Chapter Ninety-Five: Da Yue, Extinction? (8000)
The Eighth Prince knew very well in his heart that the key to this plan was the map.
But the map has been snatched away by the thousand-faced fox, and Xu Bai and others came over, and they lost the opportunity to continue to snatch the map back.
came and went, and the originally well-thought-out plan has become today's rotten job for various reasons.
Rotten, really rotten.
And all this is because of the Jianghu man named Xu Bai.
If there was no Xu Bai, I am afraid that Yun Zihai would have been killed a long time ago, if there was no Xu Bai, even if Yun Zihai came here first, he might not have been able to pass the level of the ghost sculptor, if there was no Xu Bai, he would have been successful a long time ago.
Why start this second plan?
The Eighth Prince has always believed that he is an extremely cautious person, so he has been preparing a second set of plans.
But he really didn't want to start this second plan.
Feeling the blood that was rapidly draining from his body, and feeling the pill in his mouth, the Eighth Prince smiled bitterly.
The pill was slowly melting, and he could clearly feel that the speed of the melting, he didn't know if it could support it until the end.
Even if you are a six-rank master, you will die if you lose too much blood.
The wound was slowly healing, and in order to prevent the wound from completely healing, the eighth prince also wiped the wound from time to time to let the wound continue to deepen.
While spilling blood, he moved forward quickly.
The speed of the Eighth Prince is very fast, but fortunately, there is royal blood, and the surrounding mechanisms are not triggered.
But he knew in his heart that the walls would absorb blood, and it would be fast.
This is a mechanism made by the emperor, and if someone follows from behind, absorbing blood at the speed of the wall, there are not many people behind it, and they will face the mechanism again.
The Eighth Prince didn't know if Xu Bai and the others had gotten the map, but he thought that even if he got the map, the mechanism behind it would at least be able to block the other party for a moment.
After all, he walks unscrupulously, and the other party needs to walk while looking at the map.
Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince walked faster.
The front was still an airtight passage, and the surroundings looked unremarkable, but the Eighth Prince knew in his heart that there were countless dangers in it.
The passage was dark, and the Eighth Prince was sprinkling blood while walking, bleeding heavily.
As you drive along the way, the passage ahead is getting narrower and narrower.
The narrower the passage, the more unwieldy it is in the event of an accident.
Obviously, the designer of this passage said that in the end, only one person could pass through.
When the Eighth Prince walked some distance, there was a sudden abnormality in front of him.
The narrow passage gradually widened, and at last, the eighth prince stopped in front of a door.
This door is extremely wide, about ten meters on the left and right sides, and even with it, this space is incredibly large.
"According to the book, this door is the last passage." The eighth prince was ecstatic: "If I can enter, I will be able to get the imperial uncle's treasure, and at that time, I will no longer stop at the six grades!" ”
As soon as he thought of this, the Eighth Prince became more and more excited.
What he wants is the legacy left behind by the Ascending King after his death.
In fact, what is really valuable is included in the royal treasury by his father, and what is left in the tomb is not needed by his father.
Of course, even if the royal family doesn't need it, it's enough to cause a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes.
The Eight Princes are not here.
What he needs, the real treasure, is not these.
These were only incidental, and what he needed was what was recorded in that book.
By chance, the Eighth Prince obtained a book in the royal library.
In the imperial library, most of them can read it, and they can only let them see it, and the emperor is extremely strict with them.
The book was originally intended as the autobiography of the Ascending Shadow King, placed in the lowest corner, with a thick layer of ash on top.
When the Eighth Prince was in the royal treasury, he accidentally discovered it.
At that time, he had stopped at Liupin for a long time.
The exercises given by the emperor can only be regarded as a medium level among the six grades, and he does not dare to practice others, and the punishment after being found is extremely terrifying.
It was in a depressed mood that he wandered in the royal treasury, and just wandered to the corner to see this book covered with a layer of dust.
At that time, he was in a bad mood, coupled with his curiosity about the Ascension King, so the eighth prince opened the book.
Later, I discovered the mystery of this book.
What is written in the book is about the past of the Ascending Shadow King, and the author of this book is also the Ascending Shadow King.
