Chapter Eighty-Five: Little Lethe

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, after Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to Ling Chi, the people along the way hated Liaodong Tatars very much, and hated the traitorous behavior of collaborating with the enemy and treason. There is no money to support the people, the poor people compete to snatch Yuan Chonghuan's raw meat from the executioner, and a piece of meat is often torn into several pieces by the scramble, and the whole scene is like a "human flesh auction". In the end, Yuan Chonghuan only had one head left, which was sent by Emperor Chongzhen to the nine passes of the Great Wall to be displayed to deter the border generals. His guards could not preserve his body, so they secretly retrieved his head and buried it. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest with superb skills named Xuanzhi, and the people called him Xuanzhi. It is rumored that he personally did a ritual for Yuan Chonghuan.

I took a closer look at the talisman sealed at the entrance of the cave, which depicts the Taoist Pure World Fu Mantra, maybe Xuanzhi was also afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would be too resentful, so he pasted these talismans here to prevent Yuan Chonghuan from coming out.

"Feng Kai was here back then?" , I asked.

"Ancestor Feng Kai did come here, and exchanged the secret book of the Jieling Pulse for the Heavenly Mandate Water."

"And how did he get to the third layer?"

"Feng Kai's Ancestor is unfathomable, he will definitely not be able to steal the hole like us."

"Yes." , I nodded, an elite like Feng Kai who came out of the four doors of tomb robbery would definitely not come to the point of getting in by robbing holes.

"Monk, uncover the talisman, let's go down."

Yuan Hong stepped forward and tore off the Pure World Fu Spell one by one, and threw them aside.

"Lao Zhang, look at me!" , Yuan Hong raised the demon slaying Zen staff above his head and smashed it down against the stone.

With a bang, a dark hole appeared in the place where the Zen staff fell, and I went over to see that it was pitch black and bottomless.

"Flame Talisman!" , I dropped a fire talisman, and the lit talisman was instantly extinguished the moment I entered.

I frowned, and my face became a little ugly.

Yuan Hong also said in a deep voice: "There is dead air below, it seems that Yuan Chonghuan is not small." ”

"I'm afraid he's going to become a ghost."

"It's hard." , Yuan Hong smiled bitterly.

Generally become a ghost of the demon, not to mention the ability to tear the earth and seal the king, but also to be able to run rampant, black and white impermanence, Mrs. White Bone is the peak of ghosts and demons, although I have now practiced several peak Taoist techniques, but when I encounter black and white impermanence, I still have no bottom in my heart.

"Flashlight!" , I beckoned, and Cao Xin hurriedly handed me the flashlight.

I took a picture below, and the space on the third floor was the largest, and there were hundreds of soldiers in armor standing there in the innermost part of the third floor, which seemed to be the dead soldiers who accompanied the burial, and it should be said that it was closer to the Yin soldiers. Behind the soldiers was a river, a river of blood, to be exact. There seems to be something in the river of blood, but I can't see it very clearly at such a distance.

We waited above for about half an hour, and I said, "It's almost gone, you can go down." ”

I put away my flashlight and was about to go down, but I caught a glimpse of my palm.

"Huh?" I looked at my right hand in amazement.

"What's wrong?" , Ling Han asked.

"Look." , I opened my palm, and the palm print on my right hand was actually divided into three.

"Moro!" , Ling Han exclaimed, and Yuan Hong and several people also came over.

"It's a blessing in disguise, your reversal of life has not only sucked up the little power that old guy has left, but also the Moroline!" , Yuanhong looked at me with envy.

"Who knows if it's a blessing or a curse!"

I muttered to myself and walked down the stairs. Madohiro followed behind me, holding a Zen staff with a wary face.

"Good guy, there are really a lot of followers of Yuan Chonghuan before his death, so many people are willing to die for him." , Yuan Hong said in surprise, he stepped forward and touched the weapon in the hand of the dead man.

"Don't!" I shouted, but it was still a step too late, and the dead soldiers with weapons in their hands raised their heads one after another, and their empty eyes looked at us.

"Won't you, live?" , Yuan Hong took a step back in fright.

I spoke, "These dead men were imprisoned in their bodies by secret methods after death, they are similar to corpse golems, but they are more dangerous than corpse golems, because they still have memories of their lives. ”

As soon as the words fell, the leading dead man let out a hoarse voice: "Those who trespass on the general's mausoleum, kill!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers raised their swords in unison and slaughtered Yuanhong.

"Buddha, I'll let you die again today!" , The Buddha light of the Zen staff in Yuanhong's hand surged, and he rushed into the crowd with a loud shout.

After all, the dead are not living creatures, and the flexibility of their bodies is greatly reduced, turning them into machines that can only kill. Yuan Hong rushed into it to fight left and right, and the demon slaying staff was blown by the tiger and tiger he danced, and several dead people were knocked to the ground in a flash of Buddha light. Yuanhong became more and more brave the more he fought, but those dead soldiers were not afraid of pain at all, and their bodies were extremely hard, and after being knocked down by Yuanhong, they quickly stood up, so Yuanhong's physical consumption was also huge.

