Chapter 404: Human Hands in the Coffin, The Decaying King
Yu Lie followed Gui Yeluo and successfully entered the underground palace of the ghost city. At this time, he believed 80% of what the female Taoist said.
The two of them looked at the bones everywhere in the underground palace, both showing joy.
This place is littered with corpses. Whether there was a war or the spirits sacrificed blood to these corpses, it must be a place of vital importance to the spirits.
After the two of them looked at each other in the corner of the underground palace, they both restrained their auras and quietly went deeper into the underground palace.
Soon, the sound of a surging river appeared in Yu Lie's ears, but when he got closer, he found that it was not an underground river, but a dark metal river with a little silver light.
The rocks on both sides of the river are boiling hot, as if they will melt into magma in the next moment, and there is terrifying heat underneath.
It was this geothermal heat that smelted the lead and silver in the river into a liquid state, and the surge of liquid metal took the heat away, preventing the base stones of the underground palace from melting into magma.
Yu Lie scanned the lead galactic flow with his spiritual consciousness, and immediately felt that the layout of this place was exquisite.
As the two of them went deeper, the underground city was displayed in front of them in more detail. There were rockeries made of gold and silver, stars made of luminous pearls, and houses made of human bones... all kinds of things.
And they discovered that after nearly a hundred years, this place still looked like it had just been built. The bones and skeletons were smooth and clean, the blood stains on the ground were fresh, and there was still a fishy smell in the air.
This situation also made Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo secretly increase their vigilance. However, their footsteps did not stop and they continued to run straight towards the palace in the center of the city.
On the way, Gui Yeluo sent a message to Yu Lie:
"In the center of the underground palace, lies the ancestor of the spiritual being. According to the memory of my physical body, the ancestor of the spiritual being has sacrificed his body to suppress the earthly fire. He will never die again. You and I only need to resist.
If you stay in the evil spirit and destroy the arrangement of the spiritual ancestor, you can let the earthly fire unravel and slowly devour the entire ghost city."
She added: "Of course, you and I don't have the skills to let the underground fire slowly release. When the time comes, we must take a heavy blow and let the underground fire burst out violently, directly sweeping through the entire ghost city and flowing towards the tens of thousands of icebergs.
Among them, how to resist evil spirits, how to survive the burst of earth fire, and how to guide the earth fire are the difficulties of this trip." The female Taoist briefly explained the key points of the trip to Yu Lie, obviously she was coming.
A lot of planning was done.
After hearing this, Yu Lie nodded directly: "But, the matter of evil spirits is left to Pindao. I guess fellow Taoists also have a way to guide the earthly fire?"
As expected, Gui Yeluo immediately nodded: "Leave this matter to Gui."
It didn't take long for the discussion to be completed.
The two figures appeared in the center of the underground palace.
Although they wandered around a bit along the way, they did not touch any mechanism and found no trace of the spirit man. It seemed that there was no protection here and it had been forgotten by the spirit man.
But this is mainly because they are all Taoists and have practiced wind-controlling spells. They don’t have to walk on the ground at all. Many mechanisms and rivers can be crossed in one step. If it were a mortal sneaking in here, even a
An army of ten thousand people would probably die of thirst and heat halfway just by walking all the way.
In the center of the underground palace, a huge coffin appeared in the eyes of Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo.
The coffin was made of stone and was not placed on the ground or in the hall. Instead, it was placed in a square and circular pool. The pool was filled with red magma, which was constantly boiling and releasing endless heat.
This coffin is floating on thick magma.
In addition, there was a strong evil aura filling the eyes of Yu Lie and the two of them. The evil aura also condensed into a liquid state, casting a strange picture on the surface of the magma, like long snakes, rolling and twisting in the magma.
.
At this time, Gui Yeluo was standing outside. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly took out a piece of iron from her arms. With a flick of her wrist, the iron flew into the evil spirit.
Zizzi!
The evil energy, which was originally like a picture, flashed out immediately, stretched out its tentacles, and grabbed the iron tool. In the blink of an eye, it corroded into dregs and fell into the magma.
The female road said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, the evil spirit here is so strong that it is so strong.
It was originally ghost energy and Yin energy, but now it can suppress the earth, fire and magma. If an ordinary Taoist enters it, the flesh will be corroded into coke in just a moment, and the Yin spirit will be sucked dry.
If you are not completely sure, then you should consider the long term first."
This woman actually had some conscience and did not urge Yu Lie to take action.
