Chapter 96 Da Yue, will it be destroyed? (8000)
The Eighth Prince knew very well that the key to this plan was the map.
But the map has been snatched by Qianmianhu, and Xu Bai and others came over, making himself lose the opportunity to continue to **** the map back.
One back and forth, the original careful plan, due to various reasons, has become a bad job today.
sucks, really sucks.
And all of this is because of that Jianghu man named Xu Bai.
If it weren't for Xu Bai, I'm afraid Yun Zihai would have been killed long ago. If it wasn't for Xu Bai, even if Yun Zihai came here first, he might not be able to pass the level of the ghost sculptor. If it wasn't for Xu Bai, he would have done it long ago. .
Why start this second plan again?
The eighth prince has always believed that he is an extremely cautious person, so he has been preparing a second plan.
But he really didn't want to use this second set of plans.
Feeling the rapidly draining blood from his body, and feeling the elixir in his mouth, the Eighth Prince smiled wryly.
The elixir was slowly melting, and he could clearly feel that the speed of melting could last till the end.
Even if it is a sixth-grade master, he will die if he loses too much blood.
The wound was slowly healing. In order to prevent the wound from completely healing, the Eighth Prince wiped the wound from time to time to make the wound deepen.
While splattering blood, he moved forward quickly.
The Eighth Prince's speed is very fast. Fortunately, there is royal blood, and the surrounding organs have not been triggered.
But he knew very well that the walls would absorb blood, very fast.
This is the mechanism set up by the emperor. If someone follows up from behind, at the speed of the wall absorbing blood, when there are not many people behind, they will face the mechanism again.
The eighth prince didn't know if Xu Bai and the others got the map, but he thought that even if they got the map, the mechanism behind it would be able to block the opponent for at least a moment.
After all, he is walking unscrupulously, and the other party needs to walk while looking at the map.
Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince walked even faster.
There is still an airtight passage ahead, and the surroundings look ordinary, but the Eighth Prince knows in his heart that there are countless dangers inside.
The passage was dark, and the Eighth Prince was walking while spattering blood, bleeding profusely.
Speeding all the way, the passage ahead is getting narrower and narrower.
The narrower the passage, the more difficult it will be to use it in the event of an accident.
Obviously, the designer of this passage is deeply silent about this passage, and in the end, only one person can pass through.
When the Eighth Prince walked another distance, something abnormal suddenly appeared in front of him.
The so-called willows and flowers bright another village, the narrow passage gradually became wider, and finally, the Eighth Prince stopped in front of a door.
This door is extremely wide, with a distance of about ten meters on the left and right sides, and this space is also unbelievably large.
"According to the records in that book, this door is the last passage." The eighth prince was ecstatic: "If I can enter, I will be able to obtain the imperial uncle's legacy, and by then, I will no longer stop at the sixth rank! "
Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince became more and more excited.
What he wanted was the treasure left behind by King Shengyou after his death.
In fact, the really valuable things were collected by his father into the royal treasury, and the things left in the tomb were not needed by his father.
Of course, even if it is not needed by the royal family, it is enough to cause **** storms in the world.
The Eighth Prince's ambition is not here.
What he needs, the real treasures, are not these.
These are just incidental, what he needs is what is recorded in that book.
By chance, the eighth prince got a book in the imperial library.
In the royal library, most of them can see, and they can only see. The emperor has extremely strict constraints on them.
This book was originally regarded as the autobiography of King Shengyou, and it was placed in the bottom corner, with a thick layer of dust on it.
The Eighth Prince discovered it by accident when he was in the royal treasure house.
At that time, he had stopped at the sixth rank for a long time.
The exercises given by the emperor can only be regarded as middle-level in the sixth rank, and he dare not practice other ones, and the punishment after being discovered is extremely horrific.
Being depressed, he wandered in the royal treasury. He happened to wander into a corner and saw this book covered in dust.
Being in a bad mood at the time, coupled with his curiosity about King Shengyou, the eighth prince opened the book.
Later, I discovered the mystery of this book.
