Chapter 13: The Paper Man Stings
Yue Qianlong asked curiously, "What is this?"
"In ancient times, kings and nobles used people to be buried more often, but later everyone felt that it was too cruel to use living people for burial, so they used clay sculptures or dolls instead, and I think these two paper figures were also used for burial. ”
"Miss Xuanshuang, I heard that most of the figurines who were buried would be made into slaves and maids, but now the Luo family has put a couple of newlyweds in this happy room, it should not be for the funeral. ”
"Su Gongzi is right, probably this owner has his own ideas, we don't know if we guess, let's find a way first. ”
Several people looked at each other, and the tomb looked like a dead end, unless there was a mechanism or a secret door.
Yue Qianlong carefully observed the objects in the room, but these are all commonly used things in the wedding room, at most they are in better condition and more expensive.
"Xuanshuang, be careful!" Yue Qianlong said this too late, and when Xuanshuang turned around, the lively 'bride' was already standing behind her, and in the blink of an eye, the fluttering paper figure was attached to Xuanshuang's body.
"Frost girl!"
This is like a flesh-like pain that makes Xuanshuang unable to move, and the most terrifying thing is that the face of the paper man, which was originally drawn with pen and ink, is now completely attached to Xuanshuang's face, which is really hideous.
Seeing this, Yue Qianlong wanted to get the paper figure back, but the paper was very light, and the clothes close to Xuanshuang seemed to be completely melted in, Yue Qianlong grabbed Xuanshuang's wrist and was about to tear off the paper paste that was stuck to the back of her hand, but she didn't expect that with a force, she actually ripped off the flesh and blood on Xuanshuang's wrist.
"How so?"
"No!" Xuan Shuang said calmly: "This is a spell, we must find a way to crack it first." ”
Yue Qianlong and Su Jue were so anxious that they didn't know what to do, and it wouldn't be long before Xuan Shuang was really going to become a living paper figure.
By the way, since the bride has come back to life, what about the paper groom? Yue Qianlong ran back to the bed to see that the groom in red was still lying down.
"Frost ......"
I can't care so much, since it's this paper man who is wrong, it's better to burn it with fire.
Yue Qianlong grabbed the red candle on the table and threw it on the bed, and there was a burst of mournful crying in the room, although the sound was intermittent, but Yue Qianlong believed that it was from the 'groom' who was covered in fire on the bed. As soon as the 'groom' turned into ashes, the pain on Xuanshuang's body disappeared instantly, and when she calmed down, she saw pieces of ashes falling from her body, and she thought that the 'bride' was also burned together.
Su Jue looked at her with a frightened look, and asked, "Miss Xuanshuang, how are you?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay, thank you for saving me just now. ”
"Miss Xuanshuang, since you said that you have been to this tomb before, have you ever been here?"
"Nope. Xuanshuang shook her head and said, "I've never seen this room, not even the previous tomb. But the first few times I came in didn't dig deep, I really didn't expect there to be these things in this mausoleum. ”
"Since you've been here a few times and haven't advanced deeply, you must have retreated every time because of difficulties?"
At this time, she couldn't hide it anymore, "Miss Yue's guess is right, I really don't have the ability to go deeper." ”
"It seems that it is not Jiang Yan who wants the things in this tomb, but Miss Xuanshuang who wants the things in this, and you are not the helpers invited by Jiang Yan, Su Jue and I are the helpers that Jiang Yan invited for you. ”
"Miss Yue, that's a good point. ”
"We broke the Nuwa Divine Realm, so Jiang Yan thinks that we can help you break the mausoleum of the eldest prince of the Luo family?"
"This, that's true, I asked Jiang Yan to find someone to help me go to the grave. ”
Yue Qianlong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked: "Then it seems that we are not the first group of people to go to the tomb with you, what happened to those people before, did they all die here?"
"No, please believe me, I have asked others before, but none of them were injured, at most they were frightened, and none of them died! I don't know why this mausoleum suddenly became like this, but what I said before is true, I really didn't deceive you, let alone trick you into coming down to die for me. ”
This man is sincere, and I don't know how much it is true or false. Originally, Yue Qianlong felt that this matter was strange, but now that Meng Qingque and Su Lingxi were still uncertain about their life and death, what else could they do but find it? However, she had nothing to do in the Nuwa Divine Realm, could she still be trapped by a small mausoleum? There is always a world of difference between this human power and divine power.
While the two were talking, Su Jue, who was watching from the sidelines, found something and said, "Look, this fire is extinguished, and there seems to be another exit under the bed." ”
The two of them looked at Su Jue's side, and sure enough, the raging fire just now was extinguished at once, and they squatted next to the fire and saw a small crack hidden under the bed.
"There's wind down there, we can go down. ”
"Anyway, there is no heel now, Miss Xuanshuang, Miss Yue, let's go down from here to see what is going on. ”
After some discussion, the three of them broke open the hole and jumped down.
