Suzaku Palace:

To the east is an anthropomorphic stone sculpture of a woman standing on a half-pillar of stone, two people tall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The woman's eyebrows were furrowed, and her expression was slightly pained. She clasped her hands to her chest, and her thin feet were bent towards her abdomen. This gesture is exactly the same as the woman in the water in the first painting on the rock wall. Even the expression of drowning and struggling in the water is the same. It's as if the woman in the painting ran out of the rock wall and was cursed to stone by an evil sorcerer on this stone pillar.

Judging by this creative technique, the author of the mural and the stone statue should be the same person.

However, the stone statue is not exactly the same as the mural, the woman in the painting is completely an ordinary folk girl, and behind the stone statue woman, there are two huge wings, stretching in the air. It's like a fairy in a legend.

Su Wuqian pointed to the mural and read it one by one: "The first two paintings are a girl and a bird...... If it has something to do with Jingwei reclamation, then I guess the gist of this first painting is that a young girl fell into the water and drowned. And the second painting means that after the resurrection of the girl in the water, she turned into a bird and spread her wings to soar into the sky......"

That's right, that's what these two paintings are trying to convey. It's just that Yuan Xing found that the position and proportion of the Jingwei bird in the picture are the same as the girl in the first painting. The posture of the bird's head and feet corresponds to the girl's head and feet. It seems to indicate that the girl is maintaining this posture, and instantly turns into Jingwei.

The wings of the Jingwei bird are the same as those of the stone statue. It feels like the stone statue was made of two previous paintings, half of which were taken and put together.

According to the legend in the poem, the man in the third painting who bends the bow and shoots arrows seems to be the father of the girl who fell into the water. Unknowingly, he wants to shoot the Guardian Bird. Later, the man learned that it was his daughter, and when he learned what happened to his daughter, he cried and sang 'Why is the sea uneven'. Infected by the song, the birds are determined to throw rocks into the sea and not let the tragedy of drowning happen again. ”

Yuan Xing narrated the content of the last two paintings, but Su Wuqian still had a sad face, "The story is such a story, of course I know." But I still don't see how to crack the mechanism, and what does this have to do with the stone statue? It's so hard! Obviously, I don't have enough brains! ”

"It's not that hard. The three burial chambers I had visited before had defective stone statues. Nuwa lacks a tongue, a green dragon lacks eyes, and a white tiger lacks teeth. These statues need to be filled in by tomb breakers before they can be cracked. ”

Su Wuqian circled the stone statue a few times and found that the woman's body was complete everywhere and there were no obvious defects.

"This has a nose and eyes, don't you see what's missing? Are you like you who lack eyes in your heart? ”

Heart?

Yuan Xing was enlightened by this unintentional joke. "You're so smart!"

"What do you mean? Do you praise me or hurt me? ”

Yuan Xing jumped onto the stone pillar and tugged at the stone statue's arm covering his chest, but the woman's arms did not move. "Could it be that I'm wrong?" Yuan Xing was unwilling to give up, he changed the angle and continued to exert force, shaking the stone statue with it.

"Hey! Be careful, don't break the statue! ”

Wang Yuanxing jumped off the stone statue, clapped his palms and said, "From the outside, this stone statue is complete...... It's so weird......"

"We don't have time to grind! It's been too long to delay here! The Suzaku tomb can't be passed, the Xuanwu tomb hasn't been found yet, and when we return to the village, it is estimated that everyone is dead! ”

Su Wuqian's words were not only expressing her anxiety, but also putting pressure on Yuan Xing. Wang Yuanxing took a long breath: "When you were in the tomb of the Moon Gate Palace, you found that the mural should be interpreted upside down. So if you look at the Jingwei reclamation here, what can you see? ”

"Jingwei reclamation upside down? What do you mean, Reclamation Jingwei? ”

"What a mess! Do you have seawater in your head? I'm talking about murals, not words! ”

"Your head is filled with seawater! What logic is there in this mural upside down?! Jingwei Rank Stone Reclamation, busy and good, was suddenly shot down by a man, fell into the water, and became a human? After Su Wuqian finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Xing. Does that make sense? ”

"Wait! This story is kind of familiar......"

