Chapter 39: The Female Corpse on the Altar of the Underground Palace
"Give me fifty taels of the highest level anesthetic!" Lei Aotian directly handed over the fifty taels of silver tickets.
The waiter guy took the silver ticket, turned around and went up to the second floor of the Warlock Tower to get the medicine.
In less than a minute, the waiter boy trotted down and handed Lei Aotian a small blue porcelain vase.
"If you smear it on the blade, it will be effective when you see blood, just wipe a little less at a time. The blade is not exposed for a long time, and it is not exposed to rain, so it can be applied for a long time. The effect of anesthesia varies over time depending on the wound and system. I went out of my way to find this bottle with the highest concentration. Young Master Lei, pay attention when applying weapons, it is best not to directly contact the anesthetic with your hands, it is not easy to clean. The waiter explained to Lei Aotian.
Lei Aotian rewarded two taels of silver and put the small blue porcelain vase into his arms.
and Leng Xuan Dream walked out of the Warlock Pavilion.
With this bottle of anesthetic, Lei Aotian felt that tomorrow's task was more steady.
"For a total of fifty-five taels, I bought this small bottle of anesthetic? Loser, you have to negotiate the price, maybe it can be half cheaper! Fifty-five taels, my half a month's salary, can buy a lot of good things! Leng Xuanmeng complained on the side.
Lei Aotian ignored it, buying medicine, how could he, the identity of Young Master Lei, bargain!
Besides, bargaining may not be effective, and the efficacy of the medicine will be discounted.
This young lady will not understand the kindness of a woman!
However, the living expenses given by my father before, now after buying the medicine, there are twenty taels of silver left, and I will find a way to get some money later.
The inquisitors of the Inquisition House don't seem to have a way to make money from outside, at least the young lady Leng Jiemeng hasn't found a way to make a living with fast money, so she values money so much.
has been in the court for six years, and has reached the level of a black-robed judge second only to the red-robed judge, and he has not yet been wealthy, Lei Aotian feels that his fiancée is too much of a failure.
It was getting dark, and Lei Aotian and Leng Jiemeng walked slowly back to the judgment hall.
….
Hundreds of kilometers away from the Imperial City of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, under a ruined stone city, in the center of the gray underground palace, a small bright red fire ignited at this time.
The bright red light of the little tinder flashed and flickered, and it looked very weird.
In the center of this dungeon is an altar carved with complex formations.
Above the altar, a crystal coffin was infiltrated.
The formation around the crystal coffin is composed of many intricate indentations embedded in the stone floor.
The dents are all over the altar, and the center of the dents is connected to the lines on the outer wall of the crystal coffin.
At this time, within the indentation of the formation, black and red blood had penetrated into it.
In this silent underground palace, blood gradually covered with the dents of the formation, slowly flowing towards the crystal coffin.
Inside the crystal coffin, there was a corpse covered in white bandages, like a shriveled mummy.
But as the black and red blood in the formation converged into the crystal coffin, the altar's formation began to operate, and the flesh and blood of the corpse wrapped in white bandages gradually grew.
The shriveled mummy, bulging, became no longer shriveled, and short silver hair came out of the corpse's head.
The corpse recovered from the crystal coffin, judging from its size, is a female corpse!
The silver-haired female corpse, with her double eyelids not covered by white bandages, is trying to open them!
Blood-red eyeballs!
But the eyelids only opened for less than a second, and the eyelids of the female corpse in the crystal coffin closed again.
…
In the morning, Lei Aotian slept lazily and woke up at eight o'clock.
Because he had to carry out the task, Leng Xuanmeng did not ask him to practice his knife skills this morning.
After changing into a gray robe, he went to the bathroom, and applied the anesthetic in the small blue medicine bottle to his sleeve and the blade of the armor-piercing knife.
Put the two knives into the sheath, throw away the small blue medicine bottle, and Lei Aotian washed his hands for more than ten minutes before he went to have breakfast with Leng Jiemeng.
After a quick breakfast buffet, the two of them went to the arsenal of the Inquisition first and received two half-faced metal masks with exaggerated styles, which were grimace masks.
Lei Aotian took a look, it was obviously a high-end anti-virus filter mask.
"When you go down to the Imperial Tomb, wear this mask, you can be blessed by the Demon God, and you will not be poisoned by evil spirits, don't take it off without leaving the Imperial Tomb! Let's go, go outside the city, those Taoist priests will take us to the imperial tomb! Leng Jiemeng handed over the gas mask.
Lei Aotian carefully put away the gas mask.
More than an hour later, Leng Jiemeng and Lei Aotian left the city and went out from the eastern gate of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
For the first time, Lei Aotian saw the towering ancient city walls of the Heavenly Dragon Empire with his own eyes.
Not only are the troops of the Heavenly Dragon Empire guarding the city wall, but the stone wall of the city wall is even carved with formations.
"The walls have a defensive circle?" Lei Aotian asked curiously.
"It's not just the city wall, it's actually a super-large formation in the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire Imperial City. The many Taoist buildings in the imperial city are the nodes of these formations. Once this large array is activated, it is said that it can slaughter gods, but it consumes a huge amount of energy, and there is no way to maintain the open state on weekdays. The imperial city of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but the Dragon Emperor and Taoism have been operating the Taoist base camp for three hundred years! Leng Xuanmeng explained in a low voice.
The two of them left the city wall and walked a few hundred meters, and beside the pipe in front of them, there were seven old Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and carrying long swords on their backs.
The leader was a white-bearded old man, nodding slightly at Leng Xuanmeng.
"Captain Leng, the distance is a bit far, when you go, take the flying sword of the poor road, how is the flying sword of the imperial sword!" Lao Dao said.
"Good!" Leng Xuanmeng said.
The white-bearded man pulled out the flying sword behind his back, and after a law decision, the flying sword was suspended at low altitude and became larger.
In a matter of seconds, the flying sword was the size of a small canoe.
"Please!" Lao Dao pointed at the flying sword.
Leng Xuanmeng flew directly and jumped on the middle of the flying sword and stood in the middle.
Lei Aotian looked at it, he couldn't jump up at once, the distance between the big flying sword and the ground was a little high, and it was all up to his shoulder.
Can only climb up.
The seven veterans, looking at the gray-robed inquisitors who came together, actually used the flying sword that climbed, and their faces turned a little dark.
"This time I went to explore the Imperial Tomb of the Phoenix Empire, the danger is unknown. The seven of our brothers are all four-grade strength, Captain Leng, your strength is trustworthy. But the strength of your gray-robed men, once you encounter danger in the Imperial Mausoleum, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive, and it will drag us down. How about leaving him here to wait? Whitebeard jumped onto the hilt of the tip of his flying sword and tried to say to Leng Xuanmeng.
After Lei Aotian heard this, he also nodded, what this white-bearded old man said is too reasonable, his junior brother of the Nine Rank Martial Artist is actually waiting outside the city, and he doesn't want to rob the tomb.
Leng Jiemeng glanced at Lao Dao and said unceremoniously, "The Dragon Emperor agreed to the two places in the Inquisition for this mission. As for who the judgment will send, it will not be of concern to the chief of the Dao. On the contrary, it is such a big thing as exploring the imperial tomb, why did the Dragon Emperor only send seven fourth-grade Taoist priests, and not even the third-grade Taoist Venerable? ”
"This time, the poor Dao will lead the team first, if there is something in the Imperial Mausoleum that the poor Dao can't solve, the Dragon Emperor will naturally send a stronger Dao Venerable to come later." The white-bearded old man explained, and no longer mentioned the matter left by Lei Aotian.
