Chapter 174: Wall engraving

Ji Wenhui had previously translated the "Soul-Suppressing the Soul-Suppressing the Poem". Although due to the tight time, she could not decipher the entire document, she at least remembered some ancient Yi characters. The word "Yangsheng" is quite common in "Soul-Suppressing the Poem". It was still as expected that she could read the words "Yangshengchi" casually at this time.

After listening to her reading, we all remained silent and stared at the pit in front of us and were secretly ecstatic. This word is very simple and easy to understand, and there is no need for us to discuss it. The so-called immortality pool should be a meaning. You can't jump into it and take a bath to gain eternal life, right?

However, why is this big pit a bright red color? Is the stone here special? Or is there any other bizarre allusions? However, if you just look at the surface color of the pit wall and the special background of this Devil City, it is not difficult to remind people of something - blood.

My bearded man and I squatted down at the same time, put our eyes close to the wall of the pit and looked carefully. We found that there was indeed another color under the dark red skin. After we took off the layer of substance similar to blood scabs, we would reveal the dark gray color of the rocks, which was exactly in line with the surrounding mountain walls.

The bearded man dripped some saliva and slowly rubbed a blood scab on his fingertips, then put his fingers in front of his nose and smelled it a few times. Then he frowned and said to me with a serious expression: "It's blood."

I had roughly expected this result, which means that the deep pit in front of me was originally a huge blood pool, which was always filled with bright red blood. In this way, for the blood demon clan, this is naturally an absolute pool of immortality.

The group looked at the huge pit and said nothing. Everyone was secretly wondering. If such a huge artificial container was to be filled with blood, how many people would it take to fill it? Thousands, tens of thousands, or even... hundreds of thousands?

The owner of this place is probably the mysterious and extremely mysterious King Jiulong. Who is he? Why did he become a cliché with so many blood demons? He ordered his men to build this terrifying blood pool. According to legend, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty once said that the wine pool and meat forest were the large blood pool filled with human blood. However, the huge blood pool in front of him was far larger than the wine pool I imagined. Could it be that King Jiulong himself was the leader of the blood demon? He was even more cruel and cruel than King Zhou. For the sake of his own and his ministers' desire to drink blood, he did not hesitate to kill thousands of people among the people to achieve the fruit of immortality he pursued?

However, where does this person's corpse remain? Logically speaking, he should have been sleeping in the main coffin of the tomb chamber forever. However, there was no one in the sarcophagus. Apart from the strange mechanism, there was no trace of someone lying inside, as if the person in the coffin had never entered the coffin. The sarcophagus was just a decoration or a suspicion array, and was not set up to accommodate the dead.

Could it be that he has achieved eternal life? He is still alive until now? Then why have he never seen this person since he came here? Is he still hiding in the dark? Or has he left here many years ago? Or... his corpse is actually buried in the remains of thousands of blood demons?

Looking back, what is the strange sarcophagus used? Why is the switch that opens the secret door hidden in that sarcophagus? Where is the stone door opened just now? Are the remaining stone door switches also hidden in the sarcophagus?

The more critical question is, where did Gao Lin go? Why didn’t she be in this cave?

Staring at this huge pool of blood, a series of questions came one after another. My mind was immediately messy, as if I could see the truth of the problem vaguely, but when I thought about it carefully, I was like an ignorant child. I had no idea about this mysterious place and could not find a tiny opportunity to solve the puzzle.

At this moment, the bearded man suddenly became nervous. He suddenly clenched the hammer in his hand, and then shouted in a low voice like lightning: "Come here, there is danger!"

I immediately felt nervous and looked around, but I didn't notice any abnormality, and I didn't even hear any strange sounds. But I didn't dare to be so loud. While quickly approaching the bearded man, I lowered my voice and asked him in a low voice: "What have you found?"

The bearded man was not in a hurry to answer, but raised his nose and sniffed in the air for a few times, then whispered to me and said: "The fragrance of the blood demon is exactly the same as the kind I smelled when I just entered the hole. It is very thick, and it should be near us."

I knew that the bearded man was particularly sensitive to the fragrance of the blood demon. Since he was so sure, it was enough to show that there must be blood demons lurking around us. So I quickly took out several cold fireworks and handed them to other people's hands. After lit them, I threw them in different directions at the same time to avoid falling into a difficult-to-find dead corner.

