Chapter 34: The White Tiger Palace
Bei Zhan, Liuhe Town (200 years ago):
The man sat against the wall and rested for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he saw the tea girl smiling sweetly, and gently draped him in a milky white shirt.www.biquge.info
"Awake? I'm not an inn here. The woman laughed.
"It's rude." Hua Zhong looked up, and the tea shop was still empty. The fragrance of women's clothing is refreshing. "Hibiscus Fragrance ......"
"What incense?" The tea seller didn't hear what Hua Zhong whispered.
"I mean the fragrance of tea, the joy of music, and the ...... of people here"
"What's wrong with people?" The woman's eyes widened and she stared sideways.
Hua Zhong's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he raised the teacup and drank it down, trying to relieve the embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the tea seller just added hot water, but it was difficult to get in. Hanaka spat all over the table......
The woman trembled slightly, covered her mouth and smiled: "The fragrance of this tea, you have to taste it slowly, the guest officer is too anxious to drink tea like this." Are you dissatisfied with our restaurant? ”
Hua Zhong shook his head and replied, "Good tea!" ”
"Of course. There is a spring well in our town, called Buwen. The well is famous for its good water, and the tea brewed with it is fragrant. ”
The door opened, and a girl wearing a pollen cigarette skirt walked in from the outside, and she jumped into the house with light steps, without even looking at Hua Zhong and the tea girl.
As soon as the pink girl entered the house, she poured herself tea and drank it in a big gulp.
"Yu'er! If you don't look for it during the day, where do you go to play? It's hard for me to take care of the tea shop by myself. ”
As soon as the tea seller saw the girl in the pink skirt, she opened her mouth to complain.
"No one came anyway......"
"Whoever said that, there is not a guest today. Quick, help me get the needle. ”
The girl named Yu'er walked to the side of the tea girl with a basket, and when she saw the so-called guest, she was instantly stunned.
"What is the girl going to do?" Hua Zhong couldn't understand why the tea girl folded up his sleeves, revealing the old scar.
"I just saw that you have a scar on your arm that is not healing. I have a craft that can turn ugliness into beauty. Would you like to try it? ”
Yu'er naturally saw the row of tooth scars, and the past was vivid. Her fingers, which tugged at the hem of her skirt, flushed with the press.
"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
The pink girl was silent, and just handed the needle to the tea girl.
"The guest officer is as beautiful as a flower, and even as a woman, I can't hide my jealousy. It's better to use flowers as the theme and tattoo thorns for you. Do you like any flowers on weekdays? ”
"Peach blossoms."
The tea seller lowered her head to apply needles, her dexterous hands did not stop for a moment, and the pink peach blossom petals followed the scar and lined the skin, leaping into ......
"You...... The girl's name ...... What should I call ......" Feeling the warmth of the other party's fingers on his arm, Hanaka was a little incoherent.
"Abram."

Labyrinth Passage:
"Master Wu Cheng took people to the passage on the left! I glanced at the map, and there seemed to be a room in the direction to the left. How strange this tomb is, I'm afraid they're already on the doorway! ”
Yuan Xing didn't care what Li Qiang said there, and looked for footprints by himself. A surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly rushed into the open Qinglong Stone Gate.
"Hey! Come back to Lao Tzu! ”
Li Qiang couldn't stop it, so he had to chase it out.
The distance between the two bloody footprints is ridiculously long! After Yuan Xing stepped past the left footprint, he ran for more than twenty steps before he saw the other right footprint. Who can go this far in one step? Could it be that the giants who left footprints were not successful?
The bald head chased after Yuan Xing for unknown reasons, and kept scolding and scolding!
"Fuck! I want you to save people with Lao Tzu! What are you doing chasing a footprint? ”
"If they're really trapped in the tomb, do you really think we can rescue them from the outside?"
Li Qiang sped up, stretched out his arms and slammed Yuan Xing into the rock wall, and pinched his neck with both hands. "Then I have to save people for Lao Tzu! Otherwise I'll fucking break your neck! ”
"I'm not going to die!"
Yuan Xing lifted his feet lightly, jumped off the ground, kicked him in the chest, and kicked him to the opposite wall. Yuan Xing pushed back against the rock wall, and one swooped forward, holding his arm against Li Qiang's throat.
"In this pit viper labyrinth, there are indeed people who can go in and out of the tombs without triggering the mechanism!" Yuan Xing pointed to the bloody footprints on the ground and said, "It doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost!" We've got to find him first! Those brothers of yours will have any hope of survival! ”
The bald head followed Yuan Xing all the way to find the bloodstains, and it was half an hour after chasing. And the imprint of the bloody footprints became shallower and shallower, until they completely disappeared at a fork in the road.
The two of them ran continuously for a long time, and their physical strength was at the limit, which would stop at the fork in the road and be out of breath.
"I didn't ...... Gone! ”
Yuan Xing waved his hand to signal silence. He remembers this place! The road forks here, Su Wuqian has taken them no less than three times before!