However, Yu Lie squinted his eyes and looked at him. His brows only wrinkled slightly, then relaxed and said:
"Without further delay, this place is important. Although nothing strange has appeared yet, but if we stay for a while longer, there will be a big danger. Otherwise, those spirits should ambush the dead soldiers here."
Yu Lie's eyes were filled with gold, and he immediately stepped towards the coffin: "Fellow Taoist, let's see what this poor Taoist does."
Zizzi!
When Yu Lie walked out of the stone steps and appeared above the magma pool, the rich evil energy below immediately fell on him, making his body sway, and the true energy in his body was rapidly depleted, as if he was about to plunge headlong into the magma.
of.
This scene made Gui Yeluo's heart tighten. If Yu Lie died, her trip would be in vain.
Because even she dare not say that she can withstand such a strong evil energy. Even if she can resist it, when the earth fire breaks out later, she will definitely not have the strength to guide the earth fire, which will only put herself in a desperate situation
among.
Under Gui Yeluo's nervous gaze, Yu Lie's body swayed and he steadied himself.
Whoosh!
Five poisonous ghosts immediately jumped out of Yu Lie's sleeves and surrounded him, releasing a strong ghost energy to resist the corrosion of the strong evil energy.
Step by step like this, when Yu Lie approached the coffin, the poisonous ghosts who were protecting him were all weak, and their ghost energy was seriously injured.
This situation was beyond the expectations of both Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo.
You need to know the ghost energy of the five poisonous ghosts, but it has been a hundred and twenty years. The five poisonous ghosts have been supporting Yu Lie moving forward, but it is difficult. It is conceivable that if there were no five ghosts, Yu Lie or Gui Ye would have fallen.
When they went into battle, they were afraid that their spirits would be burned dry, but they didn't even get close to the coffin.
Fortunately, Yu Lie had five ghosts to rely on and successfully approached the sarcophagus, with plenty of strength left.
In front of the coffin, Yu Lie did not hesitate. After secretly preparing his own protective spell, he waved his sleeves and robes and struck hard at the sarcophagus.
Dangdang!
The sarcophagus was dull and made a muffled sound, like a stone bell, quite hard.
However, Yu Lie's magic power was strong, and five ghosts flew out, hitting the sarcophagus hard with their claws. In just a few breaths, cracks appeared in the sarcophagus.
The clicking sound sounded in Gui Yeluo's ears, which made her overjoyed, but she hurriedly transmitted the message:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, work harder! Don't let your guard down."
As soon as the female Taoist finished speaking, the rest of the people floating on the sarcophagus started to move.
I saw his body rising suddenly, then turning around, and Yu Lie's figure flashed, flying towards Gui Yeluo.
Hey, there was a sound of the sarcophagus sliding, and a human hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin.
Its fingers were very slender. Compared to the huge sarcophagus, they were like the limbs of an insect. They were not the owner of the coffin at all. But the first time they saw this human hand, they gave it to Yu Lie and Guiye.
To put it another way, it feels like the owner of the sarcophagus!
This made the two of them startled and surprised:
"Human hands? Are the people in the coffin human, not the spirit and evil ghost?!"
According to the remnants of the previous dynasty, this underground palace is the place where the ancestors of the spirit people lay. The true spirit people are evil ghosts. They have no specific form and can only parasitize on armor and other objects.
Even if some spiritual beings can parasitize living people, their bodies will be filled with death energy and quickly decay, turning into a pile of flesh and blood. They must be stuffed into armor or clay puppets to maintain their human form for a long time.
At this moment, what appeared in the eyes of the remaining two people, they could see clearly that it was a human hand. It was pale and unscarred, delicate and smooth, and it must have belonged to a person who was not giving birth.
What surprised Yu Lie and the other two people even more was that an ancient voice suddenly sounded from the coffin:
"What year is it today that the spiritual energy has revived?"
The other party's voice sounded old. Just listening to the voice, Yu Lie felt a strong sense of decay and decay, as if an old wolf was panting and howling.
Suddenly, the sound of sniffing sounded in the underground palace.
The mouth of the sarcophagus was suddenly opened, and a figure wearing a dragon robe with disheveled hair appeared inside. It sat up and made an uncontrollable sound of joy:
"Is this the smell of anger?!"
The sound of sniffing became louder, and the object suddenly raised its head, staring at Yu Lie and Yu Lie with a pair of scarlet-green eyes, and a stream of spiritual consciousness burst out from its body and fell on Yu Lie and Yu Lie.
