Chapter 264: Nether Ghost Domain
This is a very wide space, surrounded by extremely steep rock walls.
At the exit of the passage, facing a towering wall, I don't know how high it is, tens of meters high. And on this wall, there are clumps of unknown green plants growing, exuding a faint smell.
Lightly fluorescent.
They are round in shape as a whole, like a pearl, and like a closed flower bud. Each leaf extends out from the round center, and the edges of the green leaves are as crystal clear as mutton-fat jade. It looks like
It is a combination of jadeite and Hetian jade.
Large tracts of plants are spread all over the cliff, and little bits of fluorescent light flicker in front of them, like a Milky Way hanging down from the sky, like a dream.
However, behind this dreamlike Milky Way, next to the clumps of plants, there are skeleton corpses tied with vines and embedded in the rocks! Skulls, arm bones, ribs... countless bones are larger than those from before.
The plants are more dense and complex, filling all the space on this rock wall!
The vast cliff seemed to have turned into a cemetery, and the faint light seemed to have become a ghost fire.
The breeze blows, and the clumps of plants on the rock wall sway slightly, and the string of green "milky rivers" sway, as if countless ghosts are wandering. The round part in the center trembles slightly, and gaps appear on it, opening instantly.
Everyone looking at the rock wall suddenly felt a chill and stepped back unconsciously.
Xue Rong's hand holding the gun couldn't help but tighten. He looked ahead and swallowed, his voice a little wavy: "What the hell is this!?"
After the center of the rock wall surrounded by dim light was opened, the clumps of plants completely changed their appearance and turned into——
Faces!
Surrounded by will-o'-the-wisps, bones are everywhere, and human faces are inlaid on the rock wall, as if they are the shadowy mountains in hell where countless ghosts and ghosts grow. Under the whistling wind, there are whimpering sounds, like endless ghosts.
Discuss and tear them into pieces.
Even when Jiang Xian saw such a scene, his heart couldn't help but feel cold. He took a deep breath and recalled the words of the founder of Mosquito-free Village - it is definitely not human!
Yes, the scenes here have a hint of the human world, it is clearly a land of the netherworld!
"That's not a real human face, it just looks like a human face." He calmed down and said slowly: "It's like a human-faced spider, but the patterns on its body are like human faces. The same goes for this plant, but it's just open.
Then it looked like a human face."
"It should be a flower, and the light spots around it should be sprayed spores."
Gu Mingrui on the side said, shining the flashlight around the rock wall. When illuminated by the light of the flashlight, those "human faces" shrank in an instant, and suddenly a thin spot of light erupted!
The long green river suddenly became more present. Under the blowing wind, green light flowed around and passed over the pieces of corpses, making the large white bones covered with green light, as if countless ghosts were constantly climbing from the netherworld.
And out.
"It's unbelievable..."
Lu Tianyuan breathed out a breath and was about to turn his head when his eyes suddenly froze. He instantly raised his flashlight and shined it straight at the rock wall. His tone became urgent: "Mr. Jiang, look here!"
Jiang Xian immediately turned his head and his pupils shrank.
At the location illuminated by the flashlight, several skeletons were piled on top of each other in a messy manner, and among the stacked skeletons, some messy metals were scattered around, full of traces of corrosion.
In the very center of the metal, there is a blue sky and white sun cap badge, which is quite conspicuous.
He immediately raised his hand and shined his flashlight towards the ground below the rock wall. Suddenly, a field of broken items came into view. All kinds of broken clothes and weapons were piled up randomly, and countless traces of corrosion were revealed on it.
Jiang Xian straightened the gas mask on his head and carefully stepped forward.
Lu Tianyuan followed from the side and took out a sealed jar from his backpack.
The two came to the Yin Fire Waterfall and looked at each other. Lu Tianyuan stretched out his hand to open the jar and threw it out!
The thrown jar hit the wall instantly with the strong wind, making a sound, but the floating waterfall remained the same.
After waiting for a while, there were no other changes in the surroundings. Jiang Xian relaxed slightly, wrapped himself tightly, stepped forward, and walked in.
Lu Tianyuan followed behind and walked to the rock wall together, looking at the large piles of broken armors, weapons, and broken guns: "Mr. Jiang, are these from the White Lotus Sect's Heaven and Earth Society?"
Jiang Xian nodded and shook his head: "It's theirs, but it's not just theirs."
He walked to the side and pointed to a relatively intact armor on the ground: "Look, the front of this armor is open. The long sleeves of the armor have 13 metal pieces, which are laminated and woven. The brim and body of the helmet are smaller than those on the side.
The Qing Dynasty helmet was taller, and there were long sleeves..."
"These features are all typical of the Ming Dynasty armor style."
"Oh?" Lu Tianyuan's expression changed: "You mean, there is an army of the Ming Dynasty here?"
