The skeleton is smiling, what kind of experience is this?
I swear, I have heard the roar of the big zongzi, I have seen the crying of the evil spirits, and I have also come into contact with the cruelty of the goblins, but no matter what it is, it is really weak compared to the smile of the skeleton in front of me.
A gray skull that has been eroded and brittle by wind, with a cracked mouth, bones squirming, and a very weird smile, and the mouth is even dark...
I was hairy all over and took a step back subconsciously.
Snap!
My master's hand was on my shoulder. He probably saw something unusual and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"He... is laughing!"
I pointed at the last heavenly official, but after my master spoke, the skeleton had returned to normal.
"What a laugh!"
Lao Bai said unhappily: "You are not dazzled, when did this skeleton laugh, I have been staring at it!"
Didn't laugh?
I hesitated for a moment, but I was sure that I was not dazzled. The Heavenly Official Blade was still warm, so it couldn't be fake. Something must have happened just now.
"We didn't see it smile."
My master frowned and said, "Something is wrong here, be careful."
"It did smile!"
At this time, Zhang Xinya suddenly said, "I saw it smile too!"
Fortunately!
Finally there is someone like me!
Although I don't know why Zhang Xinya can see it, it at least proves that I am not hysterical.
I wanted to say something to Zhang Xinya, but when I turned my head, I saw a pair of more creepy eyes.
Zhang Xinya has four big eyeballs! !
No, to be precise, there are four pupils, and there are two small pupils in each eye. This situation is a bit weird when it happens to a person.
At this time, the two pupils in her eye sockets are slowly overlapping, and then... return to normal.
Zhang Xinya saw that I had the same expression, her face changed, she immediately took a step back and turned her head away.
Obviously, she was very taboo about this and didn't want to say anything more, and it was even harder for me to ask. A pretty girl, but she had four pupils, which was more creepy than a ghost. No one would be willing to say more about this matter. I didn't have the habit of rubbing salt into people's wounds, so I simply shut up and pretended not to see it.
However, when Zhang Xinya spoke, my master's expression became more solemn. He gently pushed me and said, "Go over and take a look. Don't be afraid. I will watch you."
With my master's encouragement, I was not so nervous. I took a few deep breaths of turbid air and walked forward again.
Then... the skull laughed again.
And this time I saw it raised its head, and something seemed to be flickering in its dark eye sockets...
"It laughed again!!"
Zhang Xinya shouted from behind.
"I saw it, howling!"
Lao Bai almost jumped up at Zhang Xinya's shout: "Oh my god, I've seen countless corpses, ghosts and demons, but this skull is the most creepy!"
It seems that they all saw it this time! !
My master shouted, rushed up at the first time, and chopped the top of the skull with a palm, but it missed. His hand went through the skull directly. Because there was no point of support, he took a step forward due to inertia.
Not a physical body?
The smile of the skull gradually began to become distorted in my eyes, and it was jumping like smoke.
Crack!
The Baipi knife shattered at this moment, and the skull also shattered, floating towards the Tianguan Blade in my hand. No matter how I dodge, it is difficult to avoid it. Finally, the black mist transformed by the skull lingered on the Tianguan Blade and disappeared soon after.
No one was hurt, but the Baipi Knife was broken, and the body of the last Heavenly Official was gone.
My master took the Heavenly Official Blade and looked at it over and over for a long time, but found nothing, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Could it be that the last Heavenly Official is not dead?"
Brother Yaozi said: "I mean, his ghost still exists, attached to this corpse, just waiting for the descendants to come in to find the Earth Spirit Pearl, etc., so as to seize the body. Such things are not uncommon. Many old ghosts have killed their descendants in order to borrow the corpse to revive. After all, they are from the same lineage, and the bodies of the descendants should be better."
"No, this Heavenly Official buried the root of the turbulent era with his own strength. He must be a righteous person. How could he use such a sinister thing to revive the soul?"
My master shook his head and sighed: "Moreover, he should have been dead. He was buried in such a fierce tomb. He used his own body to suppress this place. There is no reason for him to escape."
But if you really want to explain why all these changes happened, my master can't explain it.
I know that something must have happened. Unfortunately, we can't see any clues at present. We can only wait for another change in the future to solve it.
I sighed, put aside many chaotic thoughts, and looked up to continue interpreting the words on the stone tablet.
"The barbarians marched south, and wars broke out. The world was overturned in one day. The living wailed, and the dead were restless. Wherever I looked, there were ruins. My heart ached. I wish to mend the cracks in the sky with my blood, and burn my body to suppress the underworld!"
The beginning of the stone tablet was probably these words, which were the voice of the last celestial official when he was dying.
These words were full of desolation. In a trance, I seemed to see a man fighting to exhaustion in the world of blood and fire, but there were endless corpses, ghosts and demons. He had broken his arm and was unable to fight again, so he could only roar in despair.
