With a sound like a watermelon falling from upstairs, the entire mural wall was filled with the black blood of Duren.

Zhuo Ren was smashed into a puddle of flesh by the heavy roof, his head had been slumped and integrated into the mural wall, only his forelimbs were still open and shaking constantly.

Chen Yulou smacked his lips and looked at the misery of this lonely person, after all, he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.

With the passage of time, everyone has wiped out all the solitary people here. Just as Chen Yulou was about to walk over to join them, he caught a glimpse of an extremely strange and indescribable scene.

The six-legged black cauldron that lost its top cover was actually covered in white flowers, full of naked corpses. Judging from the shape of the corpses, there were men, women, old and young, and the number was about seventeen or eight.

These corpses were piled up in the white solidified grease, like skin jelly, and looked like they had been made into wax corpses, and there were bloodstains on the corpses. "Brother Gongshu, it seems that what you said is right." Chen Yulou said.

Gong Shuyang came over when he heard his words, but he was speechless when he saw this strange scene.

These six-legged black cauldrons were indeed boiled corpses to sacrifice to heaven. These corpses were probably the owners of the clothes in the apse. Maybe they were all wizards among the barbarians captured by King Xian, or some people with status.

As early as the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there are records of using Dingcookers to sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, and as sacrifices, these people cannot be ordinary slaves, otherwise they will be considered disrespectful to the gods. "It seems that the offering king died before ascending to heaven, and these sacrificial activities are useless. 1." Gong Shuyang said.

Chen Yulou recalled the bursts of laughter when he wanted to open the cauldron lid just now.

Is this some shady secret?

Chen Yulou glanced at Dingzhong's body again, feeling a little nauseated. "Forget it, let's get out of here." Chen Yulou said.

As soon as the words were finished, before the steps of the people moved away, they suddenly felt a gust of heating air emerge from the black cauldron.

The six animal feet under the black cauldron, like six fire unicorns, corresponded to each other facing inward, and six pillars of fire spewed out from the beast's mouth.

The black surface on the top of the cauldron also suddenly burned violently, and the corpses in the cauldron were all wrapped in the raging fire and hot oil, and melted quickly.

The black cauldron turned into a big fireball at this instant, and the flames illuminated the apse.

Only then did everyone see the whole view of the apse. Above the apse, there were only a dozen sets of costumes of different styles hanging on the top of the hall, and these costumes did not seem to be prepared for living people at all.

Combined with a sudden burst of fire.

It was as if this scene was specially prepared for them! "What a Xianwang old man, what a burning company!" "It's not suitable to stay here for long, go!" Chen Yulou couldn't help cursing angrily when he saw this.

There is a flint in the black cauldron, and it is triggered immediately when the lid is moved. It was originally planned to be burned by the king when offering sacrifices to heaven, but it was burned here.

The main structure of this palace is nanmu plus brick and tile structure. It is built on the dragon halo. The air is very dry. In this short period of time, the wood in the palace has been crackling by the heat of the flame. "If you don't leave this Heavenly Palace, it will become a Fire Palace."

Everyone quickly moved to the short corridor of the apse, and before they stepped out of the apse, the roof of the short corridor seemed to have collapsed, blocking the way out tightly.

If it wasn't for these few slow steps, everyone would be smashed into a pile of meat sauce, but now they are trapped here again, I really don't know whether it is joy or sorrow.

It is absolutely impossible to extinguish the fire with the equipment of Chen Yulou and the others, but at this moment, the fire is approaching step by step, and there is no way to retreat, and they will be burned to death immediately. "Everyone, don't panic."

After Gong Shuyang finished speaking, he immediately released the mechanism beast.Xuanwu.

Xuanwu instantly sprayed a stream of water towards the surroundings.

The water line first soaked all the brothers and their bodies, and then put out the fires.

But the blazing fire was obviously prepared, and the fire became more and more intense. Even if Xuanwu continued to spew water, it would be difficult to completely annihilate these fires. "Brother Gongshuo, let's go!"

Seeing that his brothers had all run out, Chen Yulou hurriedly shouted at Gong Shuyang.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a bang on the wall in the hall, turned their heads and saw a big hole in the wall, and the head of the red jade dragon in the main hall in front went through the wall of the back hall.