Unconsciously, the eighth prince was fascinated at that time.
A book that writes all the magnificent life of the King of Ascension.
This prince followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, which can be said to have made great achievements, and his life is condensed in this book, which is breathtaking.
Just as the Eighth Prince was fascinated, he didn't expect that next, he saw the mystery.
The exercises cultivated by the King of Ascension lie in the momentum of the military formation, especially when he is in the army, and it is even more indistinguishable.
Even if all the soldiers are ordinary people, under the military formation of the Ascension King You, they can reverse the general trend.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the Ascension King died and was buried.
But in the end, still not seen, the so-called tiger talisman.
What is Tiger Talisman?
The tiger talisman is a military talisman used by the emperor to dispatch troops, a token made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger, cracked into two halves, of which the left half is handed over to the general, and the right half is kept by the emperor.
Only two Tiger Talismans can be used together at the same time, and the holder of the Talisman will be given the right to dispatch troops.
But in the Great Chu Kingdom, what the King of Shengyou has in his hands is a complete tiger talisman, because the emperor has enough trust in him, and because at that time, the King of Shengyou took the initiative to withdraw from the competition for the throne.
If the method of military formation is after his death, it will be integrated into what he was always in charge of and closely related to when he was alive.
This also means that the Tiger Talisman may have been integrated into the method of the military formation of the Ascension King.
As for why the Eight Princes know, it comes from the content that the Eight Princes are in charge of.
What the Eight Princes are in charge of is the entry and exit of the royal treasury.
Although he is in charge, he does not dare to act rashly.
At the time of the death of the Ascension King, the things that entered the royal treasury were related to the Ascension King and there was no tiger talisman.
There are only two possibilities.
One is that the emperor himself kept it, after all, the importance of the tiger talisman is more valuable than most things in the royal treasury.
The second is to make the funeral goods of the King of Ascension.
According to what is written in the book, the Eighth Prince believes that the second possibility is very high.
In this book, the Ascension King said a word.
- In his life, the emperor trusted only one person, and that was the King of Ascension.
Based on this analysis, the Eighth Emperor believed that the tiger talisman was likely to become a funerary object.
The reason is simple.
First of all, the emperor himself does not know the method of military formation, even if he gets the tiger talisman, it is impossible to play it.
Secondly, the emperor only trusted the King of Ascension, how could such an important thing be given to a second person?
Without the military array, the strength of the Ascension King is very poor.
And why did the King of Shengyou go to Shengxian alone?
In this autobiography, the most important reasons are recorded in detail, and they are also at the end.
It was written that he was going to go to Shengxian alone with the tiger talisman.
That's all.
Other than that, there is no other news, just this paragraph.
The most important thing for the Eighth Prince is also in this passage.
- Tiger Talisman!
When the Ascension King left, he took the Tiger Talisman with him, but until now, he had not seen any news of the Tiger Talisman.
The royal treasury he was in charge of didn't, and he had been secretly investigating it ever since he got his hands on the book.
In the end, he really investigated a piece of news.
The people who buried King Shengyou and built a mausoleum for King Shengyou were secretly executed by the emperor, but in the end there was still one alive.
He struggled to escape from the siege of that year.
After escaping, he didn't dare to have any strange thoughts, so he kept incognito until he was discovered by the Eighth Prince.
To be precise, it was not discovered by the Eighth Prince, but by the Thousand-Faced Fox.
At that time, after the thousand-faced fox took this person to find the eighth prince, he chatted with the eighth prince about a lot of things, and finally the eighth prince made up his mind to do it.
According to the man, the map of the mausoleum was always hidden in the royal treasury.
The Eighth Prince immediately reached a cooperation with the Thousand-Faced Fox, and used his authority to quietly steal the map.
But in the end, he was discovered, and while he was still alive, he used fake death to escape and escaped.
And then there's the aftermath, all the way to now.
The Tiger Talisman is too important, and if he has a Tiger Talisman, he will have the capital to fight against the emperor.
As soon as he thought of the emperor's harsh restraints on them in the past, especially thinking that they couldn't even break through the six grades, the eighth prince had long been dissatisfied.