"Is it really eyebrow-raising? Think about it! ”

"This story is somewhat similar to the legendary Quail Fire Star of the Twelve Stars. The quail fire is the heart of the immortal bird. Legend has it that the immortal bird has been searching for its heart, and finally succeeded in finding it, and then reincarnated as a human. That's why the Quail Fire Star is also called the Heart of the Quail Fire! ”

"Is it really the heart?"

"If that's the case, then the heart of the quail must be inside that coffin!"

"So what are you waiting for!" Su Wuqian took the lead and jumped on the huge coffin that they had been neglecting for a while.

The girl tapped the scimitar around her waist near the lid of the coffin, looking for a gap to insert. Suddenly, she froze. "Yes...... There is a sound! ”

"If nothing else, there are zombies waiting inside. What should come will always come, and sooner or later there will be such a battle! Yuan Xing said, pinching his hand bones.

"Where's your sword? How do you change to bare-handed now? ”

"I can't get close to the Taiyi Sword Box right now......"

"Why? And the black lines on your face, I've always wanted to ask about it. ”

"It's a backlash symptom of Soul Eater, and my soul is gradually disappearing......"

"The corpse poison has just been suppressed before, why did the whole soul disappear again? So what are you going to do now?! ”

"You can only replenish your own ...... by constantly sucking the souls of others Huh, is it ridiculous? ”

"What are you kidding!"

Yuan Xing didn't want to explain more, "Okay, don't make trouble!" It's important to find something! ”

"You're a big man watching me pry the coffin?"

Su Wuqian pulled the scimitar out of the crack in the coffin, and just wanted to throw it to Yuan Xing, but saw the surface of the knife full of transparent liquid sliding down the blade. "How...... Water in a coffin? ”

"Oh? That means it's a wet coffin. I have no experience in tomb robbing, so in this case, do you dig a hole first to release water or what? ”

Inside the coffin, there were suddenly two huge crashing sounds, which frightened Yuan Xing and Su Wuqian in front of them. Then there was a bang, the walls of the coffin shattered, and the huge coffin collapsed on its own.

Yuan Xing dragged Su Wuqian and hurriedly retreated, and the latter said to Yuan Xing: "It seems that we don't need to bother......

The pale yellow liquid inside the coffin was like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the burial chamber was all over the ground.

Wang Yuanxing stretched out his hand and dipped a little water stain on his feet, sniffed it under his nose, and said in surprise: "This is fire oil!" ”

Before they could be surprised, the owner of the coffin pushed open the lid and slowly stood up on the high platform.

It's a zombie, yes, but it's not shriveled. Probably because of the long-term immersion in oil and water, the corpse still retains its elasticity, except for the total darkness and slight swelling, it is no different from the corpse that has just died.

The zombie's clothes were preserved in the water, and this was the most fully dressed zombie they had ever seen.

Pink brocade silk skirt, blue satin pinched placket coat. Under the double ravages of time and soaking, although the clothes are complete, they have lost their former elegance. The zombie's hair was still there, but the long, wet hair was no longer formless, half of it was draped over the shoulders, and a few hairpins hung here and there.

Su Wuqian sighed: "I didn't expect there to be a female zombie here!" ”

"What's your tone? I haven't seen a single male zombie so far! ”

"What do you say?! Which ones have you encountered before? ”

"Judging from the bones, these zombies are undoubtedly women!"

The zombie was not stiff, and it was so natural to walk down the steps where the coffin was placed. Yuan Xing pushed Su Wuqian away, and the two walked from both sides of the zombies.

Then Wang Yuanxing pointed at himself and then at the zombies. The other pointed at Su Wuqian, and then pointed to the mural. He motioned for the two to divide the work. Yuan Xing is responsible for attracting the attention of the zombies, while Su Wuqian is responsible for finding the Heart of Quail Fire.

