Chapter 280: Stunned
In this blood-colored tomb.
Along the way, you can see the dried corpses that have been sacrificed by the living.
Some of them opened their mouths wide and dark, and they struggled to straighten their arms from the top of their heads, as if they were trying to grasp something.
Some were lying on the ground, their faces full of fear and despair, desperately trying to break free from the soul-nourishing roots that were wrapped around his calves.
......
Along the way, everything you see is purgatory on earth.
There were many times when people had to bend their heads down to carefully walk under the dried corpses above their heads, trying to avoid the dried corpses and the roots that stepped on the ground.
From time to time, you can still see some strange stone statues in the tomb.
These statues are not human heads.
It's a bust.
And the facial features are particularly exaggerated.
For example, the corners of the eyes are almost open to the back of the head, the mouth is very big, as big as the base of the ears, the facial contours are sharp and angular, and the expression is heavy.
There are not many of these strange stone statues, and they are some distance away, and only after walking through the tomb road can you occasionally see the lonely stone statues.
According to Mr. Feng Shui's explanation, the style of these stone statues resembles the stone statues used by shamans to sacrifice in the past, which also confirms that this tomb is indeed a sacrificial pit, which is used for soul nourishing wood to sacrifice to the living.
"Mr. Yi, have you noticed that although we have been advancing, this tomb seems to have been going down?"
Walking in the dark and quiet blood-colored tomb for a while, the old Taoist priest who knew Feng Shui was able to do so, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he looked at Mr. Feng Shui.
Mr. Feng Shui groaned, in fact, he had already seen that something was wrong with this place, and it was very easy to verify it.
You only need to pour some water into the cracks of the floor tiles, and you can see if the tomb is built at an inclined downward slope by watching the water pass.
As a result, Mr. Feng Shui borrowed a circle from a few people, and everyone found that after tossing along the way, their skin bags and water bags were broken for a long time, and the skin bags were empty, and there was not even a drop of water.
At present, only a third of the clear water on Jin An's body remains, and half of the water left by the old Taoist priest.
"It seems that the next road? Do we need to save some water? The main burial chamber above collapsed, in case we can't find a way out in a short time? This water is life-saving water. "In the graveyard? Jin'an began to distribute everyone's water consumption.
Since the clear water is precious, Mr. Feng Shui will naturally not use the clear water to test the terrain of this cemetery? Fortunately, there are all kinds of treasures in the old Taoist's Tai Chi Bagua Blanket, and there are many small porcelain bottles with bottles and cans.
"This porcelain vase contains corpse oil? Maybe there's a place to get to the corpse oil on the next road. Use this bottle, right? This bottle contains gold sore powder for treating trauma and stopping bleeding and bruising. ”
The old Taoist priest carefully put away a black porcelain vase like a baby, and then put down another porcelain vase with a round belly.
The round-bellied porcelain vase really rolled away in one direction.
No matter how you put it, it only rolls in the same direction.
Smack.
Smack.
On the next journey, in order to save one of the few pieces of water? Is everyone talking less unnecessarily? In the dark and oppressive tombway, only the sound of empty and crisp footsteps remained.
In the face of the dead bodies in the cemetery, as well as the quiet footsteps in the dark, the timid people are probably frightened by the atmosphere here.
"Shh
In the tomb buried deep in the mountains and old forests, the feng shui gentleman with the deepest feng shui attainments? is often the most "deaf and clear-sighted" of them, and Mr. Feng Shui suddenly stopped everyone? made a silent motion.
What Mr. Feng Shui is best at is Feng Shui, in the catacombs? Any wind and grass, funeral and earth qi disturbance? Just like the mountains and rivers feng shui? Have a clear context? You can't escape the nose, eyes, and ears are the most sensitive to these Feng Shui gentlemen.
Healers are expected to be inquisitive.
Mr. Feng Shui is a good feng shui, and when looking for dragon points, they are also looking at and hearing and asking, but their hope and hearing are not for people, but for the famous mountains and rivers in the world.
Mr. Feng Shui stretched out his palm and stuck it against the cold and hard stone wall that no soul-nourishing wood roots climbed, and carefully felt the movement of the wind and grass in this tombway.
Everyone looked at Mr. Feng Shui suspiciously, they didn't hear anything, and even turned their heads to look at Jin An, Jin An twisted his eyebrows and listened carefully, and then shook his head, indicating that with his current physique, his five senses are stronger than ordinary people, and he didn't hear any movement in the tomb.
"Could it be that they are sharpening swords, captains?" Jin An's eyes froze.
"The movement is coming from there, in addition to the earthy air, there is also blood in this tomb, it is human blood!