Coupled with the huge benefits of the Tiger Fu, the Eighth Prince couldn't get rid of it at all and decided to take a risk.
Looking at the huge gate in front of him, the Eighth Prince was excited, slowly raised his hand, and pressed it on the door.
There was still blood on the big hand, and when the palm touched the door, the whole door rumbled, and then slowly opened a crack.
The gap gradually widened and widened, and in the blink of an eye, the door opened automatically, revealing the space inside.
It was all dark inside, and I couldn't see clearly.
The eighth prince thought that he couldn't delay any longer, the effect of the medicine in his mouth was about to wear off, and he raised his feet and walked in.
As he stepped inside, the darkness in front of him was fading away.
It wasn't just the darkness that disappeared, the open door behind him snapped and closed tightly.
And the moment the door was closed, the darkness inside was revealed and brightened.
Torches are embedded in the walls and light up the surroundings.
With the moment the torch lit up, the Eighth Emperor saw the scene around him, the cold hair on his whole body stood upright, and the child's holes shrunk, as if he saw a terrifying monster.
He saw that the originally dark space became brighter, and in the blink of an eye, he saw one after another terracotta warriors.
The boxy camp, with each terracotta army less than half a meter apart, filled the entire room.
The large and huge room, which can accommodate tens of thousands of terracotta warriors, looks extremely solemn.
But in addition to being solemn, the Eighth Prince felt an extremely cold gloom that made his heart tremble.
He felt that the group of terracotta warriors seemed to come to life, staring at him with a cold gaze, making him feel cold all over his body, and he couldn't take a step.
The sensation came suddenly, without any warning, without even giving him the slightest buffer.
The line of sight extended along the group of terracotta warriors, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to the end.
At the end of this group of terracotta warriors, there is a pitch-black sarcophagus, suspended in mid-air.
On top of the sarcophagus, there are layers of iron chains, and the ends of the chains are nailed to the wall, and it is precisely because they are nailed to the wall that they float in mid-air.
"Something is wrong, this is absolutely wrong!" The Eighth Prince couldn't control himself anymore, stretched out his trembling hand, pointed at the group of warriors in front of him, and made a sound of fear.
How can there be terracotta warriors here, and there are so many?
The main thing is the sarcophagus, which is protected behind by the terracotta warriors, and looking at the posture of this group of terracotta warriors, it seems that they are guarding their king.
And with this frightened voice, the Eighth Prince suddenly stopped moving, like a wooden corpse, standing in place, and the raised hand was slowly withdrawn.
In just a moment, a layer of gray-white traces appeared on the Eighth Prince's body.
After the traces appeared, the color intensified over time, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from grayish white to earthy yellow.
In addition to the aggravation of the color, this earthy yellow color is also constantly thickening, gradually spreading from the skin of the Eighth Prince, filling his whole body.
"Living Terracotta Warriors! I know! I know! The Eighth Prince shouted again, but his words had stopped in the next moment, as the earthy yellow earth filled his body up and down.
Gradually, the Eighth Prince lost his breath of life, just kept his original appearance, slowly raised his feet, and walked into the terracotta warrior phalanx.
"Smack!"
With a slight thud, the torches around the walls went out, and everything returned to normal.
But this is only a restoration of the darkness, and other changes have been made in the darkness.
The whispers of a dream demon echoed throughout the night.
The ground, which began to shake at a strange frequency, with more and more amplitude, was spreading towards the entire mausoleum.
……
There was an abnormality on the side of the Eighth Prince, and in the passage away from the Eighth Prince, Xu Bai and the others were holding the map in their hands and moving forward slowly.
In Zhou Qing's words, this matter is absolutely not urgent, because like this kind of tomb of the King of Ascension, there will definitely be unimaginable traps, and if you are in a hurry, it will be easy for something big to happen.
They looked at the location on the map, and although it wasn't fast, it was safe.
From the approximate location on the map, you can see a relatively perfect outline.
And from this outline, the mausoleum should be closed, and only one-way access can be made.
The Eight Princes can't escape, and if they want to escape, they can only escape from their direction.
