50. Shengmen? Death's door?
When a few people went up the stairs, Yang Da shouted, "Look, this courtyard is so big." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ He stepped out of the arch first. Qin Longxiu and Xue ruthlessly followed.
When he walked out of the arch after the sun, he only felt his suppressed heart relax: it was a good feeling to see the light again, especially when the lights here were not ordinary.
When they looked up, they saw that in the corner of the four walls, a torch was planted high there. Four corners, a total of four torches illuminate the entire stone chamber.
The top of this large room is also pitch black. And the most striking thing here is that in front of them, there is a huge square stone. The stone block was as wide as this chamber, only on the edge of the wall
Two small gaps were left.
There was also a crack under the boulder, as if it was being held up by something. And the height of the boulder is as high as two people. Looking at its entire volume, it is almost one-fifth as large as this stone chamber.
The huge stone lay in front of them, and when they looked at it, something was wrong: there seemed to be no door here!
"Why is there no exit here?" Jean Ryu-so spotted the problem, "Is it behind this big rock?" He looked up at the stone.
"Huh? That's right? How come there is no door! Yang Da also shouted, "This stone is so big, do we have to push it open to open the door?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly "rolled" on the ground, and they were over
The arched stone door at the back suddenly closed.
At the same time, they heard a roaring sound that shook the ground.
When the arch was closed, the face of the sun changed, and he hurried back to open it again. But no matter how much he tried to knock on it, the door remained unmoved. Naqin Longxiu also frowned when he saw it. Then they listened
to the loud noise.
"I was thinking about how to push this big stone, but I didn't think that it ......opened on its own," Yang Da shouted excitedly, only to see that the stone was slowly moving towards them.
When he looked back, he gasped.
Qin Longxiu had already screamed: "Oops, this stone is going to crush us into meatloaf!" β
Yang Dajian said, and his happy expression immediately stiffened - the boulder almost crossed half of the stone chamber at once, and he saw clearly the grim situation from which they had nowhere to escape.
Qin Longxiu had already rushed forward, shouting, "Big man, go and stop the stone from coming over." He pressed his hands against the boulder and tried to push it in the opposite direction. Where does Yang Da dare to delay,
Two steps over, and the whole person was on top. By his side, the sun had already rushed over. At this time, even Xue Ruthless also stretched out his hand to push the boulder.
The four of them all knew the consequences of the boulder squeezing over, and they all used their strength to eat, especially Yang Da, who was suffocated red with too much force.
But even with their resistance to be reckoned with, the stone still slowly pressed over mercilessly, pushing all four of their bodies back.
Seeing that the stone was getting tighter and tighter, he simply let go of his hand, hurriedly took out the dagger and shouted: "This is not a way, we can't resist it at all!" β
Yang Da was still leaning against the stone, and shouted: "My mother, what should I do?" β
Covering the sun had pulled through the snow mercilessly, cut the belt with a dagger, and said urgently: "We have to find something hard to hold against the wall!" β
Yang shouted, "Where is this hard thing? β
Qin Longxiu said: "The big knife in your hand may be of some use!" β
Yang Dacai suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" β
At this point, there was a look of horror on everyone's faces, for the boulder had almost driven them to the wall. Snow Ruthless's eyes glazed over, and she only watched the stone hiss.
"Now we have put our hope in this sword!" Let's lean against the wall, use our hands to exert a little more force, God willingly this stone can stop! β
The stone was pressed down in front of them as he spoke, and the three of them leaned their backs against the wall, their hands stretched out, and each of them bowed their heads with all their might.
A miracle happened, and the boulder stopped moving for a while. Four people, plus a knife, the strength is really extraordinary.
Qin Longxiu exclaimed excitedly: "We succeeded!" Everyone looked up and looked at the boulder in front of them, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But before they could celebrate, the boulder turned out to be again
Suddenly, he trembled, as if he wanted to break free from the obstacle and squeeze it again. The four of them hurriedly used all their strength to support the stone wall.
Who knew that the boulder also used brute force, and the resistance of the four people could no longer work, and it pressed over the slightest bit.
The four of them were taken aback when they saw this, and the hand became more and more full force, and Yang Da's arm was still "gurgling" because of the exertion.
It was their desperation that made the boulder soothe. But because of their overexertion, some people even trembled for a while.
"I can't bear it anymore!" Qin Longxiu suddenly opened his mouth with difficulty. I don't know if it's because I'm trying too hard, but his tone sounds weird.
Hearing this, his heart was sour, wasn't that his own desperate voice! He turned his head and saw Qin Longxiu's face turned around. That face was painful, desperate, frightened, and when he saw it, he was shocked.
