Chapter 55. Tattooers

1

Once upon a time, there was a guy who was called, or called himself the "King of Drunkenness", whose life came to an end.

Somewhere in the Fog Spirit Mountains, he chose his palace after death.

It is said that his funeral procession amounted to tens of thousands. It included his priests, generals, and army.

Then, this whole team, which had been defeated and killed countless times, disappeared into the mountains and never appeared again.

In the next few hundred years, I don't know why, there were some "Xuwang Temples" in the surrounding hundreds of miles, and the lives of young girls had to be sacrificed every year, otherwise there would be various disasters in the local area.

Until one day, suddenly the heavens sent a divine punishment, and overnight, all the temples of the King of Xuwang were destroyed by thunder.

As a result, the temple and the sacrifices of the king of Xuwang also became extinct.

However, some stories about King Yu were passed down by word of mouth for some years, and some good deeds recorded them.

That record is the "Secret Record" obtained by Professor Cheng.

Later, in a small tomb in Wuling Mountain, a tomb robber dug up a batch of burial goods. Among the burial goods, there are some things that correspond to each other in the "Secret Stories". And the owner of the tomb left a record, saying that he was the last generation of the tomb keeper of King Xu, because the incense inheritance was cut off in his own generation, so he had to bury the duty of guarding the tomb and the tomb key into the Yellow Spring......

The burial goods were auctioned off in Titan City and were auctioned off by Sagir.

Through Sagir, these burial objects were obtained by Professor Cheng Wanlu, and after puzzles with some clues in the "Secret Stories", this expedition to find the tomb of King Yu was born.

Therefore, including Professor Cheng Wanlu herself, everyone thinks that this is a "tomb robbery" trip.

When the last mechanism was opened and entered the core of the "tomb", everything they saw in front of them made the three of them completely stunned.

There are no coffins in ordinary tombs, this is just a palace.

Inside the polygonal hall, nine golden pillars support the dome.

The three of them stood solemnly with weapons in hand.

Two rows of prostrated courtiers face the throne on the eighteenth staircase.

On the throne, King Yu supported his chin with one hand, overlooking the steps.

Of course, by this time they were all dried corpses.

……

The ground used for the "Pilgrimage" is four meters wide and twenty meters long.

Those courtiers who "bowed down" were nine on the left and nine on the left.

There are also two rows of black stone steps in front of them, each one meter and five wide, and in the middle of the stone steps are white stone slabs, on which are carved with charms and words.

Throughout the palace, on the pillars, on the thrones, and on the furnishings that were erected around it, there were gold and silver inlaid with precious stones.

Extreme luxury.

……

Carefully bypassing the prostrated corpses, Professor Cheng walked to the stone steps and first observed the carvings on the stone slab in the center of the stone steps.

She has been studying this semi-wedge-shaped and semi-pictographic script for several years, and she has already obtained it. Therefore, although it is impossible to translate it completely word by word, it is still no problem to understand the general meaning.

"The king—the king of the drunk, the guy in the throne above—will rule over the earth for a hundred years, and will return to the earth. This time, he will return to Huangquan, lead the heroic soul, continue the expedition, and will unify Jiuquan. The people were to sacrifice to the king every year with a living mouth, that is, a living person, and wait for the king to return with the power of the nine springs. The Hundred Guards have been left to guard the palace, and there is a Vestasy Circle outside the palace, as well as the Yakshas. If someone in the future can be approved by the Yaksha and pass through the Ecstasy Array, he will become a sacrificial life to awaken the king, and he will summon the king's soul under the nine springs with qi and blood as a sacrifice, and then the life span of the yang world will no longer be a limit......"

Professor Cheng looked at the words on the slate and roughly translated the meaning.

Sagir, on the other hand, walked up the stone platform from the stone steps on the other side with great interest.

The stone platform is not large, five meters long and five meters wide, and the central throne occupies two meters.

At either end of the throne, there were excessively wide armrests, and the dried corpse, sitting between the two armrests, was dressed in golden armor.

On the golden helmet overhead, a ruby glittered in the firelight.

