Chapter 325: The Hall of Corpses
I followed the person in front of me for a while. Ten minutes later, we passed through several doors. I saw some of the guards wearing armor. Standing majestically beside him.
But the whole process, no one stopped us.
My heart has been quiet from the initial turmoil. I began to clear my thoughts: I had been in the quarry for twenty years. Isolated. I always thought that the outside world was the same as when I was alive. But now it seems that this is not the case.
I took a closer look at the buildings around me. I thought to myself: This is obviously an ancient style. Why am I here? I'm afraid there are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that it's a place of seclusion. Outside has entered the modern society. It still retains its ancient appearance. If this conjecture is true. After a while, I kill that old monster, and then I can go over the mountains and mountains, go back to the outside world, and start over.
However, there is another possibility: I am now in antiquity. I shook my head: "Reincarnation, why did you come to ancient times?" It's a bit unlikely. "Yet. My heart trembled: "Who says it can't? Throughout the ages, there have been many theories about reincarnation, but most of them are rumors. Perhaps, reincarnation is not only a random choice in terms of space and blood, but also a random allocation of time. ”
When I think of this, I don't dare to think about it anymore. I'll figure out why. It didn't help me much with my current situation. I can only comfort myself, maybe Ma Mian is not good at helping people reincarnate and reincarnate, and it is possible to get the time wrong. But in this way, I want to meet Mr. Lu in the vast history, and the chance is really slim.
I'm thinking cranky. The man in front stopped. He pointed to a door, then pushed me and motioned for me to enter.
In front of me I saw a large hall. Although it was daytime, it was dark inside the main hall. I saw a dozen oil lamps lit inside. The inside of the hall is full of shadows.
I looked behind me, and the man had quickly left.
I remembered Wu Guang's words: The only living person in the hall is the old monster.
I reached into the basket and grasped the hilt of my sword. Then he walked in step by step.
The light shone on me. I dragged a long shadow, and with each step, there was a loud echo.
I held my breath and listened carefully to the movement around me. Since the old youkai is alive, he must make a sound.
I listened with my ears sideways for a while, but I didn't hear anything.
Suddenly, I saw something wrong with the oil lamp next to me.
It was a human-shaped lampstand, kneeling on the ground, with its hands raised upwards, holding a shallow plate. The plate was filled with lamp oil. It's beeping and burning.
From the doorway to the darkness deep in the main hall, I could see twelve humanoid lampstands. The closest to the door was a flesh-and-blood man, carved lifelike, and even with some frightened expressions on his face.
Further on, a half-rotten man. Then there were all the rotten people, and then there were the skeletons, and they were arranged in the order in which the corpses died after the death.
My heart pinched: "Evil Gate, it is indeed an evil Gate." What kind of pervert would put this kind of lampstand in the house? Isn't it ridiculous? ”
I took two more steps inside and suddenly realized something was wrong. The brightness of the surroundings seems to be slowly increasing.
I couldn't help but glance back, and this glance directly made my hairs stand on end. I saw that the light stands behind me had all shifted positions.
They were still on their knees, but they were around me, as if they had surrounded me.
My heart was pounding: "Have they been following me since I walked into the main hall?" ”
I am reminded of Wu Guang's words: If you fail, you will be refined into a living corpse by the old monster.
Now that I think about it, these lampstands are probably not carved, they are real corpses at all.
I silently muttered in my heart: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." I killed the old monster, and I can be regarded as revenge for you. Capture the thief and capture the king first, shoot the man first and shoot the horse, as long as I deal with the old monster, these lampstands will scatter by themselves. ”
I took two more steps forward, and this time, the skeleton in front of me also moved. They knelt on the ground, with oil lamps on their backs, and swayed in my way.
I was surrounded by them. I stood in a circle of firelight. Slowly cheered himself up: "Don't be afraid, it's just some corpses, living in an empty house for so long, can't even deal with these little minions?" ”
I was about to draw my sword and slash these corpses. However, a faint voice came not far away: "What are you doing here?" ”
I saw a man approaching with a blank face. He was dressed in a black robe and had a bushy beard on his face. It is estimated that it is the old monster in Wu Guang's mouth.
If there were no corpses around, I wouldn't hesitate to pull out the sword, plunge it into his heart, and flee from here.
But not right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him.
He approached and continued to ask me, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
I had an idea and said, "I...... I'm a fish deliverer. ”
He actually nodded and said, "It's a fish delivery again." This is already the thirteenth to deliver fish. ”
I looked at him with some nervousness.
He pointed to the lights around me: "These twelve people also claim to be fish deliverers. But each time, they drew their swords and killed me. You're the thirteenth, I guess. ”
My heart was cold: "Wu Guang looks shrewd, but why is he so stupid to do things?" This kind of trick has been done twelve times, why does he continue to do it without hesitation? ”
The man said lightly: "After these people were captured by me, they all claimed to be the master, but as for who instructed me and the purpose of killing me, they refused to say. Are you also called Zhuzhu? ”
I nodded with a dark face, and I had scolded Wu Guang thousands of times in my heart. While I scolded bitterly, I felt a little strange in my heart: "What these people do seems to be a little too weird." ”
As I was thinking of this, the man sighed and asked as if he was very melancholy: "You and I have never known each other, and there is no injustice or hatred, so why bother to kill me?" I don't have any nostalgia for fame and wealth, I just want to finish my business. ”
I couldn't bear the sadness on his face, so I whispered, "I'm just entrusted ......"
The man waved his hand: "Sure enough, these twelve people said the same thing." There you go. ”
Then, the corpses jerked to their feet and rushed at me with baring teeth and claws.
The lights fell to the ground, and in an instant they were half extinguished, and the whole hall became even darker.
At this time, the dough had already been torn, and I couldn't care about anything, so I casually pulled out the fish intestine sword and cut it on the corpse.
It was then that I realized that these corpses were extremely difficult to deal with, and the sword slashed at the bones, as if it had slashed a steel rod, and the sword slashed at the flesh, as if it had slashed a tree.
There is such a group of invulnerable guards, no wonder Wu Guang wants to assassinate them.
I slashed for a while, and my hands and feet were numb from the shock, but it didn't have any effect. A few seconds later, my right hand was brutally broken by the corpse.
I let out a howl of pain, then opened my hand and placed my sword in my left hand. At this time, you can't be afraid, you can't be afraid of pain, and if you miss the pool, your life will be gone.
My left hand had just grasped the Fish Intestine Sword. The corpses grabbed me, and the skeleton reached out its claws and grabbed at my heart. No doubt that two seconds later, I would have been pierced through my heart and lungs by it.
However, at this time, the man shouted, "Stop." ”
The corpse stopped, and he slowly walked towards me. The expression on his face was strange.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I seized the opportunity, and when he approached me, my left hand loosened forward, and it pierced him in the heart. I could even feel the heart, beating violently, and then I shattered it.
There was a soft thump in his throat. Then he stubbornly stretched out his hand, slowly raised my right hand, pointed to the word "Lu" on it, and said, "I've been looking for you." Mobilize all the power I can and look for someone with Lu characters on the palm of my hand. I want to take you out of samsara. "Zhen Guang is talented.
Then, slowly, he opened his hand. There is a blood-red word "Zhao" on it.
My voice trembled violently, and I called out, "Mr. Lu." ”
But he stopped moving. And around the corpse, his guards. They all fell to the ground. The living corpse lost its control and became a dead corpse.
