Chapter 96: Skeleton War
Lu Shuang saw that I was in a daze at the inscription, so she gently touched me and said, "Brother Tang, is there anything strange about this quilt?" Why do you watch it for so long? I smiled and said, "Nothing! After saying that, I turned to the apse, I walked at the end, and couldn't help but look back at the stone tablet and inscription in the middle of the hall, and my heart was still uncertain, I always felt that something was not right, and there was a strange feeling that could not be explained.
At this moment, I suddenly faintly heard a strange laughter, the sound became louder and louder, slowly coming from the depths of the hall, and at the end, the laughter was mixed with the sound of footsteps, the sound was like the underground army of death rushing out of the ground, my face immediately changed color, looking into the depths of the hall, only to see rows of skeletons rushing towards us with weapons.
Lu Shuang closed her eyes with an 'ah' sound. The sound became louder and louder, like thunder, Lu Shuang leaned tightly on my arms and kept trembling, I stared intently at the place where the sound came from, and soon, the voice passed through the main hall, slowly leaned towards the Yao Pond, through the layers of white mist in the Yao Pond, and leaned towards us.
Tang Yi took a sharp breath, and his voice trembled a little: "Tang Shaoxia, do you listen to this voice?" ”
"yes, it feels like there is?" Fauber also said tremblingly. I gently patted Lu Shuang's back, and said with a sigh: "The two seniors guessed well, this voice doesn't seem to be the voice of a ghost, it's a little similar?" ”
"Is it the sound of human footsteps?" Tang Yi added. I nodded and said, "After Lord Tangbao said it, it's really ...... It's just that this filial piety tomb has never been built by Taizu, and no one has ever come, how can there be people's footsteps here, is it? Fu Bo trembled and said, "Could it be Taizu's subordinate guards!" ”
"So what can we do?" Lu Shuang asked tremblingly in my arms. I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here?" Lu Shuang raised her face, looked at me deeply with her eyes, and said with a little joy: "There is Brother Tang in my ...... I'm not afraid! I smiled.
At this moment, the voice appeared in front of us through the layers of white mist, and Lu Shuang was so frightened that he let out an 'ah', and quickly buried his face in my arms, and his body trembled incessantly.
I followed the sound with my eyes, and gasped, only to see that in the brightly lit hall, dozens of white Kaikai's skulls held various weapons in their hands, standing in a row on the opposite side of the Yao Chi and looking at us stupidly, I looked at it with my eyes, and saw that each skeleton was about the same height, and the weapons in his hands were the legendary eighteen weapons, and what was even more strange was that there was a silver plate hanging around the neck of each skeleton, and the middle of the plate was written with golden mercury. Long live', although I was afraid, I felt in my mind that the word 'long live' in the skull's neck vaguely foreshadowed a certain meaning.
At this moment, the row of skeletons seemed to sense our presence, and they were walking quickly towards us through the layers of white mist.
"Tang Shaoxia, what's going on, how can there be so many white bones, could it be Taizu?" Fauber asked me with a little trembling.
I couldn't figure it out. At this time, Lu Shuang raised his face and glanced at the white bones, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be the human burial left by Taizu?" I was suddenly stunned, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered that in order to build the Ming Tomb, Taizu successively called 100,000 military industries, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the scale was huge.
At that time, the imperial wall built from Chaoyang Gate to Xiaolingwei to the west and north of the mausoleum was 45 miles long, and there were more than 5,000 people in the garrison guarding the mausoleum.
The scope and scale of the mausoleum are so wide that it can be said that it is more than much larger than the mausoleum of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
And according to rumors, when Taizu died that year, he secretly left an edict to Emperor Jianwen when he was buried, following the example of Emperor Qin and Han Wu to leave an underground guard for himself, and there were 40 concubines to be buried, except for two of these concubines were buried on the east and west sides of Xiaoling, and 38 people were buried in Xiaoling.
And the low guard was buried in Tanglin!
"Could it really be Taizu's underground guard back then? Although I don't want to believe it, these dozens of Kaikai bones in front of me make me have to believe it! "The white bones rushed towards us in great strides, I didn't dare to be careless, with a swipe, the dragon sword on his waist was immediately unsheathed, and when Fu Bo Tang Yi saw this, although he was afraid, he also took out his weapon.
The white bones accurately attacked us, and the silver waist card in the neck looked extremely dazzling under the illumination of the everlasting lamp.
At this moment, a white bone pinched the big knife towards me, the knife technique was calm and powerful, I was taken aback, pushed Lu Shuang, and a move 'Wind and Cloud Change' towards the white bone stab, the white bone seemed to have a feeling, and quickly withdrew the big knife cut out, and slashed towards the dragon sword in my hand, only to hear the sword rub out bursts of sparks, and then let out a proper laugh.
I deliberately wanted to see the skill of the white bone, and before making a move, I transported ninety percent of the "Guanghan Internal Strength" to the right arm, and sure enough, I heard the swords intersect for a moment, and the white bone was ordinary, and the skeleton flew out when it landed, and then fell heavily on the floor of the main hall.
There was a thud to the floor. The other white bones in the main hall were obviously taken aback, and they all turned around to look at me, under the light of the ever-bright lamp, I suddenly found that there was something strange in the empty eyes of those white bones, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, and sure enough, the dozens of white bones suddenly changed direction, and the fierce light came towards me.
