Although Xu Shenxing vaguely felt that some kind of change had occurred in this space, he was not the perceptive type, so he did not know what exactly had changed.
After thinking for a while, Xu Shenxing turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
He did not intend to leave this space. In fact, after entering the different space, his original sense of direction was no longer sufficient. If he really wanted to leave here, he just needed to take out Roland Duell and swipe it casually.
Xu Shenxing chose to go back because he found a faint smell of blood coming from behind.
Sure enough, he did not walk far before he found a staircase leading downwards in front of him.
At first, the staircase was similar to the material of the corridor, giving a feeling of rough limestone, but the further down he went, the more exquisite it became.
After about half a minute of walking, the entire staircase could be described as carved railings and made of jade.
"This is really..." Xu Shenxing touched the jade-colored handrail, and after confirming that this was not an illusion with his physique, he could not help but sigh. "It's incredible."
Although he had seen planets in the universe that were almost entirely made of gold, it was obviously more full of the feeling of nouveau riche compared to the current environment, but the yellow feces that filled his eyes at that time could not be compared to this scenery that was obviously carefully arranged...
Maybe he could just casually pick a piece here and live a carefree life for a long time.
However, Xu Shenxing did not do so, but continued to walk down the stairs. The deeper he went, the stronger the smell of blood became. Finally, when he finally reached the end of the stairs, a pile of minced meat that could no longer be distinguished appeared in front of him. The minced meat was soaked in dark red blood, and if he looked carefully, he could see some tattered cloth mixed in it. It was probably the original clothes of this pile of minced meat.
Judging from the degree of decomposition, this pile of minced meat should have died not long ago. Whether it was the smell of blood or the minced meat itself, they were all very fresh. Xu Shenxing had also encountered many corpses in the past battles, so he could still make this kind of judgment.
However, the passage of time in the different space and the speed of decomposition of the corpses were not necessarily the same as on Earth, so this did not mean anything.
Xu Shenxing continued to look ahead.
In front of the stairs was a very wide space. It even gave people the feeling that they were not in some kind of underground facility, but on the surface.
However, this was not the ground after all. With Xu Shenxing's extraordinary eyesight, he could still see through the darkness and see the domed rock formations and stalactites above.
Although the ceiling looked like an ordinary cave, the ground was paved with high-quality bluestone slabs. Around them, one could vaguely see towering pillars. Just these alone were enough to give people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
Xu Shenxing left the unidentified corpse and continued to walk forward. Not long after, a towering palace appeared in front of him, which surprised him.
He didn't expect that there would be a palace in a cave like this.
However, this kind of terrain made him have a new guess.
"Could it be that this is an ancient tomb?"
Legend had it that there was a majestic underground palace built in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. It even imitated the geography of the whole world at that time, with mercury as the rivers and seas, surging endlessly.
However, this made things even more strange. Why would Chiyuketsu's western-style villa be related to this kind of mausoleum with obvious ancient characteristics of the Celestial Dynasty?
With such doubts, Xu Shenxing slowly walked into the palace.
Unlike what he had expected, the decoration in the palace was not very magnificent. At most, it was similar to the stairs. Most of the corners were not made of gold, silver, jade, or jewelry, but bronze.
Vaguely, Xu Shenxing seemed to see a figure flashing in the depths of the palace.
This was good news. Since entering this strange space, Xu Shenxing had not encountered anything alive except for a moving statue.
But when he got close to the so-called figure, he was disappointed.
In the depths of the palace, there was a huge bronze cauldron. He didn't know what kind of fuel was burning under the cauldron, but he only saw an almost white flame. The flame licked the belly of the bronze cauldron, and even the bottom of the bronze cauldron was burning red.
There was a lot of water in the bronze cauldron. At this moment, it was boiling like the hot spring in the basement of Sakura Apartment.
Behind the bronze cauldron stood two corpses. The reason why he didn't need to confirm that they were corpses was because the two bodies didn't have heads, and the wounds on their necks looked very fresh, as if they had just been beheaded.
The shadows of the two corpses were projected on the screen behind the cauldron, and were constantly changing because of the dancing flames under the bronze cauldron. The figures Xu Shenxing saw just now were these two shadows, not real living people.
