Chapter 42: The Strange Palace
The palace walls oozed blood, and there were even ghost-like palace maids who appeared and disappeared in the passage.
Since the chaos of heaven and earth, Lin Muzhi has experienced a lot from Wansui Mountain all the way to the capital, and the monsters and beasts that he has killed under his command can almost fill a huge warehouse.
But this kind of eerie ghost, Lin Muzhi has really never seen it.
For the cognition of these ghosts, Lin Muzhi is at most in the horror movies of the past.
"Hallucinations, they must all be hallucinations!"
The gloomy aura became thicker and thicker, and Lin Muzhi almost exerted all the means he could use, but he still couldn't cause any movement in this passage.
On the contrary, the little blood that continued to ooze from the palace wall gradually gathered together, like a small snake that twisted and twisted, along the palace wall, constantly converging on the ground.
"Snort!"
The halberd made of the special alloy of the military region was like a candle scorched by flames, and it came into contact with the blood on the ground, and quickly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down from Lin Muzhi's forehead, fortunately, he tested it with the weapon in his hand, if he really regarded this thing as an illusion, I am afraid that after a long time, he would not even know how he died.
More and more blood flowed down the palace wall, and Lin Muzhi instinctively wanted to leave this position, but just when Lin Muzhi raised his head and was about to walk forward, he saw that directly in front of him, whether it was the palace wall or the ground, it was all covered with blood, and it was still spreading at a slow speed, constantly spreading in the direction where he was.
"Childe go this way!"
Just when Lin Muzhi's scalp was a little numb, behind Lin Muzhi, a faint voice sounded in Lin Muzhi's ears so weirdly.
The palace maid who disappeared before appeared in the thick fog again, and she didn't look back, just leaving Lin Muzhi with a black-haired back.
Blood paves the ground, and female ghosts lead the way.
Lin Muzhi couldn't help but shudder, but in this situation where he had no choice, he could only follow the palace maid ghost quickly.
In the place where the palace maid walked, the red blood on the ground, as if frightened by something, retreated one after another, leaving a narrow path in the middle of the passage.
Lin Muzhi followed behind the ghost of the palace maid, watching the ghost of the palace maid in front of him walk slowly in the passage silently, but unconsciously, he suddenly found that he didn't know when, he had actually come to the front of a huge and magnificent palace.
And around him, there was a famous palace maid silently floating in the direction of the palace, behind each palace maid, there was a human who entered the palace from the outside world like herself, looking at the back of the palace maid's ghost in a daze, and followed towards the huge palace like a walking corpse.
With just a cursory glance, Lin Muzhi had already discovered that on the open space in front of the entire palace, there were at least seventy or eighty human beings who were attracted by the ghosts of those palace maids.
The only difference is that in such a large crowd, it seems that only one of them is awake, while the others are all empty as if their souls have disappeared.
Instinctively, Lin Muzhi wanted to roar and wake up all the people who were attracted by the ghost of the palace maid.
However, just when Lin Muzhi's qi moved slightly, Lin Muzhi saw that the palace maid in front of him had turned around abruptly, with blood-red eyes and a pale face like a dead person, staring at him in a dead silence.
Cold sweat burst out, Lin Muzhi retreated suddenly, but suddenly found that around him, I don't know how many dead and silent palace maid ghosts were surrounded, except for the difference in appearance, whether it was bloody eyes or pale faces, it made people feel a cold breath in their hearts.
At the same time, along with the extension of fear in Lin Muzhi's heart, Lin Muzhi felt extremely keenly that there was an extremely strange power on the body of the palace maid ghost in front of him, which actually entered his mind along the invisible fear that overflowed from his body.
Cold as a needle, as soon as this power entered Lin Muzhi's mind, it was entangled, sweeping towards Lin Muzhi's soul.
Lin Muzhi didn't believe that this kind of cold and strange power was trying to be a soul horse for himself, on the contrary, the kind of cold air machine emanating from that strange power was more heart-palpitating than any fierce beast or demon beast Lin Muzhi had ever seen, as if it was the breath of the dead that stretched out from the Nine Hells.
This cold and strange power is not powerful, but Lin Muzhi has no doubt that once his soul is entwined by this power, what awaits him is only eternal death and silence.
