Chapter 143: The Altar
After Luo Fan and Hao Wenjie had dinner, they took two sets of field combat uniforms from Wu Yongqiang's men and changed them on.
Their own clothes were long gone, and besides, they went down again, not only to be prepared for the grave robbers, but also to bring more supplies.
After greeting Assistant Li and the people left behind, they went down to the ground from the entrance of the cave again and walked inside.
On Qiao Lin's side, she and Zhang Hu led people into the underground labyrinthine cave from the left side.
Because of adequate preparation, field tactical flashlights and searchlights illuminate the front, which is also conducive to timely observation of the terrain and spotting others.
A few hours later, they walked out of the labyrinth and came to a spacious cave where they could rest for the time being.
"Team Qiao!" Zhang Hu walked over and sat next to Qiao Lin and handed her a bottle of water, Qiao Lin took it, opened the lid and took a sip, "We used a sonar detector, and we responded in these locations. As he spoke, he pointed to the dots on the map in his hand to show Jolene.
Jolene took it and took a look, at least three places were in unknown areas outside the map marking, and there were other dense dots, I don't know what they represented, maybe it was just a mouse in the mountains.
"Sonar sonor?" asked Jolene, who really didn't know they had that thing with them, "Did the terrain detect it?"
"Almost!" Zhang Hu replied, "This is a miniature detector, the coverage area is too small, and the display is also a plane curve, and the specific terrain may be more complicated." ”
Jolene nodded, she knew this, she pointed to the nearest dot and said, "I suggest starting with the closest point to us." ”
Zhang Hu nodded, "I think so too." ”
Half an hour later, everyone set off again, and the direction was naturally the place Qiao Lin and Zhang Hu had said before.
That place was none other than the six zhangs, and after a circle in it, they finally returned to the right direction, and if they continued in a straight line, they would reach the place that Luo Fan had seen that was like a dungeon.
But the underground environment is complex, and it is not so easy, almost all of them are walking in circles.
This place, as soon as they arrived, they let out cheers as they found an ancient altar.
The underground river is two meters wide and is surrounded by a tall platform with steps leading to the top, like a pyramid left by the ancient Mayans.
Underneath the altar is a large platform with eight bronze tripods and two stone bridges connecting the underground river.
It's just that the position they are in is not good, it is a cliff twenty or thirty meters high, and a karst cave behind them comes out of here.
"Liuzhang, it seems that we really went right this time!" Brother Kui also showed a smile on his face, and the others were even more excited and a little carried away, and they took out the ropes they brought with them and began to prepare.
Liuzhang has always had a hanging heart, and after seeing this, he finally let go, and he didn't go the wrong way!
When you see the altar, it means that you are not far from the main tomb.
"There's something up there!" Suddenly, someone shouted pointing to the highest point of the altar.
All eyes were on it.
The top of the altar is also a platform, and there is also a bronze tripod on it, but this bronze tripod is much more complicated than the one below, not only the pattern is more cumbersome, but even the top has a tripod cover, and the tripod cover is exquisitely carved and cast, and people can't take their eyes off it at a glance under the pipeline of the flashlight.
The weirdest thing is that the tripod seems to be glowing slightly.
"Turn off the flashlight!" Liuzhang shouted, and the flashlights were turned off one by one.
After adjusting to the sudden darkness, the bronze tripod on the altar gave off a faint glow, and then everything around it gradually revealed its shape.
"There should be a Night Pearl in there!" said Brother Kui.
"Night Pearl!" When the others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, Night Pearl!
How big does this have to be, or how many to light up such a large space!
Although the light is very weak, it does not affect people's vision, a bit like the afterglow of the evening, which makes people want to climb up to see what is going on.
Rokujo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and looked back and forth at the cliff, a little farther away seemed to be shorter, "Over there, down from that side!" he said, pointing there.
The subordinates were optimistic about the position and ran over there together, for fear that they would not be the first to climb to the top to see the Night Pearl.
Although he won't give the Night Pearl to himself, the rewards after going out will only be more, not less.
They fixed the rope on the rock wall, threw the other end down, and immediately someone slid down the rope.
Liuzhang and Kui Ge were not in a hurry, and waited until they all went down before they came down from above.
When I went down to the bottom, I felt the grandeur and grandeur of this altar again.
The simple and solemn momentum came to their faces, making these people subconsciously relax their steps and hold their breath.
Finally, they were about to step onto the stone bridge and walk up to the altar, when Brother Kui suddenly reminded in a loud voice: "Pay attention to your step!"
Those who were about to step on the platform quickly stopped, looked carefully at their feet, looked back and smiled, "It's okay, it's all stone!" As he spoke, one foot had already stepped on it.
The others saw that he was fine, so they no longer worried, and stepped onto the platform from the stone bridge.
Sure enough, nothing happened, they slowly walked to the middle, and when they passed by the first bronze tripod, they found that the bronze tripod was more than one person tall, and the four pillars were all waist thick, and they couldn't see the inside.
One by one, their eyes showed greed, and they were stroking with trembling hands.
Then a man hugged him and shouted, "It's mine, it's mine!"
When Liuzhang heard this, he looked up, and just wanted to get angry, but there was another person who was the same as that person, holding the bronze tripod and shouting.
Immediately after the third, fourth......
"That's not right!" Liuzhang shouted suddenly, running over to pull someone.
