Shengjing Noble

Chapter 586 I understand

Moreover, it showed very sharp teeth, which made people shudder just by looking at them.

Su Lanyin shouted: "Throw it back!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Ah Hai immediately loosened the rope, and the mouse and the fish fell back into the water together.

Within a few seconds, a rat skeleton floated up.

"What a horrible fish!"

Su Lanyin said: "This should be the carnivorous fish recorded in ancient books. They have sharp teeth and are bloodthirsty. Moreover, they live in groups. There must be tens of thousands of them hidden in this water."

Ah Hai took several steps back, holding his chest in shock, his eyes full of fear.

"If I had really gone into the water just now, I'm afraid that what would float up now would be my bones!"

Just thinking about it made his legs tremble.

"Luckily you stopped me! Ah Xing, you are my savior, wuwuwu..."

Su Lanyin comforted him: "When you encounter unknown things in the future, you must be vigilant."

"I see! So how do we get there now?"

"Let's look for another mechanism."

"okay!"

The two of them fumbled around the door for a long time but couldn't find anything strange.

Su Lanyin suddenly remembered something. She held the night pearl and walked to the corner to examine the murals on the wall.

Ah Hai came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Perhaps the clues to the mechanism are hidden in these murals."

"Really? Then I'd like to take a closer look!"

The two of them walked around the edge and examined the murals on the wall bit by bit. The more they looked, the colder their backs felt.

"Why are these paintings so scary?" Ah Hai rubbed his arms and followed Su Lanyin closely, fearing that he would be left alone.

It’s not that he is timid, it’s just that these murals are too bloody and terrifying.

Even Su Lanyin felt a chill.

The murals are filled with various torture and killing rituals.

Some were turned into human pigs, some were torn apart by five horses, some were burnt by fire, some were slow slicing, and some were even skinned and had their tendons pulled out.

Without exception, all the victims were women.

They were all thrown into a huge cauldron, which was then filled with sea water and cooked over a fire.

Finally, it was fished out and thrown into a black river.

There were countless fish emitting golden light inside, which ate all the corpses.

Ah Hai said, "Why does this black river look so much like the river in the last corridor? Also, this tripod looks familiar... Wait, isn't that the big tripod?"

He pointed at the big cauldron in the center in astonishment, and his scalp felt tingling.

It is hard to imagine that this cauldron, which had been silent for many years, was once filled with corpses...

When he thought of this, Ah Hai couldn't help but dry heave.

Su Lanyin said: "It seems that the builder of this underground palace once used this tripod to hold a very cruel sacrifice."

"But why did he do that?"

"It should be for some benefit."

"What could it be?"

"It's either money or power. Obviously he has both of them, so there is only one left, and that is immortality."

Throughout the ages, some emperors have always become more and more demonic in their pursuit of immortality.

Therefore, Su Lanyin guessed that this sacrificial ceremony was probably related to longevity.

But why did he think that by cruelly torturing a beautiful girl to death, cooking her and feeding her to carnivorous fish, he could gain immortality?

Ah Hai heard this and shook his head: "I don't think so."

"why?"

“Look at this picture.”

He pointed to the last painting and said, "If the emperor wanted to seek immortality, he should kneel before the sky. But look at him, he is kneeling by the sea. It is obvious that he wants to kneel to something in the sea."

Su Lanyin looked at it carefully and found that the painting looked familiar.

"correct!"

She suddenly remembered something and pulled Ah Hai towards the second passage, using the night pearl to illuminate the first mural and went all the way to the last one, the mural with Yuan Longyan.

“These seem to be connected!”

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true! The painting outside just now was of the emperor kneeling down to worship the sea, and then at the beginning of this passage, he was sailing out to sea on a big ship, and he scattered things into the sea along the way."

Su Lanyin pointed to the last mural and said, "Finally, they arrived at Yuanlongyan!"

"Yes! The boat is right here!"

Ah Hai pointed at a small dark shadow in the corner.

In order to highlight the huge size of Yuanlongyan, the boat is drawn as a very small dot in this painting.

"In other words, they are worshipping Yuan Longyan? And those girls are their tools for worship?"

"I think the mural in the last passage must have the answer."

"I know where the mechanism is!"

"where is it?"

"follow me!"

Su Lanyin took Ah Hai to the large cauldron in the center and said to him, "You go to the opposite side and push the left leg, and I will push the left side here."

"Ah? Can the two of us push such a big tripod?"

"Give it a try!"

"Ok."

The two of them worked together, and sure enough, the huge tripod really moved and returned to its original position.

"I just found it very strange that this tripod was placed in the middle but its position was a little crooked."

"It's really a mechanism."

Just as he finished speaking, a sound came from the third corridor.

The two of them immediately ran over to check, and saw stone slabs rising from the bottom of the black river.

"As expected, let's go in!"

"it is good!"

"Remember, be careful about everything!"

"understand!"

Su Lanyin walked in, and Ah Hai followed closely behind her. The two of them held the night pearls and went to look at the murals on the wall.

As they expected, the contents here were all connected with those in the second channel.

After the emperor completed the sacrifice, he knelt down and worshipped the sea, and then went to Yuanlongyan.

A mermaid's body was carried out from somewhere and was about to be thrown into the Yuanlongyan when suddenly lightning and thunder flashed in the sky, followed by a sudden downpour of violent storms.

They didn't even bother to throw away the mermaid, and quickly turned the boat around and fled.

Fortunately, the ship was large, the sails were sturdy, and there was sufficient manpower, so they finally managed to escape successfully.

However, the emperor fell ill when he returned to the palace.

In the last painting, he was lying on a hospital bed with a face full of pain, his body covered with red marks like fish scales. Beside the bed, there were people kneeling on the ground, some with their heads down crying, and some crying loudly.

Seeing here, there are no murals in front of you, only a big door.

Su Lanyin said: "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Ah Hai was confused.

"It's still speculation, but I think it's pretty close. I think the real answer is behind this door."

"Huh? What on earth is that?"

"You'll find out once you get in!"

After saying that, Su Lanyin pushed the door. This time, it was not as difficult to open as before, and there was no mechanism. The door opened easily.
