Just after the stone door opened, the moment the dust drifted up, several humanoid shadows appeared under the flashlight.

The six of them became nervous at that time, Chen Ziyang took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword and blocked it in front of him, while Xu Xiaoyuan and Jin Huang were also highly vigilant. In the middle of a dark space, a standing human figure suddenly appeared, and anyone would be nervous.

When the dust dispersed, the six realized that the shadows standing not far in front of them looked like warriors wearing armor in ancient times, and that they were indeed wearing armor.

The shadows were motionless, and the armor was covered with a thick layer of dust, which at first glance looked like sculptures made of clay.

"Oh my God, what are those things? Terracotta? Yang Lei shouted in surprise, his idea was appropriate, these figures in armor were indeed somewhat similar to the Terracotta Army.

Seeing that these things didn't seem to be in any danger, a few people slowly approached them. It was only after getting closer that I could see the appearance of these armors.

There are a total of nine armors standing in front of several people, except for the one standing at the front, the other eight armors are exactly the same style, but the armor standing at the front looks thicker, the materials used to cast the armor are more, and the lines on it are also more, which is obviously a grade higher than the other eight armors.

The nine pieces of armor were all empty, and they were placed directly on nine iron shelves inserted into the ground, which were supposed to be made specifically for these armor pieces, and the iron shelves were made into a flat human shape, with some protruding places just enough to hold the parts of the armor.

The nine pieces of armor were also equipped with several weapons, the front one had a sword slung around his waist, and the other eight armors were equipped with different weapons, longer or shorter.

All the weapons were cast from fine iron, and it is no wonder that after so many years there has been no damage, except for the bowstring of one bow and arrow that has disappeared, presumably decayed.

After roughly checking that there were no mechanisms hidden on the armor, Yang Lei took a deep breath and squirted violently, blowing away a lot of dust from the armor at the front.

Even though there was still a small amount of dust attached to the armor, it was difficult to hide the golden glow of the armor, and it seems that this armor was cast with a lot of copper.

The six people don't know much about the armor of the Tang Dynasty, and they don't know what level of officers these armors should be worn by and what kind of troops they are wearing, but they all see that they are extraordinary from the armor, even in the Tang Dynasty, where the national power is at its peak, such a suit of armor is not something that ordinary generals can wear.

Although several people believed that the armor was not connected to any mechanism, none of them touched it for safety. Chen Ziyang felt that these armors were placed here for the sake of good looks, or for guarding the door, and the iron shelves inside the armor were also placed for this purpose, which was really a big deal.

"Such a big surprise for us as soon as you came in, good fellow, this armor is so well preserved, if it can be taken out, it must be worth a lot of silver. This place...... It shouldn't be poor. Yang Lei said with bright eyes.

The three Chen Ziyang brothers tossed several times in several tombs, except for a little sweetness when they were in the Bohai Palace, the other times the tombs they entered were so poor that people shed tears.

And the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang is even the armor of this level for the gatekeeper, which shows that the things in it are extraordinary, and it is no wonder that Yang Lei has so much hope.

After bypassing these armors, the dust floating in this underground space was almost scattered, and the flashlights of several people swept around, and found that this should be a hidden underground village.

Several large natural stone pillars connect the ground to the rock wall at the top, supporting the space. And the area of this space is much larger than the area on the ground.

Probably because of the large area, the ground in this underground space is not too flat, and there are many places with relatively large slopes.

There are many ruins and ruins in this space, but not even a complete house remains, only some rough outlines can be seen. Fragments of household utensils such as pottery jars and jars can also be found everywhere, and it seems that this should be the residence of those Gu cultivators.

The broken walls such as the ruins of the house are mainly concentrated on the northern and eastern edges of this underground space, and in the center of the whole clearing is a relatively open area, which should be a small square, and on the west side of this clearing, there are many strange things.

They looked like huge stone sculptures, but they were very simple with lines and outlines, and I don't know what they were for.

It doesn't feel like a place of treasure, but rather like a village that has just been discovered after more than a thousand years of vanishing.

I don't know why, seeing the dilapidated appearance of this village, several people's hearts are filled with a sense of desolation. A few people walked forward, cautiously looking around.

Yang Lei's gaze kept moving with the flashlight beam, hoping to find something valuable. Maybe it was because he was too careful, but soon, he made a discovery.

A clay pot with a big belly and a small mouth slightly larger than a basketball appeared under Yang Lei's flashlight beam, and from his point of view, this jar was black, shiny, and relatively well preserved.

When he was in the ancient kingdom of Sumi, Yang Lei made a lot of clay jars, and at that time, under the guidance of Jin Huang, he sold these jars for a lot of money. It is precisely because of this relationship that Yang Lei at this time couldn't wait to rush up as soon as he saw that the condition of this jar was so intact.

He completely forgot that the place where everyone was was the site of a witch tribe, and outside everyone had encountered a lot of living Gu worms, driven by interests, Yang Lei completely forgot about the danger.

By the time Chen Ziyang saw Yang Lei rushing towards the altar and wanted to say something to remind him, Yang Lei had already picked up the jar.

In the process of picking up the jar, Yang Lei clearly felt that something was shaking inside the jar, and this feeling was like the feeling when shaking a box containing a football.

At this time, Yang Lei reacted that something was wrong, but it was too late. Just as he lifted the jar to his chest, suddenly a ball-like thing rolled out from the side of the jar with its back to Yang Lei and smashed on the surface of his feet.

