Chapter 550
These primitive snakes had a strict hierarchy, with the highest-ranking snake having horns and being called the Dragon God by the Zhang family at the time.
The Dragon God possesses immense power; every action it takes can cause landslides and earthquakes, bringing immense disaster to the world.
It often drives controlled corpses to attack surrounding villages and tribes, causing countless deaths and staining the earth with blood.
Because the Dragon God had harmed countless people, it aroused strong indignation among the Zhang family.
The Zhang family knew that if the Dragon God was not subdued, the world would never have peace.
So they gathered the elite forces of their tribe and began a life-or-death struggle against the Dragon God.
In that fierce battle, the Zhang family paid a heavy price, but they did not back down. With their firm belief and tenacious will, they finally succeeded in sealing the Dragon God in the corpse of a female member of their clan.
To ensure that the Dragon God could never escape, the Zhang family also used meteorite jade to forge a huge bronze cauldron.
Meteorite jade emits a mysterious light and possesses powerful energy, capable of suppressing evil auras.
The Zhang family tightly chained the female corpse inside the cauldron. Each chain was engraved with mysterious runes, which shimmered with a faint light and contained the Zhang family's powerful strength and the sealing incantation.
Finally, they lowered the bronze cauldron into the Kunlun Mountains, chose a secluded valley, buried it deep underground, and used it to suppress the evil spirits.
Although the Zhang family successfully sealed the Dragon God, they knew that the Dragon God's power was too great for them to kill completely.
To avoid retribution from the Dragon God, the Zhang family built a magnificent temple in the area.
The temple has a unique architectural style, with various mysterious patterns and symbols carved on it. Every brick and stone seems to tell the story of the Zhang family's reverence for the Dragon God.
They specifically worshipped this evil god in the form of a dragon god, which is the main god worship later mentioned in the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.
The Zhang family hoped to appease the dragon god's soul in this way and pray that it would no longer bring harm to the world.
During the Yuan Dynasty, there was a notorious monk known as the "Demon Monk".
He was eccentric and ruthless, and was notorious at the time.
The emperor at the time was a devout Buddhist and longed to become a Buddha after death. So he entrusted this important task to a wicked monk, ordering him to build a unique mausoleum for himself.
Although the original text does not explicitly state who this emperor is, based on historical records and various clues, it is highly likely to be a certain emperor.
A certain emperor spent his life conquering battlefields and building a vast empire. However, when faced with life and death, he, like any ordinary person, yearned for the state of enlightenment that comes with Buddhahood.
After receiving the order, the demonic monk dared not slack off and began searching for a suitable location.
Ultimately, he set his sights on the underground of Inner Mongolia.
In his view, the unique terrain and mysterious atmosphere of this place made it ideal for building a mausoleum where the emperor could attain Buddhahood.
So he gathered a large number of craftsmen and began this massive project.
After years of meticulous design and construction, a lotus-shaped mausoleum has slowly taken shape underground in Inner Mongolia.
The design of this mausoleum is ingenious, with every detail showcasing the evil wisdom of the sorcerer monk.
The most terrifying thing in this lotus-shaped tomb is the so-called "corpse kingdom banquet" that he designed.
The banquet in the Corpse Kingdom was set up in an extremely luxurious manner, with all kinds of rare treasures displayed around it. However, these treasures seemed so insignificant in the context of the banquet, because the food served was all human flesh.
Each dish was meticulously prepared using human flesh, emitting a nauseating odor, yet the demonic monk regarded it as the ultimate delicacy.
Among these many gruesome dishes, there is one called "Eternal Flowing Clouds," which is placed inside a giant food box.
This dish was touted as miraculous by the wicked monk, who claimed that eating it could cure all diseases, prolong life, and even grant immortality.
However, to preserve this dish for a thousand years requires extremely special conditions, and the secret behind it is probably only known to the demonic monk himself.
To ensure the dish's mystique, he also arranged for someone to guard it, strictly prohibiting anyone from getting close.
Besides the terrifying food, the sorcerer also designed a fictional deity for the emperor.
This main god rides on a Qilin, has three faces, and looks extremely strange.
The three faces had different expressions: some were ferocious and terrifying, some were cold and ruthless, and some had a strange smile, as if they were looking down on all things in the world and controlling the fate of everyone.
The chief god's companions are beings called shitas, which are tall, incredibly strong, with bluish-black skin and a putrid stench.
Their duty is to capture corpses for the god to enjoy.
As for the servants of the Lord God, they were a kind of black slaves.
These slaves were thin and dark-skinned, with limbs and necks that could be stretched out at will, as if they had no bones.
They were responsible for serving the chief god at the feast in the Corpse Kingdom. They were careful with every move, fearing that the slightest mistake would bring about their death.
In the banquet of the Corpse Kingdom, the host of the banquet is naturally the fictional image of the main god.
The shaman roams the grasslands, and once he detects anyone approaching, he uses his strange powers to control their consciousness.
These controlled individuals will involuntarily consume the stone mole, which emits a special odor that attracts shamans.
After that, they would be driven by the shaman into a small grove of trees.
There, as if driven by an invisible force, they dug themselves into the ground and eventually suffocated to death.
The Sita would then use a mysterious method of "shepherding corpses" to send these bodies back to the Corpse Kingdom through underground passages, arranging them as if they were guests eating at a banquet, as if a grand feast were being held.
Those black slaves were actually members of the Zhang family who were being enslaved.
They originally had their own lives and dignity, but they were ruthlessly conquered because of the emperor's greed and the evil plans of the sorcerer monk.
Before being buried alive with the dead, they would suffer an extremely cruel punishment.
The sorcerer monk would order people to use special tools to remove their bones. The whole process was extremely painful. Amidst the screams of agony, the bodies of the Zhang family members gradually changed. Their skin and flesh became soft, and their limbs and necks could be stretched at will, eventually transforming them into that terrifying black shadowy figure.
During the feast in the land of corpses, they could only silently endure humiliation and suffering, serving the Lord God and other monsters, becoming pitiful victims of this evil banquet.
