Merchant of the Underworld

Bang bang bang!

The willow needles in the barrier exploded one after another, and the roar of the big crocodile became more and more fierce.

Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and one of his eyes was forced open.

This guy screamed and rolled all over the ground, but he couldn't stop it. The Yin spirits were reborn one after another!

There were fewer and fewer willow needles still hanging in the air, the rolling range of the big crocodile was also getting smaller and smaller, and the painful roar gradually became deeper.

The scales on its body are indeed extremely thick, and not even the Shocking Slash can do anything about it.

But these Yin spirits came out of its body, emerging from its flesh and blood, and dripping blood flowed freely through the gaps between its armor.

boom! The last willow needle also shattered.

The big crocodile waved its front paws very weakly and hit the ground heavily, becoming motionless.

Pillars of blood rushed out from the armor plates all over its body, forming a blood river, gurgling out, flowing past me, and flying down the cliff slope, like a red waterfall.

Seeing that this guy was already dead, I pulled out the ghost-killing swords with one hand and walked in quickly.

If this guy is really an ancient tomb formation eye, then its heart must be the formation eye in the formation eye, which is the thing that breaks the contract of life and death.

Once this thing is chopped, the curse of Han Laoliu, me, and Xiaobailong will be lifted.

I stepped forward and kicked it twice, and the arrogant crocodile was already dead.

I held the knife upside down, inserted it through the gap in the big crocodile's heart that had been drilled by the Yin spirit, pried open more than a dozen scales, and then suddenly dug it out.

boom!

A heart several times larger than a watermelon jumped out suddenly, rolled down several times, and stopped a few meters away dripping with blood.

I stepped forward, raised the knife and cut it in half with a click.

puff! Splashes of blood sprayed all over my body and face, but other than that, nothing changed.

This is wrong!

According to the "Yin Fu Jing", once the curse of life and death is broken, there will be a brief out-of-body experience. At that moment, you can see the other self floating out of the body and then disintegrating into ashes.

The runes on the boulder at the entrance to the ancient tomb are indeed a life and death contract. I am absolutely not wrong about this.

And because of this, the black and white double shadow cannot escape.

There is nothing wrong with what is recorded in the Yin Fu Jing, and I am convinced of this.

Then the only possibility is that this big crocodile is not a formation eye at all!

In this case, why would Emperor Jimmu rashly take action and seal this guy here?

I stood up in confusion and looked around.

This sealed space is very wide, of course, compared to the extremely huge giant crocodile, it is indeed a little smaller.

I used my flashlight to shine on the stone wall, trying not to miss any detail.

Finally, I found some exposed writing in a corner full of feces stains. I scraped off the stain with a knife blade, and all the writing on it was revealed.

Those characters are all in the large seal script used in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Although they are in Japanese ancient tombs, Japan had not invented writing at that time. Even today's Japanese is mixed with a large number of Chinese characters.

It turned out that I only had a little understanding of this kind of writing, and I couldn't even recognize a few of them.

However, the "Yin Fu Jing" was also formed during that period, and the characters on it are all in large seal script, and there are even many bronze inscriptions. In order to carefully study the "Yin Fu Jing", I not only asked for help from many colleagues in the antique industry, and ancient calligraphy experts, I even read through several ancient Chinese explanatory books.

For me now, reading Seal Script is no different from Simplified Chinese.

The words engraved on the stone wall were very concise and neat.

There are five lines in total, with five words in each line.

In the autumn of the seventh year of my reign, hundreds of people were injured by iron monsters, and deep valleys appeared while hunting. The soldiers perished on the way, so they were sealed and flooded.

There is a bold and domineering spirit in that font that can win the world!

Although there are only a few words, if you study it carefully, you can find many problems in it.

First of all, the writer is most likely Emperor Jimmu himself.

At that time, it must be rare in Japan to be able to use the characters that were transmitted from the Central Plains so skillfully, and the handwriting was so neat, and full of domineering air!

And the two words "Wutong" can prove this even more.

Secondly, the iron monster hurts hundreds of people, which must be the big crocodile. Even though this guy was far from such a huge figure at the time, he was still extremely ferocious and even injured hundreds of people.

This must have happened to them suddenly when they were building the ancient cemetery palace.

He happened to be caught up by Emperor Jimmu who came to see the progress of the ancient tomb construction, so he hunted the big crocodile. However, in the process of hunting the big crocodile, he just discovered a dark cave!

The last point is also the most amazing.

This dark cave turned out to be the escape route secretly left by the coolies and soldiers who built the ancient tomb.

So, he suddenly changed his mind. Instead of hunting the crocodile, he sealed it here, and then released the water and drowned the coolies.

According to this, this dark cave is probably here!

Otherwise, it is understandable to say that he was too cruel and drowned thousands of people alive in a fit of rage.

But why did he suddenly change his mind and instead of hunting the big crocodile, he chose to seal it and here it is?

You know, Emperor Jimmu is by no means a fool, there must be a reason for him to do this!

Then, the most likely possibility is that he drowned all the craftsmen and soldiers with water, blocked the door, and then used this monster to block the entrance door.

In other words, he kept the big crocodile to help him guard the door and guard a secret passage that led directly to the depths of the ancient tomb.

This passage is right here!

Suddenly, I figured it out!

Didn’t the big crocodile that I severely injured on the water have a bloody handprint on it?

Originally I thought it was the scar left by Emperor Jimmu when he fought it, but now that I think about it, it is simply a spell.

"Crazy Heart Curse!" This spell will make people lose their minds and become crazy.

But at the same time, it will also give the recipient a great benefit, that is, it will be immune to all diseases and have an extremely long life.

The crazy heart curse mark is engraved on the body, which is a bloody handprint! Directly to the heart and lungs!

The male crocodile sealed in the Ji Zi Jue has been blocked in time and space, has an extremely slow metabolism, and is almost always in a state of hibernation. In addition, this creature may have an extremely long lifespan, which leads to a thousand years of immortality.

The female crocodile who had been living outside was cast by him with a crazy heart spell, and her life was extended in disguise.

But their descendants will not have such a good fate.

Among the ancient tombs, only these two crocodiles were so huge.

I searched around the rock wall with a flashlight again, and finally found a rock that seemed to have a different color from the surrounding rocks!
