Holy Bone

Chapter 255
In this bloody tomb.

Along the way, you can see mummies sacrificed by living people.

Some mouths are dark and wide open, struggling to straighten their arms from the top of their heads, as if trying to grab something.

Some were lying on the ground with fear and despair on their faces, desperately trying to break free from the roots of the soul-cultivating tree that entangled their calves.

……

What you see along the way is all purgatory on earth.

Many times, everyone had to bow their heads and walk carefully under the mummies above their heads, trying to avoid the mummies and the roots that stepped on the ground.

From time to time, some strange stone statues can be seen in the tomb passage.

These statues are not human heads.

Just a bust.

And the facial features are particularly exaggerated.

For example, the openings at the corners of the eyes are almost open to the back of the head, the mouth is so big that it reaches the base of the ears, the facial contours are sharp and angular, and the expression is heavy.

There are not many of these strange stone statues, and they are some distance apart. Only by walking through the tomb passage can we occasionally see lonely stone statues.

According to Mr. Feng Shui's explanation, the style of these stone statues is like the stone statues used by wizards in the past. This also confirms that this tomb passage is indeed a sacrificial pit for living souls to sacrifice to living people.

"Mr. Yi, have you noticed that although we have been moving forward, this tomb passage seems to be going deeper and deeper?"

After walking for a while in the dark, quiet blood-colored tomb, the old Taoist priest who knew Fengshui and Kanyu realized that something was wrong, so he looked at Mr. Fengshui.

Mr. Feng Shui nodded his head and pondered. In fact, he has already seen that something is wrong with this place, and it is very easy to verify it.

You only need to pour some water into the cracks in the floor tiles, and by watching the water flow, you can see whether the tomb passage was built with a slant downward?
As a result, Mr. Feng Shui borrowed it from a few people, and everyone discovered that after the toss along the way, their water bags had been damaged at some point, and the bags were empty, not even a drop of water.

At present, there is only one-third of the water left on Jin An's body, and half of the water left by the old Taoist priest.

"It seems that we have to save some water for the next road. The main tomb above has collapsed. In case we can't find a way out in a short time, this water is life-saving water." In the tomb passage, Jin'an began to distribute everyone's water. water consumption.

Since clear water is precious, Mr. Feng Shui will naturally not use clear water to test the terrain of the tomb passage. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest's Tai Chi Eight Diagrams bag contains all kinds of treasures, and there are many small porcelain bottles and jars.

"This porcelain bottle contains corpse oil. Maybe there will be places where corpse oil is needed on the next road. Use this bottle. This bottle contains golden sore medicine powder for treating trauma and stopping bleeding."

The old Taoist carefully put away a black porcelain vase like a baby, and then put down another porcelain vase with a round belly.

Sure enough, the round-bellied porcelain vase rolled away in one direction.

No matter how you put it, it will only roll in the same direction.

pat.

pat.

In the following journey, in order to save the few clear water, everyone cut down on unnecessary talking. In the dark and oppressive tomb passage, only clear and crisp footsteps remained.

Facing the mummies and dead people in the tomb passage, and the quiet footsteps in the dark, the timid ones would probably be frightened by the atmosphere here.

"Shh! There's movement!"

In the tombs buried deep in the mountains and old forests, the Fengshui master with the deepest knowledge of Fengshui is often the one with the most "sight and hearing" among them. The Fengshui master suddenly stopped everyone and made a silent movement.

Mr. Fengshui is best at geomantic omen. In the underground tomb, any disturbance of the wind and grass, the disturbance of the burial atmosphere, just like the geomantic omen of mountains and rivers, has a clear vein, and the nose, eyes, and ears are most sensitive to these geomancers.

Physicians are expected to hear and ask.

Fengshui masters are also interested in geomantic omen when searching for dragons and acupuncture points, but they are not about people, but about famous mountains and rivers in the world.

Mr. Feng Shui stretched out his palm and stuck it on the cold and hard stone wall without the roots of the soul-cultivating tree, carefully feeling the wind and grass in the tomb passage.

Everyone looked at Mr. Feng Shui in doubt. They didn't hear anything. They even turned their heads to look at Jin An. Jin An frowned and listened carefully. Hear something.

"Could it be Sword Cutting and the Captain?" Jin An stared.

"The movement came from there. In addition to the rustic atmosphere in this tomb, there is also blood, which is human blood! The movement came from that direction!"

Mr. Feng Shui flapped his nostrils, and from the imperceptible weak airflow, he smelled the smell of blood in this tomb passage besides the rustic atmosphere.

But others didn't smell it.

Only Mr. Feng Shui smelled it underground.

"The direction Mr. Yi is pointing at happens to be the direction where the airflow is blowing. It seems that we can't escape this time. And maybe it's the sword sharpening, the captain, and the others who are in danger!"

The old Taoist said nervously.

As a result, when they ran over eagerly to save people, they still hadn't found anyone, but there were many people's messy footsteps in the tomb passage, as if many people were running for their lives in a panic.

