Chapter 38 Skeleton Altar
As you walked into the mine, it suddenly became dark inside.
The air is filled with the smell of minerals, and the air seems extremely turbid. Those tiny particles enter the body with breathing, and over time, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
Along the mine, which is only about two meters long, Qi Lin led us and walked forward carefully.
Along the way, I don’t know how deep or far I walked, the space in front of me began to grow larger, and finally the two people came to a large mine pit.
The surrounding stone walls are full of traces of being excavated, leaving traces of various tools on the surface of the hard ore. The surrounding area is empty and has obviously been abandoned, and all the ore inside has been cleaned out.
He reached out and touched the stone wall. The dark metallic luster was broken off by Zheng Yi.
This is a small piece of raw black iron stone. It has not been purified and smelted, but you can still feel its hardness.
Further forward, there are dark tunnels extending inward. These are the passages dug by the miners in search of black iron concentrate.
At this point, he has probably seen the mineral veins, and Zheng Yi does not intend to continue going in.
"Sir, the passage on the far right is a place that Qi Yuanzong stipulates that no one is allowed to enter. People who have been in the main line for a long time are in charge. Even I don't know what's in it?"
Qi Lin suddenly said .
He looked up, his tone hesitant.
Looking at the dark mine tunnel, which is like the throat of a giant beast, it gives people an invisible, eerie and terrifying atmosphere, which is intimidating.
“Tell me more specifically.”
Zheng Yi stopped and asked with some interest.
"Sir, this passage is a strictly forbidden road in the Qi family's main line. Except for the permitted Qi family members, anyone else who breaks into this mine passage, whether intentionally or unintentionally."
"As long as he is discovered, he will be executed immediately."
Qi Lin explained carefully.
“Even if you are in the middle of the family like me, the same goes for the collateral members of the Qi family.”
"I heard that this passage is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones."
"The number of miners decreases by 30% every month. Except for a small number of those who died of exhaustion, the other missing miners are said to have been sent to It never appeared again in this passage."
"Over time, this passage was kept at a distance by the miners, and they privately called it the Devil's Alley."
"Later, Even without the help of the Qi family, no one would dare to come to this place.”
The so-called devil’s alley theory intrigued Zheng Yi.
"The gods are nagging, so they set up a maze of formations..."
"It seems that this is the place!"
Zheng Yi sneered.
Obviously, the main line of the Qi family issued such extremely strict and unreasonable measures to cover up some actions to prevent anyone from prying into the secrets.
But once something makes people guard against it, there must be a conspiracy.
Before Qi Lin could finish speaking, Zheng Yi summoned the Soul-Capturing Flag, and a dark mist surrounded his whole body, maxing out his defense. Several dark soldiers and ghosts were sent in front to lead the way.
Zheng Yi confirmed again and again and couldn't wait to walk in.
Qi Lin wanted to follow, but Zheng Yi left him outside.
Maybe he wanted to show off in front of his new master, but looking at his almost uncontrollable trembling legs made Zheng Yi not ready to take him forward.
If he encounters any danger, Zheng Yi has no time to worry about Qi Lin. He can come and go freely by himself, which is suitable for this expedition.
Moreover, Zheng Yi is very interested in the secrets hidden by the main line of the Qi family.
It must not be easy to be treated with such caution by a family that practices qi and cultivates immortality after several generations of arrangements. If there is any secret about cultivating immortals involved and Qi Lin sees it, Zheng Yi doesn't want to kill anyone and silence him.
After all, the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Meridians Formation is not a simple formation!
As Zheng Yi walked into the mine tunnel on the right and walked forward, the road was dark and quiet, and the silence was a bit scary.
The passage here has been transformed and repaired for a long time, and the cave walls above the head have been artificially smoothed.
It’s just that this place has been sealed off as a forbidden area, and obviously no one has come in for a long time.
At first Zheng Yi didn't know if it was an illusion. The further he walked, the more he felt a chill rising from his feet.
The coldness seems to come from the soles of the feet, through the hard rock ground, and directly into people's hearts.
There were gusts of cold wind blowing from an unknown vent in the alleyway.
The cold breath blew across the face, and it felt like a sharp blade scraping across the face, making the white hairs and sweat stand on end.
Later, the further we went, the coldness not only rose from our feet, but also swarmed from all directions, making it impossible to defend ourselves.
“What a heavy Yin Qi.”
“It’s simply more spooky than the ghost schools in the apocalyptic world, ghost underground parking lots and other ghost areas...”
"This Qi family has a big secret!"
Zheng Yi's face showed a hint of interest and excitement, and he continued to move forward.
The chill became more and more intense, almost freezing the whole person. The air also turned into cold air, continuously emerging from the front and pouring into the passage.
“There is no road?!”
As we walked, we turned a corner and found ourselves in a dead end, blocked by the end of a rock mine.
It seems that everything is over here.
In the alleyway, there is only the dull and turbid air, the deathly silence, and the cold air that surges all the time.
Of course, Zheng Yi didn't believe this clumsy cover-up technique.
For ordinary mortals or low-level casual cultivators, it may be confusing to a certain extent, but for those who are interested, it is naturally not enough.
Bang!
A bit of cold light suddenly appeared, and a flying sword appeared in Zheng Yi's hand. A bit of void, a cold light surged, and a sword struck the wall.
A large hole was cut in the thick wall, and Zheng Yi walked in.
“Damn…”
Zheng Yi almost cursed him.
“The Qi family is really courageous!”
Walking into the hidden space inside and seeing clearly everything in front of him, even Zheng Yi couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The sight you see is filled with skeletons.
As Zheng Yi's sword split open, there was actually a secret room hidden behind the seemingly natural rock wall. This was the secret that the Qi family wanted to hide.
What shocked Zheng Yi was that in the crack of the rock in this empty secret room, there was actually a huge altar of bones.
Countless skeletons are stacked layer by layer. I don’t know how many victims there are. All the flesh and blood on their bodies are gone. They are clean, as if they have been swallowed up and absorbed by some weird thing. What’s left is Senhan's bones were twisted, and he obviously suffered tremendous pain before his death.
The skulls and black eye sockets all faced the direction of the altar, and the empty eye sockets revealed endless weirdness and coldness.