As my master said, this last celestial official should not be a character who wanted to revive by borrowing a corpse.
"Besides these?!"
My master asked: "Is there any mention of this place, such as this demon tomb!"
There are many words on the stone tablet, but I am not particularly familiar with this kind of sacrificial text after all, so it is very difficult to interpret it. After reading it for a long time, I nodded and answered my master's words: "Yes, this tomb is mentioned!"
The content on it is really scary!
According to the records on it, in the eyes of this last heavenly official, all things that have destroyed lives are demons in his eyes and should be buried alive!
Not only those demons and monsters that stir up trouble everywhere during the war, but also... people! !
Especially the Hu people who were killing people everywhere back then, in the eyes of the last heavenly official, all deserved to die!
So... this place is not only a place to bury demons, but also buried many people alive! !
"He has lost his reason due to anger..."
My master couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "The Tianguan sect once believed that they were outsiders and would never interfere with the secular world with power that was difficult to resist by human power. It is hard to say whether Shengwu Tianguan really existed or was just a fiction of the Tianguan sect. But in the past, there were indeed many rules that were said to have been established by him. Not interfering with the secular world was the biggest one. Only in this way could the Tianguan sect prosper forever...
This last Tianguan finally violated a taboo. Maybe, the Tianguan sect was cut off afterwards. This was also a punishment from the unknown. He opened Pandora's box..."
My master firmly believed that using extraordinary power to deal with ordinary people was like opening Pandora's box. Unimaginable things would happen, because history had its own inevitability. People like him should not exist in history. Interference would only bring disaster!
Obviously, sometimes being too concerned about the suffering of the people is not necessarily a good thing.
At least, my master thinks so. It is right to care about the world, establish a heart for the world, and establish a life for the people. But we must pay attention to the method. If there are demons and ghosts interfering with the human world, we must not agree to it. But why do you interfere in the fight between people? If you want to bring peace to the world, you will die.
"I don't care about that..."
Lao Bai muttered, "I just care about how many people he buried alive. The people who were buried alive are very resentful. After death, they become ghosts and are suppressed. After thousands of years, it makes my scalp numb just thinking about it..."
"This..."
I scratched my head and smiled bitterly, "Anyway, there are more people than ghosts. This place is called the Demon Burial Tomb, but there are not many demons and ghosts buried here. They are all people. It's not wrong to call it a mass grave."
"Where is the road?"
Brother Yaozi asked directly, "Where should we go next? Is it mentioned here?"
"Maybe it is mentioned, but I don't know the words after it. I only know four words... Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind."
I was really in a dilemma.
I don't know the words after it. There is only one possibility. Maybe it involves the Tianguan Juque Sutra and Xuanhuang Jiuzang. My father has never interpreted those contents for me, so I can read them myself when I am qualified.
"Earth, fire, water, and wind?"
My master raised his sword-like eyebrows and smiled, "It's interesting. People used to think that this is the most original thing between heaven and earth. When earth, fire, water, and wind are put together, they can return to the origin."
Return to the origin!
These two words made my eyes light up!
Because I thought of the eight words my father once told me - earth, fire, water, and wind can return to the origin!
Based on this, the ritual officials came up with a kind of stacked tombs and burial towers, which are specially used to suppress some unimaginable evil things.
The so-called stacked tombs and burial towers are actually tombs pressed on tombs, dug deep underground, just like building a building.
There are five layers of tombs of earth, fire, water and wind. Some are water burial tombs, and some are cremation tombs. The four types of tombs are stacked together, and there are secret passages connecting the places where the power is most concentrated. The ritual officer believes that this can gather the power of earth, fire, water and wind and push them all into the bottom layer of tombs, where the real owner is buried, that is, the kind of giant evil that is difficult to bury in the sky and difficult to destroy on the earth. At least it must be a drought-level thing. Anyway, no matter how difficult you are, you will be finished under the four natural forces of earth, fire, water and wind!
Return to the origin means everything is back to zero!
It's like decomposition. No matter how powerful you are, how immortal you are, you can't resist being decomposed into the state before the sperm and egg combine. Let's see how you jump around...
Hmm...
Anyway, this is how I understand this kind of tomb!
"That is to say, we may have to go all the way to the fifth tomb at the bottom..."
I smiled bitterly and said, "The real master is in that tomb, a very fierce thing. This tomb is to suppress it, but it seems that the thing is not dead yet. Only that thing can scare other things in this tomb..."
There is red water in the place where we are now. This is probably a water burial tomb. It is also the first layer, and there are four layers below!
"My mother..."
Lao Bai snorted: "Four layers? This is going to cost me my life. I really can't understand your ancestor. He is just one person. How can he bury 18 million living people here? And... he built such a big tomb. This is not something that ancient technology can accomplish!"
I still don't understand, how can I answer your question?
I glanced at him, thought about it for a while, and said: "I'm afraid we have to turn back. The road we are looking for is under that small pool!!"