Listening to the footsteps, there were at least 20 people.

"Is there anyone else in this tomb?"

"Where did so many people come from?"

The old Taoist exclaimed.

"I heard the footsteps of so many people, more people than we joined Jian Jian and the captain. Could it be that group of antique dealers and their accomplices are in this tomb?"

At this moment, it was too late to think about it, because the group of messy footsteps approached very quickly, they seemed to have encountered something and were running away in a hurry, and they arrived in a blink of an eye, because they ran in such a hurry, they almost collided with Jin An and the others when they turned the corner together.

When the torches came to light, these people were holding tower shields, and around their waists were military crossbows controlled by the Kangding Kingdom. The surface of their heavy armor was covered with Taoist scriptures on exorcising evil spirits with Chiyang cinnabar.

These people are the heavy armored cavalry guards that the captain brought down to the grave!
"What are you!"

"Daoist Jin'an, Daoist Chen! That's great, did the two Taoists see my general? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. The tree roots in this tomb passage have come alive, run away!"

When the two gangs met, they were all surprised and surprised.

Those heavy armored cavalry guards were pleasantly surprised to recognize Jin An and the old Taoist at first, but they turned their heads to look behind them, and hurriedly urged everyone to escape from here with serious eyes.

what!
The roots of the soul-cultivating wood have come back to life!
The old Taoist priest and mourners looked behind those heavy-armored cavalry guards with a shivering scalp. It's okay not to look, but to look, mother, run!
The scarlet roots sticking to the walls of the tomb passage were now like blood vessels squirming, and the recovery range was rapidly expanding. The scarlet roots were waving in the air, as if they were hunting prey.

Damn it really came alive!Little brother run!The old Taoist urged, turned around and ran wildly with everyone.

"Are any of you injured?"

"These roots are weird, just like piranhas, they will be attracted by the smell of blood and go crazy! These roots will wake up and hunt their prey when they smell a bit of blood!"

After being reminded by the cavalry guard, the rest of the people subconsciously looked at Jin'an.

"Little brother, did you know in advance that the roots of these soul-cultivating trees are sensitive to the smell of blood? That's why you disposed of the dead monkey's body in such a timely manner, crushing the monkey's bones and throwing up the ashes, even the ashes!"

The old Taoist, with old arms and legs, was out of breath running in the tomb passage, and he didn't forget to make a fool of himself to Jin'an.

"Old Daoist, I originally wanted to carry forward the fine tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young. Seeing how tired you are from running, I wanted to take the initiative to run with you. Since you have a lot of time, it means you still have the energy." Jin An stared Old Taoist.

After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist immediately had a bitter face.

Drooping his head withered.

After running for a while, the roots in the tomb passage kept chasing them, even more roots were alarmed by the sound of their fleeing, densely packed tentacles bared their teeth and claws towards them.

"Not good! These soul-cultivating wood roots can hear the sound!"

"Sure enough, at this time, I still have to rely on my share of corpse oil!"

The old Taoist was out of breath after being chased, looked around and complained endlessly.

……

After touching two sticks of incense, Jin An and the others used the corpse oil to cover the three yang fires of the living person, suppressing the blood energy in the body, and finally escaped from the pursuit of those soul-cultivating wood roots in the midst of danger.

"call--"

"Huh-ha-"

"Old, old way, I'm about to die, I can't..."

Just out of danger, the old Taoist felt as if his chest was about to explode as soon as he relaxed. He took a big gulp of air, filling his lungs with fresh and cold air.

Just now, my life was hanging by a thread, I was busy running, and I didn't feel anything, but now as soon as the muscles in my body relax, I suddenly feel pain everywhere.

Until then, taking advantage of everyone's rest and recovery, Jin An and Mr. Feng Shui asked the iron cavalry guards what happened in this tomb passage?
Didn't they guard the tunnel in the fake tomb, couldn't they come down, why did they appear in this tomb again now?

Jin An quickly learned what had happened.

It turned out that these iron cavalry guards were not idle when they stayed in the fake tomb. They waited and waited but did not wait for the captain and others to come up. way.

Since others were able to enter the tomb and the footprints had never been out, there must be another way. Sure enough, they found a robbery hole that had been buried for many years under a buried ruin.

They walked all the way along the robbery cave, and they lived in peace. After some twists and turns, they came to this tomb passage.

The person who robbed the hole was simply amazing. Not only was he able to rob the hole from the outside, he accurately drilled the hole in the southeast corner of the mausoleum, and this time the hole was also accurately drilled into the tomb of the owner of the tomb.

As for why these iron cavalry guards alarmed those soul-cultivating wood roots?

In fact, these roots were not alarmed by the cavalry guards.

The one who alarmed the roots of the Soul Cultivation Tree was the human-dragon man who was an associate of the antique dealer. Like the old Taoist priest and the captain, he hid in the crack of the platform at the last moment and successfully escaped the aftermath of the explosion and the fire of Jueyin corpses.

