Chapter 1315 Jade Pendant
"I shouldn't have been curious, I shouldn't have been curious about the face under the mask!"
"Without permission, I uncovered the mask, I...I saw the tomb owner's face, only I...only I saw it, the remaining four people don't know."
"But I didn't do it on purpose, something must have been interfering with me, otherwise how could I have done such a thing, I wouldn't dare, it's impossible for me to dare!"
Hearing that Liu Xueyi saw the tomb owner's face, everyone became nervous. Luo Tianhe hid one hand behind his back, holding the bowl of blood glutinous rice, and stared at Liu Xueyi warily.
Liu Xueyi grabbed his rotten face, not caring about the decaying flesh and foul-smelling mucus. His eyeballs protruded, and he fell into madness, "That face is too terrible, the lower half of the face is completely destroyed, his mouth is almost melted, it's...it's gold, no, that's gold!"
"He was pried open, and molten gold liquid was poured into it, burned alive!"
Li Bai subconsciously clenched her fingers, "Molten gold poured down the throat..."
Jiang Cheng had heard of this method of death. It was used to punish some heinous criminals. For example, a heretical monk who once spread false rumors died under this cruel torture, as a punishment for his loose tongue.
Considering the title of Marquis of Reckless Words, it seemed that their previous guess was very close to the truth. The owner of this blood corpse tomb must have said something he shouldn't have, angered the imperial power, and suffered such a disaster.
"Besides molten gold down the throat, what else? What else did you find in the tomb owner's coffin?"
Since things had come to this, and Liu Xueyi's zombification was irreversible, Luo Tianhe simply continued to ask. They needed all the information related to the tomb owner before Liu Xueyi completely turned into a corpse.
"And...and that thing! I remember, I was bewitched because I saw that thing! Damn it, it's that thing!"
"It was the tomb owner's intention, this is a trap, a trap!"
"He never intended to let us go!"
"It's a jade pendant, a jade pendant hanging under his right ear!"
"There's something wrong with that jade pendant. Anyone who sees it will be bewitched and want to take the jade pendant for themselves. I accidentally touched the mask while taking off the jade pendant."
At the same time as hearing the words jade pendant, Jiang Cheng and Fatty instantly thought of the treasure in the boy's hand, the oval jade pendant.
According to the boy, it was a token left to him by his father. Even more coincidentally, the boy... the boy also forgot what his so-called father looked like!
t wouldn't be such a coincidence. There must be some unknown connection between the boy and the so-called tomb owner. A chill rose from the soles of their feet, and then spread throughout their bodies at an extremely fast speed.
Liu Xueyi ignored the gazes of others. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his body was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye, "After the mask fell off, I saw the tomb owner's face."
"His...his eyeballs were actually looking at me, he was looking at me and smiling...that's right, he was looking at me and smiling! With that terrifying face!"
"The corpse...the corpse came alive!"
"No, no, he wasn't dead at all!"
"He was just imprisoned in the coffin, this tomb is the cage that trapped him, so that he would be forgotten in the darkness forever, forever and ever, to atone for his sins in pain."
"And I...I opened the coffin, took off the mask, and let him out!"
The more Liu Xueyi spoke, the more excited he became. At this moment, this body was completely exposed. The pungent stench impacted everyone's noses. More unsettling than the stench was Liu Xueyi's suddenly changing eyes. He stared at everyone fiercely. This tattered body actually stood up, "It's all...it's all because of you! I could have lived forever, I didn't do anything wrong, the tomb owner won't blame me, you harmed me!"
As Liu Xueyi aimed the spearhead at everyone, a breath of death surrounded him, as if he wanted to turn Jiang Cheng and others into something like him.
Yao Shunyu rushed towards the door, wanting to open the door and lead everyone to run, but the door seemed to be locked from the outside at this moment, and it couldn't be opened no matter what. Fatty pushed him away, lowered his body, grabbed the door with both hands, roared in a low voice, his muscles bulged all over his body, and finally with a "crack" sound, he actually tore the door off.
But immediately afterwards, he was dumbfounded, because behind the door... behind the door was not a corridor, but a wall!
A very solid wall made of blue bricks!
Touching it, it was icy cold, like it came from another world. Li Bai's pupils shrank. She immediately recognized that these were tomb bricks. They...they were actually trapped in an ancient tomb!
Just like Liu Xueyi back then!
As if knowing that they couldn't escape, Liu Xueyi approached them step by step with strange steps, "It's all you, it's all you! As long as...as long as I kill you, the tomb owner will forgive me, he will definitely forgive me!"
Jiang Cheng and the others were forced into a corner, but the strange thing was that Liu Xueyi didn't seem to be interested in Bai Yu and Yuan Shanyuan. Yuan Shanyuan hid behind Bai Yu, staring at everything with a cold face.
Luo Tianhe was also with Jiang Cheng and others at this moment. Facing the approaching Liu Xueyi, Luo Tianhe knew that it was a time of life and death. He couldn't hide anything that was at the bottom of the box, "I have a way to deal with him, but it takes time, you must buy me time!"
"How long will it take?"
"Two minutes, one minute will do!" Luo Tianhe gritted his teeth, holding the bowl in one hand and reaching into his arms with the other to pull something out, obviously extremely nervous.
Jiang Cheng pushed him away and walked towards Liu Xueyi alone, leaving only one sentence, "You only have half a minute, if you can't do it, everyone will die together."
Seeing that someone dared to come out, a strange look flashed in Liu Xueyi's turbid eyeballs, but then he locked his first target on Jiang Cheng. The rotten arm that only had bones left was raised, and he made a gesture to grab Jiang Cheng's heart, "It's all the same, you are the first, you...all of you will die."
Jiang Cheng stood in front of Liu Xueyi, his expression not timid at all. On the contrary, a strange smile appeared on his face. He shouted loudly, "Liu Xueyi, how dare you kill me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the tomb owner?"
Seemingly shocked by Jiang Cheng's sudden roar, Liu Xueyi's movements paused slightly. Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and made a shape at Liu Xueyi.
Not big, oval, like an eye.
In the next second, Liu Xueyi's turbid eyeballs immediately focused, and then he stared at Jiang Cheng with an incredible look, and his rotten body trembled.
