Chapter 56 Breaking the Formation
Chapter 56 Breaking the Formation
Under the command of Xie Liushang, we found another secret passage. Although the decoration inside is not as gorgeous as the underground palace, it is obvious that we have prepared it long ago. I frowned and stared at Xie Liushang's back. What is she planning?
The secret road is not high, covered with cobwebs, and some places need to bend down to pass. The only lighting tools are flashlights and torches. The smell in the air is very pungent, the smell of rotting wood and grass.Since last night's accident, the air has been filled with the smell of spring grass sprouting, and it has become more and more intense as time goes by.
There is only one way to the secret road, we walked aimlessly, and I don't know how much time passed before Xie Liushang said, "We have reached the exit."
Now in front of us is a spiral staircase, which is exactly the same as the one in the previous chamber, except that we are going up now, and the latter is in the opposite direction.
We walked together, the air became more humid as we went up, and there was a feeling of suffocation in a trance, and there were more and more moss under our feet, occupying the stone ladder, and the sticky and soft touch when we stepped on it made us feel People's hairs stood on end.Thankfully, the arduous journey didn't last long, and soon we were at the exit.
"Where is this?" Different from the prosperity of the underground palace, this place looks very empty, and the stone pillars standing around are the only decorations.I walked around and still had that sticky feeling on my shoes.
Han Lin ignited the things in the ditch on the ground with a torch, and the tongue of flame quickly ran along the ditch to the depths, and within a quarter of an hour, the surrounding area was surrounded by flames.The interior surrounded by the stone pillars is a huge disc, which is densely packed with records, and there are patterns of mountains on the stones, but the words are very strange, and it is difficult to identify the meaning, which is very similar to the altar on the back mountain of Luoshui Mountain.
There is a faint sound of water droplets dripping. From our point of view, the "water droplets" just landed in the center of the disc. There are dark red liquid in the narrow ravines that radiate outward from the center of the disc. It's almost invisible.With the lessons learned from the previous few times, I have put some thought into various things.
"The descendants of the Chu family, use the blood." The woman came to a protruding stone tablet and waved to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan's eyes froze, but she still walked over, "This is for our sacrifices, why is there also in the tomb?"
"You only know what it is, but you don't know why it is. You sacrifice the blood essence of animals every year, but do you know what the blood essence is used for?" She pouted towards the stone tablet, signaling Jing Yan to start.
"Then tell me, the purpose of our sacrifice." Jing Yan estimated the size of the stone slab.He gestured with the dagger in his palm again, and finally asked, "How much do you want?" Sure enough, it is a very challenging thing to use a knife on yourself.
"A little more." Xie Liushang winked at her.
Knowing that there was no way out, Jing Yan also smashed the jar, gritted her teeth and cut a slit in the palm of her left hand with the dagger. The bright red blood rushed out, and Jing Yan hurriedly put her hand on the stone tablet.The stele swallowed Jing Yan's blood into her belly like a sponge, the ground trembled slightly, and a cat in its pocket slowly poked its head out as if it felt something, "Yanyan, why are you bleeding? ah?"
The sound of milk is milky, full of humming after a full sleep, and it's almost a stretch.Jing Yan rubbed her little head to tell her not to worry.
With Jing Yan's blood, the coagulated blood clot in the altar seemed to have life, flowing methodically along the cracks and slowly spreading outward.
"The formation of thousands of coffins is an extremely overbearing formation, which needs to be infiltrated with essence and blood to maintain it. It deters the strange forces from the outside world and prevents the things inside from running out. In recent years, the number of sacrifices has gradually decreased, which makes those things have a chance Multiply." Xie Liushang looked at the gradually activated formation with satisfaction, "It is also the last insurance of the tomb. When a foreign object invades, it can be activated only by taking the blood of the descendants of the tomb guard. The only drawback is that the formation can only be activated." Use it once."
Or is it a one-off?I looked at the blood flowing rapidly in the crack, and the vibration amplitude of the soles of my feet was getting bigger and bigger.
"If you don't turn over the owner's tomb, you're going to panic, right?" Bi Kong jumped out of his pocket and jumped to the ground to confront Xie Liushang.
But she didn't dislike the attitude of Wukong, "Aren't you also blocked by them from entering? After breaking the formation, it will be beneficial to you and me. The so-called one will be successful, and the bones will be ruined. There must be some sacrifices."
Suddenly there was a roar and the sound of short soldiers handing over, "What's going on down here?"
"The things in the coffin are fighting with those stone men. Let's go down after it's over and reap the benefits." Xie Liushang tapped his arms regularly, with a leisurely expression, it seemed that everything was in her plan.
I took this opportunity to sort out my thoughts: this tomb has two parts, one is designed by the owner of the tomb, the eldest princess, and the other is designed by the hostile forces of the eldest princess. It was set up by the royal dignity, but according to Xie Liushang, this formation is equivalent to a protective cover, which cannot get out from the inside and cannot come in from the outside.For them, the advantages of breaking the formation outweigh the disadvantages. After all, they are not like people who are greedy for money, and it is a relief to leave here.
