Chapter 157

When the head of the man in black fell to the ground, his mask was not taken off, perhaps, Ximen Wang did not want to see the real face of this man.

Of course, maybe he already knew.

The entire body of the man in black seemed to be still holding on, and the headless corpse slowly fell.

The soldiers guarding are always the last to know what happened, the bell outside the mansion rang, this is the highest order of Wuxian Town, and a group of soldiers frantically poured into the Great General's Mansion.

When the wooden door of the room opened, General Ximen Wang was already wearing heavy armor, and he was not at all dressed in plain clothes.

At this time, whether it was the guards who checked the corpses or the soldiers who dared to come in a hurry, they all stood straight and straight in the middle of the small courtyard, and the outside of the house was surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the house.

At this time, he thought that the sergeant slowly came to Ximen Wang, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, "See the general, the subordinates are guilty." ”

Ximen Wang smiled coldly, then took a step forward without any expression, and helped the sergeant up with one hand, "Pan An, what is this for? You didn't find out that this is normal, because this is what I want, if you find out, it will ruin the plan." ”

Looking at Ximen Wang's military boots, Pan An's original fear in his heart faded slightly, "General, the two guests from Beiqiang have just arrived in ......."

"Then let them wait. ”

Ximen Wang said coldly.

At this time, the armor on his body still looked extraordinarily shiny in the hazy light, which made the people below feel a certain relief and relief.

He is one of the few great generals in this empire, and his high position naturally goes without saying, just the rumor of killing people without blinking is enough to make the people below frightened.

Unlike several other great generals, Ximen Wang and An Boyuan were special cases, not only did they have quite achievements in commanding the army, but they also had a lot of research on the way of cultivation, and they were almost no different from the disciples of various sects.

He is a great cultivator, and with his fierce and extremely vicious personality, he is definitely a nightmare for others.

"Well, let's let those two guests come here in a minute, this is it. ”

Ximen Wang said softly, "Also, there is no need to clean up that corpse first, just as I give the guest a meeting gift, let's go." ”

With that, Simon turned and went into the house as if nothing had happened.

In a few breaths, the soldiers hurriedly left the General's Mansion, and a moment later, even the guests from Beiqiang came to the solemn General's Mansion with heavy packages on their backs.

When they stumbled upon the headless corpse on the side, their scalps tingled.

"Uncle, this person is really, really ......"

The young Qiang man stuttered for a while, completely without the disdain he had before.

......

Thousands of miles away in the Heavenly Volcano, Xiao Leng and the four of them were walking forward quickly, and everything that had just happened made them have to find Xu Chen's whereabouts.

They had understood that this was not a cave at all, but a cemetery built on the cave, a dragon's burial ground.

At this time, Pan An, who was the most timid, suddenly came to the old man with courage, swallowed his saliva and asked, "That, old man, old man, does this thing of yours really work?"

"I said, in fact, I don't know very well, who can say exactly what looks like in ancient books?"

As he spoke, the old man began to pack his things.

Pan An was anxious when he heard this, he raised his trembling finger and pointed at the coffin and said, "Maybe I can't tell you, maybe we have to go in again? If this thing crawls out, then, won't we really be able to get out......?"

"Shut up!"

Before Pan An could finish speaking, the old man directly knocked down his arm pointing to the coffin with his hand, "Don't you want to live?" The dragon is a vicious fetish, and the dragon corpse is even more ferocious, if it really wakes up, then we really don't want to go out, don't make a sound, don't touch anything, we may be able to escape this catastrophe in such a quiet past." ”

After speaking, the old man muttered at the stone slab again, as if he was apologizing or repenting, and I don't know if the person inside could really understand what he was saying.

Being scolded by the old man like this, Pan An stopped talking, for fear that he had done something wrong, and the lord inside directly got up angrily and asked for his life.

To be honest, at this time everyone was not sure that the old man's method must be useful, but they had to go on, because of duty, because of obligation, and of course, maybe a little bit of perverted curiosity.

After a while, the old man walked to the door of the tomb, followed by Pan An, and Xiao Leng chose to be behind.

A few people continued to move forward, it was still dark here, and everyone held the light of the weapon to the maximum, although this would seriously affect the aura in the body, but this could dispel a little fear.

The walls of the cave began to show all kinds of strange patterns, and there were some hard-to-read texts, and what really surprised these people was that although they couldn't really understand the characters, they knew that there were so many types of texts that it was a literal museum.

With the lessons of the past, everyone walked very carefully, and if they didn't really see the situation ahead, they would never take that step easily.

The cave is bottomless and looks like a hell walk, but the patterns and words on the walls on both sides are uninterrupted, and it is continuous, as if it is telling some kind of history, but these people cannot read it at this time.

The old man stepped forward from time to time, and then gently touched the carved lines of these characters with his two fingers, which should be judging the age of these words.

