Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 501 Bagua Ancient Array
In general, the underground burial chamber will use bluestone strips to support the top of the burial chamber.
This burial chamber is no exception.
But at this time, the gaps between the bluestone strips have been drilled through by the roots, and the poplars should have at least five or six roots, which penetrate and exit between the gaps in the bluestone strips at the top of the tomb.
"What kind of tree is this, and how can its roots be so developed?" Xu Xiang muttered.
"All the big trees have well-developed roots, the question is where is this big tree?" said the Red Gate Master, looking up at the roots at the top of the tomb.
"I think let's leave the roots alone, let's make sure which direction we should go, right?" Zheng Xiangtai said.
Their burial chamber did not have only the passage that Poplar had just discovered, but on the diagonal opposite of this passage, there was another passage that went in the opposite direction.
"I suppose it's going down this passage!" said Poplar, pointing to the passage he had found.
"Why is Little Brother Bai so sure?" Zheng Xiangtai asked, but as soon as he asked, he understood first, "Yes, since the bones of this big zongzi fell at the mouth of this passage, it is naturally because my senior brothers are going this way!"
"That's good!" Bai Yang nodded, "Master Zheng's senior brothers, it's unlikely that they just cracked down from this ground that cracked last night, they should have come in from the opposite passage, and then continue to move towards this passage!
"Yes, most of the troubles should be solved by my brothers and sisters!" Zheng Xiangtai said, it seems that he is very confident in the skills of his brothers and sisters.
Several people listened to their reasoning, so they all followed them and walked towards the passage more than one meter wide.
The passage wasn't too long, and there was obviously a trap at the end of the passage, and the trap was set up to control a very thick stone gate.
In other words, in order to enter one of the burial chambers in front of you, you must first find a mechanism to open the stone gate.
But now that the stone gate has been opened, as long as you look up, you can see that the stone gate is hanging on the top of the passage, and with its thickness, it is not less than the weight of a thousand catties.
Then people have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, I don't know how they were able to hang or hang such a heavy stone gate at any time.
However, many ancient tombs like this stone gate have been found, and it would not be surprising if the ancient tomb in front of him was really Yuan Tiangang's underground palace.
But when passing through the open stone gate, the vision is secretly surprising.
It was also a boxy burial chamber, and the burial chamber area was also more than 20 square meters.
The difference is that the first burial chamber is very simple, neither the walls nor the floor, there are no decorations or paintings. But the four walls of this tomb are covered with colorful murals.
Unfortunately, there was also a large crack in the left wall, which was caused by the root of the old tree that extended from the previous burial chamber.
The floor of the burial chamber was empty and unplaced. There was no coffin, and there was not a single burial object.
But there were many sharp iron spikes, stone cones, and other sharp weapons, scattered on the hard ground.
If you look closely, the ground is made of black and white stone bricks, and this black and white color forms a complete Taiji diagram.
It's just that the Taiji diagram is round, and this room is a very regular square, so the color of the stones used in the four corners of the room, although it is also black and white, is just staggered with the black and white of the Taiji diagram, so that the Taiji diagram in the middle presents a very clear and regular circle.
Looking up again, the top of the tomb is also a Tai Chi pattern made of black and white stone bricks.
However, there are also a few tree roots climbing vertically and horizontally at the top, destroying the beauty and integrity of the Taiji diagram.
"Red Gate Master, what do you think?" asked Zheng Xiangtai.
At this moment, a group of nine people were all crowded under the stone gate at the entrance of the tomb, which was also suspended, but because the width of the passage was only a little more than a meter, only Bai Yang, the red door master, and Zheng Xiangtai, who were walking in the front, could clearly see the situation in the tomb.
The others in the back could only stick their heads out and look forward from the empty shoulders of the three people.
"This tomb is an ancient gossip array, and the people who came in before only broke through this room at a great cost!" said the Red Gate Master, pointing between the iron spike cones scattered all over the ground, "You see, the black stain on that white stone brick should have been soaked in blood. There must also be stains on the other black stone bricks, but black to black, I can't see it clearly!"
The Red Gate Lord is right, although decades have passed, in the white part of the Taiji Diagram, you can still see a few obvious and large stains, at least in the eyes of the poplars, it must be blood stains.
But Zheng Xiangtai shook his head and said, "Back then, my senior brothers were in the prime of life, and it was said that Gongsun Xia was proficient in the secret path mechanism and also studied the ancient formations, so I don't think these stains must be bloodstains......! There will definitely be casualties and casualties on such a large number of blood stains, and if there are casualties, there should be corpses and bones, but what about corpses and bones?
He actually had a point in saying this, those few stains were indeed very large, if it was really human blood, then the bleeding person would probably have no chance of survival.