He was even more delighted and laughed wildly, and from his mouth came out:
"Hahaha!
It is indeed true energy, and there are people in the world who practice Taoism! I define it as the spiritual energy has been revived. Otherwise, how could the two of you get here."
When Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo heard the man in the coffin muttering to himself, they looked at each other and couldn't help but have a thought:
"Could it be that the ancestor of the spirit man is this person, and it was sealed here by itself, waiting for the spiritual energy of this world to revive?!"
More conjectures also appeared in the minds of the two of them.
Amidst the laughter, the man in the sarcophagus stood up at some point.
With disheveled hair, it looked at Yu Lie and the two of them, and roared like a ghost:
"Two monks, since you have disturbed me, you should serve as my food to pay for your sins."
Suddenly, the beast raised its hand, and a thick evil energy flew out of the pool, transformed into a snake shape, and swept towards the remaining two people.
Although Yu Lie and others had been watching and did not act rashly, they had already been prepared for a fight.
I saw Yu Lie evading the attack of the evil spirit with a slight dodge.
On the contrary, Gui Yeluo, who fell behind him, suddenly showed a look of extreme shock and disbelief for some unknown reason, completely dissatisfied with Gui Yeluo's temperament, and seemed to have changed.
She didn't escape in time.
When Yu Lie saw this, his eyelids twitched, and he realized that it was probably the original owner of the other party's possession who jumped out inappropriately and occupied Gui Yeluo's control.
He hesitated slightly in his heart, and he ducked out of the way again, blocking in front of the opponent, and forcefully took the evil blow.
After Yu Lie groaned, he coldly said:
"Fellow Daoist Gui, please don't capsize your boat in the gutter and endanger your life."
In just an instant, the expression on Gui Yeluo's face changed. Her Yin Shen returned and took over her body again. She reached out and slapped her forehead hard to suppress the soul in her head.
After doing this, Guiye looked at the remaining columns in front of him in fear, and immediately sent a message:
"Thank you, Brother Yu! It was the woman in this body who saw the scene in front of me and was so shocked that she temporarily hindered Gui."
Her voice was filled with gratitude.
At that moment, if there were no remaining lines to block her, and she was hit by the evil energy again, she might have to give up the possessed body, or even the Yin Shen might be injured, and she might be implicated and die here.
Grateful, this woman's favorable impression of Yu Lie suddenly increased a lot.
Yu Lie's voice softened and he transmitted the message: "There is no need to say more. Since the dead body in the coffin has come back to life, you and I can just beat it to death."
Guiye nodded, her eyes quickly filled with murderous intent.
As Taoists, the two of them are the best among Taoists. Even if the situation changes, they will not be frightened and run away. On the contrary, they want to kill each other, capture their souls, seize their supplies, and torture and interrogate them.
.
And on the opposite side.
After the man in the coffin took action, a strong evil energy fell on it, crawling into its eyes, ears, mouth and nose like a snake, causing it to wail in pain and relief.
His gray-white hair rose up, allowing Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo to see his face.
The other person's face was rotten, his eyes were black, filled with evil spirits, and he was squirming like maggots.
"Brother, monk! You are about to see God on earth, why don't you kneel down quickly and offer your flesh, blood, soul!"
The beast continued to scream greedily like a fierce ghost. It flew into the air, and the evil energy under its feet condensed into shape. It turned into a six-pathed snake and flew towards the remaining two people.
A sense of oppression that reached the sixth level suddenly fell on Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo, causing their eyes to change slightly again.
But the next moment.
Yu Lie was not affected by this oppression at all, and the five ghosts around him turned into giant ghosts, lifting him up and hitting the man in the coffin.
Boom!
Poison ghosts and evil spirits collided fiercely together.
Yu Lie controlled the five ghosts and successfully intercepted the beast, causing the man in the coffin to stop in mid-air.
"Hey!" His sarcastic voice echoed in the underground palace:
"A mere native dares to call himself a loner in front of Taoists like us, pretending to be a god or a ghost?!"
When the man in the coffin was stopped by Yu Lie, he was not frightened, but the fierce flames on his body became more intense.
But when Yu Lie's voice sounded different from this world, the words "indigenous" and "Taoist" entered its ears.
The animal's movements suddenly stagnated. It raised its head, looked at Yu Lie with its rotten face in disbelief, and screamed:
"Visitors from outside the world, Taoist priests from mountains and seas?!"
