Chapter 30: Chengtian Shentai

Walking at the valley bottom, I felt as if there was wind blowing towards us ahead. The rock wall at the bottom of the valley www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is densely hung with sarcophagi, it seems that at that time, the territory of Lu was very much implemented to accompany the burial of the living.

The guards walked very fast in front, and although the valley floor was full of gravel, it was generally flat. As long as those hanging coffins are placed securely, then we shouldn't have much problem walking underneath. This rift valley is probably caused by early mountain activity, and King LΓΌ discovered it when he was building the tomb of the gods and placed the tombs of the gods at the bottom of the valley.

After walking along the valley floor for less than half an hour, the guards in front found a clue. I saw him look up at the top of his head and raise his torch as well.

As soon as I looked up, I was dumbfounded. I saw that above us, about ten zhang high, there was a huge black shadow, its shape a little blurred. From the bottom, it looked like a giant pallet.

The monk was also dumbfounded, and muttered: "King Lu's Chengtian Divine Altar, it turns out that it is here, we have to go up." ”

But how to get up? This is a big problem. According to my eyesight, the altar is at least ten zhang high from us, and we simply don't have enough rope left. If that group of people had been here before, how did they get there? I looked around, and the only possibility was that they had climbed up the rock wall.

At this time, the guards had already begun to climb, Cassia followed closely behind the monk, and I took care of the master to climb at the end. The rock wall looks very steep, but there is still a place to stay, and there are many deep pile holes in the rock face, which are supposed to be left over from the time when the hanging sarcophagus was placed.

Soon, the altar above me became clearer, and I realized that it was not what I had thought it would be, with the sides directly embedded in the rock formation. There is still some space at the edge of it from the rock wall, which means that this Chengtian Shentai is not hanging here. More precisely, it should be hung here. It's hard to imagine how the ancients did it with their technology at that time. The state of LΓΌ was only a small vassal state at that time, did he have so much manpower to complete this project?

We continue to climb upwards. It didn't take long for me to see dozens of bronze chains thicker than a human being connected between the altar and the rock wall. The guards had already crawled to the bronze chains, and were about to crawl along the chains to the central shrine. The bronze chains were stronger than I could have imagined, and the guards climbed on them very smoothly. After all, compared to Shentai, a few of us are like a few ants.

After the work of the two pillars of incense, everyone stood safely on the altar. To be honest, before I came up, I was very much looking forward to what kind of scene it would be on the altar. King Lu's funeral goods are piled up like a hill, let us choose? Or piles of gold and silver? However, when I saw the layout on the altar, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, there was nothing on the altar except a bronze coffin and two armored figurines guarding near the coffin.

When the monk saw this situation, his face was a little unbearable, and he scolded: "How did you do it?" What about Lao Tzu's gold and silver jewelry? Could it be that we are one step too late, this place has been emptied? ”

Cassia said it was impossible, how many people were there and how many things could they take? Besides, the coffin has not been opened, don't you think it's strange? Now that they are here, there is no reason why they should not open the coffin.

The monk glanced at the coffin and said, "Could it be that there is a monster sealed in this coffin?" They don't dare to open? ”

When he said this, several people were stunned. It's really weird, and if they did come here, then why didn't they open the coffin? Could it really be like what the monk said, what monster is sealed in the bronze coffin, and they dare not open it?

The guards stared at the coffin for a long time, frowned, and suddenly said, "No, this coffin is not what they are looking for." ”

The monk wondered and asked him, "Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Didn't you notice? There was no such symbol on the coffin. ”

As soon as he said this, a thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly understood something.

"You mean that they're not just inverting, they're looking for a coffin with that symbol?"

"That's right." The guard nodded.

I felt as if I had grasped the point of the whole thing, and some of the pieces were already connected to each other.

"The one on the altar..."

Before the monk finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, as if he understood something. Immediately beat his chest and shouted: "****, it turns out that this is the case, we were actually put together by that group of bastards." ”

Cassia couldn't stand the monk's appearance the most, so he scolded: "What's the matter? Dead monk, you make your words clear. ”

"I said, how did the coffin open so easily? Damn, that's a flaw they deliberately sold to us. The group must have opened the coffin before us and dropped the contents of the bag. Not only did we pounce, but we almost made them scapegoats. ”

I couldn't understand it for a while.

