Husband, forgive me

Chapter 58 The Key to Open the Gate of Hell

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

In such a gloomy ancient tomb again, I don't think it's strange that something pops out of the blood-red coffin.

But what I saw in front of me was completely beyond my expectation.

Exactly, it's not a thing.

But a corpse, my corpse!

Huddled in Ji Gongsheng's arms, he was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes. After a while, he dared not open his eyes again until he calmed down.

Rubbing his eyes, the scene in front of him has not changed.

The body was still lying in the coffin.

The female corpse closed her eyes tightly, wearing a white shroud, with her palms folded on her chest, holding a black box the size of a child's fist in her hand.

Staring at the face of the female corpse, not only the face is exactly the same as mine, but even the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin are all exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold.

But the problem is
I stood here well, but she was lying in the coffin.

hallucinations!

It must be an illusion!

I never believed that there would be a second me in this world, lying in a dark tomb.

Besides, even if there was once a woman who looked exactly like me, she should have been turned into a mummy after thousands of years, and the corpse could not keep alive.

but
You Ying and Ji Gongsheng have not spoken for a long time!

In terms of strength, Ji Gongsheng is the king of You country, the king of ghosts who has lived for more than 3000 years.

As for You Ying, he was the commander of the guards under his command, and his strength naturally belonged to the top ranks.

If it was an illusion, they should have seen through it long ago!

"My lord, it doesn't seem to be an illusion!"

You Ying walked carefully to the female corpse, stretched out the bronze sword and poked it, red blood flowed out, which looked shocking
This blood also illustrates a problem!
This is not an illusion!
"Burn it!"

Ji Gongsheng said calmly: "In this world, there are many unimaginable things that we cannot understand. Although the widow has lived for more than 3000 years, it is considered an old antique, but don't forget that in the long river of history, the 3000 years that the widow experienced Many years is just a short period of time. This ancient tomb is extremely ancient, and it is normal for some unknown things to appear."

promise!
Youying nodded!

Take out the fire from the body, and the shadow is about to throw it into the coffin!

"and many more!"

Ji Gongsheng pointed to the box in the female corpse's hand and said, "Take that out!"

You Ying nodded, pushed the female corpse's hands away with the blade, and then flexibly used the blade to lift the small box away.

With a horizontal stroke of the sword, he caught the black box that flew out.

You Ying was cautious enough, facing these unknown things, even if his strength was extremely strong, he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Back off!"

Ji Gongsheng glanced at me and told me not to get too close.

I felt that the box was dangerous, so I ran back quickly.

After running more than ten meters away, he stopped.

"Open it!"

Ji Gongsheng also took a step back and said to Youying!
You Ying nodded, flew the box, and turned the sword in his hand!
A half-moon-shaped cold light flashed, and the black box split from the middle, revealing a ball of yellowed paper.

Seeing this yellowed piece of paper, both Ji Gongsheng and You Ying showed surprise, and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

They obviously didn't expect it to be something like this.

Isn't it just a bunch of torn paper, what's so strange?

"This is not torn paper."

Ji Gongsheng said with a smile: "Paper is a rare and common thing for people today, and there is nothing precious about it. But before Cai Lun improved papermaking, paper was a very precious item. Even the emperor rewarded his officials, Sometimes paper is used as a prize."

When Ji Gongsheng said that, I immediately understood!
As a modern person, I made a common sense mistake. Ancient technology and productivity are incomparable with modern times.

What seems worthless to us may be priceless to them.

"It seems to be a very important thing!"

Staring at the shadow of the paper ball all the time, he said cautiously: "The general will cut it open and have a look."

Phantom carefully cut the paper, and inside was a key made of stone.

You Ying picked up the key, weighed it in his hand and glanced at it, and said strangely: "There are a few words on it, but I don't know it."

Ji Gongsheng stretched out his hand, took the blood-red key, stared at the writing on it and said: "This is a variant of the pictograph, which means "the gate of hell", and can also be understood as "the key to open the gate of hell. "

Hearing what Ji Gongsheng said, I seemed to understand something!
In a gloomy ancient tomb, there are three coffins blocked in the corridor, and there are just three of us.

Find a key from the coffin, but it says "The Gates of Hell".

The key is naturally used to open the door, which means it is obvious, if you open the gate of hell, you will fall into hell?
Intimidate!

