After traveling for a day, everyone was exhausted. The bearded man and a few people went to bed early after eating some hot food.
A bonfire was crackling on the ground, dispelling the darkness of the snow-capped mountains and warming people's cold hands and feet.
These firewood were all pulled out from the smashed ruins of Tubo Emperor's temple. There is no shortage of well-carved wooden platforms, wooden seats, and wooden frames in the temple... From this, we can see that Tubo Emperor was originally built.
The scale is huge.
Seeing these people skillfully pulling out wood from the rubble to use as firewood further confirmed Headless Jin'an's conjecture that the murderers who smashed Tubo Emperor Shenyu were part of a group, even if they were not the few in front of them.
.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Emperor Tubo, who is in charge of the underworld, did not protect a few people in the snowy mountains.
After all, you have torn down the statues of the gods. It is already very magnanimous for the gods not to anger you, a blasphemer.
Moreover, even if the statues of gods are gone, it will be impossible to manifest the dharma body of the saint in the human world. Naturally, it will be impossible to observe the sufferings of the human world, exorcise evil spirits and punish harm.
These are all causal cycles.
You reap what you sow, and this is true for all things.
Headless Jin'an ignored the rest of the group and walked back to the entrance of the dark cave. He stood still and stared at the entrance, as if he was looking through the deep darkness and wanted to find clues to the Immortal Cauldron from the bottom of the cave.
When he saw the demolished ruins of Emperor Tubo's temple and then looked at the cave in front of him, Wutou Jinan had an extra suspicion in his mind.
It stands to reason that this cave is buried deep under the foundation of Shenyu, and it is impossible for anyone to discover the secret passage. The Immortal Cauldron of Gewu will be permanently sealed in a dark and airtight underground in a foreign country, and no one will care about it. This is a seamless demon sealing plan.
It's just that the predecessors underestimated it. This is a foreign country. No one in Kangding Kingdom can find it. However, the people in this land also lack the knowledge of Emperor Tubo.
When people with fanatical beliefs see that other gods are enshrined here, they will vent their anger and smash them to show their devout belief in the local gods.
The Demon Sealed Cave, which originally never saw the light of day, was accidentally discovered due to smashing, which led to a series of subsequent changes.
Nothing in this world is perfect.
After thinking about this, the headless Jin'an jumped into the dark cave. This jump was like stepping through the gate of hell, and the temperature in the cave dropped sharply.
The cold wind pierced my bones.
The cold wind in the snowy mountains is dry and cold, and the coldness in the cave is damp and cold. No matter how many layers of clothes you wear, you still can't stop the coldness in your bones and the loss of body temperature.
It's just that in this coldness, there is something different, like a lot of accumulated turbid corpse gas.
The bottom of the cave was not deep, about two feet deep. Since there was no head or naked eyes, it saved the naked eyes the process of adapting to the darkness. Under the illumination of the cyan candlelight of the soul-inducing lamp in his hand, he could clearly see the environment in the cave at a glance.
Corpse!
Many corpses piled up under the cave!
The corpses were piled one on top of another, so densely packed that they were too numerous to count.
It is estimated that there are at least five hundred corpses.
So many corpses were piled up under the foundation of Emperor Tubo's divine temple, under the control of Emperor Tubo.
The snow-capped mountains are not conducive to the decomposition of corpses, so these corpses have become air-dried mummies with a layer of frost on the surface.
The claustrophobic environment did not affect the headless Jin'an's spiritual inspection at all. He quickly noticed that these mummies had two characteristics in common.
First, they are all soldiers wearing light armor of the Kangding Navy.
Second, they all had abdominal distension, and each one of them turned into a mummy. Instead of collapsing and shrinking, their stomachs were still bulging.
This result surprised Headless Jin An.
Unexpectedly, this is the burial place of the Shenzhou Fleet, and the Gelwu Immortal Cauldron was not found here.
It’s no wonder that a sacred shrine of Tubo Emperor was set up here, which was specially used to suppress corpses and ward off evil spirits and evil spirits.
When he first saw those pot-bellied corpses, he had already guessed that the cause of death of these people was that they were possessed by evil spirits and suffered from cannibalism during their lifetimes.
With such a large-scale burial pit and the number of possessed corpses, it seems that a large-scale civil strife broke out in the Shenzhou fleet.
In the end, only one Shenzhou returned from a large fleet composed of dozens of ships. It is not difficult to guess that even if the civil strife is successfully suppressed, it will be a very costly victory.
Headless Jin An noticed that there were some corpses scattered on the ground, and these corpses had obvious signs of being picked and searched.
It seems that someone wants to make a fortune by killing someone.
Headless Jin An raised his neck slightly and glanced at the bearded men above the cave.
No wonder these people dare to spend the night here. It turns out that they have stolen corpses and looted the dead people here, and they know that the dead people here will not fake corpses.
"The corpses in this burial pit are stacked so densely that I wish they were all filled. If we follow normal logic, there are more than one burial pits on this land of ice and snow that match the sacred temple of Tubo the Great."
If the fleet really suffered heavy casualties, it would be impossible to bury so many people in one grave.
Just as he was looking at the layout of the burial pit in detail, there was a creak...a creak...
It was dark and cold, and there was a slight sound coming from the grave pit filled with white ice corpses. The sound was very soft. At first it sounded like the grinding sounds of mice secretly gnawing on wooden beams in the dead of night. When I listened again, I realized that the sound came from
At your feet, listen carefully to the sound of eating ice corpses. Something is eating the corpses here!
Headless Jin An landed on the ground and silently walked to the source of the sound. The sound of gnawing came from the bottom of a pile of corpses. Without alerting the snake, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and quietly dug up the frozen soil beneath his feet.
These permafrost layers are as hard as steel and cannot be cut through with swords and axes, but this is not an ordinary steel knife in his hand. The magic weapon that can cut iron as well as mud can easily dig up the permafrost layers.
As the hole he dug in the permafrost grew larger, the sounds of corpse-gnawing became clearer. Finally, he dug a crack in the ground under the pile of corpses. In the crack, there was a human face hiding under the pile of corpses, biting greedily.
,chew.
The human face did not notice that someone was holding a green candlelight lantern and paying attention to him at this moment. The human face was still chewing on the corpse. The corpse was frozen hard in the cold weather, and the teeth made a sharp grinding sound. Every bite
The next piece of dead human flesh has to be bitten off several layers of ice shards, and the dead human flesh and ice shards are chewed in the mouth.
The dead here were piled densely, and someone ate the corpses from the bottom, which broke the balance of the corpse pile. The pile of corpses in the burial pit collapsed, and a large number of ice corpses flowed down like a white mudslide.
If the headless Jin An hadn't been alert at all times, he would have avoided the fate of being buried alive in a pile of corpses.
Creak——
Creak——
The low sound of gnawing corpses was still there, but it didn't stop him from continuing to gnaw greedily at corpses. It was like the sound of rats gnawing at beams and grinding their teeth in the middle of the night. The man patted the corpse through the wall, only to be quiet for a while and then grind his teeth in place.
But that's fine, it saves him having to find it all over again.
Just when he was about to dig out the face again, the bearded man and the others heard the noise and threw down a torch to check the situation.
