Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 87

"Old Luo, how do you know how to use blood to open this stone gate?" Professor Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Luo.

I didn't speak, but I vaguely felt that Lao Luo seemed to hide a lot of secrets. Since entering the Devil City, Lao Luo seemed to have changed. He was no longer the simple and calm Lao Luo before. It feels weird.The excited expression on entering the Devil City, being able to say the name of the witch ghost, and now knowing the secret of opening the stone gate, these behaviors of Lao Luo made me vaguely feel that he seems to be quite familiar with the Devil City.

Lao Luo didn't explain too much, just said lightly: "I guessed it!"

Guess what? !
Lao Luo's perfunctory explanation obviously did not convince us, and when we wanted to ask him something, he had already walked in first.Looking at Lao Luo's back, I suddenly felt that Lao Luo had become a little strange.

Professor Ye quietly whispered in my ear: "Be careful with this old Luo, he is a bit weird!"

I nodded, secretly alert in my heart.

Behind the stone gate is the bottom layer of the pyramid, which is a tall space. It turns out that there is no layering inside the pyramid, it is a hollow structure, and there is a strange blue light inside, illuminating this dark space strangely and coquettishly.

We have guessed what will be inside the pyramid before. Some people speculate that it is a place where treasures are hidden, and some people speculate that it may be a mausoleum. Now we can confirm that this pyramid is indeed a mausoleum with a grand structure, that is to say, it is a pyramid tomb .The person who can enjoy the treatment of the pyramid tomb must be the queen of Devil City, and others should not have this qualification.

There is a circle of lamps arranged around the tomb. Those lamps are extremely terrifying. We thought they were stone statues at first, but when we got closer, we found that they were lamps of living people.These living lamps are all children, both boys and girls, and they are arranged at intervals. Their knees are kneeling on the ground, and they are holding a white bull's head in their hands. The bull's head has no skin, only a white bone frame. Two clusters of strange blue candle flames danced in the two empty eye holes.A wick was pulled out of the bull's head and plunged into the child's head.

I touched the living lamp in front of me, and found that the child's body was as stiff as iron, and there was a hollow sound when I knocked on it. It must be empty in the body, and a burst of anger surged in my heart, and I couldn't help but burst into tears. He cursed: "Damn it, you actually took the child, beast! Pervert!"

Professor Ye said: "This is a boy's lamp. The ancients believed that the soul of a boy is the purest thing. If these boys and girls are buried with them, their pure souls can help the owner of the tomb to ascend to the heaven and avoid suffering from the cycle of hell. But Due to its very complicated production process, it usually only appears in the tombs of royal nobles. I have seen similar children's lamps before, but there are only two or four lamps in a tomb. There are hundreds of lamps like this. It was also the first time I saw it, and it was really shocking and heartbreaking!"

"Then how is this boy lantern made?" Li Yingxin asked curiously.

Professor Ye said: "I don't know the specific method, I only know the general idea. After selecting these boys and girls, I started to feed them mercury, adding a little bit to each meal. Mercury is highly poisonous. , the more it accumulates in the body, the organs in the human body will be necrotic. It is said that mercury will be fed for three months, and when the skin of these virgins turns into hard iron, these virgins will die At this time, dig out all the viscera and six internal organs in the body, and then pour the ointment of the mermaid in the East China Sea into the hollowed out corpses. After 81 days of exposure to the sun and 49 days of drying in the shade, the boys The lamp is basically ready. When it’s time to put it into the mausoleum, drill a hole in the sky cover of the child’s corpse, pull out the wick and light it!”

"Damn it, it's so cruel, you can even come up with such a perverted method!"

Hearing Professor Ye's narration, everyone's complexion changed, and everyone's chest felt like a big stone was pressed down, making them uncomfortable and suffocating.

three months? !

For three full months? !

During these long three months, let a group of children be slowly poisoned to death by mercury, such a horrific method is beyond our imagination, it is unbelievable that this is what we humans came up with.Humans are often worse than animals!

Gan Hongxin said: "I know that in some isolated old villages in Southwest China, there are ethnic minorities who have the tradition of 'lighting sky lanterns'. These ethnic minorities believe that mountains have mountain gods, rivers have river gods, and trees have tree gods. , Every important day, they will take living people to sacrifice to the mountain god and river god. The tribute they choose is also a boy. As Professor Ye said, they think that a boy is the purest thing in the world. They will choose the child Locked in a cage, give the child a herbal medicine similar to anesthesia in advance, so that the child will not feel pain. Then use a sharp machete to cut open the child's celestial cap, pour wax oil into the child's head and ignite it. The cage is hung on a tree or floated in the water. The child's head is covered with flames until he is finally burned alive. When he dies, it is said that even his eyes will spew fire..."