Threat!

The meaning of this key is the same as that of "Trespasser dies", but this expression is more abstract and difficult to understand, and ordinary people cannot understand it.

"The gates of hell?"

Ji Gongsheng held the key tightly, laughed and said, "Such a threat really has no deterrent effect on the widow."

Burn it!
Ji Gongsheng pointed to the three coffins and put away the keys.

You Ying walked to the side of the coffin, but he didn't see how he moved. Three balls of green ghost fire appeared in the corridor, fell into the three coffins, and ignited raging flames.

Under the burning of the will-o'-the-wisp, the three coffins and the stones inside quickly turned to ashes.

On the floor of the corridor, only three clusters of ashes remained, scattered on the ground.

Let's go!

The ghost took my hand, walked around the ashes on the ground, and walked forward step by step.

After walking forward for more than 100 meters, I finally saw a stone gate.

The stone gate is black with blood smeared on it.

Taking a closer look, those patterns drawn with blood look like a lifelike ghost head with a long tongue sticking out and protruding eyeballs, which looks very scary.

At the mouth of the ghost face, there is a small hole.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the so-called Gate of Hell.

The key found in the coffin was used to open this door.

Walking in front of the stone gate, Ji Gongsheng inserted the key into the gap.

Click!

quack quack!
Behind the door came the sound of a crank, and the gears inside were turning.

I don't know if it's because the door is too heavy, or if the gears are loose, and they feel weak when turning. After a while, the stone door cracked a half-meter-wide crack, and it didn't move anymore.

Looking inside from the crack of the door, it looks like a lobby.

At the entrance of the lobby, there stood two stone statues of ferocious ghosts with green faces and fangs, wearing armor and holding spears, with two protruding eyeballs, staring at us.

snort!
Ji Gongsheng snorted disdainfully, and the two stone statues collapsed into two piles of broken stones.

At the same time, the stone door was also torn apart, and the gravel rolled towards it.

Wait until the gravel stops moving.

You Ying took the lead and rushed in.

Follow behind the shadow and walk into the hall.

In this lobby, there are two oil pans standing, and the will-o'-the-wisps underneath are burning vigorously. The hot oil inside has already boiled, and the bubbles are constantly bursting.

This thing, if you go in, get out!
what!
It's scary to think about!
In addition to the oil pan, there are seven or eight pillars, all of which are wrapped with chains.

Taking a closer look, there is actually a person tied to those dark pillars.

Help!
help me!

The miserable groans kept ringing out, and my heart tightened. How could there be any living people in this gloomy hall?

Is it
Are they the missing construction workers?
Master said that two groups of workers guarding the construction site and a group of archaeologists disappeared, including the boss who contracted the foundation project.

Cautiously walked over and shined on them with a flashlight.

Sure enough, it was those missing workers. Their bodies no longer had a piece of intact skin, but were covered with criss-cross wounds, and blood continued to flow from the wounds.

On the pillar here, there are a total of eight people, but five of them have died.

The remaining three are also dying.

All of them moaned unconsciously, only shouting out of survival instinct.

There are three people alive, I want to go to save them.

Ji Gongsheng shook his head, and said to me helplessly: "It's hopeless, give them a good time!"

When Ji Gongsheng said this, I realized that each of them had been cut at least a hundred times, and all the veins and blood vessels of their bodies were broken. Even if they were sent to the hospital with the best medical conditions, the possibility of being saved was very slim.What's more, we are now in the depths of the ancient tomb, not to mention the doctors and nurses in the hospital, and we don't even have the most basic hemostatic and painkillers.

Even if they were saved, it would only add to the pain.

Youying raised the bronze sword and walked towards the shelf step by step!
"Don't look!"

Ji Gongsheng hugged me in his arms and covered my eyes.

I probably understand what Youying is going to do!

Suddenly, there was a "rustling" sound in the entire hall.

You Ying stopped abruptly, slammed the bronze sword across his chest, and stepped back step by step, ignoring the groaning construction workers, and stood in front of us.

The next moment, the broken blood blade also appeared!
Holding a short knife in his hand, he approached us step by step, with a very ugly face!

Glancing around, a pair of green eyes appeared around the lobby, flickering like fireflies in the night sky, we seemed to be surrounded by something.
