Chapter 235: The Sacrifice of the Hanging Coffin

The smooth walls around it, because of the lack of friction, were difficult for ordinary people to climb, but it was not difficult for us cultivators.

The fire in front of us grew brighter and brighter, and when we emerged from the corridor one by one, we were immediately stunned by the scene in front of us.

Sure enough, a large circular space appeared in front of our eyes. At present, we are staying on a solid stone platform.

There are long stone steps under the stone platform, undulating upward, leading to a huge stone plate in the shape of a high protruding altar, and continuing through the stone plate altar, at the end of which a stone platform similar to our feet can be seen.

On the altar of the stone plate, there are three stone seats with strange shapes. From a distance, these three stone seats are placed back to back, wide and heavy, showing a triangular or herringbone shape, permeated with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Judging from their size, these stone seats must not be for ordinary people to sit on, because they are really surprisingly large, and more like milestones and other markers.

In addition to the peculiar shape, the three stone seats are all bare, without the slightest pattern carving, giving people a primitive, vicissitudes of life.

We looked around, and saw that the place was surrounded by rough stone walls, and the torches on the walls shimmered like sparks, as if they were about to be extinguished.

The ground beneath his feet was also covered with a thick layer of dust, and apparently no one had been here for a long time.

Judging from the layout and furnishings here, it really looks like a place of sacrifice. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to venture for a while, for fear of touching some unknown mechanism.

"You see, the three stone pillars on this wall are facing the three stone pedestals on the altar, and this is no accident......" Miyazaki muttered, staring at the stone plate altar.

We looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there were three huge stone pillars with obvious protrusions on the surrounding stone walls.

These stone pillars are thick and heavy, and the diameter of the visual inspection is probably nearly two or three meters. From the ground to the ceiling, each one corresponds to a stone pedestal on the altar, taking on a straight line in its position.

In fact, I had already discovered these stone pillars, but at first glance I thought they were load-bearing, and I didn't think about it, let alone what it had to do with the three stone seats on the stone plate altar.

"On the surface, the function of the chair is to make people rest, but the deeper meaning is to represent the royal power, which is the so-called 'seeing the throne as seeing the king', there are three stone seats, that is to say, there are three kings......"

Miyazaki Shi's face had a faint disappointment: "I'm afraid we miscalculated, this is not the place to seal the demon......"

I realized that the winds had suddenly stopped when we entered here, which had been so strong.

To be precise, the winds don't know where they're going. Although there is no wind here, I can hear the sound of the wind in my ears. It's like they're weaving through an invisible pipe, making a whirring sound.

In addition, it seems that there is only an entrance for us to enter, and there is no exit, which makes people a little nervous.

It stands to reason that wherever the altar is located, there will not only be an entrance and exit, but there should be more than one. In feng shui, this is called the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty", which has the meaning of cohesion and sublimation.

I guess these exits are hidden, and you have to touch some mechanism to open them.

Miyazaki obviously understood this truth, so he took the lead and told us to be careful, and then took the lead and walked down the stone platform and up the stairs.

We followed suit and began to carefully check the altar for hidden passages and traps.

After some investigation, apart from the thick dust everywhere, we didn't even find a single stone, and there was no so-called deadly trap as imagined, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed and became much bolder.

"Three kings? I don't think there are even three kings! ”

The fat man was ashamed: "Look at this layer of ash on the ground, all the kings have disappeared, and now it is a historical site, suitable for taking pictures, no!" It was a rest area ...... the attractions"

He may have been tired from walking all the way, or he had a headache after looking for the exit for a long time, so he sat on one of the three stone seats of the altar with a single bone, ready to rest for a while.

"Don't sit!" Miyazaki wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The moment the fat man's butt sat down, a violent sound of cracking stones sounded in my ears, and the ground under my feet also trembled instantly, bringing up countless dust and making people unstable on their feet, like an earthquake.

The earth shook and the mountains shook, and with a roaring sound, I saw that the three huge stone pillars that reached the sky and the earth began to shatter inexplicably, without knowing what force they were driven by......

A large amount of rubble and dust poured down like a landslide. The violent shaking made people unsteady on their feet, and a large amount of dust burst up in an instant, which caught each of us off guard and broke out into bursts of violent coughing.

Before the dust settled, I saw that the three huge stone pillars suddenly underwent a terrifying change!

I saw that due to the peeling off of the surface, the upper and lower parts of these stone pillars, that is, the place connecting the ceiling and the ground, have become awl-shaped, just like the stalactites and stalagmites common in karst caves.

And at the junction of the two inverted cones, there were three huge sarcophagi placed upright!

The stone pillars that have been turned into awl-shaped stones are the same color as the walls, so from a distance, the three sarcophagi seem to be suspended in the air, all of them are iron blue, three parts like stone and seven parts like iron.

These three sarcophagi are extremely huge, although the shape is similar to the common coffin, but it inexplicably gives people a sense of hideous and terrifying, I don't know what strange things are parked in them.

The sudden change brought a huge shock to everyone.

As the tremors on the ground gradually subsided, and before we could stabilize our minds, we heard a few loud rumbling noises in our ears, and the coffin lids of the three huge sarcophagi in the air slowly opened.

A large amount of black and brown mixed with dirty liquid fell from the open sarcophagus like a waterfall, and soon became a thick puddle of rubble in the ground, like an asphalt-like dirt.

Cold sweat leaked uncontrollably from my back, and the strange wind suddenly rose, and the whole space suddenly smelled foul......

The wind poured out of the three empty coffins!

It was as if I had discovered some huge secret, and it was as if someone had been stuffed into a mess in my head, unable to grasp the thread that could be cracked.

Three tall figures began to slowly stand up from the three clouds of filth on the ground, staring at us on the circular stone plate altar.

They were all humanoids, and their movements were extremely stiff, like broken puppets, with a clicking sound at the joints. The limbs are thin and withered, but the body is unusually tall, at least two meters away.

There was a deep layer of gloom in the air, like a yin wind passing through, like the oppression before a storm......
