The smoked corpses were all quite tall, and I had to put my feet on the rocks next to me to see the top of the corpses.

The corpse's skull had been removed, containing oil, into which a wick was inserted, burning and emitting a bright light.

"There's not a lot of oil in it, how did it burn for 3,000 years?" I asked Huang Yunqiu in surprise.

Huang Yunqiu said, "After death, a person will produce something called white phosphorus in his body, and as long as the air flow is slightly faster where there is white phosphorus, white phosphorus will burn on its own, and the ghost fire outside is this kind of thing." There must be white phosphorus here, it was sealed before, and it was extinguished because there was no oxygen, but just now this channel was opened up and oxygen was introduced, so this wick will burn again. ”

I sighed, looked at the smoked corpse a few more times, and asked Huang Yunqiu, "What are they doing in the tomb?" ”

Huang Yunqiu replied, "This kind of lamp has another name, called 'Everlasting Lamp', most of the tombs of ancient emperors and generals have Everlasting Lamps, but most of them are not made of corpses, the house is divided into Yang House and Yin House, these people pray that the palace after their death is also brightly lit, so there is an Everlasting Lamp." Most of these ever-bright lanterns in the tomb of Emperor Xin are similar to the terracotta warriors and horses in the tomb of Yingzheng, praying that after death, not only the palace is brightly lit, but also guarded by soldiers, and these corpses should be soldiers of Yin Shang before their deaths. ”

Huang Yunqiu said and bowed to these corpses that were lit with sky lanterns, and I also bowed and saluted, these people were born in the wrong era, they would rather be peaceful dogs than chaotic people, human life at that time was not worth anything at all, and they had no choice at all.

After bowing, Huang Yunqiu looked at the road ahead, "The ever-bright lantern usually leads to the main tomb, and it seems that this is indeed the passage to the tomb of Di Xin." Saying that, Huang Yunqiu took out the magic sword and held it in his hand, vigilantly paid attention to the surrounding movements, and walked slowly forward step by step, followed closely behind.

This passage is extremely long, about every nine zhang there will be a corpse that has been lit with a sky lantern, hundreds of corpses along the way are shocking, walking for a long time to finally reach the end of this passage, just like the tomb of the king and the tomb of Daji outside, there is also a fork here, there is a passage on the left and right, this time there is no sign on it, it is impossible to determine what is behind these two passages.

Huang Yunqiu and I couldn't continue to move forward when we got here, the front was full of unknowns, and there was no way to know what danger was waiting for us ahead, so he said to Huang Yunqiu, "Master and I found another passage to Di Xin's tomb before, which seems to be much safer than here, and we can probably enter from there." ”

Huang Yunqiu smiled, "The key is that we must be able to get out now." As we spoke, the shadow of the giant serpent that had dragged us down appeared at the bottom of the Dark River, and it followed us all the way here, lurking under the water next to us.

The water quality here is quite clean, and you can vaguely see the situation in the water, and the first time I found the giant snake that came over, I pointed to Huang Yunqiu under the water.

Huang Yunqiu hummed, clenched the magic sword, and stared at the black shadow at the bottom of the dark river, but the giant snake didn't seem to be interested in us, and only stayed at this fork for a short time, so he chose to continue walking towards the right passage, and Orr disappeared.

After the giant snake left, the water surface gradually became clear, and when I looked underwater, I saw a lot of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and some broken armor lying below.

These two passages, the one on the right is full of these things, and the one on the left is much cleaner, and there is nothing underwater.

After reading it, I gave my own speculation and said, "There are so many weapons in this passage, plus the giant snake also went to this passage, which means that there must be an ambush at the end of this passage, and the weapons represent killing, which should be a warning to the people who come." The other one, on the other hand, is much cleaner, and I think we should go with the one on the left. ”

Huang Yunqiu shook his head after thinking for a while, and pointed to the passage where the giant snake went, "This passage is safe, let's take this passage." ”

This passage is full of blades, even if you don't look at these blades, in order to avoid the giant snake, you should go through another passage, I don't understand the basis for Huang Yunqiu's choice, and ask the reason, "Why?" ”

Huang Yunqiu said, "The animal is much more sensitive to danger than we are, and it chose the right side instead of the left side, indicating that there is a potential danger on the left." ”

"How do you explain these weapons in the dark river?" I say.

