Li Yu raised the withered vine, and a violent force that he could not control was about to move in this ghost town.

The hand holding the withered vine began to tremble, which surprised Li Yu.

In my memory, this has only happened once.

He tried hard to insert the withered vine into the ground, but strangely, the withered vine calmed down and had no reaction at all.

Li Yu curled his lips and cursed in a low voice: "Isn't it right? You're going to lose your temper like this?"

Li Yu pulled out the withered vine, and it began to shake violently.

Li Yu's heart moved, and he knocked out the withered vine. Unexpectedly, it fell straight to the ground, and then withered again.

Li Yu frowned, leaned down and grabbed a handful of soil.

The soil of the palace below is soft and even a little sticky, making it very uncomfortable to hold in your hands.

According to Wang Yin, the Hidden Death Cult from the Western Regions took advantage of the situation and transformed all the people of the ancient Loulan Kingdom into monsters for them to drive, also known as corpse slaves.

The skeletons in this palace should be the so-called corpse slaves.

However, the Hidden Death Sect has been destroyed by Dayun Guangming Temple, but these corpse slaves have become active again. It is very likely that Jia Baoyu came to the ancient country of Loulan where they were buried, and then regained control of these corpses.

The blood pools and skeletons that kept appearing some time ago should also have come out from here.

This is basically the base camp of blood pools and monsters. Jia Baoyu's purpose of ambushing Fang La here can be explained. He is to lure him here.

If he doesn't find a way to break this technique soon, then he, Fang La and a few disciples of the Ming Cult will have to kill the people of Loulan Ancient Kingdom again.

Kill a country...

Don't know how much time it will take.

The situation outside does not allow me to delay too much.

Li Yu sighed, his situation was not optimistic.

Li Yu concealed his aura, made an invisibility trick, and strode into the palace.

The palace looks very big, but after entering, the road is very narrow, but there are many rooms.

There was a small door not far from the side. Li Yu walked slowly towards it. There was a row of lampposts inside, all of which were covered with luminous pearls.

The luxury and luxury of the ancient Loulan country during its prosperity can be seen clearly.

Li Yu entered the small door, and it turned out that there was another corridor, but this one was narrower and had many twists and turns. There were torches at intervals on both sides, and the wall patterns were exquisite and enchanting, depicting endless totems.

This mural has a strong atmosphere of the Western Regions, and you can see the sacrifices and ceremonies of the ancient Loulan country at that time.

Li Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then he realized that the contents on these murals were getting more and more wrong.

At first it was still a normal sacrifice, but after taking a few steps forward, the murals above gradually changed. Among the crowd in front, there was an altar, with a bearded girl in flowing clothes on it, who was probably a saint from the ancient Loulan country.

of.

Li Yu didn't know what kind of religion the ancient Loulan country believed in. It was probably a shaman that was popular on the grasslands at that time, because the grasslands and the Western Regions have always been closely connected.

The woman who was still praying and offering sacrifices was hung on the altar and stripped of her clothes like an animal.

A tall man, holding a knife in his hand, was peeling off her skin bit by bit.

Going further back, the woman's body in the mural has been stripped of all flesh and blood. There are pieces of meat and blood stains everywhere on the altar, and the woman has completely turned into a skeleton, except for her head.

The people below were trembling, and no one dared to step forward. They were all lying on the ground, as if begging for something.

Li Yu secretly shook his head. If you can't get something by force, begging is even more useless.

It will only encourage the perpetrator.

It is better to resist than to wait for death.

Soon, Li Yu understood that at this time, only the old, weak, women and children were left in the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

After they occupied the east-west trade route, they provoked the Han and set up many checkpoints to intercept passing merchants.

The Loulan people, who thought they could have a chance with the big man, gathered all the young men from all over the country and brutally sent a wave of heads.

Finally, when we reached the end of the mural, there was a stone tablet.

The words on the stele were very strange. Li Yu reached out and brushed them, using the six senses of Buddhism to feel the words on the stele.

A clear picture appeared in his mind.

It turns out that the Hidden Death Cult was originally the religion of a small tribe conquered by the ancient Loulan Kingdom. They originally had no conflicts with the world, but they were forcibly conquered by the Loulan people.

At that time, the Loulan people were at their most powerful. They destroyed the tribes of followers of the Hidden Death Cult. Countless women were reduced to prostitutes and were humiliated at will on the streets. The men became slaves, and the old, weak, women and children were raped by them.

Came to a remote desert.

These Hidden Death Cultists who were driven into the desert finally completed their transformation and became stronger and stronger with the support of hatred. On the surface, they were very obedient to the Loulan people and dedicated their most beautiful girls to the Loulan nobles every year.

