Lianyi walked forward slowly, with a layer of golden light on her hand, and slowly touched the top of a guard's head. After a minute, she withdrew her hand, frowning tightly.
Because these four pottery figurines of guards were made from living people.
The owner of the tomb was a prince who lived a thousand years ago. When he was young, he was the regent prince and was considered to have great power.
But as he grew older, he became more afraid of death. He wanted to hold power in his hands for a long time and enjoy the admiration of everyone.
So, he began to pursue the art of immortality. There were many swindlers, and people with real abilities were unwilling to be controlled by others. The regent could only watch himself slowly grow old, and he became more and more anxious.
However, the puppet emperor had a bold plan to eliminate his uncle who had undermined his power.
The emperor found an evil way and told his uncle another way to achieve immortality, so that he could go to the underworld and continue to be the King of Ghosts after his death.
The aging regent knew that he did not have much time left, so he chose to believe this evil rumor and began to build his own mausoleum.
The location of the tomb was chosen by Xie Dao. His purpose was very simple. He wanted to avoid offending the emperor and make the regent serve him.
The method is rather vicious. The cemetery was built in a place where ghosts were raised, so that the regent's soul could not return to the underworld after his death, but was trapped here, and slowly grew into a powerful ghost king, and then was driven by evil ways and became the trump card in his hand.
In this way, the emperor will be satisfied and the regent can exist for a long time, thus achieving the goal of longevity.
The plan went smoothly. The Regent spent a lot of money, and despite countless casualties, the tomb complex was finally built. It was built according to the five-story house he had before.
In order to ensure that he could continue to enjoy life in the underworld even after his death, he even killed all the craftsmen who built the cemetery in order to keep it secret. The burial pit that Lianyi had just handled was just one of them.
In order to accumulate enough resentment, the regent listened to the lies of the evildoers and used living people to make pottery figurines to bury himself with him. When he arrived in the underworld, he would also need people to serve him and enough troops to protect himself.
After everything was ready, Xiedao presided over the funeral ceremony on an auspicious day. The regent was still alive at this time, and it was quite strange that he wanted to witness his own funeral in person.
This just met the requirements of the evil sect for raising ghosts, and everything went smoothly. The regent went in alive, and then was trapped by the evil sect in the core of the ghost-raising land. He just waited for the other party to become strong, and then let the regent recognize him as the master.
After Xiedao left, he hid the entire mountain, fearing that the emperor would find out and ruin his good deeds. When the regent grows up, it will be his time to reap the rewards.
Unfortunately, he never came back after he left. With the passage of time, the world changed dramatically, and the concealment methods arranged by the evil sect became ineffective, and this forest reappeared in front of people.
However, due to the existence of the cemetery and the special terrain here, the ghosts inside are still trapped inside and cannot leave.
This time, several adventurers broke the closed loop formed by the ghost-raising land. The entry of the archaeological team disturbed the ghosts inside. When they found that they could leave, they rushed out immediately.
Unfortunately, this year was the time when the sun was closest to the planet, and the yang was extremely strong. When they rushed out, they were unable to adapt to the outside environment and had to return to the cemetery. Then they wisely chose to leave the cemetery and wander around at night.
When daybreak comes, they return to the cemetery to seek shelter.
When Lianyi arrived, he saw that the ghosts that dared to wander around the camp during the day were all quite powerful. In just a few days, these ghosts became more and more adaptable.
If she had come five days later, these things would have been completely gone from this ghost-raising place.
The reason they did not leave was, firstly, because they had not adapted to the outside environment, and secondly, they instinctively knew that staying in the cemetery was good for them.
The four terracotta warriors in front of Lianyi were the captains of the guard team in front of the Regent. They were originally just guarding the gate and could never get in front of the Regent.
But the Regent had given the order that there must be a gatekeeper at his tomb, and the four men were knocked unconscious without any warning and burned into gatekeepers. They saw their own lives slip away with their own eyes, so you can imagine how deep their resentment was.
Lianyi sighed. She couldn't release the souls of the four people now, as it would easily alert the prince. But if she let them continue to collide, the pottery that trapped them would be broken.
So Lianyi took out four talismans from the space, waved his hand and injected them into the four terracotta figurines of guards, causing the souls inside to fall into a deep sleep.
Then she stepped into the tomb door behind the four people.
In the blink of an eye after Lianyi stepped into it, the surroundings changed drastically, and it looked like the entrance to a wealthy family's house.
A man in servant's clothes walked towards Lianyi respectfully, performed an ancient ritual, and then spoke:
"I wonder if the young lady has come here alone, is there something going on?"
Lian Yi glanced at the other person's pale face, looked at the little ghost who floated over without feet, and said calmly:
“Several of my friends accidentally broke in here, and their families were worried, so they sent guards to look for them. But the guards didn’t go back, so I had to come here in person.
I wonder where my friends and guards are? If it is convenient, let me take them away. "
After hearing Lian Yi's words, the little ghost remained expressionless and said respectfully:
“Miss, I have indeed seen those people you mentioned, but they broke in without permission, which made the Regent very unhappy, so he locked them up.
We servants have no right to release people."
"Then inform your regent that there is a visitor."
Ripple said lightly.
He raised his hand and handed the other person an exquisite business card.
The little ghost took it respectfully and invited Lianyi to wait in the side hall, saying that he would go and inform them.
After Lianyi sat in the side hall, a little ghost dressed as a maid brought her tea and snacks, which looked very serious.
But in Lianyi's eyes, the plate was full of black things of unknown origin, and the tea was a red liquid with an extremely fishy smell, so she didn't even touch it.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the little ghost servant floated back again, and then said to Lianyi:
"My regent invites you to see me, young lady."
"Thank you, please lead the way!"
Lianyi stood up and said with a faint smile.
"Miss, this way please!"
The servant led the way, guiding Lianyi through the courtyards and to the largest and most luxurious house at the end.
The ghost servants encountered along the way all bowed very politely, and there were also eyes secretly watching in the dark.
When Lianyi entered the magnificent hall, she saw the masculine and handsome regent, who was holding a beautiful concubine in a red dress in his arms.
"You are very brave. You dare to enter my territory alone."
The Regent held a golden wine glass in his hand, looked at Lianyi with a scrutinizing look, and spoke bluntly.
"As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it."