A large amount of mercury was sprayed out from the mouth of the red jade dragon, and the mercury immediately rolled into balls of large and small mercury on the ground. "You can't get out of this palace gate, everyone go up to the stone tablet, let's find a way to get out from the top of the palace."

Gong Shuyang still has a good understanding of the structure of the Ming Tower. The roof is made of nanmu keels and glazed tiles, so it is not difficult to get out from above.

Chen Yulou quickly ran under the tallest stone tablet. "This stele is the tallest, everyone hurry up."

At this time, Chen Yulou's movements were so fast that he didn't even remember how he climbed up the stele just now.

Although the height of this stele is the highest, it is just under the robe of the big red wizard. There is no other way but to climb up to the beam on the top of the hall from here.

Just as Chen Yulou was hesitating, three animal heads protruded from the other three walls of the hall.

It is also a mechanism that spits out mercury, and the ground in the hall is covered with mercury.

Even if there are some ghosts above, everyone can't care about it.

The partridge whistle had already hooked the main beam on the roof of the hall with its flying tiger claws, jumped horizontally, and jumped on the beam made of nanmu (Qian Lizhao), quickly tied the rope and put the pulley down, and everyone jumped one by one. Go up to the beam.

When Chen Yulou looked down, the mercury was already more than half a meter deep, and it was still increasing rapidly. The six-legged black tripod in the hall also gradually dimmed. The entire apse is very gorgeous, and it is full of weirdness.

A large amount of mercury in the temple was roasted by the flames, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell. "Everyone cover your mouth and nose. If you smell this smell too much, you will be poisoned." Gong Shuyang said.

Everyone tore off some cloth strips, soaked them in water, and covered their mouths and noses.

At this moment, Chen Yulou remembered the wizard's robe hanging on the roof of the hall, and when he looked back, the red wizard's robe was hanging on the beam behind Chen Yulou.

If this piece of clothing is a wizard's robe, then there will be eye marks, but this piece of clothing does not have any, so it should be the clothing of a person with status among the barbarian people slaughtered by King Xian. .

Chapter 164 - The Flash Witch! (Seek full order!

Chen Yulou and the others were all on top of the beams hanging from the roof of the hall, with the ever-increasing mercury below. Most of the structure of the apse was made of wood, which was crackling by the flames just now.

Although the fire is out now, there is still a crackling sound.

Looking at the red witch robe, Chen Yulou suddenly thought, isn't there a human head on that witch robe? "Is the head in the red robe missing?" Chen Yulou asked.

Just now, I dealt with those alone, and then hurriedly avoided the mercury and fire below. Every minute and every second was life-threatening, so I temporarily forgot about the woman's head with a sinister sneer, and then I remembered .

Reluctantly, the burning flames in the back hall have been extinguished, and the wooden beams on the roof of the hall became dark again without the light of the fire.

A set of weird clothes were hung out of nowhere, and the light of the torches in the hands of the people illuminated the past, making it even more weird and gloomy, like thousand-year-old souls wandering on the top of the temple.

The closest thing to Chen Yulou and the others is the set of red witch clothes for women. From the silhouette, there is indeed something in the upper body, but the head is covered by a beam, so it is not clear. "It's not clear what's inside from here." Partridge Whistle said.

"I'll jump onto that 857 beam to take a look before the mercury fills up for a while." Chen Yulou said calmly.

"There are many Shanpos in the tribes of the Southwestern Yi people."

"Shanpo is a witch who can communicate with the gods they believe in in a state of hallucinations by taking drugs. Although they are called Shanpo, they are not limited to older women, and many of them are young." Gongshu Yang said.

He told Chen Yulou about his guess, at least he had a mental preparation.

Such a witch has a very high status among the Yi people, and with the ability to talk to the gods, she has almost all the right to speak in the tribe.

Chen Yulou took the vajra umbrella from his subordinates, looked at the mercury on the ground, jumped onto the beam, and climbed over it step by step.

