone brick roof below, and it seems to be a large stone room." β
The crowd was amazed.
Yin Hou asked, "How much down?" β
Han Zhang thought for a moment and said, "I dug for half an hour!" It's at least a few thousand feet underground! β
Everyone looked at Second Master Han in surprise, "So deep? β
Han Chang nodded, "Do you want to go and see?" With some tools, I might be able to dig through the top of the rock, and there's got to be something good down there! β
Everyone nodded.
Ochre Shadow took a group of shadow guards and dug pits and steps with Han Zhang overnight.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, when everyone came to the mountain again, they saw Han Zhang, who had turned into several clay figures, and the shadow guards were standing at the mouth of a huge hole, washing the mud on their bodies with water.
"How's it going?" Zhao Pu was curious.
"Got it." Han Zhang said, "The stone chamber below has also been dug up, and it is being ventilated, so let's wait until the afternoon to go in!" The smell is not right, at least it has been sealed for thousands of years! β
Everyone was shocked, did this dig up the tomb of some ancient emperor or what? How is it so magical.
In the afternoon, Gongsun prepared masked veils filled with potions to prevent poisoning, and several people took torches and followed Han Zhang, stepping into a diagonal underground staircase.
Han Zhang and the shadow guards dug the tunnel quite spaciously, but when they walked down, they realized how deep it was, and after being away from the ground, it was pitch black all around, which was like stepping into the ground.
Finally, the crowd reached the outside of the stone wall.
There was a square hole in the stone wall, which Han Zhang had dug up, but it was obviously quite deep underneath.
Ochre took a connecting arrow and threw it down.
In an instant, a "stab" sound was heard, and the entire interior of the stone chamber lit up.
Under the fluorescent green light of the contact arrows, the situation inside the stone chamber was clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
Visually, the bottom is almost a few zhang high, the ground is very flat, the square brick floor, and the dust does not look very thick.
Zhanzhao was about to jump down and was caught by Yin Hou.
Bai Yutang also wanted to go down, and was dragged by Tianzun.
Lu Tianhan motioned for everyone to stop arguing, he raised his hand and waved it to the ground, and a cold and icy true qi spread through...... A layer of frosty white ice accumulated on the ground.
Lu Tianhan jumped lightly and went down.
Others followed.
There was no danger below, the ground was level, there were no traps or anything else, but the light of the connecting arrows was gone.
The light from the torches didn't shine too far, and the inside of the stone chamber seemed to be very large.
Tianzun couldn't help but touch his chin, "Oh, isn't the entire underground of this Demon Mountain empty?"
"What if you can't see the edge?"
Yin Hou thought about it for a while, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Call your ninth aunt." β
Zhan Zhao jumped out of the hole, and after a while, he brought Hong Jiuniang.
Hong Jiuniang went down to the stone room, and she was also a little confused.
Yin Hou said to her, "Look where the edge of this stone chamber is." β
Everyone was a little curious, how could Hong Jiuniang probe the edge of this stone room?
I saw Jiu Niang snatch out two handfuls of silver powder from her waist bag, which is the phosphorus powder she is used to on weekdays. She put her hands together and rolled them out, and with a bang...... A fire formed in her hands. Jiu Niang raised her hand and expanded...... The fireball shattered, and the air was filled with sparks.
Jiu Niang grabbed two more handfuls of phosphorus powder, raised her hand and shook it gently.
Just as everyone was waiting for what would happen later, they suddenly saw Hong Jiuniang stretching out her palms...... A powerful internal force surged out, and at the same time, a "boom" was heard, and a raging fire burned all around, and the flames formed several pillars of fire, like a fire dragon, and began to stretch out in all directions.
As the light of the fire extended, the people saw more and more clearly, and they saw that they were in a huge palace. The two fire dragons that were going to both sides suddenly hit the wall, and a roar followed, and at the same time, the surroundings instantly lit up......
Hong Jiuniang collected the internal force, and saw that there were circles of fire on the wall, and it turned out that there were fire oil lampstands all around the wall, and it was lit at one point.
In an instant, the entire interior of the stone chamber lit up.
The eyes of the crowd also stretched from the side to the distance little by little.
The moment they saw the front clearly, everyone was in a sluggish state, and even the well-informed Tianzun and Yin Hou couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Master Wusha clasped his hands together, "Amitabha." β
β¦β¦
I saw that the stone chamber was empty all around, and there was nothing, but in the middle there was a huge square pit, and I don't know how deep the pit was.
I only know that there is a high mountain piled up in the pit of the road...... What is it made of? Corpse!
Twisted, air-dried bones were piled up in tens of thousands.
