Chapter 948: Strange Stories in the Netherworld (14)
The book was picked up, and it was said that Chu Xunyu and his party were trapped in front of the gate on the second floor of the Golden City, only a huge bronze mirror was blocked in front of them, this bronze mirror was several zhang square, and it was tightly blocked, but unexpectedly, Mu Yuan inadvertently glanced at it, but in exchange for his own reflection to himself, the smile was particularly abrupt under the fire in the dark, Mu Yuan was shocked, and he exclaimed that he was going to burn this thing with Buddha light, thinking that this must be some kind of evil thing.
But Dao Yuxin took his hand, looked at it with a frown, and said, "Don't panic, if you destroy this bronze mirror, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in." ”
Everyone didn't understand the meaning of these words, and Dao Yuxin looked back at the huge cauldron: "This pot must have something to do with the mirror, and Yan'er is right, the Mingdian Sect Master has lit the cauldron, this is the key, we should follow it." ”
Chu Xunyu also thought about this problem, in fact, no one knew the role of the big bronze mirror in front of him, this bronze mirror was more than ten zhang in size, like a hill standing here, even if the copper smelting civilization of the Golden City was developed, it was impossible to pour a bronze mirror of such a large scale at the entrance, God knows what Zhuang Ji was thinking in his head, but one thing is certain, going to the second layer is just such an entrance, the Mingdian Sect Master lit the kettle must have touched some mechanism for people to enter, and the Mingdian Sect Master also came out alive, then this road must be safe。
Everyone agreed with this reasoning, after all, there was a Mingdian sect leader who was the first crab, and the series of footprints he left on the edge of the kettle mouth showed that he was also very puzzling at the time, and he should have seriously thought about this problem, so it shouldn't be too bad, so they all agreed to set this kettle on fire to see what kind of ghost hall there was. Chu Xunyu carried the long sword down, Mu Yuan followed behind, and asked curiously: "Yelangzhong, here are all bronze pouring big cities, where is there wood to burn?"
Chu Xunyu couldn't figure it out, so he came to the pile of black things that the Mingdian Sect Master had lit in the past, and plunged it open with a long sword to take a closer look, but Mu Yuan almost vomited again, because it was not recognized from the residue that had not yet been burned, this was not firewood at all, but the rotten wreckage that could be seen everywhere around, and they were piled together and burned with fire oil. It's reasonable to think about it now, who can still think of setting up a pot to cook rice when they enter the Golden City? Driving a carriage to bring in a cart of firewood? I had to take local materials, and the Mingdian Sect Master must have been helpless, and carried a dried corpse from the surroundings, so there was no way, everyone had to do it, and the five people pulled their arms and sleeves together, and dragged the corpse back from nearby, fortunately, the corpse occupied by Kuang Po was very easy to recognize, they were all wet, as long as they were careful to identify.
After a while, a small mountain of corpses was piled up, and Forget Chen threw the last corpse on it with all his strength, and then took out a pot of fire oil and dumped it on it, Chu Xunyu had already climbed to the edge of the pot and stood, he was flexible with his hands and feet, easy to go up and down, and could monitor the changes in the pot at any time, Mu Yuan gestured below, Chu Xunyu held a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other and nodded, Mu Yuan motioned for everyone to stand farther away, threw the torch in his hand in, "flutter" With a bang, the fire raged, licking the bottom of the pot happily, everyone hurriedly alerted the surroundings, and Chu Xunyu stared at the pot without blinking, to see what was famous in it.
After all, this kettle is too big, and it won't burn well for a while, and after about a cup of tea, there is finally movement, and at first there is a "crackle" sound, Chu Xunyu estimated that this was not a big problem, to put it bluntly, this is to put people in the pot to fry, and the reason is the same as stir-frying in the pot at home, Chu Xunyu even looked very vulgar to see if there was a big bronze shovel around, and wanted to carry it and turn over the pot, but not long after, something was wrong in the pot, those corpses were a little trembling, Chu Xunyu began to think that he was dazzled, and the dried corpses that had been dead for so many years could still move? But gradually it was wrong, these corpses seemed to be scalded by the flames at the bottom of the pot and reached out to the side of the pot one by one, Chu Xunyu took two steps back, retreated to the edge, and stared at the long sword horizontally, it was unbelievable, those corpses were already hideous, and they all made a crackling sound of skin and flesh being boiled in the pot, as if they were shouting something in pain, but unfortunately the flesh had long been destroyed, and there was no sound, so they could only shout silently in the dark, as the cooking corpses became longer and longer, bursts of heat were emitted, and these low hot gases were actually the same color as the fog that enveloped the entire Golden City, Chu Xunyu was surprised to think of how many lives Zhuang Ji had boiled to make the old madman what he was like now.
"Look!" Miao Buyan exclaimed in surprise below, everyone's eyes followed her fingers, it turned out that after the heat of cooking human beings floated to the top of the bronze mirror, they turned into arms waving on the mirror intentionally or unintentionally, this is the secret, Chu Xunyu jumped directly from the side of the pot and stepped up, the first one rushed over, and the others followed, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they came closer.
It turned out that they saw the smoke on the mirror turned into countless looming human reflections, they wandered in the mirror, stretched out their hands outside the mirror, some of these people were weird, some were painful, some were angry, men, women and children, all of them were bound by the invisible chains made of smoke. At this time, when everyone was at a loss, it was still Dao Yuxin's art master who was bold, trying to reach over, and let these ghosts hold their arms and drag them in, but unexpectedly Dao Yuxin's arm actually stretched into the mirror, this is everyone was surprised, this mechanism shows the subtlety of the ancient Dian Kingdom cup master's means, they can actually combine the cup technique to show the art of space, this bronze mirror is actually to separate another world, it turns out that you need to use these ghosts to enter the second layer.
However, Chu Xunyu still found a problem, he was keenly aware that something was wrong, he pointed to these ghosts and said, "Bajie, do you see that the problem is coming? These people ...... These people wore Hanfu. ”
"Huh?" Chu Xunyu said this, and everyone noticed that these ghosts were wearing Han clothes, where did the Han people come from in the Golden City? The answer is self-evident, Mu Yuan turned around and couldn't bear to say, "They ...... Are they the people of ......'Mi' family?"
Chu Xunyu nodded heavily, and looked back at the cauldron: "It should be them, I said why I have planned for so long, all kinds of escape routes have been prepared but none of them have run away, it is estimated that their plan has been exposed, the East Window Incident, after being discovered by Zhuang Ji, he took the lead in arresting all the men, women and children of their family, and then threw them into the cauldron and boiled them one by one, and finally imprisoned their souls here and made this organ." ”
"This time, it's really even the pot. Mu Yuan shook his head stupidly, "Zhuang Ji's madman is really crazy. ”
"Let's go, don't bother, after all, time is limited, otherwise the fire will be rekindled. Dao Yuxin reminded as usual, and everyone hurriedly and cautiously reached over, letting those ghosts drag themselves, only to feel a cold force pulling people in, and everyone was slowly walked into this big bronze mirror......
