Chapter 252: Life and Death
Looking at this place, Chen Nian's heart was a little afraid, and she couldn't help but ask Wan Chaozong.
"Wan Chaozong, this place is so strange, how do you feel that there is not even a small animal." Chennian felt that this place was a little panicked, there was no life at all, and his whole body was cold and terrible, and he wanted to escape from this place immediately.
"There should be something like some kind of enchantment or spell here, so that ordinary creatures don't dare to approach, and the owner of this cemetery should be afraid that someone will disturb him." Wan Chaozong shrugged his shoulders, he could only explain it like this.
He didn't know why it was so cold, but they had to be careful now, the people of the cemetery didn't want outsiders to break in.
Wan Chaozong and Chen Nian cleaned up the weeds around the cemetery, revealing a semicircular hole one meter square, and there was a stone tablet next to the hole, on which were engraved four vigorous and powerful characters "The old man returns".
Wan Chaozong took out the map of the cemetery given to them by the patriarch again, and looked at it carefully, it seemed that they were not looking for the wrong place, this is indeed what they want to find the purpose.
Thinking of the difficulties on the road, he sighed, "Fortunately, the patriarch gave us this map, a cemetery is built like a labyrinth, and there is really no way to find an exit without a map." ”
With the indication of this map, the structure of this cemetery has become very simple, there is only one main burial chamber in the entire burial chamber, next to the burial chamber is an arc-shaped path, and the other dug in all directions, all of which are some confusing routes.
If you don't have this map, you'll probably get lost, but because they already have a map, they can easily find their way to the outside world.
If you want to get to the outside world, there are two routes recorded in the map, one is to go directly through the main burial chamber, so that you can get out by the shortest and safest route, and the other is to bypass the main burial chamber and detour from the side path.
Chen Nian and Wan Chaozong had no intention of disturbing the ancestors, and decided to bypass the main burial chamber through the passage next to them.
Although it will make them walk a lot more way, but now is also the best way, they don't want to disturb other people because of their own affairs.
It's just that two bars will be drawn with black lines every other distance on this drawing, and the patriarch doesn't know what these symbols mean, the two of them look at these black lines, and they have a bad feeling in their hearts, so they are very cautious where these black lines are near.
Chen Nian and Wan Chaozong suspected that these were the obstacles set up by the patriarch and their ancestors, Wan Chaozong carefully entered the cemetery in front of Chen Nian and the last two people, and they chose the correct path according to the instructions of the map.
Estimating the distance to the first place where the horizontal line was drawn, Wan Chaozong stopped, and he looked at this place and it didn't seem to be anything strange on the outside.
"This is the first place in the book where a horizontal line is drawn, and there is a good chance that there will be a mechanism in this place, so be careful," he said.
Chennian's nerves also tensed, she had always been most afraid of these calligraphy things, so of course she would be more careful about these things.
And she didn't know what was going to happen in front of her, a tunnel that no one had walked in thousands of years, and she didn't know what was waiting for them.
The two of them moved forward cautiously, but suddenly the entire cave shook, Wan Chaozong grabbed Chennian's hand, pulled Chennian into his arms, and released the spiritual power to form a spiritual power cover, protecting the two of them, the spiritual power cover can hinder the attack of falling rocks on them, even if the entire tunnel collapses, it will not overwhelm them.
The shaking lasted only a few seconds before it stopped, and the stone that had been tumbling down was lying quietly on the ground again, as if nothing had happened.
Wan Chaozong and Chen Nian looked around, there was originally only one road passage, but now there were two forks in the road, and it seemed that this fork in the road suddenly appeared because of the shaking just now.
Wan Chaozong took the map and carefully compared the route, but saw that this intersection was not recorded on the map at all, "What's the matter?" The map clearly shows that there is only one road in this place, why is there a fork in the road? ”
Chennian couldn't figure it out, she seemed to remember that she hadn't seen this fork in the road when she looked at it, but it appeared after shaking.
Just now they only cared about fighting against the falling rocks overhead and the shaking force, and they didn't notice at all when one road became two, the structure of this cemetery is really ingenious, but suddenly there is an extra road, it is also unbelievable.
"Is it a vision? Then let's explore one road at a time, if one is a fantasy and the other is a real road, then let's see our luck. "Wan Chaozong has no choice but to explore the truth one by one.