"Yes." A trace of thought appeared on Jiang Xian's face, and he looked around at both sides: "And there are quite a few..."
"The Great Shangqing Palace was rebuilt six times in the Ming Dynasty... Now it seems that it was not just a simple construction."
"But, how come there are no traces or corpses of the Ming army on the upper floor?" Lu Tianyuan frowned slightly: "Based on the situation above, I don't believe that the Ming Dynasty's army can be elite enough to leave no traces and kill no one."
"In many places, they probably can't even collect the bodies."
Jiang Xian nodded: "Yes, but... the first floor now is not the seventh floor hundreds of years ago."
Huh? Lu Tianyuan was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean... the first level wasn't so dangerous back then?"
"Yes." Jiang Xian looked around and continued: "The shadow cellar is a blockade. The lower the blockage, the longer and tighter it is. Many of the monsters I saw before came up from the lower floors.
"
Lu Tianyuan recalled the countless bones he saw when he first entered the second floor, and couldn't help but nodded.
"According to the information I know, this place is gradually becoming more dangerous. Perhaps, a few hundred years ago, there were only some insignificant monsters on the first floor. Even a hundred years ago, the first floor was not very dangerous.
Otherwise, those people from the White Lotus Sect of the Heaven and Earth Society would not have hidden the treasure so deeply."
Although this was just Jiang Xian's guess, Lu Tianyuan felt that it was most likely the truth.
After all, such a large amount of gold and silver requires a lot of people to transport it. If the situation is similar to the current situation, how many people who come in can get out alive?
"The person who borrowed the knife once said that it is related to the four dynasties... Mao Ziyuan is from the Song Dynasty, and Ba Siba is from the Yuan Dynasty. Now the Ming and Qing Dynasties are also gathered, which is in line with the words of those four dynasties."
Thoughts flashed through Jiang Xian's mind. Even so, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved clearly, whether it is how the Ming Dynasty obtained the news here, or what happened after Pa Si Ba and Mao Zi Yuan, or even Yong Zheng obtained the White Lotus Jade
The reasons for this are all hidden in the fog.
"Maybe we can answer these questions later?"
His eyes flashed slightly. In addition to these, there were also the bones of the master and the ancestor. Now it seems that both of them must have gone deep into the depths of the shadow cellar.
He raised his head,
rustle……
A small voice suddenly sounded. Jiang Xian's eyes suddenly froze, and the muscles in his body tensed up instantly. He looked around with great vigilance. The same was true for Lu Tianyuan on the side, although nothing happened when he threw cans with meat before.
, as if it was safe, but they all remembered——
On this steep rock wall, countless corpses were tied up with root vines.
People will not climb up on their own and be turned into fertilizer by those human-faced plants.
The voice was very soft and subtle. Jiang Xian's ears trembled slightly as he didn't hear the voice coming. He turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Tianyuan, instantly reaching agreement.
The two of them walked slowly, back to back, and walked out together.
The breeze blew by, a cold feeling streaked across the skin, and goose bumps stood up, as if a ghost in hell was blowing the dark wind.
Stepping out of the green waterfall, Jiang Xian walked quickly to everyone. Jiang Xian still looked around vigilantly, and then looked at Lin Ruoxue: "Have you noticed or heard anything since we entered just now?"
Lin Ruoxue shook her head: "No, did you hear something inside?"
Jiang Xian nodded and looked around. In front of the rock wall that was surrounded by will-o'-the-wisps and looked like hell, he always had an uncomfortable feeling, as if something was watching him secretly.
When I heard that sound before, this feeling was the strongest.
It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!
He trusts his own intuition very much. Every master of the ancient method has extremely sharp intuition. Many times, this intuition can save lives. And after solving the curse, he feels that his intuition has become more and more powerful.
Intense.
"Let's go."
He glanced at the rock wall, turned around and walked towards the path he had already planned.
After the group of people left far away, the faces on the rock wall started to move, their vines collided with each other, and their smiling faces moved around. The front of the falling green Yin River also rotated, forming a
A giant funnel vortex.
The clumps of plants are gathered together. If someone looks at it from a distance, they can find that these plants together form a pattern.
A skull with a weird smile.
……………………
Jiang Xian suddenly turned his head and flashlighted his surroundings instantly, but it was still the same as before, ordinary rocks, ordinary soil, ordinary roads, and ordinary plants growing on the rocky land.
Here it is again...
His brows furrowed slightly. Ever since he left the rock wall, he had felt like something was peering at him from time to time.
But no matter how he probed, he never found out what was peeking at him.
Even after asking Lin Ruoxue, she found nothing.
Tian Ting Di Shi is indeed trustworthy, but his own intuition has always been trustworthy. Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xian turned his head and continued to move forward. However, in his left hand, the exquisite dice was ready to go.
Chapter completed!
