Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ancient Tomb
Just when Xie Yun felt that he was about to be swallowed by the giant python, he found that the speed of the giant python suddenly slowed down, and the giant python seemed to sense something, and couldn't help but hesitate, and didn't dare to chase too fast for a while.
"The giant python has slowed down, we are not dead for the time being!" Xie Yun couldn't help but cheer.
"What...... Duanmu's attention was all on the python and he didn't hear clearly.
Xie Yun ignored him, he said to himself: "What's going on, could it be that we entered the territory of another fierce beast, so the giant python didn't dare to chase it?"
Just as they were thinking, they suddenly fell off a steep slope with their feet empty, screaming.
Fortunately, there were no stones or wood stubble on the steep slope, and there was a thick layer of sand, so the two of them were not injured, but despite this, the three of them were also dizzy. Xie Yun and Duanmu's attention was completely focused on the giant python, and they didn't even notice that there was a big pit in front of them.
Falling to the bottom of the pit, Xie Yun hurriedly got up. "Miaoyun, are you okay?" Xie Yun hurriedly asked, this steep slope didn't cause him any harm, but he wasn't sure if it hurt Miaoyun.
"I'm fine, Brother Xie. Miao Yun said that she had been in Xie Yun's arms, and Xie Yun had resisted most of the impact for her when she fell.
Xie Yun saw that Miaoyun was fine, so he raised his eyes to look around, only to find that they had fallen into a large pit dug by hand. The bottom of the pit was flat, almost the size of half a football field, and it was surrounded by steep slopes, both the slope and the bottom of the pit were yellow sand. And the giant python wandered and wandered on the big pit, standing upright from time to time, spitting scarlet letters and looking at the two people at the bottom of the pit viciously.
Something was wrong, Xie Yun had such a feeling, he only felt that his divine sense was completely useless in the giant pit, as if the giant pit had a mysterious force blocking his divine sense. Thinking about it, he didn't believe that a monk in the foundation building period would step into a pit when he walked, even if a monster chased after him. Thinking about it this time, at that time, my divine consciousness did not find this big hole that could stop my divine consciousness.
Seeing that the giant python didn't dare to come down for a while, Xie Yun felt relieved, and then he found that in the center of the bottom of the big pit, someone had built a big bag with many huge stones, and it looked like a huge tomb from a distance. In the center of the big bag built by the boulder, there is a one-person high hole, and it is dark and faint and does not know where it leads.
Xie Yun patted Duanmu and asked, "Hurry up and see what kind of place this is?"
Duanmu got up, looked around, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, and he said incredulously, "We actually came here?"
Xie Yun hurriedly asked where this was, and Duanmu replied: "Our ancestors, that is, the Hua Yi people in ancient times, have a unique burial method, all the dead Hua Yi people will be carried to a hole in no man's land for burial, which can not only ensure the safety of the tomb, but also allow all relatives to get together after death and never be separated." ”
Then Duanmu said: "Later, there were several conflicts between the Hua Yi and the Snake Hua Yi in southern Xinjiang, and the Hua Yi people were defeated and displaced, so they gradually gave up this burial method. ”
Xie Yun always felt that there was a strangeness revealed here, which made him think of the cave where the demon vine was, Xie Yun couldn't help but ask: "Then in this kind of tomb, are there any fierce beasts, I don't dare to approach the giant python chasing us." ”
Duanmu shook his head and said: "The age is too old, and the records are very scarce, and now few Huayi people still know this burial method, and I don't know the specific situation." ”
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of sand on the steep slope, and they turned their heads to see that the python had finally made up its mind and climbed down the steep slope.
The two of them suddenly had a numb scalp, Xie Yun gritted his teeth and said: "I can't run and can't run the giant python, so far, I can only break into the hole, I hope your ancestors can bless us both for your sake." ”
Duanmu's gaze was very evasive: "The people who usually offend me, I not only have to kill them, but also dig up his ancestral grave, I have done so many bad things, it is difficult to say whether the ancestors will bless them or not." ”
Xie Yun was angry for a while, but there was no other way at the moment, so he had to beckon Duanmu and Miaoyun to get into the dark hole in the big bag built by the big stone.
As soon as you enter the cave, the temperature seems to drop a lot in an instant, and inside the cave is a long passage, with countless stone stairs leading to the deep underground. Xie Yun got the dark eye, seeing in the dark is naturally not a problem, Duanmu is strong and not afraid of the dark, only Miaoyun can't see at night, so he has to grab Xie Yun's clothes and follow behind.
The lower the temperature became, the two of them exhaled white air and walked forward, the cave was damp and cold, and Duanmu soon shivered. I don't know how long I walked, but I finally came to the end of the stone steps, and the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.
