The other side of time

(Seven)

King Qijia's Mausoleum was built directly according to the trend of the karst caves in the mountains.Xie Yi originally thought that the scale of the mausoleum would not be very large, but when he saw the tomb-sealing stone which was four feet high, he was still surprised.The tombstones are so huge, I don't know what is going on inside.

Fortunately, the organs of the royal tomb were all designed by Yanshi of the Yannv clan. The two quickly found a mechanism nearby, and opened a small door leading to the interior beside the tomb-sealing stone.Those Yanshi knew that the construction of the royal tomb would be a narrow escape, so they left a way out for themselves, and the mechanism was designed so that it could be opened from the outside.In this way, even if there is an accident and cannot escape, there will eventually be descendants who will be able to come in and take out their own bones or relics.

There was no light inside the tomb, so Xie Yi had to light up a Yanjia lantern to illuminate the way.The passage of this karst cave is quite spacious, and there are no poisonous arrows from organs along the way, but there are many terracotta figurines standing in line on both sides of the road, but they all have dull expressions and rough workmanship.The customs of the great Mongolian country are strange, so many pottery figurines are used for burial.After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two came to a cave, but there was only a way in and no way out.Xie Yi held up the Yanjia lantern, and found that the rock wall was full of grooves like niches, and inside each groove was a standing pottery figurine, which was more exquisitely crafted than those on the road outside, and the ones going up The more detailed.On the top of the cave is a statue of a god with three heads and six arms. There are three heads, one is fierce, the other is a beautiful woman, and the other is a wrinkled old man.

Xie Yi said: "This can't be a dead end, there must be a mechanism, let's look for it."

Chu Qi suddenly stopped him: "Shh, I seem to... hear something."

Xie Yi listened, at first he only heard the faint sound of water, there should be an underground river nearby.Later, I gradually heard a very low whining sound, as if someone was crying in a crack in the rock. This strange crying sound was far and near, mixed with the sound of the underground river, making it difficult to distinguish the source of the sound. where.After a while, the rustling of walking and the crackling of crackling sounded outside the cave, and the sound became louder and louder.Xie Yi and Chu Qi looked at each other, then put the Yanjia Lantern on the ground, both of them took out their knives, and stood back to back to prepare for the battle.

The first shrill roar came towards Xie Yi, before he got close to him, Chu Qi chopped him into two pieces.With the light of the Yanjia Lantern, Xie Yi suddenly saw that it was a "person" with dark complexion and distorted face.He couldn't help frowning: "What is this?"

The knife in Chu Qi's hand pierced a strange man's throat again, and he pulled out the knife. The man backed up a few steps, but he didn't fall down, and rushed forward again.Chu Qi had no choice but to cut off its head before it lay still on the ground.He flicked the black and green blood on the blade: "It doesn't look like a living person, it should be a puppet."

While speaking, a very close cracking sound rang in the ears of the two of them. Xie Yi followed the sound and saw that the shell of a terracotta figurine's face was cracked, revealing a dark blue face.

It turned out that those pottery figurines were used for this purpose.

Amidst the vaguely eerie whimpering sounds in the cave, more and more puppets poured in from the door and climbed down from the stone niche. With the spatula ridge in hand, it will be a piece with one blow with the thunder protection spell.To the two of them, these puppets were really not that powerful, but there were too many of them, no matter how hard they killed them, they couldn't kill them all.After killing for a short while, Chu Qi said: "This is not possible, as far as we have just seen, there are probably tens of thousands of puppets here, and it is not easy to kill them all."

"Then what should we do?" Even while speaking, Xie Yi was not idle at all, and fell down again in an instant.

"These puppets are made from the corpses of dead people, and they are all controlled by Gu insects. There must be a controller hiding here."

"That said, you have already discovered the controller, right?"

"And now you've found out, too."

The two smiled at each other.

Xie Yi continued to kill the puppets with lightning-controlling spells, and Chu Qi quietly leaped into the air on the rock wall, grabbing the heads of the three-headed and six-armed gods.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--' , but it was half a step too late.Chu Qi's body skills were too fast, and it didn't have time to dodge ahead of time. One of its heads was cut off, and it let out a sharp scream, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"I said, why is it carved so well? It's not a stone statue at all." The monster was about twice the height of a normal person. Xie Yi noticed that one of its hands was holding something like a xun, and asked: " On the seventh day of the lunar new year, did it use the Xun to manipulate these large numbers of puppets?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"Hey, hey, hey!" After the stone statue fell to the ground, he picked up the severed head of Chu Qi and pressed it on his neck. The head was able to speak: "Meat...fresh meat...delicious, hehehe ..."