I was secretly taken aback, and said secretly: "This white bone is powerful enough, and there are so many more...... Seemingly? "The white bones strode towards me, and the word 'long live' on the silver medal in the neck was extremely dazzling under the illumination of the everlasting lamp, like a bolt of lightning, and my eyes couldn't open for a while.
The bones moved towards me step by step, and I suddenly felt a fear that I had never felt before. At this moment, I suddenly saw the white bone lying on the ground that I had just knocked down, and suddenly stood up quickly from the ground, he stretched out his white hand bone and patted his head, and then very carefully picked up the silver waist plate that I had just shot down from the ground.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered that the silver waist card seemed to have been seen there, and the word "no" should be the words on the silver waist card to be precise.
The white skeleton hung the silver waist tag around its neck, and soon wanted to rush towards me. My eyes widened with some fear as the bones came towards me.
The dragon sword in his hand had already overflowed with fine sweat. The bones were getting closer and closer, I could almost hear my heartbeat, and I stepped back step by step, and soon retreated to the edge of the Yao Pond.
Those white bones seem to know the power of the ancient lacquer water in the Yao Pond, see me retreat towards the Yao Pond, then no longer walk forward, standing motionless not far from the Yao Pond, the Chang Ming lamp in the hall is very bright, the silver swaying on the neck of the white bones, under the illumination of the lamp, the two block letters of 'Long live' emitted a faint bright light, I saw that the bright light suddenly had some familiarity, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I remembered that I seemed to have seen the word 'Long live' on the waist card there when I entered the filial piety tomb.
Bai Gu didn't seem to want to let me live anymore, and when he saw me standing on the edge of Yao Chi without moving, he didn't care about the ancient lacquer water of Yao Chi, and moved towards me.
I suddenly stood at a loss and retreated towards Yao Chi. Maybe it's because people's brains seem to be clearer than ordinary people when they die, just when those skeletons are about to force me into the Yao Pond, my mind remembers everything I saw when I first entered the mausoleum; The pavilions in the cemetery are connected; Enjoy the smoke in the hall, the pine forest sea, and raise a thousand deer.
The deer roared in the meantime, and the momentum was extraordinary. In front of the Shenlie Mountain Monument, the Horse Archway, the Great Golden Gate, the Sifang City and the Sacred Virtue Monument, the stone beasts: lions, pigs, camels, elephants, unicorns, horses, etc., Shinto stone pillars, civil and military generals, huge stone statues and stone figures and institutions in the tunnel, all of this makes me feel like a dying old man recalling his life on the verge of death.
The bones were getting closer and closer, and I could almost see the cold smile in their holes, and the skeleton I had stabbed quickly moved towards me, he stood on the outer edge of the Yao Pond, wriggling the disgusting skull and glancing at me, and then I almost saw the sneer in his eyes, and he raised the big knife in his dry bone hand and slashed at my neck, and at this moment, I suddenly remembered everything I had done to enter the tunnel, and I decided to give it a try, just as the skeleton's big knife slashed at my neck, I knelt on the edge of the Yao Chi with lightning speed, and shouted at the throne, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live? "I was going to give it a try, but I didn't expect that when those dozens of skeletons heard me shout the slogan 'Long live my emperor, long live, long live', the original anger disappeared immediately, and soon I saw the skeleton I stabbed with a terrible body and nodded at me, and then these dozens of skeletons left me and strode in the direction of Lu Shuang, Fu Bo, and Tang Yi.
I knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, for fear that if I got together, those dozens of terrible skeletons would come to me again.
If it was hacked to death by the skeleton, it would be better to live on its knees. Dozens of skeletons with weapons quickly attacked Lu Shuang, Tang Yi, and Fu Bo.
Lu Shuang, Fu Bo, and Tang Yideng were shocked, and through the layers of white mist, they saw that the dozens of white bones suddenly thought that they had launched an attack, and they were naturally afraid in their hearts.
Lu Shuang saw that the skeleton suddenly attacked like them, thinking that I had been destroyed by dozens of skeletons, and was so anxious that he shouted my name, I saw the skeleton slowly walking away, and I no longer felt afraid in my heart, and stood up slightly from the edge of the Yao Chi, I thought that if I stood up, the skeleton would definitely attack me again, but the strange dozens of skeletons did not come back, as if I did not exist.
In the white mist, I heard Lu Shuang's voice with a little sadness, my heart moved, and I quickly ran through the white mist towards her, in the white mist, I saw that she was being besieged by several skeletons, although she tried her best to support her, but those skeletons were very powerful, and the weapons in her hands were either hit, knocked, or touched seamlessly, and Lu Shuang was enveloped in a small encirclement.
In the circle, Lu Shuang's face was flushed, and she struggled to support the attack around her, but even so, her body was still injured by the weapon in the skeleton's hand, and the bright red blood stained her long silk clothes.
She endured the pain, her eyes were still looking around, and she muttered, "Brother Tang, you ...... Where is it...... Brother Tang? "As soon as I heard it, my heart moved, but at this moment, the big knife in the hand of the skeleton I stabbed stabbed towards Lu Shuang's neck, I didn't have time to think about it, an arrow rushed in, and the dragon sword in my hand was faster than lightning A move 'Siege Wei to save Zhao' stabbed at the back of the skeleton, the skeleton seemed to have a premonition that someone was attacking from behind, and hurriedly let Lu Shuang go, and the knife slashed at me.
