11. General mound 5

The passage was very long and airtight, but you could feel the wind blowing from the other end, so that the two of them would not suffocate to death.

The stone walls, like the caves, are mossy on one side and dry like desert on the other, and they automatically converge in a line at the top of the passage and extend forward.

I don't know how long they walked, and two forks appeared in front of them, the hole on the left side of the road was full of sand and lifeless, and the right side was covered with moss, and the sound of water droplets could be faintly heard.

"Which way?" Jian Tianyuan asked Tu Menqing.

Tumenqing lingered around the two openings for a while, and finally pointed to the vibrant opening of the cave on the right and said, "This one." ”

Jian Tianyuan walked up to him, made a semicircle under his feet, walked to the hole on the left and said, "Go this way." With that, he turned around and walked in alone.

After he entered, Tumenqing withdrew with a smile and followed.

The stone wall of this passage is inlaid with glowing crystals, Jian Tianyuan walked in front, and said as he walked: "I just wanted to test you just now, but it is normal for you to choose the wrong layman, although the road on the right is overgrown with plants, there is no wind blowing out of it, and the road on the left can feel the wind when you stand at the entrance of the cave, from our theory this is called Shengmen, if you look at it from a scientific point of view, it proves that this road is connected to the outside world." After speaking, he glanced back at Tumenqing proudly, then turned his head and continued to walk forward and asked, "I just forgot to ask you, what happened to you when you were by the lake?" ”

Tumenqing walked behind him, stared at the back of his head and said, "I can't remember exactly, it seems that I was summoned by something." ”

Jian Tianyuan pursed his lips and didn't speak again.

The passage was not long, and after walking for a while, it was blocked by a stone gate.

The place is round in shape, not communicative to the outside world, but bright as day. Outside the huge stone gate, there are two stone carving beasts of different shapes, the tiger head snake body on the left, the tiger's mouth is open and its fangs are exposed, and the snake's tail is coiled up and rolled into a circle to support the body and stand outside the door. The one on the right is even more terrifying, it looks like a rhinoceros but has a pair of antlers, a ring in the middle of the nose, a long beard hanging to the ground, a bend of the front hooves, and kick backwards, looking like it is rushing at any time.

Jian Tianyuan pulled Tumenqing back a few steps, looked up at the giant gate, and saw two words engraved on the door - Xuanmen. A round bead is carved on the top, and seven wyverns with different expressions are circling around it. It is said that it is a flying dragon, but it is not very similar, these flying dragons actually have a pair of human ears, Jian Tianyuan placed Tumen Qing, stepped forward to take a look, took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a human ear, he tried to reach out and touch, the touch of the stone carving was like a living thing, and he touched his hand and was greasy.

Jian Tianyuan intuitively felt danger, and regretted that he had chosen this path for his death, and when he wanted to turn back, the way he came disappeared.

"Where's the road?" Jian Tianyuan muttered to himself in confusion.

Tumen Qing checked everywhere to see if there was a mechanism, and found an ant nest under a stone wall, and was about to reach out to touch it, but when he came to it, he hesitated to withdraw his hand, took out a pen from his pocket, poked the small hole, and calmly replied: "We disappeared not long after we came in." ”

Jian Tianyuan didn't expect him to answer, and the answer was even more unexpected: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The small hole became bigger and bigger, and a stone trough appeared at the bottom, and there were still some dried blood stains on the surface of the stone trough, Tumen Qing was excited about his discovery and turned his head and called Jian Tianyuan: "Jian Tianyuan, come and see!" ”

Jian Tianyuan was made curious by his excitement, walked over and bent down to look down, was hopeful by this discovery, and immediately forgot to question Tumen Qing about it.

The two began to dig along the stone trough, Jian Tianyuan poked the sand on the ground with a peachwood sword, fortunately, the sand was soft, and the stone trough was not buried deep.

Jian Tianyuan was tired and sweaty, the screws on the peach wood sword were loosened due to the excavation, and Tumen Qing was also tired enough, sitting on the ground next to Jian Tianyuan to rest.

The stone trough on the ground was like a dry canal, staggered into a swastika, and finally led to the huge stone gate, and every other section on the surface of the stone trough could see dried and blackened bloodstains, until the junction with the stone gate disappeared.

How much blood must be shed is enough, I am afraid that when the blood reaches the door, the person will also lose too much blood and die.

Jian Tianyuan leaned against the stone wall and complained in his heart.

"What the hell is that?" Jian Tianyuan asked, pointing to the stone carving.

Tumen Qing glanced up and said: "The one on the left is called Swallowing the Sky, it is said that opening the mouth can swallow the heavens and the earth, and the one on the right is called Fuxi Niu, which is infinitely powerful, and it is a landslide and the earth is cracked." ”

Jian Tianyuan hissed as if he had a toothache, and continued to ask, "What about the door?" It's not like a dragon. ”

Tumen Qing's eyes were dark, and he said in a cold voice: "It's just a pickled thing that eats dragon meat and wants to ascend to heaven, and it has been turned into these four different things, although it has gained immortality, it does not belong to the six realms, and it is not tolerated by heaven and earth." Speaking of which, he seems to have more to say.

