Chapter 563: Into the Ghost Town

Everyone looked at the impermanence ghost kneeling on the ground in front of them, and they were all speechless in shock, this impermanence ghost stretched out his arms forward, his whole face was tightly pressed into the soil, and he knelt down and bowed to Qin Yueyang.

This kind of kneeling ritual is actually a very ancient ritual in Chinese civilization, and it is the primitive situation of kowtowing as we know it now.

Many people think that killing people is not enough to nod their heads, and it is the greatest etiquette for people to kneel down and hit the ground with their heads on the ground, but in fact, before the Warring States period, all slaves were prostrate on the ground when they bowed to their masters, not only touching the ground with their heads, but also with their arms and faces close to the ground, in order to show their humility and the nobility of their masters.

When I go to Tibet now, I see that some Buddhists among the Tibetan people also bow down to the ground when they bow down to the gods and Buddhas, which is a continuation of this form of ritual.

The woman-like creature looked eerie, naked and prostrate in the dirt, with its face and arms buried in the dirt, but she remained motionless, as if waiting for an order to allow it to rise.

Chen Zhi immediately gave everyone a boo gesture, signaling everyone not to speak. Faced with the situation at hand, it is clear that there are two conclusions:

First, the creatures in this ghost city must have died a long time ago, but there are survivors, this impermanence ghost has survived, in this ghost city of Yingdu, there is no concept of time, this ghost slave does not seem to know that his companions have died, and he is still continuing his work thousands of years ago, it may be in charge of guarding the gate and welcoming the princess sent by humans into the city according to the custom.

The second is that, judging from the groveling attitude of this impermanent ghost, Princess Heqin's status here is not low, and she should be able to give orders to this ghost slave.

"Slave, welcome to marry the god ~~~~", the voice of the impermanence ghost sounded again, this time the sound was even more unpleasant than the last time, like a broken turntable, this creature is estimated to have no vocal cords at all, only relying on the collision of some organs in the body to make sounds, and the tone is extremely sharp and harsh.

Chen Zhi made a gesture to Qin Yueyang at this time, signaling her to walk in front of the impermanence ghost, and then Chen Zhi supported Qin Yueyang beside him, like an envoy to the princess, bowed his head and commanded the impermanence ghost in standard divine script,

"Get up! Go and wait for the side and lead us into the city ...... later".

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, the impermanence ghost on the ground did not have any reaction, and was still crawling there, at this time everyone's sweat came down, Chen Zhi was also very nervous, although he knew the pronunciation of the gods, but he had no concept of the way the ancients spoke in the gods, I don't know if what he just said showed flaws, the impermanence ghost has been an extremely fierce ghost in the underworld since ancient times, if it finds that Chen Zhi and others are disguised, I don't know what it will look like after turning his face......

As the time passed, everyone's nerves tensed, and the long knife of the ghost knife had already revealed its edge, ready to swing it at any time.

At this time, he saw Qin Yueyang take a step forward, imitating Chen Zhi and saying in divine script, "Get up!" Go to the side and wait for ......"

"Yes!" The impermanence ghost immediately stood up from the ground, turned around, and walked towards the other side with the lantern that glowed with a light blue ghost fire.

No one dared to move, but they watched from behind as a woman's naked body walked in the dark, shaking its arms like a human being, its limbs coordinated, but it was very stiff when it walked.

The impermanence ghost walked six or seven meters away from here, stopped, and stood there with a lantern waiting for them.

Only then did everyone dare to take a big breath, Fat Wei was so scared that he was sweating just now, and his heart almost didn't jump out, "This ......, the girls in this mansion have too strong tastes, and Lao Tzu still can't stand it." ”

In this way, they waited in place for more than ten minutes, and the impermanence ghost stood motionless and waited for them, and the return boat did not come for a long time.

In the days before entering the underworld, Chen Zhi had calculated the distance and time in the underworld countless times, and the map of Huangquan was very accurate, and everything was within the planned range so far.

After entering the underground from the bronze gate, their time was only 24 hours, and it had taken thirty minutes to walk from the bronze gate to the Lechuan River, and the waterway from the Lechuan River to the Yingdu City Gate was originally planned to be within ten minutes, although they stayed at the Naihe Bridge, but it did not exceed the time.

Theoretically, the return journey of the Dark Boat should be very fast, because there is no need for the verification of the level of the Nai He Bridge in the middle, according to Chen Zhi's plan, even if all the unexpected situations are added, the return journey cannot exceed 15 minutes at most, once this time is exceeded, things will become very troublesome after that.

There is still a long way to go in the city of Yingdu, if the time limit is exceeded, they will not be able to go to the palace immediately, even if they get the spirit stone, it is meaningless.

At this time, they had been waiting on the bank of the river for a full 15 minutes, but the boat was still far away, Chen Zhi knew that with the skills and psychological quality of those few blue ribbon warriors, it was impossible for them to have any worries when they got on the boat, and they would not allow Hao Ning to have an accident during the boat, there was no other level in the middle of the waterway, and there was only one possibility of this situation at the moment, that is, the last thing Chen Zhi wanted to see in his plan .......

"It's time, let's go!" , Chen Zhi said softly to the people around him.

"What? What about the others? Fat Wei was obviously very worried about his cousin, and said anxiously, "Otherwise, you go first, and I'll wait for them!" ”。

"There's no need to wait, they won't come...... let's go!" , Chen Zhi ordered categorically, and at the same time turned his head and looked at the impermanence ghost holding the blue ghost fire over there, trying to lower his voice as much as possible to prevent it from being heard, "Everyone remember, from now on, no one except me can speak, if there is any problem, I will use the divine language to communicate with that thing, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Yes", everyone responded softly after hearing Chen Zhi's order.

Chen Zhi nodded, then walked to Qin Yueyang's side, and beckoned to the impermanent ghost in the darkness over there, only to see the eyeless woman staggering over, prostrate into the black dirt again, waiting for orders.

Chen Zhi adjusted his tone, and then beside Qin Yueyang, he ordered in divine script, "The princess has an order, lead the way for us!" ”。

"Yes!" ,

The impermanence ghost was very obedient to Chen Zhi's words this time, and it got up from the ground, covered with black mud foam, turned around stiffly, lit the blue lantern, and staggered towards the darkness.

When the impermanence ghost walked a few meters, Chen Zhi waved his hand, and the whole team followed forward.

Fat Wei looked back at the water surface of the Lechuan River very helplessly, his eyes were full of anxiety and worry, but finally turned around and followed the team.

They walked in the dark for a while, according to Chen Zhi's order, everyone did not dare to make a sound, turned off the searchlights, only to see that the blue light in the hands of the impermanence ghost was on, and the blue flame was extremely suitable for here, although the illumination was not high, but the range of light was very far.

Soon, a black and solemn city wall appeared in front of them, the city wall was very high, there was no roof on it, the structure was very rigorous, there was a black gold gate in the middle of the city wall, the gate was densely covered with white ornaments, at first glance it looked like a cluster of white balls, but when they approached, they found that the top of the black gold gate was decorated with human skulls.
