C165 The Guardian of Sin

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

We simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Nothing life-threatening had happened. That is to say, the two centimeters of soil that had been scraped off by that arrow just now was actually nothing related to the overall situation. It was within the range of normal wear and tear.

In other words, the mud on the clay sculpture wasn't the main point.

But both Zhu Tai and I could sense that if we destroyed those masks and molds, something terrible would happen.

In addition to the special color that seeped out from underneath the layer of soil that was scraped off, I looked at Zhu Tai. His face revealed an extremely ugly smile. His answer was already very clear.

The soil was not the main point, the main point was what was wrapped within the soil!

"Earth is a protective layer?" He seemed to be asking me something.

I nodded. "From the looks of it, the layer of soil above must have undergone some sort of treatment to be able to isolate itself from prying eyes."

The heck! That works too? " Wang Xu spat towards the depths of the abyss. He looked at me and asked, "In that case, this isn't an unsolvable solution?"

"I can try again!" Maybe it will really be solved. "

"Be careful!" If anything goes wrong, we'll immediately pull you back. " Wang Xu said as he rubbed his face.

I nodded. Fan Cunlong called out to me, and I pulled at the rope in his hand, saying: "You guys just hold on tight, there won't be any big problems."

Fan Cunhu was also moved in by the commotion just now, causing the stone platform to immediately feel a bit crowded, he turned and said to Fan Cunhu: "Cun Hu, go outside, you have to hurry."

"Alright!" Fan Cunhu looked at me worriedly, then bent down and crawled out.

"Give me a dagger!"

Wang Xu handed me a short knife with a sheath. I pulled out the sheath and threw it to him. Then, I moved towards the front.

To tell the truth, I was even more nervous this time.

This was the first time he didn't know how powerful it was. Although he was cautious, he didn't have a clear understanding of it. However, after experiencing this strange and unpredictable power, it was impossible to say he wasn't worried.

With each step steady, I stopped in front of the clay mask on the right, not once again stepping over the first two masks into the big killing array in front of me.

Everything was fine.

I squatted down with difficulty and started carefully cleaning the soil that had just been scraped away.

The cleaning process was very difficult, the soil was very hard, but I couldn't use too much strength to avoid damaging the contents of the clay sculpture, so there were probably two human masks around the size of a human face. It took me more than half an hour to finish cleaning all of them.

In front of me, there is a bronze mask without any traces of rust. Some parts of the mask are painted with a deep and strange color, and on the forehead of the mask, there is actually a red dot that was left behind with cinnabar. It is just that when this mask, which should have seemed a little sacred, is placed on the mask, I could only feel an inexhaustible strangeness.

I suddenly thought, could it be that thing?

"Qi Qiao, how is it?" Wang Xu's voice rang out from behind me. He was worried that I might have problems, so he called out to me once every few minutes.

I replied, "It's fine. I just made an interesting discovery."

"What?" Wang Xu asked.

I turned my head and shook my head. "I can't be sure for now. I'll check again."

Standing up, at a close distance, I could accurately count the number of masks here, no more, no less, exactly eighteen.

The eighteen masks were divided into two neat rows and looked in different directions. The first two masks were facing each other, while the second one on the right was tilting slightly towards me. It seemed like the empty eyes of the mask were looking at me.

The second mask on the left had an expression of violence. It had its head lowered and its eyes fixed on the pontoon bridge. My shadow was being projected on the stone bridge by the light from behind, so the second mask on the left looked more like it was looking at my shadow with a cruel expression.

This was not their true colors, but rather, it was deliberately made to look like this in order to mislead others. No one would be able to come up with a solution even if they wanted to.

I had a plan in mind, but I needed a final confirmation, so I moved on to the first mask on the left and began to clear the hard, dry dirt that covered it.

I have to say, the dagger that Wang Xu threw to me is indeed very sharp, and the one that is of good quality is steel. Otherwise, it would be at least twice as difficult to get rid of this inferior material.

Even so, the tip of the short knife was still broken by me.

The second mask gradually revealed its true form. This was a more feminine bronze mask, with some symbolic hair on the head. On the forehead of this mask, there was also a cinnabar that symbolized a sacred identity in China. Compared to the right mask, this one seemed a lot more normal, but it was only a relatively small amount.

