Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 60 The Underwater Pyramid (1)
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 all lamps made of corpses.These lamps are all children, and they are arranged at intervals. Their knees are kneeling on the ground, and their hands are holding a white bull's head. The bull's head has no skin and flesh, only a white bone frame, and two empty eye holes are jumping inside. There were two clusters of weird blue candles.

I touched the lamp in front of me, and found that the 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 curse: "Damn it, 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’s also the first time I’ve seen it, and it’s really heartbreaking!”

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, the living will be sacrificed to the mountain god and the river god."

"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 the wolf-eyed flashlight and shook it.

I saw Lao Luo's figure appearing in the center of the mausoleum, kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and knocking on 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 there were many runes chiseled on the pillar body, 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 cosmic meteors outside the earth that deviate from their original orbit 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 tomb.But what is the function of this meteorite pillar, we haven't studied it for a while, but we can't help but feel a little confused because we don't see anything like a coffin.

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.

"Your Majesty, omnipotent... wake up... Your Majesty... let the desert tremble under your feet... let the world tremble for you..."

and many more!

We were immediately stunned. The "Her Majesty the Queen" in Lao Luo's mouth was referring to the Queen of Devil City, he...why did he call the queen of Devil City Her Majesty the Queen?What is the subtle relationship between them?

Just when we were puzzled, Lao Luo, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, as agile as a monkey, and swished up the meteorite pillar.

"Stop him!" Professor Ye seemed to realize that the situation was not good, and quickly stopped him.

But Lao Luo's speed was very fast, coupled with his sudden reaction, we haven't recovered yet.I just felt that I was being pushed to the side by Lao Luo, and almost fell to the ground. I never thought that Lao Luo's strength was amazing.

Hao Mengkang raised his assault rifle to aim at Lao Luo, and Professor Ye pressed Hao Mengkang's arm: "Wait! Let's see what he is going to do!"

Lao Luo quickly climbed to the top of the meteorite pillar, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the half-meter-long yellow talisman, then lifted the yellow talisman, staring straight at the meteorite pillar in front of him, his face full of anticipation , completely disregarding life and death.

The yellow talisman fell, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed on the top of the meteorite pillar. Immediately afterwards, the black iron chains wrapped around the pillar hummed and trembled, making a rattling sound, like a waking dragon.

A cloud of thick black air suddenly filled the meteorite pillar, and we took a step back in horror.

I saw pairs of white hand bones protruding faintly from the black mist, and those hand bones were overlapping and holding on to the black iron chain, there were at least a hundred of them.The rattling sound of the black iron chain became more and more intense.In less than half a minute, there was a bang and clunk sound, and the black iron chain, which was as thick as a forearm, was torn into several pieces by those hand bones, and it jingled all over the ground.

We couldn't help but let out an exclamation. At this moment, wisps of white smoke rose from the meteorite pillar, and the whole pillar was like a big chimney ten meters long.The spells carved on the stone pillars burst into dazzling blood in an instant.There was more and more white smoke coming out of the pillar, and the bloody light of those spells was also flickering more and more intensely.At this moment, the scene in front of him was simply weird to the extreme.

"You bastard, what the hell have you done? I'll count to three, and I'll shoot if I don't roll off!" Hao Mengkang yelled.

Standing on the top of the meteorite pillar, Lao Luo laughed insanely: "After 1000 years of waiting, I have finally completed the mission of my tribe. Respected Queen, please wake up, please wake up!" At the words, Lao Luo jumped straight off the meteorite pillar, his head and feet fell, and his brains burst.

"Not good!" Professor Ye was the first to react. He quickly picked up the yellow talisman that had fallen on the ground, climbed up the meteorite pillar recklessly, and hung the yellow talisman on the iron chain again.Strange to say, after re-hanging the yellow talisman, the hand bones that emerged from the black mist all shrank back, the iron chain no longer trembled, and the meteorite pillar slowly returned to its previous calm.

"Just a little bit! Just a little bit!" When Professor Ye climbed down from the meteorite pillar, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. He kept repeating this sentence. I have never seen Professor Ye be so nervous. when.

"Professor Ye, are you okay? What are you talking about?" I asked with concern.

Professor Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I almost made an irreparable mistake. If I knew it was so dangerous just now, I should have asked Hao Mengkang to shoot Lao Luo directly!"

"Professor Ye, what's so weird about this meteorite pillar? Do you know something?" I looked into Professor Ye's eyes, and I was sure that Professor Ye knew some secrets about the meteorite pillar.

Professor Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a harsh voice: "You don't know, this is not an ordinary meteorite pillar, but a sleepy spirit pillar!"