There is no magic lamp here, there is no light everywhere, Xuanshuang only took out an object from her arms at this time, and as soon as she thought of the object like a stone, it emitted a little light, and gradually illuminated everything a few feet away, and suddenly made this dark place show its true appearance. It turned out that the cave was not deep, and they had built a path down the road, but it was very difficult to walk.
"Miss Xuanshuang is really hidden. ”
"Miss Yue is overrated, this is fluorite, taken from the very deep marrow of the north, if used properly, it can emit a strong light like daylight, because Jiang Yan has to come to this underground to temporarily lend me for emergencies. ”
After hearing this, Su Jue stretched out his hand to probe and said, "The wind coming from the front is much stronger, if there is not an exit over there, there is a big dark river or trench." ”
Yue Qianlong sighed: "I really can't imagine that Yushan, which looks so ordinary from the outside, can build such an unfathomable mausoleum. ”
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Luo Yan must build the mausoleum here even though he knows that it is not the best place. ”
"Well, let's move forward first. ”
Su Jue said it well, behind this is a moat, which looks bottomless from the side, and it is pitch black below, and I didn't hear any sound after dropping the stone. And the two sides of this trench are so far apart that it is impossible for ordinary people to pass through.
"Coincidentally, this master didn't figure it out after all sorts of calculations, Miss Xuanshuang, you know how to use swordsmanship. Yue Qianlong smiled and said to the man, "It seems that we can only be taken by Miss Xuanshuang." ”
The person who broke into the mausoleum actually had a sword, which was indeed something that the builder didn't expect, and after coming over, Su Jue and the others fell to the ground. He felt that they had reached a deep place underground, and even the air had become much more cloudy, and he really didn't know when the main burial chamber would appear.
After a short distance they came to a narrow and long burial path, but this burial path was winding, and from the traces of the excavation it appeared to be much more complicated than the previous one. Therefore, they were very careful with every step, for fear of touching some mechanism.
Su Jue walked in front alone and instructed: "You follow the path I have walked, and if there is any abnormality, you will immediately avoid it." ”
"You're going to explore the road on your own?"
"You are women, and I should keep you safe. ”
Yue Qianlong smiled slightly, although Su Jue said coldly, but he attached great importance to the people accompanying him in his heart, if there was any danger, he would definitely carry it first. Su Jue is really a reliable and trustworthy person, and it is a great luck that he can meet such a friend when he first enters the mortal world.
Yue Qianlong followed his steps, stepping on the ground that the man had stepped on little by little, this feeling of following was a little strange, but it didn't make her annoying. Suddenly, she saw the bricks under Su Jue's feet sinking down, not good, it seemed that she had touched the mechanism.
"What's going on?"
Yue Qianlong, who has a keen sense of smell, sniffed carefully, "There is a very special fragrance that I didn't have just now." ”
"Well, Miss Yue, I smell it too. After Xuan Shuang finished speaking, she felt that her whole body was soft, as if she had been drained of a large amount of blood and qi at once, she held her breath and reminded: "Be careful, this fragrance will suck people's essence and blood." ”
Yue Qianlong looked at Su Jue, and sure enough, the person's face was pale, and he instantly weakened a lot, but Yue Qianlong didn't feel it at all, and he was still so energetic.
Xuanshuang sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, they Kunlun has been in the valley for a long time, and while cutting off the five grains, there is also a kind of breathing technique that is specially practiced after entering the meditation, and after mastering it, it can shield the breath for a certain period of time, so as to truly reach the realm of selflessness. This exercise Xuanshuang has been cultivated for a while, and it is not a problem to cut off the breath for a while and a half.
After the situation stabilized, Xuanshuang glanced at Chitaki and signaled that she didn't have to worry about herself. Yue Qianlong nodded and supported Su Jue, who was about to fall in front of him, this person's pulse was weak, and it seemed that he had been sucked a lot of blood, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die.
Now, I have to find out the source of the incense mist before I can figure it out.
"Miss Xuanshuang, you go ahead first, and I'll take care of him. Yue Qianlong pulled Su Jue up and wanted to carry him on his back.
The man's body shrank, and he immediately excused himself: "Miss Yue, this is not possible." ”
"What's the point, how many steps can you walk on your own now? Don't get me wrong, I'm not willing to carry you, I just don't want to drag me and Xuanshuang down because of you. ”
"I ......"
"I'll talk about what I want to say until I've passed this level. Yue Qianlong immediately carried the person on his shoulder.
"I can only offend first. ”
Su Jue was very embarrassed, at this time he neither dared to lie on Yue Qianlong's shoulders nor lean forward, so he could only straighten his waist and honestly put his hands at his side, as if he was afraid of any more physical contact with Yue Qianlong.
