Origin Chapter 769: House of the dead
This robbery hole is not big, no more than three feet wide, and it goes straight down. Those who know it are a robbery hole, and those who don't know it think it is a well.
Wang Xinran seldom made the action of a little woman covering her nose, but at this time she covered her mouth and nose with her hand, but every ancient tomb must have turbid air and must be guarded against.
"The underground Taoyuan is just below, three feet above the ground." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"This is just a robbery hole, where is the real entrance?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "The underground space is completely closed, and there is no entrance."
Wang Xinran needed to avoid the turbid air, but Wu Zhongyuan was not afraid, and went straight to the thief cave and lowered his head to look down.
"What's down there?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Go down and have a look and you'll know," Wu Zhongyuan slowly descended.
The robbery cave originally had no steps, but Wu Zhongyuan made it possible.
There was originally no light in the robbery cave, but Wu Zhongyuan could also let it have.
After Wu Zhongyuan went down three steps, Wang Xinran followed him in. At this time, the earth and stone steps were rapidly being formed and extending downward. The light in the cave was very bright, and there was no luminous point, and I didn't know where the light source came from.
"Is this what you did?" Wang Xinran was surprised.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
Wang Xinran tried to go down a few steps. When he entered the passage, he looked up and saw that the outside was still bright. Obviously, Wu Zhongyuan did not withdraw the part of the aura that condensed the fireball.
Wang Xinran looked back and followed Wu Zhongyuan, "How did you do it?"
Wu Zhongyuan answered the question, "You know why I'm nervous now, I'm too strong now, don't say that others are afraid, even I am afraid."
"Can you describe how powerful you are now?" Wang Xinran asked casually.
"No," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I have been in Taiyuan for too short a time, and I still don't know enough about Taiyuan's cultivation, but I can give you an example so that you can have a general idea. concept.”
"What do you mean?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Nezha, you should know." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Are you at the same level as Nezha now?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "No, Nezha is an immortal, roughly equal to the three spiritual cultivation bases at this time. Taiyuan cultivation base is equivalent to the Jinxian of later generations, at the same level as Nezha's master Taiyi Zhenren, It may be slightly lower than the real Taiyi, but it is basically on the same level."
Wang Xinran didn't answer any further. At this point, she had reached the bottom of the stairs and saw the scene inside.
There is a cave on the left at the end of the steps. The two of them are in the deepest part of the cave. The cave is not big, only the size of a house. At the entrance of the cave, there is a group of yellow-haired monkeys basking in the sun.
Wang Xinran was astonished and looked around at a loss.
"Isn't it interesting?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
"What's going on here?" Wang Xinran pointed at the entrance of the cave, "How come there are monkeys here, and why is there light outside the cave?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but walked towards the group of monkeys. There were not many monkeys, but seven or eight.
"Isn't this an illusion?" Wang Xinran stared at the group of monkeys intently.
"Not for you," Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wu Zhongyuan approached slowly, but the group of monkeys still ignored it, still combing and catching lice.
"What the **** is going on here?" Wang Xinran reached out and touched the stone wall to confirm whether what he saw was an illusion, but the feeling of starting was very real.
Wu Zhongyuan stood at the entrance of the cave and watched, "I won't say it first, just observe for yourself, there is no danger here, don't worry."
Wang Xinran walked to Wu Zhongyuan and observed the situation outside. The cave where the two of them were located is located in the high north of this space, with lush forests below, cranes flying and apes chirping, birds chirping and flowers fragrant. There is a green bamboo forest on the mountainside, and a delicate wooden building is hidden in the bamboo forest.
While Wang Xinran looked around and observed, Wu Zhongyuan walked down the mountain, Wang Xinran followed, and observed the earth, rocks and plants in the mountain up close.
"This is clearly true, but the basic conditions for forming a complete ecological chain are not here." Wang Xinran became more and more puzzled.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled and said nothing.
Wang Xinran asked again, "Did it change?"
"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "There is not a single living thing here, everything is condensed by aura, and the things condensed by aura are inanimate, those monkeys and these birds seem to be alive , in fact, it’s just mechanically repeating a few simple movements.”
"Where exactly is this place?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "You should have guessed right before, this is probably a tomb, and the relatives of the ghost princes should be buried here. He transformed these inanimate things to accompany his dead relatives. ."
"He is a ghost king, why didn't he resurrect his relatives?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, our cognition is greatly influenced by modern times, and we subconsciously think that the ghost king is the king of hell, but this is not the case. At this time, the three realms have not been established, and there is no such thing as the underworld, the ghost king may not have it. The ability to bring the dead back to life.”
Wang Xinran followed Wu Zhongyuan to the mountainside, "What kind of person is the ghost king?"
"I only know that his name is Zisu, and he has the cultivation base of Shangyuan," Wu Zhongyuan said. "He is a figure from five thousand years ago. I have no chance to contact him at all. I also know very little, including their temperament and behavior, and what they have done, which I don't know, which is very unfavorable to me."
The cave where the two appeared is not far from the bamboo forest. As they spoke, the two came to the outside of the bamboo forest. There was a winding path in the bamboo forest. The two followed the path to the wooden building.
This is a two-story wooden building. It is not very luxurious, but it is very elegant. The door is hidden. The tomb robbers from Leper Ridge used to visit this place many years ago. The hidden door should be what they do.
After a brief stop in front of the door, Wu Zhongyuan stepped into the wooden building.
Ancient is not like modern, there are a lot of furniture in the room, there are not many ancient furniture, the first floor is very empty, only a few daily necessities including candlesticks and wooden basins.
There is a table in the middle of the room, a table to be exact, which is shorter than a modern table and has no drawers. There is a large box on the table.
The box is yellow, there is no rust, and it is undoubtedly a condensed spiritual energy.
Wu Zhongyuan walked to the case and looked closely at the box, but found a column of words on the case on the right side of the box.
Wang Xinran also found words on several cases, but could not identify them, so she looked at Wu Zhongyuan, "What do these words engraved on the table mean?"
"The deceased's dwelling, entered by mistake to be forgiven, took back his own back, and left all his descendants." Wu Zhongyuan recited in the original text.
"The box should contain the things that the tomb robbers took away before," Wang Xinran said. "This person doesn't seem to be very bad, and he knows how to warn people."
Wu Zhongyuan was undecided, reached out and opened the box and found it was empty.
The stairs leading to the second floor were unobstructed, Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan with questioning eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran wanted to ask him if he could go upstairs, and after a brief thought, he walked towards the stairs.
"Is it suitable?" Wang Xinran hesitated.
"There's nothing inappropriate. There are a few iron boxes on it. I can't perceive what's inside. Let's go up and take a look." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Seeing that Wang Xinran didn't follow up, Wu Zhongyuan stopped and turned around. "The ghost tribe once supported the four insects incarnate to rebel against the palace, and they once dispatched ghost soldiers and iron-clad zombies to compete with us to ward off ghosts and agarwood, and they have already torn their face off."
"There's an inexplicable weirdness here, will there be a trap?" Wang Xinran said.
"Probably not." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"Don't you find that there are many doubts here?" Wang Xinran said, "Since everything here is condensed by the ghost king with aura, and it's where he buried his relatives, why didn't he leave an aura barrier to protect it? Also, Suzaku is old and frail, and many ghost clan remnants took the opportunity to escape from Nanguan, why no one comes here?"
"It makes sense, let's go, go up and have a look, the answer may be on it..."
