Holy Bone

Chapter 1171 The Sacrifice and the Figure Wearing a Hat

After exiting the coffin hole, the surrounding environment changed drastically again, returning to the original cave wall environment.

"It's strange to say that I didn't come across that group of tomb robbers along the way. They didn't see people alive or dead. It stands to reason that they couldn't have been washed away so far by the current..."

"Or they were all washed into that swift underground river by the current..."

According to the turbulence of the underground river, Jin An guessed in his heart that these people might be in danger.

As the funeral atmosphere became more and more intense, Jin An knew that he was getting further away from the ground, and he was constantly going deep into the depths of the Great Black Mountain.

The underground world at this time is not only dark, but also extraordinarily quiet. It is definitely a desperate situation for claustrophobia.

Suddenly, Jin An's ears moved, and he heard some sounds, but because of the interference of the running water of the underground river, the sound was not clear at first, but as he got closer, he finally heard it was the dull sound of stones colliding, like The sound of stones hitting the head one after another.

The voice was still some distance away from him, but because the underground space was claustrophobic and quiet, it could be heard far away in the open underground world.

Jin An's eyes turned cold, and he walked in the direction of the voice.

When he came to a river bank, he saw those kneeling headless corpses in strange postures again. They were in the same posture, with their hands tied behind their backs, and their bodies were wrapped in sackcloth. Facing the opposite bank.

It can be vaguely seen that there seem to be two huge stone statues standing on the cliff on the other side of the river. Because the underground world is dark, it is impossible to see what kind of god the stone statues are.

The dull pounding sound came from the other side of the river.

As soon as Jin An came to the bank of the river, the sound from the other bank disappeared and fell into silence. Jin An squinted his eyes and searched carefully for the other bank with his body still.

He knew how conspicuous the torch in his hand was in the dark world, and the unknown thing on the other side of the river had noticed his approach and was watching him as motionless as he was.

At this time, Jin'an discovered that the underground river flowed smoothly when it passed through here. After a closer look, it was because the surface of this section of the river was artificially elevated, so the water flow was not so turbulent.

However, he still couldn't find where the heads of these kneeling headless corpses were.

Suddenly, there was movement on the opposite side, he heard footsteps leaving, and a vague figure leaving in the darkness.

Jin An didn't even think about it, and directly used the Taoist technique to present himself to the other party.

But the other party was too agile, and he left very quickly. As soon as he appeared where the other party was standing, he saw a figure had entered the stone gate between the two stone statues on the cliff, and vaguely saw that the man seemed to be wearing a hat. ?
Um?hat?

"people?"

"Thousands of years have passed, and there are still gravekeepers here?"

Jin An chased into the tall stone gate without hesitation, and found a huge Hades behind the gate.

The Netherworld is too big and too dark. When people enter it, they are thrown into the sea like embroidery needles. If there is no splash, he will lose the other party.

Holding a torch in his hand, he stood at the door and waited quietly for a while, but seeing no results, he had to leave the stone gate temporarily to see what the man was smashing just now.

He was surprised to find that there was also a bull's head sacrifice on the river bank here, and there was also an altar stone platform.

There was still a strong smell of blood on the stone platform of the altar, and several fishes were smashed by stones, and the stench and blood flowed all over the carved characters on the altar.

"It seems that what is offering sacrifices to these altars has been figured out. The other party is a person, not any other special thing."

Jin An observed the altar and said to himself.

It's just that he still doesn't understand a little bit, what are the functions of these two altars, and what do these sacrificial words mean?
"It seems that the answer to all these can only be found after entering the Hades Palace behind the stone gate."

Jin An jumped off the altar, came to the side of the stone gate and looked up at the two stone statues in front of him. Each stone statue was carved about ten feet high.

There are roughly two types of tomb-suppressing beasts, one is the elf-like tomb-suppressing beast with an animal face, and the other is a tomb-scoring beast with a human face and a beast body.

What grave robbers are most afraid of encountering is the latter, the tomb-slayer beast.

The tomb-slayer beast is only interested in the dead. Putting a few of them in the tomb can ward off evil spirits, deter strange things, and prevent any unclean things from running into the dark cemetery to disturb the sleep of the ancestors.

The human tomb-slayer beast is different. This thing is interested in both the living and the dead, and those who are targeted by it will have a bad end.

"Hey, these two beasts are incomplete, and their eyes are artificially gouged out. They only gouged out the eyeballs and didn't knock down the stone statue. Is it because they have eyes but no pearls? So they only gouged out the eyes on purpose?"

This discovery surprised Jin An a little.

The destroyed human tomb town beast, the tall stone gate that was pushed open, and the coffin hole where several ancient tomb coffins were discarded, it seems that this human tomb town beast and the underworld behind the stone gate are not the same General all.

It was excavated by the general of the Warring States Period and then he took it as his own and became part of his tomb.

Strange to say, Jin An searched around the river bank, but he still couldn't find where the heads of those kneeling corpses were hidden.

Shaking his head, he no longer struggled with these small details, turned around and walked into the underworld behind the tall stone gate.

There are two human tombs guarding the tombs at the entrance, and he became more and more interested in these tombs in Daheishan. He lifted up the fog layer by layer like a cocoon, making people look forward to what the final result will be.

The Hades is very large and empty. The reason why it is said to be empty is because everything inside has been emptied, leaving only a few supporting stone pillars.

"Sure enough, this Nether Palace has another owner, and it was also stolen and excavated by the Warring States General."

At this time, he came across seven stone coffins. The stone coffins were heavy, each weighing several thousand kilograms. The coffins were opened, and the corpses and funerary objects inside had long since disappeared.Perhaps it is because these stone coffins are heavy and inconvenient to carry, so they were abandoned in situ.

Holding a torch in hand, Jin An saw that each of the seven stone coffins was pulled by several thick iron chains, and the other ends of those thick iron chains were embedded high above the head of the Hades.

"Seven Star Hanging Coffin?"

"It seems that the status of the master of the Nether Palace was not lower than that of the Warring States General."

But so what?A person dies like a lamp goes out, and after death there is nothing. No one is in awe of you anymore. On the contrary, the more funeral objects there are, the more greedy people will be attracted. Jin An shook his head and walked through the empty seven-star hanging coffin .