Mr. Feng Shui fanned his nose, and from the faint air current, he could smell the smell of blood in this tomb except for the earthy air.
But no one else smelled it.
Only Mr. Feng Shui smelled it underground.
"The direction that Mr. Yi is pointing in happens to be the direction in which the air is blowing, and it seems that we can't avoid it this time. And maybe it's the sword sharpening, the captain, they're in danger!"
The old Taoist priest said nervously.
As a result, when they rushed over to save people, they had not found anyone, but there were many messy footsteps in the tomb, as if many people were fleeing for their lives in panic.
Listening to the footsteps, there were at least no less than twenty people.
"Is there anyone else in this graveyard?"
"Where did so many people come from?"
The old Taoist priest exclaimed.
"Listening to the footsteps of so many people, there are more people than we have after joining up with Sword Sharpening and Du Lieutenant, could it be that the gang of antique dealers and their comrades are in this tomb?"
At this time, there was no time to think about it, because the group of messy footsteps approached very quickly, they seemed to have encountered something and were fleeing in a hurry, and they arrived in a blink of an eye, because they were running in a hurry, and when they turned the corner, they almost collided with Jin An and them.
When the torch shone on these people, they were holding tower shields, waist rings, crossbows controlled by Kangding State, heavy armor, and the surface was filled with Taoist scriptures for exorcism with Chiyang cinnabar.
These are the heavy-armored iron guards who were brought down to the tomb by the captain!
"How are you!"
"Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen! Great, have the two Daoists seen my general?
As soon as the two groups converged, they were both surprised and surprised.
Those heavy-armored iron cavalry guards first recognized Jin An and the old Taoist priest in surprise, but they looked behind them, and with solemn eyes, they hurriedly urged everyone to flee here first.
What the!
The Soul Nourishing Tree Root is alive!
The old Taoist priest and the weeping mourners looked behind those heavily armored iron cavalry guards with a cold scalp, this is not good, this look, mother, run!
The scarlet roots that were originally stuck to the walls of the tomb were now like blood vessels wriggling, and the recovery range was expanding rapidly, and the scarlet roots were waving in the air, as if they were hunting prey.
Fuck it, this is really alive! Little brother run! The old Taoist priest urged, turned around and ran with everyone else.
"Are any of you hurt?"
"These roots are strange, just like piranhas, they are attracted to the smell of blood and go crazy! These roots will wake up and kill their prey when they smell the slightest smell of blood!"
Being reminded by the Iron Cavalry Guard, the rest of the people subconsciously looked at Jin An.
"Little brother, did you know in advance that these soul-nourishing wood roots are sensitive to the smell of blood, that's why you disposed of the dead monkey's corpse in such a timely manner, and scattered the monkey's bones and ashes, and even the ashes were raised!"
The old Taoist priest had old arms and legs, and he was panting in the cemetery, and he didn't forget to be poor in his mouth.
"Lao Dao, I originally wanted to play the fine tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, seeing that you are so tired of running, I want to take the initiative to carry you to run, since you have a poor mouth, it means that you still have the strength to spare. Jin An glared at the old Taoist.
After listening to Jin An's words, the old Taoist priest suddenly had a bitter face.
The head is wilted.
This time I ran, and as a result, the roots in the tomb kept chasing them, and even more roots were alarmed by the sound of their escape, and the dense tentacles were dancing towards them.
"Oh no! These soul-nourishing tree roots can hear the sound!"
"Sure enough, at this time, I have to rely on my share of corpse oil!"
The old Taoist priest was chased out of breath, looked around, and complained bitterly.
......
After touching about two incense sticks, Jin An and the others used corpse oil to cover the three yang fires of the living, suppressing the blood and qi in the body, and in the midst of danger, they finally escaped from the pursuit of those soul-nourishing wood roots.
"Whew-"
"W-ha-"
"Old, old, I'm not fast, no......"
As soon as he was out of danger, as soon as the old Taoist priest relaxed, he felt as if his chest was about to explode, and he took a big breath of air and poured fresh cold air into his lungs.
Just now, my life was hanging by a thread, I was busy running, and I didn't feel anything, but now as soon as the muscles of my body relaxed, I suddenly felt pain everywhere in my body.
It was only at this time, while everyone was resting and recovering their physical strength, that Jin An and Mr. Feng Shui asked those iron horse guards, what happened in this tomb?
Didn't they guard the tunnel in the false grave and couldn't get down, why did they appear in this grave again?
Jin An quickly learned what had happened.
It turned out that when these iron cavalry guards stayed in the false tomb, they were not idle, and they waited left and right without waiting for the captain to come up with the others, because they were concerned about the safety of the captain, so they continued to look for no other way in the collapsed tomb.
