Zu An smiled slightly and held Pei Mianman's soft little hand: "Not only in this secret realm, but even outside, she also helped me a lot."
Pei Mianman was stunned, not expecting him to hold hands suddenly, but now that the crisis was over, she relaxed her whole body, held the other person's hand, and gently nestled against his shoulder, her cheeks as pretty as flowers.
Seeing the two people hugging each other closely, Mi Li was speechless for a while. What kind of evil had she done to have to witness this pair of bastards showing such affection?
The anger value from Mi Li is +333!
She simply returned to the Tai'a sword, out of sight and out of mind.
Sensing her anger level, Zu An also knew that he had offended her, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't stop being intimate with Da Manman in the future. The queen sister should get used to it.
If Mi Li knew what he was thinking at this time, she would be furious.
At this time, Pei Mianman said: "Azu, do we want to go down?"
In fact, she enjoyed the rare warmth now and did not want to break the feeling of this moment and step into unknown dangers.
Zu An nodded: "Well, in addition to a way out, there may be great opportunities..."
He briefly recounted the chat he had just had with Mi Li, and at the same time thought that this should also be one of the twelve "unspeakable places", hiding a secret book. If he could get it, he didn't know the Keyboard Man system.
What new features will be enabled?
Pei Mianman was not very interested in opportunities. She just thought that staying here was really not an option, and it would be better to go out and be with him forever.
The two reached an agreement and started walking towards the underground stairs.
When passing by the cauldron, I found that the evil spirits inside had disappeared, and only two bones of Crocodile and Taotie were left.
Zu An noticed that there were two special bones among them, with circles of primitive lines on them and a faint flash of electric light.
He remembered that these should be the two horns on Taotie's head, which must be extraordinary items that could emit lightning, so he put them away.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the giant glutton's skeleton at the foot of the steps. The two horns were even bigger and must have been even more precious.
When he was about to get it, he stepped on the steps, and suddenly another strange melody came out. The air around him became a little colder, and the flames on both rows of the steps flickered, becoming brighter and darker.
Zu An took his feet back in an instant. Are you kidding me? He didn't want to inspire another evil spirit. This time he didn't have any sacrifices.
Although he was a little reluctant, he could only give up the idea of hitting the two giant horns.
The two of them each took off a torch and walked down the dark tunnel.
The steps are not straight, but wind down, as if walking down around a pillar.
The walls along the way are carved with many merchant warriors, as well as various patterns of clouds and dragons, Taotie patterns, thunder patterns, bird and animal patterns, etc.
Zu An is not an expert in this field and can only vaguely judge based on the documentary he watched in his previous life.
He originally wanted to ask Mi Li for help, but unfortunately Mi Li seemed to be really angry and never responded to his inquiry.
As for Pei Mianman, he seemed to be somewhat psychic just now, but unfortunately now his ability seems to have suddenly disappeared, and he can't explain what happened after seeing this.
I don’t know how long it took, but the two finally walked up the stairs and arrived on the flat ground.
A solemn and simple avenue stretches straight ahead. The avenue is paved with countless large and neat stone slabs. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve this level.
The two of them walked forward holding torches, and they didn't know how long they had walked. Suddenly, Pei Mianman exclaimed and shrank into Zu An's arms: "Azu..."
Zu An followed her gaze and found that there were deep pits on both sides of the avenue. These pits were not as big as the previous pits outside, but the same thing was that the pits were filled with bones.
Zu An patted Pei Mianman's hand to express comfort. He came to the edge of the pit and took a closer look. The pit was not too deep. It was only a few meters long. It could not trap anyone at all.
However, he was worried that there was some mechanism at the bottom of the pit, or that there was a strange snake like before hidden in the bones. He did not go down rashly, but first knocked a small piece of stone from the floor and threw it down to explore the way. He found that he was not worried.
After seeing the dangers, I jumped down and took a look.
