The cold fog on the river continues to thicken, and the surrounding temperature gradually becomes lower.
At the same time, the number of corpses floating on the river is still increasing.
Uncle Lin, who was standing with Master Jingchan, noticed something was wrong with Master Jingchan's expression. His white eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, so he asked about the situation.
Master Jingchan replied: "We must be careful, these mist are not simple, the Buddhist wisdom of the poor monks is blinded, and they cannot see the truth..."
Uncle Lin's face changed: "Master, if you see something, you might as well say it. Whether it is real or an illusion, we will be able to distinguish it."
Master Jingchan: "The poor monk can feel that there is also the entanglement of cause and effect here, and it is heavier than in the ancient gods..."
Uncle Lin just nodded and said nothing.
"Uncle Lin, the underground river seems to have become shallower, and the dark eddy current under the paddle is not as strong as it was at the beginning." Jin An looked up at Uncle Lin at this time.
"Is it because we are about to reach the shore?" Master Jingchan said. Unfortunately, when the three of them stretched their heads to look at the bottom of the river, it was all dark and they still found nothing.
Until a pile of phosphorus fire appeared in front of them, and when they got closer, they realized that it was actually a pile of corpses higher than the river surface.
The piles of corpses are all corpses of the Yushi concubine clan with black skin, braided hair, and complex tattoos on their skin. These are non-rotting corpses. The phosphorus fire formed by the large piles of corpses is like a torch, extending into the depths of the cold mist.
The phosphorus fire, with its eerie green color, barely illuminated this dark and humid cave world, and also illuminated the scene below the river surface.
One after another, swollen faces appeared under the water, their cold eyes staring directly at the canoe paddling past their heads.
It turns out that it is not that the river has become shallow and is about to reach the shore, but that there are a large number of corpses of the Rain Master Concubine clan stranded here, and these piles of corpses have slowed down the rapid water flow.
Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people and were not frightened by this scene.
Jin An calmly thought and whispered: "Weird."
"What's weird?" Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan looked at it at the same time.
"It stands to reason that male floating corpses should face up and female floating corpses should face down. However, the Yushi concubines we met along the way all have their faces facing up. Whether they are floating corpses or sunken corpses, they all face up. This is not normal."
Jin An expressed his doubts.
"Perhaps the annihilation of Yushi's concubine clan is abnormal in itself." Uncle Lin said in a calm voice.
"Yeah." Jin An didn't object and nodded thoughtfully.
"How many corpses would be needed to fill up the river?" Master Jingchan said with an unbearable look on his face, clasped his hands and recited the salvation sutra.
"Mass graves." Jin An's four short words made Master Jingchan's face become even more unbearable.
The canoe was still moving along the iron chain, and the air was quiet and depressing. Suddenly, Jin An spoke again: "Uncle Lin, Master, have you noticed that there does not seem to be a giant horseshoe crab in this place?"
Jin An was reminded of this detail, which made both of them startled. They used the phosphorus fire to illuminate the corpses and carefully observed the floating corpses under the river surface.
It is true that the human face is intact, there is no body with a cut face, and no traces of the activity of the giant horseshoe crab.
It stands to reason that with so many corpses here, it would be more favored by giant horseshoe crabs and would be parasitized by very large horseshoe crabs, but something went wrong.
"It seems that Taoist Master Jin'an was right. The Yushi concubine family and the people who built the ancient temple are two groups of people, so there is no shadow of the giant horseshoe crab here." Master Jingchan said thoughtfully.
"But this leaves more doubts that cannot be explained. Why is the mysterious stone chamber of the Ancient God's Palace connected to this place? Why is the Ancient God's Palace built above the water burial cemetery of the Yushi Concubine clan?"
After a short discussion, the three of them summarized the records in ancient books that they had read, and came to a relatively logical conclusion——
It is said that in the ancient mythological era, Yushi Concubine assisted the Yellow Emperor in attacking Chiyou. If this ancient divine temple was built by the Yushi Concubine family, it would explain why so many gods were enshrined in the ancient divine temple. The Yellow Emperor
As the Human Emperor, he has as many gods and demon generals as the stars in the sky, each of which illuminates the ancient land. Among them, the most popular among the people are Li Mu, Zhu Rong, Hou Tu, Cang Jie, Feng Hou, Rain God, Han Ba, etc.
The first generation master of the Guixu Divine Realm should be Donghuang Taiyi, the Shaoyang Lord of the Purple Mansion of Donghua.
After Donghuangtai ascended to the sky, the Yushi Concubine, a witch clan who was good at controlling water, should be the second or third generation owner, and built this ancient temple in the Guixu Divine Realm for worship and enshrinement.
god.
But something unexpected happened later, and the Yushi concubine family died, and they were trapped in the same place for eternity, unable to turn around. Even the ancient gods that enshrined the gods were dead, destroyed by the weapons of the law of cause and effect, and they could not escape after death.
Tranquility is entangled in karma and karma.
At this time, the Guixu Divine Realm became a land without an owner. That is to say, during this vacuum period, the Guixu Divine Realm welcomed its next owner. It is very likely that he was the person who arranged the Shaoyang Bureau of Duan Tian Jue Di. It is possible.
It was these people who discovered the water burial cemetery of the Yushi concubine family and laid down the few iron chains that led to the way.
But I don’t know what happened later, which caused even this group of people to perish or disappear. Maybe it was related to the karma and karma in the ancient gods? Being contaminated by the karma in the ancient gods, they made the same mistakes as the Yushi Concubine family.
?
I don’t know how many years have passed, but Guixu Divine Realm has welcomed the last group of people to settle in. This group of people has brought unique changes to Guixu Divine Realm, such as giant horseshoe crabs with human faces, corpse burial pits, and human sacrifices...
That's why they saw two completely different styles in the ancient gods.
As for the purpose of these people, it is still unknown, but it is obvious that the final ending of these people is the same as that of the Yushi Concubine clan and those who arranged the Shaoyang Bureau.
From then on, the Guixu Divine Realm deep in the bottomless valley of the East China Sea fell into a period of chaos and chaos. During this period, several forces successively found the Guixu Divine Realm in the chaotic and chaotic period, but they were all annihilated without making a big wave.
Return to dust.
It seems that no one who enters the Guixu Divine Realm will have a good death. No wonder there are very few records about the Guixu Divine Realm from the outside world, and few people can find the location of the Guixu Divine Realm.
While they were talking, the canoe moved forward for a while in the cold fog, and the three of them discovered that the number of floating corpses drifting from the upper reaches was finally decreasing.
This is a good sign, indicating that they are not far from landing.
The number of floating corpses on the river decreased, but the number of sunken corpses increased dramatically, and even the phosphorescent light increased until hanging corpses appeared above their heads.
Those hanging corpses were wrapped in shrouds and turned into mummies, and those out of the water were hung on the cave ceiling. It seemed that this unique way was used to declare that these corpses were different! Or it was a warning to outsiders to use this as a boundary and not to
Moving forward!
Even the chill in the air seems to be getting heavier!
The three of them took a canoe, followed the iron chain in mid-air, and continued to row carefully into the depths of the cold fog, holding their breath and concentrating without saying anything...
