Chapter 53 05 The Female Corpse

Everyone searched separately. After a long time, Jiang Fengbai seemed to have discovered something, and said, "The patterns here are different."

Hearing this, Cheng Wanshi took a closer look, and sure enough, the pattern on a stone slab on the top of the tomb couldn't match up with the surrounding stone slabs. "Ah, I can't get it." He stretched out his hand tentatively, but no matter how hard he tiptoed, he couldn't reach the stone slab.

Jiang Fengbai couldn't help laughing: "I'll do it."

"No, what if something is painted on it and you get poisoned? Otherwise, I'll step on the coffin." Cheng Wanshi had a flash of inspiration, and decisively asked Jiang Fengbai to support him, and then stepped on the top of the coffin.I was able to touch the stone slab, and I pulled it hard. With the sound of "click, click", a large piece of the east wall of the tomb suddenly sank, and then slowly moved to the left. There was a door underneath. Behind the door is still a narrow path.

Cheng Wanshi jumped down, signaled the crowd to disperse, and found a dead corner to stay in, and threw the stone slab towards the door without any hassle.In an instant, dozens of cockroaches shot out, and all of them were stuck on the wall.Each arrow is dark blue, and it feels like it has been poisoned.

"No more, let's go." Cheng Wanshi still walked in front, followed by Jiang Fengbai with a serious face, then Situ Jingwen with black eyes, and Bai Jiu who supported Xu Cheng at the end of the line.Not long after the group walked, it suddenly became clear that the end of the path was not another tomb, but a lush forest.The woods are so large that you can't see the edge at a glance, as if there are only trees in this entire space, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Jiang Fengbai keenly noticed the unusual stone tablet beside it, although it was buried deep in the ground, only the top was exposed. "Situ, can you help dig it out?" Cheng Wanshi couldn't understand the man's lifeless appearance, so he decided to order him to do some work.

Situ Jingwen came back to his senses, all kinds of pessimistic and depressed thoughts in his heart subsided a little, took out the tools in his backpack and started digging.Unexpectedly, the soil here is very soft, as long as the top layer is broken, it is easy to dig loose.The stele was gradually exposed to the eyes of several people, and the words on it were also ancient characters that Bai Jiu had read many times: "The forest of steles..."

"A stone tablet, a forest, what a convenient name." Cheng Wanshi muttered, and walked into the dense forest.

Everyone followed, and the forest was really quiet, only the sound of each other's footsteps and breathing intertwined, and there was no sound of living things.After a while, Cheng Wanshi stopped and stared straight at an old tree that was about to wither: "It's amazing, it's actually a maze, a real maze."

"We walked here just now." Jiang Fengbai added.

Xu Cheng had already suppressed his embarrassment, slipped out of Bai Jiu's arms, and at the moment agreed a little bit: "Yes, I know the direction in which this tree bends."

Bai Jiu rubbed her fingers regretfully, always feeling that wonderful touch was still on them: "They're all trees, it's hard to find them."

"If they are all burned..." Situ Jingwen said suddenly.

"These are just illusions. Once they burn out, they will soon recover by themselves." Cheng Wanshi shook his head, indicating that this method is not feasible.

Jiang Fengbai touched his waist comfortingly: "Go again and observe what is unusual on the road."

So, everyone continued to move forward, and after a long time, they returned to their original place.This time, Chengwanshi really found something unusual: "Is there something under the tree?"

"Grass?" Xu Cheng took a few more glances and found a clump of light blue grass under the shadow of the tree. Because it was too short, no one noticed it at first.But once you find it, you will feel that its color seems to be out of tune with the surroundings.

Bai Jiu tried to turn one hand into a cat's claw, and gently hooked it with her nails. Suddenly, the clump of grass trembled crazily, and the grass blades quickly burst into a large group of butterflies, which scattered away.Fortunately, the cat's claw was used, otherwise Bai Jiu's hands would be stained with the butterfly's venom. "Look, those trees are all withered..." He looked around, and the woods gradually disappeared, replaced by ice-blue stone monuments with strange shapes and pointed tops.

Cheng Wanshi and Jiang Fengbai said in unison, "Scales!"

Now looking at this forest of steles, everyone felt creepy. The original position of the tree was replaced by scales, which made people wonder if the ground was the back of some kind of giant beast.

Yes, the Forest of Steles—Back Scales—no wonder this is a forest of stone steles!

After guessing, Xu Cheng first showed disgust and fear in his eyes: "So we step on its back?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Cheng Wanshi replied helplessly.

Passing through many strange stone monuments and coming to the edge, everyone saw three forks in the road, which seemed to lead to different places. "Here... there are scales." Situ Jingwen's eyes are very sharp, or he is particularly keen on matters related to Lu Zhuang, "they are also blue."

Sure enough, at the fork on the far right, there were a few incomplete scales scattered, not only emitting an ice blue light, but also stained with some blood, I don't know if it belonged to Lu Zhuang. "Then go here." Cheng Wanshi gave an order, and everyone hurried to follow. On the road, they encountered many traps like gunpowder, nail boards, etc., but no one was injured.

At the end of the fork, a gorgeous palace came into view. The front of the palace was covered with ice-blue floor tiles, which looked like jade, but after the torment of the forest of steles, everyone agreed that it was scales.I don't know how much the person who built this tomb hated the giant snake, and actually peeled off its scales after its death to build a palace.