Han Lin is convinced that Xie Liushang is his wife in his previous life, and this cannot be proven. If this is the case, there is a reason for Han Lin to take extra care of Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo is very much like his wife, the lover of his dreams.What about his ex-wife?This part of the information is not enough, I only know that his wife died unexpectedly, and Han Lin has been wearing their wedding ring since then, even when he came here, he took care of it carefully.
If he really dared to come here to pursue the person in his dream, then he would definitely not despise his marriage, nor would he wear a ring to find the lover of his dream.What was the status of his ex-wife to him?
"Brother Han, I want to ask you a sensitive question." The voice was a bit noisy, so I raised the volume and asked.
"What's the matter?" Han Lin moved closer to me so that he could hear clearly.
"Does your wife look very similar to Miss Xie?"
"Well, no matter in terms of appearance, temperament, or voice, they are all like the same person. When I saw her, I thought I was dreaming, otherwise how could the person in the dream come to reality." Talking about his lover, Han Lin's voice Unknowingly gentle.
"When did you meet?"
Han Lin thought for a while, "About nine years ago, I was only 21 years old and my career had just started."
Nine years ago, I counted with my fingers. It seems that I was only a sophomore in that year, and I had conflicts with Shi Zhan and the others that year.It was a year full of disasters, I said with emotion in my heart.
After letting Han Lin go, I ran to Xiaomo's side. Jing Yan had a funny cat on her right hand, and Mo Han and Wen Di helped her treat the wound on her left hand. It's terrible to be infected in such a humid environment.Xiao Mo had nothing to do, she could only stand there and rest, there was a gelatinous substance on the ground, she didn't want to get close.
"Why did the tomb choose us?" Xiao Mo raised a topic when he saw me coming.
"Ok?"
Seeing that I didn't understand, she re-explained. "Han Lin's wife is here. Jing Yan is a descendant of the tomb guard. Wen Yu is also a goldsmith. As for Wendi, she is from the Department of History. If you insist on including her, what about the rest? You, Me, Mo Han, the three of us have nothing to do with this place, why did you choose us to come in? Wang Shuya and the others also came in, but they stopped at the periphery, and Lei Hang was eliminated without even entering the periphery , but we ran here with experience value 0.”
"You look very similar to Xie Liushang, and Jing Yan is my sister's senior, can this be a reason?" I teased.
"Do you think it was accidental?" she murmured.
"Maybe there is a thing, person or event that connects us all, and this medium is most likely the key to reincarnation." I mused.
But our group of people can't get along with each other, especially Mo Han, she is the eldest lady of the Su Group, so how can she have contact with us, the middle and lower class people?Intersecting with her is also a matter since the beginning of reincarnation.What is it that brings us together?
"It's almost over now. I'll take you to meet the eldest princess. It's my courtesy to welcome guests." Xie Liushang stretched again and said lazily.
"Eh? Can we?" The underground palace is so heavily guarded, let us go to see the honor of the eldest princess like a sightseeing, is it really okay?
Xie Liushang waved his hand, "Yes, yes, come with me."
Following her, we felt a secret passage again, which still had a similar feel, and the sound of fighting became clearer as we walked down. We were afraid that a sword would come in from outside the wall in the next second.However, Xie Liushang is still as calm as before, with her as an example, I also put my heart away and followed behind.
Walking and walking along the secret path, until a huge tombstone stood in front of us, it was not seen again.
"Sin~ji~zhao~" Wendi unconsciously read the words on the tombstone.
"What is the Edict of Guilt?"
"It's like a review book. If the people encounter drought or flood, the emperor will go to pray for the people. If the disaster situation does not improve, the emperor will write an edict to examine whether there is any inappropriateness in this year's government affairs, which will arouse the anger of the gods. Put the blame on the people of the Li people."
"It's not easy being an emperor!"
"Yes!"
"Then what is written on it?" I asked, looking at the densely packed small characters.
"It seems to be ethics, general rules and so on. I'm sorry, Miss Tong Tong, I don't know many words." Wen Di lowered his head guiltily.
"What a big deal." I patted her on the shoulder jokingly.
A corner of the main tomb caved in, and the broken stones scattered on the ground to form a small hill. The soil also seeped in, increasing the humidity inside.
"Who are you!" Xie Liushang said coldly, following his reputation, it wasn't just Xichi who was lost with us standing in front of the coffin.
Her clothes were in tatters, and her hair was loose, casually draped over her shoulders.Shang Yang, who was inseparable from her, has disappeared now. Judging by her appearance, Shang Yang may be in danger.
Seeing us coming, Xichi didn't react as much as we did, but just snorted disdainfully, "It turns out that it's just a mental body that relies on sister's energy to survive. I thought it was some kind of monster."
