Chapter 130, Old Witch
Obsidian has never had such a reaction, the changes in the obsidian before were all based on Tang Yao's emotional changes, only when Tang Yao was angry and angry, the obsidian would turn red and even release a magnetic field like a flame, but now Tang Yao did not have extremely angry emotions, but the obsidian began to turn red and become hot, which made Tang Yao very surprised, and secretly said in his heart: Could it be that there is something in this underground palace that makes the obsidian turn red and hot?
And when she crossed the wind wall before, the old woman's tone suddenly changed, and she seemed to be very unwilling for Tang Yao to enter the underground palace, and even agreed to send Tang Yao out, although Tang Yao didn't believe that the old woman was sincere, but it also showed that there was something in the underground palace in disguise.
He walked into the underground palace full of doubts, the palace was dark, the space inside the palace was much smaller than he imagined, it was not the feeling that he couldn't see the edge at a glance, he took out his mobile phone to illuminate, and soon saw an altar-like facility appear in front of him, and the closer he got to it, the more he could hear the sound of flowing water coming from the altar.
He approached step by step with his mobile phone, and looked back at the outside of the underground palace from time to time, the old woman had already taken the black dragon up the stone steps, but stopped outside the palace, the palace obviously had no gate, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking the way for her and the black dragon to advance.
"What's the matter, why didn't this old woman come in?" Tang Yao was puzzled in his heart, and vaguely felt that things didn't seem to be good, at the same time, he had already walked in front of the facility that seemed to be the altar, the light source of the mobile phone illuminated part of the altar, the whole altar was not as wide as imagined, there were three sculptures above the altar, and the base part was carved with countless humanoid patterns, these humanoid patterns on the base were all the same movements, his arms were raised high, as if he was longing or praying for something, and the three sculptures above the altar looked like three holy women, these women lowered their heads, Holding a plate in both hands, two of the sculptures are empty, and only the middle one has a wooden box on it.
And at the foot of the altar sculpture, that is, at the feet of these three women who looked very holy, there was a pool, Tang Yao looked at it and was startled, because the pool was full of red liquid, which looked like blood, he dared to get closer and sniffed it only to find that there was no smell of blood, and if you look closely, you will find that these so-called blood are actually just dyed red pigment.
Tang Yao put his mind at ease, but he still felt that the shape of the entire altar was too weird, it looked like three goddesses had descended into the world, bringing three treasures, and all beings in the world bowed down and prayed to get the treasures, Tang Yao didn't know who carved this altar, but he was still amazed by the superb craftsmanship of the altar, and it was really admirable to be able to make such exquisite sculptures in such a long time.
Only one of the three goddesses was holding a box in his hand, Tang Yao boldly speculated that there were once three treasures here, but perhaps this dragon tomb had been broken into in the past, for example, it was rumored that the master of the Mo family had broken into this dragon tomb and taken away the obsidian, that is, two of the three treasures that had been taken away here had been taken away, and one remained, Tang Yao was very curious about what was in this box, maybe it was because of the existence of this treasure, so the old woman outside didn't want Tang Yao to go underground in the palace.
However, for the sake of prudence, Tang Yao did not directly reach out to open the treasure box, the obsidian in his pocket was already a little hot at the moment, Tang Yao took out the obsidian and slowly approached the box held by the goddess sculpture, he immediately found that the closer the obsidian was to the box, the more the temperature would increase significantly, and the temperature of the obsidian would drop a little after taking it a little farther.
In this way, the change of obsidian has a lot to do with the box in front of you.
At this time, the old woman standing at the door of the underground palace shouted to Tang Yao with the help of her skull: "I promise you, as long as you withdraw from this place now, I will send you out of the Star Palace." ”
"Is this underground mausoleum called the Star Palace, then tell me who is buried in that sarcophagus first, and who are you?" Tang Yao asked.
"I am the royal witch of the Han Emperor of Great Xia, this is the Han Emperor's Imperial Star Palace, and it is the resting place that the Han Emperor has prepared for eternal life." The old woman said loudly.
