Chapter 356: The Man in the Tomb (Two in One)
Click...... Click......
The Blood River Demon Lord carried Ren Kui and walked in the dead and solemn underground palace, with the echo of footsteps on all sides.
Because of the ever-bright lights on both sides, the underground palace is not dark, but you can see gorgeous and exquisite furnishings everywhere.
From time to time, you can also come across some clay figurines in the underground palace. These clay figurines are lifelike, like living people, as if they will stand up and act in the next moment.
Suddenly, the Blood River Demon Lord stopped and stood in front of a corridor. At this stop, Ren Kui swayed and almost touched the clay figurines next to him.
This is a clay figurine dressed as a jade girl, she holds up the lantern with both hands, and kneels quietly in the corner to hold the lamp.
Ren Kui curiously stretched out his hand and poked the clay figurine's nose.
"Be careful, if you wake her up, she'll eat you. ”
"Eat? Is this a living person?"
The Blood River Demon Lord stared at the Jade Maiden Clay Statue and said in a frightened manner, "Do you know? This underground palace, also known as the Imperial Maiden Palace, is the mausoleum of a certain nobleman. She was noble, and after her death, 30,000 people were buried with her, and she turned into clay figurines and stood in the underground palace. You have to be careful, in case you break through the mud figurine, expose the bones inside, and directly trick the corpse to suck up your essence and blood!"
Ren Kui's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously shrank his neck back.
"Big ...... Uncle...... Are you kidding? Don't you need me to open the palace gates?"
The Great Sage of Dinghai once protected this underground palace and repelled the power of the demonic monks. The Blood River Demon Lord could only rely on the shallow jade halal qi in Ren Kui's body as a key, and cooperate with his understanding of this underground palace to unlock some of the mechanisms to move forward.
The Blood River Demon Lord smiled slightly, ignoring Ren Kui.
After walking for a while, the two came to a road.
Demon Lord: "Stinky boy, pay attention. There is a 'Zhuxian Golden Light' in this Yongdao, don't move around. ”
He recalled the footwork of the boss when he walked through the Yongdao, and a green lotus appeared under his feet, and he used the Nine Palace Steps to dodge the golden light of the immortals.
Countless golden lights flew on both sides of the road, but the blue lotus under the feet of the Demon Lord evolved into a heavy world, isolated the attack of the golden light of the immortals, and walked directly to the other side.
The Demon Lord panted and recovered his depleted mana.
"Sure enough, even if I have the realm of Dao Jun, I can't be as relaxed as the boss. ”
When the boss came out of that tomb, even if he lost all his cultivation, he was very calm, far better than his current god-level self.
"Even if I'm a step above the boss now. But he's afraid he can still hang me up and beat me. ”
The Blood River Demon Lord smiled bitterly in his heart, if the boss knew that he was in the devil, I am afraid that he would clean the portal with his own hands?
......
"Those two guys aren't going slowly. Ren Hong took the second daughter to the fourth floor of the underground palace and entered a secret room.
In the secret room, an inverted seven-story pagoda is suspended, and countless runes surround the pagoda model, forming a hologram of the emperor's tomb.
Here, Ren Hong saw the Blood River Demon Lord carrying Ren Kui, walking on the second floor of the underground palace, looking for the entrance to the third layer.
After a little thought, Ren Hong took action to manipulate the model and reverse the mechanism of the entire underground palace.
Han Lian and Yun Jia saw the model disintegrate into small squares, and the first three layers of the dungeon merged into one, transforming into a more extensive dungeon.
The Blood River Demon Lord and Ren Kui are in a burial chamber full of funerary goods. Suddenly, the door to the tomb closed, and the whole room shook.
"Uncle...... Uncle...... What's going on?"
"Shut up!" the Blood River Demon Lord pinched the magic trick in his hand to protect the two of them, observing this incident.
Soon, the door to the tomb was reopened, but the route they had taken was completely different.
"Someone is controlling the underground palace? Could it be the forbidden law left by Jiao Xu?" said in the heart of the Demon Lord: "But I didn't touch the mechanism, how could it cause such a big reaction?"
"Boy, you didn't mess around with anything just now, did you?" he picked up Ren Kui and asked him to look at him at his level.
"What can I move. Ren Kui's face was full of grievances: "Uncle, it's difficult to even move now, how can I start?"
"Moreover, this tomb only has clothes and jewelry, and it is all women's burial goods, what am I doing with these things?"
Yes, this burial chamber was a burial chamber for storing clothes. Hundreds of costumes hang on shelves, as tall as people. Even after thousands of years, these clothes are still gorgeous, as if waiting for their owners to wear them.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. The clothes floated away, like ghosts surrounding the Demon Lord and Ren Kui.
