Murder Master

Chapter 292 Ancient City Relics

There are many spirit beasts in the death swamp, but not only crocodiles, but the death of the king of crocodiles and the destruction of the crocodile legion must have spread all over the death swamp. In this way, unless there is a suicidal spirit beast, who dares to come to find trouble for Bainiao Chong and others?

The team camped in the dark and rushed on its way at dawn. In addition to paying attention to natural traps, there were no spirit beasts to attack, so the next journey seemed calm.

As soon as the sky dawned, Wei Jian climbed out of the tent. His three wives also dressed and paid for the bill with him. A family of four came to the corner of the camp, took the incense wax paper money, burned incense and money to a statue placed on the simple altar, and knelt down to worship.

"Viagra, what kind of god does the boss let us worship this god? He looks so strange, with such big feet... I've never seen such a statue in a temple. A wife of Wei Jian asked.

"Don't ask if you don't understand. This is the god that the owner let you worship. Not to mention worship this god, even if my mother worships an earthworm, you have to worship me honestly! What's the cost?" The great sword is not good.

"Husband, can this god bless me to give birth to a big fat boy?"

"Is this...permitted?"

The family of four muttered their wishes, burned incense, burned money, and kowtowed to worship. Before the end, the colleagues and family members of the Black Wolf Village came one after another and did the same thing. These people, there are those who make a wish to give birth to a big fat boy to the god, those who make a wish to gamble and win, there are those who make a wish to live 150 years old, and those who make a wish to marry a girl or marry a handsome man. In short, they have all kinds of miscellaneous wishes.

There is a tent behind the simple altar, in which a hundred birds rush. He heard more or less the wishes made by the women, which made him feel that he couldn't laugh or cry. He asked the people of the black wolf village to worship the statue of fierce-eating ghosts. The fierce-eating ghosts are fierce ghosts from the underworld. How can he bless women to have children? He is about the same as eating children.

However, it is not easy to explain all these things to the people of the Black Wolf Village, just to let them know that this is the god of the underworld, which can protect them, exorcise evil spirits and so on. Along the way, the first thing for people in Black Wolf Village to get up every day is to worship the god of fierce ghosts. Over time, all kinds of wishes came out.

The process of worship is not long. After all, it is still on the journey. When the last few people finished worshipping and left the altar, the hundred birds appeared and put away the statue of the ghost-eating god. This statue has been worshipped for a hundred years and is a special channel for fierce ghosts. The more worship the statue receives, the longer it takes, the more power will be obtained, and the number of times will increase. With these benefits alone, Bai Niao Chong must worship the people of the Black Wolf Village.

After worshipping the god of fierce ghosts, the people of the black wolf village pulled up the camp, sorted out everything, and waited for the departure. With an order, the team marched towards the death swamp again.

The team has been walking in the death swamp for four days. According to Wei Jian, if there is no accident, you can walk to the ruins of the ancient city in three days, but the battle with the king of the crocodile and the crocodile army was delayed for some time, and he could not reach the destination in three days.

Half a day has passed, and there have been some changes in the swamp terrain underfoot. It is no longer muddy, and the ground is getting drier and drier as it goes, just like the ground in the forest. Walking here, Bainiao Chong had an intuition that the ruins of the ancient city were about to arrive.

Through a forest, a flat area surrounded by the forest appeared in sight. In the middle of the flat land, a mutilated ancient city lies. The ancient city has walls on all sides, but it has collapsed a lot, and bar-shaped stone bricks can be seen everywhere. The well-preserved wall clearly shows the arrow towers and turrets on it. There is a moat under the city wall, and there is water, but the river bank is overgrown with weeds and vines are entangled and very messy.

Through those collapsed walls, you can see some scenes in the ancient city. The houses in the ancient city are almost all stone walls, which are well preserved, but the roof is no longer there. Occasionally, it is preserved, but it is also tattered and may collapse at any time.

Farther away, Bai Niao Chong finally saw the palace mentioned by Wei Jian. The palace is located in the middle of the city, with a high foundation, much higher than other buildings, and looks very majestic.

The palace should be like this, high and magnificent, so as to reflect the majesty and momentum of the king. If even the palace is low and ugly, how can the king who lives in it have the face to rule his kingdom? This is the Taiyin Hall where hundreds of birds rush to practice in the underworld. The foundation is high and wide, and the hall is tall and large. Once completed, it will be a very imposing ghost king hall.

However, the palace of this ancient city has also become dilapidated after a long period of erosion. Although the roofs of those temples are installed, they are full of holes, some of which have even collapsed, leaving only a few black beams on the wall or pillar, which feels very desolate.

"Brother Bai, there is no one in it. We can go in." Meng Zhi looked at her Taoist compass and said to Bai Niaochong. Her eight-door iron cable array is a very useful Taoist. Although it can't be used to attack people, she is very good at doing these things.

Bai Niao nodded and said to Wei Jian, "Wei Jian, do you recall the scene in those years? Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?"

