MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 290 underwater dynasty
There is such a well here, and there is a lot of blue ice growing in the well, which is a bit strange.
The reason why Ji Que used the word "long" to describe the ice in the well is that there are many tiny hairs on their surface, which look like the hairs on human skin.
These ices are criss-crossed in the well and look sharp.
At this moment, Ning Hongyu suddenly pointed somewhere.
There is a little bit of firefly light, which is the usual mark of Qingqi Department officials.
The two of them have observed before that there are no other entrances and exits in the surrounding waters, and this well seems to be the only entrance.
So the two were ready to go down the well.
Ji Que jumped down and stepped on an ice pick, which was as light as a feather.
As the well goes down, there is even more space, and the criss-crossing ice cones in the well forced Ji Que and Ning Hongyu to slow down.
Because this ice is really full of ominous hairs.
In this way, the well went forward for about a cup of tea time, and the well came to the bottom.
What is presented in front of you is a series of large holes.
Looking at these big holes, Ji Que could already imagine how the dragon walked through them.
He was inevitably a little nervous about facing this legendary species.
Ning Hongyu quickly discovered the marks left by the Qingqi Department officials.
The algae in this cave were particularly damaged, the cave wall was broken, and there was some disgusting yellow slime.
They couldn't help remembering the dream the emperor had said before, in the dream the old dragon only said that he was itchy, and then the emperor saw eyes growing in its scales.
The hole is badly damaged, maybe it was left by the old dragon when he relieved the itching.
"Huh?"
Ji Que looked at a certain place intently, then spit out a string of air bubbles, rushed back, and directly broke two ice hammers.
This ice hammer is extremely strong, the fine hairs on the surface are like sharp needles, and it will puncture Ji Que's clothes in a blink of an eye. If it is not for the body protection with real energy, it will probably hurt and bleed.
But Ji Que doesn't care about the pain now, because a ferocious grimace suddenly appeared on the surface of his head, and he wanted to bite him.
This ghost face looks very old, the surface is covered with deep wrinkles, the skin is dark and metallic in color, it looks like the face of an old woman has been poured with molten iron, it is very scary.
It grins its mouth open, its teeth are small and sharp, and they are still clenching together, it looks like love is like a guillotine knife.
The reason why it startled Ji Que was because it appeared too abruptly.
The grimace stopped half a foot above the surface of the pier, as if it was stuck and could not go up.
But the visual impact this thing brought to Ji Que hasn't stopped.
When watching horror movies before, Ji Que was most annoyed by this kind of inadvertently scary scenes, combined with the sudden and terrifying sound effects, it always makes people jump.
The gloomy underwater imperial mausoleum, the hairy ice cubes, and the sudden grimace are no longer comparable to ordinary 3D movies.
Ning Hongyu looked indifferent, pulled out the demon knife and tapped the grimace's teeth, and then with a click, the ghost's mouth suddenly bit down, biting lonely.
"Oh, it's quite fierce." Ning Hongyu Ji Que withdrew the knife in time, and then poked the opponent's nostril with the tip of the knife.
For some unknown reason, the grimace kept its eyes closed throughout.
After poking the opponent's nostrils for a while, Ning Hongyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after finding that the grimace didn't allow him to sneeze.
At this moment, I saw that the grimace suddenly raised again, and part of it came out, but the head still didn't come out completely.
It can be seen that the head of this ghost is very long, and the edge of the head is even, but it doesn't look like a ghost, it has a taste of mechanism.
How do you say, the mechanism is alive?
Ji Que was taken aback by this thing again, and couldn't help being a little annoyed, but at this time, this grimace actually opened its eyes directly.
The eyes are blood red, like blood-stained glass balls, embellished with them, making this grimace even more serious.
Seeing this, Ji Que suddenly used a whip kick, and kicked the ghost's face with a bang.
Grimace immediately sank two feet. It was just about to open its mouth to bite Ji Que, but Ji Que's hands fell like lightning and caught its eyeballs.
Gang Qi circulated at Ji Que's fingertips, and with a click, it sank into the grimace's eyeballs.
In just a split second, the eyeballs of the grimace's eyes that had just opened were crushed!
