Chapter 13: Tomb of Ten Thousand Bones

"The ancient enchantment has been used, and the person who set up the game can be regarded as having spent a lot of money."

Qin Shihuan's figure, who had been silent in front of him all this time, suddenly stopped. I also thought it was strange that there was a strong sense of oppression suddenly on the stone steps.

"Are you here alone?" He stopped and walked down again.

"Lin Xilin is here too, but I'm separated from her."

"Maybe she got into something by mistake, which triggered the triggering of the enchantment. It's really hard to get out now." He took a few more steps, "It's the end, pay attention to your feet."

I followed up with a few steps, and when I took a firm step, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet, "Why is it so cold?"

As soon as I asked, there was darkness in front of my eyes, and the rhino horn lamp that had been on in Qin Shihuan's hand went out, and at this moment, I felt a tightening of my wrist, as if I was being held by someone.

The cold feeling was even worse than the chill under my feet.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Gradually adapting to the darkness, I looked at Qin Shihuan's shadowy figure, and I couldn't tell what kind of feeling was in my heart.

"I said I was a ghost, would you believe me?"

"You come to say this again, why do I believe you, only ghosts believe you!" I feel that in front of him, I will never be able to be as calm as he is.

"Are you a ghost too? Then why are you afraid of the cold?" He turned around as he spoke, as if confirming whether I was a ghost or not.

Pretentious, I secretly said something to him in my heart. "Didn't you hold my hand? Why, you are as powerful as you, but you still can't see what I am?"

I took the opportunity to test him again, but he stopped talking and turned around, "It's very cold here, you'd better take a chance to protect yourself."

"What about you?" I held his hand instead, summoning my inspiration, and the body protection technique also crossed on him.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm not afraid of the cold." For a moment, a faint white light shone on the two of us. With the faint light, I found that this place is also a passage leading to somewhere, but it is different from the pile of earth and stones above. Instead, it is made of ice bricks with a diameter of seven inches, and its height is about the same as the passageway above, which is more than enough for two people to walk.

There was light for a while, Qin Shihuan let go of my hand, I took a look at him, and then let him go, anyway, the art of protecting himself is on him, it doesn't matter if I hold him or not.

"These ice cubes seem to have been transported from the sea of ​​glaciers. It may take a lot of manpower to transport them and preserve them with ice-type secret techniques." Qin Shihuan scratched the ice bricks with his fingertips, On the sidelines, "It must be used to prevent corruption of something, and this thing is quite big."

"Isn't it better to use secret techniques?" Qin Shihuan always seemed to know a lot, but he didn't say what I wanted to know, which always made me feel irritated.

"Secret techniques always borrow the power of the soul bone, and the source of energy is not endless. Moreover, the borrowed power is far less pure than the original thing. If the effect is a little bit worse, it may destroy thousands of miles." He stopped and stood in one place Exit, the halo came through his body, making his whole body a thin layer of blue.

The icy corridor is not too long. I stood side by side with him, looked at the blue in front of me, took a deep breath, and felt an extremely shocking and intimate feeling in my heart.

Looking around, there are countless dead bones, human figures, animal forms, flying in the sky, and those swimming in the water. They all maintain the most beautiful postures of their lives, and are sealed in ice cubes according to the size of their bodies.Various colors of light flow from the ice blocks sealed around them. They are the power of spirit bones. The colors vary, but they are all blue and purple. Surrounded by these blue and purple is a huge dragon head. Beast body soul bone.

It is attached to a red gold pillar that stands upright from the ground and spirals upwards. There is a darkness above the head, as dark as the night, and bright stars are shining.

I looked at those stars and felt a sudden chill and boredom in my heart.The huge scarlet pupils in the water seem to be right in front of my eyes, and countless biting charms with chalky eyes emerge, and the clear and lonely figure inside seems to surround my world again... I His head hurt again, and he couldn't help holding his hair and groaning in pain.

"Don't be afraid, it's all an illusion..." A gentle face suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and Qin Shihuan's eyes were calm and peaceful.

I felt his hand caressing my left forehead, a warm inspiration slowly poured in, meandering down, dispelling the feeling of boredom in my heart.I looked into his eyes and gradually calmed down.As the restlessness in my heart dissipated, I smiled peacefully and said softly, "Thank you."

He moved his hand away and turned his head. For some reason, I caught a trace of compassion in the depths of his eyes the moment he turned his eyes.

"Are you pitying me?" I sneered.

"The fate of the world is hard to predict. How can I be so pitiful?" He tilted his head, pointed at the dragon head and soul bone, and said, "Do you think that dragon looks like the one in the mural?"