It was only when Chen Yulou got closer that he could see clearly that it was a bloody woman's head. The face was covered by long messy hair, and there was no expression. "Take the lead, how about it?" someone shouted from behind. "It's a woman's head." Chen Yulou replied.Chen Yulou looked at this human head, and couldn't figure out how the weird laughter came out just now, was it a zombie or a ghost?

Some dead zombies will also make some weird noises when they are burned by fire, but it is different from the laughter we heard just now, that laughter is a kind of cold and tricky smile. "Damn, what the hell is this?" Chen Yulou cursed secretly.

Chen Yulou thought in his heart, he must see clearly, if there is a ghost, just blow up the glazed roof of the palace, let the sunlight come in and destroy the soul of the female ghost, if there is no trace of the ghost, he will also burn it with a torch Wear this weird set of clothes to avoid future troubles.

Although the apse was very dark, it was still daytime outside. Thinking of this, Chen Yulou emboldened himself and climbed half a meter forward on the beam.

From this angle, the face on the head can be fully seen.

I saw that her face was horribly pale, not the whiteness of a dead person, but because of heavy makeup, a thick layer of powder, two patches of bright red blush on her cheeks, and tight red lips. close.

Although Chen Yulou could see the expression on the head, but still couldn't see her eyes.

Just when he was about to poke the female corpse's head with the vajra umbrella in his hand to get a better look, he heard the head suddenly let out a sinister smile, "Hehehe, hehehe..."

When everyone heard the familiar sneer again, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Although Chen Yulou was prepared, he was still startled, and immediately crawled backwards to leave, but he lost his balance, swayed, and fell off the main beam.

Gong Shuyang has been observing Chen Yulou's posture, and he made a timely move!

Use the mystery box to hook Chen Yulou's belt, so as not to fall into the mercury that fills the hall.

When Chen Yulou was rescued by everyone, his face turned pale with fright. "Brothers, I have a question." Chen Yulou took a deep breath and said.

The moment he fell, he saw the flames swaying on the mercury, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

There are many strange places in the apse of the palace in the sky, especially the mercury mechanism. Although the exit of the apse is blocked, the glazed tiles on the roof of the palace can easily break through and escape, so there is no meaning of existence. .

Aren't these organs used to deal with tomb robbers?But to use a large amount of mercury to bury a secret in this apse?

Everyone fell silent when they heard his question, and no one could answer this question right now.

Chen Yulou's brain was running fast. Seeing that there was more and more mercury in the hall, it had already covered the middle of the six-legged bronze tripod. It would not be long before the stone tablet and the mural wall would be completely covered. "There must be a shocking secret hidden in this apse. We accidentally touched the quicksilver mechanism just now." "As long as we find the mechanism that triggers quicksilver, we will know what the secret is." Chen Yulou said.

"And that mechanism must be somewhere among the mural wall, stone tablet and black copper tripod, but we don't know where it is." Gong Shuyang followed suit.

When Gong Shuyang had just hooked Chen Yulou, he jumped up and his vision immediately rose.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gong Shuyang looked around the apse, and the layout of the scene in the apse also looked different from the front.

At this moment, Gong Shuyang saw clearly.

Seen from the sky at this time, the most prominent thing in the apse is the mural walls arranged in the shape of eight trigrams and nine palaces.

Gong Shuyang noticed that there was a very prominent wall.

It was the only one who was pressed against the wall by the cauldron cover, splashing blood on the white painted wall, and the wall was covered with dark and greenish blood minced meat.

Coupled with the impact force of the cauldron cover, a large gap was cracked in the wall, and several cracks extended around it.

There are many murals on the walls of these murals, but there is only one wall full of various strange sacrificial ceremonies of the Dian Kingdom, which happened to be the side that was damaged by the tripod cover. Once this wall was broken, the short corridor in the hall was immediately sealed off. Another large amount of mercury poured out from the mouth of the dragon.

Is there such a coincidence?All this shows that there are important things hidden in the wall. Once the wall is destroyed, the mechanism in the temple will be triggered, and everyone on the ground will be swallowed by mercury.

If one is agile enough to escape from the top of the temple, there is no way to go back to the ground and find what is hidden in the wall. .

Chapter 165 - Burning Lingyun Palace! (Seek full order!