It was a huge grotto, and the place where the two men stood was on a cliff at the edge of the huge grotto, and on the edge of the cliff, there were longer stone steps leading down the cliff. In this huge grotto, the two of them looked extremely small, and from where they stood, they could not see the other end of the grotto, only a piece of darkness, like an endless void.
The three of them stood on the cliff and looked down, and could only see countless coffins formed into a huge phalanx, located at the bottom of the grotto, and in the phalanx formed by those coffins, there were countless green ghost fires, which looked like countless stars in the night sky, illuminating the dark grottoes in a patch of green, and even Miaoyun could see normally.
This is an extremely shocking scene, both of them couldn't help but take a breath, I don't know how many generations of accumulation will create so many coffins. The two walked down the stone steps on the edge of the cliff, and after a long time, they came to the bottom of the grotto, and saw the bones of a fierce beast.
The skeleton of the unknown beast was huge, as tall as a three-story building, and it looked like a huge tiger and a ferocious wolf. The skeleton had a huge iron chain tied around its neck, and the other end of the chain was nailed to the cliff face, and the cliff had been cracked like a spider's web, so you could see how the beast struggled before it died.
"This is the Tomb Protector Divine Beast!" Duanmu said, "I can't imagine that such a powerful Divine Beast can't stop the erosion of the years, and at this time, there are only a bunch of remains left." ”
Xie Yun couldn't help but wonder, although the bones of this fierce beast looked terrifying, but there was no doubt that the fierce beast could not die again, could it be that this was such a body that frightened the giant python? Thinking of this, Xie Yun raised his eyes and looked towards the huge coffin phalanx.
The huge phalanx of coffins is stacked on top of each other, I don't know how high it is, the coffins on the lowest layer have turned into dust, several places in the phalanx have collapsed, many of the coffins on the upper level have fallen to the ground, the rotten coffins are shattered, and some of the remains that have been dried are scattered out. Although the view was blocked by the coffin in many places, Xie Yun couldn't see a ghost above this giant phalanx, but thinking about it, after such a long time, the ghosts had already been reincarnated, even if there were resentful ghosts, they couldn't resist the time at all, and they were dissipated little by little, and they also went to the Netherworld.
Even so, Xie Yun didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he flipped his palm, and the ghost head was summoned. As soon as the ghost head appeared, those blood-red eyes stared at Xie Yun extremely unkindly, he had been summoned to resist a giant python's lightning before, half of his head was blown up, and the hatred in his heart was endless.
Xie Yun shouted unceremoniously: "What to see, don't let me go to the front to inspect and see if there is any danger." ”
He wants to do dangerous things by himself again, and the resentment in the eyes of the ghost head is even heavier. Xie Yun thought for a while and said, "Hehe, don't be too angry, wait for the next time I slaughter another monk, and his flesh and blood will make up for you." ”
The ghost believes you, and the ghost head said hatefully in his heart, but then he thinks, isn't he a ghost?
Xie Yun took out the porcelain vase in his hand, and he shook the small porcelain vase with good intentions and said, "If you are disobedient, you will know the end." Don't even think about running away, the porcelain vase is in my hand, as long as my mind moves, you will be gone. ”
The ghost head was taken by Xie Yun's obscenity, and although he kept scolding in his heart, he still floated his lonely head and patrolled the coffin phalanx.
Xie Yun and Duanmu didn't dare to enter the coffin phalanx, they just looked at the edge in a small area. After a while, Duanmu asked, "Little brother, why did you say that giant python hasn't come down yet?"
Xie Yun listened quietly, only to hear a sound at the top of the stone steps. So Xie Yun said: "I think the python is still lingering at the entrance of the cave, and it seems to be extremely afraid of this, and it doesn't dare to come down for the time being." ”
Duanmu frowned: "Then what should I do, that python can't get out for a day if it doesn't leave Lao Tzu for a day, if it doesn't leave Lao Tzu for ten days, it will have to be trapped here for ten days, can you want Lao Tzu to eat dead human flesh?" Then he looked at the remains in the coffin that were almost turned to ashes, and said: "The meat of the ancestors can't be eaten, if you don't think of a way, Lao Tzu can only eat your meat." ”
"It's best not to think about it," Xie Yun said unceremoniously, "You can't beat me, and it's not certain who will eat whose flesh at that time." ”
Duanmu's face changed, and finally he smiled and said, "Look, I'm not talking about it, I see that the little brother is young and promising, and he has a strange skill, so there will definitely be a way." ”
Xie Yun was about to look around to see if there was any other way out of this grotto, when he seemed to hear a human voice from the coffin phalanx. Xie Yun immediately held his breath and listened intently, but there was a dead silence all around, and there was no sound at all.
"Did you hear that?" Xie Yun couldn't help but ask.