Grimace screamed and shrank back, unwilling to come out again, the water was filled with faint blood.
"It seems more cowardly."
After that, the two continued on the road.
The deeper you went into the hole, the heavier the stench became, and all the aquatic plants in the back were dead.
It can be seen that there is indeed a problem here.
The cave is getting wider and wider at the back, and the sides are lined with statues.
Ji Que and the two walked forward, and found two rows of statues on both sides, all in kneeling positions.
Such a picture is easy to think of the picture of the emperor going to court, but what makes Ji Que feel uncomfortable is that these statues are not only human-like, but also strangely shaped.
"If this is a mausoleum created by three generations of emperors, does that mean that under his command, such things can serve as officials?"
Ji Que looked at a pig-headed man with three pairs of bat wings, and thought.
These grotesque things knelt with people, and their postures looked no different from people, and Ji Que found that these portraits were also blurred, and the five sense organs were combined, but they didn't look like people, and they seemed to be a group with these aliens.
After a while, there was only a click, Ji Que looked down and found a thin layer of ice on the ground.
Like the ice picks in the well before, these ice surfaces also have a layer of fine hairs that look like human hairs.
What came with it was the chill, which seemed to be able to easily penetrate their body-protecting true essence, making them feel cold.
The next moment, the cave came to an end, and a temple based on a water-soluble cave appeared in sight.
Half of the palace is in the water and half is in the cave. The stone gate of the temple is tall and big, even the palace above it is of this size.
There is a painting engraved on the stone gate. The gestures are simple, but it vividly outlines the picture of the emperor going to court.
The picture of facing up on the left door is normal, and there is nothing unusual about the courtiers worshiping.
The picture of facing up on the door on the right is a bit weird. Just like the statue they saw at the entrance of the cave just now, there are not only humans in the hall, but also some strange species.
What surprised Ji Que even more was that the intersecting picture on the left, this painting had a curtain in front of the throne directly above the hall, and the emperor behind the curtain couldn't see his appearance or even his figure clearly.
Ji Que noticed that there were a lot of hairs under the bead curtain, no, it should be called beard?
Is the emperor not a human being?
These two pictures are one on the left and the other on the right. The brush strokes are simple, but they are very vivid. Ji Que even has the illusion that he is a member of the hall.
It’s the picture of facing up, why is there such a distinction?
Could it be that the emperor still divides the day and night shifts when he goes to court? It is normal during the day, but weird at night.
Or the emperor is a human being during the day, but not a human being at night?
Ji Que felt that he was very close and far away from some secrets, as if there was a layer of veil in between, the veil was very thin, but it was difficult to pierce through.
As long as the yarn is not pierced, he cannot see the truth clearly.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu could only continue to enter.
The terrain of this water area for raising dragons is far more complicated than imagined. The emperors of all dynasties raised dragons, but they rarely entered here. This is why Emperor Shengyu knew little about it.
As soon as he entered the door, there was the sound of ice crystals shattering under his feet. It can be seen that these ice crystals overflowed from the door.
The moment they walked through the stone gate, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu stood there without moving for a while, because they saw a somewhat shocking scene.
In the sight of the two, besides water, there is also ice.
The turquoise water, the blue ice, exudes a faint light.
There are several icebergs on the water surface, and there are also many ice edges growing under the water. The previous cold air and ice crystals should overflow from here.
The underwater part of this palace is wider, even if creatures like dragons live in it, it will not feel narrow.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu looked at this seemingly endless underground water area, and felt that it should be quite close to Longju.
According to the emperor, dragons like to live in places with the strongest dragon aura, and the most dense place is near the main tomb.
The palace in the water is as magnificent as the palace on the ground, not as rough as before, and the sculptures here have become much more exquisite.
Jade Bi of Dragon Pillar is silent in the water, as if waiting for the king to wake up.
Ji Que even saw some white bones in the water, some human bones, and some strange beasts?
The first thing Ji Que thought of was those strange sculptures, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
It turns out that those sculptures and murals on the door were not created out of thin air, but from reality?
Looking at the weird skeletons scattered in front of the palace in the water, and some chains beside the skeletons, Ji Que felt that the water was not clean.
