Chapter 75: The ghost clan climbed up from the underground abyss
Through the following content of the human skin mural, everyone gradually understood the power system of the demon country.
In fact, as the main city of the Demon Kingdom, the political system of Evil Luohai City is completely different from that of other countries.
During the heyday of the Demon Kingdom, the area of rule covered the surrounding areas of the Kunlun Mountains. There had been no kings in the past dynasties, and they were directly led by the main god they enshrined, the "Relics of the Snake God".
All major decisions are made through divination by the priest in the middle school after sacrificing to the bones of the snake god.
In that ancient era, divination was a very serious and important activity that could not be held lightly. It could only be held once every few years or even ten years.
The Demon Kingdom has no king, which is why there is no palace in the city, but only a temple.
The so-called royal family members are all wizards who have the right to speak, but their status is ranked after fifth in the country.
In the values of the Demonic Kingdom, the bones of the snake god are the highest god, and second only to the snake god is the cave where its bones are buried.
The third one is the "Jingjian Ahan" with a black naked eye on his head. Hu Bayi and others once encountered similar black people in the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue. snake.
Then, there is the ghost mother who has the power to sacrifice to the snake god. Her pair of unbounded demon eyes possess part of the power of the snake god.
Under the Ghost Mother are several chief priests who master some evil arts, similar to the original form of the evil spell.
Of course, the evil arts at that time were far less complicated than those in the King Xian period, and they could not harm people invisibly. They were mainly used to hold major sacrifices.
But at this moment, Chen Ze's eyes were a little confused, staring at the scene of the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom climbing out of the ghost cave, feeling that something was wrong in his heart.
In my memory, the origin of the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom is extremely mysterious, and even Hu Bayi and others did not fully understand it in the end.
It stands to reason that the ghost caves in ancient times were more terrifying than they are today. Let alone obtaining the Eyes of the Snake God, the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom would have had a hard time even getting close to it.
He originally thought that the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom were a people who happened to live near the ghost cave, but now looking at the records on the murals, it was clear that these first generation Demon Kingdom people crawled out from the depths of the ghost cave.
At this time, Chen Ze couldn't help but frown slightly, but a conjecture emerged in his heart.
Could it be that the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom originally lived in the underground abyss, and then they reached a contract with the Snake God and successfully obtained the Eyes of the Snake God
However, something in his heart In times of doubt.
But Shirley Yang came to the human skin mural on the other side and spoke.
"Chen Ze, look here."
Hearing the sound, Chen Ze also looked up, but Gu Jing Wubo's eyes suddenly became troubled again.
On this human skin mural, there is a honeycomb-shaped castle in front of it.
The tall and terrifying priest of the demon kingdom, wearing a mask with a green face and fangs, drove hundreds of girls into the passage to the underground temple with force.
Isn't the scene in this mural exactly the mirror image I just saw in the fish pattern mirror? !
In an instant, he felt an inexplicable sense of fate coming over him, which shocked people from the depths of his soul.
Look along the mural.
Driven by the evil priest, these girls also came to the temple where everyone was, and seemed to be praying before some kind of sacrifice.
Subsequently, these girls were driven again through a long underground passage, directly through the underground city, and arrived at an island surrounded by water.
On that island, there stood a dark black mountain peak surrounded by lightning and thunder.
Immediately afterwards, these girls were all pushed into the stone gate in the mountain peak.
It is vaguely visible that behind the stone gate, there are terrifying shadows.
When the last girl was pushed into the stone door, the priest closed the stone door and waited quietly.
I don’t know how long it took.
I saw the stone door opening again.
A girl holding a bronze mirror in her hand and wearing a dragon-shaped jade pendant around her neck slowly opened the stone door.
However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with strange colors.
The girl just glanced at the priest she was welcoming, and saw that the tall priest disappeared out of thin air, as if by some strange spell. In an instant, countless priests from the demon kingdom knelt down to worship, and even the ferocious beasts in captivity were prostrate on the ground.
The girl also ascended the highest altar, was put on the crown, reached out and picked up the golden scepter of the Demonic Kingdom, which symbolized power.
Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang and Shirley Yang suddenly looked at each other and said a name in unison.
“Queen Jingjue?!”
As he spoke, Fatty Wang’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but remember that he had seen similar scenes in the murals in the ancient city of Jingjue.
“Isn’t this the same as that Queen Jingjue, who just looks at you and can directly make living people disappear and be sent to that imaginary number space?!”
Hu Bayi also nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"It seems that both the Ghost Mother and the Jingjue Queen have gained the power of the snake god."
Hearing this, Shirley Yang's eyes moved and she couldn't help but speak.
“I think this is the first-generation ghost mother of the Demonic Kingdom, the evil-minded black face!”
As she said that, she also remembered a lot of information about the ghost mother mentioned by Tiebang Lama, and then road.
"The religion of the devil country believes that every generation of ghost mothers is reincarnated. They can never show their faces to others, and they must always cover their faces."
"Because their eyes are comparable to the "Buddha's Eyes" "The sixth kind of eyes, "Demon Eyes", is also called the Unbounded Demonic Eye. The Buddha's eye is boundless, and the Demonic Eye is boundless. Not every generation of ghost mothers can have this kind of demonic pupil."
" "Nian Ji Heiyan?"
Hu Bayi frowned slightly and couldn't help but continue.
“The glacier crystal corpse we saw in the nine-story demon building is exactly what the first-generation ghost mother transformed into after her death.”
After hearing this, Chen Ze couldn't help but nodded and stared deeply at the content on the mural.
"Yes, the content on this human skin mural should be the way the Demon Kingdom first selected the ghost mother through sacrifice."
"Nian Xi Heiyan is the first generation of ghost mother, and In a sense, Queen Jingjue can be regarded as the last generation of ghost mothers!"
As she said this.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Ming, who had not cared about this before, came closer and looked at the black face of Nian Xi in the mural, then looked back at Axiang, and couldn't help but say in surprise.
"The portrait of the first-generation ghost mother when she was a child is somewhat similar to that of Axiang when she was a child."
"I remember that when I first adopted Axiang, she seemed to be just ten years old."
After the words fell, even Axiang himself looked at the black face of Nian Xi in the picture, with surprise in his Shuiling eyes.
Fatty Wang disagreed with this.
"Okay, Uncle Ming, why does this look like that? The stone carving of a human face before looked like Mr. Chen. What can be seen from this rough human skin mural. You can cool down over there and stay there. Go ahead!”
Uncle Ming curled his lips in comfort, but stopped talking.
He turned his head and felt a little itchy looking at these human skin murals. He rolled his eyes and thought about his little calculation.
After all, as an ancient corpse dealer, this kind of human skin mural with special significance can be sold at a sky-high price abroad.
At the same time.
Chen Ze, Hu Bayi and others also followed the human skin mural and then looked down.
The human skin murals record the rise and fall of the demon kingdom that ruled the Kunlun Snow Region for hundreds of years.
From the time when the ancestors of the demon kingdom went to the Kunlun Mountains to establish the Evil Luohai City, to the emergence of the first generation of ghost mothers, until they ruled the entire Kunlun region.
During this period, the incident of the first-generation ghost mother being buried in a nine-story demon tower after her death was also mentioned.
I just saw that although the subsequent generations of ghost mothers covered their faces with their hands, each one seemed to look like the first generation of ghost mothers, which made people feel a little creepy.