He changed the subject deliberately, so I couldn't ask any more questions, so I stood up, followed his direction, deliberately avoided the endless darkness above my head, and looked at the dragon head spirit bone again.

The dragon head is huge, the body is short, and the limbs are sharp and strong. At the dragon's tail, it forks and walks, forming two coccyx bones, which wrap around the end of the golden pillar.I thought about the dragon carrying the baby in the mural, and I realized that it really has two tails.

I glanced sideways at Qin Shihuan, but saw his gaze descending sequentially, his brows furrowed slightly at some point, apparently seeing something that distressed him.

I continued to look down, and saw that there was a high platform under the long jaw of the dragon head.

There is a golden seat on the high platform. The back of the chair is about three feet high. It is covered with blood-colored distorted runes. The dark blood grooves between the veins are inlaid with various gemstones, which are as big as bird eggs and as small as pearls. They seem to be scattered. , but there is a vague law, and the chaos does not exceed the rules, which makes people feel a sense of respect.

Inside the seat was a human figure with dry bones, wearing a blood-red brocade coat, staring straight at where we were with the black eye sockets.

I looked at the dry bones, and I was surprised to see the appearance of the master.

Unable to restrain himself, he wanted to see clearly, and the Dragon Soul Sword seized an idea, and wanted to walk away and rush to the platform.

"Don't move around." Qin Shihuan suddenly said, and the brows on the sideways face became tighter and tighter, "Don't use your cleverness indiscriminately."

While he was speaking, there was a rattling sound in the huge space, it sounded like something was broken.

"That day, I traveled to Wanqing Mountain, and felt that the spirits in the mountain were very restless, so I stopped and went to check. Then, I found you." Qin Shihuan's voice seemed to come from far away Come.

I don't know why he suddenly said these things, but I saw those huge spirit bones in the field slowly moving, and the ice around him twisted like cracks, and the cracking sound came from the cracks.

The sound rang for a while, then stopped, and the cracking also stopped, and the power of those soul bones rose vaguely from the cracks, and gradually condensed in one direction.

The countless pairs of black eyes of those soul bones suddenly looked at me together, I only felt my scalp go numb, I pursed my lips tightly, and secretly clenched the Dragon Soul Sword.

This move of the soul bone made me understand the meaning of Qin Shihuan's words.

The mountain charm was attracted by me, and so was the green soul beast, that is, Qin Shihuan in front of me, and Ming Laoqi, probably all discovered the strangeness of me, so they behaved like this.

"Even you, too?"

I suddenly jumped in front of Qin Shihuan, with my back facing the direction of the dragon-shaped soul bone, and locked Qin Shihuan's eyes straight.

His eyes are as deep as water, and I can't see the slightest wave.There was no explanation I wanted, and I felt like I was catching a emptiness when I slapped out, and the vain emptiness made me unable to hide the patience all the way.

Glancing at Qin Shihuan with a half-smile, I stepped on the soles of my feet and floated into the air. The more powerful inspiration drove the Dragon Soul Sword to strike a dazzling arc, watching the power of those blue-purple soul bones condense facing the direction, a long cry, "Black Flame!"

Under the long howling sound, the cracking sound was even more rapid, and the shattered ice cubes fell down like rain from the sky.

The frozen soul bones were no longer sealed and imprisoned, and the roaring sound followed by the collapse of the dead bones resounded throughout the space, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Through all this chaos, I keenly saw a figure at the place where the power of the soul bone gathered.

Ming Lao Qi.

Behind him lay Ji Mingche, his heart didn't fluctuate, obviously he had been dead for a long time.On the left and on the right, Mu Qing and Lin Xilin were kneeling, their heads unconsciously drooping towards the golden pillar in the middle, their breathing still lingering.Feeling at ease, I pressed Hei Yan's neck, jumped back from its back, held the hilt of the Dragon Soul sword with both hands, got inspired, and prepared to slash with all my strength.

Ming Lao Qi has been hiding on a dark platform under the golden pillar, with a deep aura, if he hadn't absorbed the power of the broken soul bone, no one would have discovered his existence.

The power of various spirit bones surrounds him at this moment, transforming into wisps of dreamlike aura and entering from his altar, making him look very strange.

Seeing this scene, the Dragon Soul Sword charged up and slashed, and Hei Yan also waved his huge wings to sweep away the falling bone-shattered ice bricks, opening the way for me.

At this moment, the sound of the chain being dragged came from far to near, my ears pulsed, and I followed the sound, and saw that Qin Shihuan had disappeared in the ice-brick tunnel I had just set up, and was shooting from there. Out came a dark blue chain the size of a person and came straight at me.

I hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and slashed with the sword with my backhand. Wherever I touched, a powerful inspiration came back, shaking me almost to the point of losing my stability.Looking at it with extreme eyes, I found that it was not just this place, but chains came out from everywhere, quickly forming a chain blockade.

"Black Flame!"

I let out a low chirp, and Hei Yan's huge body dissipated as ordered.

In the process of avoiding the path of countless chains, through the overlapping shadows of the chains, I saw that Ming Lao Qi behind the chain net had absorbed all the power of the soul bone.

The appearance of the chains made me understand the general situation here.

It's like a giant shell here.

The top of the shell is covered with countless biters with chalky eyes.

There are countless ice tunnels on the wall, and the chains shoot out from one end of the tunnel and enter the ice brick tunnel at the other end, intertwined like a net.

If I hadn't let Black Flame return to my body in time, I'm afraid its huge body would be hurt by these chains with strange ideas.

The protruding chains at the crossing were covered with blood-colored dark streaks, exuding strange ideas, isolating me in a space the size of a person.

All the sealed soul bones shattered and fell into the endless darkness below, only the twin-tailed dragon-headed beast soul bone on one of the golden pillars penetrating the sky and the ground stared at me with a pair of black, dry eyes.

Ming Lao Qi didn't know when he stood beside the golden seat on the platform where the dragon's head descended, and slowly knelt down at the feet of the withered bone in the red dress with an obsessive expression on his face.Mu Qing and Lin Xilin were also brought to the side of the golden seat by him, their heads still drooping, unconscious.He completed the absorption of the power of the soul bone, and there was a faint golden light in his eyes.The corner of his eye slid suddenly, and his eyes fell on me.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I don't know how much time I would have wasted in this Bone Tomb."

He stood up, raised his head and laughed, very insolently.Smiling and laughing, his face suddenly changed, gradually showing a face that surprised me very much.

"Qin..."

Before I could say the last name, I heard a person next to me say, "That's not me."

I turned my head suddenly, and saw Qin Shihuan who had disappeared standing beside me.Holding a ruler made of seven-inch long white jade, he slapped the bronze chains around us very quickly.The blood-colored runes on the chain suddenly lit up, emitting a bloodthirsty light, and a chaotic hissing sound suddenly sounded on the chain.

I turned my eyes to look, and saw some black things running back and forth between the chains, it was a charm!

At this glance, what fell into the eyes was even more remarkable.Whether it's the chain that urges the bloody runes, or the one with the dim runes, they all cling to countless charms, squatting on it faceless and invisible, looking at Qin Shihuan and me covetously. .

"I didn't expect you to be able to activate the blood sacrifice technique on it." Ming Lao Qi roared at Qin Shi with surprise, disdain, and unbearable anger in his eyes, "How can your face... Same!"

"It's not certain whose face it is." Qin Shihuan's tone was colder than ever.At that moment, I almost felt like I never knew him.

Wen Yanming Lao Qi let out a low growl again, stomped his footsteps, and released both palms.With his movements, the golden wings that suddenly appeared on his back disappeared in a flash, and a powerful inspiration burst out.All the bronze chains were under the shop of inspiration, and the blood-colored runes all over the body burned, swallowing huge tongues of flame, and let out a distorted roar as if awakened.

"careful!"

Qin Shihuan whispered, and protected me behind him. The dazzling blue light bursting out from his body obscured everything in front of my eyes, leaving only his particularly thin back flooding my eyes.

The bronze chain was originally burning with blood-colored runes, but under the urging of Qin Shihuan's inspiration, azure flames spread from where we were, and the disgusting sense of erosion disappeared all of a sudden, becoming Chill up.

The two were fighting, and looking around, they could see blue and red flames on the chain, one foot into each other, and I pushed one foot into each other, sticking and undulating.Those ghosts seemed to be afraid of the two colors of flames, and only screamed and danced in the emptiness and darkness above and below the chain.

"Humph!"

Ming Laoqi let out a cold snort, turned his feet into a bow, and a huge transparent rhinoceros horn grew out of the void on his back. With both arms stretched into the bow, a golden arrow aimed at Qin Shihuan from afar.

As if Qin Shihuan didn't realize it, he kept changing the seal formula on the jade ruler in his hand, countering the powerful and strange inspiration on the bronze chain.

Seeing that Qin Shihuan hadn't noticed anything, I felt anxious, and with an idea, I got out of trouble, and flashed behind Ming Laoqi, the Dragon Soul Sword's light rose seven feet, and it slashed at his back!

A sword struck steadily.