Huang Yunqiu continued, "If the snake has not left for three thousand years, and there is no food in it, how can it survive these three thousand years? It doesn't seem to have an interest in us, and doesn't think of us as food, which means that it doesn't usually eat living things, but dead things. Look at the weapons and armor in the river, these should be the things on the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty......"

Huang Yunqiu said that I already fully understood this, "You mean, there are the corpses of Shang Dynasty soldiers at the end of this passage, and it has survived by eating the corpses of those soldiers for the past three thousand years, and it also brought these broken armor and weapons. ”

Huang Yunqiu hummed, "The ancient emperors all yearn to conquer another world after their deaths, so many will choose to use the army to accompany the burial, there were many cases in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, even in the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng also planned to let the Qin State at that time a most brave and warlike army to accompany him to the funeral, so that he could lead the army to fight after his death, but later replaced it with terracotta figurines. At the end of this passage, it should be the burial pit of the tomb of the king of Xu! ”

Since it is a burial pit, the specifications will definitely not be too high, and the degree of danger will not be very high, after listening to Huang Yunqiu's explanation, I suddenly realized, fortunately, someone is following, if it is me, I must choose the passage on the left.

Since the direction has been chosen, we will continue to move forward, all the way through the passage on the right, and finally see a huge stone gate, the stone gate is like the palace gate, it is extremely magnificent, about four or five meters high, and three or four meters wide.

The stone gate is carved with all kinds of divine beasts, majestic, and the word 'Yin Ruins' is engraved above the stone gate.

The bottom of the stone gate has been opened, and the giant snake has just entered the burial pit from the waterway under the stone gate, Huang Yunqiu and I stepped forward to try to push the stone gate, how can the stone gate weigh more than a thousand catties, even if we paste the strong ghost king talisman, we can't open the stone door even a little.

In desperation, Huang Yunqiu set her eyes on the waterway under the stone gate, looked at me and smiled, I knew that nothing good had happened, and sure enough, she said to me, "Hold your breath and concentrate." ”

I hummed, held my breath, Huang Yunqiu pushed me, fell directly into the dark river, and then she dragged me across the stone gate to swim forward, and it was a long distance from the probe to come out, just probe, just a probe, just to face the giant snake.

The three corpses in the mouth of the giant snake were just about to leave from the waterway, and we just happened to probe out, and both sides froze.

This was the third time the serpent had met us, and the smell of the fish coming from its mouth was so disgusting that if it weren't for the high level of tension, I would have vomited.

Huang Yunqiu held my arm tightly, and looked at the giant snake again, trying to subdue it with momentum, but this time we blocked its way, and the giant snake made a strange sound in its mouth, and then twisted its body to probe over, and with a bang, it directly knocked me and Huang Yunqiu out of the water with a bang, and fell into a rut.

The serpent turned its head sharply and was about to rush at us, although it was large, but it did not affect its speed in the slightest, and we had just climbed up, and it threw the corpse directly into the water, and then opened its mouth at us.

Huang Yunqiu slashed with the magic sword, only to hear a click, and the magic sword was bitten in an instant.

"Let's go!" This is not a level of strength at all, Huang Yunqiu knows that he is invincible, and he wants to retreat with me, but the snake has already seen that our momentum is insufficient, and now in its eyes, we have really become food, and we are chasing after it.

Huang Yunqiu and I dodged left and right, I really couldn't avoid it, I suddenly remembered that when I took the nine-trick ice heart in the Yin Si basin before, Liu Cheng had taught me snake technique, this snake is also a snake, it should work, seeing that its big mouth has arrived, I was busy and said, "This is not an extraordinary place, this snake is not an extraordinary snake, turn into a ribbon, you can't go, let me ask for the golden knife trick, I am as anxious as a spirit!" ”

This spell is called the Hanging Snake Spell, and as soon as I pronounced it, the giant snake immediately froze, as if it was petrified, and then reflected, and I could clearly feel that it glared at me, but it did not continue to move forward, but quickly entered the waterway under the stone gate, and fled.