Therefore, Xu Bai and the others were walking, and they were also on guard, and the embankment killed the eighth prince of the horse gun.
Unexpectedly, the road was very safe, and it wasn't until halfway through the walk that Xu Bai noticed the difference.
"You see the walls?"
On the walls, there were dark red blood stains, which had long since dried up.
"The Eighth Prince is injured?" Yun Zihai was slightly stunned.
"Maybe, no one can say for sure." Xu Bai said: "But if his body is not found, none of us can relax our vigilance." ”
Whether it was injured or something else, it is not known at this time.
And if you want to know the real answer, you can only go all the way.
Several people no longer hesitated, and Zhou Qing was more focused, holding the map, and walking a little faster.
As they walked, everyone felt more and more strange, for the simple reason that the blood on the walls was so evenly thrown that it was almost unbroken along the way.
Is it okay to bleed a lot!
Who has so much blood for this?
It's already been done a long time ago, and you still survive?
"It's a hematopoietic pill, an elixir in the royal treasury." Qingxue said suddenly.
He himself is the personal maid of the Ninth Princess, and when he saw the bizarre scene in front of him, he naturally thought of that kind of elixir.
"It seems that our Eighth Emperor is not injured, but has escaped the mechanism in this way." Xu Bai touched his chin, thought of everything he had seen before, and came to a conclusion.
"Hurry up." Yun Zihai urged Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing turned his head and said helplessly: "It's already the fastest speed." ”
Dense sweat appeared on his forehead, apparently due to excessive concentration, which was very hurtful.
After all, he was ahead, and if he made a mistake, danger would come and drown them completely.
Xu Baigang wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a strange change appeared.
The ground began to shake at a certain frequency, and the amplitude of the shaking became larger and larger, and people were about to lose their footing.
"Not good!" Yun Zihai was on guard.
But at this time, the feeling of vibration began to gradually decrease again, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely.
Everything went back to normal, as if it hadn't happened, but the feeling just now was too obvious to fool everyone's eyes.
"What just happened?" Qingxue said suspiciously.
The others shook their heads in unison, all of them saying they didn't know.
This place has become more and more weird, and everyone feels that they can't delay any longer, so they let Zhou Qing continue to lead the way and walk towards the passage.
The passage narrowed and narrowed, and as they had walked some distance, they suddenly opened up again, and then a huge gate came into view.
There is also a delicate floating on the gate, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it, and it matches the dark environment around them.
Xu Bai came closer, and in the darkness, he saw a bloody handprint on the door.
"Can you open it?" Xu Bai turned his head and asked.
Since seeing this door, Zhou Qing has not spoken, as if he has seen something strange, and he is bowing his head in contemplation.
It wasn't until Xu Bai asked that he reacted, oh oh twice, and nodded again and again.
The map doesn't say it's dangerous, it should be able to be opened.
Xu Bai frowned: "What were you thinking just now?" ”
Accompanied by Xu Bai's voice, the others also looked over.
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly: "I walked through this passage just now, and I always felt familiar, especially the passage changed from wide to narrow, and then from narrow to wide, as if I had seen it in a book in our family, but I didn't major in this aspect, so my memory is not very clear, and I can't remember." ”
Xu Bai groaned slightly.
I can't see it, but it seems familiar, Zhou Qing is equivalent to saying a nonsense.
"Let's get ready." Zhou Qing seemed to know that he had said something useless, so he picked up the map in his hand and came to the location of the gate.
He looked up at the door stained with bloody handprints, and then looked down at the map in his hand, and after about half a burnt of incense, he finally turned his head and looked at Xu Bai and the others.
"The map doesn't say how to open it, why do I always feel that something is wrong here, this place is very narrow at first, and then it has become extremely wide, I always feel that the memory in my mind is getting clearer and clearer, everyone wait for me." Zhou Qing tapped his head hard, as if he wanted to get back the memories he had forgotten.
It has come to this point, and everyone is not urging, they are all waiting patiently.
About half a stick of incense has passed.
Zhou Qing had been observing the gate and the floating withering on the gate, and his eyes showed no signs of moving.
At this time, he finally let go of his hand and turned to look at Xu Bai and the others, the shock in his eyes that could never be concealed had long been seen through by Xu Bai and the others.
