Chapter 54: Crossing the Grave
"That's a world I haven't been to, be careful."
The vermilion lacquer door was opened, and there was an ancient, heavy muffled sound, and a large amount of smoke and unpleasant smell came to the face, as if it had opened a storage room that had not been used for many years.
With the exception of Baili, all four of us loaded our pistols and stared nervously. However, the "world" behind the door surprised us.
There's nothing behind this door, it's just a wall. The bottom is made of bricks, about two meters high, in the shape of "Gui", and the rest is a whole black unknown hard stone wall, does this mean that the wall is demolished from us?
Without saying a word, the sissy took out a "7" shaped tool from the inside of her coat, this thing has been seen in the mountains before, small and easy to carry, and it works.
The sissy told us to step back, knock and bang around the brick wall, touch and touch, and it took a long time to turn around, and her face was a little embarrassed: "It's not good, there may be a mechanism." ”
As soon as the sissy words came out, several of us were nervous, if there was really a secret channel, as soon as the bricks on the wall were taken away, maybe the flying knives and poisonous arrows would fly out like locusts crossing the border, and the most unlucky person was of course the person who took the bricks, and there was no time to dodge.
"I'll come." Without a trace of hesitation, Baili stood up.
The sissy handed him the tool in her hand: "Then you remember, you will move whichever piece I say." ”
The first thing to take is the top piece of the "Gui" shape, the brick joints are glued with mortar, Baili is fixed with a sword, climb up some height, knock on the brick joints several times, and then begin to twitch slowly. The sissy pulled Gu Fei and Xiao Xiao to hide in the secret passage, and I stayed to take care of Baili.
It was about ten centimeters long, and before it could be pulled out, Baili suddenly threw forty or fifty pounds of bricks to the ground, and I obviously felt a few shocks under my feet.
"Beware of poison gas!" The sissy suddenly shouted, and as soon as the words fell, I heard a muffled sound of "poof", and a black fog sprayed out of the hole, and Baili turned around and jumped down, pushed me in, and covered my mouth and nose: "Get down!" ”
The black mist sprayed with a strange cry, and a musty and damp smell suddenly spread. After a long time, the fog gradually turned from black to white, and gradually floated upwards like wisps of light smoke. I swept around with a flashlight, and as a result, my vision was a little blurry, and I only saw a figure lying there at the entrance of the dark passage.
Baili slowly let go of his hand, and I was choked by the pungent smell and coughed, and tears flowed.
"This ...... Ahem...... It's a tomb, right? Xiao Xiao also coughed non-stop, and asked while covering his mouth.
The so-called tomb gas is the gas of decaying and moldy substances accumulated over thousands of years when the ancient tomb has been sealed for a long time and the air is not circulated. So, there's an ancient tomb in front?
The fog gradually thinned, and this hundred miles went up with the sissy, and the bricks on the wall were pulled out layer by layer, and the hole became bigger and bigger, and when it stopped, it was already two meters high. Gu Fei took the flashlight and shone it inside, it was pitch black, and the light of the flashlight was like a firefly flying in the undercurrent, just a point of light, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
There was silence in the tomb, there was no sound, and it was so quiet that people were nervous for no reason. I threw a small stone into it, and there was only a clear sound of landing in the cave, so there should be no mechanism.
Baili drew his sword, took the lead and walked in.
Received an ordinary flashlight and replaced it with a wolf's eye, but the illumination is still not high, and the four sides of this tomb seem to be coated with special light-absorbing materials. We had to stick to the wall, one by one, and grope our way inside.
I can feel that there is a lot of space inside, and I can't touch any other edges except for the wall behind me. The space was filled with nothing but darkness and the pungent smell of decay. Everyone was doubly alert and cautious, thinking about the unexpected situations that might come their way.
I could only hear the sound of walking and rubbing in my ears, and the sissy suddenly cleared her throat and startled me: "Where are we going?" ”
As soon as I wanted to scold him, Gu Fei "shh I don't know if this gas will be harmful to the human body, or it is better to talk less and inhale less. Moreover, once you are distracted, you will miss the best time to avoid if you encounter danger.
The sissy muttered a few words, did not speak again, and fell silent again.
I don't know how long I walked, Baili suddenly stopped in front of me, I leaned over to look for a long time, and it was actually another door. This time it is a jade gate, the size is about the same as the jade gate I saw when I first entered the underground palace, the whole body is white, and it should be a whole piece of Hetian jade. It's just that in comparison, the appearance of this jade door is much more normal.
Nearly 100 milky nails are arranged vertically and horizontally on each door, and under the two beast heads that are far away from each other is the ring that opens the door.
"There's a dark arrow!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, so frightened that we immediately fell down, our hearts jumped to our throats, and we could only hear each other's breathing. After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no movement, and I couldn't help but look up in confusion.
It turned out that there were hundreds of arrows hidden in the dark on both sides of the jade gate, only about three inches exposed, densely arranged, and my scalp was numb when I saw it. Presumably, as soon as you knock on the door knocker and open the jade door, the mechanism will be triggered immediately, and all of us will be shot into honeycomb coal.
I looked around, and Gu Fei and the sissy crawled over to see the situation in Yumen. Xiao Xiao waited next to me and asked me intermittently.
"Yang Lingyi?"
"What?" Realizing that Xiao Xiao was a woman, I softened my attitude again, "What's wrong?" ”
"Do you know whose grave this is?"
I shook my head: "Not sure. "Maybe it's King Shuliang...... The lord of the Qu country who is obsessed with wealth and ruthless.
"Hmm...... Did Wu Laosi die here? ”
"Yes and no. Wu Laosi happened behind another jade gate. ”
The tomb road is inclined downward, and it only calms down when I get here, I answer Xiao Xiao's questions from time to time, and at the same time I hurriedly sweep the surroundings with a flashlight, but the dust here is too heavy, and everything is just a vague approximation.
"Lingyi, come here." Gu Fei suddenly called me, I thought there was something to discover.
Gu Fei pointed to the gap between the two doors, I leaned over to look, the gap was about two centimeters wide, what was inside, I could hardly understand, I saw that there was a stone bar that held the jade door to death, no matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't push it.
Now we will make a difficulty, the door knocker cannot be moved, the jade door cannot be pushed open, and the air conditions in this place cannot allow us to stay for a long time.
Just thinking about it, Baili threw a sword over, and the sword almost grazed my nose, which made me tremble and fall back: "Damn!" ”