"Azu, come up quickly!" Pei Mianman really didn't want to go down, and at the same time he was worried that something might happen to Zu An down there.
Zu An checked for a while and then jumped up: "These should be some sacrificial pits. Different from the previous pits outside, these bones seem to be thicker and burlier. Apparently they were better nourished in life than those in the pits outside."
"You mentioned before that this is probably where the tombs of the Yin and Shang kings are located. The sacrifices that come here must be of higher standards than those outside." Pei Mianman also analyzed.
"Yes," Zu An also made a similar judgment, "but what's more striking is that the bones outside have no external injuries, but the bones in this pit are all separated from the head."
The bodies of the skeletons in the tunnel were on one side, and the heads were scattered in another direction. It was really hard to tell whose head was whose.
"For captured enemy nobles or warriors, it is best to behead them as sacrifices." Pei Mianman suddenly said.
Zu An looked at her in surprise: "???"
After Pei Mianman said these words, he covered his mouth in panic. After a long time, he finally regained his breath: "I don't know why. I just subconsciously said it. Could it be that I have been possessed by evil spirits?"
?”
She is extremely worried now. She has just confirmed her relationship with Zu An and the future is full of hope. She does not want anything to happen to her.
What a surprise.
Zu An said in a deep voice: "You are probably not possessed by an evil spirit. I think it is probably related to this place. You don't have to be afraid. It may not be a bad thing."
He thought of Mi Li's previous analysis, maybe this time the secret realm really requires the two of them to work together.
After some comfort from him, Pei Mianman finally settled down a little, but he was still a little distracted and lacked the usual enthusiastic feeling.
The two of them walked forward and discovered several similar pits one after another. The skeletons inside all had their heads separated. Altogether, there were about a thousand skeletons.
Although the number is not as large as in the big pit outside, you must know that all the bones here are the bones of local nobles and high-level warriors, and the quality is far better than outside.
Feeling the slight trembling of Pei Mianman's body, Zu An pulled her forward quickly, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
But after walking for a while, he had to stop, because the scene in front of him made his scalp numb no matter how courageous he was.
Because another sacrificial pit appeared in front of me. This pit was smaller than the previous one, but the things inside were very special.
Because there were 17 babies sitting inside, they were not baby skeletons, they looked exactly like babies, except that they were all dark and had various weird patterns on their skin.
If he hadn't been able to detect their breathing, Zu An would have even thought they were still alive!
"How could someone be so cruel, not even sparing a baby?" Pei Mianman bit her lip tightly, her tone filled with fear and anger.
Zu An said in a deep voice: "In the world in my dream, there was a country called Thailand. In ancient Thailand, there was a general named Kun Paen who conquered a city. The leader of the city dedicated his daughter to Kun Paen as a gift.
, so Khun Paen got married and lived in this city until his wife became pregnant. But later, the relationship between Khun Paen and the leader continued to deteriorate. Finally, the leader asked his daughter to poison Khun Paen's rice to kill him.
Khun Paen died, and after Khun Paen learned of the plan, he stabbed his wife to death first as a form of revenge. After his wife died, Khun Paen cut open his wife's stomach, took out the baby, and took him with him.
When he got up and went to a temple, he first lit a fire, then wrapped the baby's upper body with cloth with scriptures written on it, and roasted it on the fire until the baby's body became smaller and completely dry. During the whole process, Kun
Ping kept reciting scriptures. When the whole ceremony was over, the baby had turned into a lively soul that could talk and communicate with him. Khun Paen named him "Gumantong" and took it to conquer all directions.
Invincible."
Zu An paused, looked at the scene of the sacrificial pit in front of him, and said, "These babies look very much like the legendary 'Gu Man Tong'. I didn't expect that Yin merchants would use such vicious methods."
As soon as he finished speaking, the baby corpses whose eyes were closed suddenly opened their eyes, each with a red light in their eyes, and slowly crawled over from the bottom of the pit to where the two of them were.
