About the identity of Queen Jingjue.
Everyone speculated before coming.
But until now, I saw with my own eyes the ugly, snake-like, hideous face in the coffin.
They only realized it later.
Perhaps, the records about her are all false.
What the most beautiful woman in the Western Region.
The daughter of the gods.
The supreme queen who rules the people of the thirty-six kingdoms.
In the countryside, there are often rumors of snakes and foxes turning into spirits and swallowing people's yang energy.
But they have traveled around the world and seen countless demons, but they have never encountered a real demon in disguise. At most, they are like the old white lady from Guli Monument, who use the magic of round light to deceive outsiders.
But at this moment...
They were suspicious for the first time.
Maybe there really is a great demon in this world that takes the form of a spirit.
Just like the old turtle on the Nanpan River, countless years have passed and when it reaches the end of its realm, it seems reasonable to turn into a human being.
There is also Zhou Jiao in Fuxian Lake.
A dragon belongs to the dragon family and can transform into a dragon through water. What about after achieving the body of a dragon?
Maybe so too.
The only thing that makes them feel suspicious is that if the queen is really a snake demon transformed into a human, her own strength must have reached an unimaginable level. How could she die from a mere poison?
It’s Chen Yulou himself.
Now it is nothing more than a golden elixir.
But it has been possible to ignore most of the mirage and poisonous fog.
Even if it is swallowed accidentally, it will disappear in an instant after being refined in a furnace deep in the Dantian.
What's more, those black snakes regarded as patron saints by the ghost cave people are already the most poisonous things in the world.
So he really couldn’t understand.
What kind of poison is there in the world that can kill a transformed monster in one night?
"Damn it, is this the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions?"
"Do you have to have multiple tastes to say such things without conscience?"
"No, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions Is there no woman? This old witch can be put on the altar. "
"Is this word really related to beauty?"
The coffin opening made a lot of noise.
The guys around who were trying to make money were all watching.
I was already feeling itchy, but Yang Fang’s comment about the snake demon becoming a spirit made me even more tempted to pick up the gold and silver lying around. They stood on tiptoes and looked under the coffin by the firelight. .
Until I saw that face that looked haggard, like tree bark and snake scales.
The group of people felt a chill rushing directly to their heads.
How can this mother be the most beautiful queen in the world?
It was clearly a snake demon.
Just looking at it makes people shudder.
"It's not a demon..."
Amidst the debate.
Suddenly.
A calm voice sounded.
The noise suddenly became quiet, and you could hear needle drops all around. All eyes subconsciously fell on the tall and thin back.
"How...how could this happen?"
"Shopkeeper Chen, did you see it wrong? This ghost is not a demon, could it be a human being?"
Yang Fang looked in disbelief.
After being stunned for a while, he said in shock.
Although Kunlun and the old foreigner beside him were speechless, the looks on their faces said everything.
“Have you forgotten about the second aunt the mouse in Lao Xiongling Yizhuang?”
The second aunt the mouse?
Suddenly I heard this slightly ancient name.
Kunlun and the old foreigner couldn't help but twitch in the corner of their eyes.
The female corpse that looked like a wild mouse behind the gate of Yizhuang that day was actually even worse than it is now. Her facial features were cramped, her nose was small, her eyes were small, and her teeth were buck-toothed and her cheeks were like a monkey. Except for the fact that there was no mouse hair, she looked just like a human. Rat face.
"It's really..."
A few people were thoughtful and exclaimed.
There were rumors in the Lao Xiongling Eighteen-Dong Village that the woman was a rat spirit. She was said to have a nose and eyes, and her serious look made the mountain people fear her.
But what I saw that day.
Except for the Chenzhou Corpse Purification Talisman posted on his face after death.
Second Aunt Mouse is just a poor woman with an ugly appearance.
"No, what are you talking about? Who is the second aunt Mouse?"
A few people nodded their heads.
Yang Fang, the only one who had never been to Pingshan, was confused and had no idea what they were talking about.
The debate is obviously whether this exquisite queen is a human or a demon, so why does a second aunt suddenly appear?
I saw him scratching his head and scratching his head, looking impatient.
The old foreigner was funny for a while.
Lowering his voice, he briefly talked about what happened that day.
"In other words, this woman is actually the same as her. She is not a big demon, she is just born like this?"
Walking around the world for many years.
Old foreigners have also heard of Pingshan Tomb.
It is said that from ancient times to the present, countless people from all over the world have come forward to fight against each other, but no one has actually broken through the mountain ridge, entered the underground palace, and dug out what the Yuanren barbarian had hidden.
Unexpectedly, such an astonishing mausoleum was destroyed by the combined efforts of dismounting ridges and moving mountains.
In comparison, the second aunt Mouse was nothing to him, just some country rumors.
"If it's a demon, there should be movement when the magic whip is struck."
Chen Yulou reminded.
