Chapter 492, Blood River Sarcophagus
When everyone saw the figure of Ming Jiutian coming over, they didn't hesitate too much, and after taking a look, they shifted their gaze.
Following everyone's gaze, there is a huge stone gate dozens of zhang high in the center of the mountain wall, which belongs to the design style of two sides.
On each of the two gates is carved a real dragon head statue with angry eyes, and two thick rings hang between the two dragon's mouths, which looks magnificent.
And this stone door does not know what material it is made of, after endless years of baptism, in addition to adding a bit of quaint atmosphere, it has not left a trace of time.
This gate is indeed very beautiful, but Ming Jiutian can't understand why these people are just watching here and not entering? Is there any weirdness in this?
"I don't believe in evil yet..."At this moment, several disciples walked out, and they made a big move against the stone door.
It stands to reason that these disciples have also reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor, and their attack power is extraordinary, but after such a wild bombardment, the stone gate has not been able to leave any traces, which is really strange.
At this time, a disciple who had gone to explore the path came back and reported that there was a suspicion that there were other entrances to enter the interior of this mountain.
Almost instantly, everyone left, and rushed towards the so-called entrance.
Ming Jiutian also followed in the direction where the crowd left, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he found a swarthy hole.
The entrance to the cave is not big, only allowing one person to pass through, and after waiting for everyone to go down, Ming Jiutian also slid down.
The distance between the entrance of this cave was not very long, and after sliding for a while, Ming Jiutian fell to the ground, and at the same time, he also saw the disciple who had come in before.
The inside of the mountain peak, which was supposed to be very dark, was now brightly lit, and dozens of stone carvings in the shape of beasts were on top of their heads, burning flames, illuminating the inside of the cave.
The flame was supposed to be fueled by the grease of some giant monster in the deep sea, and it burned for a long time.
If this flame really burned from ancient times to the present, it would be too powerful, but after inquiry, I learned that it was the disciple who came in earlier who touched the prohibition and ignited it, but after such a long time, it can still be ignited, and it is still very powerful.
"Come and see, everyone, there's a discovery ahead..."Just as Ming Jiutian was looking at the flames in the belly of the mountain, one of the disciples who came in before shouted loudly.
Sure enough, after hearing the shouting, all the disciples here ran towards the sound again, since there was nothing to see here, Ming Jiutian could only follow the crowd towards the inside again.
After passing through the well-dug square passage, he entered a wider space, but the scene in front of him made everyone dare not speak.
I saw that there were mouthfuls of sarcophagi neatly placed in the vast space, and these sarcophagi were carved with very exquisite patterns, and it can be seen that the people who carved these patterns were very attentive.
Looking at the neatly placed sarcophagi, there are hundreds of them, and none of these sarcophagi are covered with coffin lids.
Could it be that in ancient times, this place was used as a coffin shop? At this time, Ming Jiutian's first reaction.
Looking at these sarcophagi of uniform size and style, Ming Jiutian began to look carefully around the sarcophagus.
This style of sarcophagus has been seen before Ming Jiutian, and Hua Qiansong, who had helped Lao Qiao's junior brother Hua Qiansong transport the sarcophagus in the mausoleum of Emperor Xuantian in the Great Chitian, and the sarcophagus looked very similar to the one in front of him.
Although the carving style is a little different, the carving technique seems to have come from the same person, which can be determined by Ming Jiutian.
Could it be that those sarcophagi in the tomb of Emperor Xuantian are all related to this place or this person, right?
Ming Jiutian fell into an extreme shock, who is this person? Ming Jiutian was puzzled.
"Big brother, you said that this place should not be for the sale of coffins, right?"
Seeing so many empty sarcophagi at one time, Ning Xuefei, who was already timid, was already in a cold sweat at this moment.
"That's right, pick a bite and keep it for yourself, look at the production process, and put it outside is definitely worth a lot" Ming Jiutian joked with a smile.
"The coffin is an ominous thing, big brother, don't scare me" Ning Xuefei hurriedly followed when she saw Ming Jiutian leaving.
At this time, Ming Jiutian found a few lines of words on the wall of this space, although they were some ancient inscriptions, but Ming Jiutian recognized them.
I saw the stone wall engraved: Once you enter the river of blood, don't look back, and die a thousand times sadly. It is difficult to prove that there are tears in the sky, and the end of the road is the end.
Ming Jiutian has words in his mouth, it seems that this carver is not only skilled, but also not comparable to others.
But for some reason, after reading these poems, Ming Jiutian can deeply understand the loneliness and loneliness in the hearts of the people who wrote the poems, and they are very sad and sad.
"Ahh Help me..."
Just when Ming Jiutian was immersed in a sad and sad situation, a sudden scream woke Ming Jiutian up.
The sound came from a nearby passage, and the group hurried to the passage.
There was a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting to smell, which made Ming Jiutian frown.
The passage is not long, and what catches your eye is a river, and it is not difficult to tell from the sound of rushing water that this river is a real river.
It's just that the river is blood-red, and the smell of blood is exactly what comes from the river.
At this moment, Ming Jiutian saw that the disciple who had called for help before, soaked in the river water and had lost his breath, but looking at his hideous facial expression, he thought that he must have experienced a particularly painful process in the process of struggling.
"Look over there," exclaimed one of the disciples, pointing to a clearing on the other side of the river.
Looking in the direction that the disciple pointed, there was still a sarcophagus in the open space, which was much less in number than outside, but the workmanship and scale were more elaborate.
More than that, there should be a circular island on the other side of the river of blood, and there seems to be something else in the center of this island.
Suddenly, Ming Jiutian's eyes widened, there seemed to be someone there, I don't know if it was because it was too far away, and the people around didn't seem to see the person on the island.
However, Ming Jiutian was very sure that there was indeed a person on the island, and that person looked to be in his early twenties, and he also had white hair, as if he was polishing something there.
"Xuefei, can you see someone there?" Ming Jiutian whispered while pointing to the location with his finger.
Ning Xuefei listened carefully for a long time in the direction that Ming Jiutian was pointing to, and didn't seem to see the so-called person in Ming Jiutian's mouth.
"Who is anyone, big brother, are you too hard for this time and have hallucinations" Ning Xuefei looked around for a long time, but didn't see the so-called figure.
Maybe it's really because I've worked too hard during this time, and it's not impossible for my eyes to hallucinate.
Ming Jiutian looked at the figure on the island and comforted himself like this. But just as Ming Jiutian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the figure on the island suddenly turned his head to look at Ming Jiutian and smiled weirdly.
It was this look that instantly made Ming Jiutian feel like he was struck by lightning, it was an extremely majestic soul power, like a heavy hammer smashed into Ming Jiutian's heart, making Ming Jiutian stumble and almost unable to stand.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Ning Xuefei next to him saw Ming Jiutian's body that almost fell, and hurriedly held it in front of the mountain.
"It's okay, maybe I'm really tired," Ming Jiutian gritted his teeth and glanced at the figure on the island viciously.
And the person on the island seemed to see Ming Jiutian's eyes, showed a smug smile again, and then continued the work at hand, ignoring Ming Jiutian again.