They had to choose one of these two paths, but they didn't know which was the right one.
"No, Wan Chaozong, look! There is a stone tablet in front of it, and there seems to be words on it. ”
Chen Nian vaguely saw that there seemed to be a stone tablet in the middle of the two forks, which was ten times more obvious.
There were some small fonts faintly displayed on it, and he hurriedly pulled Wan Chaozong forward.
Chennian wiped off the floating soil on the stone tablet, only to see that it was written, "Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, who is born and who is dead, please measure".
Chen Nian looked puzzled, looking at this stone tablet, she didn't know what this stone tablet meant.
"What does this mean? Could it be that only one of the two of us is alive? No, there's still this routine, collect one first, and then leave another live hole for the later mechanism. ”
Wan Chaozong couldn't understand the meaning of this, but if he could only live one of the two, then he would definitely let Chennian get out alive, but now he suspected that the words written on it did not mean this.
Although he thought so, Wan Chaozong couldn't say anything about who died and who lived, he shook Chennian's hand and said, "Don't worry, neither of us will die, we will go out together."
Chen Nian thought about saying a few words to Wan Chaozong, but he felt that something was dangling around him.
I saw that the two forks in the road suddenly became golden, and a door plaque appeared at the same time, one door said the door of life, and the other door said the door of death.
Chen Nian looked at the words displayed on the door on both sides of the fork in the road, looked at Wan Chaozong speechlessly and said, "Do you think this person has something wrong with his brain?" Of course, they all chose to be born, and who would be stupid to choose death. ”
Wan Chaozong shook his head with a smile, counted the dust with his hand and said, "It's an ancestor, you should pay a little attention to what you say!" Miss. ”
Chen Nian stuck out his tongue, folded his hands, and said with a playful smile: "Don't blame the ancestors, don't blame the ancestors."
Wan Chaozong said: "It's definitely not so easy, and if you choose to be born, you may not be able to get out alive."
He frowned and looked at the two gates that appeared in front of him, although they said the door of life and the door of death, but the real truth was obviously not so simple.
Also, if it's such a simple question, there's no need to pretend to be a ghost to do these things, it seems that there must be something in them that they don't know, where is the real trick?
Just as they were hesitating, new words appeared on the stele.
"Choose the door of life, you live, people in another time and space die, choose the door of death, people in other time and space live, you die."
Things are really not so simple, this can make it difficult for them, this really gives them a great test, and it is also a huge torture for them, both of them want to survive, but, there are hundreds of lives in another time and space, so let her decide the life and death of those people so easily, she can't do it anyway.
Wan Chaozong seemed to understand Chennian's thoughts, of course he knew that Chennian, a kind person, didn't want others to die because of her decision.
She smiled and said, "Nian'er, believe it or not, even if we choose the door of death, I can keep you out safely."
Seeing Wan Chaozong smiling with a relaxed face, Chen Nian suddenly made a nymphomaniac in his heart, he always looked like this, it seemed that he could easily solve all things, and all the difficulties were out of the question.
All right! Confident men are the most attractive.
She also smiled, and suddenly felt that the difficulty in front of her was not a difficulty at all, and she would definitely be able to solve it.
So he said: "What are you dragging on, my current cultivation level is not lower than you at all, okay, I don't believe in choosing the door of death, we can't get out alive."
Although the two of them are not compassionate saints, they can't exchange hundreds of lives for the lives of the two of them.
For them, the lives of these hundreds of people are naturally much more important than the lives of the two of them, and no matter what difficulties and dangers it is, the two of them will have to break through today.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and entered the door of death without hesitation, and the moment they entered, whether it was two forks or a stone monument, it seemed that they suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and their feet did not fall to the ground as they imagined, but seemed to jump into a deep pit at once.
When the two of them landed smoothly on the ground, when they looked up, they fell more than ten meters.
They were in a huge circular burial chamber with a huge sarcophagus in the middle, could it be that they had accidentally fallen into the main burial chamber through the passage they had just had? This is even connected to the main burial chamber.
The space of the whole tomb is very large, and I saw that there were torches around the tomb, which should have been injected with spiritual power, and still illuminated the entire tomb as bright as day for thousands of years.
"Wan Chaozong, look, there are words on the four walls of this tomb." The first time Chen Nian wanted to come was to observe the surrounding environment, but when he looked at this stone wall, he found that these stone walls were all written on them.