Hearing this, Yang Fang suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously lowered his head to look at the four-edged, seven-jointed corpse whip in his hand.
As a Taoist instrument.
The magic whip was once the most important treasure of a certain Taoist sect in the Han Dynasty.
It is a pity that the mountain gate has declined and the steel whip has been buried in the underground palace. It has not seen the light of day for nearly two thousand years, until Jin Abacus accidentally entered it and brought it back.
Because it is imbued with Taoist Qi, the magic whip is very magical.
Once you sense the evil spirit of the dead body.
The runes on the whip body flashed as a warning.
But at this moment...
The magic whip in his hand was tightly held, but there was not much movement.
The runes within the engraved facets are as usual.
“It’s true.”
Just now, all my mind was attracted by the queen’s true appearance.
Yang Fang really didn't pay attention to the changes in the magic whip.
This steel whip has been with him for many years and has already connected with him. It has taken him out of danger countless times between life and death.
"The whole damn mask is so mysterious, so ugly that no one can see it."
Put away the magic whip.
Yang Fang curled his lips with disdain on his face.
If he had known, this woman was pretending to be a god, and she was the daughter of a god, and she was the most beautiful woman in the Western Region, but even he didn't expect that six words would take up a person.
"You kid..."
Seeing his venomous tongue, he showed no mercy at all.
The old foreigner couldn't help but remind him.
Yang Fang raised his eyes and glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Why, have you forgotten what happened before?"
Hearing this, the old foreigner clearly noticed that several eyes were falling on him, especially the one from his senior brother, which made him feel like a ray of light on his back.
"Then we can't burn her, right?"
"Why not?"
Yang Fang snorted, "This woman suppressed the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, her hands There are countless lives in it, and public resentment is boiling. Even if it is burned, it will be an advantage for her.”
"If this had happened a thousand years ago, it would have been better if it hadn't been dug out and slaughtered."
Although there was a hint of youthful resentment in his tone.
But I have to say that what he said is indeed true.
Wu Zixu, who was regarded as the ancestor by the Xiling faction, spent his life destroying the Chu Kingdom. He dug up the tomb of King Chu Ping, exposed his corpse and whipped him to avenge his father and brother.
From the prince’s tomb under the ancient well in Gumozhou.
You can also get a glimpse of what happened back then.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden storm that buried the ancient city of Jingjue underground, the first thing the coalition forces would have done after they breached the ancient city would have been to dig out her body.
"Shh!"
While the two were arguing.
Chen Yulou suddenly frowned.
He turned around and looked at the shadow of the cliff in the distance.
Although the cave is noisy, no matter how subtle the movement is, it cannot escape his detection.
“What’s going on?”
“There’s no ghost, right?”
“Shut your fucking mouth if you can’t speak.”
Seeing that his expression suddenly turned serious, all the people in the cave, whether they were arguing or immersed in touching gold, stopped.
Looking at each other.
Swept around in surprise. But in their opinion, even if there were sky lanterns above their heads and torches and wind lanterns beside them, they still couldn't see anything strange, so they couldn't help lowering their voices and discussing.
Not only the Xiling group of thieves.
Yang Fang and the old foreigner, who were still arguing about how to dispose of Queen Jingjue's body just a moment ago, were doing the same thing.
The size of the cave beneath you is astonishing.
It is naturally formed.
The cliff is either as sharp as a knife, going straight up or down, or it is rugged and difficult to navigate.
Even though the surrounding fire was as bright as day, the stone wall was still eerie and dark, and the condensed water mist reflected the light back, greatly affecting everyone's sight.
Although Kunlun didn't know what was going on.
But he keenly sensed the danger.
Pull out the euphorbia and silently protect Chen Yulou.
Seeing this, the old foreigner also took off his Jiaoshe bow, his gaze sweeping around like a torch.
“Give me fire.”
After watching it intently for a moment, Chen Yulou stretched out his hand, and with his quick eyes and quick hands, he immediately took out a wind lantern, but before he had time to hand it over.
In the heavy fog above our heads, a ray of light suddenly broke through the sky.
Chen Yulou frowned and subconsciously looked up.
Only the top of the cliff.
Oona held the magical mirror in her hand, and golden light emitted from it, piercing the thick fog and shining directly on the stone wall in the distance.
Starting from the village, she kept the mirror with her all day long, but it was not until she entered the ancient city that she finally took it off, allowing people to get a glimpse of the mirror's appearance.
Even Chen Yulou only vaguely guessed its function.
Now...
She finally used the power of the mirror for the first time.
I saw a majestic beam of light shining directly on the dark side of the stone wall.
The aura that is almost as strong as the Yang Sun is like a bright sun. The Yin Qi floating in the cave instantly melts and turns into nothingness.
The stone wall was motionless before.
Wherever the light passed at this moment, a scream suddenly broke out.
In the shadow, there seemed to be a large mass of boiling ink, surging back and forth, but after a closer look, you realized what kind of ink water it was. It was clearly countless black snakes entwined together.
