Chapter 385: Exploring the Nine-story Demonic Tower
After sending away the obstructive Shirley Yang, Hao Shuai quickly climbed up to the first floor of the demon building.
The first floor is an open area with no walls and only a few pillars. There is a corpse tied to the four sides of each pillar.
It can be seen from the degree of decomposition of the corpses that these people should have been hanged after being killed, otherwise there would only be some powder left.
Hao Shuai didn't express any emotion about the burial system of the Demon Kingdom. Anyway, the person who died was not a flower grower (not at that time).
There is nothing noteworthy (valuable) on the entire first floor. The only thing that seems to be of some value is the necklaces around the necks of the corpses. They are all made of Dzi beads, turquoise, etc.
But it was only valuable in the 21st century, and it is not popular now.
Hao Shuai, who had gained nothing, climbed up the stairs to the second floor. On this floor, there were no dead people buried with him. There were only some cow heads piled into mani piles. They only had gray skulls and horns. This should be the worship of cows, because
The whole body of the yak is a treasure on the plateau. In ancient Tibet, no matter which tribe it is, it is only on this point that it is relatively unified.
The third floor is filled with wordless ghost flags with star patterns. The star pattern is divided into five colors: red, blue, white, green, and black. Black ghost flags are the most common, and blue is the least.
According to his memories, Hao Shuai knew that the colors of these ghost flags represented different beliefs, but he didn't pay much attention to them and went directly to the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor of the demon tower, there are countless pebbles engraved with different symbols. They may be the legendary sutra stones. They may be valuable to the archaeologists Professor Chen and others. In Hao Shuai's eyes, they are just piles of rotten stones.
Out of support for Professor Chen's archaeological career, Hao Shuai kindly took three or four stones with him and took pictures of the rest one by one with his camera to give to Professor Chen and others later.
Hao Shuai, who had found nothing so far, quickened his pace and walked up level by level. It was not until the eighth level that he discovered that there were several stone coffins placed on this level.
Hao Shuai guessed that these should be the coffins of the concubines who were buried with them. After all, we can't let the leader of the Demon Kingdom go on the road alone!
Although he knew that there should be some valuable funerary objects in the coffin, Hao Shuai was not Fatty Wang's person who opened his eyes when he saw the coffin. It was pitiful that these people were forced to be buried with them during their lives, but they should feel at ease after their death.
Sleep forever!
When Hao Shuai went up to the last floor, he saw a large round stone platform in the middle. On the stone platform was a huge human-shaped sarcophagus, like a mummy.
In Hao Shuai's perception, all the Yin Qi and resentment in the entire nine-story demon building were gathered here.
Having already reached this point, Hao Shuai didn't hesitate. He directly grabbed the corner of the coffin lid and exerted force suddenly.
"Ka~ka~"
With a few crisp sounds, the nails on the coffin lid were lifted one by one.
Just when Hao Shuai was about to lift the coffin lid in one breath, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have forgotten to light a candle in the southeast corner.
But then he shook his head, forgetting that he was a Taoist priest from Maoshan, and he was afraid of some stupid ghost blowing the lamp.
If there really are ghosts who dare to come, they should be taken into custody, captured and given a lesson before they are saved.
"Bang~"
The coffin lid was knocked over and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a pungent fishy smell wafted out of the coffin.
Fortunately, Hao Shuai was well prepared and directly wrapped himself with his mind power to isolate the stench.
After the stench gradually dissipated, Hao Shuai looked inside the coffin.
Poor~~
This was Hao Shuai's first reaction. He is so poor~~
Who would have thought that in the coffin of the dignified monarch of the Demonic Kingdom, there was only a rotten robe covering the body that had turned into white bones, and there was nothing else in the whole coffin.
Huh~
Just when Hao Shuai was disappointed, he noticed some bulges on the right side of the corpse and on the chest.
Curious, Hao Shuai used his mind to lift up the rotting robe, and saw a golden scepter placed on the right side of the corpse.
