Chapter Twenty-Six: The Leech Queen

From the bottom to the top, the characters carved on the stone pillars with small seals are: Hell, Hungry Ghosts, Animals, Humans, Asuras, and Heavens.

These are the six realms, and the ancients believed that after death, they would be reincarnated according to the size of their karma, which is often referred to as the six realms of reincarnation.

The six paths, also known as the six pleasures of life and death wheels, are the wheels of life and death in the six realms of the Three Realms, and are surrounded by the arms of the wheel saint king with ugly faces, unkempt fangs, feet on the head, and mouth title wheels, so as to indicate that people's karma is irreversible.

The construction and layout of this burial chamber are entirely based on this, and if you look down from the top of the burial chamber, you will see a complete set of the six joys of life and death.

The infant coffin is a kind of evil burial, is the use of full-term male babies, drowning in water without blood, the baby's yang qi must ensure that the pure yang qi will not leak, the drowning infant corpse still retains the yang energy, with these infant corpses placed on the six reincarnations, will ensure that the tomb yang energy does not decay all year round, it is said that this method can make people transcend the six reincarnations and come back to life.

But because it is too cruel and evil, the infant corpse is extremely resentful, and if it is buried in this way, it will be trapped by the resentful soul if it is not careful, and it will never be able to be reborn, so even if it is the temptation to come back to life, no one dares to try to bury it in this way.

However, this is the place where the Xuanwu seal is hung, the Xuanwu lord is dead, and the ghost of the place where the seal is hung does not dare to make a time, it was originally a feng shui place of the great murder pattern, but it is used to restrain the anger of the infant corpse resentment spirit, which shows that the person who built this ancient tomb has reached the peak of Feng Shui's attainments.

"Do you believe in ghosts?" Tian Ji listened to me and asked seriously.

"Of course I don't believe it, if I really believe this, who would do tomb robbery." I shook my head and replied in a stalwart reply. "However, the owner of the tomb is convinced of this."

"I really want to see who this tomb owner is, he is so desperate and crazy, and he actually kills so many baby boys for his own selfish desires." The palace lord looked around and was indignant.

Now what I'm most curious about is not the identity of the tomb owner, the infant coffin supports the corpse, the coffin of the tomb owner must be on the top layer, and I am not afraid of the tomb owner running after thousands of years of death, but I have always wondered what the more than 100 baby corpses should be buried with the tomb owner, what is the reason for such a long time, so that the body is not only not rotten, but also so well preserved.

I took the torch and approached a baby corpse to take a closer look, the baby corpse in the fire was eerie, and I was surprised to see that there was blood flowing in the subcutaneous blood vessels that could be blown and broken, and then I looked down, the umbilical cord of the baby corpse had not been cut, and it had sunk under the pillar from between the legs.

I wasn't even sure if the baby boys were dead, I hesitated and carefully put my finger under the baby's nose, I didn't feel the snort, and when I was about to take my hand away, the baby's eyes suddenly opened, the baby's eyes were the clearest and purest, but now the eyes I was looking at made me shudder.

The dark pupils have been dilated, the stiff eyeballs are covered with black bloodshots, the eyes of the baby corpse do not blink at all, staring at me in a daze, through violent resentment and killing, I subconsciously squirmed the Adam's apple, and felt that my legs were a little weak.

What frightened me even more was that the infant corpse slowly stood up from the pillar, and continued to rise and look down at me condescendingly, and I saw that the umbilical cord attached to the navel of the infant corpse stretched out from the pillar, supporting the infant corpse to move flexibly.

Before I could react, the mouth of the baby corpse slowly opened, so the baby should not have teeth, but the baby corpse's mouth was full of sharp teeth, and suddenly rushed down at me, I couldn't dodge and block it with my hand, only to hear a click, and I saw your baby corpse fall to the ground in the gap between my fingers.

"It's really a sin, how did you encounter this disgusting thing." Tian Jiyan quickly cut it off with a knife. "Didn't you say that dead people don't move, why do all the dead people in this tomb move."

The umbilical cord of the infant corpse had just been cut, and it instantly dried up and withered into a dried corpse in front of our eyes, but the umbilical cord was still swinging back and forth, and the black blood sprayed from it was splashing everywhere.

