People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

As a race that worships the abyss extremely, the Eluohai people did not begin to yearn for the endless abyss after plundering the power of the snake god.

As early as a long time ago, they already had this custom.

This can be seen from the style of the ancient city. Although there is an eyeball mark at the highest point, the real core of the ancient city is in the deepest part.

However, it is also not easy to go deep into the ancient city, and the difficulty is even higher than finding the highest point.

After all, if you want to go to the commanding heights, even if there is no road, you can directly climb up the neat buildings.

But if you want to get into the depths of the ancient city, it's really impossible if you don't have a road.

Especially as it gets darker as you go down, even if there is no wisp of weird mist in that situation, it will be easy for people to get lost.

"How should we go down?" Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Xue Liyang next to him suddenly asked.

Although she was not as comprehensive as Chen Ziyan thought, she also saw that it was not so easy to do this.

"Although the city looks very symmetrical, I think there should be a slight inclination angle. For example, the street in front of us looks flat when standing on it, but it actually slopes downward. We If you can find the right way, you can enter below." Chen Ziyan said after thinking about it.

Although he was deeply impressed by Eluohai City, his understanding was very general, but he still knew some basic architectural knowledge.

He didn't think that there would be special portals between each floor of this ancient city, so he thought of this answer.

Hu Bayi agreed with this, and said, "I think Mr. Chen's words are reasonable. As long as we can find the right way, we can find that altar."

"Old Hu, how do we find this way?" Wang Kaixuan asked beside him.

He didn't question what Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi said, but simply wanted to know what to do next.

You can't just touch the upper lip with the lower lip, and it will happen by itself.

That's not adventure, that's dreaming.

"Continue to search in these houses. Everything in this city remains the same, which means there must be clues left." Chen Ziyan helped him answer.

This is also the only way he can think of. Their familiarity with E Luo Haicheng is limited, although it can't be said that their eyes are smeared, but it is not much worse.

When the others heard what Chen Ziyan said, they also nodded.

They also know that there is no other better way now, and the safest thing is to search nearby.

Now no one knows the specific situation here, so when exploring, safety must be the first premise.

After making a decision, the group continued to inspect the passing houses one by one.

The layout of these houses is basically the same, so after getting familiar with it, the speed of progress becomes faster.

And just after they entered a new house, Wang Kaixuan, who entered first, let out a light snort, sniffing like a hound that smelled the smell of a rabbit, and said:

"Why does it smell so good? It smells like beef stew. This really tickles Fatty's itch!"

After being busy for so long, his stomach was already empty now, and at this moment he suddenly smelled such a rich meat aroma, and the glutton in his stomach was immediately teased out.

In fact, there was no need for the fat man to remind him. After entering the room, other people could also smell this tempting aroma.

"Let's go and have a look." Chen Ziyan sniffed and raised his eyebrows unobtrusively.

Although he knew that there was such a scene in the original plot, he didn't want to encounter it now.

Wang Kaixuan raised his hands and feet in favor of this proposal, and immediately followed the smell of meat towards the source, and when he entered the next room, he saw that there was really a pot of overcooked yak meat in the stone cauldron inside. .

The flames under the stone cauldron were blazing, and the steam was gurgling from the stone cauldron.

Seeing the delicious beef stew, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help swallowing, and said, "My dear, this is simply a crime of temptation. Could it be specially prepared for us?"

Although the supplies they carried were abundant, those things could not be compared with this after all.

Hu Bayi gave this guy a blank look: "What are you thinking, don't care who it's for, you can't eat it, okay?"

After speaking, Hu Bayi looked at the beef stew in front of him with flickering eyes. In such a strange ancient city, such a pot of freshly cooked beef stew suddenly appeared, which is really hard to guess with common sense.

It couldn't help but remind him of the blindfold he encountered when he was in Ganggang Yingzi, in the Niuxin Mountain where the Nine Dragons covered the Jade Lotus.

It can't be said that the pot of delicious stew in front of me is actually made of crushed stones and rotten meat.

Although the others were also a little hungry, they all knew that in such an occasion, food of unknown origin must never be eaten, so they all remained silent.

moo—

But at this moment, a cow cry suddenly came from the depths of the cave.

The cow moo immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Yaks' calls are not uncommon here, but hearing them here, especially with a pot of steaming beef stew in front of them, feels as weird as it gets!
Chen Ziyan winked at the others to get them ready, and then waved to Wushuanggui and Huahu behind him.

The two puppet armors immediately walked towards the depths of the bridal chamber, Wushuang ghost rushed forward aggressively, Huahu was one step behind him and prepared to respond.

Seeing this scene, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "My dear, this motherfucker can wrestle with that spotted dragon."

Although he didn't stand in front of Wushuang ghost, he could see how terrifying Wushuang ghost's indomitable momentum was at the moment. Wang Kaixuan felt that Wushuang ghost was like a galloping car.

No one paid attention to Wang Kaixuan, because after the two puppet armors started charging, they had already quickly followed behind with their weapons in hand.

There is a thick stone door in the depths of the bridal chamber, but in front of Wushuang Ghost, this stone door is just a decoration, and it doesn't even take three seconds to block the footsteps.

"Master Chen, look!"

After Wu Shuanggui broke open the stone door, Chen Ziyan planned to follow in and take a look.

But before he could go in, he was grabbed by Hu Bayi.

Looking in the direction Hu Bayi pointed, Chen Ziyan saw a bloody handprint on the crooked stone door.

Besides, except for this bloody handprint, the entire stone door was coated with a sticky substance, making the stone door look greasy.

