Chapter 1094 One more person
"Ten chances of death?"
My pupils shrank immediately after hearing Xu Zhengchun's words.
Ten chances of death, doesn't that mean that Xu Zhengchun will definitely die on this trip?
To this, Xu Zhengchun seemed not to care at all, and even smiled and said: "I said that this is the fate of my Xu family, and the destiny cannot be violated..."
He sighed, and I fell silent at this moment.
It's the so-called fate, and it's the so-called destiny that cannot be violated.
Is destiny really inviolable?
If this is true, why would anyone try to spy on the secret of immortality?
Why do some people prolong their lives as living corpses, and even some people turn into zombies, immortal and indestructible?
Isn't this in itself a rebellion against destiny?
After that, neither of us said anything. We just kept our heads down and walked forward along the narrow cave.
This cave sloped downward. The deeper we went, the wider it became. After walking for about half an hour, the place we were in had changed from a cave to a corridor.
This corridor was obviously built when the ancient tomb was first built. There were even stairs under the feet, and there were even murals carved on the stone walls on both sides.
However, because it was too old and this place was not in a vacuum state, the murals were severely damaged. Most of them had faded, and some had even fallen off. It was completely impossible to tell what was carved before.
A year ago, when I entered the ancient tomb, I saw a man in the murals of the ancient tomb.
The man stood on the platform, holding a precious sword, pointing straight up.
Below the platform, there were a group of armored soldiers. Although it was just a mural, I could still feel the pressure brought by the soldiers in the mural.
I even had the illusion that the man was going to lead an army to attack the sky.
At that time, I had many guesses about the man, and even guessed that the man was most likely the owner of this ancient tomb.
But now it seems that the man should be the legendary Qin Shi Huang.
"If there is such a thing as destiny, then the First Emperor... has survived until now, and even played a chess game that spanned nearly two thousand years. Isn't this defying destiny?"
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. At this time, the corpse qi and evil spirit in the corridor were getting stronger and stronger. Xu Zhengchun, who was walking in front, was already injured. At this moment, he was infected by the corpse qi and evil spirit again. He immediately began to pant violently and even coughed.
In the end, he even spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
"Qian Yu, I'm afraid I can't go forward with you. I need to rest. Xu Nian... can only rely on you to save him." Xu Zhengchun said, took out the small porcelain bottle again, and swallowed a pill.
I nodded when I heard it, and just said "take care" and walked forward again.
Without Xu Zhengchun to lead the way, I walked more cautiously. As I walked, I let go of my five senses and carefully sensed the slightest movement around me.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. After walking in the corridor for about twenty minutes, I suddenly saw a ray of light in front of me.
I squinted my eyes, held the Soul-Slaying Knife in my right hand and walked forward quickly.
When I walked to the place with the light, I found that this was the end of the corridor.
What appeared in front of me was a cliff.
The whole ancient tomb was like a huge bucket. From top to bottom, it was of the same thickness. At the bottom of the bucket were endless ghost soldiers and the coffin hanging in the air.
At this moment, I was on the wall of the bucket, at least fifty meters away from the ground.
I squatted at the end of the corridor, squinting my eyes and carefully observing the scene in the underground palace.
In the dim underground palace, only a few eternal lamps still had flames flickering. The dim lights illuminated the underground palace, and those lifeless and motionless terracotta warriors were still standing in neat formations as they were a year ago.
However, compared with the year before, the corpse aura emitted by these terracotta warriors today was obviously stronger than a thousand years ago. It felt as if these terracotta warriors would open their eyes and revive completely at any time.
In front of these terracotta warriors is a platform for selecting generals. On the platform, several horses are pulling a chariot. On the chariot stand several soldiers in armor. In the center of the chariot stands a man holding a long sword. This man should be Li Xin's adjutant.
In front is a pool of water, and this pool is the legendary corpse pool.
"The corpse pool should be an indispensable part of making living corpses. Could it be that the Xu family took away some of the water in the corpse pool?" When I thought of this, my heart suddenly became nervous.
After all, my two uncles are still in the corpse-raising pool. Although my second uncle woke up last year, he still cannot leave the ancient tomb. And my first uncle has not even woken up yet, and I don’t know how he is now?
And now the Xu family has really taken away some of the water in the corpse-raising pool. Will my first and second uncles sleeping in the corpse-raising pool be affected?
Will the Xu family do anything to my two uncles?
The second uncle once told me that my master made a deal with the Xu family. Otherwise, the Xu family would not agree to my master sending the two uncles into the ancient tomb. Since it was a deal, the Xu family should have no reason to touch my two uncles, right?
I took a deep breath and then continued to watch.
The coffin hanging in the air was still there, still floating there quietly, without any unusual movement.
However, the corpse gas and evil spirit overflowing from the coffin were extremely dense, even to the point of being a little scary.
After all, the one sleeping in the coffin was a flying zombie. It could be said that he was the source of the corpse gas and evil spirit overflowing from the ancient tomb!
"It doesn't seem to be anything unusual. Where is Xu Nian? Where is that person...?" I squinted my eyes, looking puzzled.
But the next second, my heart suddenly shook.
Because I suddenly realized that compared to a year ago, the chariot now parked on the general's platform seemed to have...something more?
But what exactly was more?
I squinted my eyes and examined it carefully, and then, my heart was shocked.
Because I finally knew what was extra on the chariot.
It was a person.
"Could it be..." I was terrified and looked again with my eyes wide open.
The dim light was constantly flickering, and at this moment, with the help of the dim light, I finally saw who the extra person was!
This person was actually...Xu Nian!
