"These people died in very strange ways. They all died in the same way, with their heads cut off. The heads and bodies were separated, without exception. The tomb owner was very cruel. He built a huge tomb and buried hundreds of thousands of lives."
Yi Tianxing glanced over the white bones.
All the bones had their heads and bodies separated. Although it was normal for the head and body to be separated when the bones turned into bones, he saw sharp fractures on the necks of these bones.
This is caused by the head being cut off by a sharp weapon. Under normal circumstances, such a break will not appear on the neck.
“Oh, that’s true.”
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the skeletons on the ground with surprise in his eyes, and said, "It seems that the tomb owner did not let these slaves and craftsmen slowly die of starvation, but ordered his men to execute them directly. He used the method of beheading. No wonder the resentment in these corpses is so strong. With so many people dying like this, and gathering in a mass grave, it is unknown, very unknown."
A trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
In this situation, something unexpected would definitely happen, and it would be easy for an evil ghost to appear. But now, only resentment could be seen, but no evil ghost. A strange aura emanated from the entire mass grave.
This is not normal.
Abnormal means there is a mystery involved.
"It is indeed a little abnormal. There is only resentment but no ghost energy. Either there is no evil spirit, or there is something else going on." Yi Tianxing nodded secretly. This was very strange. However, if there really was an evil spirit, his innate Yin-Yang eyes would definitely be able to see it. In terms of the ability to detect Yin and Yang, if the innate Yin-Yang eyes are second to none, no other pupil technique would dare to claim first place.
In the past, when people exorcised demons and hunted ghosts, they relied on the Yin-Yang Eyes, which ultimately enabled them to be successful and invincible.
Looking around, this mass grave is indeed a big pit.
There was an entrance in the sky behind, with a lot of water flowing down. Behind it was an underground river, and no one knew where it led to. There were mass graves all around, with bones piled up everywhere. At a glance, there were bones everywhere, and I'm afraid there were at least two or three miles around.
And in front of us is a cliff.
The cliff is very steep and it is quite difficult to climb up.
It can be said that this is a completely underground space. A very huge underground world. When the tomb was built, the underground was hollowed out. It is also possible that it was originally like this and has only been repaired. It cannot be seen in other places, but it can be seen that to leave the mass grave, the only way is to climb up the cliff. There is no other way.
There were no ropes on the cliff, so if you wanted to get up there, you had to climb up by yourself, with no other means of assistance.
Other monks can also see this.
Now, many monks have begun to climb up the cliff.
"It's just a cliff. It's not a problem for me."
A young woman with a pretty face obviously had no interest in standing in the mass grave and looking at the large number of bones. She had no intention of climbing up either. She took out a talisman.
When activated, the talisman directly turned into a breeze.
Covering its body, it suddenly rose up from the ground and rode the wind.
Talisman—Wind Control Talisman!!
The body can be enveloped by the breeze, rising from the ground and riding the wind. The duration is not long, but rushing to the top of the cliff is obviously not a problem.
“Ruyi Rope!!”
Not only did she have a way, but other monks also had their own methods. They only saw a golden rope appear in the hand of a middle-aged man. The rope flashed with a strange light, and when he waved his arm, it actually stretched outward at a rapid speed, strangely appearing at the top of the cliff and directly wrapped around it. Then, the whole rope contracted instantly, just like an elastic contraction rope.
The force of the contraction immediately pulled the middle-aged man up quickly, as if he was being hung up by a rope.
"That's a rare treasure. It's a natural advantage in rock climbing. It's a good thing, a really good thing."
When Ye Zhiqiu saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
A cliff cannot stop a cultivator with great skills.
"Friend Yi, someone has already gone up. We don't know what dangers this tomb contains. It feels extremely creepy to stay in this mass grave. Why don't we go up as well? Others have ways, but I, Ye Zhiqiu, am no pushover either. I have the earth escape technique, and I can take you directly to the cliff."
Ye Zhiqiu felt a burning sensation in his heart as he saw someone already climbing up the cliff.
Everyone who enters the tomb wants to get the treasures. No one wants to fall behind.
"Then we'll rely on Fellow Daoist Ye's Qimen Dunjia."
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, watch me."
Ye Zhiqiu grinned, stretched out his hand and patted Yi Tianxing on the shoulder. He exerted force with his hand, and suddenly a yellow light appeared on his body, covering both himself and Yi Tianxing. The bodies of the two people sank directly into the ground like fish touching water.
Yi Tianxing could see that there was dirt everywhere around him.
But the whole body seemed to be connected to the earth in an instant, and it was like a fish swimming in water, moving forward easily. Of course, outside the body, one could still feel the pressure coming from the earth. This pressure had a significant impact on the speed of movement.