Chen Ziyan could clearly see that blood was still dripping under the bloody handprint on the stone gate, obviously the blood on it was still fresh.

After looking at the stone gate for a while, Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi: "Wait, let's go in and have a look first."

Then he took the lead and walked into the stone gate, and the first thing he saw inside was red.

Except for Wushuang Ghost and Huahu who came in first, there were no other figures.

But compared to this, Chen Ziyan and the others were more concerned about the dripping blood on the surrounding walls.

In the center of this room is a stone case, on which besides the same bright red bloodstains, there is a pile of fresh yak meat, and a few pieces of bloody cowhide are placed on the wooden stake beside it.

It can be clearly seen that these yak skins are still steaming, as if they had just been peeled off from the cows. This place is like a slaughterhouse hidden in a house.

After seeing the things inside, the others are fine. Although they feel a little short of breath, they are all well-informed people and can bear it.

Wang Kaixuan, who is usually the most daring, would feel a little nauseous. He was very glad that he didn't really eat the beef stew, otherwise he would have to vomit it all up.

At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly felt something above his head, and when he raised his head, he saw a bull's head that was two or three times larger than an ordinary yak hanging upside down.

There is no skin on the cow's head, and the flesh and blood are completely exposed. It looks bloody, but its eyes are wide open, the two huge nostrils are still breathing, and most of the cow's tongue is sticking out. After seeing Chen Ziyan looking over , actually uttered a heavy muffled snort at him!

eye--

This muffled snort caught the attention of the others. When they saw such a terrifying but vivid bull's head, they didn't know what to say for a while.

A bull's head that doesn't even have skin and can still make a sound, this is a scene that only appears in horror stories!
After a short silence, Shirley Yang said: "It is an extremely ancient custom to peel off the face of a yak while it is still alive, and then slaughter it. It symbolizes the release of the soul first, so that the body can be used with confidence."

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly thought of the information she had read in the materials of the Samsara Sect, so she said it out of nowhere.

But what Shirley Yang didn't know was that this was actually an ancient custom that wasn't even passed down by the Reincarnation Sect.

After turning his attention away from the bull's head, Chen Ziyan discovered that there was not only one bull's head on it, but a large wooden fence beside it. The front, back, left, and right sides of the wooden fence could be stretched freely, and the yak happened to be caught in it, so It looks like there is only one head.

After Chen Ziyan saw the wooden fence, he thought that the bull's head in front of him would make noise because it had only been skinned and was not fatally injured.

But after he saw the situation inside the wooden fence, he knew that he was wrong, because under the light of the searchlight, he could clearly see that the yak's body was indeed caught in the wooden fence, but this big guy's The inside of the chest cavity was so empty, and between the bull's head and the body, there was still a heavy ax stuck there.

Just by looking at the depth of the heavy ax, one can tell that there are not many connecting parts between the bull's head and the body.

Continuing to look up, I found that there was still a rope hanging from the bull's head. It was obvious that there was another reason for the bull's head not to be detached.

weird!

The scene in front of them gave them the feeling of these two words!
Although there are many cases where the signs of life will be retained for a short time after the head is separated, for example, after the head of the chicken is beheaded, the headless body can still run for a while, but the situation like this is extremely rare. Rare, even impossible.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan could only attribute the crux of the problem to this ancient city.

Yes, this is a city between life and death, and it is acceptable to have such a yak between life and death.

"It seems that the time of this ancient city is really fixed at a certain point in time." Shirley Yang looked at the bull head who was still staring, and said with emotion.

Everything in this ancient city seems to explain this matter, whether it is the lit lamps, unfinished bone products, or the head of an immortal cow in front of them, the cooked beef seems to be telling them this point .

"Let's find a place to spend the night and explore tomorrow." Black Glasses hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts.

Now he felt that if he continued to walk, he might encounter some weird things. Although he knew that ghosts were not afraid of the light, he still wanted to wait until daytime to do things.

In any case, sunshine can bring some psychological comfort to people.

Wang Kaixuan agreed with what Black Glasses said, and nodded again and again: "I also think what Glasses said is right. What we need most now is time. There is no need to wander around this ghost town at night. You can definitely do things during the day tomorrow."

Yes, ghost towns.

Now Wang Kaixuan has confirmed that what they are in is a ghost town.

"No, not everything here is fixed at a certain point in time." But at this moment, Chen Wenjin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said such a sentence.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at her, she stretched out her white wrist, pointed to the watch and said, "Although everything we have seen proves that the time here seems to have been completely frozen since ancient times, the hands of the watch have not Being affected, this shows that time is always passing, and there is another point..."

Speaking of this, she pointed to the crooked stone door: "Everything here is not static, it can only be said that it is permanently kept in a specific state, so I think it is possible to temporarily exclude the time-space freeze." guess."

Chen Wenjin felt that if time and space were truly frozen, then after they destroyed the original appearance, everything here would automatically return to its original state, instead of continuing to maintain it as it is now.

"Huh—" Chen Ziyan let out a sigh of relief, and said, "No matter what's going on here, let's find a place to rest first."

He did not comment on Chen Wenjin's analysis, because he knew that the problem here was far more complicated than he imagined.

And from the words of Black Glasses and Wang Kaixuan, it can be heard that they are now strongly wary of continuing to explore, although he can refuse the proposal and continue to lead everyone to explore.

But some things really can't be rushed for a while, and proper rest is more conducive to relieving emotions.

And now he really doesn't know how to take the next step. If he continues walking in such a daze, he will probably encounter more situations similar to the yak in front of him, so it's better to sort out his thoughts before talking about other things.
