Forced to become the uncle's apex

Chapter 53 Jianmu Scorpion
"Which way?"

Qin Zhen guessed that this should be based on Qimen Dunjia again, but she didn't study these, so she had to look at Si Wuji.

"Open, Hugh, Health, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Shock. Only the door of life can come out." He looked down, if he went to the wrong one of the eight doors, the danger behind him would be unimaginable.

At this time, the old man's roar was heard from a distance. He reached out, grabbed Qin Zhen, and flew towards the third door.

"Boom-boom--"

In an instant, all the stone gates fell, and there was no way to retreat.

"Let's go." Si Wuji held her hand tightly.

In the darkness, Qin Zhen couldn't see his outline, but could feel his figure.

My palms felt a little hot, and I felt a little strange.

After walking for an unknown distance, Qin Zhen suddenly heard the sound of water, and his heart began to tense. Could it be the same blood pool as before?

But fortunately, the road ahead began to widen, but an unpleasant smell swept over, and the two quickly covered their mouths and noses.

Seeing the bright light ahead, Qin Zhen froze for a moment, only to realize that there was something hidden in it.

A huge tree reaches directly to the top of the head, with lush branches and leaves, capable of covering the sky and the sun. What is rare is that this tree is still alive.

There were many plants growing under the tree, and one of them caught the attention of the two of them. It was a flower about the height of a person. Under the effect of the lights, the color was particularly bright.

The stench emanates from it. Looking along the side of it, Qin Zhen's eyes light up, "There are a lot of poisonous weeds!"

The bottom of the tree is intricate, no matter how you look at it, five or six people need to hug each other, and under the flower, many poisonous weeds are covered with a faint phosphorescent light, like the poisonous powder of the flower.

But she knew that this kind of place must not be acted rashly, An resisted the heart of wanting to pick, and continued to look around.

There are many holes on the stone wall, but the holes are not too big, about the height of a human calf.

An oil lamp was lit at the entrance of each cave, and there was shark oil in it, which has not been consumed much until now.

The sound of water came from under the tree. It turned out that there was a winding river passing through the ground with stone slabs on it, but it could still be seen occasionally.

"Where is this place?" Qin Zhen couldn't help asking.

If it is the imperial mausoleum, it would be too strange.

"For sacrificial offerings." Si Wuji withdrew his gaze, thoughtful.

Qin Zhen frowned, "Is this tree the legendary Jianmu?"

Legend has it that Jianmu is a bridge leading to heaven, earth, humans and gods, and this tree can't be seen at all. If it is really a place for worship, maybe this tree will really be regarded as Jianmu.

After all, no one has ever seen anything in the myth.

Si Wuji didn't speak, and looked towards the openings of those holes.

Counting in detail, there are a total of 99 caves here, but half of them have no oil lamps, and every other one will be lit, and those dark caves are particularly weird.

Looking at it, Qin Zhen suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and when he turned his head, his heart tightened, and Si Wuji disappeared without knowing when.

"Si Wuji!"

My heart trembled fiercely, this is the imperial mausoleum, so there shouldn't be anything strange happening, right?

But soon, she began to comfort herself, no.

They must have touched some mechanism. Thinking of the stench she smelt recently, she looked at the flower, her mind spinning rapidly.

She remembered that the master had a tattered book, and she seemed to mention it--flowers growing in corpses.

The conditions for this kind of flower are extremely strict, if it wants to grow to the size of a human, it must have received the blood of thousands of people.

It just so happens that such conditions do exist here. It is said that the first emperor was so cruel that he issued a posthumous photo after his death and ordered thousands of people to be buried with him. It was not until the last emperor felt that the burial with him was too bloody, so he ordered that this system should no longer exist.

This kind of talk is extremely stinky, and it is easy to cause people's hallucinations.

So now she should have been recruited, and I don't know what happened to Si Wuji at this time.

In the illusion, the truth is also false, and the false is also true. No one or anything can be believed.

She lowered her eyes, and began to recite the Mantra of Purifying Heart. At the beginning, the master said that she recited too much, so he taught it for a while, and she didn't know if it would come in handy at this time.

But the more I read it, the more weird I felt. There was a rustling sound in the dark hole at some point.

It was as if something was crawling, and the sound of running water stopped at some point. She stared at these dark holes and picked up a dead branch from the ground.

But I felt soft for a while, looked down, and saw that there was no dead branch in my hand, it was clearly a snake spitting out a letter.

"It's an illusion!" Qin Zhen bit the tip of his tongue, and soon, the snake in his hand looked like a dead branch again.

And the movement at the entrance of the cave became more and more loud, and suddenly, a scorpion with a head like a lantern sprang out.

Climbing down from the entrance of the cave, Qin Zhen squinted his eyes. If this is the case, then the others...

Sure enough, in the next second, dozens of scorpions crawled out of the dark hole.

She gasped, if she met such a one in the wild, she would greet it happily first, and then capture it alive.

Finally, consider whether to eat it or keep it as medicine.

With such a big size, I don't know how many years they have been raised, so the toxicity must be strong.

But with so many coming at once, how can she resist it?
Due to their large size, these scorpions didn't move fast, but they surrounded her as if they were well-trained.

Damn it, there's no way to fight this.

If you get stabbed by one of the tails, why don't you belch on the spot?
"Si Wuji!"

She called out again, but there was still no response.

"Forget it, forget about it!"

As she ran towards the tree, she observed the scorpions.

Seeing that they had come to Jianmu's feet, the scorpions stopped and started spinning around in place.

Qin Zhen's heart sank, as if she was going to be forced here.

And then, with a flash in front of his eyes, the scene just now disappeared, leaving only the huge building tree in front of him, surrounded by cold walls, and at the very front, an iron gate cut off everything.

"Da da da--"

There was the sound of footsteps, and outside the iron gate, a petite person stopped.

"Hehehe, sister is okay?"

It's that voice again!

Qin Zhen trembled all over, only to realize that her limbs were tied to iron chains at some point, and these iron chains seemed to grow out of a big tree, making her unable to move.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the voice suddenly became angry: "You are already dead, why do you still want to come back to life! I finally got Brother Yan, why do you still want to come back to life. Die to me...go to death!"

The voice was harsh, and following her words, the chains began to pull in all directions.

It was almost like dismembering a corpse by five horses. Qin Zhen wanted to see her face clearly, but that face was in the darkness, as if she would never be able to see clearly.

If this is really an illusion, then it is too real. This pain almost overwhelms her, and she can't feel the slightest bit of qi and Gu worms.

"who are you!"
