Chapter 19: The Tomb Maze
The green light flickered throughout the cavern, flashing faster and faster, regularly hitting the two fangs of the stone statue, and the color gradually changed to dark red. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two fangs on the stone statue were dripping with red wax oil, and the stone eye turned half a circle to the left and half a circle to the right, and the head protruded, coming out of the wall and standing next to the giant stone man.
After waiting for the tragedy to come, the night withered grass opened its eyes and looked up to see a stone giant, which had its head resting on a bronze axe.
The stone walls on both sides shook violently, and the stone door was opened again, and the night withered grass retracted its upper body in a thrilling way, and the stone gate was turbulent again, and with a bang, it closed heavily.
A huge underground palace emerged, with a spherical thing, hanging at the top of the stone wall, flashing with white light, illuminating the corridor in front, two rows of handrail stone pillars carved various small snake shapes, and a giant python body carved lifelike at the bottom, which continued at the end of the darkness, beyond the edge were truncated swords, the sharpest tips, pierced all over the ground.
Night Withered began to wonder if this could be the underground palace of the ancient tomb, and from the promenade, there was no other choice but to step on the body of a giant python and walk over.
With his hands on the stone pillar and his feet lightly on it, he took a step and looked up at the end of the line, and the more he walked to the end of the corridor, the dimmer the white light became, until it was pitch black in front of him.
His feet twitched, as if something had escaped, and he quickly quickened his pace down the corridor, and faintly saw a small flame with candlelight.
Night Dry Grass ran excitedly in the direction of the candlelight, accidentally hit a wall, touched the bridge of his nose in pain, and burst into a foul mouth: "His grandmother's!" It felt teased. ”
The small flames split into countless at once, illuminating the entire space, and you can see that there are at least four holes of different sizes and shapes in front of them, and the upper parts of the holes are marked with the doors of yin, yang, life, and death.
Yin is a circular cave door, surrounded by carved strip-shaped cross-streaked stones, which stretches in a straight line, and the sound of dripping water comes out from time to time.
Yang is the door of the Bagua Cave, carved on the side of the stone according to the texture of the Bagua, and the distance of one meter inside appears to turn right, and there is a yellow shimmer.
It is a square cave door, engraved with a tic-tac-toe pattern, and there are three small circles inside the tic-tac-toe, and the cave is pitch black without any sound.
Dead is a diamond-shaped cave door, there are many scratches on the stone grain, messy, two forks in the cave, reduced by half, can only be drilled in the way of climbing.
Night Withered stood in front of the four cave doors and hesitated, the two doors of life and death can be excluded, one is dark and silent, the other has a fork, climbing in is much more terrifying than walking in, so which is better, yin or yang?
When I was still thinking about which door to choose, a hissing sound came from the ground, there seemed to be something behind it, the night withered grass turned around, and immediately turned blue, his mouth twitched slightly, his hands clenched into fists, his feet took a step back, and he screamed: "Oh my God! There are pythons! ”
I can't care about it so much, it's important to escape, Chaoyangmen ran in, turned right, and rushed forward desperately, thanks to the yellow shimmer, it wasn't too dark, because of running fast and nervous, my legs began to cramp, and the speed slowed down.
Before he could adjust his state, there was a ping-pong in the cave, and the sound gradually approached, and the night withered grass dragged his cramped feet, ran quickly, and muttered in his mouth: "At this juncture, what is the situation with cramps!" I don't want to be eaten by snakes. ”
Rushing forward, rushing into a huge underground palace, I can't help but let people go inside, the four walls are embossed with the body of a bat, the paws under the feet clamp the small snake, a triangular stone tower inside, some ancient characters that I can't understand.
Nightdry grass touched the bats carved on the wall, just like the real thing, and then approached the study of the stone tower, Tawen didn't know what to write, and saw a piece of the bottom of the tower recessed into the text, and a palm print of the right hand appeared, stretched out his hand and put it up, and pressed it gently.
The four walls move each other, the two sides combine into one side, and a huge gate is discharged, moving towards the four cave doors, sealing the entrance and exit of the cave door, and the sound of bang, the python keeps hitting the stone wall blocking the cave door.
Night Withered Grass was stunned, his gaze stopped on the stone wall, and he shook his brain, reminding himself that now was not the time to think about this, and hesitantly withdrew the hand printed on it.
After the four walls left their original positions, there were four stone tablets on the ground, which were still engraved with the words yin, yang, life and death.
"Can't you give us some nutritional explanation......" Nightdry Grass growled, holding the four stone tablets and looking for a place to use them.
The dungeon is very spacious, except for the triangular stone tower, there is only a wall, and the bat body on the relief has a deep recess, and a line of words is left on it.
Night Dry Grass carefully observed the words written on it, and finally understood something, but it was only said that one of the four stone tablets was true, and there was no follow-up.
He took out the stone tablet of the door of death and tried it, pinched his toes, and stuffed it in, and the bat on the relief flew out of the wall and crashed into the triangular tower, shattering his body.
Nightdry Grass's face was full of doubts, and that was the end of it...... When I was about to prepare the stone plaque of Saishengmen, a wall opened, and I bent down anxiously and looked down to see what it was, but the result was really disappointing.
A small secret room, a pile of white bones on the ground, and a pile of wire mesh in the corner, this is the meaning of the Death Door Stone Plaque......
Continuing to put in the stone tablet of the birth gate, the same relief bat flew out of the wall, this time the direction landed in the secret room of the death door, flew in, the death door closed, and nothing happened next......
Night Withered felt that she had been tricked, and kicked the stone wall of Yangmen unhappily, and said impatiently: "Don't bump into it, you broken python, you will die if you stop!" ”
Perhaps because he understood the words, the python no longer hit the stone wall of Yangmen, and the dungeon was so quiet that it was terrifying.
Night withered grass looked at the stone plaque and there were only two left, first put in the Yangmen stone plaque, the relief bat flew to the triangular stone tower, shattering its body, another stone wall opened, and there was still a light shining inside, it must be this.
When the stone wall opens a small secret room, there is a glowing brocade box with a little ash on it.
Night Withered Grass opened it excitedly, only to see another stone tablet with the word "order" engraved on it, and exited the secret room in disappointment, and stuffed the last Yin stone tablet into the relief bat, and the old bat flew into the stone wall opened by the Yang Gate, and then closed it.
Night Withered Grass sighed and sat next to the triangular tower, complaining: "Does this person who built the dungeon have a hole in his brain, can he take a snack!" ”
When all four stone tablets were stuffed, the four stone walls began to move and returned to their original positions, and everything was restored to normal.
The night withered grass stood up in shock, without the wall blocking the cave door, the giant python could not come and go at will, wiped the sweat from its forehead with its sleeve, lifted its spirit, stared at the yang gate, hid behind the triangular tower, waited for it to come out, and then withdrew to the yang gate.
