Chapter 399: The Gate
After a long time, the people in the underworld no longer made heart-palpitating painful sounds, and the blood no longer dripped down, and the sacrifice was finally coming to an end.
Looking at the dense human faces piled up in front of the corpses of those people in the Yin Gate, I couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in my heart, and subconsciously turned my head sideways and looked at Lu Xiaoyu, not knowing how she was going to take the next step.
"Go!"
As soon as I turned my head, Lu Xiaoyu also turned his head sideways at the same time, and a pair of blood-colored eyes were imprinted in my eyes at once, and my brain boomed, and the scene of Lu Xiaoyu's tragic death instantly appeared.
I saw the rough stitches go through my mouth, blood dripping out, the stitches rubbing against the muscles, making a rustling sound, I was in pain, but I made a sound.
I saw a rough old hand pull up my eyelids, stitches ran through my eyelids and eyelids, blood flowed out again, and the light dimmed.
When the last stitch fell, my world fell into darkness.
At the same time, a biting chill hit, and I woke up suddenly, and found that I didn't know when I was taken to the gate by Lu Xiaoyu.
"Huh?"
I snorted indistinctly, and found my finger pressed against the gate.
"What's the situation?"
I asked subconsciously.
As soon as the words came out, my fingers swiped across the gate under the control of Lu Xiaoyu.
"It hurts!"
A hot sensation came from my fingers, and I couldn't hold back and shouted.
As soon as this voice came out, my fingers left the gate, and this person was also held hostage by Lu Xiaoyu, and quickly retreated.
The moment the gate was opened, the pale faces of the people, like sharks smelling blood, rushed over almost frantically.
During the whole process, Lu Xiaoyu kept pinching my injured finger.
After stepping aside, Lu Xiaoyu directly raised my hand, opened his mouth, and took my injured finger into his mouth.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyu spit out my fingers, turned his head, and looked at the gate indifferently.
I was bewildered, and I glanced down at my finger, which had a bite mark on it.
This should have been bitten by Lu Xiaoyu just now when I was in a hallucination, her trick is not bad, but I still have something to understand.
Judging from Lu Xiaoyu's actions, she wanted to use the blood of those people in the Yin Gate to lure out these resentful spirits at the bottom of the river first, and then use my blood to lure these resentful spirits to the floodgate.
What I don't understand now is why Lu Xiaoyu didn't take some of the blood of those people in the Yin Gate first, but instead bit my finger and smeared my blood on the gate?
This is somewhat unconscionable!
Squeak!
At that moment, a screeching sound sounded from the gate, and I turned my head to find that the gate was sliding upwards.
"it!"
This time, I couldn't hold back and screamed.
These spirits are lifting the floodgates.
This situation frightened me, I don't know how heavy the gate is, but judging from the system of the gate, at least there must be a thousand pounds.
Such a heavy gate, how did these resentful spirits lift the gate?
One or two resentful spirits can't lift the gate at all, and if you want to lift the gate, you must gather the strength of all the resentful spirits, let these resentful spirits think in one place, and force in one place, only in this way can the gate be lifted.
But it's very difficult to do that.
Not to mention anything else, judging from the situation of these resentful spirits devouring those people in the Yin Gate before, these resentful spirits can't work together at all!
So the question is, what do they rely on to work together?
Leaning on the command of the light rain?
I don't believe this, I've always been with Lu Xiaoyu, I know best whether she commanded those resentful spirits or not.
In addition, there is only one possibility, and that is the gathering of these resentful spirits, which triggers the mechanism of the gate, which makes the gate go up.
Another important point is that my blood, it seems, also plays a role.
As for whether this is the case, we can only take it one step at a time.
I really want to know, behind the floodgates, what the hell is going on!
I let out a slow breath, my eyes glued to the gate.
Squeak!
In a shrill grinding sound, the gate slowly lifted, and as the gate lifted, a ray of light shot out.
The light was a pale yellow light, not the dark red light I thought it was, and as the light shone through, there was a faint burst of talking.
