Chapter 46: Corpse Flower Poisoning, Tomb of King Guangchuan
I fell asleep in a daze and had a very long dream. In the dream was a deserted land with strong winds. A young man was lying on a piece of gravel. He lay naked on it, breathing very weakly.
After a long time, a white shadow came. She was wearing a straw hat, her mouth and nose were covered by a white gauze, and she couldn't see her face clearly. She came to the boy and stood still, bent down and stretched out her hand to touch the boy's cheek.
Then he suddenly sighed, "You owe me a favor!" After saying that, he waved his jade hand, and a few fluorescent light appeared on the boy's body.
After doing all this, the woman turned around and left without looking back, gradually disappearing in front of her eyes. The boy coughed, struggled, and looked at the direction of the woman leaving.
"I will repay you"
He muttered and suddenly turned his eyes to me.
"You're here"
"Me?" I was shocked, my face full of panic, and I was inexplicably at a loss when I looked at him.
"Do we know me?"
I asked softly.
"us……………"
"Nine, wake up quickly!"
Xiao Shi's voice came anxiously. I suddenly opened my eyes, sat up, and gasped with my eyes open.
It took me a long time to feel relieved. I looked at Xiao Shi, "What's wrong with me?"
"Corpse Flower Poison, you are infected with the corpse Flower Poison"
Xiao Shi said slowly, his words really scared me. This corpse flower is different from a ghost flower. The ghost flower blooms in front of the Shura Tower, but this corpse flower blooms in the Soul Burial Mountain. It contains terrible toxins in its body. Generally, people who inhale the fragrance of corpse flowers can basically go to the underworld to report it.
I touched my body a few times in a hurry, and then slapped myself hard until I felt the scorching pain on my cheeks, and the suspended heart calmed down.
Xiao Shiyi looked at me with a look of surprise, suddenly burst into laughter, and said intermittently, "There are people in the world who beat me so hard."
"How did you do it?" I was too lazy to pay attention to my embarrassment. The old man told me that it was helpless, but I was safe and sound!
"Born of anti-toxic bodies"
Xiao Shi continued to laugh.
"You think I will believe your nonsense, why don't you say that you are invincible!" I said dissatisfied with the guy's eyes.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Xiao Shi smiled enough and patted his chest to make it smooth. "The blood of our tribe can relieve all poisons in addition to the poison of heaven, so I gave you my blood."
Xiao Shi was a little proud, and then I realized that this little guy was covered in treasures. He suddenly had his eyes that were lit up and could not help but stared at him.
"What are you doing? I tell you not to make any decisions, otherwise I will die to show you."
His body trembled by my eyes, and his former dignity disappeared in an instant, "Can I tell you, am I teasing you?"
Looking at his frightened eyes, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was said that the feng shui took turns, and now it's time for me to have fun.
"Just show off hard." Xiao Shimeng was a little embarrassed and turned her head and said hatefully, "There is a corpse flower on the river bank. If you are poisoned later, you will throw you into the river water, flow down the water, and feed the fish, corpse and raccoon."
Looking at his dissatisfied and helpless expression, I felt it was novel, but I knew that I could stop laughing, so I patted my chest with a soreness, "I just made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, don't go to my heart."
That's it, but the uncovered smile still betrayed me. Xiao Shi glanced at me and muttered, "How about it, I don't know what kind of virtue you are. Hurry up and go and see the altar on the side of the corpse flower!"
"Altar? You said there is an altar over there?"
I was overjoyed and met the altar again, proving that I was getting closer to the destination. This made me excited. I jumped up from the ground, grabbed my backpack and rushed out.
The road ahead was very straight and flat, with beautiful murals carved along the way, all recording the scenes of sacrifice. One of the large ones records a row of men kneeling in front of a square altar. Behind them were soldiers holding long swords. There was a wizard in formal clothes on the altar. In the next picture, you can see that everyone's heads fell to the ground, and the soldiers standing behind them were all in their heads, just like the guards of hell.
"Nine, there are words engraved here, please take a look."
Xiao Shi suddenly said on the side, and I hurried over. He was at the end of the mural. The mural was remembered from the beginning of the sacrifice until the end of the sacrifice, and completely recorded the entire sacrifice process.