"Quell the chaos!"
It was just a millionth of an instant, a time for his mind to turn, and Lin Muzhi did not hesitate to show his greatest gain in the Heart Demon Tribulation.
The strange power swept through Lin Muzhi's mind like a match, and under the blessing of the Chaos Trick, Lin Muzhi's entire soul turned into a shield, perfectly fused with his own sea of knowledge.
The strange power paused slightly, as if it was a little confused, but after the strange power swept away from Lin Muzhi's mind a few times again, it gradually withdrew from Lin Muzhi's mind.
When the strange power disappeared completely, Lin Muzhi saw that the ghost of the palace maid in front of him slowly turned around, and the ghosts that were originally around Lin Muzhi gradually returned to their respective positions, and once again drifted silently in the direction of the palace.
Lin Muzhi endured the almost suffocating feeling of fear in his heart, and did not dare to move, following behind the palace maid ghost, moving forward mechanically.
A palace maid ghost is still so fierce and terrifying, if he dares to resist just now, I am afraid that the nearly 100 palace maid ghosts in front of the entire palace will be able to unite in an instant and destroy their souls without even slag.
Soon, under the leadership of the palace maid's ghost, the huge palace, which was originally hidden in the endless yin mist, gradually became clear.
The huge palace is bright red, not the vermilion inherent in the palace, but the scarlet like the blood flowing from the human body, the plaque on the original palace has been corroded and tattered, and the carvings of the beasts on the eaves of the corners seem to come to life.
Before walking to the gate of the palace, the original palace maids and ghosts quickly stopped completely, and the many people who followed behind the ghosts also stood in place.
The situation was strange and dangerous, Lin Muzhi didn't dare to make other moves, so he could only pretend to be like he had lost his soul, and he also stood in the crowd.
Just when Lin Muzhi's mind kept making up for the various possibilities that would happen next, to Lin Muzhi's surprise, the various beast stone carvings on the roof of the palace jumped down from mid-air, their eyes flashed with scarlet blood, and they opened their mouths one by one, sucking those palace maid ghosts into their stomachs.
When all the palace maids disappeared, the stone carvings of those scarlet beasts jumped up with great satisfaction, and stood on the roof of the palace again, standing still one by one.
Immediately after, except for the slight breathing of people like walking corpses, the entire palace fell into a dead silence again.
For nearly half an hour, Lin Mu's heart was as chaotic as grass.
"Squeak ......"
The closed doors of the palace finally let out an old and heart-chilling creak.
Soon, a man in a black robe walked out of the palace, with a white beard and a long body, and behind his head, there was a waist-length braid, which looked like a eunuch.
Unlike those palace maids and ghosts, Lin Muzhi could clearly see the steps of the eunuch man under his robes, and between his steps, every step would make an extremely dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuch man came to the crowd in front of the palace gate with a blank face, just like a human being selects various ingredients in the market, wandering slightly in the crowd, and soon came to a burly man.
"Whew!"
The sound of the blade penetrating into the flesh was extremely clear around the dead palace, and through a figure, Lin Muzhi could only see that on the eunuch man's hands, the black and translucent nails were more than three inches long, like extremely sharp daggers, scratching on the burly man's chest.
In a short time, a palace maid wearing a gorgeous cheongsam walked out of the palace again, with the same pale face and the same heavy steps, but in her hand she was holding a tray like crystal.
Blood like a spring spurted out of the burly man's chest, soaking through the burly man's clothes, dripping on the ground one by one, making a crisp sound.
Next, Lin Muzhi saw that on the tray of the palace maid, there was an extra bright red heart, full of vitality, and even beating together.
After the palace maid left, the eunuch man in black robe opened his bloody mouth, and in this endless majestic palace, he began to eat the burly man who had his heart cut off little by little.
As the blood on the ground accumulated more and more, and even gradually soaked Lin Muzhi's shoes, Lin Muzhi finally understood why there was endless blood paving the ground in the passage of the palace wall.
The palace maid ghost feeds on people's souls, the eunuchs feed on people's flesh and blood, the unknown existence in the palace, and feeds on people's hearts and livers.
