Volume 1 Yu Yue Continuation Chapter 017 A Thousand Years of No Rotting Corpses
This passage below is obviously artificially built, neatly paved with a large piece of blue strip stone, the age should be the same period as the stone gate above, the preliminary judgment, the ancestors of Yuling should have repaired here, the stone seams are sealed with Dan lacquer, the large square bricks on the ground are very flat, it is like the Yongdao in the ancient tomb.
Although I have seen many burial pits for human sacrifice before, which are usually full of white bones, I have never seen such a large-scale pile of bones, and these bones are deliberately piled up, instead of burying them all in the earth like a burial ditch, and their purpose is obviously not as simple as sacrifice.
Chen Ziyue frowned, not daring to look, there were skulls scattered in the pile of bones, and the three of us each held a weapon, groping our way forward in the dark. This space is very large, completely artificially excavated, there is a dead silence inside, there are countless upside-down stalagmites on the dome, but a closer look reveals that this is not a naturally formed carbonate crystal, but an artificially polished resume rock thorn, very sharp, the light of the flashlight shines on it, and there is a faint reflection.
"I'll it, if this thing is smashed down, we won't have enough to spend ten lives."
After walking less than a few dozen meters, he suddenly found a cold and dim white light in front of him, as if it was a ghost fire. Ji Weiqi hurriedly waved her hand, and the three of us immediately stopped, turned off all light sources, and stared at the ghostly cold light in the darkness.
"This ......" I was a little surprised, and I saw that where the ghost fire was shining, there were figures standing, all dressed in plain clothes, ancient clothes and crowns, and standing there with their heads down.
"Ahh Chen Ziyue trembled with fright, grabbed my arm, and buried her head in my body.
"Don't be afraid!" I patted her on the shoulder.
"Are these people dead or alive?" I was surprised.
"It must be a dead man." Ji Weiqi walked over slowly.
I followed, and I saw that they were all standing on the edge of the grotto, looking like hanged ghosts on TV, with their hair disheveled, but fortunately they didn't stick out their tongues. They stood in several rows, blocking a hole, and they couldn't count the thousands, hundreds. Their bodies emitted a ghostly white light, and the originally dark cave was lit up by those ghost fires, but this light made people feel like they were falling into a cold ice hell, and their whole bodies could not stop shivering.
"Lin Kun, I'm afraid." Chen Ziyue shuddered.
"Don't say it's you, I'm a little panicked in my heart." I squeezed her hand, and the veins on my head jumped.
Only Ji Weiqi walked over without fear and walked through these corpses. I held my breath and didn't even dare to breathe. I blocked Chen Ziyue's eyes and walked through these corpses step by step with it. Although I was also scared in my heart, I couldn't help but go back and look at these corpses.
It doesn't matter if I don't look at it, something happened when I saw it, I just glanced at one of the corpses, but I was surprised to find that the corpse's hair was scattered and the face was actually fresh, if it was an ancient corpse thousands of years ago, how could it be so well preserved in the water, and it didn't rot at all? Looking at the beautiful face and the living person, what is the reason for the cold blue light emitted from the corpse?
"Sister Qi......" I couldn't figure it out, and my heart was beating wildly. I tried to find out what to do, but when I turned to look, I found that she was also standing motionless in front of a corpse.
At this moment, except for the increasingly rapid and restless breathing of Chen Ziyue and me, there was no other sound, all of which was carried out in silence.
"Sister Qi, what's wrong with you?" I walked over and asked.
I saw Ji Weiqi standing in place with a solemn face, looking at the corpse in front of me, out of curiosity, I also looked down under the corpse's hair, who knew that I had just taken a look, and couldn't help but tremble, not because of how ugly this corpse was, on the contrary, it was beautiful and abnormal, but-
I almost sat on the ground, and the whole person collapsed in an instant, as if I had lost my soul, and I actually spit out a crazy sentence, "Ziyue, how could it be you?" ”
It turned out that what I saw from the corpse's face turned out to be exactly the same face as Chen Ziyue, with the same facial features, the same outline, and even the same height. I stood up suddenly, and looked at the corpse next to me, something even more terrifying happened, the corpse's face was exactly the same as Sister Buddha, and then I looked at the others, and after some searching, I actually saw Cheng Yiyun, Sister Meng, Dadi and Xu Qian.
"Sister Qi, what's going on?" I could scarcely believe my eyes, these incorruptible corpses from thousands of years ago were so similar to today's people, and they were standing together, "This is definitely not a coincidence, why is this?" ”
Chen Ziyue kept covering her eyes and didn't dare to look at the corpses around her, and when she heard my words, she couldn't help but get angry and said, "Lin Kun, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm here, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Ji Weiqi spoke, "This is the gate to the Demon Kingdom, and these people are the ancestors who are willing to sacrifice their lives to seal the Demon King. ”
"First saint? Beelzebub? What does this mean exactly? I asked.
