Chapter 153: Yongdao Palace Lamp

"Bang!" suddenly there was a slight impact in the silent passage. This is a piece of rubble that Wang Zhong threw down.

Although neither of them noticed any danger, for the sake of safety, they still had to throw stones and ask for directions.

After a while, the dim light remained, no change, and no new sound came out.

Wang Zhong and Chen Zhengyi glanced at each other, and then the two fell out of the passage one after another.

This is a road-like building, with paved stone slabs, neatly built, on the walls on both sides, dozens of steps away, there is a strangely shaped palace lamp hanging.

There were still remnants of lamp oil in some of the palace lamps, which were still slowly burning, and the dim yellow light they had seen on them before was emitted by these palace lamps that had not yet been extinguished. And most of the palace lights, the lights in them have been extinguished, so the light in the entire corridor is not very sufficient, and the shadow pupils are a little eerie.

These palace lamps are about a foot high, most of them present a kneeling portrait, hands stretched forward, like a servant who bends his knees to serve the lamp and kneels at the feet of the noble, and the faces of these portraits are also different, although it has been sealed in the dust for a long time in this dark world, but it can still be seen that it was very delicate when it was first made, and the portraits are all vivid, just like a real person.

It's just that the expressions of these portraits are mostly very painful, as if they are not holding a bowl of lamp oil in their hands, but these lamp oils are poured directly into their palms and then ignited.

There was a extinguished palace lamp on the right hand side of Wang Zhong's landing, and he stepped forward to see that the palace lamp had no utensils carved on his hands, only a shallow layer of black powdery substance, which seemed to be the embers left after the lamp oil burned out.

Wang Zhong took a closer look and found that although the shape of this palace lamp is small, the carving is very fine, and the palace people's hands can even see clear palm prints on the sides, so it seems that this palace people really seem to be directly holding the lamp oil in both hands and burning.

Wang Zhong walked to the front of the palace lamp that was still burning and saw that the shallow layer of lamp oil was about to burn out, and the faint light of the fire was swaying and turbulent, but Wang Zhong did not see the wick, only saw that in the floating of the flame, a shallow little grease like things was decreasing a little bit.

"Brother Chen Dao, can you tell what this lamp oil is made of?" Wang Zhong immediately called Chen Zhengyi and asked.

Chen Zhengyi was also observing the environment here at this time, to see if there was any way out here, he only glanced at this palace lamp and did not pay attention to it, after all, it is normal to build such a building and build some ever-bright lanterns next to it.

However, when he heard Wang Zhong's inquiry, it was obvious that this thing was also a little unusual, he walked over and took a closer look, and immediately frowned, and then even got closer and sniffed it, and his face suddenly looked ugly.

"This is not ordinary ever-bright lamp oil, this seems to be human oil!" Chen Zhengyi gasped and said in amazement.

"So cruel?" Wang Zhong was also shocked, he actually used people to boil grease and then use it as lamp oil, which was too cruel and inhumane.

Chen Zhengyi immediately looked tense and said: "This kind of method is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, among the nearby sects, in the past thousand years, only the Tianmu Palace has had such a tragic thing happen, is this a relic of the Tianmu Palace?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengyi seemed to be frightened, and the flying sword covered in silver frost automatically appeared again, hovering around him, adding a touch of silver light to the dim corridor.

When Wang Zhong heard him, he was actually a little excited in his heart, but he didn't expect a landslide to crack the ground, burying the two of them, but it also made people run into a relic mansion of their predecessors, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

However, looking at Chen Zhengyi's appearance, it didn't seem to be a good thing, so he asked strangely: "Tianmu Palace is also a big faction, if you leave the widow, maybe there will be any treasures, why is Daoyou so sensitive, like a great enemy?"

Chen Zhengyi said with some bitterness: "Wang Daoyou, how can there be so many pies in the sky in this world." The ruins of the Heavenly Mother Palace can't be treasured, not to mention, if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Fellow Daoists, have you forgotten the remnants of those strange fierce puppets? After the Tianmeng hastily cleaned up, what was left behind was so difficult, who knows if there is anything more powerful in this ruin, it is better to be cautious. ”

What he said was quite reasonable, but there didn't seem to be any movement near the corridor for the time being, so Wang Zhong wasn't very worried.

After studying here for a while, through the runes carved on the stone slabs at the foot of the occasional mural ruins on the wall, Chen Zhengyi had roughly determined that this should be a relic of the Tianmu Palace, but it was unknown where this passage leads.

"No matter where it leads, we have to explore, after all, there is no way out of it, we can only see if there is a way out here. As soon as Wang Zhonggang finished speaking, Chen Zhengyi immediately said: "Let's go together, I always have a bad premonition." ”

Wang Zhong nodded, and the two of them first explored the passage on the left, where there seemed to be more lights, as the instinct of life, so that they chose the direction of lighter.

The corridor is long and silent, walking in this empty passage, in addition to the footsteps of the two, there is only the sound of the heartbeat of the two people back and forth, from time to time there are lights that are not extinguished, illuminating the road ahead for the two, but the dim light is not enough, sometimes it is not even as good as nothing.

Because when the lights flicker, they will leave a distorted shadow on the wall, which looks strange from a distance.

After walking for about a stick of incense, the two of them roughly passed by about a hundred palace lamps that were still bright, and the corridor finally changed, and the front began to gradually become spacious.

Occasionally, the two sides will be recessed into the inside, revealing some platforms, piers or something, and I don't know what architectural design it is.

Chen Zhengyi stepped forward and probed carefully, and then guessed: "These places should have been guarded before!"

He didn't dare to make a conclusion, because it had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and no traces of human activity had been found.

At this time, Wang Zhong suddenly said next to him: "Go, there seems to be something in front of you!"

Chen Zhengyi was shocked, and hurriedly looked ahead, the lights in front of him suddenly became scarce, except for the fact that there seemed to be some new buildings, he didn't find anything. And in his divine sense, there is no trace of any living creatures.

However, looking at Wang Zhong's solemn eyes, it didn't look like he was lying, and he was a little nervous for a while.

The two of them cautiously walked forward, and sure enough, the corridor gradually disappeared here, revealing in front of them the place that was almost like a palace square, nearly a hundred and ten steps wide, and then several corridors appeared, not knowing where it leads.