"You mean, the coffin on the altar they had already opened in advance? But doesn't that make sense? Since they opened the coffin, why didn't they trigger the mechanism? ”

The monk sighed and said, "Do you think those people are all eating dry rice?" They must have known the mechanism in the coffin and had prepared for it. And they must have known that someone was following them, so they deliberately left a flaw. Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life, otherwise he would have really made a substitute for them this time. ”

Cassia's face was a little ugly, he should have understood what the monk meant.

"And now are we?"

The monk looked at the top of his head and said, "This kind of roof-bearing platform, under normal circumstances, will have three floors, upper, middle and lower, representing the three thousand worlds. We're at the bottom now, and we have to climb up. The coffin should not be moved, lest it be placed by the group of people again. ”

I'm surprised that a monk would have such an enlightenment, but we really don't have any other way. The situation above the head is indeed as the monk said, this kind of Chengtian Shentai will not have only one floor, we have to continue to climb up.

Without resting, they climbed onto the bronze chains again, then climbed back to the rock wall through the chains, and then began to climb upwards. The middle floor of the roof was not far from the lowest floor, and we didn't go up to it all, so we only let the guards who played the strikers go over to see the situation alone. If he finds anything, we'll go back a few more. If it's still the same as before, there is nothing, then we ignore this layer and climb straight to the top.

Taking advantage of the gap between the guards and the climb to the shrine, we took a short break on the rock wall. Climbing is very physically demanding, and the best way to relieve fatigue is to keep your shoulders and arms at the same height, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of your arms.

Soon, a signal from the guards came from the altar. As soon as the monk saw the signal, he beckoned us to continue climbing. It seems that the final secret will still be revealed on the top stage.

We ignored the second floor and continued to climb upwards, the topmost platform slowly emerging from the darkness. A few people were not ready to rest, and were about to climb up in one go, when suddenly the monk at the front hurriedly told us to stop.

"What are you doing?"

Cassia looked up and saw the monk sticking to the rock wall, motionless, so he cursed.

"Shh The monk immediately told us to keep our voices silent.

He pointed to the altar above with his eyes and whispered, "Look at that, there seems to be a person watching us from there. ”

The monk's tone was very mysterious, and his tone was a little trembling. I lifted my heart up and followed his gaze. At first, you could only see the outline of the very edge of the shrine, and nothing else. But then I saw a black figure in the shape of a human figure appear on the edge of the altar. The posture of the black shadow was very strange, it was half-kneeling on the altar, and it seemed to be peeking down.

I suddenly got furious, and my heart said that is a human or a ghost? Cassia and Master were also a little flustered. I patted the monk's foot and asked him in a low voice, "Monk, do you see clearly?" Is that thing a human or a ghost? ”

The monk shook his head and said that he couldn't see clearly, but it was a big possibility that he was a human. He told us all to stay still and wait for the guards to come up. In this way, a few of us lay on the rock wall and did not dare to move, but we all had torches on our bodies, and with such an obvious target, the black shadow must have discovered us. I knew this very well, and my eyes were glued to the shrine, for fear that something would happen.

At this time, the guards had already caught up from behind, and his expression was a little strange when he saw that we were all lying on our stomachs. I pointed him in the direction of the shrine and was about to speak. But in the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared from the altar. I gave him a rough explanation, and the guard looked up suspiciously, but the shadow still hadn't appeared.

"What to do? Do you want to continue? ”

It's not a way for us to stop here, and the monk asks for our opinion on it. But it's not clear what exactly that dark shadow is? None of them dared to act rashly.

"I'll go up and take a look, you stay still and wait for my signal."

In the end, it was the guards who broke the deadlock, bypassed us, and began to climb to the top of the shrine. The monk was worried that he would not be able to cope alone, so he said to go with him, but the guards refused.

The guards were very fast, and soon he distanced himself from us and began to climb sideways onto the bronze chains. I saw him stay on the chain for a while, presumably observing the movement on the altar. He then quickly passed through the bronze chains and disappeared completely above the altar. I couldn't help but sweat for him, and said in my heart that no accidents should happen.

Unexpectedly, the guards didn't seem to find any threat on the platform, and he soon sent a signal from the platform. When the monk saw this signal, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately beckoned us to climb up. Several people stopped and quickly climbed up.

The difference between the top stage and what we saw before is not very big. After a few people got off the chains, I saw the guards crouching on the ground to check on something. After a closer look, I found that the altar was full of people, to be precise, there were corpses lying everywhere.