This scepter is inlaid with large and small gems, and the top is inlaid with an eye-shaped ruby. It can be said to be of excellent quality.
Good guy~~
Didn’t the monarch of the Demon Kingdom turn all his possessions into this scepter?
As soon as Hao Shuai got his hands on it, he knew that it was a golden scepter made of gold. With the various gems on it, it could be said to be priceless.
After putting the scepter into the space without hesitation, Hao Shuai opened the robe on his chest and found that there was a bead about five centimeters in diameter with a dark appearance placed on his heart.
As soon as he got this bead, Hao Shuai couldn't help but shudder. Suddenly he felt like he was about to be frozen, and it was the kind of cold that penetrated deep into his soul.
Only then did Hao Shuai realize that this bead actually condensed a massive amount of Yin Qi and resentment, and was still absorbing the Yin Qi from the outside world.
No wonder Hao Shuai felt that the Yin Qi and other things in the nine-story demon building were gathered here. The reason was here!
"Ah·~~~"
Just as Hao Shuai was studying what the black beads were, a loud cry echoed in the cave.
"Buzz buzz~~"
Immediately afterwards, there was a buzzing sound of the vibrating wings of insects, and the fire ladybug perched on the nine-story demon tower seemed to be awakened by the sound.
"Damn it! Which idiot yelled that?"
Seeing this scene, Hao Shuai jumped down from the nine-story height without hesitation. As soon as he landed, Hao Shuai ran towards where Hu Bayi and the others were, and asked at the same time.
: "Lao Hu, what's going on?"
"The devil, it's not the troublesome Professor Chen and the others who did it."
It turned out that the person who screamed just now was Sa Di Peng. He lost his balance while studying and fell into the burial ditch. By chance, his palm was scratched by the bones in the ditch, and then he screamed.
"Old Hu, it's useless to say this now. Protect them and leave first. I'll come to the rear. Quick~quick~quick~" Hao Shuai urged.
Under Hao Shuai's urging, Professor Chen and the others, with the help of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, hurriedly escaped from the cave and headed for the exit.
At this time, the fire ladybug in the nine-story demon tower had completely awakened, and blue fireballs like countless bright lights lit up, reflecting the entire underground space in the cave in blue!
By the time Hao Shuai arrived at the entrance of the cave, countless fire ladybugs had turned into balls of blue fireballs and were heading straight for Hao Shuai.
"Xuanming Divine Palm!"
A huge slap made of true energy slapped the fire ladybugs in the air, instantly scattering the huge blue fireball formed by hundreds of fire ladybugs. Most of the fire ladybugs were killed by the slap on the spot.
A small number of them were frozen to death by the cold air of Xuanming Divine Palm.
"It's a pity that I don't know the Sky Frost Fist. Otherwise, I could freeze the entire cave with just one move of the Frost Snow Ice Mountain, which would save trouble!" Hao Shuai, who was not very satisfied with the results of the battle, said depressedly.
Hao Shuai used his body as a screen to seal the entire entrance of the cave. Even if thousands of fire ladybugs collided, they would not be able to break through, buying time for Hu Bayi and the others to retreat.
However, there are indeed too many fire ladybugs, and one group dies and another one comes.
Because the fire ladybug was a purely physical attack and could not burn through the telepathy barrier, Hao Shuai simply used telepathy to seal the hole and allowed the fire ladybug to hit the telepathy barrier.
During this period, out of curiosity, Hao Shuai used a large glass cover to catch a batch of fire ladybugs alive, intending to study what they were.
After feeling that time was almost up, Hao Shuai used all his strength to attack the mountains on both sides.
"Boom"
"Boom"
Following two explosions, the rocks collapsed, completely burying the cave entrance.
After cutting off the fire ladybug's pursuit, Hao Shuai sent the captured fire ladybug alive to the paradise world, and then returned to pursue Hu Bayi and the others.