These bones are placed here, and there are locks on them, which proves that it was a living burial at that time.
Whether it's people or these strange things, they are all used to be buried with them.
Looking at this scene, Ji Que even thought of the picture of them drowning, their flesh and blood rotting in the water.
The emperor's tomb is always so cruel, even after so many years, Ji Que can still feel its thrilling.
For a while, he felt that the water was a bit dirty, as if the rotten flesh and blood were still floating in it.
As a result, the zhenqi in his body slowly overflowed, and the surrounding air and the accumulated water under his feet suddenly swirled like flowing water, forming a big bubble around him.
Ning Hongyu also used a similar technique.
The two of them jumped straight into the water, and their bodies were in the air bubbles, which were considered to be isolated from the water.
Ji Que stepped on the steps buried deep in the water first as if he was on land.
The steps go up slowly, and at the end is the magnificent underwater palace, and the white skeletons on both sides are those "subjects" who were trapped here alive.
The subjects are here, what about the emperor?
As a result, Ning Hongyu suddenly swam somewhere.
Ji Que hurriedly followed, and found a few people.
They were wearing the clothes of the Qingqi Division, their faces were clear, and the clothes were still new, as if they were the officials of the Qingqi Division who had disappeared after they came down.
Without exception, they floated in the water strangely, all in kneeling positions.
Are they worshiping the dragon inside, or the emperor?
Could it be that the three emperors are still alive? Live in your own mausoleum?
Or is he really not human as painted on that door?
The body of one of the officials of the Qingqi Department was only half left, and the fracture was jagged, as if it had been bitten off by something.
After confirming that these officials were hopeless, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu continued on the road, their expressions becoming more solemn and cautious.
They don't want to repeat the mistakes of these officials.
All the way up to now, the more Ji Que looked at this underwater palace, the more unpleasant it became, even though it was carved very finely.
He only thought it was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell where it was?
After a while, Ji Que realized that it was too fine or too well preserved.
This palace has been in the water for at least thousands of years, and the pattern is not blurred at all, but looks like new.
The palace that has been soaking in water all the time, why didn’t even a little bit of algae get on it?
Could it be that someone is cleaning the water?
Or rather, not human.
Yes, a person cannot live in this water for so long, even if he is a person who swims faster than a fish.
The more they think about it, the more weird they feel. In such waters, it is easy to be intimidating.
People live on land and are naturally afraid of water.
Not only because water can drown people, but also because deep water always represents unknown and fear.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu made a careful gesture, took a deep breath, and floated into the palace on the air bubbles.
The water in the palace is terribly deep, and the light of the sword bracelet on Ji Que's wrist became the only light here.
As soon as he and Ning Hongyu stepped into the palace, they suddenly heard a woman's cry coming from the depths.
For a while, the two felt creepy.
Could this cry belong to the three emperors?
No, the three emperors are not the empresses, are they the maids or concubines who were buried for him?
Who would have thought that there is such a dark and treacherous place under the magnificent palace.
Almost at the same time, both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu noticed some fluctuations in the air bubbles surrounding their bodies.
There's something in the water!
The water fluctuated at this time, and the surroundings were pitch black, even Ning Hongyu couldn't see far.
The blisters that wrapped their bodies were pulling in the water. Although they didn't deform much, it could be seen that there was something swimming around them.
Although the carved dragon pillars in the main hall are magnificent, they look eerie in the water.
The depth of the water is unknown, so the length of these dragon pillars is naturally unknown, as if following them can lead to the nether hell.
The crying of the woman in the distance is not loud, a little ethereal, somewhere between presence and absence, but it adds to the terrifying atmosphere here virtually.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu continued to swim inward, while the fluctuation of the surrounding water did not stop for a moment.
Something is near them.
At this moment, Ji Que suddenly felt movement below him, and couldn't help but look down, and found a ferocious face flashing past his feet.
Even if it was only for a moment, he still saw what it looked like.
It's hard to describe what this face is. Its surface is covered with wrinkles, and the blood-red eyes and short nose are buried in the wrinkles, so that the facial features are very blurred.
Ji Que even saw gills in its lower jaw?
Merman?