The book is about the past of King Shengyou, and the author of this book is also King Shengyou.
Unknowingly, the Eighth Prince was fascinated by it.
A book that describes the magnificent life of King Shengyou.
The prince followed the emperor in the southern and northern wars, and it can be said that he has made great military exploits. His whole life is condensed in this book, which is amazing.
Just as the eighth prince was fascinated by watching it, he didn't expect that he saw the mystery in it next.
The skills practiced by King Shengyou lies in the strength of the army, especially when he is in the army, it is even more unique for a while.
Even if all the soldiers are ordinary people, under the army of King Shengyou, they can reverse the situation.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that King Shengyou died and was buried.
But in the end, I still haven't seen the so-called Tiger Talisman.
What is Tiger Talisman?
Tiger talisman is a military talisman used by the emperor to dispatch troops. It is made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger. It is split into two halves. The left half is given to the general, and the right half is kept by the emperor.
Only when two Tiger Talismans are used together at the same time, the holder of the Talisman will have the right to dispatch troops.
But in the Great Chu Kingdom, King Shengyou has the complete Tiger Talisman, because the emperor has enough trust in it, and because at that time, King Shengyou voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the throne.
The method of the army formation, if it dies, it will be integrated into the things that are often in charge and closely related to it when it is alive.
This also means that the Tiger Talisman may have been integrated into King Shengyou's military formation.
As for why the eighth prince knows, it comes from the content that the eighth prince is in charge of.
The Eighth Prince is in charge of entering and leaving the royal treasure house.
Although he was in charge, he didn't dare to act rashly.
When King Shengyou died, the things that entered the royal treasury were related to King Shengyou, but there were no tiger charms.
There are only two possibilities.
One is that the emperor himself kept it. After all, the importance of the tiger talisman is more valuable than most of the items in the royal treasury.
The second is to be a funeral object for King Shengyou.
According to what is written in this book, the Eighth Prince believes that the second possibility is extremely great.
In this book, King Shengyou said a word.
—The emperor only trusts one person in his life, and that is King Shengyou.
Based on this analysis, the Eighth Prince believed that the Tiger Talisman might have become a funerary object.
the reason is simple.
First of all, the emperor himself does not know how to use military formations.
Secondly, the emperor only trusted King Shengyou, so how could he give such an important thing to a second person?
King Shengyou without the army is very weak.
And why did King Shengyou go to Sheng County alone?
In this autobiography, the most important reason is recorded in detail, and it is still at the end.
It said that he was going to Sheng County alone with the Tiger Talisman.
That's all.
Apart from this, there is no other news, only this paragraph.
The most important thing about the Eighth Prince is also in this passage.
—Tiger Talisman!
When King Shengyou left, he was carrying the Tiger Talisman, but until now, he has not seen any news of the Tiger Talisman.
The royal treasury he is in charge of has not, and since he got the book, he has been investigating secretly.
In the end, I really found out a piece of news for him.
The people who buried King Shengyou and built the mausoleum for King Shengyou were all secretly executed by the emperor, but one of them was still alive in the end.
He worked so hard to escape from the siege that year.
Ever since he escaped, he didn't dare to have any strange thoughts, so he kept his name incognito until he was discovered by the Eighth Prince.
To be precise, it was not discovered by the Eighth Prince, but by the Thousand-faced Fox.
At that time, after Qianmianhu took this person to find the eighth prince, he chatted with the eighth prince about many things, and finally the eighth prince made up his mind to do it.
According to that person, the map of the tomb has been hidden in the royal treasury.
The eighth prince immediately reached a cooperation with Qianmianhu, and used his power to steal the map quietly.
But he was discovered in the end, and he escaped by feigning death while still alive.
Then there are things after that, until now.
The Tiger Talisman is really important. If he had the Tiger Talisman, he would have the capital to fight against the Emperor.
Recalling the strict restrictions imposed on them by the emperor, especially when they thought that they could not even break through to the sixth rank, the Eighth Prince was already dissatisfied.
Coupled with the huge benefits of the Tiger Talisman, the Eighth Prince couldn't get rid of it at all, so he decided to take a risk.