Every time he observed and judged, he would make a tsk sound, like surprise and distress, which made Xiao Leng, who was ranked fourth, look at it with some curiosity, but now the cave is very quiet, except for the friction sound under his feet, it is the sound of subtle breathing, so Xiao Leng is not embarrassed to break this tranquility, just keep watching, and follow the team slowly forward.

Finally, Pan An, who had the same heart as him, suddenly stepped forward and said to the old man: "Old man, why do you always hesitate, is there anything strange about these words?"

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly as he walked forward, the feeling was like self-deprecation, "I have read a lot of books, and I have been down to many ancient tombs, but I have never seen such strange ornaments, they are naturally very ancient, according to my experience, some can even be traced back to before Yin Shang, and they are much earlier." However, the time span of their codification is quite long. ”

As he spoke, he casually pointed to a small piece of extremely cramped text carved on the wall and said, "You see, this small piece of text and these next to it are obviously not the same kind of text, and it must have been engraved later, in order to save space, or to be able to engrave these words, its size is obviously much smaller than the others, and looking at the arrangement of its words, it is obviously carved along the shape of the gap left by the previous text." ”

"This shows ......"

Although Pan An was a little less courageous, he was naturally not a mediocre person when he was able to choose this team, and he understood the old man's meaning in an instant.

The old man nodded slightly, "Yes, if my judgment is correct, the time experienced by this ancient tomb is probably beyond human imagination, and someone must have entered it." Of course, there is another possibility. ”

"What is possible?"

Pan An leaned over and asked, his eyes full of vigilance, as if the words of the other party could convey a kind of fear.

At this time, the cold snow behind him was also staring at the old man, waiting for the final answer to the riddle.

The old man then shook his head, as if he still didn't dare to conclude his guess, but in the end, he still said, "Or maybe there are people alive in this ancient tomb, and they are the ones who carved the words after this, and they are definitely not the only one who just now." ”

Everyone's pace slowed down again, even slower than before, probably because of the old man's words that made people feel some kind of unknown unease.

Suddenly, the sound of an object rolling under his feet spread throughout the tombway, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

Xiao Leng's reaction was even faster, and he walked vigilantly to the front of the old man, holding a heavy sword in his hand.

At this time, Leng Xue in front of Pan An said softly: "I, I seem to have kicked something just now." ”

At the final convergence point of the four pairs of eyes, a black short knife appeared, according to the old man, it was something that only Beiqiang would have, and what made everyone feel terrible was that the short knife was stained with blood, it was dim at this time, but it was more dazzling than any glowing object.

But fortunately, this time I finally saw the object that made the sound, otherwise these people would have been frightened and panicked again.

Everyone quickened their pace and walked straight over, of course, at this time, everyone was alert, because they didn't know if there would be a corpse in front of them, or a murderer with blue faces and fangs.

With the reminder of this short knife, everyone understood that the place of the incident should be not far ahead, so although everyone's heart was in their throats, the pace under their feet was getting faster and faster, because as long as they found those people, they would be able to leave here as soon as possible, even if they completed this mission.

No one looked at the words on the wall anymore, and they all continued to move forward at the speed of shopping on weekdays, this time it was Xiao Leng who opened the way, and his mood seemed to be more eager than anyone else.

Finally, after walking a little longer, they saw a large stone gate, which was now open, and it must have been entered.

It was a stone gate with an upper and lower structure, just like the broken dragon stone often mentioned in ancient books, because it had risen, so no one knew what it really looked like, but when they walked into the tomb, everyone looked upwards in unison, and the huge stone door was suspended in the air, sandwiched in the hollow wall.

According to the old man's understanding, this should be a mercury-driven mechanism, which is opened or closed by the pressure generated by mercury, and such an ingenious design makes everyone secretly admire the wisdom of the ancients.

However, just as everyone was amazed at the stone gate, Xiao Leng let out his first exclamation when he entered the ancient tomb, "How can there be so many coffins!"

It is difficult for a flashlight to illuminate the situation ahead, and when Xiao Leng screamed, everyone looked at the deepest part of the front of the tomb, and only then did they really see what Xiao Leng said.

It was a wall, but it was not an ordinary wall, it was a wall made of dense coffins, and each sarcophagus had unfinished rounded corners, maintaining its original angular state.

It's just that there are too many of these sarcophagi, and if there are patients with dense phobias, they will definitely stop eating on the spot. The sarcophagus is very neat, there are thirteen in the horizontal area, and seven in height up and down, although there is still some distance from the top of the tomb, but there is no gap between the coffins. As long as you graduate from elementary school, you can know how many coffins this is.

When everyone approached, they found that all the coffins were engraved with words on the sides, which were different from the previous ones, although most of them were still heavenly books.

But there are some that a few people can understand, such as Ji, Di Xin, Ying Zheng, Zhu Wen, Gao Yang......

Every name that comes to mind makes people tremble, because these names represent death and fear.

Just when everyone was shocked and confused, they only heard Pan An suddenly scream.

"Look, that, that coffin lid is...... Opened!"