Jian Tianyuan listened to his half-literate words, and even guessed half-understood, and made a request: "Cultural people, can we speak Mandarin?" Mandarin in the vernacular. ”

Tumenqing didn't know what he was thinking, his train of thought was interrupted, he turned his head to look at him, and stopped talking.

When it was almost over, Jian Tianyuan stood up, looked down at Tumenqing's hair, reached out and rubbed it, withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and pretended to be calm: "Let's look to see if there are any other institutions that can get out." After speaking, without waiting for Tumenqing's reaction, he rummaged around by himself.

Tumen Qing sat on the ground and was stunned for a long time, and slowly came back to his senses and rubbed up.

The two quietly searched for a way out in a strange embarrassment. Jian Tianyuan searched for a while and found nothing, standing in the middle of the swastika and sighing in frustration, suddenly he lowered his head and seemed to find something. He half-crouched and looked at something on the ground. It turned out that there was a circular groove in the middle of the swastika, the four sides of the groove communicated with the swastika, and the two flying dragons at the bottom of the groove were entangled into one word, Jian Tianyuan lay on the ground and almost pasted it on his face to take a closer look, but he couldn't see it clearly, and then took out a magnifying glass from his bag, squinted one eye, and pouted his ass to study, it was actually a 'Jane' word.

Jian Tianyuan imitated the figure on the sand with his hand, wrote it four or five times, and finally verified his guess. This is the formation made by the ancestors of the Jian family, I don't know which generation of characters it is, using the Buddhist swastika as a formation, Jian Tianyuan recalled, feeling a little familiar, as if it appeared in "Xuanhuang Notes", but it is not completely consistent.

In "Xuanhuang Notes", this formation is called the swastika formation, I have to say that Jian Yunshen's name is really simple and rude, the main use of the formation is like a super high-end lock, which can block a guest without permission from the door, but the book does not say that the two fierce beasts at the door and the four on the door are not like it, and the one in front of him is obviously improved, if the guest key is not used or forcibly unlocked, he may face a more ferocious situation, Jian Tianyuan guessed.

But what is the key? Jian Tianyuan recalled the content of the book, and vaguely remembered that it mentioned that the array eye was in the center of the swastika, and now there is only one ghost-like character in the array eye, what can it mean? Do you want to engrave a radish stamp and stamp it?

Jian Tianyuan slandered his ancestors for being unreliable, while thinking of a way. At this time, Tumen Qing came to him and squatted down, looked at the word and said in surprise: "There are blood stains on it." After speaking, he pointed to the position of one of the dragon heads and showed it to Jian Tianyuan.

Jian Tianyuan picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the place where Tumen Qing was pointing, only to see a small black dot on the dragon's beard, and wiped it with his hand, it felt like grit and rust, some of it was stained on his fingers, and he sniffed it under his nose, and there was a faint smell of blood mixed with rust, such a small one can see how many carrots he has eaten, Jian Tianyuan looked at Tu Men Qing with a complicated gaze. Because he died when he was a child, his right eye vision is very poor, and he relies on his left eye to see things, and now he is secretly glad that Tumen Qing has good eyes, otherwise he may really be trapped here if he misses this clue.

Put the magnifying glass back in his bag, replaced it with a knife, Jian Tianyuan rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arm to cut his wrist to take blood, the moment the tip of the knife touched his wrist, he paused, turned his head and said to Tu Menqing: "You stand behind me." ”

Tumen Qing seemed to be extremely excited, and the heat in his eyes could burn Jian Tianyuan, and after listening to Jian Tianyuan's words, he retreated behind him. Jian Tianyuan felt that two holes had burned in his back, and even the wound on his wrist was not so painful. The wound was cut deeply, but the bleeding was slow, and it was only under his squeezing that two symbolic drops came out, which happened to drip on the words.

However, the two drops of blood bubbled up as if they had encountered a hot iron, and gradually spit out more blood from the two dragons' mouths, mixed with Jian Tianyuan's blood droplets, full of swastikas, extending to the stone gate, climbing up along the carved lines on the stone gate, until the ball was filled, only to hear the stone gate squeak, and slowly opened with the dust flying in the sky.

Jian Tianyuan wanted to sing excitedly, if it weren't for the bad timing, he might have to dance a dance, but reason told him not to make two mistakes at a critical moment. Tu Menqing stood behind Jian Tianyuan, watching the stone gate move to both sides little by little, and actually laughed happily, which surprised Jian Tianyuan. Then he thought about it, the child probably saw the hope of life, happy and stupid, and his heart was soft, and this happiness was brought by his tall, handsome and omnipotent person, so he rubbed his hand on Tumenqing's head, crossed the round groove and said, "Go in." ”

Tu Menqing didn't seem to feel it, and he didn't react at all, but his face was still paralyzed, but the excitement in his eyes was obvious. He crossed Jian Tianyuan with one step and entered the door first.

Jian Tianyuan slowed down half a step, and said as he walked by the door: "You kid, let you walk behind for your safety, in case there is anything ...... inside" He didn't finish speaking, he only felt that the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and the two fierce beasts at the door actually moved!

Jian Tianyuan ran wild with 10,000 alpacas in his heart: The ancestor of this pit father even added an anti-theft lock!
