"This should not be a simple wall painting, but a totem representing some kind of evil power or curse."
Yu Huo approached the cliff covered with wall paintings at a close distance, looked at it carefully, and said thoughtfully.
Liu Wusheng seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and reached out to touch the wall paintings full of traces of time, but was stopped by Yu Huo on the spot, saying: "There is too much evil here, and the huge boulder that rolled down just now will not appear. Such a coincidence.”
"You mean... someone deliberately lured us in just to let us see this wall painting?"
Although Yu Huo was just guessing, it was not a bad thing to be cautious after all. Liu Wusheng didn’t pay too much attention to Yu Huo’s warning. He retracted his hand and asked with some curiosity: "What do you think of this barren mountain?" Who painted this wall painting in this black hole and deep pool?"
Regarding this point, Yu Huo thought of another rumor about the Xuanmen. It is said that the bloodthirsty bead is one of the secret skills of the Xuanmen.
This bead is completely translucent and is developed from soul-eating powder. The bead is then poured into the bead body and fed into the body of the dying person. As the body's gastric juice corrodes the bead body, the toxicity slowly develops, achieving a bloodthirsty effect and can be absorbed. Dried human blood and moisture.
Through this method, people are made into rotten and immortal human pupa mummies for the purpose of permanent preservation, which is called immortality.
This wall painting was rich in content and wanted to express a lot, but Yu Huo discovered something fishy in the wall painting.
The entire wall painting is made of gray and dark colors, with delicate brushwork and a magical and fairy-like technique. Although it has experienced the baptism of time, it is still vivid, lifelike and breathtaking.
"It's an ode to Gray Fairy history."
Yu Huo's words made Liu Wusheng realize something, and he said with some confusion: "Grey Immortal? There are Liu Immortal and Huang Immortal in front of you, could it be..."
Liu Wusheng was short of saying 'Five Immortal Guards', but Yu Huo also guessed this.
Along the way, it was obvious that someone was pulling behind him, and the person pulling behind him was most likely the 'Five Immortal Guards'.
The 'Five Immortal Guards' have long been freed from the shackles of the abandoned nest, crossed the Yin and Yang Realm, and lurked in the human world, and these unruly resentful spirits naturally came from the three major sacrificial vessels of the Seam Corpse lineage.
At present, the Bloodthirsty Bead is the only clue that can gather the three major sacrificial weapons of the Corpse Sewing Lineage. Naturally, the 'Five Immortal Guards' will not let go of this God-given opportunity.
Not only would they not let go of such an opportunity, but they would also use Yu Huo's identity as a corpse to help them find these three treasures.
The reason why the 'Five Immortal Guards' want to get these three things by any means is because they know the value of these three things. Although this is just a rumor, it makes the 'Five Immortal Guards' believe it deeply.
There are rumors in the world that these three sacrificial artifacts are not just ritual artifacts used to sew corpses to commemorate the dead, but have unusual abilities that can change the fate of the deceased against the will of heaven.
What's more, it is said that as long as the three sacrificial vessels are combined, people can be brought back to life and completely escape the fate of becoming a 'ghost'.
Rumors in the world are, after all, rumors in the world and should not be believed at all. However, the Five Immortals Guards do not believe in this evil. They believe that as long as these three sacrificial artifacts are allowed to return to the world, the evil ghosts who have been exiled outside the Nest Territory can completely turn around.
In Yu Huo's view, this is just the wishful thinking of the 'Five Immortal Guards'. Ming Deng and Ming Ring have appeared, but Ming Ring has never appeared, which makes the rumors in the world more and more confusing.
Some people say that the Ming Lantern and the Ming Ring are easier to keep and can be passed down, but this Ming Mirror is an easily broken mirror after all. It is simply harder to pass down the origin than to reach the sky, and it may have been broken long ago.
If Ming Jing is gone, it means that the rumors in the world have completely turned into legends.
But Yu Huo, as the leader of the Corpse Sewing Lineage, naturally doesn’t want this rumor to turn into a legend. The three sacrificial artifacts are the only remaining assets of the Corpse Sewing Lineage. As the leader of the Corpse Sewing Lineage, he has reason to find their whereabouts. , protect their safety, and allow them to be passed down safely.
Yu Huo naturally found them for the sake of his master, but if someone with ulterior motives obtains any one of the three sacrificial vessels, if he does not follow the right path, he will inevitably end up in a doomed situation. Yu Huo knows this better than anyone else. .
It was precisely because of this worry that Yu Huo hesitated, but finally decided to take the risk, because only by finding the whereabouts of the three major sacrificial artifacts could he know whether the rumors in the world were true or false, and he could also win peace for the corpse-stitching lineage.
"After the Gray Immortal, there should be the White Immortal or the Fox Immortal. These four gates and eight methods were not set up by the people in the Xuanmen."
"You're not the one in the hanging door, you mean... from the beginning, we have become their pawns?"
Liu Wusheng said curiously, seeing that Yu Huo was so sure that the four gates and eight methods were not done by Xuan Men, he then asked again, "Then what started the opponent's game of chess? When Jia Liu was killed ?”
Yu Huo shook his head, took out a cigarette and lit it. He took two puffs and took a breath before saying, "Jia Liu is the guide for us to board the ship."
