Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 318
"How did Qu Shangcheng appear underground? Normally, the capital of a country symbolizes authority and holiness. Even the barbarians in the southwest cannot build their capital underground!" Wang Yifeng stepped forward. After walking a few steps, he murmured to himself in doubt.

"Who knows? There are very few records about the ancient Shu Kingdom in the history books, and there are only a few mentions of Qu Shangcheng. In any case, the city in front of us cannot be faked." Cai Zhongtang also followed and responded.

While everyone was talking, I stretched out my hand and pulled out the Que Xie sword on my back, stepped forward, and at the same time looked around vigilantly.It is not an easy place to make Cai Zhongyong look like that.

"Chen Zixuan, don't act recklessly." Cai Yawen complained after following me.

"It's okay."

I responded, and at the same time used the qi-watching technique to look forward, the world in my eyes instantly became dark, the stone houses in front of me were shrouded in mist, and the towering and tall palaces in the distance seemed to have turned into darkness. A death realm, eerie and terrifying.

At this moment, there was a sound of mourning from Jiuyou, male or female, old or young, they cried and wailed, it was breathtaking.

"This……"

I was taken aback, the surroundings returned to normal when the qi-watching technique was dispelled, and the nightmarish sound no longer appeared.

Really weird!
I didn't tell anyone else about this discovery, but I was secretly on guard in my heart.The sound just now was more like the wailing of wraiths and ghosts, coupled with the yin energy covering the stone houses and palaces, this place is by no means a good place.

A group of people stepped forward carefully and entered the streets of the city. The road under their feet was paved with stone slabs. For some unknown reason, the stone slabs under their feet were still smooth and hard after thousands of years of time. Signs of corrosion.

"Shall we go directly to the palace in the middle? If there are any secrets in this place, I'm afraid they will be hidden there!" Liu Zelong suddenly pointed to the towering palaces in the distance and said, his thoughts were the same as most people's.

But Cai Zhongtang shook his head and said: "This place is too weird, you can't act rashly. If this is really the royal city of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then the ground should not be so clean. Look around carefully, Although the appearance of each stone house is somewhat different, the shape is exactly the same. There are not even scratches or oily smoke stains left by humans on it, and..."

I felt creepy all of a sudden, after Cai Zhongtang's reminder, everyone also discovered the strangeness of this city.You must know that cities and houses are originally places for human activities, let alone the king city of a country, not to mention leaving human corpses and the like, but scratches on the outside of houses and various residues and waste discarded by humans should at least exist. right.

However, as we can see, apart from being dusty, the city is as clean as new, as if no one has ever been active.

"Third brother, go check the room over there and be more careful." Cai Yawen suddenly spoke out, ordering the third child behind her.

The third child made a promise, greeted another member of the Cai family, Zheng Laoyao, and walked towards a stone house on the left.Others were wandering around observing, wanting to see if they could find some clues.

I felt so depressed in my heart that I asked Long Zhu to follow closely behind me, then set off and walked towards another room on the right.I'd like to see what's in there.

"Are all the buildings in the ancient Shu Kingdom made of stone?"

I looked at the stone gate and frowned, feeling even more suspicious in my heart.You must know that even the barbarians in the wild know how to make doors with wood, and no one can easily push open the door made of stone.

"Master, there are no windows in this room." Long Zhu suddenly said while pulling the corner of my clothes.

My eyes froze, although I was even more worried.But there was no pause in his hands, he put his hands on the stone gate and pushed forward vigorously.

squeak……

There was an ear-piercing friction sound, and I slowly pushed the stone door open a gap, and suddenly a rancid smell came from the stone door, just like the sour and stinky smell of old sauerkraut that has been stored for thousands of years It almost made me spit out the overnight meal.

Just then, a miserable howl came from behind me.

Instinctively, I looked back, and I saw a dry hand claw suddenly protruding from the stone door on the left that was just pushed open by the third child and the youngest Zheng. On the arm of Youngest Zheng.

Youngest Zheng screamed in pain and wanted to struggle, but there seemed to be tremendous strength in the claws. Youngest Zheng was dragged directly into the stone house like a chick caught by an eagle.The third child next to him was also screaming in fright, and backed away in fear.

Whoosh!
There was a burst of wind in my ears, and a claw suddenly came out from the stone door that was pushed open in front of me and grabbed me.But I had been vigilant for a long time, and I backed away at the critical moment.

Because the gap is not too big, nothing can get out of the stone door, only a skinny claw is still dancing in the air, trying to grab me through.

"Ah!" Long Zhu cried out in fright, and fell to the ground.

I can't care about her right now.The evil sword in his hand pierced through the space and slashed on the claw, and there was a crisp sound, and the claw fell to the ground.There was a beast-like roar from the stone house, and then heavy objects kept hitting the stone door.

I looked down at the severed hand claw, which was black and purple in color and shaped like a human hand, but the nails were long and long, and there was still a faint green light shining on it.

However, I didn't bother to check carefully at this time, I turned around and pulled Longzhu to the left quickly.

I saw Cai Yawen and others gathered outside that stone house, everyone's face was extremely ugly, but no one dared to go in.

"The youngest Zheng was dragged in." Cai Yawen whispered quickly when she saw me coming.

I nodded, I also saw the scene just now with my own eyes.

Standing outside the stone house, I saw that the stone door of the house was pushed open by a third, just enough to pass through a person's body.

"Crack... hiss..."

A strange sound came from the stone gate. This sound made people feel like someone was hiding in the house, eating bones, flesh and sucking blood.

"Damn it, the youngest Zheng was eaten by that thing." The third child's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Cai Zhongtang held a mahogany sword in his hand, and said to everyone: "There may be zombies inside, everyone, be careful not to be hurt by it. Yawen, you hide behind, A Biao, A Hu and the old Three, you stand next to me, and when the thing comes out, you can do it together."

I watched Cai Zhongtang arrange everything and stand ready.The room was pitch black, and no one dared to rush in. They had to wait for the thing to come out before destroying it.With my eyes wide open, with the help of my night vision, I saw through the crack of the door that there was a tattered body lying in the corner of the stone house, which looked to be the corpse of Youngest Zheng.There was also a skinny humanoid lying on his chest.That thing's head kept shaking, it ripped open Zheng Laoyao's belly, tore out the flesh and internal organs inside, and chewed it.

"Longzhu, go to Cai Yawen's side."

I said something in a low voice, and walked forward with my sword in hand.

"Chen Zixuan, you're crazy!" Seeing that I was about to enter the room, Cai Yawen hurriedly shouted, and the others also looked at me in disbelief.After all, in their impression, the human body is incomparable to those monsters, and it is easy to be killed by monsters in hand-to-hand combat.Coupled with the small space in the room, it is difficult to avoid, my behavior is almost like going to die actively.

"rest assured."

I gave Long Zhu and Cai Yawen a look, and as soon as I moved my footsteps, I rushed into the stone house, and the Que Xie sword in my hand slashed down at the monster that was eating.

"Roar!"

The monster was startled by me, jumped off Zheng Laoyao's chest, dodged the sword, and rushed towards me with a roar.

But I was prepared, I stretched out my left hand suddenly, and the true energy in my body surged out towards the monster.

With a bang, the monster was blown back again and again, and half of one of its claws was blown off.Enduring the pain in my left hand, I stepped forward and swung the sword. The red glow flashed, and the monster's head fell off with a gurgling...
