Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 320 Stone Statue
In the huge cave, a gloomy city stands in it.

As I got closer to the palace group in the middle, I became more and more uneasy and nervous.

"Second Uncle, if this is really a cemetery, then who do you think will be buried here? This kind of spectacle is probably very rare in imperial tombs." Cai Yawen asked in a low voice.

Cai Zhongtang shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Yawen, your question is difficult for Second Uncle. There are very few records left in the history books of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and even many emperors only recorded a name. There are no specific deeds, how can you let me speculate."

Wang Yifeng on the side interjected: "I do know a little bit about this. It is said that the founding monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom was the Cancong clan, the leader of the Qiang people. Congdi Bieling, after Bieling founded the Enlightened Dynasty, passed on for another twelve generations until the Qin people went south to destroy the country. During the Enlightened Dynasty, all the heroes of the Central Plains rose together, like Qin and Chu even fought many times The idea of ​​the land of Bashu, coupled with the repeated rebellion of the barbarians in the southwest, it should be difficult for the national power of the enlightened dynasty to build such a huge building. And the ostentation of this cemetery is extremely rare. I guess the rightful owner should be Cancong. It is not known who the emperor among Cong Di Bie Ling is exactly."

I thought to myself, the owner of this place must not be the Can Cong family, his coffin is still on Qingshen Peak.However, there are very few historical records of the Baiguan family and the Yufu family, and there are different opinions.Some people think that they are all descendants of the Cancong clan, while others think that they are other clans and tribes that replaced the Cancong clan in the ancient Shu Kingdom.After experiencing the hallucinations left by the remains of the Cancong family, I am more inclined to the former, but due to lack of information, I know too little about these two ancient emperors to be sure.

As for Wangdi Du Yu later, this can be ruled out directly.Because there are clear historical records that he was seized the throne by Bie Ling, as a loser, he must not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.

As for Cong Di Bie Ling, my pupils constricted extremely, and the thought of this name made my heart beat much faster.This legendary Chu native who died and revived after helping Du Yu control the flood took away his throne, and even made Cancong's descendants into dragon veins with his own hands. He is definitely an extremely terrifying and difficult person. Perhaps this city is his burial place.

There was a cold light in my eyes, and even the fingers holding the Que Xie sword couldn't help but tighten.

After about ten minutes, our group finally arrived at the palace.This palace complex was built on a high earth hill, about tens of meters high, looking majestic and majestic, showing the majesty of the emperor.The style of the palace is much different from the palaces of the Han family in TV dramas, revealing a wild and aggressive flavor.From the palace gate above, there are milky white jade steps down, which is luxurious.

"Someone has been here!"

Cai Yawen said coldly, attracting everyone's attention. I followed her gaze and saw a series of messy footprints left on the white jade steps. The footprints were made of blood, but now they have solidified into There was a bloody mess.

"This... This is the footprint of the eldest brother! Our shoes are all made by special personnel, and the patterns on the soles of these shoes are similar!"

Cai Zhongtang said loudly suddenly, he raised his hand and took off one of his shoes, compared with the footprints on the ground, there was no big difference.

A flush appeared on Cai Yawen's face, and she said: "My dad has indeed been here before, he must have become like that because of the things in this palace!"

I looked at Cai Yawen's excited look and shook my head secretly.The things in this palace are probably far from being as simple as she imagined.

"Let's go, everyone be careful. Don't panic if anything appears!"

Cai Zhongtang said seriously, and at the same time he turned his head to me and Wang Yifeng and said: "You two, this time there will be a lot of trouble. After this incident is over, our Cai family will have a big thank you. And as an ancient emperor The value of the things inside is absolutely immeasurable. At that time, let the two choose first."

I can't laugh or cry, the Cai family really came from tomb robbers, and they still want to share the funerary objects with us at this time.

Perhaps in order to cheer up everyone, Cai Zhongtang took the lead and walked in front, holding a mahogany sword in his hand, which seemed to be full of energy.I walked among the crowd with Longzhu, and my whole body was on alert, ensuring that I could attack immediately in case of emergencies.

The sound of crisp footsteps resounded continuously on the stone steps, and soon everyone climbed to the top. There was a flat ground on the stone steps, and not far away was a palace built entirely of stones. Gold jewelry is still shining after thousands of years.

"Wow, there are so many gems! Master, we have grown up this time!"

Liu Zelong cried out in surprise, his eyes sparkled.Even the members of the Cai family were astonished. Even though many tombs were stolen, they had never seen such a scene before.It was simply too luxurious.

While they were talking about those luxurious decorations, my eyes saw the bloody footprints on the ground extending from here to the entrance of a main hall more than 30 meters away.I secretly speculated that Cai Zhongyong and the others were probably attracted by this palace at the beginning, they did not push away the stone house below, entered the palace directly, and then encountered danger inside, and everyone else died in the palace, only Cai Zhongyong escaped and kept going. He persisted until the entrance before he passed out completely.

"Xiaobai, if you encounter danger later, you should protect Longzhu first." I whispered to Xiaobai in the backpack. It has been used to staying in the backpack for a while, and basically has no complaints.

After hearing its soft reply, I stepped forward and walked towards the main hall.Seeing my action, the others quickly followed me.Everyone looked cautiously, looking around warily.

When I walked into the main hall, my body tensed up suddenly, because on both sides of the main hall stood a row of stone statues. They were dressed in stone armor and held various stone weapons, looking majestic.Because of the darkness inside the hall, I didn't pay attention to their faces, just treating them as ordinary stone statues.After all, stone men and stone horses are often used as guards in the tombs of emperors, which is not so unusual.

I looked up and saw that the palace was built a little strangely. It was more like a corridor, straight and deep, and it was hundreds of meters long. At the end of it were two closed stone gates, leading to the corridor. into a deeper place.And inside the palace, apart from the armored figures standing on both sides, there are no decorations.This layout looks extremely weird.

"Don't mess with these things, there may be some traps here. The gate inside may be where the real master is." Cai Zhongtang ordered everyone to proceed carefully.

The hall was silent, only our footsteps made a crisp sound from time to time, which was extremely ear-piercing.Just when everyone was paying attention to the stone gate in the depths, Longzhu suddenly grabbed my hand with some fear and stopped moving forward.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.

With fear on his face, Longzhu said to me in horror: "Master! They are watching us!"

They look at us!

I suddenly felt creepy, and my whole body was extremely cold.I quickly used the technique of looking at Qi and looked at the stone statues standing on both sides.

I saw that the place where the eyes entered was full of ghostly energy, and every standing stone statue was like a kindling of Yin energy, which was particularly abrupt under the Qi Watching technique.

I was shocked, how could there be such a heavy Yin Qi in these stone statues!

At this moment, A Biao, who was taken away on the left, suddenly shouted: "Hey, why is there something hanging from the corner of the stone man's mouth?"

A Biao's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. When the light of several flashlights shone on the stone statue together, a piece of dried meat came into our eyes.The skin was still attached to this piece of meat, as if it had been directly torn off.

"what!"

A Biao screamed loudly, even if he was a burly man, he couldn't hold it anymore. The stone statue with a piece of meat hanging from the corner of its mouth slowly opened its eyes under the light of the flashlight...