Looking at the incomparably huge door in front of him, the Eighth Prince was excited, slowly raised his hand, and pressed against the door.
There was still blood on the big hand. When the palm touched the door, the whole door made a rumbling sound, and then slowly opened a crack.
The gap gradually became larger and wider, and in a blink of an eye, the door opened automatically, revealing the space inside.
It's all dark inside, I can't see clearly.
The eighth prince thought that there was no longer any delay, the effect of the medicine in his mouth was about to disappear, so he raised his foot and walked in.
When he stepped inside, the darkness in front of him was gradually disappearing.
It wasn't just the darkness that disappeared, the door that opened behind him slammed shut tightly.
And the moment the door was closed, the darkness inside appeared and became bright.
Torches are embedded on the wall one by one, lighting up the surroundings.
The moment the torch was lit, the Eighth Prince saw the surrounding scene, the hairs all over his body stood upright, and the pupils shrank slightly, as if seeing a terrifying monster.
The originally dark space became bright, and in a blink of an eye, he saw one after another terracotta warriors.
Square and square camp, the distance between each terracotta warrior is less than half a meter, covering the entire room.
The spacious and huge room can fully accommodate tens of thousands of terracotta warriors, which looks extremely solemn and solemn.
But apart from the solemnity, the Eighth Prince felt an extremely cold and gloomy feeling, which made his heart tremble endlessly.
He felt that the group of terracotta warriors seemed to come to life, staring at him with an incomparably cold gaze, making him feel cold all over his body and unable to walk.
This feeling came suddenly, without any warning, not even giving him the slightest buffer space.
The line of sight extended along the group of terracotta warriors, and spread to the end in a blink of an eye.
At the end of the group of terracotta warriors, there is a dark sarcophagus suspended in the air.
On the sarcophagus, there are layers of iron chains, and the ends of the iron chains are nailed to the wall. It is precisely because of the nails to the wall that they float in mid-air.
"It's not right, it's definitely not right!" The eighth prince couldn't control himself anymore, stretched out his trembling hand, pointed at the group of terracotta warriors in front of him, and made a sound of fear.
How come there are terracotta warriors here, and there are so many?
The most important thing is the sarcophagus, which is protected behind by the terracotta warriors. Looking at the standing posture of these terracotta warriors, it seems that they are guarding their king.
Accompanied by the sound of fear, the eighth prince suddenly stopped moving, like a wooden sculpture, standing in place, and slowly retracted the raised hand.
Just for a moment, a layer of gray-white traces appeared on the Eighth Prince's body.
After the traces appeared, as time went by, the color was getting worse, and in a blink of an eye, it changed from off-white to earthy yellow.
In addition to getting thicker in color, the khaki color continued to thicken, gradually spreading from the Eighth Prince's skin, filling his whole body up and down.
"Living terracotta warriors! I know! I know!" The Eighth Prince shouted again, but his words stopped in the next moment, because his whole body was filled with khaki soil.
Gradually, the eighth prince lost his breath of life, and just kept his original appearance, slowly raised his feet, and walked into the phalanx of terracotta warriors.
"Snapped!"
Accompanied by a slight sound, the torches around the wall were extinguished, and everything returned to normal.
But this is only to restore the darkness, and other changes have been produced in the darkness.
A series of nightmare-like whispers echoed throughout the night.
The ground began to vibrate at a strange frequency, and the amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger, spreading towards the entire mausoleum.
…
An abnormality appeared on the Eighth Prince's side. In the passage away from the Eighth Prince, Xu Bai and the others were slowly advancing with the map in their hands.
Using Zhou Qing's words, there is absolutely no rush for this matter, because there will definitely be unimaginable traps in the tomb of King Shengyou like this.
They compared the position on the map. Although the speed was not fast, they were safe.
From the approximate location on the map, you can see a relatively perfect outline.
From this outline, the mausoleum should be closed and can only enter and exit in one direction.
The eighth prince cannot escape, if he wants to escape, he can only escape from their direction.
