Chapter 571 Unimpeded
Lianyi walked forward slowly, with a layer of golden light attached to her hand, and slowly touched the head of a guard. After a minute, she withdrew her hand, her brows furrowed tightly.
Because these four pottery figurines of guards were made by living people.
The owner of the tomb is a prince from thousands of years ago. When he was young, he was the regent and had great power.
But as he grew older, he became more afraid of death and wanted to hold power in his hands for a long time and enjoy the admiration of thousands of people.
Therefore, he began to pursue the art of immortality. There were many liars, and people with real abilities did not bother to be driven by others. The regent could only watch himself slowly aging, and he became more and more anxious.
But the puppet emperor had a bold plan to eradicate the emperor's uncle who was neglecting him.
The emperor found a heretic and preached another method of immortality to his uncle. After his death, he went to the underworld and continued to be the ghost emperor.
The old regent knew that his time was short, so he chose to believe this evil talk and began to build his own mausoleum.
The location of the cemetery was chosen by Xie Dao, and his purpose was very simple, not only to offend the emperor, but also to allow the regent to be used by him.
The method is rather vicious. The cemetery is built in a place where ghosts are raised, so that the regent's soul cannot return to the underworld after his death. Instead, he is trapped here and slowly grows into a powerful ghost king. Then he is driven by evil ways and becomes the trump card in his hand.
In this way, the emperor would be satisfied and the regent would be able to exist for a long time, achieving the goal of immortality.
The plan went very smoothly, the regent spent a lot of money, and despite numerous casualties, the tomb complex was finally built, and it was built according to the houses five houses before him.
To ensure that even if he died, he could continue to enjoy in the underworld, he even killed the craftsmen who built the cemetery in order to keep it secret. The burial pit that Lianyi had just processed was just one of them.
And in order to accumulate enough resentment, the regent listened to the evil talk and used living people to bake pottery figurines for his burial. When he got to the underworld, he also needed people to serve him and enough troops to protect him.
After everything was ready, Xi Dao presided over the burial ceremony on an auspicious day. At this time, the regent was still breathing. It was strange that he wanted to witness his own funeral in person.
This is exactly in line with the requirements of evil ways to raise ghosts. Everything went smoothly. The regent went in alive and was trapped by the evil ways in the core of the place where ghosts were raised. He waited for the other party to become stronger and then let the regent recognize him as the master.
After the evil spirit left, he also hid the entire mountain, fearing that the emperor would find out and ruin his good deeds. When the regent grew up, it would be time for him to reap the rewards.
It's a pity that he never came back here after leaving. With the passage of time and the vicissitudes of the world, the concealment methods arranged by the evil ways also lost their effectiveness, and this mountain forest still reappeared in front of people.
However, due to the existence of the cemetery and the special terrain here, the ghosts inside are still trapped inside and cannot leave.
This time, a few adventurers broke the closed loop formed by the ghost breeding ground, and the entry of the archaeological team disturbed the ghosts inside. After they found that they could leave, they rushed out as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, this year was the time when the sun was closest to the planet, and the sun was at its peak. When they rushed out, they could not adapt to the outside environment, so they could only return to the cemetery, and then wisely chose to leave the cemetery and wander around at night.
After daybreak, they would return to the cemetery to seek shelter.
After Ripple arrived, the ghosts he saw that dared to wander around the camp during the day were all quite capable. In just a few days, these ghosts became more and more adaptable.
If she had come five days later, these things would have completely left this place where ghosts are raised.
The reason why they did not leave was because they had not adapted to the outside environment, and the other reason was that they knew instinctively that staying in the cemetery was good for them.
The four pottery figurines in front of Lianyi were the captains of the escort team in front of the Regent. They were originally just guarding the door and could not get in front of the Regent.
But the regent had spoken, and he wanted to have a gatekeeper in his hell house. The four people were knocked unconscious without any precautions and burned into gatekeepers. They watched their lives passing by with their own eyes. One can imagine how much resentment there is.
Lianyi sighed. She couldn't release the souls of the four people now. It would easily alarm the prince, but if they continued to collide, the Tao that trapped them would be broken.
So Lianyi took out four talismans from the space and waved them into the pottery figurines of the four guards, causing the souls inside to fall into a deep sleep.
Then she stepped into the tomb door behind the four people.
In the blink of an eye after Lianyi stepped into it, the surroundings changed drastically, becoming like a wealthy family's mansion.
A man wearing a servant's uniform walked towards Lianyi respectfully, performed an ancient salute, and then said:
"I wonder if there is something wrong with Miss coming here alone?"
Lianyi glanced at the opponent's pale face, looked at the kid who floated over without legs, and said calmly:
"A few of my friends broke into this place by mistake. My family was worried and sent guards to look for them. But the guards didn't come back either, so I had no choice but to go to the house in person.
I wonder where my friends and guards are? If it's convenient, let me take it away. "
After hearing what Ripple said, the expression on Xiao Gui's face did not change, and he still said respectfully:
"Miss, the villain has indeed seen the people you mentioned, but they broke in without permission, which made the regent very unhappy, so he locked them up.
Those of us who are servants have no right to let people go. "
"Then let your regent know that guests are coming."
Ripple said calmly.
He raised his hand and handed the other party an exquisite name card.
After Xiao Gui accepted it respectfully, he invited Lianyi to wait in the side hall, saying that he would report it himself.
After Lianyi sat in the side hall, a kid dressed as a maid served tea, and it looked like something serious.
But in Ripple's eyes, the plate was full of dark, unknown things, and the tea was a red liquid with an extremely fishy odor. She didn't even touch it.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the little ghost servant floated back again, and then said to the other party Ripple:
"My regent invites the young lady to come and see her."
"Now that you're done, lead the way!"
Ripple stood up and said with a slight smile.
"Miss, please come this way!"
The servant led the way, leading Ripple all the way through the courtyard to the largest and most luxurious house at the end.
The ghost servants I met along the way all bowed very politely, and there were also secretly watching eyes in the dark.
When Ripple entered the splendid hall, he saw the masculine and handsome regent. At this time, he had a charming and beautiful concubine in a red dress in his arms.
"You are so brave, you dare to enter my territory alone."
The Prince Regent held a golden wine glass in his hand, looked at Ripples with appraising eyes, and said bluntly.
"As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger cubs."