Sleepy Spirit Pillar! ?

We suddenly became interested, what is the Sleepy Spirit Pillar? !

Professor Ye replied: "It's the pillar used to suppress and seal evil spirits. If I'm not mistaken, an expert once used a spell to trap the soul of the Queen of Devil City in this meteorite pillar! And the queen's clan has thousands of people. I have been looking for the devil city submerged in yellow sand for years, trying to lift the seal and release the queen's soul!"

"Why seal the queen's soul in the trapped spirit pillar?" Gu Meidi interrupted and asked.

Professor Ye said: "Maybe the queen is really a heinous devil, that's why she was sealed by an expert, and she will never be reborn forever!"

I pondered and said: "It seems that that bastard Lao Luo is a member of the Queen's family. He followed us to find the Devil City this time, and he deliberately planned to lift the Queen's seal!"

Looking back, it's no wonder that Lao Luo was extremely excited after entering the Devil City. Not only was he able to call out the witch ghost's name, but he also knew the secret to opening the tomb door.

"I didn't expect such a person to be in our team." Hao Mengkang gave Li Yingxin a hard look, because Lao Luo, the guide, was invited back by Li Yingxin, and Li Yingxin had an inescapable responsibility.

When such a thing happened, Li Yingxin also seemed very depressed, and quickly explained: "I checked Lao Luo's background before, and it was very clean. Who knew he had such a secret!"

"Forget it, I can't blame you for this matter, this place is very sinister, let's leave quickly!" Professor Ye waved at us.

At this moment, that weird growling sound came again: "Hiss... roar..."

It's that horrible sound again!

Before we came back to our senses, we heard a loud bang, and amidst the splash of gravel, a huge black shadow suddenly broke out from under the trapped spirit stone.The black shadow was more than three feet long, like a locomotive, twisting its body crazily in the air.

Before we came back to our senses, we saw Hao Mengkang being swept away and disappeared.

The moment the shadow rushed out of the ground, the surrounding boy lamps dimmed instantly.

Oh my god!

At first we thought it was a giant snake, but when we saw the true face of the black shadow, we all shivered in our hearts and couldn't help but exclaimed!

What appeared in front of us was a huge strange worm with a body length of three feet, which was as thick as a bucket.The strange thing is that this strange insect has no obvious facial features. It has four soft tentacles growing on its head. When it twists its body and roars, those tentacles will open, revealing the cross-shaped mouth inside.

"Damn! What is this?" Gan Hongxin screamed.

"Death Worm of the Western Regions! This... this is the Death Worm of the Western Regions!" I could clearly feel my voice trembling.

The first time we saw the legendary death worm was in the head of the ancient corpse of Xixia, but the death worm was very small, only an inch long, but its lethality was enough to make people frightened, especially the corrosion it sprayed out. Sexual mucus, dare not touch it at all.What appeared in front of us now was a giant death insect with a body length of three feet. If we want to fight it, wouldn't it be a gnat that shakes the tree?

"Scatter! Everyone, scatter! This is the death bug of the Western Regions, and it sprays corrosive mucus from its mouth!" Gu Meidi yelled anxiously at the crowd, waving his arms constantly, motioning everyone to avoid it.

The giant death worm hovered like a boa constrictor, raised its head high, and looked down at us tiny humans with disdain.

No one would have thought that the Queen of Devil City back then actually raised such a huge Death Worm. Why was the Death Worm buried under the Trapped Spirit Pillar?We speculate that maybe when the Taoist master sealed the queen's evil spirit, he sealed the death worm under the trapped spirit pillar.Who knew that the trapped spirit pillar collapsed, and the insects of death below took the opportunity to escape.

We only now understand that the roar we heard before was made by the death bug. As for how it can survive underground for thousands of years, no one knows.

We are so regretful now, if we hadn't stayed and rested just now, we wouldn't have encountered this monster!
"Hiss... roar..."

The Worm of Death seemed to be venting its suppressed emotions that had been suppressed for thousands of years. Its tentacles spread out, and it let out a creepy roar, and a jet of black air spewed out from its cross-shaped mouth.Immediately afterwards, a puff of dark green slime splashed down on the head.

Li Yingxin was the closest to the Death Worm. The sudden appearance of the strange insect made him a little distracted. Suddenly, the strange insect sprayed out a cloud of acid. When Li Yingxin wanted to dodge it, it was too late, and the dark green slime fell on the ground like raindrops. Li Yingxin's body.

"Ah -ah-" Li Yingxin's sorrowful mourning in the pyramid, the sound changed, it sounded like humans, and we suddenly got a goosebumps.
