About the identity of Queen Jingjue.
Everyone had 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.
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.
However, they traveled around the world and saw countless demons, but they had never encountered a real demon in disguise. At most, they were like the old white lady from Gu Li Monument, who used the magic of round light to deceive outsiders.
But at this moment...
This was the first time they had doubts.
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 it seems reasonable to reach the end of the realm and 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?
Perhaps so too.
The only thing that made them feel suspicious was that if the queen was really a snake demon transformed into a human being, her own strength must have reached an unimaginable level. How could she die from a mere poison?
It's Chen Yulou himself.
Now it's nothing more than a golden elixir.
But it has been possible to ignore most of the mirage and poisonous fog.
Even if it is accidentally swallowed into the belly, it will disappear in an instant through the furnace and cauldron 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 figure it out.
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 Region?"
"You have to have multiple tastes to say something like this without conscience?"
"No, there are no women in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. Such an old witch can be put on the altar."
"Is this beauty 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 turning into a spirit made me even more tempted to pick up the gold and silver everywhere. They stood on tiptoes and looked under the coffin by the firelight.
Until he 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-in-law be the most beautiful queen in the world?
It was clearly a snake demon.
Just looking at it is terrifying.
"It's not a demon..."
Debate abounds.
Suddenly.
A calm voice sounded.
The noise suddenly became quiet, and you could hear needles dropping all around. All eyes subconsciously fell on the tall and thin back.
"How...how could this happen?"
"Shopkeeper Chen, are you mistaken? This ghost is not a demon. Could it be that it is a human?"
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 expressions on their faces said everything.
"Have you forgotten about the second aunt, the rat, from Lao Xiongling Yizhuang?"
Second Aunt Mouse?
Suddenly I heard this slightly ancient name.
Kunlun and the old foreigner couldn't help but twitch in the corners of their eyes.
The female corpse that looked like a wild mouse that day behind the gate of Yizhuang was even worse than it was now. Her facial features were cramped, her nose was small, her eyes were small, her teeth were buck-toothed, and her cheeks were buck-toothed. Apart from the lack of rat hair, she looked like a rat face.
"It really is…"
Several people were thoughtful and exclaimed.
Rumors circulated in Lao Xiongling's Eighteenth Cave Village that the woman was transformed from a mouse into a 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?"
I saw several people nodding 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 was obviously about whether this exquisite queen was a human or a demon. Why did some kind of second aunt suddenly appear?
I saw him scratching his head and scratching his head, looking impatient.
The old foreigner was amused for a while.
He lowered his voice and briefly told 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 that way?"
Traveled 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 in the martial arts world have come forward, but no one has actually broken through the mountain ridge, entered the underground palace, and dug out what the Yuanren barbarian had hidden.
Unexpectedly, those astonishing mausoleums were destroyed by the combined efforts of Xie Ling and Shi Shan.
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-section corpse whip in his hand.
As a Taoist magic weapon.
The magic whip was once the most important treasure of a certain Taoist sect in the Han Dynasty.
It's 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 whip in his hand was tightly held, but there wasn't much movement.
The runes within the engraved facets are as usual.
"It really is."
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.
"Then the whole **** mask is so mysterious and so ugly that no one can see it."
Put away the 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 how venomous he was, 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?"
After 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 it for her, right?"
"Why not?"
Yang Fang snorted, "This woman suppressed the Thirty-Six Kingdoms and took countless lives on her hands. The people were filled with resentment. Even if she was burned, it would be an advantage for her."
"If this had been released a thousand years ago, it would have been fine 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, had greatly defeated the Chu State throughout his life, so 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 was noisy, the slightest movement could not escape his detection.
"what's the situation?"
"There won't be any ghosts, right?"
"Shut your **** mouth if you can't speak."
Seeing that his expression suddenly turned serious, everyone in the cave, whether they were arguing or immersed in touching gold, stopped.
Looking at each other.
He glanced around in confusion. 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 also naturally formed.
The cliffs are either as sharp as a knife, going straight up or down, or they are rugged and difficult to climb.
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.
He pulled out the euphorbia and silently protected Chen Yulou.
Seeing this, the old foreigner also took off his dragon shooting bow, and his eyes swept 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.
I saw only the top of the cliff.
Oona held the magical mirror in her hand, and golden light emitted from it, piercing through 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 magic mirror for the first time.
I saw a majestic beam of light shining directly on the dark side of the stone wall.
An aura that is almost as strong as the Yang Sun, like a bright sun, the Yin Qi floating in the cave instantly melts into nothingness.
And there was no movement on the stone wall 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's three or four feet long.
There are black sarcomlike 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 it come from?"
Seeing this situation, the Xiling bandits, who were still puzzled by Chen Yulou's actions, felt cold all over.
The scaly snake is like a black wave.
Squirming like crazy.
Anyone watching will have their scalps exploded.
but…
That magical mirror was indeed an artifact of the shaman clan. The ferocious and terrifying black snake had no room for resistance. Large pieces of its scales fell off, and the whole body was festered, with black blood flowing out.
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…"
"Good stuff."
"Taoist magic weapon? No, this kind of power..."
The group of people were shocked to see it.
You know, along the way, even with a few of them taking action, the ubiquitous snake tide still brought great trouble to the team.
Once bitten.
Couldn't last even a moment.
He will be covered in ulcers and die miserably.
Their bodies are covered with scales, making them difficult to kill with ordinary knives and guns. Even snake repellent powders such as realgar have little effect on them.
They can only be driven away by force with fire.
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 that emerged from the cracks fled as fast as they could.
Leaving snake corpses all over the ground.
The entire cave exuded a disgusting stench.
"Thank you, Miss Oona."
Chen Yulou raised his head and cupped his hands.
Controlling the divine mirror seemed to require 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.
Didn't even have the energy to speak.
Just shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou didn't understand why.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Xiling group of thieves around him, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Boost."
"Carry the exposed objects 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, the boss."
Give an order.
The dozens of waiters didn't dare to delay any longer. They endured the fishy smell that filled the air and got busy quickly.
Subsequently.
Grasping the rope, he quickly sent basket after basket of artifacts to the top of the cliff.
"Shopkeeper Chen, this woman..."
Yang Fang gradually calmed down now.
Glancing at the female corpse in the coffin from the corner of his eye, he always felt that those ghosts came because of her.
An absolute source of trouble.
If she is not dealt with, there will probably 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 inward, revealing a dark, bottomless crack.
And the female corpse, which had been lying flat in the coffin, also fell straight down with a bang under the astonished eyes of everyone.
"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.
Being on the cliff, I even forgot to keep going up.
Facing 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.
He took out two fire crackers from his pocket, polished them, and threw them down along the cracks.
The firelight cut 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.
I couldn't see their appearance clearly, but I could only vaguely see that they were an old man and a young man, sitting opposite each other from the north to the south. Between them, there stood a stone box more than half a meter high.
boom-
Only saw this scene.
Partridge Whistle suddenly felt a muffled thunder explode in his mind.
There was a hint of indescribable excitement on his usually calm face.
"Ancestral Cave..."
"This is the burial place of the two sages!" (End of this chapter)
