Luo Lie looked around, could it be that the breathing sound he heard just now was just an illusion?

Of course, Yan Tianxin knew that Luo Hunt was bold, the two had experienced life and death tests together many times, and they had never seen Luo Hunt afraid, the reason why she said this was not only to comfort Luo Lie, but also to comfort herself, in Yan Tianxin's opinion, as long as Luo Hunt was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of anything in this world.

There are many kinds of fear, the most intuitive fear is the intuitive feeling caused by seeing or hearing, but Luo Lie's fear this time is not to see and hear it with his own ears, this fear comes from the unknown, and it entered the depths of his heart without warning, Luo Lie doesn't like this feeling, this feeling of being suddenly invaded into consciousness by fear.

Judging from Yan Tianxin's performance, she shouldn't have the same feeling as herself, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such composure, Luo Lie thought that his heart was strong enough, but despite this, it still made this sudden fear fluctuate, he secretly calmed down his ups and downs, and smiled: "I find myself more and more dependent on you, I'm afraid that I will be reluctant to leave you in this life." ”

Yan Tian's pretty face was hot, and he whispered: "Flamboyant tongue, I hate it!" In his heart, because of Luo Lie's words of love, it was like a spring breeze, if Luo Lie was reluctant to leave him in this life, it would be the happiest thing in this life to be able to stay with him and never be separated.

Couples in love will give any environment a romantic color, rational and calm as Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin are no exception, looking at Yan Tianxin's beautiful face, Luo Lie suddenly felt that this gloomy and dark cave was nothing to be afraid of, the two walked hand in hand, silently feeling the temperature of each other's palms, only felt that this moment was the warmest and happiest moment in life, and those fears in Luo Lie's heart quietly disappeared without a trace.

The black stone road, which is nearly a mile long, finally came to an end, and the exit was blocked by two copper doors, on which were carved a naked person, male left and female right, the upper body of the two was no different from that of a normal person, but the lower body was a snake body, and it was intertwined with each other like two long snakes.

Yan Tianxin let go of Luo Lie's big hand, and took a closer look at the pattern on the copper door with the beam of the flashlight, the same pattern had been seen in the parchment scroll, this pair of men and women are a pair of gods in ancient Xixia legends, they are still brother and sister, Yan Tianxin once thought that this pair of gods was the Chinese legend of Fuxi and Nuwa, but now is not the time to trace the origin, the parchment scroll recorded the method of opening the mechanism.

Yan Tianxin dialed the mechanism on the relief, and after returning to the position, he only heard the squeak and rattle of the copper door, and the entangled snake tail seemed to come to life, in fact, the snake tail was the door bolt, because the door bolt was opened, which caused the illusion of the snake tail swimming back and forth.

After all the bolts were opened, Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin pushed a copper door respectively, and the heavy copper door was effortless to push because of the track below, and the two were worried that there was a mechanism hidden behind the copper door, so they didn't dare to open it too quickly, and always beware of accidents. After the bronze door opened a crack, a pale green light came out of the crack in the door, and as the copper door was fully opened, the green light became stronger and stronger.

Behind the copper gate is a straight long bridge, the width of the bridge deck is only two feet, only one person can pass through, it is very difficult to even two people in parallel, the bridge is about 20 meters long, the bridge deck is broken in many places due to the age, the largest fracture is about five meters, there is a height of about ten meters from the bridge deck to the bottom, and the bottom is covered with white fine sand.

If you look closely, the sand shimmers with a cold glow that comes from the tip of the metal, and if you accidentally fall into it, it will be pierced through the flesh by the edge hidden in the white sand.

Luo Lie reminded Yan Tianxin to be careful, the green light came from the other end of the bridge, the two jumped vertically, through the damaged long bridge, the end of the long bridge was connected to a circular altar, the altar was made of a kind of green stone, Luo Lie touched it with his hand, the material was warm, some like jasper, although jasper is not as valuable as white jade, but it is also extremely amazing to concentrate so much jasper to build such an altar.

Yan Tianxin said: "Jasper itself does not emit light, I think the light should come from the inside of the altar." ”

Luo Lie nodded, agreeing with her point of view, and walked up the stairs along the altar, the altar was divided into nine layers, and there were a lot of white bones on each layer, Luo Lie remembered the name of the Bailing Altar, and secretly wondered in his heart, how many creatures were sacrificed by the high priest of Haori.

Walking up to the sixth floor of the altar and seeing two tiger bones lying on both sides of the stairs, what amazed Luo Lie was still behind, Yan Tianxin pointed to the right side and said, "Is that the remains of an elephant?"