Since others were able to enter the tomb, and the footprints had never gone out, there must have been other ways, and sure enough, under a buried ruin, they found a robbery hole that had been many years old.
They walked all the way down the cave, but they were all right, and after some twists and turns, they arrived at this tomb.
The person who robbed the hole was simply a god, not only could he hit the thief hole from the outside world, and the thief hole was accurately hit in the southeast corner of the mausoleum, but the thief hole was also accurately hit to the main tomb of the tomb owner.
As for why these Iron Cavalry Guards alarmed those soul-nourishing wood roots?
In fact, these roots were not alarmed by the Iron Cavalry.
The one who alarmed the soul-nourishing wood root whisker was the antique dealer accomplice of the human dragon man, who, like the old Taoist priest and the captain, hid in the crack of the platform at the last moment, successfully dodging the aftermath of the explosion and the Yin corpse fire.
I don't know if these iron guards were unlucky, or if the human dragon man was unlucky and happened to bump into him in the tomb.
Because the human dragon man's disguise technique has been destroyed, revealing the true face of the human dragon's facial features.
And the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Guard have also seen what the corpse of the human dragon looks like in the fake tomb, so when they first saw the human dragon man, they thought that they had encountered a corpse in the tomb.
As soon as the two waves of people saw each other, the fight became white-hot.
Although these people are all masters in the army, and they can also be ranked as masters in the martial arts, well-trained, and proficient in military formation, the human dragon men still attack and kill them one after another.
Seeing that the iron bucket army formation was about to be shattered, fortunately, in the end, someone suddenly burst out of potential and exploded to repel the human dragon man, that is, when the human dragon man was injured and a drop of blood dripped from the wound on the ground, the calm and immobile roots in the tomb were all rolled towards the human dragon man like crazy.
According to these iron guards, if it weren't for the human dragon men who were entangled in these strange roots in the tomb and dragged them in the tomb for them, they would not have been able to escape from the desperate situation.
"Hey, in order to save us, the old stone was chased and killed by these roots in the tomb after repelling the human dragon man, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and he doesn't even know if he is alive or dead, we can survive this time, it was the old stone who sacrificed himself to save us all. ”
"Lao Shi usually eats the same big pot of rice and lives in the same military tent with us, who would have thought that Lao Shi's strength is hidden so deeply, and the last moment broke out and saved the lives of all our brothers......"
Iron Cavalry Guard, these big men with tigers and bears, at this time are all red eyes, sad eyes, when they think of the brothers in the army who are like brothers and sisters, sacrifice themselves at the last moment to save them, they blame themselves, blame themselves for their incompetence and delay.
Looking at the iron cavalry guards whose morale was a little low, Jin An glanced at the old Taoist priest, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
......
At this time, the soul-nourishing wood roots in the ancient tomb gradually calmed down again.
There is no resurrection from the dead.
After a short period of low morale, those iron cavalry guards listened to Jin An's thrilling encounters along the way, and heard that their captains were also in this tomb, these soldiers really deserved to be the most well-trained elite soldiers in the army, and immediately reinvigorated their morale and took Jin An to find the thief hole exit when they came.
If the Captain and the Sharpening Sword were still alive, they would definitely be looking for an exit at this time, and they might already be on their way to the exit.
Although the roots in the tomb had returned to calm, for the sake of safety, everyone endured the strong smell on their bodies, did not wipe off the corpse oil on their bodies, continued to use corpse oil to suppress the three handfuls of yang fire and blood qi, and began to hurry towards the direction of the robbery cave.
Because they ran a little far back this time, about the second incense stick on the road, Jin An finally saw the place where the iron cavalry guard and the human dragon man were fighting.
At this point, the place was in shambles.
The walls were covered with slashing marks of knives and guns, and the grooves cut by those knives were as deep as an inch, which showed that the battle was fierce at that time.
"It seems a little wrong, this place has a lot more strange roots than when we came...... "An iron cavalry guard whispered to Jin An.
Jin An groaned, and after asking the old Taoist priest and Mr. Feng Shui for their opinions, everyone continued on the road.
It was the only way they could survive to the exit.
No matter how dangerous the lies lie ahead.
I can only continue to move forward.
Only when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth.
There are indeed many more roots in the tomb here than in other places along the way, and there are even many places where it is difficult to get off your feet, just like walking on a cobweb.
"Shhhhh
The feng shui gentleman, who had the most sensitive five senses in the tomb, suddenly stopped everyone and raised his hand to point to a position in front of him.
In the dim light of the torches, everyone vaguely saw that there seemed to be a mass of things struggling above the head of the blood-colored tomb, and the struggle was getting weaker and weaker.
But at this time, the human dragon man was very miserable.