In fact, he also knows that his current situation is not like this!
Only you know your own experience, but when you see other people's expressions showing, that feeling is extremely shocking. He was stunned for a moment, he had seen this expression more than once. He thought
He used to see people, and the critically ill patient used to look at him like this. And on the battlefield, the person who was killed also showed this expression of despair and helplessness before he died.
It's a mixture of helplessness, humiliation, and anger, but it's mixed with fear, despair, pain, and all of it is suppressed in my heart. But in the face of all this, you are so restrained that you are powerless, not even the slightest move
You can't play, as long as you move, you will be crushed immediately.
The four of them didn't dare to let up in the slightest, but even if they broke their arms, they still couldn't stop the boulder from advancing.
"It's over, the knife is going to break!" Yang Da suddenly shouted.
When a few people were busy looking over, they saw that the knife with the boulder on top was bent a little bit.
If they can't even resist the knife, it means that all of them will be compacted here almost without suspense, and the result can be imagined.
"Hurry up!" Yang shouted loudly and desperately. In fact, there is no need for him to say it, they also understand the situation at the moment. Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads again, and tried their last bit of strength.
It didn't work, but they still felt the tremendous power of the boulder crushing it, and that force was so great that it was impossible to match. The force was approaching step by step, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
Just as everyone was still trying their best to resist in the end, the sun suddenly opened his mouth: "Xiucai, you step on me and go to it, turn over and see if there is a mechanism to control the stone!" β
Qin Longxiu looked at him and said bitterly, "But you ......" he said so, which meant that they only kept the hope of life to themselves, and they had no chance to go up at all. In other words, they are about to
Stay down there forever.
Holding on to the stone arm, the sun shouted with difficulty, "Hurry, there is no time!" β
Qin Longxiu looked at him, gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet together, kicked his feet in both directions, and he jumped on the shoulders of the sun; Then the sun lifted him, and he jumped onto the narrow stone wall. When the sun looks up,
He had disappeared between the stone walls. At this moment, the knife also "dang" on the ground and snapped open.
The boulder "whirred" and squeezed towards them without hindrance.
"It's over, I can't imagine that we died here!" Yang was crying and wailing there.
Seeing this, Xue ruthlessly gave up his resistance. She exclaimed and pulled her arm close to him, closing her eyes in distraction.
"Xiucai, hurry!" Yang screamed loudly, the last straw was on him, and he still had this last hope.
"I'm coming!" Qin Longxiu's bitter voice came, right above their heads. He stretched his legs into the gap, as if he wanted to come down.
"Xiucai, you go up!" The sun tried to stop him, but Qin Yongxiu ignored him and just lay there and didn't move.
"Isn't there a switch?" Yang Da was still asking.
Qin Longxiu shook his head: "I've looked for it, but there is no one at all!" β
"If you don't, you can find a way, what are you going to do when you run down!"
Qin Longxiu shook his head again: "There is no way, we have to die, die together......" His voice choked and looked down from above in despair.
The blacksmith took the lead and descended the stairs, and the little one walked last, empty and pulseless.
At the end of the staircase, there is a half-arched corridor that is slightly higher than a person, and this staircase opens in the middle of this corridor. A torch was planted at the end of the staircase.
When the four of them got down the stairs, they saw a torch at the end of each side of the road. Several people stood on the road, although the torch was dozens of meters away, but the stone slabs on the ground and walls were decorated
It looks smooth and clean, but it doesn't affect their vision.
Seeing this, Kongwumai said: "The underground in this cinnamon fragrance is really different!" It seems that we expected it to be true. β
The blacksmith looked left and right, and then walked to the right sidewalk. Several men followed him.
From time to time, he looked up at the stone walls on both sides, which were made of stone slabs of uniform size, neatly arranged until the end. But the ground was a simple hard dirt road.
When a few people walked under the torch at the end, they looked a little strange and said, "Is this the end?" It seems that there is no way! But he saw the blacksmith look solemnly at the wall in front of him. I saw him put
His hand tapped lightly on it twice, and then he pressed one of the stone slabs hard, and suddenly there was a "rolling" sound, and the closed wall actually opened inward.
Both of them were taken aback and glanced at each other. Then the blacksmith went in first.
The two of them didn't dare to lag behind, and hurriedly followed him, but cautiously looked around and overhead.
As soon as they entered, they saw the sealed stone chamber, the same dark chamber from which they had fallen.
They looked into the room, but at first glance they saw the dead body lying on the groundβthe corpse of the ghost king.