This is the magic of the earth escape technique. Otherwise, if you enter the underground, even a monk will be crushed to death, buried alive, and covered by the thickness of the earth.
However, it seemed that because of carrying Yi Tianxing, the speed of escaping underground was not too fast, but it was much faster than the monks climbing the cliff. Yi Tianxing could feel that his body was constantly climbing upwards.
puff!!
Unconsciously, the pressure on my body disappeared in an instant. My body felt lighter. My vision became wider again.
"We're here. I didn't expect it would be so tiring to lead someone underground. My goodness, most of my energy has been used up. If we can't get to the top of the cliff, we'll be buried underground and can't get out."
As soon as he came out, Ye Zhiqiu felt limp all over and collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead.
The energy consumption of the earth escape technique when traveling underground while carrying someone with him is simply multiplied, and there is no way to sustain it for a long time. Fortunately, this is only a short-distance escape, otherwise, if he really runs out of energy halfway through and is completely buried underground and unable to get out, it would be a tragedy.
It is said that in history, many monks who practiced the art of escaping the earth escaped too deep and could not get out all of a sudden, so they were buried underground and died alive. It can be said that those who escaped the earth died in the earth.
Those who are good at water will drown in water!!
"Escape underground is risky, so be careful when leading others."
The first sentence that popped into Ye Zhiqiu's mind was:
If he wants to lead people to escape underground in the future, he must think carefully before doing so.
Never try to escape underground and die. That would be a real tragedy and death would be a big joke.
"This is for you. No one knows what dangers there are in the tomb. Recover your cultivation as soon as possible." Yi Tianxing saw it, shook his head slightly, and threw out a Tiangang Pill with a wave of his hand.
"What is it? Pills? This smell, it's an elixir. A perfect elixir, without any impurities. You actually have such a treasure." Ye Zhiqiu subconsciously grabbed the pill in his hand, looked at it carefully, and his eyes were full of excitement. An elixir, this is an elixir that only an alchemy master can make. After taking it, there is no impurity at all. It can be called a treasure.
It is almost impossible to see it normally, but I didn’t expect it to appear in his hands so easily.
This is just like a dream.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill. The true Qi consumed in his body was recovering at an astonishing speed. After taking one Tiangang Pill, not only his true Qi was restored, but his mind and even the amount of true Qi increased.
"Daoyou, do you have any more pills?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Yi Tianxing expectantly and asked urgently.
Yi Tianxing ignored it and looked ahead.
There is a platform on top of this cliff.
And on the platform, a chilling scene appeared before one's eyes.
An ancient platform stood in the center of the platform. It was unknown what material the platform was made of. It looked natural and all kinds of mysterious patterns could be seen engraved on the surface. For some reason, there seemed to be a strong smell of blood emanating from it, which filled the nose and made people feel nauseous.
On this high platform, there is a knife. It is a large knife with a ghost head. The blade is heavy and has a ghost head carved on the handle. It is very sharp and can cut gold and jade. There is a round opening on the back of the knife, and the shape is unique. On the blade, you can see strange knife patterns. The blade of this knife has turned bloody. It flashes with cold light, and it seems that you can hear countless wronged souls groaning and crying on it.
"Guillotine, ghost-head broadsword." Yi Tianxing's pupils condensed, and his Yin-Yang eyes could see endless resentment and hostility on the platform and the broadsword. The ghost-head broadsword was best at beheading, and it had always been the favorite broadsword of the executioner. This broadsword could cut off the head in one stroke, cleanly and neatly. It could be said to be a special tool for the executioner.
"The bloody smell on the guillotine has lasted for a thousand years. How much blood must have been stained to reach this level? Even the demon-headed sword was dyed blood red. How many people have been killed and how many heads have been chopped off with this sword? Could it be that all the bodies in the mass grave below were chopped off by this guillotine?"
Ye Zhiqiu's pupils contracted violently and he was frightened by the platform in front of him.
A strong sense of foreboding echoed in my mind.
Looking at this guillotine and the demon-head sword, the feeling becomes even stronger.
A knife, once used to kill people, can generate evil spirits and contain murderous aura. If it kills hundreds or thousands of people, it becomes a murder weapon. If it kills tens or hundreds of thousands of people, even if it was originally just an insignificant knife, it will become the most terrifying murderous knife.
That was a murderous knife forged with blood.
In particular, no one could predict what kind of changes this fierce knife would undergo after being tempered and nurtured by the power of Feng Shui in this Feng Shui treasure land where dragons and phoenixes meet.
