Yaoshan Ancient Tomb, Yuemen Palace:

It's not so much a trap as a hidden burial chamber, just made to look like a trap. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I really don't know if the grave builder wants to let people in or doesn't want people to come in.

"Hey! Hurry up if you're not dead! See if there's any way to come! Su Wuqian anxiously shouted down.

Yuan Xing clutched his chest and abdomen in pain on the ground, and there was a sharp pain there, probably broken his ribs.

"Go up? I'm ...... now It's hard to turn over......" Yuan Xing struggled to move, but he couldn't get up.

After resting for a while, when Yuan Xing got used to the pain, he moved his body and leaned against the stone wheel, trying to help the stone wheel to get up. The floor of the tomb was uneven, and the originally calm giant ship began to roll obliquely under the support of Yuan Xing, and crashed into the crescent stone door.

Yuan Xing was also annoyed, this stone gate was originally his escape route, but it was blocked by most of the giant ship. He walked to the door with difficulty, pushed hard, and the crescent stone door did not move. When Yuan Xing touched the stone gate, the stone surface was as cold as ice.

Yuan Xing waded through the puddle and came to the other side. He deliberately stayed away from the sarcophagus in the room, it was difficult to ensure that there was not a zombie lying inside, and Yuan Xing was very jealous of this kind of monster.

Su Wuqian looked back at the back, she was still on high alert around her. "We can't all focus our attention here. Jiang Feng, you are watching here and trying to help him come up. I'll go to the front passage and take a look. ”

"Good! Sister Su, be careful yourself, and call me out loud if you have something! ”

Yuan Xing tugged at the withered vines on the north wall, and these plants broke when they were pulled, and they couldn't bear the weight at all. After the vines scattered, the wall revealed a yellow and white stone body, which was completely different from the color of the stone wall on the wall. He reached out and touched the protruding stones, and put his finger in his mouth to taste them.

"Vertebral spinous process...... This is a fossilized skeleton ......"

Jiang Feng crouched at the mouth of the pit and asked, "Brother Yuanxing, what is a fossil?" ”

"To put it simply, it is a kind of stone that the flesh of ancient creatures decays after death, and the hard parts of their bodies, such as bones, slowly turn into stones over time."

Yuan Xing took a few steps back and looked at the shape of the fossil from a distance. The large cone of rib pins extends symmetrically from both sides of the torso vertebrae, and only two pairs of complete ribs can be seen on the entire stone wall, which is a testament to the size of this creature.

"The ribs are too slender compared to the vertebrae...... Yuan Xing looked at the snake-shaped Tengtu on the sarcophagus and exclaimed, "Could it be that this is the remains of the ancient giant beast Moon Gate Pit Viper?" ”

"Brother Yuanxing, don't study this yet, it's important that we leave this place quickly!"

"There is nowhere to climb on all sides of the stone wall, how do I go up. The only stone gate was also blocked by myself. This is a tomb and a trap, I am in trouble, and you can find your way out. Why don't you go ahead and come to my rescue later. ”

"How could we possibly leave you alone! We'll figure it out when Sister Su comes back! ”

"You say......" Yuan Xing sat under the stone sculpture of the human head and snake body on the east side, followed the woman's eyes, and looked at the portrait on the west wall opposite. Jiang Feng, can you see this painting from that position? ”

"Yes!"

"What does it mean to have such a picture carved on the wall?"

It is a narrative picture, and the artist sketches a vivid story with a few brushstrokes. The painting depicts a couple in love who spend their days in pairs. Later, a Taoist priest appeared, and somehow got into an argument with the two. The Taoist priest held a grass snake in his hand and talked to the man, while the other hand pointed at the woman, as if to say that she was transformed by a snake spirit.

The man was unmoved, pushed the Taoist priest away, and hurried away with his lover. In order to prove that what he said was true, the Taoist priest stepped forward and cut off the woman's tongue while she was washing alone by the river. The woman turned into her original form and fled in the grass.

The Taoist priest found the man and told him what had happened during the day, causing the man to fight at the priest. For several days, the man had no news of his wife, and finally became disheartened and committed suicide at home.

The Taoist priest came to pay his respects and was quite touched, so he put the severed tongue under the pillow in the man's coffin as a comfort.

Since then, there has been a lot of fighting in the village where they live and in the surrounding area, and there is little peace.

"'Pull out the root of the tongue and show its original form'. This story is a very common folklore in Beizhan. Those of us here believe that if you pull out the base of a monster's tongue, it will change back to its original form. ”

Yuan Xing is still puzzled, what is the intention of placing such a mural in the tomb? Statue of a human-headed snake, a fossil of a giant snake, a mural of a snake spirit, a crescent moon door, a sarcophagus...... What is the connection between these things in the burial chamber?

Wait a minute!

Yuan Xing seemed to have discovered something, only to see him suddenly get up in pain, step over the puddle under his feet, and hurriedly walk under the mural. If you look closely, there is indeed a peach blossom mark hidden in the painting!

"Brother Yuanxing! Have you noticed that there are more and more puddles down there? ”

"Puddles?" Yuan Xing raised his feet and looked, and there were indeed wet stains under his feet. There were many puddles in the burial chamber, especially near the crescent stone door.

The water was flowing from the direction of the stone gate, and the water stains had already soaked half of the stone gate. Before, the stone wheel hit the crescent stone door, and it seemed to have knocked out a crack.

"This depth and coldness...... The tomb builder was so crazy that he built the tomb in an underground river? ”

Without waiting for Yuan Xing to react, the sound of the stone wall shattering came, and the underground river outside the door broke through the stone gate, and the river water poured into the tomb. The cold torrent crashed along the four walls, unable to find an exit but converging towards the center, and the water level in the burial chamber gradually rose.