I didn't know why this eye-less mask could even express an expression of wild nature. That kind of lustful and lustful look was vividly expressed by this blind mask.

Looking at this amazing sculpture, I could only guess that it might be due to some ancient source of power.

"How is it?" Wang Xu asked again.

I got up and walked back. "I'm pretty sure about it. I know what this is now. The surface is covered in a layer of mud. It's simply enough to kill people."

Wang Xu's eyes lit up. "Speak!"

I roughly described the true appearance of the bronze mask under the clay masks to Wang Xu and the others before saying, "I'm a hundred percent sure that these things are the 18 Sin 18 Protectors."

"The Eighteenth Guardian of the Sin of Egypt? Legend has it that with this strange power, every single one of them represents the heart's evil eighteen protectors of evil? " Wang Xu had put in a lot of effort in the myths about Egypt, so when I mentioned the name of the Eighteen Wardens of Sin, he immediately reacted.

"Isn't that so!" I nodded my head with a bitter smile. For many people, this kind of thing is basically an unsolvable existence. However, the pharaohs who built this pyramid had clay molded on their masks. Thus, it made this already deadly item even more deadly.

"I have heard of the 18 Sin Guards from a senior. That senior also warned me that once I see something like that, it would be best for me to take a detour around it …" Qi Qiao, did you recognize the wrong person? " Wang Xu said a few words to himself and suddenly frowned.

I looked at him. "What's the matter?"

Wang Xu said, "That senior told me about the appearance of the 18 Sin Devils, which should have been shaped like a human or beast head. But those things aren't."

I said, "It's not a definite existence. The Sin Eighteen protects in the legends of Egypt. It's an existence without a form, but no matter how you change it, it cannot escape from a human face. Even if it's the head of a beast, the night that exists on the head must be a face. As long as the face exists and the direction is correct, it will still protect Sin Eighteen, even if you install a cannon behind the mask."

After thinking about it, I felt that such an explanation was still not clear enough, so I gathered my thoughts and said, "Simply put, the 18 Sin Devils are no longer in shape, but in the direction of the human face and its decorations, it's like a legendary array. And their core is actually the word 'evil'. "

If you call it the Eighteen Evildoers Guardian, it might help you understand something more. After you pour the eighteen evils of humanity into the mask and arrange them according to a specific pattern, you would be able to unleash a strange power that would disturb your mind.

The negative emotions that rushed into my heart just now was the erosion that the evil in those masks had made on me. If I lost control of my mind due to that erosion, it was very possible that I would die or become a puppet controlled by evil thoughts. Thinking about the matter that was even harder to accept than death, I shivered from the lingering fear in my heart.

"Damn it!" There are so many Ghost Dao arts, and they are completely different from what we have in China. " Wang Xu scolded loudly.

I replied, "It can't be said to be different. After a person dies, they all return to the same path. This thing, to be exact, shouldn't appear in the tomb. It should actually belong to the category of antiques." These eighteen masks are all sticky red Old Object. Just one of them will bring disaster to the dead. "

"Sticky red Old Object?" Wang Xu suspiciously looked at me. I waved my hand and said, "Some things from Antique."

Wang Xu lost his interest and asked, "Then what about it? Is there any way to solve it?"

I nodded. "Actually, it's all thanks to you finding me here. There aren't many people who understand this kind of thing."

"Isn't this nonsense? If I didn't know that you understood, I wouldn't have come to find you. Alright, let's cut the crap. Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of this thing."

Ye Zichen nodded with a smile. It might be difficult to deal with these things, but as long as he managed to grab hold of a few key points, he would be able to destroy them easily.

It was nothing more than breaking the strange connection between the eighteen masks, isolating each of the sins within them. This way, every method they used could only have a great impact within that range.

Unless someone stayed near these masks for a long time, their consciousness would slowly erode.

Taking out the gadgets that I usually use from my backpack, I take out the Silver Snake and Golden Tiger, and gradually cut off the connection between the flow of energy in these strange masks.

After passing through the first two masks, I was safe and sound, while Wang Xu shouted at me from behind. I naturally agreed, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Then the second row, the third row, the fourth row …

I tied ropes to the gadgets, put them on the nodes, and used one breath to suppress another.

This could be said to be the kind of poison that was used against poison in Chinese medicine, right?