To test his guesses, he took the lead in a dead end. If Yuan Xing is not mistaken, there should be that familiar "landmark" here!
Sure enough, at the end of the road not far away, there lay a skeleton. The skeleton's costume is similar to the dry bones outside the Blue Dragon Tomb. It is estimated that he was also one of the tomb robbers eighty years ago, but he was lost here for some reason.
Su Wuqian said that when she first came here, the skeleton's finger got stuck in the crack in the rock wall. And the second time he saw the skeleton with Yuan Xing and Jiang Feng, the fingers of the corpse fell to the ground, and it was still an inch away from the rock wall.
What Yuan Xing saw now was different from the previous two times. The skeleton's fingers were at least one step away from the rock wall! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yuan Xing would really find it hard to believe that such an ordinary skeleton would not be able to move on its own?!
Yuan Xing examined the skeleton again, and it did not have any corpse qi infection, and there was no remnant of spells. If it can't move itself, then someone else must have moved it, so who will it be......
And what if it's not the skeleton that's moving, but the rock wall? Yuan Xing looked at the stone walls around him, becoming more and more puzzled.
Yuan Xing put his hand in the crack of the rock wall, and he actually felt a slight coolness.
There is air flowing! The outside of the rock wall is empty!
Li Qiang watched Na Yuanxing turn around and retreat a few steps, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Who knew that Yuan Xing suddenly accelerated and sprinted back, kicking hard at the crack in the rock wall. With a bang, Yuan Xing's right foot kicked through the stone wall, stuck in the gap and couldn't be recovered for a while.
"What the are you doing!"
"Come and help! Feed! I don't want you to pull me, I want you to break this stone wall! ”
Li Qiang is also a master of natural power, and he slammed his shoulder along the crack in the stone wall. The entire stone wall was endured by this savage impact and collapsed with a bang.
The two of them fell on their heads and faces with dirt and gravel, but the price was worth it. An arc-shaped clearing appeared in front of the two of them, where there were some old daily necessities. Moonlight shone in through the long, slender hole above, and they looked up to see the petals of the peach tree drifting in from the mouth of the well.
On the stone wall in the well, there are two Beizhan characters: do not smell.
Could it be that this is the bottom of the dry well in Taolin Village?!
"Bald! Earlier you said that the passage to the left of the entrance leads to where it leads? ”
"A burial chamber of a white tiger totem!"
……………………………………
White Tiger Tomb:
Blood flowed down the blade of the bone slashing knife and slowly flowed to Wu Cheng's palm.
Li Qiang endured the pain, desperately supported the spasmodic muscles, and opened the White Tiger Stone Gate little by little!
When the light shone into the tomb, everyone saw Wu Cheng's big knife stuck in Li Qiang's shoulder.
"Two masters!" The horse thieves cheer!
It's really powerful?! Wu Cheng was still holding the handle of the knife horizontally, without the slightest intention of retreating. And Li Qiang does not shy away, even if the blade is deep, he will open the stone gate to save people!
However, after the stone door was pushed open a crack, it could no longer move. At this width, a slightly burly adult has a hard time getting out even with his body on his side. Everyone recovered from the excitement and ran to the door to help Li Qiang pull the stone door.
Seeing that the zombies were all attracted to the door by the horse thief, Wu Cheng drew his knife and turned to the coffin, aiming directly at the crystal tiger fang.
At this moment, Yuan Xing stepped on Li Qiang's shoulder and rolled sideways from behind Li Qiang into the room. Yuan Xing landed right at the feet of the zombie, he didn't dare to get up, and rolled on the spot, away from the zombie's attack range. Then a fish leaped, climbed over two chains, and stepped into the coffin.
Wu Cheng picked up the tiger tooth that fell in the wooden coffin, but Yuan Xing raised his foot and kicked his wrist. Wu Cheng's arm shook, and the crystal tiger teeth flew into the air.
Yuan Xing took advantage of the inertia of the sprint to jump up again! Wu Cheng also reacted quickly, and immediately knocked Yuan Xing away with his burly body.
When the two of them land, each has a tiger tooth in their hands!
"Give me something!" Wu Cheng drew his sword with one hand and roared at Yuan Xing.
Yuan Xing glanced at the mural, no longer entangled himself, turned around and leaped up the white tiger stone statue. Based on the experience of the previous two times, the mechanism should be in this stone statue. The tiger tooth in his hand must be able to be inserted in the mouth of the white tiger.
Yuan Xing put his hand into the tiger's mouth and touched the two grooves, one left and one right. He picked one at random, pushed the tiger tooth inward, and felt the stone shaft mechanism touch. The white tiger's head suddenly changed, the tiger's ears opened, and its eyes rolled down, and it actually closed.
The content of the mural in the interior is simple, but the line of Beizhan characters in the painting clearly explains the background of the story in the painting.