Wang Yuanxing let out a loud whistle from his mouth, and the zombie really turned his head away. Su Wuqian took the opportunity to perform light skills and rushed to the high platform.

Zombies open their eyes that have been sleeping for more than two hundred years. The fluffy black eyelids turned up, revealing red, shiny blood-colored eyeballs, like flames from the underworld, ready to erupt at any time.

"This zombie ......" Just by seeing these eyes, Yuan Xing knew how difficult the enemy in front of him was.

With eyes that contain endless evil intentions, how did such a zombie come about!?

The zombie stretched out his palm, and the tips of the five fingers suddenly burst out with long and sharp nails, presumably to take Yuan Xing as a sacrifice to his stomach that had been hungry for so many years.

Seeing the zombies rushing towards him, Yuan Xing retreated while thinking of countermeasures. There is no mana in the whole body, and the strength is not as big as that of a zombie, so do you have to rely on the evil spirit in the zombie's body to find a way to survive inexplicably?

The zombie had obviously approached him, but after a blink of an eye, the red-eyed zombie disappeared from Yuan Xing's face.

Not good! I didn't expect the red-eyed zombie to move so quickly.

"Su Wuqian! Behind! ”

It didn't kill the Yuan Xing in front of it, and instead floated towards the defenseless Su Wuqian. It's hard to imagine that a zombie would even do this trick of feigning to attack!

Su Wuqian was squatting near the coffin looking for the star stone. Hearing Yuan Xing's shouting, she didn't raise her head, and rolled on the spot. The red-eyed zombie's claws slammed into the ground, lifting up the shattered tiles.

Su Wuqian, who narrowly avoided the attack, threw the scimitar into the air. Yuan Xing, who rushed in, grabbed the scimitar in the air. The two retreated and attacked, and cooperated tacitly.

After Yuan Xing landed, he took a few quick steps, and with the help of the impact, he rotated his body from right to left in front of the red-eyed zombie, and used the force of the circle to slash at the zombie's neck, wanting to take away the zombie's head with a knife.

The scimitar cut through the flesh and skin, but it still couldn't cut the very hard neck bone. There is no blood flowing out of the wound, and the zombie is naturally not painful or itchy.

I saw the red-eyed zombie wave his hand violently and knocked out the scimitar in Yuan Xing's hand.

Yuan Xing, who failed to succeed, immediately retreated, but where would the zombies easily let go of the prey in front of them. It moved quickly, and its body was so fast, like a hurricane with the waves crashing on the coast, and the mountains and seas hit it, and Yuan Xing had nowhere to escape.

The red-eyed zombie returned the favor with its human way, it grabbed Yuan Xing's neck with one hand, and the other claw went straight to Yuan Xing's chest.

Wang Yuanxing crossed his hands in front of his chest and clasped a sharp claw with one hand in the shape of a dragon's claw. He maintained this posture, and was pushed all the way to the corner by the zombies, and slammed into the rock wall.

Su Wuqian, who was in the rear, picked up half of the stone brick in a panic and threw it towards the red-eyed zombie.

The zombie's heart-taking claws were soaked in fire oil, extremely slippery, and Yuan Xing couldn't hold it down, so it was easily pulled back.

The claws of the red-eyed zombie locking the throat were still increasing, and Yuan Xing was getting more and more painful, not only did it have difficulty breathing, but even his consciousness was almost unable to be maintained. Yuan Xing kicked the zombie's abdomen with both feet, but the other party was indifferent at all. He didn't care about the claw that had been freed, and now he had to use his hands to desperately break open the arm that was stuck in his throat.

The zombie pulled his hand to catch the stone brick thrown by Su Wuqian, but after the red-eyed zombie pinched the stone out of thin air, he slammed it into Yuan Xing's head, and the latter immediately burst into blood!

Su Wuqian instead gave the zombie an assist.

Yuan Xing snorted, and at the same time as his head was concussed, he seemed to see the red-eyed zombie's face twitching. The flesh at the corners of the black mouth is clearly pulled upwards diagonally.

It's laughing!?