He stepped forward and inspected the corpse, then he got up and looked at the gloomy secret room, and immediately turned back to the crowd: "You wait for me here, I'll go outside and arrange some support!" He didn't pay attention to it
Xiao Qi reacted when he wanted to say something, turned around and went out.
Kongwumai also looked at his departing back, and said, "You see that this place is eerie and complicated, and we have more manpower, just to catch them all!" β
The blacksmith looked over the whole chamber, went to the archway, and looked at the iron arrows in the first row of the door.
Kongwuwu also walked to the corpse, squatted down to look at the corpse, and said, "It should be less than two hours after he died!" β
"Someone should have entered this door, and we're going to enter from here." The blacksmith stood in front of the door and said.
Kongwumai stepped forward and said, "You mean, that neighbor of yours, that is, the husband of this lady, passed through here?" β
Blacksmith: "That's how it should be!" β
Kongwuwei looked at the sharp arrows stuck in the wall and said, "I don't know what the purpose of these arrows is here?" β
The blacksmith said, "These arrows were accidentally triggered by the man who opened this door. When he opened the door, these hidden weapons hidden deep in the stone wall were shot in all directions, with the aim of killing those who entered! β
"But the arrows don't seem to have hit anyone, and the person over there was killed by a knife wound." He looked at the two of them and said, "This neighbor of yours seems to be a little difficult, maybe he is in there at the moment."
γ It's so dangerous here, just in case, we'd wait for someone to have enough before going in! β
The blacksmith did not reply, but stood still. Kong Wumai turned around and looked at the corpse again, frowned, and said, "This person is a wanted criminal by the government, but he is hiding in this underground. It seems that the owner here is not only dark
It is a great crime to set up a basement to murder people, and to harbor and shield criminals! β
Xiao Mi listened and said a little eagerly: "If the sun comes here, wouldn't it be more auspicious?" β
The blacksmith said: "You see that these arrows didn't hit him, I guess it should be fine!" β
Xiao Mi said anxiously: "It's all so dangerous here, I don't know if it will be more sinister inside?" I don't know what happened to him? β
Kongwumai looked at her and said, "Let's prepare, if he is still inside, we have the ability to completely rescue him." β
As he was talking, he saw a gap in the doorway. He was followed by six headhunters, each with a crossbow in his hand, a waist knife hanging from his waist, and two torches in their hands.
As soon as he entered, he whispered a few words to the empty pulse, and then the empty pulse motioned for the blacksmith to open the door.
The blacksmith didn't say anything, but pointed the iron gun at the wall, and the door opened inward.
When they all went in and saw the corpses of snakes and insects all over the ground, everyone was taken aback.
Kongwumai opened his mouth wide: "I can't imagine that there are so many giant monsters here, no wonder there are people in the world who have lost their traces from time to time, but they have entered the belly of this beast!" β
Xiao Qi saw the bloody scene, and was so frightened that he hid beside the blacksmith for a while. The blacksmith was still there.
He commanded his men to hold torches, and looked inside and out, up and down, but stood in front of the blacksmith with a frown. "It seems that this behind the scenes is really extraordinary!" He looked up at the blacksmith and said, "Here."
Only the corpse of the monster, it seems that your neighbor was lucky enough to make it through the second level. But if you can kill so many monsters at once, you shouldn't be able to do it alone! β
When he heard this, he raised his torch and squatted on the ground with his men, and looked around carefully. They concluded: "There should be four of them!" The size of the sole pattern of the four footprints is completely different! β
Gapless: "Four people should be able to deal with these monsters with ease, if they have weapons." "He actually said this to the two blacksmiths." We didn't find it here, and we continued to follow them
Going deeper, it looks like we're going to have to move faster! Find them before they get into the wrong! β
The blacksmith did not wait for him to speak, but went to the snake's ear chamber and pressed the door opener.
Empty Gap watched him come out of it and walked directly to the open stone door.
The group walked down the aisle and came to the door of life and death. Two identical doors. The word 'life' is written on the first switch of the door, and the word 'death' is written on the other.
The two stone doors were closed. Seeing that the blacksmith and the empty gap were both looking at the door, he said for a while: "These two doors are a little strange, which side should we take?" β
"Go to the door!" The blacksmith had pressed the door and walked in. Xiao Qi followed him.
Empty walked behind the two of them, looked up overhead, and was silent.
"You said that the top is so open, if you stand on it, wouldn't everything here be in full view?" Empty Pulse said beside Empty Gap.
"We can't go up to such a high wall!"
"There is such a ghost place under this ground, it seems that the people behind this scene are unlucky, and it has finally fallen into our hands!"