Unexpectedly, the journey was very safe, and Xu Bai didn't realize the difference until halfway through.
"You look at the wall?"
On the wall, there were dark red blood stains, which had already dried up.
"Is the eighth prince injured?" Yun Zihai was slightly taken aback.
"Maybe, no one can say for sure about this." Xu Bai said: "But if his body is not found, none of us can relax our vigilance."
It is not known whether he was injured or had other plans.
But if you want to know the real answer, you have to go all the way.
The few people no longer hesitated, and Zhou Qing became more focused, holding the map, and walking a little faster.
As they walked, everyone felt more and more strange. The reason was simple. The blood on the wall was spread evenly, almost without breaking along the way.
The amount of bleeding is huge, okay!
Who has so much blood to spend on this?
Already done it, still alive?
"It's a hematopoietic pill, a pill in the royal treasure house." Qingxue said suddenly.
He himself is the personal maid of the Ninth Princess, and when he saw the bizarre scene in front of him, he naturally thought of that elixir.
"It seems that our Eighth Prince was not injured, but escaped the mechanism in this way." Xu Bai rubbed his chin, thought of everything he had seen before, and came to a conclusion.
"Hurry up." Yun Zihai urged Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing turned around and said helplessly: "It's already the fastest speed."
Dense sweat appeared on his forehead, obviously due to excessive concentration, this level is very harmful to the body.
After all, he was in front. Once he made a mistake, dangers would flood in and completely drown them.
Xu Bai just wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a strange change appeared.
The ground began to vibrate at a certain frequency, and the amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger, and people were almost unable to stand still.
"Not good!" Yun Zihai became alert.
But at this time, the feeling of vibration began to gradually decrease again, and it disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
Everything returned to normal, as if nothing happened, but the feeling just now was too obvious to deceive everyone's eyes.
"What happened just now?" Qingxue asked suspiciously.
Several other people shook their heads in unison, expressing that they were not clear.
This place has become more and more weird, and everyone felt that there was no longer any delay, so they let Zhou Qing continue to lead the way and walked into the passage.
The passage became narrower and narrower. After they walked for a certain distance, their eyes suddenly opened up again, and then a huge door came into view.
There are exquisite reliefs on the gate, just looking at it makes people feel happy, and it matches the surrounding dark environment.
Xu Bai came closer, and in the darkness, he saw a **** handprint on the gate.
"Can it be opened?" Xu Bai turned his head and asked.
Since seeing the door, Zhou Qing has not spoken to him, as if he saw something strange, he lowered his head in thought.
He didn't realize until after Xu Bai asked, he made two oh-oh, and nodded repeatedly.
The map doesn’t say there’s any danger here, so it should be able to be opened.
Xu Bai frowned: "What were you thinking just now?"
Accompanied by Xu Bai's voice, the others also looked over.
Zhou Qing smiled wryly and said: "I walked through this passage just now, and I always feel familiar, especially the passage from wide to narrow, and then from narrow to wide, as if I saw it in a book of our family, but I didn't I majored in this aspect, so my memory is not very clear, and I can’t remember it.”
Xu Bai pondered for a while.
Can't tell, but it seems familiar, Zhou Qing is like talking nonsense.
"Everyone, let's get ready." Zhou Qing seemed to know that what he said was useless, so he picked up the map in his hand and came to the gate.
He looked up at the door stained with **** fingerprints, and looked down at the map in his hand. After about half a stick of incense, he finally turned his head and looked at Xu Bai and the others.
"The map didn't say that there is any way to open it. Why do I always feel that something is wrong here? This place is very narrow at first, and then becomes extremely wide. I always feel that the memory in my mind is getting clearer and clearer. Wait for me. "Zhou Qing beat his head hard, as if he wanted to regain the forgotten memory in his mind.
It has reached this point, and everyone is waiting patiently without urging.
About half of the incense stick time has passed.
Zhou Qing has been observing the gate and the reliefs on it, with no sign of moving his eyes away.
At this time, he finally let go of his hand, turned to look at Xu Bai and the others, the shock that could never be concealed in his eyes had been seen clearly by Xu Bai and the others.
