Chapter 17 (8)

When Duoduo saw Platform No. 1 rising, he was both happy and afraid, and secretly thought: "The No. 1 mechanism is actually controlling Platform No. 1, if it had been disrupted and opened in a daze, it would have been difficult to board there, and it would have been a big deal." โ€

In fact, the design of the place is very exquisite, how the platform and the mechanism are matched, and how to connect the iron chain after lifting, all need to go through detailed orientation calculations, or draw a graphical analysis. However, they had been prompted by Mu Qingyan in advance to get the correct order, and this layer of difficulty was self-defeating. Soon, the Qi number mechanism was also opened by Chu Menglin, but this time it was the place where it was rising, leaving the Wu number platform floating alone in the blood pool. The platform and the iron chain are all connected, forming a direct passage to the opposite rock.

The three of them stepped on the platform chain and walked all the way to the gate. The whole door is inlaid with gold and jade, which is extremely gorgeous, and two gold hollow rings hang from the door. Duoduo just wanted to reach out and push the door, but with a turn of thought, he held the ring and tapped on the door three times, and the two doors opened in response, and the scene inside slowly appeared, although the speed was slow, but the suspense was played to the fullest, and it was indeed the Hades Temple.

The young man sighed, "This is truly worthy of death and rebirth." It turned out that Senior Mu's intention was to make us jump into the pool of blood, thanks to my quick decision. Chu Menglin smiled: "Go aside, you should say thanks to me." It was I who discovered the poisonous smoke, dug up the bat's nest, and set fire to blow up the front hall, if I hadn't made the situation dead and alive first, how could I have stimulated you to jump over the wall?"

The young man sneered and said in his heart: "Very good, you have been fooling around, making the situation dead and lifeless, and now you have become a great hero? But you girl is always unreasonable, and I won't fight with you. โ€

Tomb owners of more status often requested that the temple be built roughly the same as the abode before death. However, this place is exactly the same as the emperor's bedroom, except that the bright yellow satin is replaced by gray and white cloth strips, which looks miserable and piercing at a glance.

There are several lifelike stone statues of human beings standing throughout the temple, and dim oil lamps are placed in the corners, the candlelight flickering, transmitting the figures on the walls in a strange twisted shape. There are also several murals on the wall, some of which are pictures of ladies dressed in palace costumes in ancient times, purely for decoration; some of them are several in a row, which seem to have hidden meanings, densely written in many Manchu texts, and occasionally Chinese annotations, which are also rare words and profound meanings.

In the middle there is a waist-high stone platform, on which is placed a silver box, which does not move when it is lifted up, but it is originally embedded in the platform. There is a groove on the lid of the box, which has the same shape as the Broken Soul Tear, and stretches out its fingers to test the depth, which is also the general thickness.

At the end of the temple hung two white curtains, with a palm-wide gap in them, and you could see a row of waist-high low walls, all made of crystal masonry, surrounded on all sides. There are two coffins parked in the wall, the material is made of iceberg cold jade, which can protect the body from decay for thousands of years, and it must be the resting place of Shuerhaqi and Princess Yong'an. Duoduo bowed to the two jade coffins through the curtains, bowed and bowed, and his attitude was extremely respectful.

Chu Menglin stopped in front of the mural and called, "There may be some clues in the painting, do you want to take a look?"

Duoduo thought to himself, "It's not bad to take a casual look." Pacing slowly, he explained: "This is about the attention when entering the hall and leaving, especially at the entrance, if you accidentally touch the broken dragon stone, even if you pass through all the mechanisms of the way, you will be turned into a stone statue after entering the main hall, and from then on serve as the protector of the temple, which is a hidden defense of the tomb." No wonder there are so many stone statues around, except for ......" Chu Menglin was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "Broken Dragon Stone, is it the stone pillar at the entrance? But I don't ...... either"

Duoduo didn't answer, turned around and turned back to the stone platform and circled, continuing the interrupted train of thought in his heart: "Except for those who have the blood of the royal family, they can be regarded as legitimate heirs after being verified by the Broken Dragon Stone...... Before, she was able to unlock the 'blood protection' sealed on the drawing, and I was already doubting her bloodline. What is the origin of this girl? Does she really not know or is she deliberately trying to deceive me?"