"Ah" Ren Kui exclaimed, and the Demon Lord was also shocked, secretly guarding against these clothes.
But after a while, the clothes returned to their original state.
"It seems that these clothes are not finished. The Demon Lord breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Ren Kui pulled his sleeves violently.
"Uncle...... Doorway...... You...... Did you see that?"
The Demon Lord turned his head to look, and at the end of the corridor that stretched out from the doorway, there was a vague figure standing.
"Boy, hold on!" the Demon Lord moved and rushed towards the floating figure.
But when the Demon Lord passed, the figure appeared at the end of another passage.
Ren Kui felt a chill and clutched the sleeve of the Demon Lord's coat. No matter how bold he was, after seeing this strange scene, he couldn't maintain his mentality, and could only rely on this demon lord who kidnapped him.
The Demon Lord stood with his eyebrows on his face, observing the figure on the other side of the passage.
It was a lantern girl, wearing an emerald skirt and carrying a lantern. In the light of the lamplight, the Demon Lord saw her beautiful and pale face.
"Is that her?"
The Demon Lord had seen this face. He remembered that the eldest had once painted a picture in which the woman was nine points like the girl in front of him.
Soon, the lantern girl vanished.
"Let's chase!" the Demon Lord quickly chased. Where the maiden disappeared, there were a few drops of whale oil.
The Demon Lord sniffed: "It's not an illusion, there was indeed someone just now?"
Not only the ever-bright lamp oil, but also the faint aroma that seems to permeate the dungeon.
After looking left and right, the Demon Lord took Ren Kui to look nearby.
"I don't believe there are ghosts here, and that noble man can't have a soul left. Even if you leave a soul, you will already be reincarnated. ”
A short time later, the girl reappeared, standing in front of a tomb with a lantern.
When the Demon Lord chased after him, the tomb door suddenly opened, and countless cyan vipers rushed out of the portal. Looking in from the door, you can see a jade coffin that is still in place.
"Here it is"
His heart moved, remembering a scene he had experienced.
"Uncle, don't be stunned!" Ren Kui's cry woke him up, and the Demon Lord's sleeve robe was rolled, and the blood mist extinguished the poisonous snakes, and instead used this group of poisonous snakes to strengthen his mana.
"There is also a spirit snake from the Heavenly Tomb here, and it is indeed flesh and blood, how did this snake survive for thousands of years?"
He had this doubt back then, and now he thinks about it again and is curious.
But facing the jade coffin inside the tomb gate, the demon lord did not dare to step in.
He was afraid that if he went in, he would see a familiar face inside the jade coffin.
"Then again, according to the structure of the dungeon. This burial chamber is supposed to be a burial tomb, not the main seat of the heavenly tomb, so there are many jade coffins with similar regulations in one tomb. The boss was sitting on the jade coffin, which means that he was also the burial companion of the owner of a certain heavenly tomb?"
If you can let the boss be buried as a companion, then who is the owner of the tomb in the first place?
In a trance, he seemed to see a jade coffin inside slightly open, and a hand was stretching out from inside.
"Boss?" the Demon Lord subconsciously walked over, but as soon as he entered the tomb gate, an alarm suddenly rose.
"Uncle, be careful!"
With Ren Kui's exclamation, a stout inky blue giant snake rushed down from above and bit down fiercely at the Demon Lord's head.
In the midst of the lightning and fire, the Demon Lord scattered into blood and exploded in all directions.
The serpent threw itself into the air, and the blood and water reunited.
"Hmph! Look for death!" Thousands of blades of blood flew around the snake's body, slashing it alive.
Devouring the blood of the giant serpent, the Demon Lord reverted back to his human form and came to the jade coffin.
But there were no people in the jade coffin, and there was not even a crack in it.
"Hallucinations?"
He wanted to open the jade coffin several times, but finally suppressed his thoughts and pulled Ren Kui away in embarrassment.
After he left, a shadow lantern appeared in the tomb, tilting his head to look at the Demon Lord's fleeing back.
Soon, laughter rang out in the tomb, chasing the Demon Lord.
The Blood River Demon Lord came out of the tomb, and before he could catch his breath, he saw the lantern girl reappear in his field of vision, standing in front of a golden corridor.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he looked nearby and was shocked: no, it was the door of death. I remember that the boss said that in this underground palace, "wood is life, and gold is death." ”
Not daring to approach, the Demon Lord stood in place and held his breath.
At this moment, he sensed that a different force was clouding his perception and eroding his demonic thoughts. Thinking back to the hallucinations not long ago, the Demon Lord didn't understand.
"I didn't realize it, I was incensed, and I was hallucinating in front of my eyes. Do you look at this dungeon and the tomb in the same way?"