"Go! It's the way to reverse life and death!" Zhou Qing just said this word briefly, and was about to return along the original road, without any sign of stopping.
"What's the matter? Please explain clearly first." Xu Bai frowned, thinking that the matter was not so simple, and there must be a big guy hiding here.
"This is definitely not something we can deal with. Remember when we came in, first it changed from wide to narrow, and then from narrow to wide? Does it look like two opposing funnels?" Zhou Qing gestured with his hand, his face Showing a bitter smile, he described the terrain they walked on before.
Xu Bai thought about it carefully for a moment, and it was really like this. The places they walked were indeed distributed according to this terrain.
But here comes the question, what does the so-called reversal of life and death mean?
Not only Xu Bai, Yun Zihai and Qingxue didn't know the way to do this, they all focused their eyes on it, waiting for Zhou Qing to give them an answer.
Zhou Qing organized his language, and knew that he had to speak clearly at this time, otherwise he would be the one to blame himself.
"The so-called method of reversing life and death is to use a special formation to bring people back from the dead. To put it simply, it is not resurrection from the dead, because that person is not completely dead, buried in the ground, and uses dead energy to bury life. Disperse completely."
"As for the funnel-shaped terrain we saw before, part of it is facing the outside, which is to pour life into it from the outside. After shrinking and compressing, it expands from another funnel, replacing life with life."
"The anger I'm talking about instead of death is just a synonym. The so-called anger refers to all people who have the breath of a living person, and we are that person, and the Eighth Prince is also that person."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing roughly explained it clearly.
He just kept silent, waiting for Xu Bai to give the next instruction. After all, here, Xu Bai is the one who can really call the shots.
Whether it is fighting or retreating, we must give an explanation.
Xu Bai touched his chin with his hand, and after thinking over what Zhou Qing said just now, he got a shocking idea.
"King Shengyou didn't die completely, he wants to live again?"
Combined with what Zhou Qing said just now, the terrain here is also in line with what Zhou Qing said, and coupled with the identity of the person buried here, Xu Bai quickly guessed this.
As soon as this bold idea was uttered, everyone present was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
No one here is stupid, everyone is smart, and they think very clearly about many things.
When Xu Bai said this answer, they immediately thought of the possibility.
To be precise, the possibility is still very high.
"My lord...isn't he dead?" Qingxue's ruddy lips were opened wide enough to hold a lot of things.
If that's the case, they really can't stay here.
Who is King Shengyou?
If you are still alive, stomping your feet will turn the entire Great Chu Kingdom upside down.
Qingxue is a maid of the royal family, so of course she knows the inside story better than some laymen, especially the great achievements of King Shengyou.
That is the person who makes the entire hostile country tremble.
"I think we have to go back first, and then I want to report back to His Majesty to see how he handles it." Yun Zihai said with a serious face.
Although he has his own mission, the predicament he is facing now has exceeded the limit he can handle, and it is something he can't handle at all.
What's more, he is not the kind of pedantic scholar. After encountering things, the most important thing is to be flexible.
Xu Bai didn't care, anyway, he was just a helper this time, since Yun Zihai didn't want to participate anymore, then he was eager to turn around and leave, anyway, after turning around and leaving, his reward would not be less.
Everyone seemed to be slow from knowing the situation to making up their minds to leave, but in fact they only made this decision in an instant.
With little hesitation, they turned around and prepared to leave.
But at the next moment, a strange situation appeared in this dark passage.
"Boom!"
A burst of rumbling sounds sounded behind him.
When Xu Bai turned his head and saw the situation behind him, his brows were tightly knit together.
Behind them, the originally dark passage collapsed, blocking their retreat, but now, they only have the door in front of them.
When the collapsed passage appeared behind him, the door in front of him also made a tooth-piercing sound, opening at an extremely slow speed.
Xu Bai: "..."
Does this mean you have to go in?
As far as the situation in front of me is concerned, it really means this. There is no way behind, but there is darkness in life.