Its left shoulder, shaped like a woman's head, immediately cursed in a high-pitched voice: "Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat!"

The head of the old man on the right also opened his mouth, his voice was old and hoarse: "Whoever trespasses on the resting place of my king will die—"

The three monsters couldn't be killed even if their heads were cut off. I don't know where their weakness is.Although it has a huge body, its movements are quite nimble. While attacking the two of them, it played the Tao Xun with one hand, intending to attract more puppets.Unexpectedly, as soon as he blew a weeping tone, Tao Xun, together with an arm, was smashed to pieces by Xie Yi's Thunder Control Technique.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-" and a new arm grew from Huibai's wound, but he could no longer manipulate the puppet.

Although not powerful, it is very difficult to deal with.Ordinary attacks are useless, if you gather spiritual power and directly use the Lightning Control Technique to smash it into pieces, the cave will probably collapse.And it actually only attacked Xie Yi, ignoring Chu Qi at all: "Meat...hehehe...don't run, hehe..."

Forget it, if Xie Yi holds it back, Chu Qi can take the opportunity to find out its weakness.

On the surface, the three heads are all the same, but in fact, its arm and the other two heads are protecting the old man on the right, not daring to let it suffer any harm.

That being the case—

As long as it was Chu Qi's goal, with the strength of this monster, it was impossible to avoid it.He jumped up towards the monster, a cold light flashed, even Xie Yi couldn't see Chu Qi's saber style clearly, he only saw him make a roundabout and landed firmly on the ground.The white-haired old man's head fell to the ground, the monster knelt down, and the remaining two heads let out a shrill scream.

The ferocious head quickly tilted to one side and did not move, and the woman's head wept mournfully: "Why, why did you kill me, we are obviously the same kind..."

What it did just now was a completely mindless monster, but now that it is about to die, it speaks a bit like a human being.It's just this sentence that immediately made Xie Yi angry: "It's nonsense, how can Chu Qi be the same kind of monster as you?"

"Heh...hehehehehehe..." The head looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "He is a puppet, and so am I. They are all made of human bodies and controlled by Gu insects. How noble are you compared to me— —”

A Yanjia knife passed through its throat, but it was not Chu Qi, but Xie Yi, he said coldly in a tone he had never heard before: "Enough, shut up."

The monster's huge body crashed down.

Xie Yi withdrew the knife, stood there blankly, and said a little helplessly: "What it said just now is nonsense, Chu Qi, just ignore it..."

"I know. These puppets are all dead things made of corpses, and I am still alive." Chu Qi pressed his hand on his silent chest: "Unless one day, there is something wrong with the natal Gu inside. question."

When Tong created him, he let the Gu in his chest continue his life, and the Gu in his brain made him obey orders.As a puppet, even if life is gone, it can still act when it hears orders.

Only then, is the real walking dead.

"How could Tong Lian's Gu worms go wrong!" Xie Yi felt his heart sink, and he didn't know if he said this to comfort Chu Qi or himself.He didn't want to think too much about it, so he quickly changed the topic: "Well, let's find out where the agency is first."

The two searched for a while with the lamp, and they found a mechanism above the dome. This mechanism was blocked by the statue-like three-headed puppet, so they didn't find it when they first entered the cave.Xie Yi handed the Yanjia Lantern to Chu Qi to raise it higher. He followed Chu Qi's example and jumped up on the wall with his strength.

The design of this mechanism is quite exquisite and complicated, and it is not a certain level of Yanshi, and there is really no way to crack it.It didn't take much time for Xie Yi to open it, and saw that the place in the middle of the cave facing the dome slowly cracked open, revealing a six-foot-square hole. how high.He said to Xie Yi: "Be careful when you come down, don't jump directly into the hole."

"I know." Xie Yi was about to jump down, when suddenly a gap opened above the dome, and the sound of the underground river suddenly became louder.Before he had time to react, the sudden huge current rushed him into the hole on the ground!

"Xie Yi!" Chu Qi didn't even think about it, and jumped into the rushing water.