Calm down and reflect, the Demon Lord pinched his fingers and calculated, and finally had a result.
"I see, you hid here. ”
This time, he blocked the lantern girl in a tomb.
But in the burial chamber, the girl disappeared again, except for a painting hanging on the wall and a lamp placed on the ground.
The portrait is somewhat similar to the painting that the Demon Lord saw in the Ruyi Pavilion back then. It's just that the layout and structure are different, as well as the posture of the woman in the painting.
But the person in this painting is the girl with the lantern.
Seeing this scene, Ren Kui almost cried in fright.
"Uncle, what we saw just now was a female ghost in the painting? I heard my aunt say that you can get out of the painting when you become a good person in an ancient painting. ”
"It's possible, but I don't feel any power in this painting. ”
Taking a few steps forward, the Demon Lord was going to touch the portrait, but he felt a little rude and forced it down.
"Let's go, we're not looking for her. Find out the purpose of my trip. ”
"Speaking of which, uncle, what are you here for?"
Ren Kui hugged his arms together and wiped the goosebumps off his body. This ancient tomb is too weird, not only is there a clay figurine of a martyrdom, but also a strange girl in the painting. Looking back, won't the owner of the tomb come back to life?
"My purpose is a dream that many immortals dream of and strive for. ”
Walking out of the tomb, the Demon Lord no longer looks for the so-called "Lantern Maiden". Instead, they began to look for the entrance to the next level of the dungeon.
"The illusion pursued by the immortals?"
"Boy, do you know what the highest immortal medicine of the Immortal Family is?"
"I heard the second uncle mention that the supreme immortal spirit pill should be the Nine Turns Golden Pill. ”
After hearing this, the Demon Monarch dismissed: "Although the Nine Turns Golden Pill is good, it is only to let that group of hopeless immortal sect wastes break through the Dao Monarch. The Demon Sect doesn't need this pill to preach. Not the first. ”
"That's the elixir of life? Legend has it that there is an elixir of immortality in the secret realm of Lishan......
"Although the immortal medicine is good, it only has the ability to live forever, how can it be truly immortal?" Speaking of this, the Demon Lord's expression was stunned. If the immortal medicine can really be immortal, why didn't the boss use it back then?
He looked at the dark corridor in front of him and said softly: "Throughout the ages, the most crazy thing is not immortality, not ascension, but the return of the deceased and the revival of the dead......
Ren Kui suddenly understood, and exclaimed: "Come back to life?"
"Yes, resurrection from the dead is the most desired medicine in the world. ”
Let's ask, who doesn't have relatives and friends, who doesn't have people in their hearts who are difficult to part?
"The art of immortality, immortals and demons can practice themselves. The wonder of ascension can also be achieved by immortals and demons. But only resurrection from the dead is a problem that even immortals and demons are difficult to turn around. ”
Let the deceased return, let the regret make up, this is the dream that the fairy family has been pursuing hard but cannot get.
Ren Kui asked cautiously: "But I heard from the second uncle that he once made a move to resurrect mortals." ”
The Demon Lord disagreed: "That resurrection is nothing more than a mortal holding his breath and faking his death, or being dead for less than seven days, and using a secret technique to reinvigorate his soul and reshape his life." But if a person is dead and his soul is gone, there is no hope of resurrection. ”
"Otherwise, how can there be so many reincarnation theories of immortals and demons?"
Ren Kui seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he felt that what this demon lord said was very reasonable. If it is so easy to bring the dead back to life, why doesn't the second uncle resurrect his grandfather and grandmother?
"What does the uncle mean, there is a medicine to revive the dead?"
"Perhaps. ”
He only learned some bits and pieces of information back then, and he didn't know whether there was a medicine to revive the dead.
It's just that a few days ago, I got news from Feng Ruyue, and I was idle and bored, so I came to take a look.
After all, this heavenly tomb has a lot to do with their family boss.
"Who does Uncle want to resurrect?" Ren Kui couldn't help but be curious, and asked again.
Resurrect whom?
The Demon Lord was stunned, and a hundred tastes churned in his chest.
There are too many people he wants to resurrect, his wife and children who were brutally killed by immortal cultivators, his boss who died young, Mu Li who died innocently, and the few friends of life and death who he met after he became a demon.
If there is a medicine to bring the dead back to life, he wants to restore everything to its original state and bring back all the old people.
The Demon Lord reminisces about the past and dismantles the mechanism.
Half an hour later, he stopped in front of a road. Looking at the scene in front of him, the Demon Lord showed a strange expression.
"Hey, why are there still people?" Ren Kui looked over and saw a young man with another embarrassed young man walking through the corridor.
