Chapter 2094: For whom does the funeral bell ring
? "Is this a funeral bell? What a joke!"
When I saw this dusty and extremely simple standing clock, my expression changed drastically, and my heart was instantly pulled up to my throat.
The truth is, this clock is too famous!
Because this funeral bell, in myths and legends, is a sacred artifact held by the Judge of Life and Death.
The Judge of Life and Death has more than one sacred artifact, and each of them is extremely terrifying and extremely famous. Among them, the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death are the most famous, but these two are somewhat related to the power of death, and the funeral bell is also a sacred artifact of the Judge of Life and Death. This sacred artifact is still related to the power of death!
You can see that this bell is located on the ground. It is nearly one meter high and is made of red sandalwood. Because it is too old, the sandalwood has turned dark red, as if it was filled with blood. You can even smell a faint smell of blood on this bell.
On the sandalwood, there are also very simple patterns carved. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the patterns are not simple, but extremely mysterious runes. These runes seem to be carved on the clock in a disorderly manner, but in fact there are traces to follow, and they are all distributed on the clock according to a rule. Moreover, these runes
are extremely mysterious, as if if you look at them too much, your whole mind will be swallowed up.
The watch cover is made of glass, which has turned yellow. The dial inside is made of gold. But strangely, there is no time on the dial, but it is blank!
On the golden dial are three silver hands. Obviously, in order to distinguish the background color of the dial and the background color of the hands, the person who made this clock used gold and silver for the dial and hands respectively.
The three hands clearly represent the second hand, minute hand and hour hand, but at this moment, all three hands are still, as if the old clock has lost the power of the spring.
But I know that this is not the case, because the hands of a dead clock cannot move easily.
Once it moves, it means the countdown has started. Once the countdown ends and the three hands stop again, the funeral bell will suddenly ring.
Once the funeral bell rings, someone is declared dead!
It is the countdown of life. Once it starts, it cannot be stopped and no one can disobey it!
This is the terrifying part of this artifact.
However, the cost of using this funeral bell is also very high. It seems that one needs to use one's own life as the power support for this funeral bell.
"Why is this funeral bell here? And since the funeral bell appears here, then where is the judge of life and death?"
I turned around suddenly and looked carefully at this City God Temple.
I found that in addition to the clay statue of the City God, there were several clay statues in the City God Temple, which were smaller than the City God. They were probably dedicated to the underworld.
However, these clay statues were also broken, and there was nothing else in the entire City God Temple.
"Could it be that... the Judge of Life and Death has met with an accident?" I frowned secretly, and then suddenly remembered a sentence that the City God said before his soul completely disappeared.
"What did he mean by I'm late? Could it be that the underworld has really undergone huge changes and may have been destroyed? But how is this possible!"
There are countless ghost kings in the underworld, and countless ghost generals. The ghost immortals are not the strongest here. Above them, there are ghost marshals and even the Ten Courts of Hell.
Moreover, all my ancestors who are descended from the underworld are employed in the underworld, and their positions are definitely very high. I even suspect that some of them may have become members of the Ten Palaces of Hell.
Such a powerful combat force, countless ghost kings, ghost immortals, and ghost generals, such a luxurious lineup, can be destroyed?
How strong are the invaders?
Moreover, what is the purpose of attacking the underworld?
Seize the Book of Life and Death and remove yourself?
Or... want to compete for the reincarnation authority held by the underworld?
Countless thoughts came to my mind, and my head began to ache. But then I shook my head and muttered, "No wonder these fierce ghosts dare not approach here. With this funeral bell, let alone these ants, even the guy who controls these ants behind the scenes would not dare to set foot here easily. After all, once that guy sets foot here, the hands of the funeral bell will suddenly move. No matter who that guy is, he will probably die!"
The way the funeral bell kills people is more like a curse than a sentence of death.
A curse that allows you to clearly see the time of your own death!
This curse is engraved into the three souls and seven spirits. Unless you have achieved enough crushing in Taoism, it is very difficult to get rid of this curse.
At least, I can't do it now. I think that no one in the whole world can do it.
Of course, I don't know whether the old Tianshi and my master can do it, but I think that judging from the current level of spiritual energy recovery, even if my master and the old Tianshi are strong, they can only barely reach the third stage at most, and their strength is limited.
And it is very difficult to get rid of this curse in the early stage of the third stage, because this curse comes from a divine artifact, a divine artifact related to the power of death!
The power of authority is part of the law of heaven, and it is not so easy to get rid of.
“This funeral bell suits you very well.” The Dragon Soul suddenly spoke, and said, “And I can sense that this funeral bell has not recognized its master. Although it is controlled by the Judge of Life and Death, the Judge of Life and Death is not its real master and cannot exert all its magical powers. And you, as a living ghost who holds the power of death, are absolutely a perfect match for this funeral bell!”
“I’m curious, how is the power of death inherited? My master is also a living ghost, does he also hold the power of death?” I suddenly asked.
"That's right. However, this means that the power of death that you hold is incomplete. All of you ancestors who follow the lineage of the Yin people also hold the power of death. It can be said that all of you who follow the lineage of the Yin people are sharing the power of death. No, sharing is not accurate. It should be said... sharing!"
"Share?" I frowned slightly. It's like a piece of cake. If one person eats it, he can be full, but if a group of people share it, they can only fill their stomachs.
"That's right. However, the power of death can be voluntarily given up. Of course, this requires paying a certain price. But I think that when the time comes, all of you ancestors who are descendants of the Yin people will give up all your powers for the sake of the overall situation, allowing you to truly master the complete power of death!"
I shook my head and did not continue discussing this issue. Instead, I suddenly turned my head and looked at another corner of the City God Temple.
Because just at that moment, I suddenly saw a green light flashing in the corner.
I walked over to take a look, and then I found that in the corner, there was a Yinchai Order abandoned here.
"The Yinchai Order was abandoned here, so does it mean... the owner of this Yinchai Order has died?"
I frowned and put the Yinchai Order away.
But just when I picked up the Yinchai Order, suddenly, I heard a "tick-tick-tick" sound, and that was... the sound of the clock's hands turning.
I turned my head suddenly, and immediately saw that the second hand of the funeral clock was indeed moving, and the time scale appeared on the empty gold dial before, and the time scale was not the ordinary hours and minutes, but was calculated by hours.
For example, the ugly hour, the Mao hour and so on.
"Why was the funeral clock suddenly triggered?" I was shocked.
But the next second, something even more shocking happened.
I saw that not far from the second hand, there was suddenly a bloodstain, and the bloodstain was in a straight line, as if it was a mark.
After just a few seconds, the second hand reached the mark, and then, it stopped!
Then...
'Dangdangdang...'
The mysterious and distant bell sounded suddenly in this gloomy and weird underworld, and the sound lasted for a long time and echoed for a long time!
The bell of death... rang!
But, for whom is this death ringing?