It is three or four feet long.
There are black sarcoma-like eyes on the head, glowing with a cold and deep light.
"God..."
"Can't we kill all these ghosts? Why are there so many of them?"
"No, where did they come from?"< br>
Seeing this situation, the Xiling group of thieves who were still puzzled by Chen Yulou's actions only felt cold all over their bodies.
The scaly snake is like a black wave.
Cruel squirming.
The scalps of everyone watching will explode.
But...
That magical mirror is indeed the artifact of the shaman clan. The ferocious and terrifying black snake has no room to resist. Large pieces of its scales fell off, and its body was full of ulcers and black blood. Straight flow.
Desperately trying to escape from the cracks in the cliff.
But it didn’t help at all.
As long as they are illuminated by light and shadow, the snakes will die at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This..."
"What a good thing."
"Taoist magic weapon? No, this kind of power..."
The group of people were shocked to see it.
You know, even with a few of them taking action along the way, the ubiquitous snake tide still brought great trouble to the team.
Once bitten.
Can't even hold on for a moment.
He will be covered in ulcers and die miserably.
And they are covered with scales, making them difficult to kill with ordinary knives and guns. Even snake repellent powders such as realgar have minimal effect on them.
We can only use fire to drive them away.
Now I see that bronze mirror showing great power.
Even though it was a partridge whistle, my heart couldn’t help but pound.
But after looking at it for a long time, with his knowledge, it was difficult to tell whether it was a Taoist magic weapon or a Tantric Buddhist treasure.
Not long after.
The tide of snakes emerged from the cracks and fled to death.
Leaving snake corpses all over the ground.
The entire cave exudes a disgusting stench.
"Thank you, Miss Oona."
Chen Yulou raised his head and cupped his hands.
It seems that controlling the magic mirror requires countless energy and blood. The moment she put away the mirror, Oona's face had turned as white as gold paper, and there was a strong sense of weakness in her expression.
Don’t even have the energy to speak.
Just shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou didn't understand why.
Immediately withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Xieling bandits around him, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Speed up."
"Carry the visible weapons out first."
He knew very well where those poisonous snakes came from.
Further down here are the remains of the ancestors of the Zagrama clan, and further down is the ghost cave that the brothers Partridge Sentinel are searching for.
That place.
Except for a few of them.
For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a forbidden place for living people, a place where there is no life.
From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of taking them with him. Going there would only hinder their schedule.
"Yes, always in charge."
An order was given.
The dozens of waiters didn’t dare to delay any longer. They endured the fishy smell that filled the air and got busy quickly.
Later.
Grab the rope and quickly send basket after basket of artifacts to the top of the cliff.
"Shopkeeper Chen, this woman..."
Yang Fang also gradually calmed down.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the female corpse in the coffin, and he always felt that those ghosts came because of her.
Absolutely a source of trouble.
If we don’t get rid of her, I’m afraid there will be a steady stream of trouble.
Hearing this, the eyes of the remaining people also fell on him, but Chen Yulou didn't explain much and just took the vaginal claw from Yang Fang's hand.
In a somewhat suspicious look.
The probing claw went around the ferocious face of the female corpse, and gently pressed on the black stone pillow that was the only one buried with her in the coffin.
Click——
In an instant.
Suddenly there was a sound of a machine being triggered under the wooden coffin.
Then, the bottom of the coffin turned inwards, revealing a dark, bottomless crack.
And the female corpse, which had been lying flat in the coffin, also fell straight down with a bang while everyone was looking at it in astonishment.
"This..."
"Is there a cave inside the coffin?"
Several people had no time to pay attention to when Chen Yulou discovered the mechanism inside the coffin. They just stared at the direction where the female corpse disappeared, with wide eyes full of disbelief.
The guys around who were still carrying the weapons were also shocked and speechless by this scene.
While on the cliff, I even forgot to keep going up.
Faced with the exclamations and astonishment of several people, Chen Yulou just gave Kunlun instructions in a low voice.
"Huo Zhezi."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
Kunlun nodded.
Quickly put away the distracting thoughts in your mind.
Take out two fire certificates from your pocket, polish them, and throw them down along the cracks.
The fire streaked through the darkness, gradually illuminating the surrounding area.
No one in the group dared to speak and looked down attentively.
The crack at the bottom was not too long. In just a moment, the fire fold fell to the bottom of the cave. In the swaying light and fire, a square stone chamber slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Faintly.
There seemed to be two figures sitting cross-legged.
You can't see their faces clearly, but you can only vaguely see that they are an old man and a young man, sitting opposite each other from the north to the south. Between them, there is a stone box more than half a meter high.
Boom——
I only saw this scene.
Partridge Whistle suddenly felt a muffled thunder exploding in his mind.
The usually calm face showed a hint of indescribable excitement.
"Ancestral Cave..."
"It is the burial place of the two saints!" (End of this chapter)