The physical strength is lost, the injuries are aggravated, and the crisis is one after another. In order to avoid being swept away by the river, Yuan Xing hurriedly looked for high ground. It's just that his current injury can only barely climb the sarcophagus.

The impact of the river was huge, and the stone wheel blocking the door was pushed away by this force. The stone wheel reversed one direction, rolled to the steps where the sarcophagus was located, and was blocked from falling, and was about to smash into the sarcophagus, Yuan Xing had to jump into the water again.

The sarcophagus was crushed by a giant ship, and from it a golden yellow was scattered and dazzling in the turquoise glowing river water.

"Brother Yuanxing!"

Wang Yuanxing threw himself out of the water and shouted: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"No, I'm asking what are those in the coffin?"

"Stinky Boy ......"

Yuan Xing was swept into the water waves, sank with the trend, and probed near the coffin. The water of this underground river is clear, and up close, you can see that the scattered objects are undoubtedly gold bricks. He reached out and lifted a gold brick, so heavy that he almost didn't hold it.

In addition to the glow green and golden yellow, there is also a touch of bright red in the water. A redfin pomfret swam between Yuan Xing's arms, instantly bringing a piece of flesh with him.

It's a wolf clan in the water! The underground river poured in, and the redfin pomfret was also washed into the burial chamber. Their inverted triangular teeth were so sharp that Yuan Xing didn't feel any pain when he lost his flesh, only seeing blood floating in the water.

At this time, two more redfin pomfret swam towards Yuan Xing, Yuan Xing used the Taiyi sword box to protect the front, but the red frein pomfret swam freely in the water, and the tail flickered around Yuan Xing's defense, and they swung their tails and turned around to bite Yuan Xing again.

No one can fight the redfin pomfret in the water, and it is not easy to get rid of their entanglement, and only by leaving the surface can there be a chance of survival. Wang Yuanxing didn't want to sit still, and was treading water hard, but unexpectedly, a black hand stretched out from the coffin and grabbed his ankle.

Yuan Xing was caught off guard, and was so shocked that he swallowed a few mouthfuls of river water, and the bubbles in his lungs were squeezed out of his mouth and nose, tumbling out of the water.

In addition to the gold, there was indeed a zombie hidden in the coffin. It's just that the heavy stone wheel fell on the lid of the coffin, crushing the zombie and unable to move, but it still stretched out a hand.

Yuan Xing couldn't break free, and lost oxygen again, his chest, abdomen, and mind turned from swelling to numbness, and gradually lost the strength to resist.

It seems that today is going to die here......

The black hand dragged the weak Yuan Xing into the coffin. The zombie opened its powerful upper and lower jaws and bit fiercely at Yuan Xing. Blood spilled out of the lid of the coffin with the water, but it was not sucked into the stomach by the zombies. On the contrary, it was the corpse qi in the zombie's body, like a torrent that opened the floodgates, rushed into Yuanxing's body and was eaten by it. The unexpected transformation made the zombie who had vented his corpse qi instantly turn into an ordinary dried corpse.

The meridians under Yuan Xing's skin and flesh were polluted and turned black, and the originally bright red wounds began to turn purple and black. Yuan Xing's internal organs were churning, and he was nauseous in his heart, and the strong feeling of discomfort at least let him know that he was still alive. In addition to the above abnormalities, the pain and fatigue in Yuan Xing's body are gradually disappearing.

"How's it going?" Su Wuqian returned to the mouth of the pit, "Further ahead is the way up, this should be the bottom of the ancient tomb." Now I'm waiting for him to come up. ”

"I can't see exactly what happened, but Brother Yuanxing has been sinking for a long time, and I don't know if it matters."

Yuan Xing, who had regained consciousness, struggled in the coffin and accidentally dragged out a piece of white jade like a tongue from under the pillow. Yuan Xing grabbed the jade and quickly floated up.

"He's out!" Su Wuqian saw that Yuan Xing was raising his head out of the water and gasped for breath.

At this time, the water level in the tomb was still far from the mouth of the pit, and Yuan Xing couldn't jump up. As soon as he came out of the water, he raised his tongue and shouted, "There is a tongue in the coffin!" Echoing the scene on the mural, there must be a mystery in this painting. ”

"What painting?" Su Wuqian asked.

Jiang Feng pointed to the half-flooded mural and said, "That's it!" ”

As if he was afraid that Su Wuqian would not be able to see clearly, Jiang Feng roughly told the story from left to right. Unexpectedly, Su Wuqian retorted: "Why are your hearts so dark, you have to think about the story so miserable." Looking from right to left, isn't it another ending? ”

"What?" Jiang Feng and Yuan Xing were surprised together.

The Taoist priest gave his tongue to the snake spirit, and in the end, the snake spirit and her husband lived a happy life. The world has been at peace ever since. Wouldn't that be better? ”

Turn?! Yuan Xing looked at the mural again, as if he had an understanding. Hold on to the jade and plunge into the water. A considerable number of redfin pomfret had gathered beneath the surface, and the group of piranhas swarmed up with red eyes.

Yuan Xing's movements were even more rapid than before, heading straight for the human-headed snake figure. The fish had surrounded Yuan Xing, and he didn't care much, so he reached into the woman's lightly opened lips with one hand, and inserted the tongue jade into the groove.

A small gesture seems to bloom the flower of life. When the root of the tongue entered, the spiritual light flashed, and all these spiritual energy were condensed in the shadow of the water. Like living eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, and slightly moving lips......