"Don't go over!" said Brother Kui, "There is a formation here!"
But it was too late, Liuzhang stepped into the range of the bronze tripod, his mind flickered, and then looked forward, a beautiful woman sat on a pile of gold and silver treasures and beckoned to him, "Come on! Come on! These are all yours!"
Liuzhang's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he showed the same eyes as those before and pounced.
Brother Kui was anxious when he saw this, and he didn't want to hide his ability, so he took out a yellow paper talisman from his pocket, bit a finger, and quickly thought about something in his mouth, and then took a step and slammed it on Liuzhang's body.
Liuzhang's body trembled, turned his head, and looked at Brother Kui's gaze with chaos, and gradually came to his senses.
He looked at one of the pillars of the bronze tripod in his arms, and quickly let go of his hand and pushed back a few steps, and the cold sweat on his forehead came down.
"What's going on?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Psychedelic Array!" Kui Ge replied stunned.
"They ......" Liuzhang looked at the ugliness of the people brought one by one, and then thought that he was like this just now, and suddenly felt a little panicked.
"It'll be fine if you pull people out!" Brother Kui didn't want to waste yellow paper talismans on these people, and besides, he didn't bring that much.
When Liuzhang heard this, he didn't delay, he couldn't complete the task assigned by Huo Kunting alone, so he immediately stepped forward and threw them on the bridge one by one.
Two of them thought that Liuzhang was here to rob them of treasure, so they picked up their arms and beat them, but Liuzhang was forced to fight back.
Brother Kui was not idle, and threw these people out of the range of the bronze tripod with him.
The two of them also sat on the edge of the bridge tiredly, "snorting" and panting.
After a long while, the people lying on the ground slowly recovered their strength, shook their heads and sat up, looked at each other and felt that they had accidentally had a dream just now.
"Hmph!" Brother Kui snorted coldly and told him what had just happened, and those people were a little scared in hindsight.
The reason for the fear is mainly what Brother Kui said, "If you can't get out of the illusion world, you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life!"
"So what now?" someone asked.
Liuzhang gritted his teeth and looked at the tall altar in front of him, and said unwillingly: "Let's take a look first!"
Then he turned his gaze to Brother Kui, he knew that Huo Kunting definitely didn't send him to point at someone casually, just with the hand just now, it confirmed his idea even more.
"Wait a while, I'll see if the formation can be broken!" Since Brother Kui knew that he had revealed the truth, he simply didn't hide it, and said it directly.
Liuzhang withdrew his gaze and stared at the altar without saying a word.
Everyone sat there in silence and looked ahead like Liuzhang.
The seemingly empty big platform, just because of what happened just now, now I feel very weird when I look at everything.
As soon as I went up, I encountered the psychedelic array, so what else would I encounter if I went inside?
When it was almost time to rest, Brother Kui stood up, "I'll take a look!" After speaking, the person had already walked inside.
He has been following Huo Kunting for a long time, and he has been in the Huo family since he can remember, he only knows that Huo Kunting is the master of the Huo family, and he is just following the housekeeper to do chores.
His parents didn't know who it was, and they didn't know where they came from, everyone told him that Huo Kunting was his master.
Therefore, the idea instilled from childhood to adulthood is that life is the Huo family, and death is the ghost of the Huo family!
Since he was eight years old, Huo Kunting suddenly wanted to teach him something on a whim, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, he was finally different from the rest of the Huo family.
The next day, he sat in a room with several other children of about the same age and began to study, and he realized that he was not a special person, and that there were so many people with him, and he was somewhat disappointed.
At the beginning, the Huo family taught them to read and write, and after half a year, they began to learn some obscure things.
He doesn't know much, but he is very smart, and he has learned to read words and emotions since he was a child, and he knows that only by learning the best in these children can he be favored by Huo Kunting.
So, a year later, he was finally praised and taught by the housekeeper himself, and occasionally Huo Kunting would come to see him.
Many years later, he finally got his first mission, and he was the first person in his group to receive the mission, and he also hoped that this mission would make Huo Kunting look up to him even more.
He didn't complain at all, and even followed Liuzhang here with a hint of joy.
Retracting his thoughts, Brother Kui stopped, and not far in front of him was the bronze tripod, he observed the bronze tripod, and then looked at the position of the other bronze tripods.
The knowledge of the formation that I have learned in my heart is swept through my mind one by one, this is the gossip psychedelic array.
The general formation, as long as you find the eye of the formation, you can break it.
But the Bagua Array is different, almost every direction may or may not be the eye of the formation, so the first test of the first task that Brother Kui took appeared.
He didn't have the ability to break this formation, so he had to find a way to pass.
He was churning things about the Bagua Psychedelic Array in his mind, and his steps suddenly moved, taking every step according to the method of the Nine Palaces Bagua, and in a blink of an eye, he walked out of the range of the Bronze Ding, and came to the bottom of the altar, and he walked out of the range of the formation.
Liuzhang couldn't help but stand up, looked at Brother Kui from afar, Brother Kui smiled slightly, and walked back, "Follow me, step on my footprints!"
After speaking, he turned around and walked forward again, Liuzhang followed closely behind, his eyes were firmly fixed on his feet, and the people behind him also looked at the feet of the person in front of him carefully, for fear that if he took another wrong step, he would become the same as before and never get out again.