This is not the core burial chamber, and no one can carry their dead companions on their backs.
However, Zheng Xiangtai's brothers and sisters were not able to get out of this underground palace, so it was impossible to carry their dead companions away when they returned.
"Perhaps the wounded here were only seriously injured and did not die immediately, so it is possible that they were taken to the front by other companions to be placed in the front!" said Poplar, the only explanation he could think of.
Zheng Xiangtai didn't argue anymore, so he could only ask the Red Gate Master again: "I don't know anything about the ancient formation, so I can only ask the Red Gate Master, has this formation been completely cracked by my senior brothers?"
The Red Gate Lord looked up and down again, then shook his head and said, "According to me, the power of this formation is still there, but it's just ...... I always felt that these roots were triggered by Master Zheng's brothers and sisters after they entered this underground palace, so that these roots pierced through the stone bars on the top of the tomb and cracked a big crack in the wall on one side of the tomb! But because of this, the power of this formation has been reduced a lot!"
The Red Gate Lord spoke, glanced back and forth a few times, and instructed the Iron Bull behind him: "Iron Bull, you go and carry the coffin lid over and I will use it!"
Tie Niu agreed, and quickly carried the coffin lid over.
The people behind gave way one after another, letting the iron bull squeeze to the front.
The Red Gate Lord motioned to Poplar Zheng Xiangtai to step back first, make room for Tie Niu, and instructed Tie Niu to also stand outside the stone gate, and then told Tie Niu: "You throw the coffin lid into the tomb, be careful, don't fall into it yourself!"
Tie Niu said "rest assured", fought with his arms, and threw the sarcophagus lid out.
The sarcophagus lid weighed at least 100 catties, and Tie Niu's body did not move, and with the strength of his arms, he threw the sarcophagus lid five or six meters away.
Only a "bang" was heard, and the sarcophagus lid fell on the floor of the tomb.
Immediately following the sound of "clacking", countless sharp weapons such as iron thorn stone cones shot out from all directions of the entire tomb, as if it was raining heavily.
There were two iron spikes that even shot into the passage, fortunately Poplar has been on guard, but because of the narrow passage, Poplar did not have time to draw his sword, so he could only catch up with two steps, and directly slashed down with the palm of his hand, just slashing at the waist of the two iron thorns, and immediately split the two iron thorns at the feet of the iron bull.
Zheng Xiangtai and the others couldn't get off the bridge, they were shocked that the formation in the tomb was very powerful, if someone who didn't know stepped in, there would be no life at this moment;
I was even more shocked by the strength of the iron bull and the speed of the poplar, and the name of searching for the dragon and breaking the ghost gate was not obtained out of thin air.
Zheng Xiangtai couldn't help but turn his face back and glanced at a few people behind him.
They originally had full confidence, and after entering the core tomb and finding a large number of treasures, the six of them joined forces to kill Bai Yang and the other three, but now they were a little apprehensive, feeling that if the six of them wanted to get rid of Bai Yang and the three of them, although they had a chance of winning, they didn't dare to say 100%.
However, according to their calculations in their hearts, they still had a better chance of winning after all, so a few people just exchanged glances with each other, and no one had the idea of retreating.
"Since this gossip array is so powerful, then we can only rely on the Red Gate Lord to lead the way! But the problem is, what if...... I mean, in the future, the Red Gate Lord has a good deal, then the rest of us have to turn back, I'm afraid this pass will still be difficult to deal with! So...... Can you ask the Red Gate Master to find a way to completely destroy this gossip array?" Zheng Xiangtai said, putting on a sincere face.
But how scheming the Red Gate Lord is, how can he not understand his ghostly thoughts?
However, of course, the Red Gate Lord would not reveal it at this moment, but just smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, I let Tie Niu carry this sarcophagus cover over, just considering that it will be troublesome to pass through it on the return trip! With the weight of this sarcophagus cover, even if the mechanism on the ground is not completely smashed, it will deform some mechanisms, and its sensitivity will naturally be greatly reduced!" In addition, the top and walls of the tomb are eroded by these roots, and its power will be greatly weakened, so as long as we jump out, borrow the coffin lid to pad our feet, and jump directly into the opposite passage, we will not touch the mechanism again. ”
After the Red Gate Lord finished speaking, he didn't explain much to the others, and flew up lightly, and his slender body swept more than two meters away in the air, landing on the sarcophagus lid that was thrown on the ground in the middle of the tomb.
But she did not stop on the sarcophagus lid for a moment, but gently kicked on the sarcophagus lid with her toes, and her whole body flew forward again, landing gently and skillfully in another passage more than a meter wide on the opposite side of the tomb.
