Chapter 101: Love Tomb
It was not until sunset that Li Bochen climbed a rock wall. There was a platform above, he threw Sui Ziang up first, fell him "ah", and then jumped up himself.
It was the third mountain he had found, and he felt he had found the right one. The rumors about the first two are that there are foxes and fairies in the mountain, and about this one, it is said that there are spirits and gods living in seclusion, and woodcutters and hunters will always get lost when they reach the vicinity of this mountain, and they have to turn around for a long time before they can get out.
And when he stood on the platform and watched, he could see a crack in the cliff wall that was more than a man wide, as if it had been cut out with an axe. There are trees in front of this crevice, and it is difficult to find this entrance during the foliage season. And when you look at the tree, it doesn't look like it's wild, but it looks like it was planted a long, long time ago.
He didn't rush in, but split a branch, tore a piece of clothing from Sui Ziang's body, and wrapped some twigs around one end of the branch. Then drill wood to make a fire and light this simple torch near the entrance.
At this time, there was only a glimmer of afterglow in the sky, and the mountains had become dark, and there was a faint howl of beasts. Sui Ziang was carried by him for most of the day, his hands and feet were numb, and he hurriedly said after listening to the voice: "General Li, don't leave me here." ”
Li Bochen was also tired and hungry, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He dragged him and the horse's legs to the entrance, gagged him with his clothes, and said, "Sui Ziang, you are waiting for me here." You can try to run if you have the chance, but if you run and get caught by me, you'll be dead. ”
Then he took the torch and went inside.
From the outside, the crack in the stone is not wide, but after walking a dozen steps, the road is not so cramped. Although the two sides are naturally formed stone walls, they are relatively smooth. This level of polish does not seem to be natural, but has been worn over the years. He was overjoyed and felt that he had finally found the right place.
After walking a few dozen steps, Sui Ziang's "woo" cry outside was no longer audible, and he saw inscriptions on the stone walls on both sides by the light of the fire. He hurriedly stopped and took a look, and found that it was engraved with the incantation of the Six Evils and One Pulse Determination. But in his opinion, although this incantation was more advanced than what he had cultivated in the army, it was not as good as the Beichen Heart Determination that Li Ding gave him.
This should be a sectarian technique of the Six Blasphemy and One Line, looking at those marks, I don't know how long ago they were carved. He continued to follow these incantations with a torch, and after six or seven paces he turned a corner, and suddenly his eyes became clear.
But instead of light, darkness swept across the face. The light from his torches could only illuminate a small space, and he didn't know how big it was. He gave the torch to his left hand and pulled out the Queen.
There is a thick layer of ash on the ground, but the ground is extremely flat, and it is undoubtedly a stone chamber that has been carved out. He chose one side of the wall and walked closely, and sure enough, he saw a lamp niche carved out of the stone wall. There was an oil lamp in the niche, which was also dusty.
After walking five or six steps further, I suddenly saw a grimace in front of me. This face was like a skeleton, with a mantle, and a brown complexion, Li Bochen was startled, and he swung his knife in front of him, and took two steps back.
But when he stood firm, he didn't see anyone attacking, and he didn't hear any sound. His heart moved, and he slowly brought the torch forward, and found that it was indeed a dried corpse.
It was a dried corpse meditating cross-legged, still clothed. But I don't know how long it was, and the garments withered. Looking at its figure again, it seems to be a man before his death. Li Bochen saw that something flashed in his arms again, so he removed the torch and found that it was a hairpin.
It was a blonde hairpin, covered in ash, but still showing a little bright color. In addition to this hairpin, there seem to be some women's accessories such as rings and earrings. There was also ash in the bosom of the dried corpse, and these things were buried in the ashes, and it was impossible to see how many.
On the wall behind him, leaning against a glittering iron sword. The ashes fell on the corpse, but there was no one on the sword, and at a glance it was not a mortal thing.
Is this man the cave owner? But why did he bring all this jewelry?
He was suspicious, but when he saw that the corpse was leaning against the stone wall, he slowly leaned the torch to the side. This time I looked, and I saw that there was a dried corpse two or three steps away. It looks like a man, meditating. Look into his arms, there are still some women's ornaments. But in addition to these, there are several small foxes carved in stone.
Li Bochen was stunned, and a thought came to his heart, so he continued to walk along the stone wall until the end.
The stone chamber was about thirty paces long and thirty paces wide, and when he walked over it in thirty steps, he saw nine dried corpses meditating against the wall, and there were also some gadgets in his arms, which seemed to be mostly liked by women. And on the wall behind them, there were also their own weapons, knives and swords, and the only one that was not a weapon was a pair of armor.
He thought for a moment and realized that these people were not the cave masters here.
It should be the person that Zhang Shanjun once loved. Here, it's a love mound.
Because in the bosom of the eighth dried corpse there is a gold medal, although it is covered with ashes, the words engraved on the card are clearly visible: May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean. This is clearly a love poem.
And although these dried corpses look terrifying, before they die, the expression on their faces should be extremely peaceful and serene. If someone kills someone and carries it here, it should never be like this.
And the ornaments of the women in their bosoms...... It must have been given to Zhangshanjun by them in the past, right?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Bochen felt a chill on his body. But as soon as the thought turned, his heart suddenly felt a little sour - Zhang Shanjun claimed to have attained the Tao for more than 1,400 years.
If she had only had a relationship with Ye Chengchou and these nine dried corpses for more than 1,400 years, it really couldn't be regarded as an abusive relationship. When he looked at the clothes of these people, he knew that they were not of the same era, but hundreds of years apart. After these people died, the mountain monarch kept their relics and bodies in this stone room, which can be regarded as a kind of sacrifice.
Although it looks weird and crazy...... But the genus of the mountain monarch is not human after all.
In this way, Li Bochen didn't feel that this stone room was eerie and terrifying. He stepped back and saluted the nine dried corpses and said, "Seniors, please forgive me for your trouble." ”
He lit up the room with torches, and saw that there were many incantations carved into the stone walls. Previously, there were six desecrations and one vein in the passage, and there were Taisu and Antarctic one veins in the room, but the realm was not high, only to the dragon and tiger realm.
After looking for it again, he found a "Yin Fu Emperor Sutra" - this should be the method that the Mountain Monarch allowed him to refine the Yin soldiers. Knowing that Shanjun did not break his promise, Li Bochen was relieved. He was not in a hurry to memorize the incantation, but went out again with a torch.
Sui Ziang didn't run, but was still lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied. Li Bochen lifted him up, walked into the stone path and put it down for more than a dozen steps. And he chopped some branches at the entrance of the cave, and put them in the stone path, and lit a bonfire with torches.
Then he cut the horse's flesh, put it on the fire with a branch, and then pulled out the clothes that Sui Ziang was stuffing in his mouth: "It seems that you have to stay here with me for a few more days." ”