Due to the different arm strengths of several people, the cold fireworks thrown out are also different from each other. The bearded man has the strongest leash, and the cold fireworks thrown out are naturally the farthest. I saw the two cold fireworks flying to the opposite shore of the blood pool, hitting the mountain wall at the end and then landing down.

With the blazing white light emitted by the cold fireworks, we stared at each other, but we saw a dead mountain wall, and we did not find any abnormality. We looked down at the pool and found a deep hole in the center of the blood pool, which happened to be at the bottom of the entire blood pool. The diameter of the big hole was about one meter, and it was pitch black and deep inside, and we didn't know what strange thing was hidden in it.

Just as everyone was confused, Ji Wenhui suddenly pointed to the distance and said "Huh". We looked in the direction of her fingers and saw that there was a little strangeness on the mountain walls on the opposite bank, as if there were strange words written.

For us, what we need most now is text and documents. Only in this way can we understand the real answer to the Devil City. The text on this wall comes too timely and we must record it no matter what. Even if it cannot be solved in a short time, it is much better to take it back and study it slowly than to guess and think randomly now.

So I asked the bearded man to follow me to go down to the center of the blood pool to find out. If there is no danger here, I asked Ji Wenhui to go over and see if the words can be translated.

After going to the bottom of the pit, the bearded man and I slowly approached the deep hole carefully. When we walked closer, we found that the depth of the black hole was quite considerable, and we could not see the bottom at all because of visual observation. Fortunately, we did not find any signs of life, only a wave of cold wind with a fishy smell gushed out.

I took out another cold fireworks and threw them down the entrance of the cave. I saw that the cold fireworks slowly fell in the strong wind. When they fell to a seven or eight-meter-meter position, they gently touched the wall of the cave with a "bang" sound, and then rolled out to the next position. They disappeared in a short while.

I know that this is due to the effect of a huge arc in the hole. In this way, the length of this deep hole should be far beyond our thoughts, and I don’t know where the final end will lead.

Looking at this suspicious deep hole, I was puzzled. Why is such a deep cave located at the bottom of a pool? In that case, wouldn’t it mean that all the water storage will be lost? Could it be that the reason why the blood pool dried up is because of this bottomless black hole?

Both the bearded man and I knew very well that we should never go down into the cave to find out the truth. If there are blood demons or some strange creatures lurking inside, the width of the cave cannot accommodate two people in the process. In that case, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us.

So I asked the bearded man to guard the entrance of the cave. If something came out, no matter whether it was a human or a ghost, I would give him a hammer first. Then I called Ji Wenhui to come over quickly and see if the text on the stone wall on the other side could be translated.

When I led Ji Wenhui to the nearest place, I found that the words on the wall were all ancient Yi languages, and it would be impossible to decipher them in a short period of time.

When I was disappointed, I found that the words were written in a dense range of tens of thousands of words, all of which were carved on the wall with sharp metal. Each stroke was deeply embedded in stone, and the carving force was very strong. But these words always seemed a bit strange, with rough and crooked strokes, without neatness, neither title nor signature, and it was completely different from the careful homework of a carving craftsman, but it was like someone writing it in a hurry.

Time is tight, so I didn't even have time to let Ji Wenhui study it slowly, so I asked her to use the camera to take all these words and then systematically decipher them after she went back.

Ji Wenhui also felt that this method was the only way to do it, so she took out the camera, turned on the flash, and took a picture at the wall.

Looking at the words on the wall, I suddenly remembered something. I took the photo and asked what was written on the stone tablet in the center of the house when she had just entered the dark room above?

Ji Wenhui said that the text is equivalent to a warning or advice. The general meaning is that although the residents in the city have supernatural powers that surpass ordinary people, they are kind-hearted and always remain uncontested. Behind that dark room is the important part of the city. If you are not invited, do not break around at will, so as not to cause any disaster. Remember, remember.

I sneered secretly, saying that these blood monsters are nice to say, and they are kind-hearted and uncontact with the world. It is simply nonsense. If you want to eat and drink blood, you may not have any vicious things in this world. It is really a pity that they can say it out loud, and they even shamelessly erected a monument.

While telling me, Ji Wenhui kept pressing the shutter. At this moment, when the camera in her hand flashed violently, I suddenly found a human-shaped shadow appeared on the mountain wall, appearing and disappearing with the continuous flash of the flash. I immediately realized that someone was behind me, so I quickly pulled out the dagger and turned around, blocking Ji Wenhui behind me.