"No way. Jialiu has been hiding his name for decades just to have someone succeed him. He can't be from the Five Immortal Guards."
Yu Huo's words were shocking, but Liu Wusheng couldn't accept this reality at all. He kept denying Yu Huo's statement, but he had to admit this fact.
"He should also be a chess piece in the chess game of the Five Immortal Guards. To be precise, he is an abandoned piece."
Seeing that Liu Wusheng still didn't want to believe it, Yu Huo poured a ladle of cold water on him, chilling him to the core and completely shattering his remaining illusions.
The "Five Immortal Guards" are like lingering ghosts, everywhere. In order to subvert the rules between humans and the abandoned nest, and get rid of the shackles of the Yin and Yang world, they will use any means to achieve their goals, not to mention that there is no one left. Just chess pieces that use value.
Liu Wusheng was conflicted in his heart at this moment. After all, he had been looking for opportunities to contact the 'Five Immortal Guards' and had been preparing to join the 'Five Immortal Guards'.
This time, he took the risk to come with Yu Huo, naturally because he wanted to give a big gift to the 'Five Immortal Guards'. With the certificate of submission, he would naturally have a place to establish himself, but he ignored one thing, that is, profit.
Whether human or ghost, there is one word that cannot escape after all, and that is profit.
Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
It is human nature to seek profit. People die for money and birds die for food, just like wild beasts. The weak eat the strong. The fittest survive. If human beings are like this, how can we talk about monsters and monsters?
Facing reality, Liu Wusheng had to face the fact that the Xuanmen had been corroded by the 'Five Immortal Guards'. Although this was a shame for the sect, it could not change this fact after all.
After gathering his mood, Liu Wusheng gritted his teeth and said, "What is the intention of the person behind the scenes to set up a trap for us to see this wall painting?"
Before Liu Wusheng could finish his words, he saw that the entrance to the cave had been sealed with huge rocks, which made Yu Huo immediately realize that something was wrong.
It was obvious that the other party first used huge rocks to open the black hole, luring Yu Huo and the others down, letting an inexplicable wall painting attract Yu Huo and the others' attention, thus relaxing their vigilance. Then, they sealed the entrance of the cave, leaving Yu Huo and the others with no way out.
But Yu Huo knew that he was the only clue to find the three major sacrificial weapons of the Corpse Sewing lineage, so he should be safe for the time being.
The other party did this not because they wanted them to die, but for other reasons. So what did the other party want?
Just as Yu Huo was trying to figure out the other party's purpose, "squeaking" sounds came from everywhere in the dark cave, and they were densely gathering towards the wall painting.
With such a battle, Liu Wusheng's heart tightened, and he was about to run away with the mouse in his arms, but found that there was no place to move, so he had to stay in place. Those disobedient mice climbed up regardless of his orders, making Liu Wusheng tremble in fear.
But Yu Huo discovered that these mice were not malicious, as if they had received some kind of instructions. They just moved closer to the wall painting non-stop, and then performed their duties and stayed next to the wall painting, sending out a "ba" signal. A signal to call for companions.
"I said... is this going to end? Can we do something quickly to get out of this hellish place?"
Facing so many rats, Liu Wusheng became a little impatient, but when he thought that the exit had been blocked, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart. He was blaming Yu Huo for entering this black hole on his own initiative.
"These little guys should be able to get us out of this place soon."
Yu Huo finally said calmly, making Liu Wusheng almost laugh, and said with a look of disdain: "Are you just kidding me? It's true that mice can dig holes, but if you can If you get in, I, Liu Wusheng, will take your surname and change it to Yu!"
"Don't talk too much. Besides, our Lao Yu family won't accept people like you."
Seeing Liu Wusheng's harsh words, knowing that he was speaking out of anger, Yu Huo got into a fight with him so that he couldn't get down the stairs.
"I...what's wrong with me? I'm coming with you. It's just that I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes. I..."
Liu Wusheng was full of complaints and had nowhere to vent, but he could only gnash his teeth and hate himself, wishing he could slap himself on the spot.
However, before he could slap him, the rats suddenly quieted down and stood in an orderly row, just like a formal military exercise.
At this time, Yu Huo lit a few sticks of incense and inserted them next to the wall painting. Then he took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on a mouse in the wall painting, chanting: "The ashes of the incense will not fall. Immortals appear...predict the future and open roads in every mountain..."
As soon as Yu Huo finished speaking, it turned out to be true. The mouse stuck in the middle of the wall painting seemed to be a psychic. He commanded, and all the mice behind him swarmed up, biting and making holes at the wall painting. , division of labor, cooperation, and orderliness.
Soon, the wall painting disappeared without a trace under the crazy attacks of many rats. It was replaced by a deep passage, and the entrance of the passage was as tall as a man.
Seeing this magical scene, it was simply unbelievable. Liu Wusheng was instantly frightened, and his jaw almost dropped. He looked back at Yu Huo and almost gave a thumbs up, but because of his face, he didn't say anything. He hesitated to speak.
Yu Huo saw him grunting and striding into the tunnel. He looked back at Liu Wusheng and said, "Everyone has cleared the way for you. Let's go."
"No...this is too outrageous."
