Chapter 50 Zhang Qiling 49
When Fuxi and Nuwa heard this, they were about to cry; such a bizarre story had actually been passed down among humankind.
Qingyue glanced around at the surroundings.
"Look at these instruments of torture and animal limbs. This empty room must be where the Queen Mother of the West performed grafting experiments to see if human and animal bodies could live longer."
Black Glasses: "They even chose to raise snakes based on the climate of Tamutuo. They're trying to turn themselves into Nuwa!"
"what is this?"
Qingyue walked to the other wall, where the mural depicted twisted, crawling women and men, as well as several that had turned into monsters.
Zhang Qiling: "Forbidden Woman".
"Forbidden Woman?" Qingyue tilted her head. "What's that?"
Zhang Qiling: "If you eat the Corpse-Eating Pill, you will turn into a Forbidden Woman."
Qingyue still didn't understand, mainly because she didn't understand what the Forbidden Woman actually looked like.
She had never seen it before, had no definition of it, and the painting differed from her understanding. She didn't understand the interpretation of the mural and could only say that the depiction was inadequate.
Wu Xie explained, "It means you've turned into a monster without a human form. Imagine what a zombie looks like; it's similar to that."
With that explained, Qingyue had a general idea of the location, and that's when she understood.
Black Glasses: "I saw him at the Golmud Sanatorium."
Qingyue: "Were you chasing the Forbidden Woman when you rushed out so quickly last time?"
At the time, she thought they wanted to hurry up and were in a rush, but she didn't expect they were trying to get rid of people.
"Mm." Zhang Qiling nodded.
There were no problems before, and I didn't go into details.
Seeing the mural, Chen Wenjin felt even more anxious: "I don't have time, I need to find a way out quickly!"
She didn't want to become a forbidden woman, didn't want to be like Huo Ling, didn't want to become like the murals on the wall, a thing that was neither human nor ghost.
Aning came to a stone wall: "There are puzzle pieces here."
The group walked over and saw that the puzzle was a human body: a man's head, a woman's head, a man's upper and lower body, a woman's upper and lower body, and the rest were empty.
Wu Xie: "This brick should be movable."
Zhang Qiling reached out and tugged at it: "It can move."
next second.
The sound of moving objects came from around them, and everyone looked over to see that the people around them had moved.
"That Queen Mother of the West is really vicious; she actually has living human servants." Fatty Wang backed away warily.
Wu Xie held the dagger in front of him: "It's truly impossible to defend against."
The standing servants raised their heads and swung their knives at them.
Qingyue kicked one of the servants aside and shouted, "Blind man, you guys deactivate the mechanisms, everyone else get out of the way."
"Good."
Black Glasses began to leisurely ponder the puzzle in front of him.
The others, namely Fatty Wang, Wu Xie, Chen Wenjin, and A Ning, who were discussing things next to Black Glasses, had already consciously moved aside so as not to disturb them.
After Qingyue cleaved a servant with her sword, a dark black snake emerged.
"It's the black-haired snake that's controlling the servants and killing the snakes."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen snatched the sword from the servant's hand and sliced off the servant's armor. A black-haired snake emerged, and Xie Yuchen cleaved it in two with his sword, separating its head from its body.
Zhang Qiling moved with lightning speed, drawing his Black Gold Ancient Blade and starting to fight. Before long, several servants had fallen around him.
This space isn't large, and there aren't as many servants as in the previous place.
"Goodness, thank goodness we didn't linger in that place. If they had all come back to life, I would have been in real trouble."
Fatty Wang patted his chest, still shaken.
Wu Xie, standing beside him, nodded in complete agreement. Given his knack for triggering mechanisms, if they were still in that spot, they might already be surrounded by jade terracotta warriors...
The servants have all been dealt with, and Black Glasses has also figured out the problem.
Turning to Fatty Wang Wuxie, he said, "Go and give me those four samples of animal carcasses soaking in water."
The two men walked up to the table, each carrying two in their arms.
Black Glasses placed the two snake tail specimens under the woman's head in the puzzle, and then placed the centipede's torso under the man's head.
After it was placed, the door automatically lifted up.
The group went inside and walked for about half an hour until they arrived at a reservoir. In the center of the reservoir was a huge stone coffin covered with orange-red vines. Further back, there was a huge iron gate.
Chen Wenjin: "This lake should be the core of the entire palace's water storage."
After going through so much, they're finally almost there.
Black Glasses lit the lighter, reached out and touched the candlestick next to him. The lamp oil here had been damp and hadn't dried, so it was still usable.
"Fatty, go and finish the rest of the orders."
Fatty Wang: "...Why didn't you order together?"
"The blind man must protect Flower Master, you go."
Black Glasses stood right next to Xie Yuchen and slapped Fatty Wang with his hand in disgust.
Fatty Wang, having suffered a slight loss, took out a lighter and lit them one by one. He regretted not bringing the mop along; at least then he'd have someone to order around...
The fire lit up the entire empty room, and they turned off their flashlights to save electricity.
Qingyue frowned: "Don't linger in the water, get through quickly."
The man in black glasses asked, "What's wrong, Sister Qing?"
Qingyue pointed to the red strips swimming at the bottom of the water: "The vines on the stone coffin are a kind of blood-sucking worm. If you don't want to bleed to death, run over there quickly!"
Hear this.
Fatty Wang, who lit the candlesticks, took the lead and stood on the opposite side.
"No wonder my foot hurt a bit, turns out this bug was sucking Fatty's blood!"
Because of the scent on Chen Wenjin's body, the insects didn't approach her, allowing him to pass by easily. At this moment, she was anxiously trying to figure out how to open the door.
one two three.
Wu Xie shouted in his heart, and as soon as the number was reached, he sprinted forward.
Ah Ning followed closely behind, running faster than Wu Xie and arriving at the gate before him.
"Come here quickly!"
Wu Xie had already arrived on the other side and was waving.
Black Glasses and the others exchanged glances. With Qingyue's magic still on their feet, their shoes hadn't gotten completely wet, so preventing this wasn't a problem.
Qingyue reminded him only because she didn't want the junior official to have to put in extra effort to protect them.
They walked over slowly.
When Wang Pangzi shone his flashlight on the stone coffin, he discovered that the vines on it were indeed moving, very subtly. The insects crawling out of the water in the area he had just walked over were even brighter in color.
How much blood did they suck from Fatty?!
Wu Xie, standing in front of the gate, kept watching Zhang Qiling and the others.
"Why are the guys taking such a long time? Don't the bugs suck their blood?"
Fatty Wang guessed, "This young man has Qilin blood, could it be that he used blood again?"
"No, after I ran over, I kept watching them, and the guy never took out his knife."
"That's really strange. Fatty has absorbed quite a bit of energy since he came here."
Fatty Wang patted his belly; this was the food he had painstakingly raised and stored.
No matter how fast they ran, the insects still sucked up a lot of their blood.