"Let's go! It is the way to reverse life and death! Zhou Qing just said this word simply, and prepared to return along the same road, without any signs of stopping.
"What the hell is going on? You make it clear first. Xu Bai frowned, feeling that things were not so simple, there must be a big guy hidden here.
"It's definitely not something we can deal with, remember when we came in, first from wide to narrow, and then from narrow to wide? Like two opposing funnels? Zhou Qing gestured with his hand, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and described the terrain they had walked before.
Xu Bai thought about it carefully for a moment, it was really like this, the place they walked was indeed distributed according to this terrain.
But the question arises, what does the so-called reversal of life and death mean?
Not only Xu Bai, but Yun Zihai and Qingxue didn't understand the doorway here, and they all looked at it, waiting for Zhou Qing to give them an answer.
Zhou Qing organized the language, and knew that he had to speak clearly at this time, otherwise he would carry the pot for himself at that time.
"The so-called method of reversing life and death is to bring people back to life through a special formation, to put it simply, it is not to come back from the dead, because that person is not dead, buried in the ground, and uses dead qi to bury the vitality, so as not to completely disperse."
"And the funnel-shaped terrain we saw before, part of it is facing the outside, that is, the vitality is poured into it from the outside, and after shrinking and compressing, it expands out from the other funnel, and the vitality replaces the dead air."
"The anger I am talking about here instead of death is just a pronoun, the so-called anger refers to all people with the breath of life, and we are that person, and the eighth prince is also that person."
Speaking of which, Zhou Qing also roughly explained clearly.
He kept silent and waited for Xu Bai to make the next instructions, after all, here, Xu Bai is the one who can really call the shots.
Whether it is a war or a retreat, you have to give an explanation.
Xu Bai touched his chin with his hand, and after pondering what Zhou Qing had just said, he got a shocking idea.
"The Ascension King is not completely dead, he wants to live again?"
Combined with what Zhou Qing said just now, the topography here is also in line with what Zhou Qing said, coupled with the identity of the people buried here, Xu Bai quickly guessed this.
As soon as this bold idea was spoken, everyone present was stunned on the spot, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
None of the people here are stupid, everyone is smart, and many things are thought through.
When Xu Bai said this answer, they immediately thought of the possibility.
To be precise, the odds are still very high.
"Lord Wang...... Not dead? Qingxue's ruddy lips opened wide, and she could stuff a lot of things.
If that's the case, they really can't stay here.
Who is the Ascension King?
If you are still alive now, you can stomp your feet and turn the entire Great Chu Kingdom upside down.
Qingxue is a royal maid, of course, she knows the inside story better than some laymen, especially the great achievements of King Shengyou.
It was a figure that made the whole hostile country tremble.
"I think we're going to go back first, and then I want to go back to Your Majesty and see how he handles it." Yun Zihai said with a serious face.
Although he has his own tasks, the predicament he is facing now is beyond the limits of what he can handle, and it is something he simply cannot handle.
What's more, he is not the kind of pedantic reader, and after encountering things, flexibility is the most important thing.
Xu Bai doesn't care, anyway, this time he is just a helper, since Yun Zihai doesn't want to participate, then he can't wait to turn around and leave, anyway, after turning around and leaving, his reward will not be less.
From knowing the situation to making up their minds to leave, it seemed to be very slow, but in fact, this decision was only made in an instant.
They barely hesitated, turned around and prepared to leave.
But in the next moment, a strange situation appeared in this dark passage.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound sounded behind him.
When Xu Bai turned his head and saw the situation behind him, his brows were tightly locked.
Behind them, the originally dark passage collapsed, blocking their retreat, and now, all they had left was the gate in front of them.
When the collapsed passage behind him appeared, the door in front of him also made a tooth-aching sound, and it was opening at an extremely slow speed.
Xu Bai: "......"
Does this mean that you have to go in?
As far as the situation in front of me is concerned, it really means this, there is no way behind him, but it is dark before his death.
