The City of the "Dead "

 

After passing through a long and dark passage accompanied by a torch, and the torch had already started to dim, Yan Ri started to see a light spot as a sign of the exit. The roar of the river beside him had turned into a waterfall.

Yan Ri came out of the cave from a cliff that was right in the middle of the height of the abyss. The cliffs are called Hun Dun slit by people. A huge crack of land split the earth , long, and deep to hundreds of meters. Beside the cave where Yan Ri came out was an even bigger cave entrance. The cave door was decorated in the form of pillar-like pillars of the Parthenon temple, the temple of the lightning god belonging to the god-worshipping community elsewhere, far to the west.

The entrance of this cave is right in the middle of the height, making it difficult to climb from below, also difficult to descend from above. Except to be able to fly from the top side of the opposite cliff, either with a simple paragliding tool, or the person is indeed claustrophobic king of apes who ride a kintoun cloud. Yan Ri could reach the door of that cave by creeping on the cliff wall. Of course Yan Ri hopes there is another door that connects to the top, to further find a way back to Shang Ri La college.

Arriving at the mouth of the cave, Yan Ri found this place was being crowded by people. One of them was the royal entourage that Yan Ri had crossed paths in the tavern, which meant that there was a royal princess, general Mo Ruyu and many other bodyguards. There were also several princes. It seemed that some of these princes were scrambling over the Dragon Bone, to gain more power, seeking more power. The power struggle among princes who were certainly lowly commoners like Yan Ri did not know or based on the nature of Yan Ri, rather did not want to know.

Yan Ri infiltrated the sidelines of the entourage .And they're not suspicious. Because it was so complex every princely retinue, increasing one or 2 people was very inconspicuous. Each prince's entourage consisted of bodyguards, servants, soldiers, and even tomb diggers. Plus each camp could have considered the newly arrived Yan Ri as part of the other prince's party's workers. The princes may have had a big fight, but not the workers. For small workers, disputes between princes do not need to fall too far. Enough to know who won, then fellow workers, fellow citizens of the Ryuun empire, then still counted brothers.

Wait......

The body was not just stacked or buried, but mummified, then covered with clay until it became a statue with a scale of 1:1 human while still alive. This custom continued until the emperor died and participated in the mummification at that place. The difference with the mummy of the pharaoh, if the Egyptian pharaoh mummy is buried with his treasure, the emperor of the central plain dynasty is mummified along with all his loyal troops. The army that was mummified into this stone statue was called Terracota.

There is a legend that states that with the Dragon Bones, the entire Terracota army could be revived, and become an undead army of tens or even hundreds of millions. A fantastic amount as it was collected from several imperial eras that routinely mummified the emperor and his army. Such a huge number, that it could conquer a Ryuun empire overnight. Or even the entire world if the Dragon Bone owner had the ambition to explore the world and conquer the entire world. A power that any ruler wants, a power that can conquer anyone.

The entire world did not know Yan Ri who had infiltrated. But just a glance, Mo Ruyu's point of view could recognize him. With a smile that is difficult to explain, a way of mind that only women can think of. Because only women have complicated mindsets. The way Mo Ruyu's mind was smiling from not seeing Situ Meng beside Yan Ri.

But is not the situation now being less conducive to shouting excitement and hugging the lover? yes of course, the princes were arguing as if mom was fighting over vegetables at the market. Or because the contested one is a piece of bone, isn't it no different from a dog animal ? .