"Gan Hongxin, you pervert, can you stop talking?" Han Jing's expression changed.

Gan Hongxin curled his lips: "I didn't do this kind of thing, I was just talking, and I'm not a pervert!"

A woman's heart is always softer than a man's. When I turned my head to look at Gu Meidi, I found that her eye sockets were filled with tears.

Skeletons all over the floor, witches and ghosts bewitched by sorcery, and these weird boy lanterns, what kind of existence was the Devil City back then?What kind of crazy devil was the Queen of Devil City back then?

Gu Meidi gritted his teeth: "If I find that queen's body, I will crush her to ashes!"

When I said this, a strong murderous aura surged from Gu Meidi's body. I was more than two meters away from her, and I felt that cold murderous aura. I have never seen Gu Meidi so angry.

After calming down for a while, we walked towards the center of the mausoleum.

After walking for a short distance, I felt something was wrong, as if something was missing, but I couldn't tell for a while.

"Where did this old Luo go?" Li Yingxin said suddenly.

As soon as I said this, I immediately remembered that something was wrong. There were fewer people in the team, and not only Lao Luo was missing, but the noisy and hot-tempered Wang Dongyu also disappeared.

"Where is Lao Luo!" Liu Hanhao raised his wolf eyes and shook them.

I saw Lao Luo's figure appearing in the center of the mausoleum, kneeling on the ground, bowing his head to the ground, not knowing what he was doing.

In front of Lao Luo, stood a round pillar with a height of ten meters. It was extremely black, without any luster, and could absorb light. The white circle of light shining on the stone pillar was absorbed by the stone pillar at once.

Suspicious in our hearts, we walked over quickly.

When he got closer, he found that the stone pillar was polished very smooth, and many runes were chiseled on the sound of the pillar, densely packed, circling around the stone pillar.Looking up, there are circles of black iron chains wrapped around the stone pillars. These black iron chains are criss-crossed, forming a huge spell pattern.In addition, on the joints where the iron chains intersect, there is actually a half-meter-long yellow talisman with strange patterns drawn on it with cinnabar.

This stone pillar was lifeless, exuding a cold aura. Standing under the stone pillar, I could feel this cold aura penetrating into my bones.

We stared blankly at this strange stone pillar, and the spell on it obviously conveyed a message to us: this is an extremely evil thing!
I couldn't help being curious, and reached out to touch the stone pillar. It was abnormally cold and exuded a strong breath of death.

Gu Meidi said: "If I'm not mistaken, the material of this stone pillar is very likely to be a rare meteorite!"

Naturally, I know meteorites. Meteorites are also called meteorites. They are unburned space meteors outside the earth that break away from their original orbits or fall into pieces on the surface of the earth or other planets. They are rocky, iron or stone-iron. mixed substances.

Ancient people saw meteorites falling from the sky and thought they were gifts from God, so they regarded meteorites as sacred objects. It is no wonder that there is such a meteorite pillar in the Queen's Mausoleum.But what is the function of this meteorite pillar, we still have to study it for a while, but it seems that we have not seen anything like a coffin, so we can't help but feel a little confused.

If this is really the queen's tomb, why can't I see the coffin?

If this is not the queen's mausoleum, what is this pyramid built at the bottom of the well used for?

However, the boy's lamps around clearly show that this is indeed a tomb, otherwise how could there be a boy's lamp?
Lao Luo was still kneeling in front of the meteorite pillar, with a devout expression, as if he was still muttering something.

And Wang Dongyu was still missing, where did this noisy guy go?

At this time, Gan Hongxin said something that made our hair stand on end: "It seems that I haven't seen Wang Dongyu since I entered the water!"

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, Wang Dongyu disappeared after entering the water?Where did he go?Are you drowning?
Suddenly, I remembered that strange face underwater, and that greasy human-faced fish skin. Could it be that Wang Dongyu was dragged away by the underwater monster?

Professor Ye's face changed, but he didn't ask about Wang Dongyu, but stepped forward and patted Lao Luo on the shoulder: "Lao Luo, what are you doing?"

Lao Luo ignored Professor Ye, as if he was focusing all his attention on the meteorite pillar in front of him, and his chanting became louder and louder.