Chu Menglin stood beside him, trembling vigorously, guessing that although he had not turned into a stone statue at present, it was just that the time had not yet come, and he would still have to change when the time came. Psychological suggestion has a strong effect on people, and it doesn't take long to feel stiffness and numbness in both legs, and it seems that they are gradually losing consciousness. I heard a few "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds in my ears, and the secret weapon broke through the air, and I just felt a gust of wind passing by my cheeks, and the oil lamps in the four corners of the temple suddenly went out together.

Chu Menglin's heart was broken, she stumbled a few steps, stretched out her arms and touched in front of her, she couldn't tell where she was going, she felt that her left hand touched something in the darkness, and she hurriedly put her right hand together, and climbed and groped up with both hands, the thing trembled, it was actually a living thing. Chu Menglin thought it was a big animal imprisoned in the Hades Temple, so she took a few steps back and held down the hilt of her sword to be on guard.

At this time, an oil lamp was lit on the left, and the light was faint, but it was enough to illuminate the outline of the object's body, and it turned out to be the young man. Chu Menglin breathed a sigh of relief, was extremely happy and annoyed, and punched him hard in the arm, and said angrily: "What are you doing? It turned out to be you, it scared me a lot!"

The man said sadly, "It's not me. His voice was very old, very different from the oily tone of his usual jokes. After speaking, he slowly raised the oil lamp, and his arms were like zombies, always straight and not bent. Chu Menglin was puzzled by the meaning of his words, and when the oil lamp was brought to a shoulder-high place, he found that it was abnormal, only to see that his neck and upper skin were yellow, covered with age marks, furrow-like wrinkles, and his face could not be seen clearly, and it was expected to be the same condition, as if he had aged for decades in an instant.

Chu Menglin's first reaction was not to scream, but hurriedly raised her hand to touch her face, worried that there was some kind of radioactive substance in this underworld that could detract from the life span of human beings, but fortunately, her face was still smooth and delicate from the touch. Only then did he let go of most of his heart, and he mustered up the courage to ask, "Who are you?"

The man laughed in a hoarse voice, and said, "People, hehe, I'm not a person! You may not remember me, but I have known you for the rest of my life, and you will be reduced to ashes, and I will not forget you. On our side, everyone has sworn that as long as you live for a day, you will always be by your side and escort. โ€

Chu Menglin listened to his strange tone, inexplicably flustered, and raised her voice: "You...... Who the hell are you?" the man sneered, "Who am I?" well, that's an interesting question. There are so many people who have been overtaken by you, and you will never remember who your name is. But since you have asked a question, and the time interval between receiving the favor is still short, the old man will remind you: There is an innocent old gentleman who has nothing to do with you, but you killed him, and the motive was only to kill him for money, is there such a thing?"

Chu Menglin said in her heart: "Old man, could it be that you mean Deshou?" recalled that in the past few days, he had followed Duoduo's arrangement, tossed and turned in carriages and inns, and there were very few opportunities to show up, and he had never been in contact with outsiders. Thinking of his greedy face with his back bent and reaching out to ask for money, he pursed his lips and sneered: "So what? That old immortal will sleep on the coffin board sooner or later, and die early and die a few days later, what's the difference?"

The man let out a heavy "snort" from his nostrils, and said, "Very good!" Then he slowly turned around and said, word for word, "I am the old gentleman." The oil lamp in his hand continued to be high, flat on his neck, his chin was lowered and pressed against the collar, his eyes turned upwards when he looked at people, a pair of pupils were more white and less black, and the oil lamp reflected his face from the bottom up, casting a shaking shadow, which was even more gloomy, and it was indeed Deshou's face. From the forehead, to the ears and face, and then to the neck, there are wisps of blood, which have long coagulated, but they are still miserable.

