Chapter 182: No One Survives
Ling Xuan obviously didn't want the Vientiane Divine Palace that she had worked so hard to build, and someone who shouldn't have appeared would enter, and the mechanism that had been touched had sealed and buried this palace that had been standing for thousands of years, and she didn't know how many thousand years would be before it was opened again.
Tian Ji looked at those outlaws with an almost confused gaze, he didn't even seem to have the strength to get angry now, it was estimated that he should be used to this kind of danger, but this time he was cut off by a group of irrelevant people.
"It's fate." Tian Ji looked up at the top of his head, pointing to the sky and smiling. "Am I recruiting you or messing with you, why can't I be allowed to go smoothly once."
"Don't worry, we've just arrived in such a big place, maybe there will be other ways out of it." Bai Jin next to him said apologetically.
"Seal off all the back roads, and all that's left is strangulation." The general's experienced expression was grim. "I don't think this place is right, and the more we go inside, the more we don't know what awaits us."
Rumble!
As soon as the general's words fell, there was a terrifying loud sound from the bronze pillar of the skeletons, and then from the eyes of those skeletons, the dark green stones seemed to have been gouged out, and they continued to fall like hailstones.
Those greedy outlaws did not dare to approach now, and the sudden change of fortune made my heart hang, but I stood for a long time without any movement, and some of them timidly approached slowly, picked up a piece from the sand, and there was no change, and the others immediately swarmed up and began to rob.
Ye Zhiqiu bit his lip and was filled with indignation, Bai Jin should have seen it, patted her shoulder and said seriously: "Why did they come here with me, just for these things, girl, some things are not only right and wrong, you have to know how to protect yourself, you must first lose your life in a group of wolves, the only way is to let them eat enough, otherwise it will ......"
The general looked at the people who were picking up gems in the yellow sand, and it seemed that he would not be able to leave for a while, and the estimated time was already night, and he planned to rest in Tianshu for one night first, and then set off the next day.
After eating, we slept in our clothes, and I was shaken awake in a daze, and the general put his finger to his mouth to signal that he was making a sound, and he woke up Tian Ji and Gong Jue, and I knew that it was not a good thing to look at the general's expression.
The general beckoned us to follow, and we didn't go far east around Tianshu, and there was a naturally formed rock ravine, and we saw the back of Bai near squatting on the ground.
"This place made me uneasy, I dug graves all my life, I don't know why, this time I panicked." The general said in a low voice. "You've got a bright spot."
"Old thing, I'm shocked now." I laughed and joked with the general. "It seems that you are really old, you should collect the mountain after this trip."
"I ...... I was just flustered, and I felt like something was going to happen. "The general didn't scold me this time, and for the first time I saw the hesitant panic on his face.
"What's the matter, don't think about it, it's not that I'm still here, you have old arms and legs, I'll carry you out." The general is really old, looking at his gray sideburns, suddenly there is some inexplicable melancholy, I smile and comfort him.
"Wei Zi is very good at thieves, what he feels is always effective, when he fought Japan in the Northeast, once everyone slept in the mountains, the little Japanese sneak attack, the bright whistle and the secret whistle were served, but no one noticed, the little Japan was about to touch the door, Wei Zi suddenly got up, if he didn't wake up everyone, it is estimated that it would have been a corpse." Bai Jin turned around and said seriously.
"Uncle Wei, you still have this ability." Tian Ji smiled innocently. "Then you give me a feeling, whether I am going home with a full load or nothing this time."
"Don't be like them, you are considered an ancestor to accumulate virtue." The general glared at Tian Ji.
Bai Jin got out of the way, behind the rock was more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, we were shocked, the general said that he was not sure in his heart and called Bai Jin to investigate around, but I didn't expect to find the remains here.
The climate here is dry, and those who die inside will quickly evaporate into dried corpses, but they should definitely not be the bones that we can't see even the flesh in front of us.
"Could it be the people who built this place in the first place?" Tian Ji squatted on the ground and asked.
"It's not!" The palace lord replied with a sharp answer, and he picked up a tattered pointed hat from the pile of bones. "Someone has been here before us."
The pointed hat was very familiar, and I suddenly remembered that in the stone chamber outside the Jade Gate, the dried corpses we found were also wearing such hats, and next to the bones I soon found white pointed-toe shoes and a round-necked suit.
And there are scattered blades around the bones, which are long knives of the Ming Dynasty.
These bones are the sons of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Qiao mentioned in the document, more than 100 elites of the East Factory went deep into Mobei and found a ruin, which should be here, they have been to the Vientiane Shrine.
