Chapter 166: Resurrection from the Dead
"I feel like there are other people here..."
Old man Zhong was stunned and quickly took the night pearl out to check.
Liu Shiqi followed behind him.
They looked up and down, left and right.
Old Man Zhong then shook his head and said.
"I looked around, there shouldn't be anyone!"
He was also suspicious in his heart, could it be Zhuang Yan?
That’s not right, if it really is Zhuang Yan.
It seems that they have already shown up and will not hide here.
Liu Shiqi also found it strange.
Logically speaking, her intuition should not be wrong.
Just now, that was the moment.
She felt that there was someone at the door, and seemed to be staring at her.
Although there was no sense of danger, it still made her feel uneasy.
After the two of them confirmed again that there was no one around, Old Man Zhong said.
"Okay, let's go!"
Liu Shiqi nodded, and the two continued to walk inside.
Liu Shiqi still followed behind old man Liu Zhong, but from time to time, she would look back.
They walked for a while and saw another stone door.
This stone door is different from the previous one.
The stone door just now was just a big black door with no patterns on it.
But now there is a pattern on this stone door.
There are various ferocious animal faces carved on it, and in the mouth of each animal, there is a gem emitting faint light.
The colors of the gemstones also vary.
Old Man Zhong stepped forward and carefully looked at the animal masks on the stone gate and the gems in their mouths.
Like looking for something.
"This is the mechanism to open the imperial tomb. We must not make any mistakes." Old man Zhong muttered to himself.
Suddenly he turned around and asked Liu Shiqi.
"Girl, what color do you like?"
Liu Shiqi was stunned and pointed at his nose.
"Grandfather, what are you talking about me?"
Old Man Zhong nodded.
"What color?"
Liu Shiqi didn't know what he was going to do, but he said it anyway.
“I like color!”
Old Man Zhong looked at her for several times and then turned his head away. Among the animal heads, I found one with a transparent gem in its mouth.
Then he pressed his finger in.
Then, the gems in the mouths of the other beasts suddenly began to glow, and the light converged on the transparent gem.
The transparent gem instantly turned into colorful ones.
Liu Shiqi looked at this scene in surprise.
At this moment, the air around seemed to freeze.
Liu Shiqi felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the darkness, and a chill ran down his spine.
She frowned and looked around, but could only see endless darkness.
The mechanism of the gate also moved at this time, and with a dull roar, the stone gate slowly rose.
Some dust floated up.
Liu Shiqi couldn't help but cough twice.
Old Man Zhong took a deep breath and asked.
"Are you ready, girl?"
Liu Shiqi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Then, gradually, light came out from the stone gate.
The two of them walked through the stone gate and entered the mysterious imperial mausoleum...
On the other side, the bottom of the sinkhole.
This place is not like what Old Man Zhong imagined. There is no end, and it is dark without light.
There are dots of yellow light here.
It should be emitted by a flying insect.
Although it is not possible to illuminate the bottom of the tiankeng brightly, it is still possible to see objects faintly.
At this moment, in the very center of the tiankeng, on top of a mountain piled with bones, a person was lying.
Or rather, a corpse.
If Liu Shiqi were here, he would recognize that this body was none other than Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan's eyes were wide open, with blood at the corners of his mouth and on his head.
The arms and legs were all twisted.
Obviously dead for a long time.
The body was crawling with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
They were all eating his corpse.
Suddenly, a white shadow gently fell down from the sinkhole.
Landed quietly beside Zhuang Yan.
The snakes, insects, rats and ants on Zhuang Yan's body seemed to have received a great stimulus and retreated like a tide.
The white shadow didn't move at all, just staring at Zhuang Yan's body quietly.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
The sound was ethereal and vague, echoing gently at the bottom of the tiankeng.
"It's really useless!"
"Such a tragic death..."
Bai Ying suddenly squatted down, and as if playing a prank, he gently picked up a leg bone that he couldn't tell whether it was from a human or an animal.
Then it hit Zhuang Yan.
"How can I protect her if I'm so useless..."
The miraculous thing was that where he knocked, Zhuang Yan’s originally horrible body actually gradually healed.
Even the places bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants are now intact.
Finally, Bai Ying threw away the bone in his hand and gently lay on Zhuang Yan's body.
The white shadow and Zhuang Yan gradually overlapped.
Until the white shadow disappears.
But the ethereal voice still echoes.
"Go back, go back to her!"
"She needs you..."
Zhuang Yan's eyes opened wide and suddenly came into focus.
He blinked his eyelids.
"Hiss" sound.
He sat up instantly.
He couldn't help but shudder and looked at his arm in the dim light.
As a result, it was intact.
He rubbed his head again.
Everything is fine.
The rest of the body seemed to be fine.
Zhuang Yan stood up with a confused look on his face. He moved his hands, feet and body.
"Huh?"
"I am totally unharmed."
He looked up at the top of the sinkhole with a look of disbelief.
Although he couldn't see anything, he clearly remembered that he fell from above accidentally.
He still remembers the fear he felt at that time and the pain he felt when he landed.
How come nothing happened?
The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
But seeing the horrific environment around him, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
We have to find a way out quickly.
Zhuang Yan raised his foot and walked to the side.
As a result, there were all kinds of snakes lingering there.
He was so scared that he quickly stepped back and turned to walk in another direction.
Then I found that the place was full of rats and there was no place to step.
Moreover, mice grow almost as big as cats, which is scary to look at.
Zhuang Yan didn't even think about it and quickly changed direction.
This time, there were all kinds of scorpions and poisonous insects in front of him, which made his scalp tingle.
Zhuang Yan quickened his pace and retreated, then changed direction.
He walked and walked, and finally, there were no strange things in front of him. Instead, he saw a stone staircase beside the wall, leading upwards.
Zhuang Yan was overjoyed and walked up quickly.
He just stepped on the first step and fell down.
He was stunned, and tried the second one out of disbelief. Hey, there was no problem.
I stepped on the third one, and it fell down again.
He frowned and tried again, stepping on the second one first, then the fourth.
This time it didn't fall.
He hesitated and stepped onto the sixth step.
As a result, it didn't fall.
Zhuang Yan seemed to have found some pattern and tried the eighth one.
Didn't fall either.
He understood that there would be no problem as long as he stepped on even numbers.
Then he walked quickly upwards.
He didn't realize that his entire body was glowing faintly...