Chu Menglin was secretly suspicious: "Deshou is ugly enough, and I don't want to disfigure his appearance, how can there be blood stains on his face?"

The man continued coldly: "Every person you killed, if they have a strong grudge before they die, they will have accumulated consciousness remnants, attach them to your sword, and then move to the palm of your hand, and follow you at all times, which is called 'blood evil'. With the growth of time, the yang energy of the land is vigorous, and the strength of the unjust ghosts and ghosts according to the law may gradually dissipate. But you've only been committing a taboo for a few days, and you've come to the place where the yin qi is the heaviest in the world to mess around, aren't you impatient?"

Chu Menglin frowned and said: "So, Old Man De, do you borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, or come back from the dead?" The man said: "How easy is it to come back from the dead? โ€

Chu Menglin was originally extremely frightened, but suddenly her mind lit up, and she said in her heart: "You said that you didn't come back from the dead, but you thought that your soul was possessed, but this physical body is not yours, how can it become your appearance? I don't believe that you have such great power, what should other ghosts do if they want to show up and speak? Could it be that he also uses Deshou's face? He has also become the boss of a group of ghosts? It is obvious that he is wearing a human skin mask and wants to scare me, hum, being smart is mistaken by being smart." Thinking that the young man usually has a rigid face and a scarce expression, maybe he has already disguised himself, and the modification is nothing more than to hide his identity. If you need to cover it up, you must have an impression of it.

meditated on the familiar people around him, and pondered: "Among the people I know, the only one who is so good at playing poor is the kid Lu Qian of the Kunlun faction. But didn't he fall off a cliff and die? Well, the news from hearsay cannot be trusted...... The stinky boy played with a big knife in front of the door and played with his aunt and grandmother, and he didn't want to think about who taught him this trick. "I remember that when I was at the Heroes Conference, I taught him to pretend to be possessed by the "Kunlun Shuangxia", and to take the opportunity to lure the head of Kongtong into a trap, and later he also saved Nangong Xue in this way.

The man saw that she didn't answer for a long time, just thinking that she was scared stupid, how could he think that more than a dozen thoughts were turning in her mind. In order to frighten her more thoroughly, he raised his head again, his knees trembled, his arms waved in front of his face, and he opened his mouth to let out a long howl of "whoa-".

Chu Menglin looked at his monster appearance, not only was he not afraid, but he felt very ridiculous, and tried his best to hold back, and said, "You said that there are other friends who are with you at all times, can you borrow this body again and let me see it?" The man said coldly: "Yes." Raising his hand and swiping it on his face, he immediately showed a blackened face, and said hatefully: "I am the owner of the Shadowless Mountain Villa, and the Shen clan is the Emperor of Xiaokong! You will never be able to pay for the lives of the people in the villa, and you will never be able to pay offโ€”"

Chu Menglin said with a smile: "Yes, everyone in Shadowless Villa wants me to pay for their lives, if you kill me, I will pay for your life with you, if you don't owe each other, other people's lives can't be compensated, won't they die in vain?" โ€

The "Shen Xiaokong" shouted, raised his hand, and turned into a man with a broken face, and said in a different voice: "Demon girl, I am a Jiangnan clan, I was originally born as a martial artist, I will not change my name, I will not change my surname, and I will not change my surname, and Qi Zhenlei, the head of the Qi sect, is also." You coveted the ancestral 'Dragon and Tiger Overlord Fist' boxing spectrum of the Wu Qi family, and killed dozens of people in my family, even the slave groom. So he scolded you for me, 'This woman is so vicious, and her heart is like a snake and scorpion!' and you pointed at my acupoint, so that I could not move, but while I was still conscious, he cut my face to shreds with a knife, and made me look like a person who is not a human being, a ghost, and a ghost, and I am ......also isolated as a ghost."