"Don't be afraid, you follow in my footsteps. ”
A green lotus emerged from the young man's feet, passing through the golden light of the immortals.
"Uncle, his method of cracking is the same as yours, huh?"
The Demon Lord's expression became more and more puzzled, and when a golden light in the passage almost grazed the bridge of the embarrassed young man's nose, the young man spoke: "Be careful, otherwise I won't save you." ”
The Demon Lord's expression was shocked: "How is it possible!
Rushing directly to the Yongdao, he cast the Nine Palace Steps and Step by Step Shenglian to come to the young man.
But the young man and the young man next to him seemed to not see him, and passed directly past him, like a phantom of distant time.
"Uncle...... This man...... Why does this person look so similar to you?" Seeing the embarrassed young man, Ren Kui's eyes widened, and he pointed at the two phantoms: "The young man next to here seems to be the second uncle!"
“......”
That's right, this is what happened to the boss and himself in the tomb.
But why, in this tomb of the emperor in the East China Sea, you can see the illusion of the tomb?
"Although the two ancient tombs are the inheritance of the Emperor's Pavilion lineage, they should not be so closely connected. ”
......
Ren Hong sat in front of the console of the dungeon, looking at the now modified dungeon model, revealing a suspicious look.
"It's weird. Ren Hong muttered to himself: "Looking at his speed and movements through the first layer, it doesn't seem like he doesn't know the trick." But why are you so often going down the dead end now?"
That's right, Ren Hong can't see the so-called "lantern girl" in the model. He could only see the Demon Lord carrying Ren Kui and constantly walking into the trap, almost triggering a chain of traps several times and dying on the spot.
"It's hard to be, he's deliberately provocative. Announce to me that the organs in the dungeon will not kill him, so he deliberately made these moves to test the bottom line of the organs in the dungeon?"
Ren Hong made another move to adjust the organs, pushing all kinds of sinister and vicious immortal magic organs to the surroundings of the Demon Lord, and arranging them into a chain bureau. As long as one mechanism is triggered, the next mechanism will be one after another, torturing the Demon Lord to death.
Clatter, squeak
There was a new sound in the underground palace, and the tomb situation changed again, and even the change was still unexpected by Ren Hong. In some places, he obviously did not change, but he also changed, and the fourth floor where he was and the fifth floor below also merged in, forming a five-layer one-in-one flat cemetery.
"What's going on? Could it be that there are third parties in this dungeon besides the two of us?"
"Childe, look!"
After Han Lian and Yun Jia came in, they have been appeasing Yun Jia, who is afraid of ghosts. Although this tomb was dry and tidy, there was a vicious eight-armed statue of the Heavenly King in the corner, which made Yun Jia vigilant.
What Han Lian refers to is the first floor of the original underground palace, and now the far left side of the cemetery. Right now, a few bruised dragon gods broke in.
"Someone is coming in again, are they looking for death?" Ren Hong's face turned cold, and he was about to urge the agency to kill them.
Suddenly, he saw Lei Xiong and Huo Xuan Zhenren also coming in.
Then the Kunlun Five True People, the Nine Dragons, and the Oriental Proud Wind were ...... The immortal dragons who stayed in the Dinghai Palace almost all came to the underground palace.
syllable
Han Lian and Yun Jia were startled, and the second daughter saw the smile on Ren Hong's face getting brighter and brighter, but his gaze became colder and colder.
"This group of people, are they writing me out of the right words?"
What am I writing outside?
Han Lian's heart moved, recalling Ren Hong's strange behavior after entering the underground palace, and had a guess.
And Yun Jia also touched it and secretly said in her ear: "You say, will Ren Hong be taken away by the yin ghost in the tomb?"
Han Lian was taken aback, indeed. If the son is taken away by the owner of the tomb, he will naturally understand the mechanism in the tomb. It is very likely that the stone tablet on the outside was also left by him.
But is that really the case?
Compared with Yun Jia's guess, Han Lian felt that her guess made more sense.
Ren Hong was furious at the moment, and he was starting to manipulate the underground palace organs, intending to kill Dongfang Aofeng and the dragon gods while protecting Lei Xiong and a few other immortals.
"Yun Jia, how much is the promotion of the Qingjiao Sword now?"
"Accumulation is enough, just one chance is missing. ”
"Then you go and kill the seven dragons. The blood of the seven of them is enough for the Qingjiao sword to turn into a dragon. ”
In front of Ren Hong, there was a disc formed by light and shadow, and gossip runes appeared on it. As he continued to click, the runes sank into the dungeon model and turned into deadly mechanisms.
And inside the dungeon, those clay figurines and puppets came to life one after another, and began to attack the nearby fairy dragons indiscriminately.
"Since you dare to come in, then you all die!"