I saw that the sacrifice had ended on the last mural. At this time, it was not a wizard standing on the altar, but a man in luxurious clothes.
He was one head taller than everyone, and everyone was kneeling, and the row of soldiers who had just been beheaded knelt in front of him, two of them seemed to hold something in their hands, a bit like a knife, but not, given that they were between the knife and the sword.
The man stretched out a hand and waved it to the soldier, then the thing slowly lifted up and flew into the spinning sky above.
After the things flew into the sky and disappeared, the style immediately changed. The row of soldiers turned into wolf-shaped and human-faced hell warriors all covered in fire. They waved their weapons and roared at the man on the altar with excitement.
At the end of the mural, a row of very small characters are carefully carved. Even though it is old, it is still clearly visible. I shine the flashlight on it and climb on the stone wall to watch.
Xiao Shi was quite impatient, and his small eyes were spinning back and forth between me and the stone wall, but he couldn't help but speak, "Do you know me?"
"This thing records the sacrifice a thousand years ago. It is said that a monk named Xiu built this large cemetery for Liu, the king of Guangchuan in the Western Han Dynasty. They held a human sacrifice here, hoping to summon the hell ghost soldiers underground to help them force into the Dragon Lock Tower."
"The Dragon Lock Tower really exists?" Xiao Shi was shocked. It was rumored before. Now the thousand-year-old murals are recorded. Moreover, King Guangchuan is extremely desolate in his daily life, but now he suddenly ran from the desert to build a tomb from the middle. It is enough to be puzzled. Now there are mural records again. The authenticity of the Dragon Lock Tower has become more credible in an instant.
"But according to King Guangchuan's financial resources, he shouldn't be able to build such a large tomb?"
At that time, King Guangchuan was a local emperor and could not afford such a large tomb. It not only took huge financial resources to come to the desert from the middle, but also where did he get the ten thousand corpses on the side of the Corpse Mountain?
And whether this tomb was his lying on the ground at the end was not something that a mural could explain.
"You don't know that in the history of China, although King Guangchuan was just a local emperor, he stole countless tombs."
"Don't lie to me," I retorted. I have read some history. When King Guangchuan went to rob the tomb, he was just for fun, and he was not short of that little money. After all, he was quite rich at that time, because under tyranny, the people were suffering and the emperor was prosperous.
After hearing what I said, Xiao Shi shook his head and thought for a while before saying, "If someone said he didn't take it, do you really think he didn't take it? This tomb will not record him frequently. As for the authenticity, I want to find his coffin, and you can open it and see it."
I think it is correct, so I nodded and continued to look down.
"After countless experiments, they finally used human sacrifices and actually borrowed the hell ghost soldiers..."
"What?" Xiaoshi said anxiously.
"Then it was gone, and this record ended here. It only records that they borrowed the ghost soldiers, and did not mention the rest."
"Let's go and see the altar, maybe there are clues there!"
Xiao Shi was a little disappointed, and I felt uncomfortable, and it felt a bit disgusting. However, knowing who this broken tomb belongs to is also considered good news!
We went down the stone wall and carried it along the river. The river opposite was lifted up, and there were indeed another row of corpses blooming, which were as dark as ink. There was a silver-white flowing between the leaves. In a row, I was afraid there were hundreds of flowers.
"This King of Guangchuan really wants to plant the three flowers of hell"
The three flowers in hell, the ghost flowers, the corpse flowers, and the red lotus. Now the second flowers appear, and I am really afraid that the third flowers will appear.
"Stop, shut your crow's mouth. If the red lotus appears, at our current level, if we don't die, we will lose our skin if we don't die!"
Xiao Shi was a little blamed. I also knew that the red lotus in hell is a taboo. After all, if that thing leaves hell, it is just an explanation below, because the appearance of that thing in the human world is a huge hidden danger. The poisonousness of the red lotus itself is a factor. The main reason is that the red lotus will generate a kind of flame, and that kind of flame is a terrible thing.
I watched him open his mouth, slapped his lips, glanced at the corpse flowers and continued to walk forward. The corpse flowers were blooming more and more along the way, and the stone slabs under my feet also began to appear.
After walking about dozens of meters, turning a passage, you can see the huge altar standing in a wide space, surrounded by black, and it looks gust of wind!
