Chapter 233 The Palace of the Netherworld
But different from the witch wraiths who were wearing wet clothes and covered with black muddy liquid before, the witch who opened the door to kill was very neat and tidy, not only the maid uniform was meticulous, She even wore an outer single haori, with a silver headdress on her head, as if she was a priestess of ceremonies who was about to participate in the grand ceremony, giving people a very solemn feeling.
But it still can't change the fact that she is a wraith and is attacking people!
Therefore, Yue'er, Ayukawa, Qin and Qing didn't hesitate at all, and after a beating, the witch in costume was suppressed and became a member of the spirit material in the demon refining pot.
"Let's go." Qin Heqing, who was more and more satisfied with the harvest of the trip, took the lead.
The others didn't object and stepped forward.
Then the door on the second floor was pushed open, revealing the main hall of the main hall, which looks like a sacrificial hall or a sacrificial hall!
A long black wooden table is placed in the center of the room, and the two sides, the back, and even the ceiling of the entire hall are hung with bright candle lanterns, one after the other, making the entire hall seem to be illuminated by the setting sun, exuding a bright dim light. shine.
"Search to see if there is a way leading to other rooms." Qin Heqing walked to the desk, glanced at the items placed on it, and turned to Yue'er and Ayukawa.
"kindness."
Then the two dispersed and went to the left and right of the lobby...
"There are so many lanterns, and the wicks of candles are used. How did they burn until now without anyone maintaining them?" Qin Heqing turned around, looked up at the first person, and looked around, as if seeing You Zhi for the first time. Fang Xili said that Gong Zhenrong didn't come here.
"Probably, there is some mysterious power maintaining it..." Fang Xili withdrew her gaze, looked at Qin Heqing and said with a somewhat uncertain expression.
After all, priests and shikigami have already appeared, why can't there be more mysterious powers in Higami Mountain?
Otherwise, what happened to those wraiths?
Is it true that ghosts are so easy to form?
Hearing this, Qin Heqing smiled noncommittally, turned to look at Yue'er and Ayukawa——
"I have a door here." Yue'er replied.
"I also have a door here, and there is also a ladder leading to the basement." Ayukawa also said immediately.
"Then go underground first!" Qin Heqing immediately decided.
Compared with the upper floors, which are less likely to hide people, the underground looks more like a place where the mastermind hides behind the scenes, and a place where secrets are hidden.
"Also, Ayukawa, you stay here, in case there is something really up there, and then sneak away while we are investigating below." Qin Heqing ordered again as he walked towards Ayukawa.
"OK."
Then Qin Heqing didn't say any more, and took Yue'er who was coming every now and then, and Fang Xili who was hanging the oil bottle, and went to the underground of the Palace of You.
"Where did the water come from?" Yue'er asked unexpectedly as the water gradually came into view and submerged the ground with a shallow layer.
"Mountain torrent?" Qin Heqing guessed.
"It can't be a mountain torrent, the water is too clear." Yue'er retorted.
Of course, the most important thing is that she didn't feel the unique residual sediment and sundries in the water after the flash flood, so it can basically be ruled out that the accumulated water is the product of the flash flood.
"Then what are you talking about? Could it be groundwater?" Qin Heqing guessed again.
"Maybe it really is groundwater." Yue'er nodded in agreement.
"Impossible? This is a mountain!" Qin Heqing said in astonishment.
"Well, there is actually a lake at the top of the mountain." At the same time, Fang Xili interjected weakly.
Also joined the discussion.
Otherwise, three people walking together and only two of them talking will make her feel too redundant and make her feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's not right. Doesn't the potential energy difference exist?"
"..."
And just in such nonsense, the two people and the elf walked the stairs, came to the passage completely covered by wooden boards, and found a strange room filled with long wooden coffins.
The coffins are randomly placed inside, some are closed, some are opened, combined with the current place and atmosphere, it gives people a weird and gloomy feeling...
But fortunately, none of the people present were ordinary people - a priest, a shikigami, a person who has been seeing ghosts every day for the past six months and almost drove him crazy, but in the end he became crazy and calmed down, and he was able to face all kinds of ghosts calmly. Because of the psychic ability, none of the three of them took the scene in front of them to heart. After a simple inspection, they took another step and continued to move towards the depths of the underground palace.
So soon, the three of them came to the deepest part of the underground palace - a palace with a strange sacrificial platform.
The ground was still covered with knee-high clear water, but it stopped just right under the stone sacrificial platform, so that the water would not touch the strange black box placed on the platform!
The whole body is made of solid wood, and the corners are wrapped with copper sheets, which makes the whole box look like the box used to store treasures in ancient big families, and it looks quite thick and precious.
In addition to the relatively large size.
There are also vertical stands on the left, right and right behind of the platform, which are full of lanterns, but I don’t know if it’s because of maintenance or intentionally, or because of the influence of water, they are not all lit up like the main hall. Don't bother to take a second look after one look.
"Miss Fang, do you know what this is?" Qin Heqing carefully observed the black box in front of him for a while, then turned his head and asked Fang Xili who was not coming.
"I don't know." Fang Xili shook her head when she didn't come.
"What about you?" Qin Heqing turned his head and asked Chao Yue'er again.
"I don't know." Yue'er also shook her head and said, "But what is certain is that this should not be an ordinary thing."
"En." Qin Heqing agreed.
He is not blind, so he can see the obvious spiritual light of spirit formation.
"Then, open it?" Qin Heqing pondered for a moment, then suggested with some excitement.
"Yes." Yue'er thought for a while, and she, who was also curious about the things in front of her eyes, did not object, and nodded in agreement.
Then Qin and Qing didn't need to say much, walked to the front of the box by themselves, used the floating spell to make themselves fly, and then formed seals with both hands, using the nine-character mantra as the core to release a special secret method to break the enchantment technique, and moved forward Pushing, blasting the spell on the lock of the box.
"open!"
In an instant, a dazzling aura bloomed, and the barrier on the black box dissipated quickly like that radiance.
Then Yue'er let go and withdrew, letting Qin Heqing, a fellow with long arms, step forward to open the box.
"Squeak..."
The box opened, and a cold aura diffused from the box.
Then a large amount of black air emerged, and the wraith of a female priestess covered in black liquid flew out of it, hovering and rushing, and attacked Qin Heqing in front of her.
Another one came to die.
