Chapter 418: Skinning and Bloody Corpses
58_58154 There was darkness in the underground palace, and even if Wu Zhiyuan turned his head, he couldn't see the appearance of the person who lifted himself in the air at all-but before Wu Zhiyuan could turn his head, he felt the power of the waist lift loosen, and his body suddenly fell from mid-air.
Fortunately, it was not too high, and Wu Zhiyuan supported the ground with both hands in time, so he was not injured, and after he landed, he rolled to the side, and at the same time looked up carefully on his back, only to see that the top of his head was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
"If you have the heart to save me, why don't you dare to report your name?" Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, and at the same time listened carefully to the surrounding movements. However, after a while, no one responded, as if the man had not heard at all, or that there was no one up there.
Wu Zhiyuan held his breath and listened carefully to the voices around him. The dungeon is so quiet, as long as the other party is a human and is still nearby, you will definitely be able to hear his breathing. But after a long time, I didn't hear any abnormal noise. There was only one person around him breathing, and that was himself.
"Is he already gone?" Wu Zhiyuan muttered, he could basically conclude that he had just mentioned himself as a person, and nothing else. But that person was able to climb the wall on the top of the underground palace without much effort to lift a person, which shows that his cultivation is very good.
Wu Zhiyuan sat on the ground and rested for a while, while thinking about what to do next. After thinking about it, he thought that there was only one road in front of him at this moment, and that was this 'hole' and 'hole' under the stone wall.
The 'woman' had reminded her that she could not enter this 'hole' or 'hole', and if she did, she would definitely die. But the two bannermen were already in the 'hole' and 'hole', but they did not encounter any danger. In this way, the words of the 'woman' are a bit alarmist, or she is saying them for some ulterior purpose.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan crossed his heart and leaned over to drill into the mouth of the largest 'hole'.
Although separated by a stone wall, the two ends of this stone wall did not seem to be different, except that they entered one dark environment from another. Wu Zhiyuan got into this 'hole' and 'hole' for only one purpose, that is, to follow those two bannermen, as long as he followed them, he might be able to find Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sun Haozi. In fact, he had another reason, the two bannermen had torches in their hands, and they could see the light when they followed, and after staying in this endless darkness for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan had a feeling that he was going to be 'driven' crazy.
Not long after the two flagmen left, they were armed with torches, and their target was obvious, and they should be able to catch up at this time. Wu Zhiyuan no longer hesitated, and chased along the stone wall in the direction where the two left.
Although it was in the dark, Wu Zhiyuan walked against the wall, so the speed was not slow, but he kept walking for about the time of 'touching' half of the incense, and he never saw the shadow of the two. Wu Zhiyuan began to retreat in his heart, and secretly thought: "Could it be that they are taking a different path?" ”
After thinking for a moment, it dawned on him that he couldn't see in the dark, and he kept moving along the stone wall, if there was a sudden fork in the road somewhere, then he would directly choose the road where the stone wall beside him was, and the two bannermen might have taken another road.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, he had been tossed for so long by the environment in this underground palace where he couldn't see his fingers, his patience had been gradually exhausted, and his heart had begun to become impetuous, which was a normal reaction of a normal person in this environment.
Wu Zhiyuan took a few deep breaths and stabilized his mind, he knew that in this environment, a calm mind was more important than a strong skill. After the mood had calmed down a bit, he continued along the stone wall. It's also dark behind you, so you can't turn back.
This time, Wu Zhiyuan only walked less than a dozen steps, and then he saw a little light as faint as a morning star not far away, the bright light was not dazzling, but it was very conspicuous in the dark. He fixed his eyes on the light, fearing that it would suddenly go out and lose his sense of direction, and ran towards the light without stopping.
As the footsteps approached, Wu Zhiyuan saw that the bright light was actually an oil lamp, the oil lamp was at the end of the road, and at the end was a huge stone 'gate', and the oil lamp was next to the stone 'gate', to be exact, it was not an oil lamp, but a lamp chiseled in the stone wall, the wick stretched out from the groove, the light was weak, but the brightness was uniform, quite vibrant. The lamp oil seemed to be poured into the groove in the stone wall, and Wu Zhiyuan could not see the amount of lamp oil in the groove where he was.
It has been about 20 years since the construction of this Cixi Mausoleum underground palace, how can there be an oil lamp with a stone wall as a lamp in the underground palace? When did this particular oil lamp start to be lit? If the underground palace was lit up at the beginning of its construction, wouldn't it have been lit up for 20 years? Where does the lamp oil come from?
A series of questions were churning in Wu Zhiyuan's mind, and it was not difficult to find the answers, just look at the oil in the groove of the oil lamp to know a rough idea. Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan walked to the oil lamp, and the probe was about to test the depth of the groove containing the lamp oil. Suppose there is a large water tank under the groove, and the tank is filled with lamp oil, it is not impossible that the oil lamp will continue to be on for 20 years without going out.
The height of the groove of the oil lamp was higher than that of Wu Zhiyuan, so he could only reach out and probe. Just as his hand was about to touch the edge of the groove, suddenly a shadow flickered beside him, and a man fell out of the crack in the nearby stone wall and fell to the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan was startled, looked down, couldn't help but be surprised, and retreated three feet. I saw a person lying on his side on the ground, the person's whole body was almost no longer an inch, the terrifying thing was that his whole body was blood-red, but there was not a drop of blood flowing out, his hideous face happened to be facing Wu Zhiyuan, his mouth was wide open, and his two eyes had bulged out, and it could be seen that he was dying extremely painfully.
Wu Zhiyuan forcibly suppressed the nausea in his heart, slowly walked to the man's side, and looked down carefully, but the man's whole body was bloody, and he couldn't see any wounds on his body at all. Wu Zhiyuan pulled out the peachwood sword behind his back, and used the tip of the sword to 'get' the person's body, and was surprised to find that the skin of the person's whole body had actually been stripped off! This body is just a corpse without human skin!
Wu Zhiyuan was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the man's face again, the skin of his face was also peeled off, but his appearance could still be clearly distinguished, Wu Zhiyuan repeatedly identified it, and found that this person was one of the two subordinates of Baolin Hall.
"How could he die here? What about the Moon Shadow? Wu Zhiyuan was a little anxious in his heart, this subordinate of Baolin Hall was buried here, does it mean that Moon Shadow Fuxian and Sun Haozi have also suffered an accident?
After a moment of silence, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the corpse in front of him again. He found a very strange problem, in the legend of the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the first punishment of peeling the skin is the first of the ten tortures, it is said that a very small wound is cut on the human head, and then poured mercury inside, the mercury is extremely heavy, pervasive, with the flow of mercury, at the same time the human skin is peeled off alive. Even in this kind of torture, there will still be a little skin residue behind the ears, armpits, fingers, etc., and it is impossible to pick up nothing at all. But the corpse in front of him was not skinned at all, as if a whole piece of human skin had been stripped away intact as if it had been undressed.
Wu Zhiyuan was shocked, although he was puzzled by the corpse in front of him, but he couldn't find the answer.
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a dull sound, he followed the sound, and saw that the stone 'door' next to the corpse was actually slowly pushed open--50322+dsuaahh+27807081->.