"Monk, fight quickly!" I shouted, and I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart, I didn't know what was going to happen in this strange tomb.

Yuan Hong listened to my words, swept the Zen staff in one hand and swept around, and the other hand quickly formed a seal, and he shouted: "Great thunder spell, thunder sound to destroy demons!" ”

He opened his mouth, and the sound of thunder shook the tomb to dust, and the soldiers fell to the ground, covering their ears.

"Boom!" , Yuan Hong spit out the six-character mantra of the Buddha family from his mouth, and the substantial Buddha light hit the soldiers' bodies, and in the blink of an eye, cracks appeared on the bodies of those soldiers, and they slowly turned into white bones under the light of the Buddha's light.

"Alright, solved!" , Yuan Hong came over with a Zen staff.

"Let's go, go to that river of blood." I walked over and lit a few lamps, and in an instant the whole burial chamber became bright.

We walked to the edge of the river of blood, and the smell of fish in our faces made people retch.

"I'll go, this old Yuan is also heavy enough to get such a thing." , Yuan Hong couldn't stop fanning his nose.

"It's like ...... here Lethe River of Blood. I pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"The one in the underworld?"

"Yes."

I looked at the surface of the river for a while, and the liquid of the blood river was actually flowing, and a few white bones floated on it from time to time, and there seemed to be living creatures surging at the bottom of the river.

"Monk, do you think this place will lead to the underworld?" , I thought about it and asked.

"Impossible, at most, this place is just imitating the structure of the Lethe River of Blood."

"Then he must have been to the underworld."

"In history, the battles that Yuan Chonghuan participated in have also appeared in Yin soldiers to borrow the way, maybe he really went." , Yuanhong Road.

"Let's not talk about it, let's think about how to get there."

"Okay, I'll try the depth first!" , Yuan Hong smiled, waved the Zen staff in his hand, and thousands of Buddha lights poured into the river of blood.

With a bang, a stinking wave of blood churned up, and the blood wave was mixed with a few fish with sharp teeth.

"Lethe River Blood Fish, I'm more and more suspicious that this place is related to the Lethe River Blood River in the underworld."

"Thunder Slayer Demon Slayer!" , Yuan Hong roared, and the strong thunder sound stirred up a thousand waves of blood, and several blood fish were slapped to the shore, along with a few white bones and scorpions and other things.

I swung my sword and slew those creatures, for everything in this river of blood was poisonous.

"The river is bottomless, I'm afraid it's not good." , Yuanhong Road.

I looked up at the bronze coffin on the other side of the Blood River, which was a few points larger than Li Jing's, and had some obscure patterns carved on it. There is a stone platform next to the bronze coffin, on which is a quaint book, which should be the secret book of the Jieling line left by Feng Kai.

"Since Feng Kai can come from somewhere else, then there must be another way to the other side." I looked around and spoke.

Just as I was thinking about how to get over, Yuan Hong patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhang, look at it." ”

I looked up and saw that there were two large spiders entrenched above the burial chamber, and they were still spitting silk, which was as thick as a finger-thick hemp rope.

"There's a way." , I said.

"What's the solution?"

"Go over the spider silk."

Everyone looked up, the spider's foot was the size of a football and looked terrifying, and it was even more difficult to get past the spider silk.

"It's a ghoul spider, I've seen it in a tomb, and I have a way to lure it down." , Cao Xin stepped forward and took out a candle and lit it. In an instant, a scent came out.

"It's corpse incense."

"That's right."

The moment the candle was lit, the two large spiders above moved, crawling down from the silk by the scent.

Cao Xin kept retreating with the candle, and the two big spiders greedily sucked the corpse incense and ignored us at all, and crawled forward with Cao Xin's footsteps.

"It's now, let's go." , I grabbed the spider silk arm and climbed up hard, Yuanhong and they also climbed up after me, Cao Xin threw the candle to the side, and climbed up with us. The two big spiders crawled in the direction of the candle, and when they found out that it was just a candle that gave off a scent, the two big spiders became angry, and countless small spiders gushed out of their mouths, densely making people get goosebumps.

Countless small spiders are swarming towards us, and the speed is staggering.

"Lao Zhang, they're coming!"

"You go over first, I'll burn this place!"

Yuan Hong and the others walked past me, and black flames poured out of my chest with the seal of my hands, burning the little spiders along with the spider silk.

Dense spiders fell down to the river of blood below, and the blood fish in the river were waiting for this effortless food with their mouths open, and it was like a rain of fire in the sky.

After some climbing, we finally got to the other side of the river.

"I'm going, I'm finally here." , Yuanhong rubbed his sore feet and neck, this thing has a fear of heights, and he almost didn't fall off when he climbed just now.

I looked at the huge copper coffin, and just as I wanted to walk over to take a look, a hoarse voice suddenly came from inside the copper coffin.

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you in Xiaolichuan for a long time."