I don't know if it's the bad luck of these iron cavalry guards, or the bad luck of the human dragon man, the two waves of people happened to run into each other in the tomb passage.

Because the human-dragon man's disguise technique has been destroyed, revealing the true face of the human-dragon facial features.

As for the iron cavalry guards, they all saw what the human-dragon corpse looked like in the false tomb, so when they first saw the human-dragon man, they thought they had encountered a fake corpse in the tomb.

The two waves of people fought fiercely as soon as they met.

Although they are all masters in the army, they can also be ranked among the masters in the martial arts, and they are all well-trained and proficient in army formation coordination, but the human-dragon man, a strong swordsman, still attacked and killed them.

Seeing that the iron barrel formation was about to be shattered, fortunately someone suddenly burst out with potential and repelled the human-dragon man. That is, when the human-dragon man was injured and a drop of blood dripped from the wound to the roots on the ground, Those calm and motionless roots in the tomb passage all rolled towards the human-dragon man like crazy.

According to what these cavalry guards said, if the human-dragon man hadn't been entangled by these weird roots in the tomb passage and dragged the roots in the tomb passage for them, they would not have been able to escape from the desperate situation.

"Hey, in order to save us, the old stone was chased and killed by these roots in the tomb after repelling the man-dragon man. His whereabouts are still unknown, and he doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead. We can survive this time because of the old stone. He saved us all."

"Old Shitou usually eats the same big pot of rice as us, and lives in the same military tent. Who would have thought that Lao Shishi's strength is hidden so deeply, and at the last moment, he erupted and saved the lives of all our brothers..."

The iron cavalry guards, these big men with strong backs and waists, have red eyes and sad eyes at this moment. When they think of their brothers in the army who are like brothers and sisters, they sacrificed themselves to save them at the last moment. .

Looking at the iron cavalry guards whose morale was a bit low, Jin An and the old Taoist took a look and both sighed from the bottom of their hearts.

……

At this time, the roots of the soul-cultivating wood in the ancient tomb gradually calmed down again.

People cannot be resurrected from the dead.

After a short period of low morale, those iron cavalry guards heard the thrilling encounters of Jin'an and the others along the way, and heard that their captain was also in this tomb passage. These soldiers are the most well-trained soldiers in the army, and they quickly recovered Morale, lead Jinan to find the exit of the robbery cave they came from.

If Captain Lieutenant and Chijian were still alive, they must be looking for the exit at this time, and perhaps they are already on the way to the exit.

Although the roots in the tomb passage have returned to calm, just to be on the safe side, everyone endured the heavy smell on their bodies, did not wipe off the corpse oil on their bodies, continued to suppress the three Yang fires and blood energy with corpse oil, and began to rush towards the robber's cave rush to.

Because they ran back a long way this time, after about three sticks of incense, Jin An finally saw the place where the iron cavalry guard and the human-dragon man had an encounter.

At this point the place was in a mess.

The walls are covered with marks of cutting with swords and guns, especially the grooves made by the cutting of swords, which are as deep as an inch, which is enough to show that the battle was fierce at that time.

"There seems to be something wrong. There are many more weird roots in this place than when we came..." An iron cavalry guard whispered to Jin'an.

Jin An pondered, and after asking the old Taoist priest and Mr. Feng Shui for their opinions, everyone continued on their way.

This is the only way they can get to the exit.

No matter how dangerous the front is.

I can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

Only when the time comes will the soldiers come to cover up the water and soil.

The roots of the tomb passage here are indeed much more than other places along the way, and there are even many places where it is difficult to get off, just like walking carefully in a spider's web.

"Hush! Mr. Jin'an, look there!"

Mr. Feng Shui, who has the most sensitive five senses in the tomb, suddenly stopped everyone, and raised his finger to point to a position in front of him.

In the dim light of the torches, everyone could vaguely see the top of the blood-colored tomb. It seemed that there was a mass struggling, and the struggle was getting weaker and weaker. Looking carefully, it was a person, it was a human-dragon man!
But at this time, the human-dragon man was very miserable.

He was like a silkworm chrysalis, entwined with blood-colored roots. Those blood-colored roots squirmed, penetrated into the body from the wounds, eyes, ears, nose, and nose of the human-dragon man, sucking human blood crazily.

Those roots were glistening with blood.

Twinkle in the dark, twinkle.

There is an indescribable evilness and charm.

The recovery ability of the human-dragon man, at this moment, has become his cocoon. In the tightly entwined countless roots, his body dies and recovers again and again, and the pain and despair he faces when he is killed and killed longer.

In long agony and despair.

Feeling the vitality of the body passing away little by little, and the blood being drained little by little.

In the long wait to die.

Experience torture.

This is probably worse than Ling Chi's execution.

"This is a terrible way to die, you deserve it, you're in a cocoon!" the old Taoist cursed in a low voice.

Among the people present, no one felt sorry for this man, these antique dealers, all of them did many evils, and none of them was innocent.