Walking a few steps ahead, the bottom of the Baiyutang Wangshi Pit was bottomless, how many corpses were there? And the corpses are all wearing armor and holding weapons, isn't that the army completely wiped out here? Or was this once a battlefield.
While everyone frowned, they looked at the top of the corpse mountain together.
There was a chair on the top of the mountain where the corpses were piled up, which looked like a throne, and on the throne, a box was placed.
Zhanzhao jumped lightly, reached the throne, and stood on the handle, like a feather falling on it.
Zhan Zhao first observed the throne, which was made of pure gold, and the craftsmanship was very simple, a style that he had never seen before.
And in the middle of the chair is a gold box, which is also inlaid with various precious stones, although it is covered with a thin layer of ash, but it is still difficult to hide its magnificence...... Zhan Zhao saw a trace of a particularly evil taste in the quaint carved patterns.
Zhanzhao touched his chin and looked at the box.
Below, Yin Hou reminded him, "Don't touch it, be careful of the mechanism." β
Zhan Zhao blinked, noticing that there was a buckle on the back of the box, which had no lock, and seemed to be easy to open.
At this time, Tianzun also came up, squatted aside and looked at the box, and suddenly stretched out his hand......
Everyone held their breath, and Tianzun squatted there with the box, and did not move.
But after waiting for a while, no mechanism was activated, and the stone chamber did not collapse.
Zhan Zhao and Tianzun glanced at each other and jumped down together.
Look again...... Everything is business as usual all around, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Tianzun turned the box upside down and looked at it, and heard a "click" sound from inside.
"There seems to be something, and it's quite heavy." Tianzun is about to open.
Bai Yutang held him down and asked him to put the box on the ground.
Tianzun put the box on the ground.
Bai Yutang took the cloud knife and gently picked it up...... The box was opened.
Once again, to everyone's surprise, there was no mechanism in the box, and there was no dazzling rare treasure, this box that was enshrined on top of a pile of corpses like some kind of god or monster, and occupied an entire pure gold throne alone, but it was just an ordinary broken bottle.
"Bottles?!" Zhao Pu couldn't help but be surprised.
Just when everyone was about to pick up the broken bottle and take a look, they saw Yin Hou and Tianzun close the lid in unison, and then glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise, as if they felt incredible.
"What kind of bottle is this?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked the two in unison.
Yin Hou stood up, pointed to the bone pit in front of him, and said to Hong Jiuniang, "Burn it!" β
Jiuniang was stunned.
"Quick!" Yin Hou is rarely severe.
Jiu Niang was startled, and hurriedly clapped her hands over, and with the flames brought out by the palm wind, there were also a few handfuls of phosphorus powder, and in an instant, the high pile of bones burned. I don't know if it's an illusion, but everyone felt that the pile of bones suddenly moved after it was ignited, and the corpses were like twisted undead struggling in the fire.
Zhao Pu frowned, "It's so familiar......"
Gongsun pointed to a few black insects the length of chopsticks among the bones, "Isn't that the big bug?" It's just not that big......"
"The blue fog in the valley has something to do with this, too?" Zhao Puzheng asked, and saw Tianzun hand the box to Wusha.
Master Wusha clasped his hands together and used his internal strength.
Lin Yehuo was surprisedβhis master used the highest palm power of the Windless Palm.
Sure enough, the box was instantly crumpled into an iron ball, and even those gems were twisted.
Tianzun took the box that had been twisted into an iron ball and threw it into the fire.
Everyone looked at each other.
Bai Yutang asked Tianzun, "What exactly is this?" β
"Soul Suppression Bottle." Tianzun frowned, "The Demon King used this thing once, and he said back then, this thing can't stay in the world, and if you see one, you will destroy one!" β
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "What is the Soul Suppression Bottle?" β
Yin Hou glanced at him, "Something that can wipe out your 400,000 Zhao family army in an instant." β
Zhao Pu opened his mouth, and everyone stared at several old men, full of disbelief.
"Let's go up first." Wait for everyone to get out of here.
Out of the cave.
Yin Hou nodded to Jiu Niang.
Jiu Niang is another palm...... In an instant, the entire stone chamber turned into a sea of fire.
After going out of the tunnel to the mountain, Yin Hou and Tianzun let everyone go first.
Everyone went out of the mountain and returned to the Demon Palace in a daze, but they heard a loud "boom".
Halfway up the mountain in the Demon Palace, everyone stopped and looked back...... I saw Yin Hou and Tianzun walking out of the woods, and the valley behind them collapsed and was razed to the ground, and what nameless mounds, stone tablets, and tunnel entrances were all pressed under the boulders of 10,000 catties, and they no longer existed.
