The fat Taoist priest and Zhou You came to a rock wall.
The rock wall is smooth and flat, and you can tell it was polished manually at first glance.
There are brightly colored murals carved on it.
It's just that the light here is too dark, and you can only see some outlines, not really at all.
Wu Liang took out a Taoist talisman and threw it directly into the air.
There was a bang.
This talisman instantly turned into a small ball of light, illuminating the mural above.
On the rock wall, there are four murals with completely different contents.
The first one is engraved with a picture of hell on earth.
The sky was shrouded in darkness, raining blood poured down, and hideous and terrifying demons emerged.
The ground is covered with bones and rivers of blood.
With ruins and broken city walls, the human army has no power to resist in front of these demons and monsters.
Countless humans are wailing in despair and helplessness.
This is a picture of purgatory on earth.
It's bloody, desolate, and desperate.
"Monsters massacre the city..." Zhou You breathed out softly.
The war between humans and demons has never stopped since ancient times.
The events engraved on the murals still happen even today.
When the Dayin Dynasty was founded a thousand years ago, they immediately prepared to establish the Demon Slayer Department.
It is to destroy these demons and treacherous creatures.
To prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Thousands of years have passed, and the demonic forces are still rampant. The sacrifices of generations of demon slayers seem to be in vain.
But the slayer persisted.
At the very least, let those demonic forces know that humans are not afraid of them.
"When I look at the costumes of these people on the murals, they should be from the previous dynasty." Taoist Wu Liang has a profound research on history.
Zhou You knew about the previous dynasty, which was the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was probably the most powerful dynasty in human history, lasting for tens of thousands of years.
But everything in the world prospers and then declines. This is the case for this powerful human dynasty.
According to historical records, the Zhou Dynasty reached its peak state five thousand years ago, and could even compete with demonic forces without falling behind at all.
But after that, the Zhou Dynasty began to weaken and became decadent. Its national power gradually declined, and it also lost its former ambitions and continued to compromise with demonic forces.
Finally, two thousand years ago, the demonic forces felt that the time was ripe and destroyed the Zhou Dynasty with overwhelming force.
The huge and decadent Zhou Dynasty also fell apart, and its glory was no longer.
Those days were the darkest days for mankind.
According to historical records, it is called "The Long Night Is Hard to See".
"It seems that this former general...is a figure from the Yongye period."
Zhou You sighed with emotion.
Only during that period would the human race be so desperate.
The Eternal Night Period is about 1,500 years ago.
His eyes passed over the second mural.
A general wearing black armor and a ferocious devil helmet appeared.
This general was as tall as a mountain, and his whole body was exuding cold evil aura, like a god of death coming out of hell.
His mount is a huge black horse.
The whole body is surrounded by black mist, the body is more than three meters tall, and the head is shaped like a black dragon, which is ferocious and terrifying.
Behind him, there were dense soldiers.
These soldiers looked cold, and they were also wearing black armor, devil helmets on their heads, and holding blood-colored halberds, showing coldness, indifference, and ruthlessness.
They don't seem to have any human emotions, they are just ruthless killing machines.
These cold and ruthless soldiers, led by the general who looked like a god of murder, were fighting hard against countless demons.
"Undead Army?!"
Wu Liang exclaimed.
"How do you know the name of this army?" Zhou You asked a little strangely.
"Look at that flag, it's an ancient Chinese character from the Zhou Dynasty, which translates to the word immortal." Wu Liang explained.
"Why have I never heard of this undead army?" Zhou You frowned.
Wu Liang sighed rarely: "During the Eternal Night Period, the human race was in turmoil. Many history books were destroyed and lost. Almost no information was preserved. It can be said to be a blank. We know that such a period existed, but we don't know what happened in it.
story."
Zhou You also nodded thoughtfully.
In my memory, not to mention the Eternal Night period of the human race, even the records of the Great Zhou Dynasty are mediocre, with only a few words coming back and forth.
Only the historical context of the Dayin Dynasty is relatively clear.
The third mural.
It was a young emperor wearing a dragon robe, leading officials and ministers to worship at the altar of heaven to welcome the return of the general.
The content of this mural is worth pondering.
All the officials and ministers looked frightened.
The young emperor looked hesitant.
The general wore a bronze mask with a ghost face, and his expression was invisible.
"This emperor should be the surviving Emperor of Zhou Dynasty." Wu Liang analyzed.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty had a profound foundation and it was completely impossible to completely destroy it all at once.
"So, this general can be regarded as a hero who helped the building turn the tide from its collapse." Zhou You nodded lightly.
My eyes came to the fourth mural.
This mural was destroyed.
No content is left.
It seems like someone deliberately erased the traces.
Zhou You and Taoist Wu Liang looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
No need to guess, it must have been erased by the general who cheated.
"It seems that he doesn't want people to know his true identity and the contents of the fourth mural." Zhou You exhaled softly.
This fourth mural must contain some shocking secret.
It is most likely about his resurrection from the dead.
However, Zhou You also knows that these things are not something that he can participate in now.
Just report it honestly.
Next, Zhou You and Taoist Wu Liang walked around the dark square again and left the ancient tomb after finding nothing else.
When they got out of the tomb hole again, they found it was getting brighter.
The hot and dazzling sunshine is scattered on the body.
It actually makes traveling around feel like you're in another world.
It was obvious that he had only stayed in the ancient tomb for one night.
"Lord Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Pang Baotou had already led a group of officers and soldiers around the entrance of the tomb. Seeing Yu who was covered in blood and riddled with holes, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
He had seen the strength of this demon slayer with his own eyes.
What terrible thing is hidden under this ancient tomb that can hurt Zhou You like this?
Zhou You said weakly: "Send someone to seal off this ancient tomb. No one is allowed to enter, including you."
The less people know about this ancient tomb, the better.
Soon there may still be some resentful spirits remaining down there, which ordinary government officials cannot deal with.
"Yes!" Pang Patou nodded heavily, and then quickly asked someone to send Zhou You back to the county government office for treatment.
.......
There was no light in the dark square.
A collapsed headless statue, an empty black coffin, and a cold snake corpse.
It looks eerie and penetrating.
Ta-ta-ta~
A dull metallic sound sounded in the depths of darkness, breaking the eerie silence.
An iron boot slowly stretched out from the darkness.
The outline of a figure exuding the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared vaguely.
