The bamboo raft began to move forward slowly under the urging of the Wind Chime Talisman.
Qin Hao also took this time to bandage the little girl's wound.
After he was done, he squatted down and raised the torch in his hand to check the surroundings.
This was a bottomless pool, surrounded by cliffs.
Where this deep pool would lead to, Qin Wu still did not know for the time being.
The bamboo raft gradually entered the dark waterway.
Under the illumination of the torches, the situation on the left and right sides also lit up.
There were many white skulls scattered around the dark cliff. These were all here and died from traps or other grave robbers.
One could imagine that the builders of these ancient tombs had already thought of this when they designed the tombs. Over the past thousands of years, many people had died in the tombs. No one cared about them, and they gradually became a pile of bones.
No one knew how dangerous this tomb was.
The previous divination seemed to have come true.
The deeper they went, the more strange the water cave became. It was as if they had entered a bizarre and fantastical maze. From time to time, ghost flames formed by white bones would appear in the distance. The cold water smell slowly turned into a thick smell of blood. The further the raft went, the stronger the smell of blood became.
For so many years, Qin Hao was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and corpses. It was mainly because he had dealt with these messy things for too many years. Suddenly, he was driving on such a dark waterway that he could not see the direction clearly. A pungent smell of blood came from his face. Anyone would think that this was not a good omen.
This situation made Qin Hao tense up.
His right hand slowly reached for his weapon.
Suddenly! The river suddenly widened. After passing through the pitch-black waterway, a huge beast head appeared in front of Qin Hao.
The beast head's face could not be seen clearly. At this moment, it was opening its bloody mouth. The inside of the mouth under its sharp fangs was the direction of the water flow.
After entering the mouth, Qin Hao was shocked to find that there were white corpses hanging above the mouth of the beast!
These corpses were chained by the neck, running through their entire bodies, from their mouths to their lower bodies. They were hung up from the top of the cave. Due to the humid climate of the waterway, some water droplets would fall from these corpses from time to time. Coupled with the long-term consumption of insects, the faces of these corpses were completely distorted, and their appearances could not be seen clearly. Only their skin was white, making them look extremely strange.
Boom!
A heavy crash was heard, and a white-skinned corpse fell from above.
Although this corpse was wearing iron chains, it was obvious that it did not weigh much. From the maggots crawling on it, Qin Hao could vaguely see the runes on the iron chains.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao suddenly realized that this rune was a sacrificial curse from the Jin Kingdom.
After thinking about the white-skinned corpse from before, Qin Hao immediately remembered.
This was the most ancient evil ritual of the Jin Kingdom during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Corpses Watching the Moon!
These pale-skinned corpses were the victims of the Corpse Moon-Watching Array, the Silver-Spotted Corpses.
The method to create such a corpse was to inject poisonous insects into a person's body, sealing the person's seven orifices and eating all the internal organs. Then, they would cut open the person's head and pour mercury into it. They would use iron chains to penetrate the person's body and hang them at the highest point of the roof. After the mercury entered the person's skin, it would make the person's skin silver-white and not fester! In ancient times, the Jin Kingdom believed in ghosts and evil, and the moon was the leader. The corpses looked up at the moon carved on the top of the mountain.
After seeing this scene, Qin Hao had a guess in his heart. Since there was an evil ritual of the Jin Kingdom during the Southern Song Dynasty in this waterway, the owner of this tomb must have something to do with them!
"Ah!"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a light panting sound behind him.
Qin Wu immediately turned around when he heard the panting sound. He saw that the young lady who was lying on the bamboo raft earlier had also slowly opened her eyes.
"And you are…" The young girl stood up in a daze. After looking around, she asked weakly.
"I am the Soulbringer, and this is the Road to the Underworld.”Qin Hao squatted in front of him and said in a very indifferent tone.
"Ah? Am I dead?" The young girl looked ahead in a daze. Her fair little face was filled with shock.
"That's right. It's a pity that he died at such a young age.”Qin Hao was still squatting in front of him. His tone was neither hurried nor fast as he said calmly.
"What about my senior brothers? Are they alive?" The young girl crawled forward and stretched out her jade-like hand to grab Qin Hao's clothes as she asked anxiously.
"I don't know. If I know that I didn't hook it, then I'm not dead.”Qin Wu shook his head and continued to bluff.
"Oh. Eh?" The young girl's right hand touched Qin Hao's arm. After hearing what he said, she sensed that something was wrong. She bit her lip lightly and shouted in a delicate voice,"You're lying! If your body is hot, why would the Soulbringer be hot?”
"I didn't expect you to be so smart." Qin Hao finally turned his head around. Seeing the anxious look on the young girl's face, he could not help but smile. Just now, he had also thought of teasing this young girl. After all, in this period, 17 or 18-year-old girls were very innocent.
Looking at Qin Hao's face, the young girl's face was slightly stunned. His face was like a crown, delicate and handsome. This was the first time the flower spirit had seen such a handsome man. Especially Qin Wu's smile, it was very warm.
Just as the two of them were conversing, a muffled collision sound once again sounded out, interrupting the current atmosphere…
