They didn't know how long they had been walking, but they suddenly started walking down the stone steps. After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Ning Beichen followed the passage and came to a place similar to an underground secret room.
A putrid smell wafted into the noses of the two of them. Chen Mingyue hurriedly turned blue, took out a mask and put it on.
Ning Beichen seemed to be fine, but when he opened a few doors, his expression also turned ugly and he said.
"This seems to be an underground prison. It should have been used to hold prisoners for interrogation."
"What bad luck."
Chen Mingyue originally thought she had discovered some amazing secret room with countless treasures inside, but it turned out to be a dungeon.
"Let's take a look first. I think it's not simple here."
As a Grand Master, Ning Beichen could vaguely feel that this place seemed to have some extremely terrifying power.
After some exploration, Ning Beichen found the source of this terrible power.
When he pushed open a thick door, a force that made Ning Beichen's heart palpitate emerged from behind the door. Ning Beichen was the first to bear the brunt and was directly knocked away by this terrifying force.
There was a pop.
Ning Beichen's throat felt sweet and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Ning Beichen!"
When Chen Mingyue saw Ning Beichen being knocked away, her first reaction was to run towards him.
"Don't come over, go back."
Ning Beichen immediately stopped her loudly.
Even a great master like him couldn't bear this power. Chen Mingyue had no choice but to die if he came over.
Chen Mingyue stepped back and asked extremely worriedly.
"Ning Beichen, are you okay? I saw you vomited blood."
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. This place is a little weird, so don't come over yet."
Ning Beichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Chen Mingyue.
"Well, please be careful. If it really doesn't work, we put safety first."
Chen Mingyue said worriedly.
She knew how powerful Ning Beichen was. Even Ning Beichen was injured and vomited blood, but he couldn't even see the enemy. This shows that this place is too dangerous and weird.
Ning Beichen got up from the ground, got ready, and continued to walk into the door.
However, this time he didn't have the strength to collide with him, and Ning Beichen was not attacked again, allowing him to enter the room smoothly.
But it is said to be a room, but it is actually an independent cell inside, a sealed cell without even a window.
After Ning Beichen entered, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he persisted.
Skeletons!
Ning Beichen actually saw a complete human skeleton in the cell.
An ancient bronze sword was inserted directly above the skull of this human skeleton, and the limbs of the skeleton were also locked with four chains. There were a large number of ancient characters engraved on these chains, which should be some kind of spell.
When Ning Beichen saw this scene, he took a breath of cold air.
Who was the owner of this skeleton during his lifetime? He was tortured so cruelly.
Especially the ancient bronze sword on his skull, which was inserted halfway through his skull to the heart of the skeleton.
Ning Beichen guessed that either the skeleton was tortured during his lifetime, or the owner of the skeleton was too strong and needed to be restrained in this way.
Ning Beichen carefully walked up to the skeleton and looked at it carefully. From the shape of the skeleton, he judged that the skeleton was that of a man.
Moreover, Ning Beichen also judged from some characteristics of the skeleton that the age of the skeleton was approximately 20 to 30 years, which means that the skeleton was a young man during his lifetime.
However, this is just a normal situation. If this person was a cultivator in life, the bone age may not be accurate.
Ning Beichen was not interested in the skeleton, but was more interested in the ancient bronze sword on his skull.
It must be extraordinary that this ancient bronze sword could kill this man.
Ning Beichen walked up to the skeleton and boldly stretched out his hand to pull out the ancient bronze sword from his skull.
However, when Ning Beichen's hand fell on the hilt of the ancient bronze sword, he suddenly felt a pain in his head, as if something was trying to get into his brain. Ning Beichen was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand.
However, the feeling that something was about to penetrate his head did not disappear. Ning Beichen had no time to think about it and hurriedly sat cross-legged and recited the Vajra Sutra silently.
The Vajra Sutra he recited was not the useless version today, but the authentic one collected by Buddhism.
"Paraparamita..."
Ning Beichen recited the Diamond Sutra, and his internal energy traveled through the two meridians of Ren and Du, turning the large and small heavens. He saw a faint red light appear on Ning Beichen's body.
While reciting the Vajra Sutra, Ning Beichen seemed to hear an unwilling roar, and then the pain that was gnawing at his head disappeared. It seemed that the unknown that was trying to gnaw at his head had receded.
However, for safety reasons, Ning Beichen still did not stop reciting the Vajra Sutra. It was not until he recited the Vajra Sutra three times that Ning Beichen stopped.
I don't know if it was because of the blessing of the Vajra Sutra or the dispelling of the unknown, but Ning Beichen felt that this place made people feel a lot more at ease.
There was no more stuff drilling into his head.
"Could the situation just now be the legendary body snatching?"
Ning Beichen thought in his heart and couldn't help but shudder.
Demonic things like body seizing only exist in ancient rumors. In modern times, no one would believe that such a thing could happen.
But if it wasn't to seize the body, what was the reason just now?
Ning Beichen carefully observed his surroundings, and his internal energy was circulating in the sky. He was ready to recite the Vajra Sutra at any time, and then quickly grabbed the hilt of the ancient bronze sword.
After waiting for a while, nothing got into his head, so Ning Beichen pulled out the ancient bronze sword.
When the ancient bronze sword was pulled out from the bones, before Ning Beichen could take a closer look, he saw the bones melting like ice and snow in front of his eyes.
A clanking sound.
After the bones melted, a silver bead fell to the ground. Ning Beichen picked it up curiously.
"Strange, is this bead embedded in the bones?"
Ning Beichen had looked carefully at the bones just now, but he didn't see any beads. But when he pulled out the ancient bronze sword, the bones melted like ice and snow, and a bead also melted out.
"Yes, this can't be gallstones, right?"
"No, there shouldn't be such big gallstones, right? Could they be relics?"
"The relic doesn't seem right. I've seen the relic, and this thing is just a silver bead."
Ning Beichen couldn't figure out what this thing was after much deliberation, but since it fell from the skeleton, it probably couldn't be an ordinary thing.
"Could it be...that this is a pill?"
"wrong!"
"Wait a minute, liquefy it into elixir, hide it in the limbs and bones, form a rainbow bridge with the heaven and earth, cross the river and board a boat, leading to the other shore... I seem to have seen it somewhere."