When the gate was lifted half a person high, there was a muffled sound, and it stopped in mid-air, and the human face attached to the gate seemed to have received some kind of signal, and instantly fell, followed the current, went upstream, and rushed into the opposite side of the gate.
Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoyu still didn't have any expression on his face.
A minute later, all the human-faced spirits rushed to the opposite side of the gate, and Lu Xiaoyu moved at this time.
This time, Lu Xiaoyu's face was very solemn, which was completely different from her in the past, as if there was something very important to her on the other side of the gate.
After taking a few steps forward, I had just reached the gate when I heard a shouting and fighting from behind the gate.
"There's someone behind the gate!"
Realizing this, I can't tell what mood it is.
Some excited, some excited, and more confused.
Since I followed the light rain into the belly of Hutou Mountain, I haven't seen a single living person.
Even if they saw it, they couldn't communicate, such as those people in the Yin Gate who had just been nailed to the stone wall, these people in the Yin Gate were all sacrifices, but their mouths were sewn up.
I wanted to help, but Lu Xiaoyu didn't give me a chance at all, the fate of these people in the Yin Sect was already doomed from the time they decided to come to the old village.
As I speculated in the old village before, these people in the underworld are cannon fodder and sacrifices.
I just don't know what role Huang Feng played in this.
I thought about the torturer again, and I thought of Lao Dong, this matter, the torturer must have played a role in fueling the trouble.
For the criminals, the people in the underworld are all unstable characters in society, and it is better to die completely.
On this trip to the old village, these people in the Yin Gate, even if they don't die, are almost over.
I estimated that the people in the Yin Gate who can go back alive may not exceed two slaps, or even less.
"Ahh
Just then, a cry of pain came from behind the gate, so close to me that I suspect that the man was leaning back against the gate.
Hearing this voice, Lu Xiaoyu did not hesitate, took me short, and jumped over.
In the past moment, my eyes were narrowed by the light.
I haven't seen much light since I entered the mountainside with the light rain on the road, and even if I did, it was all dim light, but the light on this side, although not very strong, was several times stronger than the light behind the gate.
"Ugh!"
And just as I squinted, I heard a painful gasp at my side.
I opened my eyes and saw a familiar face.
"Li Qiang?"
Seeing that face, a not-so-good memory emerged.
This person can be said to be the only survivor of the ghost building.
He survived because he didn't do evil, and even in a way, he was bullied.
Before, I wondered why he didn't show up when the ghost spell was lifted, but I didn't expect him to appear here.
If I'm not mistaken, this Li Qiang is the descendant of Lu Banshu.
He will be choked by Lu Xiaoyu's neck, his whole face is suffocated, his eyes are bulging, and he may be strangled to death at any time.
But I found that his fatal wound was not in Lu Xiaoyu's hand, but in a wound in his chest and abdomen where internal organs could be seen.
It was a stab wound, a scar that cut through almost his entire chest, dissecting him entirely.
The strange thing is that with such a deep knife wound, he didn't bleed.
Not only was there no bleeding, but his wound was still wriggling, and with each wriggling, the wound became a little lighter.
According to this rhythm, if there is no Lu Xiaoyu, in about half an hour, the injury between Li Qiang's chest and abdomen will be intact.
The appearance of Lu Xiaoyu disrupted this rhythm.
"Humph!"
I don't know why, Lu Xiaoyu seems to hate Li Qiang very much, she didn't give Li Qiang any chance to resist at all, nor did she give him a chance to speak, her hand tightened, I heard a click, and Li Qiang's neck crooked.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Xiaoyu's eyes, and after snorting coldly, he used Li Qiang to the gate, and the moment he let go of his hand, he slammed it downward, and through the knife mark, it was inserted into Li Qiang's chest.
"Ahh
Li Qiang, whose cervical vertebrae had been pinched, let out a painful cry at this time.
Lu Xiaoyu didn't give him a chance, his hand was retracted, and a heart was pinched in the palm of her hand.
Looking at the heart that was still beating in his hand, Lu Xiaoyu didn't choose to pinch it, but threw it out with a flick of his hand.