Ji Weiqi shook his head and said: "This is just a very old legend, legend has it that the demon king manipulated the evil dragon to cause a flood, Shenzhou fell into the kingdom of Ze, King Yu angrily beheaded the dragon and defeated the demon king, but the demon king attached a wisp of his soul to King Yu's body before he died, and then among the heirs born by King Yu, there is the blood of the demon king, but no one knows who is the next demon king." So, King Yu thought of a way, he imprisoned a demon dragon at the bottom of the dragon burial pit, luring the descendants of the demon king to rescue the demon dragon, and finally one day a young man came here, revealing his true face, and later, the saints worked together to besiege it inside. However, the ancestors couldn't bear to kill each other, so they let the tiger return to the mountain, and the demon king established the demon kingdom inside, and the ancestors used their souls to build a seal and seal the gate of the demon kingdom forever. ”
"Then why them?" There was not only confusion in my eyes, but also deep fear.
"I don't know." Ji Weiqi shook her head and didn't speak again.
I searched through these corpses, and finally walked up to Ji Weiqi in despair, and said, "Sister Qi, among all the people here, I saw Ziyue, Sister Fo, Yiyun, Sister Meng, Dadi and Sister Qian, but I didn't see me, but you didn't see me. ”
"What do you want to say?" Ji Weiqi glanced at me, "Am I or are you?" ”
At that moment, a stone suddenly fell straight down with a sharp sound, and in the quiet of the cave, this small sound was amplified tenfold by the dome-shaped cave wall.
I looked at Ji Weiqi in astonishment, and before I could speak, I knew that the stone on it would not fall for no reason, and it must have been activated. The three of us stood still, not daring to move, let alone look over there.
I thought in my heart, what Ji Weiqi said just now is just a legend, but it may not be groundless, I have a faint worry in my heart, if the legend of this demon king is true, then the new demon king may be between myself and Ji Weiqi. However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that I am too careful, what is the matter with myself What is the demon king, if she becomes the demon king, then I have nothing to worry about, I am powerless to stop it, it is better to die happily.
I pricked up my ears to listen to the movement over there, but it was still a dead silence, and I was suspicious, so I gestured to Ji Weiqi, ready to go over and take a look, but Ji Weiqi gently shook her hand and signaled me not to move. At this time, I suddenly felt that Chen Ziyue was pinched on my arm, and I immediately came back to my senses, only to hear Chen Ziyue whisper: "Lin Kun, how do I feel about the descendants in this cave?" ”
"Anyone?" I wondered, "Could it be that the Great Demon King escaped by himself?" ”
"What should come will come after all, it's only a matter of time." I turned my body slightly and looked back.
Ji Weiqi glared at me and said, "Why are you going?" ”
"Sister Qi, are you the Demon King?"
"Are you scared silly!" Ji Weiqi slapped me unequivocally, "I said that it was a legend, how can I take it seriously!" ”
I touched my cheek aggrievedly and said, "Why are you really fighting." ”
Chen Ziyue smiled: "You deserve it, it's me and I slap you!" ”
"Go and go, I'm talking about business, Sister Qi, there's movement behind."
Ji Weiqi ignored me and said to look at the front and leave the back alone. However, I listened to the small voice behind me gradually approaching, and at this time, it was impossible for Ji Weiqi not to find out, and wondered: "Could it be that Sister Qi is really the Demon King, she is deliberately trying to harm me!" ”
While thinking about it, I seemed to hear a sonorous sound of iron armor, and I wondered, "Is it an ancient army?" At this point, I couldn't hold my breath any longer, and suddenly I jumped up from the ground, looked back, raised my knife, and struck.
I turned around and looked, but found that there was no movement behind me at all, and I still hadn't figured out what was going on, whether it was my auditory hallucination or Chen Ziyue's auditory hallucination. Seeing that I was acting privately, Ji Weiqi was naturally very annoyed, and dragged me back, shouting: "You kid don't want to die!" ”
"Sister Qi, you really aren't the Demon King, I believe it, you said it shouldn't be me, right? I just ......"
"Idiot, I heard that footstep too, but it's just the sound of the Netherworld!"
Ji Weiqi glared at me a few times, and I suddenly realized at this time, I was ashamed and regretful in my heart, I shouldn't suspect that Ji Weiqi was the demon king. Unbeknownst to him, it didn't take long for the standing corpses to emit a strong blue light, and the entire cave flickered brightly and darkly, as if there were countless fireflies flying rapidly in the darkness.
Just as the light and darkness flickered, suddenly, the grottoes on the grotto fell like raindrops, and the three of them couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly turned around and fled into the cave.
