30. The panic of the big head

"This Ten Thousand Corpses Pagoda was originally created by the cult members who wanted to resurrect people after death," Lao Wu said, turning his head to look at me, he understood my question in another direction, "Modern technology is so advanced that people can't live forever, don't worry about this, ancient bloody resurrection rituals are not uncommon all over the world, relying on these crooked ways, even a day's lifespan is impossible to pray for."

"I'm not talking about this......" I suddenly understood what I had been vaguely trying to figure out, and said hurriedly: "You see if this is the case, from the first urn burial, to the cave where the star continued his life, and then to the current 'Ten Thousand Corpses Tower', I think that in this tomb of King Luodian, what we see at the moment is related to the pursuit of immortality, and this is an immortal ...... Real yĆ n field. ā€

"Urn burial is certainly not the burial method of the powerful, and every corpse we open and see, as long as you two recognize it, it costs a lot of money, but it is hastily sealed in a clay jar, that is because only a closed container is needed, this is a series of experiments to take people to be reborn after death, and the mystery of the inconsistency between the burial system and the identity is here."

"Whether it is the secret technique of the Central Plains Taoism that prolongs the life of the star, or the ten thousand corpses tower of the Nanyang cult now, King Luo Dian has reached the point of madness in order to pursue immortality, as long as it is the method of longevity and longevity that existed in that era, he will not hesitate to take it, in addition to these corpses on the surface, how many innocent lives have been thrown into it, and how many families have been destroyed, I'm afraid we can't imagine."

Everyone is familiar with the story of the ancient emperor's pursuit of immortality, from Qin Shi Huang, who sent Xu Fuman to find immortals in the world, to the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties who took the elixir of immortality, modern people with natural science often laugh at their ignorance, but the price of their ignorance is countless souls, and now King Luo Dian has put these alive in front of us. This is the bloody side of the emperors of the ages, far from being as high-spirited as in the history books, behind their eyes on the world, in order to seek their own selfishness, it is really difficult to write how many Li people will be trapped in misery for immortality.

Lao Wu pondered for a moment, nodded and sighed: "Thinking about it from the beginning, it's really true. It seems that King Luo Dian really spared no expense for the purpose of immortality, but unfortunately these efforts could not be successful. Alas, once people have power over the world, they will delusionally want to live forever, which is the selfishness of human nature magnified by the supreme power, and when it is really time to sit on the world, no one dares to guarantee that they will not try when they are about to die, and they don't have to be too harsh on the ancients. ā€

Zhang Xuan and Chen Blind both sighed with emotion. Zhang Xuan stood up and looked at his watch, it was very late now, seven or eight hours had passed from noon to now, everyone's situation was a little embarrassing, the cave of the Seven Star Array must still be occupied by snakes, and they couldn't go back, and they were hungry and didn't want to eat among these corpses, so they had to go to the bottom of the vein.

Fortunately, I figured out the final intention of these strange arrangements in the tomb of King Luodian, so that several other people suddenly felt half relieved in their hearts, if this hanging mystery is not solved, they will not be able to walk steadily. And then a qiē seemed to follow and become smoother, and before I had gone a few dozen meters, I glanced down habitually, but I vaguely saw that the dark and unfathomable pit was faintly bottoming out.

Hearing my exclamation, Zhang Xuan and Lao Wu also poked their heads out, the expressions of the two slowly relaxed, Zhang Xuan took a long breath and said, "This vein is finally going to the end." ā€

Several people quickened their pace and walked down, the stone wall on their sides was still full of corpses hanging or deliberately placed in recesses, the scale of this "Tower of Ten Thousand Corpses" was staggering, but everyone gradually became visually fatigued. The moment they hurriedly stepped on the ground, they looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

This is a roughly circular space, with an area of several hundred square meters, and there are large and small gravel everywhere under your feet, and you can occasionally see scattered human bones. It took a lot of time to walk down the stone steps that surrounded the top, and I secretly estimated the vertical height, but it was not as high as I imagined.

Everyone stood still and looked around, but the impatient Lao Wu stepped on the gravel under his feet with a "bang", dodged the human bones scattered underground, walked to the middle and turned around to look around, pointed to a depression in the black hole and said: "There seems to be a hidden stone gate there...... I don't know if it's a tomb gate, go over and take a look. ā€

As soon as the words fell, Old Wu took a big stride and was about to walk over, but the big head suddenly shouted, "Old Wu, you wait." ā€

Several people turned their heads to look at the big head following the sound, all of them had puzzled expressions, and I was even more surprised in my heart, since everyone was resting and talking, the big head has been silent for half a day, ignorant as if he hadn't woken up, did he find something?

shouted to stop Lao Wu, but the big head just looked back at the corpse on the stone wall, I stabbed him lightly, but he was startled, turned his eyebrows tightened, and the expression on his face froze.

I was about to open my mouth to ask him what he was thinking, but the big head turned around and grabbed my arm, "You just kept saying that from the first clay jars you saw, this whole tomb of King Luodian ......" said, the big head raised his head and gestured upward, "All the messy arrangements are his experiments in pursuit of immortality, isn't it?" ā€

I let out a confused "um", followed by the big head's sudden strange reaction, muttered a little in my heart, and said softly, "What's wrong?" ā€

The big head suddenly slapped his forehead vigorously, and suddenly realized "oops", "No, everything in this tomb is wrong......

I became more and more confused, and saw that the big head said half a sentence without a beginning or an end, and then he lowered his head, looked at his feet with a pair of eyes stunned, and couldn't help urging: "You hurry up and say, what's wrong?" ā€

As soon as the big head raised his head, he stared at me with a "brush", which shocked my heart, and then I heard him say in a trembling voice that he had never heard before: "King Luo Dian's immortality experiment must have succeeded in the end." ā€

If this is said by a person who believes in strange powers and can't wait to go to alchemy and ascend to immortality, I will take it as a joke, but the big head is usually unreliable, and serious things never rely on their own cranky to draw conclusions, I saw the big head's expression between the strict, a few teasing words swallowed back into the stomach, and my heart jumped up with "dong dong".