Luo Lie looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a huge skeleton standing not far from the right, although the flesh had long been rotten, but the two tusks showed its identity, Luo Lie shook his head and said: "It's not an elephant, it should be a mammoth." ”

This skeleton was much larger than an adult elephant, but the mammoth had long since perished when the Western Xia Kingdom was prosperous, so Luo Hunt deduced that this mammoth was not a living sacrifice, but a skeleton that was placed on the altar back then. Even if it is not a living creature, such a complete mammoth fossil is already precious.

Luo Lie walked around the altar on this floor, confirming his guess in his heart, there was not only one mammoth fossil, but one in each of the four locations in the east, west, south and north, and all the mammoth fossils were extremely complete.

On the eighth floor, I saw a long snake bone, judging from the length and size, this snake bone should come from a giant python like a forest snake, Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin glanced at each other, although neither of them spoke, they could see each other's sighs and surprises from each other's eyes, this high priest Haori, who was the first national teacher of Western Xia, is still a biologist, judging from the bones and fossils seen on the altar alone, Haori's collection is already breathtaking.

Luo Lie's gaze fell on the apex of the altar, which was the ninth floor, and he didn't know what kind of amazing species were hidden above.

Yan Tianxin whispered: "It should be a human." "Man is the spirit of all things, and it is man who created this world, and there is no living creature in this world that is more important than man.

Luo Lie nodded, agreeing with Yan Tianxin's guess, and the facts quickly verified this, there was a pool with a diameter of about three meters in the center of the top floor of the altar, the pool had dried up, and it was not difficult to judge from the black traces of the pool wall that this pool was once filled with blood, and the depth reached the bottom layer, and there were ring-shaped holes on the pool wall every other distance, with a total of nine rows.

Luo Lie deduced that these small holes were to facilitate the injection of blood from the outside, and the creatures used for sacrifice were arranged in an orderly manner on the various layers of the altar, and after the live sacrifice, the blood flowed into the blood trough, and then from the blood trough into the excretory holes, and through these small holes into the blood pool. To fill the pool of blood, you need more than a thousand creatures. This Hundred Souls Altar is indeed a bloody and cruel place, when the high priest of Haori did not hesitate to slaughter many living beings in order to change his life against the sky and prolong his life, and his hands were stained with blood.

Although the word immortal is ordinary, it has made countless people rush to it throughout the ages, and even a generation of overlords like Emperor Qin and Han Wu are not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention ordinary people? How many can really see through the word life and death?

Yan Tianxin said: "Shouldn't there be corpses and bones in the blood pool?" The blood pool is not only the center of the Bailing Altar but also the center of the reincarnation array set up by the Haori High Priest, according to the scene depicted on the mural just now, the Haori High Priest should have immersed the corpse in this blood pool, but the blood pool was clean, except for some old blood marks on the pool wall, there was nothing else to see.

Luo Lie said: "Maybe this Haori High Priest has already ascended to immortality, or his bones have been wiped out like this pool of blood. In Luo Lie's opinion, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't compete with time, the vicissitudes of life, the stars change, even the mountains and rivers will be changed by time, not to mention human beings.

Yan Tianxin said: "When the High Priest of Haori died, Princess Longyu was only nine years old, and she was in Western Xia, and she had not yet traveled to the Jin Kingdom. ”

Luo Lie understood what she meant, Yan Tianxin was pointing out that the designer of this Hundred Spirits Altar may be the High Priest of Haori, but after the death of Master Haori, the establishment of the Reincarnation Array depended on another person, and from what they had learned, this person was most likely Princess Longyu. It's hard to imagine how a nine-year-old girl could organize and implement the reincarnation array in front of her, gathering so many creatures to sacrifice at the Hundred Spirits Altar, and using their blood to gather into a pool of blood.

Judging from the bones of the place they passed just now, there were hundreds of people who were sacrificed here in the blood pool in front of them alone, Luo Hunt seemed to have the scene of the living sacrifice in front of his eyes, and his heart was creepy, he seemed to see the childish Princess Longyu standing on the altar and giving orders, why did an immature girl have such a strong heart.

Luo Lie raised his head and looked up by the beam of the flashlight, but saw that the top of the altar was an arched dome, such a style is not common in Chinese architecture, Yan Tianxin and Luo Lie discovered the situation almost at the same time, the dome should have had murals, but now the murals above the dome have all been artificially peeled off, and the peeling edges are fresh, and the time for the murals to be destroyed is not long.

Yan Tianxin and Luo Lie glanced at each other, did not speak, and quietly held the handle of the gun in their hands, obviously someone had come here before them, maybe they had left not long ago, maybe that person was still nearby, secretly spying on their every move.

Luo Lie began to doubt his own insight, except for the inexplicable suppressed feeling in his heart, he didn't feel anything abnormal, could it be that this place is the same as the Nine Secret Realm, once you enter this environment, it will affect people, making your thoughts and feelings paralyzed?