Empty: "We can't take the murderer lightly when we don't get it." And we don't know how many people have died here, and even our lives are not yet fully controlled
In your own hands! β
Kong Wumai nodded: "Anyway, we are doubly careful, there are dangers lurking here, and we have to be on the lookout for sudden dangers at all times." He said as he looked at the group behind him. Those officers and soldiers had already cheered up, he
Who of you has ever seen such a strange scene, everyone is furious when they see it, and everyone is cautious and vigilant, and they dare not have a trace of carelessness.
The group walked, and had already passed through a few life and death gates, and saw that they had been walking with the life gate open, and the stone gate aisles were all exactly the same, he couldn't help but ask for a while: "It's strange, how can there be that."
How many of the same doors, what's going on? β
The blacksmith said, "This is a trick to confuse those who come in." This road can only go to Shengmen, and there are 81 in total. There are also 81 gates of death, but if you open them by mistake, you will definitely die. β
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. Even Xiao Qi couldn't help but look at him.
Empty Gap watched him lead them all the way, and now finally asked the question in his heart: "Have you been here?" β
The blacksmith paused for a moment and turned back.
Everyone stopped, and all looked at him.
The blacksmith was silent for a few moments before he spoke, "I heard about it from a man who escaped from here!" As he spoke, he walked on.
He didn't say anything more, he knew that he was only perfunctory. Since the other party doesn't want to say, it's useless for you to ask. But since there are people who know this place well, then of course they are much more at ease. party
Just follow him and go forward.
They walked through a few more doors, and then Xiao Qi held his hand against the wall, and leaned there for a moment. Seeing that her face was pale, the blacksmith hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" β
Xiao Qi gasped: "I feel a little dizzy!" β
The blacksmith said, "Since it's uncomfortable, let's rest before leaving!" β
Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I can still go, it's important to find someone now!" She was about to go on as soon as she got to her feet, but she stumbled, and if it hadn't been for the blacksmith's quick hand, she would have almost fallen
Go.
Seeing this, he said, "Seeing that your body is too weak, you can't walk!" I think so, let's let us carry our lady without a pulse! What do you think? β
In this way, the group went all the way again.
Gapless kept an eye on the stone door all the way, and he took a closer look at each door. The blacksmith noticed his movements, and as he walked, he said, "That must be a signpost that someone left on purpose, he."
I should have been worried that I had entered the maze and made a mark to find the way! β
Empty: "And it's not long after the mark!" β
Xiao Mi heard that his face was happy, and said, "That is, they marked it to cover the sun?" β
Empty: "Quite possibly! β
Xiao Qi: "That's great, it means that they are fine, and I'm worried that they will go to the wrong door!" β
The blacksmith said, "I thought the same thing as you, but as soon as I saw this mark, I knew that we were thinking too much!" β
The group continued to pass through the door. I don't know how long I walked, and the people behind me were a little impatient. The blacksmith still kept opening the door and opening it again. Only Void followed the blacksmith in silence. And that emptiness
pulse, because of the back of a person, I was a little out of breath for a while.
Xiao Qi asked him on his back: "Are you tired, do you want to rest?" β
The empty pulse lifted her body up, and smiled: "Your weight is nothing." In the past, when we trained, something heavier than you, I could run more than ten miles with one breath on my back! β
Xiao Qi smiled, seeing the sweat oozing from his forehead, she stretched out her sleeves to help him wipe it, and said no, she just lowered her head and walked forward. Seeing that he seemed to be embarrassed, Xiao Qi just wanted to say more,
But he looked at the front and said, "Huh": "They seem to have stopped!" He carried her on his back, and saw the blacksmith and the void standing in front of the stone gate.
They seemed hesitant.
Kongwuwei also looked at the stone gate and said strangely: "Why are the words of these two doors reversed?" β
"And there are no arrows here, I don't know which door they entered after they got here!" β
"Since they know that they will die if they enter the door of death, and they have left a mark, of course they will not let go of their lives, but will kill themselves!" β
Gapless: "There is no mark here, which seems to be a bit abnormal!" β
"You mean, these two doors suddenly flipped over, and they may have accidentally walked into this dead door?" β
The blacksmith opened his mouth at this time: "This possibility cannot be ruled out!" β
Kong Wumai was stunned: "Then what should I do?" Shall we go in and have a look? β
"Of course you have to look at it!" The blacksmith then pressed the door of the birth door, and the door opened inward.
As the door was opened, there were two cries of terror from withinβand beside the doorway, in a large bright stone room, two men with hideous faces, each holding a torch in one hand and a large knife in the other,
And he stood before them.
- The two of them stood at the doorway and looked at them dumbfounded.