"The age of Qi Qian, the Warring States Policy, Wei Ce II, Pang Cong said that there was no tiger in the city of King Wei, and the three became tigers"
Just after Yuan Xing inserted the tiger's teeth into the tiger's mouth, the three chains that tied the zombie trembled, and the guillotine suddenly closed. Three crisp clicks reverberated through the burial chamber. The three zombies were cut off one after another.
It turns out that hearing is false, and seeing is believing. In this way, the zombies are ...... Yuan Xing's eyes widened! Wrong! Zombies are not human, how can they die because of a slash!
Half of the zombie, who had lost the chain, quickly climbed on top of the horse thief with both hands. The three zombies didn't kill them all, they just took a bite and changed their targets.
In an instant, five or six people were bitten by zombies. The horse thieves who had gathered at the door were suddenly in a mess. Because many people have heard that humans who have been bitten by zombies will be infected by corpse poison and then turn into a new zombie.
The horse thieves don't know whether their companions are friends or foes, and whether they should face each other with swords!?
This question has never bothered Wu Cheng. With a swing of his sword, he knocked the zombies flying, and turned around to slash the bitten horse thieves. I saw that the bone chopping knife was swept by the wind, and as soon as he shot, someone's head fell to the ground! There is no mercy at all. Wu Cheng's shot must be to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and will not leave hidden dangers for himself.
Although the bone chopping knife can't hurt the skin and bones of zombies, Wu Cheng is also energetic. The zombies besieged and went up, Wu Cheng turned in circles, slashed left and right, swept with a big knife, and the zombies were also defeated and retreated.
The head of the horse thief is indeed not greedy for life and afraid of death. At least for the moment, Wu Cheng stood in front of everyone, confronting the three zombies on the ground, buying time for his little brother to escape.
Li Qiang was still desperately holding on to the stone door, and the size of the gap at this time was enough for one person to enter and exit. The horse thieves scrambled to flee, and someone kept stepping on the strong force and crawling out of the white tiger tomb above his head.
Seeing that they could not break through Wu Cheng's defense line, the three half-cut zombies gradually gathered in one place. Two of them crawled upside down, joining their truncated points to become a conjoined monster with limbs and heads and tails.
Not only that, but a third zombie also climbed up. Its severed part spilled with slime, sticking to the center of the conjoined monster. The Siamese Monster is like the zombie's mount, and it's like a zombie cavalry.
The three zombies were combined and formed, and everyone present was stunned.
When Wu Cheng fought against the zombies, Yuan Xing hid aside. He didn't dare to get too close, and seemed to consciously stay away from the zombies. The first two encounters made Yuan Xing feel jealous, and he was afraid that he would backfire on the evil spirit of zombies. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will become a monster more terrible than a zombie......
As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell.
"Hey! Wu Cheng! Don't fight this monster! Give me that tiger tooth! ”
Wu Cheng didn't pay attention to Yuan Xing at all, and used his strength to the blade. However, the conjoined monster was extremely fast, and it stepped across the wall, flashed past Wu Cheng, and rushed into the crowd.
The six sharp claws brought a tide of bright red blood, and the horse thief was killed and wounded again!
Seeing the momentum, Yuan Xing jumped down from the white tiger statue. He ran to the stone gate and kicked him out. The white tiger stone gate is homeopathically closed!
"Follow the fish-shaped marker and take the survivors back to the Skull Landmark! Go up from the dry well! Find the two Taoist priests in Taolin Village!! Before the stone gate closed, Yuan Xing's last shout was heard.
At this time, in the tomb, there was only one conjoined monster left, four living people. In addition to Wu Cheng and Yuan Xing, there are two other horse thieves who have not yet had time to escape.
"Bastard, you've trapped us!" Wu Cheng also had a lot of physical exhaustion, he gasped and shouted.
"That's also a helpless thing to do! I can't let this monster get out! ”
The Siamese monster struck at its weakest prey, its two claws grabbing a horse thief in one hand, pinning them to the ground and biting them frantically.
Wu Cheng jumped on the statue of the white tiger, and fell from a height, slashing with a peerless sword move.
"Pull out the mountains and rivers and fall a thousand gold!"
The bone chopper slashed with all his might, and forced the monster into the floor tiles, but it still couldn't hurt the monster in the slightest. The conjoined monster shook its body, and its body shook and pushed Wu Cheng away.
The next target of this zombie monster is Yuan Xing and Wu Cheng.
"I said it earlier! There is nothing we can do with this ancient evil art! If you want to survive, you can only crack the mechanism according to the will of the gravemaker! ”
Wu Cheng gritted his teeth, but he still understood this account. If there is no life, then what is the use of treasure! With a twist of heart, he threw the crystal tiger tooth to Yuan Xing.
Yuan Xing didn't dare to delay, and immediately stuffed his teeth into the last groove. The surrounding stone walls suddenly functioned, the sealed stone was lifted, the stone door was opened, and a gust of wind through the hall blew into the tomb, whirring in the ears of the white tiger statue.
"What about the monster!" Yuan Xing looked at the open stone door and shouted that it was not good! "Oops!! Keep up!! ”
