"There's a sword stuck here for no reason, don't you think there's something wrong with it?"
Wang Jianming was always cautious in doing things, so he immediately grabbed Jia Siyang.
"Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Jianming said: "This tomb seems to be an A-shaped cave, a common structure during the Great Famine. We have explored it anyway. We have to go back the same way later, and it won’t be too late to get the Wuchen Sword.”
“Oh.”
Jia Siyang listened to his elder brother’s words.
By the way, what kind of tomb structure is the A-shaped cave mentioned by Wang Jianming?
Starting from the tomb gate, several consecutive tomb chambers present a straight structure, which is a simple and straight road.
After arriving at a large tomb chamber containing coffins, several other tomb chambers are connected around it, forming a "pin" or "tian"-shaped structure.
Those connected tombs often contain some burial objects.
This kind of tomb structure is generally called the A-shaped cave.
......
After entering the tomb door, there is no barrier between the tomb chambers.
When they arrived at the third tomb chamber, the two of them took torches and saw that there were still some murals carved on the surrounding stone walls.
Jia Siyang walked along the wall and looked at it, and finally couldn't help but said: "Brother, these murals are different from those outside."
Wang Jianming also noticed it , said: "Yes, the murals here seem to be performing some kind of ritual."
The two gathered the torches together and began to study the ritual process carved on the murals.
......
At the beginning of the ceremony, an elder-looking mage commanded some soldiers to control a woman.
Then, everyone pushed the woman onto a stone slab and tied her tightly to it.
Then, the mage began to perform sacrificial rituals, while the soldier brought out a jar.
The mage took the jar from the soldier's hand and took out a palm-sized bug from it, which was exactly the same as the bug seen in the first tomb.
When the woman saw the bug in the mage's hand, her eyes showed fear, but she was unable to make any effective resistance because her whole body was restrained.
The wizard placed the bugs on the woman’s abdomen and covered them with an iron box.
Next, the soldier took out a torch, placed it on top of the iron box, and used the fire to heat the iron box.
The woman's expression was extremely painful and she was struggling desperately, but to no avail.
Because the iron box was heated up, the bug couldn't bear the roasting, so it entered through the woman's navel.
After that, the insects began to eat the woman’s internal organs, using the woman’s body as a greenhouse vessel for their own reproduction and growth.
If this is the case, the woman will naturally not survive.
It’s just that before death, he has to experience the torture of having his internal organs bitten, and finally he dies of pain.
After the insects have been raised for thirty days, the corpse will be dissected to collect the insects, which can be used to make elixirs to improve cultivation.
......
Halfway through, the two of them were already shuddering, and they finally managed to read it patiently.
Jia Siyang said: "If this can improve my cultivation, then I would rather stay in the human world forever and never become an immortal!"
Wang Jianming also said: "This way It is indeed too cruel. Even if you improve your cultivation, I am afraid it will go against the path of cultivating immortals, and I am afraid that it will get further and further away from the path of transcending mortals and becoming immortals."
"Brother, since there is something in this tomb. There is the Wuchen Sword, so everything in this tomb is naturally more or less related to Taoist Wuchen of the Shushan Sect, but what is engraved on this mural is all evil magic. If Taoist Wuchen is such a person , I’m afraid it’s hard to believe it.”
“Second brother, not everyone in this world is what the rumors say. What we see with our eyes and hear with our ears may not be true.”< /p>
"Brother, I still can't figure it out. This Shushan sect has always regarded itself as a famous and upright sect. How could such a weird mural appear in the tomb?"
Wang Jianming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't understand this either. The only connection between the two is that after the bugs grow up through raising, they can be used to make elixirs. However, it is not known whether the Shushan Sect will use this method to improve their cultivation."
Seeing Jia Siyang scratching his head and ears, Wang Jianming couldn't help but smile.
"Do you want to know the answer? Let's continue walking inside. The answer may be on the mural in the next tomb."
"Okay!"
......
Before entering the next tomb, Jia Siyang couldn't help but turn back and raise the torch to shine.
His inner martial arts are quite good, and he always feels like there is something following them.
But in the dark tomb, the lighting level of the torch is limited after all.
There are only some bottles and cans within sight, nothing unusual.
"Second brother, what are you doing? Follow up."
Wang Jianming's voice came from the front.
"Okay."
Jia Siyang took back the torch and chased after him quickly.
......
In the fourth tomb, there were still just some jars on the ground.
But what the two of them are most concerned about at the moment is the mural on the wall.
The mural this time made the two of them look a little confused.
Jia Siyang was even more confused.
"Brother, what do the murals in this tomb mean? It seems to have nothing to do with the insects and sacrifices painted before."
Wang Jianming held a torch and looked at the murals on the wall. Study the murals one by one.
"Second brother, if I read correctly, the character painted on this mural should be the owner of this tomb, Taoist Wuchen."
Jia Siyang After hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Then what he is holding in his hand is WuDust sword?
Wang Jianming nodded and said: "It should be so. Look at this mural. Taoist Wuchen is holding a Wuchen sword. He can defeat any enemy with one blow. But you can see on this mural." What's wrong? "
When Jia Siyang heard what his elder brother said, he took a closer look and replied: "It seems that after Taoist Wuchen defeated his opponent, those people disappeared inexplicably. "
"Yes, second brother, it is indeed the case. When I was still in the Maoshan sect, I once heard my master and several senior brothers talk about the Wuchen Sword. It is said that the Wuchen Sword can eliminate the opponent invisible. After defeating the opponent, that person will be in this world forever. Gone, leaving nothing behind. ”
“It has such incredible power? Then whoever owns this Wuchen Sword will be invincible? "
"Hey, how could everything in this world allow such an extreme sword to appear? Although the Wuchen Sword is infinitely powerful, it also has a backlash effect. "
"Backlash? ”
“Yes, whenever the Wuchen Sword disappears a person from this world, the person holding the sword will also randomly lose something of his own. ”
“The effect of this sword is to go against the will of nature, and it is normal to exchange things for things. ”
“So you look at this mural. As Taoist Wuchen holds the Wuchen Sword and eliminates powerful enemies one by one, his image becomes more and more weird. Look at the last mural. This Taoist Wuchen has blood on his hands and no expression on his face. He has become a living corpse without any emotions! "
"Brother, you mean that as he killed more enemies, he lost more things, and in the end he even completely lost his emotions? "
Wang Jianming nodded and said: "Perhaps even the bottom line of being a human being has been completely lost, so that the contents painted on the murals in the previous tomb chamber can be seen, using the living bodies of women to raise strange insects. Utensils, and then use the cultivated monster insects to make elixirs to improve their cultivation. "
At this moment, Wang Jianming saw Jia Siyang holding a torch and shining it towards the tomb door behind him.
"Brother, look! What is that? ”