Zhou Qing's face was pale, and he muttered to himself: "Reversing the yin and yang of life and death, yin and yang cut off life and death, it's over, it's over, it's done, he's alive."
In the words, apart from a tremor, there was more boundless fear.
What they are about to face is the King Shengyou who was once in the Great Chu Kingdom but made the entire Great Yue Kingdom shudder.
Yun Zihai thought for a while, then took a silent step forward, walking in front of the crowd.
"Snapped!"
Accompanied by a slight sound, the dark space behind the gate was illuminated, and torches were planted around the walls. When all the light sources gathered together, the entire space was like daytime.
The countless terracotta warriors and the sarcophagus suspended at the end make this space lifeless and full of endless murderous intent.
Xu Bai frowned, feeling that something was wrong here.
This murderous aura is so strong that even an ordinary person would be able to feel it clearly.
But Xu Bai and the others are not ordinary people. They have all experienced various **** scenes. In terms of perception in this regard, they can perceive the pervasive abnormalities in the killing intent.
This murderous aura is natural, it is generated by each terracotta warrior, and it is irresistible, and it is not aimed at them.
In other words, when they walked into this huge and incomparable space, there was no crisis yet.
"What's that?" At this moment, Qingxue suddenly raised her white right hand and pointed to a position.
When everyone heard the voice, they followed the location pointed by Qingxue and found that the location pointed was the huge sarcophagus.
On the sarcophagus, there is a faint phantom, shaking constantly.
When this phantom appeared, an extremely domineering aura continued to permeate, suppressing the murderous aura in the entire space by three points.
Domineering and powerful!
It is full of the coercion of the superior, but also has a sense of iron and blood.
It's like a mountain that towers into the clouds. Standing in front of it, whether it's a huge giant elephant or a tiny ant, there will be a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by the appearance of this phantom, a terracotta warrior suddenly cracked on the ground, and then all the soil on it shattered and fell to the ground, revealing the true face inside.
Inside the terracotta warriors, a man dressed in black stood expressionlessly. His hands were drooping and his eyes were closed. There was a tranquility on his face, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Eighth Prince!" Yun Zihai's pupils shrank.
He could no longer feel the breath of life on the Eighth Prince's body. He was obviously completely dead, but for some reason, he was still standing on the ground.
After Yun Zihai yelled these words, the Eighth Prince suddenly changed.
He was like an ice cube, slowly melting and disappearing in front of everyone.
There are no traces on the ground, and they disappeared for no reason.
At this time, the breath in this space changed again.
The domineering aura became even more violent after the Eighth Prince disappeared. At the same time, besides the domineering aura, there was a little more anger.
As for the reason why it can be felt, it is that each change in aura is too strong, so strong that even ordinary people can detect it.
Xu Bai raised his head, looked at the phantom standing above the coffin, and said, "It's coming."
What?
coming soon?
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then followed Xu Bai's gaze to look over, and immediately showed horrified expressions.
I saw that this phantom gradually solidified and turned into the appearance of a person, and the appearance of this person was the original Eighth Prince.
Although the face looks exactly like the Eighth Prince, everyone can feel that this person is not the Eighth Prince.
Just because of that domineering and strong aura, the Eighth Prince couldn't keep up even if he flattered him.
"Bringing back to life, could it be..." Zhou Qing paled.
When this person who was exactly like the Eighth Prince appeared, he waved his hand lightly.
Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared on the tens of thousands of terracotta warriors below.
The sound of shattering can be heard endlessly, and this scene makes people feel magnificent.
The cracks on the terracotta warriors fell off, and one living person after another came out of it.
They are all living people, without any breath of the dead.
When these living people walked out, they turned around and knelt down to the people on the coffin.
On the coffin, the "Eighth Prince" waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and turned his gaze to Xu Bai and the others with boundless arrogance.
"They are all good seedlings." The first sentence came out, as if to praise them.
Immediately afterwards, the second sentence was also uttered, but the momentum changed, becoming murderous.
"Dayue, will you die?"
You all know why the Eighth Prince got the book, right? ()