Lu Qiao's record said that it was the lord who led the elite into here at that time, and ordered him to stick outside, Lu Qiao waited for twenty-seven days before seeing the lord return alone, and none of the elite who followed him survived...... "The palace lord looked at us with a cold expression." These people must have encountered something in the Vientiane Shrine, otherwise they would not have been wiped out. ”
"I have carefully examined these bones, and I have found no fatal wounds all over my body, and I can't figure out what caused the death, but the strange thing is ......" Bai Jin picked up a rib and put it in front of us, and in the firelight, we were surprised to see that the bones were full of thin bite marks, and Bai Jin's voice was low. The cause of death is suspicious, and I don't think they were killed or killed accidentally. ”
I took the ribs and looked at them for a long time, the bite marks were quite profound, all of them went deep into the bone marrow, and they were extremely dense like insect devouring, Bai Jin said that many broken bones were found on the corpses, not broken by external forces, the sections were uneven, and they were obviously bitten off, and holes were found on several skulls, which were also bitten alive.
Starting from the Jiqu Tomb on the north side, we have encountered too many unbelievable monsters, so it seems that Ling Xuan must have left something else in this Vientiane Divine Palace, and it is quite dangerous and deadly.
However, there are only more than a dozen corpses here, and Lu Qiao's record records have more than 100 people who entered the Vientiane Shrine, and the general said that he and Bai Jin did not find any more bones in other places, which shows that the mysterious lord and the rest of the people at that time went deep into the Vientiane Shrine.
"I found this next to these bones." The general spread out his hand, and in his palm were two halves of dark green stones.
The palace lord took it and looked at it for a while, and slowly put the stones together, and they were completely reassembled into a complete stone.
"This ...... Isn't this the gem in the eyes of a skull? Tian Ji recognized it at a glance.
"It's not a gem, at least I've never seen anything like it." I shook my head and looked at what was in the palace lord's hand, and the object in the skeleton's eyes was probably not much better.
The stone was empty inside, and the palace lord said that there might be something in it, and Tian Ji hesitated for a long time and found a complete stone from his body.
"Tell you not to take it, how can you secretly put it on your body." I was amazed and looked at the field chicken.
"It's all over the place, and this one rolls to my feet, I really don't want to take it." Tian Ji scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "It's all here, I have to keep some thoughts when I think about it, so I picked one up."
Gong Jue took the stone from Tian Ji's hand, shook it in his ear a few times, we didn't hear the sound, I took it in my hand and weighed it, it felt heavy, and I wanted to break it, but this thing was stronger than I thought, and I couldn't open it.
"That's not how it should be." Gong Jue said, pointing to the cracked stone. "These cracks are quite regular, and if they are broken by external force, they will not form such fractures."
"This thing can shine, maybe there's a treasure in it." Tian Ji found a rock and smashed it on it, but there was no trace of anything underneath, but the rock was torn apart and shattered.
"With so many people dead, can you not just worry about the of getting rich." I said to Tian Ji angrily. "The origin of this thing is unknown, and it is not clear whether it is a blessing or a curse, so you must not secretly put it on your body."
Tian Ji couldn't stop nodding, I casually threw that thing into the underground river, the general sighed heavily and said: "The surname Du only let us find the Vientiane Shrine, and I didn't have any more eyes at that time, what is in here is none of our business, anyway, just find the land, in the end, we shouldn't come in, this time even the way out has been blocked, and it is not clear what will be encountered in front." ”
"Don't worry, since someone has been here before us, and Lu Qiao said that although no one survived, that lord finally left the Vientiane Divine Palace." I rubbed my forehead and said. "There are dark green stones in these corpses, which means that these people, like us, accidentally triggered the mechanism that flooded the Vientiane Shrine, but in the end, the mysterious lord still left here, which shows that there is another way to leave the Vientiane Shrine besides the entrance."
"Wei Zi, you are not a person who is afraid of death, why are you hesitant today, our brothers have not lived and died together for a long time, this is the sea of swords and fires in front of you, I will accompany you all the way through." Bai Jinhao smiled and beckoned us to come with him.
He took out two large bags from the tent and opened them in front of us, which were full of guns and ammunition, the general's brows stretched a lot, Bai Jin picked up a spear and threw it to the general: "This guy is the most convenient thing you can do, we are not people who have not been to the Hades Palace, the ghost gate is closed and you Wei Zi dares to break in, and I am afraid of this Vientiane Shrine." ”
The general pulled the bolt of the gun, pressed the bullet and loaded it, and acted skillfully in one go, without the slightest drag, perhaps there was a gun in hand, the general relaxed a lot, Tian Ji picked up in it, selected the gun and handed it to us, there were explosives and bullets in the bag, Tian Ji packed them all up, and said that this thing was still in his hand.
When I went back to sleep, I suddenly saw Zhuo Mingfeng sitting alone by the campfire in the distance, he was looking at me with deep eyes, and he was also holding something that had fallen from the skull copper pillar in his hand......