, no matter how they are humiliated, they always accept it.

Finally, they waited for the opportunity. When Loulan was defeated by the big man, the Hidden Death Cult members fought out of the desert.

They vented the hatred they had suppressed for generations, leaving almost no one alive in the entire ancient Loulan Kingdom.

As if killing people was not enough, they refined the Loulan people into corpse slaves so that they could never be reincarnated for the rest of their lives. They could always abuse them unscrupulously in order to take revenge on the Loulan people.

Li Yu sighed, as expected, racial hatred can only be eliminated by killing one party.

When the mural arrived here, it was destroyed, and the remaining walls were scratched and scratched.

Li Yu walked around the path and suddenly saw a huge square in front of him.

In the center of the square is an altar. Hundreds of years have passed, but there is still a fishy smell here.

Hundreds of years have not erased all this. On the altar, there is a torture rack.

Li Yu looked over, and sure enough, there was a skeleton tied to it. Her face had also rotted, and the broken flesh and hair were attached to her skull.

Li Yu stood on the altar, and suddenly felt a sense of being displaced in time and space. The scene he just saw on the mural seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

His ears spanned hundreds of years and really heard the desperate cries and pleas in the square at that time.

There is also the joy and various emotions after the Hidden Death Cult's revenge, which still pervades the altar.

After understanding the secret buried deep in the ground, Li Yu walked up to the altar and put down the tied bones, then stretched out his hand and burned all the skeletons here.

Faintly, he seemed to hear a sigh of relief.

Beyond the altar was a towering city wall. Li Yu walked to the door and saw something hanging on the city gate.

Li Yu took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a mask with a human face.

The mask looked extremely pale, and the corners of the mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, making it look a bit human.

Li Yu made a move behind him, and the mask flew to his hand.

Li Yu frowned after seeing the true appearance of the mask. The mask was exactly the same as Jia Baoyu's.

This mask is as white as white paper, only covering the bridge of the nose, with two eye holes open. It is lifelike and lifelike. The whole mask is covered with fine lines, as if it is made of many fragments glued together, but from time to time there are traces of unknown origins on it. The incoming electricity is like a green light creeping across, giving people a strange and smooth feeling.

With just one glance, Li Yu knew that this was not an ordinary thing. He put the mask into his Fengyue Treasure Book and prepared to go back and feed Bai Mao's Sky Eye, which was a bottomless pit.

Since Li Yu learned about this, he, like Zuo Ci and others, has become a person who knows how to live a good life, and wants to put away any magic weapon he encounters.

He also finally understood why Zuo Ci and the others had such a bad reputation. You think about collecting magic weapons every day. How can there be so many magic weapons without an owner? You always have to keep an eye on others.

Over time, they have become public enemies in the three realms and the most disliked people.

In fact, once you have cultivated to their level, you don't need many magic weapons, because you only need to have the strongest one and use it smoothly.

Can you temporarily change magic weapons during a fight?

For a big monster like Bai Mao, magic weapons are even more useless.

Li Yu had never seen a big demon that relied on magic weapons to fight against the enemy.

Unless it is a treasure like the Nine-section Staff or the Dinghai Pearl, it can really make a person's strength soar.

After Li Yu put away his mask, he walked into the castle inside the palace. Once inside, the smell of blood did not diminish at all.

The style inside the castle is even more luxurious. Thanks to being buried deep underground, it has been able to escape the wind and rain for hundreds of years. The vast desert with no one in sight has actually become the reason why it was not destroyed.

The place is full of gold bricks, rich and luxurious, and they just pile up gold and precious stones without any regard for taste.

Walking to the largest palace, there was a throne at the top, but Li Yu did not go up. He walked to the top of the castle and looked down from the castle, overlooking the entire palace.

At this time, there are countless skeleton monsters busy next to the blood pools. They are constantly using the blood pools to awaken more skeletons.

These monsters have no consciousness of their own. They used to be corpse slaves, but now they just have a different master.

I don't know what means Jia Baoyu used to control them. Li Yu looked at their efficiency and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. If he didn't completely destroy this place or let them stop, he and Fang La wouldn't be able to kill so many monsters even if they were exhausted. .

Li Yu has always believed that since Jia Baoyu can control this place, there must be some central point.

As long as the center is destroyed, these skeletons can be cut off and new monsters will no longer be generated, and then there will be a chance to kill them.

Li Yu continued to search in the palace, and he slowly got closer and closer to the blood pools.

He saw a corpse soaking in a pool of blood, and Li Yu recognized it at a glance.

Scary monk!