Tang Yao sneered and shook his head and said: "Who are you fooling, do you believe your nonsense when I am a three-year-old child, the Xia Dynasty is thousands of years ago, it is impossible to live until now, although you look very old and terrifying, but at most you are only eighty or ninety years old, if you can live from the Xia Dynasty to the present, wouldn't it be thousands of years old?" Looking at it this way, the so-called Han Emperor doesn't need to seek the method of eternal life, can't he just learn it from you? ”
Seeing Tang Yao's contemptuous tone, the old woman immediately showed anger and shouted: "I am indeed not born in the Xia Dynasty, nor thousands of years old, I am eighty years old this year, but since I was born, I was selected by the family to be the witch who guards the Han Emperor and the Star Palace, I have been learning the blood witch art passed down from the family since I was a child, looking forward to one day being able to wake up the Han Emperor, I thought that it would be impossible to see the Han Emperor wake up in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that after a solar eclipse this year, there was a sound in the Han Emperor's sarcophagus, I never expected that the Han Emperor would gradually wake up, And began to according to the ancestral blood witch law, with a total of 99 kinds of animals, birds and beasts, a pair of male and female blood watered the bones of the Han Emperor, the bones will begin to grow carrion after three months, and then water with human blood, the energy in the human blood needs to reach a certain level, the carrion will gradually transform into fresh flesh and blood, and finally the spirit flesh will be one, and the Han Emperor will return. ”
The old woman said a lot, obviously wanting Tang Yao to be careful of her words, which also showed that the only remaining treasure in the underground palace was very important, even more important than the secret art of the Blood Witch Clan.
This so-called resurrection method made Tang Yao a little panicked when he heard it, but thinking that the corpse he saw before had indeed grown carrion, he felt that this method might have some truth, but this so-called "truth" was not to resurrect people, but to make corpses.
Tang Yao didn't know the specific method of making a corpse, but the behavior of the corpse monster he saw seemed to be very similar to the corpse in the sarcophagus, if the corpse in this sarcophagus was really a certain emperor of the Xia Dynasty, then the time was thousands of years ago, and the steps and materials required to make it into a corpse monster must be more cumbersome, the Blood Witch clan may have really served this Han Emperor, but after his death, he watched the power and status of the Han Emperor, so he wanted to make it into a corpse monster so that he could control it, But such a rebellious act would definitely be punished by capital punishment if it was widely advertised, so the ancestors of the Blood Witch clan came up with a way to hide people's eyes, that is, to lie about resurrecting the Han Emperor, so that what they did was logical, but unfortunately the truth was buried with the passage of time, and even the descendants of the Blood Witch clan thought that they were resurrecting the Han Emperor instead of creating corpse monsters.
Tang Yao constructed a huge conspiracy in his mind in a very short period of time, and all aspects made sense, at this time, when he looked at the old woman in front of him again, there was a little more pity in his eyes, an old woman who had been deceived for eighty years and dealt with dead people every day did not know what she was doing at this age, thinking that she was resurrecting the great ancient emperor, but in fact she was just creating terrible corpse monsters, and since the descendants of the Blood Witch clan no longer knew the original purpose, then I am afraid that the method of controlling the corpse monsters has also been lost, When the time comes, Emperor Han, who wakes up after turning into a corpse monster, may become a monster that is a hundred times more terrifying than the ancient corpse monster that Tang Yao encountered, but fortunately, he has such a variable, so that the corpse monster who just woke up will completely stop eating.
"What kind of eyes are you, why are you looking at me like that?" The old woman asked with a frown.
Tang Yao sighed and said: "You may not know what you are doing, but I advise you, the person who should leave here is you, it is impossible for Emperor Han to wake up again, your mission has been completed, leave here and find a place to enjoy your old age." ”
The old woman slammed the ground with the wooden staff in her hand and shouted: "Emperor Han will wake up again sooner or later, now I warn you for the last time, when you come out of the Star Palace, I can promise to send you away safely, but if you dare to touch anything inside, I will definitely let you experience the horror of the secret art of the witch clan, so that you can't survive and die." ”
"Then tell me first, what's in this box?" Tang Yao asked.
"I don't know, the ancient precepts of my clan strictly prohibit me from stepping into the Star Palace for half a step, there is a curse here, once I step into it, I will die violently within three days, there is no cure, I also advise you not to mess around, there may be other curses in the Star Palace, which can kill a poor mortal like you in an instant." The old woman said coldly.