Chapter 165: The Secret Inside the Mural Wall

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and Gong Shuyang analyzed that the reason why they didn't set up such an extinct institution might also be because they would have to take this thing out in the future.

But why when the king was offered to be buried, he was not brought into the underground palace of the underworld, but hidden in the back hall of the Ming Tower? "I think our top priority now is to take out the things before the mercury passes," Chen Yulou said.

Everyone nodded. There are many unsolved mysteries now, and it would be worthwhile to learn more about the King's Tomb.

Gong Shuyang didn't think much about it, but at the moment he fell, he instinctively thought that there was something hidden in a wall.

This is the conclusion drawn from the memory, knowledge in the mind, and the information received by the five senses.

Completely skip logical thinking and reflect directly into thinking, but the accuracy of intuition depends entirely on a person's experience and judgment ability.

Gong Shuyang found that the mercury vapor in the hall was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't stay any longer, and it was prone to accidents.

Chen Yulou had a discussion with Partridge Whistle and Gong Shuyang, before the mercury covered the mural wall.Lower Chen Yulou to the cracked mural wall to see if there is still a chance to take out the contents.

In addition, Gong Shuyang asked Partridge Whistle to burn the haunted witch clothes.

If it was left there all the time, everyone would feel very uncomfortable, and told the partridge to whistle, no matter what noise the clothes make, ignore them, just burn them.

At the same time, let the brothers under him seize the time to climb to the highest point on the roof of the hall, dig a hole above the glazed tiles, and prepare to go out.

After the arrangements were made, everyone began to perform their duties, and Gong Shuyang used the power of the mechanism beast to put Chen Yulou down little by little.

Even though the Partridge Whistle couldn't see how high it was in the darkness of the hall, it could still move normally.

Everyone saw him climb from the beam to the witch clothes hanging in the corner of the temple, and tremblingly took out the fire fold. With the ability and mental quality of the partridge whistle, he would not be too afraid even of ghosts and gods.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the Partridge Whistle, Gong Shuyang supported the flying kite, stepped on a nearby stone monument, and glides his body towards the mural wall.

When the swing reached the lowest point, Gong Shuyang's feet even touched the mercury on the ground.

Gong Shuyang immediately reached for the mural wall with both hands, and immediately climbed up half a meter while supporting the wall.

The development of mercury heating technology in the Qin and Han Dynasties still benefited from Qin Huang and Han Wu's unremitting pursuit of alchemy and longevity.

Gong Shuyang saw that half of the jade letter was exposed where the mural wall was cracked by the tripod cover.

The jade box was wrapped with several turns of gold rope, and the mercury on the ground kept rising, and it was about to flood the cracks in the wall.

Gong Shuyang didn't have time to take a closer look, so he immediately started to chisel the wall with the mystery box in his hand. This kind of work is no stranger to Chen Yulou, who has been in the tomb all year round.

These mural walls are all made of grass-soil bricks, which are actually not strong. The jade letters hidden in the mural walls are not small, and a large piece of grass-soil bricks needs to be chiseled to be taken out.

When Gong Shuyang was busy digging the wall, he suddenly heard a bang above his head, a lot of bricks and tiles fell down, and a glare of sunlight shot into the gloomy palace.

Looking up to the top of the hall, it turned out that Chen Yulou's men had already opened a skylight for the top of the hall.

The glazed roof of the palace in the sky is not thick, and it didn't take much sharp tools. It directly used a pickaxe and sharp weapons to break a big hole.The sunlight slanted into the hall from the big hole, and just happened to shine on the red witch clothes in the corner, and the partridge whistle just happened to light the fire.

The strange red witch's robe fell down while burning, and turned into a mass of ashes, which was immediately covered by mercury.

Seeing that both of them had succeeded, Chen Yulou tried his best to chisel off the last two earthen bricks, and reached out to take out the jade letter hidden in the wall. After weighing it in his hand, he found that it was not very heavy.

Now I don't have time to find out what is inside, so I put the jade letter in the clothes casually, and while climbing up with both hands, I let the mechanism beast pull myself up to the beam.

The beast heads in the apse were still spraying out mercury, and they had just passed the height of the hole in the mural wall. If they had been slower for half a minute just now, they would have never had the chance to discover the secrets in the apse.
