Chapter 123 Nine Skulls
long long----
In the open space, there was a downward corridor entrance. The entrance was not big, just at the headmaster's feet. At this time, Shuiyue found that a guard was squatting beside the principal, under the palm of his hand, as if pressing some hidden button or something. This may be the secret facility to open the corridor, right?
Shuiyue would not have thought that there was a corridor in this open space, which was used to lift the nearby grass. The headmaster was the first to go down and made a dull cry from the corridor in a blink of an eye: "What are you waiting for? Follow me down!"
"Oh!" Shuiyue was stunned and quickly followed him down and ordered a few guards to stay outside. The guards didn't seem to intend to go in. This is the heavy place of the mage school, which will cause unnecessary trouble for themselves.
In the corridor, the light is not bad, which is likely to be the cause of the torch on the wall lit by the principal. The torch illuminates the corridor, and the corridor is also very spacious. The meteor that goes down with him walks on the right, touches the wet cement wall with his hand, and asks as he walks, "How deep is this corridor?"
At a glance, there were countless steps. I really didn't know when to go, and Shuiyue quietly followed down.
"This corridor extends 100 meters underground and has 500 steps!" The headmaster introduced in front of him. At every step, the deep and empty sound came, which made people feel strange.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the end of the corridor. Here is an open basement, which seems to have endless darkness. The water and moon feel very cold, but this cold, unlike the dryness outside, is wet. The light from the corridor only illuminates the ground near the exit of the corridor. The water moon stands in front of the light, Fang appeared his own shadow.
The principal said, "Don't think it's very big. In fact, it's just a small room for people to gather, about the same size as my room. At the same time, he lit the torch here. For a moment, the whole room was revealed, and there was nothing here.
Shuiyue breathed a sigh of breath, and her shadow also disappeared. She found that there was a gate facing the exit of the corridor. The gate was a dragon-style relief. The gate was divided into two. The dragon accounted for half and was lifelike. It seemed that the dragon was a rising posture, spitting dragon beads, and there was a cloud under his feet. There was a dent in the abdomen of the dragon sculpture. It's probably here to insert the key, right?
This is the gate of the dragon stone, and behind it is the place of essence.
Dragon stone is actually a sea reef, and the sea is the hometown of the dragon, so it is called dragon stone, but it is different from other sea reefs. This reef has been deposited in the central area of the deep sea, enduring darkness and heavy pressure all year round, absorbing the most essential part of the sea water, so this reef is trained. With a particularly tough body, there are few things on the continent that can be compared with the toughness, but because this reef comes from the deep sea and has a wet negative that cannot be dried, it is not suitable for making weapons, but very suitable for stone doors.
"The dampness on the wall is the role of the dragon stone!" The headmaster said, taking the key handed over by Lily and preparing to insert it.
"Wait a minute!" Shuiyue walked over to stop the principal's movements. He had to observe whether the dragon gate had been opened recently.
Touching your fingers, this dragon stone door is indeed very cold, but not cold. This coolness makes people like it very much. There is the tide of the sea. Under the stone door, there are still traces of the last time the stone door was opened. Is this stone door that opened outward?
The double door is divided into two ways to open the door, pull out and push out. From the inside of the door, it shows internal push or pull. Judging from the arc marks on the ground, this dragon door is the way to open the door pull out and push inside the door. At the same time, the traces are already very blurred, unlike the signs of recent opening.
"Principal, when did you come in last?"
"A year ago!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Every year, at the end of the year, the school must improve the content of the essence of the land!" Principal, with the key, I don't know if I should open the stone door.
"Oh, you are really talky. Open the stone door and go in and have a look. It's so cold here!" Meteor complained, walked to the headmaster, took the key, and inserted it directly into the depression of the abdomen of the relief dragon, which was not as good as everyone's reaction.
Boom----
The dragon gate opened wide, and the rebound speed was very fast, hitting the meteor far away!
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me that this door was opened like this?" The meteor covered his head and stood up crookedly.
"...!" Shuiyue still has something to say!
When everyone walked into the stone gate, they felt that the space here was very large, but it was also dark. The principal lit the torch at the door, and everyone moved their eyes to the firelight. They couldn't help but stare one by one. At the end of the firelight, there were many skeletons scattered. Although they were scattered, each skeleton was still a whole, not Scattered!
"Wow, that's disgusting, headmaster. Does your school still have a hobby of collecting dead people?" Meteor couldn't help shouting, and then took the torch in the principal's hand and lit the next torch. In this way, everyone's vision was wider and they saw a total of nine skeletons on the ground, and the principal was obviously stunned. Isn't these bodies placed here by the school?
The headmaster pointed to these skeletons and said, "They are..., are they...?"
"Uncle, who are they? Why didn't we have this kind of thing here last time we came here? Lily has been here before, so the essence of what she and the principal saw should be the same, but what does these skeletons represent at the gate?
In this year, someone has entered here!
"They are the ninth presidents who have learned the imprisonment of life!" After saying that, the headmaster squatted down and groped for the skeleton on the ground!
Shuiyue seemed to have a little thought. She immediately ran over and kicked away the skull under the principal. In a blink of an eye, the skeleton was kicked by Shuiyue. The principal stood up in astonishment, "What are you going to do?"
"Principal, be careful of the poison on these skeletons!" Since being attacked by skeletons in purgatory, Shuiyue is very worried about this thing. In addition to the strange appearance of skeletons today, Shuiyue is worried!
"Do you think they are poisonous?"
"Uncle, look!" When Lily heard that Shuiyue said that the skeleton was likely to be poisonous, she squatted down and tried it with a silver needle. Now the silver needle she pointed to everyone was black!
"It's really poisonous!" Shuiyue broke out in a cold sweat.
"How could this happen?" The headmaster didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to touch the skeleton.
"Principal, did you just say that they are the remains of past presidents?" Shuiyue asked.
"Yes, but this is just my guess, because the place of essence is also a cemetery, and the remains of the principals of all generations have also been placed here, a total of nine, so when I saw the skeletons on the ground, I thought that someone must have come in here. I was a little too excited just now!"
The number of skeletons corresponds to the number of principals of past generations. Shuiyue feels wrong, "Principal, please take us to the place where the bodies of past principals are placed!"
