Chapter 17: Whose Tomb Is It?
After jumping into the tunnel at the same time, each hung the red rope net in his hand on the raised stone block on the road wall.
This is done to cover the mouth of the pit and prevent the yin qi from leaking out and attracting other yin objects.
The smell of stone chips and gunpowder intertwined was very pungent, Qin Yue covered his mouth and nose, and complained, "It stinks!"
If it weren't for the fear that Yin would get out of trouble and harm people, and for the fear that Du Hengzhen would send the video of his formation back to Maoshan, he would not want to wade into this troubled water.
The two of them walked deeper, and it was pitch black inside, and the yin qi was even thicker.
After turning left and right in the tunnel for a while, everything in the depths of the end became clear.
Below the wall of the cave there was a cavern leading to the bottom, with a stone staircase at the edge of the cave.
Qin Yue followed Du Heng and walked down, the steps were not long, and it didn't take long for him to seem to be at the end.
But there seemed to be a shake under his feet, and it was the same step again, and this situation continued.
Qin Yue felt strange and glanced at Du Heng, "Hey! What's going on? β
Du Heng was silent, took out a coin from his pocket and put it at his feet, and they walked down again.
There were coins as references, only to find out that they had not moved at all.
"We've run into the Phantom Ladder." Du Heng said.
Qin Yue heard Yan Kun say that the Phantom Soul Ladder was a kind of formation, no matter how he walked, he was going around in circles, making people lose their sense of direction.
The difference between the steps is very small, and it is designed to give people the illusion of a high and low drop.
This kind of phantom ladder was first used in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty and was used for anti-theft.
Qin Yue understood that there was a tomb underground, and thinking of the strange roar he heard before, he had a bad premonition.
Du Heng obviously thought of it too, he took out two red cloths and handed one to Qin Yue, "Blindfold your eyes!" β
Qin Yue knew that if he was blindfolded, he would not be confused by the Phantom Soul Ladder.
There are a total of forty-four levels of the Phantom Ladder, and if you can't see it, you can reach the flat ground by counting to forty-four.
This method was really useful, after walking to the flat ground, Qin Yue untied the red cloth and saw that the way was blocked by a stone wall.
As if he hadn't seen the stone wall, Du Heng walked over directly, and the whole person passed through the stone wall.
It turned out that this stone wall was made of Yin Qi, Qin Yue was not high after all, he didn't see it, but Du Heng saw through it at a glance.
Qin Yue followed through the stone wall and found a pile of corpses lying crookedly in front of him, these corpses were wet and rotten, obviously wet corpses.
Wet corpses, also known as corpses, are formed because of the moist environment after being placed in the soil.
Previously, the Dustless Mage and the others had accidentally awakened these corpses, causing them to almost break through the ground.
"Whose grave is this?" Qin Yue looked around and found that the topography of this tomb was octagonal, and the eight walls were all made of cement to be smooth and smooth.
Charms were painted on every wall, and it was evident that this place had only been altered in the back, intending to trap the corpses.
"Could it be that this isβ" Du Heng didn't finish speaking, his face turned pale.
"What is it?" Qin Yue was very curious, what kind of place was this that made Du Hengti change color.
"Gossip Nine Yin Palace!" Du Heng said slowly.
A hundred years ago, a cult called 'Blood Gate' refined many corpses in order to fight against the entire Xuan Realm, and they were all annihilated.
Sect Advocate Kui was not reconciled, so he injected himself with zombie venom and refined himself into a corpse king.
The heads of the various sects joined forces, and it took a lot of effort to seal Zhang Kui, and all the heads of the sects were seriously injured at that time, and a lot of Taoism was damaged.
It is said that Zhang Kui refined himself into the Corpse King in a place called Bagua Jiuyin Palace.
The location of the Bagua Nine Yin Palace is very secret, and the heads of the various sects finally found it, and after sealing Zhang Kui inside, they did not disclose this place to the outside world.
With the passage of time and the death of these masters, no one knows the correct location of the Bagua Nine Yin Palace.
Du Heng also heard his master mention it when he was a child, and his master didn't say it in detail, so he didn't know that the Bagua Nine Yin Palace was hidden under the Bagua Gathering Yin Land.
Qin Yue was originally the young master of the first family of Xuanmen, and of course he had also heard of the gossip Nine Yin Palace.
He pretended to be shocked, "So, the evil thing trapped here is Zhang Kui, and he is about to wake up?" β
"It's very likely that we will solve these corpses first, and re-seal Zhang Kui before he completely wakes up, and you can also show your real skills, don't hide them anymore." Du Heng said with a solemn expression.
Qin Yue was willing to come down with him, but he thought that Qin Yue had hidden his true strength.
"How can I be, be careful!" As soon as Qin Yue was about to defend himself, he saw a corpse get up from the ground and rush straight towards Du Heng.
Du Heng's reaction was also fast, he turned around and raised his foot, and kicked the corpse out violently.
At the same time, a corpse staggered to its feet, squirting black liquid at them.
"Get out of the way!" Du Heng roared and pulled Qin Yue to the side.
The liquid squirted down where they had just stood, making a clattering sound.
Qin Yue had heard early that the corpse was soft but not hard, and that it would spew venom from its mouth, and if it was stained with this venom, its skin would fester.
In this case, he naturally wouldn't pretend anymore, and asked Du Heng urgently, "Did you bring a fire talisman?" β
It is not difficult to deal with corpses, and they are most afraid of fire, especially runic fire, which can also be restrained with a peachwood sword.
The problem is that Qin Yue was taken to Fang's house on the way to work, and then came here directly, bringing nothing.
Du Heng sprinkled a handful of cinnabar, forced the corpse back, and then took out the fire talisman and the peach wood talisman he brought, and gave some to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue threw out a piece of peach wood talisman, and after hitting one of the corpses, it burst out with a crackling sound, as if it had been fried.
Looking at Du Heng again, his body shape and technique were as fast as lightning, and the fire talisman was used by him, and his power was far greater than that of Qin Yue.
Obviously, a lot of corpses were destroyed, but other corpses came from other tombs one after another.
"How can there be so many corpses?" Qin Yue's brows furrowed.
"It can't go on like this!" After Du Heng finished speaking, he took out a piece of red rune paper.
Qin Yue was secretly shocked, the talismans were divided into levels, which were yellow talismans, red talismans, purple talismans, and black talismans.
The higher the level of the rune, the more powerful it is, except for the most common yellow rune, other colors of rune paper are already rare.
As soon as Du Heng made a move, it was a red talisman, or a Jiuxuan blasting talisman, which was rare.
I saw Du Heng slam the Nine Xuan Explosion Talisman on the ground, and read loudly, "Taifa Nine Xuan, Ten Thousand Gods Worship Ceremony, Control the Thunder, and Ten Thousand Yin are all broken!" β
As soon as the word 'broken' fell, countless fiery red currents spread out from the rune paper and rushed towards the corpse.
As soon as the corpse touched the red electricity, it exploded like a landmine.
For a while, the blood mist was filled, and broken hands and feet were scattered all over the ground.
There was a disgusting smell of blood and rancid smell in the air.
"That's amazing!" Qin Yue couldn't help but smack his tongue, the power of the red rune was stronger than he imagined, and he solved all the corpses at once.
Before Du Heng could stand up, he suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! β