There are countless palace lanterns on both sides, which are not extinguished for many years. It should be called Changming Lantern more appropriately.Each palace lantern is held by a young woman dressed as a palace official, but it is a figurine, not a living person.Most of the figurines wear hairpins on their heads, and a butterfly hangs from the hairpin. Although it doesn't shake, one can't help but imagine how swaying they would be when they walked around if they were alive.

At this time, that weird singing voice sounded again, it was very sad, it seemed to come from the palace. "Go in and have a look?" Cheng Wanshi suggested.

The few people were always vigilant, but they didn't encounter any danger along the way and entered the palace smoothly.In the center of the main hall is something similar to an altar, on which a huge tripod is placed, and a butterfly picture is also engraved on it.Bai Jiu changed back to his original shape, jumped up from the railing, looked down, and was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit: "People, they are all people, they are all boiled to a paste!" After taking a closer look, he found that the paste was slightly Pan Lan, "There are scales in it? The color is so strange."

When Bai Jiu came back, everyone was in no mood to look at the altar, and decided to go around to see the side hall and the apse.In the hall on the left is a mountain of treasures, all of which seem to be priceless, and many of them can reflect Fuchi's unique craftsmanship.Under Cheng Wanshi's urging, everyone just watched from a distance and did not dare to approach, because every piece of jewelry and porcelain was glowing with an ominous blue color, and without exception, they were smeared with poison.

"It's really related to Fuchi, maybe it's the tomb of the king?" Bai Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe." Cheng Wanshi dared not make a conclusion.After all, in order to avoid being tomb-robbed, the emperors and rulers in history would create many suspicious tombs to confuse the public.

Turn to the hall on the right side. Different from the east side, there are many weird biological specimens on display here, soaked in large and small bottles, whether it is a child with three eyes, or a beauty with a mermaid body, or many without a human figure. The strange beasts are all lifelike, as if they will come back to life in the next moment.

"It's disgusting." Xu Cheng touched his arm, feeling a little cold for no reason.

"Using the Spirit Gathering Formation, the ice bricks, ice table, and ice table will never melt." Cheng Wanshi saw through it at a glance.

The singing still reverberated in the ears, everyone left the hall on the right and walked towards the back hall, the sound became closer and closer.The apse is like a real tomb, extremely huge, with a mechanism at the entrance, but it is like a floating cloud in front of everything.The murals of butterflies on all sides of the tomb are inlaid with various gemstones, showing magnificent colors.And it's not a simple two-dimensional sculpture, but a relief, especially the beautiful face on the butterfly's chest, with a hint of charm in the eyebrows and eyes, which is particularly moving.

The top of the tomb is a large area of ​​ice blue, which is crystal clear. Under the illumination of a few palace lanterns of terrifying size, it looks like a deep lake with slight ripples.

On the high platform in the center, there is a coffin, which is still tightly covered and has not been damaged.It appears that the quince—a solid piece of wood without cracks—has been carefully crafted into such a beautiful coffin. "Lu Zhuang!" Cheng Wanshi opened the coffin, and found a pale man lying inside, breathing weakly, but he was fine.

Hearing this, Situ Jingwen stepped forward a few steps, bent slightly, and wanted to hug Lu Zhuang out.However, when Lu Zhuang's back left the coffin, strange laughter suddenly erupted from all around the tomb, and those butterflies came alive, flew out of the wall, and swooped towards the people on the high platform.Laughter comes from the mouth of the beauty on the butterfly body, mixed with slurred singing, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Situ Jingwen didn't want to let go of his lover, so he gritted his teeth and rolled down the high platform with the person in his arms.The rest of the people were all entangled, each dealing with the butterfly.The singing echoed, hovering above the tomb, apart from Cheng Wanshi and Bai Jiu, who were inhuman, Lu Zhuang who was in a coma, Situ Jingwen, who was devoted to protecting his lover, and Jiang Fengbai, whose physique had changed, as a representative of ordinary people, Xu Cheng felt for a moment My head was dizzy, and I felt that I was very confused, so I subconsciously shook my head.The huge butterfly in front of her seemed to have turned into a beauty in a chest-length dress, with a glamorous face, ten fingers like green onions, and a jade butterfly swaying gently on her crisp chest.The beauty was walking towards him singing a song, with a charming smile on her face.

Xu Cheng seemed to wake up a little bit, and seemed to be in a dream. He saw a young man in white suddenly appearing behind the beauty. Although his eyes were closed and his steps were a little flimsy, he still didn't put down the blood-dripping sword in his hand. pierced her heart.The beauty wailed and wanted to turn back into a butterfly, but failed, and her long skirt was stained dark red with blood.Even so, the man in white did not let her go, but dug out her left eye after she died, and then took a silver-white bead from his arms and stuffed it into the bloody eye socket.In the end, he smiled slightly, put the beauty into the coffin, and cursed her to wait for a thousand years before waking up...

"Xiao Chengcheng!" Shouted in his ears, Xu Cheng woke up suddenly, but when he stepped back, he bumped into the open coffin, and fell backwards into it.Unexpectedly, there was a mezzanine inside, and when the plank was turned over, Xu Chengbian fell into the bottom layer, just facing a female corpse.

The face of the female corpse was exactly what he saw in his dream!