"Dear owner, I've thought about it for a long time." Wei Jian answered and said, "There are caves under this ancient city, as long as you don't fall down. The reason why I was able to escape in those years was that I picked up a life because I fell into the cave. Well, that's where I fell. He pointed to a section of the wall and said, "It's right behind that wall."

After a short stay, the team finally wanted to go to the final destination.

The moat is three feet wide, but it is covered with silt and weeds to at least two-thirds. Now the moat has only one-third of the area left. The water flowed through the moat, and the deepest place was only about five feet. Such a moat has lost its meaning as a moat and looks more like a small river flowing around the city.

The suspension bridge of the city gate has long ceased to exist, leaving only a broken frame and a rusty iron cable. Hundreds of birds summoned the great sword, asked him to take people to the forest to cut down a few trees, and built a temporary bridge. Then the team passed through the wooden bridge and entered the ancient city.

When the great sword led people to cut down trees, hundreds of birds rushed around the city gate to look for things such as the city gate plaques. He wanted to find some written clues about the ruins of the ancient city, but unfortunately, although the city gate was built, there was no plaque engraved with its name.

"Is this ancient city an unknown city? It's impossible. Even a small town has its name, let alone such a majestic royal city? Walking on the barren street, looking left and right, there is also such a question in the heart of Bai Niao Chong.

Walking in the ancient city, there are old streets. The hoof marks left by the horses can be faintly seen on it. They are surrounded by houses with only remnants. The stone walls are full of moss, and grass grows out in the cracks of the stone bricks, silently talking about something. This is completely different from standing in the distance and looking at the ancient city. Here, people are shrouded in an atmosphere that is the thick and desolate of history and the ruthlessness and indifference of years.

"With boundless light and eternal things, even the Buddha will not be an exception. The universe is born and destroyed. What else is eternal? Now I can still see this ancient city. Billions of years later, adventurers who accidentally come here, I'm afraid it's lucky to see a stone brick, right? Bai Niaochong sighed in his heart, but he immediately erased all these thoughts.

The ruins of this ancient city will make people feel that everything will eventually perish. No matter how strong it is, it will not help. This is a negative idea. He doesn't want to let it grow and develop. What he needs now is courage, strength and struggle!

After walking some places, the streets crisscrossed, but no matter where they walked, Bai Niao Chong did not see a piece of debris left. There is no one, and there is no animal. This is a very abnormal phenomenon. No one's bones can be attributed to the erosion of the years, but this is the ancient city in the death swamp. The bones of those spirit beasts and beasts should always be there, right? However, there really is no.

After walking, the team finally came to the square in front of the palace. The palace is dilapidated, but the square is well preserved. The stone bricks were arranged piece by piece, and there was no crack. However, the weeds invaded here and grew out of the cracks in the stone bricks and swaying with the wind.

"Dear owner, this is the ancient city palace I'm talking about!" Wei Jian looked very excited. "I didn't have a chance to go in and have a look. I thought I would never come to this place again in my life, but I didn't expect to stand in front of it again today. I'm going in and have a look."

Not only the great sword, but also Hua Manyue, Nancy and Meng Zhi also looked very excited, shouting to go ahead and have a look.

After a lot of hard work, the most mysterious and spectacular palace ruins are in front of us. It is natural to go in and have a look. But Bai Niao Chong stopped them when they were about to go in, "Wait! Don't rush in."

Meng Zhi looked at Bai Niao Chong in surprise, "Is there anything wrong? No, I just explored it with the eight iron rope array. There is no one in it, and there are no spirit beasts and beasts. It's okay to go in and have a look.

Bai Niao Chong shook his head, "I understand that you want to go in and have a look, but... I think this place is very ordinary."

"Exordinary? What's unusual?" Lan Qingyi asked.

Hundreds of birds thought for a moment, "Have you seen a skeleton? There are no people or animals. We don't know why such a big ancient city was destroyed, but it is very abnormal that there is no skeleton left.

"Maybe it was eaten by a crocodile. Do those guys still pay attention to whether they spit out bones when they eat?" Lan Qingyi said.

"There is no skeleton, just a little bit, but I don't think this is the unusual place. Let me ask you again, since we entered the ancient city, we have traveled a lot of places, right? Have you seen an ant? Bai Niao Chong suddenly said.

Lan Qingyi and Meng Zhi were stunned. They didn't pay attention to what Bai Niao Chong said, but they were also sure that they didn't see it.

Ants are tiny creatures, but they are ubiquitous. There are nests where they live in the field, and in the corners of people's homes. In short, as long as they can make holes and nests, there are their figures, but here, there is no trace of them in the corner or the ground.

"There are many wild flowers growing in this ancient city, wild ** and so on, but have you seen a bee or butterfly?" Bai Niao Chong said again.

As a result, Lan Qingyi and others' expressions became solemn. Indeed, not to mention ants, even a bee and butterfly were not seen. Can this place be regarded as a normal place?

Unconsciously, a wind blew, and the weeds on the ground shook, making a rustling sound.

This wind can't be warm. It's a normal wind. But I don't know why, but it makes people feel cold, uneasy and nervous.
