v1 Chapter 240: paper man

"What's ahead?" Haruko asked.

"It's a building, it's a town."

"I also saw... the pyramid?"

"Yes, let's go down and see."

"Go down? It's so high here, how do we go down?"

Zhao Zhu patted the glove in his palm and said, "This glove has enough adsorption force, you and I should keep a closer distance, and we will help each other to protect each other. Although it is relatively high here, as long as our hands and feet are quicker, we should be able to Go down for breakfast."

From leaving the camp at night to now, although I haven't seen the location of the axis of the earth, or even whether the axis of the earth really exists, it is still unclear, but it is almost the early morning. Of course, the underground world under the crack, Basically, there is not much light. The reason why the shadow of the town in the distance can be seen is that the rocks above that area seem to emit a light green light because of the different materials.

When going down the cliff, neither Zhao Zhu nor Qingzi dared to be careless. On the one hand, if he misses and falls, it is a very dangerous thing if his mental power cannot detect the surrounding situation. On the other hand, at the beginning, Han Ying How he died, Zhao Zhu still does not understand, so maybe in the darkness, or above or below, there is a pair of eagle-like eyes peeping at this place.

"Be careful." Zhao Zhu said to Haruko.

"Well, Zhao Jun, you too."

About half an hour later, Zhao Zhu finally saw the ground, and he and Haruko finally came down from the cliff.

Without taking a rest, the two took out food and drink from their backpacks, and continued to walk forward while replenishing food and water. The shadow of the town in front was getting closer and closer, especially the Egyptian one. Pyramid, more and more magnificent.

This is the bottom of the big crack, but there is a pyramid standing... It's incredible.

"Zhao Jun, is that the city gate?" Haruko asked, pointing to the shadow ahead.

"This is... a castle."

Zhao Zhu was a little speechless. This castle and Zhao Zhu have seen it in film and television works and some ancient European buildings that are now preserved. It is a style that does not belong to Egypt or China.

Oracle, Phoenician. Pyramids, castles, so many things of civilization have appeared here, can it be said that the ancestors of thousands of years ago. Already found this place?

At that time, it was much older than the Qin Dynasty. At least, in Xu Fu's time, he did not find any information about the ancestors and the axis of the earth.

Zhao Zhu has a growing sense of heaviness. Here, there may be a gap in historical records, a mysterious place hidden in the long river of history.

And yourself, will be the witness of this hidden history.

"Woooooooooooo..."

A loud horn sounded, and it sounded from the castle. Bringing a chilling atmosphere and oppression!

Immediately afterwards, the door below the castle was raised, and a group of knights rushed out from inside.

"This is not a real person, this is a soul imprint, let's go, let's move on, don't touch their breath, just avoid their breath, treat them as non-existent, and they don't exist at all."

Zhao Zhu said to Haruko as he took Haruko's hand and walked forward. Zhao Zhu once encountered this situation in Xu Fu's cemetery. At that time, the city gate was also wide open, and a group of ghosts came out as if they were in front of him. After that, Zhao Zhu failed to resist this kind of mental oppression and shock, and his spiritual consciousness was wrapped up in the dream world of those ghosts. Fortunately, I met Xu Fu at that time, and it was a blessing in disguise.

When the group of knights rushed past Zhao Zhu and Qingzi, Zhao Zhu and Qingzi clenched their hands tightly and did not evade. Just let them rush through their bodies like shadows, as if they were walking past the big screen while a movie was being played.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhu and Qingzi walked into the castle.

The gate of the castle, after the two entered, slowly closed again, as if there was a mysterious force controlling everything.

The main color here is black, there is light, but it is rare. Occasionally, some stones will shine, bringing a little bit of lighting, but it looks even more strange. Walking in between, Zhao Zhu can clearly feel the surrounding The house is empty, no one lives, and all around, except for the previous horn, is deadly silent.

It seems that he is walking in a tomb, and this tomb has existed for an unknown number of years.

However, Zhao Zhu soon discovered something was wrong, because there was a room with light in it!

Yes, firelight!

Fresh fire!

Zhao Zhu and Qingzi leaned over to the house. The fire was coming from the window. The window was made of paper, but it was very strong. After so many years, the houses and structures here still seem to have just been built and have not been used for a long time. Same, not at all like a building that has been around for so many years.

When Zhao Zhu opened the door, he found a person lying on the table, no longer breathing, apparently dead.

Zhao Zhu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and groped on the man, but couldn't find anything to prove his identity, but looking at the clothes and dressing, he was a modern person, and he was an East Asian face.

It shouldn't be Japanese or Korean, because even if these two countries want to reach out and try their luck, they should send their own special troops, but the dead man was wearing a pair of jeans and a navy blue jacket. , This outfit should look like the people in the group, because only the team organized in the group will feel that they are strong, so they are too confident, and they will act directly without packing up and unifying their equipment.