The retreat behind him has been blocked by the infant corpse on the lower floor, we can only run up the steps with a dagger, Tian Ji holds a dagger in front of the way, fortunately he is extraordinary, slashing left and right to kill a bloody road.

When I reached the top floor, I saw that the palace lord and Tian Ji in front of me were stiff and stunned on it, and they ran too fast to catch them, knocking them to the ground, and when I raised my head, I suddenly opened my mouth in shock, and looked at the front stupidly.

A huge white wriggling flesh-like thing, hanging on the top floor of the tomb wall, looks somewhat similar to the Hades leech we saw on the female corpse, but it is much larger than the Hades leech, that thing is estimated that the three of us can't hug it, from the meat sac stretched out dozens of thick tentacles writhing like snakes, erected open mouth full of fangs and squeaked at us.

Leech Queen!

This is what I have been worried about not seeing, but I didn't expect it to be placed in the main burial chamber, and the coffin of the tomb owner is just below the leech queen, and directly above it is dripping with red liquid, which just falls into the flesh sac, and the constantly wriggling body sucks greedily.

I suddenly understood what was going on, the main burial chamber should be directly below the coffin where the female corpse was placed, and the blood of those who had been gathered into the coffin seeped down, awakening not only the Hades leech, but also the ghost leech queen.

Tian Ji and Gong Jue got up from the ground dumbfounded, I stood in place and turned around, all around were slowly rising baby corpses with teeth and claws, supporting the baby corpse is not the umbilical cord at all, but the tentacles of the ghost leech queen, no wonder these baby corpses are not rotten, presumably the ghost leech queen and the Hades leech have the same ability to keep the corpse alive, and at the same time can control the corpse, the fangs in the baby's mouth are pierced into the head of the tentacles in the infant corpse.

"What now?" The three of us leaned back against each other, and Tian Ji asked behind him.

No one answered him, because no one had ever seen the Leech Queen, and we didn't know what to do, not to mention that we had nothing to defend ourselves against, and we could hardly do anything but sit back and wait for death in the face of a horde of hideous and terrifying infant corpses.

"These baby corpses are all controlled by the leech queen, capture the thief and capture the king first, unless we kill the ghost leech queen, we only have a dead end." I clenched my fists, in fact I knew that resistance was futile.

"How the do you kill with a dagger?" Tian Ji asked.

"Dagger for me!" Gong Jue's voice was suddenly cold. “

A dagger don't want to say kill the ghost leech queen, it is estimated that it was killed by the tentacles in front of it before it got close, I looked back and saw Tian Ji hesitated for a moment, and handed the dagger to the palace lord: "It's a big deal to die together, don't come nonsense." ”

Tian Ji is probably worried that Gong Jue is going to go to the meeting alone, it is definitely a matter of hitting the stone with an egg and no return, I just wanted to speak, Gong Jue didn't say a word and cut his wrist with a knife, and the blood just dropped, those squeaky tentacles should have sensed blood, and suddenly became excited and manic.

Gong Jue quickly took down the bag he had been carrying from his back, and dripped the blood on his wrist on it, and the bloody wrist quickly soaked the bag into blood red, Gong Jue took a step back, and threw the bag like a leech queen.

Before he got close, he was firmly grasped by seven or eight tentacles, and blood continued to drip down from the bag, and those tentacles were extremely coordinated to put the bag on the meat sac, which should be the body of the leech queen, and the wriggling meat sac instantly engulfed the bag, greedily sucking the human blood on it.

"You...... Are you going to kill it, or are you ...... Feed it? Tian Ji asked with a blank face.

"What do you say?" The palace lord smiled confidently, and there were three iron rings on his raised fingers, and the thread was hanging low.

I recognized at a glance that it was the pull ring of the grenade, Tian Ji taught me how to use it, but I didn't expect Gong Jue to keep the three grenades on his back, and suddenly remembered that Tian Ji repeatedly told that the grenade would detonate within 3 seconds after it was pulled.

I was startled, and reached out to push Tian Ji and Gong Jue to the ground, and as soon as I fell on them, I heard a huge explosion in the tomb, and the deafening sound and powerful blasting force made the tomb shake violently.

The huge leech queen was blown to pieces in an instant, and the rising infant corpses around her fell one after another in an instant, quickly withering into dry corpses.
