In the story, in order to activate the altar, Gu Peng held Shen Lanshang down and allowed Ming Xiao to cast a spell, transferring the curse onto her.
Since you've become the heroine's accomplice, you must bear the consequences.
What goes around comes around.
Linghu Lan bypassed his corpse and continued walking inside.
The passageway is lined with murals, their simple yet powerful curves depicting the prosperous scene of the Demon Mother's Kingdom, where people from all over the world come to worship and the people live in peace and contentment.
These murals are divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower.
At the very top, there is a coiled dragon rolling in the clouds.
The middle section might depict scenes of people living in peace and prosperity, envoys paying homage, or the Demon Mother training troops, and so on.
At the very bottom are a dozen women with enormous eyes, looking down at the ground, with everything underground clearly visible. This clearly indicates that the Ghost Mother's eyes can see everything underground.
Linghu Lan suddenly remembered a saying: Fish cannot see water, people cannot see wind, ghosts cannot see earth, and dragons cannot see anything.
This means that fish live in water but cannot see water, people breathe air but cannot see air, ghosts live underground but cannot feel the earth's obstruction, and dragons, as the most intelligent of all creatures, cannot see anything in the world but can only see the existence of souls.
She suddenly realized that the reason the Ghost Mother was called the Ghost Mother was because she had eyes that could see through the earth.
If this statement is true, then the Ghost Mother is clearly a magical being who transcends the three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld.
In the heavens, she can control clouds and rain, comparable to a dragon; on earth, she can ignore the barriers of the ground, and unlike ghosts, she is not afraid of sunlight.
That's a really powerful character design!
If the Demon Mother truly possessed such abilities, she could have established the most powerful kingdom in the world, and the day she ruled the entire world would be just around the corner. However, she did not, which suggests that the Demon Mother's abilities have their limits or are subject to certain constraints.
Even so, it's undeniable that the Ghost Mother is truly different from ordinary humans, almost reaching the realm of gods. Such a character alone is enough to stir one's heart. Linghu Lan sighed silently and continued walking forward. After a few steps, she saw a crossbow.
A crossbow bolt of exquisite craftsmanship was shot from here; the arrow that 'shot' Gu Peng was fired from here.
Linghu Lan casually pulled the crossbow bolts out of the mechanism and carried them on her back.
I will repay you with an eye for an eye, and an arrow for an arrow.
...
Inside the Ghost Mother's Palace.
Looking at the corpses, Ming Xiao couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Fu.
When they were on the outskirts, they did not see any bodies.
The corpses outside were all buried in sand, but inside the Ghost Mother's Palace, corpses could be seen everywhere, each with a different appearance.
Because they were in a closed, sterile, and dry environment, these bodies formed very rare mummies.
"Brother Jiang, I think if we can't find anything, we can make a lot of money by selling mummified corpses abroad."
"That requires connections and you could easily get caught. I think it's more practical to deal in some antique artifacts."
Jiang Fu patted Ming Xiao on the shoulder and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid!"
Mingxiao shook her head and lowered her eyes. She wasn't afraid; instead, she had a very complicated feeling.
It was a feeling of both closeness and fear, a call from the depths of her soul, a call from her very blood. It was as if the ghosts of the entire Ghost Mother Kingdom were watching her, both welcoming and hating her. This thought made her shiver again.
"These bodies are quite well preserved. We can come back after we get out and find a way."
"Brother Jiang, should we touch these corpses first? So we don't make a wasted trip."
Several men couldn't resist the urge to touch the corpse and turned their attention to it.