Zhou Qing's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself: "Reversing the Yin and Yang Dao of Life and Death, Yin and Yang Break Life and Death, It's Over, It's Over, It's Done, He's Alive." ”
In the words, in addition to a tremble, there was more boundless fear.
What they are going to face is the King of Ascension who was once in the Great Chu Kingdom, but made the entire Great Yue Kingdom silent.
Yun Zihai thought about it, took a step forward silently, and walked in front of everyone.
"Smack!"
With a slight sound, the dark space behind the gate is illuminated, and torches are planted around the walls, and when all the light sources come together, the whole space is like day.
Countless terracotta warriors, as well as a sarcophagus suspended at the back, make the space lifeless and full of endless murderous intrigue.
Xu Bai frowned, feeling that something was not quite right here.
This murderous aura is very strong, and if it is an ordinary person here, it can be felt clearly.
But Xu Bai and they are not ordinary people, they have all experienced all kinds of bloody scenes, and in terms of perception in this regard, they can detect the abnormalities that pervade the killing machine.
This murderous aura is naturally generated by each Terracotta Army itself, and it is irrepressibly generated, and it is not directed at them.
In other words, when they stepped into this huge space, there was no crisis for the time being.
"What's that?" At this moment, Qingxue suddenly raised her fair-skinned right hand and pointed to a position.
When everyone heard the voice, they looked at the position pointed by Qing Xue and found that the location they were pointing to was the huge sarcophagus.
Above the sarcophagus, there is a surging phant, constantly shaking.
The moment this phantom appeared, an extremely domineering aura continued to permeate, suppressing the murderous aura in the entire space by three points.
Domineering and strong!
It is full of the coercion of the superiors, and there is a sense of iron and blood.
It's like a mountain that towers into the sky, standing in front of it, whether it's a huge giant elephant or a tiny ant, there will be a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Cards!"
With the appearance of this phantasm, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and then, all the dirt on it shattered and fell to the ground, revealing its true face inside.
Inside the terracotta warriors, a man dressed in black, standing expressionlessly in front of him, his hands drooping, his eyes closed, and there was a silence on that face, as if he was asleep.
"The Eighth Prince!" The cloud is miniature from the sea boy hole.
He couldn't feel the breath of life on the Eighth Prince's body, and it was obvious that he was completely dead, but for some reason, he was still standing on the ground.
When Yun Zihai shouted this sentence, immediately after, the Eighth Emperor had a change.
He was like a cube of ice, slowly melting and disappearing in front of everyone.
Even the ground is gone, and it disappears for no reason.
And at this time, the aura in this space changed again.
That domineering momentum became even more fierce after the disappearance of the Eighth Prince, and at the same time, in addition to the domineering momentum, there was a little more vitality.
As for the reason why you can feel it, it is that the changes in each momentum are too strong, so strong that even ordinary people can detect it.
Xu Bai raised his head, looked at the phantom standing on top of the coffin, and said, "It's coming." ”
What?
Coming?
Everyone was slightly stunned, and then, following Xu Bai's gaze, they immediately showed a shocked expression.
I saw that this phantom gradually solidified and turned into the appearance of a person, and the appearance of this person was the first Eight Princes.
Although his face looked exactly the same as that of the Eighth Prince, everyone could feel that this person was not the Eighth Prince.
Just that domineering and strong aura, the Eighth Emperor couldn't catch up even if he was a horse.
"Come back to life, is it a ......" Zhou Qing's face turned pale.
When this person, who was exactly the same as the Eighth Prince, appeared, he waved his hand lightly.
Immediately afterwards, the tens of thousands of terracotta warriors below actually cracked at the same time.
The sound of shattering is endless, and this scene makes people feel magnificent when they look at it.
The cracks on the terracotta warriors fell off, and one after another living people came out of it.
They are all living and do not have any breath of the dead.
When the living men walked out, they turned around and fell to their knees in unison in front of the people in the coffin.
On the coffin, the "Eighth Prince" waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, his back straightened, and his eyes turned to Xu Bai and them, with boundless domineering.
"It's all good seedlings." The first sentence came out, as if to praise them.
Immediately afterwards, the second sentence was also spoken, but the momentum changed and became murderous.
"Da Yue, do you want to extinguish?"