To his right, there was a golden shelf with three weapons on it.

A spear, a broadsword, a long knife.

Compared to the glittering golden shelves, these three weapons were jet black and gloomy, and lacklustre.

In front of the throne was a chest.

Sagir's generation grew up playing games.

In the game, there is a part of the game that all players love to see, called "opening treasure chests".

And at this time, just in front of the throne of King Xu, there was a treasure chest.

Moreover, this is a veritable "golden treasure chest".

Fifty centimeters wide, thirty-five centimeters high, and forty centimeters thick, the whole body is covered in gold, and it is full of ornate carvings and inlaid with gemstones of various colors.

How precious will the treasures contained in such a gorgeous and expensive treasure chest be?

For Sagir, who has lived a privileged life since childhood, it is not that he is greedy for treasures, but purely curious about "treasures", so that he involuntarily reaches out and opens the treasure chest.

The lid is heavy, suggesting that the chest is probably made entirely of gold.

When the lid was opened, Sagir naturally looked into the chest.

The box was actually full, a box of black liquid!

Sajir was stunned, only the moment he was stunned, a string of bubbles appeared under the black liquid.

Floating with the bubbles was the head of a beautiful woman.

Against the background of the black liquid, a face as white as jade emerged.

Her skin was as silky as milk; The eyebrows are parted at an extremely elegant angle under the smooth forehead; Closed eyes, long eyelashes that curve slightly upward; The bridge of the nose is slender and towering, and the shape of the wings of the nose is just right; The lips are plump, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and it seems that a smile will appear at any moment......

Just when Sagir was attracted by this beautiful face and lost his mind for a moment, the beautiful woman's head opened its eyes.

"Xiao Sa, don't move that box!"

Standing on the stone steps, still trying to identify the carved Professor Cheng, he suddenly found that Sagir had quietly climbed onto the top of the stone platform, and reached out to open the golden box, and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Unfortunately, after a step of slowness, Sagir still opened the box.

Professor Cheng suddenly felt a force pouring out of the box and rushing towards him.

Then, as the power rushed into his body and backwards through his body, a state that he had never felt before struck.

It's like shedding the innate weight all of a sudden, like a snake shedding its skin, like a snail throwing away its shell, like a pack horse with a load, and suddenly becoming lighter!

Then, she watched as her body collapsed to the ground as if it had no bones.

At the same time, he was still standing still, looking at everything around him.

The same goes for Sagir.

At this time, both Sagil and Professor Cheng stood in the state of "soul body", or "ghost", watching their bodies fall to the ground at a loss, and looking at the panicked translucent "people" standing next to each other's fallen bodies.

A distant and muffled sound of war drums came.

The sound of the drum, heavy and solemn and depressing, hit the soul directly, bringing a strong murderous aura.

6

As the war drums sounded, the armor soldiers who had been standing around the palace began to move.

Over time, their bodies have become dried corpses.

Water in the human body accounts for 70% of body weight. As the years of drying, all the water in these corpses disappears, so that the skin, muscle, and fat are tightly attached to the bones, forming dense wrinkles on the blackened epidermis.

The vitreous of the eyeball had already volatilized and dried up, but at this time, a dark red flame ignited.

They were awakened by the drums of war, and their souls tried to break free from their bodies, but they directly drove the shriveled bodies, as well as the armor and weapons outside the bodies, to move forward together!

The eighteen courtiers who bowed down under the throne also raised their heads. They did not stand up, but like wild beasts, their limbs propped up on the ground, and they staggered a few times, looking for a new ...... Or the adaptation of the body after being reawakened.

The only exception is Xiao Yu.

When the power burst out of the chest, skimming over her body, her soul was not separated from her body.

Instead, a light emanated from her bones that only the soul could see, making her clothes, skin, muscles, and internal organs transparent.

Then, in this transparent shadow, her bones were clearly visible.

And her bones are densely packed, slowly carving complex runes!

"The Tattooer."

Professor Cheng looked at Xiao Yu, who was only two meters away from him, and muttered to himself.
