Chapter 1171 Corpse Expelling Talisman and Mandrill
After passing through the Hall of Hades, you will find the collapsed underground palace. Fortunately, not all of the underground palace was buried, and people can still pass through it.
Jin An quickly figured out the cause of the collapse of the underground palace, which was not caused by geological disasters but man-made, because he found traces of gunpowder blasting.
What gunpowder blasts is a diamond wall.
The Diamond Wall is a slang term in the tomb robbing industry. It is commonly known as Sanhetu among the people. The Diamond Wall is made of glutinous rice, clay and copper juice. It has lasted for thousands of years and has not collapsed. It is also waterproof and moisture-proof.
The Vajra is said to be indestructible. Even if you use a knife, shovel and ax to dig out a hole in this Vajra wall for a year, the corresponding cost is high. A bowl of Sanhe soil can be exchanged for several bowls of meat.
Although the Vajra Wall is not afraid of swords, guns, swords and axes, it is afraid of the explosion of ancient warlocks' gunpowder, which is now called alchemist's gunpowder. As long as the amount of gunpowder is sufficient, you can blast the Vajra Wall no matter how thick it is.
It's like the diamond wall in front of you was blown out with a large hole several people wide. The result was that a large amount of gunpowder was used underground, which caused a geological disaster and caused the tomb to collapse.
Jin An took a look at the thickness of the diamond wall and found that it was several feet thick. It was possible to blow a big hole out of such a thick diamond wall. Jin An had a conjecture in his mind. This technique was not like the technique of a folk tomb robber, but rather something from ancient times.
Hand of the Alchemist?
Because only ancient magicians can refine so much gunpowder.
Jin An passed through the hole in the Vajra Wall that spread like a spider web and entered the interior of the Vajra Wall. If he could build such a thick Vajra Wall at any cost, the inside must be the main tomb chamber.
There is no coffin in the King Kong Wall, but there is a jade bed. I don’t know whether the jade bed has been soaked in corpse liquid, whether it is black or red, and the surface is covered with a large number of colorful mold spots spreading like spider webs. Even this jade bed
It was once precious, but now it has become an abandoned object.
The tomb owner was not found on the jade bed, but instead he saw a three-legged bronze furnace with lifelike three-legged golden crows carved on its surface.
Looking at the three-legged bronze furnace, Jin An was startled. How could this thing look like an alchemy furnace?
What he discovered next surprised him even more: he actually found human bones in the three-legged bronze furnace.
"Human bones?"
"There is both a jade bed and an alchemy furnace in the tomb, and the human bones are not on the jade bed but in the alchemy furnace. This layout is too abrupt. Could it be that an ancient warlock opened the diamond wall and made it inconvenient to move it?
The corpse, directly move the alchemy furnace into the diamond wall, and use the owner of the tomb as a medicine introduction to make elixirs?"
As for what kind of elixir to make, Jin An has already guessed about eighty-five percent.
Think of the tomb-suppressing beast outside, the huge Hades Palace, and the expensive diamond wall. The owner of this tomb has an extraordinary status. There is most likely a way to keep his body incorruptible, and then be taken away by ancient warlocks.
Made the elixir of longevity.
Never underestimate the despicability of human nature before the temptation of immortality.
"If there really were ancient sorcerers who stole corpses to refine immortality pills, it is easy to understand why only the bones are left in the pill furnace. It is like cooking food and stewing soup. Flesh and blood are the essence, and only the bones are left in the end." As if to verify.
Jin An's guess was that Jin An found a lot of residue in the alchemy furnace, which looked like the residue left after the medicinal materials were made into elixirs.
Of course, after so many years, even the dregs of medicine have rotted into black peat.
While Jin An was still lowering his head to inspect the medicine residue and human bones in the alchemy furnace, suddenly, the flame of the torch in his hand shook.
Jin An glanced at the torch. He continued to keep his head lowered, his expression was focused, and he did not look back behind him.
There was one more person in the reflection of the torch on the ground, and the figure was gradually enlarging, and there was a person slowly approaching behind him.
Jin An's attention was still attracted by the alchemy furnace, and he didn't seem to notice that there was a person silently appearing behind him.
The person behind him was also very courageous. Seeing that Jin An had not noticed him, he was still creeping closer to Jin An.
This kind of silent approach indicates that the person coming is evil and wants to sneak attack him from behind.
Jin An glanced at the ground from the corner of his eyes and continued to maintain a focused expression. He finally waited for the opportunity. When the person behind him was about to prepare to attack him, Jin An suddenly turned around and took a torch to shine behind him.
The person behind him never expected that Jin An would suddenly turn around and face it. It was so anxious that it fell on all fours and tried to escape in panic.
This man was wearing a hat, and it turned out to be the mysterious man he met before. The brim of his hat was lowered so low that Jin An could not see his face clearly for the time being.
But one thing is certain, this man is not tall, only reaching his chest and abdomen.
Jin An suppressed his inner curiosity, and when he saw that the other party was about to escape in a panic, he immediately took action forcefully.
The other party still wanted to struggle in vain, but he did not expect that today a martial arts immortal and masters of the three realms would come to arrest him.
Only then did Jin An realize that the so-called person was not a real person, nor was it the walking corpse he imagined. It was actually a mandrill.
There are many folk legends about mandrills. Most of them say that mandrills like to imitate people's behavior, imitate people's clothes, and always like to wear certain hats. They are selfish in character and like to play tricks on people and steal.
The mandrill struggled violently in Jin An's eyes, his hat fell off, and his clothes that were a few sizes too big and didn't fit him slipped off, revealing a monkey with a black face and red eyes.
The mandrill was still struggling, baring its teeth at Jin An, looking as ferocious as a ghost, and his eyes were particularly vicious, just like a human being.
When Jin An picked up the mandrill with one hand, he had already noticed that the mandrill monkey was not a living creature. In fact, it was a corpse, full of corpse air and rotting stench.
"Corpse puppet? Corpse puppet?"
"Is there a corpse chaser in this tomb?"
Jin An saw Mandrill struggling violently and wanted to bite his palm several times. Unable to communicate calmly, he did not hesitate. He took out a dagger and stabbed it into the back of Mandrill's head. He dug out a corpse-repelling talisman folded into a triangle shape and soaked in blood.
Not moving anymore.
Thinking that there might be a corpse chaser hiding in this underground tomb, Jin An became even more interested. He wanted to know the purpose of this corpse chaser hiding here, so after killing the mandrill, he cast seventy-two
He changed the corpse exorcism technique and asked Mandrill to take him to find the corpse exorcist.
Under the effect of the corpse exorcism technique, the mandrill was temporarily "resurrected", filled with flesh and blood, and all wounds were healed. Then he turned around and ran out of the hole in the diamond wall, running towards the other direction of this huge underground palace.
Jin An followed closely behind.
Jin An still underestimated the hugeness of this underground palace. If it weren't for Mandrill to lead the way, he might not be able to explore it all by himself in just a few days.
Precisely because the underground palace is huge, it is more suitable for Tibetans. You can hide hundreds of people without being discovered.
Some tunnels are even very secretive, hidden in the cracks of the mountain. Without a mandrill to lead the way, it is difficult to be discovered. However, these mountain cracks have also caused Jin An to suffer a little, and he often needs to get in and out of small spaces.
As he got closer to the target, he heard human voices, and there were more than one voice...