Seeing that what I struck was not Ming Lao Qi's back, but the hollow rhinoceros horn, which turned into a tortoise shell in an instant.The Dragon Soul Sword fell into the armor and was firmly sucked in, so it couldn't be pulled out for a while.

With an idea, I stepped on the tortoise shell, trying to use my strength to get out.I saw a spot of gold on the tortoise shell rapidly expand, and when I reacted, this spot of gold turned into a dazzling golden light, which came straight to my face.I dodged sideways very quickly, and saw the long golden arrow sinking into the false stars in the dark night of the dome.

As soon as the golden long arrow sank in, it was completely swallowed by the darkness.

When I thought it was over, I heard an extremely painful roar in the darkness, and I took a look at the fake dark night, only to see the stars falling down like rain, and a huge mass of darkness also appeared. Then, the oppressive feeling of the airflow made me quickly flee from Jin Zhu's platform.

As I was running out, the red lights and shadows in my eyes suddenly turned into blue and white. I was surprised, and when I turned around, I saw that the red flames confronting Qin Shihuan were fading rapidly, and the cold sky blue flames took the opportunity to spread all over the place. The chain went straight to the bottom of the platform.

As far as he could see, Ming Laoqi was wearing a golden awn body, half-kneeling in the mid-air of the Golden Throne, trying his best to support the huge black shadow falling from above his head, obviously to protect the side in the Golden Throne. Red clothes and dry bones.

The black shadow suddenly cracked a gap, and I looked at the crimson inside, and my head hurt all of a sudden.

False stars are still falling, obscuring the scene in front of me like a rain curtain.

The huge blood-colored pupils finally opened completely, filling my world again, the laughter filled my ears, my body was in a state of emptiness, I couldn’t keep my body steady anymore, I felt like I was falling and hit the chains On the ground, layers fell unstoppably, falling into endless darkness...

Under the endless falling, the sound of the impact suddenly disappeared. I thought I had fallen to the bottom, but the ground I was in was extraordinarily soft.The left forehead was touched with warmth and coolness, as if someone had done this before... Under the severe headache, I can't think of anyone who has done this before, but I feel that the headache is slowly fading away, and my body is as soft as if it was sunk into a cloud I don't know where to focus.

Gradually regaining consciousness, I suddenly remembered who was the person caressing my forehead in the corridor, and I screamed out, "Qin Shihuan!"

"I'm here." A gentle voice sounded beside my ear, I turned my head hastily, and the corner of my lips hit a soft spot.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, seeing the calmness in those familiar eyes, a wave of shyness surged in my heart, I raised my hand and pushed him away.

The fox mask hides my face, but it doesn't hide the softness of what it touches, even though I can't feel the softness.

What I bumped into was Qin Shihuan's lips.

With a red face and a beating heartbeat, I stepped back, the sound of the chains under me colliding, and I presumably fell on the chain net.

"Don't be afraid...don't be afraid..." The person in front of me had warm eyes like water, and stretched out his arms to me, trying to calm my out-of-control emotions.

I shook my head, my mind was in turmoil.

What emerges is the thin image of me standing alone under the tree of life and death at the bottom of the cold and silent abyss... What comes out of chaos is Qin Shihuan's desolate and alienated back... the untouchable dry bones of the master...

They are changing chaotically, and they can't settle down no matter what...

"Master..." My shyness cooled down, I lost the last bit of support, and wept weakly...

Qin Shihuan's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of unbearable, he leaned over suddenly, hugged me tightly in his arms, stroked my back, and said repeatedly, "Don't be afraid...not afraid...it's all an illusion...don't do it Really...don't do it really..."

I felt the warmth in his arms, not at all the coldness when I held his hand for the first time.This made the sense of emptiness in my heart gradually settle down, and I began to gradually realize the environment I was in.

Mu Qing and Lin Xilin are still in Ming Laoqi's hands.

I still want to save them.

I closed my eyes, allowing the last bits of heat to slide from the corners of my eyes.He hugged Qin Shihuan's neck tightly with his backhand, bowed his head and buried it in his heart, feeling his calm heartbeat, opened his lips, took a deep breath, and corrected all the overflowing weakness.

When I looked up again, my eyes were determined.

Qin Shihuan looked at me, eyes and lips calmly, with a gentle smile.

My heart was sour again, and I almost couldn't help it.

He took a quick breath and was about to speak when he heard a long inhalation sound.

As if waking up from a deep sleep, the first breath I breathed in the morning, with a slight moan, dragged the end of the sound very lazily for a long time...

Qin Shihuan and I looked at each other, and we looked up at Jin Zuo together.