After checking the dead people first, Zhao Zhucai began to look around and found that the daily necessities around him were all available. Of course, it was not household appliances, but the utensils needed for the life of the ancients. Even in some clay pots, there were stored food. , it is still fresh, but I don't know how many years it has been stored, and the home is also very clean and tidy, with no dust at all.

When Zhao Zhu was about to leave the house, the light of the fire suddenly flickered.

Zhao Zhu stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at the candle. The candle should also be an object that originally existed in the house. However, it is very likely that the group of people who came in later lit it. Sleep on the table. After that, he didn't wake up and died. His companions may have left here.

This means that someone is one step ahead of Zhao Zhu. They have already fallen behind, so even if no one from other forces will look at the clouds and distinguish qi, they probably have their own special methods to achieve the same effect.

Candles are still burning. But under Zhao Zhu's gaze, she seemed to be a shy woman, becoming more and more embarrassed. As if to show it completely for real.

The mutation occurred at this time, and the flames suddenly rose. It turned into a fire snake and rushed directly to Zhao Zhu's eyebrows. It was a bit like the eruption of a flamethrower, but Zhao Zhu was already prepared. Fifty water attribute cards woven a barrier in front of Zhao Zhu. .

With a crisp sound, the fire snake was hit by a counter-attack and completely disintegrated. The candle was completely extinguished at this time, and the room suddenly became extremely dark, however. Zhao Zhu and Qingzi could see that in a corner of the room, there was a woman wearing a white mask, standing there. looked at them coldly.

"This is not the place where you should come. Here, it should always be peaceful!"

The voice of the masked woman was very strange, because in Zhao Zhu's ears, it sounded like the voice of his mother Wu Xiuya. In Haruko's ears, it sounded like the voice of his younger brother Xu Ao.

At the same time, the figure of the masked woman took a step back, completely submerged into the wall, and disappeared without a trace. Even if Zhao Zhu wanted to make a move before, it was too late, because the other party was not a human, and he did not seem to be a ghost. It was also a kind of spirit. Brand, but the way this brand is carried is a little different.

"Interesting, there is still a guardian force here to defend this place. This guy should be an unlucky person." Zhao Zhu took a deep breath and left the house with Haruko again.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of suona outside. Then, Zhao Zhu saw a group of people walking in the distance. The walking posture of this group of people was very strange, a little uncoordinated and stiff. It felt a little tight, but quickly , Zhao Zhu realized what a group of people it was, it was a paper man!

"Go back and enter the room!" Zhao Zhu Lima grabbed Haruko's hand and returned to the room he had just entered.

"Zhao Jun, this is this?" Haruko was a little unclear. Although she was a Daoist descendant, her experience was indeed lacking, and she was not as experienced as Zhao Zhu.

"This is to collect the corpse. This is the invisible talisman paper, which is attached to your forehead, calmly and calmly, and don't be discovered by those things. This talisman paper is used to cover the exploration of ghosts."

Haruko put the talisman paper on her forehead, and then began to meditate.

Afterwards, the door was opened from the outside, and a group of people came in. As they got closer, they could see clearly. It was a group of paper people with thick rouge on their faces, which looked very strange, but at this time they were His behavior was even more bizarre. Four paper figures, each with one hand or one leg, lifted the dead man who was lying on the table before out of the room.

Then, there was a paper man in a blue robe, who seemed to have found something and walked towards Zhao Zhu. He stood in front of Zhao Zhu and Zhao Zhu. He changed into an inexplicable expression of contemplation, bringing a strange and terrifying aura, but in the end, he turned around and left the room, and at the same time, the door was closed.

Zhao Zhu and Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief and took off the talisman paper from their foreheads.

"Brother Zhao, what is that?"

"There is a legend that it is about the origin of the ancient Chinese custom of burning paper figurines. It is said that at the very beginning, King Yama first made a paper figurine and came to help him go to the realm to deal with things. Later, people in the realm found out that every household had someone in their own home. When they passed away, they burned the paper figurines. They believed that the paper figurines had the ability to travel through Yin and Yang, and gave him a message to the Lord of Hell, so that he could do well, and let their relatives suffer less underground~lightnovelpub.net~ reincarnate early. And now people burn paper and people burn cars to serve the dead underground, which is a custom that evolved later, and it has long been irrelevant to the earlier version."

"Zhao Jun, do you mean that the group of paper figurines were sent by the King of Hell?"

"I don't know. But, we are underground right now. Haruko, we have to prepare ourselves mentally. As we get closer to the axis of the earth, the things we will face will become even more bizarre. And incredible, even with our strength, if we are not careful, we may capsize in the gutter, just like the previous paper figurines, if he finds us, if we destroy all these paper figurines, will it happen? Induce a more terrifying existence?"

"Yes, Zhao Jun, I understand." Haruko nodded, however, her eyes suddenly widened, because Zhao Zhu, who had been standing with him before, now his face gradually became extremely Pale, that expression has become more and more abstract, and it is like a paper man!

"Zhao Jun...you!"

"I... What's wrong with me? Hehehehe...hehehehe..." (To be continued.)(www..)