I subconsciously turned my head sideways, and at a glance, I could see the layout clearly.
The situation was completely unexpected, and it was even bigger than I imagined.
The river at our feet divides the space in two.
On the two sides of the river, there are several stone pillars on each, and on top of the stone pillars are dense human faces.
"Grass!"
Seeing those stone pillars that required at least two people to hug together, I subconsciously burst into a foul mouth, and what surprised me even more was the dense human faces on those stone pillars.
This was completely different from what I had imagined, I had thought that it was flesh and blood that attracted these faces behind the gate, but I didn't expect it to be a stone pillar that connected to the roof of the cave.
But that's not all, I looked at it again and was even more surprised.
These stone pillars were devouring the faces.
When I first looked at it, there were still many of those faces, and in just a moment, when I looked at it again, the faces in some places had completely disappeared into the stone pillars and disappeared in front of my eyes.
I can't think of any other explanation than the stone pillars devouring these faces.
"Nine stone pillars!"
After a few moments, I recovered and let out a soft breath.
There are many things that surprise me in this space.
In addition to the stone pillars, there was a stone platform that surprised me the most.
The stone platform does not appear to be naturally formed, but rather to be artificially made.
The reason is very simple, this stone platform is built on the river.
Twenty meters in front of me was a stone platform about five meters high built on the river.
And on the stone platform, a coffin is placed.
The coffin is also a sarcophagus, and the most important thing is that there are people on the stone platform.
There were four people up there who were confronting each other, and when they saw me and Lu Xiaoyu coming in, they all shot their eyes over.
I didn't rush it, I didn't look at them for the time being, but looked around.
The reason why the light here is bright is because there are more than 20 arm-thick candles burning on the walls of the cave around it.
These candles illuminate this cave as if it were daylight.
After looking around, I set my eyes on the stone platform.
In this cave, there are a total of nine stone pillars, four on each side of the river, and one on each side, which is in the river.
It's just that unlike the other eight stone pillars, this stone pillar in the river is half-cut.
This stone pillar, only the base is in the river, the top, I don't know if it was eliminated or what, I didn't see it.
And the stone platform was built with this stone pillar as the center.
On the stone pillar is a lotus platform, on the lotus platform on the stone platform, in the middle of the stone platform, is the sarcophagus.
If I'm not mistaken, the sarcophagus is facing the stone pillar.
I know two of the four people on the stone platform.
One is the village chief of Dongmen Village, that is, the Mr. Mover, and the other is the stele king of Tong County.
Judging from the current situation, the relationship between these two should be hostile.
In addition to these two, the remaining two people, one of them, I know, is the Tan Po I have met before.
There was another one, I didn't know, but I knew the knife in his hand, and it was a half-broken ghost-headed knife.
Seeing Tan Po, Lu Xiaoyu's breathing was obviously heavier.
But I don't know why, Lu Xiaoyu controlled it and didn't rush forward.
Seeing this, a trace of doubt appeared in my heart, where did Huang Feng go?
Also, isn't it a dragon's lair?
How come since I entered here, all I saw was a coffin or a coffin, where was the so-called dragon's lair?
Judging from the situation on the stone platform, the four of them had reached some kind of faint balance with each other.
Not to mention the Mr. Mover in Dongmen Village and the Tablet King in Tongxian County, these two were originally rivals.
Speaking of that Tan Po, we killed a Tan Po in the mountains before, but that Tan Po was fake.
So this Tan Po, is it real?
Look at the man with the ghost head knife, that person is not a paper man, but a bald middle-aged man, and he has a scar on his face.
This scar, which split his entire face in two, looked extremely scary.
But what really caught my attention was the knife in his hand.
This ghost-headed knife had been in the hands of a paper man before, and it was that paper man who slaughtered most of the immortals in Bincheng.
A long time ago, I knew that the paper man, as well as the ghost head knife, were controlled by Huang Feng, and now this ghost head knife is in the hands of this middle-aged man, so does it mean that this middle-aged man is Huang Feng's person?
