Across the Sky From the Stop of Time

  Chapter 389 Exploring the Nine-story Demon Building

  After dismissing Shirley Yang who was in the way, Hao Shuai quickly went to the first floor of the demon building.

  The first floor is an open area with no walls on all sides, only a few pillars, and a corpse is tied on all sides of each pillar.

  From the degree of decay of the corpses, it can be seen that these people should have been hanged after being killed, otherwise there should only be some powder left.

  Hao Shuai did not express any emotion about the burial system of the Demon Kingdom, anyway, the person who died was not a flower grower (not at that time).

  There is nothing worth noting (valuable) on the entire first floor. The only thing that looks worthwhile is the necklaces on the necks of the corpses. They are all strung with dzi beads, turquoise and the like.

   But it is only valuable in the 21st century, and it is not popular now.

Hao Shuai, who had nothing to gain, climbed up the stairs to the second floor. On this floor, there were no dead to be buried with him, only some bull heads piled up in a mani pile, all with gray skulls and horns. This should be a worship of cows, because Yaks are treasures all over the plateau, but in ancient Tibet, no matter which tribe, they are relatively unified in this point.

  The third floor is full of wordless ghost banners with star patterns. The star patterns are divided into five colors: red, blue, white, green, and black. Black ghost banners are the most and blue ghost banners are the least.

  Based on his memory, Hao Shuai knew that the colors of these ghost flags represented different beliefs, but he didn't pay much attention to it and went straight to the fourth floor.

  In the demon building on the fourth floor, there are countless pebbles engraved with different symbols. They may be the legendary scripture stones. They may be valuable to the archaeologist Professor Chen and the others, but in the eyes of Hao Shuai, they are piles of rotten stones.

   Out of support for Professor Chen’s archaeological career, Hao Shuai kindly brought three or four stones, took pictures of the rest with a camera, and gave them to Professor Chen later.

   Hao Shuai, who had found nothing so far, quickened his pace and went up layer by layer. It was not until the eighth floor that he discovered that there were several stone coffins placed on this floor.

  Hao Shuai guessed that these should be the coffins of the concubines who were buried with him. After all, the Lord of the Demon Kingdom should not be allowed to go on the road alone!

Although I know that there should be some valuable funerary objects in the coffin, Hao Shuai is not the one who saw Fatty Wang's eyes open. It is pitiful enough that these people were forced to be buried with them in life. After death, let them feel at ease sleep forever!

   Waiting for Hao Shuai to go up to the last floor, he saw a large round stone platform in the middle, and on the stone platform was a huge human-shaped sarcophagus, like a mummy.

  In Hao Shuai's perception, the yin and resentment of the entire nine-story demon building were all gathered here.

   It's all come to this point, Hao Shuai is also unambiguous, directly grabbing a corner of the coffin lid, and exerting force suddenly.

   "Ka~ka~"

  With a few crisp sounds, the coffin nails on the coffin lid were lifted one by one.

   Just when Hao Shuai was about to lift the lid of the coffin in one go, it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have forgotten to light a candle in the southeast corner.

  But then he shook his head, forgetting that he was a Taoist priest in Maoshan, and he was afraid of a ghost blowing the lamp.

  If ghosts really dare to come, the custody will arrest them and educate them first to save them.

   "Boom~"

  The lid of the coffin was overturned directly to the ground.

  In an instant, a pungent stench wafted from the coffin.

   Fortunately, Hao Shuai had been prepared, and directly wrapped himself in his thoughts, isolating the stink in it.

  After the stench gradually dissipated, Hao Shuai looked into the coffin.

  poor~~

  This is Hao Shuai’s first reaction, he’s so **** poor~~

  Who would have thought that in the coffin of the majestic monarch of the Demon Kingdom, there is only a rotten robe covering the corpse that has become a bone, and there is nothing else in the whole coffin.

  Huh~

   Just when Hao Shuai was disappointed, he noticed some bulges on the right side and chest of the bones.