At this time, Xu Shenxing caught a glimpse of something floating in the bronze cauldron from the corner of his eye.
So he went forward to take a look.
He saw a head that had been boiled with dissolving muscles, revealing white bones, suddenly jumped out of the water and opened its mouth to bite Xu Shenxing!
In the face of this sudden change, Xu Shenxing snorted lightly and flicked the head back into the water.
At this moment, two more heads emerged from the boiling water and bit towards the ferocious head. Just like that, the three heads began to fight.
By now, even Xu Shenxing had vaguely guessed what was going on in this different space.
He didn't care about the three heads. He just held the bronze cauldron's handle with one hand, as if he didn't feel the hot temperature, and punched the air with the other hand.
This action didn't make any sound on the physical level, but Xu Shenxing seemed to hear the sound of glass being broken.
In the next moment, the surrounding scene shattered, and then the cauldron's fire and the corpse's head disappeared. Even the simple hall disappeared.
When everything stopped changing, Xu Shenxing found himself in a basement.
The minced meat still lying at the door proved that everything just now was not an illusion.
The bronze cauldron he was holding was also gone, replaced by a huge stone tablet that still had the smell of earth. It was probably dug out of the ground not long ago, and there were three big words written in Chu seal script on it.
He could understand Xu Shenxing's protection order, and the words on it were "Tomb of the Three Kings".
"So that's how it is …" He sighed.
Perhaps not many people could understand the name "Tomb of the Three Kings", but if there was another thing related to it, even if it wasn't well-known, it was definitely popular.
That was the legendary divine sword, Ganjiang Moye.
Legend had it that Ganjiang Moye forged the sword for King Chu, and it took three years to complete. Ganjiang knew that it wouldn't bode well for him to present the sword, so he left the male sword behind and only brought the female sword to meet King Chu. As expected, he was cut down by King Chu.
Moye gave birth to their child, Mei Jianchi. When he grew up, he told him about his father.
Mei Jianchi took out the male sword and wanted to avenge his father, but King Chu accidentally found out about it. King Chu used a lot of money to capture Mei Jianchi, and the latter could only hide deep in the mountains.
Later, Mei Jianchi met a swordsman, who heard his story and decided to avenge Mei Jianchi. But to do so, he needed Mei Jianchi's head and the male sword, Ganjiang.
Mei Jianchi did not hesitate to cut his own throat with the sword, but his corpse immediately stiffened and stood upright.
Only when the swordsman promised that he could avenge him did Mei Jianchi's corpse fall down as if it was at ease.
The swordsman brought Mei Jianchi's head and the male sword, Ganjiang, to meet King Chu. King Chu was very happy, and according to the swordsman's instructions, he set up a bronze cauldron and wanted to boil Mei Jianchi's head. But even after three days and three nights, there was still no change.
So the swordsman said that King Chu needed to put his face on the bronze cauldron to boil Mei Jianchi's head. King Chu did not doubt him and put his head on the cauldron. The swordsman took the opportunity to cut off King Chu's head with his sword, causing it to fall into the bronze cauldron.
King Chu's head and Mei Jianchi's head were biting each other in the cauldron, unable to determine the winner. So the swordsman cut off his own head and threw it into the cauldron, attacking King Chu together with Mei Jianchi.
By the time the officials of Chu arrived, the three heads had all rotted into a lump, unable to be distinguished.
So they could only bury the three heads together, calling it the "Tomb of the Three Kings".
Xu Shenxing saw that the stone tablet seemed to have been unearthed not long ago, and there was no news about it recently. He vaguely guessed that Chiyuketsu's father was secretly buying and selling stolen artifacts obtained from tomb robbing, and in the end, attracted the vengeful spirit that lingered for thousands of years. That was why his entire family was implicated and died in a car accident …
As for what the meat paste was, Xu Shenxing was not too interested to know. At worst, he would deliberately trigger the alarm later, and let the guards who woke up collect the corpse and investigate its identity.
Just as Xu Shenxing was about to leave the basement, he suddenly patted his head and whispered.
"That's not right!"
