Everyone looked at the Impermanence Ghost kneeling on the ground in front of them, and they were all shocked and speechless. The Impermanence Ghost stretched its arms forward, pressed its face tightly into the soil, and knelt down to Qin Yueyang.
This kind of kneeling ceremony is actually a very ancient etiquette in Chinese civilization, and it is the original form of the kowtow ceremony we know now.
Many people think that killing someone is just a nod to the ground. Kneeling down with your knees on the ground and hitting the ground with your head is the greatest courtesy to others. But in fact, before the Warring States Period, all slaves knelt on the ground when they knelt down to their masters.
Not only should the head touch the ground, but also the arms and face should be close to the ground to show one's own humbleness and the master's nobility.
When I go to Tibet now, I see some Tibetan Buddhists also lying on the ground when they kneel to gods and Buddhas, which is a continuation of this etiquette form.
This creature, which looks like a woman, is lying naked in the soil, with its face and arms buried in the soil. It looks very strange, but she remains motionless, as if waiting for the order to allow it to get up.
Chen Zhi immediately gave everyone a shushing gesture, indicating that everyone must not speak. Faced with the situation at hand, it was obvious that there were two conclusions:
First, the creatures in this ghost city must have died a long time ago, but there are survivors. This impermanent ghost survived. In this ghost city of Yingdu, there is no concept of time. This ghost slave does not seem to
It doesn't know that its companions have died, but it is still continuing its work thousands of years ago. It may be responsible for guarding the gate and welcoming the wedding princess sent by humans into the city as usual.
The second is that judging from the groveling attitude of this impermanent ghost, Princess Heqin's status here is not low, and she should be able to give orders to this ghost slave.
"Slave, welcome to marry the goddess~~~~", the voice of the Impermanent Ghost, like metal friction, sounded again. This time, the sound was even more unpleasant than the last time. It was like a broken record player. This kind of creature is probably not good at all.
There are no vocal cords, and the sound is produced only by the collision of certain organs in the body. The tone is extremely sharp and harsh.
At this time, Chen Zhi made a gesture to Qin Yueyang, indicating her to walk in front of the Impermanent Ghost. Then Chen Zhi supported Qin Yueyang beside him, like an envoy to marry the princess, lowered his head and ordered the Impermanent Ghost in standard divine inscriptions,
"Get up! Go and wait nearby and lead us into the city later...".
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, the Impermanent Ghost on the ground showed no reaction and was still crawling there. At this time, everyone was sweating. Chen Zhi was also very nervous. Although he knew the pronunciation of divine words, he used divine words to the ancients.
The way he spoke has no idea at all. I don’t know if there is any flaw in what I just said. The Impermanence Ghost has been an extremely ferocious ghost in the underworld since ancient times. If it discovers that Chen Zhi and others are pretending, I don’t know what will happen after they fall out.
What does it look like...
Time passed by second by second, and everyone's nerves were tense. The long sword of the Ghost Sword had already revealed its edge, and was ready to swing it at any time.
At this time, Qin Yueyang took a step forward and imitated Chen Zhi and said in divine words, "Get up! Go and wait nearby..."
"Yes!" Impermanence Ghost immediately stood up from the ground, turned around, took the lantern with light blue will-o'-the-wisp flames, and swayed towards the opposite side.
No one dared to move, and they watched the naked body like a woman walking in the dark with good eyes. It shook its arms like a human, and its limbs were coordinated, but it walked very stiffly.
The Impermanent Ghost walked six or seven meters away from here, stopped, and stood there with a lantern waiting for them.
Only then did everyone dare to take a deep breath. Fat Wei was so frightened that he was sweating, and his heart almost stopped beating, "This..., the taste of the girls in this underworld is too strong, I still can't stand it."
In this way, they waited at the same spot for more than ten minutes. The Impermanent Ghost stood motionless next to them waiting for them, and the returning Ming Zhou also didn't come.
In the days before entering the underworld, Chen Zhi had calculated the distance and time in the underworld countless times. The map of Huangquan was very accurate. So far, everything was within the scope of the plan.
After entering the underworld through the bronze gate, they only had 24 hours, and it had already taken thirty minutes to walk from the bronze gate to the Wangchuan River. Driving on the waterway from the Wangchuan River to the Yingdu City Gate,
The original plan was to do so within ten minutes. Although they stopped at Naihe Bridge, they did not exceed the time limit.
Theoretically speaking, Mingzhou's return trip should be very fast, because there is no need to check the Naihe Bridge checkpoint in the middle. According to Chen Zhi's plan, even if all emergencies are included, the return trip can not exceed 15 minutes at most. Once this time is exceeded,
Things will become very troublesome after that.
There is still a long way to go in Yingdu City. If the time limit is exceeded, they will not be able to go to the underworld immediately. Even if they get the spirit stone, it will be meaningless.
At this time, they had been waiting on the river bank for a full 15 minutes, but the boat was still far away from sight. Chen Zhi knew that with the skills and psychological quality of those blue belt warriors, it would never be possible to get there.
He was worried about the boat and would not allow Hao Ning to have an accident while the Mingzhou was traveling. There were no other checkpoints in the middle of the waterway. There was only one possibility of this happening right now, and that was the last thing Chen Zhi wanted to see in his plan.
matter…….
"The time is up, let's go!" Chen Zhi said softly to the people around him.
"What? What to do with the other people?" Fat Wei was obviously very worried about his cousin and said anxiously, "How about you leave first and I'll wait for them!".
"There's no need to wait, they won't come..., let's go!" Chen Zhi ordered categorically. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the impermanent ghost holding the blue will-o'-the-wisp over there, trying to lower his voice as much as possible.
To avoid being heard by it, "Everyone, remember, from now on, no one except me can speak. If there is any problem, I will use divine words to communicate with that thing. Do you hear me clearly?"
"Yes", everyone responded softly after hearing Chen Zhi's order.
Chen Zhi nodded, then walked to Qin Yueyang's side and waved to the impermanent ghost in the darkness over there. He saw the eyeless woman staggering over and crawling into the black soil again, waiting.
Order.
Chen Zhi adjusted his tone, and then stood beside Qin Yueyang and ordered in divine words, "Princess has an order, lead the way for us!".
"yes!",
The Impermanent Ghost was very obedient to Chen Zhi's words this time. It climbed up from the ground, covered with black mud foam, turned around stiffly, lit up the blue lantern, and swung toward the darkness.
Go.
When the Impermanence Ghost walked a few meters away, Chen Zhi waved his hand, and the entire team followed suit and walked forward.
Fat Wei looked back at the water of the Wangchuan River with great helplessness, his eyes full of anxiety and worry, but he finally turned around and followed the team forward.
They walked in the darkness for a while. According to Chen Zhi's order, no one dared to make a sound and turned off the searchlights. Only the blue light left in the hands of the Impermanence Ghost was on, and the blue flame
But it is extremely suitable here. Although the illumination is not high, the light range is very far.
Soon, a black and solemn city wall appeared in front of them. The city wall was very high, with no roof visible. The structure was very rigorous. There was a black gold gate in the middle of the city wall, and the gate was densely covered with white decorations.
, at first glance, it looked like clusters of white balls, but when they got closer, they discovered that the black gold door was decorated with human skulls.