  The curious Hao Shuai used his thoughts to lift off the rotten robe, and saw a golden scepter on the right side of the skeleton.

  This scepter is inlaid with large and small gemstones, and an eyeball-shaped ruby ​​is inlaid on the top, which can be said to be of excellent quality.

  Good guy~~

  Isn’t it true that the ruler of the Demon Kingdom made all his possessions into this scepter?

  As soon as Hao Shuai got his hands on it, he knew it was a golden scepter made of gold, plus the various gemstones on it, it could be said to be priceless.

  After putting the scepter into the space without hesitation, Hao Shuai lifted the robe in front of his chest, and found a bead with a diameter of about five centimeters and a pitch-black appearance on the position of his heart.

  As soon as he got the bead, Hao Shuai couldn't help shivering. Suddenly he felt like he was going to be frozen, and it was the kind of cold that penetrated into the soul.

  It was only then that Hao Shuai discovered that this bead had condensed a huge amount of Yin Qi and resentment, and was still absorbing the Yin Qi from the outside world.

   No wonder Hao Shuai felt that all the yin energy in the nine-story demon building gathered here, the reason is here!

   "Ah~~~"

   While Hao Shuai was researching what the black bead was, a loud cry echoed in the cave.

   "Buzzing~~"

   Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of buzzing sound of insects vibrating their wings, and the fire ladybug inhabiting the nine-story demon building seemed to be awakened by the sound.

   "Fuck! Which idiot called that."

Seeing this scene, without hesitation, Hao Shuai jumped down from the ninth floor (flying down). As soon as he landed, Hao Shuai ran towards the place where Hu Bayi and the others were, and at the same time asked : "Old Hu, what's going on?"

   "The magic stick, it wasn't made by the uneasy Professor Chen."

  It turned out that it was Sa Dipeng who yelled just now. He lost his foothold while researching and fell down in the ditch. Unfortunately, the bones in the ditch scratched his palm, so he yelled out.

   "Old Hu, it's useless to say these things now, protect them and go first, and I'll come to the rear. Hurry~ hurry~ hurry~" Hao Shuai urged.

  Under the urging of Hao Shuai, Professor Chen, with the help of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, fled the cave in a hurry and headed for the exit.

  At this time, the fire ladybug in the nine-story demon building had fully awakened, and the blue fireballs lit up like countless bright lights, reflecting the entire underground space in the cave blue!

  When Hao Shuai arrived at the entrance of the cave, countless fire ladybugs had turned into blue fireballs and rushed towards Hao Shuai.

   "Mysterious Divine Palm!"

A huge slap made of true energy slapped the fire ladybug in the air, and instantly scattered the huge blue fireball formed by hundreds of fire ladybugs. Most of the fire ladybugs were slapped to death on the spot. A small number of them were frozen to death by the cold air from Xuanming God's Palm.

   "It's a pity that I don't know how to Frost Fist. Otherwise, I can freeze the entire cave with a single move of Frost Snow and Ice Mountain, which will save trouble!" Hao Shuai, who was not very satisfied with the result of the battle, said depressedly.

  Hao Shuai used his body as a screen to seal the entire entrance of the cave, making it impossible for thousands of fire ladybugs to break through, buying time for Hu Bayi and the others to retreat.

   However, the number of fire ladybugs is indeed too much, and one batch will die and another one will come.

  Because the fire ladybug was a purely physical attack and couldn't burn through the mind barrier, Hao Shuai simply sealed the hole with mind power and let the fire ladybug hit the mind barrier.

  During the period, out of curiosity, Hao Shuai caught a batch of fire ladybugs alive with a large glass cover, intending to study what they were.

   After feeling that the time was almost up, Hao Shuai hit the mountains on both sides with all his strength.

   "Boom"

   "Boom"

  Accompanied by two explosions, the rocks collapsed, completely burying the entrance of the cave.

   After cutting off the chasing path of the fire ladybug, Hao Shuai sent the fire ladybug captured alive to the world of Elysium, and then returned to chase Hu Bayi and the others.