It turned out that the other side of this jar had been damaged, but because of the angle, Yang Lei didn't see that side, and when he picked up the jar, the contents of the jar rolled out of this hole.

After feeling something hit the surface of his feet, Yang Lei lowered his head, and with the flashlight in his hand, he saw a bloody human head, and the eyes of this human head were still reflecting white light, looking straight at him.

"Mom!" Yang Lei shouted, threw the flashlight and jar in his hand together, and he crawled into the crowd and hid behind the five people.

"Head! Head! And with blood! Bloody! Yang Lei almost shouted these words in a crying voice.

"Head? Bloody? Although Chen Ziyang also saw something hit Yang Lei's foot, he didn't expect it to be a human head. Even if the head is gone, how can it still have blood?

This witch tribe should have been abandoned for a long time, judging from the previous signs, at least seven or eight hundred years have existed. In other words, for seven or eight hundred years, it has been in a state of isolation, and no one has come here.

Even if this human head was stained with blood before, after such a long time, it should have dried up a long time ago, and the blood would turn into a black lump, how could it still be bloody?

At this time, the human head was shaking on the ground, and the back of the head was facing the direction of several people. Because Yang Lei's flashlight fell next to the head, the six people could see it more clearly, and from where they were, they could see the black hair on the head. This should indeed be a human head.

After walking over slowly, Chen Ziyang used the scabbard of the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his hand to carefully turn the head.

This human head is wrinkled, it should have been dried, the skin on the human head and face is all wrinkled together, the facial features have been deformed, and the expression looks very hideous.

And on the face and forehead of this head, there are some red mold-like things. The red mold is so bright that it looks so noticeable under the flashlight.

In addition to this, there are large dark red spots. It's no wonder that when Yang Lei was frightened, he would treat these red things as human blood.

"What are these red spots and red mold? Could it be that this is the head of a red murderer? After this idea came up, Chen Ziyang shook his head, he didn't think it was quite like it, the face of the red fierce man was full of long red hair, not these red spots and mold.

"Be careful, stay away from that thing." From behind Chen Ziyang, Shangguan Kangning's voice came.

When he saw these red spots and mold, Chen Ziyang felt that this human head was not ordinary, and now that he heard Shangguan Kangning's reminder, he hurriedly shook his wrist and used the scabbard of the Xuanming Ancient Sword to move this human head farther away.

"It's good that you didn't touch it directly with your hands, those red things on that person's head should be Gu poison." Shangguan Kangning said with palpitations.

"Gu poison?" Chen Ziyang shouted in surprise. If what Shangguan Kangning said was true, those red molds were really Gu poison, it would be amazing. After a few hundred years, not only did the human head not rot, but the red mold that grew on it still looked as if it had just been born.

"It should be that there is nothing wrong with Gu poison, this person did not die from Gu poison, on the contrary, this human head is a vessel for cultivating Gu poison. If you feed the red mold that grows from a person's head to the Gu worms, the Gu worms will become extremely poisonous. ”

Although there was a hint of uncertainty in Shangguan Kangning's tone, several other people felt a little frightened, and a cool breeze was blowing from the back of their necks, this matter sounded too disgusting, and they actually used human heads to cultivate Gu poison.

"It's not just this human head, you look there, those strange things, if my estimation is correct, it should be a place to cultivate Gu worms, and those strange-shaped stones are all tools used to cultivate Gu worms." Shangguan Kangning said, pointing to the sculpture-like stone.

"If there's any danger here, I think that's the area with the most danger. The area here is not large, if there are really live Gu worms hiding there, and if they find us and attack us, it will be too late to escape, so I suggest that we search the area first and check out the danger in advance. ”

Although Chen Ziyang felt that Shangguan Kangning's suggestion had some selfishness in it, he hoped that a few people would accompany him to see if he could find some ways to cultivate Gu worms there, but the reason Shangguan Kangning found was reasonable, so that several people had no way to refuse.

With this human head in front of him, several people were all cautious when they approached in that direction, especially Yang Lei, although his greed did not die, he also restrained a lot, and he didn't dare to touch anything.

After rounding the two stone pillars that supported the top in succession, several people approached the strange stone.

The first stone vessel closest to the crowd looked very strange. This stone vessel is made up of two large stones, and below it is a huge pedestal resembling a stone bed, the upper surface of which is a concave surface with a small curvature.

Above this concave is a huge stone sculpture in the shape of a stone mill in the shape of a discus. This stone mill is very large, about three meters in diameter, and there is a thigh-thick hole in the center of the stone mill. If it weren't for the fact that the stone mill was placed vertically on the pedestal below, several people would have thought that it was a huge stone mill.

On the exposed part of the stone mill, there are some black lumps that look like asphalt solidified on the surface of the stone mill.

As soon as he saw these black things, Chen Ziyang felt a churn in his stomach. Just now because of the human head, he was still recalling what the coagulated blood looked like, and it was precisely because of this that he was very sure that these black things stuck to the stone mill were blood that had been coagulated for an unknown number of years.

Between the stone mill and the pedestal, there is also a skeleton that has been crushed by the stone mill. The skeleton's skull was squeezed between the stone mill and the pedestal, but it wasn't crushed, but judging from the position it was lying in, the skeleton's ribs weren't so lucky, and they should all be crushed.

"Shangguan Kangning, what the hell is this? Why do I feel so cautious when I look at it? Because he was frightened before, Yang Lei hid behind Chen Ziyang and asked tremblingly.

"This thing should be fed to Gu worms."
